The executive director for the Community Redevelopment Agency will now have a direct supervisor and that would be Bartow’s City Manager.

The CRA board voted 5-0 Wednesday to approve an interlocal agreement that would make the executive director of the board work directly for the city manager. Board Members Tina Spath and Joanne Stidham were not present and did not vote. The Bartow City Council voted at its meeting last week to OK the interlocal agreement and with this vote by the CRA board it becomes official.
