<br />Community Redevelopment Agency <br />January 9, 2009 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br /> <br />The Board was polled and the motion failed with Mr. Jones and Mr. McGregor casting the dissenting votes. <br /> <br />Mr. Jones requested this item be scheduled for discussion at the next CRA meeting. Mr. Paradise said this item it <br /> <br />going before the City Commission for review at their next meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Jones said that he would like more input and information regarding the Anniversary Park before he commits more <br /> <br />of the CRA money to the project. He said the CRA has been committed to the Anniversary Park project in the past. He said <br /> <br />the question is how much more of a commitment is the CRA going to make. <br /> <br />Mr. Jones said he received the information; however, he did not have sufficient time relative to understanding the <br /> <br />changes that were made. He said he voted for the $200,000 for the 2010 budget and he wasn't expecting another amount. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise explained that the $200,000 was shown in the 2010 budget because it was estimated that the <br /> <br />construction of the park would take place over the course of tvvo fiscal years. He said the funds were approved in the 5 year <br /> <br />Capital Improvement Plan. Mr. Paradise suggested the CRA Board address moving the $200,000 to the 2008/2009 budget <br /> <br />today and discussing the $130,000 expenditure at the next CRA meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. McGregor said that he wants to see money spent that will result in a direct ad valorem impact result. Mr. Jones <br /> <br />requested specific details on the additional expenditures and signage. <br /> <br />Mr. Etze made a motion to move forward the $200,000 from fiscal year 2009/2010 to fiscal year 2008/2009 for the <br /> <br />Anniversary Park commitment. Mr. Daigle seconded the motion. The motion passed with a majority vote with Mr. McGregor <br /> <br />casting the dissenting vote. <br /> <br />Mr. Daigle requested that staff bring back the additional $151,000 ($130,000) request at the next meeting and <br /> <br />showing the impact to the park to the next CRA meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Fortini stated that CRA procedural rules requires the CRA Board approve purchases. He requested the Board <br /> <br />make a recommendation for APEC as the low bidder for the Anniversary Park project. Mr. Daigle made a motion to approve <br /> <br />APEC as low bidder for the Anniversary Park project. Mr. Jones seconded the motion.
