UPDATE ON OFFSHORE MARINA
Mr. Minner reviewed his memo and back -up information on acquiring the two waterfront
properties, Hurricane Harbor and the Dabrowski Trust, which will be presented to City Council
at their CRA meeting on March 10, 2010. The Hurricane Harbor site is on target and should
close between now and June 1, 2010.
As detailed in his memo, Mr. Minner explained the negotiations that have taken place with the
Dabrowski Trust. The Trustee has currently made a counter offer of $750,000, which is
$250,000 above the FCT's appraisal figure and below their original asking price of $1.5 million.
He would recommend the city make another counter offer somewhere between the $500,000
appraisal figure and the $750,000 offer by Dabrowski's Trustee. Mr. Minner also gave a
breakdown on the City match figures as they compare to the City CRA allocation amounts.
Committee members discussed the pros and cons of the four charts within Mr. Minner's memo.
MOTION by Conway /Salmon to recommend City Council as CRA to move forward with the
Working Waterfronts project and negotiate the best deal possible.
There was discussion amongst the committee as to whether a set figure should be included in
the motion or leave it open for any future negotiations.
The motion passed unanimously on voice vote.
The committee also had a brief discussion on what venues could be done at the properties.
