OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 1 Printed on 2/24/2026 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes February 12, 2026 PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR ALL ITEM(S): Chair Pardo: The public comment period is now open for all resolutions on today's agenda. Rogers Jones: Hello, everyone. My name is Rogers Jones. And thank you all for giving me this opportunity to speak. I've been a property owner for the last 30 years in the Overtown area. And when I first started being a landlord, rent was about $180 to $220 for one -bedroom apartments, and now they have 10 times that. And I have a couple of tenants that's been in my property for 25 years. And they really can't afford really to stay there. They have social security that they receive. And some of them have just regular jobs, you know. And I've been doing the best that 1 can to try to keep it affordable for the tenants in Overtown. And I just hope that you all consider giving me an opportunity to be able to continue to help those. It's a easy way out, but I chose not to take the easy way out. And I want to thank the commissioner, Pardo, the chair lady, Christa [sic] King, and everyone. I also want to thank the executive director of the CRA, Jermaine, and even Trina, and maybe some other people I can't remember at the time. But thank you all for considering an opportunity. Thank you. Chair Pardo: Thank you. Are there any other public comments on today's' agenda? Okay, seeing no further public comment.
