SUBJECT: Approval of Sponsorship for the Habitat for Humanity Collegiate Challenge in the
Amount of$500
SUMMARY: During the months of February and March 2010, over 100 college students from
around the country volunteer their time during spring break to Habitat for Humanity to build homes.
Next spring, students from Concordia College in Selma, AL and Bentley University in Waltham, MA
will be volunteering with Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach to work on two homes in the Heart
of Boynton.
Habitat for Humanity asks that the community support the students with meals during their time here. In
order to provide the students with a positive impression of Boynton Beach, CRA staff recommends that
the Agency sponsor the student's daytime meals provided on site while the students are working on the
HOB Habitat homes. The total cost of sponsorship is $500.00.
FISCAL IMPACT: $500 from 01-51010-203
CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: Heart of Boynton Community Redevelopment Plan
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve funding sponsorship of the 2010 Collegiate Challenge in the
amount of $500.

Introduction
Waterways have traditionally been a primary avenue of transportation, and while times
have changed, waterway transportation could, and should, be part of our metropolitan
area's transportation system.
Palm Beach County has more than forty miles of the Intracoastal Waterway that is
underutilized as a transportation alternative. Palm Beach County's eastern cities have a
portion of the Intracoastal Waterway within their municipal boundaries. Palm Beach
County envisions linking cities situated along the Intracoastal Waterway via water taxi
service.
Purpose
The purpose of this grant program is to provide funding assistance for a Countywide
endeavor to link cities along the Intracoastal Waterway via an integrated water taxi
transit system. This program includes the design and construction of docks,
improvements to existing docks, and other access facilities water taxi operators require
to pick-up and drop-off passengers.
It is intended that the water taxi transit system would be connected to existing
Countywide bicycle and pedestrian pathways, Palm Tran, Tri-Rail, and other city transit
services enhancing a Countywide multimodal transportation system.
Eligibility
The funds can only be used for lands ide design and construction of docks,
improvements to existing docks, and other access facilities for use, for passenger
service use only, by water taxi operators. The facilities will be available for use by all
water taxi operators. Private water taxi operators' operations and capital costs will be
the responsibility of the private water taxi operators. Under this grant program, private
water taxi operators are NOT eligible to receive funds.
Who Can Apply
The docks and docking facilities purchased with the funds from this grant program will
be publicly owned. Proposed docks and dock facilities to be constructed or improved
either must be publicly owned, publicly operated, or a public authority with a majority
ownership interest where it is demonstrated that the water taxi operation provides
substantial public benefits.

Allocation of Funds
The funds are specified as Ferry Boat Discretionary Program, (1991 ISTEA Section
1064;23 U.S.C.129@;TEA-21 Section 1207). They are Federal dollars disbursed by the

Beach County for a Countywide system to link cities via an integrated water taxi transit
system. Front end funding is not applicable. Retainage is not applicable. The total

maximum Federal dollar disbursement amount for anyone dockage site is $100,000.00.
Any expenses beyond $100,000.00 will be the responsibility of the Applicant. The funds
are strictly for design and construction of docks, improvement to existing docks, and
other access facilities for use for passenger service only by water taxi operators. Funds
cannot be used for acquisition of land, nor for the operations and maintenance of the
dockage sites.

Boynton Beach, Florida
November 5, 2008
Mr. Hay confirmed with Ms. Harris that the funds were budgeted. Ms. Harris indicated
the position did not appear on the organizational charts and was considered
professional services personnel costs.
Vice Chair Rodriguez's concern was the Board had been misled regarding the
elimination of the position during the budget cycle and the budgeted funds were
specified for use in an emergency, such as the Family Leave.
Mr. Weiland could not agree the Board had been misled, but minutes could be reviewed
or verbatim excerpts could be requested. He repeated if the monies were budgeted he
would agree with two months to complete the special project. Mr. Weiland requested
that the matter be researched so there would be no confusion.
Vice Chair Rodriguez suggested the Board reaffirm that the position be eliminated. Mr.
Weiland wanted to resolve any and all confusion and accusations. Vice Chair Rodriguez
inquired if the CRA Attorney had any knowledge of the files being discussed.
CRA Attorney Cherof believed they were legal files that were dormant and kept by the
previous Board Attorney. Mayor Taylor clarified there were boxes of files in the
previous Attorney's office that were not accessible. Space was made available and the
files could be organized for future reference. The organization of the files did have to
be accomplished at the direction of the Executive Director.
Ms. Bright explained her responsibilities and the rules that govern the Agency dictate
the Chair as her superior. She pointed out Vice Chair Rodriguez was the only member
of the Board that did not have a standing meeting with CRA staff to discuss his
concerns with continued operational frustrations with her and staff. She would like
better communication between herself and Vice Chair Rodriguez. The project with the
files had been fully discussed with Chair Taylor. She suggested regular meetings with
Vice Chair Rodriguez with either herself or Ms. Brooks would give him a better
understanding of the operations in the Agency. It was a business decision not to fill the
open position.
Vice Chair Rodriguez commented it was an Executive Board and his position was every
discussion should be done in a public setting. Discussions should not be held behind
closed doors with individuals, rather openly and publicly. He felt everyone should hear
the same thing to make informed decisions.
Mayor Taylor contended it was not practical and he had meetings every week with the
City Manager to go over many things that were not official. Not every problem can be
solved in two week intervals. Vice Chair Rodriguez reiterated his position that he would
not have discussions behind closed doors with the Executive Director.

November 5, 2008
Ms. Ross felt it was her right to have a meeting with the Executive Director or the City
Manager. Mr. Hay asserted it was his right to ask questions and get further information
when needed and not necessarily in a public setting. Mr. Weiland opined it was Vice
Chair Rodriguez's loss not to be fully informed. Mr. Hay contended emails serve the
same purpose. Vice Chair Rodriguez pointed out emails are sent to everyone and the
answers are received by everyone.
Ms. Ross indicated it was a small agency with nine employees. The City may have
similar situations in their departments, but the Commission does not dissect those
departments. Upper management is trusted to organize the departments as needed.
The decision to employ one or two people for special projects should be made by the
Executive Director. Chair Taylor explained anything beyond the budgeted items would
have to come to the Board for approval.
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved to approve Item VI.B. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.

citizens In the Heart of Boynton. He expressed concern there were no monies encumbered for
the development of the Heart of Boynton as a guarantee of a commitment. There has been
confusion In the community over the Ocean Breeze project and the proposals, because the
community supports only Single family homes. The purchase by the aty of three properties for
$60,000 then being bought by the CRA from the City for $1.3 million was outrageous to Rev.
Chaney. He asserted too many CRA funds were being used to balance the City budget.
Chair Taylor responded the land was bought as vacant land and had been appraised based on
the proposed development. The CRA encumbered half the monies, and the City encumbered
the other half In order to give land to the developer so he could afford to build affordable
housing. He noted the Ocean Breeze project did include single family homes on the west side
on the land given to them by the CRA. Rev. Chaney suggested the $1.3 million be retained by
the eRA and given to developers as an incentive. He also recalled the previous CRA board had
been chastised for dOing the same type of Incentive buying and selling. Mr. Weiland added the
City would not be receiving $650,000 of the $1.3 million.
Mr. Hay remarked, thinking outside the box, the purchase of the little market on Seacrest would
alleviate some of the dnJgs and crimes In the area. Funds should be found to purchase the
market and reduce the cost of police patrols and address safety Issues.
No one etse coming forward, Clair Taylor closed the public audience.

A. Proposed Resolution Recommending the amendment of the CRA Plan and to

Chair Taylor read the title of the resolution and explained the matter had been before the
Commission and needed to be approved by the CRA by resolution.

Mr. Weiland moved to approve the resolution. Mr. Hay seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
Xl. Old Business:
A. Discussion and Approval of FV 2008-2009 Budget
Vice Chair Rodriguez'S review of the budget revealed no monies had been allocated for the MLK
project because the developer did not need the money until 2010/2011. Due to budgetary
concerns, he recommended some monies be set aside for the MLK project. He proposed using
$666,000 from the surplus, $313,000 from the contingency fund and half of the $800,000 for

the 4th Street project that has been deferred to 2012, and allocating $1.4 mlltlon to the MLK
project In next year's budget. This would address the citizens' concerns and offset the
continued decrease In property values. Mr. Hay concurred with Vice Chair Rodriguez that the
proposal would support due diligence In allocating funding for the Heart of Boynton Beach.
Susan Harris, Director of Finance, indicated the $666,000 could be encumbered for the
Auburn Group. She recalled the Board made two significant changes: one, reduced the money
paid to the City for the land to $650,000, and second, deferred $800,000 for the 4th Street
project until 2011/2012. The $665,000 can be encumbered this year and then used as needed
to offset the $1.9 million.
elto Bergulrstain, Auburn Development, advised a motion had not been made to encumber
the $666,000 by reducing what the CRA would be paying the Oty. The $800,000 was
encumbered for the 4th Street project and was not available for this fiscal year budget. The
modification of the master developer agreement did aI/ow for some of the funds to be made
available during this fiscal year. Mr. Weiland pointed out the allocations were based on the
assumption that property values would continue to decline. If that was not correct, the monies
may be available. Ms. Bright clarified that Vice Chair Rodriguez was suggesting half of the
money encumbered for the 4th Street project be encumbered In the next fiscal year for the MLK
corridor. Vice Chair Rodriguez calculated that next year only $500,000 would be needed for the
MLK project. Ms. Bright cautioned the CRA would not have any contingency fund avaltable for
emergencies If the proposed allocation was approved. Susan Harris admonished contingency
funds are needed In the amount of $300,000. These funds, If not used, could be reassigned to
the MLK project. Mr. Bergulrstaln felt confident that If $1.4 million were encumbered for the
project, the development could move forward.
Vice Chair Rodriguez suggested the $666,000 and $400,000 would be $1.1 million with the
contingency monies rolled over If not used. Various altematives to balance the bUdget were
discussed. Mrs. Bright explained some flexibility has to be maintained to assist Auburn Group In
moving the first phase forward. She also pointed out the 4th Street project may get moved
forward and those monies would need to be available.
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved to encumber approximately $1.1 million for the MlK project and
Auburn Group to move forward with the development along MLK and get a developer
agreement. Mr. Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Bergulrstaln commended theCRA Board and staff on their commitment to the project and
revitalization of the area.
Mr. Hay lauded the CRA staff for their achievements and announced only three CRA's had been
pulled for special recognition for their achievements at a League of CIties meeting and Boynton
Beach was one of the three.
Chair Taylor noted Vivian Brooksl Assistant CRA Director would be making a presentation on
affordable housing to an International level conference In calgary, Canada.

In reviewing other budget Items, Vice Chair Rodriguez further suggested membershIp fees,
delivery services and office supplies could possIbly be reduced. He questioned the $20,000
allotted for brownfleld designation when that was rejected. Ms. Bright advised the MLK corridor
was designated as a brownfield, and Tom Hinners had requested assIstance with the economic
development of the project, but had to do the paperwork with assistance from the CRA staff.
The monies would go to legal counsel to make sure the brownfleld designation was approved.
The cost for the original brownfleld designation would have been negligible. Assistance would
be available through the CRA to property owners to access those credits. Ms. Harris pointed
out any funds not used would be rolled over and the cost of an electronic agenda process
would also have to be funded. MembershIps have been reduced and the Business Development
membership fee was split wIth the City. Since travel has been cut, staff wanted to assure
newsletter subscriptions were maIntained. It was explained that the office supplies had been
Increased because the marketing materials that had been outsourced are now being done In-
house.
Attorney Cherof advised the budget would be adopted and Exhibit "A" would be modified wIth
the amendments being suggested.
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6th Avenue, Inquired If the Heritage Fest had been cancelled. She
questioned why preparations were being made for the 4th of July and not the Heritage Fest.
Ms. Bright responded the Heritage Fest concert and related events had been elimInated;
however, the $5,000 Family Day at the Sims Center would be supported. Only two events
would be sponsored this year: the 4th of July and the Holiday Event. Kathy Blscultl, SpecIal
Events Manager, reported any events the communIty wanted could be held at the library. It
was noted the attendance had been very poor. Mr. Hay noted the total cost of the Heritage
Fest was $95,000.
Myra Jones apologIzed for some of the mIscommunication and expressed her appreciatIon for
the assistance of staff. Staff' has already committed many things to the community. She
suggested the neighborhood associatIon presidents should meet and discuss theIr differences in
private.
Lance Chaney, 4312 Polemo Boulevard, opIned the $95,000 cost was hIgh, but the Heritage
Fest would reflect Boynton Beach's diverse, cultural community. He conceded there were
attendance problems. Ignoring the varIous cultures within the aty while spending over
$80,000 for travel seemed contrary to affirming the minorities and diversity wIthIn the Oty.
Vice Chair Rodriguez clarlfled the travel budget had been decreased from $80,000 to $19,000, a
77% reduction. The recent trip to Calgary was In the current year's budget. Ms. Bright
stressed the CUban Art Show was rejected, as were other cultural events, due to a lack of
funding. Every effort was beIng made to get developers to underwrite the cost of any events.
Auburn Group donated $50,000 for events and In-kind sponsorships. Those types of donations
would not be forthcoming In the new fiscal year. The rationale would be to have a major event
In the summer and major event during the holidays. Rev. Chaney urged the City or eRA to
devote some dollars to affirm diversity wIthIn the City.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, FL
September 2, 2008
Chair Taylor remarked the City cut out funding for all events and turned the planning and
events over to the CRA exclusively. The funding for the Holiday event had been trimmed back.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, had Issues with the way the Heritage Fest was addressed.
MS. Bright acknowledged the CRA would not be funding the types of activities and programs It
had In the past. Mr. Norfus stressed the original celebration was Black Awareness Day to
showcase the accomplishments of the African-Americans to the City and Nation. It was an
educational opportunity. expanding the program and event overshadowed the educational
factor. It needs to return to the citizens to be responSible for the celebration, with some type
of support from the City.
Mr. Hay recalled his sister, Ullian Artis, was Integral to the concept of Black Awareness within
the City. The event should continue In some form. He contended the CRA Board should donate
some funds to the event. Mr. Hay encouraged the donation of discretionary funds to ensure
continuation of the event In some form.
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved to adopt the resolution with Exhibit "A," Incorporating the
amendments made by the Board. Mr. Hay seconded the motion.
B. Discussion of Contracts with American Realty - Ocean Breeze
Attorney Cheraf explained there was extensive Information provided about the history of the
Ocean Breeze project and the contract to purchase the property, plus the Incentive packages
offered. At the last meeting changes were requested to be made to the project as proposed.
The policy Issues that must be addressed are about the purchase and sale agreements entered
Into with Ocean Breeze. A deposit of $210,000 was reqUired within ten days of final ranking of
the 2008 Universal ranking of the application by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, or
October 31,2008, whichever came first. The purchaser did not timely make that deposit, and
the fal/ure would constitute a technical breach of the contract. The contract also provided a
curative period once the default Is made. The first decision would be if staff should write a
default letter to the developer, triggering their l'a:Iulrement to post the $110,000 deposit. The
second Issue Is whether the modification proposed Is a material difference from the project that
was originally approved. If It Is, consideration would be given to the other company that made
a proposal, the Carlisle Group. Another alternative Is to reject all the proposals and seek new
requests for proposals. It was noted the project has been underway for some period of time,
and the same amount of time would be necessary to start over again.
Frank Chlrklnlan, Amerl~n Realty, noted, on the west side, originally Community Housing
Workforce Innovation Pilot Program (CWHIP) funds were being sought and as Indicated In the
RFP, were critical to the acquisition. When those fLlnds did not materialize, an alternative
concept for building on the west side was developed. Without the Community Housing
Workforce Innovation Pilot Program funds, the entire project on the west side stalled. An
alternative plan was recently presented to the board. Technically, a deposit should have been
made based on the award of the Community Housing Workforce Innovation Pilot Program funds

The Boynton Beach CRADowntown Master Plan
provides a focused vision and action plan for
the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment
Area (CRA). The Master Plan identifIeS goals
and needs, and oollecls them into a strategic
framework for implementing the oommunity's
aspirations. The implementation action plan is
prioritized based on realistic feasibility
The planning process for this effort was
lransparent and highly participatory, involving
stakeholders and residents from throughout
the Boynton Beach community. During the
process. public concems and oomments were
used to develop the Statement of Needs for the
Community. The guiding principles for the final
Master Plan address the following issues:
A need for a clear vision and plan for
redevelopment of the entire area
Boynton Beach does not have an
identifiable center
There is Hille historic fabric remaining
Public acc:eu eo the Intracoastal
Yllaterway i11limllwd
Underutilized oorridors of commercial
uses create a _ of dilinvestment in

Housing is not located close to jobs. and
the employees of jobs lhat are located in
the area Clnnot afford to live In the area
Community serviQaa are needed closer to
where peopI& Ove
Some ~tanding local bulineases
have cIosecIlelVlng . gap In services for
the aurroundlng neighborhoods
E'Oyt\TON eE4CH M.A.STE'P ~lA'"
Create a family friendly mixed-use
downtown oore of ooncenlrated activity
Protect single-family neighborhoods
adjacent to downtown
Create a cultural center around existing
aJltural providers
Preserve the existing historic fabric of the
community
Provide improved public access to the
water
Connect existing greenspace
Address visual blight
Provide a balance of housing and
employment: include affordable housing
near employment centers
Provide community services near
neighborhoods
Support local business retention
Phase the redevelopment to generate
momentum for future developments
Articulate a clear vision and provide
feasible and realistic implementation steps
Big Moves are action steps to implement the
Master Plan and provide momentum for future
successes. The Big Moves for the Downtown
Master Plan evolved from the community input
sessions, interviews with elected officials, and
were tested against the market for feasibility.
It is recommended that these action items be
given immediate priority and the sustained effort
necessary to see large projects through.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
March 10, 2009
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, objected to Vice Chair Rodriguez doing something
other than viewing the Community Redevelopment Agency video shown earlier in the
meeting and advised it was insulting.
Lynn Simmons, Splash Down Divers Shop Proprietor, advised there was a need for a
paid position at the marina to handle requests for information and services available.
She complimented the Community Redevelopment Agency on the marina and advised
the public loves it. For the past nine years, she was handling the requests, but now she
had to find another job to meet expenses and could no longer assist the public.
Ms. Bright agreed to meet with Ms. Simmons to determine what was needed.
Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, complimented the Community
Redevelopment Agency on their special events. He suggested having the Los Lonely
Boys at the 2009 Holiday Parade and Concert, as the group incorporates faith, family
and fun when they entertain.
John Lawrence Jolley, 515 Sunset Road, spoke of his activities, which were
nonsensical. He also advised, last week the Commission discussed increasing the cost
of water to encourage people to use less water. He expressed his opinion on the matter
but explained the City puts chemicals in the water, which were not good. Chair Taylor
advised he should attend the City Commission meeting on the 17th, as the matter did
not pertained to them. Mr. Jolley insisted the Board listen to what he had to say;
however, since proper decorum was not maintained, Mr. Jolley was asked to leave, and
escorted out of the meeting by the Police.
Chair Taylor closed the public hearing.

A. Auburn Development, LLC
1. Consideration of Master Development Agreement with Auburn
Development, LLC
Vivian Brooks, Assistant Director, advised that after the February 11, 2009 community
meeting, staff and the legal department received a revised Master Development
Agreement, which was different from the prior agreement. The meeting materials
contained staff's notes regarding the agreement and some of the items addressed the

third party verification differently than how the Board had directed. The conceptual site
plan changed significantly as did the amount of public subsidy requested. The initial
RFP response indicated they would only need public dollars for public purpose
improvements.
Vice Chair Rodriguez left the dais at 7:22 p.rn.
Staff was seeking policy direction from the Board and legal counsel regarding how to
move forward.
Vice Chair ROdriguez returned to the dais at 7:23 p.m.
Mr. Hay expressed his disappointment with Intown and the 12 months spent negotiating
with them. The Board spent 18 months negotiating with Auburn Development. At the
community meeting, one theme was heard, which was to eliminate crime. He pointed
out, until that occurred, no one would want to move to the Heart of Boynton. He noted
only four property owners from the Heart of Boynton area attended the meeting.
Auburn Development did not want a third party verification; the Community
Redevelopment Agency had no contract with them, and items were changed from
meeting to meeting. District II was still suffering. He expressed Auburn was a good
company but the current economy made it impossible for Auburn to deliver. Until the
economy improved, Mr. Hay saw the relationship between the developer, the City and
the Community Redevelopment Agency getting worse before it gets better. He
explained the Community Redevelopment Agency could still move forward and
accomplish things in the Heart of Boynton immediately.
Motion
Mr. Hay moved that the Community Redevelopment Agency cease negotiation with
Auburn; th . ted to imm . ., .
p'r ; and they direct staff to develop a plan of what
to do with the Martin Luther King development money. Ms. Ross seconded the motion.
Vice Chair Rodriguez agreed Mr. Hay raised good points, but advised the project was a
large and difficult one. The developer made changes, but he pointed out the
community, the Board and the public requested them. When the developers
accommodated the request, they were criticized. This was potentially the second
developer who would not develop the project and he suggested the Board examine
themselves. The Community Redevelopment Agency did not develop anything in
Boynton Beach, and would not be successful unless they endured.
Mr. Weiland agreed and thought the project should be salvaged. The dollars would be
redirected to moving City Hall to another location and redeveloping the current City Hall
site. There would be tax credits given.

Chair Taylor disagreed. He explained they were looking at a brand new contract, but he
was not sure the contract coincided with the RFP that was issued. They could not
develop Phase II unless they developed a grocery store and they do not own the land.
The store is supposed to be on the north side, and the map showed the structure on the
south side. He had no exhibits to the contract and the schedule for the development
was subject to change. He agreed with the motion.
Cito Berguistrain, Auburn Development, thanked the Community Redevelopment
Agency Board for the opportunity to have participated in the process. He indicated they
have a long history of affordable housing, and the Board members would be invited to
the grand opening of Boynton Bay in Boynton Beach.
For the record, Mr. Berguistrain advised Auburn did not say they did not want a third
party verification. Auburn had agreed to pay for the verification in the agreement. If the
Community Redevelopment Agency wanted to develop its own project and go through
the RFP process, it would have to spend its own dollars. A publidprivate partnership
leverages the funds with the funds from the private sector. In Phase II, the Community
Redevelopment Agency would have provided $1,920,000 and Auburn would have
provided four acres, 120 units of affordable senior housing and a senior center. The
cost to develop the project was about $30-$40 million with the Community
Redevelopment Agency only paying $1.9 million.
Mr. Berguistrain disagreed the economy would halt the project as the stimulus package
included credits to the developer offering a higher leveraged ratio. Modifying the
agreement was part of the negotiation process; any modifications were made in an
effort to satisfy the Board. He explained they were trying to act in good faith, listen to
the community, the Board and staff, and deliver a project. Auburn was appreciative of
the Board's discretion in moving forward or not. He advised if it did not, it was not
because Auburn kept changing its message or refused a financial review. He requested
Mr. Hay modify his motion not to cease negotiation today as many community residents
were not present. He suggested having another community meeting to let the
community ask the question and advise whether they want the project
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6th Avenue, respected Mr. Hay's remarks but advised MLK
would never be built. Each time a development was close, they were pushed out and
something was going on that was not right. She implored the Board to wake up and
listen to the community.
Keturah Joseph, Executive Director, Boynton Beach Faith Based Community
Development Corporation, advised she has been attending the meetings for the past
eight months. She expressed her disappointment, as it appeared the Community
Redevelopment Agency would make a decision not to do anything in the community.
She was doubly disappointed with Mr. Hay's motion to cease negotiations. Auburn
indicated they would pay for the third party financial verification when the contract was
signed, and she expressed that was sound business judgment. If units were built, there
would be less crime. The Board's instruction to speak with the property owners was
9

March 10, 2009
vague and direct staff to use the funds to develop a plan for MLK. She urged the
members to reserve the MLK funds for the new plans.
Mack McCray, 806 NW 4th Street, applauded Mr. Hay's motion. He expressed the
community did not want a rushed project and the Board should be cognizant the project
was not what they wanted. The Community Redevelopment Agency staff is capable
and able to deliver. He requested the members step back and allow them to deliver.
Victor Norfus, 261 North Palm Drive. advised no other alternatives were brought
forward except for the Board's intentions to develop something in the future. He
acknowledged he could not vote for the Auburn policy without a plan or a financial
agreement, but it should not be killed either unless they had something to offer them.
The Board was not showing leadership.
Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18th Street, was in favor of Mr. Hay's comments as he was
watching out for the citizens in District II. His opinion was the developer was not
appropriate for Boynton Beach. He quoted articles regarding the Delray Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency and the Housing Authority, which indicated
Auburn's relationships with those entities were no longer viable. He explained a project
would be built; only the developer would change. He displayed an enlarged newspaper
article confirming his statement
Kevin Ballard, 550 NW 13th Avenue, a MLK property owner, inquired if they would
ever see a change on MLK Boulevard. He encouraged moving forward.
Herb Suss, 1711 Woodfern Drive, was in agreement with the motion and advised there
were 75 property owners unwilling to sell their property at market value. Two
Commissioners at a recent meeting in the MLK area left the meeting and did not hear
the comments of the residents. Additionally, a lobbyist was involved in the project and
that cost would be included in the development cost. He was in favor of developing the
MLK corridor. He suggested issuing another RFP and urged the Board to vote the
project down.
Brian Edwards, 629 NE 9th Avenue, recommended slowing down and thinking about
the matter before voting. He observed chastising and nit picking instead of addressing
the issue and felt there was room for discussion. He attended the meeting and only four
residents living in the project area attended. The Community Redevelopment Agency
Board had discussed the safety measures built into the contract He opined the
developer should have jumped on the financial agreement and not doing so gave an
impression something was hidden. The Board and staff had to take some leadership
and oversight of developers. If the company was worth negotiating with, there should
be room for more negotiation. If not, then it should be shared with the public. He added
the staff was excellent and he was upset to hear the staff talked down.
Nancy Chandler, 914 NE 7th Street, indicated a good attorney could write an airtight
contract. She read every Master Development Agreement and indicated it did not

protect Boynton. She attended the last meeting, and the only thing that changed was
the tall buildings were removed. She did not understand why the deal was falling apart.
She suggested someone watch the developer and ensure Boynton Beach was
protected.
Chair Taylor closed the floor to public hearing.
Chair Taylor agreed with Mr. Hay's motion. With regard to the third party financial
verification, Chair Taylor clarified Auburn originally agreed to pay $14,000, but they did
not like the party. They got another party at $70,000, and Auburn agreed to pay up to
$15,000 after an agreement was signed. So far, the Board spent $17 million in the Heart
of Boynton. The Community Redevelopment Agency, the City and the developer still
had to obtain the land and it may not be possible as some owners were asking absurd
amounts of money. Property owners could not be forced to sell. They could do
something with the land from individuals who did want to sell, such as infill housing, or a
grocery store which could help to remove bad elements; however, the earliest anything
would have occurred on the development was three years down the road, after Auburn
received their tax credits. There were many holes in the contract and the Community
Redevelopment Agency was responsible for a lot of money. Chair Taylor expressed the
Community Redevelopment Agency would make something happen and would ensure
the money remained for a project.
Vice Chair Rodriguez felt the effort they put forward over the last 18 months was worth
pursuing. He indicated the financial reviews were not the same. Vice Chair Rodriguez
also took exception to Mr. Wische's comments and publicly responded Mr. Wische
bashed Auburn but was seen sitting with Jim Comparato, the developer who wanted to
do the project. The residents in District II were going to suffer because of the politicking
that was occurring. The constituents want development and the developer did what
was asked. He respectfully requested Mr. Hay put a timeline to the request.
Chair Taylor explained although the Vice Chair left the meeting at the Sims Center, the
discussion was the developer would deliver something at the Community
Redevelopment Agency meeting and the public was advised that the Board would
decide whether they would move forward with the developer or take the project on by
themselves tonight.
Ms. Ross received confirmation that Nancy Chandler and Brian Edwards were from
INCA. She received an urgent email from someone from INCA indicating the agreement
was reviewed and should not be supported due to a clause it contained. Ms. Ross was
also frustrated. The negotiation process was extremely difficult and the agreement
unacceptable. After a period of months, her sense was it must stop. As a Community
Redevelopment Agency Board member, she takes her responsibilities seriously. She
was aware the crime issue was a priority and 75 landowners did not want to sell their
property. The Community Redevelopment Agency was not ready to sign a contract with
Auburn.

There was a vote on the motion that passed 3-2 (Vice Chair Rodriguez and Mr. Weiland
dissenting. )
2. Review of Board Direction Regarding Third Party Financial
Verification of Master Development Agreement with Auburn
Development, LLC.
Vice Chair Rodriguez requested the record reflect that they were not informed of the
differences between the two financial reviews.
B. Mangrove Maintenance RFP
1. Review of Responses and Ranking
2. Selection of Contractor
3. Approval of Contract Between Community Redevelopment Agency
and Environmental Design South
Last month the Board rescinded the contract with Native Technologies and staff was
given permission to issue an RFP. Seven responses were received, which were ranked
and aggregated. Staff recommended using Environmental Design South and advised by
doing so, they would save money in the budget over the next two years. Jaycee Park
and part of the Promenade were the areas needing to be serviced.
A short discussion of an email sent by Ms. Brooks to Native Technologies was held.
Native Technologies would not pick up the certified mail staff sent terminating the
contract. Ms. Brooks sent them an email with a letter attachment advising them they
were served. Attorney Cherof advised service via e-mail was a means of substitute
notice.
Motion
Mr. Hay moved to approve Environmental Design South. Vice Chair Rodriguez
seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
C. Consideration of Approval to Issue a RFP to Solicit Bids from Contractors
for the Boynton Harbor Marina Slip Renovation Project
Mike Simon, Development Manager, reviewed the item. On October 14, 2008, the
Board approved a work order to issue an RFP to solicit bids from contractors to perform
the slip renovation project at the Boynton Harbor Marina. MSCW provided staff with
assistance in writing the RFP and would oversee the pre-bid conference, provide
technical assistance to bidders and review and rank the respondents. Staff
recommended issuing the RFP and anticipated the amount would be between $450,000
to $650,000.

COMMUNITY COMMITTEE MEETING
QUESTIONS/COMMENTS
Jeff Wooster - RTG - Building 8 Single Family (Green) Homes in the Community - $180K
to $220
1. From a developer's perspective the biggest challenge is the "neighborhood". It
is now a buyer's market so for the price of his houses buyer's can go to a nicer, safer
neighborhood for the same price.
Code Enforcement - U~al Dumoina
Lisa Bright wanted feedback from the group regarding a hotline that people could
call to advise of illegal dumping. The phone calls would come to the CRA office.
1 . Myra Jones commented that the hotline would be helpful but that it needed to
be the community's responsibility also and that some type of incentive would make
the community more involved.
2. Margaret Newton (4th Street) was concerned about dumping in the alley ways
and the "encouragement" of dumping on certain lots because the City always
cleans It up so the people assume they are allowed to dump there.
3. Scott Blasie (City Code Enforcement} commented that the City could consider
giving the alley ways to the property owners so that they cotltd maintain the alleys
and fence them off so no dumping could occur. THIS IS ONE OF THE PRIORITIES. Mr.
Blasie also commented that getting rid of the EZ Mart would be a big improvement.
The problem with EZ Mal't is they were offered $1 .9 million from Auburn and they really
don't want to accept anything less. If the EZ Mart was purchased it would take up
the $1.3 - $1.5 million the eRA has for the community,
4. The discussion of tearing down the Luci apartments due to code violation liens
might be considered. Scott Blasie advised the group that foreclosing on the opts.
was a legal maffer and that it didn't necessarily mean the opts. can be torn down.
THIS IS ONE OF THE PRIORITIES. CRA STAFF WAS GOING TO INQUIRE WITH THE CITY
ABOUT ENFORCING THE FORECLOSURE OF THE APTS. DUE TO CODE VIOLATION LIENS.
Octavia Ben's Prooertv
I. Myra Jones requested that the eRA have sketches done of Octavia Bell's
property to be presented to her to encourage her to participate in the Commercial
Fayade Grant. Ms. Jones also advised that spealdng to Ms. Bert's brother Mr. King
may help encourage her olso.
2. CRA staff advised that the CRA cannot make private land owners do anything
they don't want to do.
T:\DEVELOPMENT\HOB\HOB Community Committee\Summary of 4 .13.09 Meeting.doc
3, Myra Jones stated that if the eRA did one "super" project the rest of the land
owners would follow. A1torney Riles' property could be used as an example.
4. Lisa Bright asked what would be the appropriate way to approach Ms. Bell. It
was suggested to take a group to meet with her. Lesha Roundtree wanted to be
included in the group to meet with Octavia Bell.
3 City owned lots (arocerv store location)
1 . Sherry Johnson commented that using the lots to expand neighborhood talent
would be a good utilization of the property. for example, expand Mr. Robert's
business to add a market and some type of seating for diners.
2. A "local" market rather than a grocery store. Make a safe place where people
can go to pick up the basics and make it comfortable for the seniors.
3. Barbara Ready had suggested putting an open air Farmer's Market that could be
closed up at night. Sherry Johnson reiterated that she would like the local business
owners to use the property first,
4. CRA staff commented that a community garden, which had been successful in
other blighted areas, might be a good use of the property.
5. Lesha Roundtree commented that there were already community gardens on ) Qlh
and Seacrest that were not be used sufficiently so why do another one?
Crime THIS IS ONE OF THE PRIORITIES.
1. lesha Roundtree advised that the biggest factor was crime and how people
linger around businesses (loitering). She wanted to know why businesses weren 't
being built on 1 Qlh?
2. Lisa Bright advised the group that Mr. Norfus had put together a Neighborhood
Watch of 20 people and presented it to the City Commission.
3 TOP PRIORITIES
1. Demolition of luci Apts.

A. Review of Appraisal for Two Vacant Lots on NE 9th Avenue Owned by
Wayde King
Vivian Brooks, Assistant Director, reported staff had contacted the property owners
within the MLK corridor in order to gauge asking prices and the owners' willingness to
sell. Mr. King was asking $275,000 for two 50' x 150' vacant lots on NE 9th Avenue.
The lots were appraised at $55,000 each. Ms. Brooks had advised Mr. King of the
appraised value, but he had not yet indicated whether he would accept a lower price,
She believed Mr. King might be awaiting direction from the Board before rendering a
decision. Ms. Brooks sought direction from the Board and cited the following options:
. Agree to purchase the lots for $275,000;
. Present a counter-offer at the appraised value;
. Do not purchase the lots; or
. Direct staff to continue to purchase property in the target area, recommending a
percentage above the appraised value that would be acceptable.
Ms. Brooks noted there was no immediate need for the land. The City and the CRA had
acquired land over time and the ownership pattern had not yielded any significant
contiguous parcels of land that were of interest to developers. Community
Redevelopment Agencies land banked property during down markets.
Chair Taylor did not favor purchasing the lots, as there were no plans to do anything
with those lots or other land currently owned by the CRA. Vice Chair Hay believed it
would be necessary at some point to determine a percentage to offer above the
appraised value, but felt 60% above appraisal was absurd. Chair Taylor did not believe
a blanket percentage should be established for all lots, and that each lot should be
considered individually. Mr. Weiland believed the eRA should continue to land bank and
believed land should be purchased at the present time, when prices were down,
whether the funds were available or were to be borrowed. He would not agree to any
more than 10% or 15% above the appraised value. Mr. Rodriguez would not agree to
7
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
April 14, 2009
any more than the appraised value. Ms. Ross expressed surprise that purchase prices
were not more favorable during the current economic downturn.
Ms. Brooks pointed out the lots had originally been appraised at $100/000 at the time
Requests for Proposals were sought for Phase 1. It was her feeing Mr. King would not
accept the lower appraised value of $55/000 for each lot.
Vice Chair Hay agreed with Chair Taylor in terms of setting percentages individually for
each project and would agree to offer Mr. King an amount between $75/000 and
$100/000 for the lots.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to offer the appraisal price on the property. Mr. Weiland
seconded the motion that passed 4-1 (Chair Tay/or dissenting).
B. Review of Appraisal for Commercial Property Located at 111 NE 9th
Avenue Owned by UlusoyjTurku
Ms. Brooks noted the property was adjacent to the Jesus House of Worship and just
east of one of the lots owned by Mr. King. The property was a single-family residence
on commercially-designated land. The owners were asking $300/000 for the property/
which was appraised at $180/000. If the property had been solely residential, it would
have been appraised at $110,000. Ms. Brooks had informed the owners of the
appraised value, and they requested she present an offer. Ms. Brooks did not believe it
would be beneficial to the City to set a precedent at 40% above the appraised value if
the CRA were going to continue to land bank. Chair Taylor reminded Ms. Brooks that
the Board had indicated its wish to purchase at the appraised value and not a
percentage above. He inqUired whether there were funds in the budget for purchases.
Ms. Brooks responded the budget contained a line item of $1.6 million that had been
set aside for the MLK project. Any monies utilized from the line item to purchase new
land would reduce the monies available to redevelop property already owned by the
CRA.
Ms. Harris clarified the money provided for in the budget line item was $1/066,000 plus
an additional $650/000 for the purchase of land in the MLK corridor, for a total of $1.6
or $1.7 million.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to offer the appraisal price on the property. Mr. Weiland
seconded the motion that passed 4-1 (Chair Tay/or dissenting).

Boynton Beach, Florida
April 14, 2009
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to approve the project and the dollars. Ms. Ross seconded the
motion.
Ms. Ross believed the project would add a nice touch to the Heart of Boynton
community, In this economy, art and beautification would go a long way. Mr.
Rodriguez felt the project would provide an immediate positive effect. Mr. Weiland
indicated he would support the project at a later date.
The motion failed 2-3 (Chair TayloJ; Wee Chair Hay and Mr, Weiland dissenting).
Mr. Rodriguez inquired whether the $10,000 could be allocated to the Residential
Improvement Program (RIP). Chair Taylor believed the Board had agreed not to
allocate any additional monies into the Residential Improvement Program (RIP) when
the issue was discussed. He suggested Mr. Rodriguez revisit the item at the next
meeting,
XII. New Business:
A. Consideration of Amendment No.3 to Kimley-Horn Continuing Contract
Ms, Brooks noted the item related to the design of the Seacrest streetscape
beautification project from Boynton Beach Boulevard north to the C-16 Canal. The
project had been awarded Federal Stimulus funding of $1.9 million. Kimley-Horn was
currently under contract for the design, and had been under contract since 2007,
Amendment No.2 with Kimley-Horn pertained to work associated with the potential
narrowing of Seacrest Avenue. Work ceased when it was determined the community
had not favored the project. The purchase order had since remained open,
Amendment No.3 addressed the expanded scope of the project. There would be no
additional charge to the CRA, as Amendment No.3 would replace Amendment No.2.
The City Manager, Ms. Bright, Ms. Brooks and the City Engineers met with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FOOT) on the project. It appeared the FOOT
representative would do everything she could to ensure the project would go forward.
Vice Chair Hay expressed concern that if an environmental study of the Seacrest
corridor had not been made within the specified time, the funding would not be
available. Ms. Brooks responded the 120-day guideline did not apply to projects for
which monies had been allocated through the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) process. The CRA would have nine or ten months to complete the study, which
was feasible.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
April 14, 2009
Mr. Rodriguez inquired whether the streetscape plan had been presented to the citizens
within the last year. Ms. Brooks advised the slides of the conceptual plan had been
presented at the March 31st community meeting. Vice Chair Hay inquired whether there
would be another opportunity for the public to view the plan before it was finalized.
Ms. Brooks would contact Kimley-Horn to determine whether a mock-up could be
prepared for presentation in Commission Chambers. It could also be presented at the
next meeting of the citizens' committee. Ms. Brooks added staff was desirous of further
enhancing the landscaping.
Kurt Bressner, City Manager, responded to Vice Chair Hay's inquiry. He reported on
the success of the meeting with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), City
and CRA staff, the County and environmental representatives. Listed below are
questions posed by City and CRA staff, together with the FDOrs responses.
. Question: Can a design-build contract be used? (The City Commission had
considered adopting a piggyback contract with Burkhardt Construction.)
. Response: No. With the use of federal dollars, the actual construction work
would likely have to be bid out, and the procurement process used might not
meet Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standards.
. Question: What is the timeline for a design-build cycle?
. Response: The design should be completed in substantial form by June 2008.
Mr. Bressner advised that in order to meet the benchmark dates, the scope of the
project would have to be refined in terms of verifying all the components. The
streetscape project would require landscaping the center median and possibly putting
up streetlights. There might be areas of opportunity for enhanced landscaping
involving either land swaps or easements from the City or the CRA in order to provide
parking areas.
Mr. Bressner noted the environmental representatives suggested staying away from the
C-16 Canal which would trigger environmental reviews and prolong the project. The
project should be under construction no later than March 2010. Logistics should be
worked out regarding Local Agency Provider (LAP) certification. City staff was certified
to perform enhancement projects. However, the Florida Department of Transportation
was willing to work with the City to upgrade staffs certification to include bridges and
roads, allowing the City to serve as the project manager. As reflected in the scope of
work, Kimley-Horn could perform this service as a backup, if necessary. While County
staff was Local Agency Provider (LAP) certified, they were consumed with too many
other projects to serve as the project manager. The County would be required to issue

permits for the work which would occur on their right-of-way. While this was
acceptable to the County, the permitting process would have to be built into the
timeline for the design work. Permit applications were required to be submitted to the
County by mid-May for review and approval.
Chair Taylor requested a motion on the consideration of Amendment No. 3 for Kimley-
Horn to continue the contract.
Motion
Mr. Hay moved to approve. Ms. Ross seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
XIII. Future Agenda Items
A. Brownfield Designation
B. Heart of Boynton Work Program Options
C. Contract with EZ Mart
XIV. Comments by Staff
Ms. Brooks advised staff had received a verbal confirmation from Gary Nikolits, the
Palm Beach County Appraiser, regarding the Southern Boundary Amendment. His office
would be providing an updated map and associated database spreadsheet. This would
assist staff with the creation of its Tax Increment Financing (TIF) database.
xv. Comments by Executive Director
Staff met with the community on March 31st to discuss the development of a workable
plan which would be brought before the Board no later than June 2009. More than 22
interested parties signed up to participate in future meetings. Staff met with the
community again on April 20, 2009. Discussions pertained to the following:
. Continued exploration of the cooperative market and grocery store;
. Possible consideration by the CRA of demolition grants to remove troubled
properties; and
. Opportunities for the CRA to make recommendations for the City to consider the
use of CRA funds for liens and foreclosures.

XVII. Comments by CRA Board
Vice Chair Hay inquired as to the status of the EZ Mart. Ms. Bright advised she had
been contacted by the broker. The property would present the same challenges in
terms of creating a value for the strip club on the southern end, as it appeared the
records were not accurate. Staff was looking into obtaining the value of a nuisance
business, and Attorney Cherof was in the process of securing the authorization of the
property owner.
Vice Chair Hay requested an update regarding the boarded property on MLK Boulevard.
Ms. Bright advised staff had been working with Scott Blasie, Code Compliance
Administrator, on this matter. People had been prying the boards loose and using the
property for nefarious purposes. A pathway existed between the property and the EZ
Mart. Mr. Lucci's property had been shut down for at least two years, and Code liens
had been issued against his property. If it were the Board's desire, staff would prepare
a budget to determine the costs of foreclosing on the liens. Vice Chair Hay expressed
his desire for staff to remain focused on the issue.
Mr. Rodriguez inquired whether subsidies had been provided for the Promenade, Las
Ventanasr Sunshine Square or the Carolyn Sims Center. Ms. Bright responded as
follows:
. The Promenade. She believed there was a direct incentive of $8 million. The
agreement provided the value of the tax increment would be shared 50% for 10
years.
. Las Ventanas. The CRA did not have anything to do with the project other than
land use and zoning issues.
. Sunshine Square. A commercial facade grant of $15,000 had been provided.
. Carolyn Sims Center. This was a City project.

Dear Committee Members,
I have rec:eivecllTIl1ll1l than three phone calls from individuals questioning the potential purchase of this prli)jMlty by the CRA. This
is INCORRECT information.
1.) The EZ Mart was offmld $1.9 milUon from Auburn Development. To my knowledge, this contract is no longer in effect
and included all three parcels owned by Mr. Ghali.
2.) The CRA staff reoelved a contract from the EZ Mart's representative in the amount of $1.3 miDJon. This contract was
NOT presented to the CRA Board.
3.) The CRA staff is planning to bring it to the CRA Board at next week's meeting on May 12l/l if it has been reviewed and
acceptable to CRA counsel.
I hope this clarifies the outstanding EZ Mart contract and we can discu$S this at tomorrow's meeting at the Women's Club at 6:00
p.m.
Sincerely,
Lisa

COMMUNITY COMMITTEE MEETING
QUESTIONS/COMMENTS
Dr. Martha Meeks-Liqht Memo
Dr. Martha Meeks-Light had a memo that was addressed by issue
throughout the meeting.
Dr. Martha Meeks-Light (at the end of the meeting) stated that she would
like to know when hiring positions came available at the CRA because
she felt there was not enough diversity (no African Americans employed
at CRA) in the CRA staff. Lisa Bright advised that she follows the Federal
Laws for hiring and, by law, that prior to a personal interview is not allowed
to ask a person their nationality and/or skin color.
Affordable Housina
1. Dr. Martha Meeks-Light advised that she did not feel affordable
housing should be built in the area at this time. Money should not be
spent on new houses when the market would not support the sale of
those houses.
2. Vivian Brooks suggested purchasing vacant lots and work with Habitat
for Humanity (and such organizations) whereby the land cost would be
taken out of the costs for the homeowner. This would stabilize the
neighborhood. It seemed that the group did not want any money spent
on housing due to the market condition.
EZ Mart
1. Instead of purchasing the EZ Mart move forward with negotiations for
the Brandom property (located @ 112 NW 10th Avenue) and adjacent
properties. That would cut down the drug activity that takes place at the
EZ Mart. The properties would then go to the City for the Sara Sims Park.
2. Negotiate with the owner of EZ Mart. Make a counter offer to the $1.3
million dollar asking price. However, it should be more than the appraised
property value because that did not include the business portion.
2. An immediate solution to stopping some of the undesirable flow to EZ
Mart would be to barricade 9th Court. Eventually the road could be
abandoned with V2 going to the Sara Sims Park and the other 1/2 to the
property owner to the South.
3. Sgt. DeGiulio addressed the issue of Trespassing Agreements for the
properties located near EZ Mart. He explained that any abandoned
property can have a Trespassing Agreement between the property owner
and the police. This allows the police to directly address the issue of
trespassing with any individual reported on the abandoned property
without having to call the property owner first. He explained that the only
cost was for the signage (approx. $50 per sign).
Code Lien Foreclosures
1. Scott Blasie advised that the Code Board has voted to foreclose on the
properties with excessive liens. The issue will go before the City
Commission. CRA may want to work with the City to purchase those
properties since the liens are more than the properties are worth. Title
work is being done now.
Lightinq
1. Lisa Bright advised that the CRA had placed lighting on the Jesus
House of Worship to deter crime.
2. Dr. Martha Meeks-Light asked if more lighting could be placed at Sara
Sims Park and if the CRA could work with the City in taking care of broken
lights in the area.
CRA Hotline
1. CRA would like to have a hotline (separate phone line at the CRA
office) that would be designated for neighborhood concerns (no matter
what the concern would be). The CRA staff would then be able to direct
the calls to the appropriate department whether it be City, CRA, Utilities,
etc.... depending on the matter.
Police
1. Dr. Martha Meeks-Light emphasized that the additional CRA Police was
money spent well. Aaron Evans inquired if there was a shortage of police
in the HOB area. Sgt. DeGiulio explained that there was adequate
policing and that his unit was in addition to the regular police unit for that
area.
Alley Abandonment
A map of all the current alleys was handed out to all attendees.
1. Vivian Brooks suggested that she could immediately begin working on
giving those alleyways to the appropriate property owners. It would still
allow utility access but would prevent everyone else from using them for
illegal dumping, etc...
2. Berms could be placed at alley openings to keep traffic out. The
property owners would gain the alleyway as yard. This would promote
beautification and have a direct effect on crime.
3. This project could happen within a year.
Economic Development
1. CRA applied for a Brownfield Grant which would provide funds
available to property owners in order to "clean up" their properties with
contamination (i.e. gas stations, dry cleaners, etc.....)
2. Some of the money that was going to be given to Auburn can be set
aside for revolving micro loans for local businesses. Micro loans could be
given to businesses for their immediate needs (anywhere from $100 to
$10,000). The loans would be at minimal interest rates.
3. Classes could be held to teach local business owners how to prepare
business plans and the requirements to start a new business and/or
improve an existing business.
Ocean Breeze
1. The Ocean Breeze Project is expected not to move forward due to the
current market conditions.
2. Keturah Joseph suggested that the property be on hold (land bank)
until the market gets better.
3. Dr. Martha Meeks-Light was concerned that if nothing was done with
the property the community would be upset.
4. Keturah Joseph suggested putting the project back out to RFP with the
likelihood of no responses. That way the community would know that the
CRA was trying to move forward but no developers were responding.
RIP Program
1. Vivian Brooks explained that the CRA has a Residential Improvement
Program (RIP) which has already fulfilled $500,000 in grant money to
homeowners within HOB. Even though the grant applies to the entire CRA
District all but one grant had been used within HOB.
2. The CRA RIP grant differs from the City in that it is less money and the
CRA does not place a lien on the homeowner's property (the City does).
PRIORITIES
The group decided on the following as priorities:
. Aggregate City and CRA properties
. EZ Mart Purchase (negotiate purchase price)
. Brandom Property Purchase
. Luchey Property Purchase
. Provide Technical Assistance to Business Owners
. Issue RFP for east side of Ocean Breeze for SF Homes
. Issue RFP for west side of Ocean Breeze for SF Homes
. Residential Improvement Program Grants
. Commercial Node-opportunity buys on MLK
. Close off 9th Court immediately
. Keep policing

SUBJECT: Heart of Boynton Strategies - Community Committee Recommendations
SUMMARY:
. At the March 10, 2009 CRA meeting the Board directed staff to work with the HOB community to develop an
action plan for the funds set aside for the MLK project.
. Staff arranged for a community meeting on March 31 sl which was held at the Carolyn Sims Center.
. At the March 31 sl meeting, the community provided input on what the priorities were to redevelop the
area. (See Tab 1- Community Comments/Concerns)
. At that meeting, community members were encouraged to participate in a Community Committee forum.
A sign-up sheet was provided (See Tab 2 - March 31 Community Committee Sign~Up Sheet).
. The first meeting of the Community Committee was held at the Woman's Club on April13lh. (See Tab 3 --
Notification Letter, Agenda, Sign-In Sheet and Community Committee Meeting Questions/Comments)
. The second meeting of the Community Committee was held at the Woman's Club on May 6th. (See Tab 4-
Notification Letter, Agenda, Sign-In Sheet, Potential Projects for the Heart of Boynton Community and
Community Committee Meeting Questions/Comments)
. Based on the Committees votes at the May 6th meeting, the consensus was to initially focus efforts and
funding on quality of life issues in order to increase the community's desirability as a place to live and do
business. Recommended strategies are:
1. Nuisance Properties - Purchase or assist the City in its efforts to foreclose on code liens on
properties located at the south side of NW 10th A venue between Seacrest and NW 1 sl Street.
(See Tab 5 - Map of Nuisance Properties to be Acquired) The code lien amounts exceed the
value of the property and the mortgages.
The CRA is presently in negotiation with one of the property owners to purchase 112 NW 10th
Ave. If the property can be purchased without going through the foreclosure process it will save
a significant amount of legal funds.

. East Side-West Side-Seas.lde Renaissance
The Committee felt that while the EZ Mart was a nuisance property, a counter offer should be
made by the Board that was more in line with values in the area. They also felt that by
removing the properties on NW 1 ath Avenue, that many of the problems at the EZ Mart would
be alleviated.
The Committee felt that using the code lien foreclosure process will encourage owners of these
blighted properties to negotiate to sell.
The Committee also felt that by getting rid of these properties it would greatly reduce the local
convenience store loitering problem.
2. Code EnforcementlNei2hborhood Issues Hotline - The Committee felt that the community
could assist redevelopment efforts if a hotline was established and marketed to the community.
The CRA has a phone line that is available for such a hotline. Residents could call in
anonymously to leave tips about crime, illegal trash dumping, etc. CRA staff would then pass
on the information to the appropriate parties to handle, such as Code Compliance, Utilities,
Public Works, CRA police, etc. CRA staff would also track the outcome of the calls.
3. Trash Pick-UD - The Committee felt that the continual dumping of debris on vacant lots and in
alleys diminished the quality of life for residents. An as-needed debris removal was discussed
and the Committee felt it had merit. The CRA would be responsible for either contacting Public
Works for removal of the debris if it was on a public right-of-way or using one of the CRA
contractors to remove it if the debris is located on private land.
4. CRA Policin2 - The Committee felt strongly that the CRA Police have had a positive impact
on reducing crime in the community and want to continue with the program.
5. CPTED Initiatives - CRA Staff and the CRA Police have been working to institute measures
that help reduce the opportunity to commit crime in HOB. One recent initiative was to place
bright lights on a CRA owned building at 9th and Seacrest to illuminate dark spots where
loitering occurs. The Committee suggested closing NW 9th immediately and add lighting to
Sara Sims Park.
6. Allev/Easement Abandonment and Closure - A Committee member came up with this idea.
Currently, there are 24 unused alleys and easements in the HOB community. The City does not
use these for trash pick-up. However, debris is constantly being dumped in the alleys and the
City is responsible for removing it.
Closure of the alleys is also a CPTED initiative as it prevents access to the backs of homes.
The first step is to get the alleys legally abandoned by the City. Next, the CRA will design a
closure structure, such as a landscaped berm for each end of the alleys to prevent vehicular
T:\AGENDAS, CONSENT AGENDAS. MONTHLY REPORTS\Completed Agenda Item Request Fonns by Meeting\FY 2008 - 2009 Board
Meetings\5-12-09 Meeting\HOB Strategies.doc
access. Abandonment of the alleys and easements means that the property goes onto the tax
rolls.
The Committee felt strongly that economic development initiatives should be undertaken sooner rather than
later. Recommended strategies included:
1. Imorove the Exterior and Interior of ExistiJl2 BQsiDesses - The CRA' s Commercial
Fa9ade Grant program only allows the business or property owner to improve the exterior of the
business. The Committee felt that both interior and exterior improvements should be allowed by the
program and that the amount should be increased.
2. Provide Technical Assistance to BusiDess and ProoertY Owners - The Committee discussed
that classes should be provided to local business owners or prospective business owners on such
topics as business plans, tax, marketing, etc. would be helpful to existing and future business
owners. They also felt that the CRA could provide assistance to property owners by creating
drawings and site plans to assist them with developing or improving their property along MLK.
2. Micro-loan Fund - Many start-ups and small businesses cannot access credit and capital especially
in these economic times. The CRA could partner with a SBA intermediary such as the Business
Loan Fund of the Palm Beaches to provide start-up capital to local businesses.
Committee members discussed housing development and rehabilitation in HOB. There was discussion of the
existing market conditions and the challenges to developing housing in the neighborhood. Two strategies
supported by the Committee are:
1. Reissue RFP for the East Side of Ocean Breeze - The Committee acknowledges that while the
market has challenges, it was felt that the east side of Ocean Breeze should be put out for proposal.
2. Residential Imorovement Pr02ram Grants - The Committee felt that this was a worthwhile
program to continue to conduct. The also recommended that the amount of funding be increased.
There was discussion ofthe Phase I MLK Project which is approximately 7.5 acres. The Committee felt that
the acquisition of property was not as important as Quality of Life issues and Economic Development.
However, the Committee agreed on the following strategies:
1. Property Ownershio - Combine ownership of the CRA and City properties along MLK
2. Prooerty Acauisition - Continue opportunity buys when they are adjacent to parcels already owned, the

would provide a follow-up on this item next month. At Mr. Rodriguez's request, Ms. Bright would
also respond via email.
D. Planning and Development Board Meeting Agenda -April 28, 2009
E. Budget Information FY 2009-2010
F. CRA Press Releases
G. Social Capital: The Second Tipping Point
Chair Taylor noted he found the information in Item G very helpful and was glad it was included
in the agenda. The information was from a planner/developer who discusses when planning to
develop a community, the community and culture of it as a whole should be studied in order to
determine its needs.
Ms. Bright reported she had spoken with their representative and he would work with the
Community Redevelopment Agency, speak with the Youth Violence Prevention participants and
other youth groups over the summer. Ms. Ross also thought it was appropriate, especially
since May was Mental Health Month.
IX. Public Comments: (Note: comments are limited to 3 minutes in duration)
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, wanted to discuss the renegotiation of the Community
Redevelopment Agency rent. It was explained that item was approved via the Consent Agenda.
He inquired if the lease was signed because the staff had complained about foul odors in the
office cause by decaying animals under the structure.
Ms. Brooks responded the issue was addressed and due to the budget, staff did not feel it was
the appropriate time to expand or use other space.
Chair Taylor closed the public audience.

A. Heart of Boynton Strategies - Community Committee Recommendations
Vivian Brooks explained due to the demise of the MLK Corridor Redevelopment Project, staff
was directed at the March Board meeting to develop a strategy in cooperation with the
community on how to use the funds set aside for the MLK project. On March 31, 2009, there
was a community meeting at the Sara Sims Center, and a sign-up sheet circulated inquiring if
individuals would like to serve on a Community Committee. A spreadsheet was distributed to
the Board reflecting the individuals who volunteered.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
May 12, 2009
The Community Committee determined that due to the fragmented ownership along MLK
Boulevard, the project was currently not feasible because not all property owners would sell at
the same time. It was not a near-term project. Quality of life initiatives were suggested to be
the focus because without improving the quality of life, it would be difficult to ask individuals to
purchase homes or open businesses in the area.
In regard to the MLK and Seacrest corridors, the community felt development should be phased
where there was the greatest amount of assembled land. Combining Community
Redevelopment Agency and City properties under one ownership was suggested as was
continuing opportunity purchases in the area when the land was adjacent to City and
Community Redevelopment Agency owned properties.
The residents identified nuisance properties. EZ Mart was repeatedly noted to be a problem.
Multi-family dwellings west of Seacrest on MLK were mostly shuttered, and all of them had
Code Enforcement Liens exceeding the mortgage or value of the property. The residents were
also concerned with littering, trash/dumping. crime and loitering.
A strategy to rid the neighborhood of nuisance properties was through foreclosure or purchase.
The properties near NW 10th always have trash and drug activity. Staff was in negotiation with
one of the owners of the property there. The other properties had liens exceeding the mortgage
amount. It was suggested the Community Redevelopment Agency set funds aside for legal fees
to start foreclosure proceedings.
A map Showing where there were opportunities to buy land was reviewed which included
nuisance properties. Discussion followed at what point the City could move forward and pursue
shutting down properties with excessive liens.
Jim Cherof, Community Redevelopment Agency Board Counsel, advised if the Code
Enforcement Board requested it be foreclosed, the City could move forward 90 days after the
lien was recorded. He clarified not all liens automatically resulted in foreclosure. It was
suggested the City look at foreclosing those properties or demolishing them.
It was emphasized the community felt strongly about the recommendation and the message
was they would not tolerate it. There was $140,000 owed between two of the properties and it
could be an opportunity purchase.
The Community Redevelopment Agency had property they could exchange with the City to help
square off a block as it would be very difficult to redevelop a block even as single-family infill.
They have been making opportunity purchases over the years. Community Redevelopment
Agency purchases there would be given to the City in their effort to expand Sara Sims Park.
Combining ownership along the Phase I MLK area would involve fees and transactional costs.
Funds for property acquisition and opportunity buys. when appropriate and they are adjacent to
what is owned to expand parcel sizes. would be set aside. Staff also set aside monies for a
feasibility analysis of the grocery store/co-operative.
Alleyway/easement abandonment and closures could reduce dumping. There were 22 alleys in
the Heart of Boynton that were not used for trash pickup, and are a common dumping ground.
Staff would set aside money for the abandonments and close the alleys with landscaping and a
berm. It was noted both the community and Police Department liked the concept. The alleyways
5
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida

would be evenly split between the abutting property owners, thereby expanding their properties.
The land would be added to the tax rolls, and the homeowner would be responsible for
maintaining the property. The property owner would not have to consent to the abandonment.
Funds would be allocated for legal expenses and reimbursement of the City staff and Engineer's
time.
The City Commission would be required to pass an Ordinance to abandon the alleyways, and
then it would become automatic since the alleyway would no longer serve a public purpose. The
Community Committee also indicated the residents had no objection to assuming the additional
tax burden. Existing utility easements would remain. Staff indicated it would be a fairly simple
way to fix a longstanding community problem.
Creating a Code Enforcement/Crime Hotline for the Heart of Boynton so residents could report
trash and improper activities was suggested. Staff could then alert the Police to the calls they
receive and determine where the "hot" zones were. Staff also proposed to add a line item for
trash removal on all sites. not just on Community Redevelopment Agency property. Trash is
often dumped, and since the owner does not live there, it could remain for a month or more. In
this manner, the trash could be addressed expeditiously.
Community Policing through Environmental Design was discussed. One way to use the
concept was to install lighting in problem areas, such as the Jesus House of Worship Church.
Installing lighting at Sara Sims Park was suggested, as was continuing with the Community
Redevelopment Agency Policing program. The community felt crime was reduced.
The residents felt economic development in the area was needed and requested assistance be
given to upgrade the exterior of businesses along MLK Boulevard. Currently, there are two
existing businesses there and funds for two Fac;ade Grants were set aside for them. They also
requested technical assistance be provided to business and property owners to help them
envision what could be done with their properties. Holding classes at the Carolyn Sims Center
on the weekends or evenings for individuals interested in starting a business or improving
existing businesses and properties was suggested. Staff would set aside funds and issue an
RFP for the classes as there were several providers that could be utilized such as the
Workforce Alliance and SCORE. The Chamber of Commerce offered tax assistance and Small
Business Development assistance was available.
SBA was a minority business administration that could offer assistance. Intermediaries of SBA
offered training - some free and others with a cost. Staff explained it would take a while to
identify what the needs of the clients were. Mr. Rodriguez recommended using agencies that
provided free services before spending tax dollars. Ms. Bright agreed.
Many individuals were interested in starting up small businesses. The community thought
providing start-up monies to purchase equipment for businesses in the Heart of Boynton would
be helpful. The Community Redevelopment Agency could partner with the Community Loan
Fund and deposit monies earmarked for Community Redevelopment Agency businesses. The
Community Loan Fund was comprised of banks having funds in the program. It is partially
funded by the County, the Small Business Administration and the bank members. A Board
manages the program and determines which businesses would be funded. Ms. Brooks clarified
the Community Redevelopment Agency is not in the lending business.

Meeting Minutes

Housing development was not an immediate priority. The community expressed before
encouraging individuals to move into the area, it needed to be improved. Staff dedicated about
$160,000 in the budget and the Board just approved $140,000. Supplementing that amount
until the funds were expended could be authorized. The Committee was amenable to using
some of the MLK monies to provide additional Residential Improvement Grants.
Mr. Rodriguez left the dais at 7:01 p.rn.
The Community Committee suggested reissuing the RFP for the east side of Ocean Breeze.
Monies would be set aside for advertising and legal costs to review the RFP and staff could
return to the Board for direction of what to put there. Mr. Weiland advised he met with
individuals who may be interested in locating a small grocery store in the area. Ms. Bright
confirmed she received a call, and it could be that commercial entities should be in the area as
opposed to residential. Additionally. funds for seven more residential improvement grants would
be set aside.
Sherry Johnson, Community Caring Center and the Green Market, was interested in a grocery
co-op. Details, such as who would own the building and other items would have to be
researched in order to determine what would make it feasible. Generally, grocery businesses,
whether for profit or non-profit, were not moneymakers and this was a Farmer's Market type of
concept. Staff would set aside money for a feasibility analysis of the grocery store/food co-op.
Mr. Rodriguez returned to the dais at 7:03 p.m.
The total set aside for the MLK Project was $1.66 million. The suggestions came from the
Community Committee, whose number one concern was quality of life and then economic
development.
A breakdown of how monies would be allocated to the different strategies was discussed.
There was agreement services should not be duplicated. Code Enforcement has a telephone
number to call, the Police Department had postcards to send in expressing concerns of
residents, and Public Works could be contacted regarding trash. Ms. Bright clarified the
Community Redevelopment Agency does not typically pick up trash on private property.
Residents also do not know what parcels are owned by the City or the Community
Redevelopment Agency. Education was key. Putting notices in the water bill and airing the
information on BBTV was suggested. Even posting properties to advise residents where to call
to report items could be helpful. The hotline would be an all-inclusive number. There was
agreement staff should market the effort through existing programs.
Staff would return to the Board with information on the micro-loan fund, if approved
conceptually, and provide finite numbers. The Community Redevelopment Agency would
supplement the Community Loan Fund, and set aside for the Community Redevelopment
Agency businesses to access. Applicants would work through the loan process, which is for
first-time and minority-owned businesses.
Chair Taylor was impressed with the Community Committee and how many residents were
involved. There was a large turnout from the Heart of Boynton Community, and he was
encouraged. The Board was receiving input and direction.

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, Florida
May 12, 2009
Mr. Weiland inquired about the economic development grants to improve interiors and exteriors.
Staff responded the Facade Grant program had changes. Business owners build-out their
interiors, which is more expensive than painting an exterior. Sometimes the exterior of the
building does not need improvement. Most businesses need help with their interiors; however,
businesses cannot not receive assistance from the City. The Board received this type of request
in the past and the Board was not receptive to the request. Ms. Bright expressed it was a
worthy program. There were not very many programs to help with expansion and it appeared to
be a deterrent for launching small business development. As a result, staff had to identify
where the deficits were and how to address them. The grant was only available once every
three years. Staff was reviewing appropriate changes to make in the program, however, after
discussion, it was decided the item would be discussed at the end of the budget.
Mr. Weiland inquired if setting funds aside for a micro-loan fund would put the Community
Redevelopment Agency in the position of being in the banking business. Ms. Brooks clarified it
would not; it would be handled through the Community Loan Fund which has loan officers and
handles collections. Staff would work with the business and bring them forward. The Community
Loan Fund was a non-profit agency, funded in partnership with the County, and partially by the
bank membership, similar to a federal home-loan bank concept. It was dedicated to minority-
owned and micro-businesses. Small loans are issued and the loans are collateralized. It was
also similar to the service provided by the Community Development Corporations to the
Community Redevelopment Agency. They were intermediaries. Chair Taylor shared Mr.
Weiland's concern and thought funding interior repairs should be examined more closely.
The micro-loan program was a revolving loan. Collateral could be inventory, equipment, or
personal property. Ms. Bright suggested the Loan Fund could act as the intermediary, and staff
appropriate monies. She indicated staff would bring additional information back to the Board,
specifically about what happens if the business failed, and if there was a service charge or fee.
Staff may request the Loan Fund make a presentation to the Board. Other Community
Redevelopment Agencies utilize revolving loan funds and loan guarantees for banks for
businesses. Ms. Bright explained the type of programs offered were contingent on the needs of
the community.
These types of concepts would benefit the downtown area and Ms. Bright was asked if the
programs were restricted to the Heart of Boynton. It was explained staff was addressing the
Heart of Boynton; however, the concepts could benefit downtown businesses.
Mr. Rodriguez explained he emailedMs.Bright about what was being done to redevelop the
downtown area. Ms. Bright did not recall the email.Mr. Rodriguez did not copy the other Board
members on the email. It was agreed the item would be put on a future agenda. Ms. Bright
clarified the Economic Development Plan regarding the Downtown Redevelopment was not
approved until December of 2008. The initiatives were all new. There was money in the budget
and staff could implement a district-wide plan.
Mr. Weiland indicated legally, monies designated for the Heart of Boynton were not voted on.
There was discussion the concept was discussed at a workshop; however, Chair Taylor recalled
it occurred at a special meeting. Discussion at that meeting included a question about what
would happen to the funds set aside for the Auburn Group, and there was agreement to leave
the money in the Heart of Boynton.

Attorney Cherof explained the meeting was noticed as a workshop meeting. There was a
special meeting held in conjunction to it. Mr. Rodriguez advised he was told of the date and he
was unavailable that day.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to keep the funding in the Heart of Boynton. Ms. Ross seconded the
motion that unanimously passed.
Vice Chair Hay discussed Mr. Rodriguez's statement that he sent an email toMs. Bright. He
recalled Mr. Rodriguez previously stating that he does not send correspondence to Ms. Bright
without sending emails to the rest of the Board.
Mr. Rodriguez explained it was untrue. He explained since the incident when an email was sent
to the City Attorney questioning Sunshine Laws he no longer copies the Board and he
corresponds directly with her, but in the past he has done either or both.
Attorney Cherof clarified he sent a memorandum that there is a risk with global emails. "Reply
All" emails to each other can be misinterpreted and responded to, and there would be a pattern
of communication outside of the Sunshine. He confirmed Mr. Rodriguez was correct in his
method to correspond directly with Ms. Bright, and she. when appropriate, can correspond with
other Board members as long as she does not act as a conduit and indicate how one Board
member may vote in the future. Ms. Bright was aware of how to handle that.
Vice Chair Hay explained he was only stating what he heard at the meeting, and nothing was
discussed by the Attomey or anyone else when it came up. He just wanted to share an
observation.
Staff requested direction to begin to implement the program for the community. The allotted
monies may vary in the line items once direction is given.
Mr. Weiland and Chair Taylor were in favor of moving forward with the programs, keeping the
Board's comments in mind about funding interior renovations, the micro-loan fund, trash-pickup,
erecting signs with a phone number on them for residents to call, and the alleyways.
Ms. Ross liked the quality of life issues. Ms. Brooks explained they wanted to install signs and
do a direct mailing to the community. Staff did not have to cap the hotline, but could market
what exists. Chair Taylor indicated he would like to move forward with the nuisance properties.
Ms. Brooks explained the initiatives were what the community desired and based on their
priorities, they allocated funding commensurately. The figures could be fine-tuned.
There was Board consensus to move forward.
B. Discussion of Potential Brownfield Designation for Community
Redevelopment Agency
Ms. Brooks explained this item was brought back to the Board and there had been much
discussion of the designation over the last year. Las Ventanas and Gulfstream Mall had to
spend funds on environmental clean-ups. The Promenade also had environmental cleanup

Questions/Comments
Presentation on SO~;QI Capital - Tykus Holloway, P.E., Kimley-Horn
The Youth Violence Program is available at the Carolyn Sims Center -
However, there Is no program for the middle/high school students.
The change in leadership of the CRA Board it had a directly impact/set
back to community matters.
Commissioner Marlene Ross commented that the Boynton Beach High
School was a beautiful campus but it was ~ full. They are trying to make it
similar to Dreyfus (specializing in the Arts) in West Palm Beach which is
successful. Park Vista School is full and some of the students attending
Park Vista should actually be at Boynton Beach High. Commissioner Ross
stressed to the Committee to communicate with the School Board
Superintendent and Members because she would like to see more
students at Boynton Beach High.
Dr. Martha Meeks Light suggested that the CRA provide preventative
measures by providing education to parents on how to be "good"
parents. This is where the root of the problems for children stem from.
Tykus Holloway was asked by audience what race he was. He responded
that he was mixed.
Everlene Boker suggested that he show a more positive aspect to the
presentation by covering more students that do succeed.
Doris Jackson also suggested that they should get people in their
neighborhoods to be positive role models.
Lisa Bright suggested grant programs for youth and that a group could be
formed to keep the dialogue open and keep the Board aware of the
problems.
Victor Norfus stated there were 2 targets: 1. Hardcore and 2.
Preventative. Does the community want this program in their
neighborhood and the local residents need to be addressed because
that is the target. Reach Idds and their parents.
Tykus Holloway responded that the Community is responsible for their
neighborhood and needs to address the issues. The CRA and/or
government can do everything to help but ultimately it's the community's
responsibility.
Barbara Ready suggested the Graffiti Art Program was a good way to
keep the youth busy.
Lisa Bright responded that the Graffiti Art Program had been brought
before the Board three times. It Is hard for the Commissioners to
understand why financially supporting such a program would benefit the
community.
Myra Jones asked that if the Board does not want to do something for the
kids, can It be taken to the schools as in art programs. The older kids
could have vocational schools. Ms. Jones advised that the CRA had
been working with Ridgewood School and that literacy is very important.
The CRA has assisted in putting books into the school system and help with
literacy. The media centers in the school system are not adectuate.
Seacrest Desion Presentation - Marwan Mufieh. P.E. - Kimlev-Horn
There was a lot of controversy regarding the Seacrest Blvd. design plan-
with the possible closing of 6th & 9th Court.
The CRA advised that the design is governed by the County and the
money for the design was coming from federal stimulus money. The
main focus is to create green areas for beautification and safety. A
median would efiminate using the center lane as a passing lane.
The Committee was concerned about the entrance to Poinciana School.
Marwan advised that 11 th would stay open and it would not affect the
school entrance.
Doris Jackson was also concerned about the crossing to Poinciana and
asked that the landscaping be kept low so that children are visible to
traffic.
Dr. Martha Meeks-Light asked if the community would have input on the
landscaping because she too was concerned that it stay low so that
traffic woufd have clear sight.
Sister Lorraine asked if the City/CRA who would maintain the landscaping
and if the appropriate irrigation would be put in place. Marwan/CRA staff
advised that the landscaping would have proper irrigation. Reclaimed
water would used.
Marwan advised that there would also be new street lighting installed.
Victor Norfus stated that there should be an alternative road to the Sims
Center.
There was controversy amongst the Committee members as to the
blocking off of NW 9th Court.
At previous Community Committee meetings it was requested that 9th
Court be blocked off to make the cemetery safer and to keep the drug
dealers from using that road and having access between EZ Mart and the
abandoned properties along the cemetery. However, Doris Jackson did
not agree to that decision,
Myra Jones asked if the neighborhood would be surveyed on the design,
Doris Jackson stated that the stimulus money should be used how the
community wanted it to be used.
CRA staff advised that per the State, there was a time restraint on
submitting the plans in order to receive the stimulus money. FDOT would
finalize the plans.
The Committee requested that road which is now closed (off of MlK on
the west side of the cemetery) should be reopened.
Ms. Newton wanted to be sure that her neighborhood was not "walled
off" .
Another concern was the street parking on 6th Street. The CRA Police are
aware of this problem.
Marwan and CRA staff said that vehicle counts would be done.
Review of Budget for HOB StfateQifls as Presented to eRA Board and
Review of Imol.mentation Strafeaies
eRA staff advised that the Code Enforcement hotline was denied by the
Board but the money allocated for it would stay as a line item for future
use based on how well Code Enforcement responded to the
Community's complaints.
Improve Interior {Exterior of Businesses - these programs will be rewritten to
reflect what the community wants (i.e., interior build-out money, etc.)
Technical Assistance - this wm most likely have to go to RFP because the
free services are not readily available.
Property Acquisition - it was voted on that they Community Committee
would like the CRA to purchase the Brandom property (abandoned
duplex near EZ Mart): Barbara Rudd property would be acceptable to
purchase if seller will accept appraised value of property and Villamarin
should be appraised before buying.
The CRA staff advised the Committee that the alley/easement
abandonment was accepted by the Board.
CRA District Tour
Victor Norfus stated that he still felt the Delroy tour should still take place
because it was relevant to see what the Delray CRA had accomplished.
Lisa Bright stated that not enough people responded to the Delroy tour
and she felt it was important for the Committee to tour their own CRA
District first so they would have a better understanding of what projects
were the CRA's, what were City projects and what projects were private.

Boynton Beach, Florida
June 9, 2009
Chair Taylor reiterated both the City and CRA staff were doing all they could to correct
the deficiencies and would continue to work with the developers to ensure they lived up
to their promises. He did not believe either the City or CRA had any standing regarding
association fees.
IX. Public Comments: (Note: comments are limited to 3 minutes in duration)
Sister Lorraine Ryan, 145 NE 4th Avenue, the Women's Circle, talked about PATCH
(Planned Approach to Community Health) and the need for a community health center
for the uninsured. JAL Ministries and Dr. Tom Rose would be creating a federally-
qualified community health center in Boynton Beach which would be funded by
Quantum Foundation in the first phase. It was hoped a site for the Center could be
located in the Heart of Boynton, as the hospital was located in the south side of town
and the Caridad Clinic on the far west side. Sister Lorraine thanked CRA staff for its
support.
Doris Jackson, 531 NW 10th Avenue, in referring to the arrests made at the Atlantic
Lodge motel, inquired why arrests were not made regarding the illegal activity at E-Z
Mart.
Sgt. Joseph DeGiulio, CRA Policing Unit, noted more arrests were made at E-Z Mart
than at Atlantic Lodge. At least 50 arrests were made last year for drug users as well
as sellers. During May 2009, a drug reversal operation resulted in seven arrests within
four or five hours. While the police were able to link the Atlantic Lodge owner to all the
illegal activity, they could not do so with E-Z Mart, as the activity occurred outside the
store. If drugs were sold within 1,000 feet of a church, park, school or convenience
store, an additional charge would be added to the arrest warrant. It would then be up
to the State Attorney to move forward.
No one else having come forward, the public audience was closed.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
June 9, 2009
Vivian Brooks, Assistant Director, noted the matrix included with the meeting
materials contained strategies and actions undertaken to date by the City and CRA staff
to implement the recommendations of the Community Committees. Staff had reviewed
the matrix with the attendees at the June 8, 2008 Community Committee meeting. The
Committee's chief priority dealt with improving the quality of life and ridding the City of
nuisance properties. Included with the meeting materials was a contract for a nuisance
property located 112 NW 10th Avenue. Code liens were attached to the property. Staff
believed it would be more efficient to purchase the property rather than to foreclose,
and felt the property would appraise close to the asking price. Title searches had been
secured on some of the other properties, and the items would be brought before the
City Commission in July 2009 along with the Code lien foreclosures.
With regard to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), Ms. Brooks
advised an alley abandonment would be brought before the Board at the next meeting.
Staff was working with Engineering to explore alternatives in addressing the issue of
manholes in alleys.
With regard to economic development activities, staff was looking into free business
training. Issues to be brought before the Board for consideration include the
Brownfield designation and the reissuance of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for Ocean
Breeze East. Staff hoped to continue the Residential Improvement (RIP) program for
next fiscal year.
2. Consideration of Contract with Michael Villamarin for the property
located at 201 NE gth Avenue
Ms. Brooks noted the three properties to be discussed were within Phases I and II of
the MLK redevelopment and met the criteria of a nuisance property, parcels adjacent to
properties already owned by the City or CRA or properties located in Phase I.
Mr. Simon advised the property consisted of a duplex on a lot 55 feet by 150 feet,
which was adjacent to a large City-owned parcel and was within the Phase I boundary
of the MLK project area. The property was being offered to the CRA for $210,000
contingent upon the purchase price meeting the appraised value. Mr. Simon noted the
property owner had purchased the property for $145,000 in 2005. Staff had not
suggested that the purchase price of $210,000 was accurate and prepared a contract to
protect the CRA's interest by asking that an appraisal either meet or exceed the
purchase price. It was believed the property was in good standing with the City.
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6th Avenue, commented the property formerly belonged to
her sister and was not worth the asking price.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
June 9, 2009
Mr. Simon requested direction from the Board. Staff recommended entering into the
contract so that if the appraisal was lower than the purchase price, the CRA would have
a right to exit the contract. The CRA was not obligated to purchase the property at the
appraised value.
Attorney Cherof advised a motion was necessary to approve the agreement. As a
contingency for an appraisal was included in the agreement, a separate motion was not
needed. In this instance, the contract provided that the CRA would obtain the
appraisal.
Motion
Mr. Hay moved to approve. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Mr. Simon informed the Board the appraisal should be available by the next meeting or
within the due diligence period of 60 days.
3. Consideration of Contract with Jerry and Melody Brandom for the
property located at 112 NW 10th Avenue
Ms. Brooks noted Mr. Brandom had approached staff with an offer to sell the property.
Code liens had been placed on the vacant, boarded up multi-family property. Staff felt
the property would appraise close to the purchase price. The contract contained the
same due diligence period as the Villamarin contract, and an appraisal would be
obtained by staff.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to approve. Ms. Ross seconded the motion that passed
unanimously.
4. Consideration of Contract with Barbara Rudd for the property
located at 306 NE 11th Avenue
Ms. Brooks advised the property consisted of two small vacant lots together, amounting
to one buildable lot. The land did not meet the criteria of a nuisance property nor was
it located in Phase I, but it was adjacent to City or CRA land. The property measured
roughly 6,000 square feet and could possibly accommodate a house. It was originally
purchased for $145,000 in 2006. While the asking price was $90,000, staff felt the
property would appraise at approximately $45,000. This opportunity had not received
support from the Community Committee as it was not located within Phase I and was
9
Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, Florida

not a nuisance property. However, the Committee felt if the owner would sell at the
appraised value, it would be a worthy purchase. If not, the purchase could be made at
a later date. The Committee indicated a preference that Ms. Rudd sign the contract,
stipulating she would sell for the appraised value. The Board agreed acquisition efforts
should be focused on properties located in Phase I.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to deny the purchase request. Mr. Weliand seconded the motion
that passed unanimously.
B. Budget Discussion
Susan Harris, Finance Director, noted she had prepared two charts pertaining to
assessed valuations and Tax Increment Financing (llF) revenues. The assessed
valuations had declined another 20% which was anticipated based on the Property
Appraiser's information to the municipalities several weeks ago. TIF revenues would
decline this year 22%-24% to $6.3 million from $8.3 million. The final Tax Increment
Financing (llF) revenues were based on the assessed valuations received from the
Property Appraiser and the millage rates applied to the assessed valuations by both the
City and the County. The numbers provided in the charts were based on the
assumption there would be no millage rate increase by the City or the County.
However, if the City utilized the roll-back rate and the County utilized the rate they had
been considering, the CRA would realize another increase in Tax Increment Financing
(llF) revenues of $1.1 million to $1.2 million. While Ms. Brooks had suggested a
budget workshop for the end of July, she suggested the Board might want to consider
an early-August date, as the City would be considering its budget and millage rates in
mid-July and would be required to furnish next year's proposed millage to the Property
Appraiser in August. At the suggestion of the Board, Ms. Harris would set aside three
dates for the workshop.
1. Consideration of Trolley Service Contract Renewal
Ms. Brooks noted the current contract would expire at the end of September, 2009. If
the Board did not wish to continue the service, notice would be required by June 29,
2009 pursuant to the 90-day termination clause in the existing contract. If not
terminated timely, the contract would automatically renew for two three-year periods.
The trolley vendor had agreed to amend the 9O-day notice requirement to 45 days. At
that time, staff would have further knowledge of the eRA's revenue for the next year
and could provide the Board with viable trolley transportation scenarios. Ms. Bright
added it had been clear the ridership had never developed for the southern route, and
if a decision were to be reached at this meeting, staff could not recommend the service

Community Committee Meeting
Questions/Comments
Alley Abandonment
V. Brooks spoke on the utility issues. She suggested looking at fencing at
either end of the alleys. The money not being used for the alley
abandonment could then be used for an HOB Project Manager. The
Committee was asked if they support the hiring of a project manager
and/or consultant.
B. Miller suggested the position should be hands on.
B. Ready stated that the Committee clearly wants someone from the
neighborhood for the position of HOB Project Manager.
M. Karageorge stated that the economic development position was
needed but the City and CRA didn't continue to fund the position. This
should be a CRA wide focus not just HOB.
Myra Jones asked about the qualifications of the project manager. She
stated that it was not likely to find a candidate in HOB with those
qualifications. She also stated that the position should last longer than 1
year. She suggested that the monies and resources should go to the
neighborhood HOAs. Anyone hired that was not from HOB (she felt)
would "bump heads" with community leaders. She suggested that the
HOAs could utilize the money and resources for programs, food, places to
meet and workshops.
Small Business DeveloDment Proaram RFP /RFQ
Vivian Brooks advised the Committee about the status and research of
the RFP with deliverables.
Myra Jones wanted to know if they could guarantee a job at the end of
the course.
Lisa Bright stated that childcare could be provided to assist.
Vivian Brooks stated that the expectation is on each individual, not
everyone will succeed. Ms. Brooks gave examples of what the program
would offer.
Margaret Newton asked how many people would be served and what
would the program benefit be?
Vivian Brooks stated 15-20 per quarter/l 03 per year, very labor intensive.
Sister Lorraine considers the HOB project manager and Small Business
Development Program as one in the same.
Vivian explained that the Small Business Development Program would be
conducted by an outside firm. Ms. Brooks then explained what an
RFP /RFQ is.
Myra Jones asked if the price for the Small Business Development Program
could be negotiated. She suggested an "on the job training" type of
program for an employee instead of small business development (Le.,
have the CRA pay for employees of businesses).
Myra Jones was voting against the RFP for Small Business Development.
She wants neighborhood to be self sufficient.
Lisa Bright stated that the CRA was not a social mission.
Myra Jones asked if money could be given to HOA's and let the HOA's
run the Small Business Development Program. She asked if HOA's can be
included into our plan (can the CRA give the money to an HOA?)
Mark Karageorge stated that jobs should be first and that there was lots of
open space for new businesses.
Lisa Bright advised the Committee that they were describing more of a
social mission and it did not comply with FL Stat. 163 (which governs the
CRA).
Barbara Ready stated to the Committee that the Small Business
Development Program is a basically a seeding program
Myra Jones stated the Community had needs and does not want
businesses to go outside of HOB.
Barbara Ready specifically asked Ms. Jones "what are your needs"?
Lisa Bright let everyone know that Ms. Bell did not want to improve her
building. Ms. Bright advised the Committee TED Center was not working.
Lisa Bright discussed taking the money allocated to the hotline ($5,000)
and since there were 5 HOAs the CRA could give each HOA $1,000. Lisa
then asked if the CRA gave a $1000 what would be done with it.
Myra Jones stated she wanted to do GED training.
Margaret Newton disagreed. She stated they need to have a consensus
from HOA's on how to use the monies.
Barbara Ready suggested that the money could be used as an incentive
to complete the Small Business Development Program.
Lisa Bright stated that the Small Business Development Program needs to
be run by a third party.
Possible Purchase of Vacant Lot on NE 4th Street
Vivian Brooks gave a description of where the lot was located. She
advised the Committee that the lot could be purchased for $300,000.00
($500,000.00 was owed on the lot).
Lisa Bright explained why the CRA had purchased on 4th & 5th Avenue.
Vivian Brooks asked the Committee if they wanted to purchase the lot.
It was determined to enter into a contract subject to appraisal.
Purchase of Public Art for Heritaae Park
Vivian Brooks advised that the Butterfly Mandela was chosen unanimously
by the Committee on June 13, 2009 (CRA District Trolley Tour).
Status of eRA Owned structures
Vivian Brooks explained to the Committee the condition of 308 NE 10th
Avenue (this property is scheduled for demolition). Ms. Brooks asked if the
Committee wanted to keep the structure.
Lisa Bright then explained the history of the building.
Victor Norfus asked if a non-profit organization would be considered
commercial. Ms. Brooks answered yes. Mr. Norfus inquired about Habitat
for Humanity and if the structure could be replaced with a new home.
Vivian Brooks answered a new home was one possibility or that the land
could be given as a subsidy for a first time homebuyer under the CRA HAP
program.
Vivian Brooks explained the current situation with the parking lot (that the
CRA owns) across the street from Quick Mart. She asked the Committee if
they wanted to keep the parking lot (it was scheduled for demolition).
The Committee agreed that they did not want to help facilitate
continued negative behavior in their neighborhood and especially on
CRA property.
The Committee would support keeping the parking lot if Ms. Bell (the
owner of MLK Quick Mart whose tenants want to use the parking lot)
would 1 - agree to placing signage on the property "Employees Only",
"No Trespassing" and 2 - sign the No Trespassing Agreement with the
Police Dept.
Status of Liahtina Maintenance
With respect to the lights in the area of MLK and Seacrest, some lights
were still out, some were working. Myra Jones has noticed that it is -
especially dark on NW 2nd Street between BB Blvd. and 6th A venue - may
need to new lights.
Status of Nuisance ProDerties
Vivian Brooks went over the locations on the map of the 2 properties
(Luchey & Brandom) that the City Commission approved to move forward
with foreclosure proceedings due to delinquent Code Enforcement Liens.
Ms. Brooks explained that another possibility to acquire the properties
would be to use the power of eminent domain under a Sims Park
expansion plan.
Victor Norfus expressed that he is not in favor of using eminent domain to
acquire properties.
Mr. Norfus' idea for Sims Park main entrance would be to create a new
entrance through the existing community garden thereby straightening 9th
Court.
Mr. Norfus also stated that he has been cutting the community garden's
grass at the NE corner of Seacrest and MLK. He asked who is ultimately
responsible for mowing the grass at the community garden.
Sister Lorraine explained that the City is suppose to mow the lawn. There
was an issue with the water. The water is now back on but the grass is not
being mowed.
Scott Blasie spoke to Christine Roberts (Public Works). Their position on the
maintenance is to wait until budget is over.
Vivian Brooks updated the Committee on the Brandom & Luchey
properties.

were serving more people per hour on the trolley. Saturday was their highest capacity
day. The increase in ridership did not increase their operating costs although they
receive a cost of living increase each October
Ms. Harris noted the trolley contract would expire on September 30, 2009. Should the
Board renew the contract, it was anticipated the cost would increase due to Ms.
Stahlman offering a better price last year to operate two trolleys as opposed to one.
Next year the cost would increase to $70 per hour. The prior reduction in rate per hour
for two trolleys was $65.50. With the elimination of the south route, the cost was $70.
The calculations provided to the Board were based on $70K. There was discussion the
Board should have been informed the rate would change if the south route were
eliminated.
Ms. Bright explained staff was trying to save $30,000. The trolley runs from 6:30 a.m. to
7:15 p.m. and three trolleycars were rotated. It was also noted Ms. Stahlman was well
thought of in the West Palm Beach area for the trolley service she provides there.
After discussion the item would be addressed during the budget and a determination
whether the south route elimination should stay or if there was an opportunity to look at a
skimmed down route would be made. In the interim, staff would review offering a south
route two or three days at a week.
(Mr. Weiland left the dais at 7:25 p.m.)
B. Consideration of Amendments to CRA Programs
1. Homebuyers Assistance Program (HAP)
Chair Taylor reviewed the agenda item and indicated staff was recommending approval
of amendment #6. He inquired if staff was attempting to approve this administratively
and not go before the Board.
Mike Simon, Development Manager, explained the City currently approves the
applications administratively and staff was requesting the Board consider approval in an
effort to streamline the process. Reports would be provided monthly.
Chair Taylor explained the reports would be after the fact and he preferred to continue to
approve the applications as they arose. Ms. Brooks noted the decision to do so was
fine; however, it made it difficult to time the closings.
(Mr. Weiland returned to the dais at 7:27 p.m.)
Over the last 12 months, the Board had to hold two special meetings to review and
approve applications. Mr. Simon reviewed each of the options. Chair Taylor liked any of
the first five options. The remainder of the Board agreed and there was consensus any
of those options were acceptable.
2. Residential Improvement Program (RIP)

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 14, 2009
Chair Taylor expressed he had the same concem with this program as the prior one,
which was to approve the requests administratively. He also questioned why the first
option was to increase the maximum grant award from $20,000 to $25,000.
Mr. Simon explained in many rehabilitation projects, staff had to eliminate items needing
repair in order to keep project costs down. The program was not a matching grant
program. Discussion followed there had been prior dialogue to obtain additional grants
for the southern end of town; however, there was no money and by increasing the
amount of the grants, less of the population would be served.
Mr. Simon explained the City rehabilitation limit was $50,000. Sentiments were also
expressed the homeowner should bear some responsibility for maintaining the home.
The program was standard among Community Redevelopment Agencies because it was
less expensive to improve housing stock than to construct a home. Some of the
southem area was blighted. The program was an income-based program and the
reason most of the residents in the southern part of the City were not served was
because their income levels were too high. Staff directed a mailing be made to the
residents and a door hangar program be implemented. It was pointed out rental
properties were excluded from the program and the matching grant program. Staff was
encouraged to hold an open house to share information for the south end. The
constituents served ranged from low to moderate income individuals. There was
consensus to have the program amount remain at $20,000.
Vice Chair Hay felt there may be some instances where they may need to go higher than
$20,000. Mr. Simon noted they often referred applicants to the City if the resident
needed additional assistance.
The second option provided for replacing non-functioning or damaged windows with
impact-rated single-hung windows when it was deemed doing so was more cost
effective or appropriate than to provide hurricane shutters. There was discussion impact
windows could still shatter; the object just may not go all the way through. If the
windows were non-operational, and ingress and egress from the room was hindered by
the broken window, putting shutters over the window would not make sense.
It was noted some of the homes the Community Redevelopment Agency constructing
used windows instead of shutters. After much discussion, there was consensus staff
would decide whether to use a window or shutter.
After additional discussion, it was ascertained staff routinely requests the contractor
price out the cost of impact windows and hurricane shutters. The Board's decision on the
three options was to limit the amount to $20,000. The Board was in agreement with
Option 2 as presented and not in agreement with Option 3 which was to approve the
items administratively.
3. Commercial Fa~ade Program
Mr. Simon explained staff wanted to change the name from Commercial Fayade
Program to Commercial Improvement Grant in order to include tenant improvements and

build-outs inside the units. In the past, one or two requests to do so had been made but
the requests were deemed ineligible and were denied. Mr. Simon noted this would be
helpful to new businesses and start-up businesses.
Ms. Brooks explained the Promenade and Las Ventanas have about 62,000 square feet
of retail space which has unimproved interior space, no bathrooms, walls or electrical
amenities. Discussion included developers often give incentives to tenants for those
improvements.
In the downtown Master Plan Update, from an economic development standpoint, other
Community Redevelopment Agencies allowed for interior improvements as their goal
was to retain business. Staff wanted to retain and offer another incentive to locate to the
downtown area. Chair Taylor was not in favor of allowing the interior renovations. Mr.
Weiland agreed. Mr. Rodriguez would rather allocate funds to help attract and assist
businesses, as opposed to having hurricane shutters, which was one of the
recommendations of staff to allow for decorative elements.
Discussion followed individuals owning two or three properties within the district could
only apply for one grant. Presently, the Fa<;ade Program allowed a landlord with two
separate properties to apply for one grant per year. The change would allow a property
owner with multiple properties to be limited to two grant awards per year. Staff was also
requesting the program application and grant approval be administrative. Further
discussion ensued the grant should be a one-time grant leaving the property owner to
maintain the fa<;ade. It was noted, however, if a business sold then a new set of
circumstances applied.
There was discussion staff would allow one business owner one grant every five years.
If the property owner had multiple properties, they could only apply for one grant. The
maximum amount of funding an applicant could receive was up to $15,000.
There was consensus one property grant could be obtained every five years. and one
owner with multiple properties could apply for only one grant for that property. Multiple
grants could not be given for multiple properties. The decision was clarified further as a
property owner with two properties could apply for a grant for one property. After five
years the property owner could apply for a grant for the second property, based on
ownership or tenant.
Staff was amenable to recommendations 1 and 2. Recommendation 3 was eliminated.
Recommendation 4 was agreed to as discussed, and Recommendation 5 was denied.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve to change the fayade grant as discussed. Mr.
Rodriguez seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
There was a motion regarding Agenda Item 81 - Homebuyers Assistance Program.

Motion
Ms. Ross moved to approve the changes as discussed. Vice Chair Hay seconded the
motion that unanimously passed.
C. Heart of Boynton Strategies Update
1. Alley Abandonment Status
Ms. Brooks explained the Community Committee requested the alleyways be
abandoned in an effort to reduce dumping. In working with Utilities, it was discovered
many of the alleys had manholes and there would be no benefit to the abandonment
because an access easement would still be needed.
Staff discussed using a fence to close the alleyways with the Utility Department. The
cost allocated for legal fees for the abandonments was about $85,000. Ms. Brooks
indicated some of the funds could be reallocated to another activity, and the program
could be implemented on an incremental basis. The gates would be locked and the
Utility Department would have the key, which would prevent access into the alley and
alleviate the dumping. Moving the manholes was not an option. There were 17
alleyways. The property owners would not own the property and consequently, they
could not plant anything on it. Staff was only preventing the illegal access and the City
would police the alleyways to ensure encroachment did not occur. The only change was
the alleyways would not be abandoned to the property owners. Staff would investigate
the cost of the fencing. The Board was amenable to the concept.
2. Consideration of Issuing RFP for Development of Small Business
Program
Ms. Brooks explained as an outcome of the Community Committee, staff was directed to
look for assistance for small businesses and offer training to help businesses start-up
and operate, or help small-based businesses grow. Staff was directed to look for free
services. After much research, it was ascertained there were free services that
individuals would have to attend either in Lake Worth at Palm Beach Community
College, SCORE in West Palm Beach, or SCORE in Boca Raton. The Chamber of
Commerce holds events at a cost. Some of the events were free to Chamber members,
but they were not comprehensive enough for individuals wanting to start a small
business or write a business plan.
Staff wanted something comprehensive with a deliverable at the end, that would provide
information about taxes, incorporation, different employment laws, lending practices,
11
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 14, 2009
etc., and was unable to find a free source. SCORE had a fee and would charge for
marketing materials.
The Community Committee also felt the individuals attending the course should receive
an award upon receiving a certificate of completion for the course, and thought a laptop
would be appropriate. To offer a year of classes, the cost would be about $25,000.
Discussion followed about piggybacking a contract. It was explained doing so still
incurred a cost. Staff issued an RFP which was reviewed by Legal Staff. They also
consulted the TED Center in Delray Beach as well as other organizations and a ballpark
figure for a course was $25,000 to $30,000. Classes would start every quarter.
Additionally the instruction may not even be able to be limited to the Heart of Boynton
businesses.
After the first year of the program, staff would evaluate the effectiveness of the program
with the Board, what the outcome was, how many individuals completed the class, went
forward and employed individuals, opened a business or began the process of opening a
business.
SCORE could provide limited training. Staff envisioned the instruction as more of a
classroom setting and considered the Carolyn Sims Center, which had a computer room
and next to it, the Youth Violence Prevention room, which could be used on Saturdays.
Childcare would be available. Staff was looking at an income stream for the Youth
Violence Prevention Project to provide the child- care and was trying to be community
oriented in its implementation.
Chair Taylor liked the concept but did not agree with offering a reward for completion of
the course.
(Mr. Weiland left the dais at 8:23 p.rn).
Staff believed the Carolyn Sims Center was the most appropriate location to hold the
classes since the training had to be offered within the Community Redevelopment
Agency district.
(Mr. Weiland returned to the dais at 8:25 p.rn).
The training would be available City-wide.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve moving forward with the training. Ms. Ross seconded
the motion that unanimously passed.
3. Consideration of Hiring a Project Manager for HOB Strategies
Ms. Brooks explained the Community Committee indicated they wanted a dedicated staff
person to work on the strategies they identified. Funding was available for a position for
a two-year duration. At a meeting last night, the Community Committee indicated the
12
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 14, 2009
position should be a social service type of position to assist individuals in finding jobs
and getting them to their jobs; however, by statute, that was not a Community
Redevelopment Agency eligible expense. The position would be more to manage and
implement what the strategy was, working with land acquisition and property owners,
working on the Seacrest Streetscape and community policing items.
There was discussion the monies should be funneled to the Homeowners Associations
to do the work and they would be paid for it. The funding would come from the micro-
loan fund allocation which would not be used. The concept was put together by the
committee.
Some of the Board members noted the job description consisted of duties being
performed by existing staff. It was pointed out the issue was not spearheaded by Mr.
Rodriguez; however, staff was advised the community wanted someone to represent
them. Mr. Rodriguez acknowledged a member of the community had indicated the
community was not represented and there were no minorities represented on staff. Ms.
Bright disagreed and responded based on her interpretation, she brought the request
forward.
Mr. Rodriguez noted the make-up of the Community Redevelopment Agency staff was
very different from the community.
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6th Avenue, expressed her understanding Mr. Rodriguez
was not allocating a position. Ms. Bright explained individuals from the neighborhood
associations and the Community Committee privately approached her about the issue,
and expressed concem specifically related to the fact there was not an African American
represented on staff. Ms. Bright explained they bought it forward.
After further comment, it was decided this was an item that could be reviewed during the
budget.
Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Blvd, indicated he supports economic development;
however, he had a problem funding the position. He advised the Community
Redevelopment Agency has addressed minority hiring
The Community Redevelopment Agency had hired minority candidates in the past.
When the Community Redevelopment Agency runs ads, the resumes are reviewed
based on qualifications in accordance with a Supreme Court ruling. Ms. Bright explained
she had no way to know whether the individual submitting the application was a minority.
Regarding the last vacancy, three were minorities, meaning they were women. None of
the respondents were from the Heart of Boynton. The position was advertised in the
newspaper.
Ms. Bright explained in 2006, when there were racial issues on the Board, the
Community Redevelopment Agency paid $45,000 for an organizational audit which led
to the promulgation of the Rules of Govemance. The document defined Board roles and
staff roles. Staff was still struggling with the practices. Another outcome of the study
was they followed the hiring practices of the City and worked through Sharyn Goebelt,
City Human Resources Director, to obtain a larger minority pool. Staff followed the
13
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 14,2009
same practices as the City, emanating from the Human Resources organizational audit
for the Community Redevelopment Agency. Chair Taylor recalled at least three African
American staff members. One of them, Shawanda Peoples, was from the Heart of
Boynton, who relocated out of the area.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, indicated he was familiar with the request regarding
the issue, and there was no mention of race. The issue at the time was there was no
proper representation or communication with the community as far as the perception of
what was being done. The committee was trying to have a better rapport with the
community and have items more in-line with what the residents in that area wanted.
Another item was the size of the Community Redevelopment Agency area and there
were different needs in the different areas of it. Some areas required more development
and other areas needed a better community relationship than what existed with the
Community Committee. Hiring was an issue when another position became available as
the community was not aware when there were positions available. Boynton's
Community Redevelopment Agency had the largest area in the State. Mr. Norfus was
aware his mother supported a project manager, as it was thought it would bring the
projects, the community and Community Redevelopment Agency closer together. He
announced much of what was presented was not what was discussed, needed or
addressed; rather they were things that needed to be done, but not in the manner staff
wanted to accomplish them. He indicated there needed to be a position that better
correlated to what the community wanted and what staff thinks it was hearing.
Appointing a community committee member as a liaison was suggested; however, Mr.
Norfus felt there was much difference between being a committee member, a Board
member and an employee.
The mission of the Community Redevelopment Agency was to clean up crime, improve
blighted areas and purchase property. When meetings occurred, minutes were taken.
Discussion ensued that when items were discussed at meetings, what was discussed at
the Community Redevelopment Agency was different. Ms. Bright explained Community
Redevelopment Agency staff takes minutes and they are distributed before the meeting.
The timing of the meetings was sometimes an issue. As an example, a Community
Committee meeting occurred last night and the Community Redevelopment Agency
Board met the next night. Accordingly, no minutes were available before the meeting.
Mr. Norfus clarified he did not disagree with what Ms. Bright said; rather he was trying to
convince the Board a liaison was needed.
Ms. Bright explained staff reviewed what needed to be done, reviewed community
development and improvement job titles and others, and the project manager description
had the broadest scope. The individual would have to have a real estate background,
urban planning background and knowledge in other areas.
Mr. Norfus explained he was trying to explain to the Board that a position was needed. It
was not necessarily a project manager that was needed; rather, they needed an
individual within the Community Redevelopment Agency that could better relate to the
Community Committee, the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Board.
Someone from the committee was not a proper person to do that, it was more like a
liaison. A project manager was just a title. Discussion followed there was a disconnect
14

Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 14, 2009
in communication. Further discussion indicated the Committee should appoint a
Chairperson to give updates to the Board.
The motion given at the March 10, 2009 meeting was to gain community input which
was what staff did. A Chairperson could be selected following Roberts Rules of Order.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to table the item. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.
4. Consideration of Purchasing Vacant Lot on NE 4th Street
Ms. Brooks explained this item was discussed in May. A map was included with the
meeting materials which reflected the Community Redevelopment Agency owned
slightly over three acres. The offer of the lot arose because the lot was going into
foreclosure. The Community Development Corporation paid $470,000 in 2007. The
outstanding loan amount was $533,200. The size of the lot was nearly % of an acre. A
bank appraisal indicated the lot was valued at $300,000. The bank was asking for
$330,000. Staff indicated they would obtain an additional appraisal. The cost of an
appraisal would be $1,200.
After further discussion, there was consensus to obtain an appraisal.
5. Consideration of Purchase of Public Art for Heritage Park
The Community Committee participated in a trolley tour of the entire Community
Redevelopment Agency area. One item considered was having public art as a
component of the Seacrest Streetscape design. The committee viewed the Avenue of
the Arts to select which piece would be the best for Heritage Park. The group chose the
Butterfly Mandella at a cost of $3,200. Staff was recommending they purchase the piece
and store it until the streetscape construction commences. It was also noted, the
Butterfly Mandella piece would not be replacing the commemorative plaque that
presently existed.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to purchase the piece. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion.
There had been previous dialogue about $10,000 worth of public art which was voted
down. Ms. Bright clarified the piece would be purchased with stimulus funds. Ms.
Brooks also noted if they wanted the piece, they had to acquire it because the Avenue of
the Arts pieces were replaced each year. The funds were coming from the $1.6 million
for the project until the stimulus monies were received. The consultants recommended
the piece be acquired and ready. The artwork was a large piece and there was
discussion if the price was negotiable. Ms. Brooks explained the price was originally
$3,600.
Barbara Ready, 329 SW 13th Avenue, speaking as the Chair for the Avenue of the Arts
Commission, explained the price was excellent. Public Art typically sells for a lot more
15
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 14, 2009
than what the Board was paying. At the end of the Avenue of the Arts exhibit, many of
the artists prefer to sell the piece as opposed to shipping the piece to another location
before the replacement arrived. She indicated Ms. Brooks had a place to store the art.
If the Board wanted to approve paying for a pad to move the piece, it could be publicly
displayed. The cost for the pads was between $7,000 and $10,000.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.
D. Consideration of lease renewal with Glaston Sims d/b/a Alex Sims Barber
Shop
In June of 2005, there was a purchase agreement that was approved by the Board. At
the time, the property had two owners. There was 4,800 square feet of space. As part
of the acquisition, staff included a leaseback agreement with the barber shop to remain
at a cost of $10 per year. The tenant was afforded the right to sublet the second bay to
a beauty center. The former director had initiated the arrangement, which was part of
the City swap for Sara Sims Cemetery and Park.
Staff was requesting the Board consider selecting one of the five recommendations
offered and wanted to amend the strategic parks plan with the City to officially have a
comprehensive amendment for the Sara Sims Park/Heritage Park. The Community
Redevelopment Agency cannot spend funds without having the acquisition in a
redevelopment plan.
Guam Sims, 3021 S. Seacrest Boulevard, explained his family originally was in
agreement with the idea of relocating the barber shop for the mixed use project in the
MLK area. They intended to continue to operate the business. He conveyed his father
was appreciative of the original lease, which allowed him to operate the barber shop
which was in existence over 30 years and they preferred the original lease terms. Mr.
Sims reported his father took great pride in maintaining the building, and his father did
not want to impede development.
The sublease yielded $600 per month. There was discussion the Community
Redevelopment Agency owned the property. On the Glaston property, they were paying
$3,800 in taxes. They pay $300 per year for solid waste service. If staff rents the
property for over $10 per year, the taxes would be about $3,500 per year.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to continue with the original lease with the $10 per year with the
understanding it would be a month-to-month lease so the City could move forward when
they were ready to expand Sara Sims Park. (Recommendation #3) Mr. Rodriguez
seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
E. Appraisal of property located at 201 NE 9th Avenue - Michael
Villamarin
16
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 14, 2009
Mr. Simon reported on June 19, 2008, the Board approved entering a purchase contract
located at 201 NE 9th in the amount of $210,000. After reviewing the information and
receiving an appraisal, he advised the appraisal came back significantly lower than the
$210,000. Under due diligence, the Community Redevelopment Agency could cancel
the contract or move forward with it.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to terminate the contract. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.
F. Downtown Master Plan Update TABLED June 9,2009
Motion
Ms. Ross moved to remove. Mr. Rodriguez seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Ms. Bright explained after implementing the Heart of Boynton Strategies, there was a
request from Mr. Rodriguez to explain to the Board what ideas were being brought
forward for implementation of the downtown master plan.
Margee Walsh, Marketing Director, reported as part of the downtown economic
marketing program, a video of various businesses were made. The videos were free to
all the businesses located in the Community Redevelopment Agency district. This
information would be provided on the Community Redevelopment Agency's web page.
It would also include digital and contact information, as well as a 60-second clip of the
interior and exterior of the business and a brief interview with the owner who would
discuss their specialty. Four of the videos were viewed; however, twenty videos were
produced so far.
The Board viewed videos of the proprietors for Boynton Beach Boat Rentals,
Hammertime, Hurricane Alley, and Just Wings and a Few Other Things.
Ms. Walsh reported the program was very successful thanks to some editorial coverage
by the Palm Beach Post. Ms. Walsh was also approached by Jorge Pesquera,
President and CEO of the Palm Beach County Convention and Visitors Bureau, who
wanted to visit and look at the program. Ms. Bright also received calls from other
municipalities about the program because it was done on a shoestring budget.
There are 520 businesses in the area. The Economic Development Plan was adopted in
November. An intern was hired who created the database but there were some snafus
during training. Correspondence was sent advising business owners of the program and
when staff did not receive responses, they began cold calling. The Palm Beach Post ran
an article about the program, and since then, business owners were lined up for the
video. Appointments were being set up unofficially, and staff was moving forward as
quickly as they could to video the respondents. Staff hoped to launch the website by the
end of August.

district. While the Committee had been focusing on Heart of Boynton initiatives, an
agenda could be developed for a forum to include the downtown area.
Chair Taylor believed that while the Community Committee had originally been
established for the Heart of Boynton, it had grown and currently encompassed the
entire CRA area. Rather than forming another committee, Mayor Taylor felt the
information should be shared, and feedback provided to the Board. Mr. Rodriguez was
agreeable with allowing the existing committee to continue, provided the scope could
be expanded to include the downtown area, and that this be emphasized at the next
meeting.
Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, remarked it was the intent of the
Community Committee to attract businesses to the downtown area, to enhance the
marina, maintain CRA policing and continue the work on the Downtown Master Plan.
The Committee was no longer focused solely on the MLK corridor and Heart of Boynton,
but rather on the entire CRA area. .
Ms. Ross was in favor of the suggestion that the Board provide input on the agenda
relating to the Downtown Master Plan. Ms. Bright noted staff had worked with the
attorney to ensure the process had been followed properly. The meetings were
noticed, agendas were provided and minutes were taken. Ms. Bright would ensure the
Downtown Master Plan's Five Year Action Plan would be included as an agenda item for
future meetings.
With regard to Item 4 of the Five Year Plan, "Preserving the historic fabric of the
community," Ms. Ross noted while the City did not have a historic preservation
ordinance in place, she recalled the Commission had taken action for an ordinance to
be developed. She wanted to ensure the CRA was aware of this, as she believed the
historic properties in the City would benefit from such an ordinance.
Mr. Rodriguez mentioned it had been discussed at a recent City Commission meeting
that conflicting feedback had been received from the Community Committee. As such,
it had been requested a spokesperson be appointed. Ms. Bright explained this had not
been accomplished as there had been no subsequent Community Committee meeting.
However, the matter would be placed on the agenda.
B. Heart of Boynton Strategies - Consideration of hiring a Project Manager
(TABLED July 14, 2009)
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to remove Item B from the table. Mr. Weiland seconded the
motion that passed unanimously.
6
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 11, 2009
Mr. Weiland noted staff had been doing an excellent job, and he would not favor hiring
a project manager.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to deny. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that passed
unanimously.
C. Consideration of recommending a brownfield designation within the CRA
Staff had budgeted $20,000 in the current budget year for the designation, as there
had been no support at the Commission level. Representatives of the Chamber of
Commerce requested the item be reconsidered for properties within the CRA district
having commercial, industrial or mixed-use land use categories. A map reflecting the
designated brownfield areas and a resolution for the Commission's consideration were
included with the meeting materials. Staff recommended approval to the City
Commission of the resolution and map.
Ms. Ross inquired whether anyone in the audience wished to offer comments.
Nancy Chandler, 914 NE 7th Street, believed people whose property values could be
affected should be notified of the designation. In addition, she was not certain the opt-
out clauses applied to commercial land uses and suggested a legal opinion be obtained.
Ms. Brooks noted that State Statutes required notice of a brownfield designation be
provided to property owners. Any property owner, whether residential or commercial,
could opt out if they chose to do so. Property owners could choose to opt in and would
be required to appear before the Board in such instance.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve the brownfield recommendation. Ms. Ross seconded
the motion.
Mr. Rodriguez noted he would vote against the motion as he wished to leave the matter
to the City Commission for its decision.
The motion passed 4-1 (Mr. Rodriguez dissenting).
D. Review of Contract Options for 12 NW 10th Avenue - Brandom
7
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 11, 2009
Ms. Brooks advised the contract had previously been approved by the Board. The
appraisal of the property set the value for the land at $90,000, and the structure had no
value as a result of its deteriorated condition. The asking price was $170,000. Mr.
Brandom was provided with a copy of the appraisal and countered with an offer of
$110,000, with closing costs to be paid by the CRA. Ms. Bright believed the closing
costs would not exceed $5,000. The property was subject to City Code Enforcement
liens. The liens could be removed by the City as the property would be given to the
City to expand Sara Sims Memorial Park. As the CRA is currently under contract with
Mr. Brandom, it would be necessary to cancel the contract and then respond to his
counter offer. Ms. Brooks indicated the property was a "crime nest."
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to cancel the contract for $170,000. Mr. Rodriguez seconded the
motion that passed unanimously.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to move forward with the $110,000 proposal. Chair Taylor
passed the gavel and seconded the motion.
Mr. Rodriguez commented the Board had taken a strong stance on not overpaying for
properties and would be setting a precedent by accepting Mr. Brandom's counter offer.
He felt the land would only decrease in value and believed the owner would accept the
appraised price of $90,000. As such, he would not vote for any amount over the
appraised value.
Mr. Weiland would offer the sum of $90,000 and closing costs. Ms. Ross felt an offer of
$90,000 was reasonable. Vice Chair Hay felt the property was a nuisance as well as a
safety hazard. As such, he hoped the Board would take action to rid the City of the
property and help the community at the same time.
Substitute Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved that the Board offer Mr. Brandom the appraised value of $90,000
plus closing costs. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion.
Chair Taylor was in favor of accepting Mr. Brandom's proposal of $110,000. The
purchase of the property would allow the CRA the opportunity to clean up MLK
Boulevard. He did not believe the Board members would sell their homes at a value set
by an appraisal.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 11, 2009
Keturah Joseph, Boynton Beach CDC, felt the Board should take advantage of the
opportunity to take possession of the property and rid the community of the illicit
activities occurring in the Heart of Boynton.
Sgt. Joseph DeGiulio, Boynton Beach Police Department CRA Policing Unit, indicated
the area in question was riddled with crime, facilitated drug activity and impeded the
ability of the police to identify "sellers" and "users." The buildings had not been
maintained, represented safety issues and were occupied by vagrants and squatters.
Ms. Ross and Mr. Weiland felt the Board should negotiate further with Mr. Brandom.
Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, noted foreclosure measures were
implemented to motivate the property owner to sell so that the neighborhood could be
cleaned up. Crime and quality-of-Iife issues were the chief priority of the citizens
committee.
Chair Taylor could not believe the Board would pass up the opportunity to clean up a
crime-infested area in order to save $20,000.
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, agreed a message should be sent to the Heart of
Boynton and the area should be cleaned up.
The substitute motion to offer $90,000 plus closing costs passed 3-2 (Chair Taylor and
Vice Chair Hay dissenting.)
E. Women's Circle
1. Consideration of funding Women's Circle $100,000 for purchase of
facility
2. Consideration of entering into a mortgage and note with the
Women's Circle in the amount of $100,000
Item E was addressed directly before Item A. under New Business.
Sister Lorraine Ryan explained the Women's Circle was requesting funding in the
amount of $100,000 for the purchase of the building. She provided an informational
packet that included the Women's Circle's mission statement, a photograph of the
property and an explanation of the property's intended use. It would be the
responsibility of the Women's Circle to bring the property up to Code. Applications
would be made for a parking variance and permits for the necessary modifications.
While the Women's Circle preferred the funding be made in the form of a grant, Sister
Lorraine understood it was the desire of the CRA that funding be provided in the form

XV. Comments by Executive Director
It had been noted at the August 10, 2009 workshop that the automobile allowance
amounted to $450 for the City Manager and Assistant City Manager. Ms. Harris verified
that the automobile allowance for the CRA Director and Assistant Director were
equivalent to that of the City Manager and Assistant City Manager.
Ms. Bright referred to comments made by members of the CRA Community Committee
regarding CRA staff. As a result, Senator Christopher Smith had requested a meeting
with Chair Taylor and Ms. Bright regarding Heart of Boynton issues. Chair Taylor and
Ms. Bright met with Senator Smith and responded to all of his questions. A review was
made of the CRA's redevelopment efforts and history of the economic development
program. Thereafter, pursuant to Senator Smith's request, Ms. Bright attended the
Economic Development Stimulus Workshop and responded to all queries. It was the
intent of CRA staff to ensure every citizen had the opportunity to receive the free
monies offered by the CRA.

Ms. Ross moved to approve (purchase of) a table for 10 for $950. Vice Chair Hay seconded the
motion that unanimously passed.
J. Approval to Support the Business Development Board 2009 Gala
Mr. Rodriguez did not believe spending $2,300 on a Gala for the Business Development Board
was warranted when the Community Redevelopment Agency already supported them through
membership fees, and tax dollars. He thought it sent a wrong message.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to decline. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion.
Ms. Ross thought the event was important as it recognized economic development
accomplishments. Awards would be given and the event had value. Mr. Weiland suggested
sending a letter to the Board indicating they cannot attend.

Susan Harris, Finance Director, explained last month, the Chair requested this item be put on
the agenda for discussion in anticipation of the final budget adoption to be held on September
5
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, FL
September 8, 2009
29, 2009. The final millage rate for the City would not be known until September 22, and the
County's millage rate would not be known until September 21, 2009. How much monies would
be received was still unknown. A budget projection worksheet was included and updated.
The police budget was reduced by $50,000 next year and was further clarified it would be
reduced $50,000 each year for the next three years.
The Special Events budget was increased by $5,000 as the Board discussed adding a possible
event in the southern portion of the district.
The Old High School placeholder was added for $500,000 as motioned by the Board, with a
match from the City.
Funds for the marina's construction were added because they were entering the first phase of
the construction. If the Board opted, they could continue construction of the marina next year by
allocating funds, if available.
Project and program options were included for the Board's review and were discussed on
August 10, 2009.
The information provided three scenarios regarding the millage rate, which Chair Taylor
reviewed. If the $500,000 placeholder for the Old High School were removed, the figures would
change. The motion for the placeholder for the Old High School was based on the City
matching the amount, which it had not done. Chair Taylor explained the City Commission would
make a decision regarding ptacing the financing of the Old High School on the March
referendum so the taxpayers could decide how to proceed. It was suggested putting the Police
Station on the referendum as well. If the Old High School marker were removed and the millage
rate stayed the same, the budget would, essentially, be balanced.
Mr. Rodriguez discussed the $1.8 million dollars that was allocated for the Police Station. If that
amount were eliminated, the budget would be flat. Mr. Rodriguez also inquired where the
videotaping was included in the budget. Ms. Harris explained it was in the project fund,
professional services. Mr. Rodriguez requested additional clarification of the item prior to the
next meeting.
Staff was seeking direction on some of the budget items. Ms. Bright had the verbatim minutes
of the prior discussion and requested direction ahead of time in order to allow staff to distribute
the information to the Board and be prepared to answer any last minute questions the Board
had. Mr. Rodriguez .differed and ~xpressed it was a matter of making motions and funding, and
he indicated he intended to present ideas on how to be more efficient at the final budget
meeting.
Ms. Bright explained that was what they were trying to avoid. She had planned for the Board to
spend the bulk of the meeting on what staff had prepared. If a new budget was going to be
presented based on.a Board member, it would take much more time. Mr. Rodriguez reiterated it
would just be a matter of voting on motions that would not be any longer than 30 minutes. After
discussion, it was decided to move the final budget hearing up to September 24th.

Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, FL
September 8, 2009
Vote
There was a vote on the motion that unanimously passed.
2. Consideration of Entering into Contract with Shoreline Foundation, Inc.
Mr. Weiland left the dais at 8: 19 p. m
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to approve. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that passed 3-1. (Mr.
Weiland not present for the vote.)
D. Consideration of Purchasing Vacant lots located on NE 4th Avenue from COC in
the Amount of $300,000,
Ms. Brooks explained this item was previously before the Board. A PowerPoint presentation
was given showing where the property was located. A value analysis was conducted in May
showing the property value at $299,000. An appraisal done on behalf of the lender In June
reflected an appraised value of $300,000. The Community Redevelopment Agency obtained
their own appraisal, which also reflected the value at $300,000. With the additional property,
the parcel size the COC had was nearly an acre. The balance with their lender was $533,000.
The lender, local Initiatives Support Corporation indicated they would sell at the current
appraised value.
Mr. Weiland returned to the dais at 8:21 p.rn.
With the acquisition, the Community Redevelopment Agency would own 75% of the block, or
5.35 acres, thereby providing a greater redevelopment potential in that area. REG provided a
redevelopment concept for a single-family cottage type development. It was noted this item
would be funded from the $1.6 million earmarked from the Heart of Boynton area.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to approve. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
XII. New Business:
A Consideration of Entering into a Purchase Agreement for a Vacant Lot Located

10
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, FL
Ms. Brooks explained the item was at the request of Quintus Greene, Development Director.
The City was assembling properties and Ms. Jones agreed to sell the property for the appraised
value. The City was land banking but had no funds for land acquisition.
September 8, 2009
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to approve. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
C. Consideration of Entering into a Purchase Agreement with Johnny & Betty
Roberts for Property and Business Assets Located at 1002 MLK Blvd. in the
Amount of $345,000.
Ms. Brooks explained a concern of the Community Committee was the ability to attract new
businesses and residents to the area. Individuals tended to loiter where they can purchase food
stuffs. The subject property was on the SE corner of MLK and Seacrest Boulevard and was a
small family-owned business. The City and Community Redevelopment Agency owned land
there and were redoing Seacrest. A land appraisal reflected the land value at $250,000. A
value analysis of the business reflected the value of the business at $95,000. The owners
agreed to sell for the total of $345,000. Purchasing the property would set a comparable for
future purchases at a realistic price. .
Ms. Bright explained if the Board moved forward with the item, they could make a determination
about what to do with the Jesus House of Worship building. The purchase was attractive
because they could demolish both of the structures. Closing could occur within 30 to '45 days.
Vice Chair Hay suggested improving the building exteriors at very little cost, and then
demolishing them.
Ms. Bright explained normally, if the building was sound, staff usually allowed them to remain.
The reason why the demolition was suggested in this instance was because it was less of an
insurance cost, pubJic safety hazard or other factors of that nature. If the structure could be
retrofitted, they did so.
Mr. Rodriguez expressed concern about the message being sent. If property was in disarray
and there was illegal activity occurring there, it sent a message the Community Redevelopment
Agency would pay top dollar to acquire it.
Ms. Brooks explained the property owners were originally seeking $650,000 because that was
what Auburn Development offered them. Ms. Bright explained the Board did not support the
acquisition of the Brandom property. The Community Redevelopment Agency police sergeant
indicated that particular property had a great deal of crime occurring on site. Staff offered the
appraised value of the property to the owner and the owner refused it.
The Board was now recommending acquisition at appraised value and staff was receiving
mixed messages. Ms. Bright put it on record they had properties they brought forward a few
months ago that were appraised at $50,000 and other individuals were purchasing them at
$70,000.
Vice Chair Hay explained there may be some instances when paying higher than appraised
value would be warranted. He suggested considering each instance individually.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, FL
September8,2009
Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, explained when the Community Committee met, they
identified quality of life issues as paramount. They reviewed three crime nodes in District 2. The
subject property was identified as one of the three nodes. To obtain the property at appraised
value was worth it. There were 523 calls for service since 2004 and 134 individuals arrested on
the property. When the property was identified as a crime node, they hoped to obtain the
property at appraised value, and they should do so. It would rid the area of a hangout and
enhance the area. He recommended purchasing the property.
Sergeant DiGiulio, Community Redevelopment Agency Policing Unit, explained once property
was demolished, crime is displaced. In the last five years, there were 1.692 calls generating
reports. The police would have control over who enters the premises. Ms. Brooks was
proposing to tear down the structure and grass it.
Ms. Bright inquired if there was a crime issue after they put up signs at Platinum Gold.
Sergeant Diguilio responded it alleviated the issue.
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6th Avenue, requested the Board purchase the property.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve purchasing the property for $345,000. Mr. Weiland seconded
the motion that unanimously passed:

Florida Fishina Academv
The second presentation was by Richard Brochu of the Florida Fishing Academy,
The FF Academy was set to start a program at the Boat Club Park, but the City
pulled out of the agreement. The FF Academy is looking to expand its services
to the community; specifically for younger kids ages 6-11. The Academy targets
the age group of 12-21 however, he emphasized that younger children benefit
the most from the program.
Mr. Brochu is from Boynton Beach and the organization is a 50 13(c) non-profit. It
is a complete catch and release program. What most people don't realize is
that the techniques learned in the program can actually become a career. The
fishing industry is big business in Florida.
. The FFA has a 38 ft. (14 ft. wide) boat for the program
. Private charter money of the boat is used for the program
. 8 week program
. $50K - approx. 900 children go through the program in one year
Seacrest Streetscape
The $1 .9 million improvement project is out to bid and construction should begin
March 2010.
At the intersection of Seacrest and MLK there will be art displayed based on all
four corners complimenting the Butterfly Mandela sculpture which was selected
by the Committee members and purchased with Federal Stimulus monies.
Committee members wanted to know where they could view the plans. Staff
advised the plans are available for viewing on the CRA's FTP site.
The ingress to Sara Sims Park will be constructed on 9th and Seacrest aligning
with the street. As the Master Plan for the expansion of Sara Sims Park occurs
part of the park could be used as a butterfly oasis and additional public art.
REG Renderings for Commercial Facade ImDrovements
CRA staff sent individual letters to all businesses within the HOB area that held an
occupational license with the City. The goal was to have business owners take
advantage of professional architectural renderings with the business owner and
Rick Gonzalez.
There were only 2 respondents - Larry Finkelstein & St. @l:1Il~~\s~h.ef'1.. The
rendering of St.~Uft1~sis including in the packet provided to the committee
members along with all the other concepts.
Recommendation for Small Business Program - TED Center
There were a total of 7 responses to the RFP for the Small Business Program.
The recommendation was for the program to be operated by the TED Center.
The Board would decide at the CRA Board Meeting 10/13/09.
The program will be offered quarterly at the Sims Center and the CRA was
looking to the community to encourage neighborhood residents to sign up.
Draft Parking Lot Lease Agreement-Octavia Bell
The CRA is working through the CRA's legal counsel to create a "No
Trespassing/Hold Harmless Agreement" with Octavia Bell (owner of the strip
plaza on MLK) to allow the business owners to use the CRA's parking lot across
the street. Staff needs to get Ms. Bell to sign the agreement before bringing it
to the CRA Board.
With respect to alley abandonment, the City is moving forward. NE 10th & 11 th
(runs east/west) has already begun.
Land ACQuisitions
Vacant Lot - NE 11th (backs up to NE 10th) - use for future parking lot or possible
community garden.
Bettv's Place - This property is under contract and could possibly be used as a
Police Substation or the committee would like another business to be considered
for the building. Once Betty's Place is closed, the building will be painted
(along with Jesus House of Worship and Sims Barbershop) so that all three
buildings are unified with a color design scheme.
Vacant lat - NW lOth (North side} - There are 7 vacant fots that the City owns
and it is the City's project to complete NOT the CRA's.
Hollis ProDertv - This property is located on the South corner of Seacrest and 6th it
will be brought before the Board to purchase.
CDC Vacant Lots (NE 4th & 5th) -The purchase price for the lots is $300K. REG has
a rendering for a "cottage district" for single family housing.
The discussion of the beautification of MLK was brought up. Staff advised the
design for MLK was already completed at a cost of $150K but the County did
not provide the additional $4.0 million of federal stimulus the CRA requested for
this P?rti?n.of th~proj~st. .T~.~S.RA ~o8~ ? r.<. '~r

Lois Smith stated the community was concerned and wanted to know what the
CRA had done on MLK since Januarv of 2009. othing has been done on MLK
excluding demolition or land purchases. The community could not see what the
CRA has done.

Ms. Coleman advised Ms.
Upon the CRA Board's vote to stop negotiations with Auburn Development on
March 10, 2009, CRA Staff spent two months working with the committee to
develop a plan to continue to implement the HOB Plan. On May 12,2009, the
CRA Board approved the $1.6 million HOB Implementation Strategies which is
underway.
Most of the MLK properties are PRIVATELY OWNED and unless the owners want to
sell there is nothing the CRA staff or Board can do to make them sell. The CRA
cannot force private owners to sell their property. Both Intown and Auburn led
the Community to believe that a huge amount of commercial could be
supported, but is not supported in the HOB Plan nor the Treasure Coast Study of
the HOB area.
Dr. Martha Meeks Light advised there are many vacant lots which make the
neighborhood look barren. The lots should be landscaped. Staff advised it is
the lack of sprinkler systems makes it difficult. Landscaping would not survive
without irrigation and not all of the vacant lots in HOB are owned by the CRA.
Again, the CRA cannot force private owners to do anything with their vacant
lots including landscaping.
.. from the
when
. · . offered
Right now the only successful group that can build and sell single family homes is
Habitat for Humanity. SHIP funds are not available so people cannot afford the
$35-$50K needed to purchase a home.
Lois Smith asked what the remaining $1 million of the $1 .6 million approved in
May would be used for? Staff replied to acquire land on MLK north side for
some type of commercial businesses. Lois Smith stated the community wants
businesses to be built. Staff advised that the CRA is not in the building business.
The CRA uses the money to purchase the land to give to a commercial
developer who will build the businesses. The CRA does NOT build they use land

Margaret Newton stated that she would like a meeting/workshop on just

be interested in a workshop on housing.
Dr. Martha Meeks Light stated again that she is concerned about all the vacant

Margaret Newton asked if a letter could be written regarding the Cherry Hi/llots

Evangeline Mack-Sullivan, 909 N. Sea crest Boulevard, of Ruby's Beauty Center,
noted she had been struggling to sustain her business as well. She did not understand
why, with the new lease, she would be responsible for renovations. While the rent had
always been remitted, renovations had never been made.
Mr. Simon explained Ms. Mack-Sullivan would be responsible for any plumbing and
interior renovations, excluding the electricity and HVAC system. All exterior fixtures
would be the responsibility of the agency. Chair Taylor reiterated Ms. Mack-Sullivan's
rent had just been reduced by approximately $150 per month.
Mrs. Mack-Sullivan's husband noted his wife had been paying the Sims family
approximately $600 per month for the past four or five years. The broken window,
carpeting and air-conditioning unit should have been repaired prior to her signing the
new lease agreement. He believed the CRA owned the property and was responsible
for maintenance. Mr. Simon pointed out that, pursuant to the agreement, the Sims
family was responsible for the maintenance of the property. Ms. Mack-Sullivan's
husband advised his wife had previous discussions with Mr. Sims regarding the broken
window and the carpeting. It was noted by the Board and Attorney Cherof that any
disputes regarding maintenance issues should be resolved by the tenant and subtenant.
The motion passed unanimously <
C. Recommendation on RFP for Small Business Development Program
1. Recommendation of Professional Services Consultant - TED Center
Vivian Brooks, Assistant Director, noted the HOB (Heart of Boynton) strategies had
been developed in meetings with the Community Committee out of the funding
originally set aside for the Auburn redevelopment. One of the recommendations of the
Committee was to provide small business training within the community. Pursuant to
the Board's directive, an RFP (Request for Proposals) had been issued and seven
responses were received. The review team consisted of Ms. Brooks, Mike Simon and
Susan Harris. Ms. Brooks had worked with similar programs in West Palm Beach, Mike
Simon had dealt with the issue in Delray Beach, and Susan Harris had been awarded
an MBA from New York University. Each had individually ranked the seven firms based
upon the criteria set forth in the RFP. Based upon the combined rankings, the three top
respondents were the Center for Technology, Enterprise and Development (TED
Center), International Enterprise Development, Inc. and the Mentoring Center. As the
TED Center had received the highest number of points and its fee was in line with the
budget, staff recommended the TED Center be selected. Ms. Brooks advised Dr. Lynn
Allison, of International Enterprises Development, was present.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
October 13,2009
Lynn Allison, 6260 N. Ocean Boulevard, Ocean Ridge, noted she currently served as
President of International Enterprises Development and had previously served on the
Ocean Ridge Town Commission. She requested the Board review the scoring based
upon several issues. Her company had provided small business training and technical
assistance and had established loan programs for the last 12 years. Upon reviewing the
scoring, she observed that under "past experience," her firm had received 16 points,
and it was her belief that no other firm in Florida had been more accomplished in the
field. Her firm had contracted with the City of Pompano Beach for the last four years.
If the Board members were to conduct a review, she requested they contact Pompano's
Mayor, Lamar Fisher, as to her firm's performance. Dr. Allison's firm had established a
loan program that provided $340,000 in loans this year, technical assistance and
workshops pertaining to small business development. She felt the program would work
well in Boynton Beach. Her firm also operated the State programs for three Governors
over the last 12 years. She noted her request for a review was not intended in any way
to demean staff's efforts or the TED Center. However, as a result of the close scoring
results, she felt it was incumbent upon her to request a review.
Ms. Brooks clarified the Board could select any of the seven respondents. As noted
from the scoring, there were only a few points separating the top three. RFPs were
reviewed individually by the rankers and their scores were combined and averaged out.
There was a two-point difference between the TED Center and International Enterprises
in the final score as well as in "past experience."
With regard to Ms. Harris' position on the ranking committee, Mr. Rodriguez requested
clarification as to the manner in which a Chief Financial Officer's background would be
beneficial. Ms. Harris responded in her experience in private industry, she had served
on selection committees and evaluated hundreds of proposals in the areas of mergers,
acquisitions, development and grants. She had worked with the YMCA as well.
Jennifer Brin Kovach, 401 W. Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, noted she currently
served as Director of the Florida Women's Business Center, a program within the TED
Center, working in the area of small business entrepreneur development. The Florida
Women's Business Center offered counseling services and training to 2,000 small
business owners annually. Several workshops were offered weekly in Palm Beach and
Broward Counties as well as Fort Myers. Counseling and training services would be
implemented by Annette Gray, Business Development Manager. Ms. Kovach noted the
TED Center had been engaged in a contractual relationship with the Delray Beach CRA
providing business incubation, technical assistance, loan applications and Small
Business Association resource services. The TED Center served 18 counties within the
State and Palm Beach County for more than 17 years.

Chair Taylor felt while at least three of the applicants appeared to be qualified to
provide the services requested, he did not wish to "second-guess" the review team
selected by the Board and would accept the team's recommendation. In reviewing the
ranking sheet, Vice Chair Hay commented International Enterprise Development had
received a lower ranking in other areas as well as in "past experience." While he
agreed with Chair Taylor that the sheet reflected three good candidates, Vice Chair Hay
expressed confidence in the team's evaluation and had no objection to the outcome.
Mr. Rodriguez questioned whether staff could have piggybacked on the Delray contract.
Ms. Brooks responded piggybacking would have been an option. However, staff felt an
individual contract would allow for a one-year trial period within which the interest of
the business community could be determined.
Lisa Bright, Executive Director, had been approached by members of the Heart of
Boynton (HOB) community who had anticipated applying if staff were to utilize the RFP
process. While the HOB community members may not have applied, staff believed the
open, district-wide RFP process was more equitable.
Ms. Ross inquired whether the "proposed fees" had been accurate. Ms. Brooks
responded affirmatively, adding most of the respondents whose figures were not
acceptable had never contacted staff regarding the budgeted range, which was
standard procedure in responding to an RFP.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve the TED Center to provide professional services in
order to implement the Small Business Development Program. Mr. Weiland seconded
the motion that passed unanimously.
2. Consideration of Entering into Contract with TED Center
Chair Taylor noted a motion was necessary to enter into the contract with TED Center.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay so moved. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
D. Consideration of purchasing Brandom Property at 112 NW 10th Avenue in
the amount of $110,000
Ms. Brooks noted this item had previously been discussed. While Mr. Brandom had
originally asked $170,000 for the property, an appraisal set the value of the structure at
9
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
October 13, 2009
$90,000. Mr. Brandom offered to reduce the purchase price to $110,000, with the CRA
paying all closing costs. The Board had rejected Mr. Brandom's counter-offer and
cancelled the contract. It was requested this item be placed on the agenda for
reconsideration.
The boarded subject property was located west of Seacrest on MLK Boulevard and
adjacent to Sara Sims Park. If approved, the property would be purchased and deeded
over to the City for the expansion of Sara Sims Memorial Park. The City had not
approached the eRA with respect to the purchase, as there had been no funds in the
Development Department for acquisitions. The purchase would be made with a portion
of the Heart of Boynton (HOB) strategies money, and the property would be
demolished by the CRA.
Mr. Weiland had no objection to purchasing the property. However, the CRA had
recently purchased several properties, and it was his belief the CRA paid $400 or $500
over the appraisal amount on one of the properties. Mr. Weiland expressed concern in
setting a precedent by purchasing a property for more than its appraised value. Chair
Taylor believed each prospect should be considered individually and in this case, it
appeared the CRA had an opportunity to clean up the area. Vice Chair Hay agreed the
purchase would provide an opportunity to rid the area of crime.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved that the Board accept Mr. Brandom's counter-offer of $110,000
plus closing costs. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
XII. New Business:
A. Consideration of waiver and funding up to $20,000 from Residential
Improvement Program Grant to Estella Jones
Ms. Brooks advised Ms. Jones had submitted a grant application to the CRA. Prior
thereto, she had approached the City with regard to its rehabilitation program, but had
not received a response in more than a year. The information provided on her
application indicated she met the gUidelines of the program with one exception. The
above-ground sewer located on her property had been leaking raw sewage, constituting
a hazardous condition. The replacement of the sewer line was Ms. Jones' responsibility
and as such, the item was brought before the Board for a waiver. Attorney Cherof
added residents were responsible for the lateral line which ran from the structure to the
street connection. Rather than granting a waiver, Attorney Cherof suggested amending
the ReSidential Improvement Grant Program by adding an element to the eligible
improvement items to cover exterior plumbing and sanitary sewer repair or

replacement. He believed it was likely this type of repair would be required in other
situations as well.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve modifying the eligible improvement items to include
exterior plumbing or sanitary sewer repair or replacement. Ms. Ross seconded the
motion.
Mr. Rodriguez suggested plumbing be excluded from the eligible items, as plumbing
could include an exterior water hose, sink or spigot. Ms. Brooks suggested limiting the
element to potable water lateral sanitary sewer lines that run from the City onto the
property, with the exclusion of the interior property.
Vice Chair Hay and Ms. Ross agreed to the verbiage set forth above. The motion
passed unanimously.
Attorney Cherof noted he would make the change to the program documents.
Chair Taylor noted a motion was necessary to approve the waiver and funding up to
$20,000 from the Residential Improvement Program Grant to Estella Jones.
Motion
Ms. Ross so moved. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that passed unanimously.

November 10, 2009
b. Adoption of Resolution Deeding Certain Portions of 222 N. Federal to the
City for Public Right-of-Way
Ms. Brooks explained in October 2002, when the Community Redevelopment Agency
purchased the property, it was much larger. The design of the Boynton Beach Boulevard
Extension took a portion of the property (the Relax Inn site). Through an interlocal agreement,
staff was to draft a deed giving that portion to the City for the public right-of-way; however, it
never occurred. Had it been drafted, it would have had a lower assessed value. This item was
to correct the oversight from the prior director.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve the resolution and approve the execution of the Quit Claim
Deed transferring the property identified in Quit Claim Deed from the Community
Redevelopment Agency to the City. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion that unanimously
passed.
Ms. Brooks explained under the Direct Incentive from the TIF funds, the Agency was required to
file a Value Adjustment Board hearing request, which was done. The oversight was discovered
while staff was researching the issue. A new survey was obtained and they received a
reduction of 26% of the assessed valuation of the property for 2009, or about a $5,700 refund
on the taxes for 2009.
I. New Business:
a. Consideration of Issuing an RFP for Eight Single-Family Lots in HOB
Ms. Brooks explained when the item was discussed with the community regarding what they
wanted to have, and plans were floated to the community regarding the Martin Luther King
corridor. Over the years, the Community Redevelopment Agency acquired land both on the
corridor and on 9th and 11th in preparation for the massive redevelopment. The Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council had studied how much retail the corridor could hold. It did not
exceed 40,000 square feet. The Heart of Boynton Plan had two small sections zoned C-2
Commercial at Seacrest and MLK and Federal Highway and MLK. They had eight lots that
were not commercial, nor were they recommended to be commercial in the plan. If the Board
desired, the lots could be developed as new single-family infill housing. Staff brought the item
forward for the Board's consideration.
The members discussed ownership of some of the nearby lots. When developing the area,
there had been discussion that three to five acres was needed for a phase I development. Vice
Chair Hay understood staff was land banking until such time as they could develop the strip
from Seacrest and MLK to a portion of 9th on the east side of St. John Missionary Baptist
Church. With the land the Community Redevelopment Agency owned, plus the Roberts
property, the little church's property, the five lots, plus what the City owned, there would be a
large parcel. It was thought there would be development, but not single-family housing. Vice
Chair Hay thought the concept of land banking should be continued until the market turned
around. He did not think it was prudent to give it up now. Larry Finkelstein had stopped the
development. The Board had declined to purchase two of the "King" properties in May at
$50,000 each. Mr. Finkelstein subsequently purchased the lots. Through the Community
5
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
November 10, 2009
Committee, the Community Redevelopment Agency staff was attempting to purchase the
Vilamarin property; however, the Committee did not want staff to purchase the property,
Ms. Bright explained one of the challenges was the community's frustration in that they did not
get the commercial development and they needed the depth of those lots to accommodate
some serious type of development Additionally, since Mr, Finkelstein paid $70,000 for the lots,
and they did not have the depth for the development needed, members of the community
expressed frustration nothing was happening. Additionally, the Community Redevelopment
Agency would now have to pay a minimum of $70,000 plus a profit for those two lots. Staff's
appraisal came in at $50,000 and the Board was not interested in purchasing those lots for
what was being asked, When staff doesn't purchase the land, it creates issues and in the
future, the Board would have to deal with Mr. Finkelstein,
Ms. Brooks noted they were obtaining a survey for the north side of MLK to 1 st and there was
an interested party looking to put retail there, The party was interested in about 20,000 square
feet of retail space. The Roberts and the Church properties could have small retail space that
could be used for incubator space. Staff could transition small operators from the Small
Business Development Program they are starting in January. The full amount of parking spaces
would not be required because MLK has a 50% parking reduction allowance. Part of the retail
would be a grocery store, which would assist staff in obtaining tax credits, and bolster the
Ocean Breeze East and West projects. It was noted that area was the only area to develop
commercial property in the Heart of Boynton,
Discussion followed whether the Board should wait to develop the area or take more immediate
action. It was noted one property owner, Ms. Bell, wanted $1 million firm for her property. Mr.
Barry was also not interested in selling. There was discussion at what point they should move
forward. Land banking meant waiting to acquire land and holding it. Staff needed policy
direction.
Willie Aiken, 726 NE 1st Street, Boynton Beach, spoke about the north comer of Seacrest and
MLK Boulevard. At 11th, there were two parcels that needed to be purchased in order to locate
the retail there. He inquired what happened to the concept. Ms. Brooks explained they could
not get the owner to sell. Staff approached the developer with what they had to work with and
was advised they were obtaining a survey. It was possible the developer could still develop
there because the City abandoned the alley, which provided an additional 7.5 feet
There was discussion about land swapping in the area. The Community Redevelopment
Agency owns five lots on 9th Avenue. Staff would need eight more lots; however, the owners of
those lots were unwilling to sell. Ms. Brooks had spoken with one owner there who was not
interested and three of the properties were homesteaded. The developer can squeeze in 20,000
square feet on the north side of MLK to the alley. It was noted there was no demand for retail
space on the south side. Ms. Brooks sent information to the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach
and showed them a vacant site which could accommodate a new 20,000 square foot
headquarters, and would create jobs. The Ocean Breeze East area was also an option since
they needed to be on a Palm Tran route.
Discussion followed about how to proceed. Chair Taylor advised he could go either way, and
acknowledged Vice Chair Hay's thoughts to land bank. Mr. Weiland thought the likelihood of a
large scale development occurring within the next five to ten years was unlikely.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
November 10, 2009
Mr. Rodriguez felt this was the best time to redevelop. He recommended moving forward with
an RFP and evaluating it. Vice Chair Hay could consider moving ahead with the RFP but
requested hearing from the other speakers.
Victor Norfus advised many individuals want to sell, but do not want to sell for the price the
Community Redevelopment Agency wants to pay. Residents find out the going rate and hold
out. He agreed staff should land bank, but did not want to rush things since the Master Plan
was not agreed to. He thought the land could support a business incubator and advised the
residents wanted to see something. The community was restless because nothing was being
constructed. He reiterated there are start-up businesses that could benefit from a successful
incubator, but advised not to construct a bunch of Habitat homes. He thought some retail should
be constructed.
Mr. Rodriguez left the dais at 7:39 p.m.
Mr. Norfus indicated staff may have to pay more or wait longer, but staff should give hope and
inspiration.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to direct staff to prepare an RFP for the January 2010 agenda with the
desired outcome included in the language of the RFP. Ms. Ross seconded the motion that
unanimously passed. (Mr. Rodriguez not present for the vote.)
b. Consideration of Reinstating Community Meeting Grant Program
Ms. Brooks explained this item was a recommendation from the Community Committee.
Although the Carolyn Sims Center was open, neighborhood associations had to pay for meeting
space, which was problematic. This item would reinstate a program the Board had last year,
which would allow the organization to come in and apply for assistance with paying a fee to the
City to meet at one of the City's facilities. The funding was reprogrammed from a District III
event to this program.
Mr. Rodriguez returned at 7:42 p.m.
Ms. Bright felt that If the program was reinstated, the Board would be pleased. The organization
signs that they are liable for damages incurred to the facility.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve the reinstating of the HOA Meeting Grant. Ms. Ross
seconded the motion.
Staff recommended covering the cost of the program. It was noted staff holds 21 events on
Ocean Avenue, and since the community wanted the program, this was the best way to fund it.
After discussion, it was agreed the funds should come from the contingency account, so an
event could be held on the south end of town. It was noted the Board had approved holding an
event on the south end of town during the Budget Hearings. The amount to cover the
7
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
November 10, 2009
community meetings was $5,000 and each group could not exceed $1,500 annually. When the
program was instituted two years ago, about $3,500 was expended for the year.
Motion
Mr. Rodriguez moved to pay for the program from contingency rather than taking $5,000 that
was set aside for District III event. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion.
Vote
There was a vote on the first motion to approve the programs. The motion unanimously
passed.
Vote
There was a vote on the second motion to use funds from the contingency account
The motion passed 4-1. (Chair Taylor dissenting.}
c. Consideration of Economic Development Programs
1. Rent Subsidy
2. Signage Improvement
3. Tenant Improvement
Ms. Brooks explained this item was brought back at the request of a Board member. She
explained some buildings were constructed in the 1920s. Areas that have older commercial
corridors have high vacancy rates and a migration from older areas to newer areas, such as
Congress Avenue, occurs. De/ray Beach instituted this program and experienced a high rate of
success. The program encouraged new or existing business to occupy previously vacated
space, and they would assist the business to become established over the next 12 to 18 months
by paying a portion of the rent to the landlord for a limited amount of time.
Discussion followed something needed to happen to draw attention to the downtown. In Delray
Beach, the program was limited to a specified area. Additionally, some municipalities limit the
assistance to certain kinds of businesses that are compatible with the vision of the downtown. It
was noted the lease amount should exceed the subsidy, and it was recommended a multi-year
lease be used. Staff also analyzed the businesses and their financial stability. Applicants
should have a business plan with a five-year financial forecast within it and two years of tax
returns as well. Staff could geographically limit the subsidy to types of businesses. The Delray
Beach Community Redevelopment Agency budgeted $25,000 for the program this year. Ms.
Bright believed the CDBG and HOB areas would probably be the most strategic area to
implement the program, but after speaking to several successful Congress Avenue retail
owners, it was learned rent subsidy up to three months and tenant improvement funding up to
$2,500 was already being provided.
If an applicant received rent subsidy, they might not be receiving Tenant Improvement. Ms.
Bright believed EPOCH Properties and Woolbright Development needed assistance to entice
businesses there. There was no federal funding for small business assistance available in any
of the stimulus plans. The program could be implemented as a pilot program through August of

next year. To spur the type of small business development that was needed in the downtown
area, staff had to try something creative.
Barbara Ready, 329 SW 13th Avenue, spoke as Chair of the Arts Commission. She indicated,
in reference to the signage improvement program, that the Arts Commission would be
interested in being involved in the process as the signage could have art features. She also
thought incentivizing was great because it would assist with attracting artists to the area.
Ms. Brooks explained there was a small business assistance approved line item of $50,000
which could be split among the three programs.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to approve consideration of the economic development program items 1, 2
and 3. Ms. Ross seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
D. Launching of CRA Downtown Google Map
Margee Walsh, reviewed the site. The Community Redevelopment Agency's webpage was
updated.
Mr. Weiland left the dais at 7:58 p.m.
Staff was ahead of the curve in reference to social media tools. Last year they implemented
virtual tours. The site was easy for residents., business owners and developers to maneuver.
The idea was to create Boynton Beach as a destination. All 500 businesses are listed on the
map but only 62 have videos. All 62 of them have their contact information listed.
Mr. Weiland returned to the dais at 8:02 p.m.
The philosophy between marketing and branding was to appeal to people in the country and
state. For newcomers who were not familiar with the downtown, it was easier to divide the area
into districts. The Community Redevelopment Agency District divided businesses .into five
categories that individuals could search. Mr. Rodriguez suggested indicating what districts were
considered the downtown.
The concept was to market Boynton Beach. The CRA linked their site to the Florida Visitor's
Bureau and were running ads, editorials and press releases to foster development. Mr.
Rodriguez and the members thought Ms. Walsh did a great job.
E. Consideration of Purchasing Hollis Property Located at 111 NW 6th Avenue
in the Amount of $90,000
Mr. Simon presented the request. Over the past two years, staff has been engaged in
discussions with the Hollis' to try to purchase property that was adjacent to the Ocean Breese
West site. In June of 2009 it was appraised for $90,000 and the owners agreed to sell it for that
price. Staff recommended approving the purchase.

Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to approve the purchase at $90K. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.
E. Consideration of Entering into a Lease Agreement with Hollis
Mr. Weiland inquired about the need for a lease for $10
Mr. Simon explained the action was similar to the action taken regarding the Jones property.
Aside from the tax liability, the family needed time to find another home after the Community
Redevelopment Agency purchased it. Staff could not offer more than the appraised value of the
property and it might offset some of the rental they may need to find another home. It was a
deal sweetener. Any property acquired that involves home ownership, as opposed to
commercial ownership, would be handled in a gentler manner. The tradeoff between acquiring
the property outweighed what they would lose in taxes. The structure was given zero value
from the appraisal. The only value it had was the land
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to approve. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
J. Future Agenda Items
a. Consideration of GreenCentive Program
K. Comments by Staff
Ms. Biscuiti provided an invitation earlier in the meeting, which was for the sponsor/hospitality
area for the Holiday Extravaganza. Members were requested to limit their parties to a maximum
of six guests, including themselves. She requested the members RSVP. The regular VIPs
would be invited and a list would be created and distributed and a "meet and greet" would occur
before Ms. Gaynor performed.
Ms. Brooks explained the Brandom property would be closing next week. Staff was closing on
the CDC property and Ms. Roberts property; however, staff had to conduct a Phase II
Environmental analysis of soil and water, which was passed. Ms. Brooks advised St. John
Missionary Baptist Church had an interest in renting the property.
Mr. Simon updated the Board on the Sims and Ruby leases, which were executed. Staff would
move forward with making minor improvements to assist the business. The contractor changed
over for the Shoreline Foundation to become the official contractor for the slip renovation, and
submitted the paperwork. The project was ongoing since its approval and there was much
behind the scenes activity occurring before the physical construction took place. A
preconstruction meeting took place for the surrounding property owners. The target date for
construction must coincide with the development of the prebuilt frames, and they anticipate
dovetailing the start in December commencing with dredging work.

Mr. Simon also thanked the Board and his colleagues. As a professional in the industry, he
acknowledged there was a certain pride that could be taken with the Presidential Award that
was won, Many other entities work very hard, and it was a significant accomplishment that the
City and citizens could be proud of. He was proud to be a part of it.
Additionally, Ms. Bright spoke with Reverend Chaney regarding a lease agreement for office
space, and whether he would object to the Police having a presence there on the evenings and
weekends. Reverend Chaney was very agreeable. Staff would bring back proposals for the
Board to decide.
Ms. Walsh also distributed another handout. She indicated staff was ahead of the curve as far
as tools for social media such as Twitter, Facebook, podcasts, etc. A video on the statistics and
immense impact social media has was shown. A copy of the presentation is available at the
Office of the City Clerk.
Mr. Rodriguez left the dais at 8:28 p.m.
L. Comments by Executive Director
Ms. Bright spoke about the Community Committee and advised it was effective and provided for
good dialogue between staff and the citizens. Staff follows up on the directions given. Ms.
Bright reported the community was frustrated about Cherry Hill and advised staff could not
develop those lots, She drafted a letter which will be sent to the Governor, every State Senator,
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The U.S. Government is no longer in
the land business, and they could not find anyone to discuss how to purchase the land from the
Palm Beach County Housing Authority who controls the vacant parcels. The letter would be
going out sometime next week and the letter would be signed on behalf of the Community
Redevelopment Agency Community Committee. One of staff's goals was to redevelop the lots.
On a different note, Ms. Bright indicated she represented the region at the Urban Land Institute
International Fall meeting conference. The Community Redevelopment Agency was well
positioned and she advised if one was not in the Affordable Housing Business, they are not in
any business. The Community Redevelopment Agency Board should be planning, with the
current economy, to have Government as a partner in all real estate transactions. The
commercial real estate market was expected to tank over the next three years and she thanked
the Board for their insight in establishing the small business assistance subsidies.
She recognized November 11, 2009 was Veterans Day, and she recognized staff's favorite Air
Force Veteran, Chair Taylor, who was also celebrating his birthday.
M. Comments by CRA Board Attorney
Attorney Cherof made three comments regarding real estate transactions moving forward.
First, the Boynton Beach Faith Based Community Development Corporation transaction was a
short sale. They did not have the funds to pay the taxes on the property, which were
approximately $4,000. Board approval was needed to shift the cost to the Community
Redevelopment Agency on the closing statement and pay the amount. Staff recommended the

request be approved in order to change that provision of the contract and initial it on the closing
statement.
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to pay the $4,000. Ms. Ross seconded the motion that unanimously
passed.
(Mr. Rodriguez was not present for the vote.)
Regarding the Brandom property, there were two Code Enforcement Liens, of which one was
approximately $21,000 and the second about $1,500. He recommended going to the closing
and taking the property subject to the liens because those could be resolved and reduced or
completely extinguished. A motion to close subject to the liens was needed,
Motion
Vice Chair Hay moved to close. Ms. Ross seconded the motion, that unanimously passed. (Mr.
Rodriguez was not present for the vote.)
Betty's Place, which was the Robert's transaction, as they move to closing needed to have an
environmental study. They just received the Phase II Environmental Report. They located a
tank on the property although they do not know what was in it. Recommendations for additional
evaluation were made. There would be an additional expenditure associated with excavating
and determining what the tank is. It may involve permitting with the Department of
Environmental Resources.
Ms. Brooks explained there was no water or soil contamination revealed around the tank,
Whatever it was did not leak and should not cause problems if they were to purchase the
property as it pertained to contamination issues.
Attomey Cherof commented if the Community Redevelopment Agency attempts later to develop
the property, the issue would need to be dealt with at that time, The property was a former gas
station,
Attorney Cheraf recommended following the recommendation of the environmental consultant
which was to do further exploration of what the use of the tank was and possibly delay the
closing to bring it back to determine how to deal with it. Ms. Brook would obtain an estimate,
Motion
Ms. Ross moved per NEF's recommendation that further exploration be performed in the area of
the underground tank and in an attempt to better evaluate the nature and content of the tank,
Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that unanimously passed. (Mr. Rodriguez was not present
for the vote.)

Re: Boynton Beach Cherry Hills Vacant Parcel
Dear Joe,
About a year ago, CRA staff met with you to develop a plan to coordinate efforts
between the Boynton Beach CRA and the Palm Beach County Housing Authority
(PBCA) for the redevelopment of the vacant parcels known as "Cherry Hills."
Redeveloping these parcels is an essential component of the CRA's
Heart of Boynton (HOB) Redevelopment Master Plan adopted in 2001.
According to the Plan, "Cherry Hills is the single largest impediment to the
redevelopment of the Heart of Boynton" (Exhibit 1). The Plan further states,
"this particular area negatively affects the entire 480 acres known as the Heart of
Boynton. "
Working with the Palm Beach County Housing Authority to develop a plan for the
creation of more single-family homeownership opportunities, serves the HOB
Plan by stabilizing the neighborhood and placing "eyes and ears" on the streets
to support CRA Policing crime prevention efforts.
The Boynton Beach CRA was recognized in October of 2009 by the state of
Florida's Redevelopment Association for its "Urban Infill Housing Program."
Over the past three years, the CRA Board has purchased nine vacant lots
throughout the Heart of Boynton and partnered with the Boynton Beach Faith
Based CDC, RTG Construction and Habitat for Humanity to construct these
homes.
The CRA Board and the CRA Community Committee want to expand the Urban
Infill Housing Program in collaboration with the PBCA. Redevelopment of the
twenty-six parcels not only achieves an implementation goal of the HOB Plan,
but would also make a significant impact within this particular community.

Senator Chris Smith
The Heart of Boynton Redevelopment Master Plan
Churches
Heart of Boynton contains 18 churches covering a wide range of denominations. The
location of these churches in the study area has both positive and negative impacts.
Churches represent an important source of leadership if church leaders can form an active
Ministerial Alliance (which has yet to develop). On the negative side, there are probably
too many churches located in such a small area. The churches do not contribute
advalorem or TIF moneys to the CRA and several churches are in violation of parking
requirements and other LDRs and several are in need of major fayade improvements.
Constraints to Redevelopment
Constraints are largely confined to a limited number of issues: (1) Cherry Hills Public
Housing (and its image to the entire area), (2) Boynton Terrace, (3) Small commercial
businesses catering to these two developments (El Mart, etc.), lack of developable
acreage, and (5) upkeep of vacant parcels and general code enforcement.
Cherry Hills Public Housing
Cherry Hills is the single largest impediment to the redevelopment of Heart of Boynton.
The area is a major center of crime, the aesthetics are bad, and the general image is that of
a "hood" which permeates the entire area. Conversations are been held with the Palm
Beach Public Housing Authority to enable the City to take over the Project. Under that
plan, residents would be given Section 8 vouchers to obtain housing elsewhere, and the
City would demolish the projects buildings and according to this redevelopment plan replat
the area to accommodate a large parcel size. As discussed earlier and again in the next
section, with the removal of Cherry Hills, a new neighborhood will be developed -
"Poinciana Heights" using both the magnet Poinciana Elementary school and a
redeveloped Wilson Center as its center-piece.
Boynton Terrace
Boynton Terrace is a project based Section 8 Housing Project located on either side of
Seacrest Boulevard. As mentioned earlier, the western complex does not fit into the single
family neighborhood of the historic Boynton Hills development. The complex is under
pressure by HUD to improve its facilities and overall management.
Small Commercial Business Problems
Several small commercial businesses (including El Mart, Cherry Hill Store, etc.) primarily
serve Cherry Hills and Boynton Terrace and serve as major loitering areas and centers for

SUBJECT: Southern eRA Crime Report 2008/2009
SUMMARY:
The City Commission received various emails from residents living in the southern portion of the CRA
District concerned about an increase in crime and an expectation the crime would continue to worsen
effectively deteriorating their neighborhoods (Exhibit I-samples).
Serving as CRA Board Member, Commissioner Ross expressed her concern to the Executive Director
over possible crime increases within the eRA district. The CRA Board voted to continue the CRA
Policing Program for FY09-1O at a cost of$369,325. Previous years program costs are $475,345 and
$573,853 respectively, including the current year's cost the entire three years would represent a total
program cost of$1,418,523 (Exhibit 2).
Board Member Ross advised the Executive Director, she based her decision to vote in favor of
continuing the CRA Police Program upon staff's recommendation during the budget process. She
inquired if staff's recommendation to the board had been faulty based upon her recent receipt of citizen
complaints. She further stated that if the CRA Police Program is not at least maintaining and/or
reducing crime within the district, she felt a fiscal responsibility to understand the program's
effectiveness and requested actual annual crime data to support the program.
During the 2009 budget process, the CRA staff based their recommendation for the continuation of the
CRA Police Program upon input received from members of the CRA Community Committee.
Several members of the CRA Community Committee stated they believed the community policing
has been very effective in reducing crime. CRA Committee members requested the CRA staff to
recommend the CRA Board continue the CRA Police Program for the current budget year for 2010.

Please COMMISSIONERS you must: keep the police station downtown!!!
Crime is increasing and will only get worse I
our neighborhoods will continue to deteriorate if the police station is
moved west.
If you lived in the neighborhoods east of 95 you would
feel this way, maybe you should walk in our shoes or

Hello - I am unable to attend the meeting tomorrow night but would like to voice my opinion on the
proposals for the Civic Buildings movement. I am a resident of the SE quadrant of Boynton Beach and
feel that this area has been ignored for way to long. My children have grown up attending dasses at
the civic center - enrolling in the aftercare program at the art center - made countless trips to the
library, played at both parks in the area in question and of coarse enjoyed the schoolhouse museum.
These are all wonderful attractions for the downtown part of Boynton Beach. I am very concerned if
the civic buildings move from there current location this will create MORE vacant buildings and LESS
police presence. I have always felt secure attending this location knowing the police station is right
there. If these key offices are moved I believe the quality of life in this area will rapidly decline and our
neighborhoods will turn for the worst. We have the opportunity to bring the downtown area back to life
with the proposal by Patrinley Group. Thank you for taking the time to read my views and hope your
decision process goes smoothly.
Sincerely, Karen R. Jacobs

Cc: Cherof, James; Swanson, Lynn; Bright, Lisa; Brooks, Vivian; Prainito. Janet; LaVerriere, Lori
Subject: Exhibit A - Brownfields Resolution
Carisse.
The City Commission approved a modified Brownfields area last night. The project is to be phased with future
review of adding mixed use parcels and other parcels. For now, the first phase is:
1. All Commercial and Industrially zoned parcels in the CRA.
2. Both sides of Seacrest between the North ROW of Boynton Beach Blvd and the South ROW of the C-16
canal - extending one lot interior to the street ROW.
3. Both sides of Martin Luther King Blvd between Seacrest and Federal Highway - extending lot interior the
street ROW.
No further Commission action is required for the map. GIS should be able to prepare this map as they already
have the commercial and industrial layer done.
We do need to develop a notification process for the property owners affected by the revised designation. There
was no consensus from the Commission on this aspect of the program that I recall. Please follow-up with Legal
and CRA on this matter.
Thanks,
Kurt

by Mayor Jerry Taylor, Board Chairman
Boynton Beach CRA
During this very "eventful" time of year, I'm happy to say you don't have to look
any further than Boynton Beach for special ways to celebrate good times... .for

Festivities begin with the City's 39th annual Holiday Parade, as the procession
travels north along Federal Highway, complete with local middle and high school
marching bands, captivating costumes, swashbuckling pirates and colorful floats.
Immediately following the parade, young and old alike are encouraged to
assemble on east Ocean Avenue. to watch members of the City Commission
pull the switch, lighting the grand, 50-foot LED tree located in Santa's Village
outside the Schoolhouse Children's Museum.
But don't venture too far, as Grammy Award winning "Queen of Disco" Gloria
Gaynor, this year's headliner, is scheduled to perform a free concert for the
holiday crowd at 7:00 p.m. also on Ocean Avenue. Ms. Gaynor, who began her
singing career in the 1960's and was recently inducted in the Dance Hall of
Fame, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of her Billboard chart buster, number
one hit, "I Will Survive," released in 1979. Disco will be alive and well on
Saturday night, December 5, under the stars in downtown Boynton Beach!!
Holiday Boat Parade: On Friday, December 11, the 38th annual Boynton/Delray
Beach Boat Parade will sail/motor into view with another helping of holiday
magic, as a dazzling display of boats makes their way from the Boynton Beach
inlet to the C-15 canal south of Delray. The two-hour event is visible along the
Intracoastal Waterway, and prime viewing spots include the Boynton Harbor
Marina, Two Georges Waterfront Grille, Banana Boat, Prime Catch. and Old

eRA "FYI"
New publication identifies how the Agency serves the City of Boynton Beach
by Mayor Jerry Taylor, Board Chairman
Boynton Beach CRA
The Boynton Beach CRA launched its premier issue of CRA "FYI", an annual newsletter dedicated
to expanding the knowledge of what the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency does,
how it operates, and what benefits it brings to our residents and city. 23,000 copies were mailed to
residents and businesses within the CRA district.
Redevelopment will always be a priority in a diverse and densely populated state like Florida. The
Florida State Statute 163.335 cautions "there exist in counties and municipalities of the state, slum and
blighted areas which constitute a serious and growing menace, injurious to the public health, safety.
morals. and welfare of the residents of the state." The Boynton Beach City Commission created its
CRA in 1982 to address not only the blighted sections of downtown, but the effect these areas
had on the loss in values to coastal properties, as evidenced by the state statute.
Across Florida, 141 active community redevelopment agencies work every day to build better
communities. Because they do much of their work quietly behind the scenes, a lot of people aren't
aware that CRAs are the mechanism through which many new housing units, thriving shops and
businesses, job opportunities, community improvements and beautification efforts, and outdoor venues
and festivals are funded.
Some of the events, programs and projects offered by Boynton Beach CRA include:
. 2008 Boynton Beach Holiday Extravaganza, Saturday. December 6. featuring free
concert by Grammy award-winner, Jon Secada
. Financial assistance to eligible commercial property owners on exterior
improvements through the Commercial Fayade Improvement Grant
. Collaboration with The Auburn Group, LLC, in a private/public partnership to develop
the Martin Luther King corridor in the Heart of Boynton community
As our eRA applies its skills, expertise and funding provided by properties in the CRA area that
increase in value, we've seen a Boynton Beach where commerce and investment, affordable housing,
culture and entertainment, and community pride have reached exciting new benchmarks. Our CRA will
continue to playa leading role in ensuring that the quality of life in Boynton Beach keeps getting better
and better.
To view an electronic version of the "FYI" newsletter or find out more about upcoming events, visit
www.bovntonbeachcra.com or call 561-737-3256.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Environmental Clean Up - 1002 MLK Blvd./Betty's Place
SUMMARY: The Agency is under contract to purchase 1002 MLK Blvd. As part of the due diligence of
the Purchase Agreement the Agency retained Nutting Environmental of Florida to conduct a Phase I
Environmental Assessment. The Phase I report indicated that there was a former gas station on the site and
recommended conducting a Phase IT Environmental Assessment. The Phase IT Assessment revealed the
existence of a tank containing a minimum amount of petroleum product (see attachment for tank location).
The removal and disposal of the tank will cost the Agency approximately $14,910 with the possibility of
additional costs depending contingencies, if any, as noted in the attached Proposal for Tank Closure Assessment.
The Tank Closure process will take approximately 60 days.
Currently, the closing is scheduled for January 25th, 2010. The tank clean-up will disrupt the business operations
of the Roberts. Therefore, staff recommends closing on the property and then commencing with the tank clean-up
process to minimize the impact to the business.
FISCAL IMPACT: $14,910 from Heart of Boynton Line Item
CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: Heart of Boynton eommunity Redevelopment Plan
RECOMMENDATIONS/OPTIONS: Staff recommends approval of keeping the closing on
January 25,2010, and the expenditure of$14,91O +/- to conduct the underground tank storage removal
and closure.

NEF # 6967.1
Dear Ms. Utterback:
NUTTING ENVIRONMENTAL OF FLORIDA, INC. (NEF) is pleased to present this proposal for the performance of Storage Tank
Closure System Closure Assessment. This closure assessment will be conducted In general accordance with guidelines
established in the "Storage Tank System Closure Assessment Requirements", Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) publication of April 1998 at the above referenced project in accordance with your request.
One approximately 1,000-gallon underground storage tank (UST) system was reportedly Identified on site during the
performance of a Ground Penetrating Radar survey performed by GroundHound Detection Services in November 2009.
On November 23, 2009, NEF personnel attempted to excavate tl1e soli In the vicinity of the tank In order to further expose
the tank and look for fill ports/access ways for access to the Interior of the tank. Based on limited excavation activities, the
tank appeared to be eight feet long and four feet In diameter. Approximately three to four inches of petroleum product was
noted in the bottom of the tank.
The Basic Services outlined by the proposal consist of: 1) obtain permit at Palm Beach County Department of
Environmental Resources Management and City of Boynton Beach for registration and removal of UST; 2) expose top and
side walls of UST; 3) clean and rinse UST and dispose of product ,olly/water and petroleum sludge; 4) removal of UST
from excavation, transport and proper disposal offsite, backfill excavation; 5) observation of tank removal activities; 6) field
screening of soli quality from specific locations within the UST excavation area during and subsequent to tank removal
activities and along product piping; 7) collection of a mInimum of one soli sample from the UST excavation for laboratory
analysis; 9) installation and sampling of one groundwater monitoring well in the former UST area; 9) preparation and
submittal of a Tank Closure Assessment Report (TCAR), as required by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) and Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM).
It should be noted that additional expenses may be incurred during this project due to unforeseen site conditions or the
discovery of contamination. If soli and/or groundwater contamination is recorded in the laboratory analysis above Chapter
62.777 Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Cleanup Target Levels (CTLs) a "reportable release" may exist potentially
requiring the filing of a Discharge Reporting Form (DRF) with FDEP and/or the local regulatory agency. Filing of a DRF will

likely necessitate further site evaluation and possible remediation. If excessively contaminated soli is detected during tank
removal activities or free floating product Is visible on the groundwater in the tank excavation, FDEP and/or ERM will likely
require the filing of a DRF along with additional site assessment and possible "source removal" activities in the area of the
UST excavation.
If soil contaminant concentrations above Chapter 62-777, FAC leaohabllity guidelines are recorded in soil laboratory
analysis, at a minimum it will be necessary to run an SPLP extraction on the soil residue for subsequent analysis for the
parameters of concern if the soli sample is still within the two week maximum holding period. If the SPLP sample exceeds
leachability guidelines further soil excavation (source removal activities) will likely be required. Servioes related to souroe
removal or site assessment activities would be addressed In a separate proposal.
Due to the absence of information regarding the volume of contaminated soils (if any) prices for the removal, transportation
and disposal of petrOleum contaminated soils will be billed according to the unit prices identified in this proposal, upon
speoific authorization by the client.
It should be noted that additional expenses may be incurred during this project due to unforeseen site oonditions. Given
the limited information regarding the UST (e.g. number, size, contents) is available, the proposal is based on the
assumption that one 1 ,OOO-gallon UST system is located on the property. For the purpose of the proposal It is assumed
that a total of 1,000 gallons of liquids and no 55-gallon drums of petroleum sludge (non hazardous petroleum related) is
present in the UST system. The actual cost will be based upon quantities present on the day of the field activities.

forward to providing these professional services to your firm. For further information regarding our company's

"'.
eRA BOARD MEETING OF: December 8, 2009

SUBJECT: Consideration of Options on Mortgage Foreclosure Action of HAP recipient Kathleen Barbee.
SUMMARY: On November 14,2007 the Board approved HAP funds for Kathleen Barbee in the amount of
$50,000.00. The closing for the purchase of the property was held on December 3, 2007 at which time the HAP
funds were disbursed to the Seller. On October 29,2009, the CRA was served with a Complaint for foreclosure
by Marshall C. Watson, P.A. on behalf of HSBC Mortgage Corporation USA.
The CRA has 30 days from the date of service of the Complaint in which to file its Answer. CRA staff is looking
for direction from the Board on how to answer the complaint. CRA legal counsel presented the following options
for the Board to consider in this matter:
Option 1: File an Answer only. Ifthe foreclosure goes through, the property is sold, and there is money left over
after satisfYing the first and second mortgages, the CRA could get some or all of the remaining money.
Option 2: File an Answer and Cross-Claim to foreclose on the CRA's 3rd mortgage. If the foreclosure goes
through successfully, this would result in a judgment being entered against the homeowner in favor of the CRA.
So, if the homeowner were to come into a large sum of money (such as winning the Lottery), the CRA's $50,000
judgment against the homeowner would be satisfied by such money. The cost for filing a cross-claim with the
Clerk of court is $395.
As background information for your consideration, the CRA Board approved Option 1 for HAP recipient, Faith
Dickens, at their Special meeting held on September 24, 2009. Ms. Barbee is the second HAP grant recipient to
go into foreclosure since the program's inception.
FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined.
CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: Homebuyer's Assistance Program
RECOMMENDATIONS: Option 1 or Option 2 outlined above.

of this Notice. If the debtor fails to dispute the debt within 30 days, the debt will be assumed valid
by the creditor.
3. If the debtor notifies the creditor's law firm in writing within 30 days from receipt of this notice
that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the creditor's law firm will obtain verification of
the debt, or a copy of a judgment and a copy of the verification will be mailed to the debtor by the
creditor's law firm. Collection efforts, resulting in additional attorney fees and costs however, will
continue during this 30 day period until this office receives the written request for verification.
4. If the creditor named herein is not the original creditor, and if the debtor makes a written request
to the creditor's law firm within 30 days of receipt of this Notice, the name and address of the
original creditor will be mailed to the debtor by the creditor's law firm. Collection efforts, resulting
in additional attorney fees and costs however, will continue during this 30 day period until this
office receives the written request for the name and address of the original creditor.
5. As of October 15,2009, you owe a total amount of$198,006.08 in certified funds. Because of
interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day to day, the amount due on the day
you pay may be greater. Hence, if you pay the amount shown above, an adjustment may be
necessary after we receive your certified funds, in which event we will inform you before

debtor will be used for that purpose.
8. The Law does not require me (the debt collector) to wait until the end ofthe thirty-day period
before suing you (the consumer) to collect this debt. Once a lawsuit is commenced, all judicial
remedies will be zealously pursued and attorney fees and costs, which you may be responsible for,
in whole or in part, will be incurred. If, however, you request proof of the debt or the name and
address of the original creditor within the thirty-day period which begins with your receipt of this
letter, the law requires me to suspend my efforts (through litigation or otherwise) to collect the
debt until I mail the requested information to you. Once the requested information is mailed to you
litigation efforts will resume.
9. Even though you are required to file a response to the lawsuit prior to the thirty (30) days, your
validation rights, as set forth in this notice, shall not expire for thirty (30) days.

BORROWER COVENANTS that Borrower is lawfully seised of the estate hereby conveyed and has
the right to mortgage, grant and convey the Property and that the Property is unencumbered, except for
encumbrances of record. Borrower warrants and will defend generally the title to the Property against all
claims and demands, subject to any encumbrances of record.
THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT combines uniform covenants for national use and non-uniform
covenants with limited variations by jurisdiction to constitute a uniform security instrument covering real
property.
UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender covenant and agree as follows:
1. Payment of Principal, Interest, Escrow Items, Prepayment Charges, and Late Charges.
Borrower shall pay when due the principal of, and interest on, the debt evidenced by the Note and any
prepayment charges and late charges due under the Note. Borrower shall also pay funds for Escrow Items
pursuant to Section 3. Payments due under the Note and this Security Instrument shall be made in U.S.
currency. However, if any check or other instrument received by Lender as payment under the Note or this
Security Instrument is returned to Lender unpaid, Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments
due under the Note and this Security Instrument be made in one or more of the following forms, as
selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer's check or
cashier's check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured by a
federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; or (d) Electronic Funds Transfer.
Payments are deemed received by Lender when received at the location designated in the Note or at
such other location as may be designated by Lender in accordance with the notice provisions in Section 15.
Lender may return any payment or partial payment if the payment or partial payments are insufficient to
bring the Loan current. Lender may accept any payment or partial payment insufficient to bring the Loan
current, without waiver of any rights hereunder or prejudice to its rights to refuse such payment or partial
payments in the future, but Lender is not obligated to apply such payments at the time such payments are
accepted. If each Periodic Payment is applied as of its scheduled due date, then Lender need not pay
interest on unapplied funds. Lender may hold such unapplied funds until Borrower makes payment to bring
the Loan current. If Borrower does not do so within a reasonable period of time, Lender shall either apply
such funds or return them to Borrower. If not applied earlier, such funds will be applied to the outstanding
principal balance under the Note immediately prior to foreclosure. No offset or claim which Borrower
~ght have now or in the future against Lender shall relieve Borrower from making payments due under
the Note and this Security Instrument or performing the covenants and agreements secured by this Security
Instrument.
2. Application of Payments or Proceeds. Except as otherwise described in this Section 2, all
payments accepted and applied by Lender shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) interest
due under the Note; (b) principal due under the Note; (c) amounts due under Section 3. Such payments
shall be applied to each Periodic Payment in the order in which it became due. Any remaining amounts
shall be applied first to late charges, second to any other amounts due under this Security Instrument, and
then to reduce theprincipaJ balance of the Note.
If Lender receives a payment from Borrower for a delinquent Periodic Payment which includes a
sufficient amount to pay any late charge due, the payment may be applied to the delinquent payment and
the late charge. If more than one Periodic Payment is outstanding, Lender may apply any payment received
from Borrower to the repayment of the Periorlic Payment~ i( ann tf) the extent that, each payment

. -6AtFlI 100051.03 Pogo 4 of 1 r Form 3010 1/01
(1!>
....
can be paid in full. To the extent that any excess exists after the payment is applied to the full payment of
one or more Periodic Payments, such excess may be applied to any late charges due. Voluntary
prepayments shall be applied first to any prepayment charges and then as descnoed in the Note.
Any application of payments, insurance proceeds, or Miscellaneous Proceeds to principal due under
the Note shall not extend or postpone the due date, or change the amount, of the Periodic Payments.
3. Funds for Escrow Items. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the day Periodic Payments are due
under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (the "Funds") to provide for payment of amounts due
for: (a) taxes and assessments and other items which can attain priority over this Security Instrument as a
lien or encumbrance on the Property; (b) leasehold payments or ground rents on the Property, if any; (c)
premiums for any and all insurance required by Lender under Section 5; and (d) Mortgage Insurance
premiums, if any, or any sums payable by Borrower to Lender in lieu of the payment of Mortgage
Insurance premiums in accordance with the provisions of Section 10. These items are called "Escrow
Items." At origination or at any time during the term of the Loan, Lender may require that Community
Association Dues, Fees, and Ass~sments, if any, be escrowed by Borrower, and such dues, fees and
,assessments shall be an Escrow Item. Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender all notices of amounts to
be paid under this Section. Borrower shall pay Lender the Funds for Escrow Items unless Lender waives
Borrower's obligation to pay the Funds for any or all Escrow Items. Lender may waive Borrower's
obligation to pay to Lender Funds for any or all Escrow Items at any time. Any such waiver may only be
in writing. In the event of such waiver, Borrower shall pay directly, when and where payable, the amounts
due for any Escrow Items for which payment of Funds has been waived by Lender and, if Lender requires,
shall furnish to Lender receipts evidencing such payment within such time period as Lender may require.
Borrower's obligation to make such payments and to provide receipts shall for all purposes be deemed to
be a covenant and agreement contained in this Security Instrument, as the phrase "covenant and agreement"
is used in Section 9. If Borrower is obligated to pay Escrow Items directly, pursuant to a waiver, and
Borrower fails to pay the amount due for an Escrow Item, Lender may exercise its rights under Section 9
and pay such amount and Borrower shall then be obligated under Section 9 to repay to Lender any such
amount. Lender may revoke the waiver as to any or all Escrow Items at any time by a notice given in
accordance with Section 15 and, upon such revocation, Borrower shall pay to Lender all Funds, and in
such amounts, that are then required under this Section 3.
Lender may, at any time, collect and hold Funds in an amount (a) sufficient to permit Lender to apply
the Funds at the time specified under RESPA, and (b) not to exCeed the maximum amount a lender can
require under RESPA. Lender"shall estimate the amount of Funds due on the basis of current data and
reasonable estimates of expenditures of future Escrow Items or otherwise in accordance with Applicable
Law.
The Funds shall be held in an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency.
instrumentality, .or entity (including Lender, if Lender is an institution whose deposits are so insured) or in
any Federal Home Loan Bank. Lender shall apply the Funds to pay the Escrow Items no later than the time
specified under RESP A. Lender shall not charge Borrower for holding and applying the Funds, annually
analyzing the escrow account, or verifying the Escrow Items, unless Lender pays Borrower interest on the
Funds and App~icable Law permits Lender to make such a charge. Unless an agreement is made in writing
or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on the Funds, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower
any interest or earnings on the Funds. Borrower ane Lender can agree in writing, however, that interest

~
Form 3010 1'01
shall be paid on the Funds. Lender shall give to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of the
Funds as required by RESPA.
If there is a surplus of Funds held in escrow, as defmed under RESP A, Lender shall account to
Borrower for the excess funds in accordance with RESPA. If there is a shortage of Funds held in escrow,
as defined under RESPA, Lender shall notify Borrower as required by RESPA, and Borrower shall pay to
Lender the amount necessary to make up the shortage in accordance with RESPA, but in no more than 12
monthly payments. If there is a deficiency of Funds held in escrow, as defmed under RESPA, Lender shall
notify Borrower as required by RESP A, and Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount necessary to make
up the deficiency in accordance with RESPA, but in no more than 12 monthly payments.
Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender shall promptly refund
to Borrower any Funds held by Lender.
4. Charges; Liens. Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, charges, fines, and impositions
attributable to the Property which can attain priority over this Security Instrument, leasehold payments or
ground rents on the Property, if any, and Community Association Dues, Fees, and Assessments, if any. To
the extent that these items are Escrow Items, Borrower shall pay them in the manner provided in Section 3.
Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has priority over this Security Instrument unless
Borrower: (a) agrees in writing to the payment of the obligation secured by the lien in a manner acceptable
to Lender, but only so long as Borrower is performing such agreement; (b) contests the lien in good faith
by, or defends against enforcement of the lien in, legal proceedings which in Lender's opinion operate to
prevent the enforcement of the lien while those proceedings are pending, but only until such proceedings
are concluded; or (c) secures from the holder of the lien an agreement satisfactory to Lender subordinating
the lien to this Security Instrument. If Lender determines that any part of the Property is subject to a lien
which can attain priority over this Security Instrument, Lender may give Borrower a notice identifying the
lien. Within 10 days of the date on which that notice is given, Borrower shall satisfy the lien or take one or
more of the actions set forth above in this Section 4.
Lender may require Borrower to pay a one-time charge for a real estate tax verification and/or
reporting service used by Lender in connection with this Loan.
5. Property Insurance. Borrower shall keep the improvements now existing or hereafter erected on
the Property insured against loss by fire, hazards included within the tenn "extended coverage," and any
other hazards including, but not limited to, earthquakes and floods, for which Lender requires insurance.
This insurance shall be maintained in the amounts (including deductible levels) and for the periods that
Lender requires. What Lender requires pursuant to the preceding sentences can change during the term of
the Loan. The insurance carrier providing the insurance shall be chosen by Borrower subject to Lender's
right to disapprove Borrower's choice, which right shall not be exercised unreasonably. Lender may
require Borrower to pay, in connection with this Loan, either; (a) a one-time charge for flood zone
determination, certification and tracking services; or (b) a one-time charge for flood zone determination
and certification services and subsequent charges each time remappings or similar changes occur which
reasonably might affect such determination or certification. Borrower shall also be responsible for the
payment of any fees imposed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in connection with the
review of any flood zone determination resulting from an objection by Borrower.

If Borrower fails to maintain any of the coverages described above, Lender may obtain insurance
coverage, at Lender's option and Borrower's expense. Lender is under no obligation to purchase any
particular type or amount of coverage. Therefore, such coverage shall cover Lender, but might or might
not protect Borrower, Borrower's equity in the Property, or the contents of the Property, against any risk,
hazard or liability and might provide greater or lesser coverage than was previously in effect. Borrower
acknowledges that the cost of the insurance coverage so obtained might significantly exceed the cost of
insurance that Borrower could have obtained. Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 5 shall
become additional debt of Borrower secured by this Security Instrument. These amounts shall bear interest
at the Note rate from the date of disbursement and shall be payable, with such interest, upon notice from
Lender to Borrower requesting payment.
All insurance policies required by Lender and renewals of such policies shall be subject to Lender's
right to disapprove such policies, shall include a standard mortgage clause, and shall name Lender as
mortgagee and/or as an additional loss payee. Lender shall have the right to hold the policies and renewal
certificates. If Lender requires, Borrower shall promptly give to Lender all receipts of paid premiums and
renewal notices. If Borrower obtains any fonn of insurance coverage, not otherwise required by Lender,
for damage to, or destruction of, the Property, such policy shall include a standard mortgage clause and
shall name Lender as mortgagee andlor as an additional loss payee.
In the event of loss, Borrower shall give prompt notice to the insurance carrier and Lender. Lender
may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Unless Lender and Borrower otherwise agree
in writing. any insurance proceeds, whether or not the underlying insurance was required by Lender, shall
be applied to restoration or repair of the Property, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and
Lender's security is not lessened. During such repair and restoration period, Lender shall have the right to
hold such insurance proceeds until Lender has had an opportunity to inspect such Property to ensure the
work has been completed to Lender's satisfaction, provided that such inspection shall be undertaken
promptly. Lender may disburse proceeds for the repairs and restoration in a single payment or in a series
of progress payments as the work is completed. Unless an agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law
requires interest to be paid on such insurance proceeds, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any
interest or earnings on such proceeds. Fees for public adjusters, or other third parties, retained by
Borrower shall not be paid out of the insurance proceeds and shall be the sole obligation of Borrower. If
the restoration or repair is not economically feasible or Lender's security would be lessened, the insurance
proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with
the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. Such insurance proceeds shall be applied in the order provided for in
Section 2.
If Borrower abandons the Property, Lender may file, negotiate and settle any available insurance
claim and related matters. If Borrower does not respond within 30 days to a notice from Lender that the
insurance carrier has offered to settle a claim, then Lender may negotiate and settle the claim. Tbe 3o-day
period will begin when the notice is given. In either event, or if Lender acquires the Property under
Section 22 or otherwise, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender (a) Borrower's rights to any insurance
proceeds in an amount not to exceed the amounts unpaid under the Note or this Security Instrument, and
(b) any other of Borrower's rights (other than the right to any refund of unearned premiums paid by
Borrower) under all insurance policies covering the Property. insofar as such rights are applicable to the
coverage of the Property. Lender may use the insurance proceeds either to repair or restore the Property or
to pay amounts unpaid under the Note or this Security Instrument, whether or not then due.

6. Occupancy. Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal
residence within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and shall continue to occupy the
Property as Borrower's principal residence (or at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender
otherwise agrees in writing, which consertt shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating
circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's control.
7. Preservation, Maintenance and Protection of the Property; Inspections. Borrower shall not
destroy, damage or impair the Property, allow the Property to deteriorate or commit waste on the
Property. Whether or not Borrower is residing in the Property, Borrower shall maintain the Property in
order to prevent the Property from deteriorating or decreasing in value due to its condition. Unless it is
determined pursuant to Section 5 that repair or restoration is not economically feasible, Borrower shall
promptly repair the Property if damaged to avoid further deterioration or damage. If insurance or
condemnation proceeds are paid in connection with damage to, or the taking of, the Property, Borrower
shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the Property only if Lender has released proceeds for such
purposes. Lender may disburse proceeds for the repairs and restoration in a single payment or in a series of
progress payments as the work is completed. If the insurance or condemnation proceeds are not sufficient
to repair or restore the Property, Borrower is not relieved of Borrower's obligation for the completion of
such repair or restoration.
Lender or its agent may make reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property. If it has
reasonable cause, Lender may inspect the interior of the improvements on the Property. Lender shall give
Borrower notice at the time of or prior to such an interior inspection specifying such reasonable cause. .
8. Borrower's Loan Application. Borrower shall be in default if, during the Loan application
process, Borrower or any persons or entities acting at the direction of Borrower or with Borrower's
knowledge or consent gave materially false, misleading, or inaccurate infonnation or statements to Lender
(or failed to provide Lender with material information) in connection with the Loan. Material
representations include, but are not limited to, representations concerning Borrower's occupancy of the
Property as Borrower's principal residence.
9. Protection of Lender's Interest in the Property and Rights Under this Security Instrument. If
(a) Borrower fails to perform the covenants and agreements contained in this Security Instrument, (b) there
is a legal proceeding that might significantly affect Lender's interest in the Property and/or rights under
this Security Instrument (such as a proceeding in bankruptcy, probate, for condemnation or forfeiture, for
enforcement of a lien which may attain priority over this Security Instrument or to enforce laws or
regulations), or (c) Borrower has abandoned the Property, then Lender may do and pay for whatever is
reasonable or appropriate to protect Lender's interest in the Property and rights under this Security
Instrument, including protecting and/or assessing the value of the Property, and securing and/or repairing
the Property. Lender's actions can include, but are not limited to: (a) paying any sums secured by a lien
which has priority over this Security Instrument; (b) appearing in court; and (c) paying reasonable
attorneys' fees to protect its interest in the Property and/or rights under this Security Instrument, including
.\ts seCllred position in a bankruptcy proceeding. Securing the Property includes, but is not limited to,
entering the Property to make repairs, change locks, replace or board up doors and windows, drain water
from pipes, eliminate building or other code violations or dangerous conditions, and have utilities turned
on or off. Although Lender may take action under this Section 9, Lender does not have to do so and is not
under any duty or obligation to do so. It is agreed that Lender incurs no liability for not taking any or all
actions authorized under this Section 9.

Any amounts disbursed by Lender under this Section 9 shall become additional debt of Borrower
secured by this Security Instrument. These amounts shall bear interest at the Note rate from the date of
disbursement and shall be payable, with such interesF, upon notice from Lender to Borrower requesting
paymrtthis Security Instrument is on a leasehold, Borrower shall comply with all the provisions of the
lease. If Borrower acquires fee title to the Property, the leasehold and the fee title shall not merge unless
Lender agrees to the merger in writing.
10. Mortgage Insurance. If Lender required Mortgage Insurance as a condition of making the Loan,
Borrower shall pay the premiums required to maintain the Mortgage Insurance in effect. If, for any reason,
the Mongage Insurance coverage required by Lender ceases to be available from the mortgage insurer that
previously provided such insurance and Borrower was required to make separately designated payments
toward the premiums for Mortgage Insurance, Borrower shall pay the premiums required to obtain
coverage substantially equivalent to the Mortgage Insurance previously in effect, at a cost substantially
equivalent to the cost to Borrower of the Mortgage Insurance previously in effect, from an alternate
mortgage insurer selected by Lender. If substantially equivalent Mortgage Insurance coverage is not
available, Borrower shall continue to pay to Lender the amount of the separately designated payments that
were due when the insurance coverage ceased to be in effect. Lender will accept, use and retain these
payments as a non-refundable loss reserve in lieu of Mortgage Insurance. Such loss reserve shall be
non-refundable, notwithstanding the fact that the Loan is ultimately paid in full, and Lender shall not be
required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such loss reserve. Lender can no longer require loss
reserve payments if Mortgage Insurance coverage (in the amount and for the period that Lender requires)
provided by an insurer selected by Lender again becomes available, is obtained, and Lender requires
separately designated payments toward the premiums for Mortgage Insurance. If Lender required Mortgage
Insurance as a condition of making the Loan and Borrower was required to make separately designated
payments toward the premiums for Mortgage Insurance, Borrower shall pay the premiums required to
maintain Mortgage Insurance in effect, or to provide a non-refundable loss reserve, until Lender's
requirement for Mortgage Insurance ends in accordance with any written agreement between Borrower and
Lender providing for such tennination or until termination is required by Applicable Law. Nothing in this
Section 10 affects Borrower's obligation to pay interest at the rate provided in the Note.
MOltgage Insurance reimburses Lender (or any entity that purchases the Note) for certain losses it
may incur if Borrower does not repay the Loan as agreed. Borrower is not a party to the Mortgage
Insurance.
Mortgage insurers evaluate their total risk on all such insurance in force from time to time, and may
enter into agreements with other parties that share or modify their risk, or reduce losses. These agreements
are on terms and conditions that are satisfactory to the mortgage insurer and the other party (or parties) to
these agreements. These agreements may require the mortgage insurer to make payments using any source
of funds that the mortgage insurer may have available (which may include funds obtained from Mortgage
Insurance premiums).
As a result of these agreements, Lender, any purchaser of the Note, another insurer, any reinsurer,
any other entity, or any affIliate of any of the foregoing, may receive (directly or indirectly) amounts that
derive from (or might be characterized as) a portion of Borrower's payments for Mortgage InSurance, in
exchange for sharing or modifying the mortgage insurer's risk, or reducing losses. If such agreement
provides that an affiliate of Lender takes a share of the insurer's risk in exchange for a share of the
premiums paid to the insurer, the arrangement is often tenned "captive reinsurance.. Further:
(a) Any such agreements will not affect the amounts that Borrower has agreed to pay for
Mortgage Insurance, or any other terms of the Loan. Such agreements will not increase the amount
Borrower will owe for Mortgage Insurance, and they will not entitle Borrower to aoy refund.

(b) Any such agreements will not affect the rights Borrower has - if any - with respect to the
Mortgage Insurance under the Homeowners Protection Act of 1998 or any other law. These rights
may include the right to receive certain disclosures, to request and obtain cancellation of the
Mortgage Insurance, to have the Mortgage Insurance terminated automatically, and/or to receive a
refund of any Mortgage Insurance premiums that were unearned at the time of such cancellation or
termination.
11. Assignment of Miscellaneous Proceeds; Forfeiture. All Miscellaneous Proceeds are hereby
assigned to and shall be paid to Lender.
If the Property is damaged, such Miscellaneous Proceeds shall be applied to restoration or repair of
the Property, if the restoration or repair is economically feasible and Lender's security is not lessened.
During such repair and restoration period, Lender shall have the right to hold such Miscellaneous Proceeds
until Lender has had an opportUnity to inspect such Property to ensure the work has been completed to
Lender's satisfaction, provided that such inspection shall be undertaken promptly. Lender may pay for the
repairs and restoration in a single disbursement or in a series of progress payments as the work is
completed. Unless an agreement is made in writing or Applicable Law requires interest to be paid on such
Miscellaneous Proceeds, Lender shall not be required to pay Borrower any interest or earnings on such
Miscellaneous Proceeds. If the restoration or repair is not economically feasible or Lender's security would
be lessened, the Miscellaneous Proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument,
whether or not then due, with the excess, if any, paid to Borrower. Such Miscellaneous Proceeds shall be
applied in the order provided for in Section 2.
In the event of a total taking, destruction, or loss in value of the Property, the Miscellaneous
Proceeds shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, with
the excess, if any, paid to Borrower.
In the event of a partial taking, destruction, or loss in value of the Property in which the fair market
value of the Property immediately before the partial taking, destruction, or loss in value is equal to or
greater than the amount of the sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately before the partial
taking, destruction, or loss in value, unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, the sums
secured by this Security Instrument shall be reduced by the amount of the Miscellaneous Proceeds
multiplied by the following fraction: (a) the total amount of the sums secured immediately before the
partial taking, destruction, or loss in value divided by (b) the fair market value of the Property
immediately before the partial taking, destruction, or loss in value. Any balance shall be ,Paid to Borrower.
In the event of a partial taking, destruction, or loss in value of the Property in whlch the fair market
value of the Property immediately before the partial taking, destruction, or loss in value is less than the
amount of the sums secured immediately before the partial taking, destruction, or loss in value, unless
Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, the Miscellaneous Proceeds shall be applied to the sums
secured by this Security Instrument whether or not the sums are then due.
If the Property is abandoned by Borrower, or if, after notice by Lender to Borrower that the
Opposing Party (as defined in the next sentence) offers to make an award to settle a claim for damages,
Borrower fails to respond to Lender within 30 days after the date the notice is given. Lender is authorized
to collect and apply the MisCellaneous Proceeds either to restoration or repair of the Property or to the
sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due. "Opposing Party" means the third party
that owes Borrower Miscellaneous Proceeds or the party against whom Borrower has a right of action in
regard to Miscellaneous Proceeds.
Borrower shall be in default if any action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, is begun that, in
Lender's judgment, could result in forfeiture of the Property or other material impairment of Lender's
interest in the Property or rights under this Security Instrument. Borrower can cure such a default and, if
acceleration has occurred, reinstate as provided in Section 19, by causing the action or proceeding to be
dismissed with a ruling that, in Lender's judgment, precludes forfeiture of the Property or other material
impainnent of Lender's interest in the Property or rights under this sec. urityp:: I. rument. The proceeds of

any award or claim for damages that are attributable to the impairment of Lender's interest in the Property
are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Lender.
All Miscellaneous. Proceeds that are not applied to restoration or repair of the Property shall be
applied in the order provided for in Section 2.
12. Borrower Not Released; Forbearance By Lender Not a Waiver. Extension of the time for
payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured by this Security Instrument granted by Lender
to Borrower or any Successor in Interest of Borrower shall not operate to release the liability of Borrower
or any Successors in Interest of Borrower. Lender shall not be required to commence proceedings against
any Successor in Interest of Borrower or to refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify
amortization of the sums secured by this Security Instrument by reason of any demand made by the original
Borrower or any Successors in Interest of Borrower. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or
remedy including, without limitation, Lender's acceptance of payments from third persons, entities or
Successors in Interest of Borrower or in amounts less than the amount then due, shall not be a waiver of or
preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
13. Joint and Several Liability; Co-signers; Successors and Assigns Bound. Borrower covenants
and agrees that Borrower's obligations and liability shall be joint and several. However, any Borrower who
co-signs this Security Instnunent but does not execute the Note (a "ea-signer"): (a) is co-signing this
Security Instrument only to mortgage, grant and convey the co-signer's interest in the Property under the
terms of this Security Instrument; (b) is not personally obligated to pay the swns secured by this Security
Instrument; and (c) agrees that Lender and any other Borrower can agree to extend, modify, forbear or
make any acconunodations with regard to the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note without the
co-signer's consent.
Subject to the provisions of Section 18, any Successor in Interest of Borrower who assumes
Borrower's obligations under this Security Instrument in writing, and is approved by Lender, shall obtain
all of Borrower's rights and benefits under this Security Instrument. Borrower shall not be released from
Borrower's obligations and liability under this Security Instrument unless Lender agrees to such release in
writing. The covenants and agreements of this Security Instrument shall bind (except as provided in
Section 20) and benefit the successors and assigns of Lender.
14. Loan Charges. Lender may charge Borrower fees for services performed in connection with
Borrower's default, for the purpose of protecting Lender's interest in the Property and rights under this
Security Instrument, including, ~ut not limited to, attorneys' fees, property inspection and valuation fees.
In regard to any other fees, the absence of express authority in this Security Instrument to charge a specific
fee to Borrower shall not be construed as a prohibition on the charging of such fee. Lender may not charge
fees that are expressly prohibited by this Security Instrument or by Applicable Law.
If the Loan is subject to a law which sets maximum loan charges, and that law is fmally interpreted so
that the interest or other loan charges collected or to be collected in connection with the Loan exceed the
permitted limits, then: (a) any such loan charge shall be reduced by the amount necessary to reduce the
charge to the permitted limit; and (b) any sums already collected from Borrower which exceeded pennitted
limits will be refunded to Borrower. Lender may choose to make this refund by reducing the principal
owed under the Note or by making a direct payment to Borrower. If a refund reduces principal, the
:.-eduction will be treated as a partial prepayment without any prepayment charge (whether or not a
prepayment charge is provided for under the Note): Borrower's acceptance of any such refund made by
direct payment to Borrower will constitute a waiver of any right of action Borrower might have arising out
of such overcharge.
15. Notices. All notices given by Borrower or Lender in connection with this Security Instrument
must be in writing. Any notice to Borrower in connection with this Security Instrument shall be deemed to
have bet"n given to Borrower when mailed by first class mail or when actually delivered to Borrower's

unless Applicable Law expressly requires otherwise, The notice address shall be the Property Address
unless Borrower has designated a substitute notice address by notice to Lender. Borrower shall promptly
notify Lender of Borrower's change of address, If Lender specifies a procedure for reporting Borrower's
change of address, then Borrower shall only report a change of address through that specified procedure,
There may be only one designated notice address under this Security Instrument at anyone time. Any
notice to Lender shall be given'by delivering it or by mailing it by first class mail to Lender's address
stated herein unless Lender has designated another address by notice to Borrower. Any notice in
connection with this Security Instrument shall not be deemed to have been given to Lender until actually
received by Lender. If any notice required by this Security Instrument is also required under Applicable
Law, the Applicable Law requirement will satisfy the corresponding requirement under this Security
Instrument.
16. Governing Law; Severability; Rules of Construction. This Security Instrument shall be
governed by federal law and the law of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. All rights and
obligations contained in this Security Instrument are subject to any requirements and limitations of
Applicable Law. Applicable Law might explicitly or implicitly allow the parties to agree by contract or it
might be silent, but such silence shall not be construed as a prohibition against agreement by contract, In
the event that any provision or clause of this Security Instrument or the Note conflicts with Applicable
Law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this Security Instrument or the Note which can be
given effect without the conflicting provision.
As used in this Security Instrument: (a) words of the masculine gender shall mean and include
r.orresponding neuter words or words of the feminine gender; (b) words in the singular shall mean and
include the plural and vice versa; and (c) the word "may" gives sole discretion without any obligation to
take any action.
17. Borrower I s Copy. Borrower shall be given one copy of the Note and of this Security Instrument.
18. Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Borrower. As used in this Section 18,
""(nterest in the Property" means any legal or beneficial interest in the Property, including, but not limited
to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for deed, installment sales contract or
escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by Borrower at a future date to a purchaser.
If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower
is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender's prior
written consent, Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security
Instrument. However, this option shall not be exercised by Lender if such exercise is prohibited by
Applicable Law.
If Lender exercises this option, Lender shall give Borrower notice of acceleration. The notice shall
provide a period of not less than 30 days from the date the notice is given in accordance with Section 15
within which Borrower must pay all swns secured by this Security Instrument. If Borrower fails to pay
these swns prior to the expiration of this period, Lender may invoke any remedies pennitted by this
Security Instrument without further notice or demand on Borrower.
19. Borrower's Right to Reinstate After Acceleration. If Borrower meets certain conditions,
Borrower shall have the right to have enforcement of this Security Instrument discontinued at any time
prior to the earliest of: (a) five days before sale of the Property pursuant to any power of sale contained in
::his Security Instrument; (b) such other period as Applicable Law might specify for the termination of
Borrower's. right to reinstate; or (c) entry of a judgment enforcing this Security Instrument. Those
conditions are that Borrower: (a) pays Lender all sums which then would be due under this Security
Instrument and the Note as if no acceleration had occurred; (b) cures any default of any other covenants or
agreements; (c) pays all expenses incurred in enforcing this Security Instrument, including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees, oroperty inspection and valuation fees, and other fees incurred for the

purpose of protecting Lender's interest in the Property and rights under this Security Instrument; and (d)
takes such action as Lender may reasonably require to assure that Lender's interest in the Property and
rights \Ulder this Security Instrument, and Borrower's obligation to pay the sums secured by this Security
Instrument, shall continue unchanged. Lender may require that Borrower pay such reinstatement sums and
expenses in one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c)
certified check, bank check, treasurer's check or cashier's check, provided any such check is drawn upon
an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality or entity; or (d) Electronic
Funds Transfer. Upon reinstatement by Borrower, this Security Instrument and obligations secured hereby
shall remain fully effective as if no acceleration had occurred. However, this right to reinstate shall not
apply in the case of acceleration \Ulder Section 18.
20. Sale of Note; Change of Loan Servicer; Notice of Grievance. The Note or a partial interest in
the Note (together with this Security Instrument) can be sold one or more times without prior notice to
Borrower. A sale might result in a change in the entity (known as the "Loan Servicer") that collects
Periodic Payments due \Ulder the Note and this Security Instrument and performs other mortgage loan
servicing obligations under the Note, this Security Instrument, and Applicable Law. There also might be
one or more changes of the Loan Servicer unrelated to a sale of the Note. If there is a change of the Loan
Servicer, Borrower will be given written notice of the change which will state the name and address of the
new Loan Servicer, the address to which payments should be made and any other infonnation RESPA
requires in connection with a notice of transfer of servicing. If the Note is sold and thereafter the Loan is
serviced by a Loan Servicer other than the purchaser of the Note, the mortgage loan servicing obligations
to Borrower will remain with the Loan Servicer or be transferred to a successor Loan Servicer and are not
assumed by the Note purchaser unless otherwise provided by the Note purchaser.
Neither Borrower nor Lender may commence, join, or be joined to any judicial action (as either an
individual litigant or the member of a class) that arises from the other party's actions pursuant to this
Security Instrument or that alleges that the other party has breached any provision of, or any duty owed by
reason of, this Security Instrument, until such Borrower or Lender has notified the other party (with such
notice given in compliance with the requirements of Section 15) of such alleged breach and afforded the
other party hereto a reasonable period after the giving of such notice to take corrective action. If
Applicable Law provides a time period which must elapse before certain action can be taken, that time
period will be deemed to be reasonable for purposes of this paragraph. The notice of acceleration and
opportunity to cure given to Borrower pursuant to Section 22 and the notice of acceleration given to
Borrower pursuant to Section 18 shall be deemed to satisfy the notice and opportunity to take corrective
action provisions of this Section 20.
21. Hazardous Substan.cts. As used in this Section 21: (a) "Hazardous Substances" are those
!''Ubstances defmed as toxic or hazardous substances, pollutants, or wastes by Environmental Law and the
following substances: gasoline, kerosene, other flammable or toxic petroleum products, toxic pesticides
and herbicides, volatile solvents, materials containing asbestos or fonnaldehyde, and radioactive materials;
(b) "Environmental Law" means federal laws and laws of the jurisdiction where the Property is located that
relate to health, safety or environmental protection; (c) "Environmental Cleanup" includes any response
action, remedial action, or removal action, as defined in Environmental Law; and (d) an "Environmental
Condition" means a condition that can cause, contribute to, or otherwise trigger an Environmental
Cleanup.

Borrower shall not cause or permit the presence, use, disposal, storage, or release of any Hazardous
Substances, or threaten to release any Hazardous Substances, on or in the Property. Borrower shall not do,
nor allow anyone else to do, anything affecting the Property (a) that is in violation of any Environmental
Law, (b) which creates an Environmental Condition, or (c) which, due to the presence, use, or release of a
Hazardous Substance, creates a condition that adversely affects the value of the Property. The preceding
two sentences shall not apply to the presence, use, or storage on the Property of small quantities of
Hazardous Substances that are generally recognized to be appropriate to normal residential uses and to
maintenance of the Property (including, but not limited to, hazardous substances in consumer products).
Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of (a) any investigation, claim, demand, lawsuit
or other action by any governmental or regulatory agency or private party involving the Property and any
Hazardous Substance or Environmental Law of which Borrower has actual knowledge, (b) any
Environmental Condition, including but not limited to, any spilling, leaking, discharge, release or threat of
release of any Hazardous Substance, and (c) any condition caused by the presence, use or release of a
Hazardous Substance which adversely affects the value of the Property. If Borrower learns, or is notified
by any governmental or regulatory authority, or any private party, that any removal or other remediation
of any Hazardous Substance affecting the Property is necessary, Borrower shall promptly take all necessary
remedial actions in accordance with Environmental Law. Nothing herein shall create any obligation on
Lender for an Environmental Cleanup.
NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS. Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows:
22. Acceleration; Remedies. Lender shall give notice to Borrower prior to acceleration following
Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement in this Security Instrmnent (but not prior to
acceleration under Section 18 unless Applkable Law provides otherwise). The notice shall specify:
(a) the default; (b) the action required to cure the default; (c) a date, not less than 30 days from the
date the notice is given to Borrower, by which the default must be cured; and (d) that failure to cure
the default on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the sums secured
by this Security Instrument, foreclosure by judicial proceeding and sale of the Property. The notice
shall further infonn Borrower of the right to reinstate after acceleration and the right to assert in the
foreclosure proceeding the non-existence of a default or any other defense of Borrower to acceleration
and foreclosure. If the default is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice, Lender at its
option may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument
without further demand and may foreclose this Security Instrument by judicial proceeding. Lender
shall be entitled to collect all expenses incurred in pursuing the remedies provided in this Section 22,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of title evidence.
23. Release. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Security Instrument, Lender shall release this
Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay any recordation costs. Lender may charge Borrower a fee for
releasing this Security Instrument, but only if the fee is paid to a third party for services rendered and the
charging of the fee is pennitted under Applicable Law.
24. Attorneys' Fees. As used in this Security Instrument and the Note, attorneys' fees shall include
those awarded by an appellate court and any attomeys' fees incurred in a bankruptcy proceeding.
25. Jury Trial Waiver. The Borrower hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in any action,
proceeding, claim, or counterclaim, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity, arising out of or in any
way related to this Security Instrument or the Note.
