Proposals include a workshop series covering workforce readiness, financial resources, and economic self-sufficiency, and health and wellness initiatives including health insurance enrollment assistance and mental health referrals. Other potential programs explored include first-time homebuyer assistance, rent/homeowner stabilization, and TIF rebates for affordable housing projects. Staff is seeking general direction from the Board. Discussion on Spring Hill Sewer Infrastructure. The CRA area has had sewer installed over two decades, but some areas still lack gravity sewer. A utility consultant, Mead & Hunt, provided cost estimates for a phased approach. Phase 1 (lowest cost) is estimated at $2.8 million, Phase 2 at $6.5 million, and Phase 3 at $12.8 million. The total for all phases is over $22 million. The CRA has $1.5 million in reserves, with an anticipated $500,000 rollover, totaling approximately $2 million available. Staff is seeking direction on moving forward with a phase or establishing a reserve account. If a phase is chosen, design and bidding will follow. [910 S. Adelle Avenue] Discussion regarding the parcel at 910 S. Adelle Avenue. The lot is currently zoned municipal and is impervious due to overflow issues. Public comment included urging the CRA to sell or lease the land to a church for overflow parking. The board favored continued City/CRA ownership for overflow parking for the church and other area businesses, including the Dr. Joyce M. Cusack Resource Center, with minimal cost.
