I apologize for sending this a second time. I would like to request that this is read into the record tonight at the meeting since I will be out of town and unable to attend. Thank you very much.

Dear Council Members: After viewing the video from the first budget meeting I hope you all have had a chance to reflect exactly what BVF and BMS is in the City of Brooksville. If you review the words of Patrick Reeves owner of the Rising Sun Bistro it is clear. BMS is a way to divide the people and hold the City hostage in fear of “losing everything”. Just like Michael Heard did with the Brooksville Blueberry Festival the folks at the Brooksville Vision Foundation sold the City and the residents big promises (they will be self sufficient within 3 years, they will work closely with all businesses) with Brooksville Main Street. They attempted to win our hearts while putting their hand into our pockets. They sold us on endearing events such as the Christmas Event and have gotten some of our most dedicated citizens involved (Jan Knowles, Barbara Manuel) and then told them that if Brooksville Main Street goes so will all of “their hardwork”. They know by winning over our sentimental side it will be very difficult to be rational and responsible to the citizens by “stripping them of BMS” when they do not fulfill their promises. Patrick Reeves illustrated it perfectly when he listed the number of followers for BMS compared to Destination Brooksville. He showed you the BMS against THEM attitude that runs rampant through our City. He even said in his speech that he “chooses BMS”. There is no reason he needs to ‘choose” either, the two groups can work together. The entire cause of discord between the business owners is over the fact that BMS and BVF will not release their complete financial records. The whole reason Destination Brooksville was formed was because Brooksville Main Street has left out 95% of the businesses in this town and we wanted a voice. So we gathered together to work together, not to divide. We do events with zero tax dollars and we do them well. This is the exact kind of division Michael Heard sowed with the Blueberry Festival and we all know how that turned out. She is gone, as are her “grand unrealistic plans” and left is a fabulous well known Blueberry festival ran by ZERO tax dollars. The City did not fall apart with her exit, we grew stronger and smarter. Please do not fall for their basic psychological trickery. We will not lose the Friday Night Live Concerts and we will not lose the Christmas Events if the council makes the responsible decision not to fund BMS. We will only lose the never ending request for money without transparency to an organization that has not held up their end of the deal. We will only lose what has amounted to an overpaid events planning organization that has completely divided and held this town hostage. I urge you to remember how damaging Michael Heard was to this town and remember she was on the BVF and a very big supporter and instrumental person in the development of Brooksville Main Street and her legacy of division and irresponsible spending needs to finally end. Mr. Battista and our other Council Members were correct in saying that our downtown area is not the area where we have most of our commerce. We would all love to be located in the cute downtown Main Street area but as Mr. Battista pointed out it is not feasible. There are not enough buildings or room to build in the area to make it a successful area of commerce. People can not and will not traverse the steep hills. So why are we continuing to throw good money after bad money for this BMS program when it is physically impossible to make the area a success as they are promising. Why don't we continue to have the great events started by BMS (Christmas and concert events) that are for the enjoyment of the community and stop mislabeling them as "downtown development strategies". Please set a good example and show financial responsibility to your actual tax paying citizens and do not let the comments of concert goers from outside of Brooksville (non tax payers) sway your decision. I apologize I could not be there tonight to speak my words in person but I am in Clermont at a performance. And unlike BMS I realize your schedule can not be changed to suit my schedule. Please vote to protect your citizens and your City and not for the special interest of the BVF. Thank you for your time and consideration

Staci Lewis White Resident of the City of Brooksville Owner of The Wired Bird

Mayor Kemerer reminded Council of their request that Main Street make a presentation at this meeting. The Mayor continued by stating that in a conversation he had with Mr. Manuel and the City Manager, it was discovered that the Main Street Program is currently completing their budgets for the 2020 year and are also working alternatively scenarios if certain funding sources are not available to them. As a result, Main Street requested a delay until August 12, 2019.

Mike Dolan, committee member of the Main Street Program, made a formal request for an extension of time for the Main Street presentation until August 12, 2019.

Mayor Kemerer advised those present that the City Manager does run the City government and Council sets policy in the best interest of the City. He felt that Council is open to both sides of the issue of Main Street funding and he appreciated the input received on both sides. He thanked each person who spoke at the meeting and those who have volunteered their time and efforts in the past.

Council Member Erhard thanked all who attended and spoke at the meeting. She addressed what she felt was a social media posting that was misreported by John Lee. Council Member Erhard stated that she was appalled to read the email from the City Manager advising that the Brooksville Main Street Program had been given an extension for their presentation. She recalled that it was the consensus of Council to request that the Main Street Program make their presentation at the July 26, 2019 meeting. She went on to state that the City committed funding for three years and fulfilled that commitment and she offered her opinion that the program should be self-sustaining.

Council Member Erhard added that she is not against the Main Street Program but was concerned about accountability and transparency issues when dealing with taxpayer’s money. She continued by stating that the Main Street program has asked for funding but were not available at this meeting to make the request. Council Member Erhard advised that she was elected to look out for taxpayer’s money and make tough decisions. She pointed out the poor road conditions and infrastructure issues which she felt needs to be prioritized.

Council Member Erhard commended Destination Brooksville for the success for their Christmas in July event, which she stated was put on without City funding.

Council Member Erhard encouraged the business owners who are members of the Brooksville Vision Foundation to work on their own buildings and be an example of the improvements they would like to see in Brooksville.

She commended the Art in the Park event which she felt was successful before the Main Street Program came into existence.

Council Member Erhard felt that if the program cannot run without money, then maybe it shouldn’t be a program. Her belief is that the Brooksville Vision Foundation failed in the three years to make the program self-sustaining.

Barbara Manuel, committee member on the Main Street Program, was invited to address Council regarding the Christmas Tree lighting event and the donations received towards the purchase of the Christmas Tree.

Vice Mayor Bernardini voiced his opinion that the Mayor overstepped his authority with a possible Charter violation by going against Council consensus that Brooksville Main Street make a presentation at the July 26th Council Meeting. He also disagreed with the time extension being considered and granted at a meeting between the Mayor, Cliff Manuel and the City Manager.

Vice Mayor Bernardini brought up for discussion questions arising from the organizational chart for the Brooksville Vision Foundation and the Main Street Program. Mike Dolan came forward to advise that Natalie Kahler runs the Main Street Program and is directly accountable to the Brooksville Vision Foundation’s Board.

Council Member Erhard questioned the salary of Natalie Kahler, to which Mr. Dolan advised that it is his understanding is that it is $40,000 a year with a performance bonus.

Vice Mayor Bernardini advised that has supported the Main Street Program concept through the years, which has not been successful in the past. He expressed concern about transparency with what he viewed as the Main Street Program not adequately reporting to the Brooksville Vision Foundation and the Brooksville Vision failing in its oversight of the Main Street Program. He added his opinion that the City has failed in the oversight of both.

The Vice Mayor addressed his understanding that the Main Street Program must make quarterly reports to the State and he stated he has never seen those. He referred to quarterly statements submitted by former Main Street Executive Director, Ryan Malloy, which he read as follows:

“Frustrations: I find it very difficult to inspire property owners to invest in their building assets in downtown. The most challenging fact is that two of the larger property owners of downtown buildings also sit on the Board of Directors. I am looking at ways to inspire them to invest in their properties. Going through the transformative period where downtown businesses are beginning question: What does Main Street do for me? Several business owners are really drawing others in and looking to challenge the Main Street Program. This is a period of need for education about what Main Street is here to do and that it is a long term project and not a quick fix. We have just gone over our two period point and businesses are wondering why downtown isn’t transferred yet.”

Vice Mayor Bernardini stated that he does not have a problem with funding another year but with the caveat that monthly reports with the financial statement activity of the preceding month be delivered to the City Clerk at a certain time every month. He felt that failure to turn in those monthly reports should result in a penalty. He added that he will not be at the meeting on August 12th.

Regarding the oversight issue, Council Member Battista recalled in 2016 when the Main Street Program was first discussed, it was a three year commitment and there was no contract established as it was not presented as a City government function. He added that the County also does not have a contract with Main Street. He stated that one consideration would be that a potential contract could establish performance criteria. He added that if they knew that three years was not going to be enough time, it should have been made clear to Council in 2016.

Council Member Battista informed all that he has expressed concern in the past that there are not enough open storefronts and retail to get to the point that the improvements will start happening on their own. He did not feel paying $50,000 a year for businesses to do well during an event was a good return on investment. Council Member Brayton stated he supported getting financials on the program and hoped that Council will work together on this issue. He advised that he had looked at past minutes and he did not see any stipulations that required them to submit financial reports to Council. It was the Vice Mayor’s recollection that the request for financials had been made of the former Blueberry Festival organizers and sometimes it appeared that the Brooksville Vision Foundation, the Main Street program and the Blueberry Festival were tied together and financial reports were not provided.

Vice Mayor Bernardini read from minutes of May, 2016, as follows:

The Brooksville Vision Foundation is requesting a three year commitment so that those investments will be put in place to sponsor the investment grade that is being discussed with the hope that the Main Street Program will become sustainable and able to support itself.

Vice Mayor Battista asked if funds from the Blueberry Festival would be pulled into this and Mr. Chichester responded yes. Vice Mayor Battista also asked if all of this was subject to Sunshine Law Records and Mr. Chichester responded that all funds had to be reported.

Referring to the minutes (excerpt below), he also questioned if the economic impact was ever provided to the City:

The grant is a technical assistance grant to produce an economic impact study which will be in addition to the $51K. Mr. Chichester then explained what the economic impact study will provide for the City.

He also referred to minutes of April, 2016, in which it was pointed out that many road projects were needed and he did not believe much of those projects had been done. He referred also to minutes of August, 2016. in which then Mayor Natalie Kahler stated that Council’s responsibility is to the taxpayers.

Council Member Erhard advised that she would not be supporting the Main Street funding. She referred to the poor condition of Oak Park Ave. and reiterated an earlier comment that many roads and infrastructure improvements are needed.

Mayor Kemerer advised that Main Street should be prepared to report to Council on August 12th with the information requested.

Council Member Erhard requested that the City Attorney address the memo she emailed to Council. City Attorney Stuparich advised that she provided a memo to City Council concerning the City Code which cross-references Florida Statues, Ch. 112, outlining a prohibition from any previous City official to lobby the City on behalf of an organization. She explained that it sets forth prohibitions on actions by former officers and any findings would need to be fact-based after an investigation and determination of the facts. The City cannot enforce Florida Statutes, Ch. 112, however the City code does have an enforcement provision which states that the City has the authority to restrain such acts that are prohibited. City Manager Kutney confirmed that the Brooksville Vision Foundation has been informed and it is up to them to make the appropriate adjustments to ensure there is no violation.

Council Member Erhard and Vice Mayor Bernardini discussed their opposition to the Mayor’s authority to extend the Main Street presentation for the August 12th meeting after it was Council’s consensus to have the presentation on July 26th. Council Member Battista stated that it is his understanding that neither representative was able to be here for the July 26th meeting and he did not have a problem with the Mayor making the decision to move it to the already scheduled August 12th meeting.

Vice Mayor Bernardini also expressed his concern that the July 22nd meeting was changed to a Workshop instead of his understanding that it would be a Special Meeting.

Mayor Kemerer stated that the already approved Council meeting schedule listed July 22nd meeting as a workshop. There was no motion taken by Council to change it to a Special Meeting. Regarding the extension of time granted to the Main Street Program, Mayor Kemerer stated that he has been advised that as Mayor, he could set the agenda. The current year budget and other information that Council was requesting could not have been compiled in time for the July 26th meeting.

Motion: Motion was made by Brayton and seconded by Battista to accept Main Street’s formal request for a postponement of the presentation until the August 12th meeting. Motion carried 4-1 with Erhard voting in opposition.

Mr Bernardini,

I am hoping we could schedule a meeting sometime this week. I just have some information I have compiled about Brooksville Main Street/Vision that may help you with your decision making process on the budget. It should only take 30 min to an hour. If possible, could we meet at my office, 220 N Broad St? If not, I can meet at City Hall later in the day.

Dear Council Members,

I have been compiling information over the last month in hopes of helping you with your decision on whether to continue to fund the Brooksville Main Street program. I am attaching the information I have gathered and any of the handwritten comments are things I researched to help with your analysis.

In my opinion, some of this is information that should be submitted to you on a quarterly basis by BMS, this is not something a citizen should have to request from city and state agencies to put together.

In the packet are the following:

1. A 2-year comparison of financial statements for Brooksville Vision Foundation prepared from the numbers on their Forms 990 2. The current organization chart submitted by Mike Dolan, my concerns are handwritten on the bottom 3. Florida Main Street quarterly reports submitted by Brooksville Main Street. I was hoping these reports contained some financial information but they don't. However, I am concerned that these reports were not submitted until a year into the program and the reports are not completely accurate. I made notes in red. 4. Listing of Certificates of Use issued to businesses over the last 3 years. I requested and received this information from Bill Geiger's office, quite promptly I may add. I am sending the original report and then the same report broken out by CRA/Non-CRA, type of business, and current status (if known)

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be glad to meet with you. I am going on vacation starting 7/31 and do not know if this item will be voted on while I am gone, so I want to make sure you have this information and I hope it helps. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 1 received from Lori Sowers Page 3 of 51

Successes

We have had a new restaurant owner come to town and they have opened one restaurant in the district called Broad Street Market Restaurant. This new establishment has provided a new level of quality to the food sector in downtown by providing a fresh seafood choice to the community. At this time, it has been very well received. The second restaurant is due to open late in 2018 and will be just outside the district boundaries, but will be a great addition to the City - called Chop Block Grill. Enchilada's Mexican Restaurant has undergone an ownership change. The new owners have revamped the menu providing a much better quality and higher level of service. Being very well-received by the community.

I find it very difficult to inspire property owners to invest in their building assets in downtown. The most challenging fact is that two of the larger property owners of downtown buildings also sit on the oard of directors. I am looking at ways to inspire them to invest in their properties.

In order to have a better understanding of the situation in your community, please describe your recent successes and current frustrations. Successes

I have used the 3rd quarter report as a tool to catch up our reporting data. In our early phases, we did not have the resources to collect data accurately. Moving forward, we will be able to provide much more accurate data.

Frustrations

We are still working on obtaining rental data associated with the buildings in the district. I hope to have this data collected so as to be able to report in the 1st quarter of the next reporting year.

In order to have a better understanding of the situation in your community, please describe your recent successes and current frustrations. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 1 received from Lori Successes Sowers Page 38 of 51 Florida Main Street Quarterly Reports

We held one of the most successful month-long celebrations of the Christmas Season with record numbers in attendance.

Frustrations

Small Business Saturday - there was less participation from businesses this year and thus less public participation. We need to work to grow this better in 2019. We started for the first time asking the businesses to chip in $50 each to offset the costs of advertising/marketing and I believe this swayed many to not participate.

Frustrations

Going through a transfonnative period where the downtown businesses are beginning to question "What does Main Street do for me?" Several business owners are really drawing others in and looking to challenge the Main Street Program. This is a period of need for education about what Main Street is here to do and that this is a long-term project and not a quick fix. We have just gone over our two-year point and businesses are wondering why downtown isn't transformed yet.

T sure hope we can continue to support Main Street. It has always been a very worth program and I think with it's New Leadershjp it will get far more Business support. I for one look forward to working with them in their efforts to keep Downtown Brooksville vibrant and active.

To The City Council: I was recently advised by a Council Member of your Fiduciary responsibility in regards to the Main Street Program. I for one think that the City needs a cohesive and bonding effort to find a path to prosperity. The divisive tones that are cTrcling on social media are certainly not in the best Interest of the City. The Main Street Program (properly managed) offers us an opportunity for Grant Funding that can be of benefit to the City and it's future. Cutting another program or service in the name of Fiduciary responsibility is not the answer. I have never seen anyone cut themselves into Prosperity, The City of Brooksville can easily transform Into a vibrant economic gem. It takes a vision, investment.commitment and hard work. A strong Main Street program that truly works with the local governments and Business can lead us to a brighter future for all residents. I for one trust that you will do the right thin_g .

The duties of a fiduciary include loyalty and reasonable care of the assets within custody. All of the fiducia ry's actions are performed for the advantage of the beneficiary.

From: Patrick Reeves Sent: Monday, July 22, 2019 10:36 PM To: Pat Brayton City of Brooksville Council Member Subject: Request Information

I would like to thank you for allowing me to speak at tonight's meeting. My lack of experience speaking in this type of forum combined with my passion for the subject led to a remark that, after looking back was wrong. I have seen all of you in our establishment over the years. I am usually only there in the evening and on weekends so for me to assume that you do not come in at other times is unfair. I guess seeing Joe B there Thursday nights just led me to a conclusion that may not bet true. Tonight's meeting was something of an emotional roller coaster from the perspective of a Downtown business owner. To hear council members state that they do not believe downtown Brooksville can be successful and that funding and efforts should be focused on other parts of the city is gut wrenching. Having spent countless hours building a successful business and getting involved with every organization and program to help improve the downtown we fell like our elected officials are ready to abandon us. I live life knowing that the man who says it can be done and the man who says it can not be done are both correct. I chose to believe it can be done and have invested a great deal ohime and money to help make it so.

I am in complete agreement that there needs to be transparency and accountability when it comes to programs funded by tax payers. I believe you all have a duty to use the citizens money responsibly. I also believe that pulling the plug on a program that is gaining traction and has some issues to resolve would be wasting the $150k already invested over the past 3 years. Perhaps BMS will not be the same in the future but before killing it off and wasting the money spent to where we are give it a grace period to restructure. It has been built once why have to build it again. I think the Blueberry festival is a great example of what can be done. BMS has created events such as the Christmas tree lighting, Friday night live and uncommonly artsy that Bring people to downtown. These were the focus of the previous director and are now up and running. The focus of the new director needs to be filling the vacant storefronts.

July 22, 2019

Good Morning Council Members,

Most of you may know who I am, but for those that don't.

My name is. Rory Steele, I own The Little Lady Ca fe right here in beautiful downtown Brooksville. I have owned the business since February of 2017, and worked there prior to owning it. I am the current president of the local business owners group named Destination Brooksville, and also host the Saturday Pop Up Market twice a month in downtown. Our group has been in existence since September of 2017. We have approximately 30 members, and recently growing. Our goal and mission is to draw positive attention and crowds to downtown for the success of our businesses and also the town in general. I chose this t own to raise 5 krds, build a home and build my business here. This is home, and this town Is going to be what we make of it as the citizens and as well as the council making sound decisions regarding the finances of the city. I do understand it isn't easy being in your position, but you were voted there with confidence and trust of your constituents. We now rely on you to make t ough decisions, but fair and monetarily wise choice for us. I have watched for years now you put in posit ions that weren't always easy, and harshly scrutinized. I hope today when in the budget workshop you keep your financially responsible thinking.

As a group, we have hosted several events-with 2 larger ones scheduled for the end of this year (October-Fall Crawl a shopping and scavenger hunt game, and December Christmas Festival to be held after parade). This past rd weekend we held our 3 annual Leon Party/Christmas in July Event. The event w as to encourage old and new customers, people of all ages to visit downtown and each of the merchants that were open and ready to participate. This was a fun event for the whole family, and we had raffles at the end that cost us each a few bucks in donations of goods and services to bring back potential customers. The reviews we got were positive, and reward self satisfying. So many people got to enjoy the love of our small town.

Personally I had over 250 people pass through our doors, we gave out tickets to each and everyone of them to keep count. I hod business in the numbers com pored to that of the Blueberry Festival.

Several other businesses have also reported to me the same type ofsituation ;

The Pop Up Market had 16 vendors with 9 selling out offood and merchandise-cant wait to return next month.

Country Depot recorded numbers that he called his mast successful day yet since opening downtown In December of 2018.

Transformed Treasures located on Jefferson St also stated the same, including opening her shop almost 2 hours early to accommodate guests.

-We had a great day Saturday and Saturday night with market. We loved participating in Christmas in July Catherine- Rising Sun 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 4 received from Rory Steele Page 2 of 3

-Hey Rory, We didn't get much, if any, visits related to Xmas in July. Pretty much just our regulars. I attribute that to the nature of our business and not any fault of the event. Lee- Downtown Loser

Great day for us, got rained out this evening.- Breadbox Bakery

We raised $297 at the event. Thank you for allowing to use space. We appreciate the tent and tables too- HYL Team Florida

Rory, Hi lady, thank you for all you did to make Saturday a big success. Here's my report: The merchants of The Hawkins House ; Westover's Flowers & Gifts, The Pearl Porch, and Mallie Kyla's Cafe had a very successful Christmas in July. We saw people from all over Cen tral Florida, Tampa, Dade City, Inverness, The Villages. We had 110 people fill out raffle tickets and the cafe had a record summer day. Our sales overall were up by 40 %, mostly gift buying for the holidays. We had a lot of nice comments. The only complaint we heard was that merchants that advertised being open at 10am were not. Thank you to the committee that put this together!- Tricia 8- Westovers Flo wers

Hi Rory. We at AKA Salvage and Designs were very happy with the turnout for the Christmas in July event. We had a huge amount of foot traffic through the stare which was a mix of regular customers and new faces. It was our pleasure to host the drawing. We couldn't be more happy with how well all of the business owner worked together to make this event such a big success. It is showing how well the Destination Brooksville team is at growing the town!

We saw man new aces and dozens of kids. Any time you put more people in Brooksville we sell more Hot Dogs. We had a great day and met many new people. Nice Job.-John Lee Coney Island

For us the numbers f rom Saturday are staggering. And the best part is we didn't need o ridiculous amount of funding. the only money I spent was for the posters and for a small amount of Focebook promotion. And I hope it w/11 be pointed out that Brooksville main street did not promote our event even once but local community pages etc. did promote us. I'm not sure if you all want to mention it but they also took part of our ad and cut our information out including our hours and used it for their ad.· Staci- owner of The Nest Air BnB, 41 & Bird Retail Shop, and also The Wired Bird Retail Shop/Boutique

This event drew a large crowd to downtown, brought sales above average and expectations for many of us, and it cost the city /tax payers zero dollars. Our group has never asked the city for any favors, but more importantly no funding. Once a month we use the council chambers to hold our meetings with the company of the city manager, mayor, members from the community policing unit and traffic unit from the Hernando County Sheriffs Office. We have become our own entity, and looking to become more official with the forming of a non profit, all proceeds would continually be returned to the promotion of our downtown events we plan on hosting. It has always been our goal to not accept handouts, or ask our financially burdened city for any sort of funding. We believe in working hard to grow ourselves, our business and our town-and we do this on our own. While it may seem like small movements forward, we are definitely moving forward with working together and helping one another.

In closing, I ask all of you to consider, and reconsider the true financial state of the city and how you plan to spend money in the near future. Offering or granting money to a promotional/self serving group that isn't working directly with the business owners seems almost wasteful, and ignorant of the city. Ask yourselves, what has that 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 4 received from Rory Steele Page 3 of 3 group done for the city, for the citizens, and for the business owners? Then review this letter and see what a group of actual business owners has done for this city, and will continue to do so, at zero cost to the city. Reach out to the actual business owners, ask them what have they gotten in return from this group, ask them how they have gotten help, and then review who has gotten the handouts for years from the city with no results, structure or true help to the very business owners they are set to help and promote. Excess monies should be returned to a general fund, or possibly put towards programs better suited to actually help the city grow. When your businesses are thriving, everyone starts to thrive- we can create more jobs, bring more people into our area, and hopefully draw other businesses into ourtown. Consider the example set of offering hadnouts with no return- it just isn't fair to anyone involved. As an active member of our community I want conservative and responsible spending. Offering the handout of t ens of thousands of dollars will create some discord between the city and its business owners as we see this as wasteful and Irresponsible. We have worked hard to form relationships, our group, and building the downtown so please lets keep this going for the sake of a better financial future in t he making. Unfortunately I cannot be there today to answer any questions directly, but I am always reachable, my cellphone number is 352- 457-5676, or by email at [email protected].

Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to hearing from you all soon and would gladly answer any question.

From: staci lewis white Sent : Monday, July 22, 2019 2:52:36 PM To: William Kemerer ; Joe Bernardini ; Robert Battista ; Pat Brayton City of Brooksville Council Member ; Betty Erhard Subject: Budget Workshop

Dear Counc il Members,

Jam wriling in regards to a request I was recently made aware of concerning the budget for the City of Brooksville. I was very disheartened to see that Brooksville Main Street it again showing up to the City with "their hand out" for more funding. It is my understanding that the original agreement was that Brooksville and Hernando County would fund them for three years and you all have clearly met your commitment. At that time it was also conveyed that Brooksville Main Street would be a catalyst to promote Brooksvi lle and the wonderful businesses, events and opportunities that are here. I realize at the time of funding you all only knew what you were being told but now that they have been here for the three years I would like to point out that they have failed in many of their promises. I own three businesses here in the City of Brooksville and have been a resident for 40 plus years. I can tell you that Brooksville Main Street does not support or promote local businesses unless you are in their "favor". /\ few months back we (some of the business owners) met with Brooksville Vision Foundation over our concerns as were were being treated very poorly and ifwe did not "pay to play" were were basically ignored or publicly bad mouthed. They attempted to bully many of us into providing money for their events as well as donations of items and gift certificates. We all gave as much as we could but when we could not show up to volunteer at their events we were often shamed and told we "did not support Brooksville". Sad ly, that is so far from the truth. We own businesses here, live here and pay ta,xes here. We love our town and many times spend 12+ hours at our businesses not to count the atler hours where we are doing bookkeeping, etc. l personally have three businesses and have very little "spare time" to volunteer at the events downtown and should not be shamed by a Community Organization. The folks at Brooksville Main Street receive salaries for their work and are supposedly here to promote the town and all it has to offer. l can assure you they do not do that. Please take a few minutes to look over their last few weeks of P'B posts on their page and see how much they support local businesses versus how much they support themselves and their specific events. Their events are money makers as they sell alcohol and rely on volunteer labor. Sadly Brooksville Main Street also advertises theiJ' voltmteers gift cards to any of the downtown businesses as a reward for helping, yet when the volunteers ask for a specific business they are told they can not get a gift certificate there (if the business is not one that is in the good graces of BMS).

As you know we just had a super successful Christmas in July Event that was completely ignored by Brooksville Main Street and disregarded. But they have post after post about their events and even started promoting their Christmas (in December) event as soon as they saw we were holding a Christmas in July event. The only interaction Brooksville Main Street had with our event is they had theirs scheduled to start as soon as our ended on Saturday and Michael Defelice apparently "borrowed with out permission" the graphics I created for the Duwntuwn Bruuksvill~ Cliristmas in July Event, removed our information and added it to his flyer for his car show/Main Street Event. We often feel as though we are dealing with spoiled children that are playing a "tit for tat" game with us and it is dividing Lhis town. Our Christmas in July Event was done I00% without public funding, grant money or any financial assistance. And please remember the Blueberry Festival is also done without public funding.

Recently we became aware that BMS was again misleading the public and aski ng for donations for the 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 5 received from Staci Lewis White Page 2 of 4 Good Neighbor Trail. Mike Dolan, Brooksville Vision Board Member actually sent out letters stating they were having to raise money for maintenance of the Good Neighbor Trail and for the repaving of the trail. Sadly, this gives the public the impression that the City and County are failing in their contractual duties to maintain the trail. When we made Mr. Dolan aware of his misinformation he backpedaled and said he meant it is fundraising for trail improvements such as kiosks and such so they can be more like the Rails to Trails group. Well, he has not corrected the letters or the emails that he is sending out and still telling people that BMS is raising money through a GNT Bike Ride for the trail maintenance and paving. I feel as though the City Council should let Mr. Dolan know what he is doing is wrong and will not be tolerated. I will attach a copy of the letters/emails he is sending out. Also, BMS is accepting these "donations" under BMS and telling folks they are tax deductible but when they are asked for financials to show where these donations are actually going and how they are being spent they absolutely refuse to share the information. We asked where the money they raised last year went (as they did no maintenance on the trail or paving) but they refuse to provide the information.

I hope that you all consider all of this information from an actual citizen and business owner and realize that Brooksville Main Street misled both the City and the County for three years and should not be allowed to continue. They are NOT helping downtown. They are not friendly. They are not inviting and are not what this town needs.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

Dear Council Members:

Afler viewing the video from the first budget meeting I hope you all have had a chance to re nect exactl y what BYF and BMS is in the City of Brooksville. If you review the words of Patrick Reeves owner of the Rising Sun Bistro it is clear. BMS is a way to divide the people and hold tbe City hostage in fear of "losing everything". Just like Michael Heard did with the Brooksville Blueberry Festival the folks at the Brooksville Vision Foundation sold the City and the residents big promises (they wi ll be self sufficient within J years, they will work closely with all businesses) with Brooksville Main Street. They attempted to win our hearts while putting their hand i_nto our pockets. They sold us on endearing events such as the Christmas Event and have gotten some of our most dedicated citizens involved (Jan Knowles, Barbara Manuel) and then told them that if Brooksville Main Street goes so will all of "their hardwork". They know by winning over our sentimental side it will be very difficult to be rational and responsible lo the citizens by "stripping them of BMS" when they do not fulfill their promises. Patrick Reeves illustrated it perfectly when he listed the number of followers for BMS compared to Destination Brooksville. He showed you the BMS against Tl IEM attitude that runs rampant through our City. He even said in his speech that he "chooses BM S". There is no reason he needs to ·choose" either, the two groups can work together. The entire cause of discord between the business owners is over the fact that BMS and BVF will not release their complete financial records. The whole reason Destination Brooksville was formed was because Brooksvil le Main Street has left out 95% of the businesses in this town and we wanted a voice. So we gathered together lo work together, not to divide. We do events with zero tax dollars and we do them well. This is the exact kind of division Michael Heard sowed with the Blueberry Festival and we all know how that turned out. She is gone, as are her "grand unrealistic plans" and left is a fabulous well known Blueberry festival ran by ZERO tax dollars. The City did not fall apart with her exit, we grew stronger and smarter. Please do not fall for their basic psychological trickery. We will not lose the Friday Night Live Concerts and we will not lose the Christmas Events if the council makes the responsible decision not to fund BMS. We will only lose the never ending request for money without transparency to an organization that has not held up their end of the deal. We will only lose what has amounted to an overpaid events planning organization that has completely divided and held th is town 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 5 received from Staci Lewis White Page 4 of 4

hostage. I urge you to remember how damaging Michael Heard was to this town and remember she was on the BVF and a very big supporter and instrumental person in the development of Brooksville Main Street and her legacy of division and irresponsible spending needs to finally end.

Mr. Battista and our other Council Members were correct in saying that our downtown area is not the area where we have most of our commerce. We would all love to be located in the cute downtown Main Street area but as Mr. Battista pointed out it is not feasible. There are not enough buildings or room to build in the area to make it a successful area of commerce. People can not and will not traverse the steep hills. So why are we continuing to throw good money after bad money for this BMS program when it is physically impossible to make the area a success as they are promising. Why don't we continue to have the great events started by BMS (Christmas and concert events) that are for the enjoyment of the community and stop mislabeling them as "downtown development strategies". Please set a good example and show financial responsibility to your actual tax paying citizens and do not let the comments of concert goers from outside of Brooksville (non tax payers) sway your decision.

I apologize I could not be there tonight to speak my words in person but I am in Clermont at a performance. And unlike BMS I realize your schedule can not be changed to suit my schedule. Please vote to protect your citizens and your City and not for the special interest of the BVF.

City Council Members, Thank you for taking the time to read this email:

I absolutely think we should keep the Main Street Program. I know there have been problems with the past Director but I have seen the value of this program, in cities just like ours, all over the United States. It is a successful program, we just need a successful implementation! I believe it to be an excellent program with proven results. I also think the program needs us all to step into leadership roles in the committees that make up the core of Main Street. We, as a group, with the structure of the Main Street program can make a difference and lead our beloved city to a complete revitalization.

T think it .is time for us to figure out what we want. We have so many passionate people in this group that love our city, if we direct that passion toward revitalizing the city the results will be amazing. The Main Street Program is a proven structure for revitalization, but it requires participation and cooperation between all parties; business and community leaders as well as government. [f we all work from within by taking positions on the Main Street committees .. . it will stop being them and their program and 1t will become us and our MSP. The Main Street Program is a long term investment in our city not a quick fix. I understand this is not always easy when so many things are needed but it is defin itely necessary and worthwhile. I believe we all want our charming city to be a great place to come visit and to live. We deserve a Downtown that is bustling with activity, has a robust economy, is beautiful and has the kind of strong community support that cares for the city and ohe another. Jf we put aside our differences We can do together what we cannot do alone.Thank you City COLmcil for reading my comments regarding the Main Street Program .

Personal and public comments:

My thoughts: l also am not thrilled with the lack of financial repo1ting, but in all fairness Ryan is gone and it's a new slate and a fresh chance for us to get involved and take control of this program. r honestly can't imagine that 51 k is even going to make a minor dent in our infrastructure issues but l believe using that investment for Main Street could bring lots of people and new business into Brooksville to visit, work and live. That will make a huge difference for all of us! Then we will have the tax base to make major infrastructure improvements!

More of personal and public comments:

Unforlltnately almost no one in the community got involved. l think people misunderstood that it isntjust a program that you pay someone and they do all the work. It must be a community effort to succeed. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 7 received from Michael Dolan Page 1 of 8

Good afternoon Council members,

Attached is my letter of support for the Brooksville Main Street Program. It is unfortunate that a few downtown business owners are speaking against the program, they appear to only see business marketing as important. Unfortunately, it takes more than marketing a few downtown business activities to revitalize a downtown.

Sincerely,

Box 1323 Brooksville, FL 34605 cc: Natalie Kahler, Executive Director Brooksville Main Street Program P.O. Box 1323 Brooksville, FL 34605

I write in support of the Brooksville Vision Foundation and the Main Street Program, a fully supported project of the Vision Foundation. Three years ago, the State of Florida recognized Brooksville as a Main Street City with the condition that Main Street have adequate fund ing for three years and hire an Executive Director to implement the "Four Point Main Street Approach" to help revitalize downtown.

One third of our initial funding was generously provided by the City of Brooksville, one third by Hernando County and one third through citizen and business donations and in ­ kind contributions.

Our Mission: The purpose of the Brooksville Vision Foundation, Inc. , shall be to encourage quality economic development through organization, promotion, preservation, design, construction and cooperation with the City of Brooksville.

The Brooksville Vision Foundation is a non-profit volunteer group; formed in 2010 to collaborate with local partners and create positive economic development through short term and long-term goals. The Brooksville Vision Foundation wants to be an active participant in the process not only to aid in the development of a community 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 7 received from Michael Dolan Page 3 of 8 vision but to help sustain and enhance the quality of life in Brooksville, Hernando County's seat which we believe will encourage economic development without jeopardizing our history.

What happens when a group of community minded residents, local business owners and operators come together to work side by side with their local municipalities to encourage and improve the Each sector trying to reach common goals to provide their residence and businesses alike with better services and a quality of life; a community vision group is formed. There are many different definitions of the "Quality of Life"; some common and some obscure, but the true definition is personal satisfaction with the cultural or intellectual conditions under which we live.

Many economists say build your industrial base and your quality of life will come. Our belief is by developing a vision it will help us sustain and create a better quality of life and the industry will follow ... David Florida, the author of "Who's Your City" writes; "findings in a recent Place and Happiness Survey indicated that there is no tradeoff between aesthetics and basic services; both are equally important."

Vision

We believe in Brooksville, the charm of the historic courthouse and iconic oak tree whose trunk though gnarled and twisted over time remains steadfast supported by its deep roots. We believe in the residents who hold this city dear to their heart, home to generation after generation. We envision a Brooksville where families can gather in the downtown, enjoy a meal at one of many favorite restaurants, frequent familiar shops and enjoy a concert or performance under the big Florida sky. We envision Brooksville as a desirable location for business and industry to continue to grow and flourish. Brooksville is our home and a place where the memories captured and shared with those who live here and travelers who pass by.

BVF describes the preferred future of Brooksville expressed by our stakeholders who have spoken with a strong voice about the value in their community and what they want for its future - safe, walkable neighborhoods and parks, a thriving downtown district that maintains the historic charm that has existed for decades, a strong educational foundation for Brooksville's youth, vibrant local business districts, and excellent housing and employment opportunities throughout the City.

Land Use • Housing and Community Public Safety• Economic Development • Urban Design • Public Facilities

Over the past three years, the Main Street Program has established an office, hired a marketing specialist, initiated a number of downtown events and become a presence in the business community working to promote downtown business events and activities. It has established working partnerships with the GFWC Historic Brooksville Woman's Club, the Hernando Historic Museum Association, the Historic Hernando Preservation Society, and the Hernando County Fine Arts Council. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 7 received from Michael Dolan Page 4 of 8 To fulfil its Main Street charter, it has created four committees staffed with volunteers - Organization, Promotions, Design and Economic Vitality. Numerous Brooksville property and business owners sit on these committees lending their knowledge and experience to developing ideas and plans for revitalizing our beautiful and historic downtown.

Another aspect of Main Street's work is promoting Downtown Brooksville. Over the past two years, 1he Main Street promotions committee headed by Barbara Manual, working with our Executive Director, has developed the Friday Night Concert series, a monthly event held at the Bandshell and Hernando Park. This FREE monthly event has brought to town over 15,000 attendees, many from areas outside Hernando County. This event has grown to include four food trucks and over twenty vendors from around the city in a "Night Market". A monthly arts and crafts show, Uncommonly Artsy, is produced in concert with the Downtown Art Gallery located in City Hall. This event has featured live artists performing their work, interactive painting classes for children and recently teamed up with the Hernando County Growers Association "Blues In Cruise In" car show in front of the Historic Hernando County Court House. The success of events like this depend on marketing but also the support of the city with street closures, for which we are very thankful! The annual Christmas Festival has grown from a one day parade to a month long celebration with Snow machines, huge lighted Christmas trees, music, carolers and other performers, Santa and Mrs Clause, Sleigh Rides and a Reindeer corral. This event includes many others partnering with Main Street, like the Live Oak Theater and several churches. There are many other activities that Main Street supports; Last March, working with the Hernando County Tourism Board and the city, Bike Florida brought over 500 bicycle riders to town for four days, the Executive Director, again working with members of the city, tourism and several Brooksville business owners are meeting quarterly to plan for bicycle tourism and the economic benefits it will bring to Brooksville when the Brooksville leg of the Coast to Coast Connector is completed in 2022. Along with that, Main Street is the host organization for the Good Neighbor Trail Bike Ride which had over 135 riders in its first year (2018) and is planning for over 200 this year. This event was successful due to the participation of volunteers and businesses like Coney Island Drive Inn .

One last comment, the efforts of Main Street to work towards revitalizing our down town is, in many ways, taking the place of a City Tourism employee and an Economic Development employee. Were the city to hire staff to fill these two positions, the cost would be well over $150,000 per year, more than three times what funding Main Street costs.

This letter is in support of continued city funding for the Main Street program. I urge you to look at the bigger picture and continue your support.

The following attachment is from a TBT article in late 2017. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 7 received from Michael Dolan Page 6 of 8 Brooksville Vision Foundation strives to improve our comn1unity

The Brooksville Vision Foundation (BVF) is a nonprofit corporation that, according to its mission statement,"... works side by side with local partners to promote and implement positive economic development while preserving the historical and architectural integrity of Brooksville.''

Representatives from the Hernando County Fine Arts Council and the Hernando Growers Association, along with thirteen other people attended a meeting on Tuesday, October 17. They met to discuss ways to enhance downtown Brooksville by bringing new events to the area and continue improving events held in the past.

They discussed the popular Blueberry Festival which will take place in April of next year, as well as a First Friday event that will occur monthly. A charity golf tournament and a cycling race are also planned. Another way that BVF is acting to improve the economy of downtown is encouraging restaurants and stores to stay open on Friday evenings and hold drawings for prizes. The organization is also trying to find activities for the summer months when events typically taper off.

Also on the table for discussion was the Founders' Week celebration, Market on Main, and a Christmas celebration. There are also plans for a Fourth of July event next year. Cliff Manuel1 President of the corporation stated, "Through partnership with the [Brooksville] Main Street Organization we're trying to ramp up the decorative function of Christmas this year. We're offering businesses the opportunity to save a little money by purchasing the decorations through Main Street by not having to pay taxes on what they purchase."

The purpose of these events is to bring people to the downtown area, benefiting the merchants there and making Hernando County a destination for people from surrounding counties and even from other regions.

Manuel continued, "Brooksville Main Street's goals are to grow a sense of place and pride in community by working to bring about positive change to the historic fabric of our Historic Downtown Brooksville. Specific goals are to provide four significant events on an annual basis to drive a consistent presence in the 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 7 received from Michael Dolan Page 7 of 8 downtown area and to ensure proper preservation techniques through well­ written design review guidelines.''

The group also discussed the Good Neighbor Trail which is part of a network of trails linking parts of Florida. These trails are funded by the state of Florida and the federal government. The newest portion will traverse Brooksville - something that the BVF worked to ensure.

Sonny Vergara and Paul Shaskan from the Fine Arts Council spoke about their signature event, Art in the Park, and other projects, including several events next July. The council also maintains the beautiful murals that grace a number of buildings in the downtown area and they offer walking tours.

Vergara stated, "We are looking forward to having Brooksville Main Street involved in these events. We are going to generate an economic report to show how the arts are significant to Hernando County. Most importantly, we want to create an Arts and Cultural Center. We need this to have a place for local artists to showcase and market their art.11

Mike De Felice, a local farmer, was at the meeting to represent the Hernando Growers Association, an organization that connects local growers with consumers, restaurants and schools to promote healthy living and local produce. They are working toward having a farmers market sometime in the near future. Defelice presented their plans for Bike Rallies and Cruise-Ins in 2018 that appeal to motorcycle and vintage car enthusiasts.

DeFelice stated, "These events are an excellent opportunity for us to fund our organization and also meets the needs of the city to attract visitors. We are only forty-something miles away from the second largest metropolitan statistical area in the state of Florida -Tampa/St. Petersburg/Orlando combined."

He pointed out that these events would be a win-win for everyone concerned. Restaurants and stores would benefit from increased business, the county would benefit from increased visibility and visitors would enjoy a day of fun.

It is necessary for the community as a whole to support these various organizations so they can achieve their goals.

"BVF and Brooksville Main Street need cooperation and involvement from both the public and private sectors. Brooksville is a passionate community with deep 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 7 received from Michael Dolan Page 8 of 8 rooted pride in their people. This is the time to gather together and continue the pride of community that has been inherited by so many who have come befo re us," Manuel concluded.

I respectfolly request continued pa1ticipation and funding from the City of Brooksville in support of Brooksville Main Street, which is a program formulated and managed by the Brooksville Vision Foundation, Inc. Great progress has been made since the inception of Brooksville Main Street, and "we" need to continue "our" efforts to sustain the program and continue in a positive direction.

As a business and property owner for over 30 years in the City of Brooksville, and specifically in the downtown core area, I have witnessed and participated in other wo11hy organizations and efforts to promote economic vitality. Historically, achievements were made but unfortunately organizations and volunteer efforts were not sustained. A primary challenge for sustainability was "burn-out" by individuals and businesses involved, combined with a lack of team effo1t by others with negative and/or pessimistic attitudes.

Notwithstanding countless volunteer hours of dedication to the Brooksville Vision Foundation and the Brooksville Main Street Program, along with financial contributions by many, a necessary element for sustainability and continued success is a full-time Main Street Executive Director. The time associated with a multitude of tasks for success is overbearing for a volunteer with other personal and business responsibilities. Thus, the position must receive compensation for sustainability.

Despite the recent change of the Executive Director position, which was preceded by some perceived misunderstandings and negative elements which historically would be detrimental for continued success, the board, committee chairs and members, and volunteers are more energized and committed to move forward with a positive attitude. Further, positive headway is being achieved with the Destination Brooksville group of business owners. Natalie's effotts and leadership has helped produce a participation renaissance!

If you agree with the aphorism "a rising tide lifts all boats," I contend the tide has been rising in the Brooksville Main Street District. The programs and events organized or sponsored by Brooksville Main Street, including but not limited to Christmas on Main Street and Friday Night 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 8 received from Natalie Kahler Page 3 of 3 Live, and others continue to bring more people and promote the downtown area during and after normal business hours. The more people that experience downtown Brooksville the better, and the tide of activity and influence extends beyond the immediate downtown area. Therefore, I respectfully request the City of Brooksville continues to support the Brooksville Main Street Program with a minimum financial commitment as before, and hopefully more if the budget allows. Otherwise, I am concerned the tide of enthusiasm and success will again fall as in times past. We must thwart the up and down historical cycle and ALL move forward together and keep the tide rising beyond any perceived limits.

Good afternoon Susan,

I am responding to the information you requested from Vice Mayor Bernardini regarding the Main Street Program. The City began funding the program for a period of t hree (3) years beginning November 1, 2016 in the amount of $51,000.00 annually. The City is invoiced every quarter in the amount of $12,750.00 minus $1,220.00 for the space they rent which equals $11,530.00.

As to who receives a paycheck and miscellaneous funding would be directly through the Vision Foundation.

Brooksville City Council

Dear City Council Member

As a downtown Brooksville business owner I am writing in support of the Brooksville Main Street Program. I believe this program needs to continue beyond its initial three year period. This program has been proven in many other cities around the country but it has required continued support by both government and the citizens well beyond the initial three years

The programs and events the BSM has developed have had a positive impact for the city both economically and with its overall image. The Christmas events through the month of December bring many visitors to our city that would not otherwise come here. Friday Night Live gives families an activity to enjoy at little to no cost. The Night Market and Uncommonly Artsy gives local artisans a a venue to offer their products.

The BMS program provides a much needed focus on developing and revitalizing the area of the city that attracts visitors from all over the world. On a regular basis we meet people from Europe who are visiting our city. They walk our downtown photograph our architecture have lunch and visit our retail shops.

While I believe that there absolutely needs to be transparenC)' and accountability when asking for government funding, I believe that the BMS Program should be granted an opportunity to correct their issues and provide a proper accounting and a plan and budget to move forward. Given a reasonable deadline, if this can be fulfilled I feel some form of funding should be approved.

Our downtown is what defines our city. Our courthouse building, the oak trees lining our streets, properties like the Jennings Building built and owned by the former Florida governor are what attract people to the area. The benefits of bringing people to our downtown will cascade to other areas of the city helping all of the businesses. The more we develop this and the more events offered to attract visitors the more prosperous our city will be.

Best Regards

RE: Funding for BrooksvilJe Main Street Program

Dear Council Members:

This letter is to express the Historic Hernando Preservation Society's support for continued investment by the City of Brooksville in the Brooksville Main Street program. As a 501c3 organization dedicated to the preservation of our area's limited historic resources, we recognize that historic buildings are best preserved through continued use. The efforts of the Brooksville Main Street to encourage revitalization are paramount to this goal, both through it's preservation approach that keeps Brooksville authentic to its historic roots, and the encouragement of adaptive use of existing buildings for current uses.

Founded in 1856, Brooksville has the fabric for a great Florida Main Street destination, with a compact historic downtown set on rolling hills surrounding one of the most attractive historic courthouses in the state. The strong desire among the community to revitalize Brooksville while paying homage to its past through the Brooksville Main Street program can be seen in the efforts of a great number of dedicated and skilled volunteers, many of whom are members of our organization. The program is still in its early stages, and the changes will not come overnight, but we feel strongly that the continuation of this program will lead to the long-sought implementation of a stronger, more vibrant downtown Brooksville and the preservation of our unique historic town. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 12 received from Hernando Preservation Page 3 of 3 As all parties will benefit from a thriving downtown, we feel it is very much in the City's best interest to support this organization that brings together many skilled and talented volunteers for a common goal using the time-tested program developed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. We appreciate your consideration.

RE: Brooksville Main Street Support

Dear Council Members:

As business and property owners within the City of Brooksville for over 11 years, we are writing in support of continued funding for the Brooksville Main Street program.

We chose to locate our business in Brooksville due to its central location and historic downtown, which complements our business model ofservi ng historic homeowners. We have always seen downtown as "full of potential", but recognize chat it does gee discouraging co sec chat potential continue to be unrealized over the years. When we learned that the Brooksville Vision Foundation was pursuing the tried and tested model created by the National Trust for Historic Preservation for downtown revitalization, we wholeheartedly supported the effort. Since the implementation of the program we have seen a great deal of work being done by creative and dedicated people who want to see downtown Brooksville be the desirable destination that it can be. However, just as Brooksville didn't lose its vibrancy overnight, the efforts of the Brooksville Main Street will take time co see real change and we are realistic in our optimism and are prepared for long term support.

As pare ofour belief in Brooksville, we have purchased two vacant residential locs in the City limits with the goal of building the first of several model homes for our company's expansion into historically appropriate infill housing. This endeavor will bring people co Brooksville to tour the homes as well as co downtown Brooksville. We expect our work co complement the efforts of Brooksville Main Street to revitalize downtown, and the efforts of the Main Street program enhancing our work. Since the City of Brooksville also benefits greatly from the work done cowards revitalization, we feel chat it i~ the best interests of all co continue to invest in the Brooksville Main Street program.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Craig DcRoin Vice-Presidenr cc: Natalie Kahler, Main Street Director

RE: Brooksville Main Street Funding Request

Dear Council Members:

I am writing this letter from the perspective of a Brooksville business owner, Brooksville property owner, historic preservation advocate, investor, and Chair of the Brooksville Main Street Design Committee. I have been intimately involved in the Main Street program from the early stages, having been asked by the original organizers of the program to chair the Design Committee due to my design and preservation background. I am deeply committed to the program and have spent hundreds of hours volunteering for Brooksville Main Street to help get the program off the ground and implement its principles, as have my dedicated committee members. It is my understanding that the Council would like to know more about our program and work as part of the consideration for continued funding for the Main Street Program, so please excuse what will be a somewhat lengthy letter.

The Beginnings

I was asked to Chair the Design Committee clue to my educational and professional background. To give a summary, my undergraduate degree is from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture and I have a master's degree in Historic Preservation from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am also a licensed Florida Building Contractor. The majority of rny professional career has been spent as a self-employed preservation consultant in Florida, now totalling over 20 years. My preservation company bas been fortunate to work on a variety of projects for government agencies, private corporations and individual building owners, working on historic resource projects from initial planning through end construction. Our largest project lasted over 14 years and involved moving and renovating 64 historic buildings for the Florida Department of Transportation/ Federal Highway Administration as part ofl-4 improvements in the Ybor City National Historic Landmark District in Tampa. Since the completion of the Ybor project, our company has switched gears and focused on design-build projects for historic homeo,vners and is now working on infill new construction design for historic neighborhoods.

My husband (and business partner) and I, along with two young children moved to Hernando County in 2006 and relocated our business to Brooksville in 2008. We specifically chose Brooksville due to the historic downtown but wondered why Brooksville's potential remained unrealized while many other historic downtowns in Florida had been revitalized. Being familiar vvith the National Main Street program and how effective it has been in communities throughout the US, we thought it would be a perfect vehicle for economic redevelopment. When nearly a decade later we learned about the Brooksville Vision Foundation's efforts to bring a Main Street program to Brooksville, we were quite pleased. Then when I was asked to become a part of the committee structure after being recommended by the Historic Hernando Preservation Society president, I gladly said "yes!"

The Design Committee

According to the National Main Street Design Committee Handbook, the "Design Committee plays a key role in shaping the physical image of Main Street as a place attractive to shoppers, investors, business owners, and visitors. To succeed, the committee must persuade fiercely independent business and property owners and civic leaders to adopt a specific approach, and an ambitious agenda, for physical improvements to buildings, businesses and public improvements by: • Educating others about good design- enhancing the image of each business as well as that of the district • Providing good design advice encouraging quality improvements to private properties and public spaces • Planning Main Street's development guiding future growth and shaping regulations • Motivating others to make changes creating incentives and targeting key projects."

As you can see, the goals of the Design Committee are ambitious and require a lot of planning, coordination, and cooperation between many individuals. To be effective, there must be a consensus on what are considered the essential elements that create the unique character of downtown as well as what the desired approach is to design. Added to this, we had to figure out how we would communicate effectively vvith building owners as well as the business owners who often rent their retail and office space. The further challenge was to work ,vith the other committees, most notably the Economic Vitality Committee, as we choose where to focus our efforts so they complemented their projects.

The Design Committee began meeting in August 2016 (a mere three years ago), and we have had a group of roughly a dozen committed volunteers who meet once a month, plus spend additional time on committee projects. Our committee members range from life-long residents with multi-generational ties to the City, to transplants such as myself that have purposely chosen Brooksville for their home. They are all are committed to Brooksville and the Main Street program enough to donate their time and talent. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting -3- Attachment 15 received from Jo-Ann Peck Page 4 of 7

We began by creating an initial Work Plan (which was rather lofty in what we thought we could accomplish), then implementing the initial phase which we titled "Getting Up to Speed". We felt strongly that the best approach was to understand what goals had already been established by previous citizen and government efforts, better understand what made Brooksville unique, and find out ·what projects were already in the pipeline before inserting ourselves into the mix. At all points we wanted to be respectful of the community's already established goals and to find ways to support other organizations' efforts. Our original Get up to Speed goals were as follows, some of which remain on our 2019 Work Plan: 1. Gather existing data a. Design Guidelines b. Historic Designations/ Florida Master Site File surveys c. Existing ordinances d. Master Plan e. Historic Info i. Photos ii. Research f. Projects currently in the Works 2. Identify Existing Organizations/ Programs we can partner with a. City Beautification Program b. Historic Hernando Preservation Society i. Historic Markers Program c. History Museum d. City Wayfinding e. Coast to Coast Bike Traj) f. SR41/ 98 Reroute through downtown (1 way to 2 way) planners g. Others? 3. Identify Incentives Available a. Grants b. Tax Credits c. Tax Abatement d. Facade Grants e. Facade Easements 4. Survey all properties within the Main Street boundaries a. Identify key anchor properties b. Evaluate landscaping/ hardscaping, pedestrian flow c. Identify restoration/renovation opportunities i. Small fixes ii. Large d. Identify potential vacant sites for redevelopment

In addition to our monthly meetings, we spent many hours in the beginning doing assessment surveys of the Main Street district area. As a group, we walked street by street, stopping at each building to record information on building type, use, condition, style, take photos and identify 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 15 received from Jo-Ann Peck Page 5 of 7

possible improvements. We looked for low budget ideas that we thought we could implement vvith little to no funding (like adding flower boxes, power washing sidewalks, or creating storefront displays in empty buildings). We also dreamed of larger scale projects like infill construction on empty lots, burying utilities, or full scale restoration of our most significant historic buildings. The real benefit of the survey exercise was to intentionally look at each individual building rather than the cursory glance that you give a streetscape on a daily basis. We surveyed about ½ of the district for our initial assessments (focusing on the area immediately surrounding Main Street) and entered the info into a database for reference. Surveying the rest of the Main Street area remains on our 2019 Work Plan.

As part of the assessment, we also identified building owners that we thought would be open to working vvith us on building improvements from painting to awning repair. We were initially tentative to approach individual building owners thinking they might either feel that we were insulting their building or that we were interfering in their business, but we have been finding that free design advice is generally welcome, especially coupled with the possibility of using CRA grants. To date, our committee has talked to five building owners who have expressed interest in working vvith us, as well as a couple of business owners. The discussions are at various stages and we expect some of the results will be visible in the coming months. Below is an example of one of the project recommendations we have made, providing 3-D images for clarity to the building owner. For larger projects, we t1y to give an array of options, from simple upgrades that might be implemented immediately at low cost to what a full scale exterior renovation might look like.

The Committee also has several projects that are at various stages, with some in need of funding to implement and others still in planning stages. Here is a list of some of the projects we are either working on, planning to implement, or have not gotten further than a curso1y discussion yet: • Support the proposed Mermaid Trail as needed • Design banners for the new wayfinding signs • Coordinate vvith Arts Council to display artists' work in empty/ office occupied storefronts • Have a Storefront Design Workshop 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting -s- Attachment 15 received from Jo-Ann Peck Page 6 of 7

• Find places for flowers/ find a garden group to work with • Install curtains in vacant second floor windows • Create updated Design Guidelines both in full and condensed pamphlet form • Display Then and Now photos of downtown • Have tours that focus on local architecture • Start an architectural scavenger hunt (virtual vs. in person?) • Pursue National Register designation so property owners can take advantage of Tax Credits • Pursue local historic designation and implement an ad valorem tax abatement program • Disseminate information on available preservation incentives • Encourage use of empty second floors • Have a pressure washing day • Have a community painting day • 'Ask Main Street' open design question events (tent at Uncommonly Artsy?) • Continue to work with building and business owners on building design elements • Find funding/ donations to implement projects

While the work of the Design Committee so far has not been as noticeable as the events put on by the Promotions Committee, the behind the scenes work that we have done so far is starting to pay off with building owner buy-in and should show some visible results shortly. In addition, as we are feeling much more "Up to Speed" on how and what we want to pursue as a committee, we will begin community outreach events to offer our services. This will better allow us to adjust our work as needed to fit community needs. With the recent transition in Executive Directors, we have found some new avenues opening up and will be able to bring some of our proposed projects forward quicker. We now post our meeting minutes on the Main Street website so the community will see what we are working on monthly as well.

I am hoping that this provides some insight into what the Design Committee's purpose is, how we are working towards our goals, and some of what we hope to accomplish in the next couple of years. We recognize that redevelopment is a never-ending process and are committed to the organization for the long term. I would be glad to discuss any of the projects in person.

In Conclusion

Downtown revitalization is a complex process that cannot be accomplished through a single project nor a single entity. The Main Street Program is a unique approach that is not a merchants association, nor a chamber of commerce, but that works with and supports other organizations while following its proven approach to redevelopment and revitalization. Success stories are found throughout the United States that prove the worth of implementing the program, yet its unique approach to economic development in the context of historic resources means it can be uniquely focused on the characteristics that make Brooksville Brooksville. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 15 received from Jo-Ann Peck -6- Page 7 of 7

For successful, long-term revitalization, a comprehensive approach must be used. As a Committee, we are attempting to approach our goals in a purposeful and direct manner so thal \Ne can be respectful and effective. We believe the philosophy behind the Main Street Program is the perfect vehicle for Brooksville to achieve this long sought vision for the downtown; however, it must be done with the continuing participation of the City of Brooksville to truly be successful. As such, we encourage the City of Brooksville to continue financial support the Main Street program in this public/ private partnership.

I appreciate you taking the time to read through this and welcome your comments and questions.

To whom it may concern:

Please accept this letter of support for the Brooksville Mainstreet program and the following assessment of its benefits.

I am a local attorney who has lived in Brooksville for over 18 years and whose business is located in downtown Brooksville. I have a direct interest in the vitality of downtown Brooksville and I have observed the progress of the Brooksville Mainstreet program with interest for some time. I believe this program to be ultimately beneficial to the community and encourage you support it. Here is why.

One of the events of the Brooksville Mainstreet Program is, "Friday Night Live," musical event that is usually held once a month. I have found the, "Friday Night Live," event of the Brooksville Mainstreet program to have an overall positive benefit on downtown Brooksville when the event is held. This positive benefit extends to the businesses that are open downtown during the "Friday Night Live" event. When the event is held, I have personally observed the local restaurants, that are open, full to capacity.

Over the last ten years I myself have been involved in arranging entertainment events involving live music with the Hernando County Fair and the Blueberry Festival here in Hernando County with some success. Because of this, I know from experience what it takes to coordinate such entertainment events.

In every category the,"Friday Night Live," event was a tremendous success. It consistently drew large crowds, the sound system and sound engineers were highly professional, and the Musical acts were excellent and professional.

I attended the events and spoke to the people who were there and ascertained that a lot of the attendees had a very positive opinion of Brooksville because of the event. Many of the people who attended the event utilized the local restaurants and those businesses benefited economically.

As you might imagine, coordinating such an event like. "Friday Night Live," takes tremendous effort, presence of mind and organizational skills. I believe the previous organizer of this event has such skills and it is regrettable that he vacated that position.

Nonetheless, you have been left with a legacy, if you can keep it. "Friday Night Live," continues, at least until the end of the year, and it is important to build on what has been 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 19 received from Elliott Ambrose Page 3 of 3 accomplished. This event is just one example of what could be accomplished through the Brooksville Mainstreet program if it is appropriately supported.

The Brooksville Mainstreet program has the potential to extend tremendous benefit to the community ( economically and otherwise) if it is properly funded and administered. My understanding of this program is that it is a long-term program that takes time and commitment.

I therefore urge you to support this program in order to realize the full benefit of its intention.

On behalf of the Tourist Development Council (TDC) and the Visitor& Bureau, we are pleased to submit this letter of support for the Brooksville Main Street Program.

The TDC and Visitors Bureau staff have supported the Brooksville Main Street program since its inception. We have done so because we recognize the value of the Main Street Program and believe strongly in the positive impact the program brings to our community.

We have provided financial assistance in the form of Tourism Marketing Grants each year, and prior to the hiring of paid staff, we worked very closely with Barbara Manuel and the Promotions Committee to help launch the extremely popular Christmas on Main Street events, which have become a both a source of pride for the community and a significant draw to the City.

Main Street Brooksville has contributed greatly to making downtown Brooksville even more of a destination; with increased visibility for our merchants and restaurants, the many recurring monthly events and the spirit of collaboration within tl1e downtown businesses all hallmarks of its success. In fact, the program has brought so much visibility to downtown Brooksville that the Adventure Coast Visitors Bureau is now planning to relocate one of our Visitor Information Centers to downtown Brooksville. We would not have even considered such a move a mere four years ago.

We excited to be moving into the downtown, and for all that we can do to help drive economic impact and development through Tourism. With a mission that is closely aligned to that of Main Street's, we see many potential opportunitie~ for collaboration and partnership, and we are fully committed to supporting the Brooksville Main Street in the future. We are in fact, planning to co-locate the Visitors Bureau and the Main / Street organization in our new location, allowing for even greater collaboration and success for all involved. We hope the esteemed members of the City Council will continue to support this invaluable program and the good work on behnlf of our community and its future will continue.

Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Kemerer and Honorable Members of the Brooksville City Council,

On behalf of the Hernando County Growers Association, we are submitting this letter of support for the Brooksville Vision Foundation, Brooksville MainStreet Program.

From its inception, the Hernando County Growers Association has had support, guidance and technical assistance from the Brooksville Vision Foundation through the MainStreet Program and staff. The additional efforts of cross promotion and collaboration to ensure we were aware of and engaged with other organizations in our community has been invaluable.

We feel the impact this program will have moving forward is critical to the economic development of our downtown and look forward to progress under its new leadership.

Funding for the Brooksville Vision Foundation and its programs is a necessity, as a non-profit community development organization can access a wide variety of grant funding that a municipality cannot. The existence of programs like BMS validates the efforts and progress the Brooksville Vision Foundation has and will continue to make in attracting new businesses to our city.

Increasing the number and variety of businesses in our city is the key to our economic development and as an anchor in our community, BMS has the capacity to showcase business opportunities in our city by collaborating with community groups such as the Downtown business group, and formal organizations such as Kiwanis, Rotary, Brooksville Blueberry Festival, etc. to help market, coordinate and develop their events.

We am confident that the Brooksville Vision Foundation, whose leadership and mission is well seated and defined in our community, has made a well informed and prudent decision in appointing the BMS staff and we have full confidence that the development of successful new businesses and betterment of e..'1sting businesses is foremost in their efforts.

City Council Members,

I am a resident in Brooksville for the past 16 years and I am writing you because I am 100% in support of The Brooksville Main Street Program. I personally feel that everything the Brooksville Main Street Program has offered to our community along with the Blueberry Festival has helped put Brooksville on the map. The residents really enjoy the Friday Night Live program and the spectacular Christmas events in downtown Brooksville. I presently have a boutique inside Easy Street Home Decor and I speak to people who travel far and visit Brooksville on a daily basis. Many of which come here on the second Friday of the month to spend the day & then enjoy the music in the park. So it does work. I personally make a point to have them take a picture of the posters showing the events so they have the dates. I also encourage them to follow Brooksville Main Streets face book page so they are updated as well. If all of us continue to share the info as well the word will continue to travel and more people will come and help our economy grow .It is quite obvious to me that once people know about these events they do in fact make the effort to come and get involved. I do believe this program is extremely beneficial to the revitalization of our city. I know it takes a lot of volunteers to keep these programs going including the Vision Foundation. I have been at those meeting and I love how everyone just dives in and does what it takes to make it all happen. I was amazed at t he generosity of this community. The many donations collected from so many people in our area shows the love for this little city we all live in. Everyone knows that it does take an entire community that is "willing to work together" and help each other out to achieve the best results. At this point I can't even imagine ending the Brooksville Main Street program. The people who live here and look forward to these events will be extremely disappointed. I can't even fathom why there is any question at all to end it. Perhaps we should all collectively work together and do positive things to help our city strive rather than all the negativity I have seen in recent months. It is real ly bad for business and I for one refuse to participate. Please consider all that I have written in your decision.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

We are the owners of the Dolan House Bed & Breakfast Hotel located in downtown Brooksville. We have been actively involved in the community since buying the business and moving to town.

We think that there are many positive things to say about the business members of the Destination Brooksville team. As a recent participant in the "Christmas in July" event, we saw many people from Brooksville and from out of town. These people came to see and tour our home-many not even realizing there was a BnB in town. In addition, we sent all those guests to other downtown businesses to shop and buy.

We feel the Main Street Program is a program that should be continued but with some changes. We feel it should support the local downtown businesses of Brooksville (Christmas in July event) in addition to any programs that promotes (Friday Night Live, Christmas activities, bicycle events) and/or benefit the city of Brooksville.

With all this being said, there should fiscal accountability for any and all monies and services that are donated, raised or contributed. At any point t here should be open books in this accounting. If this cannot be done, then perhaps another organization needs to be created.

Sincerely,

My husband and I have been in business for over 28 years in downtown Brooksville. We have seen the highs and the lows in regards to the foot traffic in downtown. The Main Street Progran1 has helped us by advertising certain events, especially Patricia's Windows Co1ne To Life, that we perfor1n each December. Our crowds have increased tremendously over the past 6 years. People now arrive hours early just to get a good spot.

I believe we have the Main Street progra111 to thank for getting the Brooksville Police Depart1nent to close the second lane in front of Patricia's so the adults and children were safe to enjoy the show.

I support the Main Street Progra1n and all of the branches that are involved through them. I believe they are an essential part of the puzzle needed for the developn1ent of our downtown.

To: William Kemerer, Mayor of Brooksville Brooksville City Council Members, Joe Bernardini, Betty Erhard, Robert Battista, Pat Brayton Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing this letter in support of the Brooksville Vision Foundation and the Main Street Program. As a longtime resident of Brooksville, a charming city that I love dearly, I wanted to give back to my community. This is one of the reasons I agreed to be the Chair of the Promotion Committee. I, along with other business owners and volunteers, have worked since the inception of the Main Street Program, meeting once or twice a week to decide how we could bring people to downtown Brooksville and revital_ize the buildings and downtown areas. We came up with a Christmas Lighting Extravaganza for downtown. We were blessed to have a lighting expert who could build the 35-foot tree, decorate, place all the lights and decide on the plan for the music. The second year we added Santa C!aus and the sled and reindeer, the 12-ft Toy Soldiers, refurbished the wreaths on the courthouse and added lights to the front. The 25-ft. tree was added last year to City Hall and all the decorations for Hernando Park along with all the snow machines. I think you see the results of what we called, 11Christmas On Main Street". The City and County were vital to help fund this project, along with large donations from private citizens and businesses. It was a total community effort. We had at least four thousand people at "Christmas on Main Street" last year. That does not count the people who were there throughout the month of December each night with the caroling groups. This cannot happen without teamwork and determination to make our city grow and flourish. I am telling the Council this to say that this is only one thing we were able to accomplish. With the addition of the Executive Director, who added more events and brought Main Street professionals in to the city to give us ideas on how to improve the downtown area. You ca nnot imagine how much time and money all of us have given to help with t his project. The things we have accomplished takes money and the city, county and local citizens and businesses helped make it possible. I have people coming up to me all the time asking to please continue making the Christmas event possible because they enjoy it so much and they have somewhere to take relatives and friends when they visit during the holidays. 07.26.2019 Special City Council Meeting Attachment 25 received from Barbara Manuel Page 2 of 2

In closing, please consider the following questions. Has the Main Street program brought people into Brooksville who would not have come otherwise? Are the businesses better off today with the events presented by the Main Street Program? Are we working toward revitalizing our downtown area? Lastly, if the Main Street Program ceases to exist, where will our City go from there. What a shame if we lose the one group who has only had three years to build a program that other areas have worked on for 15 or more years. It's not just events, it's working with partners to refurbish buildings and bring more retail into our area. We have a full-time Executive Director of the Main Street Program to coordinate all the aspects of the program. We will all keep volunteering and promoting our city as we have always done. I would ask the City to continue funding for the Main Street Program.

Respectfully, !l¼Uvt

Mr. Kemerer,

I am writing this letter in su pport of the Main Street Program. I have lived in Brooksville all of my life and have watched the Main Street Program engage the community in so many ways. The downtown Christmas on Main Street has brought so many people to our beautiful city. The Friday Night Live concerts have made it exciting downtown with all the people. The businesses that stayed open had to do a good business as well .... The Main Street Program has inspired business with new ideas, such as Small Business Saturday, and so many others.

It takes time to build a program like this and we should not stop mid-stream. I am totally behind the program and hope it continues for years to come.
