Summary
During the special Naples CRA meeting, the chair asked to meet with Lodge McKee about the Carver Apartments even though the board had previously agreed not to actively pursue affordable housing; other members and staff expressed no objection to gathering information.
The chair asked permission to meet privately with Lodge McKee to discuss the Carver Apartments, saying he wanted "to have a conversation" to learn what the owner might have in mind. The chair prefaced the request by noting that at a prior meeting the board had agreed not to actively pursue the concept of affordable housing.
A staff member responded that the agency "certainly shouldn't be afraid of information" and said there was no objection to the chair meeting with Lodge McKee to gather details. The chair confirmed that he would proceed with an informational meeting.
No public comment was recorded on the matter during the meeting, and the chair moved on to conclude other business and adjourn. The transcript does not show any formal direction to staff or a board vote related to the Carver Apartments; the exchange was a member request to seek information and was not recorded as a policy change or directive.
