Miller Project Start Date: FY24-25 Original Plan Date: FY 24-25 ' Description/Justification: I Description: Install public art, themed towards traffic safety in the CRA, for example: painted crosswalk or intersection, roadway murals, etc. Painted roadways and crosswalks are also considered in the Presidential Streets Master Plan both as beautification and traffic calming tools,and can add livability to AARP community assessments.Local organizations like 321 Millennials and the SCTPO are interested in supporting this endeavor in Cape Canaveral, both financially and administratively. Justification: This project falls in line with the City's vision of creating a community with quality of life amenities that promote small-town character,safety,and sensible mobility with an emphasis on pedestrian needs. Consistency with Council Goals: Sense of Place: Pursue proactive measures to preserve and enhance the community's appearance as a distinctive small- town coastal community with open and natural environments,green spaces,parks,beaches,and cultural assets,with distinctive and progressive design standards,and appealing public spaces for multi-generational recreation and gatherings.

Justification: Canaveral Fire Rescue Station#53 is considered a critical City facility that is utilized to help coordinate and facilitate hazard response efforts throughout the community. Hardening its infrastructure to be further "storm-ready" is key to ensuring its operations are secure and continuous during all conditions. Lightning is an annual threat that must be mitigated as much as possible.This is the last City facility slated to receive an enhanced CMCE lightning protection system.

In general, the CRA-obligated debt listed below was acquired by the City of Cape Canaveral due to its capacity to pledge future guaranteed entitlements such as its Public Service Tax, Half -Cent Sales Tax, Franchise Fees, etc. towards future debt payments. The relative certainty of these revenues allowed the City to acquire favorable terms on the debt. By means of subsequent Joint Resolutions between the City and CRA, portions of future CRA Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenue was/is obligated to assist with the debt service. Below is a general list of requested CRA debt history: CRA Debt Obligations: 1. Joint Res. No. 2013-18 - $100,00 loan from City general fund to fund the creation of the CRA. 10-year loan at 2 percent. This loan was paid off in FY 2016/17. 2. Joint Res. No. 2015-04 - $470,000 loan from the City wastewater fund to replace Lift Station #6 located on Imperial Boulevard and to install water line improvements. CRA partially funded 10- year loan at 2 percent with final payment in FY24/25. 3. In July of 2017, the City acquired a $6.2 Million Capital Improvement Note to finance redevelopment of the Canaveral City Park and the Cape Canaveral Cultural Arts Preservation Enrichment (CAPE) Center. This is a 10-year loan at 2.05 percent, with final payment to be made in FY 26/27. 4. In October of 2021, the City acquired a $1.2 Million Capital Improvement Note to finance the redevelopment of the Civic Hub. This is a 10-year loan at an interest rate of 1.61 percent, with final payment in FY 30/31. In addition to funding debt service as described above, the CRA has funded the following from shared TIF revenues from Cape Canaveral and Brevard County (not loan -funded): • Small Business Sign Grants Assistance Grants — this fund provides funding to business owners to install new signs to increase brand exposure. • North Atlantic Streetscape Improvements - improvements included construction of storm water bio-swales, a pedway/sidewalk system and an irrigation system. Solar -powered lighting, pole banners, decorative crosswalks and landscaping were also installed. • Baffle Box Upgrades (high-tech underground partitioned chambers) to prevent trash and debris from moving into waterways. These devices filter sediments from stormwater through an innovative nitrogen -removing bioreactor before flowing into the Banana River Lagoon. • Canaveral City Park Water Exfiltration System Improvements - the project included the installation of stormwater chambers beneath two outfield areas and one infield area of the park that capture approximately 931,000 gallons of water. This system will capture runoff and treat it before it enters water systems such as the Banana River Lagoon. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

As part of the City of Cape Canaveral's renewed Strategic Visioning & Planning efforts in 2021, the City desired to revisit the 13-year-old Community Visioning Project for an update of the previous "Envision Cape Canaveral" report undertaken by the East Central Florida Planning Council (ECFPC) in 2009. The City engaged Strategic Government Resources (SGR) to facilitate the initiative entitled "Re -Vision Cape Canaveral" in conjunction with the ongoing work SGR and the City have been pursuing as part of the community's overall strategic visioning and planning processes. The focus of the Re -Vision Cape Canaveral update was structured to involve a series of community engagement and stakeholder input regarding current challenges, opportunities, and desired outcomes and priorities versus a Planning/Redevelopment document which was the focus of the previous "Envision Cape Canaveral" report. The new project involved the facilitation of a series of Community Visioning Surveys and Workshops to solicit input from residents, seasonal visitors, businesses, and other stakeholders to provide insight into the priorities, services, developments, and amenities desired in a shared vision for the future state of the City of Cape Canaveral. The Re -Vision Cape Canaveral project involved an initial Online Community Visioning Kick -Off Survey which was open from January 3rd —17th to provide stakeholders the opportunity to provide initial input on a series of open-ended questions. That work was followed by three public community visioning meetings held on January 13th (which was held virtually due to a spike in COVID-19 rates), February 9th, and March 7th, with the latter two sessions held in -person in Cape Canaveral. Following the completion of these sessions, SGR and the City developed a Post - Community Visioning Session Online survey which was open from May 5th — 20th to provide a sense of the ranked priorities of participants as part of the project. The results of the Re -Vision Cape Canaveral initiative were designed to support the City's Annual Strategic Planning efforts with this year's City Council Retreat held on March 30th, 2022. As such, SGR has incorporated the City's newly adopted Mission Statement and Strategic Pillars and accompanying statements into this document to provide the reader a comprehensive sense of the overall direction and alignment between the City's annual strategic vision and planning processes into the overall vision of the community as expressed through the feedback by participants in the Re -Vision Cape Canaveral project. KICK-OFF ONLINE SURVEY The Community Visioning Kick -Off Online Survey was available from January 3rd -17th to provide stakeholders the opportunity to provide input on a series of open-ended questions. Over 650 individuals participated in the Kick -Off Online Survey which included the following questions, coupled with a high-level summary of the prioritized results: 3 Why Do You Decide to Live in Cape Canaveral?

An example of a nonprofit's Vision Statement is "We envision a world where all people—even in the most remote areas of the globe — hold the power to create opportunity for themselves and others." (Kiva). A community's Vision Statement should provide a clear and vivid description of what the City seeks to create in the future and typically does not change over the life of the Strategic Plan (e.g., 10- years). The Vision from the 1999 Envision Cape Canaveral document reflected a five-paragraph section that served the purpose as a planning and redevelopment document but is considered much too long as a recommended Vision Statement for contemporary organizational Strategic Vision & Planning purposes. 22 Accordingly, and based upon the feedback secured from stakeholders, City Council Members, and Senior Staff throughout the Re -Vision Cape Canaveral project, SGR is recommending the consideration of the following revised Vision Statement for the City of Cape Canaveral: Cape Canaveral —An engaged and inclusive community that embraces and preserves its special and natural accessible ocean and riverfront shorelines and open spaces, promotes safe multi - modal interconnectivity, balanced, sustainable, and architecturally attractive developments through a business friendly philosophy and the provision of public infrastructure systems to meet current and future community needs. CAPE CANAVERAL MISSION STATEMENT The City's Mission Statement should provide the organization's purpose and objectives in the present, i.e., "the what and how." The Mission Statement describes what the City does, for whom, and the benefit that it provides, and should be consistent over the life of the Strategic Plan. An example of a nonprofit organization's Mission Statement is "The American Lung Association's mission is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease. We do this through education, advocacy, and research." The following represent the City's newly adopted Mission Statement following the 2022 Strategic Planning Retreat: The Mission of the City of Cape Canaveral is to provide excellence in municipal services by supporting a high quality of life, fiscal responsibility, leadership in environmental stewardship, celebrating our diversity, and fostering innovation. STRATEGIC PLAN PILLARS & STATEMENTS As part of the 2022 Strategic Planning Retreat, SGR reviewed the Strategic Pillars that were established in the 2021 Strategic Planning Retreat and several adjustments were made, including the development of accompanying statements to ensure a shared understanding of the intended outcomes for each Pillar as reflected below: MITI TI-MODAL PIMA' Encourage opportunities to implement improved safe and attractive modes of transportation systems accessible by all generations and physical abilities to connect neighborhoods, public facilities, recreational areas, and commercial centers throughout the community. 23 SENSE OF PLACE PILLAR' Pursue proactive measures to preserve and enhance the community's appearance as a distinctive small-town coastal community with open and natural environments, green spaces, parks, beaches, and cultural assets, with distinctive and progressive design standards, and appealing public spaces for multi -generational recreation and gatherings. SUSTAINABILITY & RESILIENCY PILLAR: Lead by example as a community that embraces sustainability and resiliency in the design and operation of its facilities, infrastructure, programs, services, budgets, and development through forward -thinking policies, ordinances, and education. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PILLAR'' Strengthen relationships, trust, and confidence in city government through the proactive use of two-way communications using face-to-face, surveys, and technology to encourage the civic engagement of our residents, businesses, community - based organizations, and visitors. ECONOMIC VITALITY & DEVELOPMENT PILLAR: Enhance the appearance of the City's infrastructure and appearance to stimulate investment and employment in support of the local economy, and provide, fiscal stability, and revenue diversification to the City by encouraging economic development and redevelopment initiatives to address the needs of residents and visitors who are drawn to the community. CLOSING COMMENTS Strategic Government Resources is pleased and honored to continue its relationship with the City of Cape Canaveral through the facilitation and development of the Re -Vision Cape Canaveral project. We trust the information secured through the Community Visioning Sessions and Online Surveys provides additional insight for the City Council and Senior Staff as the organization continues the development of its revised Strategic Vision and Planning initiatives to achieve the desired future state of Cape Canaveral. We look forward to following your progress and future successes as you embark on this exciting journey! 24 / City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) FY 22/23 Annual Report MARCH 2024 City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency 100 Polk Avenue Cape Canaveral FL 32920 (321) 868-1220 2 Table of Contents City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Officials 3 Introduction, Mission & History 4 City of Cape Canaveral CRA Boundary Map (Figure 1) 5 City of Cape Canaveral CRA Assessed Valuation 6 Statement of Revenues, Expenditures & Changes in Fund Balances 7 Projects Overview & Accomplishments (Current Year/FY22/23) 8 Performance Information 11 Summary 12 Attachment 1 Annual Audit Report (FY22/23) 3 Community Redevelopment Agency Officials City Staff Todd Morley City Manager/CRA Registered Agent/Primary Contact for the District (321) 868-1220 t.morley@cityofcapecanaveral.org Dave Dickey CRA Director (321) 868-1220 d.dickey@cityofcapecanaveral.org Governing Board Members Wes Morrison, Chairperson w.morrison@cityofcapecanaveral.org Mickie Kellum m.kellum@cityofcapecanaveral.org Angela Raymond a.raymond@cityofcapecanaveral.org Mia Goforth CRA Clerk/Recording Secretary (321) 868-1220 m.goforth@cityofcapecanaveral.org Kim Davis council.davis@cityofcapecanaveral.org Don Willis d.willis@cityofcapecanaveral.org 4 Introduction, Mission & History Chapter 163.387 (8), Florida Statute, requires that the City file an annual report of its CRA's financial activities with the taxing authorities each year for the preceding fiscal year. Additionally, the City and Brevard County entered into an Interlocal Agreement, recorded in July of 2018, which established additional reporting obligations. This report has been prepared to fulfill these reporting obligations for fiscal year 22/23 ending September 30, 2023. The report sets forth: (1) the organization and membership of the Community Redevelopment Agency, its Board members and administration, (2) an introduction to the CRA, its mission and history, (3) the CRA boundary, (4) financial reports, statement of liabilities, income/operating expenses, and (5) an overview of public and private construction projects completed and/or underway within the CRA. In 2009, the City initiated the "Envision Cape Canaveral" effort, which set the stage for a series of redevelopment activities. One of the outcomes of the effort was the establishment of a City Vision Statement, which ultimately led to the creation of the City's CRA. Between the years of 2007 and 2011, property valuation data, collected by the Brevard County Property Appraiser's Office (BCPAO), indicated an assessed value decline of 41 percent in commercial and industrial areas and 47 percent in residential areas within the Community Redevelopment Area. Pursuant to Resolution No. 2012-10, the City CRA was established in 2012 with the signing of an Interlocal Agreement between the City and Brevard County. The CRA includes 766 acres or 56 percent of the City's land area (Figure 1). Each year since the creation of the CRA, the BCPAO has reported increases in the assessed value of all properties in the CRA area (see Assessed Valuation graph on page 6). 5 City of Cape Canaveral CRA Boundary Figure 1.

The resulting Tax Increment Revenue allows for the continued expansion of public infrastructure and programs that positively impact the City. The City continues to fund public improvements through available dollars including the General and CRA funds. Some of the notable projects —both public and private —are indicated in the following pages. 9 Public Projects Overview & Accomplishments (FY22/23) CAPE Center • 105 Polk Avenue The CAPE Center Project included a complete renovation and re -purposing of the City's original 3,000 sq. ft. City Hall facility located at 105 Polk Avenue. Project components included a selective demolition process to reconstruct the exterior of the structure and remove the majority of interior walls, to include full asbestos abatement. The floor plan was completely reconfigured to accommodate a gallery, small storage and reception area, as well as indoor and outdoor programming space. A full upgrade to plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems was undertaken to meet sustainability needs, to include the installation of alternative energy features. 10 Presidential Streets Master Plan During this reporting period, the City Council accepted the Presidential Streets Master Plan, a conceptual plan for a largely residential area located in the CRA, which provides high-level policy guidance for the systematic redevelopment of the City's Presidential Streets via a design process involving community input, updated environmental, demographic and traffic analysis and incorporating the latest in future -ready resilient infrastructure. It is intended to provide long range guidance for Staff and Council Members, with recommendations intended to be implemented over the life of the CRA. 11 Civic Hub Master Plan During the reporting period, the City developed conceptual plans for the Civic Hub Project, located on Taylor and Poinsetta Avenues. This multi -year, multi -faceted initiative, located within the CRA, will address stormwater issues and redevelop the southern portion of the City's municipal campus, to better serve the current and future Cape Canaveral community. Amenities such as tennis/pickle ball courts, a band shell, and community market facilities are proposed. The site will also be served by green infrastructure such as underground stormwater vaults, pervious pavement, and rainwater harvesting. 12 Private Projects Overview & Accomplishments (FY22/23) Holiday Inn Express and Suites • 995 Shorewood Drive This project started construction in 2022 and was substantially complete at the end of the reporting period.

Attachment 1 Ce`r JAMESMOORE February 8, 2024 To the Governing Board, City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency: We have audited the financial statements of the City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency (the CRA) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023, and have issued our report thereon dated February 8, 2024. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit. Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit As communicated in our engagement letter dated September 30, 2020, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express an opinion about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities. Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the CRA solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you. Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you. Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm has complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence. We have applied safeguards related to our preparation of the CRA's financial statements, including, but not limited to, an assessment of management's skill, knowledge, and experience. City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency February 8, 2024 Page 2 Significant Risks Identified Professional standards require that we, as auditors, identify significant risks that impact the audit based upon the nature of the organization and design our audit procedures to adequately address those risks. As part of the audit process, we have identified the following significant risks, which are being communicated solely to comply with auditing standards and do not represent any specific finding and/or concerns related to the audit: • Override of internal controls by management • Improper revenue recognition due to fraud • Improper use of restricted resources Our audit was designed to adequately address the above risks and no issues were noted that impacted our ability to render an opinion on the financial statements. Qualitative Aspects of the Entity's Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the CRA is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. There have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes in significant accounting policies or their application during the year. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. Significant Accounting Estimates Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management's current judgments. There were no such significant accounting estimates in the financial statements. Financial Statement Disclosures Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the CRA's financial statements relate to: Note 3 to the financial statements summarizes the CRA's deposits and investments. Significant Unusual Transactions For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to communicate to you any significant unusual transactions identified during our audit. We identified no significant unusual transactions as a result of our audit procedures. Significant Difficulties Encountered During the Audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit. City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency February 8, 2024 Page 3 Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. A summary of the uncorrected misstatements of the financial statements follows: - None noted. In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. The following list summarizes the corrected misstatements that have been recorded by management: - None noted. Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the CRA's financial statements or the auditor's report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit. Representations Requested from Management We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the management representation letter dated February 8, 2024. Management's Consultations with Other Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters. Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues In the normal course of our professional association with the CRA, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the CRA's auditors. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the governing board and management of the CRA and of the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Basis of Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the CRA and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The CRA's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the CRA's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. -1- Auditors' Responsibility Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the CRA's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the CRA's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control —related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. -2- Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 8, 2024, on our consideration of the CRA's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on intemal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the CRA's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. Daytona Beach, Florida February 8, 2024 a—. Mote , - 3 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency's (the CRA) management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the CRA's financial activity, (c) identify changes in the CRA's financial position (its ability to address the next and subsequent year challenges), (d) identify any material deviations from the financial plan (the approved budget), and (e) identify individual fund issues or concerns. Since the MD&A is designed to focus on current year activities, resulting changes, and currently known facts, it should be read in conjunction with the CRA's financial statements which follow this section. Financial Highlights • The liabilities of the CRA exceeded its assets at September 30, 2023, by $(203,777) (net position). Of this amount, the entire balance (to the extent it is positive) was restricted for redevelopment purposes. Deficits are classified as unrestricted net position. • As of September 30, 2023, the CRA's reported ending fund balances of $(203,777). Fund balance saw a change of $212,808 when compared to the prior year. The MD&A is intended to serve as an introduction to the CRA's basic financial statements, which are comprised of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the financial statements. Overview of the Financial Statements This annual report consists of four components: 1) management's discussion and analysis (this section), 2) government -wide and fund financial statements, 3) notes to the financial statements, and 4) required supplementary information. Government -wide Financial Statements Government -wide financial statements provide readers with a broad overview of the CRA's finances in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The governmental activities of the CRA include reinvesting within the community redevelopment district. The statement of net position presents information on all of the CRA's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. This statement serves a purpose similar to that of the balance sheet of a private -sector business. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as one indicator of whether the financial position of the CRA is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported using the modified cash basis of accounting. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. -4- Government-wide Financial Analysis Statement of Net Position The following is a summary of the CRA's governmental activities net position for each of the past two years: Governmental Activities 2023 2022 ASSETS Current and other assets $ 98,390 $ 59,332 Total assets $ 98,390 $ 59,332 LIABILITIES Current liabilities $ 302,167 $ 475,917 Total liabilities $ 302,167 $ 475,917 NET POSITION Restricted - Unrestricted (203,777) (416,585) Total net position $ (203,777) $ (416,585) Statement of Activities The following is a summary of the changes in the CRA's governmental activities net position for each of the past two years: Governmental Activities 2023 2022 REVENUES Intergovernmental and grants $ 2,158,371 $ 1,886,124 Other revenues 3,917 117 Total revenues 2,162,288 1,886,241 EXPENSES Community Redevelopment 2,351 1,418 Capital outlay 660,695 4,832,425 Total expenses 663,046 4,833,843 Net income before transfers 1,499,242 (2,947,602) Transfers from primary government 141,958 3,206,595 Transfers to primary government (1,428,392) (820,032) Change in net position 212,808 (561,039) Net position,beginning of year (416,585) 144,454 Net position, end of year $ (203,777) $ (416,585) - 5 - Financial Analysis of the General Fund The focus of the CRA's governmental funds is to provide information on near -term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the CRA's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the CRA's general fund reported an ending fund balance of $(203,777), a change of $212,808 in comparison with the prior year. This decrease was due to an aggressive capital spending plan and will be made up by future tax increment revenues in excess of expenditures. At the end of the current fiscal year, the entire fund balance was unassigned (due to the fund balance deficit, as opposed to prior year restricted for community redevelopment classification). As the CRA is focused on reinvestment revenues into the CRA district and does not have significant annual operational costs, the CRA does not maintain specific reserve levels for operations. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Significant variations between original and final budget amounts were due to year-end budget true -up modification based on actual activity. Actual expenditures in the general fund were $165,250 less than final budget amounts. The main reason for this is due to the timing of capital projects and other one-time expenditures. Budgetary comparisons between the final budget and actual results can be found on page 14 of this report. Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget There are many challenges facing local governments today. Property values have continued to increase in recent years, contributing to related growth in the revenues of the CRA. While property values for the subsequent fiscal year have increased, the future outlook of property values, and any potential impact they will have on the CRA's finances, are unknown. Requests for Information This report is designed to provide an overview of the CRA's finances for those with an interest in this area. Questions concerning any of the information found in this report, or requests for additional information, should be directed to the City of Cape Canaveral. -6- CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BALANCE SHEET/ STATEMENT OF NET POSITION SEPTEMBER 30,2023 Balance Sheet Statement of Cape Canaveral Net Position CRA Governmental Fund Adjustments Activities ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $ 98,390 $ - $ 98,390 Total assets $ 98,390 $ - $ 98,390 LIABILITIES Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 198,308 $ - $ 198,308 Advances from primary government 94,361 - 94,361 Total liabilities 302,167 - 302,167 FUND BALANCE/NET POSITION Fund Balance: Restricted for: Community redevelopment - - - Unassigned (203,777) 203,777 Net Position: Restricted for: Community redevelopment - - - Unrestricted - (203,777) (203,777) Total fund balance/net position (203,777) - (203,777) Total liabilities and fund balance/net position $ 98,390 $ - $ 98,390 The accompanying notes to financial statements are an integral part of this statement. - 7 - CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY STATEMENT OF REVENUES,EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE/ STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2023 Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance Statement of Cape Canaveral Activities CRA Governmental Fund Adjustments Activities Revenues Intergovernmental $ 2,158,371 $ - $ 2,158,371 Investment income 3,917 - 3,917 Total revenues 2,162,288 - 2,162,288 Expenditures/expenses Current: Community redevelopment 2,351 - 2,351 Capital outlay 660,695 - 660,695 Total expenditures/expenses 663,046 - 663,046 Excess (deficiency) of revenues over expenditures/operating income(loss) 1,499,242 - 1,499,242 Other financing sources (uses) Transfers in from primary government 141,958 - 141,958 Transfers out to primary government (1,428,392) - (1,428,392) Total other financing sources (uses) (1,286,434) - (1,286,434) Net change in fund balance/net position 212,808 - 212,808 Fund balance/net position,beginning of year (416,585) - (416,585) Fund balance/net position, end of year $ (203,777) $ - $ (203,777) The accompanying notes to financial statements are an integral part of this statement. - 8 - CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: The financial statements of the City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency (the CRA), have been prepared in conformance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted body for promulgating governmental accounting and financial reporting principles and the CRA has adopted the GASB Codification. The following is a summary of the CRA's significant accounting policies: (a) Reporting entity —The City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency was created in 2016, by City Ordinance 2015-0-04 of the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida (the City), pursuant to Florida Statute 163.387, to account for the receipt and expenditure of property tax revenues from the tax increment financing district to support redevelopment in the designated community redevelopment area. Since the City is financially accountable for the activities of the CRA, its governing board is the same, and its relationship to the CRA is significant, the CRA is considered to be a blended component unit in the City's financial statements, where it is also reported as a major special revenue fund. The CRA has determined there are no component units that meet criteria for inclusion in the CRA's financial statements. (b) Government -wide and fund financial statements —The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the activities of the CRA. The CRA only has governmental activities and does not engage in any business -type activity. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. General revenues include ad valorem taxes and interest income. Fund financial statements are presented for the CRA's General Fund. The General Fund, which accounts for all financial operations of the CRA, is considered to be a major fund and is the only fund of the CRA. (c) Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation —The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned, and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue when all eligibility requirements imposed by the grantor have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the CRA considers property revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current period. Grants, other intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred. However, expenditures related to long-term agreements are recorded only when payment is due. (d) Budgets and budgetary accounting —The governing board of the CRA adopts an annual operating budget, which is prepared on a modified accrual basis and can be amended by the board throughout the year. At the fund level, actual expenditures cannot exceed the budgeted amounts. The accompanying budgeted financial statements for the General Fund reflect the final budget authorization amounts, including all amendments. -9- CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued) (e) Deposits and investments —The CRA's cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. (f) Receivables and payables—Activity between the CRA and the City has been classified as amount due to/from the primary government on the balance sheet and statement of net position. All trade and property tax receivables are reported net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts, which is based upon management's analysis of outstanding balances and historical trends. At September 30, 2023, all of the CRA's receivables were considered fully collectible. (g) Prepaid items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government -wide and fund financial statements. (h) Capital assets —The CRA does not own any capital assets. Any capital outlay expenditures made by the CRA are deemed to be on behalf of the City who takes ownership of the assets along with the perpetual maintenance obligation for those assets. (i) Long-term obligations —The CRA does not have any legal indebtedness. Any use of funds for debt service, which is included in transfers to the primary governments, represents payments toward long-term debt issued in the name of the City for which CRA revenues have been pledged. The CRA does not have any employees. Any employees who provide services to the CRA are employees of the primary government and do so at either no charge to the CRA, or any allocations made to the CRA represent reimbursements by the CRA to the primary government for services rendered (any items recorded to personnel expense accounts are only for ease of tracking the reimbursement amounts). As a result, there is no compensated absences, other post -employment benefits (OPEB), or pension liabilities recorded on the CRA's financial statements. (j) Fund equity —In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the CRA is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in those funds can be spent. Those classifications are as follows: Nonspendable — amounts not available to be spent or not in spendable form, such as inventory and prepaid items. Restricted — amounts constrained to specific purposes by their providers (such as grantors and higher levels of government), through constitutional provisions or by enabling legislation. Committed — amounts constrained to specific purposes based on actions taken by the CRA governing board through ordinance. Assigned — amounts the CRA intends to use for a specific purpose. Intent can be expressed by the CRA governing board or by an official or body which the Board delegates authority. Unassigned — amounts that are available for any purpose. - 10 - CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued) When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted resources are available; the CRA considers restricted funds to have been spent first. When expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the CRA considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds and finally, unassigned funds, as needed. (k) Deferred outflows/inflows of resources —In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The CRA has no items that meet this reporting criteria. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The CRA has no items that meet this reporting criteria. (1) Net position flow assumption —Sometimes the CRA will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources. In order to determine amounts reported as restricted and unrestricted net position, it is the CRA's policy to consider restricted net position to have been used before unrestricted net position is applied. (m) Use of estimates —Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates assumed in preparing the financial statements. (2) Reconciliation of Government -Wide and Fund Financial Statements: (a) Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund balance sheet and the government -wide statement of net position —Following the governmental fund balance sheet is a reconciliation between fund balance — total governmental funds and net position — governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of net position. The CRA has no items reported differently between these two statements. (b) Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances and the government -wide statement of activities — Following the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances, there is a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances - total governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental activities as reported in the government -wide statement of activities. The CRA has no items reported differently between these two statements. - 11 - CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (3) Deposits and Investments: The CRA is subject to the investment policy of the primary government and has no cash or investment held outside of the CRA's interest in the City's pooled cash and investments. Additional accounts are held for various other purposes, or to segregate cash balances for amounts which are restricted or held on behalf of others. State statutes authorize the CRA to invest excess funds in time deposits, or obligations of the principal and interest of which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States Government, commercial paper, corporate bonds, repurchase agreements and/or the State Board of Administration (SBA) Local Government Surplus Trust Fund Investment Pool or other investment vehicles authorized by local ordinance As of September 30, 2023, all CRA deposits were covered by private bank acquired insurance, Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) insurance, private broker/dealer acquired insurance, Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance, and/or the State of Florida collateral pool established under the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act (the Act). The Act established guidelines for qualification and participation by banks and savings associations, procedures for administration of the collateral requirements and characteristics of eligible collateral. Under the Act, the qualified depository must pledge at least 50% of the average daily balance for each month of all public deposits in excess of any applicable deposit insurance. Additional collateral, up to 125% may be required if deemed necessary. All of the CRA's deposits are held with public depositories and as of September 30, 2023, the CRA's deposits and investments were not subject to any substantial interest rate, credit, or concentration risks. (4) Commitments and Contingencies: The CRA is engaged in various liability claims incidental to the conduct of its general government operations at September 30, 2023. The outcomes of established claims are included in these financial statements. In the opinion of the CRA and the primary government's legal counsel, no legal proceedings are pending or threatened against the CRA which are not covered by applicable insurance which would inhibit its ability to perform its operations or materially affect its financial condition. The CRA is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters, all of which is satisfactorily insured by limited risk, high deductible commercial general liability insurance. Commercial insurance policies are also obtained for other risks of loss, including employee health and accident insurance. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage in any of the past three years. (5) Fund Deficit: The CRA's general fund balance deficit at year-end is expected to be recovered through future revenues in excess of expenditures. (6) Recent Accounting Pronouncements: The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued several pronouncements that have effective dates that may impact future financial statements. Listed below are pronouncements with required implementation dates effective for subsequent fiscal years that have not yet been implemented. Management has not currently determined what, if any, impact implementation of the following will have on the CRA's financial statements: (a) GASB issued Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences, in June 2022. GASB Statement No. 101 amends various provisions regarding the calculation methodology and required disclosures related to the liability for compensated absences. The provisions for GASB 101 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. - 12 - REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION - 13 - CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SCHEDULE OF REVENUES,EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE BUDGET AND ACTUAL-GENERAL FUND FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2023 Variance with Budgeted Amounts Final Budget- Positive Original Final Actual (Negative) Revenues Intergovernmental $ 2,199,618 $ 2,158,371 $ 2,158,371 $ - Investment income 288 3,917 3,917 - Total revenues 2,199,906 2,162,288 2,162,288 - Expenditures Current: Community redevelopment 350,324 161,034 2,351 158,683 Capital outlay 1,232,312 667,262 660,695 6,567 Total expenditures 1,582,636 828,296 663,046 165,250 Excess (deficiency)of revenues over expenditures 617,270 1,333,992 1,499,242 165,250 Other financing sources(uses) Transfers in from primary government 250,000 141,958 141,958 - Transfers out to primary government (867,270) (1,475,950) (1,428,392) 47,558 Total other financing sources(uses) (617,270) (1,333,992) (1,286,434) 47,558 Net change in fund balances - - 212,808 212,808 Fund balances,beginning of year (416,585) (416,585) (416,585) - Fund balances,end of year $ (416,585) $ (416,585) $ (203,777) $ 212,808 - 14- Ce`r JAMESMOORE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS To the Governing Board, City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency: We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to the financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of the City of Cape Canaveral Community Redevelopment Agency (the CRA), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the CRA's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated February 8, 2024. Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the CRA's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the CRA's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the CRA's internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the CRA's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in intemal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. - 15 - Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the CRA's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA) BOARD MAY 21, 2024 SPECIAL MEETING • ITEM # 3 Subject: a. Recommend the City Council reallocate $150,000 originally allocated for selective demolition at the Civic Hub site, to fund engineering/design costs associated with the Civic Hub's master stormwater system, and to approve said funding; and b. Recommend the City Council approve $300,000 for design/engineering for reconstruction of Fillmore Avenue. Department: Community and Economic Development Summary: At the April 16, 2024 Regular Council Meeting, Kimley Horn and Associates (KHA) made a presentation to the Council to include recommendations related to: 1. Civic Hub Final Conceptual Master Plan 2. Civic Hub Stormwater Analysis 3. Presidential Streets Master Plan (PSMP)/Fillmore Avenue During Council discussion on the items, the City Manager stated that funding for these projects, as they are located within the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) area (except for a small portion of the PSMP) should be taken to the CRA Board for consideration and recommendation (Attachment 1). The CRA FY 2023/24 Budget, includes the following projects: • City Civic Hub - $150,000 for demolition. • PSMP - $300,000 for survey/design/outreach. City Civic Hub As part of the Fiscal Year (FY 23/24) CRA Budget, the City Council approved $150,000 for selective demolition associated with the City Civic Hub project. Although it is a CRA project, it is funded through proceeds of a previously issued bank note. The following provides an overview of the various Civic Hub phases to date: • Phase 1. Property purchase and demolition. Complete • Phase 2. Stormwater at the Civic Hub - KHA completed the Civic Hub/Center Street Basin Stormwater Feasibility Analysis, dated April 3, 2024. The study determined that the Civic Hub could provide an area for the construction of an exfiltration system to treat runoff generated by the redeveloped recreation complex as well as routing offsite stormwater runoff to alleviate flooding in the Center Street Basin (see Civic Hub Master Plan - Stormwater - Attachment 2). Complete • Phase 3. KHA Civic Hub final conceptual site plan was presented to the Council at the April 16, 2024 Regular Council Meeting. Its significance is related to the identification of type and location of desired amenities on the surface of the properties, which would then inform the size and scope of the desired stormwater storage system underneath the properties. Complete However, with the Council's priority on alleviating flooding in the Presidential Streets, and a rethinking of the implementation of the Civic Hub project, it is proposed the $150,000 that was City of Cape Canaveral CRA Board Special Meeting • May 21, 2024 Agenda Item # 3_ Page 2 of 2 originally allocated for selective demolition, be reallocated to fund engineering/design costs associated with the Civic Hub's master stormwater system. Presidential Streets Master Plan/Fillmore Avenue The FY 2023/24 CRA Budget includes a Capital Outlay item for $300,000 related to the Presidential Streets Master Plan (PSMP). Specifically, the funds are to be used for survey/design/outreach costs for the first street to be reconstructed as implementation of the PSMP begins. The following provides an overview of the various PSMP phases to date: • Phase 1. Master Plan. Acts as a guiding document to shape the Presidential Streets into a destination that includes complete streets, stormwater management, pedestrian access, and traffic management that will boost its resilience. Complete • Phase 2. One -Way Study. Looked at impacts of modifying certain existing two-way streets to one-way streets. Complete At the April 16, 2024 Regular Council Meeting, KHA recommended that Fillmore Avenue be the initial street to kick-off implementation of the PSMP. This is due to: 1. It is the central east/west street in the Center Street stormwater basin; 2. Its western terminus into the Civic Hub project; 3. Historical flooding issues within its right-of-way; and 4. Relative age of stormwater and sanitary sewer infrastructure within its right-of-way. For these reasons, it is proposed that the CRA Board recommend to the City Council that the $300,000 allocated for the PSMP in the FY23/24 CRA Budget be used for design/engineering for the reconstruction of Fillmore Avenue as the City's first PSMP Streetscape. CRA Board recommendations will be presented to the City Council for their consideration and action. Should the Council concur with these recommendations, a task order will be prepared for each project and work will commence. Submitted by: David Dickey Attachments: 1.
