3. Administrative Reports
Director Williams introduced DeAndrae Spradley, the new CRA Economic Development
Manager.
Director Williams reviewed the memo she distributed to the Board, which is attached to and
incorporated into these minutes.
Discussion ensued regarding the rebranding/airport entrance sign funding and timeline.
Director Williams noted we are looking at the rebranding funding for any additional roadway
signage.
Chairman James questioned where funding for the other entranceway signs was supposed to
have come from before the rebranding funding was established.
Marc LaFerrier, Director of Community Development, explained we were going to go out to bid
as a bid alternate for the other signs; we would have asked that the money be budgeted when it
was brought to the Commission for approval.
Discussion ensued regarding railroad crossing safety concerns and quiet zones.
Director Williams noted staff would be meeting this week with FEC regarding violations and
other issues on their property; however, we are responsible for the approach to the railway. We
will need direction from the Board for the next fiscal year to implement the engineering plan,
which the Board has already approved.
Board Member Salvino thinks we should put pressure on the FEC about the overgrowth and
debris in their right-of-way from Sheridan Street to Griffin Road, and landscaping from Stirling
Road to Sheridan Street.
Discussion ensued regarding the Arts & Seafood Celebration and the Dania After Dark events.
