EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommend to approve Resolution 2008- 2 ~ which supersedes Resolution
2007-33 to increase the annual, non-resident beach parking permit to $50
Obiective: To ensure proper maintenance of beach parking facilities within Collier
County.
Considerations: On January 23, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners (Agenda
Item l6F2) approved a recommendation to revise the Beach Parking Policy and authorize
staff to amend Ordinance 89-17 and/or Resolution 2002-430 as necessary to allow for the
sale of a non-resident beach parking permit. The expense associated with maintaining
Collier County/City beaches was estimated to cost the residential beach user $30 per
year.
The purpose for allowing the sale of the permit was to:
· Maximize revenue contribution by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) based upon an understanding that the FDEP would reduce by
at least $I,7M the reimbursement to the county for the beach renourishment
program,
· Potentially increase the County and City of Naples revenue through flat rate beach
parking fees from tourists, visitors, and seasonal residents.
· SatisfY a requirement by FDEP to allow visitors, tourists, and seasonal residents
to have the opportunity to purchase the annual parking permit for the identical
price (that through their ad valorom contributions) residents are able to do in
order to maintain beach renourishment funding,
On February 13,2007 a repeal of resolution No, 2002-430 allowed for the creation ofa
non-resident beach parking permit. Section Three (D) of the resolution, which describes
beach parking fees stipulates:
Collier County's visitors, tourists, and seasonal residents may purchase an annual parking
permit at a County facility for the same price ($30.00) at which the permit is available to
residents.
At the time of Resolution 2007-33 the cost of $30 was determined by crediting the
revenues received for beach parking, vendor and concession fees against beach
operational expenses. After further analysis, staff is recommending that the net loss
produced by the beach parking sales be determined and that the beach parking sticker
reflect the actual loss of the beach parking permit. This would increase the non-resident
beach parking sticker to $50 annually. As the table attached shows, total combined net
loss related to beach parking is $2,430,083 annually. The total number of resident stickers
(county and city) issued for FY 07 was 49,226. Dividing the annual costs of beach
parking by the total number of stickers issued equates to a $50 annual fee.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted 7-0 to recommend increasing the non-
resident beach parking fee to $50 on January 16, 2008.
Lel!al Consideration: The proposed Resolution was reviewed by the Office of the
County Attorney and approved for legal sufficiency.
Fiscal ImDact: Adjusting the Resident and Non-resident Beach Parking permit will
eliminate the deviation from budget created by the $30 annual permit fee,
Growth Manal!ement ImDact: There is no growth management impact due to this
action
Recommendation: Recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve
Resolution 2008- which supersedes Resolution 2007-33 to increase the annual,
resident and non-resident beach parking fee from $30 to $50 per permit.
