HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) lacks statutory authority to enforce or regulate parking activities outside the DIB boundaries. Recently City Council made a determination to have the City resume responsibility for parking regulation and enforcement throughout the City commencing October 1, 2020.
On May 28, 2020, City Council took action to terminate the Interlocal Agreement(s) with the DIB, City, and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), bringing all parking management operations under City administration effective October 1, 2020.
The DIB entered into an Interlocal Agreement with WFHPI effective on July 1, 2019. The purpose of the agreement established the terms for management of the 37 parking spaces located at the southwest corner of Tarragona Street and Government Street located in the City of Pensacola.
It is recommended that City Council approve the interlocal agreement with the WFHPI for continued management of the Tarragona Parking Lot facility. The City Parking Management Fund shall pay half of the net positive revenue exceeding nineteen thousand two hundred dollars ($19,200) to the WFHPI on or before the 15th day of the month following the last day of the City of Pensacola’s fiscal year. All remaining funds will be deposited into the City Parking Management Fund. The term net positive revenue means all income received by the Parking Management Fund minus all expenses related to the management of the WFHPI Parking Facilities as reasonably determined by the City of Pensacola. The proposed Interlocal Agreement is attached.
PRIOR ACTION:
