Chuck Neuberger ~' // ] Mayor 3 City of Sebastian, Florida 1225 Main Street [] Sebastian, Florida 32958 Telephone {561) 589-5330 [] Fax (561) 589-5570 MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor and City Council From: Terrence Moore, City Manager Date: September 9, 1999 Subject: Good Guys Property Over the past two days, I have been working diligently to establish necessary groundwork to begin arrangements to acquire the Good Guys, Inc. property, for purposes of expanding River-view Park. You will recall the City of Sebastian's efforts to procure ancillary funding via the State of Florida Communities Trust Preservation 2000 Program' (P2000). A grant application was submitted last spring in effort to acquire not only the Good Guys, Inc. 2.25- acre parcel, but the adjacent 2-acre land as well, for a 4.25-acre expansion to Riverview Park. I received word today from the State of Flodda that the City of Sebastian's proposed land acquisition of both aforementioned parcels was ruled ineligible for numerous reasons. Ms. A~y Adams, the consultant who was retained by the City of Sebastian to compile the initial proposal has provided me with a report explaining the various reasons why land acquisition financing is not possible via P2000 funds. As such, I would like to have the City Council consider authorizing an acquisition financing plan to acquire the Good Guys, Inc. property (per the Option to Purchase Agreement as authorized last month), utilizing 1999 Discretionary Sales Tax revenue; the recently awarded $100,000 Flodda Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) grant for this project; the $200,000 pledge from Indian River County; Fiscal Year 2000 Discretionary Sales Tax funds (included in the current proposed Fiscal Year 2000 budget); and budget savings from this prior Fiscal Year (an additional $200,000 expense to the City of Sebastian toward acquisition). I asked Director of Finance Mark Mason to compile the attached analysis, which illustrates the funding scheme I wish to formally recommend for adoption. Keep in mind that the one additional proposed expenditure is to be financed by 1998/99 budget savings (projects performed this year actually yielded costs less than originally anticipated and budgeted). In addition, this arrangement will enable the City of Sebastian to honor its matching contribution requirements as set forth by Indian River County and FRDAP. As always, please feel free to contact me at anytime, should you have questions and/or _ require.additional information to warrant further consideration of this proposed action.

On. Tuesday, Growth Ivianagement Director Tracy Hass faxed me the results of the project's evaluation provided by FCT staff for our grant application. After reviewing the evaluation results and speaking with Mr. Hass, I spoke with FCT staff evaluation coordinator Ed Eekste.in. Together, Mr. Eekstein and I reviewed the three areas where we lost points in the grant application. The three areas include: (1) inability to qualify as a site of "state interest or concern," as the site is not located iii a greenway, listed on the state's list of Areas of Critical Concern or located in the Eastward Ho[ Corridor ~- all areas of top priority for FCT and DCA; (2) the site was not considered "imperiled" as it contains no listed, endangered or threatened ,qpeeies or native vegetative communities: and (3) the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies cited for various application answers lacked the detail desired by FCT staff. For this last area Mr. Eelmtein suggested City staff incorporate changes to strengthen the City' Comprehensive Plan for future grant application submittals. Mr. Ecl{stein explained that though the City submitted a strong application, its chances for
