CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Harmening called the meeting to order at 5:19 P. M. to consider supporting
the Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant application by agreeing to
lease real property for proposed parking garages from First Financial Plaza
Condominium Association, Inc. and J & J Ventures of Florida reference
infrastructure grant.
Ann Ford, Downtown District Coordinator, displayed a diagram depicting the two
parking structures, which would be five stories and approximately forty feet
high. She advised that the First Financial Plaza Condominium Association, Inc.
and J & J Ventures of Florida are willing to lease these structures for $1.00
per year for fifty years, with a twenty-five year option to renew under the same
terms, if the EDA grant is funded. In turn, the City would have control and,
therefore, be responsible for liability insurance if someone was hurt on the
property and to indemnify the property owners beneath the structure if they were
sued as well.
For the record, Commissioner Aguila made it clear that the City will have
complete control over the nonliability issues and what it does with those struc-
tures as well.
Ms. Ford advised that the City Attorney should be directed to prepare the leaSe
in that fashion.
Commissioner Katz asked why'the City is including the land owners as additional
insureds under the liability coverage. Mayor Harmening advised him that this is
because in the event something happens, they can be sued at the same time that
the City is sued. Commissioner Aguila added that the City asks people to make
the City an additional insured when they do work for the City for the same
reason.
