Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida July 14, 2026 developer wanted to go to two years from the three years, from the 15 years. She thought it looked bad they didn't wait until after the vote in November and it looked greedy, it looked like someone owed somebody something, but she did not know. She said last month someone said they were happy they did not leave, and she contended they would not leave because the CRA gave them land worth $7M for free. She said they probably liquidated it and used it on the Dunes which looks very nice, but it looks bad in Boynton Beach. She said they were ok with three years and now it's ok for two years. She asked regarding the budget, if they rolled over funds that were already on a purchase order, and said they don't need to do that unless they delete the purchase order. She said regarding the back up it may need to be adjusted because it says for says 25/26 the millage was 7.8 and for 26/27 was 7.75. She asked how much the developers will receive for the TERFA agreement. She said it said $9M but there was no backup. Betty Roe asked if the CRA was planning on having anything in District 2 east near Intracoastal Park. She said in the past, they had events there and residents are feeling deserted. She noted there are no grocery stores or restaurants there and it is always nice having events at Intracoastal Park, but now it faded away.

Consideration of Termination of the Commercial Rent Reimbursement Grant Program to Potiwa Pizza LLC located in the Heart of Boynton Shops at 137 NE 10th Avenue, Unit 104 Board Member Kelley noted the agenda backup has different options listed. She didn't know if they needed to adjust the motion to be clear what the Board's position was. Amanda Radigan, CRA Deputy Director, stated they need two different motions as one was for the Commercial Improvement Grant and the other was for the Rent Reimbursement Grant. Attorney Rossmell explained the first item had expired under its own terms, so they did not need to be specific with the motion. She stated for this item, the grant is not due to start, and if terminating the grant, they can do so with a finding that the applicant and their proposed use no longer advances the goals and objectives of the program Motion Board Member McCray moved to terminate the grant as their proposed use no longer advances the goals and objectives of the program.

She said they can let us know what the options are that could also be included in the scope of services. Vice Chair Turkin said they need to think about this to avoid having tenants receiving notices to find a temporary location. Board Member Kelley spoke about entry features on MLK Jr. Boulevard and Boynton Beach Boulevard and thought they should keep entry features on the radar and at least have a placeholder. Vice Chair Turkin agreed. Board Member McCray spoke about the Neighborhood Officer Program and said they bought bicycles and segways for the program and asked what happened to them. He did not want the program to lack. Vice Chair Turkin said the segways were collecting dust. Adam Temple, said the police officers still have the bikes and are using them. Chair Shelton said they should talk about a ride share program at another meeting, noting that other companies have advertisements and make revenue, but not Boynton Beach Circuit. She thought the service was needed, but they should not be paying for it and it would help the disabled. David Katz noted in the meeting backup, there are proposed allocation highlights. He said there are Business Development promotions and then Business Promotion Marketing and asked what the difference was. Ms. Radigan said one is for marketing budgets for national or other CRA programs, and the other is business promotions, which handles events such as night markets.

Ms. Radigan asked for clarification about the entry feature. 7 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida July 14, 2026 Board Member McCray thanked Ms. Nicklien for her work on unit 104 and said in the future, if an applicant is not producing, to let the Board know.
