HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Pursuant to Florida Statute section 163.380(3)(a), the City is required to provide public notice by advertising for at least 30 days prior to the disposition of any City-owned property in a CRA, stating the intent of the disposition and inviting proposals. At the April 22, 2021 meeting, City Council approved the publication of the legal notice as requested by staff, with some amendments.
Three submittals for redevelopment were received by the June 30, 2021 deadline, from Caldwell Associates, Carson-Lovell Group, and Inspired Communities. The submittals were provided to City Council very quickly thereafter. Due to the time constraints posed by the submittal deadline, the relevant statute, and the agenda preparation for the meetings of the City Council, City staff immediately composed a matrix and began a fact-finding review of the submittals, which is attached. Also, an executive summary as prepared by our contract broker is attached.
As a discussion item at the July 12, 2021 Agenda Conference, the Mayor requested a special meeting to further address these items and provide his recommendation for the ranking of the submittals. The three submittals were also included as part of that discussion item. City Council agreed to the scheduling of a special meeting and expressed a desire for presentations from the submitting groups.
