Votes at a glance: Lake Wales CRA approves minutes, contract extension, Smokin' DJ's addendum and two façade grants
Summary
The board approved the prior meeting minutes, a 90-day extension for the Lake Wales Main Street agreement, a third addendum for Smokin' DJ's, and two façade grants; all votes were conducted by voice and recorded as approved in the meeting transcript.
The City of Lake Wales Community Redevelopment Agency board took several procedural and funding actions during the meeting, approving minutes, extending a contract, adopting a restaurant incentive addendum, and approving two façade grants.
The board approved the minutes from the prior meeting by voice vote. The board then approved a 90-day extension of the agreement with Lake Wales Main Street Inc.; staff said the extension would allow time to finalize a draft contract for review. Later, the board approved a third addendum to the Smokin' DJ's restaurant incentive to change unit numbers to reflect the space where construction occurred. The meeting concluded with approvals of two historic façade grants: up to $50,000 for 122 North First Street and a $17,350 reimbursement for Yeoman’s Feed & Seed.
All listed actions were approved by voice vote in the meeting record; the transcript records affirmative “aye” responses but does not include roll-call vote tallies or named mover/second for most motions.
