ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
Last year Congress appropriated $30 million to address the urgent preservation needs of the nation's
most significant historic sites and collections through the National Park Service's Save America's
Treasures program. This year's appropriation has earmarked $15 million for previously selected
preservation projects nationwide, with the remaining $15 million available in federal grants for
nationally significant projects that are endangered or threatened.
Old City Hall is an official project of Save America's Treasures and has been in renovation since
1995, funded by the City and the Florida Department of State. In order to preserve existing and
future renovations, there is an urgent need to replace Old City Hall's window assemblies and to
repair the facade and roof prior to peak hurricane season. Old City Hall receives the full impact of
every storm to hit the southeast coast.
The Save America's Treasures program normally requires a dollar for dollar match from funds that
have not been expended prior to the award of a Save America's Treasures grant. Because of the
urgency of the Old City Hall renovation project, the City will ask that this requirement be met by the
amount that has already been invested in our project. If this is approved, then the City will not be
required to contribute additional funds upon receiving a grant. If not approved, then the City will be
ineligible to receive a grant award.
