From: Pieter A. Bockweg
Executive Director
Subject: Resolution Establishing a Revocable License

Enclosures: Supporting Documentation; Legislation
BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Omni Redevelopment District Community
Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the
Executive Director to establish a Revocable License Agreement program for the purpose of providing
short term use of CRA property.
The CRA routinely receives requests for the short term use of its properties. The uses are generally
for events that highlight the redevelopment area and in some cases create economic benefit to
residents of the CRA. The prospect of the CRA receiving revenues to either off -set other
programmatic expenses or re -invested back into the community justifies the programs creation.
Quarterly reports will be prepared by the executive Director documenting the use and revenue
received in the program. Any proposal or request for long term use or transfer of property shall
conform to the statutory requirement for disposition of real property as found in F.S. 163.380, and be
presented before the Board of Commissioners for approval. It is recommended that the Board
approve this Resolution.
JUSTIFICATION:
Section 4.4, Goal B/Principle B-3 in the OMNI Redevelopment Plan Objectives lists to create a
sustainable regional destination and identity by capitalizing on the development of the Performing Arts
Center and the Media/Entertainment District by creating economic magnets to draw more businesses
to the OMNI area to compliment established activities in the surrounding area; and
Section 4.4, Goal E/ Principle A-3 & D-7 in the OMNI Redevelopment Plan Objectives lists
providing incentives and strategies for public/private development by promoting rehabilitation and
maintenance of existing viable uses and structures and minimizing condemnation and relocation, as
stated in the redevelopment goals.
This resolution carries out these objectives.
FUNDING:
No funding needed.
