Assignments A. Pending Assignments 1. Update on Registration and Travel Expenses to Attend the Florida Redevelopment Association 2022 Annual Conference on October 12-14, 2022, in Daytona, Florida. Thuy Shutt, CRA Director, reported that the members who previously requested to attend the Conference were approved by the CRA Board, and Ms. Shutt noted that Chair Cobb will also be attending the Conference. Chair Cobb mentioned that Ms. Curfman was helpful with the registration process for the Conference. 2. Review and Discuss the CRA Funded Current and New Business Promotions and Marketing Events including Strategies to Promote the Marina. Thuy Shutt, CRA Director, indicated this was an assignment the CRA Board gave this Board, and this is their last opportunity to summarize prior to Vice Chair Josemond presenting to the CRA Board at their November 9, 2022 meeting. Ms. Shutt referenced the article provided to everyone at the last meeting regarding them being under scrutiny about what and how they spend their dollars and whether it is under the Statutory eligibility. Events have always been at the top of the list because CRA's are not charged with doing events and marketing unless they are small business promotional events. Most CRA's do not do large events and because of the article, many Cities have asked them how the events are done. Ms. Shutt mentioned the Pirate Fest has grown so much that it exceeds their Statutory requirements. Any events the CRA does must leverage and benefit the CRA businesses and citizens in the CRA and anything outside of that related to holiday events, is not within the CRA's charge and must be turned over to the City. Ms. Shutt indicated that Marina events have different criteria; there is some flexibility because it is a self- generating program and they do not depend on TIP funds. Because they sell fuel and lease docks, they can 5 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 3 October 6,2022 have the Rock the Marina event where they highlight all the businesses and tenants who lease the dock spaces. They cannot have a fishing tournament because their tenants are not just fishing charters. There is a fine line between a two to three-hour event to promote businesses and restaurants in the Marina and having 50,000 people attend an event they cannot track, so it appears to be a party the taxpayers are paying for. Pirate Fest started to become more tourism related and that is when the CRA asked the City to start paying for the majority of the event. The CRA will still pay for the business promotion component, but the businesses and restaurants cannot feed 50,000 people. As part of this assignment, the CRA Board asked this Board to find ways to better promote eligible business promotion events, to come up with any other events that could be eligible that the CRA can fund, and how to better promote the Marina, and some of those items were identified at the September meeting. One good idea was to promote things through sports events to encourage parents to attend. Ms. Shutt would like this Board to come up with a final list that Vice Chair Josemond can present to the CRA Board at the November 9, 2022 meeting. Vice Chair Josemond questioned if an event that is too big needs to go to the City. Ms. Shutt replied not necessarily. She mentioned the Attorney General's opinion regarding events, and it does not distinctively say everything. Other attorneys, based on the article, have taken the other side and said this has been superseded by the 2109 Statutory changes and it does not list that as one of the eligible expenses; most was physical activity such as Affordable Housing, streetscape, infrastructure, clean-up, and eliminating slum and blight. There can be many issues with big events; it is about public trust; the public trusts them to do the right thing with their taxpayers' money. Ms. Gordon asked if the CRA or City is still considered Boynton Beach. Ms. Shutt stated the question is if the CRA is using the funds they are allowed to use per the Statute, it is not a question if the City can host the events. The CRA is a Special Dependent District, they are not a General Government entity like the City; they have their own Procurement requirements, their own budget, and Legal section of the law they must comply with. Regarding Vice Chair Josemond's question about fishing tournaments, if they had a big enough Marina and all the slips are fishing charters, they could have a tournament promoting fishing charters. When talking about fishing charters, it is a lot more complicated; there is prize money, who is doing the sponsorship, which fish they are going to fish for, how they are going to weigh the fish, etc. The City of Boynton Beach had a fishing tournament, and it was sponsored and administered by the Firefighter's Foundation. The CRA cannot fund non-profits and they cannot hire someone to promote an event. There are economic development factors and that is what they try to do with all their grants, which include physical business improvement grants as well as the rent assistance grant. Those grants were questioned in 2019, and they were able to make the connection that slum and blight is defined in vacancy rates. Another question posed in the article is if money can be spent on promotional items and their attorney said there is nowhere in the Statute that says money can be spent for marketing. The CRA attorney usually tells them most things they do must relate to physical construction or physical projects such as Affordable Housing, infrastructure, and Parks and Recreation as long as it is physical infrastructure and not programming or summer things. Vice Chair Josemond questioned if they could promote Oyer Park since upgrades are being done in that park. 6 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 4 October 6,2022 Ms. Shutt reiterated the question is promoting and if there is anything in the Statute that says they can spend money on promotion and marketing for a non-physical activity. The City can do that and the CRA can help share flyers and marketing,they just cannot spend the money or staff time to call for sponsorships because that equates to dollars. Ms. Shutt mentioned the Rock the Marina event on November 5, 2022, and instead of doing the live fish dive and derby, they are doing a fishing extravaganza to promote the fishing boats. They are going to book the boats and people can purchase tickets, go to the boats, and fish. The CRA can do that because they are promoting the fishing charters. They are also bringing in a band to attract people and the Marina Cafe will provide lunch to all the fishing patrons for a small rate. There is a connection to where the businesses benefit from the event. The CRA will do Boynton Bucks, so patrons will get$5 off lunch and the CRA will reimburse the restaurants the $5 and whoever comes back with the coupon afterwards shows they got the coupon from that event. Ms. Skovron commented that they are promoting the Cafe and eliminating the other businesses. Ms. Shutts stated they promote all the businesses and the CRA does Media Kits for them with all the graphics; they just fill in their name. They also try to have a game to entice the public to go into those storefronts and ask more about their services. Chair Cobb asked if CRA's are ever involved in community gardens in an area that has been redeveloped. Ms. Shutt replied they have; it was done in the schools. The problem was that parents could not commit to maintaining the gardens and vandalism happens. One successful place they did was in Westgate. An acre was donated, and she thinks an electric motor car goes around the neighborhood and sells vegetables; if someone has a SNAP card, they can double the cost. Community gardens are not well maintained if there is no commitment. The CRA hires a garden manager and part of that was that was a food desert. Ms. Shutt mentioned there is difficulty with public buy in. Ms. Skovron asked if there is a flyer for the Rock the Marina event and if it mentions all the businesses in the area. Ms. Shutt replied yes. They have one flyer for all the Downtown businesses.For the Marina,they advertise in the Marina publication and the U.S. Travel, and they have campaigns for Mother's Day and Father's Day. Their budget has a small item for marketing at the Marina, and examples can be provided. They have a list of CRA businesses willing to participate, not just the Marina, and they are all listed. The CRA has to go through an application process because there is such a desire to do this,but as part of the application, businesses have to make sure they do their end as far as reporting. A couple years ago, the City had a Downtown branding effort, which needs to happen because they do not have a Downtown Development Authority, so a recommendation to the CRA Board could be to ask the City to continue with that effort. Ms. Shutt stated that is only done for the Marina event, but for all the other CRA events, they try to focus on the 500 Block; there is not any Center, so they do Rock the Block. This year, one of the events will be a Holiday Market in conjunction with the City's Holiday Parade. The CRA tries to cross promote and promote with the City, so they are not competing with their events. When the CRA does events, it will highlight the block for that Center. 7 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 5 October 6,2022 Ms. Skovron asked how events are scheduled during the same month and she mentioned flags on the light poles. Ms. Shutt advised that events are scheduled way in advance. They have to coordinate with shopping center owners, and they need to consolidate the flags and banners because there are three different banners with three different light posts. It is expensive to change out, but they can narrow it down to two banners. The CRA is working on a light project with the City and as soon as the light posts and extension are approved, they will start looking at the banners and incorporating them. She mentioned events approved by the CRA for next year; the events are budgeted, and they are already working on marketing for the Rock the Marina event. Those events are set a year in advance and all those dates are coordinated with the shopping center owners or businesses that are participating. They have been planning for the Rock the Marina since last month for it to happen on November 5, 2022. They are looking for events for the beginning of next fiscal year and that is when they found out that the fishing charter, Sea Mist, is not available. Currently, three boats can participate. Ms. Skovron mentioned a banner for the Pirate Fest at the Hampton and Gateway and asked if more businesses will agree to something like that. Ms. Shutt stated there are sponsorship packages. With the City running the event, all the Boynton businesses can come. If a business wants more promotional opportunity, they can be a sponsor or make in-kind donations. In January, the CRA is going to start training City staff for next years' event and the date will be set at that time. The RFP's and RFQ's will have to be done to procure services starting in May. There is a contract for all characters and vendors, and anyone who deals with children must sign to make sure their records are good. Chair Cobb asked how the Marian became part of the CRA in terms of representing or eliminating slum and blight in the Marina area. Ms. Shutt advised the Marina is not funded by TIF exclusively. The Marina has to do with the historical fishing history in Boynton Beach. Boynton Beach has one of the few commercial Marinas, most Marinas are residential. The CRA purchased the Marina and spent all the money to allow bigger boats to go into that area, which is part of what they do, and their effort is to make sure they preserve the public realm of the Marina. They were trying to reactivate the commercial component, leveraging commercial dollars, and to preserve the Marina Village and public open space available so anyone could go in there. It is a bigger goal and more inclusive; that is the anchor to their town. Chair Cobb commented that based on what she is reading from the State, a local government can determine if an area is slum or blighted and designate such area as appropriate for community redevelopment. There is so much focus on the Marina and she questioned how they are trying to connect some of the businesses in another part of the corridor of the CRA that could use help to stay or attract new businesses within the corridor. Ms. Shutt indicated that the CRA's priorities have always been MILK Boulevard and as part of that, she mentioned the Heart of Boynton Village. The CRA has invested $4 million towards Affordable Housing 8 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 6 October 6,2022 units with the tax credit. As part of that, the City and the CRA Board approved $2 million to create the ground floor retail space where seven local businesses can come in. They also put in there that as part of the Rock the Plaza event, there will be a Ribbon Cutting for the Heart of Boynton Village on Saturday, April 29, 2023. They are diligently working with tenants coming in and hoping to do another event once the project is finished. They are trying to pay attention to all, not just the Marina. The Marina is a success, and it is self-sufficient, so it is not dependent on TIF funds anymore, it is earning money. Ms. Gordon asked if the CRA helps all the businesses or the participants. Ms. Shutt advised there are separate grant programs available to all businesses, with a $500,000 average per year given to all businesses, but they must apply and meet program requirements. The CRA gave $1.2 million during COVID; they gave $10,000 to 101 businesses, which kept them going for six months, and those were forgivable loans as long as everything required was provided within one year. During the Pandemic, the CRA Board realized there were not as many businesses in the area of the Heart of Boynton Village, so this year, the CRA Board gave another $58,000 to seven businesses, which are going to open on MILK Boulevard. Chair Cobb commented that she is happy new businesses are opening and questioned branding for the City. Perhaps having signs at MLK Boulevard and U.S. 1 and from Seacrest and U.S. 1 to introduce people to the community would be helpful. Ms. Shutt stated the CRA will be helping the City redo the streetscape. Timothy Tack, CRA Assistant Director,is helping the City look at the scope of work for underground utilities, and to try to punch through between MLK Boulevard and 9th, because currently it is one-way before turning around, and to have an active business corridor for deliveries, etc., there needs to be connectivity. Ms. Shutt mentioned rental apartments and they want more live and work with townhouses and things people can buy into. The CRA needs to acquire lots for a reasonable price, assemble the lots, and maybe do some other projects to build wealth in the community. On the other side of Federal Highway, the CRA gave a lot on the east side of Federal Highway to two entities in return for them developing the lot. The radio station is giving the CRA $100,000 in free advertisement to be used within five years and the Engineering firm is giving a certain amount of dollars for services. If those services are not used, the entities must pay the CRA. Ms. Skovron thinks something is needed on the corner to make it attractive. Ms. Shutt advised the entities are currently in for permitting and there will be an art piece, but in continuation, there is a property on the northwest corner, which the City is pursuing to take; they will demolish the area and build an entrance feature to the Heart of Boynton Village. The CRA will help the City provide funding for the planning or the artwork. Ms. Shutt mentioned West Boynton Beach Boulevard and noted that the CRA received a TPA Grant in 2018, to improve Boynton Beach Boulevard. FDOT has an Interchange project that will overlap with the Complete Street project. Construction will probably begin in late 2024. As far as branding, perhaps they need to recommend that the CRA Board ask the City to promote Downtown and the CRA businesses. 9 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 7 October 6,2022 Ms. Grcevic commented that she read what other CRA's have done and asked if the Smart Water with individual DNA is still being done in Boynton Beach. She participated when it was done in the past and it allows you to mark anything in your home. If something is stolen and returned,it goes through a scanner and tells the Police the owner of the property. Crime is a concern and anything that could be a deterrent would be helpful. Perhaps the CRA could have an event for people to come in and get Smart Water. Ms. Shutt stated she will check with City staff and Police services. The City could do it, but she did not know how the attorneys would view it. Even if it is crime prevention, the only thing the CRA can pay for is innovative policing. Ms. Grcevic asked about Affordable Housing and First-Time Buyer programs for people buying in the CRA District. Ms. Shutt advised that is part of their agreement with developers. They recently had a conversation with the County regarding any Affordable Housing programs they do, and someone has to qualify them for income. If they partner with Habitat, Habitat does it with classes for homeownership. The County has homeownership classes on a regular basis, but when someone gets qualified it only lasts for 120 days and it is based on a particular project. The CRA does that as part of their partnership with the County or developer if it is an Affordable Housing developer. Vice Chair Josemond questioned if there is a timeline for the MLK streetscape project. Mr. Tack indicated they are currently working on the service authorization with the Design Consultant. Usually, this is about a one-year design and a one-year construction, but because they are including possible undergrounding, which is going to be heavily intensive with FP&L, the timeline may expand because they may have to do activities prior to starting construction. Currently, they are looking at two to three years. Ms. Shutt advised they are looking at their scope and the price of the scope. Ms. Grcevic asked if any of the utility companies ever donate anything, so they can install their infrastructure at the same time. Mr. Tack replied that is typically done with FP&L because they are tied to the pole. Ms. Grcevic thought with communities and businesses coming in that it would be in their best interest. Ms. Shutt indicated the City and the CRA will not be negotiating directly with those companies, it will probably be FP&L. Vice Chair Josemond mentioned the possibility of having a fishing tournament. Ms. Shutt stated that the CRA Board could be asked to direct staff to work with the City in investigating a fishing tournament. She reminded Vice Chair Josemond that there must be sponsorship and prize money. 10 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 8 October 6,2022 Chair Cobb suggested the Board review the following lists to be presented at the CRA Board meeting in November 2022. Business Promotional Events: • Incorporate an Art component to the Night Market and increase the number of Night Markets. • Promote the Marina by using the Boynton Beach Boulevard Extension to advertise with banners at the intersection and reactivating the Banner Program for the Marina. Any events with the Marina will require additional parking for the attendees and one example is to try to do some improvements in the parking lot behind Veteran's Park. • Engaging band and performers to activate Pete's Pond. • National Good Neighbor Day or an event that will promote multicultural attendees and participants. Marketing: • Advertising on fire trucks, police cars, churches, buses, specifically Palm Tram, bus shelters, and benches, and the Tri Rail. • Announcements at high school events, sports programs, etc. as outreach to parents. • Run promotions on the screen at meeting and City Commission meetings as well. • Reactivate banners. • Include children in art projects. • Surveys and Boynton Bucks. • Channe120. • Look at more TV media sources such as local news, but that would be subject to who the Editor is or what news they pick up. • Outreach to HOA and COBRA groups. • Downtown Branding requires more public input for something people will recognize. • CRA Awareness to resources and programming. • Look at which forms of media can connect to neighborhoods in the CRA. • More outreach for residents, which may be through a CRA Awareness Campaign, more posting about CRA projects and programs, and at churches within the CRA District. Anything outside of the CRA District will have to be partnered with the City to see how to get the message out to the churches. Motion made by Ms. Gordon, and seconded by Ms. Grcevic, to approve all bullet points as amended and Vice Chair Josemond will be the spokesperson for this Board. Motion passed by unanimous voice vote. (5-0) B. Reports on Pending Assignments—None. 11 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 9 October 6,2022 C. New Assignments Thuy Shutt, CRA Director, advised there is a new assignment, which is to have the CRA Advisory Board review the presentation for the Parks Master Plan. Kacy Young, Recreation and Parks Director, will provide a presentation. George Gentile,Holloway, O'Mahoney&Associates(2GHO),is also present.Mr. Gentile is the consultant who is working on the Parks Master Plan with City staff. Kacy Young, Recreation and Parks Director, advised that the Recreation and Parks Department is going through a Parks System Master Plan. Part of that plan is reaching out to different Advisory Boards, community stakeholders, and elected officials, to conduct a Focus Group. A list of questions will be given to Advisory Boards to provide information regarding the Parks System Master Plan and what the community would like to see from the Parks System for the next ten years. They have met with two community input groups and different Advisory Boards, and they are here to present that information to this Board. An online survey was conducted with the community and a Needs Assessment went out to randomly selected community members to provide input as well. George Gentile, Senior Partner with 2GH0, Inc., Landscape, Architects, Planners, and Environmental Consultants, and they are the consultants with their co-consultant, Carlos Perez with the Perez Planning Group. Two other entities are working with them on the surveys and some of the management criteria. He provided a brief presentation and highlighted the following: • The purpose is to assess the existing conditions of the parks, recreation systems, programs, and all the services the Recreation and Parks Department and the City are providing, as well as staffing and funding. This will be one of the components of the entire analysis. • Parks and Recreation trends, needs, and priorities will be identified. • Strategic and resilient recommendations will be provided for the future for the improvement and provision of facilities, programs, and services for all the parks including acquisitions and further development. • They are doing this to have Boynton Beach meet the requirements of the Commission of Accreditation in Parks and Recreation Agencies, which is called CAPRA. It is managed by the National Parks and Recreation Association and their purpose is to get them to that point, which allows a lot of opportunities in the future for potential funding and other items. • Their approach is a five-step process as follows: • Context Analysis. A Context Summary document will be prepared as part of the report. • Needs and Priorities Assessment. A Priority Summary will be provided. • Long-range Vision. • A Summary of Implementation Strategies will be provided including funding alternatives and priorities. • A Final Master Plan will put all the elements together for the Commission to adopt, and then they will have a program for ten years. • Three elements that are critical to developing the Plan. • The schedule was mentioned. They finished the Context Analysis and are getting to the Needs, Priorities, and Assessment aspect. They are in the public participation and are a little behind 12 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 10 October 6,2022 because of the number of groups they have been meeting with. That should be ending around the second week of October, and then they will be having a Steering Committee meeting and a Commission presentation. Next, will be development of Long-range Vision, which will be presented to the Steering Committee probably around the first week of December. The implementation is ongoing, and they hope to have the Commission adopt this Plan the first week of February. • A website, .w w reijgnnerecrec tionbo nton.com has been set up,which has all their information and some activities. There is an online survey to help with input for Parks and Recreation activities. Mr. Gentile asked the following questions: Lengthy discussion ensued regarding each of the questions and the following responses were provided: 1. What do you believe are the top priorities Parks and Recreation needs in the City of Boynton Beach? a. Soccer fields. b. Lighting. c. More interactive exercise equipment for adults. d. Fishing activities. e. Yoga. f ADA compliance. g. Music. h. Dog Parks. 2. What are the needs of the community? a. Economic. b. Social. c. Environmental. d. Community involvement through events and engagement with the usage of the park. 3. What are the three top priorities the City needs? a. Safety. b. Accessibility. c. Educational. 4. What would you agree is appropriate funding for the Park/Recreation System? a. Taxes. b. Partnership/Sponsorship. c. User Fees. Mr. Gentile mentioned funding and stated that most people they have talked to would be willing to pay increased taxes. There could be User Fees at events, and partnering with sponsors for events to get funding, 13 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Page 11 October 6,2022 naming specific items within parks such as going to a corporate name for a field for a scoreboard or for some playground equipment. All those items can be done without changing the historical nature of the parks as far as names go. Mr. Josemond thanked Mr. Young and Mr. Gentile for the work they did on this project. 9.
