Construction adviser: 2011 RDA resolution limits full remediation funding

Vineyard Redevelopment Agency · July 7, 2026

Summary

Kim Cornelius, RDA construction adviser, told the RDA she re‑read the 2011 resolution and flagged section 6, which she said indicates the agency was not intended to fully fund remediation; she and the finance adviser will co‑team to ensure board decisions align with that intent.

Kim Cornelius, the RDA’s construction‑management adviser, told the board she reviewed the 2011 RDA resolution and highlighted language she said prevents the RDA from paying the full cost of remediation. Cornelius said some past proposals appeared to use city money for work developers planned to do independently and that aligns poorly with the original intent of the 2011 plan.

Cornelius said she and the financial adviser will work together to ensure future board actions and reimbursements adhere to the resolution’s intent and avoid paying more than the RDA was meant to cover. The board accepted her reading and directed advisers to help the board evaluate requests against that standard as documents are compiled and reviewed.
