BACKGROUND:

On February 21, 2008, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County and 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. This agreement provided for the management of the County's two Parking Structures; Intendencia Street Parking Garage (Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building) and the Baylen Street Parking Garage (M.C. Blanchard Judicial Building). This agreement authorized the DIB to lease 116 parking spaces on the top level of the Intendencia Street Parking Garage and manage all after-hours and weekend parking for special events in both parking structures. The DIB's management of these two parking structures began on April 1, 2008. On April 3, 2014, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County Board of County Commissioners and the Pensacola Downtown Improvement Board for parking enforcement of the Intendencia Street Parking Garage (Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building)from 7:00 a.m., until 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on designated holidays. For after-hours special event parking occurring from 5:30 p.m., until 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday and on weekends. Under this agreement, DIB terminated its lease rights for the exclusive use of the 116 designated parking spaces due to lack of interest from employees working in neighboring downtown businesses.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Revenue collected from the reserved parking spaces along with the Special Event parking will go into Fund 001-General Fund, Cost Center 310203 Maintenance; Fund 001-General Fund, Cost Center 310207, Utilities; to help off-set the cost of repairs and maintenance of the garages.
