Chair Suarez: Good afternoon. It's 12: 33. We're going to commence with the Midtown
Community Redevelopment Agency agenda. There is one item on the agenda which consists of a
resolution approving the accompanying budget. Mr. Executive Director, would you like to
explain how the Midtown CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) functions?
Pieter A. Bockweg (Executive Director, Midtown Community Redevelopment Agency): Yes, Mr.
Chair. Thank you and good afternoon, everybody. As you know, as part of the budgetary
process, this is the preliminary budget. We will be corning before you again sometime in
February to do the amended budget, but this is required to make sure we meet the deadline with
the City Commission accepting the budget. The budget before you obviously is our anticipated
TIF (Tax Increment Fund) contribution from the City and the County; 99 percent of that will be
going to pay the debt service for the Midtown area, and one percent goes to Administration. The
items before you is the operating budget, as well as the special revenue, and from an operating
side, I'm happy to report that we will be again under budget this year; we won't know exactly
how much; we won't know that until we reconcile in October, and that's the item before you, sir.
Chair Suarez: Thank you. Is there a motion on the only item on the agenda? Moved by Board
Member Sarnoff. Is there a second?
