She said the recall election is a legal process promulgated by the state of Florida and those
concerned just have to show up and vote their own feelings.
Mayor Dodd reported there was some vandalism to Council Member Gilliams' cars and the
foyer of his real estate building which is unacceptable behavior. The individuals involved in
the recall have the right to go through the process; everyone should respect that as well as
respect those that don't want a recall.
Council Member Gilliams said he was for the recall if it is justifiable but shame on those who
come to his home and throw eggs on his vehicles and at his business. He said if people
wanted to come to his home to meet, just call him but don't vandalize his property.

History of the Sebastian Communitv Redevelopment Aaencv (Sebastian CRA)
The Sebastian Community Redevelopment Agency (Sebastian CRA) was created in 1995 by the City of Sebastian City
Council under Chapter 163, Part III of the Florida Statutes. The original Sebastian CRA includes an area generally
bounded on the north, south and east by the City limits as of 1995, and on the west by the FEC Railroad right-of-way.
The Sebastian CRA was established to ensure that the downtown and surrounding vicinity would develop with a coherent
community vision, and to encourage reinvestment throughout the CRA. The area later was expanded in 2003 to include
the Sebastian Boulevard "Triangle" area west of the FEC Railroad right-of-way, which includes industrial and
commercial land use. The total Sebastian CRA land area is approximately 398 acres (Exhibit 1). Excluding road rights -
of -way, zoning and land use covers approximately 299 acres.
The governing body of the Sebastian CRA is the Sebastian City Council. The CRA Board is comprised of five (5)
members. Under the State Statutes and the City ordinances, the Sebastian CRA has substantial powers and authority
within the Sebastian CRA area. These include the power to make and execute contracts, to acquire and dispose property,
to approve development plans, to implement a program of voluntary or compulsory rehabilitation of buildings, to
mortgage its property, to borrow and invest money, and to apply for and accept grants and contributions.
The major funding source for the Sebastian CRA is tax increment revenue. Tax increment revenue is the increase in ad
valorem tax attributed to the increase in the assessed property value over a set `base year" for the redevelopment area. The
government jurisdictions remitting tax increment revenue to the Sebastian CRA are the City of Sebastian and the Indian
River County Board of County Commissioners.
After the establishment of the Sebastian CRA in 1995, the City established the Redevelopment Trust Fund and the base
year for tax increment revenues as well as adopted the 1995 Community Redevelopment Plan. The boundary was later
expanded to include the adjacent Sebastian Boulevard "Triangle" area in 2003, establishing a new base year for this area
of the CRA. The redevelopment plan was also modified on behalf of the Sebastian CRA in 2003, unifying the 1995
Sebastian CRA boundary and the expansion area as one cohesive CRA. The Master Plan was again updated in 2010,
presenting conceptual district recommendations, potential policy amendments, and capital improvements intended to meet
the City's redevelopment goals.
Termination of Sebastian CRA (F.S. 163.3755)
A community redevelopment agency in existence on October 1, 2019, shall terminate on the expiration date provided in
the agency's charter on October 1, 2019, or on September 30, 2039, whichever is earlier. Unless the governing body of
the County or municipality that created the community redevelopment agency approves its continued existence by a
majority vote of the members of the governing body, the Sebastian CRA shall sunset on September 30, 2039.
