The City of Eustis Community Redevelopment Agency board voted unanimously to accept its annual financial audit during a brief session, with staff calling the report a routine, statutory requirement.

Lori (Finance Department staff) told the board, “what you have before you is really just a formality. The CRA state statute requires that we have a several audit for the CRA, and this is those are financial statements.” She said the auditors would be present at 6:00 p.m. to answer any questions.

The motion to accept the financial audit was moved and seconded during the meeting; the board took a roll-call vote. Mr. Holland, Mr. Osbodie, Ms. Lee and Chairman Hawkins each voted "aye," and the audit was approved. The meeting record does not specify which board member formally moved or seconded the acceptance.

Board discussion on the item was minimal. Lori described the filing and the auditors' scheduled availability; there were no substantive questions or objections recorded in the transcript. Lori also said an additional agenda item originally planned for the meeting had been moved to a different date.

The board paused business shortly afterward; the meeting was recessed at 5:04 p.m. with the body to reconvene at 5:30 p.m.
