CRA ENABLES CITY HALL, LIBRARY UPGRADES TO PROCEED

CRA ENABLES CITY HALL, LIBRARY UPGRADES TO PROCEED

Jean Rigg

Dale Register presided over the monthly meeting of city commissioners in their role as directors of Cedar Key`s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), Tuesday evening, August 7, at City Hall.

The sole action item on this month`s CRA agenda was formalization of a practice whereby the CRA has advanced funds to the city of Cedar Key in order to cover completion of projects for which the city is awaiting grant monies - in this instance, energy grant funds needed to complete pending upgrades to City Hall and the Library.

Under the terms of the city`s energy grant, work on approved projects must be completed within an agreed-upon time period; however, last year`s change of administration in Tallahassee, coupled with the city`s decision to replace its original grants administrator, has delayed project-by-project release of grant funds to the city.

The good news, CRA Chair Register announced, is that the state`s energy program grants administrator has agreed to extend the pending project term to end September 30 rather than August 31. However, even with the extension, it`s not likely that Tallahassee will get project funds to the city before completion of the pending work on City Hall and the Library.

After discussion, Commissioner Scott Dennison`s motion to advance funds to a maximum amount of $55,000 was seconded and passed by a three-to-one vote. Commissioners Sue Colson and Dale Register joined Commissioner Dennison in voting for the motion. Commissioner Gene Hodges voted against the motion. Commissioner Dave Feigin was not present.
