The plan has been used by Vero Beach Police Department for more than 5 years and has saved them thousands of dollars as well as experiencing performance levels above their original expectations. Veto Beach PD has been buying 2-year-old Mercury Marquis' that have approximately 30,000 miles on the odometer for $15,000 or less. Their theory is that the vehicles are originally purchased by senior citizens, well equipped, garaged and well maintained with the service records available fi.om the local dealership. The entire Veto Beach Police Administrative Staff are now driving Mercury Marquis', some of them near 90,000 miles on the odometer and still in good shape. It was decided at the budgeting process to budget $60,000 for replacement of 4 administrative vehicles with the purchase of used Mercury's in an attempt to reduce capital costs. The following information describes 4 vehicles that we have recommended for purchase: #1 2001 Mercury Sable (2,500 miles) warranty till 05/30/04 or 36,000 Less trade-in of 1998 Ford Taurus Total $ 9,997 $1,200 $ 8,797 #2 2001 Mercury Marquis (12,943 miles) warranty till 10/01/04 or 36,000 Less trade-in of 1998 Chev.

' MUNICIPAL AIRPORT City of Sebastian, Florida Subject: Change Order #1 to Jobear/Warden Contract, and Award Asphalt Paving to Dickerson Florida for Road and Water Improvements at Sebastian Municipal Airport. Approved for Submittal by: Terrence Moore, City Manager Agenda No. 0~. /t,.~ Department Origin: Airp_o. rt. Dept. Head: ~~') ~en::;a~ S ervice~.~ ~~~ Date Submitted: ~9/30/2003 For Agenda of: 10/08/03 Exhibits: (3) - Change Request from Jobear/Warden, Asphalt Deduction letter from Jobear/Warden, and pavement proposal from Dickerson Florida, Inc. EXPENDITURE AMOUNT BUDGETED: IAPPROPRIATION REQUIRED: $11,851.50 $27,076.00 I REQUIRED: $ n/a SUMMARY In July of this year, the City of Sebastian entered into a contract with Jobear/Warden Construction for roadway and water utility improvements at Sebastian Municipal Airport. As anticipated and budgeted for, a few changes are necessary in order to complete the project in compliance with both Indian River County Utilities and St. John's River Water Management District. An explanation of the changes is provided below, and specific technical information can be found on the attached Change Request. Water Changes: Based on our pre-work meeting with the Indian River County Utilities Department, some design changes were necessary. These were mostly technical in nature and resulted in an increase of $1,320. Earthwork Changes: As suspected and budgeted for, the required excavation quantities were found to be far greater than what was listed in the original bid. Anticipating this, staff was able make an arrangement with the contractor to have additional excavated material stored on-site, rather than have them truck it off-site. This resulted in a 50°,/0 reduction in the unit cost for excavation. In addition, this same excavated material will be used at the new T-hangar site, saving the City future dollars in purchasing fill (as required in our agreement with Sheltair). The net result of this change is an addition of $26,013. Pavement Changes: Based on the unit prices submitted with Jobear/Warden's bid ($60/ton), staff realized that there may be a significant savings if Jobear/Warden would allow us to delete the asphalt from the bid and have Dickerson do that portion of the work under Indian River County's previous contract price ($38.41/ton for the West side work and $51.86/ton for the East). Both parties agreed and staff is pleased to announce a net savings of $16,406.50 for this item. Capping of existing well: During the clearing phase of this project, a capped flow well was discovered in the right- of-way of the road. Due to its location, it needs to be cut below the swale line and recapped. The net result of this change is an addition of $450.00. Water Service Revision: Based on the requirement of a fire suppression system at Sebastian Aero Services, it has been determined that the planned one inch service line will be insufficient and a four inch service is necessary to provide the appropriate amount of water flow to the fire sprinkler system. This resulted in a net increase of $475.00. In total, the above changes result in an overall increase of $11,851.50. As described above, the majority of these were anticipated and budgeted for. Even with the addition of the above figure, the project remains under budget. In addition, 80% of this amount ($9,481.20) will be funded by FDOT and the remaining 20% ($2,370.30) will come from airport revenues. Airport staff will be present at the October 8, 2003, regularly scheduled meeting, should you have any questions or concerns.

City of Sebastian, Florida Agenda No. i~)3, C/'7 t~ Department Origin: Finance Date Submitted: October 2, 2003 For Agenda off October 8, 2003 Exhibits: Resolution R-03-45 Regarding Reimbursement of Certain Costs Relating to the Acquisition and Construction of Certain Capital Improvements Involving Stormwater Utilities. · Memo and Summary of Financial Options from Kirkpatrick Pettis. EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: AMOUNT BUDGETED: N/A N/A APPROPRIATION REQU/RED: N/A SUMMARY Staff has prepared the enclosed resolution authorizing the financing for Stormwater improvements in accordance to the Stormwater Master Plan which will include various capital improvements for which financing will need to be procured. The source of revenue, the Stormwater Utility Fee, is anticipated to provide approximately $20,000,000 over a twenty-five year period starting fiscal year 2003-2004 that will be used to provide the debt service on the financing. The amount of $6,400,000 is an upper level estimate only and does not necessarily mean this is the amount of the financing that will be initially done. The structure of the debt, the interest rate and the term of debt will be the deciding factor on the amount that can be borrowed. As can be seen from the enclosed summary of financial options, the twenty-five year method may be the most appropriate however staff will continue to review options with Kirkpatrick Pettis to shorten the term of the debt as we get closer to pricing the bonds. The resolution is the initial step of this process, with any final detail to be decided by the Council. The projected average Stormwater Utility revenue is approximately $820,000 per year for the next 25 years. From the list of capital improvements contained in the Stormwater Master Plan, it would take several years to accumulate the funding necessary to construct each improvement on a pay-as-you-go plan. With financing in place, several of the more necessary improvements can be completed in a timely manner. Staff feels this is the best solution to fund the necessary improvements listed in the Stormwater Master Plan in as timely a fashion as possible to rectify some of the more glaring Stormwater problem areas within the City. RECOMMENDED ACTION Move to approve Resolution R-03-45. RESOLUTION NO. R-03-45 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, REGARDING INCURRENCE OF DEBT AND REIMBURSEMENT OF CERTAIN COSTS RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN CAPITAL IMPROVE~NTS INVOLVING STORMWATER UTILITIES; PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City of Sebastian, Florida (the "City") has incurred and will incur various costs in relation to the construction of certain capital improvements involving the Sebastian Stormwater Utility; and WHEREAS, the City has determined it is in the best interest to reimburse such costs from proceeds of tax-exempt debt; and WHEREAS, the United States Department of Treasury has issued various regulations in regard to reimbursement of governmental charges through the issuance of tax-exempt debt, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, as follows: Section 1. It is the intent of the City to reimburse various costs and expenditures relating to the construction of certain capital improvements involving the Sebastian Stormwater Utility. The City has paid for, and/or reasonably anticipates that it will pay for, such costs and expenditures from available moneys of the City. It is reasonably expected that, and it is hereby authorized that, reimbursement of such costs and expenditures shall come from the issuance of tax-exempt debt which is not expected to exceed $6,400,000 aggregate principal amount. It is currently the intention of the City to principally secure such tax-exempt debt by a pledge of and lien upon proceeds of the Sebastian Stormwater Utility Fee that was imposed by City Ordinance O-01-16 on September 26, 2001. The expenditures to be reimbursed shall be consistent with the City's budgetary and financial policy as being the type of expenditures that shall be paid on a long-term basis. Section 2.

CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA ATTEST: By: Mayor Walter Barnes Sally A. Maio, CMC City Clerk Approved as to form and legality for reliance by the City of Sebastian only: Rich Stringer, City Attorney KIRKPATRICK PETTIS A Mutual of Omaha Company 3504 Lake Lynda Drive, Suite 155 Orlando, Florida 32817 Tel: 407-482-2327 Fax: 407-482-8223 MEMORANDUM - VIA EMAIL TO: Mr. Terrence Moore, City Manager - City of Sebastian, Florida Ms. Shai Francis, Finance Director- City of Sebastian, Florida Ms. Debbie Krueger, Deputy Finance Director - City of Sebastian, Florida FROM: Jeff Larson - Senior Vice President/Regional Manager Bill Spivey - Investment Banker DATE: October 2, 2003 City of Sebastian, Florida - Stormwater Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 As a follow-up to the meeting held yesterday at the office ofNabors, Giblin &.Nickerson, this memo will outline our understanding of the initial project fund and cash flow component and our corresponding recommendations regarding the bond structure. Assuming a Surety approval and current rates plus 50 b.p. to be conservative, annual debt service is around $400,000 on a 25-year basis. Therefore, it appears we will be able to scale a shorter bond term as we approach pricing. A. PROJECT FUND The projects associated with the Stormwater Master Plan (SMP) produced by Camp, Dresser, & McKee, Inc. (CDM) can be divided into three (3) major categories: 1) Ditches / Culverts / Ponds, 2) Canals / Seawalls, and 3) Curb & Gutter System. As outlined by George Nickerson, the basic financing question with regard to these categories is whether the project component proVides a specific benefit to a portion of the City (subject to assessments) or would be better covered under the Series 2003 issue. The City has indicated that the first phase of the SMP'will concentrate on non-assessable projects listed below: CDM 1st Phase Estimate ' $ Plus Collier Creek Canal Dredging (est. 40%) $ Plus Collier Creek Canal Seawall demolition (est.) $ Plus Collier Creek Canal Seawall construction (est.) $ Less removal of Potomac Ditch Project $ Miscellaneous $ TOTAL PROJECT FUND 4,423,000.00 800,000.00 400,000.00 240,000.00 (546,000.00) 83,000.00 $ 5,400,000.00 According to the attached Table 5-1, Recommended Improvement Summary in the SMP, CDM has listed their recommendation for the first phase totaling approximately $4,423,000. The Collier Creek Waterway Canal project (north of Sebastian Blvd/CR 512) was identified as an amendment to the SMP with an estimated cost of approximately $2,000,000, with dredging estimated at 40% of that amount. As a note, seawall construction totaled $800,000. Only 30% ($240,000) of the amount was classified as non-assessable. The Potomac Ditch Project was removed and will be funded by the currently unencumbered Stormwater Fees collected to date. B. ANNUAL BASE CASH FLOW BUDGET Gross Revenues (annual) Operation and Maintenance (20%) Debt Service (not to exceed) NET REVENUES $ 720,000.00 $ (144,000.00) $ (450,000.00) $ 126,000.00 The annual fees totaled approximately $720,000. This fee is collected under the uniform method for collection of non-ad valorem assessments via the tax rolls and has been collected for the past two years. Assuming 20% for O&M, the recommended maximum amount of debt as a not-to- exceed amount of $450,000 was also discussed. The remaining amount will be used as cash available for matching grants or other pay-as-you-go projects. Since this will be a closed-loop system, these net revenues will not be transferable outside the Stormwater Utility System. Stormwater Fee collected to date (apprx.) $ Potomac Ditch Project $ Stormwater Reserve Fund $ NET FUNDS $ 1,494,745.00 (546,000.00) (450,000.00) 498,745.00 Since the implementation of the Stormwater Utility Fee collection, approximately $1,494,745 has been received. The Stormwater Reserve Fund is explained below. C. RECOMMENDED BOND STRUCTURING The following items have been structured specifically to meet the needs of the City. 1. Debt Service Reserve Fund (DSRF): Typically the amount is equal to the Maximum Annual Debt Service (MADS), but in order to reduce the par amount and debt service, we will seek approval from the bond insurers and rating agencies for a Debt Service Reserve Surety Bond. 2. Stormwater Reserve Fund: Additional cushion as stated above in case of a shortfall in funds to pay debt. We suggest $450,000 be initially deposited at closing. 3. Covenant to Budget and Appropriate (CB&A): Since the fee collection has only 2 years of history, a CB&A will be used should there be any draw on the Surety. Surety is drawn only if the Stormwater Reserve Fund is not available. (See attached CB&A Debt Capacity Analysis) 4. Release mechanism for CB&A: Once fee collections have achieved a 1.5X debt coverage over a period of two years, the Finance Director can verify the coverage and initiate the release via a Resolution from Bond Counsel with a copy supplied to the rating agencies and selected bond insurers by Kirkpatrick Pettis. 5. Rate Covenant: This covenant will be set at 1.35X debt coverage and stipulate a mandatory rate increase should fees collected fall below this threshold. (Subject to bond insurer). 6. Additional Bonds Test (ABT): The ability to utilize the fees collected to fund additional bonds is determined by the ABT. Initial calculations provide debt coverage of approximately 1.60X. (720,000 / 450,000 = 1.60X) against a recommended ABT of 1.35X. With the short turn around to get documents out quickly, please review this memo and let us know of any changes or corrections at your earliest convenience.

As part of its attempts to satisfy the constitutional amendment requiring transfer of financial responsibility for the court system from the local level to the state level, numerous "user fee" revenue sources were implemented. The one at issue here requires payment of a filing fee of $200 ifa city wants to take a .municipal code violation to court. While this is a very bad policy, it will not have much ~mpact on our City. The judiciary here has expressed great reluctance to spending its time on such matters, and ultimately it has very little additional impact in achieving enforcement, so we do not seek enforcement in that manner. As I read it, a party wishing to appeal one of our citations to the court will be required to pay the fee as well - not us. 05.2O5" September 10, 2003 David Hooker 4680 South Peninsula Drive Ponce Inlet, Florida 32127 ,~EOEIVED r; I 'T' ',,; L,,,, OF SEBASTIAN , r' l~,.,F_.

As you may already be aware the state legislative has passed 1-t13113A, which directly impacts municipal code enforcement and ordinance violation prosecutions. The bill is very large, comprehensive bill relating to funding the states court system and importantly, is not effective until July 1, 2004. F.A.C.E., Florida League of Cities, Florida League of Counties, and other entities haVe expressed concerns with this bill including a $200 fee requirement when filing a county of municipal ordinance violation in court. Because this bill wilI not take effect until next year, legislators have expressed a willingness to review and possibly address local government concerns. F.A.C.E. is taking a leading roll on the repeal of this bill. The information that we are requesting from each County and City, is the number of citations, arrest and if possible types (such as animal control or solid waste violations) going before a judge for hearing for any county or municipal code violations. Please forward all information back to my office at the address listed above or e-mall them to me a dhooker@ponce-inlet.org. We would like to have all the information no later than October 1, 2004.

The purpose of the strategy session was to begin the development of a marketing communications plan to market the approximately 160 acres of land located on the City of Sebastian's Sebastian Municipal Airport. See Appendix for strategy session outline. "The marketing communications plan includes an in-depth analysis of the product, specific marketing communications strategies, and a tactical plan to convert the strategies into specific actionable items targeted at achieving the stated goals, including approximate budgets.

The City will review its Mission Statement annually and measure its progress periodically based on completion of specific goals set forth in the annual budgeting process. The final measure of success will be realization of the City of Sebastian's mission. HI. Background The City of Sebastian is located at the northern most point of Indian River County. The City's northern boundry is the St. Sebastian River and its eastern boundary is the Indian .o River Lagoon, part of the Indian River and intra-coastal waterway. The City of Sebastian's history dates back to the 1880s beginning as a fishing settlement. In 1903 President Roosevelt proclaimed Pelican Island, in the Indian River Lagoon, America' s first National Wildlife Refuge. The City was first incorporated as the Town of Sebastian in 1924. In the late 1950s General Development Corporation purchased the land from the Mackle family of Miami and began the development of a planned community that is now the City of Sebastian. The City of Sebastian owns and operates a general aviation airport located within the city limits. Sebastian Municipal Airport was built in 1943 by the Navy as a satellite field for naval flight training. In January of 1959 the airport was transferred to the City of Sebastian as part of the Surplus PrOperty Act of 1944 with the provision that it be used solely for aviation purposes. The airport is situated on 625 acres and consists of 2 runways; runway 4 - 22, 4,024' long and 100' wide, and runway 13 - 31,4021' long and 150' wide. There is a third runway, 9-27, which is currently closed. There are no published instrument approaches available to pilots so activities are limited to visual flight rules. In 1981 the Sebastian Municipal Golf Course was built on 155 acres of airport land. Along with the golf course, there are several aviation related businesses located on airport property. Current tenants of Sebastian Municipal Airport are: Aerotrace Aircraft Maintenance " J&S Aviation Full Service Fixed Base Operator Flight Training Aircraft Maintenance Sebastian Aero Services Fixed Base Operator Aircraft Repair Painting Charter and Instruction Sebastian Municipal Golf Course An 18-hole golf course with pro shop, dining, and professional golf instructors located on 155 acres of airport property Skydive Sebastian Complete skydive facility including jump aircraft, equipment store, restaurant, and jump training facilities VelocitT,.Inc.. Manufacturer of Velocity Aircraft Composite Kit Aircraft Manufacturer Sales of VelocitY' Aircraft Kits Velocity Service Center Velocity Flight Transition Training PLANNED Holland-Sheltair T-Hangars scheduled to be complete in December of 2003 Orange Peel Enterprises, Inc. dba Greens+ The 1993 Airport Master Plan called for the closing of runway 13-31 and the reopening of runway 9-27 for the purpose of noise abatement with the goal of achieving compatibility between the airport and neighboring community. This alternative was never enacted due to cost constraints. The closing of runway 13-31 and the reopening of runway 9-27 have now become very attractive to the City of Sebastian for several reasons: 1) The approach end of runway 31 and the departure end of runway 13 necessitate low- level flight over more densely populated residential areas of Sebastian. The projected increase in aviation activities at the airport will have a negative effect on the relationship between the airport and area residents. The closing of runway 13-31 and the opening of runway 9-27 will result in low-level aviation activities occurring over more sparsely populated areas of the City. 2) As identified in the 2002 Airport Master Plan Update, runway 13-31 is in need of major repairs. There are cracks up to 1/2" wide observed on the surface, allowing moisture to infiltrate into the substructuremfurther deteriorating the runway. Grass .:. is growing 'in the cracks adding to the perceptions of extensive deterioration. Multiple depressed areas on the runway surface allow water to accumulate causing hazardous conditions for aircraft. Therefore,. runway 13-31 requires extensive rehabilitation or reconstruction. 3) Again, as identified in the 2002 Airport Master Plan Update, the City of Sebastian is approaching a point where little additional land is available within the City limits (except on the airport property) for industrial development. By closing runway 13- 31 and reopening runway 9-27, an additional 100 acres would be available for development for aviation and non-aviation industrial/commercial purposes. 4) The current condition of runway 9-27 is no better or worse than that the current condition of 13-31; therefore, the cost to reopen and rehab 9-27 would be about the same as to rehab runway 13-31. The new configuration would significantly simplify the taxiway system, thereby lowering overall costs and aiding in noise abatement. By closing runway 13-31 and reopening runway 9-27 the City of Sebastian has a total of approximately 160 acres of developable land for mixed aviation and non-aviation use. The City of Sebastian is planning to develop the 160 acres providing roads, power, and whatever necessary for potential tenants. Florida Power and Light does not provide three-phase power service to the airport property. Currently, there is no City or County water or sewer service available to the airport. Water is provided by wells on the airport property, and individual septic systems handle wastewater. The City of Sebastian is currently bringing water to the west side of the airport, water and sewer to the east side of the airport, and underground three-phase power service to both the east and west sides of the airport. Completion dates are anticipated to be about five to six months for water to the west side, 4 to 12 months for three-phase power available to the west side, and 8 to 12 months for water, sewer, and three-phase power to the east side of the airport. IV. City of Sebastian Objectives and Goals One of the most significant elements of the marketing communications plan is the establishment of objectives and goals. Again, it is important to make the distinction between an objective an~t a goal. An objective is a broad aim or desirable end, which is seldom achieved in its totality. A goal is an objective that has been made specific as to time and degree resulting in the basis for measurement. Objective 1. Secure substantive yet well-managed industrial and commercial growth on the developable land at the Sebastian Municipal Airport by 2006. Goals 1. Create X number of new jobs directly related to the developable land at Sebastian Municipal Airport by 2006. 2. Develop X number of acres of the developable land at Sebastian Municipal Airport by 2006. 3. Attract X number of business relocations, expansions, or start ups, measured by new business licenses issued, to the developable land at Sebastian Municipal Airport by 2006. 4. Attract one (1) "World Class" FBO to Sebastian Municipal Airport by 2006. 5. Increase the total accessed value of the developable land at Sebastian Municipal Airport by SX by 2006. V. Product Definition Prior to the development of a marketing communications plan for the City of Sebastian and the Sebastian Municipal Airport (Airport), one must have a clear understanding of what precisely we are selling to our customer, and what the customer is purchasing when he or she leases property on the Airport. When one refers, to the customer, in this instance, we are referring to a business relocating, expanding or starting a commercial operation. Understanding that people don't buy actual things, people buy hopeful expectations - solutions to problems. From the buyers view, a product is a cluster of value expectations. Our customer is buying (leasing) a promise of satisfaction. During the strategic planning session, the group was tasked to closely define the product from the aspect of the seller and the buyer. What is the City of Sebastian actually selling (leasing) to the customer/buyer and what is the customer/buyer actually purchasing? The group agreed on the following items from the viewpoint of the buyer and the seller. Product Definition With respect to the Sebastian Municipal Airport as a product, the group was tasked to closely define the product from the aspect of the seller and the buyer. What is Sebastian Selling? 1. Growth Opportunity The City of Sebastian has undergone significant growth in the last ten years with new businesses and residents relocating to the city. This above average growth pattern is projected to continue in the foreseeable future. There is an opportunity for businesses to "get in on the ground floor" and grow with the City. Reportedly, thirty new houses are constructed each month in the City of Sebastian. 10 2. Life Style The City of Sebastian is located on a triangular section of land formed by the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Sebastian River. The City maintains a flavor of old Florida with a slightly slower and less hectic lifestyle than other Florida east coast areas providing spectacular vistas to the east across Indian River Lagoon and to the north and northwest across the St. Sebastian River. 3. Interstate Access For a business, whether relocating, expanding or just starting operations, access to a transportation network is essential for moving raw materials, finished goods and accessing a qualified workforce. The City is adjacent to Interstate 95 providing access to all points on the eastern seaboard from Miami to Maine and, on a more local basis, providing access to commercial air, rail and sea transportation hubs. 4. Low Land Costs The land offered for lease on the Sebastian Municipal Airport is considered to be undervalued as compared to other leasable land in similar municipalities in the state. The lease rate is approximately $. 10 per square foot. This is considered to be a significant benefit to attracting businesses to the area. 5. Business Friendly Local Government The City of Sebastian, along with the federal and state government, is investing a significant amount of funds to redesign and improve the municipal airport. City government is committed to making it as attractive as possible for a business to relocate, expand or startup in the City of Sebastian by making the land area usable and providing infrastructure like roads, sewer and water. 11 6. Relocation Incentives The City Management is considering several incentive packages to lure business to Sebastian. These incentive packages may include some or all of the items listed below: " · Up to 30-year lease term. · Competitive lease rates ($0.10/square foot/year) as compared to other, similar local airports · Deferred lease payment until Certificate of Occupancy · Partnerships on available grant opportunities · Utilities provided to property line · City permitting fees waived 7. Available Land After the completion of the short-term capital improvement program, there will be approximately 160 acres of land available for lease. The land is expected to be available in two parcels, a 17-acre parcel located in the southeast quadrant of the airport property and a 143-acre parcel located in the northwest quadrant of the airport. Planned capital improvements include access roads, water lines, sewer lines, taxiways, parking for aircraft, aircraft hangars, runway rehabilitation, along with airport management and support facilities. 12 8. Workforce Available The City of Sebastian is located at the northeast central portion of Indian River County between Melbourne and Veto Beach. The City of Melbourne, Florida, "'located approximately 20 miles north of Sebastian via 1-95, has a number of high- tech industries including Harris Corporation and Motorola. A few miles further north on 1-95 is the Cocoa/Titusville area known as the Space Coast--home of NASA--and a number of aerospace support industries. Employees of these companies are available to businesses locating at the Sebastian Municipal Airport. Historically, workers employed in these areas are accustomed to commuting the distances required to work at businesses located at the Sebastian Municipal Airport. 9. Educated/Trained Workforce The geographical area of the state in which the City of Sebastian is located consists of a number Of high-tech industries including NASA'and various aerospace industry related businesses. This attracts a workforce with higher than average education and technical skills to the vicinity. 10. Excellent School System The City of Sebastian hosts six public schools--all part of the Indian River County School District: Pelican Island Elementary School Grades: PK through 5~ Total Students: 736 Student/Teacher Ratio: 16.0 2003 Grade, School Accountability Report: A 2002 Grade, School Accountability Report: A 13 Sebastian Elementary School Grades: PK through 5 Total Students: 697 Student/Teacher Ratio: 16.2 2003 Grade, School Accountability Report: A 2002 Grade, School Accountability Report: B Sebastian Junior High Charter* School Grades: 6,7, 8 Total Students: 85 Student/Teacher Ratio: N/A 2003 Grade, School Accountability Report: C 2002 Grade, School Accountability Report: N/A Sebastian River Middle School Grades: 6,7,8 Total Students: 1,178 Student/Teacher Ratio: 21.8 2003 Grade, School Accountability Report: A 2002 Grade, School Accountability Report: B Sebastian River Senior High School Grades: 9, 10, 11, and 12 Total Students: 1,609 Student/Teacher Ratio: 21.2 2003 Grade, School Accountability Report: C 2002 Grade, School Accountability Report: C 14 Wabasso School (Special Education School) Grades: PK through 12 Total Students: 49 Student/Teacher Ratio: 4.9 2003 Grade, School Accountability Report: N/A '2002 Grade, School Accountability Report: N/A * Charter Schools In Florida Charter schools are public schools of choice. They are among the fastest growing school choice options in Florida. Charter schools are largely free to innovate and often provide more effective programs and choice to underserved groups of students. From 1996 to 2002, Florida charter schools have grown from 5 to 222. The enrollment for 2002 surpasses the 50,000-student mark. Within the United States there are in excess of 2,000 charter schools with enrollment in excess of 500,000 students. Charter schools are flexible and have freedom to set their own rules on such issues as curriculum, teaching style, personnel, and discipline. Operated by parents, teachers, administrators and concerned citizens, a charter school can offer a student-directed learning environment or alternative programs that meet the needs of students. Funding for charter schools comes from the state, with a portion of the money allotted per student by the State Legislature and by the local district. Students must fulfill State requirements and pass statewide exams, however charter schools offer students higher standards and more "hands-on" environment for teaching and learning. 11.

Lack of High Technology Workers/Low Level Workforce The local workforce is considered to have low-tech skills; however, a high-tech workforce is available 30 minutes north in Melbourne, FL. . No Deep Water Port The closest commercial port is the Port of Palm Beach, in Rivera Beach, FL, approximately 2 hours south of the City of Sebastian. The Port of Palm Beach is the fourth busiest container port in Florida and the eighteenth busiest in the continental United States. In addition to intermodal capacity, the port is a major nodal point for the shipment of bulk sugar, molasses, cement, utility fuels, water, produce and breakbulk items. 33 , 5, Vessel entrance is through an inlet channel 300 feet wide with no aerial obstructions leading into Lake Worth. Berthing is a short 20 minutes from first seabuoy to anchorage with operating drafts of minus 32 feet mean low water (MLW). The largest vessels capable of through-putting via the port's "dog leg" channel are those up to 700 feet length overall. A swing (turning) basin measuring 1,100 feet by 1,400 feet provides a safety margin for cruise and cargo vessels at minus 32 feet MLW draft. The port has three slips, four marginal wharves and two ro/ro ramps for a total of 5,200 linear feet of berthing space. The Florida East Coast Railway Company (FEC) services the docks and piers through the port's industrial rail switching operations. A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ #135) has been in operations since 1987. It encompasses several port and private.sector sites. There is one privately-owned general purpose warehouse in Boca Raton, four privately-owned warehouse sites in Martin County (near Stewart International Airport), the Port of Palm Beach Cold Storage terminal, and one 18,000 sq. ft. warehouse with five adjacent unimproved acres is located at the Port Executive Plaza. Currently Substandard Airport Facilities Significant upgrades to the airport facilities are scheduled to be completed by August 2004.

The Port of Palm Beach is the only port facility in South Florida operating a rail system with pier-side box, hopper and intermodal cars operating 24 hours a day. Located on Port property are six miles of trackage for intermodal transfers and handling. Limited Industrial Land The City of Sebastian has limited industrial land for development. The 160 acres on the Sebastian Municipal Airport represents the largest tract available. 36 o Perceived Lack of Infrastructure The perceived lack of infrastructure relates to the Sebastian Municipal Airport regarding services available to tenants. This perception will be alleviated once the airport renovations are completed. · . Lack of Awareness Due primarily to the absence of marketing, there is currently a lack of awareness with regards to opportunities available to industrial and commercial business within the City of Sebastian and the Sebastian Municipal Airport. . No Instrument Approaches to Airport Precision and non-precision instrument approaches to airports allow commercial and business aircraft to terminate at a specific airport when the airport is experiencing instrument metrological condition. The absence of instrument approaches greatly limits the commercial and business traffic at Sebastian Municipal Airport. .. 10. 4000' Runways Runway lengths, widths and pavement strength limit the types of aircraft that can safely utilize the airport. After completion of the airport development plan, the Sebastian Municipal Airport will remain limited to operations of "small aircraft with 10 passenger seats or less." The runway pavement strengths exclude commercial charter and jet operations. 37 11. No Scheduled Commercial Air Service Currently, Sebastian Municipal Airport offers no scheduled commercial air service. The closest regional scheduled commercial air service is at Melbourne International Airport approximately 30 minutes north of Sebastian and the closest national and international scheduled air service is located at Orlando International Airport approximately one hour northwest of Sebastian. 12. No Downtown Business District The City of Sebastian does not have a traditional "downtown" business district; however, the Riverfront area (US-1 and Indian River Drive) is reported to be evolving into the City's main business district. Through public-private partnerships, the Riverfront area and other areas of the City are undergoing commercial development. 13. Major Access Roads through Residential Areas The major access road from 1-95 into the City of Sebastian is CR 512, which terminates at the Riverfront business district. Branching off from CR 512 is CR 510. CR 510 proceeds east just south of the City terminating in Wabasso just south of the City and CR 505. CR505 runs north along the western edge of the City and the Airport terminating in Roseland, FL, just north of the City. Both CR 505 and CR 512 pass through residential areas. 38 XI. Threats o Economy The health and vitality of the overall economy directly affects the success of the marketing effort to lease the Airport's property. As the economy continues to strengthen, business relocation activities and inquiries Will naturally increase. A continued sluggish economy will slow relocation activities. . Local Community Local residents appear to be extremely vocal about changes to the area. There is some concern that the local residents may resent certain types of businesses locating to the City for a number of reasons including the "not in my backyard" syndrome along with the resistance to growth and change. A concern is the primary road system that runs through residential areas of Sebastian. These roads would be the primary means for ingress and egress for industry located at the Airport. ge Change of Life in Sebastian Historically, individuals and families moved to the City of Sebastian for the "old Florida" atmosphere. The growth and changes to the area have already engendered negative feedback from segments of the community. The inevitable growth of the Sebastian area and the addition of businesses and industry to the airport will certainly havemto a degreema negative affect on the perceived way of life in Sebastian. , Global Affairs The sluggish economy and the threat of renewed terrorist strikes have a significant short-term impact on the success of the Sebastian Municipal Airport strategic marketing communications plan in the sense of the length of time it will take to achieve the stated goals for leasing the property. Long-term however, this should not be an issue. The property location and infrastructure is ideal for locating targeted businesses and industry to the area. 39 . Competitive Response Historically, the City of Sebastian has been silent with respect to marketing to business and industry for commercial relocations. As soon as Sebastian begins to market the Airport, one should expect an increase in marketing efforts from competitive cities like Vero Beach, Palm Bay, Stuai't, Melbourne, Kissimmee and surrounding counties including Sebastian' s own Indian River County. 4O XII. Opportunities Growth The City of Sebastian is poised for growth. A business locating to Sebastian will be in on the "ground floor" with respect to growing with the City. The annual growth rate in Indian River County is projected to be 1.9 % versus the State of Florida annual growth rate projection of 1.6%.' The City of Sebastian is growing at the rate of approximately 30 new houses per month. . Grant Opportunities There are grant opportunities available through the FAA and the Florida Department of Transportation Aviation Division. A new tenant, Holland/Sheltair has recently begun taking advantage of the grant opportunities through FDOT Aviation Division. o Ecotourism Growth Travel behavior has changed, and according to experts, people are more interested in historical, cultural and nature-related experiences. Ecotourism is not just a marketing catch-phrase. It is a term used to describe ethical tourism that focuses on appreciation and preservation of a specific area's flora, fauna, ecosystems and culture. The basic idea behind ecotourism is that visitors to an area can contribute to the environment and support the people who live in that environment. If the local people can make a living from ecotourism, then there is less need for more industrial/commercial industries in that location. 41 . o . Groups embracing ecotourism are growing at an astonishing rate, and the financial impact of these environmentally conscious groups is gaining momentum. A group known as LOHAS, Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, is responsible for a $226.8 billion United States marketpl.~ce for goods and services that appeals to consumers who value health, the environment,, social justice, personal development and sustainable living. Pelican Island, the St. Sebastian River, and the Indian River Lagoon are excellent attributes for promoting ecotourism. Recent National Exposure-Pelican Island In March 2003 the City of Sebastian received national exposure with the 100th Anniversary of the country's first wildlife refuge, Pelican Island. The opportunity exists to continue to build awareness about the City of Sebastian using the established awareness of Pelican Island. Waterfront Community The City of Sebastian is located on the banks of the Indian River Lagoon to the east and the St. Sebastian River to the north and northwest. The Indian River Lagoon is protected by a string of barrier islands, but there is direct access to the Atlantic Ocean through the Sebastian Inlet. A myriad of activities are available from sport fishing, sailing, bird watching to water sports. The location of Sebastian is a definite draw to business owners and employees considering locating to the Sebastian Municipal Airport. Unique Community In one of the fastest growing states in the country, the City of Sebastian is definitely unique. Sebastian is a city that managed to hold on to the slower pace and relaxed atmosphere that one would expect from a Florida coastal city of the past. Even with its proximity to 1-95 and US-1, Sebastian has retained its small town character and charm of a waterfront community. 42 o Positive Growth/Change In General Aviation Prior to September 11,2001, the general aviation (GA) industry was experiencing a slow but steady increase in sales and pilots trained. Despite the recent sluggish economy and 9/11, the GA industry remains viable. There are a number of innovative GA programs on the drawing board. One such program is the Small Aircraft Transportation System Program (SATS~). The SATS program is designed to incorporate all federal airports, which includes Sebastian Municipal Airport, in an innovative transportation system. The vision for SATS is to provide the nation with an alternative to existing road and airline choices for travel. The SATS technologies enable entrepreneurs in the transportation industry to create access to more destinations in less transit time. More than 98 percent of the U.S. population currently lives within a 30-minute drive of over 5,000 public-use landing facilities. This infrastructure is an untapped national resource for national mobility. As a result, NASA has set the goal of "reducing pfiblic travel times by half in 10 years and two-thirds in 25 years." Furthermore, this travel alternative must be cost-competitive with existing choices and meet the public expectations for safety and accessibility. The early consumers of SATS would have access to fractional or air-taxi-like systems with hired pilot operations. SATS technology development is intended to enable affordability of on-demand services to even the smallest of markets. Scheduled services may also appear in more dense transportation markets as entrepreneurs discover effective ways to meet market demands. NASA envisions that the SATS technologies will enable an advanced generation of "smart" aircraft and "smart airports." These technologies will be designed to enable access to virtually any runway end or helipad in the nation in aircraft that have jet performance at propeller-like prices. Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). See http://sats.nasa.gov/. 43 The SATS program is just one vision that has the potential to revitalize the country's general aviation airports and promote the growth of general aviation. 44 XIII.

Research In order to develop a creative approach, it is recommended that focus group research be conducted with area businesses with an emphasis on real estate agents. The research will help develop the messaging required to market the City of Sebastian and the Sebastian Municipal Airport. 48 XVII. Public Relations Plan Innovative public relations strategies are key components of successful integrated MAR- COM programs. There is a direct correlation between the effectiveness of the public relations strategies'and the success of meeting and exceeding objectives and goals. Because public relation strategies are inherently designed to create an advantageous and long-lasting impression with target external audiences, they also inadvertently serve to sway the mindset of the internal organization and Prompt the stakeholders to "buy into" the desirability and advantages of the City. This charming representation becomes one of the benefits of living and doing business there, and the advantages are exaggerated exponentially. This public relations campaign is designed to produce measurable changes in people's attitudes, top-of-mind awareness, and even preference. As marketing/communication influ, ences mind-share, it sets the stage for increasing market share. Public Relations Patterson/Bach will execute a public relations strategy for the City of Sebastian by disseminating key messages to the identified target audiences. The campaign will be multi- faceted and based on the pre-determined goals and objectives contained herein. The public relations audience will include but will not be limited to all prospective industry leaders, business owners, and key players in the aviation field as well as other fields that will aid in the economic growth of Sebastian. 49 Media Relations For media relations, the agency researches, develops and coordinates story placement with appropriate outlets, editors, and influentials with proactive editorial pitching to local, regional and national media, as well as industry trade media. Patterson/Bach works with the various media on an ongoing basis to take advantage of any special/beneficial programming, promotional activities or feature stories pertinent to the City of Sebastian, and in particular, the airport's activities and events. We continually review and/or seek out additional public relations opportunities. Community Relations The agency can coordinate the detailed process of planning and executing public events, promotions and sponsorships. Patterson/Bach recommends creating a plan for each event, which details all steps needed to bring the event together in terms of objective, budget, theme, promotion, collateral materials, staffing and support. Internal Relations The agency will provide on-going direction for City employees by creating and maintaining secondary public relations operations that serve to foster and facilitate the. goals and overall objective for their respective Departments and the City. For this component, the internal stakeholders will become ambassadors of the strategic plan. 50 RECOMMENDATIONS: Public Relations The agency will create all press documentation, including press releases, feature articles and case studies; prepare and distribute press kits and all press material to key media and influentials; and build strategies and manage community relations' campaigns. The agency will coordinate tours of the City Sebastian to prospective industry leaders, business owners, and other VIPs as well as produce publications and materials to be distributed to such groups as needed to reiterate the strategies outlined by this plan. Media Relations The agency will identify and communicate specific stories to targeted media to ensure continued press coverage and Continued positive discussion about the features .,and benefits of the City of Sebastian. In the course of the continued barrage of press releases, interviews, and media kits, Patterson/Bach will further enhance the image conveyed by distilling important messages down to two or three things that the City would want people to readily remember. Patterson/Bach will develop and nurture relationships with the local media, including one- on-one meetings, if needed; to roll out a new service or event offered by the City. The agency will encourage the media to attend demonstrations, City functions, and community events. Also, Patterson/Bach will work with internal staff to include the strategic plan in daily activities that the local media can exploit and then take to the national level. Patterson/Bach will use creative approaches to hook City of Sebastian qualities and/or services to current industry trends. For example, strategic messages about the Sebastian Airport will be tailored to fit the overall landscape of the aviation industry, and media attention will be focused on highlighting those specific qualities. 51 Community Relations In the course of executing an orchestrated public relations campaign, the community will not only be a beneficiary but also a vital tool for attracting new business. Patterson/Bach realizes the need for large and small-scale events that will enhance the public's perception of the community, the media's perception of the community and Potentially the new customers' perception. Many underestimate the importance of flawless event planning. Just as the public can be swayed to "buy into" a concept or idea, a poorly planned community event will serve exactly the opposite outcome. Patterson/Bach's experience in community relations will ensure that events, promotions, and sponsorships convey only top-notch, highly professional affairs that will lead to an increased demand for City sponsored events and anticipation for the next City function. Internal Relations Plans will introduce employees to more customer service oriented approaches when dealing with residents, businesses and prospective residents and businesses. Newly created brochures, annual reports, and other publications will reeducate long-time residents about the advantages and benefits of living and doing business in the City, and offer current Sebastian businesses the opportunity for joint public relations operations. 52 XVIII. Web Strategy Overall Web Recommendations · One of the most important components of the overall marketing plan will be the City' s Web site. This will be the first impression business owners will have of your community and the opportunities you offer a relocating business. Organizations, including municipalities, are judged by their Web sites. Our recommendation is to re-design the existing Web site with updated technology, a user-friendly navigation, resourceful content and creative messaging/design that more accurately tells the story of the City of Sebastian. We use the following guidelines to determine when a Web site is in need of a makeover. We have found that all ten apply to www.cityofsebastian.com. The site constantly needs updating. It's overloaded and difficult to navigate. It seems cluttered with too many banners and links. It's not meeting expectations in terms of new and repeat visitors. There are potential new uses for the site. The City can benefit from new streamlined technology to improve efficiency and save time and money. The original site was built around the internal needs of the City instead of the needs of the user. You're launching a new product/service or campaign and expect increased traffic to your site. It has not been recently optimized for search engine placement with meta tags and strategic keyword placement. The look or design of the site is not consistent with your other marketing materials. 53 Online Marketing Search Engine Optimization Search engines are invaluable tools for reaching your target market and, therefore, should play a critical role in your long-term marketing and advertising strategies. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of submission, registration, positioning, monitoring and maintenance. It involves much more than submitting your Web site to search engines one time. SEO is done during the process of re-designing a Web site. This is because search engines base their rankings on many factors including content and technology. And, because they frequently change their submission requirements, it requires continual monitoring and submission. Search'engine success depends upon the following mix: Before the site is launched: Creating relevant content. Strategically place keywords in content. Include META tags, which provide a title, description and keywords for search engines. Include SEO tags (HTML) to take advantage of the search engines' reliance of the contents of these tags. After the site is launched: Submit! Most traffic comes from the top ten to fifteen major search engines each having different submission requirements. Search engines are increasingly relying on a new measurement called link popularity to help identify the most relevant web pages. On-going/monthly position monitoring and re-submission of the Web site to ensure "survival" in search engines' databases. 54 O' 0 Overture/Bidding on Relevant Keywords OvertureTM generates high-quality search results by enabling advertisers to bid for placement based on relevant keywords. This allows businesses to reach potential customers at the very time they are searching for products and services. These results appear at the top of major search engines (Yahoo! MSN, Lycos, Altavista, Netscape) as sponsored matches. How It Works We bid on a relevant keyword for each click through. For example, the City may place a bid that it will pay .20 cents per click through for "business relocation." The higher the bid, the higher the site appears in the OvertureTM search results (the sponsor match). "Premium Listings," the top three OvertureTM results, provides exposure to 85% of all active Internet users by listing your site on leading search engines. Following is a list of top (relevant) keyword searches in June 2003: Keywords Number of Searches Business relocation 1,389 Sebastian Florida 3,353 Vero Beach 8,266 One item to note is that www.verobeach.com comes up as the sponsored match when using the keywords "Sebastian Florida." Pinellas County (www.siliconbay.org) is currently the sponsored match when using the keywords "Business Relocation Florida." 55 XIX. Creative Approach The creative approach will be developed after the completion of the focus group research. The creative will reinforce the appropriate themes outlined in the City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan.' 56 XX. Appendix 57 Appendix A.
