responsible for carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within its Redevelopment
Area in accordance with its approved Redevelopment Plan; and
WHEREAS, Section 4.4, D., at page 42, of the 2009 Omni Area Redevelopment Plan lists "[the

authorized the purchase of said property, in an amount not to exceed $3,100,101; and

WHEREAS, the staff of the School Board would not recommend that the School Board approve
the sale of the Property to the CRA unless the CRA resolved issues with FDOT regarding the Property;

1-395 expansion for a purchase price of $26.00 per square foot which is slightly more than the price to

to lease that southern portion of the Property back to the CRA for a term of at least 18 months, with a
