Modification of the Plan will encourage mixed~use rtevelopment and allow the
flexibility needed to meet long-range redevelopment plans. The COB (Community
Development Board) unanimously recommended approval. The City Commission will
review the amendment on September 2, 1999, and the board of County
Commissioners will review the amendment on September 14, 1999.

Manager/eRA Executive Director Bob Keller said that inclusion would require County
approval. Staff will work on this issue.
ITEM #4 - Adopt Fiscal Year 1999-2000 Community Redevelopment AQencv (CRAl
budQet
Since final millage rates of the impacted taxing authorities have not been
adopted, the revenue budget is based upon estimated taxable property values at the
1 99B/99-millage rate. A 1 at quarter budget amendment will reflect the adopted
millage rates.
The "Transfers-In" category of the Operating Revenues reflects 2 payments
from the DDB (Downtown Development Board). As approved on August 16, 1999.
the DDB "Project" revenue line item represents the redirection of the" Atrium.'
funds, via an Interlocal agreement under negotiation. The DDB uAdmin. Fees"
revenue is reimbursement from DDS to CRA for administration fees.
The operating expense line items had minimal change. The most significant
changes: 1) Jolley Trolley subsidy, previously classified as a transfer-out to the
General Fund, is now classified under" Aid to Private Organizations" as an operating
expense: 2) the uParking Fund-Garden GarageU transfer-out reflects a $11,905
increase to meet terms of the Wakely & Associates agreement; and 3) the I.DDS
Project" transfer~in is budgeted as a transfer~out to the Miscellaneous
Redevelopment Project.
In response to a question, Mr. Keller said the City's general fund has
subsidized the Jolley Trolley but next year's City budget will not fund. The eRA
funds the Jolley Trolley for the leg between the beach and Downtown. Other "Aid
to Private Organizations" includes $5,000 for the Farmers Market.
Trustee Hooper moved to adopt the Fiscal Year 1999/00 eRA budget and
that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
