>> NEXT WE HAVE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC.

>> THIS IS TIME FOR PUBLIC WHO HAVE SIGNED UP.

I HAVE THREE PEOPLE THAT ARE SIGNED UP.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

MISS COX WILL GIVE YOU WARNING OF THREE SECONDS.

>> THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> ITEM I, KI WE WATCHED THIS TWICE BEFORE WITH THE FT. PIERCE UTILITY AUTHORITY. THE FIRST TIME WE ALL SCREWED IT UP SO YOU CAME BACK AND DID IT AGAIN.

TODAY YOU WANT TO REMOVE HIM FROM AS THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FT. PIERCE ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE FPRA.

THIS MAN HAS DONE A GOOD JOB. AND YET YOU DON'T LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE WON'T KISS YOUR BUTT.

AND HE STANDS UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN.

WATCHING WHAT WENT ON THE LAST TIMES LIKE WATCHING A LYNCHING. NOW YOU WILL DO IT AGAIN.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

YOU REALLY SHOULD. AND HE'S DONE A GOOD JOB.

WE ALL FALL SHORT. GOD KNOWS YOU ALL WOULD KNOW THAT. AND YOU KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER THING. I STARTED LOOKING AT OUR CITY INVESTMENTS. AND OUR PROPERTIES IN YOUR INFINITE WISDOM YOU BOUGHT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

EVERY ONE HAS A STORY TO TELL.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PROPERTIES THAT WERE BOUGHT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND FLIPPED. I FOUND SOME THAT PEEKED MY INTEREST. OR A LOT OF THEM THAT HAVE.

WE WILL TAKE ONE OF THEM. EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.

BUT LET'S TAKE THE FIRST ONE. I SEE MR. MIMM HAS A GREAT GRIN. 426 DOUGLAS COURT.

RAGGEDY PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT BACKS UP AGAINST THE CANAL. VALUE IS 1948 DOLLARS.

THE CITY PAID 14,000 BUT THEY'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WITH IT. IT'S STILL SITTING THERE VACANT. YOU DON'T EVEN MOW IT HALF THE TIME. MR. MIMMS SOLD IT TO YOU FOR $14,000. THAT'S 7 TIMES THE CURRENT VALUE. AND THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF THESE LIKE THAT. NOT SOLD BY MR. MIMMS. HE GOT ONE BITE AT THE APPLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE IN

>> PO BOX 2592 FT. PIERCE. I'M HERE TODAY FOR A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, MY SERVICES TO THIS BOARD THAT YOU HAVE ON THE AGENDA I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2013. MOST OF THAT HAS BEEN SERVED AS CHAIRMAN. I'VE ONLY MISSED ONE MEETING FOR THE RECORD. I'VE LOOKED AT THE RESEARCH AND I DON'T SEE A PROBABLE CAUSE.

[00:05:01]

I'M ASKING THAT YOU CONSIDER DEEPLY THAT THE ITEM YOU HAVE FOR RESOLUTION 2105 BE DENIED.

THIRD, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THINGS THAT SHOW FRAGMENTS. THE COURT EXONERATED ME FROM THE MISDEMEANOR CHARGES. YET YOU ALL CONTINUE TO HAVE COURT. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OR PLAINLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RULES. THE COURT HAS SPOKEN AND YET I'M STILL BEING PUNISHED. I SERVED FOUR BOARDS STATE BOARD, COUNTY BOARD AND TWO LOCAL BOARDS.

I WENT EACH PLACE TO SEE WHAT WOULD BE.

AND NO ONE THOUGHT THE MISDEMEANOR WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO ASK ME TO STEP ASIDE.

I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY. ITS TRAFFIC INFRACTION.

I HAVE NO TIES EVEN THOUGH HERE IN FT. PIERCE THERE'S RUMOR THEY GOT AHOLD OF ME. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED DURING THE HOLIDAY PERIOD. HAD NOT BEEN FOR THAT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT. WHAT MY CHARGE WERE VIOLATION OF PROBATION. I TRANSFERRED THAT ACTIVITY TO ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND I THOUGHT WASN'T SHOWING UP.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT HISTORY TO THE WRONGNESS OF THE COURT.

THE JUDGE AND THE COURTS HAVE DECIDED TO RULE ON IT.

THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY HERE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE YOU LOOK FOR AWAY TO CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.

THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERN. THEY DIDN'T THINK THIS SHOULD GO. YOU PUT THE COT BEFORE THE HORSE WITH OTHER PROBLEM. YOU DIDN'T HAVE A HORSE TO PULL THE COT. YOU JUST ACTUALLY WENT ON A WILD CHASE. I WOULD LIKE IT TO SPEAK FOR ITSELF. I'M NOT SHAMED BY MY

ACTIVELY. >> MARIO WILCOX.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. FOR THE RECORD MY NAME COMMUNITY ACTIVIST WILCOX. 5227 OAKLAND CIRCLE.

I'M SPEAKING TODAY ON THE SAME ITEM AS OUR PREVIOUS TWO SPEAKERS. I APPEAR BEFORE YOU AUGUST THE 2ND AT THE CITY COMMISSION MEETING AND I ADDRESS MY CONCERNS. AND I STILL HAD THE SAME CONCERN, DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW WHICH EVERYONE IS FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT. ALSO YOU HAD A FIFTH AMENDMENT WHICH IS DOUBLE JEOPARDY.

THAT WAS THE DISCUSSION THAT YOU ALL HAD ON JULY 19TH.

I UNDERSTAND IT WASN'T ON THE AGENDA.

BUT YOU KNOW THERE WAS A VOTE TAKEN AND THEN YOU HAD THE AUGUST THE 2ND MEETING. WHICH CREATING EVEN FURTHER MESS. AND MY REP ACTIVITY I DID COMMUNICATE MY CONSTITUENT CONCERN TO HIM AND I WILL OPENLY STATE IT RIGHT NOW TOO.

YOU CAN'T INFRINGE UPON ANYONE'S RIGHT.

I TOOK AN OATH TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

AS FOR THE U.K. CONSTITUTION I STAND THE SAME.

TODAY MR. CHARLIE MATTHEWS. TOMORROW IT COULD BE ONE OF YOU. AND GUESS WHAT, I WILL BE IN THE AUDIENCE, SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON YOUR BEHALF AS WELL.

BECAUSE WHAT'S GOING ON NOW COULD BE AVOIDED.

IT'S A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. IT'S A TOTAL WASTE OF TAX PAYER DOLLARS. AND AS THE FISCAL CONSERVATIVE, AND PERSON THEY BELIEVE IN MOVING THIS GREAT

[00:10:02]

CITY FORWARD INCLUDING IMPROVING THE UNDER SERVED COMMUNITIES, OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS COULD BE SPEND YOU KNOW TOWARDS THAT. AND NOT EXHAUSTING ALL THE RESOURCES GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND SUBSEQUENTLY WHAT COULD COME OUT OF THIS AS WELL.

I'M AM NOT MISTER MANAGEMENT YOUS ATTORNEY IN NEITHER DO I HAVE HIS STATE OF MIND NOR HAVE AN INTEREST A PERSONAL INTEREST IN IT. THE INTEREST I HAVE THE THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF -- THAT WE ARE ALL AFFORDED AND THE INFRINGEMENT THEREOF. SO I'M ASKING YOU FOR THE SAKE OF THIS CITY AND THE TAX PAYER WHOSE ARE SUFFERING BEHIND THIS TO PLEASE CEASE AND DESIST WITH THIS ACTION.

I'M ASKING THAT YOU DO THAT. IF IT GOES TO ANY OTHER COURT HANDS DOWN THE MAY BE A SLAM DUNK COURT.

IN CIVIL COURT THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS MUCH LESS.

THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU. >> THAT COMPLETES PUBLIC

COMMENT. >> FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA

[a. Approval for staff to enter into negotiations with the highest ranked proposer pursuant to review of proposals associated with RFP 2021-027 Means Court Center Multi-Service Community Hub.]

IS APPROVAL FOR STAFF TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE HIGHEST RANKED PROPOSER PURSUANT TO REVIEW OF PROPOSAL ASSOCIATED WITH WITH RFP-2021-027 MEANS COURT CENTER MULTI-SERVICE COMMUNITY HUB.

>> MR. MIMMS. MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I WANT TO ASK FOR OUR ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT IF YOU DON'T KNOW.

SARAH DELGADO. SHE WILL HELP ME OUT.

WE ARE MISSING KEY MEMBER. SHE WILL HELP OUT TODAY.

HOPEFULLY I CAN RUN THROUGH THIS WITHOUT TOO MANY MISTAKES. AS YOU KNOW, THE FPRA WAS RECENTLY CAME INTO OWNERSHIP OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF PROPERTY WHICH IS HISTORIC PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY. SUBSEQUENTLY WE DID SOME COMMUNITY INPUT MEETINGS. WE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND MOVED FORWARD WITH AN RFP.

THAT RFP HAS YIELDED A FEW RESULTS.

HOLD ON. THERE WE GO.

IT HAS YIELDED A FEW RESULTS. BASICALLY CULMINATING IN THIS TIME LANE. WE ISSUED THE RFP PURSUANT TO MEETING WITH FPRA BOARD ON APRIL 22ND.

CLOSED ON JUNE 22ND AND WE INVESTIGATED ON JULY 22ND.

FROM THE PROPOSAL THAT WE RECEIVED.

I WILL QUICKLY GO OVER THE FIVE PROPOSAL THAT WE RECEIVED. WE DID NOT GET SCHEMATICS.

WE RECEIVED CONCEPTS. FROM THE CONCEPTS.

SURVIVE OF MURDER VICTIM SUPPORT GROUP.

THEY WANTED TO PROVIDE PIER SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES OF MURDERED VICTIM. AND ALSO THEY WANTED TO OCCUPY ONE OF THE SIX ROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR WITH AN ADJACENT BATHROOM. THIS WAS PROPOSED TO BE A 5 TO 10-YEAR LEASE. THEN WE HAVE THE PARENTS FOR PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION. THIS WOULD PROVIDE AND INCLUDE CAREER PREPARATION JOB EXPLORATION.

AND ALSO GROUP MEETING TARGETING THE COMMUNITY'S UNDER SERVED PARENTS AND YOUTH.

THEY SOUGHT TO OCCUPY THE TWO ADJOINING ROOMS WITH THE MULTIMEDIA TV PRODUCTION STUDIO.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN INTO THE MEANS COURT CENTER YOU KNOW THAT ST. LUCIE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD TV WAS HOUSED THERE.

THEY HAVE SPECIFIC AREAS FOR THAT TYPE OF USE.

SIR, YOU WILL HAVE TO HIT THE PUTTOP.

WE HAVE THE WORD OF FAITH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY.

THIS WAS A PRIVATE SCHOOL SERVING STUDENT FROM KINDERGARTEN TO 8TH GRADE. THEY SOUGHT TO GAIN OCCUPANCY BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT YEAR AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A 10-YEAR LEASE WITH ROUGHLY 1,000 DOLLARS A MONTH PAYMENT. THEY LOOK FOR 1,000 A MONTH PAYMENT TO OCCUPY THE FACILITY.

>> THEN WE HAVE THE DEANTEAM. LLC CONTRACTED PROVIDER OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF JUVENILE JUFLT. THEY WOULD DELIVER PREVENTION SERVICES THROUGH CENTER FOR CHANGE.

NOW, BASICALLY THEY WERE LOOKING TO ALSO OCCUPY THE OLD STUDIO AND THE SURROUNDING ROOMS AND THEN THEY WERE GOING TO RELOCATE THE ORGANIZATION HEADQUARTERS TO THE LINCOLN PARK AREA AND SERVE THE YOUTH FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITY. THEY WERE PROPOSAL ROUGHLY 12,000 ANNUALLY FOR THIS SPECIFIC USE.

THEN WE HAVE THE INCUBATE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY WOULD TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE

[00:15:02]

PROPERTY. THEY WERE GOING TO PROVIDE EDUCATION. BUSINESS INCUBATION.

HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM AND RESOURCES SPECIFICALLY TARGETED TO LOW-INCOME RESIDENT.

IT WOULD BE FOUR FACES OF CONSTRUCTION.

ALL WOULD BE FINANCED DIRECTLY BY THIS ORGANIZATION AND THEY WILL CREATE THE HUB ACTUALLY OF MULTIPLICITY OF SERVICES THAT THE COMMUNITY WAS DESIRED TO HAVE.

OUR EVALUATION CRITERIA AND OUR EVALUATION TEAM WAS COMPOSED OF CHEYENNE OUR ECONOMIC AND TOM KENDRA JUNIOR FROM THE SBDIRC. JOHN MORRIS.

LESLIE OLSON, AND MIKE REAL THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

THEY UTILIZED THIS EVALUATION CRITERIA TO RANK THE PROPOSALS AND BASICALLY WHAT THAT YIELDED WAS THE HIGHEST RANK NUMBER OF THE PROPOSAL TEAM WHICH WOULD BE INCUBATE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER WHICH SCORED 446 POINT OUT OF A POSSIBLE 500. THAT'S A PRETTY HIGH SCORE OUT OF THAT MAX POINT ALLOCATION.

>> YOU SEE WHERE THE OTHER PROPOSAL FELL AS WELL.

OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL FOR STAFF TO INITIATE WITH THE HIGHEST RANKED PROPOSER TO REALIZE THE HUB THAT WE HAD ADVERTISED FOR

IMPLEMENTATION. >> QUESTIONS OF MR. MIMMS.

DISCUSSION. >> MADAM MAYOR.

MADAM CHAIR. MR. MAYOR, THANK YOU FOR THAT SUMMARY. I REVIEWED THE PACKAGE AND LOOKED AT EACH INDIVIDUAL. I THINK FOR DISCUSSION ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WASN'T CLEAR BECAUSE WE SAW SOME ORGANIZATION WANTING A ROOM HERE OR ROOMS THERE.

COULD YOU REVIEW THE OVERALL TOTALITY AND BRIEF OF THE RFP WHAT WE WERE ASKING FOR. WOULD PROVIDE ANYTHING FROM BUSINESS INCUBATION. WORKFORCE TRAINING.

EDUCATION. COUNSELING, WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL CITIGROUPS. IT WOULD ACT AS THE CULTURAL CENTER OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND JUST YOU KNOW ACTIVITY IN GENERAL FOR THE LINCOLN PARK AREA.

AS YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW, LINCOLN PARK AREA IS PRETTY MUCH DEVOID OF ACTIVITY. WE'RE TRYING OUR BEST TO SPUR THAT. AND THIS WILL BE THE CATALYST FOR THAT PARTICULAR INITIATIVE.

>> I'M SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT IN THE RFP WE LOOKED FOR ENTITY TO TAKE THIASSET A MANAGE IT.

THAT'S THE PART YOU MENTIONED IN THE PRESENTATION.

I DID NOT HEAR A MANAGEMENT -- SOME OF PROPOSED LIKE 1,000 PER MONTH.

DID I MISS SOMETHING WITH THE TOP GROUP HERE?

>> WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.

WHEN WE HAVE A FACILITY AND THERE'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT REALIZED BY THE TENANT. TYPICALLY WE HAVE ANYWHERE FROM 10 LEASES TO $1 LEASE IN SOME CASES IT'S FREE BECAUSE WE GET THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. YES.

IT IS ADVANTAGEOUS TO HAVE ONE ENTITY IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE FACILITY. I ENVISION THIS ONE ORGANIZATION CAN WORK WITH POSSIBLY THE OTHER PROPOSALS TO BRING THOSE RESOURCES TO OUR LINCOLN PARK AREA.

I BELIEVE ITS INCLUSIVE. ALL OF THE PROPOSALS WARRANTED MERIT. I DO BELIEVE THIS GROUP WE CAN WORK WITH THEM AND WE CAN REALIZE THIS TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT THAT WE'RE SEEKING FOR THE LINCOLN PARK

AREA. >> I GOT YOU.

>> I AGREE. WHEN I READ THE PROPOSAL.

I FELT THAT WOULD BE THE CASE.

I WAS CURIOUS AS TO -- THEY ARE ASSUMING.

COULD YOU GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE.

I THINK ASSUMING FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND HAD SOME PLANS TO KIND OF MAYBE ENHANCE THE.

DOLLAR PER MONTH. THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING

FOR. >> $12 PER YEAR.

>> MR. MIMMS. IST -- I WAS LOOKING A PROPOSAL. THIS IS FAIRLY NEW ORGANIZATION. I KNOW THE PRINCIPAL MISS GARDNER. I KNOW HER WORK AT UNITED AGAINST POVERTY. SHE IS AN EXPERIENCED PERSON.

I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WHICH OFFERING TO DO QUITE A BIT WITH VERY LITTLE FUNDING RIGHT NOW.

AT LEAST SO I THINK THAT I THINK WE NEED TO BE ASSURED THEY WILL BE FINANCIALLY ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY PROMISE.

[00:20:03]

I KNOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ENTERING INTO NEGOTIATIONS.

I WOULD THINK THAT THERE COULD HAVE TO BE MILESTONES AND BEYOND THAT I'M GOING TO GIVE MY USUAL SPULE HOW THE MEANS COURT CENTER IS HISTORIC.

AND VERY VALUABLE SYMBOL TO THIS COMMUNITY FOR EDUCATION AND SO I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN EMPHASIZING THE EDUCATION ASPECT OF IT AND COEXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION.

I WOULD LIKE CONSIDERATION OF SOME OF THE OTHER GROUP BEING INCLUDED THE SURVIVORS OF MURDERED VICTIMS BECAUSE THAT GROUP IS REALLY GOTTEN THEIR ACT TOGETHE.

THEY ARE PERFORMING VALUABLE SERVICE AND I THINK -- I THIS IF I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE ENCOURAGED IF THEY POSSIBLE

THEY COULD USE THE CENTER. >> DEFINITELY.

>> WHEN WE -- IF IT IS APPROVED FOR TO ANSWER INTO NEGOTIATION. WE WILL DEFINITELY BRING ABOUT THE MILESTONE. WE WILL DETERMINE WHEN THE IMPROVEMENT CAN HAPPEN. WHAT FACES.

WHERE THE FINANCES WILL COME FROM.

HOW WILL IT BE FINANCED AND OF COURSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITH US ON THE PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT.

BECAUSE WE WOULD BE THE ACTUAL APPLICANT.

WE OWN THE ACTUAL PROPERTY. THAT WOULD NOT BE OUT PROBLEM MADAM CHAIR. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM WORK WITH THESE FOUR AND OTHER GROUP THAT HAVE

COMMUNITY BENEFIT. >> I WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON THAT. THEORETICALLY THIS IS NOT GOING TO COST THE CITY ANYTHING.

>> THEORETICALLY, YES, MA'AM. I WANTED TO BE SURE OF THAT.

THE WAY IT READ IT. >> COMMISSIONER PERONA.

>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I WANT TO HEAR THE STORY.

THAT MAY BE PART OF WHAT WE DO TOO.

WE LOOK FOR ANNUAL REPORT. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE HAVE A SPECIALIZED COMMUNITY BENEFIT THERE THAT WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN. I THINK IT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TELL THAT STORY ONCE A YEAR.

FIND OUT WHERE WE ARE AT WITH IT.

HOW THIS THING MOVES FORWARD. SO WE DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE OF A PLACE AND I WOULD LIKE IT NOT NECESSARILY THE PLACE BUT ACTUALLY THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE PROVIDED.

>> YES, SIR. >> I DO BELIEVE THAT THE ANNUAL REPORT WAS PART OF THE PROPOSAL BY THIS GROUP.

THEY WILL COME TO US OR BASICALLY PROVIDING THEIR METRIC AND THEIR PERFORMANCE MEASURE HOW THEY REACHED THE COMMUNITY, I WOULD HOPE THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF FAMILIES OR NUMBER OF PERSPECTIVE WORKER OR WORKFORCE DEVELOP AND HOW THEY INTEGRATE THE GROUP INTO THE WORKFORCE OF THE

COMMUNITY. >> JUST TO BUILD; YOU'RE RIGHT. WHEN WE TALKED WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND THEY WERE TRYING TO, OF COURSE, SELL US ON TAKING THIS OVER.

BUT WE TALKED ABOUT AND WE DISCUSSED A LOT OF VISION AND WE DISCUSSED A LOT OF IDEAS. STRICTLY ON PAPER LOOKING AT WHAT I SAW WITHIN ALL OF THE PROPOSALS.

I SAW A LOT OF OPTIONS. I SAW A LOT OF DIVERSE INITIATIVES THAT WOULD ALLOW MULTIPLE USES ON THE PROPERTY AND I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMETHING

SPECIAL. >> THANK YOU.

>> MADAM CHAIR. I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT, TOO. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR WE WOULD BE MOVING FORWARD TO BEGIN NEGOTIATION PROCESS.

THAT'S WHAT A WHERE THE DEVIL IN THE DETAIL COMES.

I THINK WE HAVE A TENANT THERE IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

>> WE WILL HAVE A TENANT. AND THE LINCOLN PARK GROUP.

THEY WILL BE MOVING INTO A SIMPLE I BELIEVE 2 AND A HALF ROOM SECTION WITHIN THE FACILITY.

>> I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT, TOO.

BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING THIS ORGANIZATION TO SET THE CULTURE OF THAT BUILDING, THAT GROUND, ET CETERA TO HELP BRING THAT IN. AND HELP WITH THAT IDENTITY GOING FORWARD. I WOULD HOPE IN OUR NEGOTIATIONS THAT'S A PART OF THE CONTRACT THAT IN ESSENCE THEY WOULD KIND OF BE THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY OF ANYTHING ELSE THAT FALLS UNDER THAT.

IE, ANY OTHER SUBCONTRACTS OR THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.

THEY WOULD KIND OF TAKE ON THE ROLL OF MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE IS PLAYING NICELY AND GETTING ALONG.

YOU KNOW, THE CULTURE IS THERE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. AND I THINK THAT'S GOT TO BE IMPORTANT; RIGHT? I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS THAT AS WELL.

AND AS SHE BEGINS TO LOOK AT EXPANSION AND OTHER THINGS.

BUT MADAM CHAIR I THINK YOU BROUGHT UP A POINT ABOUT THE FINANCE AND ASPECTS. I THINK AT SOME POINT I WOULD

[00:25:03]

LIKE TO HAVE THEM COME BACK AND WALK US THROUGH THAT.

EVEN AT -- ONE OTHER POINT WE HAD THE AWARDEE COME AND TALK US ABOUT THE VISION. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THEM AS WELL ZBROOCHLT WHAT WE CAN DO AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS. IF REACH AN AGREEMENT.

WE CAN HAVE THE GROUP RIGHT HERE GIVE US A BREAKDOWN OF THEIR VISION THE SCHEDULE THAT WE AGREED TO AND HOW THEY WILL GO ABILITY FINANCING THE IMPROVEMENT.

NOT ONLY FOR US BUT THE PUBLIC AS WELL.

THIS IS SOMETHING THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND.

IT WILL HAVE DRAMATIC IMPACT ON THAT CORRIDOR AND I KNOW THERE ARE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE JUST WAITING FOR A SIGNAL OF WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. I THINK IT WILL BE A TREMENDOUS MILESTONE THAT KIND OF START THAT PHASE OF THAT WHOLE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA.

>> OKAY. >> YES, SIR.

>> IT COULD BE A TREMENDOUS POSITIVE INFLUENCE IN THAT

WHOLE AREA. >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.

THAT OUT BUILDING THAT IS LIKE A BUNKER.

THAT REALLY STRONG BUILDINGS, THAT DOESN'T GO WITH -- THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CITY IS USING; RIGHT?

>> WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED USE FOR THAT AS OF YET.

THAT'S FLEXIBLE. >> VERY SAY IN A HURRICANE

THERE. >> NO, DOUBT.

>> I KNOW PUBLIC WORK WANTED TO POSSIBLY UTILIZE FOR

EQUIPMENT STORAGE. >> THERE'S A BASKETBALL COURT. A PARKING FACILITY.

THERE'S A DRIVE RETENTION AREA.

THERE'S ADDITIONAL GROUNDS WITH T-BALL.

I'VE BEEN ONE OF THE COACHES OUT THERE.

THERE'S A LOT OF POSSIBILITY WITH THAT AREA.

I BELIEVE IT'S ALL PART OF THE GREATER CANVAS.

MEANS COURT AREA. THE PLAZA.

THE WILLY SUBSTATION. JACKIE CANNON BUILDING.

THE LAND DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO LINCOLN THEATER.

AND THEN OF COURSE THE LINCOLN THEATER.

THAT ENTIRE CAMPUS CONCEPT WILL DRIVE VISITATION AND

ACTIVITY. >> I COULD -- THAT COMPLEX COULD BE VERY, VERY POSITIVE FOR THE LINCOLN PARK

NEIGHBORHOOD. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> WE NEED A MOTION. >> UNLESS THERE'S MORE DISCUSSION. MADAM CHAIR.

I WILL MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF RFP2021-027.

FOR STAFF TO ENTER NEGOTIATION WITH THE TOP AWARD WINNER INC ORGANIZATION.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

[b. Approval of Lease agreement with the Original Florida Hall of Fame Highwaymen, Inc. for the use of 1234 Avenue D to operate the Highwaymen Museum and African American Cultural Center.]

AGREEMENT WITH THE ORIGINAL FLORIDA HALL OF FAME HIGHWAYMEN INC FOR THE USE OF 1234 AVENUE D TO OPERATE THE HIGHWAYMEN MUSEUM AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN CULTURAL

CENTER. >> MADAM CHAIR.

IF YOU DON'T MIND. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING FORWARD THE MEMBER OF THE HIGHWAYMEN INK.

AND I BELIEVE WE ALSO -- WAIT A MINUTE WE HAVE MORE.

COME ON UP IF YOU DON'T MIND. >> HE HAS BEEN JUMPING ON OUR

STAFF. >> GOOD FOR HER.

>> WELCOME MISS TRUESDELL. >> WHO DO YOU HAVE WITH YOU?

>> THIS IS WILLY REAGAN. >> I'M ONE OF THE ORIGINAL HALL OF FAME ARTIST OF 5686, 41ST STREET.

32967 ZIP CODE. >> WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU.

IS YOU'RE IN THE FLORIDA ARTIST HALL OF FAME.

>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD SAW THAT YOU WERE HERE. AND THEN SUPPORT OF THE CONCEPT. AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WORKING WITH US FOR MANY YEARS AND NOW WE'RE AT --

>> YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE THIS RESPONSIBILITY; RIGHT?

>> I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> WE DO HAVE A PERSPECTIVE LEASE.

THIS IS SHORT-TERM LEASE. THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN IN QUICK FORM.

AND WE HAVE A WHOPPING TOTAL OF $1 PER YEAR.

[00:30:07]

AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD PAY ME TONIGHT IF WE GOT THAT DONE.

>> YOU GET FOUR QUARTERS. >>

[LAUGHTER] >> THE TENANT, OF COURSE WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE TENANT TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR THE BUILD INCONTENTS. AND THE FPRA, WE WOULD PROVIDE THE INSURANCE FOR THE DEMISE PREMISES, THE BUILDING AND THE GROUND AND RESPONSIBLE FOR UTILITY AND WORK WITH HIGHWAYMEN FOR BUILDING UPGRADES.

BECAUSE WE WANT TO SEE THIS FACILITY TLHRIVE.

WE WANT TO SEE THE RESIDENT IN THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF FT. PIERCE. WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK UPON.

MADAM CHAIR, IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND TO CONSIDER THIS APPROVAL OF THIS LEASE, WE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

>> DO WE SEE THIS AS PLACE WHERE WE WANT A LOT OF PEOPLE TO VISIT AND OR WILL THINGS BE ARTIST PRODUCTS WILL BE ON

SALE? >> I BELIEVE SO.

I'M SURE THEY HAVE SOME EXHIBITS I'M SURE THEY HAVE TUTORIALS. AND I ASSURE THEY WILL BE THERE TO SEE THE FANS AS THEY COME IN.

I DO THINK WILL BE PLACE OF GREAT ACTIVITY.

WE WILL START PROMOTING THIS TO THE WORLD.

>> I HOPE WE HAVE A RIBBON CUTTING.

A GRAND OPENING. >> RIGHT, RIGHT.

>> I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND SOME THINGS.

AND MR. MIMMS. DO WE HAVE A BUDGET FOR ANY ADDITIONAL THINGS COMING THAT WE NEED MAYBE MAKE SURE THIS FACILITY IN THIS AREA IS SECURE? ARE WE GOING TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES.

THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN. THE CITY HAD INVESTED A NUMBER OF ASSETS THERE AND PUT IN SOME IRON FENCE.

AND THAT'S NOT SERVING IN THE CAPACITY OF WHICH I THINK WOULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF US FOR THE COMMITTEE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. I'M CONCERNED WITH THAT.

AS WELL AS THE OTHER LITTLE ENCLAVES OF THIS THAT MAKE ITND AREA THAT WOULD INVITE ACTIVITY THAT I DON'T THINK IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HALL OF FAME OF THE FLORIDA HIGHWAYMEN. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND

>> WHAT THE PLAN IS TO ADDRESS.

WE DETERMINE THEIR NEEDS OPERATING A MUSEUM OF THIS NATURE. WHAT TYPE OF USE.

WILL IT BE OPEN EVERY DAY. WHAT WILL BE HOUSED THERE.

WE CAN LOOK AT SECURITY UPGRADES.

THE ENTIRE BUILDING ENVELOPE. WE CAN LOOK AT THE ACTUAL HUMIDITY AND HVAC AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS OF THE FACILITY. I BELIEVE LIT TAKE A SIGNIFICANT ANALYSIS IF WE DO THIS CORRECTLY.

WE DO HAVE PARTNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT OPERATE THE BACKUS COMMUNITY AND GALLERY. THEY HAVE GREAT KNOWLEDGE HOW A BUILDING SHOULD BE KEPT, MAINTAINED AND SECURED.

WE WILL UTILIZE THEIR INFORMATION.

WE HAVE OTHER MUSEUMS ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

AND IN THE NATION THAT WE CAN BORROW FROM.

THE FIRST STEP, SIR IS ASSESSMENT.

WE HAVE TO ASSESS THE GROUND. WE WILL COME BACK TO BOARD IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDED.

I DO BELIEVE WE WILL NEED THEM.

I DO BELIEVE THAT IS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INHAVESMENT. AND IF WE PREPARE THIS BUILDING, THEN THIS COULD BE SENSOR OF TOURISM AND ACTIVITY AND EVENTS. THIS INVESTMENT WILL MAKE THIS ENTIRE AREA BETTER. WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU WITH

THE RESULT OF THE ASSESSMENT. >> TONIGHT JUST A MOVE

FORWARD. >> YES.

>> I HAVE GREAT CONCERN WITH THAT KNOWING THAT I FREQUENT THAT AREA AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S REPRESENTATIVE

OF THE HALL OF FAME. >> WE WOULD ALL WANT THAT.

THIS IS A CENTERPIECE FOR OUR CITY.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE ASSESSMENT IS IN PLACE.

AND THAT WE LOOK TO FIND RESOURCES.

I'M SURE IT HAS TO BE INVESTMENT.

LET'S BE HONEST. THE WHOLE BACK GATE AREA IS REALLY CONCERNING TO ME. NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK BACK THERE. ROD IRON DIDN'T WORK.

>> I WILL BE HOUSING VALUABLE ART.

THAT REQUIRES VIGILANT SECURITY.

>> JUST SO I HAVE CLARITY TOO.

[00:35:01]

I THINK THIS IS GREAT IDEA. IT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMUNITY CAN DO THAT NOT EVERY COMMUNITY CAN DO.

IT'S DEFINITELY A DRAW. PART OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THESE TYPE OF PROGRAMS REHABILITATION, RESTORATION THOSE TYPE OF THINGS WHICH IS A MUSEUM. THIS BASICALLY FIRST OF ALL IS A MUSEUM. AND NOT JUST A ART GALLERY.

YOU CAN BUY STUFF FROM. THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.

THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING GOING INTO THIS.

FOLKS WILL EITHER PAY AN ADMISSION OR SOMETHING AND GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. THOSE ARE THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE ARE PART OF THE FPRA THAT -- THEY ARE THAT SPECIFIC BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT. IF THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THEN I'M ABSOLUTELY GOOD WITH IT.

>> I THINK DONE RIGHT LIT TELL THE STORY BEFORE HIGHWAYMEN CAN BE THE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE GO TO FIND THAT

SORT OF THING. >> IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? OR DOES SOMEONE WANT TO MAKE

MOTION SNM >> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE

LEASE AGREEMENT. >> SECOND.

>> CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

[c. Approval of Agreement for Purchase and Development of Fisherman's Wharf with Pierce 1 Marina, LLC.]

>> CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND DEVELOPMENT OF FISHERMAN WHARF WITH PIERCE 1 MARINA, LLC.

>> MR. MIMMS. YES, MA'AM.

WE HAVE OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SHYANNE HARNAGE.

WE HAVE A SLEW OF ITEMS TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.

>> I'M HAPPY TO BE BEFORE YOU.

THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

AS YOU KNOW WE EXTENDED THE NEGOTIATION PERIOD AND WE ARE HERE BEFORE YOU WITH AWESOME DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO MAKE THIS PROJECT HAPPEN. WE HAVE MEMBERS OF THE TEAM BEHIND ME. THEY ARE EXCITED TO BE HERE.

THE ATTORNEY OUR INTERIM CITY ATTORNEY HELPED US ON THE AGREEMENT AS WELL AS LEE DOBBINS.

NICK AND I WERE ON THE NEGOTIATION TEAM.

WE WANT TO HIGHLIGHT KEY POINTS OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

THIS ONE HAS SOME PURCHASE DOLLARS ON THE TABLE HERE.

JUST A LOOK BACK AT THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS AND HOW WE HAVE COME TO BE HERE TODAY.

YOU ALL WERE ACTUALLY THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE FOR THIS. YOU HAD TWO PRESENTATIONS FROM THE SHORT LIST FOR THESE RFP'S.

THAT TOOK PLACE ON MARCH 22ND.

WE HAD OUR FIRST NEGOTIATION MEETING BACK IN APRIL.

YOU APPROVED THE NEGOTIATION PERIOD EXTENSION IN JUNE AND WE ARE HERE AUGUST 10TH TO PRESENT THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT.

YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THIS FROM KINGS LANDING.

IT'S A LOT OF COLORS AND BUBBLES.

IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT AND WHAT WE ARE BOTH RESPONSIBLE TO DO.

I WILL KIND OF WALK THROUGH THIS.

9 BLUE'S RESPONSIBILITY OF PIERCE ONE.

YELLOW WILL BE THE CITY AND GREEN WILL BE BOTH OF US.

OF COURSE WE'RE ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO DO ALL OF THIS.

THE CONDITIONS TO CLOSING ARE AS FOLLOWS.

THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WILL BE 120 DAYS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE. THIS AGREEMENT WILL GO TO THE CITY COMMISSION IF APPROVED SINCE THERE'S A PORTION OF THE PROMPT OWNED BY THE CITY. EFFECTIVE DAY IF APPROVE ALREADY BE AFTER THAT MEETING.

THE APPROVAL PERIOD WILL BE 270 DAYS AFTER THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD ENDS. AND DURING THIS APPROVAL PERIOD WILL BE MOST OF THE NEXT STEPS.

UNDER YELLOW WHICH IS CITY RESPONSIBILITY THAT'S ALL OF OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL.

THAT'S THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT.

THE REZONING ANY ABANDONMENT EASEMENTS ALL THAT KIND OF GOOD STUFF THAT WE WILL HANDLE BECAUSE WE WILL STILL BE THE PROMPT OWNER DURING THIS TIME.

WE WILL THEN ALSO WORK AND GIVE OUR BEST EFFORT TO ENTER INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH ST. LUCIE COUNTY FOR THOSE SURROUNDING PARKING PROPERTIES.

WE HOPE TO GET INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM TO IMPROVE THOSE PROPERTIES. THAT WAY WE CAN WORK WITH SHELLIE ASSOCIATES TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO ALL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. THEN THE SITE PLAN SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED BY PIERCE ONE.

WE'RE THE PROPERTY OWNER. WE WILL GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. THEY WILL PROVIDE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION. THE APPROVAL FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE BOAT RAMP. WE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS I HAVELY. BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD, THE

[00:40:03]

BOAT RAMP WAS ORIGINALLY INCLUDED TO APPROXIMATELY TRAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT. THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE.

NOW THAT WE WORKED THROUGH KIND OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE SIZES AND HOW EVERYTHING WILL WORK.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE'S TWO MANY USES.

PIERCE ONE WILL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE RELOCATION COSTS. WHICH WILL BE MUTUALLY AGREEMENTED UPON WHERE WE WILL MOVE THE BOAT RAMP TO AND THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAYMENT OF THE FINED GRANT ST. LUCIE COUNTY RECEIVED TO RECONSTRUCT THE

BLACK PEARL BODY RAMP. >> THAT WILL BE HAPPENING AS WELL. AND THEN FISHERMAN'S WHARF THE STREET IMPROVEMENT PIERCE WILL ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH US TO MAKE THOSE HAPPEN. IF THERE ARE ANY GRANTS AVAILABLE THE CITY OR FPRE WOULD BE THE APPLICATION OF THAT. WE WOULD ENTER AGREEMENT FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS THERE. AND THEN KNOWING THAT ALL OF THE APPROVALS FROM ANY OTHER OUTSIDE AGENCIES STATE, FEDERAL, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT THE PROJECT THAT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PIERCE ONE. FINALLY THAT'S GOING TO LEAD TO US THE CLOSING OF THE PROPERTY.

WHICH WOULD HAPPEN 30 TO 60 DAYS AFTER ALL OF THOSE CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET. THE CLOSING CONVEYANCE WILL PURCHASE PRIZE OF $5 MILLION. THIS PURCHASE IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL. IT WAS A LEASE.

NOW WE HAVE 5 MILLION ON THE STABLE.

WE WILL REFTAIN THE PUBLIC WITH EASEMENT.

BOARDWALKS. AND MARINA BASIN WHICH IS MORE THAN WE HAVE FOR ACCESS TO THE WATERFRONT TODAY OVER THERE. WHAT ARE OUR PROTECTION.

HOW DO WE PROTECT OURSELVES AS THE CITY.

HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THIS PROJECT CAN HAPPEN? THERE WILL BE LANGUAGE IN THE DEED THAT WILL INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF REVERTER WHICH WILL GIVE US THE CHANCE TO GO IN AND RETAKE THE PROPERTY IF ALL OF THOSE OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT MET. THERE WILL BE A PERFORMANCE BOND THAT PIERCE WILL OBTAIN TO MAKE SURE THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED. AND THAT WILL EITHER EQUAL OR EXCEED THE COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION.

THAT COULD BE DONE BY THE TWO PHASES OR ALL TOGETHER.

AND THEN WE WILL BE RELEASING THE REVERTER UPON A THE CONSTRUCTION LOAN CLOSING. AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE ISSUANCE OF THAT PERFORMANCE BOND.

WE WILL THEN LOOK AT THE INCENTIVES.

THE FPRA WILL REBATE 50% OF THE TAX INCREMENT U.S.ED FROM THIS PROPERTY ONLY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT UNTIL 1 MILLION HAS BEEN REIMBURSED TO PIERCE.

THEY HAVE TO OF COURSE PAY ALL THAT UP FRONT.

THERE'S NOTHING COMING OUT-OF-POCKET.

IT'S THE TIP THAT GENERATED OFF OF THIS SITE.

IMPACT FEES. AS YOU ALL KNOW THERE'S CURRENTLY MORATORIUM ON THE COLLECTION OF IMPACT FEES RIGHT NOW. THAT MAY OR MAY NOT CONTINUE.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A FEW MONTHS.

WE HAVE AGREED TO WAVE ALL CITY IMPACT FEES WITH REGARD TO THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT. THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.

THE THEED A ENHANCED PUBLIC ACCESS. THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENT TO FISHERMAN'S WHARF WHICH IS THE STREET AND THEN IMPROVED PHENOMENON PARKING WHICH RIGHT NOW IS UNIMPROVED OVER IN THAT AREA. THIS WAS -- THIS IS KIND OF THE LAYOUT INCLUDED THE IN THE PROPOSAL.

THIS INCLUDES OUTSIDE PARCELS THAT ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

I'M JUST USE THING KIND OF AS GUIDELINE.

THIS DEFINITELY SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND PROBABLY WILL SEVERAL TIME. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE TWO PHASES. PHASE ONE WILL BE BOAT STORAGE BUILDING. THE REPAIR OF SEAWALL AND ALL THE PARKING AND RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THAT PHASE. THAT WOULD NEED TO BE COMMENCED WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF CLOSING.

THEY WILL HAVE TO START GOING ON PHASE ONE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF CLOSING ON THIS PROPERTY.

PHASE 2 BASICALLY EVERYTHING ELSE.

RESTAURANT RESIDENTIAL RETAIL SPACE AND RELATED FACT.

I DIDN'T INCLUDE THE STREET. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT WILL FALL. THAT CONSTRUCTION HAS TO COMMENCE WITHIN NINE MONTHS OF COMPLETION OF PHASE ONE.

THAT LEADS RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF DEVELOPMENT WITH FISHERMAN WHARF WITH PIERCE ONE LLC. QUESTIONS?

>> WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVE FROM SHELBY AND ASSOCIATES.

[00:45:04]

MR. LUTHER ROBINSON AT THE TABLE WITH US, WITH THE NEGOTIATION. THEY CAN ALSO ANSWER TECHNICAL OR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

>> COULD YOU GO BACK TO THE PHASES.

THE BOAT RAMP HAS TO BE PART OF RELOCATION OF THE BOAT

RAMP. >> THAT'S NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF PHASE. IF WE GO BACK TO OUR BUBBLE CHART. WE HAVE TO AGREE ON THE RELOCATION. THE PRICE OF THAT.

BEFORE WE CLOSE THE PROPERTY. WE'LL HAVE THE PLANS IN PLACE. POTENTIALLY HAVE ALREADY

STARTED THAT RELOCATION. >> IN THE PURCHASE, NOW THAT WE TALK ABOUT THE PURCHASE. I THINK IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE PUBLIC PARKING THAT CURRENTLY EXIST; IS THAT RIGHT? THE PUBLIC PARKING BESIDE OUR FEW TRAILER SPOTS AND WHAT NOT IS ACTUALLY ST. LUCIE COUNTY THAT UNIMPROVED. THAT'S NOT INCORPORATED IN

THIS AGREEMENT. >> I'M TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS NORTH OF WHAT THE PROPOSED BOAT HOUSE IS.

ARE YOU ASKING THAT AREA THERE?

>> IS THAT INCLUDED? >> IS THAT INCLUDE IN THE SALE OR WILL WE RETAIN OWNERSHIP.

>> THAT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THIS OVER HERE IS ACTUALLY A PORTION OF VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK.

IT'S ABOUT 14 ACRES. WE WOULD INCLUDE THAT IN THE SALE. IT'S ALL THREE PARCELS.

>> IN SPEAKING OF THE BUSINESS THAT EXIST THERE THE RESTAURANT THERE. IT'S STILL CREATE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PARKING AVAILABLE FOR THEM; RIGHT?

>> THEIR DEAL WITH EXISTING RESTAURANT I DON'T ANY IDEA OF. THAT WOULD DEFINITELY POSE A PROBLEM, I CAN SEE IF THE PARKING WAS REMOVED.

WE HOPE THEY CAN REMOTE AN AGREEMENT ON THAT.

ORIGINALLY WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE LEASE.

THE RAMPS PART OF THE DEAL. WE DIDN'T INVOLVE THAT.

NOW WE CHANGE THIS OUT. THIS BECOMES PART OF THE SALE PROPERTY TO ANOTHER END. IT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR ONE OF OUR BUSINESSES. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE

NEED TO TALK ABOUT. >> COMMISSIONER PERONA.

THE FPRA AND THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE ANOTHER PARTNER OF THIS DEAL WE CAN ONLY CONTROL THE PROPERTIES.

THAT WE OWN. ANY EXTERNAL PROPERTY WOULD BE RESPONSIBILITY ■OFSHELLIE AND ASSOCIATES OR PIERCE ONE.

WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE PROPERTIES WE OWN BY THE CITY

OF FT. PIERCE. >> I KNOW THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS A LITTLE BIT MORE. THIS IS THEOVER ALL CONCEPTUAL PLAN. WE ARE ONLY IN CONTROL OF

THREE PARCELS. >> I HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. WHAT IS OUR PROPERTY LOOKING AT THIS? WHAT IS IT?

>> BAKESLY ALL OF THIS BLUE. IT COMES DOWN LIKE THIS.

I WILL PULL IT UP FOR YOU ALL WHILE WE TALK TOW YOU CAN GET THE EXACT. THIS THE UPDATED.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS.

>> ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS PARCEL HERE.

THIS PARCEL HERE. AND THIS PARCEL.

THIS IS THAT PORTION OF VETERANS MEMORIAL.

THERE ARE THREE HERE. THIS WHERE 12-A ABUSY.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY UNAPPROVED PARKING AREA.

THAT WOULD BE -- I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR OUTSIDE PARCELS.

BUT WE'RE ONLY TALKING ABOUT THESE AT LEAST.

THE THIRD ONE DOWN AT THE BASE THERE YOU USE THE RAMP NOW AND YOU WANT TO PARK YOUR TRAILER OR GO INTO THE RESTAURANT. THAT IS NOW PART OF THE SALE

GOING TO PIERCE. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

ARE YOU DONE? >> I AM.

>> I THINK WE'RE NOT GETTING TOO FAR INTO THE WEEDS.

WE HAVE TO CONTROL WHAT WE CAN CONTROL.

IF WE HEAR FROM -- I WILL STAY IN MY LANE.

>> TODAY. >> BUIT WILL BE INTERESTING T HEAR. I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE OTHER

[00:50:03]

PARCELS. IT'S CONTINGENCIES ALL THE DOMINOES HAVE TO FALL INTO THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. SOME SOMETHINGS WE CAN'T CONTROL. THAT'S THE PRIVATE OWNERSHIP.

THIS OWNED BY INDIVIDUAL IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

THIS HAS COME TO TABLE. THAT'S UP TO THEM TO DO THE

NEGOTIATION ON THAT. >> I WILL STAY IN MY LANE.

>> THEY DID ASSURE US THEY CAN MAKE THIS PROJECT WORK WITH THOSE THREE PARCELS. IT MIGHT BE REVISED.

THERE'S ONE LESS RESTAURANT OR DIFFERENT MAKE UP.

THEY DID ASSURE US THAT THOSE THREE PARCELS THEY CAN MAKE

WORK. >> WHILE WE TALK ABOUT PARKING AND PROPERY LINES AND ET CETERA.

THERE'S A PHASE OF DUE DILIGENCE AND RESEARCH AND THIS IS A HISTORIC PARLIAMENT OF THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

ARE WE CLEAR ON ALL THE PROPERTY LINES THAT EXIST AND WHERE EVERYTHING LIES AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE OUR

BOUNDARIES ARE? >> ARE WE VERY CLEAR ON THAT?

>> WE WILL BE. >> OKAY.

WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S TALKED ABOUT AND CLEAR. THE BUSINESS THERE PHENOMENAL BUSINESS AS WE ALL KNOW. OR ELSE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE ORIGINAL PRESENTATION.

YOU KNOW, ATTEND OF THE DAY IF YOU LOOK AT ZONING AND OUR REGULATION WITHIN THE CITY. YOU KNOW THOSE BUSINESSES AND THOSE PARCELS HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES TO SOME DEGREE. AND THEN WE BRING IN THE HISTORIC COMPONENT THAT I WAS BRINGING UP A SECOND AGO.

THERE IS A COUNTY PARKING LOT.

THERE'S PUBLIC PARKING AVAILABLE.

FOLKS COMING DOWN TO WALK ON D.O.T. CALL IT OBSERVATION DECK THAT RUNS ALONG BELOW THE BRIDGE.

>> NOT FISHING. >> ACCORDING TO THEIR RULES.

THERE'S A LOT TO THIS. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AS A CITY COMMISSION, AS TPO. TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION WITHIN ST. LUCIE THE IMPROVEMENT OF INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. WE TALKED ABOUT ST. LOUIS YOU COUNTY. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

WHAT AMENITIES ARE OFFERED THERE.

THERE'S PARKING ACROSS THE STREET.

THAT'S ALSO PUBLICLY OWN; RIGHT? I BELIEVE IT'S STILL IN THEIR HAND.

IT'S THE NEXT PARCEL NORTH. THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY HERE. THOSE ARE THINGS FOR US TO CONSIDER. WE HAVE TO STAY IN OUR LANE.

YOU ARE WISE WHEN YOU SAY THAT.

BUT, ALSO, LOOK AT IT FROM A LEVEL THAT MAKES GOOD PLANNING SENSE, TOO. FOR THIS ORGANIZATION.

I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY HERE.

THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD, THE SEAWALL TALK TO ME ABOUT THE

SEAWALL REPAIRS. >> THAT IS 100% THE

RESPONSIBILITY OF PIERCE. >> SEAWALL LOCATED WHERE?

>> WHERE IS THE SEA WALL? >> JUST SO I GET A

REPRESENTATION. >> EVERYTHING IN FRONT OF THE

PROPERTY. >> YES, THAT'S THE SEAWALL.

PART OF IT WAS -- PART OF IT HAS BEEN WORKED ON.

>> IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR NOW. >> COMMISSIONER PERONA.

>> ORIGINALLY WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

AND WE ALL GOT REALLY EXCITED.

AND IT ALL ABOUT A LEASE THE PART OF THAT I LIKED IS THAT CITIZENS OF FT. PIERCE GOT TO RETAIN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY GOING INTO THE FUTURE.

I UNDERSTAND I'M GOING TO GUESS THAT IT WAS FINANCIAL REASONS BAROING MONEY AND STUFF THROUGH THAT AND COLLATERALIZATION THAT CAUSED PROBLEM.

I'M GUESSING. THAT TURNED IT ON THE SIDE.

FIVE MILLION DOLLARS A LOT OF MONEY IN 2021.

HOW MUCH IS IT IN 2050? WE'RE A CITY.

WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT IT THAT WAY.

I KEEP THINKING TO MYSELF UNLESS WE CAN PUT THAT MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE THAT DOES PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH RIGHT THERE, I'M REALLY NOT LIKING THE SALE PART OF IT AT ALL.

UNLESS WE CAN DO THAT. I WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW UP FRONT THAT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I WAS I REALLY LIKE THE LEASE STRUCTURE. BECAUSE OF THE OWNERSHIP RETAINING OWNERSHIP. UNLESS WE'RE ABLE TO TAKE THAT MONEY AND AT LEAST PARTIALLY INVEST IT IN SOME ORSOLUTION THAT WILL LAST THOSE YEARS AND BE STILL MAINTAINED AN ASSET FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY NOT LIKING THAT A WHOLE LOT.

[00:55:10]

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD BRING THAT UP.

WE TALKED ABOUT JIM BRIDGE BEFORE AND THE LEASE YOU AND I HAVE HAD DISCUSSION ON THIS ABOUT WATERFRONT PROPERTIES.

HERE'S WHERE IT IS FOR ME. IT'S A MASS BALANCE THING.

IF YOU LOOK IT FROM THE LEASE OWNERSHIP.

THE REVENUE COMING IN OR THE VALUE INCREASING AND THE TAXABLE VALUE INCREASING WHICH ALSO BRINGS THE REVENUE TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE. IF THOSE NUMBERS ARE ONE IN THE SAME. OR ONE IS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER. THEN OBVIOUSLY I WILL WANT TO CHOOSE THE HIGHER OF THE TWO. BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT A LEASE AGREEMENT WOULD OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WOULD NOT CREATE AS MUCH REVENUE. JUST IN MY EXPERIENCE IN LOOKING AT LEASES HOW THEY ARE STRUCTURED.

LOOK AT THE DETERMINE DURATION.

WE TALK ABOUT TEN OR 20 YEARS.

WE HAD CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.

THE DEVELOPER OWNER POTENTIAL OWNER HAS TO GET THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT. WHICH MEAN MORE LEASE EDGE TENNION. GOING FROM 20 YEAR TO FIVE OR TEN YEAR TYPE EXTENSIONS. I DON'T THINK WE'RE MAKING A LOT OF REVENUE ON THOSE PROPERTIES.

TO SPY RESPOND TO THAT. ALL THAT IS TRUE.

I LIKE IT. BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT I STILL NEED TO KNOW WHERE THAT FUNDING IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STILL HAVE THOSE ASSETS IN LINE AS WE GO FORWARD. BECAUSE, AGAIN YOU ARE TALKING AS IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE CORPORATION THAT YOU KNOW YOU WILL MANAGE FOR 20, 30, 40 YEARS.

I'M TALKING INDEFINITELY. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT OWNING WATERFRONT PROPERTY IN CITY OF FT. PIERCE AND OWNING IT AND LET THE LEASE COME AND GO.

THERE MAY BE BIGGER AND BETTER NEED OR LEASE 30 OR 40 YEARS FROM NOW. SOUNDS FUNNY.

BUT THAT TIME WILL COME. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR TO US TAKE THAT INVESTMENT AND KIND OF WISH IT I WAS LIKE 2 MILLION THIS WOULD BE REALLY EASY.

YOU ADDED THAT BIGGER NUMBER ON IT.

>> YOU WISH IT WAS -- I WOULD.

THEN I WILL HAVE AN EASY TIME.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. YOU HAVE TO RESPEBLTH THAT NUMBER. AGAIN, WE CAN TAKE IT.

WE HAVE PARKING STRUCTURES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE HAVE LITTLE GYM BRIDGE. ALL THOSE THINGS.

I WOULD HAVE MORE COMFORT LEVEL TO KNOW THAT I'VE TAKEN THAT ASSETS, MOVED THE PROCEEDS FROM THAT TO SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE CAN BUILD AND HAVE THAT CREATE A SOLUTION THAT MAY GO FORWARD IN TIME OVER A LONG PERIOD.

TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THAT ASSET.

RATHER THAN THE DOLLARS. THE DOLLARS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

SMN GOOD. WHAT WE HAVE AS FOOT HOLD ON THAT TO BE ABLE TO HOLD AND RETAIN THE PROPERTY IS MORE IMPORTANT IN THE LONG FOR THE LONG-TERM.

>> YOUR TURN. >>

>> COMMISSIONER I WAS KIND OF THERE WITH YOU ON A CERTAIN PART. I WILL TELL YOU WHERE I GOT COMFORT WITH THIS. THESE IMMEDIATE DOLLARS I THINK ALSO CANNOT ONLY BE REINVESTED IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SOME PROJECT THAT WE FACE IMMEDIATELY THAT WE NEED TO BEGIN TO ADDRESS. YOU KNOW MY THING THE TAXABLE VALUE THIS BRINGS. AND I'M LOOKING AT PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO THIS THAT ARE ACROSS U.S. ONE.

THIS WILL SPUR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT HERE TO BRING THE PROPERTIES BACK ONLINE.

FOR TAXABLE VALUE TO THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

I WAS THERE. I LOOK AT THIS COMPARED OTHER PROJECT WE LOOK AT IN THIS NEAR VICINITY THAT WILL GIVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETAIN CITY OWNERSHIP OF WATERWAY.

I THINK WE WILL HAVE A FAIR BALANCE.

I BELIEVE IN HAVING TEST PILOT.

THIS IS A SAFE WAY OF LOOKING AT HOW DO WE GET THIS BACK ONLINE. LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE SPURS THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

I'M LOOKING AT PARCELS HERE WITH AS I GO TO THAT AREA KNOW WHAT'S OVER THERE. I THINK THIS IS GOING TO LOOK TOTALLY DIFFERENT FOR THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE.

AND I THINK THIS IS A SMALL WAY OF GETTING INTO IT TO SPUR ECONOMIC GROWTH. WE'VE THAT WE OWN OVER HERE THAT QUITE FRANKLY NOT ON THE TAX ROLL.

WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT THAT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET BETTER USE TO DEVELOP THAT STUFF WE HAVE OVER THERE.

[01:00:03]

ALONG THAT LINE THAT WILL CONNECT TO THIS.

I THINK WE'VE GOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.

I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE. WHERE I GOT COMFORTABLE.

MY CONCERN WAS YOU KNOW WE HAVE THIS TODAY.

RIGHT? AND OBVIOUSLY IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THINGS.

I WON'T NAME WHAT IT IS. THESE LITTLE STORMS THAT WE HAVE FROM TIME TO TIME. KNOCK ON WOOD.

BUT MY CONCERN WAS IF WE HAD DODGE TO THIS WHAT HAPPENS IN

THE FUTURE; RIGHT? >> TODAY WE HAVE THIS.

IF THAT GOES AWAY DUE TO NATURE.

WHAT COMES BEYOND THAT? RIGHT? I WOULD WANT THE SAME TYPE OF ACTIVITY.

EL DON'T WANT IT TO BE ALTERNATE THAT POINT WE LOST CONTROL AND IT BECOMES A CONDO OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE.

THAT WASN'T THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF WHAT WE ARE IMPROVING TO DAY. THAT WAS MY CONCERN.

THIS REVERTER CLAUSE HELPS ME WITH THAT IF I'M NOT

MISTAKEN. >> OR DID -- HELP ME WALK THROUGH THIS AND UNDERSTAND THAT REVERTER CLAUSE.

THAT'S A CONCERN OF MINE. >> MADAM CHAIR, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON THE REVERTER WILL PROTECT US UP UNTIL THEY GET THE CONSTRUCTION LOAN. AND THE PERFORMANCE BOND.

IN THAT EXAMPLE OF A HURRICANE.

>> YOU SAID IT, I DIDN'T. .

>> DIDN'T SAY IT. >> WHATEVER.

>> THE THING. IT'S REAL.

IT'S THE REAL THING. I DON'T THINK WOULD COME INTO PLAY. THIS MAKE SURE THE PROJECT GETS OFF THE GROUND. THEY GET THE FINANCING.

THEY ENSURE THE CONTRACTOR WILL DO IT WITH THE PERFORMANCE BOND. THIS WILL GET BUILT.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER IT'S BUILT IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL; RIGHT,

TONYA? >> I AGREE.

>> ACCEPT FORESIGHT PLAN AND ZONING.

OF COURSE, ALL OF THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT. >> ARE WE THROUGH WITH DISCUSSION? READY.

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SAY ANYTHING YET.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM HIM NOW THAT'S FINE.

>> I DON'T WANT TO JUMP IN AHEAD.

I COULD SHED LIGHT ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE BEING

SAID. >> SHED LIGHT.

>> I THINK YOU KNOW COMMISSIONER JOHNSON MY ANSWER THE QUESTION. AS PART OF APPROVAL PROCESS, WE WOULD BE GETTING A SIGHT PLAN APPROVAL.

I EXPECT A PD TYPE APPROVAL. PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TYPE APPROVAL. SIMILAR TO WHAT REDOING WITH KINGS LANDING. IT WOULD BE SPECIFIC LAYING OUT EXACTLY WHAT WILL BE BUILT THERE.

YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER WHAT GETS APPROVE AS PART OF APPROVAL PROCESS.

THERE WERE IF ONE OF INSPEAKABLE THINGS HAPPEN TO THE PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE, SOMEONE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND CHAINS THE USE OF IT WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS AGAIN. THE INSURANCE WOULD HAVE TO BE USED BASICALLY BUILD WHAT'S THERE ALREADY APPROVED. UNLESS THEY COME BACK TO GET ANOTHER APPROVAL. .

>> UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AT THIS.

THE ISSUE WITH THE LEESZ THAT WE WERE RUNNING INTO IS IN ORDER TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION FRNSING JUST LIKE YOU ARE SAYING YOU TYPICALLY WOULD MORTGAGE A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN ORDER TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION FINANCING.

AND THAEERE'S REALLY NO WAY T SKIN THE CAT TO PROTECT THE CITY SUFFICIENTLY TO SATISFY YOUR STAFF.

I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE TRYING TO DO THEIR BEST TO PROTECT THE CITY. IF A BANK HAS A MORTGAGE ON THE PROPERTY, THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THAT PROPERTY IF THE LOAN ISN'T REPAID. THEY ARE FIRST IN LINE AHEAD OF THE CITY. THERE'S WAYS WE COULD DO THAT TO MINIMIZE THE TIME FRAME AND SO ON.

THAT WAS THE ESSENTIAL ISSUE. IT JUST BECOME CLEANER AND EASIER TO PROTECT THE CITY AND ULTIMATELY STAFFS MORE COMFORTABLE AND WE ARE PRESENTING BOTH OPTION DURING THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS. WE HAD AN LLI THAT HAD SALE OPTION. LEASE OPTION.

WE KIND OF LAID OUT IN GREAT DETAIL HOW EACH WOULD WORK.

WHEN STAFF SAW BOTH OF THOSE THEY ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW SALE OPTION REALLY PROTECTS THE CITY A LOT BETTER AND GETS THE GOALS INTO A BETTER WAY. BUT IN TERMS OF THE BENEFIT FROM IT. CERTAINLY YOU GUYS CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN TERMS OF WHAT DO WITH THAT FIVE MILLION. AND INVEST IT IN ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT COULD GROW IN THE SAME WAY.

ONE THIS IS BILLED. WE TALK ABOUT 30 MILLION WORTH OF INVESTMENT. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S TAXABLE

[01:05:04]

VALUE. THERE'S JOB.

THE ECONOMICS OF IT THAT ARE GENERATED.

PLUS THE INTANGIBLE THAT YOU SPEAK OF SUCH AN IMPORTANT CORNER IN THE CITY WHERE IT CAN ENCOURAGE FURTHER INVE INVESTMENT LIKE DIRECTOR AND KINGS LANDING. I HOPE THAT HELPS OUT.

I WILL SIT BACK DOWN. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY WAS I HAVE GREAT ANGST ABOUT SELLING THE PROPERTY ALSO. WHEN I WAS FIRST ELECTED MAYOR, THERE WAS A DEAL IN PROPOSED TO SWAP SOME PROPERTY. CAN YOU REMEMBER THAT?

>> SWAP WITH FISHERMAN'S YEAH.

I WAS NOT FOR THE SWAP THEN. I WANT TO RETAIN OWNISHIP OF FISHERMAN'S WHARF. I WASN'T FOR THE SWAP.

THIS PAINS ME TO SELL THIS WATERFRONT PROPERTY.

BUT I SAY THAT -- THE 5 MILLION.

I KNOW THAT THE INFLUX OF 5 MILLION EVERYBODY UP HERE SAYING I KNOW WHAT WE WILL SPEND THAT MONEY ON.

NO I KNOW WHAT WE WILL SPEND IT ON.

I'M WITH YOU. WE ARE QUESTIONING TO HAVE TO BE VERY SMART ABOUT WHAT WE DO WITH THAT MONEY.

VERY SMART. AND I DON'T WANT IT FRITTERED AWAY OR SPENT FRIVOLOUSLY. WE WILL HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY SERIOUS AND STRATEGIC ABOUT WHAT WE DO WITH THAT.

AND I'M WITH YOU THERE. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING. WE OWN THE PROPERTY, THE WATERFRONT PROPERTY FROM SEAWAY DRIVE ALL THE WAY MARINA SQUARE? RIGHT? THAT'S ALL FT. PIERCE PROPERTY.

THAT'S ALL WATERFRONT PROPERTY.

AND IT IS NOT -- WE'RE NOT EARNING TAXES ON IT ACCEPT HOBBS LANDING. WE GET MONEY FROM REVENUE AND MONEY FROM THAT. IT'S NOT BRINGING TAX REVENUE. WE'VE DONE THAT I THINK BECAUSE WE WANT OUR CITIZENS TO ENJOY THE WATER FRONT.

AND THE BACKUS GALLERY IS THERE.

7 GABLES IS THERE. THE FT. PIERCE YACHT CLUB.

AND SO THAT'S ALL PUBLIC ACCESS PROPERTY.

THAT WE'VE WHEN YOU CROSS SEAWAY THEN WE ALWAYS WANTED THIS TO BE THE BUFFER. AS MUCH AS IT PAINS ME.

IT'S ALMOST SENTIMENTAL. YOU CAN'T HAVE SENTIMENT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THESE THINGS. I THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BRING US -- GOING TO BE GAME CHANGER AND I THINK IT'S WHAT

WE NEED. >> THANKS YOU FOR THAT MAYOR.

I WAS PART OF THAT. IN FACT.

WHEN WE WERE GOING TO TRADE FISHERMAN'S WHARF.

I WAS THE ONLY -- I WAS THE ONLY ONE DISSENTING ON THE WHOLE ISSUE. I'M THINKING WHAT IS EVERYBODY DOING. YOU KNOW THEY WERE ALL INVOLVED WITH THIS. WE WERE TAKING ON TRADE THESE OLD HOMES ON INDIAN RIVER DRIVE AND STRAIGHT FOR FISHERMAN'S WHARF. WHAT'S IS WRONG WITH THIS.

UNTIL I JOINED STAFF AND WE WENT OVER FOR THE DUE DILIGENCE AND TOOK PICTURES OF LIKE 150 PICTURES OF WHAT WE WERE GOING TO GET IN THE TRADE.

FINALLY THE COMMISSION CAME TO ITS REASON AND FINALLY SAID IT'S NOT A GOOD DEAL. OTHERWISE WE WOULDN'T BE TALKING ABOUT THIS. I'M A LITTLE BIT EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO IT. THAT'S NOT WHAT IS GEARING THIS. REALLY IT'S NOT ON THAT SIDE OF THE DIEIST I'M CONCERNED ABOUT.

THIS SIDE IN SAME THICK YOU SAID I UNDERSTAND THE TAX BENEFIT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE BENEFITS THAT THIS DEVELOP WILL BRING TO THE CITY.

I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT COMMENCERATE WITH THE PROPERTY THAT WE ARE OFFERING FOR SALE. THAT'S ALL I CAN CARE ABOUT.

WHAT IS COMMISERATE TO YOU. IF WE INVEST IN SOLUTION ALONG-TERM SOLUTION THAT WE HAVE.

I SEE IT IN MY MIND. WHEN YOU SAY WE GO DOWN THE LINE. I LOOK AT PARKING STRUCTURE HERE IN FT. PIERCE THAT FIXES ALL THOSE PROBLEMS INCLUDING

[01:10:01]

WHAT'S GOING UP AND DOWN THE STREET.

KINGS LANDING. FISHERMAN'S WHARF.

I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS. WHAT EVER IT IS.

WE MAKE THAT SOFT COMMITMENT WITH ONE ANOTHER.

SO I CAN GET PAST THAT. WE CAN GO ON WITH IT.

>> I'M REALLY TO MAKE A HARD COMMITMENT.

>> IT'S CAPITAL. WE SAT HERE YESTERDAY AND FACED A MAC TRUCK COMING INTO OUR FACE.

WE WILL HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS BUT WE ALL SAT HERE IN THE SAME SEATS YESTERDAY AND GOT PRESENTED WITH THE PROBLEM THAT WE CANNOT DUCK AND HIDE FROM.

THIS WILL ONLY ADD TO IT. THIS WILL BRING MORE PEOPLE AND WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AND I THINK THIS IS WAY TO GET MORE PEOPLE. WE WANT MORE PEOPLE.

WE WANT MORE PEOPLE. I WANTED TO SPILL OVER ACROSS U.S. ONE. AND GO UP THAT HILL.

AND MOTIVATE WHAT'S HIS NAME OVER THERE.

DON KING. >> HOPEFULLY THEY LISTEN THAT WE WANT THEM TO DEVELOP THE AREA.

I WILL MAKE THE HARD COMMITMENT.

I WOULD ASK THE PUBLIC TO HELD US ACCOUNTABLE.

>> TO BUILD ON THAT. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MOMENTUM. YOU'RE RIGHT COMMISSIONER.

REMEMBER WHAT HAT WE WARE TODAY IS FPRA.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT TOLD US EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.

IT'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID AND WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR. IT'S FOR REDEVELOPMENT.

IT'S FOR OPPORTUNITIES. IT'S FOR US COMMITTING SITTING TO HERE TODAY IF WE MAKE THIS DECISION TO REINVEST THE MONEY TO BENEFIT THE FPRA AREA.

MY HEART IS THERE. THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

WATCHING THE MEETING FROM THIS CHAIR YESTERDAY TALKING ABOUT PARKING ISSUES AND YOU KNOW DOWNTOWN MOVEMENT ISSUES. AND MAKING THIS HUB ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HUB. THIS IS PART OF THERE.

FROM MY SEAT. ABSOLUTELY A PART OF THIS.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR MR. DOBBINS IF I COULD.

>> I DON'T WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR.

WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS. I DON'T WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR ANYMORE. DO YOU HAVE AGREEMENT WITH FIRMS OUTSIDE YOU AND YOUR CLIENT OR DOES YOUR CLIENT HAVE AGREEMENTS THAT I NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT.

I WORK IN CONSTRUCTION. AND ENGINEERING TYPE THINGS.

IS THERE ANY AGREEMENTS OUTSIDE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP.

THAT I NEED TO BE MADE AWARE. NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND.

>> ANYTHING I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT AS FAR AS CONFLICT OF

INTEREST? >> NO THAT I'M AWARE OF.

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THE RECORD. THAT, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.

>> IT'S TRANSPARENT. >> BECAUSE I HAVE A FAN CLUB THAT COMES UP AND SENDS ME LOVE LETTERS ALL THE TIME.

AND THEY COME AND SPEAK AT THE PODIUM TOO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. >> IT'S A CHANGE, COMMISSIONER. I HAD TO CHANGE MY GEARS.

BUT HERE'S THE OTHER ELEMENT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SAY IT. BECAUSE I'M NOW POLITICKING KDOT. THAT SEAWAY DRIVE.

WE HAVE TO PLAN FOR REPLACEMENT OF THAT BRIDGE.

IT'S 50 YEARS OLD. WE HAVE TO START PLANNING THAT. WE HAVE TO START LOOKING AT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IN MY COURSERY OBSERVATION AND REVIEW IS THAT THE ONLY PLACE WE WOULD REALLY EVER REPLACE A BRIDGE LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH NORTH END IS TO GO TO THE SOUTH OF THE PP BRIDGE.

YOU WILL NOT BUILD IT BACK WHERE IT USED TO BE.

IT DOESN'T FIT. ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. YOU HAVE HISTORIC MUSEUM.

AND THE AQUARIUM. THERE'S SOME THINGS IN THE WAY. ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE SOMETHING IN THE WAY HOWEVER WE TRY TO MOVE THAT SOMETHING. THAT'S REALLY AN EASY SOLUTION. IN MY MIND I START THINKING OF WHERE WE WILL POSITION A NEW BRIDGE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS. WHICH IS WHAT LIT TAKE TO START PLANNING NOW. AND THEN REPLACE IT.

IT WILL BE 70-YEAR-OLD BRIDGE BY THAT TIME.

[01:15:05]

AT LEAST WE'RE THINKING ABOUT IT AND PLANNING FOR IT.

BY THE WAY, NOW WE'RE THE BRIDGE ABUTTMENT IN THE LEFT TOP CORNER WE WILL GAIN MORE WATERFRONT.

IT WILL BE IN THE PUBLIC'S HANDS.

IT'S IN D.O.T. RIGHT-OF-WAY. IN AN EXCHANGE LIKE WE'VE DONE BEFORE. WE WILL GAME MORE WATERFRONT PROPERTY. SOMEHOW.

>> IT'S REALLY JUST AN EXCHANGE.

WE'RE NOT GAINING A NET GAME. IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

THINGS TO CONSIDER. THINGS THAT I'VE CONSIDERED

AS I LOOKED AT THIS. >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? MR. MIMMS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHIME IN

NOW? >> SURE.

I DO WANT TO OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU AS THE FPRA TO WORK WITH THE CITY COMMISSION STRATEGICALLY PLANNING THE UTILIZATION OF THE RECEIVABLES IF WE DO RECEIVE THEM IF WE MOVE FORWARD, PASS THE DUE DILIGENCE AND APPROVAL PERIOD.

I DO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE AN UPDATE THAT WAS JUST DONE FPRA PLAN IN 2020, WE HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WE HAVE A PARKING OUT LOOK AND WE ALSO HAVE CERTAIN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT WE ALL WILL LIKE TO SEE.

I THINK THAT IS GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN JUST A MEETING.

I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A WORKSHOP ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO ADD THIS MONEY AS PART OF THAT.

THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IS EXACTLY WHAT COMMISSIONER JOHNSON STATED. ALL ABOUT REDEVELOPMENT.

COUPLE OF YEARS BACK WE SOLD THE AN OLD PLANT RADICAL COSMETICS MOVED IN AND CREATED JOB.

THEY CREATED A MORES A S A THETCALLY ATTRACTIVE IN THAT CORRIDOR. WE DID WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. WE SPURRED THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND THIS WILL DO THE SAME THING. FPRA OWN THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE QUITE A CHUNK OF MONEY.

THEY HAVE A MISSION AND OBJECTIVES WITH WHICH IT NEEDS TO COMPLETE. I DO BELIEVE THAT WE CAN HAVE WORKSHOP. DURING THE DUE DILL GANGS AND APPROVAL PERIOD AND WE TYPICALLY GET TOGETHER AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH YEAR AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS IN GREATER DETAIL. I WASN'T GOING TO SAY THAT UNTIL YOU DID.

FPRA OWES THE CITY OF FT. PIERCE MORE THAN 5 MILLION. THEN IS CITY OF FT. PIERCE CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT. WE HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY.

MOST OF THOSE LOANS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOW THERE'S NO ONE ON THE DIOCESE ANY MORE THAT MADE THEM.

ZERO. >> RIGHT.

>> BUT IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE IT DOES OPEN UP THE DOOR.

>> I WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING ABOUT THIS SALE AND THEN WE'LL I'M DONE ABOUT THE SALE.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THE PROPOSER PROPOSED IT.

FOR LEASING. AND SO THAT WAS ONE OF MY MAIN REASONS FOR APPROVING IT.

ALTHOUGH I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.

THAT'S MY MAIN REASON TO HAVE TO SWITCH GEARS TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GET USED TO IT. I TOOK MR. MIMM SEVERAL PHONE CALLS WITH ME. TO GET USED TO IT.

AND AND SO I APPRECIATE THE EXPLANATION FROM MR. HARNAGE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SALE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PROTECT THE CITY. THE SALE AS OPPOSED TO LEASE.

IT'S -- IT IS NOT WITHOUT QUALMS THAT WE'RE GIVING UP THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. WHAT I EXPECT.

I EXPECT THIS TO BE REALLY EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAY IT WILL BE THE PROPOSER, AND THIS DYNAMITE -- I WOULD APPRECIATE NO MORE SURPRISES. THAT'S WHAT I WILL SAY.

VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT. >> YES, SIR.

>> I WILL SAY THIS, THOUGH. THE WAY I WAS ABLE TO KIND OF DIGEST AND SWALLOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

WE AUTHORIZE STAFF TO GO THROUGH AND START NEGOTIATING. THE TOOL AND THE EXPERIENCE AND THEN THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THEIR NEGOTIATION HAPPENED TO

[01:20:01]

BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE THOUGHT.

WE AUTHORIZED THEM TO DO THAT.

IT'S TOUGH. IT WAS TOUGH.

AT THE SAME TIME YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO EXPECT THAT STAFF WILL BE PROTECTIVE OF THE CITY.

THEY WILL BE NIMBLE. THEY WILL BE FORTHRIGHT.

THEY WILL BE YOU KNOW LAYING IT ON THE TABLE SAYING NO WHEN NO IS NEEDED AND SAYING YES WHEN YES IS ALSO AN

OPPORTUNITY. >> YOU ARE RIGHT.

>> I WOULD LIKE FUTURE RFP IN THE PROPOSER SAID WE WILL DO THIS AND DO THIS AND DO THIS. I'M SORT OF LITERAL PERSON.

I BELIEVE YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU SAY.

WHEN IT GETS SWITCHED AND I JUST I KNOW THAT IT'S EASY TO PROMISE AND SOMETIMES VERY DIFFICULT TO DELIVER.

WE'VE HAD A DISCUSSION. DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM ANYBODY FROM THE PROPOSING GROUP?

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF ANY OF THE --

>> I THINK WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AN UPDATE.

THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

I HAVEN'T TAKEN LIGHT TO ANYTHING WE HAVE

CONSTERNATION ABOUT IT. >> WHO IS YOUR SPOKESMAN?

>> WE HAVE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS.

>> YOU'RE CORRECT. WE HAVE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS. BEFORE I FORGET.

I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR THEIR HARD WORK ON THIS.

WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME MEETING IN PERSON AND ON THE PHONE WITH SHYANNE AND NICK. I APPRECIATE THEIR HARD WORK ON THIS. WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF ITERATION PUTTING OUT THE TERMS. I WANT TO THANK YOUR CITY ATTORNEY MISS EARLY.

SHE WAS GREAT IN WORKING ON THE ACTUAL AGREEMENT AND GETTING IT WRAPPED UP UNDER A SHORT TIME FRAME.

I APPRECIATE ALL THEIR HELP. THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS. THAT'S PART OF WHY WE STRUCTURED THE AGREEMENT IN THE WAY THAT WE HAVE.

WE HAVE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD WHICH GIVES US TIME TO GO OUT THERE AND FIGURE OUT THE BASICS.

WE WANT TO LOOK AT SURVEYING THE PROPERTY.

ENVIRONMENTAL. NICK DOESN'T LIKE FOR ME TO

TALK ABOUT SUBMERGED LANDS. >> LUCKY TO SUBMERGE LANDS AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO ISSUES THERE.

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF -- >> THEY'VE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME. THE SUBMERGED LANDS.

A LONG TIME. >> LOOK AT OLD MAPS THE SHORELINE IS SO FAR FROM WHERE IT USED TO BE.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES THERE AND THE STATE DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK THROUGH THAT.

THAT'S PART OF THE DUE DILIGENCE.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF PARTNERS THAT WE HAVE WORK WITH. AS SHYANNE WAS LYING OUT.

THERE'S VARIOUS STEPS THAT HAVE TO GET ADDRESSED DURING THE APPROVAL PERIOD. THEN WE HAVE A CHECKLIST OF THINGS THE CITY NEEDS TO DO. AND LONG CHECKLIST OF THINGS WE NEED THE DO. THAT INCLUDES NOT JUST THE NORMAL APPROVAL PROCESS BUT THINGS LIKE INVESTIGATING THE RELOCATION OF THE BOAT RAMP. WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY WHERE IT WILL GO. IDENTIFY HOW IT WILL COST TO MOVE IT. AND HOW MUCH HAS TO GET PAID BACK ON THE FINE GRANT. WITH RESPECT TO THE PARKING AREAS. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT ENTERING INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTY WITH RESPECT TO PARKING. WE NEED TO BE TALKING TO THE OWNER OF 12-A BUOY ABOUT WHETHER THAT COULD BE INCORPORATED INTO IT. AND THAT PROPERTY TO NORTH.

COULD THOSE BE INCORPORATED OR STICKING WITH THAT S-SHAPED FOOTPRINT IN WORKING AROUND THAT.

OF COURSE, FOR THE PARTIES WORKING ON THE SITE PLAN.

THAT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT. BECAUSE WE NEED TO FIGURE THOSE THINGS OUT BEFORE THEY CAN REALLY PUT PEN TO PAPER ON THE SITE PLAN. WE'VE BUILT ENOUGH TIME INTO OUR TIME LINE TO ALLOW FOR THAT.

ALL THAT TIME THAT WAS DURING COVID.

CAN YOU COMMENT ON THAT AT ALL?

I'M IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH LINDSEY SCHOOL OF THE ARTS CINDY BRIDGES. OUR AGREEMENT IS FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE BUILDING. THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO RELY ON. THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO RAISE MONEY. COVID, OF COURSE, STALLED A LOT OF THAT WITH FUND-RAISING EFFORTS.

THEY ARE DOING A BUILDUP THE BLOCK MONTHLY EVENT OUT THERE. SHE'S ACTIVELY APPLYING FOR STATE GRANTS. SHE JUST RECENTLY SUBMITTED ONE. SHE GOT A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM ST. LUCIE COUNTY. I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. ALL I CAN SAY THEY WORKING HARD TO MAKE THE PROJECT HAPPEN.

NEXT IS THE APPROVAL AWARDED BY 2021-026 FOR SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY AT 318N17TH STREET TO HIGHEST RANKED RESPONDER BREGO CONSTRUCTION. IS WE WILL WALK THROUGH THE PROERS AND SEEK APPROVAL FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL SALE -- I'M SORRY AUTHORIZATION TO ANSWER INTO NEGOTIATION.

I'M SORRY. IF I CONFUSE THINGS.

I WILL BE QUIET. >> WE'LL GET HIM OFF THIS.

RESCUE MR. MIMMS. >> BEFORE WE BEGIN.

SOMETHING IS AT ME ABOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

I JUST HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION.

I KNOW IN SOME OF THE CLAUSES WE PUT IN WHERE ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN AND BASED ON SURGICAL PRUS.

IS THAT STILL IN EFFECT. I SEE THE SAME CONSTRUCTION COMPANY WITH THIS. AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE CAPACITY TO ACT ON WHAT WE DO AND NOT JUST TAKING STUFF THERE. THAT'S A CONCERN OF MINE.

[01:35:07]

IT'S A DEEP CONCERN. >> UNDERSTOOD.

YES, SIR. >> YOU COULD EXPLAIN THAT FOR US. I WON'T SAY I'M ASSUMING.

STAFF USUALLY RECOMMENDS TO US WITH THE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CONFIDENCE. BUT IT'S GOOD TO QUESTION IT.

PROCEED. >> I CAN START BY GENERALLY SAYING WE ARE RECEIVING A LOT OF REPEAT BIDS.

WE ARE SEEING SOME COPY AND PASTE TYPE BIDS WHERE THEY JUST FIVE PROPERTIES OUT THERE.

I WILL BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY HOME THIS IS THE FLOOR PLAN.

THIS IS FACED. HERE'S MY PROOF OF FUNDS.

THAT'S CUSTOM MARE. AND WE SEE THAT WITH FPRA AND CITY OWNED PROPERTY. HOWEVER, WE ARE SEEING THAT WE CAN DO THIS PROCESS MORE EFFICIENTLY AND WE CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION UP FRONT AND WE CAN REQUIRE A LOT MORE INFORMATION TO BE RECEIVED.

WE ARE FOLLOWING THE OLD PAPER BID PROCESS CURRENTLY.

AND WE'RE COMBINING ALL THE PROPERTIES FROM WORKING ON FOR THOSE LONG. THAT THERE'S A WAY TO STREAMLINE THIS PROCESS. WE'RE ACTUALLY COMPLETELY REDOING OUR BID FORM. WE WILL MAKE THEM ELECTRONIC.

THEY ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT SPECIFIC INFORMATION.

THEY CAN'T SUBMIT PROPOSAL WITHOUT THAT INFORMATION.

THAT WILL COMMISSIONER HELP ALLEVIATE THE LOW SCORES.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED BIDS THAT I'M AWARE OF. I'VE SEEN THEIR WORK KNOW THEY ARE VERY COMPETENT IN DOING THE PROJECT.

THEY PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. AND WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM ZERO IN CERTAIN CRITERIA IN TO SPEAK TO THE DEED RESTRICTIONS. WE HAVE NEW OUTSIDE COUNCIL TO HELP US WITH ALL THE CLOSINGS.

TONYA AND I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

THEY ARE GOING TO HELP US THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS. IT SHOULD BE SEAMLESS.

AS MR. MIMMS MENTIONED. I WILL RUN THROUGH THEM QUICKLY. THEY ARE THE SAME PROPOSAL

FOR EACH. >> WE'VE COME THROUGH PANDEMIC. STILL LINGERING OUT THERE.

YOU KNOW WE'RE HAVING REDO SOME OF THE THINGS IN AGREEMENT BECAUSE OF THAT. AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND WE'RE JUST BUILDING THAT ANTICIPATION AND THEN WE'RE STUCK BACK WITH THIS.

WE HAVE VACANT PROPERTY NOT ON TAX ROLE.

ET CETERA. I'M SURE STAFF IS DOING DUE DILIGENCE. THAT'S CONCERNING TO ME.

WHEN WE LOOK THAT. >> I UNDERSTAND.

I'M IN TOTAL AGREENS. WE HAD NO PROTECTION.

NOW WE A LITTLE BIT OF PROTECTION.

BECAUSE AS I MENTIONED WITH THE SURPLUS PROPERTIES.

ONE TIME INFUSION OF 9,000 OF AN EXAMPLE NOT WHAT WE ARE AFTER. WE WANT TO RESTORE THE NEIGHBORHOODS. WE'RE ALSO EXPLORING OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR INCENTIVE WE'RE WORKING ON AND PARTNERING WITH MAYBE HABITAT IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS JUST ONE SMALL PIECE OF OUR IN-FILL REDEVELOP. I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK.

HOW DO PEOPLE -- HOW DO THEY KNOW -- HOW DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS IN THE WORKS? THIS IS UP FOR SALE?

>> NUMBER ONE WE PUT A SIGN OUT.

>> ON THE PROMPT? >> YES IT SAYS SURPLUS PROPERTIES. HERE'S THE WEB SITE.

HONESTLY A LOT OF NEIGHBORS. SOMETIMES THE SIGN IS NOT THERE WHEN WE GO BACK. ANYWAY THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

JUST VISUALLY SEEING IT. THIS IS ADVERTISED IN THE NEWSPAPER TO CIRCULATIONS. WE HAVE SUBSCRIBERS A THAT CAN GO ON AND ADD PHONE NUMBER AND E-MAIL ADDRESS.

THEY CAN BE FOIFED. >> WHERE IS IT CITY OF FT.

PIERCE, THEN UNDER BID POSTING.

>> ONCE YOU GET THERE DOES IT SAY SURPLUS PROPERTY?

>> IF THERE'S SOMETHING AVAILABLE.

IF THERE'S NOTHING AVAILABLE. I WILL SHOW YOU REALLY BRIEFLY. NICK, DON'T GET MAD.

WHEN THE BID IS BEING ADVERTISED, SIT ON THE ACTUAL

[01:40:01]

BANNER. >> THIS OUR ECONOMIC WEB PAGE. IF YOU GO TO MOVE HERE AND SURPLUS PROPERTY. THIS ISSEN IF THERE'S ISN'T SOMETHING OUT NO. SOME INFORMATION OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. THE EVALUATION CRITERIA.

AND THESE ARE THE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE GONE OUT SO FAR.

THIS WILL BE OUR NEXT ROUND. THAT'S UNDER CHOOSE

FT. PIERCE. >> GO BACK TO THAT.

THERE'S NO HYPER LINK THERE. THERE'S NOTHING AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. IT WOULD TAKE YOU TO THE BID POSING PAGE IF THERE'S SOMETHING OUT.

THERE AREN'T ANY NOW. I WOULD TAKE YOU BACK.

WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION THAT

WE'RE LOOKING FOR. >> WE'RE ALSO CONSIDERING INSTEAD OF ASKING THEM TO COME UP WITH TIME LINE OF JUST ALL MATCALLY REQUIRING THAT WHATEVER YOU BILL YOU WILL DO SO WITHIN 24 MONTHS. WE PUT THE PRESSURE ON THE BEGINNING. THIS OUR EXPECTATION.

AND WE DON'T EVALUATE BASED ON TIME FRAME THAT YOU MAY SAY YOU WILL BUILD SOMETHING. SIX MONTHS AND THAT MAY NOT BE REALISTIC. THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE WE'RE

LOOKING AT. >> FOR 318 NORTH 17TH STREET.

THIS PROPERTY 0.17 ACRE. ZONED R-4.

MARKET VALUE ABOUT 4600. AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST USED FOR PARKING FOR THE NEIGHBORS.

WE RECEIVED FIVE BIDS FOR THIS.

HIGHEST BEING BREGO CONSTRUCTION AT 9,000 AND TOTAL SCORE OF 1 #. AS YOU KNOW AND I WILL SAY THIS ONCE. FUTURE UTILIZATION IS WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH PROPERTY.

SINGLE FAMILY. MULTIFAMILY.

RENTAL. RESALE, WILL YOU BE THE OWNER

OCCUPY? >> WHAT'S THE TIME LINE AS WE MENTIONED FOR CONSTRUCTION? WHAT'S THE ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR THAT? IS IT GOING TO SPUR SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERSHIP? IS IT GOING TO BE LOW INCOME.

AFFORDABLE. WHAT WILL THAT DO FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD? AND THEN NARRATIVE.

THIS IS WHERE IF THEY DEVELOPER THEY EXPLAIN THEIR EXPERIENCE. WHAT HAVE YOU DEVELOPED HERE.

HOW MANY PROJECT. SHOW US PICTURES.

IF YOU OWNER OCCUPANT OR NEIGHBOR EXPLAIN TO US WHY YOU WANT THAT PROPERTY. SOMETIMES THAT'S HELPFUL.

THAT'S HOW WE COME TO EVALUATION.

FOR BREGO. THEY WILL BE CONSTRUCTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR RESALE.

THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATH. THEY PLAN TO EXCLUSIVE MARKET THE PROPERTY AS THEY HAVE WITH OTHERS FOR FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS FOR THE FIRST 90 DAYS.

ESTIMATED VALUE OF IMPROVEMENT 130,000 AND THEY PLAN TO DO COMPLETE THE PROJECT WITHIN 12 TO 18 MONTHS. THIS IS LANGUAGE THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE DEED RESTRICTION.

WE'LL PROBABLY BUMP THAT UP TO 24 MONTHS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHERS. THAT'S THE TIME FRAME THAT THEY HAVE. OUR RECOMMENDATION AWARD THE BID FOR 318 NORTH 17TH STREET TO BREGO.

>> THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. THEN INDIVIDUAL MOTION.

[f. Approval to award Bid no. 2021-026 for Sale of Surplus Property at 427 N 16th Street, identified by Parcel ID: 2409-506-0038-000-9 to highest ranked responder, Brego Construction.]

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF? >> I HAVE A COMMENT ACTUALLY.

WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR TIME.

IS SURPLUS PROPERTY. WE DONE ABOUT 20 OR SO.

>> ABOUT THAT. >> MAYBE JUST A COMMENT IS THAT I I THINK WE NEED TO KIND OF OVERALL LOOK THAT.

FROM THE FPRA. I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO SEE THE IMPACT OF WHAT THIS IS. I LOOK AT SINGLE FAMILY HOMES COMING ON 50-FOOT LOTS ALTERNATE PRICE POINT THAT I DON'T KNOW IF CAN BE SUSTAINED.

I'M CONCERNED WITH THAT. I THINK WE EL WOULD LIKE TO LOOK ALTERNATE THAT FROM TOTALITY ASPECT YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING AFTER FIRST-TIME HOME BUYERS.

THAT'S GREAT. WE WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

WE GO AT PRICE POINT 130,000, I THINK.

WHAT I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN IS WE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF PLACES BUILT AND NO ONE MOVING INTO THEM WHICH CREATES A ISSUE OF VANDALISM AND OTHER THINGS.
