Background
At the July 30, 2019 CRA Board meeting, the CRA Board approved two (2) Commercial Property
Improvement Grant applications for Alex’s Flamingo Plaza located at 222 N Federal Highway and 236 N
Federal Highway. The grant applications were submitted in the name of Import-Export Livestock Corp. as
the owner of both properties.
The CRA Board approved a grant in the amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) for each
property, for a total of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00). After CRA Board approval of the grant
applications, CRA staff sent the appropriate documents to special counsel Weiss Serota Helfman Cole &
Bierman, for preparation of grant documents. During this process, Alan L. Gabriel, Esq. of Weiss Serota
identified that Import-Export Livestock Corp. was used interchangeably with IEF L Land Trust, owner of
both properties and that the grant application should have been submitted with IEF L Land Trust listed as
the property owner.
Mr. Gabriel, via the attached memorandum dated November 8, 2019, has recommended that the CRA
Board (i) determine that a property owner who owns one or more parcels within the CRA priority area,
may secure separate Grants for more than one parcel, and; (ii) acknowledge that the IEL Land Trust owns
two separate parcels, both located within the CRA priority area, and that the Board approval applies to
both parcels.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact.
Recommendation
That the CRA Board amend its previous July 30, 2019, approval to specify the Grants for Alex’s Flamingo
Plaza are approved for IEL Land Trust, with Arael Medina and Connie Medina, as Co-Trustees and that the
CRA Board (i) determines that a property owner who owns one or more parcels within the CRA priority
area, may secure separate Grants for more than one parcel, and; (ii) acknowledge that the IEL Land Trust
owns two (2) separate parcels, both located within the CRA priority area, and that the Board approval
applies to both parcels.
