Resolution amending the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP3) Budget to
include census tract 821; increasing the multi-family housing strategy and agreement
with the Housing Authority by $73,706; decreasing the single-family strategy by
$73,706 and the number of single-family units from two to one; and adding any
remaining budget balance and contingency to the multi-family strategy. These actions
will ensure all funds are expended and NSP goals are met by the March 10, 2014
deadline. The total available to the Housing Authority under the multi-family housing
strategy for the construction, rental and management of seven (7) multi-family housing
units will subsequently be $913,560; and the amount available for the single-family
housing strategy will subsequently be $101,294. As a Sub-grantee, the City must
document the expenditure of all NSP funds and occupancy of all housing units created
using such funds by March 10, 2014. Two single-family units were to be created but
only one bank owned single-family unit could be acquired per the program
requirements for the purchase price to be at least one percent below the appraised value.
Renovation has already started and occupancy is expected to occur in early March 2014.

radios to the industry standard digital format. The purchase includes the radios, all
hardware, programming and encryption necessary to immediately place the radios into
service and a factory authorized extension of the one year manufacturer's warranty to a
two year warranty. A trade-in program will allow the City of Daytona Beach to receive
$250 off each new P7350 purchase with the trade-in of each operational, obsolete MLK

Item 7A - Daytona Beach Racing & Recreational Facilities District - Grant Submission and
Acceptance (pp. 11-14)
Resolution authorizing the submission of a grant application to the Daytona Beach
Racing and Recreation Facilities District (Racing & Rec.), in the amount of $412,500
for improvements to the Municipal Stadium; and authorizing acceptance of the funds if
approved. The City’s proposed project is installation of new lighting system and
scoreboard at a total cost of $675,000. The City’s request would be $412,500 with the
remainder of the project being funded by the City. The current lighting system at the
Municipal Stadium is more than 25 years old. The standard for televising night games is
100 foot candles and the latest lighting evaluation reports the stadium is at 19 foot
candles. Furthermore, the existing lighting structures have needed repairs due to wind
damage from the 2004 hurricanes. City funding totaling $112,500 and Racing & Rec.
funding totaling $112,500 for a total cost of new lighting in the amount $225,000.
In addition a LED video display system scoreboard would greatly add to the spectator
and participant experience at the Municipal Stadium. This improvement would also
provide the City with a revenue generating opportunity. City funding totaling $150,000,
Racing & Rec. funding totaling $185,000 and sponsorships in the amount of $115,000
(already secured from Pepsi Bottling Co.) for a total cost of the new scoreboard in the
amount of $450,000. These upgrades will provide an immediate benefit to local high
school and Bethune–Cookman University football teams that utilize the stadium.
Opportunities to expand use of the stadium facility will be also created with these
enhancements. Funds available in the General Fund.
