DATE:May  16, 2018
 

First Reading

SUBJECT:

REFERRAL TO THE MAY 18, 2018 FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE REGARDING PARKING RATES FOR THE MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER GARAGE (G11)

RECOMMENDATION

Refer this matter to the May 18, 2018 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) for discussion and direction.

 

The item needs to go to the May 18, 2018 meeting so that first and second reading of the ordinance can be held and the ordinance approved before September 2018 when the Miami Beach Convention Center reopens.

ANALYSIS

Municipal Parking Lot No. P32 (Preferred Parking Lot), located on Convention Center Drive and 18th Street, for many years served as staging, marshalling, and public parking during event days.  As we know, this parking facility will transition to a public park upon completion of the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) project.

 

The replacement parking (900 parking spaces) will be provided at the Miami Beach Convention Center Garage No. 11 which is currently under construction and attached to the MBCC structure.  The garage will be operational concomitantly with the MBCC building.  As a new municipal parking garage, parking fees for this new facility are established by Ordinance and approved by the Mayor and City Commission.

 

The Administration is seeking direction from the FCWPC regarding parking fees for this facility.


CONCLUSION

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission refer this matter to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for discussion and further direction.
