The Loan was secured by a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment of Rents and Leases and Fixture Filing (the "Mortgage"), executed by RainDance SPE, for the benefit of Hall Winter Haven, LLC, which encumbered the property on which the Project is located. As additional security for the Loan, Hall Winter Haven, LLC required RainDance SPE to execute a Collateral Assignment of Developer’s Agreement (“Collateral Assignment”) for the benefit of Hall Winter Haven, LLC. The City and CRA acknowledged and consented to this Collateral Assignment on June 14, 2021. As is customary with transition from construction financing to permanent financing, prior agreements and assignments may be assigned to the new lender.

The Commercial Façade Grant amount was established in the 1990’s, through a partnership with Main Street Winter Haven. The maximum grant amount has never increased. The Residential Improvement Grant was established in 2020-2021 and likewise has not increased. As construction costs have increased over the last decade, as well as in recent years, discussion has ensued regarding increasing grant maximums.

The Developer has incurred significant, substantial, and unanticipated development costs concurrent with the construction of Phase 1, requiring and additional investment of approximatley $4.6 million, reducing projected profitabililty by 50%, and significanlty altering the project pro-forma.

CRA BOARD MEETING JUNE 10, 2024 FACT SHEET MY WIN T ER H A V EN. C OM PAGE 1 OF 1 DATE: May 29, 2024 TO: Chairman Yates and CRA Board VIA: Eric Labbe, Director of Economic Opportunity & Community Investment FROM: Angie Hibbard, CRA Manager SUBJECT: Increase Grant Maximum for Residential Improvement Grants BACKGROUND In the Florence Villa CRA the current maximum grant amount for the Residential Improvement Grants is $5,000. The Commercial Façade Grant maximum is $10,000. The Residential Improvement Grant was established in 2020-2021 and has not increased. As construction costs have increased, discussion has ensued regarding increasing the Residential Improvement Grant maximum. The FY 2023-2024 budget includes $250,000 for Residential Improvement Grants. We have reimbursed $35,908.07 this year and currently have three applications approved for work for a total of $15,000 and 11 applications in various stages of the application process totalling $55,000, leaving $144,091.93 of the budget amount unallocated. The pending applications should be ready for Advisory Committee presentation at the July 15 meeting and staff does not anticipate the work being complete and submitted for reimbursement for all the applications prior to the end of the fiscal year. FINANCIAL IMPACT A change in the maximum amount of the grant would not change the current budget line item, but would reduce the total maximum number of potential applicants. However, staff believes the remaining unallocated balance is sufficient for the remainder of the fiscal year. FVCRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Florence Villa CRA Advisory Committee, at their April 15, 2024 regular meeting, recommended increasing the grant maximum for Residential Improvement Grants to $10,000. No other changes to the program were recommended. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends increasing the maximum grant amount for Residential Improvement Grants from $5,000 to $10,000 and allowing any recipient that has applied in the last 24 months to reapply for additional funding for new work. 16

CRA BOARD MEETING JUNE 10, 2024 FACT SHEET MY WIN T ER H A V EN. C OM PAGE 1 OF 1 DATE: May 29, 2024 TO: Chairman Yates and CRA Board VIA: T. Michael Stavres, City Manager M.J. Carnevale, Deputy City Manager Eric Labbe, Director of Economic Opportunity & Community Investment FROM: Angie Hibbard, CRA Manager SUBJECT: Lightning Alert Siren BACKGROUND In September 2022 an updated plan for The Florence Villa CRA was completed and adopted by Resolution R-22-37. Included in the Plan is Goal 4: Reduce Crime and Create a Safer Living Environment. In the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Florence Villa CRA budget there is money allotted for Other Capital Improvements - Future Projects. Staff worked with DTN LLC in 2022 for a lightning alert system - OnGuard Siren Alerting Solution and WeatherSentry Online. The contract at that time was for two sirens installed in the Downtown CRA area and access to the online weather system and tools. The selection for the purchase in September of 2022 identified this system to be more accurate, using technology to detect lightning and not predict lightning. In addition, this is the same system the Polk County School Board and LEGOLAND use. The proposal is for a siren to be installed at the Rueben Williams Sports Complex and adding this location for the online support and siren alerting. The Capital Improvements – Future Projects line item includes $104,396. The complete package is $12,405 (siren system is $9750 for the current stock, shipping and installation is $2,655). This will leave a balance of $91,991. However, DTN LLC anticipates a price increase once the current stock of available sirens are purchased. DTN LLC anticipates the current stock to be depleted in June of 2024. FINANCIAL IMPACT Total estimated cost is $12,405 at the current in-stock price. Adequate funds are available within the Other Capital Improvements – Future Projects line item of the Florence Villa CRA Budget. FLORENCE VILLA CRA ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION On April 15, 2024 the Florence Villa CRA Advisory Committee unanimously recommended approval to purchase the Lighning Alert Siren from the Other Capital Improvements- Future Projects line item. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the CRA Board approve the purchase and installation of the OnGuard Siren Alerting Solution and WeatherSentry Online system with DTN and authorize the City Manager to take any actions necessary and related thereto.

One immediate area of concern discussed was a large older picnic pavilion along the trail, adjacent to the skate park at Lake Silver. After internal discussions on community policing with Public Safety, Parks & Recreation and Downtown CRA, several action items were identified with the repurposing of the pavillion area as having an immediate impact. In the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Downtown CRA budget there are several Capital Improvement Projects for which construction will not be started prior to the end of the fiscal year. Staff worked with Whitehead Construction on options for the area that include continuing to provide additional amenities to the skate park, repurpose the area and remove an attractive nusiance, repurposing the area into a smaller skate park expansion, utilizing stored skate art. Whitehead Construction was the original contractor on the existing skate park and shade structures and is under the City’s General Contractor agreement ITB-23- 48. They have provided a proposal for the following scope of work: • Remove & dispose of existing pavilion roof structure, columns and concrete slab • Furnish & install new 4” thick reinforced concrete slab with thickened edge • Relocate several skate features from City’s storage to Lake Silver Skate Park (These features have been assessed by the contractor and staff and with the rehabilitation provided within this scope of work will be in working order.) • Place skate features onto new slab • Pressure wash (prior to moving) & paint existing skate features (once at new site) • New sod where damaged Staff and the contractor will work with members of the local skateboarding community on the final placement of the skate features.
