Cornell Park Presentation - Abbas Zackria. Robert Walters
Joe Weldon, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated staff has been
working with the Lake Ida Homeowners' Association for the last several months on a site
plan for Cornell Park.
Abbas Zackria, Robert Walters Architects (RW A), briefly reviewed the
site plan for Cornell Park.
Charlotte Lees, 110 Wood Lane, Delray Beach, stated she really
appreciates working with everyone and thanked staff for making changes especially with
regard to the parking so that it will not be backing out onto 9th Street and screened from
the neighbors. She strongly supports the site plan.
JoAnn Peart, 107 N.W. 9th Street, Delray Beach, thanked Mr. Weldon and
Mr. Zackria and feels they came up with a good compromise. She expressed concern
over the covered picnic tables proposed for Phase II.
Mr. Levinson entered into the record two emails supporting the park (a
copy is attached hereto and made an official part of the minutes). He stated he would like
to make sure that the walking path and the places where improvements are made do not
create a situation where we ultimately kill the existing Slash Pine trees. He suggested
that staff consult with a landscape architect who has skills to insure that these trees are
maintained as much as possible.

03/15/05
Mr. Costin echoed comments expressed by Mr. Levinson. Mr. Costin
asked if the six foot jogging trail is the standard width. Mr. Zackria stated the jogging
trail should be six feet versus the eight feet which is shown on the site plan.
Brief discussion followed between staff and the Commission.
7.C. Proposed Miracle Leal!ue Baseball Diamond at Miller Park - Joe
Weldon. Director of Parks and Recreation
Joe Weldon, Director of Parks and Recreation, gave a brief video
presentation regarding the proposed Miracle League baseball diamond at Miller Park for
physically and mentally challenged children. He urged the Commission to authorize staff
to form a committee to raise funds and donated services. Staff anticipates the cost of the
field will be approximately $500,000-$750,000. Staff is also requesting approximately
$10,000 in seed money for a site plan and for providing cost estimates.
Mrs. Archer stated the Little League has already agreed to run this and the
Parks and Recreation Department will maintain it. In addition, she stated David Schmidt
has agreed to process all the necessary paperwork for the City. Mrs. Archer stated she
feels this is a good opportunity for the Little League, Bucky Dent's Baseball School, the
City of Delray Beach, the Parks and Recreation Department, private people, and the
Rotary Club to come together and unite the community to try and produce this field.
Ms. McCarthy asked if the money is available in this year's Park and
Recreation budget. The City Manager stated this would more than likely be taken from
the Bond Issue money; however, staff can look at other sources if necessary.
Mr. Weldon stated staff is working to get this money donated; however, if
not, then the seed money will be needed.
Mr. Costin stated he supports this wholeheartedly and feels it IS a
wonderful idea.
Ms. McCarthy asked if there is any type of recreational vehicles through
the City of Delray Beach that services the parks that would accommodate children with
handicaps. The City Manager stated the City does not have any recreational vehicles at
this time; however, the City does have programs that are funded for special needs
children.
Mr. Weldon stated the City of Delray Beach has a contract with
Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC) of Palm Beach County every year and offers an
inclusion program in the After School Program and children that are physically and
mentally challenged are main streamed into the program. In addition, Mr. Weldon stated
the City provides surf chairs on the beach which allow the disabled to access the beach.
Ms. McCarthy suggested that staff contact ARC to see if they have this type of vehicle
available. Mr. Weldon stated staff will look into this.

forward and volunteered their services.

REGULAR AGENDA:
9.A. NEIGHBORHOOD ACTION PLAN/CHATELAINE STRATEGIC
TASK TEAM (STT): Consider approval and adoption of the Chatelaine Strategic Task
Team Neighborhood Action Plan presented by Lula Butler, Director, Community
Improvement; Janet Meeks, Education Coordinator; and Jayne King, President,
Chatelaine Homeowners' Association.
Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated this is the third
action plan in a series of plans for the Chatelaine subdivision and noted the Chatelaine
Task Team was initiated in December 2001. In this particular neighborhood, the
residents spent 13 months discussing their concerns and could not come to a consensus of
what their priorities were. The City put the Chatelaine Strategic Task Team Plan on hold
to allow the neighborhood to work together and come back with a list of priorities. Their
list of physical improvements is as follows: (1) New neighborhood identification
signage, (2) Entryway beautification, (3) Traffic calming elements, and (4) Improved
street lighting.
Janet Meeks, Education Coordinator, gave a briefPowerPoint presentation
regarding the Chatelaine Strategic Task Team Neighborhood Action Plan.
Mrs. Archer asked if the City received a grant approximately 3-4 years
ago to improve the front entrance area to the Chatelaine neighborhood. She stated there
are many dead plants there now and expressed concern over who is going to pay for the
irrigation and how the City can insure that this area is irrigated and maintained in the
common areas.
Mrs. Butler stated the City provides the maintenance for the first two years
to give it time to develop and stabilize itself while the association is able to work and get
more people paying dues so they can sustain it and understand their responsibility to
maintain it.
Jayne King, 3400 Place Valencay, Delray Beach, speaking on behalf of
Chatelaine, stated one of the residents has talked on the local Haitian radio station about
the concept of a homeowners association and what it means to maintain the outside of
your home. She stated they have re-established a "Block Captain" program where
different residents from each street are able to talk to people on their street, collect dues,
and address questions. In addition, Ms. King stated they paid for four plantings at the
front entrance from their own budget and stated residents are being charged $60.00 a year
for the water bill; however, for many people they are finding it very difficult to pay. She
stated years ago the City gave them a grant for a "House of the Month" sign and noted
many residents take pride in fixing up their properties so that they can have the sign
posted in their yard. Ms. King stated Chatelaine puts out a newsletter in the event
someone cannot attend a meeting and provides a neighborhood information packet for
newcomers.

03/15/05
Prior to the vote, Ms. McCarthy stated she is surprised to see that there are
not a higher percentage of people cooperating with regard to the $60.00 a year so that the
community can be the best that it can be for itself. She stated she may have to make
some telephone calls and challenge some of the residents to help out in this process so
that long term there is not a short term fix.
Mayor Perlman stated this is a good plan and he is looking forward to
seeing it implemented.
Mrs. Archer moved to approve the Chatelaine Strategic Task Team
Neighborhood Action Plan, seconded by Ms. McCarthy. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mayor Perlman - Yes; Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr.
Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
At this point, the time being 7:25 p.m., the Commission moved to the duly
advertised Public Hearings portion of the Agenda.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10.A. ORDINANCE NO. 11-05 (SECOND READING/SECOND PUBLIC
HEARING): City initiated amendment to Land Development Regulations Section
2.4.4(E), "Expiration of Approvals", to provide for a longer expiration period for
Conditional Uses, Site Plans, Landscaping Plans, Architectural Plans, and Preliminary
Subdivision Plats. Prior to consideration of passage of this ordinance on Second
Reading/Second Public Hearing, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this
time.

03/15/05
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was
held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida
and the Charter of the City of Del ray Beach, Florida.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated pursuant to LDR
Section 2.4.4(E)(2), approvals for conditional uses, site plans, landscaping plans,
architectural plans and preliminary subdivision plats have been limited to an eighteen
(18) month duration unless a different period is specifically stated in conditions of
approval. Within the past few years, requests for extensions of approvals have become
more numerous. Due to many economic, permitting, and construction factors, it has
become more difficult to establish a project during the eighteen (18) month period. The
proposal is to amend the current regulation to lengthen the time frame to establish a
project for an additional six (6) months, from eighteen (18) months to twenty four (24)
months. The proposed two (2) year approval period is consistent with other
municipalities in Palm Beach County. At its meeting of February 28, 2005, the Planning
and Zoning Board considered the proposed text amendment and recommended approval.
Mayor Perlman declared the public hearing open.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, Delray Beach, urged the Commission to
look carefully at this ordinance and asked that a close review be done before the
extension is made to ensure that the project is in keeping and contemporary with other
projects being approved in Delray Beach.
There being no one from the public who wished to address the
Commission regarding Ordinance No. 11-05, the public hearing was closed.
Ms. McCarthy asked what type of review we have in place already and
asked if an applicant would have to go through another review board again before getting
final approval. Mr. Dorling stated the approval process now is for eighteen (18) months
and after eighteen months (18) there would be a request for an extension and the planning
staff would review all of the changes to the LDR's within those 18 months and determine
whether it would be appropriate to apply them to this project or approve it and allow an
extension under the old regulations.
Mrs. Archer moved to adopt Ordinance No. 11-05 on Second
Reading/Second Public Hearing, seconded by Mr. Costin. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms.
McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Perlman - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
10.B. RESOLUTION NO. 8-05/CONTRACT FOR SALE AND
PURCHASE OF PROPERTYI1700 LAKE IDA ROAD: Consider approval of
contract to sell City owned property, 1700 Lake Ida Road, and Contract for Sale and
Purchase between the City and Crossroads Recovery Foundation, Inc. (CRC) in the
amount of $1,000,000.00; and approve Resolution No. 8-05. Prior to consideration of

CONTRACT STATING THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE
BETWEEN THE BUYER AND THE CITY OF DELRA Y
BEACH, FLORIDA.
(The official copy of Resolution No. 8-05 is on file in the City Clerk's
office. )
The City Attorney stated this is a contract to sell property located at 1700
Lake Ida Road to the CRC Recovery Foundation, Inc. and stated the City has received a
$10,000.00 deposit. She stated the appraised value is $1,000,000.00 and they have
agreed to pay this amount as outlined in the memorandum and noted this does not include
interest.
Mayor Perlman declared the public hearing open. There being no one
from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Resolution No. 8-05,
the public hearing was closed.
Prior to the vote, Mrs. Archer stated she was involved when CRC
purchased land to make a permanent home for the Crossroads Club several years ago and
is pleased to still be on the Commission doing this again.
Mr. Levinson stated as the contract stands he is uncomfortable that there is
no interest because he feels there could potentially be an issue with setting a precedent.
He proposed to amend the agreement to include an interest rate based upon the cost of
funds and encouraged utilizing a similar program that is being used by the Spady
Museum. Mr. Levinson stated the Crossroads Club would make an application through
the grant process and the City would grant them back an amount of money that could be
similar to or in excess of the interest fee.
Ms. McCarthy expressed concern over the additional deposit due thirty
(30) days after the effective date even if today becomes the effective date and stated this
is too close to the closing date. The City Attorney stated the contract can be amended to
make the second deposit of$90,000.00 due ten (10) days after approval of the contract.
Mr. Costin moved to approve the Contract for Sale and Purchase of
Property located at 1700 Lake Ida Road with the additional deposit of $90,000.00 due ten
(10) days from the date of execution of the contract; and approve Resolution No. 8-05,

"Low Density Residential (RL) District", enacting performance standards and providing
for recreational areas for multi-family developments to mitigate the impacts of additional
density from a base density of three (3) units per acre to a maximum of six (6) units per

Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated the current
development standards for the RL (Low Density Residential) zoning district provide for a
range in densities from a minimum of three (3) units per acre to a maximum of six (6)
units per acre. The proposed amendment would create a set of seven (7) performance
standards that must be met in order to increase density beyond the minimum, which is
intended to lessen the impact of the additional density. In addition, the standard for
recreational amenities has been amended to require that facilities be provided for children
of all ages. It also corrects a reference in the plan where it talks about the Planning and
Zoning Board making the finding whereas the site plan usually goes before the Site Plan
Review and Appearance Board.
At its meeting of January 25, 2005, the Planning and Zoning Board voted

03/15/05
Mayor Perlman stated the direction of the City Commission was given to
the staff to research Citizen Boards to see which ones can be applicable and the idea is to
get something in place that is effective. He stated staff is currently looking at different
models from across the country to see which one will be effective and at that point staff
will come back to the Commission with recommendations and the Commission will vote
for or against those.
9.B. RESOLUTION NO. 14-05: Consider approval of Resolution No. 14-05
authorizing the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to acquire for simple title by
gift purchase or eminent domain for property needed for the Carver Square
Neighborhood Plan.
The caption of Resolution No. 14-05 is as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN
REAL PROPERTY AS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED
BY THE DELRA Y BEACH COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BY GIFT, PURCHASE
OR EMINENT DOMAIN; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
(The official copy of Resolution No. 14-05 is on file in the City Clerk's
office. )
Mayor Perlman declared a conflict of interest and passed the gavel to Vice
Mayor McCarthy and left the dais.
The City Attorney stated the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
passed a resolution regarding these properties in the Carver Square neighborhood and are
required by Statute to get City Commission approval if they are contemplating to exercise
eminent domain.
Diane Colonna, Executive Director of the CRA, stated the CRA does not
anticipate having to use eminent domain; however, this is being requested in the event
eminent domain would need to be used. She stated they would like to move forward
quickly because people are anxious to move out. Ms. Colonna stated Mrs. Butler and the
CRA staff has been meeting this week with the individual homeowners and she believes
there will not be any issues with the homeowners in terms of finding other locations for
them, providing subsidies, paying an adequate sum for their properties that will enable
them to get into other housing where it will not be a real hardship for them. Ms. Colonna
stated there could be potential issues with the vacant land because there are several lots
that are owned by people who had intentions of developing those lots. She stated in the
Southwest neighborhood it is very common to have problems with the chain of title so
even if someone wants to sell and the title cannot be cleared the sale cannot go through.
- 15 -
03/15/05
Therefore, Ms. Colonna stated eminent domain would help to clear this up very rapidly
and staff could move forward without having those obstacles. Ms. Colonna stated if
property is acquired through the possibility of eminent domain, there will be a tax benefit
for all the property owners.
Brief discussion between Vice Mayor McCarthy and Diane Colonna
followed (Exhibit "A" is attached hereto and made an official part of the minutes).
Mr. Levinson moved to approve Resolution No. 14-05, seconded by Mr.
Costin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Vice Mayor McCarthy - Yes;
Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4

At this point, Mayor Perlman returned to the dais.
The City Attorney stated the contract between the City and Bill Plum
requires the City Commission to approve, in writing, authorization of amounts exceeding

Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services, stated this is a request
for a bid award to Morgan Roofing, Inc. for the Old School Square Re-roofing Project.
Mr. Hasko stated there was a mandatory pre-bid conference for this project and
approximately six contactors were present. However, the City only received one bid and
this bidder cannot meet one of the standard requirements in the contract. Mr. Hasko
requested that this requirement be waived.
Mr. Levinson asked if this can be changed to a Florida Bonding company
because he feels this is more customary. The City Attorney stated the City has
customarily used a local firm; however, staff can look into this.

Ms. McCarthv
Ms. McCarthy stated she received some information from Rabbi Carter
regarding Chaplain Busby who ministered at the church located at 898 S.W. loth Street
(east of Wallace Drive). He was very instrumental during the times when the youth were
at odds with one another (i.e. Haitian-Americans and African-Americans). Ms.
McCarthy stated Chaplain Busby, his church, and his wife worked together with Advent
Lutheran Church to create a summer program where young people who were
recommended by their guidance counselors and their teachers were put together in a work
program so that they would have the money to purchase school supplies and clothing for
the next school year. She stated students were not prepared to face the school day and
consequently did not feel good about themselves which created more animosity to a
situation and also gave the youths the opportunity to travel to places they normally would
not see and have experiences which they normally did not get to do together. Ms.
McCarthy announced that his funeral will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2005 at 10:00
a.m. at Spanish River Church on west Yamato Road with a viewing on Friday at 5:00

Subject:
Dear Mr. Mayor and City ComIDlssioners,
At tonight's commission meeting you will be presented
the Cornell Park plans. I wIll be unable to attend
tonight's meeting, but wanted to pass along some
information.
The Lake Ida Property Owner's Association formed a
"Parks Committee" and worked with Joe Weldon in the
development of these plans. Much conslderaùon was
taken into the preservaùon of the existing slash
pines, while at the same time makmg the area more
usable and attractive. We believe these plans
accomplish this and would encourage you to approve
these plans.
Thank you for your time.

Dear City Commissioners,
Being brought before you Tuesday evening is a proposal for Cornell Park in the Lake Ida area. In lieu of an
JU1pearance, I'd like to share my thoughts with you via this letter. I thank you in advance for your time and attention.
.st November, Joe Weldon and his associates brought before the Lake Ida area residents proposals for three
neighborhood parks Two plans were viewed quite favorably by the residents with some suggestions and comments
being well-received by Mr. Weldon. These were the 11th Street park at Lake Ida and the Scout hut park on Lake Ida
road.
The presentation of the Cornell Park plan brought much discussion. Residents were nearly unanimous in their desire to
leave the space as natural as possible. It became evident that the residents wanted to save the slasb pine trees and the
wildlife habitat and that as little development as possible was requested.
The plan you will have for your review Tuesday night is what Mr. Weldon calls a "compromise" with the
neighborhood. Truly, it is not even close to what the residents voiced an overwhelmingly majority opinion on in
November, nor has it been shown to all interested Lake Ida area residents. It has not even been offered for approval to
those of us who have homes along the perimeter of the park Mr. Weldon has convinced some residents that it is the
best that we can hope for and we must accept it without question. I cannot agree with that and, though it may be in
vain, must state my objection to the plan and to the way it was researched and presented. I must also bring up the fact
that the budget for the park is $150,000 and this plan, per Mr. Weldon, will cost in excess of $300,000.
This park plan includes an invasive sprinkler system, an eight foot wide paved walking path, and future plans for a
gazebo and playground equipment Neighbors were unanimous is their view that, since playground equipment and
eating facilities are very nearby, that none were wanted here. While the gazebo and playground equipment are not on
the immediate plan, they are on the future expansion plan and several ofthe neighbors would request that they be
r--noved.
I ìer speaking with three master gardeners at two County Extension offices and two people in the community with
extensive knowledge about native plants, I have come to be concerned about the lack of care' dOd educated thought
given to the slash pine trees in the space According to a county published statistic, less than 2% of slash pine trees
remain in Palm Beach County Many of us have homes built from this pine in the 60's when an ab1.tndance of pine trees
were cut down for city and highway development. The last 40 years have nearly annihilated this native tree from our
landscape. These trees are beautiful, require no fertilizer, watering or special care and are home to many interesting
birds in our area. Slash pine trees need nothing, but to be left alone. Herein lies the concern. When slash pines get
additional water or fertilizer, they die. Their roots travel great distances and in directions that cannot be predicted.
When their roots are disturbed by heavy equipment digging irrigation systems or building paved pathways, they
develop pine bores and die They don't die today or next month or even next year, but they will most likely die over a
three to five year time period. When questioned about these facts, Mr. Weldon responded that he did not care what
happened five years from now because he would be retired from the Parks Department and it wouldn't be his problem.
I seriously doubt you, as an elected official, would be so uninterested in concerns from you constituency. Mr. Weldon
told me the plan will be presented to the Commission and it is the plan that would be approved.
That certainly may be true, but I feel it is necessary to share the concerned opinion that the Parks Department, in this
one instance, has failed to perform the necessary due diligence in researching the facts for this project. Mr. Weldon has
not been able to answer specific questions about slash pines and other native vegetation and did not appear to be
concerned about finding answers His department has not consulted with the people who have the specialized
knowledge to be able to make informed, educated recommendations. This may not be characteristic of Mr. Weldon's
work behavior or attitude, but in this one instance, he and his associates have consistently failed to do their homework.
~ has failed to listen to the community and has convinced some in the community that this i.; the only plan that the
'y commission will approve. I am willing to bet that each of you is more interested in doing what is right than
. .ickly approving something to get it off your plate. I am also willing to bet that you will take the appropriate steps to
delay approval ofthis plan until experts can be consulted and questions answered.
My recommendation would be to limit the irrigation to the one large field on the east side of the park and to change the

~ 8' wide paved path to a 4' sidewalk like the one at the Seacrest Scrub on Seacrest Ave in Boynton Beach. Also, I
would respectfully request that the gazebo and playground equipment be removed from any current and future plans..
Adding more native vegetation could enhance the space around the slash pines without risking potentially dead trees.
Finally, a minimal 3 - 5 parking lot spaces on the lesser traveled 4th Avenue side of the park should be more that
adequate to house visitors driving to the park.
I do want to stress that I am not an expert in native vegetation, and neither is Mr. Weldon. I am merely suggesting, 3J]
respectfully requesting, that experts be consulted on this project, along with the neighborhood committee, and we
answer these questions before creating a situation we will regret. Master gardeners may be consulted at the County
Extension office at 276-1260 and at Mounts Botanical Garden at 561-233-1749. The Native Plant Society meets the

EXHIBIT "A"
9.B. RESOLUTION NO. 14-05: Consider approval of Resolution No. 14-05
authorizing the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to acquire fee simple title by
gift purchase or eminent domain for property needed for the Carver Square
Neighborhood Plan.
Mayor Perlman: I'm going to declare a conflict and pass the gavel to the Vice Mayor.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Resolution No. 14-05.
City Attorney: Yes, this is a resolution that... well, the CRA passed a resolution
regarding these properties in the Carver Square neighborhood and they are required by
Statute to get City Commission approval if they are going to exercise or contemplating to
exercise eminent domain and that's what this resolution is about. And, Diane Colonna I
see is here to answer any questions you might have.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Okay, thank you.
Diane Colonna: Hi, Diane Colonna, Executive Director of the Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Just want to emphasize this is being requested in the
event that we have to use eminent domain. We don't anticipate that we will have to but
we are going forward and we want to move forward quickly because we've been dealing
with this situation for a year and a half now with all the studies and everything else.
People are anxious to move out and we are.. ..Mrs. Butler has been meeting with and our
staff have been meeting this week with all the individual homeowners and I believe that
we won't have any issues with the homeowners in terms of finding other locations for
them, providing subsidies, paying an adequate sum for their properties that will enable
them to get into other housing where it won't be a real hardship for them. So far that's
going very well. Where we think we might have issues are with the vacant land. There
are several lots that are owned by people who had intentions of developing those lots.
We really don't want to get into a situation where we're developing part of the property
and someone else is developing another part. So, we want to be able to...in the event,
again, that we have to use eminent domain.. . and it's very rare that we've ever had to use
it but we just wanted to have this in place in case we had to go that route. Another reason
is where it may come in handy is if there are title issues. In the Southwest neighborhood
this is pretty common to have problems with chain of title so even when someone wants
to sell sometimes if the title can't be cleared they can't....the sale can't go through. So,
this is again, a situation where eminent domain can help clear that up very rapidly and we
can go forward without having those obstacles. We really do want to move on it. As I
said, people are very anxious to see some action. And, this I believe will be a benefit;
also, it's a tax benefit. If you acquire property through eminent domain or through the
possibility of eminent domain, it'll be a tax benefit for all the property owners. So, that's
our reason.

Vice Mayor McCarthy: Is this open to the public?
Mr. Levinson: No.
City Attorney: It is now; it's not a public hearing item but you....
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Okay.
Mr. Levinson: I move approval of 14-05.
Mr. Costin: Second.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Okay. I have a couple of comments. Do you have any
comments on this?
Mrs. Archer: No, go ahead.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Umm, I have had the opportunity to speak to our City Attorney
on 14-05 as well for this resolution and because it's not an ordinance and it's a resolution
then it does not go through a process where notice is actually served up to the individual
owners of the property. But, it was publicized that it was going to be on this Agenda this
evening. And, there are some concerns with the vacant lot parcels that are part of this
package of acquisition. I've been told and I have verified that the CRA and
representatives of the CRA have actually....in the City... .excuse me.... CRA and
representatives from the City have actually started meeting with the homeowners in this
area explaining the offers that are being presented to them and that this process is already
in place as well. Umm, so because ofthat.....because this is publicized and is something
that was held at your last meeting if I remember correctly as well.
Diane Colonna: Yes, we did have this on our.. ..not on our last meeting but on the
Agenda where we had the Carver Square item and we had all the residents in attendance,
this was on that Agenda as well as another item.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: So, this is actually the second time that this is being discussed
out in the open.
Diane Colonna: Yes. Because our Board had to first adopt a resolution to request the
City Commission's permission and then it comes here for your action and then it goes
back to our Board actually one more time for us to authorize it officially.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Okay and Diane is it correct that the CRA and the City will
continue their efforts to negotiate the offers that they have already put in place based on
appraised values that were already done months ago?
Diane Colonna: Yes.
-2-
03/15/05
-
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Yes, okay.
Diane Colonna: It's a combination of acquisition costs and subsidies for down payment
assistance; relocation expenses. So, it's really a combination package. We're really
restricted in what we can pay for the property but we can make up for that in other
means; by other means. Subsidies - we're investigating the possibility of.. .you know...
if we have to get into a situation where we have to do mortgages, that's a possibility; if
we have credit issues; umm, if we need to do deferred payment loans. We'll come up
with a combination of grants and subsidies and the acquisition costs and we will make
sure that everybody is taken care of.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Okay, one other thing. Because I want to make certain it's in
the record. Coming up to this point there was also discussion about possibly approaching
the existing lenders who have these mortgages and seeing if we could get payoffs that
were less value than what is showing up on people's coupon or in coupon books. Has
that been done?
Diane Colonna: Yes, we have four FHA insured homes that again we don't have high
hopes for this because it's just difficult to do but we do have.. .Michael Weiner has
agreed to do some work "pro bono" to see if he can get those mortgages reduced. So, at
least he'll be able to do some letters and get the ball rolling and see if there's some
possibilities there. So, he's offered his services free of charge.
Vice Mayor McCarthy: Okay. Thank you very much for that information. Chevelle,
you want to call the roll?
City Clerk: Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson-
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
