The purpose of the meeting is to approve a resolution, from the governing body, issuing authority to the City Manager to apply for said grant. This is a typical grant requirement. This issue is separate from the resolution Council approved on Wednesday, November 12, 2008. That resolution was in support of the Fisherman's Landing Sebastian, Inc. (FLS) SMWWG. Based on discussion at that meeting and subsequent request(s) from Council Members, I have prepared alternate grant applications for Council consideration. Each of these grant applications is substantially complete. They still need some minor editing and backup documentation compilation, but are in a form that Council can approve core grant concepts and costs. Please note the project summaries for main concepts. The grant deadline is Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at 5:00 PM. With that being stated, the Council has two grants pending consideration. First, City staff has prepared a grant that is ancillary to the FLS grant entitled "Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative". This grant proposes to purchase Hurricane Harbor and Sebastian Entertainment Center. While, the FLS grant is separate and seeks land acquisition funds to serve as the actual working waterfront, the City's application would provide ancillary fishery services that allow public access to learn and experience one of Florida's important economic staples - fisheries. Through acquiring other land adjacent to the proposed FLS properties, the "Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative" seeks areas to provide additional parking, commercial pier space, and various facilities for historic preservation, eco-tourism and culinary institutes. The basic concept is to create a Sebastian working waterfront destination. Ultimately this destination draws visitors to Sebastian and generates commerce, which are the building blocks to promote the goals of the CRA District. The second grant, for consideration by Council is for the purchase of Flagship Marina. This grant is entitled "Sebastian Riverview Park Marina". It seeks many of the same situational circumstances as the other grant. For example, purchasing this facility provides opportunity for a location for historic fishing preservation, eco-tourism and specific education about the fishing industry. For the City, it also provides a vital missing link to the Riverview Park that can promote fishing during many of the community's festivals, such as the clambake. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Obviously, the financial implications vary greatly based on Council action. To provide grant matches, the City seeks to maximize its resources without draining funds for future projects. Hence, the best available sources are the CRA Fund and the Recreation Impact Fee Fund. For the "Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative" grant, a 25% match is sought for a total of 5 grant points. Note, no match is required for grant submission; but providing a match increases likelihood of funding. However, the City has worked with County officials to put together a total match of 1,000,00 - ($250,000 City; $750,000 County). At the time of this writing it is uncertain whether the County will provide financial support. In this fashion, the action plan should be that the City provide up to $250,000 from the CRA and modify the grant accordingly based on Indian River County. For the "Sebastian Riverview Park Marina" grant, County participation will not be received. This increases the financial impact to the City because to receive the same grant points a 25% match of $675,000 is required. Hence, to finance this match the recommendation would be $371,000 from CRA and $304,000 from Recreation Impact fees. If both grants are submitted, approximately $925,000 is required ($250,000 for Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative and $675,000 for Sebastian Riverview Park Marina). This action can be funded via the CRA and Recreation Impact Fees in these amounts -CRA $371,000 and Recreation $554,000. Currently the FY 09 CRA budget has an unallocated amount of $370,992. In addition, just under $1,000,000 of Recreation Impact Fees is available. Another question presented that has financial implications is the effect of removing property from the tax rolls. These levels are low enough not to have major implication on the General and CRA Funds. Further, the benefits of the potential growth affects from government ownership far out weigh the concern of lost tax revenue. Below is a chart, which shows rough estimates for these scenarios. PARCEL 2001 TOTAL TAX 2008 TOTAL TAX CITY (19.5%) GENERAL FUHU CRA 'Sebastian Entertainment $1,456 $13,D97 $2,554 $284 $2,270 :Hurricane Harbor $16,926 $41,940 $8,178 $3,301 $4,878 'TOTAL FLS GRAHT $18,382 $55,037 $10,732 $3,584 $7,148 Flagship $17,043 $20,940 $4,083 $3,323 $760 ;TOTAL PARCELS $35,425 $75,977 $14,818 $8,908 $7,908 CITY MANAGER COMMENT As stated in the memo of November 12, 2008, only approximately $7 million in state funding is available; making competition stout. While the Sebastian Riverview Park Marina fits into the definition of a working waterfront, it is missing the key ingredient of the actual working waterfront. Moreover, seeking two grants in a limited competitive fund, without multi jurisdictional support, will demonstrate an un-unified vision coming from the City. This message, I fear, will eliminate both grants from competition. Therefore, because the Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative SWMMG more closely matches the grant program, it is this grant that should be supported by Council. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council submit the "Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative" SMWWG application aimed at supporting the Fisherman's Landing Sebastian application with multi jurisdictional support and allocating up to $250,000 from the CRA for a grant match.

Commercial fishing has been subject to many hardships over the past decade, including natural disasters like back to back hurricane season and legislative impacts like net fishing ban and other restrictions. Commercial fisherman utilize the City's two public boat ramps, however, many docks have been lost of the years. Luckily, fish are plentiful largely thanks to the Indian River Lagoon and its prominence as a national estuary. In addition to the commercial docks and expanded aquaculture facilities, the local commercial fishing will have a facility to sell their fish. Further economic benefit will be derived from the eco-tourism facility operating environmentally focused and educational boat tours. All of the businesses along the Riverfront and Sebastian's business corridor (US 1) have the opportunity to benefit from the increased traffic of day-trippers coming to the waterfront collaborative. This plan also has the potential to have opportunity for the City by bringing residents and visitors alike to the waterfront, and that increases all other economic development opportunities for job creation, food and beverage sales, retail and hotel/motel. "A rising fide raises all ships". The State, through the Cultural Council, estimate that a "day-tripper" spends anywhere from $71-$77 per person per day. Day trippers are visitors to the area that may come for an event (i.e. a festival) or simply come to dine at a local restaurant. If an overnight stay is included this figure becomes $135-$156 per person per day. (b) The Project Site is located in a municipality or in the unincorporated county with a growth rate that exceeds the average growth rate for the state, as shown by population increase since the last census (10 points); YES X NO Form SMWW-1, City of Sebastian -Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative Page 7 If yes, provide documentation from the FCT web site showing that the Project Site is in an area that exceeds the average growth rate for the state, as shown by population increase since the last census. Was the documentation provided in the grant application? YES _X_, Documented in Exhibit NO If documentation is not provided, no points will be awarded (c) The Project Site has sustained hurricane damage in the past 5 years such that operating capacity was reduced or normal operations were interrupted for a period of not less than two weeks {5 points). YES _X_ NO If yes, provide documentation showing that the Project Site has sustained significanf hurricane damage in the past 5 years, including identifying the hurricane and provide a state or federal document verifying that the project site sustained significant hurricane damage such as a copy of the Department of Environmental Protection's Emergency Authorization for the repair of the docking facility. Both Hurricane Harbor and Sebastian Entertainment suffered damages in the hurricane season of 200. Hurricane Harbor had damage, including a boat that landed in the dining room.. The original structure on the Sebastian Entertainment project site was demolished and plans were made for a new facility to be built that opened in the Spring of 2008. Was the documentation provided in the grant application? YES _X_, Documented in Exhibit NO If documentation is not provided, no points will be awarded (3) Site Suitability/Readiness (a) The Project Site contains. existing structures that can be used or require only minor improvements, for use as commercial saltwater fisheries or aquaculture operations (points may be awarded based on the following criteria): (1) Docking facility for commercial fishing vessels'(12 points); YES _X_ NO If yes, describe the existing facility, condition of the existing structure and proposed uses for the docking facility.

Form SMWW-1, City of Sebastian -Sebastian Working Waterfront Collaborative Page 14 PROJECT SUMMARY The Sebastian Waterfront Collaborative represents apublic/private joint effort. All levels of government (City, County, State) will be working with anon-profit organization -Fisherman's Landing Sebastian, Inc. to rejuvenate the commercial fishing industry in Sebastian and provide a destination for waterfront and fishing enthusiasts. The vision of the Waterfront Collaborative is to link together several key parcels on the Indian River Lagoon in an effort to educate the public about the commercial fishing heritage of Sebastian through aretail/wholesale seafood house, exhibitions, demonstrations, educational venues and civic events. The sites in this application will help create a destination for promoting one of Florida's primary and historic economic industries -fishing. With this concept, the City not only meets the goals of the Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Program but also supports economic redevelopment efforts within the Sebastian Community Redevelopment district. Currently, both the Sebastian Entertainment and Hurricane Harbor sites are vacant and underutilized. By using CRA funds to match with the FCT/SMWWP grant funds, the City has the opportunity to use redevelopment funds for their primary purpose - generating new tax bases, and bolstering the local economy through retail, food, beverage and hotel/motel sales and, most importantly, job creation. Ecotourism and Indian River Lagoon Starting with the northernmost parcel, Sebastian Entertainment, the collaborative envisions this facility, with fully permitted commercial dock, to be utilized for ecotourism., The City will solicit for a charter boat operator who will operate boat tours accentuating the intrinsic value of the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary as well as the nation's first wildlife sanctuary -Pelican Isle. Inside the building include artifacts and exhibits of Sebastian's fishing heritage and a focus on how environmental stewardship can assist and augment the commercial fishing industry in the future. History, Education and Civic Events Next, the Hurricane Harbor site is comprised of 5 parcels. This facility is immediately adjacent to Offshore Marina, the Fisherman's Landing Sebastian Inc project site. -This facility will. showcase Sebastian's Commercial fishing heritage. When Flagler brought the rail line all along Florida's coast, the long distance transportation of locally caught seafood - a perishable product became possible'."' Thanks to ice and barrels, manufactured in Sebastian, an estimated 103,890 pounds of fish were shipped in 1895. By partnering with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services the City will acquire the parcel to be run as a retail fish market, offering locally caught species, daily catch specials, recipes, locally produced products. An on site culinary school will offer recipes featuring locally caught seafood, as well as cooking demonstrations and training for restaurant/hospitality industry jobs. Further, because of the size of the facility, a slew of higher educational offerings could occur at this location. Through existing relationships with Indian River State College and Florida Atlantic University an on-site aquaculture curriculum can be accomplished. These two facilities will work in partnership with the Fisherman's Landing Sebastian project - a true working waterfront commercial marina offering dockage to commercial fishers, a fish house for processing the daily catch for shipping and an aquaculture operation. Their grant application is being submitted separately. The commercial fishing industry, the heritage of Sebastian, Ecotourism and more all come together at Sebastian's Waterfront Collaborative by creating facilities for the public that provide education and economic opportunities showcasing Florida's fishing industry.

Form SMWW-1 (Effective ) Page 13 PROJECT SUMMARY The Sebastian Riverview Park Marina represents an effort to educate the public about the commercial fishing industry in Sebastian by purchasing a facility that can host exhibitions, demonstrations, educational venues and civic events. These activities are aimed at creating a destination for waterfront and fishing enthusiasts. The vision of the Sebastian Riverview Park Marina links together several parcels currently owned by the City of Sebastian (locally know as Riverview Park) in order to promote one of Florida's primary and historic economic staples -fishing. The concept also looks to educate the public about the preservation of the Indian River Lagoon. By establishing this concept, the City not only meets the goals of the Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Program; but, also bolsters the economic vitality of the Community by using Sebastian Community Redevelopment District's incremental revenue to generate opportunities for job creation; food, beverage, retail and hotel/motel sales. ECOTOURISM With the purchase of the of Flagship Marina, located at 806 Indian River Drive, a collaborative effort with local commercial fishermen can be established to foster ecotourism. The City will solicit for a charter boat operator who will operate boat tours accentuating the intrinsic value of the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary as well as the nation's first wildlife sanctuary -Pelican Isle. Inside the existing building include artifacts and exhibits of Sebastian's fishing heritage and a focus on how environmental stewardship can assist and augment the commercial fishing industry in the future. HISTORY The existing facility can also host a location for a historic fishermen's museum. By forming a partnership with the local historic society, a place to store and display information and relics from Sebastian's fishing heritage. Artifacts may include old barrels, fishing apparatus, boat equipment (like anchors), and photographs from the historical society. Public access to the site is achieved through on site parking. Outside kiosks that are weather resistant will be utilized in addition to internal exhibits. EDUCATION Because of the size of the facility, a slew of educational topics can occur at this location. Through existing relationships with Indian River State College an on-site aquaculture curriculum can be accomplished. Further, with the assistance of the Florida Department of Agriculture, the facility has a commercial kitchen facility which can be host for a retail fish market or culinary school that provide information to the public about daily catch special, recipes, healthy food choices and advice on obtaining locally produced products. CIVIC EVENTS A further benefit to this location is the link that the site has with proximity to the City of Sebastian's Riverview Park. This is approximately a 10-acre outdoor recreational facility adjacent to the Indian River Lagoon. The park hosts' community fishing piers, splash pad, playground, veteran's memorials, walking trails, open areas and recreational boat ramps. With this parcel all these activities can be combined. Also, with annual events such as the Sebastian Clambake, local fishermen join together to boast and share in Sebastian Heritage. The event is based on one of the greatest Spanish shipwrecks caused by a hurricane in 1715, which occurred due east of Sebastian's Riverview Park in the Atlantic Ocean. Having the Flagship Marina location will provide additional benefits for these types of civic activities that are rooted in the ideas of the Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Grant program.
