The Growth Management Director said the City received five applications and staff was
ready to move forward with two for Board recommendation which included Jerry Smith Tile
and Sebastian Antiques. She said the grant committee met several times to work with
each of the applicants finessing their designs; the grants would reimburse 80% of the
applicant's cost.
She said Jerry Smith was unable to be attend; but Mr. Mrs. Cormier were present for any
questions; in addition to Grant Review Committee Member, Donna Keys.
MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Hill to approve grant awards to Jerry Smith
Flooring Design Center and Sebastian Antiques: A Better Consignment.
There was no public input.
Ms. Coy thanked the applicants and the board members who worked very hard to come up
with some nice designs.
Mr. Hill seconded Ms. Coy's comments and congratulated Council for starting the
program back up. He said they are replacing the exact signs that need to be replaced
and the community will benefit for years to come.
Mayor Gillmor concurred, saying this is one giant step for the small businessman.
Ms. Keys said she agreed with everyone and this is a governmental project that is a win
win situation.
Mr. Wright asked Ms. Keys if the other three applicants gave a time frame for coming
back.
Ms. Keys said Southern Sisters were working on it, Maxwell Plumbing is half -way done,
and Tropical Smoothie has the concept and is working with someone on the design.
Mr. Wolff cited the recommended signs on circle page seven and nine and asked if
there was any stipulation that the money will be used for these specific signs or was the
applicant allowed to use one of the other designs in the packet.
The Growth Management Director said the depicted signs on circle seven and nine will
be funded by the grant and if they come up with something different than the drawings
their permits won't be approved.
Mr. Wolff asked if the Consignment Shop has the ability to add to the sign such as the
little sign currently displayed, "We buy gold." The Growth Management Director said the
panel is fixed but they could use an "A" frame sign, banner, or other vehicles to display
that signage.
2
Mr. Wolff asked if 50% of the grants are coming from Indian River County, so everyone
pays into the grant. The City Manager replied no, only the district pays into the
increment.
Mr. Wolff expressed concern that maybe in the future there could be some type of period
that one is in business before one qualifies for assistance, citing the Keg Shack which is no
longer in business. He congratulated the two recipients and said we look forward to the
new signage.
Result of the roll call vote:
AYES: All

CRA AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
SUMMARY
The City of Sebastian (CRA) has applied for and was awarded a Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Grant
SMWWG). In order to help prepare and plan for this project and future expenses, the City Council
adopted a Working Waterfront Committee. The Working Waterfront Committee has discussed this project
in great detail. Concurrently, the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) has been working to appraise,
purchase and close a sale for two properties along the riverfront.
The original grant sought to purchase the parcel commonly knownas the Hurricane Harbor Restaurant.
The purpose of this acquisition is to provide a micro incubator for businesses that will support commercial
fishing. Such business enterprises would include retail fish market, ice deport, waterfront touring
museum and a place to conduct eco -tours centering on the importance and history of the Indian River
Lagoon and commercial fishing. In researching this market plan, RFPs were submitted to solicit business
interest. Only one business responded. While the response was discouraging, in subsequent public
meetings it became clear that commercial fishing businesses were interested in the micro incubator
concept, but would only invest in such venture if a working waterfront was secured next to Hurricane
Harbor. An offer for the Hurricane Harbor was made by FCT in an amount of $2.3 million, which was the
appraised value. The purchase is now set to close on or before June 1, 2010.
Sebastian Entertainment Center was also sought in the original SMWWG proposal. After appraisals were
returned, FCT made a purchase offer of $750,000, but the offer was rejected. As a result, the City began
investigation into the Dabrowski parcel.
By late February FCT issued an offer in the amount of $500,000 to the Dabrowski Trust. Representatives
from the Dabrowski Trust are Herb Morrison (Trustee) and attorney Steve Gutman. Negotiations for the
purchase have been difficult. The trustee represented that they have an appraisal estimating a value of
approximately $1.5 million. After initial negotiation between FCT and the trustee were not fruitful, FCT
and City negotiated with the trustees. During this round of negotiations, trustees would not move from a
counter offer of $1.3 million and pressed for a best -offer from the City. Because the City was of the
opinion that without a counter offer the negotiation would stop, an offer of $700,000 was verbally issued.
subject to Council review and approval. After this negotiation session, the trustees negotiated again with
FCT and still expressed reluctance to accept an offer of $700,000. As a result, trustees offered up to
$750,000 contingent upon City and FCT approval.

GOING FORWARD
It has become clear that acquiring actual working waterfront is vital to the projects success. Without such
parcel, it will become difficult to attract micro business to the Hurricane Harbor parcel. Worst case
scenario is that the City purchases a parcel that has no usefulness within the allowance of the grant
because of the lack of a secured working waterfront. In my opinion, going down this path would lead to
an unsuccessful project.
However, if Dabrowski and Hurricane Harbor can be purchased, staff (and the Waterfront Committee) is
hopeful that an agreement can be reached with the Sebastian Fisherman's Landing, Inc that will lead to a
successful project. The ultimate goal is to create a working waterfront that (1) supports commercial
fishing; (2) establishes an area for commerce; and, (3) draws tourism by making museums, viewing areas
and conducting festivals. These activities would promote reinvestment in the district; the ultimate concept
for redevelopment dollars.
1. Approve the $750,000 offer.
OPTIONS
Essentially three options are available to the City. Because Dabrowski acquisition terms are significantly
above the appraised value, the project is at a crossroad. While accepting grant money reduces local
investment, no matter the cost, the community can not ignore its fiduciary responsibility to spend local, as
well as, state tax funds wisely. Even with the strong desire to close on the project, three options should
be reviewed by the CRA Board:
2. Counter offer. The City can consider a counter offer and present that to FCT for additional
negotiations. Ranges of a counter offer may be between $571,000 (which keeps the City from
additional appropriation) to $600,000 (20% over appraised value).
3. Deny the offer. There is significant financial reason to reject the offer. Should this be the
situation, the CRA should consider abandoning the project for the reasons stated in the "Going
Forward" paragraph.
SHIFTING FUNDS
In any case, below is a series of four charts which demonstrate how funds should be shifted and what is
