Chair Suarez: Okay. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's 12..04. This is the Midtown
CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) agenda of September 8, 2016. On behalf of my
executive director, I just want to apologize. We hadn't had one under the normal course. He had
a few personal issues that he had to attend to with his father's health, and it did not delay any of
the business of the Midtown CRA, so I just wanted to clarify that for the record. Mr. Executive
Director.
Pieter Bockweg (Executive Director, Midtown Community Redevelopment Agency): Thank you
Mr. Chair. And Commissioners, it's nice to see all of you again. And again, I apologize for the
delay in -- with bringing before you the amended budget. I did have some personal issues with
my mom and my father that coincided during the time schedule, so my apologies for that; that's
truly my responsibility. Item number 1, Mr. Chair, is the approval of the amended budget for
fiscal year '15/16 for the Midtown CRA.
Chair Suarez: Is there a motion?
Board Member Carollo: Move it.
Board Member Gort: Second.
