The CRA serves an area of approximately 1,650 acres. On October 1, 2002, the CRA was given independent status by the City of Boynton Beach and is controlled by a CRA Board. The CRA Board also serves as Mayor and Commissioners of the City of Boynton Beach. The CRA is soliciting the services of a consulting firm to provide Executive Director Services to the CRA for a period of two (2) years with the option of a one (1) year renewal. The CRA expects the Executive Director services to include an Executive Director position to serve as a full-time in-house consultant. The Executive Director position manages the day-to- day operations of the CRA. The Executive Director is a highly responsible position that oversees a wide variety of redevelopment and economic development activities that include fiscal operations, policy making, capital project administration, BBCRA program management, redevelopment plan implementation, property acquisition, business incentives, new business development, business attraction and retention, special business promotion activities as well as the management and maintenance of BBCRA-owned properties.

Price Proposal: The Price Proposal Score shall be calculated as follows: s = [1 – (b-a)] x 25 a Where: a = annual dollar cost amount of lowest Price Proposal b = annual dollar cost amount of Price Proposal to be rated s = Price Proposal score (rounded to the nearest 10th of a point) The basis for evaluation of the Price Proposals will be set at the annual dollar cost amount of the lowest priced Price Proposal, i.e. “a.” The lowest Price Proposal will receive the maximum score (25 points). All other Price Proposals will be compared to the lowest Compensation/Price Proposal, i.e., “b.” 19 13 4920-1428-4127, v. 1 5. Final Score and Ranking: After the Technical Qualifications Score is calculated, the Price Proposal scores will be calculated using the formula above. The Price Proposal score will then be added to the Technical Qualifications Score to determine the final score. The highest ranked Proposer will be the Proposer with the highest Final Score. 6. Final Selection. The CRA Board will select the highest-ranked qualified firm.

With decades of experience planning, managing, and transforming community redevelopment agencies across Florida, RMA has a proven track record of turning visions into thriving, competitive urban districts including downtowns and neighborhoods. EXPERIENCE IN CRA MANAGEMENT RMA has successfully managed multiple CRAs, bringing measurable economic growth and vibrancy to their districts: f West Palm Beach CRA – Management, 2012-present f Pompano Beach CRA – Management, 2009-2017 f Dania Beach CRA – Management, 2009-2013 f North Miami Beach – Management, 2010-present In addition, RMA’s principles, Christopher J. Brown and Kim Briesemeister, have held Executive Director roles at the Delray Beach CRA, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach CRAs – providing for the first time unmatched leadership, experience, and execution. f Delray Beach CRA - Executive Director, 1991-2000 (Christopher Brown) f Hollywood CRA - Executive Director, 1995-2000 (Kim Briesemeister) f Fort Lauderdale CRA - Executive Director, 2000-2005 (Kim Briesemeister) f West Palm Beach CRA - Executive Director, 2005-2012 (Kim Briesemeister) CORE SERVICE AREAS RMA offers a full spectrum of redevelopment services that Boynton Beach CRA can leverage to achieve its strategic objectives: 1. Agency Management – Decades of direct CRA management experience and execution. 2. Marketing and Branding – positioning CRAs to residents, visitors, and businesses through campaigns, press releases, image banners, and place based branding 3. Public Engagement – Facilitating meaningful community input with trained specialists. 4. Business Attraction – recruiting restaurants, retailers, and employers that strengthen downtown and CRA district economies. 5. Economic Development Services - strategic planning, market research, economic analysis, and marketing plans. 6. Project Management Services – beginning to end implementation of redevelopment initiatives. 7. Financial Planning and 5-year Strategic 5-Year Plans - projection of 5 years of estimated Tax Increment (TIF) and other income revenues, expenses, capital expenditures, and bond issue proceeds that assist in controlling costs and allows for contingencies. RMA writes annual reports for the CRAs, a document that is distributed to the State of Florida and the CRAs’ taxing authorities, such as the city and county. 8. Historic Preservation Services - evaluation of historic structures utilizing the Historic American Building Survey methodology, moving historic building to save them from demolition and placing them in a new location to be adapted to a new use such as retail or restaurant or office. 9. Parking Supply and Demand Studies and Parking Ordinances Services - increase the viability of a downtown area that has a sufficient supply of parking to meet the parking demands of consumers, business owners, and employees working in the CRA redevelopment district. RMA recently wrote the parking ordinance for the City of West Palm Beach and for the City of Pompano Beach. Furthermore, RMA assisted the City of Pompano Beach in creating a separate Enterprise Fund for Parking so that the city could save its revenues to acquire land for parking and for building new garages. 10. Land Acquisition Services - RMA has provided land acquisition services to its city clients including Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, Mount Dora, Delray Beach, and others. Land acquisition is a very important tool for CRAs, since they can assemble properties, aggregate them, propose a plan and dispose of the property by issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP). Since the Boynton Beach CRA owns land for redevelopment, they can control the use and quality of the buildings to be built, essentially guaranteeing good architecture and site planning. Quality of buildings is a very important ingredient for CRAs to emphasize, since it can attract high quality tenants and residents to the area. 11. Urban Design Services - RMA is equipped to draw up schemes for proposed projects, usually owned by the CRA, for the Board to review and provide valuable input. The firm’s urban design experience can also assist in evaluating any proposals that developers make resulting from an RFP or from a private petition to build a project. RMA is a strong believer in making streets and sidewalks attractive that create on-street parking, properly lighted, wide sidewalks and readable signage that promotes walking. 73 12. Comprehensive Plan and Code Writing Services - Redevelopment requires that comprehensive plans and zoning codes must be updated frequently to keep up with the changes in the market. Recently RMA assisted Pompano Beach with two code changes that allowed buildings to receive bonus height, if the multi-family developer created two floors of public parking totaling a minimum of 100 parking spaces. RMA also joined the Pompano Beach planning department in eliminating the concept of density in multifamily building if the project was within walking distance of a major employer. 13. Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) Formation - Utilized to enhance downtown retailing particularly for managing events to attract consumers to downtown retail. RMA assisted the City of Naples with creating a business improvement district in their downtown CRA, spending $1,500,000 on downtown marketing and events. In West Palm Beach the CRA grants over $2,500,000 to the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority to support downtown retailing. 14. Florida Main Street Creation Services – Proven success in revitalizing commercial corridors, particularly historic ones, attracting investment and spurring tourism. Mr. Brown created a Florida Main Street program for the City of Delray Beach that was highly successful in turning around the blight and high vacancy rates for a four block area, NE 2nd Avenue. Today because of the Florida Main Street program, the area improvements included street beautification, the elimination of the majority of vacancies, the development of an art in public places program, the attraction of over two dozen restaurants, and the building of two major hotels (Hyatt Place and a Hilton 4 star hotel). 15. Art in Public Places – creation of outdoor public art program and cultural destinations. Mr. Brown created a Florida Main Street Program including an Art in Public Places on NE 2nd Avenue in Delray Beach. The art program inspired art galleries to move into the main street area, followed by the Delray Beach CRA purchasing a large warehouse that was converted into a public art center called the “Art Warehouse.” 16. Infrastructure improvements and Beautification – alley redevelopment, underground utilities, street tree landscaping, and curbless streets are part of RMA’s pallet for street beautification. RMA strongly believes in the concept of “Complete Streets,” a design concept that includes wide sidewalks, underground utilities, outstanding landscaping, bicycle lanes, streetlights, street signage, and other enhancements. RMA built curbless roadways in two CRAs, West Palm Beach’s Clematis Street and Pompano Beach’s historic Old Town. The result was that the street appeared to be a plaza for people not automobiles. 17. CRA Redevelopment Plan Services – RMA brings extensive experience to Boynton Beach CRA and has always updated the CRA Redevelopment Plans of its CRA management clients, since there is no other entity as knowledgeable of the as the CRA staff. RMA has prepared all the plans for its management clients, including Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Pompano Beach, and North Miami Beach. Having an updated, fresh plan that is filled with creative ideas can produce a better redevelopment result. 18. CRA Project Specific Action Plans Services – RMA prepares prioritization and budgeting tools for efficient implementation. For example, RMA recently completed an eight-project Action Plan for the Bartow CRA (attached herein). The purpose of the Action Plan is to prioritize the projects with the approval of the CRA Board. The Action Plan is then inserted in the CRA 5-year Finance Plan. In the case of Bartow’s Action Plan, the process indicated that a medium sized bond issue should be issued to meeting implementation dates. SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS To answer the question of how RMA’s experience would benefit the Boynton Beach CRA, one could drive through RMA cities to visually understand what they look like after the firm and its principals have operated a CRA. Their track record has no equal. If you look at Delray Beach, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, these cities are booming with consumers, residents, new businesses and tourists. Their hotels are full and the non-cra taxable property (the city areas outside of their cra), are catching the tail wind of the CRAs resulting in rapidly rising taxable income for the cities. Today Delray Beach is going through a major building boom in townhouses, condominiums, women’s apparel and personal services, and restaurants, which attract tourists and new and local residents. The result is higher tax base for both the CRA and city. No builder is interested in building rental apartments anymore in Delray Beach, only for-sale housing, which only strengthens the community with new homeowners. Likewise West Palm Beach’s CRA is also in a boom period of housing, office and retailing that includes both for-sale housing as well as upscale multi-family rental apartments. 13 | TAB 2 | FIRM’S QUALIFICATIONS 74 75 Recommendations Rendering of Potential Food HallRendering of New Mixed-Use Development Rendering of New Multi-story Development 15 | TAB 2 | FIRM’S QUALIFICATIONS 76 77 f Currie Park RMA is serving as the project manager for the Currie Park redevelopment project, a 13.6-acre park located along the Intracoastal Waterway, just 2 miles north of downtown West Palm Beach. The redesign of the park is being led by architectural and engineering firm Chen Moore and Associates, with construction set to begin in the spring of 2025. The City estimates the full project cost at $37 million, which will be funded through a combination of state grant funding, Currie Park tax dollars, the City’s discretionary funding, and park bond dollars. The Florida Department of Commerce has provided significant grant funding and final approval for both the award and construction contract. The redevelopment aims to transform Currie Park into a lively, accessible gathering place, with a cafe and event programming tailored to the local community’s desires. RMA is ensuring the project’s success, helping to create a space that will enhance the park’s role as a key destination for residents and visitors alike. f Broadway Mixed Use Redevelopment is a transformative initiative aimed at revitalizing the north end of the City of West Palm Beach. This development will blend residential, retail, and office spaces, enhancing the local economy with modern architecture, improved streetscapes, and green spaces. Spanning from 24th to 59th Street, the Broadway Corridor is a key area for renewal and community-driven transformation. RMA is working with the WPB CRA, Dover Kohl & Partners, and FDOT on initiatives like redrafting land development regulations and a “road diet” project to improve pedestrian access and attract businesses. The project will foster multi-family development, enhance residential values, and support the marine industry. This revitalization will preserve the area’s historic character, promote transit-oriented development, and create a vibrant, livable environment for the community. f North Railroad Avenue (NORA) is a redevelopment project, a public-private partnership transforming a historic industrial area into a dynamic mixed-use district in West Palm Beach. This $1 billion investment will reshape the area, which spans from Quadrille Boulevard to Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard between the FEC Right of Way and Dixie Highway. Through the CRA’s Real Estate Development Incentive Agreement (REDA), the city has committed to providing a $20.8 million incentive to assist with essential infrastructure improvements such as undergrounding electrical supplies, improving drainage, and creating state-of-the- art streetscapes. The project, in collaboration with RMA project management, the West Palm Beach CRA collaborates with developers by providing incentives for streetscape development, affordable housing construction, and initiatives aimed at business attraction and job creation. While specific phases are underway, the full development, including the NORA Hotel, is slated for completion by 2025. The NORA Hotel, a key component of the project, is scheduled to open in February 2026.

The Boynton Beach CRA stands at a pivotal moment — balancing ongoing projects, preparing for an influx of new residents, and redefining its role as the city’s economic and cultural engine. RMA fully understands that the Executive Director role requires a balance of strategic leadership, operational management, financial discipline, and innovative redevelopment strategies. With over four decades of combined CRA leadership, RMA principals Kim Briesemeister and Christopher J. Brown have guided cities through similar inflection points, turning overlooked downtowns into thriving destinations. Our approach is grounded in the Executive Director duties outlined in the RFP but distinguished by a proven ability to turn vision into reality through disciplined management, creative placemaking, transparent community engagement, and relentless pursuit of investment. UNDERSTANDING OF RESPONSIBILITIES RMA’s principals bring unmatched experience as former CRA Executive Directors in Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Pompano Beach. Ms. Briesemeister has over 25 years of leadership, while Mr. Brown contributes 19 years. Together, they have executed, not just understood, every duty listed in the RFP (pages 14–16). Their leadership includes: f Managing Operations & Policy Implementation: Administering daily operations, supervising staff and consultants, carrying out CRA Board policy, and ensuring compliance with Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, Part III. f Financial & Budget Oversight: Preparing and managing multimillion- dollar budgets, leveraging public/private financing, securing federal and state grants, and overseeing compliance. f Capital Project Management: Delivering streetscapes, cultural facilities, infrastructure upgrades, and mixed-use redevelopment that transformed underutilized areas into vibrant economic engines. f Business Attraction & Incentives: Designing tailored incentive programs, negotiating developer agreements, writing RFPs for CRA-owned properties, and assisting businesses with site planning, permitting, and lease negotiations. f Community Engagement & Representation: Serving as liaisons to residents, property owners, and business stakeholders while representing CRAs at public meetings, conferences, and professional associations. f Strategic Redevelopment Planning: Drafting and updating CRA plans, tracking market shifts, and aligning redevelopment strategies with evolving community needs. Mr. Brown’s academic background provides an additional layer of expertise: a B.A. in Fine Arts and Architecture from Yale University, a Master of Architecture and a Master of City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, with coursework completed at the Wharton School of Business. DEMONSTRATED SUCCESS & RELEVANT CASE STUDIES In cities across Florida, RMA has proven its ability to meet and exceed CRA objectives: f Turning Plans into Action (Delray Beach): Chris Brown personally helped fill over 500,000 sq. ft. of vacant space on Atlantic Avenue by recruiting restaurants, galleries, and boutique retailers over a ten year period. Rents rose from $8/sf to $75/sf, establishing Delray as a premier destination. For Boynton, this means executing the same hands-on recruitment strategy to establish East Ocean Avenue as a unique food and entertainment district as well as working on other major retail corridors including Federal Highway, Boynton Beach Boulevard, and MLK Jr. Boulevard. f Managing Complex Budgets (Pompano Beach): RMA restructured budgets to prioritize land acquisition and infrastructure, catalyzing billions in private investment. Boynton Beach’s CRA can expect the same disciplined financial stewardship, particularly for catalytic projects like Boynton Beach Boulevard’s redesign. f Delivering Capital Projects: From complete streets to cultural landmarks, RMA has managed dozens of projects that improved infrastructure, safety, and aesthetics. Boynton will benefit from the same efficiency and polish in corridor beautification, complete streets, and gateway signage. f Building Public Trust: RMA’s model is rooted in proactive, transparent engagement. In RMA’s client cities, community critics became partners once their voices were integrated into the process. For Boynton, this same approach will build credibility and trust as redevelopment accelerates. 121 56 | TAB 4 | APPROACH, DEMONSTRATED SKILL SET, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS 122 PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES RMA’s priorities for Boynton Beach CRA align with its mission and community vision: 1. Vibrant Downtown Core: Position East Ocean Avenue as a signature dining and entertainment hub with a distinct brand identity, one that attracts visitors from across the region. As in Delray Beach, we envision East Ocean Avenue becoming synonymous with dining and entertainment — but with its own unique brand identity. We want Delray residents to drive to Boynton for dinner, not the other way around. Our marketing and branding team has already transformed downtowns into destinations, and we’ll bring that same energy here. Additional land acquisition along the corridor would be important to establish the arts and entertainment district. Certain uses need to be delt with by eliminating certain permitted uses in the city zoning code. 2. Prepare for Growth: Anticipate the arrival of 3,000+ new residents along Federal Highway and Seacrest by proactively recruiting businesses to meet future demand. With 3,000+ residents moving into new apartments along Federal Highway and Seacrest, downtown must be ready. RMA has seen firsthand how underestimating retail demand can leave districts underserved. Our priority will be ensuring businesses are recruited now to serve this growth. 3. Revitalize Key Corridors: Transform Boynton Beach Boulevard into a walkable, development-rich gateway, drawing on successful state road decertification strategies from Delray and Pompano. Boynton Beach Boulevard, the city’s gateway, must set the tone for the entire community. RMA’s bold idea, decertifying the state road east of I-95 to allow local design control, has already proven successful in Delray and Pompano. Those cities went from car-centric pass-throughs to walkable, development- rich corridors. Boynton Beach can achieve the same. 4. District Two Housing & Infrastructure: Recruit quality builders for infill housing, leveraging RMA’s homebuilding and land development expertise. Chris Brown’s career began in land development and homebuilding, experience that uniquely positions him to recruit quality builders for new single-family and townhouse infill projects in Boynton’s Cottage District and beyond. 5. District Three Housing & Infrastructure: the area contains several parcels of vacant property that could continue to revitalize the area, including the “6-acre +” parcel of land near the vacant Sun Trust Bank and vacant land in front of Los Mangos subdivision where Affiliated Development has proposed a large, “Live Local” project. As important is the provision of on- street parking on Federal Highway and on SE 4th Street. 6. Historic & Cultural Preservation: Integrate preservation into growth strategies, ensuring Boynton’s historic assets remain authentic community anchors. As in West Palm Beach, where RMA balanced preservation with redevelopment, we will integrate historic structures into the CRA’s growth strategy, especially in Districts 2 and 3, ensuring Boynton’s character remains authentic even as it evolves. 7. Maintain Clean & Safe Standards: Implement visible programs that ensure safe, attractive public spaces, reinforcing investor confidence and civic pride. As in West Palm Beach and Pompano Beach, RMA’s team has successfully designed and implemented clean and safe programs tailored to the area’s current needs, ensuring that CRA investments achieve their intended impact. CHALLENGES AND RMA’S SOLUTIONS f Funding Limitations: Layer CRA dollars with federal grants, developer contributions, and strategic bond issuance. RMA is known for its creativity in financing. In Pompano Beach, we combined CRA funds with federal grants and developer contributions to deliver catalytic projects. For Boynton, we’ll pursue similar layered funding strategies and reserve bonding for high-impact infrastructure and land acquisition. f Public Engagement: Use early, consistent communication to turn critics into collaborators. Our approach: engage early, engage often. In our client cities, we made sure critics were heard, often winning them over by including them in the process. That same transparency will build support in Boynton Beach. f Business Recruitment: Relocate CRA offices to East Ocean Avenue for visibility and access to retail tenant prospects. As in Delray, where Chris Brown established CRA offices on Atlantic Avenue to attract retailers, we recommend relocating CRA offices to East Ocean Avenue. Being visible in the heart of redevelopment invites walk-in conversations with entrepreneurs, developers, and the public. This move will strengthen the downtown’s momentum. f Legislative Constraints: Leverage partnerships with Florida Main Street programs, merchant associations, and nonprofits to maintain vibrancy without risking compliance. 57 | TAB 4 | APPROACH, DEMONSTRATED SKILL SET, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS 123 When the 2019 Florida Legislature further restricted CRAs from engaging in marketing and community-based events, RMA adapted by building partnerships with Florida Main Street programs, merchant associations, nonprofits, and city parks, recreation, cultural, and events departments. RMA actively participates in the Florida Redevelopment Association and continuously stays abreast of proposed legislation that could potentially limit the effectiveness of CRA’s. Boynton Beach can benefit from tested workarounds and our innovative problem-solving strategies to maintain community vibrancy without legislative risk. f Talent Recruitment & Retention: Develop staff capacity through training, accreditation, and competitive benefits, fostering a culture of respect and collaboration. RMA remains proactive in its search for skilled professionals. Inspired by Steve Jobs’ philosophy of continuously interviewing promising candidates, even without an immediate opening, RMA has adopted a similar approach to talent acquisition. RMA’s success in retaining staff lies in how it treats its employees and those working within its client cities. Key strategies include staying competitive with compensation, offering robust benefits (especially health insurance), investing in professional development, and fostering a respectful workplace culture. Training is a cornerstone of RMA’s employee development strategy. Many RMA employees are certified redevelopment professionals through the Florida Redevelopment Association. RMA also provides its own training programs and lectures related to redevelopment and has included a sample Training Proposal in this RFP. Another related challenge for CRAs is maintaining a roster of properly procured professional consultants ready to support CRA initiatives. These consultants span a wide range of disciplines, including architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, city planning, engineering, surveying, real estate appraisal services, general contracting, and property management. Because governmental procurement processes can be slow and complex, having a pre-qualified pool of professionals can significantly reduce project delays and costs. PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD RMA applies a disciplined, accountable, and transparent delivery model: f Assign a project manager for each initiative with a clear checklist and timeline. f Involve finance staff at every stage to align scope with budget. f Hold weekly staff meetings to track progress and solve problems in real time. f Provide transparent reporting to the CRA Board and public. f This approach has consistently delivered projects on time, on budget, and on vision in complex redevelopment environments. b) Cost Effectiveness of Proposed Solutions RMA’s approach to cost effectiveness is rooted in strategic prioritization, disciplined financial management, and adaptive problem-solving. f Prioritization of Projects: Maintain a clear “Top 10 Projects” list to focus staff efforts and resources, while keeping a secondary list of future priorities ready as projects near completion. f Budget Flexibility: Build contingency allowances into the annual budget to accommodate mid-year opportunities or respond to unforeseen challenges. f Rigorous Cost Controls: Compare budget estimates to evolving project costs at each stage; adjust scope, secure additional funding, or reallocate resources as needed. f Experience with Budget Realignment: Having restructured budgets in Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Pompano Beach, and North Miami Beach, RMA is adept at reshaping financial plans to align with shifting goals. f Leveraging External Funding: Proactively seek grants, partnerships, and creative financing to reduce reliance on CRA funds for major initiatives. f Phased Management: Ensure each project advances through a disciplined sequence—feasibility, design, budgeting, permitting, and implementation—with financial accountability at every step. f One guiding principle underlies RMA’s philosophy: never overextend financial or management capacity. By focusing on the most impactful projects, monitoring progress weekly, and continually analyzing costs, RMA ensures taxpayer resources are maximized, and results are delivered. CONCLUSION RMA offers Boynton Beach a rare combination of technical expertise, disciplined financial management, and creative vision. More importantly, we bring stories of transformation, Atlantic Avenue’s rebirth, Pompano Beach’s corridor revitalization, and West Palm Beach’s growing downtown — that provide real-world models for Boynton Beach’s success. We don’t just understand the scope of work; we’ve lived it, delivered it, and innovated within it. With RMA as its partner, the Boynton Beach CRA will not only achieve its redevelopment goals but also build a lasting legacy of vibrancy, economic resilience, and community pride. 58 | TAB 4 | APPROACH, DEMONSTRATED SKILL SET, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS 124 59 | TAB 4 | APPROACH, DEMONSTRATED SKILL SET, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS 125 TIF ANALYSIS BOYNTON BEACH CRA Year TIF $% Increase 2024 $21,555,333 54.7 h 2020 $13,932,896 67.5 h 2015 $8,317,868 WEST PALM BEACH DOWNTOWN CRA Year TIF $% Increase 2024 $63,443,755 62.89 h 2020 $38,947,721 53.17 h 2015 $25,427,548 WEST PALM BEACH NORTHWOOD / PLEASANT CITY Year TIF $% Increase 2024 $6,905,679 57.18 h 2020 $4,393,591 56.84 h 2015 $2,801,243 POMPANO BEACH NORTHWEST / DOWNTOWN CRA Year TIF $ (City Only)% Increase 2024 $7,979,459 71.48 h 2020 $4,653,166 78.31 h 2015 $2,609,586 POMPANO BEACH EAST CRA Year TIF $% Increase 2024 $6,088,414 55.59 h 2020 $3,913,174 57.66 h 2015 $2,481,990 RMA has provided Management and/or Staffing Services to the West Palm Beach and Pompano Beach CRA’s for more than 10 years.

On June 30, 2025, SRNA provided a Recommended Candidates Booklet that highlights four candidates that possess the necessary qualifications and experience. SRNA conducted preliminary interviews with each of these candidates and discussed in detail their professional experiences, accomplishments, strengths, backgrounds, potential employment gaps or departures, and interest in BBCRA. All four recommended candidates have Florida CRA experience, with one of them having previously worked for BBCRA (see Attachment IV). A total of 28 candidates applied for the p o s i t i o n .

The CRA Board Directed staff to negotiate with Kris Mory and bring back a employment contract for Board consideration, and an agenda item to evaluate the RFP responses on October 7, 2025 (see Attachments V & VI). On September 18, 2025, Kris Mory withdrew her interest in the Executive Director position (see Attachment VII). 207 •Attachment I - Request for Proposal from S.

Outlined below are the services we provide in our recruitment process. DEVELOPING THE CANDIDATE PROFILE Our understanding of the BBCRA’s requirements will be the foundation of a successful search. We will work directly with the BBCRA Board, staff, and others involved in the process in order to learn as much as possible about what the organization expects of a new Executive Director. We can also meet with other key staff or community members to ga ther information . We want to learn about the values and culture of the organization, as well as understand the current issues, challenges , and opportunities that face the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency . We also want to be fully acquainted with the BBCRA’s expectations regarding the knowledge, skills , and abilities sought in the ideal candidate, and we will work with your organization to identify expectations regarding education and experience. Additionally, we want to discuss expectations regarding compensation and other items necessary to complete the successful appointment of the ideal candidate. As part of this process, we will provide an evaluation of the compensation and benefits of the Executive Director position. Based on these discussions, we will develop a profile that addres ses the responsibilities, core competencies and professional characteristics and traits, education and training, operational and organization al issues, and other factors relevant to this position. The profile that we develop together at this stage will guide our recruitment efforts. ADVERTISING C AMPAIGN AND RECRUITMENT BROCHURE After gaining an understanding of the BBCRA’s needs, we will design an effective advertising campaign that is appropriate for the recruitment. We will focus on professional journals that are specifically suited to the Executive Director search, such as NAHRO, utilizing venues that will ensure a diverse pool of applicants , including qualified minority and women candidates . We will also utilize social media and will develop a professional recruitment brochure on the BBCRA’s behalf that will discuss the community, organization, position , and compensation. Once completed, we will mail the brochure to an extensive audience, making them aware of the exciting opportunity with the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency . RECRUITING CANDIDATES After cross-referencing the profile of the ideal candidate with our database of thousands of candidates and our contacts in the field, we will conduct an aggressive outreach effort that includes making personal calls to prospective applicants in order to identify and recruit outstanding candidates, including qualified minority and women candidates . We realize that the best candidate is often not looking for a new job , and this is the person that we actively pursue to become a candidate. Aggressively marketing the Executive Director position to prospective candidates will be essential to the success of the search. 215 S. RENÉE N ARLOCH & ASSOCIATES O UR RECRUITMENT PROCESS PAGE 4 SCREENING CANDIDATES Following the closing date for the recruitment, we will screen all resumes and cover letters using the criteria established in our initial meetings to narrow the field of candidates. PRELIMINARY INTERVIEWS We will conduct preliminary interviews with the top 10 to 12 candidates in order to determine which candidates have the greatest potential to succeed in your organization. During the interviews, we will explore each candidate’s background and experience as it pertains to the Executive Director position. In addition, we will discuss the candidate’s motivation for applying for the position and make an assessment of his/her knowledge, skills , and abilities. We will devote specific attention to determining the likelihood of the candidate’s acceptance of the position if an of fer of employment is made. PUBLIC RECORDS SEARCH Following the interviews, we will conduct a review of published articles that reference each candidate. Various sources will be consulted , including Lexis-Nexis™, a newspaper/magazine search engine, Google, and local papers from the communities in which the candidates have worked. This brings to our attention any further detailed inquiries that we may need to make at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the information gathered through meetings with your organization and preliminary interviews with candidates, we will typically recommend three to five candidates for your consideration. We will prepare a report on each candidate that focuses on the results of our interviews and public record searches , to include detailed information pertaining to the candidates’ professional experiences and accomplishments, strengths and potential gaps, and background information. We will make specific recommendations, but the final selection of those to be considered will be up to you.

Renée Narloch President S. Renee Narlock and Associates 2910 Kerry Forest Pkwy D4-242 Tallahassee, FL 32309 In Re: Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Recruitment Dear Ms. Narloch, Please accept this letter as my formal request for consideration to become the next Executive Director for the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). As a community redevelopment professional in the South Florida region since 1999, an active member of the Florida Redevelopment Association and as the Director of the neighboring Deerfield Beach CRA since 2013, I’ve been aware of the good things happening in Boynton Beach. Since the Deerfield Beach CRA is approaching its mandatory sunset date, the recruitment for Boynton Beach CRA’s Executive Director presents itself as an opportunity to continue putting my extensive experience into practice. I find fulfillment in using my knowledge base, resourcefulness, persistence, and “can-do” attitude to achieve community goals. I am approachable, relatable, and forge mutually beneficial relationships with ease. Speaking with residents, business owners, developers, elected officials and large groups is something I handle with confidence. I am highly skilled at all aspects of CRA plan implementation from capital project construction to negotiating developers’ agreements to managing contractors, consultants and staff. I’m currently responsible for a department of six staff with an annual budget of $17 million for a city with 89,000 residents. I have a spotless administrative record in my management of the Deerfield Beach CRA. One of my unique skill sets is the ability to develop interlocal agreements and CRA redevelopment policies and programs to complement and not detract from City functions. After you review my resume of qualifications, I hope that you agree that I’m a perfect fit for this position and look forward to discussing my experience in greater detail with you and the Boynton Beach CRA Board of Directors.

Renee Narloch, President S. Renee Narloch & Associates Re: The Position of Executive Director for the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Dear Ms. Narloch, I am writing to express my interest in the Executive Director position at the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (BBCRA), as advertised on the Agency’s website. The field of Community Redevelopment and Economic Development has been my chosen career path for the past 30 years and I am passionate about the outcomes possible for communities utilizing the tools offered by CRAs. My time previously spent with the BBCRA as their Executive Director, Assistant Director and Development Manager provide me with a deep understanding of the programs, projects and economic environment of Boynton Beach and the redevelopment area. My many years of experience and progressive responsibility levels in community improvement and redevelopment have provided me with an extraordinary background in assisting businesses and residents manage the goals and expectations for advancement as outlined under their redevelopment plans. Active engagement with my Board of Directors, honest and fair dealings with the public and development community, as well as honoring the fiduciary responsibility for public funding are very important to me as a professional and Executive Director. I have many years of experience in affordable, workforce housing, business support and grants, and large-scale mix-use redevelopment projects utilizing incentives. One of those large-scale mix-use redevelopment projects during my time as Executive Director at the BBCRA was the Town Square project. This was an $83,000,000 project involving the relocation and construction of a new City Hall building, renovation of a historic school structure into a cultural arts center, new amphitheater and public space, along with adjacent land areas planned for future commercial and residential growth. This was project meeting the definition of a true public-private partnership in both development and funding. Additionally, the Ocean Breeze East low-income housing tax credit development and the MLK Jr. Boulevard commercial and low-income housing tax credit housing project, as well as the redevelopment of the Boynton Harbor Marina are some of the successful projects that took place under my leadership. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence, dedication and attention to detail. My ability to adapt to dynamic situations, coupled with my passion for community redevelopment and improvement, ensures that I am well-prepared to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the Executive Director role. Thank you for taking the time to review my professional resume and considering my application. I would be delighted to discuss how my skills, experiences, and motivations align with the vision and goals of the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency. I am available for an interview at your convenience and can be reached on my cell phone at: 205-478-1701 or via email at: rmichaelsimonjr@yahoo.com.
