R‑1: The board approved a first amendment to the interlocal agreement with Broward County to extend the term of the Fort Lauderdale Beach Community Redevelopment Area by two years to complete CRA‑funded beach projects; the resolution stated the extension does not add funding and is intended only to permit completion of existing projects.
R‑2: The board approved a resolution to increase single‑family home sales prices by 10% for homes constructed under the CRA’s scattered‑site infill housing developers (Oasis of Hope, Lemon City CDC, Fort Lauderdale Community Development Corporation and WWA Development) and delegated authority to the executive director to execute related amendments and documents.
All motions were approved by roll call vote by commissioners present (recording indicates unanimous yes votes among members present: Commissioner Sorensen, Vice Chair Glassman, Commissioner Beasley Pittman and Chair Trantalis/Chantalz — roll‑call names used as recorded).
