Discretionary Sales
Transaction Process
Tax Revenue Bond Rating and
As you will recall, Director of Finance Mark Mason and I accompanied Jeff
Larson and Bill Spivey of Kirkpatrick Pettis to New York City for the purpose
of meeting with three rating agencies and four bond insurers to obtain an
underlying bond rating and insurance rate quotes for bond insurance and
surety. Surety will serve as insurance for the revenue bond reserve, which
would allow the City of Sebastian to retain additional funds for capital
improvements. I am pleased to report that both the bond and the project
were well received by the bond insurers and rating agencies. This bodes
well for the City of Sebastian to obtain both a favorable underlying rating and
insurance quotes. More specific details of success regarding this
transaction process will therefore be offered publicly during next week's City
Council meeting.
Sebastian Panthers Fundraisin.q Efforts
During the past several weeks, I have hosted meetings with representatives
of the Sebastian Panthers Youth Football Program relative to the necessity
of continuing good relations with the City of Sebastian in providing
respective athletic development opportunities for young people in the
community. A primary issue addressed during these discussions is creative
fundraising opportunities to help defray expenses associated with
administering the program. As referenced in the attached letter, a formal
request is being made to my office to allow team sponsors to advertise at
the Barber Street Sports Complex Football Field during the season (typically
between the months of August and December). As referenced in the
aforementioned contract with Sebastian Panthers, Inc., Section 8(e) (Page
7) installation and/or maintenance of commercial or private advertising signs
City Council Information Letter
March 21, 2003
Page 2
is prohibited. Interestingly, an addendum to this agreement as authorized by
the Sebastian City Council in June 1997 modifies requirements of this
provision in that the Office of the City Manager may permit scoreboard
advertisements (except for tobacco and alcohol product marketing
activities). However, the desire at this time is to also feature other ads, as
the consensus of Sebastian Panthers officials is that more sponsorship will
result, and therefore increasing program funding accordingly. I anticipate
scheduling a presentation regarding this matter during a regular City Council
meeting prior to the 2003 season, as more direction will be required publicly
prior to honoring such a request. Meanwhile, the lease agreement,
including the 1997 addendum is being included for your review and further
edification.
Clearing Activities for Park Development
As staff from the Department of Public Works was successful in clearing
recently acquired property to accommodate outdoor recreation expansion
activities south of Riverview Park, please be advised that crews are once
again being assembled to initiate clearing and grubbing activities to prepare
for other park development activities citywide. Such work is therefore
anticipated to begin within the next couple weeks in the rear of the Barber
Street Sport Complex to accommodate an additional parking (tree buffered)
area, as well as passive neighborhood parks at BarbedGeorge and Filbert
Street. The Department of Engineering has concluded that the City of
Sebastian will enjoy significant construction cost savings as a result of
prepping land as described, prior to directing contractors to commence with
improvements. As previously reported, recommendations to commission
construction firms will soon be offered publicly.
Minor Modifications - United States Highway One
Earlier this week, officials representing the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) met with staff from the Departments of Engineering
and Public Works to discuss initiation of minor infrastructure modifications
along United States Highway One. As referenced in the attached electronic
mail message from Director of Public Works Terry Hill, Ranger Construction
will initiate tasks on behalf of FDOT to incorporate an additional turning lane

in the vicinity of Sebastian Boulevard (County Road 512). Work is
therefore anticipated to be completed in the coming days, with only minimal
disruption to traffic flow is expected.

As you know, the Sebastian Panthers is a youth Football and Cheerleading organization located on
property located on Barber Street at the :~ c0mplex. The City of Sebastian holds the lease
agreement with us until the year 2005.
In the lease agreement, there was an addendum m~ade dated the 1 i'~ day of June 1997.
In the addendunh mentioned above, include no signage on the
property with the exception I noticed that a sentence
r ' ce
stated (and I quote an exce pt f I may).., ex Pt that, with the consent of the City Manager .... ".
Sir, I am writing to see if l may convince-you to consent to yet another change.
In the past few years, we have found it
items needed to
deliver
of funds. We are seekinc
difficult to raise funds for the equipment and
the season. Last year, we were unable to

~ It 'will add to the safety of the children by prohibiting vehicles and other motorized items such
from entering onto the field unless in an emergency and the children inside the
would not be able to enter a busy roadway.
And of course the least, but not unimportant, the health of the grass on the field. (It does need
time to rejuvenate.)
For me, as the Public Relations Officer, I think the best result of this would be for the children to see
that their community is behind them and would like to see them succeed. They will know this by seeing
those familiar names around them.
Mr. Moore, we would so greatly appreciate it if you would perhaps reconsider the addendum
referenced and allow us a fence to attract the sponsorship we so desperately need.

Parks Projects Utilizing Public Works Crews
Terrence --
Further to our conversation earlier this morning, we are moving ahead with the utilization of Public Works crews to start
land clearing and grading for the parks on George Street and Filbert Street. As outlined in the attached memo, this
approach can save the City considerable time and money and allow more funds to be allocated to parks equipment and
features.
We are also moving ahead in the same manner with the auxiliary parking at the Barber Steet Sports Complex. There we
are waiting for our SJRWMD permit before doing the clearing and grading. See attached memo for further details.
