As the Planning and Zoning Commission recently approved the necessary
design-build site planning governing the construction of the Sebastian
Airport Administration Building, please be advised that arrangements are

Plans are also being made to host a groundbreaking ceremony, tentatively
scheduled to take place Tuesday, June 29th. I anticipate being able to
inform you as to exact time and other logistics arrangements involving the
event in the coming days. Meanwhile, any of you may also feel free to
therefore provide any ideas that you may have as to how to make the
ceremony as eventful and memorable as possible.
Initiation of Louisiana Avenue Revitalization Pro.qram
Earlier this week, my office hosted a meeting involving various staff member
and representatives from both city commissioned grant administration
consulting firm Jordan and Associations and WCG NeeI-Schaffer Engineers
to discuss initiation and implementation of the Louisiana Avenue
Neighborhood Revitalization Program. I am pleased to report that the City
of Sebastian was provided direction via this discussion (and update to the
State of Florida's Community Development Block Grant administrative
authority, the Department of Community Affairs) to proceed with the
necessary selection process to commission a contractor to assist with
construction activities accordingly. As referenced in the Louisiana Avenue
Project Update synopsis as faxed by Jordan and Associations after the

aforementioned discussion, we currently anticipate advertising this project
beginning circa June 15th so as to administer a respective bid opening in
mid July. This schedule would enable staff to offer applicable
recommendations to City Council in late July and/or early August. If
construction contract(s) are approved, a formal Notice to Proceed is to be
issued by late August.
Architectural Renderin.qs for Various Park Projects
As City Council recently authorized a continuing services contract with
Dean-Donadio and Associates for architectural services governing future
City of Sebastian projects and programs, please be advised that staff is
currently working to assign compilation of conceptual design and drawings
to feature and showcase potential improvements to Riverview Park South,
Bryant Court Park and Easy Street Park. Once completed, renderings will
be utilized in respective contractodconstruction firm selection processes as
the basis for scope of improvements. However, prior to engaging this
exercise, presentations to both City Council and the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee will be offered in an effort to provide public updates, as
well as to secure formal direction to proceed accordingly and/or make
adjustments to plans as deemed appropriate. Respective recommendations
and other updates regarding these services will therefore be offered in the
coming weeks.
Old Snowshoe House Relocation Pro.qram
As a location has been selected for the future site of the Old Snowshoe
House, please be advised that staff from both the Building Department and
the Parks and Recreation Division of the Department of Public Works will
administer respective relocation activities to take place in the coming weeks.
This exercise will involve selection of a structure-moving agent, staking and
outlining the specific site in Riverview Park South for positioning the
building, acceptance and approval of ownership transfer agreement, as well
as applicable expenditure authorizations for City Council consideration for
authorization. Current property owner David Brown has been very well
advised as to the status of progress accordingly, as he is also being most
cooperative with the City of Sebastian in this regard.

been submitted and we are awaiting respective responses. A construction trailer is being moved into the site tomorrow

As always, I'll be keeping you informed of the progress of this important undertaking as milestones are reached and/or
