Mr. Casella and Mr. Bomstein asked for approval of an application and
resolution to qualify the Clearwater Downtown Development Board's administra-
tive expenses as an approved activity for the 50% state corporate income

was approved by the Board.

the Board as well as city officials to attend the next FDDA meeting one
year from now in Tampa.

of the J. K. Development Corporation's Development Agreement and a
resolution relating to possible condemnation of the Jannelli property.
