SUMMARY
On April 14, 2009, the City received final approval from the Governing Board of
the State of Florida from the Florida Communities Trust/Florida Forever program
for the Stan Mayfield Working Waterfronts Program. FCT will fund 90% of the
final project costs, in an amount not to exceed $3,163,500.00. Ten percent of the
project costs were committed by the City in Resolution R-08-28.
Once the City approves the agreement, FCT staff will initiate appraisals and
begin negotiations. If a purchase price is agreed upon with the sellers, FCT will
conduct a property closing and transfer title to the City. The funds themselves do
not get transferred to the City, but are transmitted from the State to the
respective property owners.
The appraisals and acquisition processes are outlined in the Florida
Administrative Code (FAC). The FAC and Florida Statutes (FS) specifically
addresses a confidentiality clause that requires the City to maintain confidentiality
of all appraisals, offers and counteroffers. Furthermore, these records are
exempt from public records requests. The confidentiality is only in effect until the
real estate transaction is completed in accordance with 9K-10.005 (1) FAC and
Sec. 119.07(1) F.S.

The grant agreement also requires the City to prepare a management plan
before any real estate sales occur. The City is working with the FCT staff to draft
the first management plan under the SMWWP. Staff expects to have that
completed in the next 30-60 days. Financial records and an annual report will
be fulfilled by the Finance department in a manner similar to other State grant
requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve grant agreement and confidentiality agreement and authorize City
Manager to execute both documents for transmittal to Florida Communities Trust.
