PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS/INTRODUCTIONS
Police Chief David Butler and Management Analyst Orrie Covert presented their research
of how the neighboring cities of Satellite Beach, Indialantic, and Melbourne Beach
manage their beach parking programs along with the expenditures and revenue they
incur. They gave two recommended options for Council’s consideration.
• Option 1: Satellite Beach/Indialantic Hybrid Model
o Use Vendor (PCI) for program management/enforcement without
booting/just issuing citations
o Citations would be run through County Court to ensure payment
• Option 2: Reserving space for IHB Citizens
o Half of all parking space at beach parks reserved for IHB citizens
o Citations issued by IHB Police Officers
o Use County Court/DMV model to ensure fine payment

City Council Workshop Agenda Item
Beach Parking
Meeting Date: September 03, 2024
Cost: TBD
Attachments: Presentation containing Information and analysis of
neighboring municipal paid parking programs
Staff Recommendation:
Direction to staff regarding how to proceed.
Background Information:
The City owns and operates two beach parks with a combined 67 vehicular parking spots:
Millennium 27 total spots
Bicentennial 40 total parking spots
The City Council previously discussed the issue of beach parking on March 26th and June
17th. Staff met personally with representatives of the following jurisdictions to gain insight
and data regarding their paid beach parking programs:
Town of Melbourne Beach
Town of Indialantic
City of Satellite Beach
While the data collection and analysis indicate all three municipalities generate
considerable revenue from their paid parking programs, the number of parking spaces in
these municipalities is vastly more than the 67 total spaces in IHB beach parks. Staff will
present a concise presentation at the workshop highlighting the three programs.
