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

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.
