Summary

The commission agreed by consensus to extend an exclusivity agreement with consultant/developer G3C2 for two months; city attorney said the Community Redevelopment Agency must execute the extension in writing.

EUSTIS, Fla. — Commissioners signaled a majority consensus on April 5 to extend an existing exclusivity agreement with G3C2 (the developer/consultant team working on the Waterman parcels) for two months so the team can finalize proposals. The extension is time‑limited and commissioners said the contract will not be extended beyond the agreed period without further commission review.

City Attorney advised the commission that any extension written by the city will require formal action by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) because the original agreement is administered through the CRA; staff confirmed they will communicate with the CRA and return with the required extension language for formal approval.

Commissioners emphasized they remain open to other proposals but said they wanted to give G3C2 additional time because the firm has been working with the city on the project for months and had its process delayed by the staff/commission review cycle. The extension was described during the workshop as an administrative scheduling action; there was no roll‑call vote recorded in the workshop itself.
