Mr. Torres explained that the funding for the landscaping <br /> <br />grant for the three FDOT parcels on US Highway 17-92 was recently cut from the budget; however, the Governor vetoed the <br /> <br />bill which restored the funding for the three parcels. <br /> <br />Mr. Lander questioned the number of open traffic lanes during the State Road 436/ Red Bug Lake Road Intersection <br /> <br />Improvement Project. Mr. Torres said there is a full set of construction documents that addresses maintenance of traffic. <br /> <br />Ms. Aurora Rodriguez, former CRA Board member, said it is very encouraging to see the progress and she felt <br /> <br />honored to be a part of it. <br /> <br />Eighth Item of Business: 2008.2009 Budget and Capital Plan <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise said the 2008-2009 Budget and Capital Plan information was distributed at the last CRA meeting. Mr. <br /> <br />Paradise postponed discussion of this item to the end of the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Lander suggested that the City notify the school system and Northland Church regarding possible delays that <br /> <br />may occur during the Seminola Boulevard traffic signal improvement project. <br /> <br />Ninth Item of Business: Adopt purchasing policy <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise reviewed the staff memo dated July 7. 2008 (a copy of the staff memo is on file in the Community <br /> <br />Development Department).

The information would be provided to the CRA Board at the next regularly <br /> <br />scheduled meeting for their review. <br /> <br />Tenth Item of Business: Other Business <br /> <br />- Status of the deed from City to CRA on outparcel in front of Target <br /> <br />Mr. Gisclar explained that the City had an exchange agreement with Target for the Triplet Lake Drive Intersection <br /> <br />Improvement Project and within six months of the closing, Target requested replatting of the entire site.
