CRA board re‑elects chair and vice chair, approves minutes with amendments
Summary
The board re‑elected its leadership—Carlos Benitez remained chair and Dr. Michael Perelman remained vice chair—approved minutes with amendments after a member questioned an inaccurate attendance entry, and adjourned at 07:11.
Carlos Benitez was re‑nominated for chair and accepted the nomination; the board confirmed his continuation by voice vote after a second, and Doctor Michael Perelman was re‑nominated and confirmed as vice chair.
A board member raised a concern that the May minutes incorrectly said he attended a ribbon‑cutting he did not attend and asked whether AI had transcribed the minutes. Staff replied the minutes are scribed by city staff and that CivicPlus tools are used only to assist staff; staff offered to amend the minutes to note the member did not attend and to include clarifying language in the public record.
The chair moved to approve the minutes with the offered amendments; the motion was seconded and approved. At the meeting’s close the chair moved to adjourn, the motion was seconded and the meeting adjourned at 07:11.
Procedural note: staff and board members agreed to capture the CIP discussion and any substantial policy direction with clearer wording in the minutes so that absent members and the public have an accurate record of significant changes in board intent.
