On December 12, 2007, following recommendations and initiatives proposed by
Commissioner Steinberg, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2007-3586,
creating Section 106-55(n) of the City Code, which established ahybrid/ILEV (Inherently Low
Emissions Vehicles) vehicles incentive program. This program, effective January 1, 2008,
allows the City to offer certain incentives to qualified and registered hybrid/ILEV vehicle owners
including:
• a 25% discount for monthly parking permit holders in City facilities, and a 25% discount
for residential permit holders on annual orsemi-annual residential permits; and
• making available 500 City-wide on-street City parking decals, on a first-come first-served
basis, honored at on-street metered spaces in the City, for a cost of $365.00 per year.
In furtherance of the aforesaid incentive program, Commissioner Steinberg is proposing an
amendment to Chapter 106-55(n). The proposed amendment, would effectively accomplish the
following:
1. reducing the hybrid Citywide decal fee from $365.00 to $100.00 per year

SUB.IECT: Fiscal Impact of Proposed Hybrid/ILEV Vehicles Incentives
The proposed amendments to the Hybrid/ILEV incentives will likely have a nominal fiscal impact
through the pilot period, which will sunset in December 2008. The fiscal impact is calculated as
follows:
o At the proposed 50% discount for residential parking permits, the value of the discounts
will have a value ranging from $25 to $125 annually per permit.
o At the proposed 50% discount the monthly municipal parking permit discount will have a
value ranging from $35 to $50 per permit.
o The reduction in the citywide parking decal fee from $365 to $100 equates to a $265
reduction annually per permit and the expansion of the decal use to both on-street and off-
street meters increases the locations they are honored at by 126%.
There are 1 13 Hybrid/ILEV vehicles registered with Miami Beach addresses. Of those 1 13, only
ten (10) have participated thus far in the incentive program. However, if the incentive program is
extended beyond the current sunset provision and contingent upon the length of said extension,
there may be increased revenue losses associated with the program as the utilization of
Hybrid/ILEV vehicles increases over time.
We are committed to providing excellent public service and safety to all who live, work, and play in our vibrant, tropical, historic community.
