Trustee Thomas requested that in the negotiations there be an incentive based on
accom plishment.
Upon the vote being taken, the motion that the Chairperson negotiate with Ms. Magee
carried unanimously.
The Chairperson questioned what should be offered stating the job had been advertised
with a salary of $50,000 to $70,000 and Ms. Magee is currently making $65,000.
Trustee Thomas stated that the cost of living in Ft. Lauderdale is higher than that in
Clearwater and suggested a base salary of $55,000 be offered but that a significant bonus of
$10,000 based upon accomplishing goals also be available.
.rhe Chairperson questioned if there were any disagreement with this approach and
there was none.
Trustee Fitzgerald requested a clarification regarding the $10,000 bonus, asking if that
was annual. Trustee Thomas indicated it was and there would be measurable goals for each
year. He stated he would like a three year contract and that the Chairperson format what is
to be accomplished. The Chairperson indicated the goals are not a part of the original
agreement and that is to be negotiated with the entire CRA each year.
Trustee Berfield questioned if it was $55,000 plus $10,000 and Trustee Thomas
indicated that they may want to include a cost of living increase.
Trustee Garvey advocated no cost of living increase with the salary to be based on the
evaluation each year. She questioned exactly what was the $10,000 bonus, whether or not it
was all or nothing. It was indicated that the bonus would be from $0 to $10,000.
Trustee Barfield questioned what benefits would be available. It was indicated that the
benefits would be those SAM? employees.
H. M. Laursen, Human Resources Director, indicated that a standard benefit of those
employees not a part of the pension plan was for a 6% contribution by the City to the ICMA
. deferred compensation program.
The Chairperson indicated he would get with the Human Resources Director to assure
. that a comparable benefits package is offered.
In response to a question from the Chairperson, consensus of the CRA was that
relocation expenses would also be offered.
The Executive Director indicated they may need to address club dues and it was
indicated this would be addressed if it were requested.
The Chairperson indicated another important issue had to do with whether or not a
suiff person would be provided. It was agreed that an administrative or executive secretary
. would be provided.

c) (Cont. from 8/2/93) Amended Budget for FY 1992-93
The revenue budget has been amended to equal actual tax increment revenues received
and to increase the estimated interest ~arnings due to a larger than anticipated cash balance
during the year.
The expenditure budget has been modified to delete the budget for "transfers for
capital projects", and instea,d this amount now shows at the bottom as "excess of revenues
over expenditurest'. Unless this excess is appropriated to a "specific redevelopment project
pursuant to an approved community redevelopment plantl between now and September 30,
1993, the actual balance, including funds carried forward from the prior year, will be
transferred. into the debt service fund and, restricted for use in retiring existing eRA debt.
Dan Deignan, City Finance Director, indicated the amended budget had been modified
pursuant to recommendations at the August 2 meeting. He stated miscellaneous expenditures
now show at $13,500, that the professional services for the East End project had been
reduced and the transfer now shows funding for redevelopment projects.
Chairperson Deegan questioned how much detail would be needed for the funding for
redevelopment projects.
The Executive Director indicated that in order to do this, they may have to identify
projects per the existing plan. It was indicated that a list of potential projects would be
. available for CRA review at the first meeting in September.
Trustee Thomas moved to approved the amended budget for fiscal year 1992/93. The
motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
d) Clarification of Budget Process
The secretary requested clarification of direction provided at the August 2 meeting
stating that it had been requested that a column be added for the CRA in the City budget ad.
It was indicated that this was causing difficulties and the Budget Director was requesting that
a separate ad be allowed for CRA. Consensus of the CRA was to allow this.
The secretary also requested clarification regarding the dates and time for the budget
public hearings indicating that regular CRA meetings are now on the Mondays. It was her
understanding that the public hearings on the budget had been set for September 2 and 16
which were Thursday night meetings for the City Commission,
. It was 'stated that it was the purpose to have the meetings on Thursday night in order
tohave public input. It was the consensus to have the eRA meeting begin at 5:30 'p.m. on
those dates in order to allow public comment on the budget.

e) Sale of eRA property In conjunction with Sun Bank (Atrium) Building
It was stated that this would come back to the eRA for final resolution at their August
30 meeting. A draft of the proposal has been sent to the CRA trustees.
Trustee Thomas stated that in paragraph 1, the purchaser should pay all closing costs. .
Consensus was to make this change.
Trustee Garvey questioned the provision regarding air space. Mr. Justice, representing
the potential purchasers, stated this was to allow them to place a roof on the fourth floor of
the parking garage. Consensus of the CRA was that the provision regarding air space was
appropriate. Consensus was the joint use easement agreement was appropriate.
Regarding paragraph 2, Trustee Fitzgerald expressed concerns regarding the language
that they would be obligated to hold up to 150 parking spaces on the Bilgore site. It was felt
the preferable language would be to offer 150 spaces. Mr. Justice indicated their purpose
was to assure the spaces needed would be available on a month to month basis and that a
month notice would be needed in order to provide the spaces.
Trustee Thomas expressed that this was a difficult issue as the CRA would not be Into
the business of leasing one space at a time. He felt that once the parking lot is constructed,
the purchasers should be responsible for leasing 1 50 spaces.
Further discussion ensued regarding this commitment and Mr. Justice indicated it
would not be possible for him to commit to leasing the entire 1 50 spaces.
Chairperson Deegan emphasized today is for reaction to the proposal. Final resolution
will come back on August 30. He indicated it should be in the agreement that upon
notification by the buyer of the need of parking, the seller will make it available.
Discussion ensued regarding whether or not the term of the lease on the Bilgors
property would be five years. Trustee Thomas expressed there would be a problem for the
.buyer if.alternative parking could not be found and they would be left without the parking
spaces at the end of the five year term.
Chairperson Deegan emphasized that it is not the responsibility of the eRA to provide
> the comparable parking however, they may help in identifying and obtaining it.
Consensus of the CRA was to remove the phrase "renewable for two consecutive five
year terms". Mr. Justice agreed that a buyer's concern would be that they would have 150
spaces but they would be gone In five years.
Chairperson Deegan stated' that paragraph 2 needed to be reworked and that the buyer
will be looking for up to 1 50 spaces made available on the Bilgore site five years from the
date of closing. The Attorney indicated the parking lot would not be built until the purchasers
give notice to proceed.

The Executive Director stated the eRA would need 90 to 120 days to bid and
construct the parking lot.
It was the consensus to include a 120 day provision to provide the parking. It was
also the consensus to add a contingency that would not hold the eRA responsible should such
things as weather prohibit meeting the 120 day time frame.
In paragraph 3, regarding the parking garage purchase, the purchasers had proposed a
price of $25,000 for the option to purchase the parking garage. Trustee Thomas
recommended $200,000. It was suggested the $200,000 could be credited against the
purchase price, Mr. Justice indicated he had spoken to the buyers and they had agreed to
increase the option price to $50,000.
Trustee Thomas stated the original cash outlay proposed by the purchasers was
$430,000 for the Bilgore property. He felt strongly the price of the option should be
$200,000. Trustee Fitzgerald agreed stating there would be a cash outlay in order to build
the parking lot on Bilgore.
Mr. Justice Questioned what price had been mentioned for outright purchase of the
Bilgore property and the Chairperson indicated $433,000 was the only figure he had heard
mentioned.
The term being renewable for two consecutive five year terms is to be deleted.
Chairperson Deegan stated the eRA would be willing to extend if there is no comparable
parking identified within the first five year time frame.
It was indicated the purchase price would be an appraised price with a CPI increase
established by the National Urban Index. It was also indicated the interest rate would be
prime minus one at the time of the option being exercised and the building pur.chased. This
figure will be adjusted on an annual basis.
Discussion ensued regarding down payment on the parking garage and it was indicated
that if the purchasers agree to the $200,000 option, that would simply be transferred into the.
down payment at the time of exercise of the option.
Chairperson Deegan disagreed with a right of first refusal for lease of parking spaces
, on the top two floors of the parking garage stating that most often these are used by
shoppers. He was concerned regarding taking these spaces away from being available to the
public.
Trustee Thomas recommended giving an option on up to a specific number. Mr.
Justice indicated they had been told 42 spaces are leased on a monthly basis and he indicated
they would need a minimum of 100.
Chairperson Deegan stated he would be willing to give a right of first refusal of up to a
specific number and it was the consensus of the eRA to put in 100 spaces.

Trustee Thomas questioned the proposal that the purchase of the garage be a five year
balloon with a 20 year amortization. It was indicated the purchasers had not requested that
and therefore, it was not in the agreement.
The Executive Director questioned who would pay taxes, including property and sales
taxes. It was the consensus that the CRA would pay property taxes on Bilgore, if any, and
any sales taxes would be paid by the purchasers.
Regarding paragraph 4, regarding the police station, again it was requested the 2
consecutive five year terms be deleted.
Chairperson Deegan expressed concern that it be clear that Charter requirements be
met and it was the consensus to add "unless the City receives a higher offer which the buyer
is unwilling to match".
Paragraph 5, regarding the spaces surrounding the parking garage, was discussed. A
question was asked regarding whether or not there were 38 or 39 spaces. The Executive
Director recommended the language be changed to etas indicated on the survey II . Consensus
was to do this.
Concern was expressed that this would cut off access to the driveway and, this would
need to be addressed. Mr. Justice indicated that if the purchasers exercise the option to buy
the parking garage, they would then own those spaces. Concern was expressed that these
spaces would need to be available to the police department. Mr. Justice indicated his concern
was that there would be no legal access to the spaces and he would like for it to be
understood that an easement will be there when they exercise the option to buy the garage.
,The Executive Director indicated the concern was that the easement cuts off part of the police
department property.
~ i
Trustee Thomas questioned if Mr. Justice was saying that if the option is exercised.
that the purchasers can then use those spaces. Mr. Justice indicated he is saying it is a
concern that they not be denied access by not having an easement. A concern was
expressed that an easement would devalue the property.
Trustee Barfield questioned whether an easement could be granted with the
acceptance of a right of first refusal and whether or not they could legally block someone's
access. Mr. Justice indicated he is asking the City to recognize that they have spaces that
they will not be able to access.
The Chairperson indicated there were several options and he recommended going with'
the City Attorney's recommendation. It was also requested that the term of 99 years be
removed.
Mr. Justice indicated he would get with the Executive Director and the Attorney and
come back on August 30 in order to conclude this transaction. .
