BACKGROUND The CRA in its implementation of the Redevelopment plan, have sought to acquire various sites, including lands with improvements, and have found several such parcels within the CRA boundaries are owned by the Miami -Dade County School Board. 'The CRA desires to open dialogue with the School Board to determine any and all excess properties, located within the redevelopment area, that are currently being under-utilized that may suite the needs of the CRA and its redevelopment plan.

Teele, Jr. and Members of the CRA Board of Directors FROM: Annette Lewis, Acting Executive Director SUBJECT: School Board Liaison At the Board Meeting of January 28, 2002, I received authorization to begin discussion with the School Board in regards to underutilized or excess School Board properties within the CRA boundaries. Preliminary meetings indicate that there are properties available and the School Board is poised to begin negotiations with the CRA for the utilization of properties for the redevelopment purpose. Specifically in the context of area residents being afforded a facility close in proximity to their residence, or within their neighborhood, that allows them to learn a trade and other job skills. To this end I would like to request from the School Board, a person who will function as a liaison between the CRA and the School Board during the period of negotiation until the execution of an agreement. The CRA will assume the expenses for the liaison and will provide office space at the CRA and requisite support required to perform the duties of said position.
