Specific features include plans for light industrial building types as well as retail and office uses for future facilities. Such planning dynamics are to be considered during the proposed moratorium period as recently presented by City Attorney Rich Stringer. Other recommendations are to follow, including the possibility of establishing a Community Redevelopment Agency to help fund planning and improvements in the area. Next Phase of Street Resurfacin,q Program As mentioned during Wednesday evening's meeting, please be advised that the next phase of the Sebastian Street Resurfacing Program will begin during the week of May 6th. Attached is a memorandum as compiled and delivered by Director of Public Works Terr7 Hill that outlines streets to benefit from the program, including Sebastian Boulevard between United States Highway One and Indian River Drive. This particular phase of the program represents finalization of Ranger Construction's existing contractual obligation (first authorized in September 1999). As such, arrangements will be made to solicit bids to continue the program, commensurate with the Fiscal Year 2002/2003 budget process. Opportunities for Additional ParkinR at the Barber Street Sports Complex A presentation is being scheduled to take place during your May 8th meeting to provide an overview of options for consideration to expand parking opportunities at the Barber Street Sports Complex (BSSC). As referenced City Council Information Letter April 26, 2002 Page 2 in the attached drawings and aerials as compiled by the Department of Engineering, proposals will include angled parking dynamics to accommodate Tulip Drive, as well as a tree buffered grass parking lot to possibly be constructed on the city-owned parcel located in the rear of BSSC on Fairfield Lane. Of course, I hope to receive some direction as to how staff is to proceed in this regard. Fortunately, it appears that area residents support such plans, as concerns about additional facility construction on the aforementioned property would be alleviated. Hopefully, a positive response from the audience will be the result. Radio Station Sponsorship - Independence Day Celebration Earlier this week, I met with Mr. Wayne Dillon, Management Consultant for Sebastian's local radio station, WINT 95.9 FM The Point, relative to a commitment offered to both the Lion's Club and the City of Sebastian to contribute air time to help promote this year's Independence Day celebration. This arrangement was established as a result of initiating this year's fundraising campaign. WINT will broadcast public service announcements beginning in May to help advertise the event, as well as to produce three minute long public affairs programming segments, to include remarks from city officials and representatives from the Lion's Club, in an effort to provide open commentary about the prosperity of the event as well as anticipated goals. Mayor Barnes and Lion's Club representative Jerry Osmundson will likely serve in this capacity. The three minute feature is anticipated is to be transmitted throughout the month of June. WINT will also host a booth during July 4th festivities, as well as to provide live broadcasting during morning hours.
