Mr. Corcoran then discussed the proposed Community Resource Center & Shelter being proposed by Community Solutions of the Emerald Coast, Inc., a non-profit group formed under the umbrella of the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce. The goal of the proposed center is training and employment; food and temporary shelter; benefits and social services and health and veterans services. A phased approach is being proposed to begin the development of the Resource Center. Mr. Corcoran advised Phase I consists of developing a temporary shelter and food service facility and Phase II consists of expanding the service capabilities of the Resource Center.

Mr. Corcoran advised that a location for the shelter has been pursued and that within the last two years, Council has directed staff to pursue options for City-owned surplus properties. The City currently has available property located at 1564 Percy Coleman road, the site of the abandoned wastewater treatment plant and has proposed a lease arrangement of the property for the development of a community Resource Center & Shelter. Mr. Corcoran requested Community Solutions of the Emerald Coast be allowed to lease the eight acres of City-owned property at 1564 Percy Coleman Road for development of a Community Resource Center & Shelter The City Manager advised he sits on the Board representing the City and also in his position as City Manager.
