CRA approves $8,150 match for Historic Saint Andrews Waterfront Partnership, asks staff to standardize contracts
Summary
The CRA approved an $8,150 matching donation to the Historic Saint Andrews Waterfront Partnership and directed staff to standardize contracts for city facility stewards, with both measures passing 5-0.
The Panama City CRA approved a matching donation of $8,150 to the Historic Saint Andrews Waterfront Partnership on Aug. 4 and then instructed staff to standardize contracts for nonprofit stewards of city-owned facilities.
Board members described the Waterfront Partnerships work operating the museum, running the farmers market, coordinating volunteers for the Christmas display and educating schoolchildren; one member urged making matching funds contingent on organizations demonstrating donor-raising efforts. After voting to approve the match, a follow-up motion directing staff to bring standardized contracts for groups stewarding city facilities also passed unanimously.
Supporters said formalized contracts would clarify services the nonprofits provide in exchange for CRA support; the board discussed aligning Waterfront Partnership agreements with those used by the Center for the Arts and Downtown Improvement Board.
