RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Directors of the Omni Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) approve and adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Executive Director to increase
the contribution from the CRA to the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) in the amount of
$10,000 above the originally approved $15,000 for a total of $25,000 for additional funding for the
DDA consultant to study the parking problems for the Performing Arts Center.
JUSTIFICATION:
On July 26, 2004, the Omni CRA Board of Directors approved Resolution No. CRA-R-04-0002
authorizing a contribution of $15,000 to the DDA for the purpose of partially funding a Parking
Study in conjunction with the Performing Arts Center. The DDA, also, contributed $15,000 toward
the study for a total of $30,000. No other agency contributed toward the study. The CRA
received a request from the DDA on December 7, 2004 to contribute another $10,000 for the
purpose of covering costs of authorized additional services plus anticipated costs associated with
the consultant's participation in upcoming briefing sessions through early February of '05. As you
are aware, the lack of parking for the PAC is a problem that must be resolved — and quickly. The
DDA has taken the leadership role in pulling this study together, but requires the costs to be
spread around several agencies. On December 30, 2004, the Performing Arts Center contributed
an additional $10,000 per attached letter. Therefore, it is recommended that the CRA contribute
the requested like amount of $10,000 to complete the study and develop the RFP.
FUNDING SOURCE:
$10,000.00 from Omni TIF Account Code 686001.590320.6.270 entitled Omni Professional
Services Other.
