CRA Resolutions — 2025 (TOECRA Board of Directors)
Source & fidelity note. These resolutions were reconstructed from scanned PDFs that have no text layer (pure image scans). Each page was rendered to a 300-DPI PNG and run through Tesseract OCR; every operative field — resolution number, full title, adoption date, dollar amounts, proper names, addresses, and statutory citations — was then verified by reading the page images directly (OCR was used only as a cross-check, and the image governed in every disagreement). Obvious OCR/scan artifacts were corrected silently; genuine drafting errors in the adopted documents are preserved verbatim and marked
[sic]with a> [Editor's note]rather than normalized. Financial tables and multi-page attached exhibits (budget schedules, agreements, program guidelines, drawings, photos) are not transcribed — each is described in a> [Editor's note]with its PDF page range and listed inResolutions-VERIFICATION.md. Resolution numbers in the Index are normalized to canonicalCRA-R-YYYY-Nform; a few documents print the number with a typo (e.g., omitting the "-R-") — each section heading shows the number as printed, and all anomalies, confidence levels, and items to retain are detailed inResolutions-VERIFICATION.md.

WHEREAS the TOE CRA Board of Directors desire to update the 1997 CRA Plan and maintain the existing CRA District as established; and
WHEREAS the TOE CRA Board of Directors acknowledges that the agency has conducted two public hearings and one public forum seeking community input as to the recommended 2025 CRA Plan Update; and
WHEREAS the TOE CRA Board of Directors wishes to express its support for the 2025 CRA Plan update and recommend to the Town of Eatonville Town Council formally adopt the 2025 CRA Plan Update; and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN OF EATONVILLE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT THE 2025 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN UPDATE IS HEREBY AMENDED TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2047 [sic], AS SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED HERETO, AND THE LANGUAGE CONTAINED IN "EXHIBIT A" SHALL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLAN.
SECTION 1. The Board of Directors does hereby find, based upon information presented to the Board of Directors at the public hearing, the proposed update to the Community Redevelopment Area Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A", that the Plan Update:
a) Conforms to the Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Eatonville pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act;
b) The CRA Plan Update conforms to the general plan of the municipality as a whole;
c) The CRA Plan Update will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the municipality as a whole, for the rehabilitation or redevelopment of the Community Redevelopment Area by public and private enterprise.
SECTION 2. That the Community Redevelopment Agency recommended to the Board of Directors an updated Community Redevelopment Plan, and the Board of Directors, finding it necessary or desirable to update such Plan, does hereby amend the Community Redevelopment Plan as attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference. Said Amended Community Redevelopment Plan is hereby adopted as authorized by the Community Redevelopment Act, as amended, Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes.
SECTION 3. The Community Redevelopment Agency is hereby authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Plan Update upon approval of the Town Council and Board of County Commissioners.
SECTION 4. If it becomes necessary or desirable to subsequently amend or modify the Updated Plan, the Board of Directors may amend such plan upon the recommendation of the Community Redevelopment Agency. The Board of Directors shall hold a public hearing on the proposed modifications to the Community Redevelopment Plan after public notice thereof by publication in a newspaper having a general circulation in the area of operation of the Community Redevelopment Agency. The Board of Directors may adopt an amended plan by resolution.
SECTION 5. Severability. In the event that any portion or section of this resolution is determined to be invalid, illegal or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall in no manner affect the remaining portions or sections of this resolution which shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the Palatka City Commission [sic].
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TOE CRA OF EATONVILLE, FLORIDA ON THIS 26th DAY OF June 2025. — (signed) Chair (date handwritten 6-27-25); attest (signed) Town Clerk; Approved as to form and correctness (signed) CRA Attorney (date 7/15/2025).
[Editor's note] Number-form discrepancy: the image title reads "RESOLUTION CRA-2025-24" — the family's usual "-R-" infix is missing (filename/working key is CRA-R-2025-24). The sequence number 24 and year 2025 match the key; only the format differs.
Internal date discrepancy preserved with [sic]: the title says the plan is extended "TO DECEMBER 31, 2045," but the operative NOW THEREFORE clause says "THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2047." Both figures are as printed in the source image; they are not reconciled here.
Erroneous boilerplate preserved with [sic]: SECTION 6 reads "upon its adoption by the Palatka City Commission" — wrong jurisdiction (this is the Town of Eatonville / TOE CRA), an obvious copied-template error. Preserved as printed.
Signature block: the execution lines carry signatures over role labels only — "Chair," "Town Clerk," and "CRA Attorney" — no typed names are printed beside them. The Chair signature visually resembles Angie Gardner's but no name is typed, so only the role is recorded. The printed adoption date is the 26th day of June 2025; the Chair's handwritten signing date is 6-27-25 and the CRA Attorney's date is 7/15/2025.
Exhibit "A" (the 2025 CRA Plan Update) is referenced as attached hereto but is NOT present in this 2-page PDF — only the resolution body (pages 1–2) is in the source file; the Plan Update document itself is incorporated by reference and is not transcribed here.
