A. Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Dabrowski Purchase (City Manager Transmittal)
The City Manager said staff is very close to the end of the grant procurement portion of the
process and noted the packet recapped the grant application, the City's efforts in obtaining
the property to create the working waterfront. He said the Florida Communities Trust (FCT)
has negotiated a price over appraised price and he was seeking authority to move forward
as the price is over the assessed value.

John Conway, Chair, Working Waterfront Committee, read from a report of the
Committee. (see attached)
He said the project was to stimulate the commercial fishing industry, provide waterfront
destination for water enthusiasts, educate the public about fishing, and promote the
historic fishing industry which will increase area hotel, food, and beverage services. He
said the Committee recommendation is to move forward and close on the property.
The City Manager said going forward the Dabrowski parcel has become critical because
of the need of the working waterfront which was going to be the heartbeat of the project.
He recommended putting together the two parcels and lease out for both uses, noting the
Fishing Co -op are the best people to do that.
He offered three options to the CRA Board as set out in the agenda packet:
1) Give himauthorization to purchase the Dabrowski parcel at $750,000
2) Give a counteroffer to the trustee
3) Deny the offer
He said the project has merit and is a classic example of the use of redevelopment dollars.
He also said there are some budget ramifications if they spill over and he can explain where
to get the money from. DR. PFT
6. PUBLIC INPUT
Damien Gilliams, 1623 US Highway 1, disagreed with the project, citing the current
economy, inappropriate use of CRA funds, new regulations being imposed on the fishing
industry, and taking prime property off the market.
Sal Neglia, Member of the Working Waterfront Committee, said he thought earlier it would
be a good thing for City but he was under the assumption it would be a museum, and
education center, didn't think there would be enough money for the CAVCORP property and
cited the Archie Carr property purchased by the County. He urged the Board to give it a lot
of thought.
Barbara Salmon, Member of the Working Waterfront Committee, spoke in favor of the
project, said there are a lot of interested people waiting to see if the City purchases the
Dabrowski property, and CAVCORP can wait.
Louise Kautenburg said if you do nothing, nothing will happen but continual degradation of
the area, said this week three people told her they purchased Sebastian property because
of the Main Street boat ramp improvements.
Chris Pinson said this town has done nothing for the commercial fisherman, it is worth
the investment, otherwise it will be bought for condos and docks, and there are a
number of business opportunities to go in there, and if the City is going to make an
offer, there should be a letter of intent to sell at a specific price.

Ed Herlihy, Sebastian, said this Council voted to start the working waterfront project, he
strongly urged Council to approve option number two, allowing the City Manager to see
if he can get a lower price.
Mayor Gillmor asked everyone to recall the amount of time spent on the Main Street
project which has been a wonderful, but said it is hard to pay more money than what it
appraises for.
MOTION by Mayor Gillmor and SECOND by Ms. Coy to approve chart number two,
bringing this back to the City Manager to negotiate at $571,000 which will still brings
the City in under budget.
Mr. Wolff said when the City Manager started off he mentioned the collaboration with
Fisherman's Landing, to which Council had sent a letter of support to FCT for their
grant application but we were not privy to the application. He asked the City Manager
for details on the collaboration between the City and Fisherman's Landing.
The City Manager explained at the time that Council submitted a supporting
resolution, Fisherman's Landing was not prepared /willing to share and after the
grants closed up, we received a copy of the grant. He said their grant estimated a $2
M purchase for Dabrowski and their goals matched the "A" purpose of the grant
which was to invest and rebuild a working waterfront with piers, docks, kiosks, fishing
house. He explained Fisherman's Landing pays expenses to the Dabrowski trust
now, they want to purchase that ground and invest back what they pay now. He said
the "B" portion was to be the ancillary items to include restaurants, museums and as
the City got more into it, the City found some things couldn't be as business
enterprising as we wanted, so the Committee decided to buy the property.
Mr. Wolff asked what investments or securities Fisherman's Landing might have.
The City Manager said he knows of the investments they put into the dock and the
expenses they pay now. AFT
Mr. Wolff asked if Fisherman's Landing, Inc. would be the sole recipient of the lease
or will it be an RFP process that is open to others.
The City Manager explained that the City should lease it with Fisherman's Landing
because as the Committee was working on Hurricane Harbor and Sebastian
Entertainment's business plan, the Committee decided to obtain a RFP for a fish
market, an ice depot, and eco tours. The City only received one proposal but the
feedback was that the fisherman weren't interested in filling out paperwork that
doesn't have working waterfront next to it. He said the use of the property without
the Dabrowski purchase is in limbo but without the security of knowing there will be
an actual waterfront, the City lost the fishermen's interest.

Mr. Wolff said he wanted to understand the statement that they had said they were
not interested in it if the Dabrowski property was not included so he contacted the
City Clerk to find it in minutes of the public meetings that it came from bu a could
,liz not find any.
Mr. Wolff asked the City Manager if he buys into the concept of single property FAT
leased to Fisherman's Landing.
The City Manager said he didn't foresee a unity of title but a lease over two parcels
that depict what Fisherman's Landing is to do at the Dabrowski parcel and they will
take charge of the Hurricane Harbor building, in exchange for the price of a lease.
The City Manager said he sees a lease over the two parcels and in exchange for what
we want them to do. The City needs to be extremely reasonable with the lease price to
make sure the fishermen are investing back into the property.
Mr. Wolff asked how that reconciles with other business owners in the district that have
similar businesses.
The City Manager said the FCT rules benefit the businesses that support commercial
fisherman such as packing houses, retail fish market, museums so we will try not to
compete with the businesses on Indian River Drive.
Mr. Wolff said the trustee has an appraisal for $1.5 M and he asked if the City Manager
saw the appraisal. The City Manager said that is what the trustee represented to us, and
the FCT did an appraisal of $500,465. Mr. Wolff said it has been his experience that if
you can't see the appraisal, there is a good chance it is non existent, and asked why we
would purchase above the appraised amount in the worst real estate market in history.
The City Manager said this is a classic example of why government can't get good deal
when they purchase property because of the sunshine law, Dabrowski had in his mind that
his property was worth $2 M which carried over to Fisherman's Landing opinion and they
agreed even though the market was declining, and as the City moved forward, we leaned
on appraised value numbers where there was $1 M gap and at every turn they used our
documentation to keep the offer high.
He continued to say that the perceived values, and our planning for it brings us to where
we are at today and this is where we ask is the intrinsic value worth the extra $250,000 and
he didn't want to give his opinion because it compromises what he goes back to the state
with.
Mr. Wolff said we have been working on word of mouth, we have nothing in writing and it
makes the decision difficult. He said he did some research and cited an article dated Sept.
2008 regarding the Archie Smith House and comments from County Environmental Chief
Roland DeBois who was interested in using Stan Mayfield Grant Program to teach others
about Florida's commercial fishing heritage. He said he put that out there because this
began in 2006 and he hoped Council could draw some conclusions from this.

Mr. Hill said we are not going to be able to finish this and it would be in the best interest of
all if we table this until we can put an entire meeting together, this is a critically important
issue for the City of Sebastian, there are a lot of numbers being thrown around and we need
to dissect those numbers to see if they are fair. He said the City of Sebastian has no
intention of offering $750,000 for anything, rather we are considering a much smaller
amount to help the state purchase it.
Mr. Hill said again he thought we should table this and have a CRA meeting in the future
that is completely devoted to this subject.
Ms. Coy said she agreed but she didn't want to end the meeting with a negative taste in
people's mouth. She pointed out that as a member of the County's Land Acquisition
Committee, she did encourage the County to buy the Archie Smith parcel along with an
attached parcel, but Archie Smith doesn't have a channel to get the boats in and out of. She
said it could replicate a working waterfront but could never be a working waterfront.
Mr. Wright said he thought it would be a wonderful project; the City has spent 10 years
coming up with visions for the waterfront. He also said the Archie Smith project was never
managed by the City or fishermen so it's quite different, and suggested another hour to
dedicate time and effort to it, or could go along with the counter offer, which in his opinion
would be rejected.
Mayor Gillmor thanked everyone for their comments, said he wanted to bring this to
some resolution tonight because it is difficult to negotiate in the sunshine, but the motion
is to negotiate and if it fails, we may get another number from the Trust. He said he
appreciated Mr. Hill's idea to table but we do have a motion and second on the floor and
called the question.
Ms. Coy said she was not done even though she seconded and wanted to discuss
further.
Mr. Wolff asked if there was a sounding made for the water's depth. The City Manager
said it is functional now so he thought it was deep enough for boats to get in and out.
Ms. Coy said she would like to discuss this matter further before voting. She asked the
City Attorney if they could pick up exactly where they left off if they continued the
meeting.
The City Attorney said they could but there was no second to the motion to table. The
City Clerk noted there had not been a motion to table and Mr. Hill said he made that
motion.
Ms. Coy seconded the motion to table.
DRAFT
The City Attorney advised that a motion to table takes precedence over the Mayor's
motion.

Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Grant
The decision before the CRA Council this evening
To determine if the intrinsic value of Sebastian's Working Waterfront Project
warrants the purchase of the Dabrowski property for an amount that may exceed
the current appraised value.
The Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Grant was established to:
Assist coastal communities in the preservation of their traditional working
waterfronts with the acquisition of properties to be used
for the commercial harvest of marine organisms, by state licensed commercial fisherman
to promote and educate the public about the cultural and historic heritage of Florida's
traditional working waterfronts
The City of Sebastian and Fisherman's Landing Sebastian, Inc initially pursued the grant as a
collaborative effort to purchase three properties on Indian River Drive, Sebastian Entertainment
Center, Hurricane Harbor Dabrowski Ocean Marine
The City of Sebastian was awarded $3,163,500 from the SMWW Grant on April 14, 2009.
Hurricane Harbor is under contract
1) Fisherman's Landing did not receive grant funding due to a not for profit technicality
2) Sebastian Entertainment Center rejected the State of Florida's offer
As the Working Waterfront Committee researched the project, the committee realized the
importance of the Dabrowski property to the overall success of the waterfront operation and due to
the two events stated above, recommended moving the boundaries of the grant that was awarded
to the City to include the Dabrowski property. On Oct 8, 2009 City Council agreed. The anticipated
new cost to the City as outlined by staff at the time was $600,000 for the Dabrowski property.
Appraised Value
At the time of the initial grant application by Fisherman's Landing in Nov 2008, the Dabrowski
property had an "estimated" value of $2M, then by mid 2009 to have a value of $1.5M. The state
recently (2010) requested and received two appraisals for the Dabrowski property, and set the state
funded purchase price at $500,000.
Committee Findings
Meeting throughout the year the committee has visited a commercial fishing operation, discussed
the needs of the industry, the transient nature of commercial fisherman to go where the fish are,
the seasonal nature of the business and the basic infrastructure requirements. The Sebastian
0
Working Waterfront will fill the recognized need to conveniently unload their catch of the day, have
the availability of ice for packing, the wholesale operation onsite and the storage of equipment. This
infrastructure has costs associated with it and the fishermen are willing to pay for it.
Many ideas have been discussed and researched for the Hurricane Harbor property as the
location for educational and civic events. The space requirement for the adjacent commercial fishing
operation have also been considered, two examples would be the need for a cold storage facility
and a possible retail fish market with some prepared foods. We eventually recognized that the
properties could not be viewed as separate entities, with separate leases with the city. The city
should lease the combined property to a single business management company. This company
would then adhere to the requirements of the grant.
We have also found that Department of Agriculture is very supportive of the project, along
with many of the local fisherman, wholesale distribution companies and tour operators. There has
however been hesitation by potential investors /business's to commit due to the uncertainty of the
Dabrowski property. Without a commercial fishing dock there is no working waterfront.
Project Summary
as defined in the City of Sebastian Grant Application
to rejuvenate the commercial fishing industry in Sebastian
provide a destination for waterfront and fishing enthusiasts
to educate the public about the commercial fishing heritage of Sebastian
exhibitions
demonstrations
educational venues
civic events
create a destination for promoting Florida's primary and historic industry fishing
matching funds CRA
generate new tax bases
bolster the local economy
increase retail, food, beverage, hotel sales
create job's
Today's economic conditions have caused the value of these properties to decline, the SMWW may
never be funded again and the momentum is there today to make the project successful
Committee Recommendation
Proceed with the working waterfront project and negotiate the best deal possible to
close on the Dabrowski property

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.
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:
1. Approve the $750,000 offer.
OPTIONS
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.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends to the CRA Board that a counter offer between $550,000 $600,000 be made to the
Dabrowski trust. Allocation for such a motion can be made based upon the illustrative charts above. In
addition, the CRA Board should reconvene if the offer is rejected to determine (1) another offer; or, (2)
abandonment of the Dabrowski purchase.
