Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE: October 4, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM WS.5 -WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 DIRECTION REGARDING THE RELOCATION OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Discussion regarding the relocation of the Chamber of Commerce. BACKGROUND The City, the CRA, the Chamber and the Old Library Development LLC entered into an Agreement known as the Chamber of Commerce Relocation and Public Parking Space Agreement dated April 21, 2008. The Agreement provided (through Amendment No. 1) for the build out and relocation of the Chamber space to the northwest portion of the Old School Square garage retail space. Under the terms of the Agreement, the relocation would not occur until the closing of the old library property had occurred. Also, Old Library Development would pay to the City the cost of the rough shell construction, $567,810.00 and the cost of the build out of the space $473,175.00; the developer would also pay approximately $15,000 to the Chamber for moving expenses and other miscellaneous expenses; the CRA would pay to the City the difference in the fair market value, based on the original appraisal, and the rough shell cost in the amount of $315,450.00. All of these costs would be paid at or subsequent to the closing on the old library site. The CRA, on September 12, 2012, terminated their agreement with Old Library Development LLC and pursuant to the existing agreements the ownership of the Chamber site and old library parking lot property would revert back to the City. City staff has met with CRA staff and representatives of the Chamber to discuss the possibility of a new agreement. The terms of the proposed new Agreement would be as follows: 1) The CRA would buy out the City’s interest in the property at the current appraised value. The entire site was recently appraised at $2.6 million, or $40.00 per square foot. Using that value the City’s portion of the site would be worth approximately $1.6 million. A second appraisal has been ordered for comparison. An arrangement could be made whereby the CRA could pay for the property over a specified period of time with interest (i.e. 10 years at 3% interest), or if the CRA receives market value for the property from a developer the City could be paid off earlier. The CRA having ownership of the entire site provides the greatest amount of flexibility in terms of how future development can occur (i.e. outright purchase, a land lease, etc.). 2) The Chamber would be relocated as soon as possible to the City-owned space in the Old School Square garage, and the City would hold the lease for the remaining term. The CRA would pay the costs for the build-out, and as previously agreed to by the CRA Board (1-26-12), the Chamber would repay the CRA $250,000 of those costs over a 15-year period at 4% interest. 3) The CRA would reimburse the City for the cost of the building shell ($567,810). This would replace the $315,450 that the CRA had previously agreed to pay the City to compensate for the value of the garage space. Other provisions of the existing Agreement regarding the CRA being responsible for the future maintenance of the joint public/private parking facility would presumably remain the same. There was some discussion regarding the amount of public parking that would have to be replaced on the site in a future RFP. The consensus was that it should be reduced to reflect that the Chamber of Commerce offices will no longer be there generating a demand (approximately 23 spaces). A further reduction could also be considered for the library building itself as well—that number would have to be determined through additional analysis. At this time staff is seeking direction on whether or not to continue with a revised Agreement, as outlined above. If direction is given to proceed, we anticipate placing the revised agreements, which would also include a revised lease agreement with the Chamber, on an agenda in November or December. ~ CRA BOARD SUMMARY ~ OLD LIBRARY SITE—NEXT STEPS Background With the action of the CRA Board on September 12, 2012, terminating the purchase and sale agreement on the Old Library Site with Old Library Development LLC, CRA staff initiated a meeting between the Tri-Party participants that were involved in the assemblage of the various parcels related to the site. These include the City, Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce and the CRA. The discussion related to next steps regarding disposition of the properties and relocation of the Chamber. By way of historical background, in July of 2003 the City, CRA, and Delray Beach Public Library Association, Inc. entered into a Tripartite and Interlocal Agreement providing for the relocation of the public library from SE 4th Avenue to CRA-owned property in the south 100 block of West Atlantic Avenue. The agreement and subsequent amendments allowed for the exchange of the CRA-owned site with the City-owned library property on SE 4th Avenue for the purposes of soliciting development proposals for the former library/parking lot/Chamber site. The Agreement stated that upon the sale of the property to a developer the CRA was entitled to receive the first $1.7 million of the sale proceeds. This amount was equivalent to the appraised value of the West Atlantic property the CRA had provided for the new library. The City would receive any residual proceeds from the sale. After the library relocated into the new building on the West Atlantic site, the CRA issued an RFP for the CRA and City-owned properties, which collectively became known as “The Old Library Site.” On October 12, 2006, the CRA considered two responses to the RFP and selected the redevelopment proposal from Coastal Design and Development Group (CDDG), which subsequently became known as Old Library Development LLC. Their proposal was for a multi-use complex that included retail, office, a hotel and a public/private parking facility. There were several contingent requirements of that RFP, including relocation of the Chamber of Commerce and replacement of public parking currently on the site. The CRA board voted to approve a $315,450 contribution to the City to relocate the Chamber of Commerce into the commercial space on the ground floor of the newly constructed Old School Square Parking Garage. This amount was to partially compensate the City for the value of the garage retail space. An agreement between the City, the developers, the CRA, and the Chamber of Commerce regarding the details of the Chamber relocation was ultimately approved. Existing Tri-party Agreement In February 2008, the City, CRA, and Chamber of Commerce agreed to a separate Tri-party Interlocal Agreement regarding the transfer of the City-owned parcels to the CRA as well as the Chamber of Commerce lease. The Agreement included the following provisions:  The City agreed to transfer ownership of its parcels to the CRA for the purposes of offering the entire site in an RFP. This was accomplished by warranty deed. The Chamber’s lease with the City was subsequently assigned to the CRA. The CRA agreed to transfer the property back to the City and re-assign the Chamber lease back to the City in the event that the closing with the developer did not take place. 20 N. Swinton Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 Additional Information for October 9, 2012 Workshop Meeting; Item WS.5  It restated the financial conditions whereas the CRA would receive the first $1.7 million from the sale of the property to the developer and the CRA would contribute $315,450 to compensate the City regarding the relocation of the Chamber to the Old School Square garage.  It further stated that the CRA would pay the public’s pro-rata share of the costs of maintaining the public parking spaces in the newly created public-private parking facility that the developer would construct on the premises. The reason that the CRA was asked to cover these costs was because 95% of the TIF that would accrue from this development would go to the CRA, not the City. Old Library Purchase and Sale Agreement (Terminated) The Purchase and Sale Agreement with Old Library LLC had the developer paying $3 million for the property as well as the following costs associated with the Chamber relocation: $567,810.00 ($50/sq. ft. reimbursement of City’s cost to construct the retail shell) $473,175.00 ($75/sq. ft. estimated cost to build out the space for the Chamber) $15,000.00 (to cover moving expenses and some furnishings) $312,000.00 in lieu parking fees Shortly after the execution of the Agreement economic conditions worsened to the point that the project was not feasible under the stated terms. Several extensions were granted but conditions have still not improved to the point where the project could move forward without substantial revisions, and the contract was terminated. Proposed New Tri-Party Agreement As noted above, the existing Tri-party Agreement includes a reverter clause stating that if the CRA does not convey the property to the Developer, the CRA shall convey the property back to the City. On September 20, 2012 Vin Nolan and I met with City Manager David Harden, City Attorney Brian Shutt, and Chamber of Commerce representatives Mike Malone, Scott Porten and Francisco Perez-Azua. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how to move forward with the redevelopment of the site under a restructured Tri-Party Agreement. After considerable discussion a proposal was put forward to keep the property intact under the CRA’s ownership, and replace the existing Tri-party Agreement with a new Agreement. The terms of the new Agreement would be as follows: 1) The CRA would buy out the City’s interest in the property at the current appraised value. The entire site was recently appraised at $2.6 million, or $40.00 per square foot. Using that value the City’s portion of the site would be worth approximately $1.6 million. A second appraisal has been ordered for comparison. An arrangement could be made whereby the CRA could pay for the property over a specified period of time with interest (i.e. 10 years at 3% interest), or if the CRA receives market value for the property from a developer the City could be paid off earlier. The CRA having ownership of the entire site provides the greatest amount of flexibility in terms of how future development can occur (i.e. outright purchase, a land lease, etc.). 2) The Chamber would be relocated as soon as possible to the City-owned space in the Old School Square garage, and the City would hold the lease for the remaining term. The CRA would pay the costs for the build-out, and as previously agreed to by the CRA Board (1-26-12), the Chamber would repay the CRA $250,000 of those costs over a 15-year period at 4% interest. Additional Information for October 9, 2012 Workshop Meeting; Item WS.5 3) The CRA would reimburse the City for the cost of the building shell ($567,810). This would replace the $315,450 that the CRA had previously agreed to pay the City to compensate for the value of the garage space. Other provisions of the existing Agreement regarding the CRA being responsible for the future maintenance of the joint public/private parking facility would presumably remain the same. There was some discussion regarding the amount of public parking that would have to be replaced on the site in a future RFP. The consensus was that it should be reduced to reflect that the Chamber of Commerce offices will no longer be there generating a demand (approximately 23 spaces). A further reduction should also be considered for the library building itself as well—that number would have to be determined through additional analysis. While the arrangement suggested above places a somewhat greater financial burden on the CRA than the previous agreements and contracts, it will help to make the City whole in terms of its share of the property as well as preserve the public parking benefit. Relocating the Chamber expeditiously and reducing the number of public parking spaces that have to be replaced on site will make the property more attractive to prospective developers. Due to the fact that the site is owned by a public entity it is currently exempt from ad valorem property taxes. As previously noted the CRA will receive 95% of the TIF revenues that will be generated from future privatization and redevelopment of the site. At this time staff is asking the Board to discuss these proposed terms in light of the current circumstances and provide direction. The City Manager intends to schedule a discussion of the item with the City Commission in October. If a consensus is reached among the parties formal agreements can be drawn up for consideration in November/December. Submitted By: Diane Colonna, Executive Director & Vin Nolan, Economic Development Director Attachment(s): City/CRA/Chamber Triparty Interlocal Agreement dated February 21, 2008 Additional Information for October 9, 2012 Workshop Meeting; Item WS.5 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: R. Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE: October 4, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM WS.6 -WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 DIRECTION REGARDING THE OSS GARAGE RETAIL SPACE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Staff is seeking direction regarding the Old School Square garage retail space. BACKGROUND At its September 4, 2012 meeting the Commission directed staff to update its prior appraisal for the retail space. The updated appraised value for the space is $2,060,000.00. The City currently has the space listed for sale at a price of $2,000,000.00. The City has received two letters of intent for the purchase of this property. The Letter of Intent from Marcus and Millichap is in the amount of 1.7 million dollars. The Letter of Intent from Kanner & Pintaluga is in the amount of 2 million dollars, however, this group has also requested the exclusive use of 100 parking spaces in the garage and the termination of our lease with the CRA. In structuring the financing of the construction of the OSS garage the City issued a taxable line of credit totaling 3 million anticipating that the eventual sale of the retail space to a private entity would pay off the line. The balance on the line of credit is $2,479,000. At this point, based on the updated appraisal, and input from the City’s broker, Ingrid Kennemer, I would recommend that the asking price be raised to an amount closer to the $2,479,000 balance on the line of credit. From: Ingrid Kennemer [mailto:Ingridk@bellsouth.net] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 2:23 PM To: Shutt, Brian Subject: OSSPG Brian, Kanner & Pintaluga have revised their offer on the space at the parking garage. Please see below. If you have any questions please let me know. Regards, Ingrid Kennemer, CCIM 561‐441‐0967 Ingrid, per our conversation earlier today I have spoken with my client the Law Offices of Kanner & Pintaluga and they propose the following: 1. Increase the purchase price to $2,060,000 the current appraised value. 2. Pay as additional compensation the sum $440,000 upfront bringing the total compensation to $2,500,000. 3. The $440,000 will be utilized to secure annual parking permits at the cost of $95.40 per parking permit. The rate suggested is the same rate the city charges for annual parking permits. This will provide the purchaser with parking as needed for their business. If you have any questions or require clarification please let me know. Thank you, Jim MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: October 1, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM WS.7 -WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 CONSIDER BID PROPOSAL FOR THE FED CUP SEMI-FINALS ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Commission is requested to provide staff direction concerning submitting a bid to be the host site for FED Cup semifinals to be held in the U.S. April 20 -21, 2013, if the U.S. team and Czech Republic teams win their quarter final matches. BACKGROUND Attached is the USTA notice for bids for the FED Cup semifinals, which could be held in the U.S. April 20 -21, 2013. Also attached, is the Bid Guidelines for hosting the FED Cup. The FED Cup is the women’s equivalent of the Davis Cup. The cash requirement to host this semifinal event is $200,000 versus the $400,000 required for the Davis Cup finals. We did receive a commitment from the CRA in the amount of $75,000 and the TDC $75,000, with approval to the Sports Commission to provide additional funding for the Davis Cup finals. We would again try to secure funding from these organizations, hotel room commitments, as well as revenue sharing from the USTA and work to get room commitments from our local hotels. Economic impact for this event would probably be closer to $1,000, 000 versus $2,000,000 for the Davis Cup finals. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Commission consideration of authorizing staff to submit a bid for the FED Cup semifinals. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Douglas E. Smith, Assistant City Manager THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: October 4, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM WS.8 -WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 DISCUSSION REGARDING STATE AND FEDERAL LOBBYING SERVICES ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before Commission is a discussion regarding state and federal lobbying services. BACKGROUND At previous Commission meetings, Commissioner Carney mentioned an interest in state level lobbying and Commissioner Gray expressed interest in federal level lobbying. The City's most recent state level lobbyist was the Aleksander Group who was retained to represent the City regarding funding and regulatory issues at the state level (the City ended the agreement in 2007). The Aleksander Group's contracted fee was $5,000 per month plus expenses. The City recently received a proposal from Ballard Partners for two state lobbying options: 1). to represent the City regarding transient housing legislation at a fee of $15,000 for the 2013 legislative session and 2). to provide comprehensive state lobbying services at an annual cost of $45,000. Boca Raton is a current client of Ballard Partners. For federal lobbying, the City previously contracted with two firms: Alcalde & Fay and Artemis Strategies (the City ended these agreements in 2007). Both firms were contracted for federal lobbying services including assistance with federal appropriation requests. The Alcalde & Fay agreement also provided for grant assistance. The contracted cost for each firm's services was $5,000 a month plus expenses. The purpose of this workshop discussion is to obtain direction from the Commission regarding whether to pursue federal and/or state lobbying services at this time. Staff will provide the Commission with additional proposals and/or agreements, as needed, for any services the Commission may wish to pursue. Staff does not feel that federal lobbying would have a significant impact in terms of federal grant funding at this time. However, lobbying for a specific issue, such as federal beach renourishment, could be pursued as well. Funding will need to be allocated for any lobbying services that the Commission selects. RECOMMENDATION Staff is seeking Commission direction regarding possible state and/or federal lobbying services.

Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE:October 4, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM WS.5 - WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 DIRECTION REGARDING THE RELOCATION OF THE CHAMBER O F COMMERCE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Discussion regarding the relocation of the Chamber of Commerce. BACKGROUND The City, the CRA, the Chamber and the Old Library Development LLC entered into an Agreement known as the Chamber of Commerce Relocation and Pub lic Parking Space Agreement dated April 21, 2008. The Agreement provided (through Amendment No. 1) for the build out and relocation of the Chamber space to the northwest portion of the Old School Square garage retail space. Under the terms of the Agreement, the relocation would not occur un til the closing of the old library property had occurred. Also, Old Library Development would pay t o the City the cost of the rough shell construction , $567,810.00 and the cost of the build out of the sp ace $473,175.00; the developer would also pay approximately $15,000 to the Chamber for moving exp enses and other miscellaneous expenses; the CRA would pay to the City the difference in the fai r market value, based on the original appraisal, an d the rough shell cost in the amount of $315,450.00. All of these costs would be paid at or subsequent t o the closing on the old library site. The CRA, on September 12, 2012, terminated their ag reement with Old Library Development LLC and pursuant to the existing agreements the ownership o f the Chamber site and old library parking lot property would revert back to the City. City staff has met with CRA staff and representativ es of the Chamber to discuss the possibility of a n ew agreement. The terms of the proposed new Agreement would be as follows: 1) The CRA would buy out the City’s interest in the property at the current appraised value. The entire site was recently appraised at $2 .6 million, or $40.00 per square foot. Using that value the City’s portion of the site would be worth approximately $1.6 million. A second appraisal has been ordered for comparison. An arran gement could be made whereby the CRA could pay for the property over a specified period of time with interest (i.e. 10 years at 3% interest), or if the CRA receives market value for the property from a developer the City could be paid off earlier. The CRA having ownership of the e ntire site provides the greatest amount of flexibility in terms of how future development can occur (i.e. outright purchase, a land lease, etc.). 2) The Chamber would be relocated as soon as possible to the City-owned space in the Old School Square garage, and the City would hold the lease fo r the remaining term. The CRA would pay the costs for the build-out, and as previously agre ed to by the CRA Board (1-26-12), the Chamber would repay the CRA $250,000 of those costs over a 15-year period at 4% interest. 3) The CRA would reimburse the City for the cost of th e building shell ($567,810). This would replace the $315,450 that the CRA had previously ag reed to pay the City to compensate for the value of the garage space. Other provisions of the existing Agreement regardin g the CRA being responsible for the future maintenance of the joint public/private parking fac ility would presumably remain the same. There was some discussion regarding the amount of public park ing that would have to be replaced on the site in a future RFP. The consensus was that it should be red uced to reflect that the Chamber of Commerce offices will no longer be there generating a demand (approximately 23 spaces). A further reduction could also be considered for the library building i tself as well—that number would have to be determined through additional analysis. At this time staff is seeking direction on whether or not to continue with a revised Agreement, as outlined above. If direction is given to proceed, w e anticipate placing the revised agreements, which would also include a revised lease agreement with t he Chamber, on an agenda in November or December. ~ CRA BOARD SUMMARY ~ OLD LIBRARY SITE—NEXT STEPS Background With the action of the CRA Board on September 12, 2012, terminating the purchase and sale agreement on the Old Library Site with Old Library Development LLC, CRA staff initiated a meeting between the Tri-Party participants that were involved in the assemblage of the various parcels related to the site. These include the City, Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce and the CRA. The discussion related to next steps regarding disposition of the properties and relocation of the Chamber. By way of historical background, in July of 2003 the City, CRA, and Delray Beach Public Library Association, Inc. entered into a Tripartite and Interlocal Agreement providing for the relocation of the public library from SE 4 th Avenue to CRA-owned property in the south 100 block of West Atlantic Avenue. The agreement and subsequent amendments allowed for the exchange of the CRA-owned site with the City-owned library property on SE 4 th Avenue for the purposes of soliciting development proposals for the former library/parking lot/Chamber site. The Agreement stated that upon the sale of the property to a developer the CRA was entitled to receive the first $1.7 million of the sale proceeds. This amount was equivalent to the appraised value of the West Atlantic property the CRA had provided for the new library. The City would rece ive any residual proceeds from the sale. After the library relocated into the new building on the West Atlantic site, the CRA issued an RFP for the CRA and City-owned properties, which collectively became known as “The Old Library Site.” On October 12, 2006, the CRA considered two responses to the RFP and selected the redevelopment proposal from Coastal Design and Development Group (CDDG), which subsequently became known as Old Library Development LLC. Their proposal was for a multi-use complex that included retail, office, a hotel and a public/private parking facility. There were several contingent requirements of that RFP, including relocation of the Chamber of Commerce and replacement of public parking currently on the site. The CRA board voted to approve a $315,450 contribution to the City to relocate the Chamber of Commerce into the commercial space on the ground floor of the newly constructed Old School Square Parking Garage. This amount was to partially compensate the City for the value of the garage retail space. An agreement between the City, the developers, the CRA, and the Chamber of Commerce regarding the details of the Chamber relocation was ultimately approved. Existing Tri-party Agreement In February 2008, the City, CRA, and Chamber of Co mmerce agreed to a separate Tri-party Interlocal Agreement regarding the transfer of the City-owned parcels to the CRA as well as the Chamber of Commerce lease. The Agreement included the following provisions:  The City agreed to transfer ownership of its parcels to the CRA for the purposes of offering the entire site in an RFP. This was accomplished by warranty deed. The Chamber’s lease with the City was subsequently assigned to the CRA. The CRA agreed to transfer the property back to the City and re-assign the Chamber lease back to the City in the event that the closing with the developer did not take place. 20 N. Swinton Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 Additional Information for October 9, 2012 Workshop Meeting; Item WS.5  It restated the financial conditions whereas the CRA would receive the first $1.7 million from the sale of the property to the developer and the CRA would contribute $315,450 to compensate the City regarding the relocation of the Chamber to the Old School Square garage.  It further stated that the CRA would pay the public’s pro-rata share of the costs of maintaining the public parking spaces in the newly created public-private parking facility that the developer would construct on the premises. The reason that the CRA was asked to cover these costs was because 95% of the TIF that would accrue from this development would go to the CRA, not the City. Old Library Purchase and Sale Agreement (Terminated) The Purchase and Sale Agreement with Old Library LLC had the developer paying $3 million for the property as well as the following costs associated with the Chamber relocation: $567,810.00 ($50/sq. ft. reimbursement of City’s cost to construct the retail shell) $473,175.00 ($75/sq. ft. estimated cost to build out the space for the Chamber) $15,000.00 (to cover moving expenses and some furnishings) $312,000.00 in lieu parking fees Shortly after the execution of the Agreement economic conditions worsened to the point that the project was not feasible under the stated terms. Several extensions were granted but conditions have still not improved to the point where the project could move forward without substantial revisions, and the contract was terminated. Proposed New Tri-Party Agreement As noted above, the existing Tri-party Agreement includes a reverter clause stating that if the CRA does not convey the property to the Developer, the CRA shall convey the property back to the City. On September 20, 2012 Vin Nolan and I met with City Manager David Harden, City Attorney Brian Shutt, and Chamber of Commerce representatives Mike Malone, Scott Porten and Francisco Perez-Azua. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how to move forward with the redevelopment of the site under a restructured Tri-Party Agreement. After considerable discussion a proposal was put forward to keep the property intact under the CRA’s ownership, and replace the existing Tri-party Agreem ent with a new Agreement. The terms of the new Agreement would be as follows: 1) The CRA would buy out the City’s interest in the property at the current appraised value. The entire site was recently appraised at $2.6 million, or $40.00 per square foot. Using that value the City’s portion of the site would be worth approximately $1.6 million. A second appraisal has been ordered for comparison. An arrangement c ould be made whereby the CRA could pay for the property over a specified period of time with interest (i.e. 10 years at 3% interest), or if the CRA receives market value for the property from a developer the City could be paid off earlier. The CRA having ownership of the entire site provides the greatest amount of flexibility in terms of how future development can occur (i.e. outright purchase, a land lease, etc.). 2) The Chamber would be relocated as soon as possible to the City-owned space in the Old School Square garage, and the City would hold the lease for the remaining term. The CRA would pay the costs for the build-out, and as previously agreed to by the CRA Board (1-26-12), the Chamber would repay the CRA $250,000 of t hose costs over a 15-year period at 4% interest. Additional Information for October 9, 2012 Workshop Meeting; Item WS.5 3) The CRA would reimburse the City for the cost of the building shell ($567,810). This would replace the $315,450 that the CRA had previously agreed to pay the City to compensate for the value of the garage space. Other provisions of the existing Agreement regarding the CRA being responsible for the future maintenance of the joint public/private parking facility would presumably remain the same. There was some discussion regarding the amount of public parking that would have to be replaced on the site in a future RFP. The consensus was that it should be reduced to reflect that the Chamber of Commerce offices will no longer be there generating a demand (approximately 23 spaces). A further reduction should also be considered for the library building itself as well—that number would have to be determined through additional analysis. While the arrangement suggested above places a somewhat greater financial burden on the CRA than the previous agreements and contracts, it will help to ma ke the City whole in terms of its share of the property as well as preserve the public parking benefit. Relocating the Chamber expeditiously and reducing the number of public parking spaces that have to be replaced on site will make the property more attractive to prospective developers. Due to the fact that the site is owned by a public entity it is currently exempt from ad valorem property taxes. As previously noted the CRA will receive 95% of the TIF revenues that will be generated from future privatization and redevelopment of the site. At this time staff is asking the Board to discuss these proposed terms in light of the current circumstances and provide direction. The City Manager intends to schedule a discussion of the item with the City Commission in October. If a cons ensus is reached among the parties formal agreements can be drawn up for consideration in November/December.

Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE:October 4, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM WS.6 - WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 DIRECTION REGARDING THE OSS GARAGE RETAIL SPACE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Staff is seeking direction regarding the Old School Square garage retail space. BACKGROUND At its September 4, 2012 meeting the Commission dir ected staff to update its prior appraisal for the retail space. The updated appraised value for the s pace is $2,060,000.00. The City currently has the space listed for sale at a price of $2,000,000.00. The City has received two letters of intent for the purchase of this property. The Letter of Intent fro m Marcus and Millichap is in the amount of 1.7 million dollars. The Letter of Intent from Kanner & Pintaluga is in the amount of 2 million dollars, however, this group has also requested the exclusiv e use of 100 parking spaces in the garage and the termination of our lease with the CRA. In structuring the financing of the construction o f the OSS garage the City issued a taxable line of credit totaling 3 million anticipating that the eve ntual sale of the retail space to a private entity would pay off the line. The balance on the line of credi t is $2,479,000. At this point, based on the updated appraisal, and input from the City’s broker, Ingrid Kennemer, I would recommend that the asking price be raised to an amount closer to the $2,479,000 balance on the line of credit.

Barcinski, Assistant City Manager THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:October 1, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM WS.7 - WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 CONSIDER BID PROPOSAL FOR THE FED CUP SEMI -FINALS ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Commission is requested to provide staff direction concerning submitting a bid to be the host site for FED Cup semifinals to be held in the U.S. April 20 - 21, 2013, if the U.S. team and Czech Republic teams win their quarter final matches. BACKGROUND Attached is the USTA notice for bids for the FED Cu p semifinals, which could be held in the U.S. April 20 - 21, 2013. Also attached, is the Bid Guidelines for hosting the FED Cup. The FED Cup is the women’s equivalent of the Davis Cup. The cash requirement to host this semifinal event is $200,000 versus the $400,000 required for the Davis Cup finals. We did receive a commitment from the CRA in the amount of $75,000 and the TDC $75,000, with approval to the Sports Commission to provide additional funding for the Davis Cup fin als. We would again try to secure funding from these org anizations, hotel room commitments, as well as revenue sharing from the USTA and work to get room commitments from our local hotels. Economic impact for this event would probably be closer to $1,000, 000 versus $2,000,000 for the Davis Cup finals. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Commission consideration of author izing staff to submit a bid for the FED Cup semifinals. MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Douglas E. Smith, Assistant City Manager THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:October 4, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM WS.8 - WORKSHOP MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2012 DISCUSSION REGARDING STATE AND FEDERAL LOBBYING SER VICES ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before Commission is a discussion regardin g state and federal lobbying services. BACKGROUND At previous Commission meetings, Commissioner Carne y mentioned an interest in state level lobbying and Commissioner Gray expressed interest in federal level lobbying. The City's most recent state level lobbyist was the Aleksander Group who was retained to represent the City regarding funding and regulatory issues at the state level (the City ended the agreement in 2007). The Aleksander Group's contracted fee was $5,000 pe r month plus expenses. The City recently received a proposal from Ballard Partners for two state lobbying options: 1). to represent the City regarding transient housing legi slation at a fee of $15,000 for the 2013 legislativ e session and 2). to provide comprehensive state lobb ying services at an annual cost of $45,000. Boca Raton is a current client of Ballard Partners. For federal lobbying, the City previously contracte d with two firms: Alcalde & Fay and Artemis Strategies (the City ended these agreements in 2007 ). Both firms were contracted for federal lobbying services including assistance with federal appropri ation requests. The Alcalde & Fay agreement also provided for grant assistance. The contracted cost for each firm's services was $5,000 a month plus expenses. The purpose of this workshop discussion is to obtai n direction from the Commission regarding whether to pursue federal and/or state lobbying services at this time. Staff will provide the Commission wit h additional proposals and/or agreements, as needed, for any services the Commission may wish to pursue. Staff does not feel that federal lobbying would have a significant impact in terms of federal grant funding at this time. However, lobbying for a specific issue, such as federal beach renourishmen t, could be pursued as well. Funding will need to be allocated for any lobbyi ng services that the Commission selects. RECOMMENDATION Staff is seeking Commission direction regarding pos sible state and/or federal lobbying services.
