Summary

Staff presented a three-year agreement to sell reserved parking passes in Flagler College—s garage for Nights of Lights and July 4 events; passes would be $50 and the city would keep 80% of revenue after security costs, with a minimum guarantee.

City staff presented, and commissioners discussed, a proposed three-year agreement to use Flagler College—s parking garage during the Nights of Lights season (Dec. 13 through Jan. 4) and for July 4 events.

Assistant City Manager Ruben Franklin described the arrangement as a cost-share revenue agreement: the city would sell up to 250 reserved parking passes at $50 each (one permit per space). The revenue formula is a minimum of $1,000 or 20% of revenue to Flagler College; Franklin said the city expects to collect about $12,500 in total, of which roughly $10,000 would be used to pay security for the garage during the season and approximately $2,500 would go to Flagler College.

Franklin said the passes would be sold per specific floor/area (not as a roaming/hunt-for-space permit) so a purchased pass would correspond to a space within the designated garage area. The item was presented as an informational staff report and did not require a commission vote.

Ending: Staff will proceed with the agreement implementation steps described and return with operational details; commissioners expressed support for the plan to provide additional reserved parking during high-demand holiday periods.
