CRA Budget City Manager Porter reviewed the CRA PowerPoint included in the agenda. The Commissioners discussed several concerns including; marketing the city, empty city buildings, the 80/20 split, the need for parking, blighted areas, the need for a CRA Director, wayfinding signage, a city mural, and the homeless issue in the city. Margaret Angell at 37724 Carter Ave., speaking on behalf of the Dade City Merchant's Association, thought since the 7th Street project got pushed back, they have gone to an alternative plan that added an element of fun downtown. Non-skid decals in front of the businesses are now being placed. Dog Mania has a paw print with a QR code. Angell will be adding a teapot in front of her business. The QR codes allow people walking on the sidewalk to know what is there. Angell also thought it was important for them to inquire about the properties soon. Altman also mentioned they are recruiting businesses to come and occupy the empty buildings and not marketing the buildings. Angell thinks a CRA Director could come in and do that. They need to sit down and have a master plan of what fund the money comes from and what they are going to do with the properties. D. PUBLIC COMMENTS D.1. Johnathan McKeen-Chaff at 13608 Whiskey Daisy Drive said 19k sounds like a crazy number for stucco work. McKeen-Chaff encouraged them to get multiple quotes. Carolyn Parrish at 14406 12th Street asked if they could recreate the Historical Preservation Advisory Council. Parrish has called some people who would like to be a part of that. E.
