Facade, Sign Landscape Grant Award Recommendations (GMD Transmittal, Recommended Designs, Applications) The City Attorney advised that the packet indicated the minutes to be approved were from the December 9 It was the consensus of Council to change the approved minutes date to December 9 2009. Community Redevelopment Meeting February 10, 2010 Page Two 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 NAYS: None Motion carried 6. Being no further business, Mayor Gillmor adjourned the Community Redevelopment Agency meeting at 6:13 p.m. Approved at the CRA meeting. Richard H. Gillmor, Mayor ATTEST: Sally A.

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.

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 available for a Dabrowski purchase in excess of $500,000.
