RDA Board 11-20-18

Agenda, Minutes, Audio, Video

• The board heard the annual RDA Financial Repost, present by LYRB Inc,
  • After the report I expressed my concern for the West Bench RDA area and its impending deadline to trigger the approved budget.  If we’re unsuccessful in triggering this budget and unable to negotiate an extension with the taxing entities for the trigger date it would be a devastating blow to redevelopment efforts on the west bench of Riverdale.  It would also mean a great deal of hard work (negotiating and gaining approval of the budget) down the drain.  This conversation takes place between 36:39-39:00 on this video.
  • The response didn’t exactly bolster my confidence.
