THE 2021 CERTIFIED TAXABLE PROPERTY VALUES WAS 254,737,028.

[00:05:05]
ADLON HAD REQUESTED A REDUCTION BASED ON THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND THEIR COSTS.SO THEY ASKED THE BOARD IF THEY WOULD IF YOU WOULD REDUCE THE PURCHASE PRICE TO 71 BY $71,854.25.
SO I HAD REPORTED THAT THE NEW SALES PRICE WOULD BE $192,510.75.
THAT'S BASED ON THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE 1626 ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, WHICH WAS 142,000.
AND THEN THEY ASKED FOR THE ADDITIONAL TRIANGULAR PIECE THAT WAS PART OF KOSKI POND.
THEY ESTIMATED THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND WE HAVE SINCE GOTTEN THE ACTUAL SURVEY.
SO THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS SMALLER.
AND SO WITH THAT, THE NEW SALES PRICE WOULD BE $171,407.74.
SO IN SPEAKING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY MANAGER, THEY HAVE AGREED TO THAT SALES PRICE.
THAT'S OUTSTANDING. THANK YOU, MA'AM.
LET THE RECORD REFLECT THAT YOU BRIEFED US ON THAT AND IT WAS PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS AND YOU WERE GUIDED BY OUR CITY ATTORNEY IN THAT REGARD, IS THAT CORRECT? ABSOLUTELY. CAN I GET YOUR AMEN ON THAT ONE, MADAM? PATRICIA? YES, SIR.

ANYTHING TO REPORT, MA'AM? THANK YOU, SIR. NOPE.JUST GLAD TO BE HERE TO HELP OUT.
THANK YOU, MA'AM. MR. WEINBERG? YES, THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN.
ONE THING I JUST WANT TO BRING UP AND MAYBE A LITTLE PREMATURE, BUT WE HAD DISCUSSED THIS BEFORE, THAT ONCE ONCE THIS THIS THE SUNSETS THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.
SEEING THE THE TAX INCREMENT FUNDING AND CONTRIBUTING THAT TO A ROAD MAINTENANCE FUND.
WELL, I DO KNOW THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED IT NOT ONLY AS A BOARD, BUT WE'VE ALSO DISCUSSED IT AS COUNCIL AND SOME OF THAT DISCUSSION ALSO SURROUNDED GETTING AROUND INITIATIVES FOR BUSINESSES, TAX INITIATIVES AS WELL.
SO IT WAS A SPLIT, IF YOU WILL.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THOUGH, WE STILL GOT TIME, BUT I REMEMBER ON COUNCIL WE SAID, HEY, WE COULD THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM HERE TO PROVIDE INITIATIVES, YOU KNOW, INITIATIVES SO THAT WE CAN INCREASE OUR TAX BASE, OUR COMMERCIAL TAX BASE TO INCREASE FUNDING TOWARDS OUR ROADS.
BUT YES, SIR, I AGREE WITH YOU.
I, I AGREE WITH MR. WEINBERG. I APPRECIATE BECAUSE IT WAS WE GAVE THAT DIRECTION.
EVERY TIME I'M IN PUBLIX OR ANYWHERE, YOU KNOW, WHERE ARE WE IN REGARDS TO PROGRESSING WITH DOWNTOWN PALM BAY AND BRINGING THAT INTO FRUITION? BECAUSE WE'VE AS A BOARD HAVE GIVEN DIRECTION TO STAFF AND TO OUR BROKER, YOU KNOW, ON WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS A COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY IS GIVEN DIRECTION THAT, HEY, THEY WANT A DOWNTOWN PALM BAY TOO.
SO JUST TO, YOU KNOW, FIND OUT WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT.
SO THAT'LL BE ALL. YEAH, LIKE A TOWN CENTER.
YEAH. ALWAYS KEEPING THAT IN THE FOREFRONT.
RIGHT, SIR? UH MR. FELIX. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. SO ALONG THE SAME.

MR. FELIX. RIGHT ALONG THAT SAME VEIN.
RIGHT. WE ALL ANTICIPATED SOMETHING WHEN WHEN MR. TIMMONS PURCHASED THAT PROPERTY, AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH OF ANYTHING HAPPEN IN TWO YEARS.

[00:10:03]
