CRESTVIEW — The Community Redevelopment Agency Board unanimously approved a contract with the Petermann Agency for “comprehensive administrative and operations management services.”
The contract with the city, which includes a monthly $9,875 retainer, was reworked to board member JB Whitten’s satisfaction. Whitten had previously voted against the proposal because there was no guarantee the city’s current CRA director, Brenda Smith, would remain the Petermann team’s lead.
The revised contract includes a provision assuring any change of team lead would first require CRA approval.
Smith’s extended contract with the CRA board expires Friday. She will continue in virtually the same capacity, including keeping a city hall office, but as head of the Petermann Agency’s Crestview team.
