4. CRA Workshop
Jeremy Earle, CRA Director, introduced Kim Briesemeister, MetroStrategies, Inc., and CRA
Director for the City of West Palm Beach, and David Cardwell, Florida Redevelopment
Association Legal Counsel.
Kim Briesemeister, MetroStrategies, Inc., commended the Board for hiring Jeremy Earle as the
CRA Director.
David Cardwell, Florida Redevelopment Association Legal Counsel, noted it is important to
understand the history of CRA's, especially since we are in a Charter County. He stressed the
importance that a CRA is a separate entity from the City; it is a dependant Special District and
subject to F.S. 189, as well as F.S. 163, Part III. Mr. Cardwell explained that unlike a City, a
CRA can acquire property and then sell or lease it to a private entity for a fair value. He
cautioned that redevelopment has been viewed as one of the best urban programs, however, any
project or program a CRA wishes to undertake must be outlined in the Community
Redevelopment Plan. Mr. Cardwell advised that eminent domain can only be used for public
development, not for private development.
Mr. Cardwell stated that CRA plans should be reviewed every five years, and the best plans are
flexible. He explained that the CRA Board is different from the City Commission, even though
they are the same people, and the City Commission is the Governing Body.
Ms. Briesemeister presented a PowerPoint overview on organizing and managing a CRA, which
is attached to and incorporated into these minutes. She stressed that decisions should not be
political in a CRA, and if it is not a good business decision in a CRA, you should not do it. Ms.
Briesemeister suggested that the City contribute the funds that would be allowed if we were a
TIF CRA into the CRA fund.
Board Member Jones left the meeting at 7:10 p.m.
Ms. Briesemeister noted that Code Enforcement is important to CRA operations. However, it is
a policy decision as to how they should act, but they are a key component.
