Commission Briefing on the P3 Marina Development Project for the Lake Park Harbor Marina Town Manager D’Agostino provided a summary of the item. Mr. Don Delaney, President of SDI provided a summary of the quarterly report by the P3 Partners. Mr. Larry Zabick, Project Manager for Forest Development provided a presentation outlining the progress as it relates to the critical path of the project (Exhibit A). Mr. Delaney expanded on the progress that had been made with the critical path and what steps are currently being undertaken and stated that they are in full compliance. Mr. Delaney suggested that the Marina operations negotiations be moved up to start in March and believes that the Town Manager should take the lead and work with Forest Development to handle the operations management and personnel. Town Manager D’Agostino asked if the operations concerns would need to be resolved prior to Forest Development writing their check. Mr. Delaney stated that no, they do not. Town Attorney Baird clarified that personnel falls under the Town Manager’s authority. He stated that in order to move this component up, a change would have to be made to the comprehensive agreement to change the critical path. Mr. Delaney stated that he believes that those changes are allowable every 90 days. Town Attorney Baird disagreed. Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro stated that the dates in the critical path are due dates which tasks must be completed by, but she does not believe there is any reason those tasks could not begin earlier as long as they were completed by the due date. Town Attorney Baird stated that he agreed with that. He also asked about the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) discussions and reversionary clauses and if DEP legal staff had been involved. Mr. Delaney said he didn’t think so. Mr. Delaney again requested the Town to start early with the Marina negotiations. Forest Development representative Peter Baytarian stated that they are happy with progress and have received favorable information back from DEP.  Exhibit A LAKE PARK MARINA P3 QUARTERLY UPDATE FOREST DEVELOPMENT FEBRUARY 21, 2024 OVERVIEW – KEY ACTIVITIES • First lease complete – Hotel component lease (template) approved. • PUD plan being staffed. • Forest Development and the Town of Lake Park DEP coordination underway. • Marina resiliency planning underway. • Updated Gantt Chart. • Annotated Exhibit B. UPCOMING KEY EVENTS • PUD comment response to staff next week. • Town of Lake Park Planning & Zoning Board Review – April 2024. • Town of Lake Park Commission Review and Approval – May 2024. • Hotel/Boat Storage site plan submission – July 2024. • Boat Storage and Restaurant ground lease approval – March 2024. • Marina lease and operating agreement being prepared. • Questions & Answers
