On July 14, 2020, the CRA Board assigned the CRAB with the task of identifying available properties located within key commercial and light industrial areas of the CRA. CRA staff will provide the CRAB with a list of properties found on Costar/LoopNet and the Multiple Listing Service that are being marketed as "for sale" or properties where the CRA has been presented an opportunity to purchase by the property owners or their representatives. The CRA Board's assignment involves the CRAB performing research and analysis on these properties. The goal of the assignment is to have the CRAB provide a priority list of properties or recommendations on whether or not to pursue possible acquisition based on available funding. All land assemblages for future redevelopment shall be in furtherance of the 2016 Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan. Of the properties for sale, categorize them as one of the following options: Pursue now as a land banking opportunity; or Pursue at a future time to be determined by the CRA Board; or Do not pursue because it does not fit the CRA mission. Property Address Pursue Now as a Land Banking Opportunity Pursue at a Future Date Does Not Fit the CRA Mission 136-140 W Boynton Beach Blvd (see Attachments I-II) When matters are assigned to the CRAB, reliance on staff should be minimized to the extent 10 •Attachment I - 136-140 W Boynton Beach Blvd - PAPA Map •Attachment II - 136-140 W Boynton Beach Blvd - LoopNet possible. Individual members of the CRAB may not assign work to CRA or City staff members. Research by the members of the Advisory Board should be done independently and with as minimal reliance on CRA or City staff as possible. This will ensure that work continues to be accomplished as staff will not be overwhelmed with new assignments. Once the assignment is complete and the CRAB is ready to present a report to the CRA or City Commission, then the CRAB Board shall submit their report to CRA staff or the City Clerk for publishing on the next available agenda.

Investigate specifics including locations for the splash pad in the Cultural District. On November 10, 2025, the CRAB presented their ideas before the CRA Board for the splash pad, including locations at both Pence Park and Sara Sims Park, and suggested adding an art feature the Cultural District location to activate the space both day and night (see Attachment I). 2. Continue discussion and research ideas/names for renaming streets (no longer need to discuss per CRA Board direction at December 9, 2025 Meeting). 3. Research and investigate opportunities to honor the two (2) Heisman Trophy winners that are from Boynton Beach. Examples include statutes/monuments and street renaming. The Board has previously discussed ways to honor the two (2) Heisman Trophy winners including the following: A. An event with sponsors, vendors and include young athletes B. Renaming or street dedication C. Proclamation or day designation D. Mural or Statutes. On October 15, 2025, William Harper volunteered to prepare a presentation on the ways to honor the two (2) Heisman Trophy winners (see Attachment II). At the November 19, 2025 meeting, the Board discussed the draft presentation on the Heisman Trophy winners with the following ideas: Tribute committee with youth (football players) as members, Involve foundations of the players Fishing tournament 21 •Attachment I - Final CRA Presentation on Splash Pad/Water Feature •Attachment II - Draft Presentation on Honoring Heisman Heroes •Attachment III - 2016 Redevelopment Plan •Attachment IV - CRAB CRA Plan Recommendations Renaming of a park - Dewey Park to Heisman Square At the December 17, 2025 meeting, the Board continue discussing additional ways to honor the two (2) Heisman Trophy winners with possible locations including Ezell Hester Jr. Community Park, Dewey Park, the site of the demolished Inn at Boynton and future development sites. The Board will continue discussing additional ways to honor the two (2) Heisman Trophy winners at the January 21, 2026 meeting, along with reviewing the updated presentation. 4. Recommendations for changing or inclusion of possible historic district or way to incorporate historic preservation within our CRA Plan (see Attachments III and IV). When matters are assigned to the CRAB Board, reliance on staff should be minimized to the extent possible. Individual members of CRAB may not assign work to the CRA or City staff members. Research by the members of the Advisory Board should be done independently and with minimal support from the CRA or City staff. Once the assignment is complete and the CRAB is ready to present a report to the CRA or City Commission, the CRAB Board shall submit their report to CRA staff or the City Clerk for publishing on the next available agenda. FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined. CRA PLAN/PROJECT/PROGRAM: 2016 Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan CRAB RECOMMENDATION: To be determined. ATTACHMENTS: Description 22 CRA ADVISORY BOARD PENCE PARK | CULTURAL DISTRICT WATER FEATURE 23 INTRODUCTION In alignment with the mission of the CRA to “create a vibrant downtown core and revitalize neighborhoods” we are asking for: -Splash Park as part of the Design for Pence Park - the Downtown District -A Distinct & Artistic water feature as a central focal point of the Cultural District 24 PENCE PARK SPLASH PARK DOWNTOWN DISTRICT 25 SPLASH PARKS: WHAT ARE THEY? Zero-Depth Splash parks can be small or epic 26 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION Splash parks tend to be vibrant gathering places that both build community + increase the value of surrounding property. This increased presence of parents & children also has the opportunity to reduce crime. It will increase activation by attracting multiple age ranges to Pence Park. 27 SPLASH PARKS: GAP ANALYSIS Boynton Beach Small Splash pad at Barrier Free Park Boca Raton Patch Reef Park Delray Beach Catherine Strong Splash Park Lake Worth John Prince Memorial (operated by PBC) Our neighbors have dedicated, large splash parks that draw in residents from surrounding cities: 28 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION ●Shade ●Interactive Water Play at lower heights (For smaller children) ●Inclusion of Color & Art Features 29 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION ●Benches for Parents ●Grass area for picnics (Artificial turf should be considered) 30 PENCE PARK RECOMMENDATION ●Fenced in (At the very least, one way in one way out) ●For weekends or busy times, consider the option for a food truck to park closeby ●Bathrooms ●Security, specifically cameras that link to Police real time crime center 31 What do residents say about a splash park? 32 Additional Considerations ●Design: Ensuring community input during this process ●Implementation Cost ●Healthy Water Systems ●Maintenance costs at $15-$25k per year ●Safety is critical ○Good Parking ○Well Lit ○Safe Bathrooms Optimistic Realistic Worst Case $400-$600k $750-$950k $1,000,000+ 33 WATER FEATURE CULTURAL DISTRICT 34 WHY A WATER FEATURE? Boynton Beach lacks a distinct artistic feature in our cultural district, the heart of our city. Water makes sense for our identity as a city. Water features are memorable & attract crowds. People will stay longer, increasing the hours of activation of the cultural district, invigorating the economy. 35 CULTURAL DISTRICT: ART INSTALL 36 CULTURAL DISTRICT: ART INSTALLATION Recommendations for Water Feature: ●Partner with artists to double as art installation ○Budget can come from both CRA & Art ●Consider Fountains with LED lights for nighttime distinction ●Fountains will not require a bathroom installation 37 NEXT STEPS Recommendation:Add a splash park to the Pence park plan and signature water feature to the Cultural District. Benefits:Enhances community pride, boosts Cultural District economy, creates family-friendly destination. Next Steps: 1. Gather Public Input 2. Approve & add to official plans 3. Solicit proposals (artists, water feature specialists, contractors) 4. Finalize budget range 5. Integrate into Downtown Boynton vision & branding. 38 Honoring Heisman Heroes: Lamar Jackson& TravisHunter Presented to: City of Boynton Beach CRA Advisory Board Prepared by: William Harper Date: November 19th, 2025 39 Why It Matters? •Lamar Jackson and Travis Hunter are national icons and hometown inspirations. •Honoring them boosts civic pride, encourages youth, and celebrates excellence. •Other cities have shown how powerful these tributes can be. 40 How Cities Honor Their Athletes City Athlete Honored Tribute Type San Diego, CA Marcus Allen, Rashaan Salaam, Ricky Williams, Reggie Bush Declared “It Must Be in the Water Day” to honor Heisman winners from the area Tyler, TX Earl Campbell Statue at stadium, street renamed Pensacola, FL Emmitt Smith Mural, youth football camps Dublin, OH Troy Smith Community celebration, youth clinic Fork Union, VA Eddie George School ceremony, local parade 41 Tribute Ideas for Boynton Beach •Street Renaming: “Lamar Jackson Way” or “Travis Hunter Blvd” •Park Renaming: “Lamar Jackson Park” or “Travis Hunter Field” •Murals: Commission local artists to paint tribute walls downtown •Statues or Plaques: Install at local parks or stadiums •Annual Heisman Day Parade: Celebrate their achievements with floats, bands, and youth teams •Youth Sports Scholarships: Named in their honor to support aspiring athletes 42 Visual Concepts Place Holder •Mockups of murals and street signs •Photos of similar tributes from other cities •Potential locations for installations (e.g., city hall, stadium, parks) 43 Proposed Mural Location •Dewey Park: 100 NE 4th Street, Boynton Beach, FL 33435 - City Owned Land - Located in Main Downtown Area - Large Wall On Side of Park Ranger Building is Ideal For Large Heisman Mural - Potential To Be Renamed: Heisman Square?

With the city evolving rapidly, it’s time to re-imagine this plan to better reflect today’s priorities—emphasizing sustainable growth, vibrant public spaces, diverse housing options, and attractions that appeal to both locals and tourists. A refreshed vision will ensure Boynton Beach remains a thriving, dynamic community that meets the demands of the future. Adoption Date: October 4, 2016 290 291 Educate residents about the CRA Districts. Re-Evaluate district boundaries and consider renaming/re-branding. (e.g., Creating a Marina District currently in the Downtown District) Reevaluate the Boynton Beach CRA branding to align with the city’s evolving identity and vision for the future. Implementing a comprehensive multi-modal connectivity plan will enhance connectivity, accessibility, and efficiency across all districts/city, ensuring equitable mobility options for residents and visitors throughout the city. DISTRICT RECOMMENDATIONS / CONSIDERATIONS 292 Consider creating a new tagline that could better encompass its vibrant community and diverse appeal. “Gateway to the Gulfstream” highlights the coast but may not reflect Boynton Beach’s full identity. Explore partnerships with Live Local projects to incorporate a grocery store, particularly in or adjacent to The Heart of Boynton district, enhancing accessibility and supporting community needs. Engage community residents to collaborate with the CRA to rename the streets in our Downtown, Cultural, and Heart of Boynton districts, reflecting the area’s unique character and shared heritage. Examine and coordinate potential funding for infrastructure improvements for all districts. (water, sewer, drainage) Continue land banking opportunities.
