TO: MAYOR JOE CAROLLO AND CITY COMMISSION
FROM.,,<XILEROY LLOYD, CHAIRMAN OF THE OVERTOWN ADVISORY BOARD
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 7A
DATE: 6/28/00
On behalf of the Overtown Advisory Board, I respectfully request that agenda item 7A in
the June 29`h Commission Meeting be deferred. This item amends resolution No. 00-427 by
transferring $3 million of previously approved Community Development Block Grant Funds
for the Historic Overtown Priority Business Corridor Project to meet the Annual Funding
Commitment to the CRA. The Overtown Advisory Board was not given the opportunity to
discuss and review this item. At Monday nights CRA meeting, several board members were
distressed and opposed the transfer of monies. The Overtwon Advisory Board recently
approved the Overtown Redevelopment Area Design Charrette and respectfully requests
that those monies be directed towards this approved project. I appreciate your attention in
this matter.
