VI. Old Business:
a. Vacant Lots deed restrictions: There was much discussion from the Advisory
Board as well as the public attending, that the CRA should require some
monetary compensation back to the CRA for the developer not complying with
the terms of the deed restrictions if the CRA does not take the properties back.
The Advisory Board discussed the increase in value of the properties since the
sale and discussed some additional compensation because if it were sold today
the value would be much higher than when they were sold originally. If the
developer continued with the property, they would like to see a more
reasonable timeframe to complete the construction and a mechanism in place
to assure proper notification is given to the developer if the timelines are not
being met. Ms. Forester requested the Advisory Board's consensus of support
to negotiate with the develop and bring the item back at the January meeting.
The consensus of the Advisory Board was to support negotiating and bringing
it back in January. Mike Sherman opposes negotiating. Tami Scott noted that
she had reviewed the Advisory Board's meeting minutes since the properties
were sold including the time frame when the deadline to completed the
construction was reached and no discussion on the topic was included in the
meeting minutes.
b. 17 Acre update: Debrah Forester, updated the advisory board that there was a
conservation easement at Sudgen Park and the Nature Conservancy would not
support any development in the easement. Ms. Forester provided an attachment
showing the conservation easement and after further discussion with County
staff, development in the area would require mitigation which would also be
expensive. The pedestrian pathway connection to Sugden Park is allowed in
the conservation easement, so the other two options are still viable. Staff will
be meeting with each developer and clarify the terms of the purchase
agreement. Staff will update the Board at the next meeting.
c. Sudgen Park Pathway: Tami Scott noted that the executive summary to
return the CDBG funds to the County will be presented to the CRA Board at
the January 9 meeting. As discussed previously, the timing and approved
location of the pathway may change once the developer of the 17 acres is
selected. Using the CDBG funds to build the pathway at this time was not
recommended.
d. Redevelopment Act -Legislative update: Tim Durham provided an update on
House Bill 17 and Senate Bill 432 which will impact both existing CRAB and
the ability for local governments to create new CRAs. Staff is closely
monitoring the bills and will continue to provide updates. Ms. Forester noted
that Florida Redevelopment Associate is also monitoring and providing input
on these bills. The Board members may be interested in tracking the bills

themselves, which can be done by registering online with the Florida House
and Senate legislative tracking system.
e. Redevelopment Plan Update: Debrah Forester stated the item is scheduled
for the January 91h BCC/CRA agenda for approval to move forward with the
contract as negotiated.
f. Public Art/Murals: Staff updated the Board about the discussion with the
murals that were changed since the Advisory Board approved them. The Arts
subcommittee will be reviewing the process and application to consider
additional language and criteria that will be brought back to the Advisory
Board.
VII. New Business:

roof improvements for a total reimbursement of $5,286.45. Ron Kezeske made

Passed unanimously.
e. Future meeting location: Ms. Forester requested the Board discuss the future
location of the CRA meetings to the 5th Floor training room at the County
Administration complex, noting the limited resources available at the CRA
office. The Chairman asked the community members in attendance what their
preference was and they unanimously chose to have the meetings at the CRA
office and not the County complex. Future meetings will be held at the CRA
office unless under special circumstances where there is the need to have a
larger meeting area or better technology.
d. 2018 Meeting Calendar Staff provided the 2018 calendar with meeting dates
