Item No.
R�2 I�-
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
PREPARED BY: Cynthia Lindsay, Finance Director
SUBMITTED BY: Norton N. Bonaparte, Jr., ICMA-CM, City Manager
SUBJECT: Termination Of Intergovernmental/Interagency Agreement Between The
City Of Sanford And The Sanford Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) Relating To Sanford Downtown/Waterfront Catalyst Site
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:
❑ Unify Downtown & the Waterfront
❑ Promote the City's Distinct Culture
❑ Update Regulatory Framework
❑ Redevelop and Revitalize Disadvantaged Communities
SYNOPSIS:
City Commission approval of an agreement entitled "Termination Of
Intergovernmental/Interagency Agreement Between The City Of Sanford And The Sanford
Community Redevelopment Agency Relating To Sanford Downtown/Waterfront Catalyst Site" is
requested.
FISCAL/STAFFING STATEMENT:
The City has taken action that will allow the implementation of this Agreement with funds deriving
from reserves.
BACKGROUND:
On May 8, 2017 the City and the CRA entered an Intergovernmental/Interagency Agreement
relating to the funding of the so-called Catalyst Site (the "2017 Agreement') which provided for
$5.2 million in funding by the CRA for the streetscaping project relating to the implementation of
the Catalyst Site/Heritage Park Project. The funding obligation arises from the terms and
conditions of the Development Agreement pertaining to the Catalyst Site enacted by means of
Ordinance Number 4403.
The City's creation of the CRA resulted from the Board of County Commissioners of Seminole
County delegating authority to the City for the establishment, expansion and operation of a
community redevelopment agency through the adoption of numerous resolutions which were
adopted under the controlling provisions of State law and the County Home Rule Charter. Under
the delegation, however, the existence of the CRA will be sunsetting on December 31, 2025.
The City and CRA have determined that the provisions of the 2017 Agreement are not needed to
fund the provisions of the $5.2 million streetscaping project provided for in the Development
Agreement.
Upon approval, the City Manager would direct the City's Finance Director to adjust funds and
accounts to address and implement the termination of the 2017 Agreement and the necessary fiscal
and accounting changes and to take any and all other implementing actions to ensure funding of
the streetscape project under the Development Agreement is available.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The Assistant City Attorney has prepared this agenda memorandum and has no legal objection to
the action proposed.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends that the City Commission approve the Agreement.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
"I move to approve the filing Agreement."
Attachment: 2017 Agreement.
