Ms. Coy asked if there was any way funds can be set aside for miscellaneous items
such as this.
The City Manager said Council could probably take a little bit off the Indian River
Drive/Main Street Project.
Mr. Neglia said if the City were to this, could the City be reimbursed for the boats that
are removed.
The City Attorney said at the end of the year, if you haven't spent the money you have to
give the money back or allocate it to a similar project, for example, the gateway project
could changed but the project still has to be a part of the Sebastian Boulevard.
On MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Paternoster, $20,000 from the Indian
River Drive/Main Street Project was moved to unappropriated reserves on a roll call vote
of 5-0.
Mr. Paternoster requested revisiting the Fine Arts Festival contract and adding funds
back into the CRA budget in the amount of $3600 for advertising. Ms. Coy said she
would support looking into this and adding the funding back in.
Mayor Burkeen asked if this was a CRA budget item and the City Manager thought it
was. Mayor Burkeen said he supported using CRA funds for the expense.
The City attorney said it would be legitimate as a CRA expense because the festivals
initiated a community feeling, drawing citizens together for an event.
Mr. Neglia suggested putting aside $4,000 for Art festival and $16,000 for debris
removal.
Mr. McCollum said he would agree if it were CRA funded.
On a MOTION by Ms. Coy with a SECOND by Mr. Paternoster, the Board approved
moving $20,000 from the Indian River Drive/Main Street line to the unappropriated line in
the CRA budget.
On MOTION by Mr. McCollum, and SECOND by Mr. Neglia, CRA Resolution No. 06-01
was adopted as amended on a roll call vote of 5-0.
Ms. Coy expressed interest in using the gateway monies for tree planting along the
Sebastian Blvd. corridor
Mr. Gilliams requested a detailed operating expense of future City sponsored festivals.
6. Being no further business, Mayor Burkeen adjourned the Community Redevelopment
Meeting at 6:23 p.m.
Approved at the December 13th, 2006 meeting.
