ITEM #2 - Minutes of the October 16, 1986 meeting.
Commissioner Regulski moved to approve the minutes of the meeting of
October 16, 1986 as submitted. Motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
ITEM #3 - Requests for use of 1180 Cleveland St. (CETA Building)
The CRA has received two requests for use of the former CETA Building which
is being purchased from Pinellas County. The first, from the University of
Industrial Management, requests a three year lease, terminable upon one years
notice, at a rental of $1,350 per month to start after six months. Renovation
costs would be deducted from lease payments. The University proposes to assist
in redevelopment efforts by providing a gathering place for business, industry
and community leaders to resolve problems inherent to the downtown area.
Juvenile Services Program, Inc. has requested a lease for some portion
of the facility. It would operate its Alternative Education and Dropout
Prevention Program and a Summer Remediation Program at the site under a one
year contract with the State Department of Education. A request has also been
received from UPARC.
The Downtown Development Board has indicated it does not wish to relocate
its offices to the building as a subsidy to rentals. Closing of the purchase
is expected by the end of March, 1987. Since the property acquisition was
approved to provide an enhanced redevelopment opportunity in the Eastern
Corridor area in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan, the use of this
facility by either entity is not recommended.
Joe McFate, Planning and Urban Development Director, stated after the
closing of the purchase, the property will be advertised for lease proposals,
not to exceed two (2) years, with termination upon 90-120 day notice. At that
time, the City will look at rental dollars and proposed use of the building.
Commissioner Regulski moved to deny the requests. Motion duly seconded
and carried unanimously.
Item #4 - The meeting adjourned at 8:38 p.m.
