CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
PARKING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
FRIDAY, September 7, 2007
8:30 AM
SUMMARY MINUTES
I Shirley Huebner called the meeting to order at 8:30 am
Board members present constituting a quorum:
Shirley Huebner, Sharon McCain, Ken Merker, Michael Miller,
Alex Abril Al Elias absent
II. status on staff support matter and signage money in new budget
It was agreed that Shirley Huebner would follow up with manager and Budget
Committee regarding both matters. Result was as follows:
Due to budget constrains we will not be seeing staff, working records are
to be purchased for our use and summary written min. of meetings would be made
by an appointed secretary for the Board. Consideration for a Board secretary is
on the agenda for September 21.
A presentation was made to the Budget Committee regarding funds for
consistent, professional parking and traffic signage as described in the 2003
Parking Committee Report. The City Manager stated funds would be available
for signage. This matter should be considered with the manager at a future
meeting.
II. Residential Decal Parking
Sharon McCain presented information on residential parking describing how well
the Gables Program works. Handouts included samples for the Gables decals and
visitor tags. There was a discussion regarding the placement of the residential
decal on the rear left bumper as well as the inside left driver side window. Visitor
tags would remain as hanging tags for portability and be one per household. There
was a discussion about the use of zones, which both the Gables and Miami Beach
use. It was decided zones would not be used in our program at this time; this was
a cost and printing concern for such a small area. This matter would have to be
addressed in the future should the program grow to other areas. After discussion
a vote of 5 -0 decided residential decals would be $ 20.00 and Visitor tags would
be $ 40.00. Multiple residential decals could be purchased with proof of
residence per the application and document rules but only one visitor tag would
be purchased per household. The primary resident was the only one to purchase
decals and visitor tag.
III. Meters for the Valencia area were put on hold due to a litigation issue.
Information was brought forth on parking meters and it was agreed meters should be
on the next agenda along with Mr.Mcardle to discussed meter purchased for

update

Parking Board Meeting Oct. 5th, 2007
I. Shirley Huebner called the meeting to order at 8:44 AM
Board members in attendance constituting a quorum: Shirley Huebner, Michael Miller, Ken
Murker, XX Albia, Jose Fernandez, Alex Abril, Luis Figueredo, Sharon McCain, Ajibola, absent Al
Elias.
II. Hand out from city manager, report put together by miami parking authority. Members asked to
read it over to discuss and following meeting.
III. Following meetings scheduled for Oct. 19th, Nov. 9th & Nov. 30th
IV. No minutes available for approval.
V. Shirley discussed re- voting on issues of residential decal parking. Raised concern over the
clarity of each issue and suggested regrouping thoughts and concerns over each issue. Before
voting, Sharon McCain asked for anyone on the board who would possibly benefit financially to
recuse themselves from the vote. Luis Figueredo brought up that if Shirley claims that she does
not in fact benefit financially he basically has to accept that statement. Shirley Huebner made the
determintation that she does not benefit financially from the residential parking decals. Michael
Miller suggests letting another body determine the issue of financial gain in favor of Shirley
Huebner and the meeting moves on.
VI. There was a discussion regarding Zones and a concern over how complicated the zoning
would make it for residents to find parking. Sharon raised concern over the zones on 74th terrace
only being half a block long. She then entered into the record a letter written on Oct. 4th to her by
the president of the Alca Condominiums regarding the problem of parking decal zoning for his
building. He /She was in favor of decal parking and asked that the board please consider revising
the zones and the number of spaces provided for the condo's in the area so as to avoid conflicts.
Shirley was in agreement with the owner and asked to board to please consider the issue.
VII. Ajibola discussed the ease of enforcement regarding the parking decals issue and re-
enforced the fact that condo's with less units would be receiving fewer spaces than those with
more units and that it was just a matter of being fair and also keeping the enforcement of the
decals as uncomplicated as possible.
VIII. Shirley Huebner raised concern over how many zones would be created in one specific area.
She felt that the point of residential decal parking was to eliminate the intrusion of the business
area into the residential area, not dedicating spaces to particular properties. She then asked the
board to reconsider carving the area into zones and dedicating spaces as sole property of
condo's in the area. Kenny also asked for clarification on the matter.
IX. Shirley Huebner called a motion to reconsider the previous meetings vote on
residential parking. The motion fails and the vote from the previous meeting stays
unchanged.
X. The decision would be considered as part of the resolution to the decal parking situation that
Ajibola would draft for the commission.
XI. Regarding the decals themselves, Lee Costello with Dade Business Systems addressed the
board. She explained that the decals are valid for 3 years and that the stickers themselves are to
go on the back bumper of the car and come in several colors. They are permanent so as to avoid
theft. She also explained the steps to obtain the decals. The building that is asking for decals
needs to sign a petition that clearly states the cost involved and other important information. 75%
of the building has to sign the petition to make it official. She also presented a smaller decal that
goes on a car window. Several members of the board suggested that the placement of the sticker
be the inside of the left windshield. The board was all in favor of the this placement.
XII. Luis would try to get everyone a copy of the ordinance for review by e-mail before the
next meeting. Calling a special meeting to review the ordinance would be decided when
the ordinance was produced.
XIII. Meeting adjourned at 10:00 AM.
Parking Board Meeting Oct. 19, 2007
I. Board members in attendance constituting a quorum: Shirley Huebner, Alex Abril, Sharon
McCain, Al Elias
Also in attendance were:
Laz Parking, Weener Chavez & Ann Eldridge (Resident of South Miami)
11. No minutes available for review.
III. Shirley asked that the board please review the document given to the board by Mr.Noriega,
the head of the Miami Parking Authority, as well as the analysis that was put together by the
parking board itself in 2003. Mr.Noriega would be coming in for a workshop style meeting to
discuss different parking issues in South Miami. The details on enforcement and collection were
also discussed. Al Elias explained that he had the keys to the meters in a vault and that on the
days of collection, the supervision is supervised and then the keys are put back in the vault.
Laz Parking raised concern that there might be a conflict of interest with Mr.Noriega coming in to
speak to the parking board because Miami Parking Authority would be putting in a bid to work for
South Miami. Alex made a motion to deny the request by the City Manager to bring in Mr.Noriega
to speak to the board.,
Shirley then made a motion to ammend the previous motion to say that the board denies to
request to have Mr. Noriega meet with the board until such a time when the board is given more
reason why the city manager wants the meeting to happen. The board approves the
ammendment and the motion to deny the meeting.
IV. Because Mr.Mcardle could not attend the meeting, Shirley asked his office to provide some
information on the issue of employee parking, such as:
• The date of the garage opening
• Status for request of employee parking
• Whats being designed in the garage for the employees of the facility itself.
The office had not provided any answers so Alex then made a motion to demand information from
the office. The motion was reworded and submitted by Al Elias to ask the city manager to get
McCardle or Richmond to give answers to the aforementioned questions. The board votes all in
favor of this motion. Laz Parking would provide some technical information regarding
removing some diagonal parking from in front of Casa Larios up to Deli lane and Shirley
would formally ask the city manager in writing.
V. In discussing employee parking further, the board decided to put together a list of the 5 most
pressing issues so that they might be addressed according to priority. The list included:
1. Garage Operation (Security, Employee Parking, etc.)
2. Employee Parking
3. Residential Decal Parking
4. Traffic Flow (Sidewalks)
5. Diagonal Parking
6. Additional Parking for the city, East & West of the highway, where to build?
7. Master Meters
In the spirit of finally discussing the Garage Operations before the opening, Sharon made a
motion to have a special meeting on the Friday after the meeting to speak to McCardle or
Richardson if they were avaialble to come in. All were in favor of this meeting.
VI. In regards to the car that Sharon has been following that is illegally parking, Laz & Weener
would be responding to the board in writing regarding the resolution of the situation.
VII. Ann Eldridge, who lives on 59th place, feels the block has been neglected by the city. She
was concerned because employees are getting free parking on her street after the city placed no
parking signs on the diagonal parking down her street. She was asked to put her thoughts in
writing concering the matter so it would be formally on the record.
10:05 AM Meeting was adjourned.
