VII. Pulled Consent Agenda Items
B. Approval of Minutes - CRA Board Meeting of March 10, 2009
Mr. Rodriguez referred to a discussion he had at the last meeting with Ms. Harris
regarding the rehab program, and the fact that the funds in the program were being
depleted. Ms. Harris was to review the budget for the purpose of identifying potential
dollars which could be transferred from another area into the rehab program. He was
not certain the discussion had been referenced in the minutes of the March 10, 2009
meeting. He requested this issue be discussed under the budget update.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to approve Item VII. B., together with the addition to discuss the
rehab program under the budget update. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that
passed unanimously.
E. Approval of Lease Renewal for 1000 N. Sea crest Blvd., Jesus House of
Worship
3
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
April 14, 2009
Vice Chair Hay noted the CRA had been leasing the Jesus House of Worship for $10
annually. He inquired whether staff had any thoughts as to the manner in which the
property might fit in with the future plans.
Mike Simon, Development Manager, believed there was a potential to redevelop the
property from the corner going inward. With thought being given to current and future
projects, he did not believe the CRA would have a need for the property within the next
year. A provision in the lease proVided for a gO-day notice of termination. If favorable
redevelopment opportunities became available in the next six to eight months, the CRA
could terminate the lease and still provide enough time for Pastor Evans to find another
location. This was acceptable to Pastor Evans. To date, there had been no indication
Pastor Evans was attempting to find an alternate location. Mr. Simon noted the lease
required the Church to be responSible for the maintenance and upkeep of the property.
Motion
May Hay moved to approve Item E. Ms. Ross seconded the motion that passed
unanimously.
K. Monthly Procurement Purchase Orders
Mr. Rodriguez referred to the proposal by PMG Associates to provide Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) projections and to create a database. At the time of the transaction
with the Auburn Group, Auburn was to have paid for an analysis. Mr. Rodriguez
inquired as to when it was determined the projection and creation of the database by
PMG Associates was necessary and whether the work could be performed in-house. He
also questioned the $17,550 cost.
Susan Harris, Finance Director, responded the analysis would provide a projection of
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues for the next five years. The bulk of the project
pertained to the creation of a database for the CRA. The CRA had one of the largest
districts within the State of Florida, and the database would provide a critical tool to
accurately project future Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues and allow staff to be
more proactive. It would also track Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues to be
generated by the Southern Boundary Amendment properties, including base year
documentation. Staff did not have the manpower necessary to perform the work in-
house, as it would be labor intensive.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to approve. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that passed 4-1
(Mr. Rodriguez dissenting).

L. Criteria for Media Coverage
Mr. Rodriguez requested clarification of the criteria, adding he would prefer receiving
either all or no media coverage in order to ensure against censorship. Ms. Ross
believed the media articles provided by Ms. Walsh were very valuable.
Margee Walsh, Marketing and Communications Director, explained the only items she
did not distribute pertained to blogs, letters to the editors and editorials based on
opinion. It was her intent to provide information pertinent to Boynton Beach and the
CRA relative to development and issues addressed at meetings. It had been her
practice to provide coverage of CRA meetings by both the Sun-Sentinel and Palm Beach
Post in order to capture the differing viewpoints, and she would continue to do so, if
the Board so desired.
Mr. Rodriguez suggested specific criteria be established. Chair Taylor, Vice Chair Hay
and Ms. Ross noted they were satisfied with the information Ms. Walsh had been
providing. They wished to continue receiving media coverage on the CRA including
crime reports, special awards, recognition and announcements, as well as general
information on Boynton Beach which impacted the community at large.
Motion
Ms. Ross moved to approve Item L. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion that passed
unanimously.

B. Boynton Beach CRA and Trolley Updates
C. Complaint/Comment Log - Monthly Update
Vice Chair Hay noted a complaint had been entered on the log because the westbound
trolley had not arrived at the #12 north route stop as scheduled. He inquired whether
the complaint had been resolved.
Ashley Buckley, Administrative Services Manager, advised the complaint had been
forwarded to Molly's Trolley, and a representative had contacted the caller, explaining

the trolley had broken down and service could not be provided at the # 12 north route
stop.
Chair Taylor and Vice Chair Hay suggested an "action" column be added to the log. Ms.
Buckley agreed to do so.
D. Planning and Development Board Meeting Agenda - March 24, 2009
E. Status Update on 201 NE 1st Avenue
Chair Taylor had driven by the property and was impressed with the improvements.
Vice Chair Hay requested clarification, as the staff report indicated the CRA Board had
approved the purchase of the historic 19405 home to be included with parcels already
owned by the CRA for future downtown parking. Mr. Simon explained the structure
was purchased for beautification purposes in order to blend in with the remainder of
the area. Commissioner Rodriguez commented on the designation of the 1940s home
as "historic," noting there had been some dissention regarding such designation for the
1927 High School.
F. Dumpster Art Program Final Report
Chair Taylor noted 18 dumpsters had been painted within the City, and pictures of the
dumpsters were included with the meeting materials.
IX. Public Comments: (Note: comments are limited to 3 minutes in
duration)
Chair Taylor opened the public comments.
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6th Avenue, corrected a comment made by Ms. Bright at
the last CRA meeting. The Heritage Festival Committee had not requested $4,000. The
sum of $4,000 had been requested for last year's Intergenerational event. If the
minutes contained this error, a correction would be made.
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, requested the Board stop the continual "nitpicking"
going on during the meeting. He commended the eRA staff for their excellent work,
and believed any action to eliminate staff would be unacceptable. He requested a
civilian eRA Board be established.
No further comments having been made, Chair Taylor closed the public comments.

XI. Old Business:
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

Community Redevelopment Agency Boar<i
Boynton Beach, Florida
April 14, 2009
any more than the appraised value. !Vls. Ross expressed surprise that purchase prices
were not more favorable during the current. economic downturn.
lv1s. 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 Taylor dissenting).
B. Review of Appraisal for Commercial Property Located at 111 NE 9th
Avenue Owned by Ulusoy/Turku
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 Taylor dissenting).

April 14, 2009
Chair Taylor noted he had opposed the motion for the same reasons he had opposed
the previous motion. He felt the money should be used for the land already owned by
the CRA.
C. Presentation of FY 2008-2009 Budget Update
Ms. Harris noted the CRA operated with the General Fund, the Project Fund and the
Debt Service Fund. The General and Project Funds would be reviewed at this meeting.
It could not be determined whether any leeway existed for all items as the budget was
still at mid-year. Depending upon the actions of the Board, it might be necessary to
reallocate certain line items.
In the General Fund, marina revenues were down by approximately 30% in fuel sales
which resulted in a 30% drop in expenses as well. The Board had also approved a fuel
discount to fishermen. Ms. Harris noted a line item had been added for a Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) true-up which might or might not occur. Each year the Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) revenue was based upon the assessed valuations received
from the Property Appraiser on June 1st and on June 30th/July 1st. While revenue was
paid to the CRA with the July 1st assessed valuation, that number was always adjusted
months later after the tax rolls had closed.
Revenue would fall by 6% versus budget. At this point, personnel and departmental
expenses had not changed. Some leeway might be available in Other General Fund
Expenses, as the insurance monies had been refunded from the Hold High School,
reflecting a $14,000 positive variance in that line item. It was the intent for these
monies to be used for the Graffiti Arts project. Monies might be left over in Legal
Expenses. However, based on the action and work plan for the Heart of Boynton
(HOB), significant legal expenses might be necessary for foreclosed properties and
encumbrances.
The line item for Buildings and Ground Budget reflected a $27,000 positive variance by
reducing the emergency reserve, assuming hurricane cleanup would not be necessary.
An overage was reflected in the line item for Information and Technology in the event
the electronic agenda became operational this year. The City Clerk's Office has advised
this could occur by the end of this fiscal year or the next year. Overall, a deficit of
$104,000 could exist in the General Fund versus budget if there were a Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) true-up.
The revenue portion of the Project Fund reflected a deficit of $300,000 in the
Miscellaneous Income line item for a County grant that had not been paid directly to
the City. This amount would be removed from both revenues and expenses. With
9
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
April 14, 2009
regard to the expense portion, there could be a savings in Legal Expenses. However,
depending on the Heart of Boynton (HOB) work plan for the future, significant legal
expenses might be required for demolitions,
All monies allocated for the Residential Improvement Program (RIP) would be utilized
for current applications. Extra dollars, if any, could be allocated from the $1.6 million
discussed earlier. As previously noted, Ms. Harris had been directed at the last meeting
to review the budget in order to identify potential dollars which could be transferred
from another area into the line item for the Residential Improvement Program (RIP)..
Ms. Harris explained the $1.6 million could be utilized toward the Residential
Improvement Programs (RIP) if the Board determined the $1.6 million would not be
spent. Mr. Rodriguez pointed out there was a demand for the program and as such,
additional dollars should be allocated for that purpose.
Ms. Bright indicated that the direction she was given at the last meeting was to return
with a workable plan for the Heart of Boynton (HOB). She pointed out the $1,066,000
allocated to the MLK corridor was to be spent specifically in the Heart of Boynton
(HOB). She felt that reallocating the monies to accommodate a future Residential
Improvement Program (RIP) might be contrary to the action taken at the last meeting.
Chair Taylor noted the community had made it clear at the Residential Improvement
Program (RIP) meetings, that they did not want the monies allocated to the MLK-Heart
of Boynton (HOB) to be utilized elsewhere. A budget was therefore provided for the
Residential Improvement Program (RIP) this year and had been effective. Mr. Weiland
felt a majority of the applicants in the Residential Improvement Program (RIP) were
from the Heart of Boynton (HOB). He could understand utilizing a small percentage of
the $1.6 million to continue assisting people with the program. However, 99% of the
monies should remain in order to purchase property in the Heart of Boynton (HOB). It
appeared $80,000 to $100,000 would be necessary to process four or five more
applications. Vice Chair Hay cautioned against using the monies which the Board
promised would be utilized for the Heart of Boynton (HOB). As to the earlier action
taken to counter-offer the appraised value for the commercial properties, if the sellers
refused the offers, consideration should be given to using those funds for the
Residential Improvement Programs (RIP).
Ms. Bright noted she and Attorney Cherof had been reviewing a contract for the
purchase/acquisition of the EZ Mart for $1.3 million which, if approved by the Board,
would exceed the budget line item of the $1,066,000. She advised staff recently had a
second meeting with the community and would bring a report back to the Board in a
month or two.

Meeting Minutes

(Ms. Ross left the dais at 7:35p.m.)
Ms. Harris discussed next year's budget. If, as the City anticipated, there was a 10%-
12% decrease in revenue, there would be a decrease in the CRA's Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) revenues of $1 million, and $1.3 million for a 15% decrease in
revenues. She reminded the Board that the CRA received its revenue at one time in
late December. As such, the Tax Increment Financing (TlF) revenue would not be
available until January, forcing the CRA to operate during the months of October
through December with the fund balance on hand. She requested authorization to have
preliminary discussions with bank representatives to obtain information on a line of
credit, if needed, to cover operating expenses for the October through December
timeframe. There was consensus to allow Ms. Harris to obtain information and bring it
back to the Board.
(Mr. Rodriguez returned to the dais at 7:37p.m.)
D. Consideration of Request for Funding the Graffiti Art Project - TABLED
March 10, 2009
Motion
Mr. Hay moved to remove the item from the table. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion
that passed unanimously.
Ms. Bright noted the Board had requested Attorney Cherof explore funding sources to
determine whether the item would be covered under the Police fund that assisted non-
profits. It was determined the use would not have been appropriate. The Board's next
direction was to review the budget and identify funding for the project. As noted
earlier, a refund of $14,256 had been received for insurance for the Old High School.
The project would benefit the Heart of Boynton (HOB) and would inform Boynton Beach
youth of the positive effects of Graffiti Art versus tagging (negative graffiti). If the
Board wished to continue to fund this project, the recommended funding source would
be the insurance line item surplus, rather than the contingency fund.
(Ms. Ross returned to the dais at 7:39 p.m.)
Chair Taylor felt this item fell into the "nice to-have," rather than the "must-have"
category. With a poSSible deficit if $104,645, he did not believe $10,000 should be
provided for the project at this time. Vice Chair Hay concurred and would not support
the request.

Meeting MinuteS'
Community Redevelopment Agency Board

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 Taylor, 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 (FDOT) on the project. It appeared the FDOT
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 (FOOD, 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 (FOOT) 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 staff's 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

Boynton Beach, Florida
April 14, 2009
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 eRA 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.

Additionally, there had been overwhelming support to encourage property owners to
redevelop.
XVI. Comments by eRA Board Attorney
None
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
Ventanas, 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.

SUBJECT: Approval of up to $20,000 from the Residential Improvement Grant (RIP) Program for
Elizabeth Jenkins and the property located at 711 NW 1 st Street.
SUMMARY: The Residential Improvement Grant Program was implemented in January 2007 as
part of the HOB Work Program. The goal of the program is to assist very low, low and moderate
income eligible homeowners and landlords in the Heart of Boynton with the rehabilitation and hardening
of the exterior of their homes. Eligible rehabilitation items under current program guidelines include roof
repair or replacement, exterior painting, hurricane shutters, exterior doors, front yard landscaping and
irrigation. To date, the CRA has completed 15 grants totaling $265,600.00.
The RIP grant application, as submitted and reviewed, meets the income and property eligibility criteria
set forth in the approved program guidelines and therefore does not require a wavier of any kind. On
March 2, 2009, an invitation to bid was issued to the CRA Board approved list of RIP program
contractors. After review of the contractor bid proposals submitted on April 30, 2009, McDonald
Construction Co. was the contractor selected to perform the program eligible rehabilitation items (see
attached) based on lowest responsible bid criteria.
FISCAL IMP ACT: $20,000 from the Residential Improvement Grant Program: Project Fund, Line
Item 02-58300-420.
CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: Residential Improvement Grant (RIP) Program
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval of up to $20,000 from the Residential Improvement Grant
(RIP) Program for Elizabeth Jenkins and the property located at 711 NW 1 st Street.

contractors. After review of the contractor bid proposals submitted on April 30, 2009, Glades Roofing

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL
January 13, 2009
Mr, Weiland inquired whether the $400,000 designated for RTG Construction, Inc. Ilao
been approved. Ms. Harris responded it had been approved in the budget process. Ms
Bright noted the expenditure had been approved by the Board prior to the budget, and
was formally approved during the budget process,. While this item was also budgeted
for the Homebuyers' Assistance Program (HAP), some monies were designated
specifically for RTG. Other Board-approved homeowners' assistance funds would be
allocated from the proceeds remaining from bond #2.
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved approval. Mr. Hay seconded the motion that passed
unanimously.
C. Approval of Updated Administrative Policy Manual
Chair Taylor noted Attorney Cherof wished to work with staff to make minor revisions to
the document, which would subsequently be brought back before the Board. He
requested a motion to table.
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved to table. Mr. Hay seconded the motion that passed
unanimously.
D. Approval of Updated Procurement Policy
Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired as to the previous dollar amount that could be approved
by the Executive Director prior to the $25,000 procurement baseline. Ms. Harris
responded any purchase under $10,000 could be approved by the Executive Director,
The review of the policy had been part of the extensive process when all of the
administrative and financial procedures were reviewed for the 2008 audit. Staff was
aware the approval levels were outdated. Ms. Harris reviewed other CRA approval
levels and conferred with the CRA's auditor. It had been determined that the CRA
mirrored the City's approval level. In line with the previous policy and the growth in the
CRA, the approval levels were required to be updated.
Vice Chair Rodriguez asserted he was not comfortable increasing the approval level
from $10,000 to $25,000. It was noted that while the City Manager was authorized to
approve any purchase under $25,000, he provided a report of the items procured for
the Board's review as part of the Consent Agenda. Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired
whether it was the Board's desire for the Executive Director to provide a report as well.
Chair Taylor and Mr. Hay concurred.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL
January 13, 2009
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved the Board approve this purchasing policy, with the addition
that a monthly report be provided to this Board by the Executive Director outlining all
those expenditures under $25,000. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion that passed
unanimously.
E. Approval of Sponsoring the Palm Beach County Business Development
Board's 2009 Familiarization Program (FAM)
Ms. Ross noted she was pleased the CRA and the City were sharing the expense for the
$2,000 sponsorship. She inquired whether CRA Board members were involved or
whether this pertained to staff participation. Ms. Bright explained the CRA had been
approached by the City Commission, through the City Manager, to split the cost of the
$5,000 membership ($2,500 to be paid by both the CRA and the City). Splitting the
cost allowed for the participation of the City Manager and two Commissioners.
Membership was key to the CRA as an economic development engine.
Vice Chair Rodriguez pointed out the event was not included within the membership
previously approved by the Board and inquired whether this item had been budgeted.
It was noted the item had not been budgeted and funds would be required to be
allocated from contingency.
Chair Taylor noted staff was recommending the Board sponsor the event at a cost of
$1,000 and requesting the City contribute the remaining $1,000.
Ms. Ross questioned the resolution included with the meeting materials which had been
adopted by the previous CRA Board on November 14, 2006. Ms. Bright noted the
resolution had been included in error.
Vice Chair Rodriguez believed the sponsorship benefits for the event were wonderful,
but did not feel the event was necessary. He felt the dollars could be put to better use.
Ms. Bright pointed out that while the CRA had membership in the County Business
Development Board, staff did not serve on the Board. Opportunities for CRA
participation were always in addition to the membership and corresponded to the CRA's
mission. Vice Chair Rodriguez felt the issue should be discussed during the budget
process.
Chair Taylor noted the Board's sponsorship could be approved at this meeting, and a
request could be made to the City Commission for its share.

Dear Ms. Gordon:
I have revceived your letter dated April 6, 2009 and was advised that you have
spoken to CRA staff regarding your request for an additional trolley route from
Boynton Harbor Marina to the beach.
In 2007, a trolley route was in place that ran between the Bank of America
(located on the corner of Ocean Avenue & Federal Highway) and Oceanfront
Park (located on the northeast side of Ocean Avenue and A 1 A) The ridership
was extremely low and erractic which required the route to be eliminated.
CRA staff monitors the ridership of the trolley on a monthly basis to ensure
utilization of the seNice remains an economically feasible program. We do not
anticipate adding any additonal routes to approved CRA Budget for Fiscal Years
08-09.
In August, we will be evaluating the entire Trolley Program as part of the next
year's budget cycle for Fiscal Years 09-10. We will include your letter at that
time for the Boord to consider a "Beach Trolley Route" as an expansion option.

Re: Web site posting April 17,2009
Dear Mr. Mctigue:
I received your comments posted on the CRA web site on April 17, 2009 (see attached).
With respect to the crime issues, your request has been referred to Sgt. Joseph DeGiulio
of the Boynton Beach CRA Police Unit. Sgt. DeGiulio's telephone number is 561 --742-6111.
Please contact him directly regarding criminal activity in your neighborhood and your
personal safety concerns.
In the meantime, please be assured the CRA is focusing on redevelopment efforts to
increase safety in your neighborhood. For example, we plan to demolish two vacant
homes on your block to prevent illegal activity taking place in or around those properties
I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns and providing feedback to 1)<;
on how to improve the community.

DOWNTOWN SEAFOOD MARKET OFFERS FRESH FISH, ISLAND
HOSPITALITY AND A TASTE OF LOCAL HISTORY
Boynton Beach, FL - When Chris Harris, owner of the Fish Depot, opened his doors over a year
ago, he quickly won the loyalty of Boynton Beach locals hungry for fresh seafood and friendly
conversation. Located at 1022 North Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, the building, with its'
unique tower jutting high above the roofline, is the former location of the Dutchmill, a local
landmark built in the 1920's. Updated with a new coat of paint, the soothing, shade of Caribbean
sea foam green has helped convert the look of the building to that of a lighthouse, providing
customers the illusion of walking into a quaint, seaside, Island market
Harris, who is originally from Jamaica, relocated from the Island to Lake Worth, and opened his
first store in 2000. There he became friendly with local commercial fisherman, who supply a daily
selection of fresh yellow tail snapper, spiney lobsters, clams and blue crabs. After eight years in
that location, Harris realized he needed a larger work space and moved to downtown Boynton
Beach, much to the delight of residents who wait in line to purchase Harris' famous smoked fish
dip and homemade crab cakes. As he cordially greeted customers, Harris commented. "I pride
myself in only serving local seafood, shipped in fresh, daily!" Store hours are Mon - Fri. 9:00

The focus is about addressing the social conditions of an underserved community as well as the physical
conditions. Primarily, the stakeholders from public, private, nonprofit and individuals should develop a
network to improve the capacity of the neighborhood. For instance, since March the CRA staffhas
engaged the involvement and input from the CRA Community Committee. This newly formed network
is shaping the future of unaddressed needs by order of priority throughout the District.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.

Imagine you are a 32-year-old African-American man with no high school diploma who is an ex-gang
member that has been stabbed, shot, incarcerated, and struggles daily to make ends meet. Alternatively,
imagine you are a professional engineer and a certified urban planner with multiple college degrees, and
are financially secure. Now imagine the first being one of your closest childhood friends and the second
being you. This is the reality that my friend and I live. Although our circumstances growing up were
basically the same, our lives turned out very differently. This article begins to explore some of the
possible reasons why and how planners and engineers can make a positive difference.
Urban planners and engineers continuously engage in professional activities that are aimed at improving
the quality of life of the citizens they serve. Similar to a physician, planners and engineers analyze
critical situations, derive a diagnosis, and prescribe treatments to cure society's ailments. In this sense,
planners and engineers have become very good at improving the physical environment with a long
history of place-based strategies. Plans created for communities that suffer from physical, economic,
social, and political blight are dominated by programs and policies that target improving an area's land
value, transportation system, landscaping, buildings, and housing, among other visible or tangible
things. For communities where residents are in a position to take advantage of the opportunities around
them, physical plans are often the right prescription to cure the society's aliments. However, many
underserved communities throughout the country suffer from ailments that go beyond the physical
environnlent (first tipping point) and reside in the psycho-social environment (second tipping point).
American cities that are considered to be some of the
nation's best cities were designed based on a land use or
physical plan, including those developed during the City
Beautiful era. Early plans such as those developed by
Daniel H. Burnham (Chicago), William Penn
(Philadelphia), Fred L. Olmstead (New York's Central
Park), and Pierre Charles L'Enfant (Washington D.C.)
among many others all sought to beautify the urban
landscape and provide orderly development. The results of
these plans and subsequent plans made it very clear that
adequate infrastructure (water, sewer, transportation,
housing, etc.) to accommodate the current and future
population is key to achieving successful and sustainable
cities. However, over time a disconnect between the need
for adequate infrastructure and the responsibility to address
the social problems that plague our cities has formed.

As an analogy of the importance of having adequate infrastructure, it
is similar to money, where having it is not everything, but not having
it is. Improving the physical environment in underserved communities
is essential to improving the quality of life. However, allowing plans
for underserved communities to be dominated primarily by physical
improvements is equivalent to giving a drug dealer a new suit. As a
result of the physical improvements, the drug dealer may look sharp,
but he still has the same occupation. Although, some plans have
further examined the social issues that plague underserved
communities in which planners and engineers typically work (not
live), it appears most urban planning efforts are overly focused on
improving the physical environment. To some degree, this is
... "having adequate
infrastructure is similar to
money, where having it is
not everything, but not
having it is"...
Tykus R Holloway, P.E., AIep I tykus@comcast.net

understandable as most physical improvements are visible and tangible. However,. we can no longer
afford to overlook the intangible factors that are destroying communities. This is why it is important to "
begin to focus on increasing social capital. -- )
There are many different defmitions of social capital and the associated planning paradigms, including
capacity building, human capital, and human development. Simply put, improving social capital is
providing people with the knowledge or ability to take advantage of opportunities and resources to
create desired outcomes. To accomplish this, planners and. engineers must directly address the
psychological and social problems that exist in the most challenging communities. As an example of
why I am so passionate about integrating activities that increase social capital into our physical plans,
the following describes the community in which I was raised. This example illustrates why there is more
than one tipping point within some of the underserved communities in this country.
Denver, Colorado
I was born and raised in Denver, Down/own Denver. co, 2008
Colorado, which is also known as
the Mile High City due to its
approximate elevation of one mile
above sea level. The City has an
estimated (2007) population of
588,349 and the Denver-metro area
is home to approximately 2.5 million people. Early plans developed for Denver were highly influenced
by the City Beautiful era, which is reflected in its urban design that includes grand boulevards,
interconnected civic and park spaces, and a grid street network. Denver has 79 neighborhoods varying
greatly in size, diversity, and urban design. I grew up in the northeast section of Denver in a
neighborhood named Montbello.
,
-,I
Montbello is approximately 2,600 acres in size
and was first established in 1966 shortly after
the area was annexed into the City of Denver in
1965. Due to the neighborhood's view of the
Rocky Mountains, Montbello was named after
a scenic region located in the Italian Alps,
which means beautiful mountain. One of the
first plans for Montbello included a master plan
which called for a mix of residential, civic
spaces (parks and schools), light industrial,
retail, and hotel space. During Montbello's
early years, the neighborhood was one of the
few areas where African-Americans residing in
other parts of the Denver-metro area could
move into and own property. For many people,
particularly the City's African-American population, Montbello was viewed as a place where
individuals and families could live the American dream. The neighborhood contained affordable, single-
family ranch style homes (typically ranging from 1,500 to over 3,000 square feet) with two car garages,
front and back yards, wide streets, sidewalks, neighborhood parks and schools, and a centrally located
high school.

r
Over time, many significant social and demographic
changes have taken place. The total population in
Montbello has grown from approximately 5,000 in
1970 to a current population of 30,000 residents
living in just over 8,200 residential units. During the
time that I lived in Montbello (1977-2000), the
development surrounding the community included
light industrial uses to the west, vacant unimproved
land to the east, Interstate 70 to the south, and the
Rocky Mountain Arsenal to the north (a 27-square
mile EP A Superfund site), as shown in the photo to
the right. The neighborhood included several
convenience stores, including one that was centrally
located and sold gasoline. In addition, there was also
a grocery store located just east of the eastern
boundary in a linear strip mall development that
consisted of a small doctor's office, a movie theater, and minor neighborhood oriented commercial uses.
Montbello has always contained adequate infrastructure, including well-built homes, water/sewer,
drainage, roadways, and electrical utilities, as shown in the images below. Montbello has never suffered
from severe neglect, urban decay, or the broken window syndrome. Despite this, the neighborhood is
often referred to as "Mont-ghetto" by some in Denver, which is based on their limited knowledge about
the neighborhood's physical condition, selective media coverage, and the higher number of African-
American residents.
Drainage Infrastructure ill MOil/bello. 2008
The condition of Montbello's infrastructure is significantly healthier than that seen in some of the
severely blighted cities across the country that have experienced decades of neglect. For example, the
outer city ring of Baltimore, Maryland where entire blocks have been abandoned or in Miami and Belle
Glade, Florida which suffer from a multitude of challenges, as shown in the images below.

Although MontbelIo visually appears healthier than other
cities, the neighborhood still suffers from many of the same
social conditions that are present in some of the country's
tougher cities. During Montbello's early years, the social
capital within the community was arguably high. The residents
of Montbello have always been a diverse, dignified, and proud
population. However, the neighborhood's social capital has
declined over time as described by Robert Putnam in Bowling
Alone where the country itself has "become increasingly
disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and our
democratic structures." The only difference was that as the
nation got a social cold, Montbello and similar areas got
pneumonia. The 1980s was a critical decade for Montbello. During this decade, not only did the social
fabric begin to erode, but Montbello also began to experience a noticeable influx of gangs, guns, and
drugs, specifically the rise of crack-cocaine.
As a long-time resident of Montbello, I observed my community develop what seemed to be two
personalities over time. One influenced by pride and dignity. The other influenced by a set of powerful
forces that are often extremely difficult to diagnose, which might be best explored through sociology
and psychology with a strong link to the built environment. On one hand, I grew up around people who
are some of the hardest working individuals that I have ever known, which may be counterintuitive to
those that think the people who live in "ghettos" are lazy. Many of the young and old people I know
either work in or have worked in painful manual labor jobs for the majority of their life, including some
who out of necessity are still working well into retirement age.
At the same time, I also grew up around a small number of people who seemingly had some form of a
personality disorder such as antisocial, post-traumatic stress, borderline, and even psychopathy that
caused extreme behaviors. From what I have observed, a small number of the extreme behaviors
stemmed from genetics, while most stemmed from the learned environment, and or a combination of
both. I personally know men and women who have committed crimes ranging from petty to unthinkable
of wrongs against children and murder. Thus, leading me to explore why some of our youth and young
adults in our tougher urban areas end up exemplifying disturbing behaviors, including internalizing their
place in society. Is it simply that some people are destined to fail due to their Evil Genes as discussed by
professor and author Barbara Blakely or is society itself failing our youth and young adults?
Although I am not trained as a psychologist or neurologist, I do know
through experience that some of the people I grew up around were
without a doubt exhibiting troubling psychological disorders at an early
age. For various reasons, many went undiagnosed and never received
proper treatment during critical developmental periods, which in itself
could be considered criminal. However, this does not adequately
describe the behavior of the majority of those who participated in
troubling activities. I believe the majority developed bad habits over
time as we were exposed to a complex sequence of events that
potentially influenced how we made rational or non-rational decisions.
As described by Bill Cosby, in essence people are acting abnormal
trying to be normal, which is insane. I am convinced that the people I
know acting within their "right mind" would not have chosen to live
life the way it unfolded for many of us.
... "people are acting
abnormal trying to be
nonnal, which is insane"...
Tykus R. Holloway, P.E., AICP I tykus@comcast.net
Page I 4
It is important to point out that regardless of one's socioeconomic conditions we all experience some
degree of success and failure as part of life. Although my friends and I shared many of the same life
experiences as our suburban peers (as we are all human), it was not until I went to college that I truly
realized that some of the social activities we engaged in and were exposed to in my community were not
normal or acceptable. As a result, I am determined to understand how the complex web of events that
my mends and I were exposed to influenced our lives so that I can begin to diagnosis and prescribe a
prescription to prevent the vicious cycle.
(Mo
Beyond the genes and associated behavioral traits that we were born with, the following is a list of
environmental factors that helped influence who my friends and I are today. The list is not intended to
be a complete list and focuses on the key events/issues that perhaps future plans and programs should
consider. I believe the events that my friends and I were exposed to affected our subconscious and our
decision-making abilities, which caused us to internalize our place in society. In addition, the intent is
not to further entrench those living in Montbello (including my family) by sharing negative experiences,
but to shed light on some of the conditions that many of our urban communities face that go beyond the
physical environment. Lastly, please keep in mind that the majority of people are in fact good people;
some just make bad decisions for a variety of reasons.
· Gangs - During the early 1980s, the urban challenges and social issues that plagued California,
specifically Los Angeles, began to spill over into Denver and other areas alike. The Denver-
metro area has arguably had a gang problem since this time. In Denver, Montbello is known for
its gang activity. While Montbello is no Compton, California, I did grow up around more gang
members than I care to remember who were primarily associated with subsets of the Califomia-
based street gang known as the Crips.
,. This included members of the Rollin'
\ 30's, Tre Dueces, Tre Tre's, Rollin' 60's,
Raymond, Gear Gang, Horton Boy, Tre
Five Sevens, and Life Time Gangstas
among others. These lost souls included
some of my close friends and
schoolmates. Despite the gang life being
readily accessible and active in
Montbello, I do not believe the gangs
themselves were the primary cause of the
social disarray. Many of the gangs were
formed and still exist as a means to fill
social and economic voids that are often
caused by society, including those
created at home.
· Crime and Violence - Although educators and parents alike continuously taught us Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi's simple concept of nonviolent conflict resolution, we still
engaged in illegal and deviant activities. I realize that kids across all socioeconomic spectrums
experience some level of crime and violence, such as bullying, an occasional fistfight, or even
recreational drug use. However, in Montbello the frequency and severity was too common as the
culture of fear and violence took root in our minds as if it were the norm. At times it seemed we
were simply passengers on a runaway train, falling victim to the social science phenomena
r known as the herd mentality.

The following is a list of a few things that we experienced as youth and young adults. Again, the
intent here is not to demonize an entire community, but rather to shed light on a few experiences
that no human being, much less a child, should have to endure.
- Severe gang and non-gang related fights where people were beaten until they were
unconscious, mentally and physically disabled, and even dead.
- Kids using and selling dmgs, including crack-cocaine, which probably had one of the
most devastating effects on the community and shatply increased the level of crime and
violence.
- Kids carrying guns as if it were part of their everyday attire or simply having a gun
pointed at you as a joke or as a threat. I can remember prior to playing a pick-up game of
basketball, some kids would need to remove their guns while we played and then gather
them up when we were fmished and walk off as if it were normal.
- Witnessing drive-by shootings, knowing kids who performed drive-by shootings and kids
who have shot and killed innocent bystanders, including children during drive-bys.
- Exposure to unethical and illegal treatment by law enforcement officers, which resulted
in a severe mistrust of those whose duties were to protect and serve us.
- Witnessing the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) raid neighborhood homes.
- Attending funerals for our peers, including eight young men that I knew who lost their
lives due to violence prior to becoming adults and countless others who have been shot or
stabbed.
- Waking up to the sounds of gunshots and police sirens or the sound of police helicopters
searching for suspects with a spotlight.
.
Incarceration - Gang affiliations and various criminal activities have resulted in the
incarceration of many friends and classmates. The duration of their incarceration ranges from a
few days to life in prison. As I write this, I am able to go online to the Colorado Department of
Corrections website and view at least 50 men and women that I grew up with who are currently
incarcerated, including some I knew well. Others that have been previously discharged have had
varying degrees of success integrating back into society. Their success ranges from being able to
hold menial jobs to becoming very successful entrepreneurs. Sadly for many, the mental trauma
of prison life has made it very difficult to integrate back into society. Some have even expressed
to me that they feel more comfortable in prison than they do in society.
.
School System - Montbello High School
traditionally ranks as one of the worst
academic high schools in the Denver area,
but of course produces some of the best
athletes. Around the time I was in middle
school at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle
School, it made national news because of
students' severe behavioral problems.
Again, many different factors (funding,
teachers, students, parents, etc.) have
contributed to the conditions within the
schools in Montbello. For example, a simple concept such as reading and writing is fundamental
was not something widely embraced by students despite this being highly encouraged by
teachers and elders. Conversely, we had a saying that "if you went to class, you were dumb." For

those who desired to learn (most kids), they had to constantly deal with classroom disruptions
that were caused by a few kids with behavioral problems and learning disabilities. In addition,
due to the popularity of misbehaving, I believe it also caused even more students to participate in
disruptive classroom activities further entrenching ourselves. The level of our academic
achievement became clear once I was in college where I quickly realized that I was significantly
behind my suburban peers. In 2000, the US Census estimated only one in five people living in
Montbello received an associate degree or higher. Ironically, people like me who received
multiple degrees have since left the area and never returned, reducing the overall level of
education in the neighborhood among other socioeconomic indicators.
( ~
· Role Models and Leadership -
It can be argued that there are
not enough positive role models
in underserved communities.
We were not exposed to
professionals outside of a
limited few we may have
encountered at home or school.
There were many professions
that we knew little about, such
....;. ... .-. "-
as engineers, who we thought MonthelJoRi h School FoothQlrTe~~
just rode in train cabooses. Most of the role models we were exposed to were professional
athletes and entertainers that we either saw on television or those who came to speak to us about
striving to achieve better in life and stopping the violence. Although sports were one of the
primary outlets, our focus on it may have compounded the challenges we faced because not
everyone had the fmancial means or athletic ability to play sports. Oddly, I did know a few
people who had great leadership and entrepreneurial skills; however, they were those who led
gangs or ran illegal enterprises. Although the role models within one's home are extremely
important, I knew a few people who still ended up in a gang despite being raised in a two-parent
household or single parent household where the mother and/or father truly cared about their
success.
· Self-Esteem - My friends and I are proud of our heritage and even proud to have been raised in
Montbello. There were several annual community events held to celebrate our heritage and build
neighborhood pride and unity, including the celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. and
Juneteenth. In some sense, there was a mystique associated with being from Montbello. However
at the same time, we always remained cautious about telling some people where we were from so
that we were not treated unequal because of our racial background and where we were lived. I
believe these conflicting views and other more complex factors led us to internalize feelings of
inferiority. At times it seemed as if both those within and outside the community were constantly
bombarding us with negativity. As a result, we believed we were nothing more than the
underclass of society.
( ~
· Economics - Although most people in Montbello are far from being poor when compared to
others throughout the U.S. or even the world, the ability of Montbello's residents to connect to
meaningful economic opportunities has highly influenced the lives of Montbello residents. The
ability to connect with economic opportunities highly depends on three primary factors: 1) the
physical ability to connect through transportation or technology, 2) the ability of residents to
achieve competitive levels of education and job skills, and 3) the availably of jobs, including the
Tykus R. Holloway, P .E., AICP I tykus@comcast.net
Page I 7
equal opportunity for employment. Some may argue that the disenfranchisement we experienced
was self-imposed (internalization, self-esteem, etc.), which in part may be true. However, there is
no doubt that the actual lack of economic opportunity and/or access to opportunity in Montbello
has had a negative generational impact on the community.
How does this relate to what Planners and Engineers do for a living?
Urban planners and engineers provide a wide range of professional services that includes developing
plans and implementing programs which are aimed at improving the quality of life of the citizens.
Although some federal, state, and even local programs seek to address the very issue of social capital or
capacity building, these programs are typically limited in scope and are often disconnected from the
planning and engineering efforts that occur at the local level. As a result, most successful redevelopment
plans for underserved communities typically only increase the physical and fmancial capital of the area
(land values) and not the second tipping point (social capital) leaving people like my family and friends
to fend for ourselves.
Some skeptics argue the issues I have presented here should be addressed by law
enforcement, physicians, and social workers, among others. While those in the
medical, legal, and social science professions are very much part of the solution, I
believe planners and engineers are responsible for creating the framework for which
other professions operate. For example, Denver's Metro Vision 2030 Plan,
Comprehensive Plan 2000, Blueprint Denver, and other public plans are aimed at
guiding the city into the future, protecting and enhancing the quality of life, and
responding to challenges that are presented to residents of Denver.

Understanding and addressing the social conditions that exist in underserved t ..1 ~!.
communities is an extremely difficult task. Therefore, as planners and engineers create a comprehensive
plan, neighborhood plan, master plan, etc., an analysis of the social conditions must be performed
concurrently to identify the challenges that residents face locally. This will in turn provide the critical
information needed to plan the necessary physical and social improvements to enhance the quality of life
of residents. As part of this process, the key stakeholders (public, private, philanthropic/non-profits, and
individuals) should be identified to form a network-"a net that works"-that can build the physical and
social capacity in the neighborhood.
Others believe the primary responsibility for social change lies within each of us to
uphold our duties as citizens. I agree, we must not allow others to determine our
own destiny, similar to the saying, "pull yourself up by your bootstraps."
However, we must remember there is a difference between theory and reality.
Every day at my job, I approach planning using theory, but recognize the reality
that my friends and I lived in Montbello. If we do not understand the social
conditions within the communities we work, we cannot effectively create a plan to
improve the quality of life of the residents. While all citizens have a moral
responsibility to better themselves, it does not mean that we should not provide
adequate facilities, plans, and programs for those in our underserved communities.

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 st which was held at the Carolyn Sims Center.
. At the March 31 st 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 April 13th. (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 st 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.
T:\AGENDAS, CONSENT AGENDAS, MONTHLY REPORTS\Completed Agenda Item Request Forms by Meeting\FY 2008 - 2009 Board
Meetings\5-12-09 Meeting\HOB Strategies.doc
The Committee felt that while the EZ Man was a nuisance property, a counter offer should n
made by the Board that was more in line with values in the area. They also felt that by
removing the properties on NW loti Avenue. that many of the problems at the EZ Mart wouh
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 ofthese properties it would greatly reduce the [ocal
convenience store loitering problem.
2. Code Enforcement/Nei!!hborhood Issues Hotline - The Committee felt that the communit)
could assist redevelopment efforts if a hotline was established and marketed to the communit)
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 pas~
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-up - The Committee felt that the continual dumping of debris on vacant lots and lJ1
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 Policin!! - 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 measure~
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

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. 1m Drove the Exterior and Interior of Existinl! Businesses - The CRA's Commercial
Fa'ilade 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 Business and Property 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 Improvement Prol!ram 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 of the 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 Ownership - Combine ownership of the CRA and City properties along MLK
2. Property Acauisition - Continue opportunity buys when they are adjacent to parcels already owned, the
selling price is comparable to appraised value and funds are available.
3. Grocerv CO-OD - Explore the possibility of the creation of a co-op in Phase I. This is also an economic
development initiative.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Boarc
Boynton Beach, Florida
March 10, 2009
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, objected to Vice Chair Rodriguez doing something
otner than viewing the Community Redevelopment Agenc\I 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.

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.m.
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 Aubum 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 Aubum 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; that staff be directed to immediately hold a community meeting with the
property owners of the Heart of Boynton; 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 brano new contract, but he
was not sure the contract coincided with the RFP that was issueD Tnev could not
develop Phase Ii unless they developed a grocery store and they 00 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 haa no exhibits to the contract and the schedUle TOr tne development
was subiect to change He agreed with the motion
Cito Berguistrain, Auburn Development, thanked the Communltv 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 public/private 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 jf 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

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

Chair Taylor closed the floor to publiC heanng.
Chair Taylor agreed with Mr Hay s motion With regard to the third party tlnanCIE-
verification, Chair Taylor clarified Auburn originally agreed to pay $14,000, but thev die
not like the party. They got another party at $70,000, and Auburn agreed to pay up F
$15,000 after an agreement was signed. So far, the Board spent $17 million in the Hear
of Boynton. The Community Redevelopment Agency, the City and the developer stll
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 de
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 witrl
Auburn.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
March 10,2009
Vot€
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.

3 City owned lots (omcery store location)
1. Sherry Johnson commented that using the lots to expand neighborhood talent
would be a good utilization of the property. ror example, expand Mr. Robert s
business to add a market and some type of seating for diners.
2. A "local" market rather tllan 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 commen led 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 101h
and Seacrest that were not be used sufficiently so why do another one?
Crime HilS 1~_QLlI.(~I,_IJiU 'f :1()f\lliL~.
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 10'h?
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.

COMMUNITY COMMITTEE MEETIN.,:
QUESTIONS/COMMENTS
Dr. Marth Meeks-Light Memo
Dr. Martha Meeks-Light had a memo that was addressed bv 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 Housing
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 lOth 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 Y2 going to the Sara Sims Park and the other 1,12 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.
Lighting
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 at all the current alleys was handed our 10 011 attendees
i 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. Keturoh 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 Residentiallmprovemen-
Program (RIP) which has already fulfilled $500,000 in grant money tc
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

SUBJECT: Consideration of Designating the CRA a Brownfield
SUMMARY:
. A brownfield is an area of real property which is considered difficult to redevelop or reuse
because of actual or perceived environmental contamination.
. There are numerous properties that have been discovered to be environmentally contaminated
due to old uses such as gas stations, printers and dry cleaners. Examples are the Gulfstream
Lumber site (now Las Ventanas) and the Gulfstream Mall. Both sites had to be cleaned up at a
significant cost to the property owners.
. The brownfield designation does not imply that every property within a designated area is
actually environmentally contaminated, just as a community redevelopment area designation
does not mean that each property within it is blighted.
. The designation will not require property owners of potentially contaminated properties to clean
up their properties.
. The designation will allow owners or buyers of such sites to access financial incentives to clean
and redevelop the property.
. There are financial incentives for job creation within a brownfield.
. The brownfield designation would create another source of development incentives in addition to
current CRA incentives. Examples of incentives associated with a brownfield designation are as
follows:
. Refund of sales tax on building materials for mixed-use projects that include affordable
housing.
. Job bonus credits up to $2,000 per job
. Tax Credits for clean-up activities (see chart below)

· More than ever, developers are seeking public assistance with their projects given the difficulty
of developing under current market conditions.
· The creation of additional incentives to add to the eRA's existing incentive programs will enable
staffto assist developers to make their projects financially feasible.
· Based on comments from the public, staff is recommending that properties with the land use
designations of commercial and industrial be considered for designation as a brownfield.
· Additionally due to the cost of developing residential in the Heart of Boynton planning area, staff
is asking the Board to consider designating the 480 acres of HOB a brownfield. The refund of
sales tax on building materials will help keep housing costs down thus reducing the sales price of
new homes.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of notification of property owners within the proposed area and the
public notice requirements.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Direct staff to begin work on maps and a proposed resolution to bring
back to the Board for approval.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Property Exchange between the CRA and City
SUMMARY: In 2005 the City and CRA were in the process of acquiring property in the MLK - Seacrest
area for implementation of the Heart of Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Plan. At that time, the intent
was that the City would give its property on MLK to the CRA for a redevelopment project and the CRA would
give its property on the west side of Seacrest for an expansion of Sara Sims Park and for the development of a
single-family block at MLK and 11th Avenue.
The attached sheet indicates the City owned properties in pink and the CRA owned properties in green.
The contribution of the CRA properties to the City labeled 17 on the attached sheet will allow the City to add to
its inventory on the block ofMLK and NW 11th Avenue. The contribution ofthe CRA properties labeled
numbers 16 and 18 on the sheet will allow the City to meet the Palm Beach County deed restriction on one of its
MLK lots by adding land to Sara Sims Park.
The contribution of the City owned properties to the CRA labeled as 2, 3 and 5 on the sheet will help to create
more significant redevelopment parcels that will have greater impact on the MLK corridor.
The City paid $20 for parcels 2,3 and 5. The CRA paid $439,925 for parcels 16, 17 and 18.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: Heart of Boynton Community Redevelopment Plan
OPTIONS:
Exchange the CRA and City properties as discussed above.

These properties are your competition. A potential purchaser will compare your home to homes similar to these when trying to decide which to buy. Take a
look at these homes, If only on paper. Try to be objective and ask yourself, .Which home Is the best valuer Is it yoursr If not, these other homes may sell
before yours. But don't forget that the .List Prices. of these homes represent what the sellers WANT for their home, not necessarily what they are really
going to get If they sell their home. So when settlng the price of your home, don't simply look at the LIST PRICE of the other comparable homes, look at the
SALE PRICE of comparable homes to yours that actually SOlD!

General Facts About Pricing...
There are certain factors that are within our control and some factors beyond our control
when it comes to setting the price, Those factors within our control are: the appearance of the
property, how aggressively we market the property and the price, Factors outside our control
are: location of property, size and local amenities, It's important to accept those factors that
are beyond our control and focus on the pricing and preparation.
A property priced at market value will attract more buyers than a home priced above market
value. Consider that a competitively priced property will also attract a greater number of
potential buyers and increase your opportunity for a quick sale,

SUBJECT: Update on the status and marketing ofthe CRA's Alcoholic Beverage License.
SUMMARY: On July 22, 2008, the CRA purchased the adult entertainment and liquor licenses from the
owners of Platinum Gold at 3675 S. Federal Highway. The intent of the purchase was to remove a nuisance
business and to prevent a similar business from reopening on the same site.
At the regular meeting held on January 13, 2009, the CRA Board approved the listing agreement engaging
services of the Prakas Group for the sale of the license. The listing price is $110,000 for the term expiring on
June 1,2009. The licensed has been aggressively marketed by the Prakas Group via website (see attached list) as
well as through the business relationships and networking events.
To date, the CRA has not received a written or verbal offer to purchase the license. Mr. Prakas has discussed the
economic market realities being a major hindrance to potential investor/buyers of these types of licenses.
Additionally, he feels that the current market is in contradiction to investors wanting to open new niteclubs or
pubs for whom the agency's 4COP license is applicable. In light of the decline in the sales market, it is presumed
that the resale value of the license has decreased. According to Mr. Prakas, the market value of the license is
now in the $70-90,000 range.
The liquor license is scheduled to expire from "inactive escrow status" on June 16, 2009. Staff has contacted
PBC Division of Alcoholic Beverage & Tobacco office which has indicated a hardship extension would most
likely be granted to the CRA if an extension was sought by the agency.
FISCAL IMPACT: If sold, the CRA may realize $70,000 - $110,000 for the license less the broker fee.
CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment
Plan
OPTIONS: The eRA Board may want to consider one of the following options:
Renew the Listing Agreement with the Prakas Group for an additional three month period
at the same or a lower sales price.
At Listing Agreement expiration, utilize the listing services of the second ranked Broker
for a period of three months at the same or lower sales price.
At Listing Agreement expiration, place the license for sale through an open Bid/RFP
process without the use of a Broker.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Purchasing the EZ Mart at 111 NE 9th Ave.
SUMMARY: In 2001, the adoption of the Heart of Boynton Community Redevelopment Plan
identified problem businesses that would need to be removed in order to improve the overall community
appearance as well as address public safety concerns.
The EZ Mart is located on Seacrest Boulevard adjacent to the Sara Sims Community Park. The lighting
in the surrounding area is poor and lends itself to loitering in, on and around the property. The BBPD
and CRA Police statistically spend a considerable amount of time handling calls related to illegal
activities occurring on this property.
Mr. Ghali, the owner had negotiated a purchase price with Intown Partners and most recently with
Auburn Development. However, contracts were never executed. Mr. Ghali has presented an offer to the
CRA to purchase the property and the business in the amount of$1.3M (See attached). Mr. Ghali has
not signed the Purchase Agreement.
The CRA has conducted an independent certified appraisal for the land only. The land is valued at
$300,000. Determining the value of the business will be difficult given that the majority of transactions
are done in cash and may not be fully reflected in the financial records.
In 2008 when the CRA purchased the Adult Entertainment License and Liquor License from Platinum
Gold the CRA had to use a business valuation process that involved estimating the value of the business
using the sales price of similar businesses because Platinum Gold did not have or would not share their
financial records.
The potential purchase ofthe EZ Mart supports the CRA's statutory mission of eliminating slum and
blight to prevent further deterioration of communities and neighborhoods.
FISCAL IMPACT: Up to $1,300,000 from Development 02-582-00

RECOMMENDA TIONS: The Roara ma\' want to consider the following option
1. Approve the purchase contract as presented for the purchase of the land and business locateu '
111 NE 9th Avenue. However. this action would take up the bulk of the funds in the MLK PnlJec
line item.
2. Present a counter offer at the appraised value of $300,000 to Mr. Ghali. The appraised value oi
the land is included in the HOB Strategies Acquisition of Nuisance Properties. This is the
recommendation of the Community Committee.
3. Conduct a business valuation estimate based on similar businesses and based on the result
present a counter offer to Mr. Ghali.
4. Elect not to purchase the property.

HEART OF BOYNTON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
ISSUES NOT BEING ADDRESSED
By: Dr Martha Meeks-Light
April 30, 2009
These are some of the key issues that are not being addressed in the Heart of
Boynton Community. The CRA has been in existence for almost 30 years,
and the HOB is still as underserved as much as it was then, maybe served
even less.
Some of the content of this report involves the HOB Redevelopment Plan
dated November I, 200 I, and the lack of response by the CRA to put in
motion these strategies to redevelop their boundary. The HOB also has
listed solutions to present day problems that currently exist in the CRA now.
*************************************************************
1) The people of this community want to see more diversity in the CRA staff
as there are no African Americans employed in the CRA office, and this is a
liability when dealing with the needs of a community that is largely African
American.
2) No more CRA meetings unless brainstorming and then action is done with
regards to solving the problems this community faces daily. This community
needs an action plan from the CRA board and staff, and their commitment to
follow thru on it. .
3) The CRA to discontinue purchasing land for the CRA' s own financial
gains and not the community's. CRA funds should be put forth for what the
intended use should be; improving the living conditions in the CRA Boundary.
4) To receive training on how to obtain grants and/or low interest loans so
citizens can become small business owners in our own community and to inspire
future entrepreneurs locally and also to provide funding for a primary care facility
in the area. Further information on grants is provided on pages 88 & 89 in the
HOB Redevelopment Plan handbook.
5) Budgeted funds that go to the CRA should be allocated to beautify &
provide up keep to the HOB community. We also want buildings maintained like
any other City property. Examples of this would be painting, landscaping,
HEART OF BOYNTON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN ISSUES NOT BEING ADDRESSED
erecting sidewalks and everyday mamtenance to properties. The empty lot~
cemetery, and parks need to be maintamed as well
6, Access to one of the buildmgs that the eRA owns and make it a job
training site for the people in the HOB communit\
7) To be provided with a list of economIC development plans and all the rules
and regulations that apply to the financing of this type of project, as page 92 in the
HOB Community Redevelopment Plan handbook describes.
8) The eRA to furnish the HOB with information concerning revenue bonds
that can be used for improving our HOB business district.
9) Information on how to create jobs thru Micro Enterprise (workshops).
10) Economic development training as listed on page 81 (workshop).
11) More information on the streetscape for Sea crest & MLK Blvd.
12) Action needs to being taken by the eRA for the HOB to be redeveloped,
and that seems to be what the problem has been, a lack of action being taken by
the CRA to commit to improving this area. The HOB is ready to move forward
and is tired of idle talk that produces no results. The HOB wants to make this plan
happen NOW!
It would also show the CRA' s involvement with this community if they could
provide transportation to the citizen's of the HOB so they can get a hands on
experience of other area's that have been improved, such as Delray and other
blighted areas that have been turned around to show redevelopment can and has
been done. An example would be the Vision Report that began in 1996 and was
completed in 1996.
There are many concerns for the people who live in the HOB. But many issues
have been prolonged for too long, such as the 2001 HOB Redevelopment Plan. In
eight years only 6 of the 20 properties have been purchased that are needed for this
plan to go forward, thus another stalled project. As with all the others, this plan is
going no-where. At this rate, nothing will ever be accomplished for this
underserved community.
HEART OF BOYNTON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN ISSUES NOT BEING ADDRESSED
Here are some of the questions that remain to be addressed:
I) Can the CRA meet any of their expectations, if they indeed have
any? For example, using CRA funds to be allocated to improve the
community within the next 3 years for the blighted areas?
2) We need sidewalks on all main streets; one of many examples would
be 6th Ave to Seacrest.
3) We need to further develop and maintain the few existing businesses
that already operate on I oth Ave and Cherry Hills. Sara Sims Park is in
dyer need of repairs and replacement of dilapidated equipment, canopies,
benches, water fountains, bathroom facilities, light & ground work as the
park has been neglected due to its location.
4) The vacant lots need to be monitored for ground upkeep and be clear
of garbage and overgrown foliage. Owners of houses that have fallen into
disrepair due to economic hardship should receive relief and assistance so
their homes can be fixed up and families can live in them. This is where the
CRA can make real improvements by either paying for repairs and/or
assisting the owner with a hardship loan application/grant for
redevelopment. A lot of the cleanup that is done in the area is done by the
good heartedness of volunteers. But the construction that needs to be done
for new or existing buildings will provide employment for local
contractors, thus creating jobs while the community is being improved.
5) Lighting is another serious issue, or the lack there of. Many of the
neighborhoods in the HOB and surrounding areas have no street lights.
Lighted areas are less susceptible to crime, studies have shown. There is a
vast need for foot patrol officers and bicycle policemen/women in the CRA
boundary also.
6) What should be reviewed with concerned citizens with the CRA is the
list of targeted goals the CRA had planned for the last eight years, and
what they have produced in that time to make those goals a reality. Please
refer to page 77 & 78 of the HOB Community Redevelopment Plan
handbook to see what goals the CRA had and the time frame they were
saying they would achieve them. It would seem the CRA never even
attempted to meet many if any of these goals. CRA owned buildings remain
boarded up and are an eyesore to this day. The only properties that are
improved upon are individual parcels that are sold to a developer by the
city. The developer then demolishes the old house and builds a new one to
sell. Small ticket items are money made by the City; so the CRA is putting
little if nothing back into the community.

The U.S, Equal Employment Opportunity Commlssli
Race/Color Discrimination
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects individuals against employment
discrimination on the bases of race and color, as well as national origin, sex, and
religion. Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state
and local governments. It also applies to employment aaencies and to labor
organizations, as well as to the federal governmen
Equal employment opportunity cannot be denied any person because of his/her
racial group or perceived racial group, his/her race-linked characteristics (e.g. f
hair texture, color, facial features), or because of his/her marriage to or
association with someone of a particular race or color. Title VII also prohibits
employment decisions based on stereotypes and assumptions about abilities,
traits, or the performance of individuals of certain racial groups. Title VII's
prohibitions apply regardless of whether the discrimination is directed at Whites,
Blacks, Asians, Latinos, Arabs, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific
Islandersr multi-racial individuals, or persons of any other race, color, or ethnicity
It is unlawful to discriminate against any individual in regard to recruiting, hiring
and promotion, transfer, work assignments, performance measurements, the
work environment, job training, discipline and discharge, wages and benefits, or
any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. Title VII prohibits not only
intentional discrimination, but also neutral job policies that disproportionately
affect persons of a certain race or color and that are not related to the job and the
needs of the business. Employers should adopt "best practices" to reduce the
likelihood of discrimination and to address impediments to equal employment
opportunity,
Title VII's protections include:
. Recruiting, Hiring, and Advancement
Job requirements must be uniformly and consistently applied to persons of
all races and colors. Even if a job requirement is applied consistently, if it is
not important for job performance or business needs, the requirement may
be found unlawful if it excludes persons of a certain racial group or color
significantly more than others, Examples of potentially unlawful practices
include: (1) soliciting applications only from sources in which all or most
potential workers are of the same race or color; (2) requiring applicants to
have a certain educational background that is not important for job
performance or business needs; (3) testing applicants for knowledge, skills
or abilities that are not important for job performance or business needs.

and members of particular racial groups are excluded from employment, the inquiries can constitute evidence of
discriminatior"
. Harassment/ Hostile Work Environment
Title VII prohibits offensive conduct, such as racial or ethnic slurs, racial "jokes," derogatory comments, or other
verbal or physical conduct based on an individual's race/color. The conduct has to be unwelcome and offensive,
and has to be severe or pervasive. Employers are required to take appropriate steps to prevent and correct
unlawful harassment. Likewise, employees are responSible for reporting harassment at an early stage to
prevent its escalation,
. Compensation and Other Employment Terms, Conditions, and Privileges
Title VII prohibits discrimination in compensation and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.
Thus, race or color discrimination may not be the basis for differences in payor benefits, work assignments,
performance evaluations, training, discipline or discharge, or any other area of employment.
. Segregation and Classification of Employees
Title VII is violated where employees who belong to a protected group are segregated by physically isolating
them from other employees or from customer contact. In addition, employers may not assign employees
according to race or color. For example, Title VII prohibits assigning primarily African-Americans to
predominantly African-American establishments or geographic areas. It is also illegal to exclude members of
one group from particular positions or to group or categorize employees or jobs so that certain jobs are
generally held by members of a certain protected group. Coding applications/resumes to designate an
applicant's race, by either an employer or employment agency, constitutes evidence of discrimination where
people of a certain race or color are excluded from employment or from certain positions.
. Retaliation
Employees have a right to be free from retaliation for their opposition to discrimination or their participation in
an EEOC proceeding by filing a charge, testifying, assisting, or otherwise participating in an agency proceeding.

In fiscal year 2008, EEOC received 33,937 charges of race discrimination. EEOC resolved 28,321 race charges in FY
2008, and recovered $79.3 million in monetary benefits for charging parties and other aggrieved individuals (not
including monetary benefits obtained through litigation).

Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, Florida

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.rn.
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; that staff be directed to immediately hold a community meeting with the
property owners of the Heart of Boynton; 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.

The CRA District is comprised of 1650 acres and is geographically one of
the largest CRA's of the 141 throughout the State of Florida. The Heart of
Boynton Redevelopment Plan is one of several redevelopment plans being
implemented by the eRA (see below). The HOB Redevelopment focuses on
480 acres in the northwest section of the CRA and is approximately one
third (1/3) of the entire CRA area.
The following redevelopment plans direct agency activities and dollars:
1.) 1983 CRA Redevelopment Plan
2.) 2001 & 2006 Federal Highway Corridor Plan
3.) 2001 Heart of Boynton Redevelopment Plan
4.) 2004 Ocean District Plan
5.) 2006 Boynton Beach Boulevard Plan
6.) 2009 Downtown Master Plan

designed by the same architect, which ensured a cohesive desl~m between the two
elements.
Outdoor seating tor the restaurants and second and third-story terraces all face toward and
overlook the plaza's staging area, where performances have attracted crowds of over
10,000 people
This approach could be used by the City of Boynton Beach throughout the CRA including
the southeast quadrant of the Heart of Boynton.
Preservation Easements
Building owners might agree that a building's exterior physical features will not be changed
to preserve its historical or architectural importance. Cities might convey buildings to
developers under an agreement that the developer donate the exterior to the community
while renovating the interior for income-producing uses. The effect is a reduction in front-
end costs through the tax savings generated by the charitable contribution. Cities also
covenant with developers to make no changes to any part of a building, interior or exterior,
with this loss in value representing a charitable contribution that can qualify as a tax
deduction for the acquiring developer,
This approach is probably not needed within the Heart of Boynton has few if any buildings
of this type are present.
Local Tax Incentives
Cities can legislate local historic districts or establish enterprise and foreign trade zones,
covering parts of a redevelopment area. These mechanisms permit developers and/or their
tenants to generate additional tax savings.
When the city of Athens, Georgia wanted to develop a mixed-use project linking the
downtown and the University of Georgia, it engaged a multidisciplinary team to formulate a
strategy for development and implementation. The identified project included a civic
center, retail space, parking hotel and a condominium development. The project was
funded in part by $20 million from local-option sales tax revenues.
The tax was approved by a vast majority of area residents based upon the documentation
of a significant portion of sales tax receipts generated by university students and the
surrounding rural counties. Additional funding was provided by federal grants, local
matching funds and private debt and equity. The civic center is now undergoing financial
design and development.

Other Indirect Measures
Other measures can save costs in public/private ventures, including the public sectors
assuming some or all of the responsibility for preparing environmental impact statements or
reports, arbitrating or otherwise settling disputes involving equal opportunity, minority
contract and affirmative action, instituting a crime prevention program in a declining are2
targeted for revitalization, providing cheaper energy by integrating community energy
systems into its redevelopment plan, acting as a liaison and information source for local
neighborhood groups, surrounding property owners, merchants' associations, and others
who have opinions regarding aspects of the proposed project and selling the
redevelopment area through a regular and carefully directed public affairs program. Many
of these items should already be part of the CRA's redevelop planning process.
Direct Measures
Direct financial involvement in public/private ventures can come from many sources and
can take many forms. Sources include federal and local funds described below.
Federal Sources
Though federal funding for redevelopment has been cut and though it still comes with
complicated wage requirements, federal moneys do still exist. The cortisone of dilapidated
downtowns, HUD's Urban Development Action Grant has been eliminated, but repayments
of UDAGs can be used. Community Development Block Grants, as well as money from the
Economic Development Administration (EDA), The Farmers Home Administration (FHmA)
and the Small Business Administration (SBA) are still available, in some instances wide
open for feasible projects.
EDA Grants and Loan Guarantees. Most EDA grants are used in conjunction with other
local, state or federal moneys for rehabilitating or constructing infrastructure and public
works facilities as part of industrial or commercial development. EDA's two categories of
grants include public works grants (for example, water, sewer and road improvements),
which typically cover 50 percent of a project's costs, and economic adjustment grants for
areas experiencing long-term or sudden, severe loss of jobs. Economic adjustment grants
can cover up to 75 percent of a project's costs and can be used to fund, for example,
incubator facilities or low-income housing projects. EDA funding is targeted to "highly
distressed" locations and in about 65 to 75 percent of the cases, to rural areas.
Reuse of UDAG Loan Repayments. Communities fortunate enough to have received the
now terminated UDAGs are using the repayments from the earlier investments.
Discounting or capitalizing the income stream form development loans financed with
UDAGs is an excellent way to generate current cash, which may be reinvested in a second
wave of redevelopment.

Executive Summary
Economic development is defined as the process of creating wealth through the mobilization of
human fltlancial., capital, physical and natural resources to generate marketable goods and
services for the benefit of the community while expanding lob opportunities and the tax base
In order to maintain, expand and diversify the economic base an economic plan has been
developed that identifies the challenges facing Boynton Beach's Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) and the City of Boynton Beach along with opportunities for future economic
growth. By strategically planning economic development activities today, resources can be
allocated to be best utilized to overcome challenges and to capitalize on current and future
opportunities
Over the past few years, significant redevelopment has occurred within the Boynton Beach
CRA's boundaries; however, along with redevelopment came a softening of the real estate
market fueled in large part by the subprime mortgage crisis, This in turn caused a subsequent
decrease in the tax base. Recent figures indicate an 8.5% decrease in the city-wide tax base for
2008. Besides a soft real estate market, other economic challenges include, but are not limited
to:
1. Relatively low level of wages for the area's workforce
2. Limited supply of available industrial land
3. National financial crisis with tightened lending requirements restricting the flow of
much needed capital to small businesses and consumers, The crisis has contributed to
increased vacancy rates across all of the major markets, including retail, industrial, and
office markets of Palm Beach County and Boynton Beach
4. Increase in unemployment
5. Local government budget cuts
6. Increase in petroleum prices to record levels inflating prices of much needed goods and
services, including food
7. Antiquated housing base within the CRA
8. Weak U.S. dollar resulting in high supply costs and higher prices for residents and local
businesses
9. Weather conditions - threat of hurricanes and other natural disasters
2 I F' 2 ~ E:
Despite to day's challenges, many opportunities exist and significant developments are moving
forward within the CRA. Large mixed-use developments along Federal Highway in the heart of
the downtown area are in the process of being completed, both rental and homeownership
projects. Numerous single family homes targeted towards the City's current and future
workforce will be completed in the near future. Large residential developments in the Heart of
Boynton Beach are moving forward. All these developments aid in:
1. Increasing the tax base while helping to offset an aging housing base within the CRA
2. Provide new urban housing opportunities for the City's residents and its workforce and
3. Provide opportunities for business owners to startup or relocate to Boynton Beach.
Other future opportunities include, but are not limited to:
1. Available land and commercial space for redevelopment, including a marina and
waterfront property within the eRA
2. Ability to redevelopment existing industrial land and to preserve it
3. Low inventory of office space as compared to other local markets
4. Record low interest rates
5. Other housing and mixed-use developments in the planning process
6. A diversifying population base
7. Strategic and central location
8. Possibility to capture future demand in industrial space due to the widening of the
Panama Canal allowing Florida to now become the closest port for select exporting
nations
9. Weak dollar allowing exporters of goods and services to be more competitive in the
global market place. Also, a weak dollar attracts further tourism dollars from outside
the U.S.
10. Weather conditions - year round climate continues to attract new residents and tourists
This economic development plan will identify where the City and CRA are today in terms of its
economic base and will help guide the CRA in its efforts to successfully continue
redevelopment. Specific goals are the redevelopment of the downtown commercial corridor,
3 IPage
the increase in the quality of life for its residents through increases in annual wages, lob am
small business ownership opportunities and access to needed goods and service: ThiS plar
identifies the vision, resources, partnerships, and planned activities of the eRA to accomolisr
these goals.

Economic Profile
Population
Since 1990, the population within the City has increased by approximately 48% from 48,137 to
67,9081. Despite past years of record growth, migration from outside the County has
experienced a significant recent decrease. In 2007, the population within the County grew by
only 99 individuals2. Emphasis on one year's growth must be taken in context in historical
patterns; however, the overall economy in terms of the rapid increase in housing prices during
the recent housing boom, high insurance costs, relatively low wages, and perhaps recent
hurricanes have played a part in the stalled migration of individuals from outside the County.
Historically, approximately 418,000 migrated to Florida during 2002-20063. Future population
growth from 2007-2010 is expected to be half of that or approximately 209,000 people
annually arriving in Florida3. According to Stan Smith, Director of the University of Florida's
Bureau of Economic and Business Research, "A tremendous slowdown is forecasted over the
next few years compared to what we've experienced during the last five years. The state has
not experienced a decline of this magnitude since the mid-'70s, when we were in a national
recession ."
A contributing factor to the recent slow down in population growth is the slowdown in the
housing market. The ability to relocate for most households is based upon the ability to sell an
existing home.
Conclusion: Population growth will primarily depend upon future job opportunities attracting
workers from both within the County, from other areas of Florida and from outside the state.
The level of property taxes, cost of homeowners insurance, overall cost of living, and other
quality of life factors such as climate will also play a large role in the decision process of
whether or not to relocate to the area.
Race and Ethnicity
A trend is occurring in which the number of non-Hispanic whites moving into the state of
Florida and into Palm Beach County is declining. At the same time, an estimated 9,000 non-

households" the area is experiencing a larger influx of Hispanic and black/Atrlcan .Amencans as c'
percentage of the total net migration into the Countyl.

Conclusion: The population within the City is becoming more diversified. As the level of
diversification increases, so will the opportunities for small businesses catering to those specific
ethnic populations.
Education Level
Between 1990 and 2004, the level of achieved education has improved within Boynton Beach
Today, of the population 25 years and older (approximately 44,000 individuals), 22.5% have had
some college training, 8.3% earned an associate degree, 14% earned a bachelor's degree, and
9% earned a graduate or professional degree, Overall, 88.9% have a high school diploma or
equivalent and 23.1% have a bachelor's degree or higher1.

Conclusion: The employment base has become more diversified and as a result more hirable
than in the past; however, the City still lags behind neighboring municipalities. The CRA should
help link residents to job training opportunities while continuously recruiting businesses to
provide additional local employment opportunities. Job training opportunities include linking
residents to programs offered through Florida Atlantic University, Palm Beach Community
College, and other vocational/trade schools. Incentive programs could be created for small
businesses to help offset the costs of the ongoing training of their employees needed to remain
r current or assist in bringing employees current with existing technology and trends.
Age
The median age within the City has declined from 42.5 in 1990 to 41.8 in 2000 to 38.5 in 20061,

Conclusion: This is typical of a younger population moving to Florida seeking job opportunities
Also, retail and other service employment is tYPlcal/lJ compnsed of a younger workforce. While
the median age has declined, there exists a large segment of elderly households within the eRA
Current and future opportunities exist for businesses catering to this population
Labor Force
The current number employed within the West Palm Beach- Boca Raton Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA) excluding agricultural employment is estimated to be approximately
563,560 individuals. The labor force within the City is estimated to be approximately 34,986
For the population 16 and older and within the City's labor force, the leading nonagricultural
employment opportunities came from education services, health care and social assistance
(23%) followed by retail trade (16%)1,

Among the most common occupations were:
. Management, professionat and related occupations, 34%;
. Sales and office occupations, 30%;
. Service occupations, 21%;
. Construction, extraction, maintenance and repair occupations, 9%; and
. Production, transportation, and material moving occupations, 5%.
85% of the people employed were private wage and salary workers. 10% were federal, state, or local
government workers and 5% were self-employed.
Conclusion: Boynton Beach has a slightly higher percentage of its labor force in the secondary labor
sector (low wage retail and service sector) than Palm Beach County as a whole. The CRA should include
businesses providing employment opportunities in the primary labor market in its recruitment efforts.

Income
According to the American Community Survey, the 2007 median income of households in the
City was estimated to be $43,774 (2006 figures adjusted for inflation), lower than the County's
median income of $53,149 for the same time period, also adjusted for inflation. Median
household income in the CRA was well below the City's average at $40,9591. 70% of the
households within the City received earnings and 17% received retirement income other than
Social Security. 38% of the households received Social Security. The average income from
Social Security was $14,090. These income sources are not mutually exclusive; that is, some
households received income from more than one source2.
Conclusion: The high percentage of households collecting Social Security skews median income
downward. This is typical of a population with a large number in their golden years. Also, as
previously mentioned, the City has a slightly higher percentage of its labor force in the
secondary labor sector than Palm Beach County as a whole. With new and more diversified
employment opportunities, this figure should proportionately increase.
Unemployment
As previously mentioned in the beginning of this plan, one of the challenges facing the CRA (and
the City) is unemployment. Although Florida and Palm Beach County has enjoyed one of the
fastest growth rates and highest employment levels within the past 10 years, the
unemployment rate and the number of unemployment claims has risen over the past couple of
years. In 2005, the statewide unemployment rate was 3.9% decreasing to a record low of 3.3%
in May of 2006; however, in 2007 it rose to 4.0% and has continued to rise to its present rate of
6.8% as of August, 2008. On the local level, the County-wide unemployment rate is higher than
the national and state average at 7.3% with 47,891 people unemployed. Unemployment within
the City is lower at 6.4% so far for 2008, but higher than in previous years3.
1 Median household income for the CRA was extrapolated from the 2006 Boynton Beach CRA Housing Needs
Assessment, FlU Metropolitan Center and adjusted for inflation. All inflation adjustments were made using the
inflation calculator from the Bureau of labor Statistics

By examining the trend of unemployment claims filed so far for 2008, the number can be
expected to reach approximately 65,000 initial claims in 2008 as compared to 42,638 in 2007 in
Palm Beach County, an increase of 52%. Also, as is typical in times of stagflation (where GDP
retracts while inflation increases), the Consumer Confidence Index has declined significantly
and reached an all time low in June, 2008 dropping to 591. Nationally, the index sits around
59.8 as of the end of September; however, the cutoff date for responses to the survey used to
gauge consumer confidence was September 23 and doesn't capture the recent market plunge
on Wall Street that wiped away $1.2 trillion in value from retirement funds, mutual funds and
individual stock holdings. With the bailout plan for Wall Street having just passed on October
1st, there may be an increase in consumers' confidence in the economy. Below is a table
released in September, 2008 showing changes in the number employed since last year in Palm
Beach County along with the respective job classifications,

Conclusion: Inflation along with the downturn in the real estate and credit markets has
impacted the purchasing power of many households within Palm Beach County. Without
consumer spending and without the ability to borrow capital, many businesses have not been
able to retain their employment base. With regained access to credit for both consumers and
small businesses, consumer confidence and lending should increase and unemployment rates
should return to more historical patterns, The bail out plan that was just passed is anticipated
to bring about the needed liquidity in the market place and induce banks to start lending again

Conclusion: The CRA should focus on recruiting the above industries and similar types of
businesses most likely to continue to grow. Also, recruitment should focus on neighborhood
goods and services to meet local unmet demand within the CRA.

Housing
"Future housing demand in the City ot Boynton Beach will be largely determined by on-goinf
and planned economic development activit\' that will result in expanded employmen-
opportunities. Employment growth will occur through the retention and expansion of existinr
firms and new economic growth resulting from start-ups, spin-ofts, and relocations to the cit,
and the southern and eastern sections of Palm Beach County. Basically, populations tollow jot
growth and the demand for housing will be defined by the location, type and wage levels of thE
City and County's future employment growth'
As previously mentioned, the large majority ot the current labor force is comprised of workers
within the secondary labor market (low wage retail and service sector occupations). These
types of jobs are most affected by changes in the real estate market. It is critical to the City'~
economy to be able to house its workforce while simultaneously attract new businesses and
industries offering higher wages and salaries. From 2002-2005, the City experienced a 16% loss
of renter-occupied units due to condominium conversions. The inventory of apartments
decreased from 6,224 to 5,035 units. Of importance here is the majority of young
professionals, who are most often the pioneers that move into urban redevelopment areas, are
usually renters while starting their careers since entry-level salaries do not typically offer the
ability for most of the young professionals to purchase their first home. The CRA needs to
continue to build its residential rental base in order to attract the young urban professionals
while building its inventory of quality affordable housing for homeownership to keep its
workforce from moving to other parts of the County, Intermediate opportunities to rent exist
within some of the new condominium and townhome developments; however, this is a short
term situation as a result of the downturn in the local housing market and does not meet
current and future local demand nor affordability requirements. By the year 2025, 4,173 new
workforce housing units (80 -120% of area median income) and 6,627 affordable rental housing
units for new households earning 80% and less than area median income will be neededl. The
CRA will is expected to absorb a significant amount of these units due to availability of land and
other redevelopment opportunities. In the past few years, the CRA has actively acquired land
designated for affordable housing and subsidized the cost to for-profit and nonprofit
developers committed to quality workforce housing with several infill developments currently
underway. Also, in order to match housing demand with supply, the CRA is one of the few CRAs
in the state with a grant incentive program for first-time homebuyers. It should be noted that
the CRA has received statewide and international recognition for its commitment to and
knowledge of affordable housing.

Conclusion: The CRA should continue to subsidize the cost of housing development in attempts
to meet current and future housing demand and to work closely with the appropriate City
Departments in expediting the development process (site plan related issues, permitting, etc).
Also, the CRA should assist developers in accessing other subsidy sources from outside the CRA
to help leverage the developers' and CRA's investments. The CRA should continue the down
payment assistance program to assist in retaining and attracting its essential workforce.
Through effective layering of various down payment assistance programs (State, County, and
other local programs), the targeted income households can be served. Monitoring of the State
and County down payment assistance programs will be necessary to effectively integrate the
CRA's program. In addition, the CRA could partner with existing Community Land Trusts (CL Ts)
in Palm Beach County to produce a permanently affordable housing stock while simultaneously
preserving public subsidies for future generations. By partnering with existing CL Ts, startup and
administrative costs can be eliminated.
Land Use
One of the prime factors in attracting new businesses and industries is the availability of
commercial and industrial space. Over the past few years, industrial land was converted to
residential in order to increase the tax base during a hot residential real estate market. The
unfortunate consequence is that this land is no longer available for industrial use which
typically provides for higher wages and salaries and also provides for more of a diversified
employment base. In addition, industrial land typically requires less public services than other
land uses which is critical during a time when the City's budget is constrained1.
Strategic planning of the redevelopment of the downtown corridor is currently underway. Key
to redevelopment of the area will be the creation of a central "downtown" area that has a
uniform feeling or a sense of place. Much of the previously existing retail space within the CRA
has been demolished or sits vacant awaiting redevelopment. These vacant sites along with
vacant land have caused the central downtown district to lack a pedestrian oriented feel and
sense of place. Existing businesses struggle due to these factors. Fortunately, the CRA had the
foresight to acquire the marina in order to preserve public access to the waterfront. This
should be the starting point on the creation of a sense of place within the downtown. Key to a
sense of place is fully-leased up commercial space. Commercial space within the marina
currently has several vacancies. Adding to this vacant space will be large amounts of
commercial space coming on line through neighboring mixed-use developments. The CRA can
capitalize on this opportunity by focusing recruitment efforts to these spaces and helping to link
1 Palm Beach County Industrial land Use Needs, IPARC Industrial land Use Subcommittee
15 I P age
businesses to the necessary capital. The CRA is currentlv reviewing designs and construction
drawings to make the marina and existing downtown more or (l destination for businesses to
relocate to and the public to visit.
Conclusion. Businesses that cater to the seasonal ana year round population should be
expanded in the marina and downtown and marketed, such as let ski rentals, kayaking, and
other water activities including a water taxi. The CRA currentiy owns a handful of boat slips,
These slips should be made available to new businesses and will also bring about a steady
revenue stream to the CRA to help offset some of its costs. In addition, recent legislation that
was passed requires the County to develop an Intracoastal Waterfront Economic Master Plan
that capitalizes on its environmental asset. The CRA should partner with the County and be
actively involved in the planning process. Also, any federal or state incentives should be
explored to help offset the CRA's costs freeing up funds for other redevelopment activities.
Also, it's recommended the CRA work with City staff on preserving the existing industrial land
suitable for redevelopment. This can be accomplished by amending the current City
Comprehensive Plan to include new goals and objectives centered on industrial land
preservation. Interested property owners of converted industrial land should be encouraged to
rezone their properties back to industrial. Other surrounding vacant and underutilized sites that
may be suitable to be rezoned to from residential or from commercial to industrial should be
examined and further explored to aid in the development and preservation process,
Lastly, special marketing events have been underway and have resulted in large numbers of the
public coming to the marina and other downtown areas. The CRA should continue to sponsor
and put on these events.
Retail Market
The retail market has been one of the hardest hit segments due to the downturn in the housing
sector and the decrease in consumers' disposable incomes caused by inflation. Vacancy rates
have been increasing steadily over the past year. Large national retailers are riding out the
downturn and temporarily putting expansion plans on hold until the economy recovers. Mom
and pop establishments are experiencing a more difficult time causing problems as well for
property owners in maintaining the lease-up of their spaces. Although the dominance of the
Congress Avenue corridor will continue, new retail space in the marina and new retail space
coming online (approximately 70,000 sq ft) along Federal Hwy in the heart of downturn will
provide opportunities for small businesses catering to nearby existing and future residents once
businesses are able to access capital.

Retail Rents, Absorption, & Vacancy Rate
Average lease rents have steadily increased over the past years despite the recent downturn in
the economy. As of the 2nd quarter of this year, average lease rates (NNNl in Palm Beach
County averaged $23.78. The Boynton Beach/Lantana submarket's average lease rate was
$22.381.
Net absorption of retail space continues to decline as weaker tenants continue to experience
hard times due to the decrease in consumer spending and higher supply costs. New
construction developments are limited which will aid in the stabilization of the market due to
no over-building. Below is a table outlining significant trends in the retail market, including
average asking lease rates and net absorption:

Industrial Market
Just as with the retail market, Palm Beach County's industrial market is experiencing corrections
as evidenced by increases in vacancy rates, decreased lease rates, and overall negative net
absorption. The correction can be attributed to the overall downturn in the economy with
housing relating businesses taking a beating. It's anticipated the pattern will persist through
the remainder of 2008. Vacancies will increase as more firms down size or move out from their
existing buildings while at the same time new speculative projects will come on-line adding
even more supply to the market1,
Industrial Rents, Absorption, & Vacancy Rate
The industrial lease rate in Palm Beach County averaged $8.34 as of the 2nd quarter of 2008
representing a decrease from the same time last year and is estimated to be a result of
additional inventory coming on line and as a direct result of decreased operating costs which
are (typically) passed onto tenants.
Overall industrial leasing activity totaled approximately 386,000 sq ft countywide in the second
quarter of 2008. Much of this activity occurred in the Boca Raton submarket. Sales ot
industrial land totaled 438,000 sq ft. Riviera Beach led the way in sales transactions ot
industrial space with approximately 240,000 sq ft. Tightened lending standards and increasing
capitalization rates have impacted sales activity, The vacancy rate in Palm Beach County was
8.6% as of the 2nd quarter of 2008. The Boynton Beach/Lantana submarket's vacancy rate was
higher at 13.5%1.
Major efforts by both the government and private sector have focused on positioning Palm

Conclusion: CRA staff should work closely with commercial brokers and create incentives to
attract new industrial-type businesses in order to compete with neighboring municipalities. CRA
staff can work with individual property owners to become designated as Brownfields to access
tax credits and other available incentives to encourage redevelopment. The existing commercial
fa~ade program should continue to be marketed to industrial property owners and businesses as
well. As previously mentioned in the Land Use portion of this plan" owners of previously zoned
industrial land should be encouraged to rezone their properties back to industrial which will add
to the available stock.
Office Market
Over the past few years, the office market in Palm Beach County has steadily grown, Boca
Raton and West Palm Beach have become the office centers with more office space for lease
than their neighbors combined. Given Boynton Beach's central and strategic location,
opportunities exist for Boynton Beach to capture a larger share of the office market in Palm
Beach County, especially in the Class A office market which is currently is minimal in Boynton
Beach. large tracts of undeveloped land exist within the downtown area upon which new
office buildings can be developed bringing new job opportunities, The health care and
professional services sectors have steadily grown and are expected to continue to grow which
will require additional office space.
Office Rents, Absorption, & Vacancy Rate
Boynton Beach currently has approximately 348,063 sq ft of office space available for lease
among the three classes with a majority within Class B (183,153 sq ft) as of the end of the 2n"
quarter of 2008. Absorption is down along with asking lease rates and vacancies are up
compared to the same time a year ago. In local economies that rely upon construction and
20 I
banking for a large portion of total employment, such as Palm Beach County, there's a focus on
business-to-consumer services and credit services (ex. mortgage lending). These types of
economies are more violate to changes in the housing market. During housing booms,
consumers have access to more disposable income (refinancing opportunities, profit from sales,
etc.) and thus business-to-consumer firms generally do fairly well. In downturns in the housing
market, the opposite occurs. These types of businesses layoff employees, reduce the scale of
their operations, demand less space and/or sublet, adding additional inventory into the office
marketplacel.

Whereas growth in the past few years has been led by the retail and construction activity,
there's expected to be a shift from the current economic center to other types of activity.
Future growth during the next 5 to 10 years will be led by exports (a weak dollar), corporate
investing (continued large profit margins), and business-to-business services. Residential
developers, retailers, and other business-to-consumer services will contribute less to overall
growth than in previous years. What this shift means to the local market is increased vacancy
rates, slower growth in rents, and the return of incentives and other landlord concessions 1.
The above table does not include office buildings with less than 30,000 sq ft, office
condominiums, or medical and government buildings. Information will need to be gathered on
those as well, also.
Conclusion: With projects on hold due to the current credit crunch in the lending fields,
absorption in the very near future will most likely be limited to office space currently on the
market or currently under construction aiding in the rebound of the office market. The CRA
should focus marketing and recruitment activities to firms that provide business-to-business
services and could incentivize lease-ups to capture a larger share of the office market.
Statistically, Boynton Beach lags far behind West Palm Beach and Boca Raton in the office
market, especially Class A and B office spaces. Boynton Beach is strategically located near the
center of the County providing access to southern municipalities and to Broward and Miami-

northern portion of the state would be ideally situated in the Boynton Beach CRA, located /Us
off of 1-95 and minutes away from Palm Beach International Airport. The eRA has 0 Un/ou'
opportunity with its undeveloped and underdeveloped land near the intracoastal to capture
larger share of the office marke:
Implementation
Implementation is a key component to economic development. A marketing campaign WI;
need to be conducted to successfully reach new businesses and developers interested J:
building, expanding, or relocating to the area. A business relocation package consisting O'
economic data and other relevant information about the area, including available incentive~
should be created and made available that expand upon the opportunities outlined in this plan
and the City's Economic Development Atlas. Incentives that focus on accessing capital,
residential development, industrial development, and the development of office space should
be maintained and/or created in such a way to set the Boynton Beach CRA apart from other
coastal communities and other similar redeveloping areas,
Staff will need to also actively network with professional peers and maintain involvement with
professional organizations to promote the area. Organizations that should be included, but are
not limited to the Business Development Board, the World Trade Center Organization, the Palm
Beach County Economic Development Office, the International Council of Shopping Centers,
and the Chamber of Commerce of Boynton Beach. In addition, regular contact with
commercial brokers will be needed. To also assist existing businesses within the CRA, a new
web page should be created listing the existing businesses, available job opportunities within
the CRA, available job training opportunities, and commercial space available.
Targeted businesses should include businesses that rely upon business to business services
seeking office space and industrial space. As previously mentioned, business such as jet ski
rentals & kayaking should be recruited for retail space within the marina,
Technical Assistance
A full-time professional staff person or a consultant should be added in FY 08 - 09 to assist in
carrying out the Economic Development Plan, including providing the needed technical
assistance to new and existing businesses, commercial brokers, and developers. Technical
assistance will need to be provided to businesses interested in accessing not only the CRA's
incentive programs, but other incentives such as the Brownfield program, Palm Beach County
CDBG Economic Development Set-Aside grants, etc.. Initial efforts should focus on the
redevelopment of the CRA, but could be expanded to encompass the entire City in the future,
An intern should be budgeted for to assist with economic development activities.
24 I P 2 g e
Measuring Progress
To effectively measure the results of the economic development efforts, a database should be
established that will accurately depict annual median income within the CRA, the current
number of businesses operating within the CRA, the type of businesses, number of employees,
wage levels, amount of space currently owned and/or leased, and available space for
businesses wishing to relocate or startup within the CRA. The database should be updated on a
periodic basis.

To be acceptable to private investors, the public's share of the return In most cases comes
after private investors have earned a return sufficient to attract their investment in the first
place. This objective for profit sharing has led to a shift from outright grants to private
developers to loans with the repayment schedules and interest rates depending on the
project's performance, similar to those used by conventional mortgage lenders. Thus,
direct public financial assistance is now focused on the particular problems frustrating
private investment and development, reflecting the more business-like and sensitive
approach public entities are taking to spur greater interest from private investors and
developers \\) l .' ~.., _ ("'. l Q .\: ( '"'.--\11 "

Loan Guarantees: Local government can shift some of the lender's risks by guaranteeing
a loan, a portion of a loan, or a portion of the debt service payments made to retire loans
thus increasing the likelihood that developers can obtain private funds. Similarly, if the
local government agrees to lease or purchase the project at a percentage of projected
market value in the event the projected return does not materialize, the project becomes
more attractive to equity and mortgage investors.
In Asheville, North Carolina, the city agreed to guarantee partial repayment of the private
financing for Park Plaza, a downtown project, consisting of 11 adjacent historic buildings
dating from the late 19th century, a new office/commercial building and a new 320-car
parking structure. City financing was necessary to justify restoration of these structures
and to interconnect the three blocks of buildings so that marketable floor plates and
efficient elevator cores could be offered,
In the event the project did not generate net operating income sufficient to cover the first
mortgage payment to a consortium of local private lenders during the first five years of the
project, the city pledged that it would make available a $200,000 line of credit to the
developer. If $200,000 were not needed in anyone year to cover the payment, the funds
paid by the city would be only the amount necessary to cover the mortgage payment. The
partnership agreement called for any funds paid by the city to the developer under the line
of credit to be repaid by the developer with interest upon sale or refinancing of the project
or no later than 10 years after initial project occupancy.

The Heart of Boynton Redevelopment Master Plan
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IDENTIFICATION OF INCENTIVES rnp
ECONOMIC EXPANSION AND RECRUITMEN I UF BUSINES~t.::,
Economic development is a process and approach used to create Jobs, assets, and an
investment climate in distressed neighborhoods and cannot be separated from community
development. Economic development impacts and is impacted by key social and political
factors in a community ranging from access to quality education and social services to the
availability of decent and affordable housing. When economic development is viewed as an
important element of a larger community development strategy, significant progress can
occur.
Economic Development
The public participation process documented the need for increased economic
development opportunities for local residents. The single biggest issue raised during the
charrette/workshop process was for training. While the County does provide training
through its Workforce Development Agency, the closest facility is in Delray Beach. As is
the case in most inter-city neighborhoods, transportation access is the single biggest
impediment to both training and employment.
The economic development strategy for this area will require a multiple task approach
localized training, access to job opportunities, and localized job development
The State of Florida's Agency for Workforce Innovation provides information on labor force,
employment and unemployment at a geographic level as low as a Census Tract. As shown
on page 11, the Heart of Boynton encompasses approximately 60% of the land area of
Census Tract 61, but in terms of population it represents a slightly higher percentage as is
also the case for unemployment. The overall Census Tract had a 2000 annual
unemployment count of 288 and an unemployment rate of 8.2 percent (compared to the
City's 4.5% unemployment rate). It is safe to assume that most of the 288 unemployed
persons reside within the Heart of Boynton as therefore its unemployment rate is closer to
10%. Furthermore this rate does not include persons unemployed but not considered to be
within the labor Force which if identified could increase the unemployment count
Trailllll~
A major impediment to providing training within the Heart of Boynton is the lack of available
meeting/training space. There currently are three possible solutions to the lack of training
space/facilities: A redeveloped Wilson Center, a community center within Boynton Terrace,
and use of the 8t. John facilities. The principal of Poinciana Elementary has offered its
services to provide off site tutoring. With proper facilities a number of state and charitable
Strategic Planning Group, Inc.

The Heart of Boynton Redevelopment Master Plan
organization exist (including the CDCs) to assist in providing necessary skill and motivation
training to the area's unemployed and under-employed.
These same facilities can be used as a job clearinghouse in conjunction with the County's
Workforce Development Board to schedule job interview, provide skill identification, etc.
Job Creation
The area currently has a limited number of jobs available with in the area, as the
community is largely residential by design with the exception of the industrial area
bordering the FEC tracks.
Job creation within the area can be developed in three major areas: micro enterprises,
creation of service and office developments/jobs, and construction employment.
Micro Enterprise
Micro Enterprises are usually single entrepreneurial efforts that can be housed in existing
residents. Examples of successful micro enterprises in distressed neighborhoods include:
African or Caribbean clothing design, photography, leather crafts, catering, carpentry,
landscaping, and pest control. One of the fastest growing and successful programs
supported by grants was training of inner city minority residents to become Web page
designers. This later effort could be developed with tutoring help for Poinciana
Elementary.
Day Care and other Support
As pointed out during the charrettes, the area is need of day care and other support
services including a public health clinic. Both of these services, which could be co-located
within the R.E. Lee CDC facilities, can assist residents seeking employment as well as offer
local employment opportunities.
Service and Office Development
Job opportunities are currently limited, as the community is largely residential by design.
The only employment node are the industrial properties along the FEC railroad tracks. The
master plan does allocate a limited amount of service commercial at three nodes (on
Seacrest Blvd south of 10th Avenue and at either end of MLK, Jr. Boulevard (at Seacrest
and at Federal Highway). These sites have very limited employment generation

Streetscape for MLK and Seacrest:
1.) Design Work for the 30% drawings was approved and executed in 2005
and 2006,
2.) Project construction is estimated at $6.0 million.
3.) American Reinvestment Recovery Act (Federal Stimulus Monies) were
awarded to Boynton Beach for this project in the amount of $1.9 million.
The Seacrest portion of the project can be completed with this
appropriation of money.

of Transportation (FOOT) and the Palm Beach County Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) in order to draw the monies from the
Federal Government and implement the project.
5.) This FOOT expects to start this project around March of 2010.
6.) CRA staff will continue to communicate with the community as the project
progress.

HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN
TO BE ADDRESSED.
T:\AGENDAS, CONSENT AGENDAS, MONTHLY REPOR TS\Completed Agenda Item Request Forms by
Meeting\Tab Pages Dr. Meeks Memo.doc
1.) Can the CRA meet any of their expectations, it they indeed have any?
For example, using CRA funds to be allocated to improve the
community within the next 3 years for the blighted areas?
Since the 2001 adoption of the HOB Community Redevelopment Plan
between the CRA and the City a total of $26,488,174 has been spent Of
funded to date for initiatives exclusive to the Heart of Boynton (see
attached)
The CRA's Board approved fiscal 2008-2009 includes the following monies
appropriated or spent on initiatives exclusive to improving the Heart of
Boynton Community:
1.) Economic Development Activities. $54,000
2.) MLK Project - 1,066,279
3.) MLK City Land Purchase. $650,000
4.) Special Events Family Day at Sims Center $5,000
5.) Property Maintenance, landscaping, insurance and trash cleanup
$50,000
6.) Planning and Community Workshops - $5,000
7.) Residential Improvement Grants. $180,000
8.) Homebuyer's Assistance Program- $600,000
9.) Seacrest Design - $182,000 (to complete does not include prim

2.) We need sidewalks on all main streets; one of many examples would
be 6th Ave to Seacrest
Historically, the City's Community Improvement Department has utilized
Community Development Block Grant money to construct sidewalks within
the Heart of Boynton.
CRA staff can set a meeting with the Director, Octavia Sherrod, to see if
there is money available in the upcoming year's budget to consider
constructing sidewalks as potential project.
3.) We need to further develop and maintain the few existing businesses
that already operate on 10th Avenue and Cherry Hills. Sara Sims Park is in dire
need of repairs and replacement of dilapidated equipment, canopies, benches,
water fountains, bathroom facilities and ground work as the park has been
neglected due to its location.
CRA staff previously approached Ms. Octavia Bell who owns the strip center on
10th and Cherry Hill. We will approach her again to see if she would be
interested in taking advantage of the CRA's Commercial Fayade Grant Program.
CRA staff can meeting with City staff of the Public Works Department and Parks
& Recreation Department to see if there is any opportunity to implement cosmetic
renovations and/or landscaping in the short term.
Construction of bathroom facilities would not be under the control of the CRA
since it is a City Park, but we will find out if bathroom facilities are something the
City would consider for this park.
4.l The vacant lots need to be monitored tor ground upkeep and be clear of
garbage and overgrown foliage. Owners of houses that have fallen into disrepair
due to economic hardship should receive relief and assistance so their homes
can be fixed up and families can live in them This is where the eRA can make
real improvements by either paying for repairs andlor assisting the owner with a
hardship loan application/grant for redevelopment A lot of the cleanup that is
done in the area is done by the good heartedness of volunteers, But the
construction that needs to be done for new or existing buildings will provide
employment for local contractors, thus creating iobs while the community is being
improved.
The eRA has monies budgeted every year tOl Glean up fo! private lots that have
been dumped by individuals The eRA s lots are rnaintained by vanous differenl
local vendors The establishment of a hotline' for the community to adVISE
agency staff of problem properties will assist us In quickly addressing unsightly
dumping
It the eRA Board approves the Committee s recomrnendatlon of abandomn4 ttlE'
alleyways unused by the sanitation services it will rnost likely stop a nlaJol
portion of the illegal dumping and significantly Improve community appearance
T he eRA has spent more than $400.000 on completed Resldentlallmprovernem
Grants without requiring a property lien (see attached list) The eRA expects Ie
complete another seven and seeks rnme money to continue this effectiVE'
program This program works in conjunction With nle Cltys COmnlllnltv

5.) Lighting is another serious Issue or the lack thereof. Many of the
neighborhoods in the HOB and surrounding areas have no street lights,
Lighted areas are less susceptible to crime, studies have shown There If
a vast need for foot patrol officers and bicycle policemen/women in the
CRA Boundary also
The CRA recently placed lighting on Its property at the corner of 9t11 Avenue and
Seacrest to stop loitering in the trees and surroundin9 areas The eRA. will
continue to address lighting issues on its properties
rhe CRA Police unit have been working With staff to dnve Community Policing
Through Environmental Design or r,PTFD to assist in reducing crime within the
entire eRA District, but address "hot lones in HOB The eRA hotline will allow
residents to point out streetlight outages at-risk spots and suggestions tn
Improve lighting
The CRA no longer has the "bike patrol or CA 11 earn exclUSively Howevel
we not only have the regular detail assigned by the BBPD, but the CRA Police
team led by Sgt Joe DeGuilio who has aggressively addressed problems
affecting the quality of life issues within the eRA District The Community
Committee would like to continue with the additional eRA Police unit since 11 has
had a positive impact In it's freshman yeai of deployment
6.) What should be reviewed with concerned citizens with the CRA is a list of
targeted goals the CRA had planned for the last eight years and what have they
produced in that time to make those goals a reality. Please refer to page 77 & 78
of the HOB Community Redevelopment Plan handbook to see what goals the
CRA had and the time frame they were saying they would achieve them. It
would seem the CRA never even attempted to meet many if any of these goals.
CRA owned buildings remain boarded up and area eyesore to this day. The only
properties that are improved upon are individual parcels that are sold to a
developer by the city. The developer then demolishes the old house and builds a
new one to sell. Small ticket items are money made by the City; so the CRA is
putting little if nothing back into the community.
2001 - HOB Community Redevelopment Plan initiative executed under the
direction of the City's Director of Development who at the time was the
CRA Director as well.
2001 - Independent CRA Board selected

programs since 2002. The CRA began its "affordable housing" initiatives in
2005 and continues to date. The CRA has been recognized for "best practices"
from the PBC Housing Leadership Council, Florida League of Cities, Florida
Redevelopment Association and International Downtown Association.
2008 - Wilson Center Redevelopment Completed by the City of Boynton

2005 - CRA appropriates funds for the design phase of the MLKlSeacrest
Streetscape project. The Seacrest portion of the project will be funded in 2010

designed in order to be "shovel ready" for any future stimulus monies that may
become available.
2002 .. Cherry Hill Project is not owned by the City eRA or County out the
Palm Beach County Housing Authority currently owns the land eRA staft

eRA staff continues to communicate with the director of the authority

critical roles in the redevelopment of the
area and under this redevelopment plan will
continue to be critical partners in the
Redevelopment Proces~ Currently,
Boynton Beach Faith Based COC is the
most active of the two. Its pnmary focus is
creating new homeownership within the
area. Given the need tor land assemblage, I
it is critical that new housing be constructed i
within the community to house those I
relocated. The primary target area for this I
type of new residential development will be
in the northern portion of the Martin Luther
King Neighborhood.
The R.E. Lee COC is reestablishing itself
as a service based COC initially utilizing the
building it built behind S1. Johns Church.
This facility could house a Public Health
Clinic, Day Care and other public service
uses
inally, as discussed later, COC's play an
mportant role in accessing federal and
tate grants as well as provide job training
nd employment opportunities. ,

The City will need to amend its Growth Management Plan to reflect changes to the Future
Land Use Plan. After the City's Future Land Use amendment has been approved, the City
will need to approve the Zoning changes recommended in this Master Plan
The adoption of the Heart of Boynton Master Plan will also serve as approval to the new
adopted Design Standards for the area. The following provide a short discussion of the
steps required to implement the Master Plan.

Other issues and recall of issues that need to be addressed bv the eRA:
1.) City Hall should not be moved from the CRA area.
The relocation of City Hall is being contemplated by the City Commission not the
CRA Board.
2.) More minority diversity in the CRA staff reflecting the HOB community.
The CRA Board instituted a policy in 2006 to advertise to a larger community in
order to address this particular issue. In the future employment opportunities
arise at the CRA we will not only follow the existing policy, but send a copy of the
advertisement to the HOB President.
3.) No more town hall meeting with CRA until they produce an action plan.
Interested parties signed up to meet about the development of the action plan at
the March 31, 2009 meeting held at the Carolyn Sims Center. This group known
as the CRA Community Committee is open to all interested parties. This group
has assisted the CRA staff with the action plan being brought forward on May 12,
2009 for consideration by the CRA Board
4.) No more water bill increases for the citizens.
This item must be addressed with the City Commission not the CRA Board.
5.) Free medical care services in HOB community area.
This item has been explored in conjunction with the Women's Circle, Florida
Atlantic University, County Commissioner Jeff Koons and the United Way.
CRA staff can speak to local service providers such as the Caridad Center or
County agencies who may be able to assist with a plan to either bring the
services to the residents or take the residents to a service.
6.) Funding for low-income businesses by way of available grants in the HOB
area especially on 10th and Cherry Hill and to improve existing
businesses.
Palm Beach County Development Regions Grant Program no longer exists nor
does the C.U.R.E. at Florida Atlantic University. CRA staff will seek out possible
Business Loan Fund opportunities, Federal Economic Development Grant
opportunities as well as find business plan assistance, tax assistance etc. to hold
workshops within the community,
7 ) Beautify and provide upkeep by furnishing paint and other materials to
revamp houses in the area.
Home Depot has a "paint up 1I1ltlatlve rc provide pamt tor Such ploJecl:S L R/\
staff will investigate the possibility If this IS available and then proceed to assist
