Board approves revised interlocal with Melbourne for Eau Gallie parking garage; residents voice transparency and ethics concerns
Summary
The county approved a revised interlocal agreement with the City of Melbourne and the Old Oakley Riverfront CRA to fund public parking in Eau Gallie. City staff said the CRA/city contribution would cover a 300-space garage (construction estimate ~$10.5M, $12.075M including ancillary costs); some public speakers raised transparency and potential conflicts of interest, including an allegation about a mayor-developer relationship.
The Brevard County Board of County Commissioners voted to approve a revised and restated interlocal agreement with the City of Melbourne and the Old Oakley Riverfront Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for a downtown Eau Gallie parking garage project.
City Manager Jenny Lam described the agreement and said an independent analysis estimated construction of a 300-space garage at about $10.5 million, with ancillary and professional costs bringing the capital contribution to approximately $12,075,000. She said the agreement either supports a city/CRA-built 300-space garage or allows the option to pursue a larger shared public-private partnership for a bigger garage.
