Miami-Dade County’s Parking Violations Bureau (PVB) is a County agency operated through the Clerk of the Courts Office (Clerk) responsible for the collection, processing, and adjudication of parking fines for all municipalities in Miami-Dade County. Their functions include accounting and processing of all parking citations; adjudication through the Clerk of the Courts; and collection and disbursement of revenues derived from parking fines.
In coordination with all Miami-Dade County municipalities, the County spearheaded an effort to acquire a computerized parking ticket issuing system. The City’s Parking Department has utilized this system since its inception, and it has been a very useful tool in our parking enforcement operations.
PVB has informed the City that the current system is still operating on a 3G technology platform that will no longer be operational as of November 30, 2021. As such, the handhelds currently being used need to be replaced.
The Clerk has entered into an agreement with Duncan Technologies, Inc. to procure new handheld devices that operate on a 5G technology platform.
The Interlocal Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, is required to continue to be a part of PVB’s Uniform Digital Parking Citation Issuing System. This agreement authorizes the Clerk to charge the City a fee of $1.25 per citation issued during the two (2) year term of the agreement, as a cost recovery effort and to provide the financial support needed to operate the system. In 2019 the County increased parking fines, resulting in higher citation revenues to the City. The proposed charge is off-set by the increased parking citation revenue and would be deducted from the revenue transmitted to the City on a monthly basis.
