Brendan Lynch CRA Chair 920 South Lakeside Drive. I am sorry I am not able to be at this meeting. The CRA and City have been working hard to find the right solution for these properties. It was agreed to bring in a third party consultant at a significant cost to help guy us all through the process. I would like to ask the commission to follow through with approving the finding. The City has condemned certain structures. Based on this action and the attendance of three sitting City commissioners at one of our CRA meeting the CRA vote to demo these dangerous structures. The CRA board authorized me to sign a demo contract. the contractor is in for permits and I am told they are being held up. My ask is to commit to a plan and move forward together for the benefit of all. There is a very vocal group of people that live/work near these properties, but they are public properties that should benefit all, even those that are not as vocal.
