Editor Note: Ligaya Jareta Oliveros shared this important comment on our Facebook page, and it is worthy of re-posting here:
‘Orange Memorial Park and the Miller Avenue Parking garage are being pledged. These 2 properties can be foreclosed if the City defaults on the bonds. Annual $3 million debt service payments on the bonds will come from the lease payments. It would be helpful if the report and the documents reflect what the estimated lease payments will be and if the payments can support the bond debt service.’

The community needs to be aware of this important meeting because government OVERREACH WILL BE ON DISPLAY @ Feb. 12, 2020 meeting @ 7pm. Arrive early @ 6pm. Look for item 5

The Civic Campus has no funding. IT IS ESTIMATED TO COST UPWARDS OF $210.800 M.
The sales tax the city collected in 2016, was approved by the voters as a GENERAL TAX in 2015, not A SPECIFIC Tax requiring 2/3 passage, that it did not receive ( only 59%) . . The city, is scrambling to keep THEIR SIGNATURE Project funded, voted themselves the authority as board of directors, AND formed THE city of SSF Public Facilities
FInancing AUTHORITY. Council gave themselves the right to issue lease revenue bonds series 2020A to fund the Civic Campus. They chose this path over asking the voters and putting it on a ballot for the 2/3 required, BECAUSE THEY FEARED it would /will not PASS.(rightly so)

The authority they have is the ability to lease Orange Park for 73M. & the parking garage on Miller, worth 13M. These 2 parcels ARE to pay off the bonds.
The public has no idea how much it is going to cost for how long. Public records give no numbers dates, or signatures.
The public is kept in the dark.

THE City cannot use the sales tax rev enue for the Civic Campus and have PLEDGED NOT TO Even as it goes in the General Fund.

Question is : they have used 14M OF the collected tax. Are they going to pay it back?

The City must be held accountable.

Come to the meeting show up ask questions, it’s your city, money, your right to demand transparency.
