Pierce, City Clerk Date / MEMORANDUM July 01, 2025 TO: Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board FROM: Darrell Starling, CRA Director SUBJECT: Office Space at the Washington Improvement Group Facility SYNOPSIS: The purpose of this request is to use office space at the Washington Improvement Group Facility and pay the utility costs and internet services. RECOMMENDATION Iti is recommended that the CRA Board consider the following action(s) 1. Approve the CRA Director to have office space in the Washington Improvement Group facility and pay the utilities costs and internet services in the amount of $350.00 per month. 2. Authorize the CRA Director to enter into an agreement with Washington Improvement Group to pay utility costs and internet services for 12 months. BACKGROUND In January 2025, the CRA Director was appointed to lead the revitalization efforts in the North Port St. Joe Redevelopment Area. Since then, the Director has actively engaged the community by holding meetings at the Washington Improvement Group facility, strategically located in the heart of the neighborhood. Establishing an office directly within this community would greatly enhance accessibility for residents, business owners, developers, and other key stakeholders. This initiative would not only foster collaboration but also demonstrate a strong commitment to the community's growth and development.
