A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, DIRECTING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO
IMPLEMENT BY OR BEFORE MARCH 1, 2026 A NON-RESIDENT EMPLOYEE
PARKING PROGRAM, INCLUDING REDUCED PARKING RATES FOR
MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI BEACH WORKFORCE —PARTICULARLY
HOSPITALITY EMPLOYEES —WHO FACE HIGH PARKING COSTS, AT A
COST NOT TO EXCEED $75,000.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach is home to a vibrant hospitality and service -based
economy that relies heavily on a dedicated workforce, many of whom commute from outside the
City; and
WHEREAS, non-resident employees, including those working in hotels, restaurants, and
other essential sectors, often face high parking costs that create a significant financial burden and
impact their ability to access their places of employment affordably; and
WHEREAS, providing reduced parking rates for non-resident employees would help
alleviate these financial pressures, support workforce retention, and promote economic resilience
by making it easier for employees to continue working in Miami Beach; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission are committed to supporting the City's
workforce and ensuring that parking policies are equitable, accessible, and responsive to the
needs of those who contribute to the City's economy; and
WHEREAS, the development of a structured non-resident employee parking program
would allow the City to offer targeted relief to workers while maintaining effective parking
management and revenue oversight; and
WHEREAS, residents currently pay $70 per month for passes valid at municipal lots and
$75 per month for passes valid at municipal garages; and
WHEREAS, a program providing for a monthly rate of $100 for garages G8 and G9 up to
150 non-resident employees, on a first -come, first -served basis, would not have a material impact
on parking revenues (less than $75,000) but would nevertheless provide much needed relief for
non-resident employees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby direct the
City Administration to implement by or before March 1, 2026 a non-resident employee parking
program, including reduced parking rates for members of the Miami Beach workforce —
particularly hospitality employees —who face high parking costs, at a cost not to exceed $75,000.
