CHAIRMAN VIEWPOINTS
Chairman Thompson commented that demolitions remain an ongoing issue, some existing for 15-20 years or more, causing significant despair. Chairman Thompson wants to seek approval to present to the FPRA Board changes to the rules and regulations concerning the time frame for property owners to undertake repairs or face property condemnation; to be decided on a case-by-case basis. Chairman Thompson requested to discuss this further during the July CRA meeting.
