meeting, however, that version of the Amendment was not executed within the thirty (30) day time period
required by the Board of Commissioners because the Developer wanted until November 30, 2015 to close and
because of modifications the Developer wanted to the penalties for failing to comply with the participation
requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") approve and adopt the attached Resolution, with Attachment(s), authorizing
the Executive Director to enter into the Amendment in substantially the form attached.
