Notes of the CRA and Regular Commission Meeting of July 11

On July 11, the City Commission held a CRA Meeting and Regular Commission Meeting. The following are notes of interest (all votes were unanimous unless otherwise indicated):


CRA MEETING:

Commissioner Berger absent from this meeting.

1) RCP LOAN APPLICATION FOR NW 55 AVENUE PROPERTY

Application is proceeding to obtain funds with 0% interest. The intent is to purchase the land, if it appraises, then turn it over to the Lauderhill Housing Authority to construct single family homes.

2) INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS INCUBATOR RELOCATION

To save money, consensus was to move the program to the Inverrary Corporate Park office building. Tenants will pay $250/month, and the city will pay the remaining $50/month, plus cover the security deposit.

3) DISCUSSION OF PAC FUNDING

Because of the issue with the county not including interest, as provided in our agreement, the city is taking steps in its options. Also, staff will look at other alternatives so that the facility is within the proposed budget, plus make sure that it is consistent with today's economy and circumstances. The voter approved Lauderhill GO Bond requires a "Performing Arts Center" must be built with $5.8 Million. The County is matching that with another $5.8 Million, plus the funds for the new Library.

4) RESCHEDULE SEPTEMBER 12 MEETING

Approved 4-0 to move it to September 14, 2011 at 3:00 PM.
