MEMORANDUM TO: CRA Board Member FROM: Ginger Corless, AICP, CPRP Deputy Development Services Director/CRA Administrator DATE: June 02, 2020 RE: CRA Website The CRA's website was created as an overlay to the Lakeshore Center's webpage as a way to economically manage the website through the City's contract with CivicPlus. Based on several reasons, the Parks & Recreation Department developed a standalone website for the Lakeshore Center. In doing this, the CRA was given the opportunity to create a cleaner functioning website that is tied to the ocoee.org website. Support Services is assisting the CRA by working closely with CivicPlus to create a dynamic website that provides cleaner access to important documents and better defines the CRA as a City Agency. On page two (2) is an image of what the site will look like once it has been relocated and launched later this month. Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, Part III and 189.069 requires all special districts to maintain an official website with specified content. The Ocoee CRA Website includes the following information in order to meet required specifications: • Information about the Ocoee CRA including enabling legislation and the Redevelopment Plan and other Planning Documents • Purpose statement • Vision • Meeting dates • CRA Boundary Map with written description • Annual Report • CRA Budgets • Projects City of Ocoee CRA • 150 North Lakeshore Drive • Ocoee, Florida 34761 phone: (407) 905-3100 • fax: (407) 905-3167 • www.ocoeecra.com I Website June 2, 2020 Page 1 2 CP ""'Pi, a, .i At— i CRA P,.I RO,-(,"d .RWdi, iirg rt A P...
