subdivision has recently been certified complete. In
accordance with Appendix C, Article 9, Section 7 it is
required that within five years of completion of improvements
to the subdivision that the sidewalks be built. The appli-
cant has requested a waiver of the sidewalks being built. Mr.

cant has also requested relief from the requirement in Appendix
C, Article 12, Section 1 to post a one-year guarantee for the

required improvements within the subdivision. Because the sub-
division was partially completed five years ago, Mr. Staudinger
recommends allowing relief from the one-year guarantee; however,
drainage improvements which were in the portion recently
completed should be subject to the one-year guarantee which is
standard in that portion of code.
Mr. Robert Fetrow, Gator Engineering Services, 200 Knuth
Road, Boynton Beach, is the applicant. He has no objec-
tions to Mr. Staudinger's recommendations.

sidewalks and approved relief from the one-year guarantee in
all matters except drainage, as recommended by the City
Engineer. Vice Mayor Harmening seconded the motion and it

LEGAL
A. Ordinances - 2nd Reading - PUBLIC HEARING
1. Proposed Ordinance No. 091-48 RE: Creation of
a Community Development District - (CDD) - Quantum
Corporate Park
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 091-48
by title only:
"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING THE QUANTUM
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT; ESTABLISHING THE
BOUNDARIES OF THAT DISTRICT; APPOINTING THE INITIAL
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS; PROVIDING FOR POWERS OF THE
BOARD; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY,
CODIFICATION AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
Cal Cearly asked for the support of the Commissioners on
~his issue stating that the City of Boynton Beach would not
ave legal or financial responsibility for the CDD tax-free
ond issue nor would it affect the bond rate of the City.
Bill Sherry, a commercial real estate broker, spoke in favor
Qf the issue, stating that from a commercial standpoint it
Would bring prices of land sites to a level where outside
businesses can buy them and make them perform.
Do~oris Pastl, Specialty Advertising, 639 East Ocean Avenue,

Chamber of Commerce, who are strongly in support of Quantum
Corporate Park and their need for a CDD. She stated that
through approval of this issue, the City would realize an
increase in tax revenues and many employment opportunities.
Bob Taylor, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
Bethesda Memorial Hospital, Boynton Beach, expressed sup-
port of the CDD by the Board of Trustees of Bethesda
Hospital and Bethesda Health Care Corp.
Mr. Taylor read excerpts from a letter dated May 10, 1991,
from Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, P.A., Flagler Center
Tower, 505 South Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach, FL. The
letter stated:
"...The law allows property owners to organize themselves
and to propose a plan of development to the municipality.
The municipality retains control over planning and develop-
ment without assuming any financial responsibility for the
project. Florida Statutes specifically provide that bonds
or obligations of a community development district shall not
Constitute debt or obligation of a local general purpose
government or the state.
As you know, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to
obtain conventional financing for developmental projects in
today's market. Additionally, the interest on bonds issued
by such special districts is usually more favorable than
most other forms of financing. Often the difference in
financing costs can be critical to the decision to proceed
With development.
tn my opinion, a well planned community development district
is a win/win situation for local government as it allows a
means for promoting responsible economic development,
including the creation of new jobs, without financially
encumbering the local government..."
r. Taylor concluded that development of the CDD will pro-
ide an opportunity to generate incremental tax revenues for
~he City, will provide additional jobs for the citizenry and
~111 generate purchasing power for Boynton Beach business
products and services. He asked that the Commission vote
Xes for the Quantum Corporate Park CDD.
~aul Raffa, owner of McDonald's, 1810 South Federal Highway,
o~ton Beach, stated that he believes Boynton Beach needs
the CDD which will create additional jobs and increase the
tax base. He asked that the Commission approve the CDD.

JULY 16, 1991
Craig Livingston, 323 North Pederal Highway, Director on the
Palm Beach County Business Development Board, stated figures
from a report prepared by the PBC Business Development Board
showing that Boynton Beach had only 5% of new jobs which
opened in the county in the last 12 months. He stated that
we must work together to be competitive and he asked the
Commission to allow the CDD to go forward.
Lloyd Powell, 1112 N. Federal Highway, owner of Alpine Florist,
made reference to his letter of May 20, 1991 to the Mayor and
Commissioners. He expressed his feelings that small business
owners and taxpayers in the City need CDD and Quantum Park and he
urged the Mayor and Commissioners to vote yes for the CDD.
Allen Knop, 647 SW 4th Avenue, who is also a small business
owner, expressed his approval of the CDD and urged the Commission
to vote yes.
Gary Ashcraft of the Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce explained
that he needs the CDD at Quantum Park as a tool to go before
prospects who are looking at Boynton Beach as a possible location
for industry and urged the Commission to pass the CDD.
Charlie Ladd, developer of the Shoppes of Boynton which is
situated adjacent to Quantum Park, is looking to Quantum Park to
help generate business for the shopping center. They have looked
to acquire land from Quantum Park for nearly three years but have
not been successful due to the price. If the CDD is approved,
they anticipate purchasing additional land and adding approxima-
tely 120,000 square feet to the Shoppes of Boynton.
~ill Martin, 4398 Caryota Drive, past President of the Greater
Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of the Chamber's
Economic Development Committee, urged the Commission to vote in
favor of the CDD pointing out the positives of increased tax
base, increased employment and impact fees.
Patt Tompson, 504 NW 6th Way, representing Quantum Corporate
Park, read into the record letters from local businesses and
residents in favor of the CDD. These letters were from Vivian
Decter of Crews & Decter, Jerome Leonard of Motorola, Inc.,
~eter G. Johnson, Director of Operations for South-Atlantic
Corporation, Kathleen E. Reilly, Asst. Vice President and Branch
Manager of First Union National Bank of Florida and Jeffrey M.
Kelly, Coldwell Banker Commercial Real Estate Group, Inc.

Bob Olenik Jr., urged the Commission to vote for the CDD as the
positives far outweigh the negatives and it offers one of the
best opportunities for development in the community and in Palm
Beach County.
Ed Poppell, 639 E. Ocean Ave., Suite 109, is a commercial and
industrial broker. He urged the Commission to vote in favor of
the CDD in order to get some lower priced real estate in the
community.
Edward Deutsch, Quantum Associates, Quantum Corporate Park,
addressed two articles which have appeared in the newspaper
recently. First, being the dispute Quantum Associates had with
Chase Federal Savings and Loan (now known as Chase Federal
Bank), forcing Quantum to file a litigation. This institution
has no affiliation with Chase Manhattan Bank.
Mr. Deutsch introduced Mr. Jesse Diner, attorney for Quantum in
this matter. Mr. Diner explained that Chase Federal Bank refused
tO fund tenant improvements and litigation became necessary. He
stressed that Deutsch-Ireland is a solid company and he urged the
COmmission to approve the CDD.
Mr. Deutsch discussed the second article concerning North Port
Center Associates (a Deutsch-Ireland entity which is developing
the convention center for Broward County). The article infers
that a question has arisen concerning unpaid rent.
MT. Deutsch introduced Mr. Richard Mooney, Executive Vice
President of the North Port project. Mr. Mooney explained that
what was at issue was the fact that the Port Authority had been
looking for rent on property from North Port land partners when
they had been receiving rent on that property from other tenants,
which is in violation of the existing lease between North Port
and the Port Authority.
Mb. Deutsch introduced Marsha Oliver, Director of
Development
R~lations' for Quantum Pa--~-~hose expertise lies in the area
o~ employment. Ms. Oliver will be responsible for implementing
M~nority Business Employment and a job service program at Quantum
Park. She pointed out that the 120,000 square feet mentioned
p~eviously equates to 480, including construction, entry level,
professional, part-time and temporary.
Mr. Deutsch introduced Dr. Henry Fishkind, 12424 Research
P~rkway, Suite 275, Orlando, who had reviewed the analyses made
by Mr. Harry Marcus and discussed them point by point as follows:
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 16, 1991
1)
The terms of debt with a bank loan differ from a CDD bond
in that the bank loan has a short life and a large balloon
payment, while the CDD has a 20 year amortization which redu-
ces the annual cost of carrying the debt.
2) The CDD debt carries a much lower interest rate.
3)
The CDD debt (the bonds) carry accrued interest which provides
an "interest holiday" for up to two to three years.
He further explained the release price which is controlled by the
lender is the price at which the lender will provide clear title
to a prospective purchaser of land at Quantum Park. At
$60,000,000, the release price for developable land is approxima-
tely $4.50 per acre; therefore, no sale can occur below $4.50 or
Chase Manhattan will not provide clear title. If the CDD is
approved and if $45,000,000 worth of bonds are issued, the
release price moves from $4.50 to $1.91.
The debt in total on the land goes up but the terms and the
release price change dramatically to allow them to meet the
market competition.
Mr. Deutsch next discussed Deutsch-Ireland's partner, Melvin
Simon who has and is currently developing approximately 61
million square feet of projects in this country and manages 71
million square feet. Messrs. Ireland and Deutsch have developed
over 15 million square feet.
Mr. Deutsch introduced Bill Hammer of Melvin Simon Associates,
Inc. who stated that Melvin Simon participated in three urban
development action grant projects for which the federal govern-
ment awarded approximately $80 million.
Mr. Deutsch introduced Simon Cruz , Vice President of Chase
Manhattan Bank, 5355 Town Center Road, Boca Raton. Mr. Cruz
stated that there has been misinformation in this matter and he
wanted to make clear that Chase Manhattan has been involved with
Deutsch-Ireland from the beginning of the CDD process and they
are in full support of the CDD. Mr. Deutsch explained that what-
ever money is raised by the CDD will be applied to Chase's debt.
The approximate figure involved is $60 million. The money raised
will be applied against Chase's first mortgage and when the CDD
becomes effective, Chase will go into a second position. 'It is
true that the debt will increase because of the bond but it does
not get repaid from the sale of lots directly but rather from
assessments. This provides the opportunity to the park to be
competitive which is what we are all trying to do.

JULY 16, 1991
QUESTIONS BY THE COMMISSION TO MR. DEUTSCH
Vice Mayor Harmening asked if the CDD concept is so economically
attractive, what would prevent other developers from coming to
the Commission asking for a CDD. Mr. Deutsch explained what it
takes to market bonds, to present a viable property for a CDD;
namely, economics. In today's world, bond buyers will not enter-
tain bonds for under $7 million. The costs and work involved to
put a CDD application together, the money spent by the City in
doing research, time and effort spent by the developer is all so
extensive that unless the economics make sense it is not worth
it. Mr. Deutsch went on to say that if another developer has the
right project and the amenities necessary, nothing would stop
them, but he asked what other park in Palm Beach County has what
Quantum Park has.
Mayor Weiner asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in
Opposition to the proposed Ordinance.
larry Marcus, Hor s a
~ . .-- ~ 650 izon East, ddressed his remarks to the
Petition itself. Mr. Marcus read from the petition stressing the
fiact that all statements contained within have been found to be
true and correct. In this regard, Mr. Marcus feels very strongly
that the financial statements provided should have been audited,
Which they were not. He pointed out that Chase Manhattan
requests financial statements through their mortgage and he feels
tlhe City should have received these statements when they were
originally requested. He described in detailed many aspects of
the financing which he does not feel comfortable with and urged
the Commission to oppose the CDD.
Former Mayoor Jim Warnke, 617 Lakeside Harbor, expressed his
6pposition to the CDD and pointed out that if the CDD does not
pass, Quantum Park will come up with alternate financing as it
Should. He asked that the Commission not vote for the CDD if
they had any doubts about it.
~ormer Mayor Gene Moore, 639 East Ocean Avenue, stated that he
~as always been in opposition to the creation of the CDD. He
referred to his letter of July 1 to the Commission and asked that
ilt become part of the record (see letter attached to original
minutes). Mr. Moore fears that liability could possibly fall on
the taxpayers. Mr. Moore stated that there is a foreclosure pro-
Ceeding in the amount Of $5.7 million against a portion of the
property; that the North Port project has a delinquent rent
Charge against them; and he urged the Commission to deny the CDD
iif they have any doubts about it.
en he asked Mr. Fishkind for an answer to a question on the
~°rtgage debt, Mr. Fishkind had no Mr. Moore asked
response.

Mayor weiner read Mr. Moore's letter into the record so that the
aiudience could hear it.

F~rances Cleary, 850 Horizons East, urged the Commission to
seriously consider the responsibility that could fall on the City
and vote against the CDD.
Walter Sullivan, 1106 SW 16th Street, stated that a precedent
would be set if the CDD is approved which could be used by a
fluture developer and asked that the Commission oppose the CDD.
Thomas Corcoran, 215 SW 3rd Street, feels that Quantum Park must
compete with Arvida to succeed and urged the Commission to oppose
the CDD.
Susan Colvin, 623 W. Ocean Avenue, feels that Quantum Park must
succeed on its own merits without developing the CDD.
Paul Raffa, who spoke, previously in favor of the CDD, explained
that after hearing the presentation he is now opposed. He is
concerned that Boynton Beach would have to cut back on services
to raise taxes and feels the CDD should not be passed.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER STATEMENTS, THE PUBLIC AUDIENCE WAS CLOSED.
QUESTIONS BY THE COMMISSION TO THE PETITIONERS
When Commissioner Artis asked Mr. Cruz why the financial infor-
mation was not reported to the bank, Mr. Kruse stated that the
petitioner has satisfied Chase Manhattan with any financial
information ever requested and that Chase Manhattan Bank has been
doing business with Duetsch-Ireland and Melvin Simon since 1982.
Frank Brady, engaged by the City regarding bond aspects in
6reation of the CDD, responded to a question posed by
Commissioner Artis on non-taxable assessment. Mr. Brady stated
that the special assessments are not an itemized deduction for
purposes of income tax; however, they increase the property
Owner's basis in the property so that if it is later sold, there
is a smaller capital gain.
~ichard Ashburn, 4844 Willowcrest Avenue, North Hollywood,
California, responded to a question posed by Commissioner Artis
Concerning how much the bond can legally be sold for. While
Florida Statutes allow bonds to be sold at 90¢ on the dollar,
the investment banking team on this project has no intention of
Selling them for anything less than 99¢ on the dollar. In the
Past eight years being involved in the sale and marketing of over
· $1 billion, he has never sold an issue at less than 99¢ on. the
dollar.
Commissioner Matson asked Dr. Fishkind about the total debt of $75
million in relation to $5.41/square foot. Dr. Fishkind responded
that this transaction, while it increases the total amount of the
10
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 16, 1991
debt, allows for a reduction in the land price because the effect
of paying down the bond debt is an accrued interest for at least
2 and possibly 3 years allowing it to be deferred, with no
interest or principal being paid. By reducing the bank debt, the
release price is lowered which is what allows the reduction in
the sales price. He pointed out that Arvida uses these bonds and
finds it to be an effective way to reduce land costs.
Mayor Weiner asked Dr. Fishkind at what interest rate these bonds
wlould be sold. Dr. Fishkind replied that the floating rate today
is 4.4% and the fixed rate is 6.9%.
Commissioner Artis asked Mr. Cherof about the ability of the City
t!o acquire bonds being affected. Mr. Cherof responded that while
h!e cannot predict what would happen, it is quite clear that the
obligations incurred by the CDD are not the obligations of the
City and cannot be inherited, unless they are voluntarily
accepted, at some point in the future.
Vice Mayor Harmening referred to Florida Statute 190.0028,
wherein it is stated that independent districts are not in the
public interest. He went on to explain that there are six
requirements which the Commission must find to be true and
correct before creating a CDD. He does not feel this criteria is
met. He asked Mr. Paul Bremer of Ernst & Young to expound on the
fiinancial statements which had been reviewed; Mr. Bremer stated
that the statements were not audited by an outside accounting
firm.
Vice Mayor Harmening then reviewed the recent newspaper articles
which reported defaults and he expressed his belief that Quantum
Park is experiencing financial woes and he cannot believe that
Quantum will ever be a viable enterprise. He also does not
believe that Quantum meets the requirement of compactness and
alsked City Attorney Cherof for his interpretation of the term.
Mr. Cherof stated that the district is not compact but that it
Contains enclaves and holes; however, the statute qualifies this
requirement by saying that it must be "sufficiently compact",
Which is something only the Commission can decide.
Vice Mayor Harmening stated that property owners association and
awners at Quantum Park are delivering services and facilities to
~xisting clients and customers and he does not feel the CDD is
needed to perform this function.
~ommissioner Artis asked City Manager Scott Miller if the City
Stands to lose tax dollars if the CDD is created. His response
Was that the proportionate cost of the infrastructure that the
~ity would lose would be $1800.

JULY 16, 1991
Mayor Weiner related that she had asked Mr. Bremer after his
examination of the financial statements if he could make a recom-
mendation one way or another to the Commission and he responded
that he could not. Mr. Bremer confirmed this.
Commissioner Matson related that in a discussion with Planning
Director Chris Cutro he stated to her that there are no other com-
mercial parcels in the City that could qualify as a CDD, which
she feels answers the question of setting a precedent. She then
reported that there is a similar district in Boca Raton of 54
acres which had a tax base in 1990 of $287,376 in ad valorem
taxes plus utility taxes and franchise taxes. Commissioner
Matson stated that she has looked at this very openly and has
done much research and she cannot find how this will hurt the
City.
Commissioner Aguila expressed his feeling on this very compli-
cated issue, stating that he is comfortable with statements con-
tained in the petition. He believes the CDD is the best alternative
based on the facts before the Commission and the economic
situation today and that this is the best possible solution to
Quantum Park and in the best interest of the citizens of Boynton
Beach.
Commissioner Artis stated that people in District 2 suffer most
from taxes and do not get their fair share of tax dollars. She
feels that if the CDD is a means of providing jobs and keeping
the children off the corner, the CDD should be approved.
Mayor Weiner expressed how she had spent much time and given long
consideration to all aspects of the Quantum Park proposal for a
cDD. She discussed the letter that the Assistant City Manager had
received answering their concerns. She had a concern with finan-
Cial viability of Deutsch-Ireland. They wrote back that they
libel the economic model and studies provided by Dr. Fishkind con-
f!~rm the financial viability of the district and its intended
purpose and that over the next two weeks they would demonstrate
the practical applicability of the economic program prepared by
the professionals. They indicated they had no doubt they would
be able to show the results of creating the CDD and the issuance
o~ the appropriate bonds will be a lowering of the purchase price
and acceleration of sales within Quantum Corporate Park. Since
ri~ceipt of that letter dated July 5, no further information has
been received from Quantum Park. She is concerned that
Deutsch-Ireland will be tied up in extensive, expensive litiga-
tlion with other projects in the foreseeable future. Mayor Weiner
fieels a precedent will be set by allowing this developer access
t.o tax exempt bonds and other developers will come to the City
ai~king for the same approval. Mayor Weiner doubts that the State
o~ Florida will allow a bond issue of $45 million to be sold on

JULY 16, 1991
Quantum Park's infrastructure. The hard costs of the infrastruc-
ture were $13 million plus $8 million in land costs but Quantum
Park is asking for $32 million which includes soft costs, attor-
neys' fees, and accountants' fees. She posed questions, i.e.
will the CDD be liable if the State only allows the sale of bonds
f~or the actual costs connected with the infrastructure; and what
if the bond issue does not sell. Mayor Weiner concluded by
alsking the Commission to carefully weigh all the ramifications of
their decision and steel themselves to face the consequences of
their action.
MOTI ON
Vice Mayor Harmening moved that the Commission forward this
matter to the Governor and Cabinet sitting as the Land and Water
Adjudicatory Commission so the Commission will not have to
decide. Mayor Weiner passed the gavel to Commisioner Artis and
seconded the motion.
At Commissioner Artis' request, Mr. Cherof explained the motion.
The City at any time within 90 days of the filing of the petition
may opt out of making the decision and can forward the issue to
~he Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission to make that
decision. If the motion were to pass, the City could not do
anything to create or to prevent the creation of the District.
The decision would be made by the Governor and Cabinet.
A vote was taken on-the motion and the motion failed 3-2. The
dissenting votes were cast by Commissioners Artis, Matson and
Aguila.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve the CDD on second reading.
Commissioner Matson seconded the motion. A vote was taken on the
motion and the motion carried 3-2. Mayor Weiner and Vice Mayor
Harmening cast the dissenting votes.
