SUMMARY:
On November 29, 2007, the City entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Pensacola Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) for the creation of a comprehensive downtown parking strategy for the centralized and efficient management of downtown parking facilities. As referenced in Section 15. B. of the interlocal agreement, after the fifth annual anniversary of the initial term of the interlocal agreement, the City may, upon the affirmative vote of City Council, terminate this Agreement without cause upon one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice to the DIB.
The Downtown Parking Management District (DPMD) historically managed 6,300 total spaces, with 4,500 of those spaces within the downtown core with private spaces totaling roughly 14,700. Boundary changes to the managed area reduced parking by 2,400 to a revised total of 3,900 within the downtown core. The DPMD managed area includes the area bounded on the westernmost side of DeVilliers St., on the north by the northernmost side of Wright St. and the CSX Railroad tracks, on the east by the easternmost side of Ninth Ave., and on the south by the southernmost shoreline of Pensacola Bay.
The Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) cannot enforce or regulate parking activities and enforcement outside the established district. The Mayor, with City Council approval, would like to expand the parking management boundaries to match those boundaries of the City of Pensacola and bring all parking activities under City management effective October 1, 2020. It is anticipated that taking this action will be budget neutral to the City.
City Council took action on May 28, 2020, to terminate the Interlocal Agreement with the DIB bringing all parking management operations under City management. The Parking Budget must be approved by the City Council amending the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget. The Parking Management Budget includes the salaries for seven full-time employees and the associated operating funding for Fiscal Year 2021.
