He then broke down the figures they were requesting. Vice Chair Coachman made a motion to approve the City’s Code Enforcement Division Interdepartmental Funding Application FY2025-2026. Board Member Barnebey seconded the motion. Chair Kocher asked how the outlined department description is above and beyond what is normal for that department.

Board Member Moore asked about using an area by the parking garage mural for people to take selfies and calling it a “Selfie Pad” and possibly adding signage, to encourage people to take selfies there which would add to the city’s branding. In honor of Chair Kocher, Board Member Barnebey made a motion to approve the Public Works Downtown Maintenance Initiative Interdepartmental Funding Application FY 2025/2026. Vice Chair Coachman seconded, and the motion passed unanimously 5-0. 7. OTHER DISCUSSION/ NEW BUSINESS Mr. Burton briefly referred to the Grant Report which he stated was very detailed, $282,000 in the Tamiami Trail CRA, $97,000 in the Central CRA and $321,000 in the Downtown CRA. He added there was a Team Meeting the day prior with city staff regarding the 13 th Avenue Youth Center site, the Roger’s site, and there was a water line that needed to be installed for that construction and that contract to take place. The price has gone up another $50,000 because of the time lapse. Mr. Burton recommended that the CRA pay that extra amount because that water line provides pressure throughout that neighborhood for the Fire Department. That would bring the total amount for the CRA to $200,000. The developer pays $300,000 and the city pays $150,000 in impact fees. He added that, to move the process forward, the water pipe needs to be done

Page 3 of 3 before anything else can happen on that site. Mr. Burton stated staff would bring back a contract outlining that. He added that staff was waiting for Public Works to provide a time for the water line to be started and installed and he was working with the developer for the closing date. These issues would be brought back to the Board in an amendment. Mr. Burton also stated that, at the last minute, the city requested 2,400 s.f. of property for a turn lane and staff is working with them to figure out the best way to process that. Vice Chair Coachman asked when there would be shovels in the ground for Love Park. Mr. Burton stated he would have Ms. Erin Jones from Purchasing come to the next meeting to give an update on that. 8.

Page 2 of 6 5. CRA ALL DISTRICTS a. Bradenton Police Department FY 2025-2026 Community Policing Funding Request Chris Munyon, CRA Manager, discussed the BPD annual interdepartmental funding application for the Community Policing Innovations Initiative Project which focuses on utilizing specially trained police officers and a dedicated case worker to address unique challenges within the CRA Districts. Mr. Munyon provided an updated application, reflecting a reduction in cost, to the board members for their review. Lieutenant Christopher Deshaies addressed the Board explaining the budget overview in more detail including policing, light areas, CPTED practices, and working with public and private sectors to revitalize all CRA areas. Sergeant Aaron Pilant provided a brief explanation of CPTED, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design which was a different way of looking at security by designing security with a more open thought on the use of environmental aspects and way finding. Lieutenant Deshaies continued his description of the budget overview examples. Board Member Barnebey made a motion to approve the request as presented by the Bradenton Police Department for the Bradenton Police Department FY2025- 2026 Community Policing Funding Request. Board Member Coachman seconded the motion. Board Member Barnebey commented on the difficult work of the Bradenton Police Department and how much she appreciated their great work. Board Member Coachman added her appreciation. Board Member Moore provided a story regarding the Bradenton Police Department’s great resource finding skills for people. Mr. Jeff Burton stated the CRA staff would be addressing sinking funds for the Community Policing in the general budget and commended the BPD for their thorough reporting. Following discussion, the motion for the Bradenton Police Department FY2025- 2026 Community Policing Funding Request was approved unanimously 5-0. 6. DOWNTOWN CRA a. Vacant Land Purchase Contract with Manfull Land Development Services, LLC., for a property located at 1001 9 th Ave. E.

Page 3 of 6 a. Vacant Land Purchase Contract with Manfull Land Development Services, LLC., for multiple vacant parcels located on 8 th St. E and 11 th Ave. E. Mr. Burton stated Item 7a was being pulled due to new information and would be brought back at a later date. 8. OTHER DISCUSSION/ NEW BUSINESS a. Love Park Update and Discussion Mr. Burton stated staff was working on Love Park and had the final documents. CRA staff took them back to the Central CRA Advisory Board the previous week who approved them unanimously. Mr. Burton stated the CRA budget was in line with what they want to spend to include CPTED, cameras, lighting, key entries and exits, environmental benefits, and low-impact development, with storm water pre-treatment on-site. Mr. Burton added that Public Works was included in the design to make sure they would be getting what they needed to make the park as low-maintenance as possible. The park would have a half- court basketball court, artificial grass, a meeting area next to one of the gates, utilizing existing trees, along with parking spaces on the street with handicap accessibility. He stated everything is ADA compliant and with the help of the BPD and Public Works, the only thing the staff was working on was the public art component. Mr. Burton added they were working with a public art consultant who was working with the architect who designed the park to come up with art, and she wants to meet with the Love family to make sure that what is included in the park artistically aligns with the community and with the Love family’s idea. Mr. Burton said this park would be one of the most beautiful parks he has ever been involved with designing, and everything was durable and made to work with different age groups. He stated the project was out to bid so they could get it under construction as soon as possible. Chair Kocher asked about the surface indicated as blue and white on the visual aids. Mr. Burton stated there were some round areas that would be rubber, but most of the walkways would be pervious concrete or pervious pavers. The basketball court would also be concrete and then artificial grass is the same kind as used at the Riverwalk. Mr. Burton added they would not be using that rubberized walking surface because it is made of chopped up tires and not good for the project. Chair Kocher also asked about the warrantying of the materials. Mr. Burton stated the State of Florida requires every contracted work has a minimum of one year on it by the contractor. The equipment will have longer warranties on it, and the CRA staff has created sinking funds in all the CRAs for maintenance well into the future. Mr. Burton stated the design of the park took longer and the price of construction went higher. The CRA staff had already budgeted for it, but they did have a request from the designer for an additional $50,000 for the design which is within the budget, and they can work with it. Mr. Munyon stated staff had met with Public Works regarding keeping the park as low maintenance as possible for cost reasons. 15

Page 4 of 6 Board Member Barnebey asked if there were any dates for the CRA conference. Mr. Burton replied the dates were October 14 th through the 17 th in West Palm Beach at the Hilton, and if anyone planned on attending, that was the time to let CRA Program Administrator, Karen Kyser, know. In addition, Mr. Burton stated that on September 9 th through the 11 th, the Florida Brownfield’s Association would be having their annual conference at the Marriot Resort and Spa in Palmetto, Florida. He added that Bradenton would be participating and likely showing off the land on 14 th Street with the developer under contract, because that was a Brownfield site. Board Member Barnebey noted there was a City Council and a CRA meeting on September 10 th. Mr. Burton stated they would need to go back and forth. Board Member Moore stated she has been hearing from people about the Riverwalk and being able to compliment the officers that are assisting. In addition, she shared that her family was experimenting with sharing a car and using Freebee quite a bit. She wanted to relay to Freebee to; 1) enhance the experience, 2) make sure that the arrangement with Palmetto was as it should be, and 3) she thought it was a good potential source of data when discussing a grocer downtown. Board Member Moore added, pursuant to her experiences with Freebee, her concerns that you could not schedule rides, but you could mark your pick up outside of where you are physically located, because it is GPS operated. She did not feel it was as easy as the representative stated it was. Also, the ride wait time in the morning vs. the late afternoon rush hour jumps from less than 10 minutes to 45 minutes. Because you can watch the driver on the app, she was able to see her driver hit all three grocery stores in Palmetto, while Freebee drivers were driving by her in Bradenton. Board Member Moore suggested obtaining data to evaluate what the full arrangement is with Palmetto, and to suggest to the Freebee creators that there be a better mechanism in the app for assigning a driver. Mr. Burton responded stating that the city was currently within a six month data collecting period, and a re-evaluation date would be coming. Per his experience with Freebee, they would adjust accordingly based on data. Mr. Burton discussed a park and ride system as well. Mr. Burton stated he had a great conversation with Professor Trent Green at USF School of Architecture and Community Design, and they were putting together a contract regarding Continuing Research Services that the city could piggyback with Tampa on their agreement. The agreement would be for Professor Green’s grad students to study what Bradenton has including doing GIS work and GEO coding of the area to work with the CRA. Mr. Burton stated that during the last CCRA meeting, there was a discussion regarding a piece of property which had been appraised and the CRA had an unsolicited bid on, for less than half the price that the property was worth. Mr. Burton sat down with the developer and explained to them that the CRA would have to get the CCRA to make a recommendation to take back to the Board. If the Board decided it wanted to sell the property, it would be for the appraised amount. If the Board relayed what it wanted staff to do with it, there would be incentives available. A quick estimate done with the developer resulted in a price of $55,000 for the land, new construction was just over a 16

Page 5 of 6 million, the incentives would be around $120,000. He discussed that process leading up to a final decision by the Board. The CCRA recommended moving forward. Chair Kocher asked about Mr. Iaboni. Mr. Burton stated he would be coming back with finalized reports for the Board to review. Mr. Burton stated that he had spoken with Mr. D’Addeo about a grocery store. He added he told Mr. D’Addeo that he was not ready to talk to him or take anything to the Board until McDonald’s was under construction and there had been a groundbreaking on that. Mr. Burton stated that during the City Council meeting, a piece of land was discussed that needed to be surplused first. He also stated there were two identified Brownfield locations downtown next to that property, and there was reason to believe that there was a stigma on the site to be put on the market that it was also a Brownfield site. The CRA can deem it a Brownfield Redevelopment area according to the statute. Once the CRA is given that authority, they will also work with that attorney to move that forward. It will be a nice incentive for a developer if they deem a portion for workforce housing to gain sales tax back from that construction which could mean hundreds of thousands of dollars for that development. The gas station across the street is on the Oculus site at the state level. The FDEP has a site that lists Brownfields and all the paperwork that goes with them called Oculus. Also, across the street on 14 th, was a Brownfield site. In addition, Mr. Burton said that in the Consent Agenda, the CRA owns a piece of property in the Central CRA that used to be the Police Department substation. There was money in the budget to
