Board of County Commissioners	11/4/2009	11A3 AMENDED	Adopted as amended				P
REPORT:	Commissioner Jordan noted this proposed resolution should be amended to add the following language: “WHEREAS, on October 21, 2009, the Board of Commissioners of the CRA voted unanimously in support of conducting a finding of necessity study for the expansion of the CRA boundaries.” Commissioner Martinez noted that, at this time, the County needed the large amount of money that the Community Redevelopment Agencies were taking. He explained that he would not support this proposal. Commissioner Gimenez concurred with Commissioner Martinez, however, he would support this proposal since this issue would come before the Board before any changes were made to the Community Redevelopment Agency boundary. Hearing no other questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote on this proposed resolution as amended by Commissioner Jordan.
