The meeting was called to order by Chair Winton at 9: 09 p.m. and was adjourned at 9:11 p.m. ALSO PRESENT: Frank Rollason, Executive Director, CRA, City of Miami Jorge L. Fernandez, General Counsel James Villacorta, Assistant General Counsel, CRA Priscilla A. Thompson, Clerk of the Board Pamela E. Burns, Assistant Clerk of the Board ABSENT: Board Member Tomas Regalado Board Member Joe Sanchez A motion was made by Board Member Gonzalez, seconded by Vice Chair Spence -Jones, and was passed unanimously, with Board Members Regalado and Sanchez absent, to continue the items scheduled on the February 23, 2006 Community Redevelopment Agency meeting to March 9, 2006, at 10 a.m. Jorge L. Fernandez (General Counsel): And now you -- Board Member Gonzalez: Now, we go -- Chairman Winton: And we're going to call -- Board Member Gonzalez: -- into the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) meeting. Chairman Winton: We're going to call to order a CRA Board meeting of -- what's the date today? What's the date today? Priscilla A. Thompson (Clerk of the Board): The 23rd. Chairman Winton: February 23 -- Joe Arriola (City Manager): 23rd. Chairman Winton: -- 2006. Yeah, we're -- this is going to take just one minute because we're going to -- I asked Frank if we have any items that have to be heard because I know you all are not inclined to stay longer, and so we're going to -- and I think he's going to say no, but we need to get a time certain date for our Commission meeting -- I mean a time certain for when we're going to hold this meeting on the 9th. Frank Rollason (Executive Director, Community Redevelopment Agency): I am suggesting -- because of the conflict that Bernard has -- Zyscovich -- on that same day -- he has to be in West Palm at 2, so if we do this at a time certain at 10, and we are -- as you've been doing recently been able to get the regular Commission meeting shorter, if we set it later, you'll liable to have to come back again for the later meeting, so if we do this at 10, I look that this agenda should be maybe 30, 45 minutes to go through the entire agenda, so if we do that at 10, Bernard can make his presentation as number one, and then we can go through the other items. Board Member Gonzalez: That is going to be during a regular Commission meeting.

Jim Villacorta (Assistant General Counsel, Community Redevelopment Agency): A motion to hold a -- Board Member Gonzalez: To defer, right? Mr. Villacorta: -- special meeting of the CRA on March 10.
