Council notes $112,000 from CRA set aside for Avila Bay development as audit continues

Port Richey City Council · September 3, 2026

Summary

Council members and staff thanked auditors and staff for preparing the budget; Acting City Manager Sal Carey said the tentative budget does not include $112,000 being taken from the CRA for the Avila Bay development and that the city is continuing its audit and preparing for November.

Council members used the Sept. 3 budget hearing to thank staff and auditors for assembling the tentative budget and to note a funding item related to a local redevelopment project.

Acting City Manager Sal Carey said, "This does not include the $112,000 that we're taking from the CRA for the Avila Bay, development." He also told the council he is "out of the office tomorrow" but will be reachable by phone or email. In remarks following the budget votes, council members praised staff and the auditing firm referred to in the transcript as "CLA."

Why it matters: the Council’s mention of a $112,000 transfer from the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) signals an allocation tied to the Avila Bay development; the transcript does not include further budget detail or a vote specifically approving that transfer during the Sept. 3 session.

Staff said the city remains within fund balance and has resolved an issue with the fire department, and they signaled preparation for November matters and completion of the audit.
