Vice Chairman Allen: Good evening, and may I please have everyone to take a seat? I'm Commissioner Jeffery Allen, District 5, the Vice Chairman of the Southeast Overtown/Park West and Omni Community Redevelopment Agency, and today, I'm calling to order the agenda for Monday, September 26, 2005. It is clear that we currently do not have a quorum in which to go forth with this particular meeting, and as such, I would like to now turn to our executive director, with the help of our Clerk of Court [sic], and advise that we rollover the items, the agenda items, to the next CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) meeting. Mr. Executive Director. Frank Rollason (Executive Director, Community Redevelopment Agency): That would be the course of action -- you have the course of doing that automatically, and then between now and then, if the Chair decides -- could decide to call a special meeting, if he so desired to do that, and -- but that's the only way that there could be another meeting because you don't have a quorum to be able to take any action, so right now, they'll be rolled over to the October 31 meeting. Vice Chairman Allen: OK, just for record purposes, I would also note that Commissioner Regalado is also present. Therefore, there's only two sitting board members relative to the Community Redevelopment Agency. Well, having said that, Mr. Executive Director, I respectfully request that we roll over these agenda items to the next CRA meeting, which I believe is a date certain of -- Mr. Rollason: October 31. Vice Chairman Allen: -- October 31. Mr. Rollason: Halloween. Board Member Regalado: Halloween. Vice Chairman Allen: Halloween. Mr. Rollason: Costumes are optional. Commissioner Allen: And we apologize for those who were present and looking forward to speak on today's agenda items. We hope we haven't inconvenienced anyone. I look forward to seeing you on October 31, 2005. Thank you. Mr. Rollason: That's it. Take a sandwich on the way out, gang. Commissioner Allen: The meeting is concluded. 1 05-01005 CRA RESOLUTION FINANCIAL SUMMARY THROUGH MONTH END AUGUST 31, 2005.
