PHS: Defer

 

Council Auditor Kirk Sherman stated that it is improper for the administration to be using the Public Parking Enterprise Fund as a funding source for subsidization of the juror shuttle operation, as the juror shuttle is not related to the operation of the parking garages and parking meters.  He noted that the JTA is no longer operating the Monday juror shuttle system; federal law prohibits the JTA from competing with private bus operators because the authority receives federal funding.  A private company is doing the Monday shuttle to accommodate the large number of jurors reporting for jury duty.  The Clerk of the Courts office operates a shuttle the remainder of the week when ridership is smaller.  The Clerk of the Courts estimates that it would need 500 parking spaces to accommodate the Monday jury assembly.  Using the City’s MPS-operated courthouse garage for that purpose would displace 200-300 paying parkers on Monday of each week.

 

Mr. Sherman reported that the Public Parking Enterprise Fund is currently in a deficit position and cannot sustain the juror parking shuttle without a subsidy from somewhere.  The MPS garage operations contract requires the City to subsidize any operating losses.  The City has budgeted $1.2 million in subsidies for the current fiscal year, down from $2 million in previous years because the opening of the new courthouse has increased occupancy in the courthouse garage.  The relocation of several thousand employees to downtown office buildings in the past couple of years has also helped increase occupancy at the Water Street Garage.  In response to a question Mr. Sherman stated that the City does not have a legal or contractual obligation to provide free parking for jurors, but that has always been the City’s practice.  Mayor’s Chief of Staff Chris Hand said that 66 of the 67 Florida counties provide that service as a courtesy to jurors, and the administration is meeting with the Clerk of the Courts in the next week to discuss a list of parking options.

Bill Summary                         

 

Council Member Schellenberg advocated for use of the funds to allow council members to provide fixes to small problems in district parks.  Assistant Council Auditor Janice Billy suggested amending out the phrase “in accordance with the Parks Master Plan                        since that plan covers big ticket items, not small repairs and improvements.  Parks and Recreation Director Kelley Boree explained the original intent of the Loblolly Wetlands Mitigation Trust Fund and the City’s commitments to make improvements on conservation lands acquired with state and federal funding.  There is no direct tie between the two programs, but the Loblolly fund’s revenue was informally identified as a funding source for the commitments to improve the conservation lands.  If that funding is put to other uses, then alternative revenues will be needed to make the promised conservation land improvements.  Council Member Lee advocated for council district funds that could be used for both park and public works needs.
