Lake Alfred CRA approves consent agenda and files annual report under state law

The Lake Alfred Community Redevelopment Agency unanimously approved its consent agenda at a Feb. 17 meeting, including the CRA Annual Report required by state law. Chair Mac Fuller called the meeting to order at 9:14 PM and the board completed a roll call before taking up the consent items.

The report, prepared pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and s. 163.387(8), includes the most recent complete audit of the redevelopment trust fund, performance data for each authorized plan as of Dec. 31, project starts and completions with estimated costs, assessed-property values for the CRA area, and total amounts expended on affordable housing for low- and middle-income residents. City staff summarized those statutory reporting requirements during the presentation.

Chair Mac Fuller opened the floor for public comment and, hearing none, Chair Fuller moved proceedings forward. Board Member Jack Dearmin moved to approve the consent agenda; Board Member Brent Eden seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The approval formally files the annual report as required and records the minutes from Nov. 3, 2025.

No specific dollar totals or project-level line items beyond the statutory reporting categories were discussed at the meeting; where the transcript did not specify additional figures, the report’s detailed breakout is not specified in the meeting record.

The board then turned to other business and later voted to award a bid for the Haines Boulevard Downtown Streetscape Project. The CRA adjourned at 9:23 PM.
