body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) lacks statutory authority to enforce or regulate parking activities outside the boundaries of the DIB. Recently the City Council made a determination to have the City resume responsibility for parking regulation and enforcement throughout the City commencing October 1, 2020.
City Council took action on May 28, 2020, to terminate the Interlocal Agreement(s) with the DIB, City, and CRA, bringing all parking management operations under City management effective October 1, 2020.
The DIB owns and operates a trash compactor located at the Jefferson Street Parking Garage used for dumpster and recycling services for participating businesses where a monthly fee is established by business category for those waste disposal services. The DIB will continue to manage this process.
The DIB owns the bollards staged at the Jefferson Street Parking Garage. These assets are currently stored in the Jefferson Street Parking Garage storage area. These bollards are used in conjunction with a variety of events and activities held in the downtown area of the City of Pensacola. These bollards are used as barriers and traffic control devices.
In consideration of the activity, the City and DIB desire to enter into a lease agreement for the space currently being utilized at the Jefferson Street Parking Garage and the associated services provided. The term of the lease shall be for two years from the date of the lease, and at expiration of the term, this lease shall automatically renew for an additional one-year term on the anniversary of the effective date.
PRIOR ACTION:
November 29, 2007- The City Council and the CRA entered into Interlocal Agreements with the DIB, which allowed the DIB to manage and enforce parking regulations in the downtown business district.
