The City Manager stated two workshops were held to hear recommendations from the
public and Council. He briefly went over the proposed categories on page 49 of the
agenda backup and said staff was willing to take direction from Council.
Council Member McPartlan said he would like to wait to spend the money noting there is
a lot of uncertainty right now; the stormwater plan will come back in August/September
and may call for a different specifications, for example a pipe size.

The City Manager advised the Gardenia ditch has been engineered and designed. He
didn't think the Concha dam and Schumann Drive pipe would be changed by the
stormwater master plan but they could be changed during the engineering/design process.
He said the projects have to be designed and engineered by 2023 to get them bid out and
obligated by 2024. He noted they don't have to be completed until 2026 but they have to
have a purchase order or contract written by December 2024.
Council Member Nunn stated by approving the spending plan it wasn't obligating the
money for the specific projects, only the employee incentive plan. They have time to get
the projects together and move money if necessary. He recommended approval of the
plan to move forward with the issues.
Council Member Dodd said he was concerned that the federal government may come
back after the fact if they find out we used the money for a different project. He
explained that if they pay out retention incentives and the federal government determines
that the employees weren't eligible he was concerned that they will have to pay back the
federal government out of general revenue.
Mayor Hill said the Concha project will be done because it is a need. Council Member
Dodd said we have allocated $400,000 in budget for the dam and only $200,000 is
needed from the American Rescue Plan but $700,000 has been earmarked. He asked how
is that higher amount managed through the budgeting process.
Council Member Nunn asked if earmarking the American Rescue monies was considered
the same as allocating it.
The City Manager explained the federal government considers obligating the money by
signing a contract or purchase order. This was a proposed budget plan but it was not
obligated. With regard to the Concha dam, the City would move that unused money into
the stormwater reserves for another stormwater project.
Council Member Dodd said he didn't have a problem with any of the projects but wanted
to make sure they weren't going to have to come back with $3M from the general
revenue to cover the fact that the federal government might say the City didn't play the
game right.
The City Manager said the retention incentive provision could be found on page 28 of the
overview noting the federal government always changes the rules and nothing is to say
some of the projects may end up being funded by FEMA and they may need to find other
projects to spend it on.
Council Member McPartlan said he has always been supportive of the employees and
police but a retention incentive is for someone who is looking to move yet everyone will
be receiving it.

Terry McGinn, Miller Drive, said for every stormwater project the City can backfill with
this money will be fewer funds the City will have to come up with and maybe they won't
be able to because of the rising costs of food, energy, and gas.
Sharon Hermann, Sebastian, said it was awesome to treat the employees for working
during a difficult time. She said every day the City waits to get a bid or commitment on a
project the prices will go up and we may find that we don't have enough money to do the
projects.
Margie Hausmanis, George Street, said in regard to the retention bonuses, she works in a
local hospital where there are employees enticed to go elsewhere for a lot more money so
the hospital is stuck with people not committed or emotionally vested in the City. She
said she supported keeping the quality employees here.
MOTION by Mayor Hill and SECOND by Vice Mayor Jones to go forward with the
recommended spending plan.
Roll call: Council Member Nunn - aye
Mayor Hill - aye
Vice Mayor Jones - aye
Council Member Dodd - aye
Council Member McPartlan - nay

the colors in the CRA District's color wheel.
Council Member Dodd said he wasn't sure what kind of meaning the word "category"

22.045 B. Discussion and Direction on Drafting Pet Waste Ordinance (Transmittal, IRC
Code Sec. 302.05, 302.11)
The City Manager said at the last meeting it was discussed that the City's Code
Enforcement Officer was enforcing the County's ordinance and he asked Council if they
wanted to add a more restrictive ordinance.
Council Member Nunn said from the discussion last time, it didn't seem like they needed
to go any further and it was good to know the City can enact a more restrictive ordinance
if needed. It was the consensus of Council that everything should remain status quo.
Mayor Hill called for a break at 7:14 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:21 p.m. All members
were present.
22.051 C. Consider Code Enforcement Lien Reduction for 373 Harp Terrace (Transmittal,
Real Estate Contract, Citv's Lien, Wells Faruo Payout)
The City Attorney gave a brief history of the City's involvement with the code
enforcement lien and on February 18, 2022, he filed to preserve the City's claim to the
lien and which is now an asset. He said what they have before them today is to determine
if there is an extenuating circumstance or a hardship regarding the lien.
He said the City doesn't have any policies to address the reduction of liens, they would
be hearing unsworn testimony from the property owners and be able to give it as much
weight as they want but his recommendation was to stay the course.
Attorney Jeff Battista, representing Ms. Holpfer, said there is a hardship with this case.
Attorney Sheryl Moore, representing Mr. Holpfer, said the house was about to sell and
the Holpfers were concerned that the lien would diminish the equity of the house once the
mortgage is paid off. She asked Council to lower or remove the lien amount.

Mayor Hill said on September 16, 2019 there were two notices of violation dropped off
asking to move the trailer within five days or will face a fine of $250 a day resulting in a
lien against the property or require the appearance in County Court. The property owners
received a second code violation on September 24, 2019. He continued to say 56 days
went by and the case went before the magistrate where the property owners were ordered
to bring the property into compliance within 10 days or else the fine would start. This
order included appellate instructions. The owners left the trailer in front of the house
until they decided to move out. Mayor Hill said he would not even consider anything
less than a 50% reduction to show the City's laws do matter.
Vice Mayor Jones said Code Enforcement's ultimate goal is to achieve compliance but
sometimes there are extenuating circumstances. He said based on what he read, he was
not opposed to a reduced fine amount.
Council Member Nunn said he has spent time looking at the whole case and he was
against reducing fines in most circumstances, but there are times and situations that
involve extenuating circumstances that can't be avoided.
MOTION by Council Member Nunn to reduce the lien to $1,500.00. The motion died
for lack of a second.
Council Member Dodd said he too believes that if someone breaks a law they should pay
for it. Because of the circumstances surrounding this case, he said a $25.00 per day fine
would be more appropriate. The lien amount would be $16,500.00 which would protect
the integrity of the code enforcement system and provide relief for this case.
MOTION by Council Member Dodd and SECOND by Council Member Nunn to reduce
the lien to $16,500.00,
Mayor Hill said he would not support this motion.
Council Member McPartlan said these fines would still be incurring today if the house
wasn't being foreclosed on which would be an additional $12,000 or at the rate of $25.00
a day, it would be an additional $3,000.00. He said he was in agreement with Mayor
Hill.
Council Member McPartlan said if they forgive the $52,000.00 today, there will be a long
list of people that want to park their boats in the driveway or put up a ten foot fence in the;
future.
The City Attorney advised since the house had gone to foreclosure, when it was sold, the
bank would get their money and the City would be second in line.
Vice Mayor Jones said he could not support anything less than a 50% reduction.

Ms. Moore said if the parties did know about the notice they would have removed the
trailer.
The City Attorney described the notice steps that the City had taken.
Council Member Nunn said without getting into anything, there are circumstances
beyond control which is the reason he made his motion and agreed to Council Member
Dodd's motion. He asked Council to consider the situation is not as everything may
look.
Council Member Dodd said he agreed with Council Member Nunn.

22.052 D. City of Sebastian 100t' Year Anniversary Celebration (Transmittal, 1924
Minutes)
The City Manager said it was important to get a committee together of long standing
people to participate in preparing for the 100a' Year Celebration. He requested some
names of people from the Council Members.
Mayor Hill suggested working with the Chamber of Commerce.
Vice Mayor Jones suggested Cathy McDonald from the historical society.
Council Member Dodd suggested that they establish a seven person committee who will
call upon groups such as the historical society to make it work. He said they should put
out the word and make up an application requesting qualifications.

Council Member Nunn recommended a date be set for the initial committee to elect a
chair, and maybe make a parade committee.
Council McPartlan suggested letting the annual festivals, such as the ShrimpFest, know
that the 100"' year anniversary is coming up so they can help us make the year -long
celebration successful.
It was the consensus of Council to have the City Manager reach out to interested
individuals to hold an initial planning meeting.

22.053 A. 2022 City of Sebastian Community EnRaaement Survey
The City Manager advised that a survey would be mailed out to 1,500 residents to see
what they would like to see changed or focused on in the City. He asked that the
recipients fill out the survey and return it to help with the City's strategic plan and budget
process.
In regard to the Crab E Bill's structural inspection, he said eight or nine openings were
made from the walls to the outside. There were some significant things found and some
things that were not as bad as originally thought. He said he expected the report to be
completed soon.
He said the Stormwater Master Plan consultant has been gathering data throughout the
City to include 4,000 points of interest such as culvert crossings, culvert pipe sizes, road
elevations and now they will start on the modeling process to show where the water
should be going and where it is impeded. Once the modeling is completed, that will
indicate what capital projects will be needed. The last phase will be the search for
additional funding opportunities.
The City Manager said the builder was on track with the new Public Works Facility and it
should be completed by the end of May.

With regard to the Community Engagement Survey, Council Member McPartlan said he
liked the question "Where do you receive information from?" which will help target how
we get the word out.

Council Meetina Date: March 23, 2022
Agenda Item Title: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan
for FY 2020/2021 Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolution No.
R-22-10
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan for FY 2020/2021 through the
adoption of Resolution No. R-22-10
Backaround: On November 10, 2020, the City of Sebastian received notification
of Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 allocations for the CDBG program through the Office of Community
Planning and Development (CPD) formula programs in the amount of $127,095. The allocated
funding was incorporated into the established programs which included the Sidewalk
RepairlReplacement on N. Central Avenue and the Home Repair/Rehabilitation program for
Veterans, Elderly and the Disabled. The City of Sebastian adopted Resolution No. R-20-25 on
October 14, 2020 approving the CDBG 2020/2021 Annual Action Plan prepared pursuant to all
requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 2020 and 2021
the City of Sebastian received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) CV1 funding in
the amount of $74,778.00 and CV3 funding in the amount of $91,600.00, for a cumulative
amount for all allocation rounds of $166,378.00 authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Public Law 116-136. On July 14, 2021, the City of
Sebastian adopted Resolution R-21-11, amending the CDBG Annual Action Plan for 2020/2021,
effectively repealing R-20-16 and accepting the CARES Act funding. The City of Sebastian was
required to amend the 2020/2021 Action Plans in order to use these funds as part of a HUD
approved project list. Fallowing numerous attempts to determine appropriate projects for the
approved funds based on the availability of opportunities and resources within the community,
the City of Sebastian has decided to forgo the additional funds provided as part of the CDBG
CV1 and CV3 funding authorization. HUD requires receipt of the 2020 Action Plan as a
replacement for the Amended Action Plans.
ACTION PLAN FOR 202012021:
Community Development Block Grant $127,095
PROPOSED ALLOCATIONS
Sidewalk Repair/Replacement ADA CRA $50,000.00
Home Repair Program for Veterans, Elderly and Disabled $51,676.00
Administration $25,419.00
HUD allows up to 20% for administration costs for the program. The estimated amount to
benefit low- and moderate -income persons for the CDBG Program is 80%. Funds not dispersed
within the annual allocation must be spent within three (3) years.
The City expects no displacement of families, individuals, or businesses to occur as a result of
the activities. Should displacement occur as a result of any project or activity, the City will follow
the regulations of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act
of 1970, as amended. The Action Plan has been developed using an estimate of the amount of
2020 CDBG entitlement funding that the City anticipates receiving from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Funding amount revisions will be madSgt8f9-T
activities in the Action Plan should the exact amount of funding awarded by HUD differ from thus
estimate. Priority activities will remain the same regardless of the amount of funding received
from HUD. The City will adhere to the Citizen Participation Plan amendment requirements if an
activity will be added to or cancelled from the Action Plan. The City may also use
unprogrammed CDBG monies to fund 2020 CDBG activities as needed or/or until the 2020
funds are made available from HUD.
There were no comments presented to the Community Development Department in regards to
the allocation of funds during the 30 day commenting period.
Resolution No. R-22-10 provides for rescinding Resolutions R-20-16 and R-21-11; the
approval of the 2020/2021 Annual Action Plan; and authorizes the City Manager to execute and
transmit all required documents to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
