OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
MIAMI -DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA
Miami -Dade County (County) is commencing the process for the Fiscal Year 2012 -2013 Parking Fines
Reimbursement Program. The Interlocal Agreement between the County and the municipalities has been
revised. In order to participate in the program, each municipality must submit a new executed Interlocal
Agreement and the annual Affidavit (enclosed). The executed Interlocal Agreement will remain on file until
further notice. The Affidavit states that the funds reimbursed shall be used to improve accessibility and
equal opportunity to qualified persons who have disabilities in the municipality and to conduct disability
public awareness programs.
Reimbursements to municipalities are based on a percentage of revenue collected during Fiscal Year
2011 -2012. The amount is determined by calculating the total amount of fine collected on tickets issued
in a municipality divided by the total number of tickets paid countywide. Funding estimates include a
percentage of the carryover monies that were not distributed to any municipality in the previous year.
The City of South Miami is entitled to $4,226 as a result of fines collected in the previous fiscal year and
unspent funds from other municipalities. The aforementioned Affidavit must be submitted within 60 days
of the date of this letter to receive these funds.
In accordance with Section 30 -447 of the Code of Miami -Dade County, parking fine funds generated from
the misuse of marked spaces for people with disabilities is used in the following manner:
• One -third of the funds are to be used to defray the Clerk of Courts' administrative expenses, and
• Two - thirds of the funds are to be used to improve accessibility and equal opportunity to qualified
physically disabled persons and to provide funds to conduct public awareness programs concerning
physically disabled persons. Of this amount, 30 percent is retained by the County for countywide
purposes, in accordance with State law and 70 percent is allocated to the governmental entity having
jurisdiction over the violation.
