# TOECRA REGULAR MEETING 9/17/26

The Town of Eatonville Community Redevelopment Agency’s regular meeting on September 17, 2026, included discussion of an RFP for a single-family housing project (identified in the transcript as CRA-RFP 2026-853). Staff said the procurement remained open and provided bid-return amounts, but the board did not award a contract. Residents questioned whether competitive bids had been obtained and approved, and raised concerns about project costs and an allegedly unauthorized vendor agreement; claims that six homes could cost about $300,000 each and that a vendor was to receive $25,000 per home were presented as public comments, not verified board findings. The board tabled the policies and procedures item.

The board considered Resolution CRA-R2026-44, the FY 2026–27 operating and capital budget, initially totaling $5,612,448.32. After discussion of a disputed amount associated with the CRA-town debt/receivable, the board amended the budget to remove approximately $892,086, reducing the total to about $4.72 million, and approved it by roll-call vote, with one member opposed. The budget was needed for the town’s upcoming budget hearing. No housing contract award or other procurement approval was recorded.
