Jeremy Earle, CRA Executive Director, explained the purpose of tonight's Special Meetings. He
noted that last Friday we submitted an application to Broward County to receive $1 M from the
Redevelopment Capital Program(RCP) funds for a roadway construction project. Director Earle
indicated that Cathy Randazzo, Director of the Broward County Planning and Redevelopment
Division, advised that a Fifth and Sixth Amendment needed to be executed by the CRA and the
City, so that these items could be included in the February 22, 2011, County agenda.
Vice-Chairman Castro motioned to excuse the absence of Board Member Grace; seconded
by Board Member Duke. The motion carried unanimously.
Bill Salim, CRA Special Counsel, presented a copy of the proposed Sixth Amendment to the
Board members, which extends the expiration of the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) from February
22 to March 1, 2011. He noted a Seventh Amendment to the ILA will also need to be submitted
to the County setting the mechanism to fund the additional $1 M, irrespective of when we draw
the funds. Attorney Salim advised he understands that the County will deny any component that
pertains to landscaping. He also commented that there might be a problem with the expected
time of completion of this project. Attorney Salim stated that the real issue tonight is that even if
the documents are signed, we have no assurances that the County will approve the Fifth
Amendment. He explained that the Commission previously approved the Fifth Amendment on
January 25, 2011, for the amount of$273,790.00 for the gate-arm entry system. Attorney Salim
further noted that on February 8, 2011, Attorney Moskowitz informed the Commission that the
County approved the Fifth Amendment subject to two changes: the expiration date and the
deletion of the forfeiture clause with respect to the $1 M. The County now objects to the removal
of the forfeiture clause. He pointed out that if we do not deliver a signed document tomorrow,
this item will not be placed on the February 22 County agenda. Attorney Salim requested the
Board approve the Fifth Amendment with the redlining. He noted that the top of page 5 of the
Fifth Amendment shows the forfeiture language which he deleted. The County states that they
are not necessarily disagreeing that the language should be deleted but that it should be
"tweaked". Attorney Salim asked the Board to approve the document in substantial form with
the right to "tweak"the forfeiture provision.
Vice-Chairman Castro motioned to approve the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the ILA,
with the CRA Counsel recommendations; seconded by Board Member Duke.
