Barnaby Min (Deputy City Attorney): Are we doing the CRA (Community Redevelopment

All right, I want to welcome everybody to the September 10, 2015 meeting of the Omni CRA. Mr.
Director, you have two items. Can you explain what they are so we can get through them as
quickly as possible?

Thank you. Good afternoon. The item before you is the proposed budget for '15/16. We're

anticipating a growth of around $3 million next year to contribution. The budget is pretty much
the exact same as last year, with the addition of two items: primarily, the Tri-Rail agreement,
which you all approved a couple months ago. That money has been allocated in a line item; and
there is a line item in there for future infrastructure and streetscape upgrades of $1.2 million. All
other line items have pretty much been the same, and we're meeting our obligations per our
agreements. That is the item before you from a special revenue standpoint. From an operating
standpoint, before you, I have reduced the operating budget by over $100, 000 from last year. In
totality, if you include Midtown and everything, it's about a 170,000 reduction from last year.
All line items are the same as was approved for the amended budget in March -- or February of
this year.
Vice Chair Suarez: So moved.
Mr. Bockweg: That's the budget before you. As you know, we'll be coming back to you for the
amended budget and audited budget in February once we have the tax roll finalized.
Vice Chair Suarez: Okay.
Mr. Bockweg: That's before you.
Chair Sarnoff Does that require a resolution?
Mr. Bockweg: I'm sorry, sir?
Chair Sarnoff Does the budget require a resolution?
Mr. Bockweg: Yes. This is also -- this item will also come before you at 5 o'clock for
acceptance.
Chair Sarnoff Okay. So do I have a motion?
Vice Chair Suarez: So moved.
Board Member Hardemon: Second.
Chair Sarnoff Is there a second? Second. Is there any discussion? Hearing no discussion, all
in favor, please say iiye. "
Chair Sarnoff Aye.
