The board also unanimously approved a quotation for decorative concrete for the Robina Placemaking Project, whose concrete work may be delayed until July by a neighboring theatre’s water-line installation.

The approved DDA budget includes mismatched figures for property tax revenue, event sponsorships and fees, memberships and dues, advertising and marketing, and the executive director’s salary and benefits. The Finance Department attributed the differences to data-entry errors; individual amounts can be corrected later through budget amendments as long as the total budget does not increase. Robina Plaza work can proceed on components not dependent on the concrete, while the board deferred a decision on moving its June meeting.
