SUMMARY:
Since inception, the CRA’s activities and administrative services have been provided by employees of the City of Pensacola through an Interlocal Agreement for Administrative Services. On July 11, 2016, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) took an action to amend the interlocal agreement and its bylaws, in order to directly employ and supervise its staff.
New Mayoral/City Council strategic initiatives, aimed at improving City efficiency and interdepartmental collaboration, support a return to the previous staffing arrangement. The attached revisions to the Bylaws will align the CRA’s procedures with these staffing goals and with changes to the interlocal agreement.
