to potential termination of the agreement due to the very unlikely possibility of

Update on DRI Process
Mr. Donmez noted that the Regional Planning Council had met and discussed the
Downtown Coral Springs Development of Regional Impact (DRI) at its meeting
of January 3, 2005. He noted that two potential major issues relative to the DRI process
would likely be transportation matters and affordable housing. The Board discussed
housing affordability matters in relation to the proposed redevelopment of the downtown
area. Mr. Ruffin noted that some of the affordable housing matters might be related to
perception, rather than the reality of the marketplace.
Mr. Donmez noted that the proposed ordinances related to the DRI would take place
during March 2005. He said that the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the DRI
would also go back to the Broward County Commission for approval during April 2005.
6. Requested Payment of Legal Invoices
Mr. Fischer moved, seconded by Mr. Polin, to approve the payment of two invoices to
Holland and Knight. The motion was approved (5-0).
7. Scheduling Future CRA Board Meetings
Following a brief discussion, the initial consensus was to possibly hold the Board’s future
meetings on the third Monday of each month. Mr. Fischer suggested that the Board
consider not having meetings on the proposed meeting date if there was not much
business to consider or discuss. Mr. Ruffin said he thought this was a very good idea.
Mr. Donmez suggested that City staff could contact the Board a week in advance of each
meeting to determine whether or not a meeting would be required. Mr. Donmez stated
that the proposal would be to not cancel two successive meetings.
Mr. Fischer moved, seconded by Mr. Polin, that future CRA Board meetings only be held
only when needed, but never to cancel two successive meetings. The motion was
approved unanimously (5-0).

District regarding the payment of tax increments. Ms. Delegal noted that discussions had
