Fort Lauderdale City Commission · City Commission Conference Meeting on 2026-03-03 1:30 PM - Mar 03, 2026 · 3 Mar 2026 meeting

SO WE'RE VERY SUPPORTIVE.

THE NORTHEAST FIRST STREET BRIDGE.

CAN YOU SHARE, BEN?

SO ONCE WE HAVE THAT CLARIFICATION, WE CAN INFORM THE COMMISSION, BUT IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT WE WILL HAVE TO STREAMLINE OUR REQUESTS AND ANTICIPATE THAT WE MAY NOT BE VERY SUCCESSFUL CONSIDERING PAST TRENDS.

So my understanding is that the Y has been able to secure $53 million in funding, and so I believe that the project is fully funded and that the $3 million would be used to leverage the funding that they've been able to secure.

I believe that if we are required to serve as the lead applicant, I think that the Y is seeking support from the commission in order to do so.

CORRECT.

AND THE CITY IS CONTRIBUTING $2 MILLION TOWARD THE POOL.

So my understanding, and the way that the city utilizes grant funding as well, is that potentially projects are fully funded, but if we are able to secure external grant funding, then that offsets the cost that the city would have for projects.

And I believe that is the same model that the YMCA is looking to utilize.

We have Laura Reese, Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

She will later be joined by Kevin Polito, Director of Strategic Communications.

And I just want to share, Commissioner, that we will be focused on education and not advocacy.

So everything is just about making sure that our neighbors understand the facts.

SO WE HAVE BEEN TRACKING THE VARIOUS PROPOSALS.

WE'VE RECEIVED INFORMATION THROUGH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE.

OUR BUDGET TEAM HAS BEEN RUNNING VARIOUS SCENARIOS, SO IT COULD REALLY RANGE.

I'M GOING TO ASK YVETTE TO SHARE WHAT THAT RANGE IS.

WHILE SHE'S COMING UP, I DO WANT TO SHARE THAT OUR MINDSET IS DEFINITELY GEARED TOWARD, YOU KNOW, THAT ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.

YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T PREDICT
