20260806 COW Detail Agenda (2)
The document is a Committee of the Whole Workshop agenda for the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners meeting on August 6, 2026, focused on the Pensacola Bay Center. The recommended path forward includes extending the current Management Agreement with Legends, using all 5 TDT Pennies as eligible funding, and proceeding with a phased development plan. Phase 1 involves PBC Improvements at $71M (2025 dollars), Phase 2 is a new Event Center (~105,000 SF) at $84.4M, Phase 3 offers two options: a 1,300-1,500 space parking garage ($33-52.5M) or an NHL Size Ice Rink ($29.8M), and Phase 4 is the unselected Phase 3 option. The document notes key considerations including cost estimates in 2025 dollars, a $5M decrease in deferred maintenance estimates, and potential impacts from Property Tax Relief if approved by voters in November 2026. The management agreement with SMG (Legends) expires 9/30/2027 with an additional 3-year extension available through 9/30/2030. The lease with the City of Pensacola expires 9/30/2078, and material changes require prior written approval from the City and FDOT. The document also discusses property issues including the deletion of the FDOT off-ramp to Gregory St., parking needs related to PEDC and Crowne Plaza, and a proposed Interlocal Agreement approved by County legal on 6/15/2026. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.

B. Board Discussion
This item concerns potential legislative changes impacting local governments and property taxes. Specifically, a House bill that would eliminate non-school homestead property taxes is under review, with a requirement that local governments maintain public safety budgets. This proposal, if passed by voters, could significantly alter local government revenue streams. The process involves legislative review and a potential statewide vote. The scope of work could involve adjustments to local budgeting, financial planning, and potentially new revenue or cost-saving measures for local entities. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in financial services, legal services, and government consulting may find opportunities as local governments adapt to these potential changes. Early engagement could provide insight into how these legislative shifts might translate into actionable projects or service needs.
