Peter Gozza stated that 400+ surveys have been requested and that
over 200 completed surveys have been returned to the CRA office.
CRA Office Relocation Update - Mr. Gozza briefed the Trustees on
the current search for a CRA office in the downtown area. The site
recommended is a storefront owned by Mr. Terry Tsafatinos located
at 425 Cleveland street in the Colony Building. steve Fowler of
Fowler & Associates has designed a recommended office space/layout
of the property and has submitted it for approval. Renovations &
build-out of the property will be at the expense of the 'property
owner.
~.'O
.'
A discussion ensued regarding the sharing of qffice space with the
Downtown Development Board staff. Elise winters, DDB Chairperson,
indicated that the DDB would be interested in pursuing this idea.
Additional vacant office space adjoins the proposed CRA site that
could be leased by the DDB. Trustee Thomas suggested to Ms.
winters that if the DDB is seriously interested in pursuing the
concept of the joint office space that they move quickly to
meet with the Mr. Gozza and/or Mr. Tsafatinos (the landlord) to
work out the details, so that the CRA can move forward with lease
arrangements, office layout, etc.
This item is scheduled for discussion at the Downtown Development
Board meeting of January 31, 1995.
Trustee Thomas made a motion, which was seconded, to give direction
to the Executive Director to continue to pursue discussions with
the landlord relative to preparing a lease incorporating the
submitted floor plan, along with project costs. Trustee Garvey
indicated that she will vote against this motion because she feels
the COB should be allowed more input on this issue. Motion carried
on 3-2 vote, Trustees Garvey and Fitzgerald voting against.
