Memorandum
DATE: 5/28/2024
TO: Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Chair, Vice Chair, Board
Members
FROM: Michael Chen, Executive Director
SUBJECT: FY2024 CRA Budget Workshop
Request:
Due to the adoption of the 2023 CRA Plan, we have updated and fresh goals and priorities. A
table of the CRA Plan’s Section 9.1: Identify, Evaluate and Prioritize Projects is attached for
your reference. The Plan, coupled with my understanding of the Board’s interests and priorities,
served as the guide to my draft budget.
It should be noted that I have not yet discussed or reviewed this draft of the budget with Finance,
as I need some Board direction on some of the ideas I have for the FY2025 Budget.
Some of the highlights of my FY2025 Draft Budget (copy attached) are:
• Fund transfer and wage/benefits accounts reflect FY2024 values as place holders. These
accounts will be updated to reflect the final budget.
• The FY2024 Budget is included to provide a line-item cost comparison with my FY2025
Draft Budget.
• The current draft reflects reduced expenses of $85,000.
• I have a reorganization strategy that, with Board approval, will further reduce expenses by
approximately $35,000.
• The PATCH water expense is reduced to reflect the conversion to well water.
• The Budget reflects the lease for 25 N Federal Hwy is not renewed.
We look forward to the Workshop discussion and Board direction to finalize the FY2025 CRA
Budget.
