Discussion and Possible Action 7.1 PATCH Master Plan - Chair James Chair James noted how important the PATCH is to the community; however, it is under-utilized. It is a small area of land, but it is important that we give proper planning to the PATCH. We have had grants and a limited PATCH staff which relies on volunteers. It needs air-conditioned storage and possibly paved parking. The City Manager has agreed; the areas around the PATCH are growing and we do not want to lose it, but instead enhance it. She is seeking Board approval to hire a consultant to create a PATCH Master Plan. Board Member Davis felt the PATCH does not have the recognition it should have, and she favors exploring a PATCH Master Plan. Board Member Lewellen noted she has concerns; there are issues there, but she is open to looking at ways to improve it. The Board consensus was for Director Chen to work with the City Manager to hire a consultant to create a PATCH Master Plan. Director Chen noted he received a certified a letter today from the Florida Department of Agriculture awarding a grant to the PATCH. 7.2 CRA-Owned Property, 509-511 NW 3rd Terrace Director Chen reviewed the information included in the agenda packet and noted the CRA staff is requesting the Board's approval to put this property up for sale via RFP. The Board consensus was to move forward with the sale of 509-511 NW 3rd Terrace via RFP. Chair James noted she had a conversation with the Finance Director and City Manager regarding putting ARPA funds aside for affordable housing and asked Director Chen to also explore use of ARPA funds for affordable housing. 8.
