Executive Summary
Kesslers exhaustive investigation commenced with a comprehensive analysis of all the documents
provided by the CRA. While these provided documents were absolutely vital to the investigation, it
must be noted that not all necessary documentation was in fact providedeven after numerous
requestsand therefore Kesslers subsequent analysis is reflective of this fact.
Kesslers initial financial analysis commenced with a thorough review of the CRAs budgeted
revenue as compared to its actual revenue. Through Kesslers extensive study of the finances
occurring during the fiscal years of 2008 through 2012, Kessler identified that the CRAs actual
revenue was substantially less than its budgeted revenue due to the appropriation of previous
years funds in the budgeted revenue. This carrying over of prior years funds resulted in a total
of $140,242.00 being reflected in revenue by fiscal year 2011. Kessler also examined the budget
reports for these corresponding years and found that the figures reported for the Ad Valorem Taxes
and Tax Increment Financing appear correct.
Kessler then proceeded to examine the CRAs actual expenditures versus its budgeted expenditures.
Within this section, Kesslers analysis revealed that the CRA was over budget for fiscal year 2010
essentially spending more than it budgeted. Kessler identified the cause of this issue as a bad debt
write-off in the form of a large duplicate payment made to a vendor which was not fully repaid.
This revelation caused Kessler to probe deeper into the finances concerning the over-payment, and
unearthed information from a city employee explaining how the City was culpable for this double
payment, as well as the resulting debt owed to the CRA. Kessler noted that this balance was never
paid back to the CRA, and further investigation into Florida Bankruptcy Records revealed that no
bankruptcy claim was made by the vendor to justify this lack of payment.
Kessler then analyzed the transfers occurring between the City and CRA. The nature of these
interfund transfers are explained by the fact that the City and CRA shared one bank account up until
a motion was made by the CRA on July 24, 2012 for the creation of its own account, as it is a
separate and distinct legal entity as defined by the Attorney General. The specifics of this shared
account were closely analyzed by Kessler, and revealed a questionable entry for fiscal year 2008.
This entry is a negative beginning balance indicating the City owed the CRA funds which the CRA
5
over-spent, yet as the financial information regarding this entry is applicable before the scope of
this audit, Kessler was unable to verify its cause.
Kessler also analyzed the specific CRA rehabilitation project entitled The Restoration of the
Historic High Springs Elementary School. Kesslers analysis of this project involved a
comprehensive review of all applicable agenda minutes, contracts, bids, and invoices to ascertain
that CRA funds were being appropriately expended. During this particularly extensive analysis,
Kessler identified the presence of two phases (Phase I-Exterior; Phase II-Interior) within the
restoration, and subsequently structured its analysis accordingly. Findings related to Phase I
focused on verifying that the project was in accordance with the guidelines of the CRA Plan, which
Kessler was able to verify with the exception of funds being spent on utility bills for the Old School.
Additional analysis of Phase I sought to verify that financial documents for the demolition and
exterior work done were both legitimate and within the best financial interest of the CRA. In
regards to this, Kessler was not able to verify if the allocation of CRA funds was in fact
representative of the bids from vendors, due to a lack of bid documents and construction contracts
not provided for Phase I, despite numerous requests.
Furthermore, analysis disclosed issues pertaining to the bidding process for Phase II, the interior
construction, of the Old School. Kessler reviewed the bid documents and the contract and
determined in fact that the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder.
Correspondences with a city employee brought to light a surtax that raised funds allocated towards
the Old School restoration. Due to a lack of quality record keeping, un-provided documentation,
and payments to the vendor made outside the scope of this investigation, Kessler is unable to verify
the true financials specifications regarding CRA funds allocated for Phase II.
Kessler also focused on the total amount of redevelopment expenditures made by the CRA, as well
as the legitimacy of said expenditures in relation to Florida Statutes concerning redevelopment and
the CRA Plan. The general expenditures were labeled as such due to having no particular
rehabilitative project associated with themessentially individual expenses which Kessler broke
down as: Utility Bills, Maintenance, Promotional Items, Christmas Decorations, and Other
Questionable Expenditures. Kesslers analysis of the project-related expenditures was structured to
investigate the following questionable projects: Decorative Street Lights, James Paul Park, Gazebo
at Pocket Park, and the Farmers Market Pavilion. As these rehabilitative efforts appear to have a
6
more easily identifiable project-scope, Kessler reviewed the funds allocated in regards to these
projects, as well as their relation to redevelopment as defined in the Florida Statutes and CRA Plan.
Kessler concluded that these project expenditures were often in violation of both the Florida
Statues and CRA Plan by resembling maintenance more than long-term rehabilitationspecifically
in the case of James Paul Park. Additionally, Kesslers analysis of CRA Board Agenda minutes in
regards to both general and project expenditures reveal CRA funds being given as grants to other
community entities (Main Street Program/Community Development Corporation) for advertising,
holiday decorations, and TV commercialsexpenditures clearly not going towards
redevelopment. In Kesslers review of the expenditures it was also noted that all invoices
provided were addressed to the City, not the CRA.
As the analysis of both general and project expenditures introduced the entity known as the Main
Street Program, Kessler strove to unearth the connection between Main Street and the CRA.
Kesslers initial findings revealed that the Main Street Program was functioning as an umbrella
corporation under the High Springs Community Development Corporation, an independent not-for-
profit corporation. This revelation sparked a thorough analysis of the CRA Board Agenda minutes,
as well as the tax records of the CDC in order to verify grants were used properly. Analysis of the
IRS 990 tax records of the CDC reveal significant contributions from the CRA to Main Street/CDC
being used for salaries and other expenses such as: advertising, travel, food, and office supplies.
Kessler noted the discrepancy in the CDC/Main Streets use of funding, as well as three conflicts of
interest revolving around its personnel. Revelations such as these have led Kessler to conclude that
CRA funds granted to the CDC/Main Street were improperly handled, poorly documented, and
fiscally irresponsible. As continually stated, despite numerous requests, Kessler was unable to
receive documents detailing the CDC/ Main Streets intended use of CRA funds.
Kesslers findings regarding the Main Street Program necessitated a closer look at other entities
and/or individualsreceiving grant money from the CRA, which included: the High Springs New
Century Womans Club, High Springs Community Theatre and Hugh A. Buie, Sr. Kessler determined
that a lack of record keeping exists as to the usage of CRA funds being granted.
Kessler also focused on the contractual services between the City and CRA. These services account
for administrative and maintenance services paid to the City from the CRA, yet Kessler was not able
to verify the basis of the allocation of the contractual funds, as such documents were not
provideddespite numerous requests. Due to a lack of documentation delineating the specific
7
purpose and nature of these services, Kessler is unable to verify the funds being expended on such
services and considered them improper disbursements by the CRA.
Finally, Kessler analyzed the CRAs necessary reporting requirements, which included: Annual
Financial Reports, Special District Reports, and a Report of Activities. Kesslers extensive research
was able to verify proper reporting of the Annual Financial reports, as well as the specific criteria
being satisfied in order to file as a Dependent District within the Special District Report. The only
discrepancy noted by Kessler was the lack of a newspaper publishing for the Report of Activities, as
necessitated by Florida Statutes.

Background & Scope
Kessler International (Kessler) was retained by the City of High Springs, Florida (City) to
perform a forensic audit of the High Springs Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for fiscal
years 2008 through part of 2012.
High Springs is a relatively small, close-knit community with a population of approximately
5,350. Kesslers audit covered myriad facets of the CRA as well as the rehabilitative efforts
conducted by the CRAwith a major aspect of the audit focusing on the analysis of content and
guidelines within the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 in relation to their application within
CRA activity during fiscal years 2008 through 2012. Founded as Chapter 163, Part III, of Florida
Statutes, The Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 was established under the premise of
creating an agency responsible for redeveloping and restoring areas of blight, neglect, and social
disrepair. The act outlines matters of agency funding, establishment, and the required
establishment of a Redevelopment Trust Fund to be used solely for redevelopment activities. The
Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 additionally delineated the creation of a CRA Plan that
establishes limits on expenditures as approved by both the CRA governing body and tax authorities,
with agency funding being achieved through a combination of tax increment revenues via each
taxing authority.
The CRA was established in 1986 in an effort to promote the revitalization of destitute areas, as in
accordance with Chapter 163, Part III, of Florida Statutes. Specifically, the CRA has jurisdiction over
a central, downtown area known as The Community Redevelopment District.
The High Springs, Florida Redevelopment Plan (CRA Plan) was prepared by the University of
Florida in 1986 for the City of High Springs (Exhibit 1). Within this plan are four foundational
objectives detailing the major initiatives of the CRA Plan, quoted as follows:
1. To show that the redevelopment area has problem and deficiencies as defined in
Florida Statute 163.340.
2. To show that the study area is in need of rehabilitation, conservation, and
redevelopment and to present strategies to effectively maintain and improve the
public health, safety, and welfare of High Springs residents.
9
3. To present a short-range development plan for the proposed study area, which is
designed to be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan of 1986.
4. To propose that the redevelopment agency of High Springs be composed of the
members of the City Commission.
In regards to the guidelines elucidated in Objective 2 stated above, the CRA proposed a
Rehabilitation Policy (page 25-6) which is described as follows:
This redevelopment plan proposes that buildings within the study area which are
deficient but which can be rehabilitated should be treated accordingly. A building
should be adapted to serve a different function if this is appropriate based on location,
zoning regulations, and demand.
The specified rehabilitative efforts targeted by the CRA for rehabilitation, as stated in the CRA Plan,
include the following:
1. repairs and repaving of sidewalks;
2. the installation of a new sewer system to improve safety and sanitation practices;
3. repairs and repaving of streets;
4. the clarification and removal of lot lines to facilitate property demarcation;
5. the redevelopment and creation of new housing for low or moderate income families;
6. restoration of blighted areas for beautification and community development
Clarification of the term blighted area can be found in Section 163.340(8), Florida Statutes, which
classifies it as an area in which there are a substantial number of deteriorated, or deteriorating
structures, in which conditions, as indicated by government-maintained statistics or other studies, are
leading to economic distress or endanger life or propertywith fourteen further addendums
comprising the entire criterion (Exhibit 2).
Under Section 163.340(9), Florida Statutes, Community Redevelopment is extensively defined
under the following terms:
Community redevelopment or redevelopment means undertakings, activities, or
projects of a county, municipality, or community redevelopment agency in a
community redevelopment area for the elimination and prevention of the development
or spread of slums and blight, or for the reduction or prevention of crime, or for the
provision of affordable housing, whether for rent or for sale, to residents of low or
moderate income, including the elderly, and may include slum clearance and
10
redevelopment in a community redevelopment area or rehabilitation and
revitalization of coastal resort and tourist areas that are deteriorating and
economically distressed, or rehabilitation or conservation in a community
redevelopment area, or any combination or part thereof, in accordance with a
community redevelopment plan and may include the preparation of such a plan
As per the guidelines defined above, Community Redevelopment, and by extension the actions of
the CRA, are contingent upon adherence to the six maxims comprising the term Community
Redevelopment, as well those outlined in the CRA section for Rehabilitation Policy.
In order to effectively analyze and assess the requests of the CRA, Kessler delved extensively into
the budgets, contracts, correspondence, discussions, and pertinent legislature regarding the topic of
rehabilitation within the City. A comprehensive study of all related and provided documentation
was conducted to ensure thoroughly conclusive results. Specifically, the focus of this audit was to
review the agreements of the CRA for fiscal years 2008 through 2012, and to analyze the financial
records of the CRA, which included a review of the revenue and expenditures of the CRA and
monetary transfers between the City and the CRA. In addition, the audit included a concentrated
focus on the finances and discussions involving a specific CRA rehabilitation project entitled, The
Renovation of the Historic High Springs Elementary School.

Financial Analysis
Kessler performed an analysis of the financial records provided for the CRA. Kessler analyzed the
budgeted and actual revenue of the CRA and noted that the CRA was substantially under budget for
fiscal years 2008 through 2012. It was determined that budgeted funds were being carried over
each year to be used as revenue in the following year. This does not conform to the stipulations of
the Florida Statutes. Additionally, Kessler analyzed the budgeted and actual expenditures of the
CRA and noted that the CRA was over budget in fiscal year 2010 due to an overpayment to a vendor.
Kessler analyzed the transfer of funds between the City and the CRA and noted a discrepancy in the
beginning balance. The Cash Due To/Due From General Fund of the CRA was found to have a
negative beginning balance which Kessler was unable to verify due to the limited scope of the audit.
It was further determined that the CRA does not maintain a bank account separate from the City.
According to the Attorney General, the CRA is a separate legal entity from the City. As such, they
should maintain separate bank accounts.
In the audited financial statements of the City, the CRA is identified as a blended component unit of
the City, and presented as a non-major governmental fund type. The CRAs financials are included
within the City financials, with the exception of the Combining Balance Sheet and Combining
Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for Nonmajor Governmental
Fundswhich identifies the CRA as the Downtown Development fund. In addition, it should be
noted that the CRAs fiscal year ends September 30.

Budgeted Revenue vs. Actual Revenue
The budgeted and actual revenue for the CRA was analyzed through the duration of fiscal year 2008
through June 30 of fiscal year 2012. It was noted that the CRAs actual revenue was substantially
less than the budgeted revenue for fiscal years 2008 through 2012, as seen below. Kesslers
spreadsheet delineating the actual versus budgeted revenue can be seen on the next page.
Revenue FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011
FY 2012
(Partial)
Budget $270,099.00 $ 486,140.00 $326,240.00 $ 430,954.00 $ 436,445.00
Actual 204,760.06 203,375.70 244,773.56 290,711.00 201,949.33
Under Budget $ 65,338.94 $ 282,764.30 $ 81,466.44 $ 140,243.00 $ 234,495.67
The primary reason for the difference in budgeted and actual revenue is the appropriation of
previous years funds in the budgeted revenue, which totaled the following for each fiscal year:
Appropriation of Prior Year
Funds
FY Amount
2008 $ 65,314.00
2009 97,052.00
2010 116,968.00
2011 140,242.00
In response to our inquiry on this matter, Kessler received a response from a City employee
indicating that the appropriation of prior year funds is available for use in the coming year but
would not be actual revenue and that the amounts are not entered in the actual financial statements
as they are just the flow of the fund balances. However, it was noted that these funds are budgeted
as revenue during each fiscal year. By fiscal year 2011, the accumulation of prior years funds being
carried forward total $140,242.00.
Section 163.387(7), Florida Statutes, states that any funds left in the CRA trust fund on the last day
of the fiscal year after the payment of expenses shall be:
Returned to taxing authorities;
Used to reduce debt;
Deposited into an escrow account for the purpose of reducing debt later; or
Appropriated to a specific redevelopment project pursuant to the Plan that will be
completed within 3 years (Exhibit 3).
The CRA did not follow any of the required mandates as indicated in the Florida Statutes.

The actual revenue from Ad Valorem Taxes stated on the CRA budget reports for fiscal year 2008
through 2011 were compared to the CRA general ledger, for which all figures matched. The figures
were then analyzed against the Tax Increment Financing calculation sheets provided (Exhibit 5).
The actual revenue from Ad Valorem Taxes corresponded to the given calculations.

Budgeted Expenditures vs. Actual Expenditures
Kessler reviewed the budgeted expenditures of the CRA compared to the actual expenditures for
fiscal year 2008 through 2012. It was noted that the CRA was under-budget in each fiscal year with
the exception of fiscal year 2010, as seen below:
Expenditures FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011
FY 2012
(Partial)
Budget $ 434,260.00 $ 369,152.00 $ 208,527.00 $ 340,863.00 $ 436,445.00
Actual 173,022.00 183,460.00 221,500.00 340,860.00 191,546.00
Under Budget $261,238.00 $ 185,692.00 ($12,973.00) $ 3.00 $ 244,899.00
The CRA fund was found to be over budget for fiscal year 2010 by $12,973.33. In relation to this
overage, Section 166.241, Florida Statutes, states that an officer of a municipal government may not
expend or contract for expenditures in any fiscal year except pursuant to the adopted budget
(Exhibit 6).
It was observed that the over budgeted amount in fiscal year 2010 was due to a bad debt write-off
of $12,976.00. In response to our inquiry on this matter, a City employee stated that the bad debt
write-off was the result of a duplicate payment made to the vendor Contract Connection, Inc.
In addition, Kessler noted that the budgeted expenditures in fiscal year 2010 and 2011, with the
exception of the bad debt expense, almost exactly matched the actual expenditures. It appears
highly unusual that funds were expended in amounts equal to the budget. It appears that the CRA is
falsely showing available funds as unavailable and structuring it to make it appear that the CRA is
always under budget.
Kesslers spreadsheet delineating the actual versus budgeted amounts for the CRA General Ledger
Expense accounts follows on the next page.

Contract Connection, Inc.
Kessler requested documentation in support of payments to this vendor and was provided with
cancelled checks, purchase orders, invoices, and work papers from the City (Exhibit 7). The
documentation provided showed a payment of $49,976.00 on December 20, 2006 for a quotation
from Contract Connection, Inc. for bike racks, benches, trash cans, tree gates. A city employee
stated that after the installation of the products, a second payment was subsequently made on June
6, 2007 on an invoice for $49,976.00, resulting in a duplicate payment to Contract Connection,
Inc. Kessler could not ascertain a reason as to why the CRA is culpable for a financial loss incurred
by an oversight of the City, or even how such an egregious mistake could be made involving
taxpayer dollars.
Furthermore, it was noted that the quotation and invoice were addressed to David Crawford of the
Main Street Programa separate entity independent of the City, and umbrella corporation to the
non-profit, High Springs Community Development Corporation. Kessler could discern no
reasonable cause as to why the City ever made payments on quotes and invoices billed specifically
to the Main Street Program, an entity whose mission is to provide education, support, guidance and
vision for the preservation, improvement and economic restructuring of the historical High Springs
Downtown District.
The City indicated that attempts were made to collect the excess payment from the vendor, yet
these efforts proved to be delayed due to a lack of funds claimed by Contract Connection, Inc. As
shown through the documents provided by the City, only $37,000.00 of the $49,976.00
overpayment was collected from the vendor over the course of ten months, resulting in a loss of
$12,976.00 of taxpayer dollars. Kessler is unable to verify receipt of the full $37,000.00 as the
scope of our audit was limited only to transactions after 2007. The amount said to have been
received from Contract Connection Inc. for 2008 totals $12,000.00. Kessler observed $12,000.00
posted to the general ledger of the CRA in fiscal year 2008.
A personal bankruptcy filing record was found in the name of Irwin M. Krohn III and Gleneda G.
Krohn, dated May 29, 2009. Within this filing are the following three entities which they also
conducted business as: Contract Connection Krohn Holdings and Dr. Playground (Exhibit 8).
Not listed within this filing is Todd Krohn, who is explicitly mentioned as President of Contract
18
Connection, Inc. by a city employee. The connection between Todd Krohn, and Irwin and Gleneda
Krohn is unclear, but appears questionable.
Kessler has searched extensively, but has yet to yield any bankruptcy filings for Contract
Connection, Inc. As Contract Connection, Inc. is the company responsible for the outstanding
balance, there appears to be no justifiable reason as to why the City desisted in their attempts to
fully collect payment. Additionally, Kessler found no mention of the City within the list of claims for
the bankruptcy of Krohn et al d/b/a Contract Connection.
19
Interfund Transfers
Kessler observed that the CRA does not maintain a bank account separate of the bank account for
the City funds. Based upon Attorney General Opinion No. 91-49, dated July 11, 1991, a Community
Redevelopment Agency is a separate, distinct and independent legal entity (Exhibit 9). Therefore
the CRA should maintain a separate bank account. The creation of a separate bank account for CRA
funds was only recently proposed by the CRA during a July 24, 2012 CRA Board meeting.
The CRA Cash Due To/From General Fund account was analyzed for fiscal year 2008 through June
30 of fiscal year 2012. The balances in the account for each fiscal year are as follows:
Balances of CRA Cash Due To/From General Fund Account
Cash Due To/From
General Fund
FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011 FY 2012
Beginning Balance ($161,771.02) $ 81,916.22 $ 123,270.63 $ 105,396.04 $ 90,499.03
Debits 371,563.21 136,336.99 139,856.69 224,059.63 291,451.04
Credits 127,875.97 94,982.58 157,731.28 238,956.64 279,504.32
Ending Balance $ 81,916.22 $ 123,270.63 $ 105,396.04 $ 90,499.03 $102,445.75
Kessler performed a sample analysis of the transactions in the CRA Cash Due To/From General
Fund account. The transactions posted in the account corresponded to the CRA general ledger. It
was noted, however, that the beginning balance for fiscal year 2008 in the account was a negative
value, which appears as though CRA funds were expended by the City. Kessler is unable to verify
this due to the limits on the scope of the audit.
The positive ending balances in the account for fiscal year 2008 through 2012 show the carrying
over of budgeted funds from the prior year, as described previously.
20
Analysis of the Renovation of the Historic Elementary School
Kessler observed that the Historic High Springs Elementary School (Old School) renovation
project was conducted in two phases: Phase I Exterior; Phase II - Interior. Based on our review of
the documentation provided as support of CRA expenditures, it was determined that a total of
$135,120.71 was spent by the CRA on expenses relating to both phases of the Old School renovation
for fiscal year 2008 through July 31
st
of fiscal year 2012, as seen below:
Old School Expenditures
FY Amount
2008 $ 452.98
2009 4,930.99
2010 39,584.00
2011 18,376.85
2012 71,775.89
Total $ 135,120.71
It was noted that the CRA acquired funds from different CRA accounts, possibly in order to fund
expenses related to the Old School. The expenses were located in several CRA accounts including:
Repairs & Maintenance-CRA, Building Demolition, Contractual Services-CRA and School
Renovation, as shown below.
Old School Expenditures - Accounts
General Ledger Account Amount
Repairs & Maintenance - CRA $ 498.97
Building Demolition 44,469.00

CRA Plan Guidelines
Kessler noted that the renovation plans involving the Old School fall within the guidelines for
Rehabilitation Policy listed in the CRA Plan (page 25-6). The details of the Rehabilitation Policy
explain that This redevelopment plan proposes that buildings within the study area which are
deficient but which can be rehabilitated should be treated accordingly. Further evidence arises via
the map of Prominent Structures located on page 12 of the CRA Plan, which identifies the Old
School as a Vacant School.
The CRA Plan also states that in order for projects to be deemed rehabilitative under the
Rehabilitation Policy, A building should be adapted to serve a different function if this is appropriate
based on location, zoning regulations, and demand (page 25-6). The intent to meet these
requirements appears in a letter written by Kirk Eppenstein, Chair of the CRA, which details that
The City plans to use the restored facility as a community center which will include but is not limited
to, offices, classrooms, craft areas and programs for youth and senior citizens (Exhibit 10).
The only discrepancy noted by Kessler in regards to adherence to CRA Plan guidelines was in the
form of payments made towards utility bills. Specifically, a total of $498.97 was expended for
water and sewer service at 235 NW 2
nd
Street, within the period of November 2007 to September
2008. Although the CRA Plan includes a proposal for the installation of a sewer system, the Plan
does not explicitly indicate the allowance of CRA funds to be expended on operating and
maintenance expenditures related to the rehabilitation of the Old School.
Historic High Springs Elementary School

Old School Phase I Exterior
Kessler has observed that the amount of CRA funds expended towards Phase I of the Old School
renovation was $44,469.00 during fiscal years 2008 through 2010. As inferred from the agenda
minutes, Phase I has been categorized by funds expended on exterior restorations and demolition.
Despite numerous requests for documents, Kessler has received no bid documents or contracts for
rehabilitative work pertaining to Phase I of the Old School renovation, and is unable to verify the
identity of all vendors and bid amounts during the duration of this phase.
Kessler conducted a thorough review of all CRA Board Minutes provided in order to identify
pertinent dialogue related to bids, construction, and the allocation of CRA funds related to Phase I of
the Old School Renovation. These minutes provided Kessler with supplemental context to financial
documents provided (cancelled checks, invoices, purchase orders), as well as insight into the
discussions directly relating to the use of CRA funds.
This first section of minutes focuses on notable dates where discussion of Phase I of the Old School
Renovation is occurring. Discussions pertaining to Phase I appear in the agenda minutes spanning
January 16, 2007 to February 17, 2010, and encompass topics of exterior building renovation, as
well as demolition of certain wings of the school.
CRA Agenda Minutes: January 16, 2007
Minutes from this meeting contain the first discussion of the Old School within the
documents provided to Kessler. Within these minutes, the Old School is mentioned in a
project update by Project Manager, Penny Banks (Banks), where he states, they were at
the contract signing stage and when signed and returned to the contractor, the project will be
underway. Grant has expired but has been extended. The entire project should take four to five
months. Documentation of later agenda minutes shows that the renovation took longer
than the anticipated four to five months.
Additional discussion of the school was initiated by Chairman, Kirk Eppenstein
(Eppenstein), who stated that he would like an official report on the old wing, if it is able to
be re-built or it needs to be demolished. In response to Eppenstein, Executive Director
James Drumm (Drumm) provided that, the city had obtained a price for tearing down the
building but a citizen, Charlie Pults, requested the wing be saved and an engineer study
23
showed the concrete structure was sound but there could be a problem with mold. We did not
receive a definitive answer. Despite numerous requests, Kessler has received no bid or
contract documentation for demolition work done on the Old School.
CRA Agenda Minutes: March 29, 2007
These minutes reveal discussions concerning the restoration of the Eastern Wing of the Old
School. Drumm states the roof on the east wing is in need of repair, it was not included in the
initial grant and is therefore not part of the grant monies. The contractor estimated a cost of
$6,800.00 to repair the roof while they are on-site repairing the other section of the roof. In
response to this, Commissioner Larry Travis (Travis) inquired where would this come
from-does the CRA have funds to cover, which was then answered by Drumm as yes,???[sic]
, followed by, there are other line items we can get if we run short with the [sic]. The
motion for approval of funds for restoration in the amount of $6,800.00 was made by
Member James Gabriel (Gabriel), seconded by Member Bryan Williams (Williams), and
then unanimously carried. Despite numerous requests, Kessler has not received bid or
construction documents pertaining to roof repairs done on the Old School. Additionally,
information regarding the aforementioned grant funds pertains to financial documents
prior to the scope of Kesslers investigation, and therefore could not be verified.
CRA Agenda Minutes: May 10, 2007
These minutes include a presentation involving the renovation of the Old School detailing
that $300,000.00 matching funds; $600,000.00 total would not cover the cost of the project
due to rising construction costs.
Further analysis notes the presence of two phases within the renovation process. The first
phase encompassing the exterior or shell of a building which was expected to be
completed around September 1
st
, while phase two will cover the interior so the City can
actually utilize the building as a Community Center with electricity, plumbing, floors, etc.
CRA Agenda Minutes: July 23, 2009
These minutes contain discussions of demolishing the 1950 Wing of the Old School. During
these discussions, mentions of a bidding-process, as well as the presence of asbestos within
the Old School come up repeatedly. Drumm is the first to comment on this here, we have
24
went to bid, there were some concerns, there was asbestos and some people were concerned
with the age. In regards to this, Banks discloses the contents of two bids received,
Simpson: 43000 and enviro inc [Sic]: 17000. Despite numerous requests, Kessler was not
provided with documentation for these or any other bids, but was provided with an invoice
which details the CRAs payment of $21,115.00 to EnviroRem, Inc. for asbestos abatement.
There is no further discussion or explanation of the bid/decision process used to select
EnviroRem within the board agenda minutes.
Discussion then turns to demolition and the budget allocated for this project. Travis states
that, 270000 is budgeted for this project, which is followed by a motion (by Travis) for the
CRA to approve 17900 dollars for the old schools wingthis was then seconded by Gabriel.
As depicted within the spreadsheet for expenditures spent on the Old School renovation,
the amount of $18,469 was paid towards Watson Construction Co., Inc. on February 25,
2010 for demolition of the North Wing. Despite numerous attempts, Kessler has received no
documentation depicting the bidding process or eventual decision to select this particular
vendor.
A final motion was then made by Travis stating the allocation of 7000 for air monitoring of
the asbestos that would occur during the demolitionthis motion was then seconded by
Gabriel. The only documentation Kessler received pertaining to air monitoring is an invoice
dated August 19, 2009, from Browning Environmental Services Technology (BEST), in the
amount of $2,885.00 for City of High Springs Old Elementary School Asbestos Abatement
Air Monitoring. Kessler has detected a potential conflict of interest in regards to the
manner in which the air monitoring process was handled. In addition to the invoice from
BEST for asbestos abatement, there is also an invoice preceding it which depicts a cost of
$2,000.00 for Preparation of Abatement Specifications and Schedule with Bid Package. As
BEST prepared the schedule and subsequently completed the abatement, the amount of
actual time required to complete the monitoring is at the discretion of the vendor, which
appears questionable.
CRA Agenda Minutes: February 17, 2010
Minutes from this meeting show discussions concerning estimates from Architect MLD to
provide services for the renovation of the Old School Building and would include updating the
25
plans, certification of the plans, preparing the bid documents and overseeing the project, as
well as the statement by Director Christian Popoli (Popoli) stating that renovation of the
Old School building was divided into two phases. These minutes appear to mark the end of
Phase I, and reference the initial planning stages of Phase II.
26
Old School Phase II - Interior
Kessler has observed that the total amount of CRA funds expended towards Phase II of the Old
School renovation was $90,152.74 during fiscal years 2010 through 2012. As inferred from the
agenda minutes, Phase II has been categorized by funds expended on interior construction
including electrical, plumbing, and flooring. The initial bidding process for the Old School
renovation began with a pre-bid conference on July 12, 2011 involving the selection of the final six
candidates (from an initial ten). Two addendums to the pre-bid agreement were then issued in the
days following the pre-bid conference: Addendum One (July 13, 2011), and Addendum Two (July
20, 2011). Lastly, the finalized bid proposals (containing the alterations and details from the two
addendums) were required to be submitted by the final six candidates by July 26, 2011. Despite
numerous requests, Kessler has not received any documentation regarding the bid documents for
the Old School project, with the exception of a blank bid proposal form (Exhibit 11).
Bid/Contract Documentation
Kessler was provided with MLD Architects Addendum One and Two regarding the Historic High
Springs Elementary School, Phase II Interior Renovations (Exhibit 12). These two Addendums
act as additions, or a part of the contract documents and modifies the original specifications and
drawings provided during the initial pre-bid conference for pre-qualified bidders on July 12, 2011.
Addendum One, dated July 13, 2011, lists the six qualified bidders (reduced from the initial ten
present at the pre-bid meeting) for the project as:
The Alexander Group, LLC
CSI Contracting, Inc.
Shine & Company, Inc.
George Burns Enterprises, Inc.
Anglin Construction Co.
Little & Williams, Inc.
Kessler reviewed the bid documents provided in regards to the above-named bidders. It was found
that the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, Anglin Construction Company. Kessler was
provided with the agreement dated August 25, 2011, between the City and Anglin Construction
Company for the Restoration of Historic High Springs Elementary School, Phase Two (Exhibit
13). The contract was for $525,800.00, subject to additions and deductions as provided in the
Contract Documents. These additions are explained via the CRAs option to move forward with
27
additional renovations (beyond the base bid), in the form of three Additive Alternates listed on
the bid document form: 1) Renovation of West Addition, 2) Renovation of East Wing, and 3)
Abatement of Lead containing paint at corridor base trim. It should be noted that Kessler did not
audit the actual construction of the Old School project and therefore cannot verify the actual costs
allocated to the project.
The CRA Board agenda minutes were reviewed in order to identify pertinent dialogue related to
bids, construction, contracts, and the allocation of CRA funds related to Phase II of the Old School
Renovation. These minutes provided Kessler with supplemental context to financial documents
provided (cancelled checks, invoices, purchase orders), as well as insight into the discussions
directly relating to the use of CRA funds. This particular section of minutes relate to Phase II, or the
interior construction (electrical, plumbing, flooring) of the Old School Renovation. Discussions
pertaining to Phase II appear in the agenda minutes spanning July 28, 2011 to August 9, 2012, and
detail the planning, bidding process, project progress, and matters of payment to Anglin
Construction Company. Discussions within these minutes also reference documents received by
Kessler in regards to expenditures involving Phase II.
Minutes from this meeting reveal discussions concerning bids for school renovation. Popoli
states the bid results for the central portion of the School Renovation and noted that the
lowest bid was for $525,800 plus an additional $8,000 for lead testing in the baseboards and
the hallways totaling $533,800. In regards to the CRAs proposed 2011/2012 Budget,
Popoli noted that the shortage is approximately $60,000. Although the CRA claims this to be
the lowest bid, due to a lack of availability of other bid documents, the amount and identity
of the bidder cant be verified.
CRA Agenda Minutes: September 8, 2011
Minutes from the meeting on September 8, 2011 detail the presentation of a three page
loan approval letter from M&S Bank regarding a loan for $85,800 fixed rate of 3.25%, for the
renovations of the old school house by Popoli. A motion was then made by Vice Chair Sue
Weller (Weller) to move forward with the loan with the conditions that include staff calling
a couple of banks to inquire about interest rates and with a request for staff to provide a
memo clarifying the repayment schedulewhich was seconded by Travis, and eventually
28
carried 4-1 (Member Davis voted no). Kessler did not receive documentation concerning
the aforementioned loan. It was observed that $85,800.00 was budgeted in fiscal year 2012
as proceeds from loan. Due to the limited scope of the audit, Kessler was unable to verify
whether the loan was received by the CRA.
CRA Agenda Minutes: August 9, 2012
Minutes from this meeting detail the final discussions involving renovations of the Old
School in the documentation provided to Kessler. These minutes contain a discussion
involving the payment of around $59,000 to Anglin Construction for renovations involving
the Old School. Additional discussions noted the topic of the City paying the CRA back for
this. In regards to this matter, Weller moved motions to authorize final payment to Anglin
from existing CRA fund and should it be found this is not appropriate, they [sic] city to pay it
back, as well as a motion to amend the original motion as stated by City Manager
Langmanboth seconded by Carter, both carried. As the documentation provided to
Kessler in support of expenditures only extends to July 31, 2012, the final payment of
$59,000 could not be verified. A complete breakdown of the final payment process to
Anglin Construction Company (based on information provided to Kessler) is elucidated in
the following section.
29
Payments to Anglin Construction for Phase II
Kessler noted the only payment by the CRA towards the Old School renovation to be in the form of
$70,031.34 on June 14, 2012, Draw #8 - HS Elem. School Phase II. This invoice also reveals
Change Orders made to the project in the amount of $10,122.00. These two change orders are
described as $8,771 (plb,framing) and $1,351 (Floor Framing), and despite numerous requests,
Kessler has not received documentation detailing the nature of these change orders. In addition to
the $10,122.00 in change orders supplementing the amount of the initial contract, this invoice notes
prior billings in the amount of $407,752.56, with no previous invoices being provided to Kessler
despite repeated requests.
In response to Kesslers inquiries concerning the previous payments of $407,752.56 to Anglin
Construction Company, a city employee indicated that the payments were made froma City general
fund account (Building Improvements Parks and Rec.). Kessler observed payments in the
Building Improve-Parks & Rec general fund account to Anglin Construction Company totaling
$407,752.48 during the period of December 2011 through May 2012.
A city employee indicated that the Building Improvements Parks and Rec. account was funded by
a county wide surtax, Local Government Infrastructure tax Wild Spaces, Public Places tax, to be
used in part for the Old School renovation. Kessler received documentation showing a total of
$535,238.25 in revenue from the Infrastructure tax to the City General Fund within the period of
fiscal year 2009 and 2011. Additionally, Kessler retrieved Alachua County Board of County
Commissioners Ordinance 08-17 detailing the use of the surtax (Exhibit 14). Specifically stated in
the document is the project for the renovation of the Historic High Springs Elementary
School/Community Center (establish a Youth-Center-Senior Center). The city employee stated,
The funds raised by the surtax that were pledged to the old school was $425,173. This same
employee then indicated that the CRA voted to pledge the estimated balance needed to complete
the project beyond the $425,173.00 ($128,915.00) towards the completion of one section of the Old
School. Approval of the budgeted amount of $128,915.00 was found in the CRA Board Agenda
minutes from September 8, 2011.
It is questionable as to why the CRA expended $135,120.71 in funds towards the total renovation of
the Old School, as the City was also funding the project through a general fund account.
30
Redevelopment Fund Expenditures
Section 163.387(1)(a), Florida Statutes, requires funds allocated to and deposited into the
redevelopment trust fund to be used by the agency to finance or refinance any community
redevelopment it undertakes pursuant to the approved community redevelopment plan. Section
163.387(6), Florida Statutes, further clarifies that funds in the redevelopment trust fund may be
expended for undertakings of the CRA, as described in the CRA Plan for the following purposes,
including, but not limited to:
Administrative and overhead expenses necessary or incidental to the implementation of the
CRA Plan;
Redevelopment planning, surveys, and financial analysis expenses;
Acquisition of real property in the redevelopment area;
Clearance and preparation of any redevelopment area for redevelopment and relocation of
site occupants;
Repayment of principal and interest or any redemption premium for any form of
indebtedness;
Expenses incidental to or connected with the issuance, sale, redemption, retirement, or
purchase of any form of indebtedness;
Development of affordable housing within the community redevelopment area;
Development of community policing innovations.
In addition, Section 163.387, Florida Statutes, emphasizes that CRA funds may only be expended
pursuant to what is described in the CRA Plan. Section 163.370(3)(c), Florida Statutes, states that
the CRA may not expend funds for General government operating expenses unrelated to the
planning and carrying out of a community redevelopment plan.
Kessler performed an analysis of all the expenditures of the CRA for fiscal year 2008 through July
31 of fiscal year 2012. The results of this analysis identified that supporting documentation for all
CRA expenditures failed to clearly identify the projects for which allocated funds were expended. In
addition, it was noted that all bills being paid by the CRA are addressed to the City. These bills
should be addressed specifically to the CRA as the CRA is a separate, distinct and independent legal
entity of the City, as stated previously.
31
CRA Questionable Expenditures
Kesslers analysis targeted specific expenditures either not authorized by Chapter 163, Part II,
Florida Statutes, or not in accordance with the CRA Plan. The findings showed that the CRA was
expensing funds for the payments of utility bills, maintenance-related expenses, promotional items,
the purchase of holiday decorations, other questionable types of expenses and expenses relating to
the installation of decorative street lights; renovations of James Paul Park; the purchase of a gazebo
for Pocket Park; and expenses incurred for the proposal of the Farmers Market pavilion. Kessler
delineated the CRA expenditures for fiscal years 2008 through 2012 as follows:

Kessler determined that portions of some of these expenditures were also identified as questionable, as
described in the corresponding sections of this report.
32
Utility Bills
The amount spent on utility bills totaled $8,407.46 for fiscal years 2008 through 2012. These
expenditures were for electrical meter readings of a street light at 35 Northwest 1st Avenue and
Chamber restrooms of 1320 South Main Street. According to Section 163.370, Florida Statutes,
CRA funds should not be expended for general government operating expenses, for which utilities
would be classified as. Additionally, the payment of bills related to the operation of utilities is not in
accordance with the guidelines of the CRA Plan. It is also unclear why the CRA would be allocating
funds to the Chamber of Commerce.
Maintenance
The total amount of maintenance-related expenditures equaled $31,988.68 for fiscal years 2008
through 2012. The expenditures that Kessler classified as maintenance included: the purchase of
flowers; gardening and landscaping supplies; irrigation supplies; power sweeping; annual
inspection of the fire extinguisher at the Chamber of Commerce; and supplies related to the
installation of banner racks, banner arms, rope lighting, benches and garbage cans. Kessler noted
that the CRA did not identify the rehabilitative efforts of these maintenance-related expenditures
in the documents provided. Maintenance-related expenditures do not appear to fall within the
guidelines of the more substantial, long-term rehabilitative efforts encompassed in the term
redevelopment within Section 163.340, Florida Statutes.
Promotional Items
The total amount of promotional expenditures equaled $5,835.00 for fiscal years 2008 through
2012. These expenses included: billboard fees, payment for a TV commercial, and magazine and
article advertisements. Promotional expenditures do not appear to qualify as redevelopment as
defined in Section 163.340, Florida Statutes.
Christmas Decorations
The amount expended on Christmas decorations totaled $5,981.83 for fiscal years 2008-2012. This
included the charge for the construction and fabrication of a Christmas tree ($4,000.00), as well as
expenses for the purchase of decorations and supplies. There is no reference made within the CRA
33
plan authorizing funds allocated for redevelopment to be used for the purchase of holiday
decorations.
Other Expenditures
The total of other questionable expenditures is $9,445.62 for fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
These questionable expenditures included: supplies and food for Art in City Hall, fireworks, and
supplies for the Pioneer Days festival. These types of expenditures do not appear to qualify as
redevelopment as defined in Section 163.340, Florida Statutes, nor are they stated within the CRA
Plan. It was also observed the CRA paid a total of $3,311.81 for an insurance policy renewal in fiscal
year 2012. The total insurance premium was allocated among several City fund accounts. Kessler
is unable to determine the basis of allocation for insurance.
Decorative Street Lights
A total of $162,383.14 was expended for the installation of decorative street lights for fiscal year
2008 through July 31 of fiscal year 2012. Of these expenses, $158,511.60 comprised payments on a
lease from Banc of America Public Capital Corp. for the decorative street lights and $3,871.54 was
expended on supplies, tools, and services relating to the installation of street lights.
Banc of America Public Capital Corp. Lease
Kessler was provided with a letter from Banc of America Public Capital Corp. to the City (not the
CRA), dated August 26, 2006, for the financing of $185,000.00 over a 60 month period for New
Decorative Street Light Posts (Exhibit 15). The letter states that five payments of $40,031.52
should be paid annually with the first payment starting in August 2006. Kessler is unable to verify
payments prior to 2008 due to the scope of the audit, however, a total of four payments for
$40,031.52 were observed in the financial records of the CRA for fiscal year 2008 through July 31 of
fiscal year 2012.
Schedule of Property No. 001 regarding Master Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement filed with
the bank, dated October 13, 2006 between Banc of America Public Capital Corp. and the City states
that the lease was specifically for New Decorative Street Lighting in Downtown High Springs. The
invoices provided as support for the lease include invoices from Lumec, Inc. and Contract
Connection, Inc. totaling $183,386.00 (Exhibit 16). The invoice for Contract Connection, Inc. as
34
described previously was for the purchase of bike racks, benches, and trash cansfor which a
payment was made that resulted in a duplicate payment to the vendor and is not in accordance with
the purpose of the lease. It was noted that the invoices are addressed to the City, not the CRA and
that they do not state a per unit price. Despite several requests, bid documents were not provided
and therefore, Kessler cannot verify the cost for the street lights.
In regards to inquiries pertaining to the locations of the installed street lights, a City employee
stated that The lights, benches and trash cans are all located on North Main between Highway 441
and Railroad Avenue, South Main between Railroad Avenue and SE 1st Avenue, NW 1st Avenue
between Main Street and NW 2nd Street and NE 1st Avenue between Main Street and NE 1st Street.
Support was not provided as to the specific locations of where the street lights were installed.
Kessler was not provided with documents showing the payment for the installation of the street
lights or the exact location of each light. It is also unknown whether the street lights were new or
whether they were used to replace older lights.
While these expenses fall within the area designated for rehabilitation, and potentially qualify as
redevelopment under Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes, a proposed project to install street
lights is not stated within the CRA Plan; therefore should not have been paid by the CRA.
James Paul Park
A total of $8,143.73 was expended in regards to the James Paul Park project. The types of
expenditures concerning this project were mainly maintenance-related. The maintenance of this
park is not listed within the guidelines of the CRA Plan; therefore CRA funds should not have been
expended towards the project.
35
James Paul Park
Farmers Market Pavilion
A total of $8,150.00 was expended in regards to the Farmers Market Pavilion project. These
expenditures related to a proposal for the assembly of a pavilion for the Farmers Market. It was
noted that this project is not stated within the guidelines of the CRA Plan; therefore should not have
been paid with CRA funds.
Kessler retrieved an article titled Fiscal Fixes: Resilient Responses to the Fiscal Crisis, dated
February 20, 2010 discussing the Farmers Market in High Springs, Florida (Exhibit 17). The
article states that Grants from the Kellogg Foundation and the Project for Public Spaces, community-
based partnerships, and community fundraisers enable both projects [Farmers Market and
Community Gardens] to be self-sustaining, requiring no tax funds for operation. With this
information, it is unclear why the CRA is expending tax-payer funds on projects related to the
Farmers Market.
Gazebo at Pocket Park
A total of $6,230.51 was expended for a gazebo at Pocket Park. These expenditures included the
purchase of a 12x18 foot gazebo ($3,506.00), a handicap ramp and stairs ($1,800.00), and
36
supplies and materials for the gazebo ($924.51). The building and installation of a gazebo is not
stated within the CRA Plan; therefore should not have been funded by the CRA.
Repaving & Parking Project
A total of $177,630.42 of CRA funds was expended on the SW Railroad Avenue Repaving and
Parking project with fiscal years 2008 through 2012. Kessler determined that these expenditures
are in accordance with Florida Statutes. Section 163.370(2)(c)(3), Florida Statutes states the CRA is
allowed to expend funs on the installation, construction, or reconstruction of streets. It was also
found that the CRA Plan specifically identified the repairs and paving of streets as a proposed
rehabilitative project.
In response to Kesslers request for bid documents, a city employee stated that the bidding process
was handled by contracted engineers and we have had to ask them to send us the copies of the bids.
Kessler was provided, however, with the bid tabulation sheet for the project, which showed
Coleman Construction, Inc. (the contractor used for the project) as the lowest bidder.
Kesslers spreadsheet detailing the specific expenses related to each type of expenditure can be
seen on the next page.

CRA Board Agenda Minutes: Expenditures
Kessler undertook a thorough analysis of the CRA Board agenda minutes in order to identify
pertinent dialogue related to questionable project-related expenditures by the CRA. These minutes
provided Kessler with supplemental context to financial documents provided (cancelled checks,
purchase orders, invoices), as well as insight into the discussions directly relating to the use of CRA
funds. This particular section of minutes spans from January 24, 2008 through February 2, 2012,
and primarily discusses issues involving Pioneer Day banners, CRA support of Main Streets 4th of
July Celebration, funding for billboards & holiday decorations, the Gazebo at Pocket Park, funding
for a TV commercial, and landscaping for the downtown area of the City. These minutes highlight
discussions of questionable expenditures pertaining to items not in adherence with the term
rehabilitation as outlined with the CRA Plan.
Minutes from this meeting reveal the presence of Main Street Manager, David Crawford, and
registered agent of the High Springs Community Development Center, Ross Ambrose
(Ambrose), discussing the arrival of Pioneer Day banners. Ambrose states in the minutes
that, the banners should be here in mid-February, and they are in the process of creating a
process of approving the banners.
Drumm also responded to Gene Levines query concerning the banners, which asked if
there was an ordinance on the books regarding banners and asked if it would affect these
banners. In response to Levines query, Drumm responded by stating that we are currently
reviewing the sign ordinance to address banners and determine the difference between this
kind of banner and the kind you put up for something like a grand opening that does not have
a permanence to the wind.
CRA Agenda Minutes: May 08, 2008
These minutes describe the intent to support Main Streets July 4
th
Celebration. A motion
was then made by CRA Commissioner, William Coughlin (Coughlin), to sponsor the High
Springs Independence Day Celebration in the amount of $3,000. The motion was seconded
by Travis, and then declared carried 4-0 by Williams.
38
Minutes from this meeting reveal a request from Constance Heuss (Heuss)noted as a
CDC Board Member in the CDCs 2008 990-EZ formsfor funding for a billboard on I-
75. Heuss goes on to describe that the cost would be $6,500-$15,000 yearly and $650-
$1,500 vinyl cost, depending on if the billboard is lit. There is no further mention in the
minutes delineating the proposed purpose or content of the billboards.
Kessler observed invoices specifically relating to the use of funds for billboards, which
reveal that the CRA expended a total of $3,900.00 on billboard rental fees from December
2008 to November 2009. There is no indication of the contents or purpose of the billboards
listed within these invoices. In addition, included in the documentation provided to Kessler
was an email, dated December 18, 2008, from Sandi Richmond of City of High Springs to
Heuss, regarding the proposal for the billboards. In this email Richmond stated that the
City will be invoiced $300 a month for 13 months for a total of $3900. It was also indicated
that the cost will be split between the City, Main Street and the Chamber of Commerce. Such
promotional expenses do not satisfy the requirements of Chapter 163, Part III, Florida
Statutes. Additionally, as this falls under Section 3-A (Promotion Committee Objectives) for
Main Streets Long Term Strategic Plan: 2008 Update, there appears to be no reason as to
why CRA funds are being expendedas Main Street identifies this as its own project, with
its own leader, Heuss (Exhibit 18).
Heuss also made mention of a Christmas tree proposal involving a company named
Themeworks. Heuss then stated that, a decision would need to be made by September 1
st
,
and that the cost would be $6,800 with Themeworks donating ornaments from a tree from
Sea World. Supporting documentation shows that $4,000.00 was spent on a Christmas tree
from Theme Works, Inc. on September 30, 2008.
In regards to Heuss two proposals, Eppenstein responded this amount would exceed the
amount budgeted for promotions, and that the board would need to review the budget.
39
Minutes from this meeting reveal the transcription to be in draft format. During the course
of the minutes, Ambrose makes mention of billboards paid for by the CRA, saying we have
two signs on I75 that main street and CRA paid for. There is no further mention made
concerning the nature or purpose of these billboards.
Further discussions by Popoli briefly mention quotes for a proposed gazebo to be located
within Prospect Park, they have some gazebo designs these are supposed to have long life
span. they request some quotes a-$ 22304 b- 144070. Documentation of these quotes was
not included in the minutes provided.
Minutes from this meeting disclose a motion made by Board Chair, Eric May (May), to
approve paying for the overtime costs for the Police Department for Pioneer days for the
Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $1,020 from the promotions line item. Motion to
approve was made by Travis, seconded by Williams, and ultimately passed on a count of 5-
0. In response to Kesslers inquiries regarding further information of this expenditure, a
City employee replied Not [sic] separate transfer was done for this. There was $70,000
transferred to cover administrative services from the City. No paperwork was sent to Finance
to authorize an additional transfer.
CRA Agenda Minutes; December 8, 2011
Minutes from this meeting reveal continued discussions of the Prospect Park Gazebo
project, with Popoli presenting the history of the project to members. Conversation then
turned towards the potential allocation of funds for the gazebo, with Member Bob Barnas
(Barnas) recommending an amount of $15,000 in addition to the $6,000 being
donated. In response to this, Director Popoli stated the he will research further options
and back the information to the Board for review. Financial documents provided to Kessler
reveal the final costs of the gazebo project to be $6,233.51.
Minutes from this meeting contain a motion made by Barnas to move forward with CRA
funds up to the amount of $1,500 to be used to produce a TV commercial for the City of High
40
Springs, with matching funds or similar funds from the business community with the City of
High Springs and prior to making a commitment to do that [sic] get a quote from TV 20. The
motion was seconded by Weller, and ultimately carried 3-2. Commercials are not found to
be listed under the guidelines of the Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes.
Mention of the Prospect Park Gazebo comes up again via an update from Popoli, who
presented two quotes to the Board for consideration. The lowest quote was from Mark's
Portable Building. A motion was then made to by Weller for Christian Popoli to move
forward and come back with the final figures for the January 26, 2012 meetingmotion was
seconded by Davis, and ultimately carried 5-0. Documentation of these quotes was not
included in the minutes provided. It was noted that the gazebo was ultimately purchased
from Nelson's Lark Buildings for $3,506.00. No bid documents were provided for our
review regarding this expense.
Minutes from this meeting contain the final mention of the Prospect Park Gazebo in the
agenda minutes provided to Kessler. Discussions within these minutes detail Popoli
presenting a request for a maximum of $3,000 for the gazebo and landscaping project. A
motion was then made by Weller to approve up to $3,000 toward the pocket park out of the
Improvement Other Than Buildings lineseconded by Gestrin, and ultimately carried 4-0.
Further discussions detail a request by City Manager Langman for $500 to make sure there
were sufficient funds for flowers in the downtown area. This was followed by a motion made
by Weller to authorize up to $500 for CRA funds for flowers in the downtown area
seconded by Davis, and ultimately carried 4-0. Expending funds for flowers and
landscaping is not found to be listed under the guidelines of the Chapter 163, Part III,
Florida Statutes.

Main Street Program
The CRA expended a total of $99,000.00 from fiscal year 2008 through July 31 of fiscal year 2012 in
the form of contributions to the High Springs Main Street Program, as follows:
Fund Contributions to Main
Street Program
FY Amount

The High Springs Main Street Program (Main Street) is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation
independent of the CRA, operating as an umbrella corporation under the non-profit High Springs
Community Development Corporation (CDC). In relation to their objectives, Main Street states
that it is their mission to provide education, support, guidance and vision for the preservation,
improvement and economic restructuring of the historical High Springs Downtown District. In
addition to their mission statement and objectives, Main Street lists eight target project goals:
To preserve the historical, cultural and natural characteristics that make downtown High
Springs unique.
To encourage and sustain an inviting and walkable downtown High Springs.
To encourage and support a diverse mix of sustainable businesses in downtown High Springs.
To promote and support downtown High Springs as a destination for living, shopping, working
and playing
To establish and maintain a solid organizational structure, accomplished through the
development of management systems, a sound budget and clearly written work plans.
To recruit and retain enough committed volunteers to implement special projects and meet
ongoing operational needs.
To achieve ongoing financial stability for the project with a diverse base of donors/funders.
To improve and maintain community awareness of High Springs and the Main Street Project
among residents, businesses, visitors, neighboring communities, and local, county and state
government (Exhibit 19).

Analysis of Main Street Financials and Grant Awards
Kessler requested all documentation regarding the contribution of CRA funds to Main Street for
fiscal years 2008-2012. In support of the annual contribution to Main Street for fiscal years 2008,
2009, and 2010, Kessler was only provided with cancelled checks, City purchase orders, and
invoices from the CDC/Main Street stating Annual CRA Funding Contribution to High Springs Main
Street program (Exhibit 20). Applications for the granting of these funds were not provided, nor
was the documentation regarding the specified usage of these funds.
The only documented record Kessler has of Main Streets application for funding from the CRA
occurred during fiscal year 2011. Documentation exists in the form of a letter written by Lucie M.
Regensdorf; President, Community Development Corporation-Main Street Program to the CRA, dated
on November 27, 2010, in which they are requesting a grant of $4,000.00 of CRA funds for the
purchase of supplies and other necessary items to install bicycle racks (Exhibit 21). This is the only
documented exchange of project proposal and designated fund allocation between Main Street and
the CRA provided to Kessler for the fiscal years 2008-2012. In regard Kesslers request for this
documentation, a City employee stated This is all the documentation that was received in the
Finance Department. That I am aware of there was never a requirement of the Main Street Program
to give any documentation back regarding use of the funds. There are no apparent documents
accounting for the means of the Main Streets expenditures during the duration of those fiscal years.
Kessler was able to retrieve the CDCs IRS 990-EZs for fiscal years 2007 through 2009, while
further research revealed that the CDC filed 990-N (e-Postcards) for fiscal years 2010 through
2011. Evidence of Main Streets connection to these finances is described in the Federal Statement
attached with the 990-EZs, which describes the functions of both the CDC and Main Street.
Kesslers analysis of the CDCs 2007 990-EZ forms showed a total of $67,126.00 received in grants
by the CDC, and $3,282.00 given in grants by them. Recipients of grants from CDC funds included:
High Springs New Century Womans Club (Faade Grant: $1,500.00), High Springs Community
Theatre (Faade Grant: $766.00), The Flower Exchange (Faade Grant: $580.00), and Kathy Pults
(Faade Grant: $436.00). Questionable grants noted by Kessler included Kathy Pults, who is listed
as secretary of the CDC.
43
The IRS 990-EZs for 2008 reveal a reported total of $60,171.00 received in grantsa year in which
the CRA was shown to have contributed $35,000.00 to Main Street (Exhibit 22). Further analysis
shows the CDCs reported total revenue as $69,047.00$11,784.00 of which was expended on
Salaries, other compensation, and employee benefits. Additionally, money expended on other
expenses (Dues, licenses, telephone, advertising, food & travel) totaled $37,166.00, thereby
revealing that between salaries and other expenses, a total of $48,950.00 was spent on items not
appearing to be utilized toward any rehabilitative projects, as per the guidelines of the CRA Plan.
Kesslers analysis of the CDCs 2008 990-EZ forms showed a total of $60,171.00 received in grants
by the CDC, and $2,625.00 given in grants by them. Recipients of grants from the CDC included:
Jericho Mortgage (Faade Grant: $1,125.00), and Pats Place (Faade Grant: $1,500.00).
Questionable grants noted by Kessler included Jericho Mortgage, which shares the same address
listed by Kathy Pults, who is listed as secretary of the CDC.
The IRS 990-EZs for 2009 reveal a total of $35,073.00 received in grantsa year in which the CRA
was shown to have contributed $30,000.00 to Main Street. Further analysis shows the CDCs total
revenue as $49,488.00$33,828.00 of which was expended on Salaries, other compensation, and
employee benefits. Additionally, money expended on other expenses (Advertising, Office Supplies,
Equipment, Licenses, Information Technology, Travel, Insurance, Meals) totaled $25,611.00,
thereby revealing that between salaries and other expenses, a total of $59,439.00 was spent on
items not appearing to be utilized toward any rehabilitative projects, as per the guidelines of the
CRA Plan. Kessler also noted that $0.00 in outgoing grants were listed on the CDCs 2009 IRS 990-
EZ form.
Additionally, research uncovered a document showing Main Streets budget for an unspecified year,
bearing the title High Springs Main Street Application, Proposed First Year Budget Summary
(Exhibit 23). This document reveals a pledge of $35,000.00 from the CRA Trust Fund, with a
subsequent breakdown of total budget expenses totaling $72,010.00. Examination of this
document shows expenses totaling $43,050.00 for the costs of Program Manager Salary and
Program Manager Benefits, with the remainder of the document listing administrative costs. The
only mention of funds potentially allocated towards redevelopment projects was in the form of
$5,000.00 for Project Moneythough after repeated requests, Kessler has not received any
documentation that could verify this. While this document details the inaugural budget for Main
Street prior to the scope of Kesslers investigation, the donation amounts from the CRA remain
44
consistently with the $30,000 to $35,000 range for the fiscal years of 2008 through 2010a figure
that matches the salary allotted for the program manager.
45
Main Street Hiatus
According to the Main Street website www.highspringsmainstreet.com, as of June 13, 2011 Main
Street requested to be recognized by Florida Main Street as an inactive program on hiatus effective
June 13, 2011 until a future date (Exhibit 24). The reasons listed for this hiatus mention a
challenge securing community support. Kessler also uncovered an article on the High Springs Blog
website, dated August 22, 2010, regarding the CRAs vote to discontinue the annual grant to the
CDC for Main Street (Exhibit 25). In the August 12, 2010 CRA Board Meeting minutes,
Commissioner Davis is listed as stating Not in favor of funding anymore, has given it enough time.
have to be careful of how we spend the money, some of what happened downtown is not all due to
Main Street. Another individual also expressed concerns over taking taxpayers dollars into a
organization they did not have any control over. These discussions reveal the reservations and
concerns over contributions and fund expensing that ultimately lead the CRA to discontinue
funding to Main Street.
46
Conflict of Interest
Kessler has identified multiple potential conflicts of interest involving personnel within the CRA
and CDC during fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
The first instance involves CRA Chair and CDC Board Member, Kirk Eppenstein. Kessler has
observed that Eppenstein is identified within the CRA Agenda Minutes as Chair from January 16,
2007 to August 28, 2008, and as a CDC Board Member in the CDCs 990-EZ forms for the years 2007
and 2008 (Exhibit 26). Agenda Minutes further reveal Eppenstein to be discussing, and voting for
funds allocated towards Main Street projects. Specific evidence of Eppenstein voting to grant
$35,000 in CRA funds as a donation to Main Street are observed in the agenda minutes of December
13, 2007. Within these minutes, the roll call indicates only four members present (Williams,
Coughlin, Travis, Eppenstein) with Gabriel being cited as absent. The absence of Gabriel remains
pertinent, as later in the minutes the eventual vote to approve the donation to the Main Street
Program in the amount of $35,000 is declared by Eppenstein as motion carried 4-0thereby
verifying the inclusion of Eppensteins vote. Kessler has observed that as this vote pertains to
matters of CRA funds being granted to the entity of Main Street/ CDC, Eppenstein is shown to be
partaking in a conflict of interest involving his position as CRA Chair (who is voting on the
allocation of CRA Funds) and the entity which is receiving them (of which he is a board member).
The second potential conflict of interest involves Kathy Pults (Pults), who is identified in the
CDCs 2008 IRS 990-EZ records as CDC Secretary. The conflict arises in the form of a Faade
Grant in the amount of $436.00 being awarded to Pults from the CDCthe corporation for whom
she is the secretary. The awarding of grant monies to officers within the entity is highly suspect.
Pults name arises again, this time within the CDCs IRS 990-EZ records for 2008, where Jericho
Mortgage is awarded a Faade Grant in the amount of $1,125.00. The address listed for Jericho
Mortgage is 90 North Main Street, the very same address listed for Pults in the CDCs 2007 990-EZ
forms. Kessler has observed that the CDC has awarded grant money to its own officers in two
consecutive years. As its income is largely comprised of CRA grant contributions, the awarding of
funds to officers appear self-serving, and not within the guidelines of the CRA Plan.
The third potential conflict of interest involves Lucie Regensdorf, who is identified within the CDCs
2009 IRS 990-EZ forms as President. In board minutes from October 29, 2009, mention is made of
47
a visit Florida (video). This video, located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLuEiO5GTbI,
was observed by Kessler, which noted heavy promotion and featuring of a Paul Regensdorf, co-
owner of Grady House Bed and Breakfasta business co-owned and operated with his wife, Lucie
Regensdorf (Exhibit 27). Within those same board minutes, Drumm states that, this was a project
from last year that the CRA fundednot only verifying that CRA funds were used for a video
advertisement (not designated as a rehabilitative activity within the CRA Plan), but that the CDC
President utilized this video to heavily advertise a business co-owned by her and her husband. This
activity appears highly questionable.

CRA Board Agenda Minutes: Main Street
Kessler again utilized its in-depth analysis of all provided CRA Board agenda minutes in order to
identify pertinent dialogue related to the projects, concerns, and CRA funds granted to Main
Street. These minutes provided Kessler with supplemental context to financial documents
provided (cancelled checks, purchase orders, invoices), as well as insight into the discussions
directly relating to the use of CRA funds. This particular section of minutes spans from October 29,
2009 through August 12, 2010, and primarily discusses issues of concern over Main Street
performance and management, questionable expenditures by Main Street via CRA funding, and the
consideration of eliminating CRA funding to Main Street.
CRA Agenda Minutes: October 29, 2009
Minutes from this meeting show Coughlin mentioning the issue of contributions to Main
Street in the form of doesn't want the organization to become complacent and think these
funds will be coming yearly and the city had financial restraints.
Discussion of Main Streets performance arise again via an unknown resident stating
concerns with the Main Street Performance, concern with hiring manager from outside area,
volunteers have quite [Sic] due to poor volunteer management, states a lot of merchants have
expressed displeasure with the program, farmers market was vibrant. In response to this
residents point, CRA Attorney, Thomas G. DePeter, referenced as Tom in the minutes,
reinforces the spending of CRA funds in specified redevelopment areas by saying we have
designated an area where the funds must be spent, with the focus on the downtown, the funds
available through the CRA must be spent in that area.
Further comments concerning the performance of Main Street were voiced by resident, Lys
Burden, as she states that she was shocked to learn the city had given management of the
farmers market to the main street without performance measures. Ms. Burden then went on
to comment on the future of Main Street, stating that if renewed next, needs to be
restructured on performance based [sic].
Minutes from this meeting note a discussion topic entitled, Discuss and Consider Long
Range Goals and Capital Improvements for The Life of the CRA. Under this topic, Marilyn
49
Vanover, President of the CDC, brought forth a list of potential projects to be considered by
the CRA, listed here:
Map of downtown merchants and historic houses to encourage visitors
Development of an historic museum
Advertising outside of the area to increase our eco-tourism trade; advertise in trade
magazine to encourage new business development
Annual River Festival
Faade grants to continue to improve the look of downtown High Springs
Funding to allow city staff and/ or a commissioner and Main Street Volunteer to
attend the quarterly and state meetings of the Main Street Program
Assist with the development of James Paul Park
The above list of proposed projects includes funding for maintenance, festivals, and
advertising. In response to this list of projects, Popoli is said to include these items in his
estimates. The use of CRA funds for festivals, advertising, and maintenance do not appear to
fall within the guidelines of Rehabilitation as delineated by the CRA Plan.
Minutes from the meeting on August 12, 2010 contain discussions involving the future of
Main Street. A main point of focus throughout the course of this meeting revolves around
the matter of whether to continue funding Main Street. In regards to this, Travis stated that
he is not in favor of funding anymore, while May appears to reaffirm this stance by noting
concern over taking taxpayers dollars into a [sic] organization they did not have any control
over. A motion was then made by May to not consider funding at this timeseconded by
Davis, carried 4-0 (with Travis voting no). These minutes reveal the ending of CRA funding
to Main Street due to concerns over the potential mismanagement of CRA contributions.
50
Grants to Other Entities
The CRA granted funds totaling $24,168.00 in fiscal year 2011 and $4,600.00 in fiscal year 2012 to
the following entities and/or individuals: High Springs Community Theatre; High Springs New
Century Womens Club, and Hugh A. Buie, Sr., as observed below:
CRA Fund Grants
Entity 2011 2012 Total
High Springs Community Theatre $ 8,900.00 $ 4,600.00 $ 13,500.00
High Springs New Century Women's Club 13,500.00 - $ 13,500.00
Hugh A. Buie, Sr. 1,768.00 - $ 1,768.00
Total Funds Contributed $ 24,168.00 $ 4,600.00 $ 28,768.00
A review of the documentation provided in support of these contributions revealed that grant
applications were not provided for all the entities that received funding. In response to our request
for all grant recipient applications, a City employee stated I have sent you all I have. I do not know if
there are additional applications in other departments.
51
High Springs New Century Womans Club
The CRA granted $13,500.00 to the High Springs New Century Womens Club on March 11, 2011
for renovations of the roof for the property located at 40 NW 1
st
Avenue in High Springs. It was
noted that discrepancies exist with the corporation name, which raises concern of whether the
funds are being contributed to the same entity. For example, the 2012 Not-For-Profit Corporation
Annual Report lists the name as Highs Springs New Century Womans Club, Inc. (Exhibit 28).
Kessler researched the entity and found that it is not listed as an IRS tax-exempt corporation.
The only documentation provided in support of $13,500.00 grant was a proposal from Mac Johnson
Roofing, Inc. detailing the construction work (Exhibit 29). Despite numerous requests, Kessler has
not been provided a grant application or final invoice showing the actual expensing of funds for the
project and therefore cannot verify that the funds were expended for such renovations.
High Springs New Century Woman's Club
52
High Springs Community Theater
The CRA granted a total of $13,500.00 to the High Springs Community Theatre. This is comprised
of $8,900.00 for fiscal year 2011 and $4,600.00 in 2012 (Exhibit 30). The reasons for the grant of
funds included expenses relating to the renovation of the High Springs Community Theatre. A
review of the documents provided showed that invoices for the work done were not provided.
The $8,900.00 for 2011 is comprised in part of $5,000.00 granted on October 31, 2010. The only
documentation provided relative to this portion of the grant was a City check-stub and a City
purchase order. Neither a grant application nor any documents delineating the use of the funds
were provided for this $5,000.00 grant, although requested several times.
53
Hugh A. Buie, Sr.
Kessler observed that the CRA granted a total of $1,768.00 to an individual named Hugh A. Buie, Sr.
(Buie), associated with 405 N. Main Street in fiscal year 2011 (Exhibit 31). The grants were for an
entrance sign to High Springs ($718.00), faade ($700.00), and additional cost for entrance sign
($350.00). Kessler noted that no documentation was provided to support the $350.00 granted to
Buie.
Kesslers analysis of the CDC/ Main Streets 990-EZ forms has revealed the use of the same address
(405 N. Main Street) listed by Buie as his business address in the CRA grant applications. Such
activity appears questionable due to the fact that Kessler has not received supporting
documentation for the expensing of these grants funds, despite numerous requests, as well as the
fact that the address in which the funds were allocated to matches that of the CDC/ Main Street.
Due to these factors, Kessler cant verify that CRA grant funds given to Buie were in fact utilized for
their intended purpose.

Contractual Services
The City is contracted with the CRA to provide administrative, legal, and maintenance services.
The amount charged to the Contractual Services COHS account is summarized by year as follows:
Contractual Services to City
FY Amount
2008 $ 75,000.00
2009 70,000.00
2010 70,000.00
2011 95,000.00
2012 (Partial) 95,000.00
Total $ 405,000.00
Kessler was provided with the supporting contracts for each fiscal year, with the exception of 2008
and 2009, as these documents were said to not exist for these years (Exhibit 32). The contracts
provided for 2010, 2011, and 2012, however; simply state the purpose of the contract and the
contract amount. Detailed information was not maintained by the City as to how the funds were
distributed, or which individuals received them. In response to our inquiry on this matter, a City
employee indicated that the payment of funds were allocated for the Commission, City Manager,
City Clerk, Finance and Public Works support, as well as to help contribute to overhead of those
departments.
In reference to this statement, Section 163.387 (6)(a), Florida Statutes, clearly states that Moneys
in the redevelopment trust fund may be expended from time to time for undertakings of a community
redevelopment agency as described in the community redevelopment plan for the following purposes,
including, but not limited to: Administrative and overhead expenses necessary or incidental to the
implementation of a community redevelopment plan adopted by the agencythough as mentioned
earlier, Kessler has received no detailed documentation as to how these amounts were determined.
Further reference of the contract between the City and CRA exists in the Independent Auditors
Management Letter to the City of High Springs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, as
well as for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011. The auditor noted that the City maintains a
contract with its blended component unit, The High Springs, Florida Community Redevelopment
Agency to provide administrative, legal and maintenance services. In these observations the auditor
55
noted that the contract was valued at a fixed amount determined several years ago based upon
employed time allocated to certain services. Due to the nature of this contract, as noted in these
observations, the Auditors Report recommends a proposed reassessment of these management
fees, stating, we recommend the City reconsider the contracted amount and services performed for
the coming years contract.
56
Review of Reporting Requirements
Annual Financial Reports
Kessler was provided with the Annual Financial Reports (AFR) of the City of High Springs for fiscal
years 2008 through 2011. The total revenues and expenditures of the CRA listed in this report
were compared against the Combining Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balances for Nonmajor Governmental Fundsas included in the audited financial statements of
the City. Kessler noted no discrepancies between the figures.
Special District Reporting
Kessler requested documentation relating to Special District reporting to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs as required by Chapter 189, Part XIII, Florida Statutes, Uniform Special District
Accountability Act of 1989. The form for 2008 was not provided, as a City employee stated that
we neglected to retain a copy of the form from 2008.
The forms provided identify the CRA as a dependent district. Section 189.403, Florida Statutes
defines a Dependent Special District as one that meets at least one of the following criteria (Exhibit
33):
The membership of its governing body is identical to that of the governing body of a single
county or a single municipality.
All members of its governing body are appointed by the governing body of a single county or a
single municipality.
During their unexpired terms, members of the special district's governing body are subject to
removal at will by the governing body of a single county or a single municipality.
The district has a budget that requires approval through an affirmative vote or can be vetoed
by the governing body of a single county or a single municipality.
Kessler has observed that the CRA appears to fit within the definition of a Dependent Special
District.
57
Report of Activities
Section 163.356(3)(c), Florida Statutes requires each CRA to file with its governing body, on or
before March 31 of each year, a report of its activities for the preceding fiscal year, which report shall
include a complete financial statement setting forth its assets, liabilities, income, and operating
expenses as of the end of such fiscal year (Exhibit 34). Requests for these reports were made to the
City, for which a response from a City employee stated I have sent you all the reports I have. The
budget reports, the audit reports and the financial reports. Beyond that I don't know if any additional
reports were done.
Under Section 163.356(3)(c), Florida Statutes, At the time of filing the report, the agency shall
publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the community a notice to the effect that such report
has been filed with the county or municipality and that the report is available for inspection during
business hours in the office of the clerk of the city or county commission and in the office of the
agency. Kessler requested the newspaper advertisements of the CRA regarding the notice of
availability of the Report of Activities, as required by Florida Statutes. A City employee responded t
Kesslers request by saying, I am unable to find any newspaper ads, I dont believe any were run.
58
Conclusion
Upon conclusion of this audit, Kessler has identified a noted trend of poor decision making
regarding the expending of CRA fundsas exhibited via the exploitation of funding by Main Street,
the CDC, and High Springs New Century Womans Club and the voluminous amount of questionable
expenditures identified by Kessler pertaining to various projects and non-rehabilitative expenses.
Kesslers analysis highlighted the lack of foresight, financial savvy, and proper record-keeping of
the CRA. It was revealed that the actions of the CRA have resulted in funds being inappropriately
expended and multiple conflicts of interest involving the funding provided to High Springs
rehabilitative agencies. Continued violation of both the Florida Statutes and CRA Plan regarding
actions deemed rehabilitative were seen being made on the part of the CRA. Instances such as
those involving Contract Connection, Inc., serve to reaffirm the financial disorder incurred by
sharing a bank account with the City, and stress the necessity of establishing a separate,
independent account for the CRA.
It is clear that stringent guidelines relative to record keeping, accounting and fund allocation need
to be implemented in order for the CRA to move forward successfully.

INTRODUCTION
Since its incorporation in 1884, High Springs, Florida has enjoyed
over a century of progressive development. Nineteen eighty-six promises
to be a year in which the community makes substantial moves toward
continuing and improving this admirable record of growth and vitality.
The creation of a Downtown Merchants Association to coordinate
revitalization and improvement of the commercial climate of the city was
an important step in this direction. Further progress was ensured by
the invitation to the University of Florida to assist in these redevel-
opment efforts. Supported by the Chamber of Commerce, this invitation
led to the signing of a contract between the University and the City of
High Springs for the preparation of a Redevelopment Plan. The comple-
tion of the Plan facillitates its adoption by the City before the end of
1986.
The Redevelopment Plan only attempts to do a few things at this
stage. It provides the basis for a 1987 Redevelopment Program and
related decision-making. The Plan introduces High Springs to the exten-
sive redevelopment p w ~ r s available under the relevant state statutes.
It also establishes realistic boundaries for the Redevelopment Area.
Finally, the Redevelopment Plan establishes the City Commission as the
Redevelopment Agency to oversee management of redevelopment efforts.
When adopted, the Plan will initiate the process of collecting tax
revenues for the financing of improvements in the Redevelopment Area.
Thus, much has been accomplished in 1986. With adoption of the
Redevelopment Plan, the City of High Springs can look towards 1987 with
confidence because the necessary tools for redevelopment will be in
place.

PURPOSES OF THE 1986 HIGH SPRINGS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
This plan has four objectives:
1. To show that the redevelopment area has problems and deficiences as
defined in Florida Statute 163.340.
2. To show that the study area is in need of rehabilitation, conserva-
tion, and redevelopment and to present strategies to effectively
maintain and improve the public health, safety, and welfare of High
Spring's residents.
3. To present a short-range development plan for the proposed study
area, which is designed to be consistent with the State Comprehensive
Plan of 1986.
4. To propose that the redevelopment agency of High p ~ i n g s be com-
posed of the members of the City Commission.

HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT
High Springs was first settled in when Fernando and
Mary Underwood settled at Crocket Spring. This spring was named after
Davy Crocket, the famous pioneer, and later became known as Santafee
because of its proximity to the Santa Fe River. Santafee was renamed
Orion in 1996 and in 1898 the present name of High Springs was adopted.
The town was incorporated in 1884, with W. L. Lynn the first mayor and
John Roland the first chief of police. The first store was opened by
Charles Slaughter in that year. In 1885, the first post office was
opened and the Baptist church was organized by E. B. Clark. George
Markey opened the first school house in 1886 and the bank of High
Springs was organized in 1903.
Today High Springs is the second largest city in the northwestern
section of Alachua County. It is strategically located on .three main
highways (U.S. 441, S.R. 41 and S.R. 27) and the Seaboard System
Railroad. The city has become an important railroad center in this
'section of the state due to its district maintenance terminal, where
genera 1 re.pa irs are made to ra i1 road equ i pment.
High Springs has a variety of church congregations including
Baptist, MethQdist, Presbyterian, Episcopal, and Church of God. The
community possesses pleasant residential sectors, a Chamber of Commerce
and several civic organizations. In addition, commercial activity in-
cludes institutions, retail stores, auto shops and antique
shops. High Springs is also surrounded by a rich agricultural region
and attractive natural areas.

REDEVELOPMENT AREA BOUNDARIES
For descriptive purposes, the Redevelopment Area can be viewed as
encompassing two tracts of land within the city of High Springs. The
northern boundary of the largest tract is the centerline of Santa Fe
Blvd.JU.S. 441. The western boundary is the centerline of the blocks
between N\aJ 3rd st. and N\'l 4th St. The southern boundary ;s the center-
line of the Seaboard System Railroad right-of-way. The eastern boundary
is a line parallel to and 100 feet to the east of NE 2nd St. The
smaller tract is bounded on the north by the centerline of the Seaboard
System Railroad right-of-way; on the west by a line parallel to and 100
feet to the west of SW 1st St.; on the south by a line parallel to and
100 feet to the south of SW and SE 2nd Ave.; and on the east by a line
parallel to and 100 feet to the east of SE 2nd St.
The Redevelopment Area boundaries are drawn through the middle of
blocks in most cases rather than down the ~ n t r of streets in order to
ensure the treatment of both sides of streets in a similar manner.
Streets can be viewed as outdoor rooms. Their sides are like walls and
as such should be treated alike during the redevelopment process.
The centerlines of Santa Fe Blvd.JU.S. 441 on the north and the
Railroad right-of-way west of 1st Ave. are used as boundaries because
they serve as clearly delineated barriers to pedestrian flow and/or
obvious borders between defferent land uses within the city.
It is the intention of this plan that any property which is partly
within the Redevelopment Area boundaries will be treated as if it was
completely within the Redevelopment Area.
The Redevelopment Area includes the traditional downtown commercial
development along N. Main St. and the south side of Santa Fe Blvd. The

DEFICIENCIES INDICATING THE NEED FOR A REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Redevelopment plans are designed to reach specific objectives
regarding the physical development of an area. Although the process
involves the establishment of community goals and objectives through
public input, the following is a summary of observations \'/hich were
noted during an independent survey of the proposed Redevelopment Area:
1. Lack of precise map of The project area lacks a
precise map showing lot lines, building locations, and streets rights-
of-way. Such a map would facilitate the buying and selling of land and
it would also serve as a valuable tool in the planning of future build-
ing development. The base map prepared for use in this plan is an
improvement, but a more precise map is necessary for later redevelopment
planning.
2. Erosion of mixed residential and historic fabric, particu-
larly in the Deteriorating buildings detract from the overall
aesthetic condition of High Springs. This is detrimental to
the city's business district. New residential development will serve to
increase the range of choices of housing types for low and moderate
income families. It will also as motivation to existing house-
holds to maintain or improve their houses. Due to the space limitations
and the nature of a CBD, it will encourage innovative design and con-
struction techniques to reduce the cost of housing.
3. Lack of physical and visual definition at major intersections
and ineffecient street arrangement. Specifically, the intersection at
Main Street and Railroad Avenue is not clearly defined. With increased
traffic and businesses, this intersection could potentially become very
13
confusing. Currently, Railroad Avenue is the name used to designate two
east/west streets passing through the downtown area. Both streets allow
two-way traffic flows and parking lanes as well. Railroad Avenue should
be converted into paired one-way streets, allowing the railroad tracks
to serve as a median between eastbound and westbound traffic.
4. Lack of good s i de\'Ja 1 k system and 1 andscapi n9.
Sidewalks and curbs have been allowed to deteriorate and they are now
eroded. Also, much of the caD structures were built without considera-
tion for the value of preserving existing trees or shrubs.
must be used to have an intense visual impact.
Landscaping
5. Parking. There is a need for a blending of parking spaces in
front of buildings into the street. Consideration should be given to
the visual impact of current parking situation. Existing street
parking is convenient to businesses but could be aesthetically improved
with tasteful landscaping. Additional parking should be provided to the
side or rear of buildings as the commercial viability of the
Redevelopment Area improves.
6. Lack of recreation plaza or market. The label
should mean something favorable to pe9ple by bringing to mind
an image of a specific and attractive place. It should provide a
friendly and relaxed atmosphere for patrons to interact. However, at
the present time there are no benches, or shaded quiet spots that will
encourage people to sit down, rest, talk, or simply enjoy the outdoors.
7. Inadequate and vacant buildings. Old and deteriorating struc-
tures, primarily a result of neglect, are in need of immediate improve-
ments. There are also several vacant and underused parcels. These

vacant and underused buildings and land parcels indicate that areas of
High Springs are not as compact and efficient as they have been in the
past. Constructive redevelopment will encourage new commercial activity
to locate on vacant sites in existing commercial areas and to renovate
vacant buildings as opposed to expansion into undeveloped portions of
the surrounding area.
16
.
.

Atypical as it may seem, High Springs' central business district is
still an active commercial center. The businesses serve the local area
as convenient sources of necessary goods. Small retail shops are uti-
lized for daily purchases. The majority of the stores are miscellaneous
retail stores like gift anq curiosity shops and personal service ori-
ented stores like barber and beauty shops. Consumers for High Springs'
businesses are primarily from the High Springs area. Because of its
proximity to Gainesville and its regional shopping mall, there are no
large department stores or shopping centers in the city which \'1ou)d be
neccessary to draw outside consumers for typical shopping goods. How-
ever, because of its proximity to tourist attractions like Ginnie
Springs, Q'l eno State Park, and the Fe and 1chetucknee Rivers, and
the fact that roads leading from 1-75 and Gainesville to these attrac-
tions go through High Springs, there is a market for tourist type goods
which could easily be capitalized on in High Springs.
There are three U.S. highways which run througn the Redevelopment
Area. U.S. 441 carries traffic between Lake City, Gainesville, Ocala,
and on to Orlando. U.S. 41 is another north /south route between Lake
City and Tampa. U.S. 27 is an east /west route which, when linked to
U.S. 441, carries traffic between Tallahassee and Gainesville. Although
1-75 and 1-10 have relieved much of the traffic from these routes, there
is still a fair amount of tourist traffic which, if stopped, could
provide potential consumers. Presently, there are a few businesses al-
ready capitalizing on these travelers.
Commercial expansion can also be supported by the anticipated
population growth of High Springs and the surrounding area. Although
17
.
High Springs population decreased between 1970 and 1980 from 2.767 to
2,491, the University of Floridals Bureau of Economic and Business
Research estimated the population to have increased by 129 by 1984. The
population in Alachua County has had average growth for the State of
Florida. Between 1970 and 1980 the population increased by 46,584 to
151,348. The 1984 estimate is 168,243, an 1ncrease of 16,895. Of this
increase, 6270 was a natural increase and 10,625 was due to migration.
This shows there is a fairly even distribution of ages, with people born
per year outnumbering those who have died, and the migration figure
shows the area is attractive to outsiders. The growth projections for
Alachua County are also very impressive for the future. By the year
2000, the population is expected to increase to 229,100, by 2010 it is
projected to be 260,600, and by 2020 tHe population is projected to grow
to 287,900. Although High Springs' population is not expected to
increase rapidly, the surrounding area does have a substantial popula-
tion gro\'Jth expectation. \Jith an increase in Alachua County's popula-
tion, the ammount of traffic going through High Springs to the recrea-
tional areas like the JlSprings" 'ilill also increase. This increase, as
stated before, can be turned into an increase in comsumers for the
Redevelopment Area's businesses.
Along with outside dollars, there is also consumer money to profit
from within High Springs. The average wage or salary income is approxi-
mately $17,000. There is also income recieved from self-employment,
farm self-employment, interest, dividends, net rental, social security,
and public assistance.
While the majority of businesses in the Redevelopment Area are
retail trades with a close second being services, (see table 2) employ-

The largest group of workers appears to be in the service industry
followed by the manufacturing industry with a lagging third being the
retail industry. These also are three of the top employers in Alachua
County and the State of Florida. Of these three, retail is the only
industry that is greatl y 10\'ler for Hi gh Spri ngs than for the state or
the county. However, this can be explained by the presance of the Oaks
Regional Shopping Mall only 20 miles away. Much of High Springs' retail
industry has been lost to the Gainesville area, though, with a dedicated
effort, it may be possible to retrieve some of these retail dollars by
attracting High Springs' shoppers back to businesses in the
Redevelopment Area.
Table 2 shows High Springs' population as 1.56% of Alachua
County's total population. Therefore, an equitable distribution of
businesses would allow for 1.56 of all businesses to be located in High
Springs. Since the Redevelopment Area contains the area's business
district, it was used for comparison purposes.

*1983 County Business Patterns and 1986 Student Survey of High Springs
Table 2 shows the area is low in.construction, manufacturing, and whole-
sale industries. However, there are a few construction and manufacturing
businesses located in the High Springs area but out of the Redevelopment
Area. Thus, the only industry where there is a deficiency is whole-
saling. The area has above its expected number of retail businesses.
20
1 I
When this category is broken into subgroups, it is discovered that the
area is above its expected number of businesses in all groups except
food stores and restaurants. These two are at their expected number and
below their expected number respectively. The finance and service
groups are both at their expected number of businesses. However, in the
service group, personal and recreational services seem to be higher t ~ n
expected. Table 2 shows that, for the most part, High Springs has the
correct number of businesses for a community with its population.

REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Land Use Plan. The 1986 plan accepts the adopted zoning regulations for
the area land use plan. The area between N.W. and N.E. First Streets is
zoned Commercial, Central Business District, which an:icipates
retail commercial outlets, convention centers and auditioriums, and
which forms the City's center for financial, commercial, governmental,
professional, cultural, and associated activities.
There are three areas zoned CG Commercial, General (see LAND USE
PLAN MAP), and they are designated for small scale retail and service
developments which serve the convenience needs of a general market area.
While some of the uses in the CG and CN Commercial, Neighborhood areas
are the same, CG areas are larger and greater in intensity. Most of the
Redevelopment Area is proposed for mixed use development, which suggests
that private residences and businesses may occupy the same block or
structure. This concept is supported through the CG zoning classifica-
tion which allows such service establishments as barber or beauty shops,
shoe repair shops, laundry or dry-cleaning operations, churches, commer-
cial recreational facilities, and retail outlets for the sale
of food, drugs, and hardware.
A strategy to encourage mixed use development in the study area
will provide many opportunities for small scale residential and commer-
cial development. Land developers, architects, private entrepenuers,
and city officials who participate in the decisions regarding the loca-
tion of commercial and residential buildings have the responsibility to
shape a city which is coherent and structured. For example, drive-in
businesses would be on locations along First Avenue, Santa
Fe Boulevard, and Railroad Avenue. Businesses which address leisure

activities such as home improvement, pet care, and music wouid t ~ well
located along Railroad Avenue.
Following is a description of the intent of the various zGning
districts which define the Redevelopment Area (see LAND USE PLAN MAP).
These definitions are taken from the 1981 City of High Springs Zoning
Regulations:
1.:. RSF :. Residential, Single Family. The "RSF" Residential, Single
Family category includes three zone districts: RSF-l, RSF-2, and RSF-3.
It is the intent of these districts to provide for conventional single
family areas of low to medium density together with public and semi-
public buildings and facilities and accessory structures as may be
desirable and compatible with such development, as well as surrounding
development.
.:. RMF.: Residential, Multiple Family. This category includes blo
zone districts; RMF-l and RMF-2. It is the intent of these districts
to provide for residential areas of medium and high density. These
zoning districts allow for a desirable variety of housing types together
with public and semi-public buildings and facilities and accessory
structures as may be compatible with residential development.
3. CG.: Commercial, General. The neG" Commercial, General
category includes one zone district: CG. This district is intended for
general retail commercial, office, and service activities which serve a
market area larger than a neighborhood. Businesses in this category
require locations convenient to automotive traffic, and ample off-
street parking is also required.
~ ~ : Commercial, Intensive. This category includes one zone
district: C!. This district is intended for intensive, highly
automotive-oriented uses that require a conspicuous and accessible loca-
24
\ . ,
, .
tion convenient to streets carrying large volumes of traffic. Such
activities generally require large land areas, do not cater directly in
appreciable degree to pedestrians, and require ample off-street parking
and off-street loading space.
C-CBD = Commercial, Central Business. The Central
District includes one zone district: C-CBD. This district is
applied only to that area which forms the City's center for financial,
commercial, governmental, professional, cultural, and associated activi-
ties.
ILW: Industrial, Light and Warehousing. This category includes
one zone district: ILW. This district is intended for light
manufacturing, processing, storage and warehousing, wholesaling, and
distribution. Institutional and residential uses are generally
prohibited as not in character with the activities conducted in this
district. Certain commercial uses relating to automotive and heavy
equipment sales and repair are but this district is not
deemed commercial in character.
1 : Industrial. This district, which includes one zone district
(I), is intended primarily for manufacturing and closely related uses.
It ;s intended to preserve land area for the functions of industrial
activity, wholesaling, warehousing, and distribution. Certain specified
commercial, residential, and institutional uses are permitted; however,
this district is not to be deemed commercial, residential, or institu-
tional in character.
Rehabilitation Policy. This redevelopment plan proposes that buildings
within the study area which are deficient but which can be rehabilitated
should be treated accordingly. A building should be adapted to serve a
25
, ,
different function if this is appropriate based on location. zoning
regulations, and demand. Community rehabilitation may be carried out
through private enterprise and/or the community redevelopment agency.
The agency can assist by advising the developer of sources of credit and
by assisting in the design of the following public improvements which
qualify the study area for redevelopment:
1. Sidewalks. Sidewalks within the study area are in need of curb
repair and need to be extended, for example, along N.W. First Avenue.
This will encourage an increase in pedestrian traffic within the CG and
CCBD areas.
2. Sewers. Lack of a city-wide sewage plan is a severe health
hazard for High Springs. Due to the inevitable contamination to the
water supply if a leak occurred in the septic system, the health of all
High Springs residents would be at risk. The redevelopment plan, there-
fore, proposes the installment of a sewer system. In accordance with
F.S. 163.370, the redevelopment agency has the power to install and
reconstruct utilities to eliminate unhealthful, unsanitary, or unsafe
conditions. Installation of a sewer system will help alleviate minor
roadside flooding and will dispel the bad reputation associated with
community-wide septic systems, which may be a retarding, or hindering,
factor in the growth, development, and improvement of High Springs.
3. Streets. Some roads in High Springs are unpaved and composed
of lime rock, which is a chemical substance that is hazardous to the
welfare and health of city residents. The redevelopment plan proposes
the paving of all such roads.
4. Lot Layout. Several blocks within the study area are composed
of irregularly shaped and small lot sizes. This hinders the development

of commercial activity due to inadequate acreage. One proposal to help
alleviate this problem is to remove lot lines in areas where an owner
owns on both sides of the property line. A redevelopment plan will help
develop a more equitable system for dividing or establishing parcels,
and this will help spur s m l ~ retail and commercial development.
5.Housing. The Redevelopment Area is composed of three residential
areas--none of which have elderly housing developments. Statute 163.340
charges the redevelopment agency with the authority to redevelop an area
in which there is a shortage of housing that is available to low or
moderate income fam;lies-Mincluding the elderly.
6.81ighted Areas. The block behind N.W. First Avenue and Main
Street contains building structures which by definition, constitute a
slum or blighted area. It constitutes, or represents, an economic and
social liability because it impairs or arrests sound growth.. This plan
proposes that such salvageable conditions be rehabilitated through
appropriate redevelopment action.
Land Acquisition Policy. This plan does not identify sites available
for acquisition by the redevelopment agency. The map illustrating
COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL OCCUPANCY sites denotes land available to indus-
trial and commercial development, which will reduce the need for
acquisition. If acquisition by the city or municipality becomes
necessary, conditions described in F.S. 163.360 must be met. Statute
163.360 describes the conditions and process' by which the city or
community redevelopment agency may sell, lease, dispose of, or otherwise
transfer real property for community redevelopment.

redevelopment plan enables the redevelopment agency to acquire sites for
resale to developers; however, this is unlikely to result in the
displacement of given the number of vacant parcels in the
Redevelopment Area. If a residential unit is acquired, however, reloca-
tion assistance and payments must be provided.
The redevelopment plan should stimulate more firms to locate in the
study area and should simultaneously create more job opportunities which
will increase housing options for low to moderate income residents.
Circulation Plan. The map VEHICULAR CIRCULATION illustrates
major thoroughfares and other streets and/or rights-of-way. Principal
highways which carry traffic through the city are U.S. 441 and State
Roads 27 and 41. Main Street is one of High Springs' most important
business streets, and it gives pedestrian, as well as vehicular, traffic
.access to shops and services. First Street and Santa Boulevard are
also major business streets within the Redevelopment Area.
High Springs Redevelopment Plan Conforms To City-Wide Plan.
The High Springs Redevelopment Plan ;s in agreement with the High
Springs Comprehensive Plan of 1980, and it also agrees with the Use
Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Both plans advocate additional
shopping opportunities and rehabilitation of older dwelling units. The
land use element of the Redevelopment Plan also conforms to the relevant
portions of the zoning code.
Membership of the Community Redevelopment Agency.
The Community Redevelopment Agency will be managed by a board made
up of the elected members of the City Commission.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
Tax increment financing is a method of funding a
community' 5 revitalization efforts using a portion of the
increased real estate tax revenues which the redevelopment
process itself generates.
Under tax increment financing, a city must first adopt a
redevelopment plan and establish a redevelopment district.
The county property appraiser then assigns a taxable value to
the real property located in the district. (This taxable
value is the assessed value of all real property in the
district less any tax exemptions as of January 1 st of the
y'ear in which the community adopts a redevelopment plan.)
The initial taxable property value assigned to the district
is important because it serves as a base from which future
yearly increases in the redevelopment distr-ict's :taxable
property values are calculated and money to fund
redevelopment will be generated.
As redevelopment efforts take place in the district,
taxable property values, in the district increase. These
increases in turn create greater tax revenues. A portion of
these greater tax revenues are allocated to the redevelopment
agency res pons ible for overseeing 'the communi ty I S
revitalization program. The portion is based on city' and,
33
,
.; \ -:t ,
........
county tax millage rates and the funds collected are u s ~ to
further redevelopment efforts in the district.
The greatest advantages of tax increment financing to
cities lie in the fact that 1) the process is relatively
Simple, 2) under the process a county in effect "pays" a city
for' itls redevelopment efforts, and 3) the process does not
affect other taxing authorities such as school districts,
water management districts, etc.
To better illustrate how tax increment financing works,
examples of the process follow. The first example is for
demonstrative purposes only and the second example utilizes
figures believed applicable to High Springs.
-Example 1 .
Any town U.S.A.
Any town adopts a redevelopment plan and establishes a
\
redevelopment district in October 1986. Any town decides to
use Tax Increment Financing to help find its redevelopment
efforts. The county property appraiser assigns a taxable
value to the real property located in Anytown1s redevelopment
district of $10,000,000 for 1986 the year of plan
adoption. Anytownts tax millage rate is 5 mills. The county
tax millage rate for the county in which Any town is located
is 1 0 mills for a total of 15 mills. As a result of
redevelopment efforts in 1987 the taxable value of real
property in Anytown1s redevelopment district increases by 10
34
percent to $11,000-,000. The firs t . years tax incremen t or
funds available to Anytownls redevelopment authority are
calculated as follows:
$11,000,000
-$10,000,000
$ 1,000,000
X.015
$ 15,000
(taxable value redevelopment district 1987)
(base taxable value redevelopment district
1986)
(increase in taxable value of redevelopment
district for 1st year)
(combined city and county millage rates)
(tax increment-funds available to Any towns
redevelopment authority in year 1)
In the next year, as a result of redevelopment, the taxable
value of real property in Any town I s redevelopment district
increases by 5 percent to $11,550,000. The second years tax
increment or funds available to Anytownfs redevelopment
authority are calculated as follows:
$11,550,000
-$10,000,000
$ 1,550,000
X.015
$ 23,250
(taxable value redevelopment district 1988)
(base taxable value redevelopment district
1986)
(increase in value' of redevelopment district
2nd year) .
(tax increment - funds available to Any town's
redevelopment authority in year 2)
Example 2
High Springs
High Springs adopts a redevelopment plan and establishes
a redevelopment district in November of 1986. High Springs
decides to use tax increment financing to help fund it IS
redevelopment efforts. The county property appraiser assigns
a taxable value to the real property located in High Springs
35
redevelopment district of $5,860,867 for 1986. 1 High
Springs' tax millage rate is 5.4610 mills. Alachua County's
tax millage rate is 8.5600 mills for a total of 1 4.0210
mills. As a result of redevelopment efforts in 1987 the
taxable value of real property in High Springs redevelopment
district increases by 5 percent to $6,153,910. The first
years tax increment or funds available to High Springs
redevelopment authority are calculated as follows:
$6,153,910
-$5,860,867
$ 293,043
X.0140210
$ 4,108
(taxable value High Springs redevelopment
district 1987)
(base taxable value High Springs redevelopment
district 1986)
(increase in taxable value. High . Springs
redevelopment district 1st year)
(tax increment funds available to High
Springs redevelopment authority in year 1)
In the next year I as a result of redevelopment I the
taxable value of real property in High p r i n g ~ redevelopment
district increases by 7 percent to $6,584,683. The second
years tax increment or funds available for redevelopment
would be calculated as follows:
$6,584,683
-$5,860,867
$ 723,816
X.0140210
$ 10,148
(taxable value High Springs redevelopment
district 1988)
(base taxable value High Springs redevelopment
district 1986)
( increase in taxable value High Springs
redevelopment district 2nd year)
(tax increment funds available to High
Springs redevelopment authority year 2)

Footnotes
This figure represents 75% of an estimated assessed
value of real property in the proposed High Springs
redevelopment district of $7,814,489. The 75% was used
to allow for tax exemptions wi thin the redevelopment
district. The $7,814,489 figure represents 33% of an
estimated total assessed value of real property in High
Springs for 1986 of $23,680,272. This $23,680,272'total

View Entire
Chapter
(1 )(a) After approval of a community redevelopment plan, there may be established for each
community redevelopment agency created under s. 163.356 a redevelopment trust fund. Funds
allocated to and deposited into this fund shall be used by the agency to finance or refinance any
community redevelopment it undertakes pursuant to the approved community redevelopment plan. No
community redevelopment agency may receive or spend any increment revenues pursuant to this section
unless and until the governing body has, by ordinance, created the trust fund and provided for the
funding of the redevelopment trust fund until the time certain set forth in the community
redevelopment plan as required by s. 163.362(10). Such ordinance may be adopted only after the
governing body has approved a community redevelopment plan. The annual funding of the
redevelopment trust fund shall be in an amount not less than that increment in the income, proceeds,
revenues, and funds of each taxing authority derived from or held in connection with the undertaking
and carrying out of community redevelopment under this part. Such increment shall be determined
annually and shall be that amount equal to 95 percent of the difference between:
1. The amount of ad valorem taxes levied each year by each taxing authority, exclusive of any
amount from any debt service millage, on taxable real property contained within the geographic
boundaries of a community redevelopment area; and
2. The amount of ad valorem taxes which would have been produced by the rate upon which the tax
is levied each year by or for each taxing authority, exclusive of any debt service millage, upon the total
of the assessed value of the taxable real property in the community redevelopment area as shown upon
the most recent assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of such property by each taxing
authority prior to the effective date of the ordinance providing for the funding of the trust fund.
However, the governing body of any county as defined in s. 125.011 (1) may, in the ordinance providing
for the funding of a trust fund established with respect to any community redevelopment area created
on or after July 1, 1994, determine that the amount to be funded by each taxing authority annually shall
be less than 95 percent of the difference between subparagraphs 1. and 2., but in no event shall such
amount be less than 50 percent of such difference.
(b )1. For any governing body that has not authorized by June 5, 2006, a study to consider whether a
finding of necessity resolution pursuant to s. 163.355 should be adopted, has not adopted a finding of
necessity resolution pursuant to s. 163.355 by March 31, 2007, has not adopted a community
redevelopment plan by June 7, 2007, and was not authorized to exercise community redevelopment
powers pursuant to a delegation of authority under s. 163.410 by a county that has adopted a home rule
______ 1 __ _ L _ L n
charter, the amount of tax increment to be contributed by any taxing authority shall be limited as
follows:
a. If a taxing authority imposes a millage rate that exceeds the millage rate imposed by the
governing body that created the trust fund, the amount of tax increment to be contributed by the taxing
authority imposing the higher millage rate shall be calculated using the millage rate imposed by the
governing body that created the trust fund. Nothing shall prohibit any taxing authority from voluntarily
contributing a tax increment at a higher rate for a period of time as specified by interlocal agreement
between the taxing authority and the community redevelopment agency.
b. At any time more than 24 years after the fiscal year in which a taxing authority made its first
contribution to a redevelopment trust fund, by resolution effective no sooner than the next fiscal year
and adopted by majority vote of the taxing authority's governing body at a public hearing held not less
than 30 or more than 45 days after written notice by registered mail to the community redevelopment
agency and published in a newspaper of general circulation in the redevelopment area, the taxing
authority may limit the amount of increment contributed by the taxing authority to the redevelopment
trust fund to the amount of increment the taxing authority was obligated to contribute to the
redevelopment trust fund in the fiscal year immediately preceding the adoption of such resolution, plus
any increase in the increment after the adoption of the resolution computed using the taxable values of
any area which is subject to an area reinvestment agreement. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"area reinvestment agreement" means an agreement between the community redevelopment agency
and a private party, with or without additional parties, which provides that the increment computed for
a specific area shall be reinvested in services or public or private projects, or both, including debt
service, supporting one or more projects consistent with the community redevelopment plan that is
identified in the agreement to be constructed within that area. Any such reinvestment agreement must
specify the estimated total amount of public investment necessary to provide the projects or services,
or both, including any applicable debt service. The contribution to the redevelopment trust fund of the
increase in the increment of any area that is subject to an area reinvestment agreement following the
passage of a resolution as provided in this sub-subparagraph shall cease when the amount specified in
the area reinvestment agreement as necessary to provide the projects or services, or both, including any
applicable debt service, has been invested.
2. For any community redevelopment agency that was not created pursuant to a delegation of
authority under s. 163.410 by a county that has adopted a home rule charter and that modifies its
adopted community redevelopment plan after October 1, 2006, in a manner that expands the
boundaries of the redevelopment area, the amount of increment to be contributed by any taxing
authority with respect to the expanded area shall be limited as set forth in sub-subparagraphs 1.a. and
b.
(2)(a) Except for the purpose of funding the trust fund pursuant to subsection (3), upon the adoption
of an ordinance providing for funding of the redevelopment trust fund as provided in this section, each
taxing authority shall, by January 1 of each year, appropriate to the trust fund for so long as any
indebtedness pledging increment revenues to the payment thereof is outstanding (but not to exceed 30
years) a sum that is no less than the increment as defined and determined in subsection (1) or paragraph
(3)(b) accruing to such taxing authority. If the community redevelopment plan is amended or modified
pursuant to s. 163.361 (1), each such taxing authority shall make the annual appropriation for a period
not to exceed 30 years after the date the governing body amends the plan but no later than 60 years
after the fiscal year in which the plan was initially approved or adopted. However, for any agency
created on or after July 1, 2002, each taxing authority shall make the annual appropriation for a period
L ~ ~ _ . I _____ .l ___ .... _ .... _ .'I Jr. J'1
not to exceed 40 years after the fiscal year in which the initial community redevelopment plan is
approved or adopted.
Page 3 of5
(b) Any taxing authority that does not pay the increment revenues to the trust fund by January 1
shall pay to the trust fund an amount equal to 5 percent of the amount of the increment revenues and
shall pay interest on the amount of the unpaid increment revenues equal to 1 percent for each month
the increment is outstanding, provided the agency may waive such penalty payments in whole or in part.
(c) The following public bodies or taxing authorities are exempt from paragraph (a):
1. A special district that levies ad valorem taxes on taxable real property in more than one county.
2. A special district for which the sole available source of revenue the district has the authority to
levy is ad valorem taxes at the time an ordinance is adopted under this section. However, revenues or
aid that may be dispensed or appropriated to a district as defined in s. 388.011 at the discretion of an
entity other than such district shall not be deemed available.
3. A library district, except a library district in a jurisdiction where the community redevelopment
agency had validated bonds as of April 30, 1984.
4. A neighborhood improvement district created under the Safe Neighborhoods Act.
5. A metropolitan transportation authority.
6. A water management district created under s. 373.069.
(d)1. A local governing body that creates a community redevelopment agency under s. 163.356 may
exempt from paragraph (a) a special district that levies ad valorem taxes within that community
redevelopment area. The local governing body may grant the exemption either in its sole discretion or in
response to the request of the special district. The local governing body must establish procedures by
which a special district may submit a written request to be exempted from paragraph (a).
2. In deciding whether to deny or grant a special district's request for exemption from paragraph
(a), the local governing body must consider:
a. Any additional revenue sources of the community redevelopment agency which could be used in
lieu of the special district's tax increment.
b. The fiscal and operational impact on the community redevelopment agency.
c. The fiscal and operational impact on the special district.
d. The benefit to the specific purpose for which the special district was created. The benefit to the
special district must be based on specific projects contained in the approved community redevelopment
plan for the designated community redevelopment area.
e. The impact of the exemption on incurred debt and whether such exemption will impair any
outstanding bonds that have pledged tax increment revenues to the repayment of the bonds.
f. The benefit of the activities of the special district to the approved community redevelopment
plan.
g. The benefit of the activities of the special district to the area of operation of the local governing
body that created the community redevelopment agency.
3. The local governing body must hold a public hearing on a special district's request for exemption
after public notice of the hearing is published in a newspaper having a general circulation in the county
or municipality that created the community redevelopment area. The notice must describe the time,
date, place, and purpose of the hearing and must identify generally the community redevelopment area
covered by the plan and the impact of the plan on the special district that requested the exemption.
4. If a local governing body grants an exemption to a special district under this paragraph, the local
governing body and the special district must enter into an interlocal agreement that establishes the
1
conditions of the exemption, including, but not limited to, the period of time for which the exemption is
granted.
5. If a local governing body denies a request for exemption by a special district, the local governing
body shall provide the special district with a written analysis specifying the rationale for such denial.
This written analysis must include, but is not limited to, the following information:
a. A separate, detailed examination of each consideration listed in subparagraph 2.
b. Specific examples of how the approved community redevelopment plan will benefit, and has
already benefited, the purpose for which the special district was created.
6. The decision to either deny or grant an exemption must be made by the local governing body
within 120 days after the date the written request was submitted to the local governing body pursuant
to the procedures established by such local governing body.
(3)(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (2), the obligation of the governing body which
established the community redevelopment agency to fund the redevelopment trust fund annually shall
continue until all loans, advances, and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, of a community
redevelopment agency incurred as a result of redevelopment in a community redevelopment area have
been paid.
(b) Alternate provisions contained in an interlocal agreement between a taxing authority and the
governing body that created the community redevelopment agency may supersede the provisions of this
section with respect to that taxing authority. The community redevelopment agency may be an
additional party to any such agreement.
(4) The revenue bonds and notes of every issue under this part are payable solely out of revenues
pledged to and received by a community redevelopment agency and deposited to its redevelopment
trust fund. The lien created by such bonds or notes shall not attach until the increment revenues
referred to herein are deposited in the redevelopment trust fund at the times, and to the extent that,
such increment revenues accrue. The holders of such bonds or notes have no right to require the
imposition of any tax or the establishment of any rate of taxation in order to obtain the amounts
necessary to pay and retire such bonds or notes.
(5) Revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this part shall not be deemed to constitute a debt,
liability, or obligation of the public body or the state or any political subdivision thereof, or a pledge of
the faith and credit of the public body or the state or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be
payable solely from the revenues provided therefor. All such revenue bonds shall contain on the face
thereof a statement to the effect that the agency shall not be obligated to pay the same or the interest
thereon except from the revenues of the community redevelopment agency held for that purpose and
that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the governing body or of the state or of any
political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of, or the interest on, such
bonds.
(6) Moneys in the redevelopment trust fund may be expended from time to time for undertakings of
a community redevelopment agency as described in the community redevelopment plan for the
following purposes, including, but not limited to:
(a) Administrative and overhead expenses necessary or incidental to the implementation of a
community redevelopment plan adopted by the agency.
(b) Expenses of redevelopment planning, surveys, and financial analysis, including the
reimbursement of the governing body or the community redevelopment agency for such expenses
incurred before the redevelopment plan was approved and adopted.
(c) The acquisition of real property in the redevelopment area.
n. 11 n. ''''' n .. '"
Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes: Online Sunshine Page 5 of5
(d) The clearance and preparation of any redevelopment area for redevelopment and relocation of
site occupants within or outside the community redevelopment area as provided in s. 163.370.
(e) The repayment of principal and interest or any redemption premium for loans, advances, bonds,
bond anticipation notes, and any other form of indebtedness.
(f) All expenses incidental to or connected with the issuance, sale, redemption, retirement, or
purchase of bonds, bond anticipation notes, or other form of indebtedness, including funding of any
reserve, redemption, or other fund or account provided for in the ordinance or resolution authorizing
such bonds, notes, or other form of indebtedness.
(g) The development of affordable housing within the community redevelopment area.
(h) The development of community policing innovations.
(7) On the last day of the fiscal year of the community redevelopment agency, any money which
remains in the trust fund after the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection (6) for such year shall
be:
(a) Returned to each taxing authority which paid the increment in the proportion that the amount of
the payment of such taxing authority bears to the total amount paid into the trust fund by all taxing
authorities for that year;
(b) Used to reduce the amount of any indebtedness to which increment revenues are pledged;
(c) Deposited into an escrow account for the purpose of later reducing any indebtedness to which
increment revenues are pledged; or
(d) Appropriated to a specific redevelopment project pursuant to an approved community
redevelopment plan which project will be completed within 3 years from the date of such appropriation.
(8) Each community redevelopment agency shall provide for an audit of the trust fund each fiscal
year and a report of such audit to be prepared by an independent certified public accountant or firm.
Such report shall describe the amount and source of deposits into, and the amount and purpose of
withdrawals from, the trust fund during such fiscal year and the amount of principal and interest paid
during such year on any indebtedness to which increment revenues are pledged and the remaining
amount of such indebtedness. The agency shall provide by registered mail a copy of the report to each
taxing authority.

View Entire Chapter
(1) Each municipality shall establish a fiscal year beginning October 1 of each year and ending
September 30 of the following year.
(2) The governing body of each municipality shall adopt a budget each fiscal year. The budget must
be adopted by ordinance or resolution unless otherwise specified in the respective municipality's
charter. The amount available from taxation and other sources, including balances brought forward from
prior fiscal years, must equal the total appropriations for expenditures and reserves. At a minimum, the
adopted budget must show for each fund, as required by law and sound financial practices, budgeted
revenues and expenditures by organizational unit which are at least at the level of detail required for
the annual financial report under s. 218.32(1). The adopted budget must regulate expenditures of the
municipality, and an officer of a municipal government may not expend or contract for expenditures in
any fiscal year except pursuant to the adopted budget.
(3) The tentative budget must be posted on the municipality's official website at least 2 days before
the budget hearing, held pursuant to s. 200.065 or other law, to consider such budget. The final adopted
budget must be posted on the municipality's official website within 30 days after adoption. If the
municipality does not operate an official website, the municipality must, within a reasonable period of
time as established by the county or counties in which the municipality is located, transmit the
tentative budget and final budget to the manager or administrator of such county or counties who shall
post the budgets on the county's website.
(4) The governing body of each municipality at any time within a fiscal year or within 60 days
following the end of the fiscal year may amend a budget for that year as follows:
(a) Appropriations for expenditures within a fund may be decreased or increased by motion recorded
in the minutes if the total appropriations of the fund is not changed.
(b) The governing body may establish procedures by which the designated budget officer may
authorize budget amendments if the total appropriations of the fund is not changed.
(c) If a budget amendment is required for a purpose not specifically authorized in paragraph (a) or
paragraph (b), the budget amendment must be adopted in the same manner as the original budget
unless otherwise specified in the municipality's charter.
(5) If the governing body of a municipality amends the budget pursuant to paragraph (4)(c), the
adopted amendment must be posted on the official website of the municipality within 5 days after
adoption. If the municipality does not operate an official website, the municipality must, within a
reasonable period of time as established by the county or counties in which the municipality is located,
transmit the adopted amendment to the manager or administrator of such county or counties who shall
post the adopted amendment on the county's website.

30-Sep-10
On December 14, 2006 Contract Connection sent a quote for bike racks, benches, trash cans and tree grates
as part of the downtown improvements being done with CRA funds. A purchase order was written up
to pay the contractor from the items. A check was cut on December 20, 2006. In May 2007 the products
were ordered from Contract Connection and installed. Contract Connection send invoice CCliNV0002617
dated May 1. 2007. The invoice did not note that the items were prepaid. Another payment was sent
on June 6,2007. When the duplicate payment was identified Contract Connection was contacted for a
refund. According to their finance department the money had been spent and they could only pay us
back in installments. They were to pay $5,000 a month for 10 months to pay monies back. They paid payments
from 7/2007 until 9/2007 and stopped. They were again contacted and notified that a balance remained and they
said they could not pay $5.000 but would pay $3,000 which they paid from 1/2008 until 3/2008 and again stopped.
Their finance department would not take or return our calls. The president, Todd Krohn, was contacted and he indicated
that they would pay as they could. No futher payments were received. It has now been determined that the
company is insolvent and there are multiple lawsuits against them for unpaid claims including wages to employees.
The balance due the City is $12.976 and it has been deemed uncollectible and needs to be written off.

Advisory Legal Opinion - AGO 91-49
Number: AGO 91-49
Date: July) 1, 1991
Subject: Community Redevelopment Agency
Mr. Frank S. Bartolone
City Attorney
City of Boca Raton
~ Print Version
RE: COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1969-MUNICIPALITIES-COUNTIES- governing body of municipality
or county must designate chairman and vice chairman of community redevelopment agency,
regardless of whether the governing body has appointed itself as the community redevelopment
agency. s. 163.357, F.S.
QUESTION:
In the event the city commission appoints itself as the Community Redevelopment Agency pursuant
to s. 163.357, F.S., does the mayor automatically become chairman of the agency or may the
commission as head of the agency appoint its own chairman?
SUMMARY:
A city commission declaring itself to be a Community Redevelopment Agency is a separate,
distinct and independent legal entity the chairman and vice chairman of which are designated by
the city commission.
The Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, Part III, Ch. 163, F.S., was enacted to enable
counties and municipalities to eliminate and prevent the development and spread of slums and
urban blight and to encourage community redevelopment. [1]
Section 163.356, F.S., authorizes a municipality to create a community redevelopment agency
when it finds that slum or blighted areas or areas with a shortage of affordable housing exist
in the municipality and that the rehabilitation, conservation or redevelopment of such areas is
necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, morals, or welfare of the
municipality's residents. [2] When the governing body of the municipality adopts a resolution
declaring the need for a community redevelopment agency, that body, by ordinance, must appoint
a board of not fewer than five or more than seven commissioners of the community redevelopment
agency. [3] The governing body of the municipality also must designate a chairman and vice
chairman from among the commissioners. [4]
As an alternative to appointment of a board of commissioners, the governing body may by
adoption of a resolution declare itself to be a community redevelopment agency. In such cases
all rights, powers, duties, privileges, and immunities vested by Part III, Ch. 163, F.S., in an
agency are vested in the governing body of the municipality. [5] Section 163.357(1) (b), F.S.,
provides:
"The members of the governing body shall be the members of the agency, but such members
constitute the head of a legal entity, separate, distinct, and independent from the governing
body of the county or municipality. If the governing body declares itself to be an agency which
aa
already exists, the new agency is subject to all of the responsibilities and liabilities
imposed or incurred by the existing agency." (e.s.)
Furthermore, a governing body consisting of five members may appoint two additional persons to
act as members of the agency. [6]
In AGO 84-74, this office concluded that a city commission was not authorized to alter the
composition of a community redevelopment agency or to increase or decrease the number or ratio
of its members, given the specific statutorily prescribed organization and powers of such
agencies. [7]
Likewise, the appointment of the chairman and vice chairman by the governing board of the
municipality is statutorily prescribed and may not be altered by ordinance. [8] I find no
provision in Part III, Ch. 163, F.S., which authorizes or otherwise empowers the automatic
assumption of the chairmanship by the mayor. Furthermore, the community redevelopment aqency
has not been granted the authority to appoint its chairman or vice chairman. [9]
Accordingly, it is my opinion that the city commission must designate the chairman and vice
chairman of the community redevelopment agency, regardless of whether the commission has
designated itself as the community redevelopment agency.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Butterworth
Attorney General

public officers to proceed in a particular way or only upon specific conditions implies a duty
not to proceed in any other manner than that which is authorized by law).
[8] See, City of Miami Beach v. Rocio Corp., 404 So.2d 1066, 1069-1070 (3 D.C.A. Fla., 1981),
petition for review denied, 408 So.2d 1092 (Fla. 1981) (municipal ordinances may not conflict
with state law).
[9] While a governing body may appoint itself as the community redevelopment agency and
designate the agency's chairman and vice chairman, the designation of the chairman and vice
chairman is done so in its capacity as the governing body of the municipality, not as the
community redevelopment agency.

Re: City of High Springs Grant Application
Dear Director Gaske:
The Community Redevelopment Agency of High Springs is pleased to offer its support
and endorses the submission by the City of High Springs, of an application to complete
the renovations of the old High Springs Elementary School. This process was initiated
with Grant SC515. The City plans to use the restored facility as a community center
which will include but is not limited to, offices, classrooms, craft areas and programs for
youth and senior citizens.
We believe this worthy project will be a tremendous asset to the City High Springs and
will provide an opportunity for growth, enhancement, and enrichment to our community.
This letter serves to support the expenditure of public funds for dedicated funding for this
renovation project.
Sincerely,
Kirk Eppenstein
Chair

Introduction
This 2008 update to the strategic plan for High Springs
Main Street was developed through a collaborative process
involving many High Springs stakeholders - board members,
staff, city government and community partners - and Nonprofit
Management Consulting, LLC. The goals and objectives
reflect the stakeholders' perceptions of High Springs Main
Street's most important challenges, opportunities and
responsibilities.
A useful strategic plan must be an evolving, living
document. Strategies develop and change constantly in
response to a changing environment. Objectives change
periodically as they are achieved or updated. An
organization's goals will change very gradually over a period
of many years, while its mission and vision will change only
rarely, if ever.
Because of the importance of change and evolution in
response to internal and external factors, this plan becomes
progressively more general as it addresses longer-term
objectives. While it is appropriate to have a very detailed
action plan for the objectives High Springs Main Street will
tackle in the next year, it would be counterproductive to
commit to a rigid long-term path without knowing what the
future will bring. New opportunities and new challenges will
require High Springs Main Street to remain flexible while
constantly adhering to its mission and goals.
This plan should be reviewed annually and updated or
revised as necessary to ensure that it keeps pace with
changing needs. As longer-term objectives move into focus,
they can easily be used to support more detailed work plans.
Objectives and strategies in this plan are categorized
according to the four points of the Main Street Approach:
Organization: Objectives 1A through 1 L
Economic Restructuring: Objectives 2A through 2K
Promotion: Objectives 3A through 3H
Design: Objectives 4A through 41
Usage Notes
Each Main Street committee will develop its goal statement
by July 31, 2008. Objectives and strategies should be
developed and refined with an eye to how they support each
committee's articulated goals. Objectives and strategies may
speak to more than one goal and fall under the purview of
more than one committee; in these cases, both committees
should take responsibility for developing their part of the action
plan and reporting on progress to the Board.
As each committee works with its list of objectives, it
should assign responsibility for each objective to a specific
person on the committee. Persons assigned "Lead
Responsibility" for each objective will not necessarily be the
actual implementers of the objective. Those with Lead
Responsibility should take an executive role in ensuring that
progress toward the objective remains on track and that the
implementation team is meeting performance deadlines and
providing ongoing reports to the Board of Directors.
As the Main Street committees develop their action plans
to support each objective, they will break objectives down into
smaller action steps and assign specific responsibility and
interim timelines to assure that the objective is achieved on
schedule.

1-A. Develop a Membership Recruitment Plan. Strategies to include:

and provides an easy way to join Main Street by mail. Do a bulk
mailing to all High Springs residents and businesses.

one friend or contact to encourage them to join Main Street. Keep
track of board contacts and offer a prize for the board member who
has recruited the most dues-paying members by the end of 2008.
Staff a membership booth at all MS events.

Speak at Homeowners Association meetings to recruit members.

n NOV l 9 2010 lUI
November 27, 2010
Dear Members of the Community Redevelopment Agency:
As part of Main Street's Economic Restructuring Committee, we have
been working with High Springs Yellow Bellied Slider Bicycling Society (YBS) to
help make High Springs a bicycle friendly community. The Yellow Belied
Sliders was formed to encourage resfdents and visitors to "have fun bicycling,
exploring and enjoying our wonderful small town and beautiful rural and
natural environments."
This vision of Main Street and YBS has come to fruition with the
upcoming Annual Spring Tour of Bike Florida March 26
th
to April 1
st
Bike
Florida is a week long, fully supported, bicycle camping tour that pedals along
Florida's scenic country roads visiting parks and natural wonders. The 2011
Spring Tour of "Florida's Eden" includes Gainesville, High Springs, Newberry
and Micanopy. Over 800 visitors are expected to be in High Springs with the
Bike Florida Tour on March 28
th
and 29
th
Some will be camping, some will be
staying in our local motels and bed 8: breakfasts and many will be eating out
and shopping at our local bustnesses.
In antfcipatfon of this wonderful event, Main Street has contacted a local
artist, Zenith Tech Industries, Inc., to design and create beautiful and
distinctive bike racks that can be placed around the City to provfde safe and
imaginative places for bicyclists to park their bikes. These racks will be useful,
not only for the Bike Florida Tour, but will assist Main Street and YBS with
their goals of making High Springs a bicycle-friendly community with a network
of routes, paved trails, woodland trails and plenty of bicyde parking.
Attached to this letter, is the artist's estimate for construction of three
bike racks which will be placed strategically around town by Main Street/YBS
volunteers. Main Street is requesting a grant of $4000.00 of eRA funds for the
I
purchase of the racks ($2700) plus $1300 for suppUes and other necessary items
to install the racks. With the support of the CRA, Main Street volunteers will
work with City Staff and local business owners to identify appropriate locations
for the bike racks. Once the locations are approved by City Staff, the Main
Street volunteers, who are fully insured to work on Ctty and private property,
will complete the installations. Also, there are at least two or three bike racks
that the C1ty owns that still need to be installed. Main Street volunteers will
complete the installation of those racks as a part of the grant, as well. In
addition to the funding, Main Street requests that the City waive any permit
fees necessitated by this project
Thank you for your consideration of our request.
Very truly yours,
President, Community Development Cor

The High Springs Main Street program requests to be recognized by Florida Main Street as an inactive program on hiatus
effective June 13, 2011 until a future date. While our decision was difficult to make, however, as a board, we realize that in
order for us to be successful many challenges must be overcome to take the next step.
As a new Board, we look forward to these future challenges to determine if our program can once again be as successful as it
has been in the past. We begin by inviting Ms. Jeanette Peters to our next board meeting to seek advice and direction. Ms.
Peters was initially the driving force for the High Spring's Main Street program and its past success.
We also realize that success comes only when the community you live supports you. At this time, it is one of our biggest
challenges. To build community support, we will focus on our umbrella program, the Community Development Corporation, and
its goals to begin restoring confidence with our local merchants and city government.
To ensure compliance with Main Street rules, we are in the process of changing our web and facebook page to no longer
advertise "Main Street" in our small community. It will be our Board's goal to ensure that when we are ready to resume our
commitment to the Florida and National program guidelines. the letter of agreement which incorporates Chapter 1-A-36 Florida
Main Street Program rules will be signed and the three year commitment for our community will be set on a course for success.
Best regards.

On Thursday, August 12th, while acting as the Community Development Agency (CRA)
of High Springs, the city commission voted 4-1 not to grant the Community
Development Corporation (CDC) it's request for additional funds to continue the Main
Street program.
Although the original five-year agreement where the City provided funding for five
years at a rate of $30,000 per year ended this year, the Main Street program requested
the additional funding for the FY2011 budget to help them meet their own financial
obligations. According to some estimates, although the Main Street program would not
completely shut down without the City's funds, it was expected to, at best, have to
reduce the program manager to a part-time position, dealing a significant blow to the
growing energy of the program.
I was one of the votes not to fund the
program based on interactions I have had
with the CDC and it's Board of Directors
during my tenure as the comission
appointed liaison to the group. This
liaison position was one where I served
both on the city commission and the CDC
Board. I found a serious lack of oversight
and and unwillingness to work under the
commission's direction and felt it
warranted a serious look at our future
financial contributions to the group.

While I wish Main Street well, I cannot in good conciseness vote to approve taxpayer
dollars to fund a group that will not allow any oversight by the commission to ensure
our money is being well spent. I truly had high hopes for the program since filling the
liaison position this past February, even going as far as to help the CDC Board of
Directors in their application to the City for funding. Unfortunately, the Board was not
able to make the substantive changes I had hoped for and thus they received a nay vote
from me to continue funding the program.
During the meeting I quoted statements made in the August 2010 edition of the
Observer by the CDC President Lucie Regensdorf as a perfect example of why the group

Page 1 of4
8/20/2012
High Springs Main Street Loses eRA Grant I High Springs Blog
should not receive taxpayer money. She said that Main Street "should not be political
and subject to the whim of commissioners who come and go". I stated during the CRA
meeting that, to me, a statement like that in and of itself exemplifies the CDC Board will
continue to use the taxpayer's money, if granted, however they choose, regardless of
what the commission-who is the caretaker of the people's money-desires. I asked for
anyone in the room, which was filled "ith other CDC Board members and many Main
Street supporters, to refute that statement and come forward with a different prevailing
ideology of the CDC Board. No one responded.
I went on to ask how I was supposed to continue to fund a group that has repeatedly
declared itself opposed to the direction of the current city commission and why I should
fund an operation that would continue to operate cross-grain to the policies established
by the city commission.
I made the motion to deny the request made by the CDC for $30,000 to continue to
fund the Main Street program. The motion received a second and passed on a 4-1 vote.
The lone vote to keep the funding was by Commissioner Larry Travis.
Also of note, because the City effectively ended it's public-private partnership \ ..ith the
program with the vote, I felt my position as the commission liaison was no longer
warranted, and effective August 16, resigned my position from the CDC Board.
The Observer article goes on to state that the CDC President she finds it ironic that two
commissioners who ran on platforms of less government were the ones asking for more
City oversight. Let me be clear; my voting record and my words will completely back up
that I believe in increased private property rights, less taxes, and overall less
government when it comes to private citizens and private business.
If your organization was self-sufficient and operated without public money, then you
can enjoy conducting business just as any other, free from any increased City oversight.
But when your organization comes to me asking for taxpayer money you better believe
I am going to ask for some oversight of how the people's money is going to be spent.
That's not bigger government.
That's more accountable government.

SPECIAL DISTRICTS: GENERAL
PROVISIONS
189.403 Definitions.-As used in this chapter, the term:
page 1 01 L
View Entire
Chapter
(1) "Special district" means a local unit of special purpose, as opposed to general-purpose,
government within a limited boundary, created by general law, special act, local ordinance, or by rule
of the Governor and Cabinet. The special purpose or purposes of special districts are implemented by
specialized functions and related prescribed powers. For the purpose of s. 196.199(1), special districts
shall be treated as municipalities. The term does not include a school district, a community college
district, a special improvement district created pursuant to s. 285.17, a municipal service taxing or
benefit unit as specified in s. 125.01, or a board which provides electrical service and which is a political
subdivision of a municipality or is part of a municipality.
(2) "Dependent special district" means a special district that meets at least one of the following
criteria:
(a) The membership of its governing body is identical to that of the governing body of a single
county or a single municipality.
(b) All members of its governing body are appointed by the governing body of a single county or a
single municipality.
(c) During their unexpired terms, members of the special district's governing body are subject to
removal at will by the governing body of a single county or a single municipality.
(d) The district has a budget that requires approval through an affirmative vote or can be vetoed by
the governing body of a single county or a single municipality.
This subsection is for purposes of definition only. Nothing in this subsection confers additional authority
upon local governments not otherwise authorized by the provisions of the special acts or general acts of
local application creating each special district, as amended.
(3) "Independent special district" means a special district that is not a dependent special district as
defined in subsection (2). A district that includes more than one county is an independent special
district unless the district lies wholly within the boundaries of a single municipality.
(4) "Department" means the Department of Economic Opportunity.
(5) "Local governing authority" means the governing body of a unit of local generalpurpose
government. However, if the special district is a political subdivision of a municipality, "local governing
authority" means the municipality.
(6) "Water management district" for purposes of this chapter means a special taxing district which is
a regional water management district created and operated pursuant to chapter 373 or chapter 61-691,
Laws of Florida, or a flood control district created and operated pursuant to chapter 25270, Laws of
Florida, 1949, as modified by s. 373.149.

transportation facilities, sanitary sewer facilities, solid waste facilities, water management and control
facilities, potable water facilities, alternative water systems, educational facilities, parks and
recreational facilities, health systems and facilities, and, except for spoil disposal by those ports listed

Chapter 163
INTERGOVERNMENTAL
PROGRAMS
163.356 Creation of community redevelopment agency.-
1 at:;'" 1 V1
View Entire
Chapter
(1) Upon a finding of necessity as set forth in s. 163.355, and upon a further finding that there is a
need for a community redevelopment agency to function in the county or municipality to carry out the
community redevelopment purposes of this part, any county or municipality may create a public body
corporate and politic to be known as a "community redevelopment agency." A charter county having a
population less than or equal to 1.6 million may create, by a vote of at least a majority plus one of the
entire governing body of the charter county, more than one community redevelopment agency. Each
such agency shall be constituted as a public instrumentality, and the exercise by a community
redevelopment agency of the powers conferred by this part shall be deemed and held to be the
performance of an essential public function. Community redevelopment agencies of a county have the
power to function within the corporate limits of a municipality only as, if, and when the governing body
of the municipality has by resolution concurred in the community redevelopment plan or plans proposed
by the governing body of the county.
(2) When the governing body adopts a resolution declaring the need for a community redevelopment
agency, that body shall, by ordinance, appoint a board of commissioners of the community
redevelopment agency, which shall consist of not fewer than five or more than nine commissioners. The
terms of office of the commissioners shall be for 4 years, except that three of the members first
appointed shall be designated to serve terms of 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively, from the date of their
appointments, and all other members shall be designated to serve for terms of 4 years from the date of
their appointments. A vacancy occurring during a term shall be filled for the unexpired term. As
provided in an interlocal agreement between the governing body that created the agency and one or
more taxing authorities, one or more members of the board of commissioners of the agency may be
representatives of a taxing authority, including members of that taxing authority's governing body,
whose membership on the board of commissioners of the agency would be considered an additional duty
of office as a member of the taxing authority governing body.
(3 )(a) A commissioner shall receive no compensation for services, but is entitled to the necessary
expenses, including travel expenses, incurred in the discharge of duties. Each commissioner shall hold
office until his or her successor has been appointed and has qualified. A certificate of the appointment
or reappointment of any commissioner shall be filed with the clerk of the county or municipality, and
such certificate is conclusive evidence of the due and proper appointment of such commissioner.
(b) The powers of a community redevelopment agency shall be exercised by the commissioners
thereof. A majority of the commissioners constitutes a quorum for the purpose of conducting business
and exercising the powers of the agency and for all other purposes. Action may be taken by the agency
upon a vote of a majority of the commissioners present, unless in any case the bylaws require a larger

number. Any person may be appointed as commissioner if he or she resides or is engaged in business,
which means owning a business, practicing a profession, or performing a service for compensation, or
serving as an officer or director of a corporation or other business entity so engaged, within the area of
operation of the agency, which shall be coterminous with the area of operation of the county or
municipality, and is otherwise eligible for such appointment under this part.
(c) The governing body of the county or municipality shall designate a chair and vice chair from
among the commissioners. An agency may employ an executive director, technical experts, and such
other agents and employees, permanent and temporary, as it requires, and determine their
qualifications, duties, and compensation. For such legal service as it requires, an agency may employ or
retain its own counsel and legal staff. An agency authorized to transact business and exercise powers
under this part shall file with the governing body, on or before March 31 of each year, a report of its
activities for the preceding fiscal year, which report shall include a complete financial statement setting
forth its assets, liabilities, income, and operating expenses as of the end of such fiscal year. At the time
of filing the report, the agency shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the community a
notice to the effect that such report has been filed with the county or municipality and that the report
is available for inspection during business hours in the office of the clerk of the city or county
commission and in the office of the agency.
(d) At any time after the creation of a community redevelopment agency, the governing body of the
county or municipality may appropriate to the agency such amounts as the governing body deems
necessary for the administrative expenses and overhead of the agency, including the development and
implementation of community policing innovations.
(4) The governing body may remove a commissioner for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or misconduct
in office only after a hearing and only if he or she has been given a copy of the charges at least 10 days
prior to such hearing and has had an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel.
