I THINK SOMEONE IS COMING FORWARD.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOUR ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES AND MISS COX WILL GIVE YOU A 10-SECOND WARNING.

>> ABSOLUTELY PURE GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR, AND BOARD MEMBERS. MY NAME IS CANARY GARDNER, FOR THE RECORD IN MY ADDRESS, I LIVE IN FORT PIERCE FLORIDA, REPRESENTING NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER PROJECT.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL TODAY.

THE PROJECT IS SUBSTANTIALLY ADVANCED, THE FIRST FLOOR IS COMPLETE. IN THE HVAC COORDINATION.

IN THE SECOND FLOOR, IS A FIRE COMPLIANCE AND THE SCOPE IS VERY DEFINED AND READY TO PROCEED. AT THIS STAGE, THE ONLY -- FULL IMPLEMENTATION AND -- HVAC AND ROOF REPAIR COMPONENTS ARE BOTH CRITICAL PATH ITEMS. I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR, WHILE THERE'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT TIME FOR THIS BUILDING CLOSURE DURING CONSTRUCTION, SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY CONTINUED.

WE IMPLEMENTED A CONTINUOUS PROCESS FROM A PLAN TO ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMING.

HOWEVER THERE'S ONE THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE CLARITY BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. OUR TEAM PROVIDED CONTRACT QUOTES FOR THE HVAC AND ROOF REPAIRS.

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THOSE QUOTES CAN BE RELIED UPON BY THE

[00:15:04]

FPRA FOR THE PROJECT DECISIONS INVOLVING PUBLIC FUNDS.

THIS RAISED COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS UNDER CHA CHAPTER 168, AUTHORITY. CHAPTER 287, GOVERNING STANDARDS, CHAPTER 112, GOVERNING ETHICS IN MISUSE OF PUBLIC POSITION. TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THIS PROJECT, ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, WE ARE REQUESTING A WRITTEN LEGAL OPINION FROM THE FPRA COUNSEL.

CLOSING, THIS PROJECT IS READY, THE COMMUNITY IS WAITING, EVERY SET WE NEED -- WE NEED CLARITY TO MOVE FORWARD THE RIGHT WAY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

>> ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO. >> GOOD EVENING.

2207 NORTH 51ST STREET, FORT PIERCE FLORIDA.

COMMISSIONERS, PUBLIC WITH RESPECT.

I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE SURVIVORS OF MURDER VICTIMS SUPPORT GROUP. WE HAVE BEEN IN OPERATION SINCE 2019 AND WE PROVIDE PEER SUPPORT FOR SURVIVAL FAMILIES OF MURDERED VICTIMS, INC. IS INTEGRAL TO THE MISSION TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TRAUMA HEALING, SURVIVAL ACTIVITIES, AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO THOSE FAMILIES. WE REALLY NEED THIS BUILDING OPEN SO WE CAN DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

WE'VE BEEN ON HOLD AND NOT BEING ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY HELP THE FAMILIES SURVIVAL FAMILIES AND MURDER VICTIMS SO WE HOPE THAT TODAY, WE GET SOME INFORMATION ON WHEN THE BUILDING WILL OPEN BACK UP BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED IT.

THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

>> GOOD EVENING CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS.

DELORES HOGAN JOHNSON 42,919TH STREET.

I'VE WATCHED THAT BUILDING FROM WHEN IT WAS THE SCHOOL BOARD.

I'VE WORKED IN THAT BUILDING ALSO BUT I VIEW IT AS A GEM THAT CONTINUES AND NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED AND FINISHED.

IT HAS SO MUCH PROMISE AND I WOULD HUMBLY ASK AND REQUEST THAT EACH OF YOU IN THE CITY MANAGER ALSO DO A ONE ON ONE TOUR OF THE AREA SO THAT YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE AND THAT THAT IS YET TO BE DONE AND AS MISS GARDNER SAID, THE WORK HAS NOT ENDED BECAUSE SHE'S WORKING THROUGH A CHURCH AND OTHER ENTITIES TO CONTINUE TO SERVE BUT THAT'S A JEWEL AND I LOOK AT IT FROM SOUTH AVENUE TO NORTH AVENUE LITERALLY AS AN ISLAND THAT CAN BE BEAUTIFULLY DEVELOPED AND OF SERVICE TO EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTY, LET ALONE THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. SO I DO HOPE YOU GIVE IT ALL THE DUE CONSIDERATION AND AGAIN, REALLY, PLEASE DO I ONE ON ONE

VISIT THERE WITH HER. >> THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING. MADAM MAYOR THE CHAIRMAN AND ALL OF YOU SEATED HERE TODAY. I AM DOCTOR PINKY HENNELLY WITH NEW LIFE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH AND NEW LIFE CHANGING INFORMATION RESOURCE CENTER WHO HAS A SUBSIDIARY OF...

I'M HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE INC CENTER AS WELL. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2021, I DID NOT HAVE THE RESOURCE CENTER AT THE TIME.

WE WERE WORKING ON AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THE FORT PIERCE POLICE DEPARTMENT ON A GRANT FOR GUN VIOLENCE.

WE HAVE MET IN JULY, WE HAD MET IN AUGUST, BUT IN SEPTEMBER WE HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING? SO GOD LAID IT UPON MY HEART TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE RESOURCE CENTER, SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE

[00:20:01]

INC CENTER CAME ABOUT. I WAS THERE WHEN THEY HAD THE OPEN HOUSE. I WAS THERE WHEN THERE WERE OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT WERE HELD THERE, BEAUTIFUL FACILITY.

I DON'T KNOW THE INS AND OUTS BUT WHATEVER THE CITY CAN DO TO GET THIS PARTICULAR ENTITY UP AND RUNNING, I ASK YOU IN FACT I BEG YOU TO DO IT BECAUSE I SAW THE POTENTIAL, A FEW MONTHS AGO, SEVEN OR EIGHT MONTHS AGO, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR THE DIVISION AND THE PLANS THAT ARE THERE ARE JUST OUTSTANDING.

IT WOULD BE SAD PACKET WOULD BE VERY WELL SAD THAT THIS PARTICULAR ENTITY IS NOT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN OUR COMMUNITY TO MAKE SUCH A VAST DIFFERENCE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE.

I PRAY THAT WHATEVER CAN BE DONE WOULD BE DONE.

THERE'S BEEN A GREAT TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT IN THAT BUILDING AND I ASK YOU TO TRULY CONSIDER WHATEVER CAN BE DONE, I SAW IT FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN IT WAS NOTHING.

I SAW IT WHEN SHE TRANSFERRED INTO A VERY BEAUTIFUL FACILITY AND I WOULD JUST HATE TO SEE THAT IT'S ALL FOR NAUGHT.

>> THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE?

[7. CONSENT AGENDA]

ALL RIGHT, WE'LL MOVE ON. >> THE NEXT ITEM IS THE CONSENT

AGENDA. >> IS THERE ANY ITEM THAT ANY BOARD MEMBER WOULD LIKE TO PULL IF NOT I WILL ENTERTAIN A

MOTION. >> APPROVAL.

>> SECOND. >> THE MOTION AND SECOND CALL ROLL PLEASE COMMISSIONER BRODERICK, COMMISSIONER

[B. Sunrise Event Center – Discussion and direction regarding Interior Build-Out: Architectural and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Design Construction Documents attached]

DZADOVSKY, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, CHAIRWOMAN HUDSON.

>> WE HAVE THE SUNRISE EVENT CENTER DIRECTION REGARDING THE INTERIOR BUILD OUT ARCHITECTURAL AND MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING DESIGN CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE ATTACHED TO THIS

AGENDA. >> DO YOU HAVE A LEAD IN FOR

THIS? >> NO I DON'T.

>> MISS GARCIA. >> GOOD EVENING CHAIRWOMAN HUDSON AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I WILL START THE PRESENTATION AND GIVE YOU A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE SUNRISE EVENT CENTER AND I WILL INTRODUCE ABC ARCHITECTS SO THEY CAN GO OVER THE ENTIRE PROJECT SO THE SUNRISE EVENT CENTER IS LOCATED IN THE FOURTH FLOOR OF OUR PARKING GARAGE SUNRISE CENTER.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 9000 SQUARE FEET.

THE EVENT CENTER WE REQUESTED INCLUDE A BANQUET HALL FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 GUESTS OR FOUR MEETING ROOMS. ONE KITCHEN LOUNGE AREA, ROOMS AND RESTROOMS. SO BACK LAST YEAR APRIL 2025 THE FRA APPROVED THE SPECIFIC AUTHORIZATION FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PLANS FOR THIS EVENT VENUE.

SEPTEMBER 2025, ADC ARCHITECTS DESIGN COLLABORATIVE PRESENTED THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PLAN FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE UNIT AND THE FPR BOARD DIRECTED STAFF TO PROCEED WITH OBTAINING THE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND PLUMBING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AS WELL AS THE FINAL DESIGN. TODAY, ADC HAS FINALIZED THE DESIGN PLANS, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND THEY'RE HERE TO PRESENT THE PLANS.

AND WE WILL BRING DANNY UP AND HE WILL PROVIDE US HIS

PRESENTATION. >> WELCOME.

INTRODUCE YOURSELVES FOR THE RECORD PLEASE, SIR.

>> MY NAME IS DANIEL... >> SAY THAT AGAIN PLEASE.

>> MY NAME IS DANIEL DIAZ FROM ARCHITECTS DESIGN COLLABORATIVE.

BEFORE WE BEGIN, JUST TO INTRODUCE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE TEAM, WE HAVE JOCELYN ON DESIGN FROM ARCHITECTS DESIGN COLLABORATIVE, RAOUL CAMPO, PRINCIPAL AS WELL FROM ARCHITECTS DESIGN COLLABORATIVE AND WE HAVE OUR MEP MEMBER NICK LOPEZ FROM ELLIE ENGINEERING. IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AFTER FOR THE PRESENTATION FOR Q&A TO COME UP, HE WILL BE HERE TO HELP US ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

BEFORE WE BEGIN I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO -- WE PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PLANS FOR THE FORT PIERCE EVENT CENTER.

SINCE THEN WE'VE ADVANCED TO 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

TONIGHT WE WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE KEY UPDATES.

WE MADE AND SHARE THE FINAL RENDERINGS TO REFLECT THOSE CHANGES. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SITE AS MIRIAM HAS DISCUSSED, THE LOCATION.

WE HAVE THE FOURTH FLOOR NEXT TO THIS BUILDING THAT'S OVERSEEING

[00:25:04]

THE HORIZON AND SURROUNDING CONTEXT OF THE WATERFRONT.

THIS IS WHAT WE BUILT OUT AND AS YOU SEE IN THE NEXT SLIDE, HOW THE EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE.

AS YOU MAY RECALL DURING THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN WE IDENTIFIED THE NEED OF FURTHER STUDY OF THE EXISTING SYSTEMS INCLUDING HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS IN REGARDS TO ROOF DRAINS AND FIRE LINES OVERHEAD. THESE CONSTRAINTS LIMITED US AND THE INITIAL DESIGN CONCEPTS, WE HAD TO CAREFULLY ADJUST THE LAYOUT AND CEILING HEIGHT TO WORK WITHIN THESE LIMITATIONS WHILE ACHIEVING THE BEST OUT OUTCOME.

NEXT SLIDE IS THE FLOOR PLAN. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS SLIDE THE OVERALL FLOOR PLAN HASN'T CHANGED MUCH SINCE OUR ORIGINAL CONCEPT. WE MADE SMALL, MINOR TWEAKS, ONE ADJUSTMENT WAS REDUCTION OF THE BAR AFTER FURTHER COORDINATION WITH THE FOOD SERVICE EQUIPMENT. WE DETERMINED THE SMALLER BAR SIZE IS STILL FULLY SUFFICIENT TO SERVE THE BANQUET HALL EFFECTIVELY. NEXT SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE THE LAYOUTS, YOU'LL SEE VARIOUS LAYOUTS THAT ARE FLEXIBLE AND SPACE AND CAN SUPPORT CONFERENCE SETUPS, CLASSROOMS AND LECTURE HALL ARRANGEMENTS AND FULL BANQUET HALL CONFIGURATIONS.

THE SPACE CAN BE DIVIDED FOR SMALLER EVENTS OR FULLY OPEN FOR LARGER GATHERINGS WITH THE USE OF THE MOVABLE WALLS.

WE ALSO ADDED SEVERAL IMPORTANT DETAILS IN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR EXAMPLE, WE INCORPORATED THE ACOUSTICAL CURTAINS ALONG THE FACADE TO HELP IMPROVE SOUND REDUCTION BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE SPACE.

IN THE CORRIDOR AREA, WE FURTHER REFINED THE CEILING DESIGN AND ACOUSTICAL BAFFLES TO HELP DAMPEN NOISE AND CREATE A MORE COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS DUE TO SITE CONDITIONS AND HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS AND THOSE BUILDING SYSTEMS, ROOF DRAINS AND FIRE LINES. THE WALL WRAP REMAINED UNCHANGED, THE CONCEPT REMAINS THE SAME, WE INCLUDED AN ALLOWANCE FOR ARTWORK DESIGN AND INSTALLATION BASED ON CORONATION WE HAD WORKED WITH IN PAST PROJECTS.

THE WALL WRAP WOULD BE A STORYTELLING FEATURE THAT CELEBRATES THE HISTORY WHILE EDUCATING VISITORS IN A SUBTLE VISUAL ENGAGING WAY CAN I HIGHLIGHT KEY MOMENTS SUCH AS ARRIVAL OF THE FLORIDA EAST COAST RAILROAD WHICH CAN BE SEEN FROM THE VENUE. LASTLY WE INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS A FURNITURE PACKAGE.

WE INCLUDED FURNITURE SELECTIONS FROM THE LOBBY AREA AND THE CORRIDOR AREA AS WELL AS TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR THE CONFERENCE AND BANQUET HALL SPACES. NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO THE FINAL RENDERINGS. JOCELYN WILL WALK THROUGH THE RENDERINGS WHICH WILL BRING THESE UPDATES TO LIFE.

>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE MY NAME IS JOCELYN AND I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE RENDERINGS. THE RENDERINGS WILL ILLUSTRATE THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE FROM THE RECEPTION AREA TO THE BANQUET

HALL. >> COULD YOU MOVE YOUR MIC A

LITTLE CLOSER. >> SO THE RENDERINGS WILL ILLUSTRATE THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE FROM THE RECEPTION AREA TO THE BANQUET HALL, THE DESIGN EMPHASIZES WARM, INVITING MATERIALS, CLEAR ORGANIZATION OF THE SPACES.

AND COHESIVE VISUAL IDENTITY. OUR GOAL WITH THE PROJECT WAS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FEELS BOTH ELEVATED AND WELCOMING FOR A WIDE RANGE OF EVENTS. SO WE'D LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO THE FUTURE FOURTH FLOOR OF THE SUNRISE.

WE FIND OURSELVES IN THE LOBBY SPACE AS YOU CAN SEE TO THE RIGHT, THE WINDOW YOU CAN SEE AN OVERVIEW OF THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. YOU'RE WELCOME BY THE RECEPTIONIST WHICH WILL GUIDE YOU TO THE FOUR EITHER DIVIDED

[00:30:02]

OR COMPLETELY OPEN MEETING ROOMS AND TO SEE, YOU CAN SEE THE FURNITURE FOR ANY WAITING LOUNGE ALSO AS WELL TO THE LEFT, YOU'LL BEGIN TO SEE THE BEGINNING OF THE CUSTOM WALL WRAP THAT DENNY HAD PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. AND AS WE CONTINUE TO WALK THROUGH THE SPACE, WE LAND INTO THE CORRIDOR WHERE THE WALL WRAP WILL CONTINUE ON TO THE REST OF THE HALLWAY INTO THE BAR AREA, SHOWING THAT HISTORIC TIMELINE OF EVENTS.

ONE OF THE MAJOR UPDATES THAT WAS MADE IN THIS HALLWAY WAS THE CEILING WHERE DUE TO THE RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY WE HAD PROPOSED A SOFFIT ON BOTH EDGES OF THE CORRIDOR THOUGH WE DID CHANGE TO AN EXPOSED CEILING WHICH ACTUALLY CREATED A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DESIGN TO MAKE THE SPACE MUCH GRANDER THAN WHAT IT WOULD PREVIOUSLY HAVE BEEN. THE BAFFLES ALSO AS NOTED FROM THE PAST PRESENTATION, IT SIMULATES THE RAILROADS AND SERVES AS BOTH AN ESTHETIC VISUAL AND ALSO AS A SOUND BARRIER TO THE MEETING ROOM TO THE RIGHT.

AS WE CONTINUE ON TO THE RESTROOMS KAHAKU DECIDED TO USE TILE FOR BOTH THE FLOORS AND FOR THE WALLS TO CREATE EASE OF MAINTENANCE AS WELL AND TO OVERALL TIE BACK INTO THE PALETTE OF THE DESIGN. AS WE MOVE ON TO THE BAR, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE WALL WRAP WILL END.

THIS IS AN IMAGE OF ONE OF THE ORIGINAL SALOONS OF FORT PIERCE AND WE CREATED THIS BAR AS SORT OF AN AMENITY TO THOSE THAT ARE USING THE MEETING ROOMS FOR WHENEVER THEY'RE STILL -- THIS IS AN AMENITY THAT WILL BE UTILIZED BY ALL GUESTS.

AND TO CONTINUE ON INTO THE BANQUET HALL, THIS IMAGE RIGHT HERE AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE THE SOUND ACOUSTIC CURTAINS AND AS WELL WE CAN SEE THAT THIS ROOM IS ACTUALLY WITH ALL OF THE OPERABLE PARTITIONS PUSHED BACK COMPLETELY SO IT'S ONE ENTIRE LARGE SPACE WHICH AGAIN CAN BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR DIFFERENT SPACES. AND WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO% LEAVE YOU WITH THIS LAST IMAGE TO SHOW THE POTENTIAL OF WHAT THE FUTURE EVENTS MAY HOLD WITHIN FORT PIERCE AND THIS EVENT CENTER. MISSING A SLIDE BUT IN SUMMARY, THE SUMMARIZED EVENT CENTER IS ENVISIONED AS A FLEXIBLE COMMUNITY FOCUSED VENUE THAT SUPPORTS EVENTS, STRENGTHENS LOCAL IDENTITY AND CONTRIBUTES TO THE CONTRIBUTE -- CONTINUED GROWTH OF DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE. WE BELIEVE THIS DESIGN CREATES A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR BOTH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND LONG TERM VALUE. SO THANK YOU AND WE'RE HAPPY TO

ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU.

DOES THAT COMPLETE YOUR PRESENTATION? ALL RIGHT. BOARD MEMBERS GOT QUESTIONS?

COMMENTS? >> MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I THINK WE SAW SOME OF THE THINGS AND NUANCES THAT YOU ILLUSTRATED DURING THE ACOUSTICS AND WHATEVER. THE DESIGN STILL REMAINS PRETTY MUCH INTACT BUT WHAT WE SAW BEFORE.

AND I THINK THE VISION OF EITHER A LARGE SPACE IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO DO A WEDDING RECEPTION OR WHATEVER IS FINE OR A CORPORATE GALA OF SOME TYPE OR OUR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO HOST CORPORATE MEETINGS DOWNTOWN SO I THINK THE VISION IS STILL PRETTY MUCH THERE. THIS IS -- THE SPACE COULD ACCOMMODATE -- WHAT'S THE TOTAL CAPACITY OF THIS -- IS IT 200? 240? SO ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PLACE ON THE WATER, RIGHT? FOR THE MOST PART.

BUT OF COURSE CACTUS IS ELEVATED, ON THE FOURTH FLOOR, VISUALS ARE THERE AND SO I'M STILL VERY PLEASED WITH IT AND IT TAKES A SPACE THAT WE CAN NOW GENERATE REVENUE AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THERE'S A NEED FOR IT AND AS LONG AS WE GET THE PRICING RIGHT AND WE FIGURE THAT OUT, WE GO FROM THERE SO I'M

PLEASED WITH IT. >> ANYONE ELSE?

>> COMMISSIONER BRODERICK. >> A COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS.

[00:35:02]

WE WILL UNPACK IT AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THE BID INCLUDES WORKING DRAWINGS TO SECURE BIDS, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> THIS IS THE 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS.

>> SO NO OTHER DOCUMENTS NEEDED UNLESS A CHANGE ORDER HAS COME IN THAT WE HAVE TO SUBMIT TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT I'M

ASSUMING? >> FOR DESIGN SERVICES? IT'S INCLUDED IN RESPONSES TO ANY COMMENTS RECENTLY.

>> YOURSERVICE AS OUTLINED HERE DOES IT INCLUDE ANY OVERSIGHT?

>> I HAVE TO LOOK BACK IN THE CONTRACT, I'M NOT SURE THOUGH I

BELIEVE IT'S NOT INCLUDED. >> I DON'T THINK IT IS BASED ON

THE PRICE PLAN. >> I DON'T THINK IT IS.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION. >> FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE NEEDED TO TAKE THIS OUT JUST...

>> I THINK IT'S COMPLETE. >> I BELIEVE SO TOO.

THANK YOU. >> MADAM CHAIR.

>> YES. >> THANK YOU.

THIS IS -- FIRST -- ACTUALLY SECOND -- I. HAD A MOMENT WITH STAFF AND -- PICTURE -- I. HAVE HICCUPS TONIGHT.

I LOST IT ON MY COMPUTER, THE BACKUP, WHAT WAS THE PRICE POINT

TO SECURE THE FINISHED PRODUCT? >> CONSTRUCTION COSTS? ORIGINALLY GOING BACK TO OUR SCHEMATIC DESIGN, WE WERE GETTING SUBMITS FOR 216 PER SQUARE FOOT BUT IT WAS EQUATING TO 1.6 AND AFTER OUR COMPLETION OF THE 100% WE SEND IT OUT TO A COUPLE FRIENDLY CONTRACTORS AND WE RECEIVED 288 UPDATE PER

SQUARE FOOT. >> 288.

SO MY LEARNED EXPERT IN BUILDING -- COMMISSIONER BRODERICK, HE RAISED A POINT YESTERDAY THAT CONCERNS ME TONIGHT AND THAT IS THAT THE ENTIRE GARAGE NEEDS A MILLION DOLLARS OF REPAIR SO MY CONCERN IS SPENDING ADDITIONAL MONEY TO ADD MORE WEIGHT TO THIS AND THERE'S ENGINEERS IN THE ROOM, ARCHITECTS IN THE ROOM, IS THE BUILDING ABLE TO ACCEPT THAT, THE OTHER IS, WHAT COMES FIRST, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? WE NEED TO DO THE REPAIR ON THE BUILDING BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE GOES FORWARD.

IS THERE A TIMELINE SET FOR THIS? I APOLOGIZE THAT I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS NOW BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY WHENEVER IT CAME THROUGH BEFORE BUT WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO, NUMBER ONE, WE KNOW WE HAVE THIS -- ISSUES THAT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.

I'M NOT PUTTING OUT THERE THAT THAT'S THE CASE.

IT'S NOT. BUT WE DO KNOW THERE ARE ISSUES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, IT TOOK SOME INTEREST IN STRUCTURES THAT ARE THREE STORIES OR HIGHER WITH THAT TYPE OF ENGINEERING CONCERN. SO THESE ARE JUST CONCERNS THAT I HAVE THAT I THINK WE NEED TO ANSWER AND THEY MAY HAVE BEEN ANSWERED BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH A MILLION DOLLARS AND A MINIMUM, IT'S INDICATED AND WE MAY SEE WORSE DAMAGE ONCE WE GET INTO THERE BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO SET THAT UP FIRST BEFORE WE EVEN MOVE FORWARD. IS THERE A TIMELINE THAT'S BEING PRESENTED TO THE FPR SO FAR OR ARE WE STILL IN THE

INVESTIGATION STAGE? >> WE WERE SIMPLY -- WE HAD A VACANT SPACE WE CONTRACTED TO SEE WHAT THE POSSIBILITIES COULD BE AND I THINK THIS HELPS -- IT SOUNDS LIKE A COMPLETE PACKAGE IF WE PUT OUT AN RFP WHICH WE DIDN'T HAVE SO WE GOT THEM TO PUT TOGETHER THIS PACKET AND SEND IT OUT AT LEAST WE CAN SEND THE SPECS OUT TO A BUILDER. THAT'S WHERE I MET WITH AN

UNDERSTANDING. >> I'M A LITTLE BEHIND.

>> IT'S WORSE THAN THAT. THE ROOF LEAKS IN THE SPACE TOO SO WE HAVE ROOFING ISSUES, THE BUILDING IS 22 YEARS OLD GIVE OR

TAKE. >> IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE REROOFED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO IN AND PUT $288 PER SQUARE FOOT OF IMPROVEMENTS IN HERE AND HAVE THE HEAD TABLE ON ROOF LINK ON IT DURING THAT WEDDING RECEPTION. THERE WAS MORE WORK IN THIS SPACE THAN MEETS THE EYE CURRENTLY.

>> AND BEYOND THAT, I THINK THAT WE HAVEN'T ESTABLISHED THE BUSINESS PLAN, THE WORK PLAN. WHO WILL OPERATE IT? HOW IS IT GOING TO BE -- THIS IS A MAJOR UNDERTAKING IF IT WERE TO BE FPR A STACK OR STAFF OR IF IT WERE TO BE AN OPERATOR THAT WE -- WE HAVEN'T -- WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT BUT WE HAVEN'T

ESTABLISHED THAT. >> A FOLLOW UP QUESTION.

>> GO AHEAD. >> DID YOU ASK WHAT THE PRICE POINT WAS FOR THE SET OF PLANS TO BE DONE?

[00:40:02]

>> IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, I KNOW IT'S -- DO YOU KNOW THE

PRICE OFFHAND? >> OF WHAT?

>> OF THE PACKAGE'S SERVICES? >> OF WHAT WE PROVIDED 100%?

>> YES. >> I CAN'T SAY THE EXACT POINT THOUGH I WOULD SAY IT WAS 90 SOMETHING.

96. >> TIMELINE TO GET THE -- FOUR MONTHS. MY SUGGESTION HERE IS THAT WITH A FOUR MONTH LEAD TIME TO GET THE PLANS DONE GIVES US FOUR MONTHS TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT THE REST OF THE LOGISTICS OF THIS, HAVING THE PLANS READY IS VERY ADVANTAGEOUS SO $100,000 ON PLANS IN THE SPACE THAT MAY NOT BE BUILT OUT AS COSTLY.

I THINK IN LIGHT OF WHAT WE LEARNED YESTERDAY ABOUT THE GARAGE, AND THINGS ARE STARTING TO COME INTO CONTEXT NOW, I THINK WE WILL GET THE PRIORITY RATE, FIGURING OUT WHAT'S FIRST.

LIKE YOU COMMISSIONER, TO LEARN ABOUT THE GARAGE AND HEAR FROM ENGINEERING, STRUCTURING, WE HAVE ENGINEERING HERE, THEY CAN WEIGH IN ON WHAT YOU ASK AS FAR AS CAPACITY AND WEIGHT AND ALL THAT'S IMPORTANT, THAT'S PUBLIC SAFETY AND SO BUT WHAT WE STARTED THIS PROJECT, SIX MONTHS EIGHT MONTHS AGO, WE WERE LOOKING AT A SPACE THAT WAS THERE AND WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, HOW DO WE GET IT TO MARKET BECAUSE -- THE DEMAND WE WERE RECEIVING ABOUT -- IT'S NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR EVENT SPACE AND HOW COULD WE TAKE THIS BEAUTIFUL VENUE THAT WAS SITTING VACANT RIGHT NOW AND TURN IT INTO AN OPPORTUNITY AS WELL AS PROVIDING SPACE FROM SOME CORPORATE PEOPLE DOWNTOWN, BRINGING IN A SMALL CONTINGENT OF PEOPLE FOR MEETING SPACE AND THAT COULD BE REALIZED THERE TOO SO I THINK RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT TO PUT ALL THIS TOGETHER AND FIGURE THIS OUT WITH THE PARKING GARAGE.

APPARENTLY YOU SAY IT'S LEAKING IN THERE NOW, WE HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT AND WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORT AND WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION THAN WE EVER HAD AND WE HAD A DRAFT READY RFP -- WHEN WE WERE READY WE CAN JUST PRINT IT OUT AND GO FROM THERE.

>> I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT AND THE THOUGHT PROCESS THE COMMISSIONER HAS ALREADY TAKEN AND THE CRA HAS TAKEN.

MARK CAN YOU COME UP AND GIVE US A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON -- WE HAD A DISCUSSION YESTERDAY ON THE CITY MEETING AND WE NEED TO BE ON A RECORD HERE. A RELATIVE AGENCY BUT FROM THE STANDPOINT OF ADDING ADDITIONAL WEIGHT PROBABLY A MILLION POUNDS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER WILL BE BUT THE WORK THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE IN RFQ, REPAIR AND ALL THAT, WE TALKED YESTERDAY 850, AMELIAN, TIMELINE TO DO THAT AND WOULD IRRITABILITY -- I'M GUESSING THE BUILDING WOULD BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND, SPECIFICALLY AFTER ANY REPAIRS?

>> LET ME -- LET ME OPEN WITH A LOT OF -- I'M NOT A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER BUT GENERALLY THIS TYPE OF REPAIR CACTUS FOLLOWING ISSUES, GENERALLY CONSIDERED A MAINTENANCE ISSUE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S STRUCTURALLY DEFICIENT, IT'S NOT A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER BUT IT'S PRETTY TYPICAL OF JUST ABOUT ANY PARKING GARAGE YOU CAN GO THROUGH FLORIDA AND SEE SOME OF THAT, IT'S JUST THE LONGER YOU WAIT, THE MORE IT BECOMES AN ISSUE. IT WAS IDENTIFIED TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THEY DID THE STUDY AND THEY WEREN'T SCREAMING, IT'S GONNA FALL DOWN OR ANYTHING SO I DON'T BELIEVE -- AS FOR THE WEIGHT, I DIDN'T DESIGN THE BUILDING BUT GENERALLY YOU'RE TALKING PRETTY LIGHT LOADS, PEOPLE WALKING AROUND, NOT AS OPPOSED TO THE PARKING GARAGE HAS -- CARS EVERYWHERE SO I DON'T IMAGINE THAT'S AN ISSUE. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I'M SURE THEY EVALUATED TO SOME DEGREE. I THINK THAT WOULD LEAN ON THEIR EXPERTISE ON THAT. DID I MISS ANYTHING?

>> WHAT WOULD BE THE TIMELINE POSSIBILITY OF ACTUALLY GETTING TO REPAIRS, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS GOING FORWARD, I THINK WE NEED TO GET THAT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

>> ENGINEERING IS WORKING ON THAT SO WE ARE WORKING ON THAT.

>> THANK YOU TO THE COMMISSION FOR THE FPRA BOARD TO BRING ME UP TO SPEED. I WAS A LITTLE BIT BEHIND SO I

APPRECIATE THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY.

UP ON EVERYTHING. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? CERTAINLY 288 SQUARE FOOT -- PRICE WILL NOT GO DOWN. SO DO WE HAVE DIRECTION FOR THE CITY MANAGER, DO WE HAVE DIRECTION FOR MISS GARCIA?

>> MADAM CHAIR WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS WE ARE GETTING READY TO ENTER OUR STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE AND I THINK MAYBE NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS, ALONG WITH WHAT WE WILL GET FROM ENGINEERING, WITH THE GARAGE AND GET AN UPDATE, I THINK IT WOULD

[00:45:01]

MAKE GOOD SENSE AT THAT POINT IF WE CAN REALLY COME BACK WITH EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE THIS IS PART OF THAT STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THIS ALONE WITH OTHER THINGS CAPITAL PROJECTS AND THAT WE HAVE TO DO THAT WE CAN GO PRIORITIZE WHAT'S REALLY NECESSARY, WHAT WE NEED TO DO FIRST.

THIS WAS A NICE TO HAVE, THIS WAS A VERY NICE TO HAVE BUT STRUCTURE AND PARKING IS CRITICAL.

WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE AND THE WAY I SAW WATER POURING DOWN THOSE WALLS THE OTHER DAY WHEN WE HAD THIS GREAT LITTLE DOWNPOUR, IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY, IT'S DIFFERENT. SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS SOMETHING I THINK THAT'S CRITICAL AND THAT'S WHY, THAT'S MY OPINION AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE -- WE HAVE IT NOW.

IT'S ON THE SHELF BUT WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHEN TO PULL IT OFF.

>> AND WE LIKE IT. NICE JOB.

AND SO STRATEGIC PLAN, WE NEED TO COME TO GRIPS WITH -- ARE WE GONNA DO THIS, WHERE WILL WE GET THE MONEY? FIX THE GARAGE FIRST? WHO WILL OPERATE IT?

>> FOLLOW UP QUESTION. I WAS GONNA ASK.

WHEN THE IDEA OF ACTUALLY HAVING SOMEBODY OPERATE THIS, WE NEED TO CLEAN THAT UP IN-HOUSE FOR ALL THE OTHER THINGS WE DO WITH REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND ELEMENTS, CONTRACTUAL LANGUAGE, THAT'S JUST A POLICY PROCESS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO UNFOLD AND IT'S ACROSS A LOT OF THINGS, THE LEASES THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY, ANY OF THE PROCUREMENT PROCESSES, THAT'S JUST A FUNDAMENTAL HOUSEKEEPING -- WE NEED TO PHYSICALLY GET READY BECAUSE THE ONES WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST HAVE NOT WORKED, WE'VE

SEEN THAT. >> COMMISSIONER BRODERICK.

>> $288 PER SQUARE FOOT, IS THAT BASED ON USABLE SPACE?

DO YOU KNOW OFFHAND? >> GROSS.

>> -- COMMON AREA FACTOR. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

>> THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO BECAUSE WHAT I'M GETTING AT INTO HERE IS THERE'S X AMOUNT OF SQUARE FEET IN THIS FLOOR AND THEN THEY ADD IN A COMMON AREA OF PERCENTAGE OF SPACE FOR ELEVATORS AND STAIRWAYS AND ALL THAT TYPE OF STUFF SO WE'RE PAYING $288 FOR PHANTOM SPACE BECAUSE THEY'RE CALCULATING AT A 15% OR WHATEVER THE COMMON AREA FACTOR IS INTO THAT NUMBER TO SAY, THE SPACE ISN'T 3000 SQUARE FEET, IT'S 15% ABOVE THAT BECAUSE OF THE COMMON AREA THEY ARE RUNNING AT.

SO I'VE ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH NOT BREAKING THIS DOWN TO A USABLE SPACE NUMBER, IT'S JUST -- IT MAKES IT SOFTER FOR THE CONSUMER BUT IT'S REALLY NOT. THAT'S SOMETHING WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO. I'LL GET INTO YOUR PACKAGE IN MORE DETAIL AND SEE WHAT THOUGHTS I HAVE ON THAT BECAUSE THIS DISCUSSION WILL BE CONTINUED.

I'LL GET INTO THIS IN GREATER DETAIL.

>> ALREADY. ARE WE CLEAR? OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BEAUTIFUL JOB. >> THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA

[C. King's Landing Quarterly Update - Bill Ware, Live Oak Holdings ]

IS KING'S LANDING UPDATE. >> HE WILL GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE KING'S LANDING PROJECT. -- WELCOME MR. WARE.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE, MADAM MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS.

>> MADAM CHAIR DO WE WANT TO CHANGE THE.

>> YEAH, THE DANCING -- [LAUGHTER]

>> I'M HERE AS YOU KNOW. >> IF YOU WILL STATE YOUR NAME

FOR THE RECORD. >> BILL WHEREWITH LIVE OAK IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. I SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

I'M HERE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON TO PROVIDE MY QUARTERLY IN-PERSON UPDATE FOLLOWING THE MONTHLY EMAIL UPDATES PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED AND ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THIS UPDATE AND THEN TO PRESENT A REQUEST FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF A FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SPECIFICALLY THE EXHIBIT A SCHEDULE IN THE THIRD AMENDMENT AND EXHIBIT IN THE ORDINANCE AND FINAL APPROVAL ORDINANCE, 25-025 AS WELL FOR CONSISTENCY.

SO MY UPDATE IN SUMMARY, OUR PSA WITH OTTAWA IS STILL IN FULL FORCE IN EFFECT. OUR DEVELOPMENT TEAM INCLUDING ALL CONSULTANTS, PROFESSIONALS AND GENERAL CONTRACTOR, 22 PEOPLE IN TOTAL COMMENCED WEEKLY DEVELOPMENT MEETINGS ON

[00:50:05]

FEBRUARY 13TH. OUR CIVIL PLANS FOR THE ENTIRE SITE ARE COMPLETE AND HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO ALL AGENCIES HAVING JURISDICTION INCLUDING THE CITY FOR D.C. PR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

ARCHITECTURAL PLANS IN THE MAIN BUILDING WHICH IS THE CONDO'S, RETAIL RESTAURANT AND PARKING GARAGE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND ARE CURRENTLY 15% -- 50% COMPLETE IN SCHEMATIC DESIGN PHASE. MAINSAIL LODGING AND DEVELOPMENT RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM MARRIOTT OF A TRIBUTE BRAND HOTEL ON FEBRUARY 19TH. WE RECEIVED THAT IN MY MONTHLY EMAIL REPORT. I'M ADVISED THAT MAINSAIL IS WORKING WITH MARRIOTT NOW AND THE DETAILS OF THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT AND DESIGN. WE'VE IDENTIFIED A LOCATION FOR OUR SALES CENTER DOWNTOWN, HOWEVER DUE TO CONFIDENTIALITY, I'M UNABLE TO ADVISE THE LOCATION JUST YET AT THIS TIME.

WE CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE WITH SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, EDC, PETE WEST MACQUARIE AND -- ON OUR INCENTIVE PROGRAM AND OPTIONS AND FINALLY, I CONTINUE THE COLLABORATION WITH MR. JESS AND MISS HARNAGE BY TELEPHONE AND IN PERSON AND IN-PERSON MEETINGS ON THE COLLABORATION AND PROSPECT OF CONVENTION MEETING SPACE ATOP THE HOTEL. I'M ADVISED A FEASIBILITY STUDY PROPOSAL HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND THAT ONE OR MORE WERE BEING SOLICITED. WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS UPDATE.

>> QUESTIONS OF MR. WHERE. >> MR. BRODERICK.

>> JUST FOR DISCLOSURE BILL AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THE DATE THAT WAS SKIPPED DUE TO THE LACK OF THE SUBMISSION PERQUISITE DDPCR APPLICATION? MY POINT WAS THAT EVERY ONE OF THESE BENCHMARKS IS BUILDING TOWARDS THE ULTIMATE ISSUANCE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT. MULTIPLE BUILDING PERMITS.

I HAD CONCERNS RELATIVE TO THIS BUT BILL AND I HAVE HAD PROBABLY SEVERAL HOURS WORTH OF CONVERSATIONS AT THIS POINT ABOUT ALL THIS AND YOU ARE SAYING YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE DP

CR? >> YES, WE HAVE.

>> SO YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT THE NON-SUBMISSION AND YOU WENT AHEAD AND GOT YOUR STUFF TOGETHER AND SUBMITTED.

>> ACTUALLY, I HAVE -- I. PLAN TO GO THROUG A HISTORY OF APPROVALS IN THE SECOND PART OF MY PRESENTATION AND IT -- A. LOT OF YOUR QUESTIONS MAY BE ANSWERED BY MY SUMMARY.

>> WHY DON'T YOU PROCEED AND GO AHEAD WITH YOUR SECOND PART.

>> ALL RIGHT. SO I RECEIVED NOTICE OF AN ALLEGED BREACH DUE TO A MISSED MILESTONE DATE CONTAINED IN THE THIRD AMENDMENT EXHIBIT A AS PREPARED BY OUR PREDECESSOR OTTAWA, SPECIFICALLY THE SCHEDULED DATE FOR SUBMITTAL OF THE HOTEL VERTICAL PLANS TO THE CITY FOR DPCR REVIEW WAS 225, 26. I WILL REPEAT AGAIN.

SPECIFICALLY, THE SCHEDULED DATE FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE HOTEL VERTICAL PLANS TO THE CITY FOR DBCR REVIEW WAS 225, 26.

I PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING HISTORY. OUR THIRD AMENDMENT HAS AN AFFECTED DATE OF APRIL 82025. THIS AMENDMENT PROVIDED FOR AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE APPROVAL OF A GROUP AS A REPLACEMENT JOINT VENTURE PARTNER WITH OTTAWA AND FURTHER REPLACING THE JOINT VENTURE STRUCTURE WITH A PROPOSED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GROUP AND AUTOBAHN IN LIEU THEREOF AND A REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDED SITE PLAN ON OR BEFORE MAY 31ST 2025. WE MET THIS SUBMISSION DATE.

ON JUNE 26TH, JUNE 2025, OUR TRC MEETING WITH THE CITY OCCURRED WITH MEMBERS OF THE CITY, PLANNING, ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENTS, RESPECTIVELY, THE MEETING WENT WELL AND WAS PRODUCTIVE AND FURTHERING THE CITY'S CONTINUING

[00:55:04]

REVIEW. THE CITY WAS DILIGENT IN THEIR EFFORTS, WORKING WELL IN CIVIL ENGINEER THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

ON JULY 142025 THE CITY PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED SITE PLAN. ON JULY 28TH, 2025, THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD APPROVED THE REQUEST FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING AND FINAL SITE PLAN.

THE NEW AMENDED FINAL SITE PLAN AND EXHIBIT C CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT AND THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

THUS FINAL APPROVAL OF THE HOLDINGS GROUP AND ITS FINAL SITE PLAN OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 152025, THE -- DATE OF THE ORDINANCE. ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2025, I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED SEPTEMBER 162025 FROM THE CITY NOTIFYING ME OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE AND REITERATED THERE AND AMONG OTHER THINGS, EXHIBIT C CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE ORDINANCE. ON JANUARY 14TH, 2026, WE SUBMITTED 100% OF COMPLETE CIVIL PLANS ON NOT ONLY PHASE ONE BUT THE ENTIRE SITE. THE CITY AND ALL AGENCIES HAVING JURISDICTION ARE DILIGENTLY PROCESSING.

ON FEBRUARY 192026, MAINSAIL LODGING AND DEVELOPMENT, OUR DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATING PARTNER FOR THE HOTEL RECEIVED FINAL APPROVAL FROM MARRIOTT'S HOTEL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE.

WHY IS THIS HISTORY IMPORTANT? BECAUSE THE HISTORY CLEARLY SHOWS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE SCHEDULE REFLECTED ON EXHIBIT A OF THE INHERITED SECOND AMENDMENT AND CARRIED IN THE THIRD AMENDMENT AND EXHIBIT C CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE FINAL APPROVAL DOCUMENT BEING ORDINANCE 25-025 WHEREIN THE HOLDINGS GROUP FINAL SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED.

HIGHLIGHTS, THE THIRD AMENDMENT DATED APRIL 82025 STATES AND REFLECTS ON EXHIBIT -- A. THAT ALL CITY APPROVALS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AS OF JANUARY 282025. HOWEVER, FROM THE HISTORY ABOVE, ALL FINAL APPROVALS FOR LIVE OAK DIDN'T OCCUR UNTIL SEPTEMBER 15TH 2025. OR NINE MONTHS LATER.

THE THIRD AMENDMENT REMOVES THE KING'S PARCEL, YET THE EXHIBIT A SCHEDULE STILL REFLECTS IT IN MILESTONES AS A PART OF THE SCHEDULE. THE THIRD AMENDMENT EXHIBIT A SCHEDULE REFLECTS THE PHASE ONE INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION START DATE OF MAY 20TH 2026. THIS IS TWO MONTHS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY CLOSE ON THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE LAND IN JULY.

THE FINAL APPROVAL ORDINANCE 2020 -- 20-025 IS DATED SEPTEMBER 15TH 2025. TO THE EXTENT THIS DOCUMENT IS THE CULMINATION OF ALL APPROVALS, I INTERPRET IT AS THE FINAL DIRECTIVE. EXHIBIT C CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT THEREIN AND SPECIFICALLY ITEM TWO, THE TIMETABLE OF DEVELOPMENT, FIRST BULLET POINT SIMPLY STATES QUOTE PHASE ONE IS TO BE COMPLETED NO LATER THAN JULY 11, 2028".

WITH NO MILESTONES. IN CONTRAST, BULLET POINTS TWO AND THREE, REFLECT MILESTONES. I STATED IN MY LAST QUARTERLY UPDATE IN JANUARY 142026 THAT WE WERE TRACKING THE SCHEDULE, INCLUDED IN THE FINAL ORDINANCE 20025 EXHIBIT C CONDITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT AS THE GOVERNING DOCUMENT.

THE FINAL APPROVAL BY MARRIOTT OF THE KING'S LANDING TRIBUTE HOTEL WAS RECEIVED FEBRUARY 19TH 2026.

RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS NOTICE IN MY MONTHLY REPORT.

[01:00:03]

HOWEVER THE THIRD AMENDMENT EXHIBIT A SCHEDULE REFLECTS A REQUIREMENT COMMISSIONER TO YOUR QUESTION REFLECTS A REQUIREMENT FOR A VERTICAL PLAN SUBMISSIONS OF THE HOTEL ON FEBRUARY 25TH 2026. SIX DAYS AFTER RECEIVING APPROVAL BY MARRIOTT, OF OUR PROJECT, MAINSAIL IS NOW FULLY ENGAGED AS A RESULT OF THIS APPROVAL.

THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT AFTER CONSULTING WITH MAINSAIL AND CONSULTANTS, WE'RE STILL TRACKING TO COMPLETE THE HOTEL ON JULY 11TH, 2028. CONDITIONED ON THE CITY'S DECISION FOR US TO INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE THE ADDITION OF A TOP FLOOR CONVENTION MEETING SPACE OF THE HOTEL.

MORE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE SUBMITTED 100% COMPLETE CIVIL PLANS FOR DDPCR APPROVAL, NOT JUST PHASE ONE BUT THE ENTIRE SITE. WE SUBMITTED THESE PLANS ON JANUARY 16TH 2026 AND STATED IN MY LAST QUARTERLY IN-PERSON UPDATE ON JANUARY 16TH, 2026. ACCORDINGLY ALL MILESTONES FOR FUTURE THINGS IS AS TO SITE WORK ARE MET WITH THIS FIRST SUBMISSION. THE THIRD AMENDMENT EXHIBIT A SCHEDULE REFLECTS A PHASE THREE. WE DON'T HAVE A PHASE THREE.

OUR PLAN IS TO ONLY HAVE TWO PHASES AND COMPLETE THE SECOND PHASE BY THE STATED COMPLETION DATE OF PHASE TWO THEREIN OF MAY 29TH 2029. IN CLOSING, I'VE CONVEYED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY AS A PARTNERSHIP FROM THE BEGINNING.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE HISTORY OF THIS PROJECT AND THE FATIGUE, ANGER AND OTHER DISHEARTENING EMOTIONS FROM THE BEGINNING WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER WELL, BEING OPEN, HONEST AND TRANSPARENT AND AS I HAVE STATED TO EACH OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY, AND COLLECTIVELY, I ACKNOWLEDGE THE SENSITIVITY OF ITS HISTORY AND HAVE NAVIGATED THE PROCESS AND PROGRESS ACCORDINGLY, DEVELOPING A PROJECT LIKE THIS IS NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE.

IT HAS MANY MOVING PARTS, SOME OF WHICH ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

A LEVEL OF REASON FOR THIS SHOULD PREVAIL.

WE CONTINUE TO DEMONSTRATE OUR COMMITMENT AND CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS NOTWITHSTANDING MILESTONES AS HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE.

TO THIS END, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR CONSIDERATION OF RECEIVING REVIEWING AND APPROVING AN UPDATED SCHEDULE THAT'S REALISTIC, BASED ON THE APPROVED FINAL SITE PLAN AND THE CORRESPONDING HISTORY OF APPROVALS AND FACTS WE KNOW TODAY. THANK YOU.

>> DOES THAT COMPLETE THE PRESENTATION? AND SO THAT LAST DOCUMENT YOU SPOKE OF IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PRESENTED TO US OR ARE YOU GOING TO?

>> I'M GOING TO WITH YOUR ACQUIESCENCE.

>> BOARD MEMBERS GOT QUESTIONS? >> I WILL START WITH A FEW COMMENTS. MR. WARE THANK YOU FOR MEETING WITH ME AND STAFF AND BEGIN AN UNDERSTANDING HERE SO MY COMMENTS THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE A COUPLE THINGS ARE CLEAR ON WHAT I HEARD BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF TIMELINES THERE, WE WERE MOVING ALL ACROSS 25-26 ET CETERA.

NUMBER ONE, WE GOT HERE BASED ON THAT AGREEMENT, I THINK IT WAS THE THIRD AGREEMENT WE HAD WHICH HAD SOME MILESTONES IN IT.

THERE WERE SOME TRIGGER DATES THERE THAT STAFF BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THOSE DATES HAD COME AND GONE AND WE HAD RECEIVED RESPECTIVE DOCUMENTS. I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'VE SHARED AS FAR AS THE TIMELINESS OF IT BECAUSE SOME OF IT'S TRIGGERED OBVIOUSLY WITH MARRIOTT HAVING TO GET APPROVAL THOUGH THE GOOD NEWS IS MARRIOTT HAS APPROVED -- THEY'VE APPROVED -- THE MARRIOTT HOTEL ACTUALLY HIRED -- A. TRIBUTE WHICH BASICALLY MEANS WE WILL TAKE ON THE AMBIANCE OF FORT PIERCE IN SOME ASPECT MEANING THAT THE HOTEL, THE DESIGN, THE INTERIOR WILL BE REFLECTIVE OF SAINT LUCIE COUNTY, STAGES MUCH LIKE THE TRIBUTE HOTELS AND OTHER AREAS. THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.

I WANT THE PUBLIC TO HEAR THAT BECAUSE MUCH OF THE PRESSURE THAT WE GET IS WHEN IS THE HOTEL COMING?

[01:05:02]

AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL OF THE TIMELINES AND WE CARE ABOUT BECAUSE THE TIMELINES AND THE MILESTONES ARE TRIGGERS FOR US.

IT TELLS US, STAFF THAT IF YOU HIT THESE MILESTONES AND DATES BASED ON THE CONTRACT THAT YOU SIGNED, WE WILL BE ON TIME FOR THE HOTEL. OR VERY CLOSE, WE KNOW STUFF HAPPENS BUT WHAT I ALSO HEARD TONIGHT WAS JULY 11TH 2028, WE WILL HAVE A HOTEL SO WHAT I ALSO HEARD IS YOU'RE GOING TO PRESENT US SOMETHING THAT THOSE THOSE PREVIOUS TIMELINES AND SAY WE WILL HAVE OUR PUT INTO DPCR, THIS IN BY THAT DATE, PLANS ON ALL OF THIS STUFF, YOU'RE GONNA PROPOSE HAVING THAT OUT AS YOU WORK WITH THE BUILDER AND DEVELOPER AND ALL THAT SO WE HAVE AN EXPECTATION SO WHEN WE'RE SITTING HERE, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS MILESTONE, AND WE CAN SAY OKAY IT'S ON TRACK AND WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT JULY 11TH 2028, THE PUBLIC CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT JULY 11TH 2028. SO THAT'S WHERE I'M AT WITH THIS AND SO YOU AND I HAVE HAD THAT DISCUSSION, I UNDERSTAND WHAT STAFF HAS DONE WHAT WE'VE ASKED THEM TO DO, KEEP US ABREAST BECAUSE THE PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW, WHEN ARE WE GETTING A HOTEL? JULY 11TH, 2028.

>> THAT'S THE DATE THAT WILL BE IN THE SCHEDULE.

>> OKAY, I'M DONE. >> I THINK IT'S JULY 11TH 2028.

>> I'M SORRY JULY 11TH, 2028. TEN TIMES -- AT THAT POINT HOME.

I GUESS I WILL FOLLOW UP TO CURTIS'S COMMENT.

AS YOU KNOW THE CONCERN HERE IS, EVERY ONE OF THESE ACTION DATES IS CRITICAL TO THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE COMPLETION DATE OR TIMELINES FOR THAT HOWEVER AS I EXPRESS YOU MY CONCERNS ARE ANY OF THESE MILESTONES ARE MISSED THOSE COMPLETION DATES WILL BE MISSED. AHEAD OF OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT IS HERE, HE COULD REFERENCE THAT, IT'S ALL A CASCADING EFFECT BUT IT'S A CRITICAL PATH OF CONSTRUCTION WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE STILL IN THE SOFT SIDE OF THAT RIGHT NOW WITH PLANNING AND ALL THAT.

SO I THINK YOU'VE ADDRESSED THE CONCERNS BECAUSE YOU'VE MADE THAT SUBMISSION AND IF THERE'S ANY OTHER TIMELINES IN THAT THIRD AMENDMENT THAT NEED TO BE ADJUSTED WILL HAVE TO INCORPORATE INTO THE FOURTH BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T WANT TO COME BACK AND HAVE THIS DISCUSSION AGAIN, UNLESS THERE'S SOME CRITICAL MASS ISSUE. MISSING AN ARBITRARY DATE OR WHAT'S CONSIDERED AN ARBITRARY DATE, SIMPLY CREATES PROBLEMS AS YOU CAN TELL. BUT THE OUTSIDE DATES ARE ALL REMAINING INTACT SO THERE'S NO CHANGES TO THE PRODUCTION AND TIMELINE TO HAVE THAT DRINK UP ON THAT BEAUTIFUL BAR THAT WAS GOING TO BE IN THAT HOTEL. CURTIS, YES, I DO -- I. WILL BE

BUYING THAT. >> JULY 11TH.

>> WE WILL RIDE THE ELEVATOR UP TOGETHER.

>> ALL THE ISSUES YOU CONTEMPLATE NEED TO BE ROLLED INTO SOMETHING. I'M NOT AVERSE TO HAVING A FOURTH AMENDMENT DRAFTED, I JUST WANT IT DONE QUICKLY.

THAT WAY ALL OF THIS CAN BE MEMORIALIZED AND EVERYBODY CAN GO BACK TO DOING THEIR DAILY THING.

>> AS DO WE AND IF I MAY, WHAT I'M PROPOSING IS NOT JUST A SCHEDULE OF END DATES, IT'S A SCHEDULE OF THESE MILESTONE DATES OF CURRENT AND ACCURATE MILESTONE DATES.

>> I'M SUGGESTING A LEDGER AND THESE ARE NEW DATES THAT I'M REQUESTING AND THAT WAY WE CAN LOOK AT IT QUICKLY LIKE A REFERENCE SHEET. ARE THERE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT YOU SEE IN THE CRITICAL PATH RIGHT NOW.

>> NOT AT THE MOMENT, NO, SIR. >> YOU HAVE MADE YOUR SUBMISSION

SO. >> CLARIFY WHAT YOU MEAN BY MADE

YOUR SUBMISSION. >> DP CR SUBMISSION.

>> WE HAVEN'T SUBMITTED FOR VERTICAL PLANS FOR DDPCR BECAUSE WE JUST GOT MARRIOTT APPROVAL SO THOSE PLANS ARE JUST COMMENCING.

THAT DDPCR DATE WILL BE ONE OF THE MILESTONES THAT WILL HAVE ADDED TO OUR NEW SCHEDULE BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAIN OUR END

SCHEDULE. >> I GET IT, IT'S ALL THE STUFF THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE. THE APPROVAL PERMIT DATE I THINK

AT THE END OF APRIL. >> MADAM CHAIR, I WANT TO BE CLEAR, I THINK WE ARE MISSING TWO DIFFERENT SUBMISSIONS HERE.

WHAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED IS THE SITE WORK DPCR.

WHAT HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED IS THE VERTICAL DDPCR.

THE VERTICAL DDPCR -- D. CPR WHICHEVER ACRONYM BECAUSE I ALWAYS MESS THEM UP IS THE TIMELINE THAT'S BEEN MISSED AND HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED, THAT'S THE FEBRUARY DATE SO I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THERE'S -- MR. WARE SAYS ALLEGED DEFAULT, THERE'S A DEFAULT THAT'S BEEN MISSED, THE TIMELINE MATTERS,

[01:10:03]

THE TASKS MATTER UNDER THE AMENDMENTS.

ULTIMATELY, IT WILL BE THE DECISION WHETHER YOU WANT TO GRANT A FUTURE AMENDMENT, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IS THE ONLY DEFAULT ISSUE CURRENTLY, RELATED TO THE TIMELINES THAT EXIST, THE VERTICAL DDPCR APPROVAL IS SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED CURRENTLY BY APRIL 21ST, 2026.

SO THAT'S IN A HANDFUL OF DAYS. THE NEXT KIND OF TRIGGER DATE IS THE VERTICAL PERMITTING, THE ACTUAL PERMIT SUBMISSION WHICH IS APRIL 22ND, THE DAY THEREAFTER SO WHETHER RUMORS OF THESE DATES WILL BE MISSED WITHOUT THE AMENDMENT, WHAT I'M HEARING FROM MR. WARE HOWEVER IS THAT CRITICAL DATE THAT THESE ARE BUILDING UP TO WHICH IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE TIME FRAMES, THE FIVE, 18, 27 IS GOING TO BE KEPT AS WELL AS THE CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE, FIVE, 18, 27. SO THEN THE CONSTRUCTION, YOU CORRECT ME BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE I'M MESSING THESE UP.

YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP YOUR HOTEL CONSTRUCTION ONLINE AND ALL OF YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION

TIMELINE. >> WHAT I'M SUGGESTING IS THAT I COME BACK WITH A NEW SCHEDULE THAT WILL CLEARLY STATE EACH ONE OF THOSE LINE ITEMS AND WHAT THOSE DATES ARE TO BE AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU NOW THAT THE END DATE, THE DELIVERY DATE, WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN TOGETHER, OUR TEAM FROM EVERY DISCIPLINE TO CONFIRM THEIR RESPECTIVE WORK AND TIME FRAMES TO DO THE WORK, WE'RE MAINTAINING THAT DELIVERY DATE BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER STANDING HERE RIGHT NOW WITH THOSE DATES WILL BE ALONG THE WAY BUT THEY'LL BE IN THE PROPOSED SCHEDULE THAT I SUBMIT.

>> IS THAT FOR THE HOTEL AND INFRASTRUCTURE?

>> THAT'S CORRECT YES. CASE IN POINT IS THAT ON SITE WORK FOR EXAMPLE, IF MY MEMORY SERVES AND AGAIN IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PERMIT THIS MONTH OR NEXT MONTH THROUGH DCPR BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BY NOBODY'S FAULT, BUT IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN SO AGAIN, THE SCHEDULE THAT I WILL PROPOSE IS A SCHEDULE THAT FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE BASED ON TODAY'S FACTS WILL BE A REALISTIC

SCHEDULE THAT WE CAN BE HELD TO. >> WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO HAVE

THAT? >> NEXT WEEK.

AND IN DRAFT FORM, FOR EDGES, OR THE PROTOCOL BUT I SUSPECT

THAT'S WHAT WE WILL DO. >> DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION MARK

ON YOUR FACE. >> WAS THE QUESTION FOR THE

SCHEDULE OR FOR THE AMENDMENT? >> WHEN WILL HE GET THE INFORMATION TO US ON THE AMENDMENT CHANGE DATES.

THERE WILL BE OTHER DATES IN THERE THAT WILL BE MODIFIED AS

WELL. >> YEAH, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT I BELIEVE YOU'VE DRAFTED THE AMENDMENTS INTO -- TO DATE OR NO? THEN WE WILL DRAFT THE AMENDMENT IN DRAFT FORM, WE WILL PUT TOGETHER THE SCHEDULE AND SUBMIT ALL OF THAT TO MISS HEDGES AND SHE WILL DISSEMINATE THAT AS APPROPRIATE OR HOWEVER SHE IS SUPPOSED TO.

>> I WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT WE RECEIVED ON THURSDAY THAT WENT TO MYSELF, MISS ANA.G AND -- THE UPDATE TO EXHIBIT A.

>> ARE YOU SAYING THERE'S A REDRAFT OF THAT?

OR THAT'S YOUR FINAL DRAFT? >> I'M SAYING THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE FINAL DRAFT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING SINCE I'VE SUBMITTED THAT TO YOU AND IT COULD BE BUT SITTING HERE RIGHT

NOW, I CAN'T TELL YOU. >> I THINK WE NEED TO PUT SOME TIME FRAMES ON THIS BECAUSE WE ARE IN A DEFAULT SITUATION OBVIOUSLY IT'S UP TO THIS BOARD HOW TO HANDLE IT BUT SOME DIRECTION TO US AS TO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IF THERE'S AN APPETITE TO CONSIDER A FOURTH AMENDMENT, I CAN GET THAT DRAFTED, I WILL NEED THE FINAL VERSION OF WHAT THE TIME FRAMES WILL BE AND WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU.

OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO -- YOU WOULD NOT MAKE A FORMAL DECISION TO NIGHT. IF THIS BOARD IS NOT INTERESTED IN A FOURTH AMENDMENT, QUITE HONESTLY STAFF WOULDN'T USE A LOT OF TIME TO DO THAT. WE WOULD NEED DIRECT -- DIRECTION ON WHAT YOU WOULD NEED TO CONSIDER THAT OR WHAT YOU

WOULD WANT TO LOOK LIKE. >> I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN AN

[01:15:11]

AMENDMENT AND I'M LISTENING TO MR. WARE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THINGS HAPPEN THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL, SOMETIMES OUT OF OUR CONTROL, MARRIOTT IS DOING ITS THING, YOU HAVE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS BUT YOU HAVE A TEAM THAT'S WORKING ON THIS ALL THE TIME. SO I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW DEADLINES HAVEN'T BEEN MET AND I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE SENSITIVE ABOUT NOT MEETING DEADLINES.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, I THINK YOU DESERVE AND WE DESERVE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK WITH THE NEW DATES BECAUSE YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED ALL THESE OTHER THINGS AND YOU'RE WORKING ON IT WITH 22 PEOPLE, ONCE A WEEK AND KEEPING THIS CITY

INFORMED SO THAT'S WHERE I AM. >> MADAM CHAIR I'M THERE WITH YOU BECAUSE TO NOT DO A FOURTH MEANS WE DON'T GET A HOTEL ON JULY 11TH, 2028 AND I NEED A HOTEL ON JULY 11TH, 2028 IN DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE. BUT I DO WANT TO BRING ATTENTION BECAUSE I HEARD SOMETHING HERE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS HEARD IT. THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS TOP FLOOR IN US AND A FEASIBILITY STUDY.

WE NEED TO -- I. NEED FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE MY CONVERSATION WITH STAFF, I DON'T NEED A FEASIBILITY STUDY, I DON'T NEED A HOLD UP OF US NOT NEEDING THESE MILESTONES AND YOU -- FROM STAFF. WHATEVER OUR DECISION IS, WHATEVER THAT IS, WE NEED TO MAKE THAT PRETTY QUICKLY AND THE STAFF WANTS TO COME IN AS TO WHERE WE ARE AT SOME POINT ON THIS IN FACT WE NEED AN UPDATE BUT I HEARD THAT YOU AND I DISCUSSED IT, YOU BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION, IT PERKED MY EARS UP, AND I DON'T WANT THIS THING HELD UP WAITING ON US TO GET BACK TO SOME INFORMATION. THAT'S AN ABSOLUTE KILLER SO WE WILL MAKE A DECISION, STAFF NEED TO LET US KNOW AND LET'S GET IT MOVED ON BECAUSE I CAN'T HAVE MARRIOTT WAITING ON US AND THEN WE ARE BACK TO A FIFTH AMENDMENT AND A SIXTH AMENDMENT.

I HAVE NO APPETITE FOR THAT. >> I HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION AND THAT AFFECTS THE PLANS OF THE HOTEL SO THAT COULD THROW OFF YOUR TIMETABLE TOTALLY SO THAT IS NOT FAIR TO YOU TO HOLD TO A TIMETABLE AND YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.

>> I MUST HAVE MISSED THE MEMO ON THE FEASIBILITY STUDY, WHAT

IS THAT? >> WE ASKED THREE D.C. CONTRACT TO LOOK AT THE FEASIBILITY OF US HAVING A CONFERENCE CENTER WITH 800 ROOMS AND WITH A MARKET FOR IT AND WAS THERE A DEMAND FOR IT AND THE COUNTY'S LOOKING TO BUILD A CONFERENCE CENTER AT THE AIRPORT AND -- WE HAVE A CONFERENCE SPACE AT THE COUNTY ON CENTER AS WELL. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FEASIBILITY OF THAT -- WILL DEMAND BE THERE? SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. I UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT WAS ALREADY DESIGNED TO HEAD THE CONFERENCE FROM INDIA?

>> IT IS NOT. >> I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT.

>> I'M APPOINTEE FOR THE TOURISM BOARD AND I ASSURE YOU THE TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL, THE FOLKS OVER THERE HAVE OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES AND THEY COULD GIVE US A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF THE PROFESSIONALS THAT ACTUALLY EXIST AND THE TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL HAS AVAILABLE TO THEM SO WE CAN SPEED THAT PROCESS UP THERE IF YOU WANT ME TO REACH OUT AND GO THROUGH THAT AND GET YOU WHATEVER INFORMATION POSSIBLE.

>> IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN WE DID GET THAT DATA FROM THEM ALREADY BUT JUST FROM MY PERSPECTIVE IT WAS NOT SOUND ENOUGH FOR ME TO SAY AND MAKE THAT INVESTMENT SO I WILL BE GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING FIRM WHO HAS THE TIME BUT WE CAN CIRCLE BACK AROUND QUICKLY AND MAKE THE DECISION BUT WE LOOKED AT IT THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO ME, SOUND ENOUGH -- IT WAS NOT SOUND ENOUGH TO SAY, BUILD THIS. I WANT MORE CONCENTRATED ON

THAT. >> MISS HARNAGE, MADAM CHAIR BOARD MEMBERS, FIL, NICE TO SEE YOU, THIS CAME ABOUT -- BILL MET WITH US AND APPROACHED US ABOUT POTENTIALLY THE CITY OR THE FPRAS PARTICIPATION IN CONSTRUCTING AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL ON THE HOTEL FOR CONVENTION OR CONFERENCE SPACE.

WITH THAT, WHAT DOES THAT PARTICIPATION LOOK LIKE? I THINK WE ALL SHARE YOUR SENTIMENTS OF, WE DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE WAY OF SLOWING THIS PROJECT DOWN IN ANY WAY.

[01:20:02]

HOWEVER, IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME TYPE OF FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE FPRA, MANAGING THIS SPACE, CONSTRUCTING THIS SPACE, WHATEVER THAT REALLY LOOKS LIKE AND WE HAVEN'T REALLY GOTTEN THERE YET, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE MARKET DEMAND FOR THIS TYPE OF VENUE.

THAT'S WHERE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY CAME ABOUT. WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THAT ROUTE, WE CAN DECIDE HERE TODAY THAT WE WILL STAY OUT OF THIS JERK I THINK WE NEED THAT DATA IF WE ARE GOING TO FINANCIALLY PARTICIPATE IN SOME TYPE OF ARRANGEMENT FOR CONVENTION SPACE AT KING'S LANDING, I THINK WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE THAT DATA SO THAT'S WHERE WE STAND BUT TOTALLY AGREE, WE DON'T WANT TO SLOW THINGS DOWN AND I KNOW IT'S VERY SLOW.

>> MADAM CHAIR, I SPENT TWO WEEKS READING EVERY DOCUMENT AND GETTING PREPARED FOR THIS MEETING.

I DON'T WANT THAT -- WASTE THAT WORK THAT I JUST DID SO I WILL READ OFF REAL QUICKLY WHAT I BELIEVE WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS SCENARIO BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF STUFF TO GO THROUGH AND I ACTUALLY DID A TIMELINE JUST LIKE HE DID BUT YOURS WAS MUCH MORE IN-DEPTH AND I WILL BE GIVING THAT TO THE CLERK IF ANYBODY WANTS TO HAVE THAT BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE WHAT YOU WROTE TO US IN OUR TIMELINES AND DATES AS A PRINTED DOCUMENT IF WE COULD GET A COPY OF THAT, JUST SO I CAN CONTINUE TO PUT IT WITH MY DOCUMENTATION AS TO HOW I REVIEWED THIS CASE.

>> THOSE DATES WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE EXHIBIT THAT WE WILL BE

PREPARING AND SUBMITTING. >> I WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS AND I -- BECAUSE I WAS ON THE SIDELINES AS JUST A GENERAL PUBLIC CONCERN ABOUT HAVING, I MET YOU TWO YEARS AGO FROM TOURISM, I WAS ACTUALLY HAVING A MEETING DOWNTOWN AND HAD A CONVERSATION WITH YOU ABOUT HOW EXCITED I WAS AND HOW THE TOURISM GROUP WAS ACTUALLY EXCITED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A HOTEL DOWNTOWN FORT PIERCE.

OH SUPPORTED IT SINCE THEN BUT NOW THAT THE CITY COMMISSIONER HAT ON, I WANT TO GO THROUGH SOME THINGS BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS NO LONGER A PROJECT THAT THE CITY AWARDED. THE CITY AWARDED BASED ON SPECIFIC DEVELOPER, THAT WAS OTTAWA, SPECIFIC VISION, SPECIFIC FINANCIAL AND EXECUTION CAPACITY BUT NOW, THE DEVELOPER HAS PARTIALLY EXITED AND HE'S STILL AROUND SOMEWHERE, AUTOBAHN IS STILL CONNECTED TO THIS PROJECT ALONG THE WAY.

>> WE HAVE A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT SO TO THAT EFFECT

KAKIS INVOLVED. >> THE PROJECT HAS BEEN REASSIGNED SO WE'VE DONE THAT SEVERAL TIMES WITH THOSE LIVE OAK AND THEN REPLACED HARBOR SO THAT WAS PART OF THE PROCESS.

SO, THIS IS FUNCTIONALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROCURED SO WHEN WE GO BACK AND START LOOKING AT THESE THINGS, DO WE LOSE OUR PROCESS AND RFQ OR PROPOSALS? BACK TO FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE CLEAN UP GOING FORWARD I THINK IS IMPORTANT.

WOULD I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THE DEADLINES HAVE BECOME A MEANING -- MEANINGLESS. EACH AMENDMENT PUSHES THE TIMELINE FURTHER, RETROACTIVELY JUST SOME OBLIGATIONS.

IT TREATS DELAY AS NORMAL INSTEAD OF DEFAULT.

MY PROBLEM IS, WE CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER EXPECTING A DIFFERENT RESULT BUT WORSE YET, DELAYS ARE OFTEN TIED TO CLOSING DATES AND INTERNAL ISSUES, NOT THE FORCE MAJEURE THAT'S BEEN INDICATED BY OUR ATTORNEY OR EXTERNAL HARDSHIP SO DEVELOPER HAS NO CONSEQUENCES FOR MISSING THE MILESTONES AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE WHETHER IT'S THIS DEVELOPMENT OR OUR LEASE HOLDS, PROPERTIES THAT WE OWN AND LEASE AROUND THE CITY I THINK WE CONTINUE TO HAVE TO PUT SOME ONUS ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE WHO ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY. THE CHALLENGE I HAVE AGAIN IS THE CITY IS NOT ENFORCED THE MATERIAL BREACH LEVERAGE, OUR ATTORNEY CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT THAT HAS HAPPENED SO I DON'T WANT TO GET IN A SITUATION THAT THE CITY CONTINUES TO DO THESE THINGS WITHOUT THE PUBLIC KNOWING THAT WE WILL ACTUALLY PULL THE TRIGGER AT SOME POINT IN SOME WAY.

EVEN IN OUR LANGUAGE, OUR LATER AMENDMENTS, SUCH AS FAILURE TO MEET THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, THAT'S A MATERIAL BREACH.

WE'VE INDICATED THAT WITH THE ATTORNEY.

BUT THE CITY EXTENDS, THE CITY RESTRUCTURES, THE CITY APPROVES NEW ENTITIES, THAT WEAKENS US AS A CITY AND OUR LEGAL POSITION OVER TIME. SO AS THINGS AND CITIES AND COUNTIES AND ENTITIES ALWAYS END UP IN COURT, IT'S NEVER A GOOD THING -- NEVER A GOOD SHOW FOR THE CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS.

THE ASSIGNMENT AT RISK NOW IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE I THINK AND SO

[01:25:01]

THE 2025 AMENDMENTS TRIES TO CONTROL IT BUT NO FURTHER ASSIGNMENT WITHOUT CITY APPROVAL OKAY, WELL THAT'S A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. BUT IN REALITY, WE'VE ALREADY HAD JOINT VENTURE PARTNER CHANGES, THE VILLAS WERE SOLD OFF, THAT'S A VALUE TO THE CITY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN SOLD OFF.

FULL RESTRUCTURING OF THE OWNERSHIP HAS OCCURRED AND SO NOW, THIS IS A ROLLING ASSIGNMENT STRUCTURE, IT'S NOT REALLY A DEVELOPER PARTNERSHIP SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REFLECT ALL THESE THINGS AS WE GO THROUGH AND UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING TO US AS WE LEARN THESE NEW CONCERNS.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS THE CITY IS CARRYING ALL THE RISK, NOT THE DEVELOPER. THE CITY CONVEYED THE LAND, SUPPORTS THE ENTITLEMENTS, THE CITY ADJUSTS A PLAN AND INFRASTRUCTURE, THE CITY ABSORBS DYLANWRITES HOWEVER THE DEVELOPER KEEPS OPTIONS OPEN, BRINGS NEW PARTNERS, WHEN NEEDED, FACES NO FINANCIAL PENALTIES SO AS PART OF THIS, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING OR BRINGING FORWARD IN THE AMENDMENT THAT THERE WILL BE SOME FINANCIAL CONSID CONSIDERATIONS, PENALTIES OF SOME SORT SO EVERY TIME WE DO AN AMENDMENT, THE LEGAL OFFICE TAKES ALL THEIR TIME TO DO THAT, HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS SO THERE'S A COST TO STAFF TIME AT THE CITY, I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND.

THIS EVOLVED FROM PERFORMANCE CONTRACT TO A HOLDING CONTRACT.

THE CONCERN HERE IS -- FACES LIMITED CONSEQUENCES, RESHUFFLE PARTNERS AT ANY TIME, LET ME LOOK AT MY ATTORNEY, DID I STATE ANYTHING IN ANY OF THAT CONVERSATION THAT I'M WRONG IN WHAT I READ AND WHAT I MADE ASSUMPTIONS WITH FOR?

>> MADAM CHAIR, RESPECTFULLY I WOULD RATHER NOT ESPOUSE ON THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A FAIR...

>> AS I'VE GONE THROUGH THIS AND I'VE ALREADY HEARD SOME OF MY COMMISSIONERS SUGGESTING THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AN AMENDMENT BUT I LIKE TO THINK MY THINGS THOSE IDEAS OUT SO MY FIRST OPTION WOULD BE BASICALLY ENFORCEMENT RESET, BASICALLY A NOTICE OF DEFAULT. THAT WOULD BE BASICALLY THE NUCLEAR OPTION. AM I CONSIDERING IT? I DON'T KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE. OPTION TWO IS WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM SOME OF MY COMMISSIONERS UP HERE, THE CRA BOARD RENEGOTIATE BUT WITH TEETH, MORE PRACTICAL CONSIDERATION WITH HARD DEADLINES, PERFORMANCE BOND, FINANCIAL GUARANTEES, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR DELAYS, REQUALIFICATION OF THE DEVELOPER, NEW RFQ STANDARD, STRICT ASSIGNMENT LIMITATIONS, MILESTONES BASED ON LAND CONVEYANCE, NOT UPFRONT.

I THINK FOR US TO GET BACK TO GOOD GOVERNANCE, WE'VE GOT TO PUT THESE IN CONTROL AND I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE HAVE THE TALENTED LEGAL OPPORTUNITY HERE TO ENSURE THAT, TO BRING IT BACK TO US FOR APPROVAL. JUST AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS THE FINANCIAL VALUE IS LIKELY INCREASED OVER THE TIME HERE AND SO AS WE DO THIS, IT'S MORE LIKE A LAND HOLDING SO $2.5 MILLION AND WE STARTED SIX YEARS AGO, WE ALREADY SOLD OFF A PORTION OF THAT PROPERTY SO THAT VALUE GOES AWAY BUT NO ONE IS CREATING WATERFRONT PROPERTY ANYMORE SO MY CONCERN IS WE ARE LOSING THE VALUE ON THE CITY SIDE OF THE EQUATION AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE THIS THING FORWARD.

THE STATUS QUO WOULD BE THE SAME THING WE WERE ALWAYS DOING OR WHAT'S BEEN DONE IN THIS CASE SOMETIMES OUR LEASE HOLDS.

I WANTED TO GET THAT OUT BECAUSE WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE SURE MY THOUGHTS WERE VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND COGENT TO ALL THE ISSUES YOU'RE FACING. YOU AND I HAD THIS CONVERSATION, GUARANTEE MY OPTIONS, WHEN WE DID MEET, THANK YOU FOR SPENDING TIME WITH ME IT DID GIVE ME THE IMPETUS TO GET BACK AND EVALUATE ALL THE INFORMATION, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS, THEY HIRED ME TO LOOK INTO THINGS AND BE REALLY IN DEPTH WITH OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE IN THE PAST AND I JUST WANT TO THANK MY COMMISSIONERS AND MADAM CHAIR AND GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO FINALLY GET INTO SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE BEEN THROUGH NOW FOR SIX YEARS. I'M LATE TO THE TABLE, NOT MY FAULT, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, I DO ALL MY RESEARCH AND I DIG IN AND WHEN I GET TO THE TABLE I'M FULLY PREPARED TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AND NOT JUST OPERATE FROM EMOTION. THAT BEING SAID, I'LL GIVE IT BACK TO YOU MADAM CHAIR AND YOU CAN GO FROM THERE.

>> MY PERSPECTIVE IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT, I HAVE LIVED WITH

[01:30:01]

THIS TRANSACTION NOW FOR YEARS, I THINK.

SINCE MY DAYS ON STORE PRESERVATION BOARD AND PLANNING BOARD SO I UNDERSTAND INTIMATELY AND UNDERSTAND POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES OF AGREEMENT AS TO HOW IT'S STRUCTURED.

WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A CASE OF BECAUSE THE CITY COMMISSION IS SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXECUTION, UNLIKE MOST SCENARIOS WHERE THE COMMISSION WILL NOT GET INTO THE MINUTIA OF EVERY SINGLE PROJECT THAT THE CITY IS UNDERTAKING ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT THE COMMISSION IS IN THE MINUTIA AS YOU CAN TELL.

COMMISSIONER DZADOVSKY REPORT WAS VERY DETAILED BECAUSE HE'S DONE THE READING AND HAS GOOD POINTS.

COMMISSIONER JOHNSON POINT IS THE SAME.

FIVE PEOPLE UP HERE HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME ANALYZING THIS PROJECT AND ANALYZING -- UNDERSTANDING WHAT THESE ACTION DATES ARE. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE FOR YOU FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EVERY TIME THERE'S A HICCUP, YOU WILL GET DRAGGED IN HERE AND WE WILL HAVE TO FIX SOMETHING.

I'M JUST HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN ADDRESS IT ALL IN ONE NEW AMENDMENT, SWEEP ALL THIS STUFF INTO PROPER FORMAT.

THEN WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO IS TAKE THAT AMENDMENT AND BLOW IT UP TEN TIMES BIGGER THAN THAT, PUT IT UP IN YOUR CONFERENCE ROOM AND HIGHLIGHT EVERY DAY THERE SO YOUR 22 MEMBER TEAM IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THESE THINGS SPECIFICALLY.

I TALKED TO BILL ON THE PHONE, I TOLD HIM, HE KNEW I WAS NOT HAPPY. THIS WAS GOING TO BECOME AN ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT I SEE A PATHWAY HERE TO FIX THIS IN THE ENTIRETY BUT THE KEY THING HERE IS THIS WILL BE -- BUILD YOUR TEAM, SARA, CHEYENNE, MR. -- EVERYONE INVOLVED ON OUR SIDE, TO MAKE SURE THE DATES CELEBRATING THE AMENDMENT IS REALISTIC, I DON'T WANT TO PUT SOME NONSENSE OUT THERE THAT BACK HERE THREE MONTHS FROM NOW MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AGAIN AND I UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE COMPLETION DATES AND ALL THAT IF THAT'S WHAT YOUR EYE IS ON, YOU WANT TO GET BUILDING. UNFORTUNATELY IF THESE MILESTONES ARE NOT MET, THAT PERMIT DOES NOT GET ISSUED, YOU ARE NOT BUILDING. SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY YOU GET SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPLETELY FOCUSED ON THIS AND EACH DATE THAT GOES BY, SO MY SUGGESTION IS, EXACTLY AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY, DRAFT THE AMENDMENT,.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK FOR TURNAROUND TIME, TWO WEEKS?

>> THE REASON I BRING THAT UP IS THAT IF THE AMENDMENTS -- I. DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT YOU.

LET ME COME BACK. IF THAT'S THE CASE, I WANT THIS DONE RAPIDLY, I WANT IT DONE QUICKLY, DEFAULT NOTIFICATION OR TECHNICAL DEFAULT AND I WILL REFER TO THIS AS A TECHNICAL DEFAULT CACTUS IS NOT -- I. KNOW THE CITY ATTORNEY IS PROBABLY LOOKING AT ME TELLING ME TO SHUT UP BUT LET ME CONTINUE MY THOUGHT PROCESS. IT IS A DEFAULT.

NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL DEFAULT BECAUSE IT WAS APPLYING FOR PERMITS.

HAVING SAID THAT I BELIEVE TECHNICAL DEFAULT IS SUPERSEDED IMPORTANCE BY THE OVERALL SCOPE WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE SO IT'S UP TO YOU, BILL, CHEYENNE, MISS HEDGES, AND THIS COMMISSION TO FIX THIS. AND CLEAN IT UP.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO COME BACK HERE AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON THESE DATES THREE OR SIX MONTHS FROM NOW.

HAVING SAID THAT, I'M SUGGESTING A TWO WEEK TURNAROUND TIME, THAT'S TO GET SOMETHING DRAFTED AND PUNCHED INTO FINAL FORM.

>> MADAM CHAIR,. >> AS LONG AS YOU GET THE

INFORMATION FROM MR. WHERE. >> AS A REMINDER, ARE STILL TECHNICALLY IN CONTRACT WITH AUDUBON SO THE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT WILL BE WITH AUDUBON BECAUSE THE SALE IS NOT FINALIZED, THE ASSIGNMENT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED.

SO WE WILL ALL NEED TO WORK WITH AUDUBON'S ATTORNEYS TO GET THAT FINALIZED AS WELL AS MR. WARE. I WILL PROBABLY DO A LITTLE DIFFERENT DRAFTING TO GET LIVE OAKS SIGNATURE ON THIS AS WELL BUT TECHNICALLY, THE AMENDMENT WILL BE WITH AUDUBON.

I WOULD ASK THAT THIS BOARD IMPOSE A DEADLINE TO MR. WARE FOR WHEN HE NEEDS TO HAVE ALL HIS REQUESTS TO US BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO DRAFT THAT. THIS WILL HAVE TO COME BEFORE THE FPRA BOARD AS WELL AS THE CITY COMMISSION BECAUSE IT'S A THREE PARTY AGREEMENT SO IF WE HAVE THAT BY THE END OF THIS WEEK WE CAN HAVE THAT READY TO GO FOR YOU ALL FOR THE MAY 11TH AND 18TH AGENDAS, I WOULD SUSPECT THAT THAT -- WE NEED TO GET IT AND WE WILL HAVE TO WORK WITH AUDUBON'S COUNCIL TO GET IT

DRAFTED AND. >> WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A

SPECIAL MEETING. >> THE LONGER IT LANGUISHES OUT THERE THE MORE CONCERN I HAVE ABOUT CAN WE AND THE DEFAULT DAY WAS FEBRUARY 26TH SO WE ARE TWO MONTHS INTO THIS RIGHT NOW.

I WANT THIS DONE, I WANT IT MEMORIALIZED IN WRITING,, MOVED FORWARD. SO WHEN CAN YOU GET THE BULLET

POINTS TO START DRAFTING? >> JUST FOR CLARITY, THE BULLET POINTS YOU'RE REFERRING TO ARE THE EXHIBIT A, THE SCHEDULE?

>> YES. >> IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE

PLEASE LET ME KNOW. >> IT'S IN A, C, ALL OVER THE PLACE, SO IF I MAY, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SCHEDULES FOR TWO

[01:35:04]

DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS, THAT'S WHY THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

>> THEY NEED TO BE IN ALIGNMENT. >> CLEARLY, SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO GET THIS DONE, WE JUST DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME HERE SO I'M SUGGESTING, YOU GET YOUR STUFF TO SARA, YOU TELL US WHEN SHE WILL HAVE IT BECAUSE SHE'S GOING TO FORWARD IT TO US WHEN CAN YOU GET IT TO HER, AND THEN SARA, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR, ABOUT A WEEK FOR DRAFTING AND TURNING ON THE OTHER SIDE BECAUSE I KNOW AUDUBON'S ATTORNEYS AT TIME HAVE NOT BEEN OVERLY SPEEDY IN THEIR RESPONSES.

>> I'M TRYING TO -- >> MADAM CHAIR, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AUDUBON'S COUNSEL SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, THEY'RE READY TO GO. IF WE'RE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT BEING DRAFTED, SO I DON'T SUSPECT IT TAKES LONG TO DRAFT IT. IT'S GETTING EVERYONE TO AGREE TO ALL OF THE LANGUAGE THAT ENDS UP BEING THE BIGGER ISSUE.

SO MADAM CLARK REMINDED ME THE MEETING IS MAY 12TH, NOT MAY 11TH. FOR THE FPRA, IT'S A TUESDAY NOT A MONDAY. SO IN AN IDEAL WORLD IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG. IN REALITY I CAN'T GUARANTEE

ANYTHING. >> IF EVERYBODY'S GOOD HOLDING THE DATES UNTIL MAY 12TH, THAT'S WHAT? LESS THAN A MONTH? I'M OKAY WITH THAT, BUT I DON'T

LIKE IT HANGING OUT... >> SHE HAS TO MEET ADVERTISING

DEADLINES TOO. >> I WON'T MAKE AN ISSUE OUT OF IT. THAT'S A TIMELINE, YOU WILL JUST PUT IT IN THE RECORD WHEN YOU CAN GET THAT STUFF TO SARA SO WE KNOW THAT THINGS ARE OFF AND RUNNING.

BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, BEGINNING OF NEXT.

>> I CAN PROVIDE THE SCHEDULE BY THE END OF THIS WEEK WITH NO PROBLEM. IF THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT I NEED TO PROVIDE, I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE SO THAT I

ISS THAT DATE. >> THE SCHEDULED DATES ARE THE

CRITICAL THING AT THIS JUNCTURE. >> I THINK THAT'S WHERE I CAN

HAVE THIS WEEK. >> THAT'S WHERE THE ISSUE IS.

>> MADAM CHAIR SO I THINK STAFF CAN WORK THAT OUT, WE PROBABLY TRY A LITTLE BIT BUT I WANT TO APPRECIATE COMMISSION -- COMMISSIONER DZADOVSKY BECAUSE YOU'VE GIVEN US THINGS TO THINK ABOUT RIGHT AND AS WE LOOK TO ADVANCE ON SOME OF THESE CONTRACTS AND FUTURE, SOME THINGS THAT PROBABLY NEED TO GO INTO SOME OF THAT LANGUAGE SO THAT WE HAVE A PROTECTION SYSTEM THERE AND THAT WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT STAFF IS SUFFICIENTLY COMPENSATED FOR THIS AND ALL THESE RIGHT BACKS, IT MAKES SENSE, RIGHT? BUT WE GOT DEALT THE CARD AND WE HAD TO SHUFFLE AND WE'RE AT A POINT NOW THAT WE HAVE A TRUSTED AND FULLY CAPABLE COMPANY OF DOING THIS AND THEY BROUGHT THE HOTEL WHICH WAS THE BIGGEST QUESTION, WE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHO WOULD ACTUALLY BUILD A HOTEL, WE HAVE THAT, WE HAVE THAT CONTRACT SIGNED. BUT I THINK I'VE HEARD MAY IS OUR TARGET DATE SO STAFF, MAY IS THAT TIME FRAME WE WILL HEAR BACK, THE PUBLIC, WE'RE AWARE OF THAT? AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT AT THIS POINT.

I ECHO EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID UP HERE.

>> CAN I ADD ONE THING IF THAT'S OKAY MADAM CHAIR.

I'VE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO BILL OVER THIS ISSUE.

AND I HAVE DEEP CONCERNS AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED AND HOW IT HAPPENED. I UNDERSTAND THE EXPLANATIONS AND ALL THAT. BUT IF WE ARE USING MAY 12TH OR 11TH AS THE DATE, THIS IS NOT DONE BY THEN, NOBODY WILL GET ANY SYMPATHY FROM ME. LET ME MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR.

THIS ISN'T DONE BY YOUR PEOPLE -- AUDUBON'S PEOPLE AND OUR PEOPLE, I'M NOT LOOKING UPON THIS AS A VERY GOOD INDICATOR FOR MOVING FORWARD. YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN A HUGE SUPPORTER OF THIS ISSUE FROM DAY ONE, I'VE ADVOCATED ON BEHALF OF BILL AND HIS TEAM FROM DAY ONE BUT IF WE DON'T GET THIS FIXED TIMELY, DON'T COME KNOCKING ON MY DOOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO BE A HAPPY CAMPER. I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THAT WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON MY DECISION MAKING

MOVING FORWARD. >> AND IF I MAY, SIMPLY ASKED.

>> IT'S NOT A THREAT. >> I UNDERSTAND.

>> THAT'S WHY I'M SHARING, COMMISSIONER DZADOVSKY POINT, THE PENALTIES IN THIS ARE NON-EXISTENT.

I'M TELLING YOU THERE'S GOING TO BE A PENALTY, IF THIS IS NOT DONE SO WE NEED TO GET IT DONE. CHEYENNE FROM FPRA, MR. CHESS FROM THE CITY, SARA FROM THE CITY, BILL, YOUR TEAM, AUDUBON, I NEED TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THIS IMMEDIATELY.

>> UNDERSTOOD. >> I THINK I'VE SAID ENOUGH BUT

THAT'S MY TAKE. >> I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY AND MY QUESTION MY QUESTION IS THE MAY 12 DATE, IF I'M HEARING CORRECTLY IS THE CITY COMMISSION DATE.

>> FPRA. >> NEXT MEETING OF THIS BOARD.

>> THE NEXT MEETING OF THIS BOARD.

IS THAT WHEN IT WOULD BE VOTED ON AND APPROVED? MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE, SHOULD WE EXPEDITE THE DOCUMENT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THAT DONE EARLIER THAN MAY 12TH?

[01:40:03]

>> PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE OF THE ADVERTISING BUT IF WE CAN, WE'LL

DO IT. >> CITY COMMISSION MEETING

SOONER THAN THAT. >> OKAY.

IF WE GET IT DONE FIRST AND REALLY QUICKLY THEN WE CAN

ADDRESS THE ADVERTISING. >> UNDERSTOOD PIERRE COULD NOT

AGREE. >> I AM 100% IN SYNC WITH Y'ALL.

I WANT THIS DONE SOONER THAN LATER.

WE ALL WANT IT DONE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER AND MISS HEDGES, I KNOW YOU WILL REACH OUT OR I WILL REACH OUT TO AUDUBON'S COUNSEL AND ADVISE THEM OF THE EVENTS TONIGHT AND PUSH FOR THEM TO CONTACT YOU TOMORROW, TO START THAT DIALOG AND TO THE EXTENT THAT WE NEED COUNSEL AS A PARTY TO THAT AGREEMENT, YOU CAN ADVISE -- BECAUSE IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN LIKEWISE I WILL REACH OUT TO MY COUNSEL AND HAVE THEM CONTACT YOU SO THAT YOU'VE GOT ALL THREE COUNCILS FROM DAY ONE WORKING ON

THIS. >> THIS SUGGESTS YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO THAT QUICKLY. AND MISS HARNAGE AND MR. CHEESECAKE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE AND WHAT.

>> WE JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE -- I. WANT TO BE FAIR WITH MR. WARE THAT HE NEEDS TO TAKE HIS TIME AND SPELL THESE DATES OUT PROPERLY, YOUR TIMELINE, AND FEEL -- I. HOPE YOU'RE NOT IN A RUSH TO DO THIS AND YI SUBMIT SOMETHING THAT'S NOT WELL THOUGHT OUT, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SCHEDULE A SCHEDULE C ON HOW TIMELINES ARE NOT REALISTIC, I UNDERSTAND.

I REALLY WOULD WANT YOU TO GO BACK AND GET WITH YOUR TEAM AND LOOK AT EVERY DELIVERABLE THAT'S OUTSTANDING IN BOTH OF THOSE DOCUMENTS, SPELL IT OUT VERY CLEARLY, GET IT TO MISS HEDGES, WE HAVE OUR INTERNAL PROCESS AND I BELIEVE MISS HARNAGE WILL HAVE TO PUT IT THROUGH OUR PROCESS, IT GOES THROUGH REVIEW, GOES TO ME, IT GOES TO MISS HEDGES, SHE WILL HAVE BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU ALL AND THEN IT WILL GO TO US AGAIN SO THERE'S A PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THIS -- THAT YOU CLEARLY SPELL ALL THOSE TIME AND PROPOSALS OUT AND WORK IT OUT WITH YOUR TEAM SO WHEN IT COMES INTERNAL TO US THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND GET IT TO THE PROCESS AND GET IT ADVERTISED FOR THE AGENDA SO I UNDERSTAND, WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTION AND TAKE THE DIRECTION FROM OUR BOSSES BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR WITH YOU THAT YOU REALLY NEED TO GET THIS CORRECT THE FIRST TIME.

DON'T WANT TO GO BACK AND FORTH. >> AGREED AND APPRECIATE IT.

>> I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> I DO AND I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING SO AND AGAIN I WILL REITERATE THAT YOU WILL HAVE IT BY FRIDAY.

>> MADAM CHAIR MR. CHESS SHOULD WE ADDRESS THE DIRECTION ON THE CONFERENCE SPACE? DO YOU WANT.

>> THAT AFFECTS HIS TIMELINE. >> YES, BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF ADDING THAT FLOOR IS A MAJOR CHANGE TO HIS PERMIT AND ALL THESE THINGS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

IS THERE AN INTEREST IN PROCEEDING WITH THIS CONFERENCE BASE IN A FEASIBILITY STUDY? DO WE WANT TO STAY OUT OF IT,

WHAT ARE WE FEELING ABOUT THAT? >> MADAM CHAIR THERE'S A LOT GOING ON HERE AND I'M GETTING THE SENSE WE PROBABLY NEED TO BACK OFF THIS. WE'VE GOT GARAGE ISSUES SPACE WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, CONFERENCE, THIS MAY BE A LITTLE TOO MUCH AND THAT EVEN FOR THE PUBLIC APPETITE OF THIS AS WELL, I'M THINKING WE NEED TO GET A HOTEL FIRST AND THEN WE CAN GET -- FIGURE EVERYTHING ELSE OUT FROM THAT POINT ON.

>> FIVE MINUTE ONE FOLLOW UP. MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT WE'VE BEEN ENTERTAINING THE IDEA OF BUILDING ON OUR OWN EVENT CENTER OR CONFERENCE CENTER, ON THE FOURTH FLOOR.

COMPETITION WITH COMMERCIAL WORKERS DOING THIS FOR A LIVING, THE CITY IS NOT DOING THIS FOR A LIVING.

WE'RE JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE.

SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE QUESTIONING WHETHER THEY WILL PUT THAT TYPE OF FACILITY IN, OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT WILL BE COMING IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD ARE PLANNING LARGE EVENT CONFERENCE CENTERS AS PART OF THEIR OVERALL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME. SO WE BETTER OFF STAYING OUT OF THIS BUSINESS IN THE ENTIRETY AND LET THE PRIVATE SECTOR DEAL WITH THIS. THAT'S WHERE I'M WRESTLING WITH THIS NOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER TODAY THE CONFERENCE CENTER THAT WE WILL PUT IN, WE POTENTIALLY WILL BE COMPETING WITH BILL, WE KNOW WE WILL BE COMPETING WITH OTHER DEVELOPERS THAT BRING PRODUCT FORWARD AND SO I GUESS I'M JUST A LITTLE UNSETTLED WITH THE WHOLE THING RIGHT NOW SO I TEND TO AGREE WITH CURTIS, I WOULD PUT THAT ASPECT ON HOLD, I DO KNOW INITIATIVE FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING TO SUBMIT PERMITS

[01:45:02]

OR DESIGN THAT BUILDING IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN DEFENSE CENTER, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE FLOOR.

I'M JUST SUGGESTING I DON'T THINK IT'S IN THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST TO GET INTO THAT BUSINESS ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE

LOOKING AT DOING IT OURSELVES. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY AND DID I GET IN THERE THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE IN A PARTNERSHIP ABOUT THE CONFERENCE CENTER? WE AND THE CITY?

>> YES THE CITY OR THE FPRA. BILL CAME TO US WITH THAT IDEA THAT WE HAD COME FROM THE CONDITION AT SOME POINT.

IT WASN'T IN HIS ORIGINAL SITE PLAN OR SCOPE.

HE WAS TRYING TO APPEASE EVERYONE AND ADDRESS ALL OF OUR CONCERNS AS A CITY SO IF THAT'S NOT THE DIRECTION THAT THE COMMISSION AND THE FPRA BOARD WANT TO GO, THEN WE DON'T HAVE

TO. >> UNLESS THE HOTEL WANTS TO DO IT ON THEIR OWN. HAVE AT IT.

>> EVERYBODY GOOD? OKAY, YOU CLEAR ON THAT

MR. WARE? >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I KNOW IT DOES.

IT NEEDED THAT ANSWER. IT HELPS US.

I THINK WE ARE DONE HERE SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING IN HERE AND LOOK FORWARD TO MAY. INDEED.

>> CAN I JUST HAVE ONE FOLLOW UP COMMENT, IF THERE ARE DELAYS IN THIS PROCESS ANYWHERE, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADVISED SO I CAN GET IN THERE AND KICK SOME. WE ARE GOING TO KEEP EVERYONE

HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. >> YOU WOULD BE ADVISED.

>> PEN AND PAPER I WANT... IF ANYONE IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET I'M NOT SUGGESTING THERE'S AGREEMENT -- IF WE HAVE TO I

WILL GET ON THEM TO GET IT DONE. >> UNDERSTOOD.

>> WILL KEEP ME POSTED. >> I WILL CERTAINLY DO IT.

>> EMAIL, I'M IN THE WINGS WAITING.

>> YOUR ENFORCER. [LAUGHTER]

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

THE RECIPIENT FOR THIS COMMERCIAL FACADE GRANT HAS REQUESTED A THIRD AMENDMENT FOR HER COMMERCIAL FACADE PROJECT.

THERE WERE DELAYS DUE TO MATERIALS AND THEN SHE HAD RELATED MATTERS THAT CAUSED THE EXTENSION REQUESTS.

THERE WAS A FULL TENANT TRANSITION, A MOVE OUT, NEW TENANT BUILD OUT, AND NEW RENOVATIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED SO SHE'S READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FINAL DESIGN TO PROCEED WITH HER PERMITTING. SHE'S OBTAINED A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS THROUGH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT BUT SHE STILL HASN'T RECEIVED THE FINAL PERMIT.

SO SHE NEEDS AN ADDITIONAL THREE MONTHS WHICH WOULD EXTEND THIS DEADLINE TO JULY TENTH OF THIS YEAR TO SUBMIT TO SECURE HER APARTMENT'S. THE THREE.

>> THE THREE MONTHS WILL GIVE HER TIME TO GET HER PERMIT.

SO THIS IS A THIRD EXTENSION. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT BUT I THINK THIS IS KIND OF MY LAST EXTENSION.

>> THEY FIT WHAT WE WERE DOING FOR US FACADE OR WHATEVER IT IS.

>> IT'S JUST AN EXTENSION NOW. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR.

>> QUICK QUESTION ARE THEY IN PERFORMANCE NOW?

>> SHE'S IN THE PROCESS YES SO SHE OBTAINED HER CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AND I THINK SHE'S IN -- MOVING INTO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD NEXT TO OBTAIN THAT FINAL APPROVAL.

>> SHE'S GOT HER CO, SHE'S ALREADY THROUGH THE PRESERVATION

THEN? >> MADAM CHAIR, TO MY KNOWLEDGE HE DOES HAVE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS THROUGH THIS

DRUG PRESERVATION. >> I'M ASKING ARE THEY INTO THE BUILDING PERMIT WITH CONSTRUCTION PLANS?

>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO. THE APPLICANT IS HERE, THE

RECIPIENT IS HERE. >> I'M SIDING WITH THE MAYOR, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT, THIS IS

THE LAST ONE THO, THAT'S IT. >> LET'S GET IT DONE.

>> YEP. >> ANYBODY ELSE?

[01:50:01]

>> WITH THE FACT THAT GETTING YOU THROUGH THE DOOR -- ADA ISSUES, CHALLENGES THAT SOME PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE ARE OUT THERE SO AGAIN, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STREAMLINE SOME OF THESE THINGS MAYBE IN OUR PROCESS AND POLICIES.

>> YOUR EXPERTISE IN THAT AREA BECOMES VERY.

[INAUDIBLE] >> FEDERAL CODE, STATE CODE,

COUNTY CODE, CITY CODE,. >> GETS A LOT.

SO THREE MONTHS IS WHAT IT IS AND THREE MONTHS WILL BE ENOUGH.

>> JULY TENTH WOULD BE THE FINAL.

>> A MOTION FOR THAT? >> YES.

IF YOU WANT IT -- >> ANYONE ELSE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT? CURTIS YOU'RE OKAY? SO LET'S DO -- IT'S A RESOLUTION.

CLAUSE PROVIDING... >> MISS GARCIA.

SO THIS IS THE 510 ORANGE AVENUE BUILDING OWNED BY BUNYAN INC., THEY'RE TRYING TO OPEN THAT BUILDING AS A -- AN EDUCATION FACILITY SO HE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS.

IT WASN'T AS EASY AS SUBMITTING THE PERMIT YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS THAT WAS APPROVED THROUGH THE PLANNING BOARD YESTERDAY AND IT WILL BE COMING BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION IN MAY FOR APPROVAL BUT HE DID REQUEST SIX MONTHS IN ORDER TO GET THAT THROUGH THOSE BUILDING PERMITS AND THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION AFTER THAT.

>> SO SIX MONTHS TO GET THE BUILDING PERMITS, IS THAT IT?

I'M FINE WITH IT. >> ME TOO.

THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAD TO CHANGE AT THE LAST MEETING, THE RECIPIENT INDICATED THOSE ARE -- SHE WAS GOING TO BUILD A DUPLEX ON THE PROPERTY. UNFORTUNATELY THE LOT SIZE IS

SHE WOULD? >> CORRECT, YES.

BUT SHE WILL BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND SHE WILL MEET THE MILESTONES OF THE SLAB AND EVERYTHING ELSE AS LAID OUT.

>> CORRECT. >> OKAY.
