CRA-R-13-0055
Chair Sarnoff. I want to welcome everybody to the Omni September 26, 2013 agenda. Mr.
Bockweg, I understand this is for the approve -- adopting of the CRA's (Community
Redevelopment Agency's) budget. Would you go through it very quickly?
Pieter Bockweg (Director, Omni Community Redevelopment Agency): Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The budget before you is for the Omni special revenue and operating. In essence, it's pretty
standard as -- same as last year. It's really a four -category budget. The next year's TIF (Tax
Increment Fund) contribution will go towards administration; obviously, the PAC (Performing
Arts Center) payment. We are continuing the police visibility grant, and the majority of the
money will be allocated for the MEC (Miami Entertainment Complex), which I'm not sure if you
all know I can't really discuss on the record 'cause we are in a cone of silence currently, moving
forward, expecting those results October 9. And this is, as you know, the preliminary budget for
'13/14, and we'll be coming back with an amended budget in February.
