INTRODUCTION
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has prepared this rapmt to suppo~ establishing a
transportation concurrency exception area (TCEA) for the City of Boynton Beach
and the Boynton Beach Commll~ity Redevelopment Agency (CRA). A location map
of the proposed TCEA is presented in Figure 1.
The City of Boynton Beach and the BoynWn Beach CRA are initiating several
progressive redevelopment plans within the designated Community Redevelopment
Area consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Boynton Beach, The
intent of the redevelopment initiatives is to build a livable, mmtainable commxlnity
and to provide a catalyst for redevelopment and growth within the CRA and more
specifically within the proposed TCEA boundaries.
To achieve the redevelopment goals of the City and the CRA, the proposed TCEA
will promote allowable residential and commercial densities and an integrated mix of
land uses while enhancing non-automobile modes of Wavel. Although the core of the
CRA redevelopment plans and the transportation strategies for the proposed TCEA
will support a more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly environment and increase multi-
modal tnmsponation options, the redevelopment plans will ultimately generate
additional vehicular Waffle impacts upon the transportation network of Boynton
Beach and the surrounding area. The Justification Report presents the potential
impacts of the City's redevelopment plans and the TCEA and identifies feasible
transportation and planning strategies to mitigate the impacts.
To the fullest extent poss~le, the City will depart from conventional transportation
planning and engineering philosophy to achieve its goals. In fact, State legislation
and the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan acknowledge that redevelopment
goals cannot be fully attained with a conventional automobile-based approach like
traffic concurrency. The TCEA will give the City and the CRA an essential tool to
meet the goals of infill development and redevelopment while minimizing the
044349005 Page 1
Kimley-Horn
and Associates, Inc,
negative consequences of concurrency.
Several mixed-use urban redevelopment projects have already been identified within
the downtown area of Boynton Beach. The projects include the Marina Village and
the Arches. Both projects are approved as mixed-use developments located near the
intersection of Federal Highway (US 1) and Ocean Avenue. Marina Village and The
Arches are the first projects serving as a foundation for Boynton Beach's
redevelopment efforts. Designation of the TCEA will fiuXher promote the City's
envisioned redevelopment along the Intracoastal waterfront, Boyaton Beach
Boulevard, Semerest Boulevard, and FederaIHighway (US 1) corridors. Such mixed-
use redevelopment initiatives will support the internalization of project trips as well
as non-vehicular medes of travel. Such a desired mix of residential and non-
residential land uses will maximi?e origins and destinations within the downtown
core and fur~er reduce trips requiring travel west of 1-95.
This report provides the d_a_~ and analysis to support the vision of the CRA by
amending the City's Comprehensive Plan to create the TCEA. This report was
prepared in accordance with Section 15(I)N of the Palm Beach County Land
Development Regulations (Traffic Performance Standards), Rule 9J-5 of the Florida
Administrative Code, and the requirements of the Florida Statutes as administered by
th~ Department of Commulfity Affairs.
The TCEA designation is being pursued under Rule 9J-5.0055(6)(a)2 of the Florida
Administrative Code as a specific geographic area delineated in the comprehensive
plan for urban redevelopment area containing not more than forty percent
developable vacant land.
044349005 Page 2
TCEA BACKGROUND
In 1985, the Florida State Legislature enacted legislation to help ensure that
adequate public facilities such as roads, sewers, and water were funded and
constructed concurrent with the development that each facility services.
Specifically, the intent of the transportation concurrency legislation was to slow and
ultimately reduce urban sprawl and maintain the adopted level of service for
automobiles. After 1985, the State and several counties realized that this rather
innovative, but blunt growth management instrument was contributing to sprawl and
hindering other planning initiatives such as redevelopment.
Experience with concurrency management has revealed that downtown
revitalization and urban redevelopment projects are frequently denied approval
because of the inability to meet the traffic concurrency requirements and maintain
the associated level of service. Meanwhile, motor vehicle capacity is generally
available in outlying areas. This has created a situation where traffic concurrency
has become an obstacle to local, regional, and State promotion of compact growth in
urban areas and the preservation of agricultural land and open space. This is
especially problematic for older coastal communities in Florida where the potential
for redevelopment is the greatest. To further support the need to redevelop these
coastal communities, the South Florida Regional Planning Council, in conjunction
with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council received support from Dade,
Broward, and Palm Beach Counties for the "Eastward Ho!" initiative to focus on
revitalization of Southeast Florida's urban, coastal core. Consequently, it was
realized that exceptions to traffic concurrency were necessary and developed
transportation concurrency exception areas (TCEAs) to minimize the negative
consequences of traffic concurrency.
The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) under Rule 9J-5 administers
execution of the TCEA designation process as established in the Florida Growth
Management Act. In addition, Chapter 163.3180(5)(b), Florida Statutes, addresses
exceptions from concurrency, as stated below:
044349005 Page 4
A local government may grant an exception from the concurrency
requirement for transportation facilities if the proposed development is
otherwise consistent with the adopted local government comprehensive
plan and is a project that promotes public transportation or is located
within an area designated in the comprehensive plan for:
1. Urban infill development,
2. Urban redevelopment,
3. Downtown revitalization, or
4. Urban infill and redevelopment under s. 163.2517.
Purpose of the TCEA
In accordance with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards
Ordinance (TPSO), Rule 9J-5, and the Florida Statutes, the purpose of the Boynton
Beach TCEA is to:
Reduce the adverse impact transportation concurrency may have on urban
infill development and redevelopment and the achievement of other goals
and policies of the state comprehensive plan, such as promoting the
development of public transportation. [Rule 9J-5.0055(6)]
The Palm Beach County TPSO currently allows a transportation concurrency
exception for all residential development east of 1-95, which includes the Boynton
Beach CRA. The residential concurrency exception is meant to encourage
residential development east of 1-95 in existing urban service areas to alleviate
development pressure on the western areas of the County.
The residential exception is laudable, as well as necessary. However, the CRA
believes that without the additional provision of retail, commercial, office,
recreational, and entertainment within the area, the CRA cannot achieve the City's
full cultural, social, or economic development potential. The CRA needs to be
strengthened by allowing a mix of land uses that sustain one another from an
economic market standpoint.
044349005 Page 5
It is the CRA's vision that mixed-use development in the community redevelopment
area will provide a larger market for transit. With the anticipated increase in the
number of city residents within the CRA, there will be increased demand for bus,
rail, and other public transit providers. This demand will reduce the reliance on
automobiles for individual transportation needs, and in turn, increase the need for
additional development of facilities for non-automotive modes of transportation
such as walking and bicycling. In addition, the redevelopment of the CRA will
increase the need for a cohesive intermodal transportation system to connect Tri-
Rail, Palm Tran, and a community transit circulator.
Once a TCEA is adopted, a proposed development located within a designated
exception area shall not be subject to traffic concurrency requirements. According to
Rule 9J-5 and the Florida Statutes, a TCEA may include a Community
Redevelopment Area (CRA), such as the CRA established in Boynton Beach, when
it is located within an urban redevelopment area or existing urban service area
designated in the local comprehensive plan.
The City has purposely departed from conventional transportation planning and
engineering philosophy to achieve its redevelopment goals and support the proposed
TCEA. In fact, the City believes that the redevelopment goals cannot be attained
with a conventional automobile-based approach. In other words, the City cannot
simultaneously achieve its redevelopment goals in the CRA area and maintain
adopted levels of service for automobiles.
TCEA Designation and Boundaries
The TCEA is proposed within the existing Boynton Beach CRA boundaries.
Currently, the CRA is approximately 1,600 acres. The boundaries of the TCEA
encompass approximately 669 acres of the CRA (or 41 percent of the CRA area).
The areas of the CRA that are west of 1-95 or programmed only for residential
044349005 Page 6
redevelopment have not been included within the proposed TCEA. The TCEA
boundary is illustrated in Figure 2.
Consistent with the requirement for a TCEA designation for urban redevelopment
[Rule 9J-5.0055(6)(a)2], the proposed TCEA is within an existing urban service
area which does not contain more than 40 percent developable, vacant land. Based
on 2003 land use information maintained by the City of Boynton Beach in a GIS
database with information provided by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser,
the current developable, vacant land (approximately 83 acres) is only approximately
12% of the total area within the proposed TCEA.
The City is investing time and money to realize its vision for the CRA. The
boundary of the TCEA is used to designate the geographic scope of the City's
current redevelopment plans, and to encourage the application of a wide range of
planning strategies that correspond with local circumstances within this specific
area. From this standpoint, it is natural for the City and the CRA to pursue a
TCEA.

City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan
The current Comprehensive Plan for the City of Boynton Beach demonstrates the
City's strong desire to revitalize and redevelop the areas within the CRA and
specifically within the proposed TCEA. Objective 1.9 of the Future Land Use
Element states:
The City shall eliminate blighted residential neighborhoods and business
districts through the adoption and implementation of Community
Redevelopment Plans including the Boynton Beach 20/20 Redevelopment
Master Plan and the Coastal Management Element to guide development
and redevelopment along the Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue
corridors, within the commercial and residential Community
Redevelopment Areas, and within the vicinity of US 1 and Martin Luther
King Boulevard. [City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan]
Adopted Future Land Use Element policies under are as follows:
o Objective 1.9 further establishes the importance of a revitalized urban area
and improved quality of life that will result from implementation of the
CRA's redevelopment plans.
o Objective 1.13 supports the creation of a compact urban area within the
City.
o Objective 1.22 establishes policies that support the New Urban principles of
the Visions 20/20 Redevelopment Plan prescribing a walkable community
and a mixed-use development component.
Subsequent redevelopment plans including the Federal Highway (US 1) Corridor
Community Redevelopment Plan, and the Heart of Boynton Beach Community
Redevelopment Plan continue to strive for the same goals.
It is apparent that many of the currently adopted objectives and policies within the
City's Comprehensive Plan already support the creation of a TCEA to assist in
making the redevelopment goals a reality. Approval of the TCEA for formal
inclusion into the Comprehensive Plan is the next step in this process.
044349005 Page 9
TCEA Goa~
It is the City's transportation vision to provide a transportation system that supports
the economic, social, and sustainability goals of the CRA. The CRA goals include
the following:
· Encourage opportunities for economic development within the CRA.
· Achieve a balanced mix of sustainable and functional land uses.
· Build a balanced transportation system equally accommodating all modes.
· Provide a wider choice of transportation modes.
· Improve the quality of life for existing and future residents by providing a
pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly environment.
· Create safe and attractive streets by reducing the negative effects of motor
vehicles and increasing the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists.
The goals of the proposed TCEA include the following:
· Mitigate the impacts of the TCEA on the transportation system within the
TCEA and the surrounding areas.
· Allow a departure from conventional transportation planning and
engineering philosophy toward context-sensitive, community-oriented
transportation planning and engineering.
· Increase the viability of all non-automobile transportation modes.
· Improve and enhance the pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the TCEA
and provide connections to facilities adjacent to the TCEA.
· Recommend modifications to the City's land development regulations to
require developments within the TCEA to provide pedestrian connections to
the City's sidewalk network and support public transit, either by providing
infrastructure or contributing to the operations.
· Encourage a hierarchy of transportation modes for street designs and
transportation priorities in the following order: pedestrians, bicycles, public
044349005 Page 10
transit, high-occupancy vehicles and taxis, and lastly, single-occupancy
automobiles.
· Reduce dependency on automobiles.
· Achieve slower and steadier motor vehicles speeds through design.
· Utilize traffic calming to reduce motor vehicle collision frequency and
severity and improve the safety and perception of safety of non-motorized
users of the streets.
· Reduce the need for police traffic enforcement through street design.

City of Boynton Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency
Direct Incentive Program
Revised 2/26/2004
The Boynton Beach CRA seeks to encourage large-scale projects, which define new
markets, quality, innovation and character in the CRA area. It is recognized that many
times these benchmark projects require new and untested market assumptions, which
have no local comparable. This condition often requires market support to make the
projects feasible in the early years. Accordingly, this Program is focused on support for
qualified, benchmark projects during their initial stages. As defined by the focus of this
Program, projects' which directly compete with existing projects, or that do not open new
markets or that do not set new higher project quality standards in the view of the CRA,
may not receive maximum consideration.
The dream of home ownership or affordable housing rental is on the brink of becoming
an endangered species for many American families. The dream is becoming elusive
because many moderate income families cannot qualify for a mortgage or afford the
monthly payments.
Wages
are insufficient which puts these families 30% over the

required 32% average house payment to income ratio. A rapidly growing population, flat
growth of incomes and growing housing prices are some of the variables that have
contributed to this new reality.
In response to this emerging plight, many programs have surfaced under many names:
Work Force Housing, Affordable Housing, Low Income housing, etc. Whatever the
labels attached to such programs, the common underlying trend is the attempt to make
housing affordable to the moderate to median income level population.
Boynton Beach and its residents are not shielded from this plight. In light of the recent
redevelopment, and real estate appreciation approaching 14% annually, the challenge
of Affordable Access Space is an immediate reality.
A common misconception is that this issue of affordability is only residential and one
dimensional. Traditionally, when faced with an aggressive redevelopment plan, cities
use Iow income housing as the only measure of the total aid which they provide to the
displaced. Little or no thought is given to the local business community. Many times
the local flavor of most cities disappears when the unique local business base is
displaced. New space rent rates can cost many times more than pre-redevelopment
rates. Survival of a downtown business in a redeveloped area is contingent upon
gradual increase in overhead not an immediate and drastic increase in their fixed costs.
It is a proven.fact that it costs less to keep a quality customer than it costs to secure a
new one. The same premise could be applied to the concept of keeping the quality
businesses that currently exist in a pre-redevelopment area. While new businesses are
attractive, it wilt take them time to build a customer base and a loyal following. The
opposite is true of the existing businesses that already have brand loyalty. An
Affordable. Access Program rewards a developer for making available a percentage of
the project at below market rate to create an opportunity for a local business with its
built-in customer base to remain is a win-win solution. 483?

In an effort to provide a more comprehensive community benefit program, the CRA
Direct Incentive Program requires an Affordable Access component be addreSsed by
applicants.
This Incentive Program seeks to better the public elements in private development
projects therefore; projects having a site in excess of 87,120 square feet (two acres) are
required to have "Public Amenity" elements (sidewalks, alley and streets do not qualify.)
These elements will be considered as part of "Project Quality" scoring.
Projects will be scored by Program Criteria, which is defined in the Program
Guidelines. The Project's score will' determine how much, if any, of the eligible
incentive the Project may receive. APPLICATION TO THIS PROGRAM IS NO
GUARANTEE OF FUNDING. FUNDING IS AT THE SOLE DISCRETION' OF THE
CRA BOARD.

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
Upon approval by the CRA Board and completion of required documents and execution
thereof, the program will be generally administered as herein outlined. Specific
guidelines wilt be contained in final program contract documents.
Establishing the Project's New TIF Revenue Eligible for Incentive:
The Annual TIF Revenue eligible for the Direct Incentive Program shall be established
by subtracting the tax revenues received in the year the agreement is approved and
signed for the project site(s) from the actual new annual revenues received by the CRA.
This new revenue increment is then multiplied times the Program's Incentive
Percentage. The Incentive is calculated each year based on actual tax revenues
received.
Establishing the Projected Incentive Percentage:
Each completed Application will be scored by the CRA Board in a public meeting. Point
scores by the CRA Board members from each of the six criteria elements will be
individually averaged. The averaged element scores will be added together to
determine the total application score. This score will be expressed as a percentage; the
"Project Score Percentage". This Project Score Percentage is then multiplied by the
Incentive Program Percentage of 50%. The Incentive Program establishes 50% as the
maximum percentage of direct project TIF Revenues available to the Applicant. This
resulting percentage is the Incentive Percentage. For example; a Project Score of 100
pts or more equals 100%. The Project's 100% is multiplied by the Program's maximum
Incentive percentage of 50%. The resulting 50% is the Project's Incentive Percentage.
City of Soynton Beach 4843
Community Redevelopment Agency
Direct Incentive Program
2~'26/04
Page 8 o1' 19
Example #2:70 pts scored by the Project equals 70% of the 50% for a 35% Incentive
Percentage.
Establishing Annual Incentive Amount:
The Project's Incentive Percentage is multiplied times the new net TIF Funds received
annually by the CRA which are generated by the Project to yield that year's Cash
Incentive Amount. Note that incentives are defined as percentages of the new TIF
revenue increment as it is collected by the CRA, therefore, any dollar figures calculated
prior to project completion and its listing on the tax roll', are only estimates.
Establishing Annual Incentive DisburSement Amounts for the Incentive Period:
The incentive shall be normally disbursed in ten (10) annual installments after required
actions have been completed by the Applicant, unless incentive funds are tO be paid
prior to Project Completion. The Project Applicant may request that the Incentive be
"Front Loaded" to respond to early Project needs. Generally, if approved, Front Loading
will begin in the first year that tax revenues are received by the CRA. A Front Loading
request for this Incentive Program does not mean funds loaned to the Project
prior to completion and tax enrollment.
The method of calculating "Front Loading" will be to project the ten year TIF Revenue to
the CRA based on the first year's assessed property tax revenue times the Project's
Incentive Percentage (Generated by the Project's score received from the CRA Board).
The Annual Incentive Amount is adjusted to follow the "Front Loading" percentage
schedule. The Front Loading Formula is: 75% first year and second years, 60% third
and fourth years, 50% fifth and sixth year, 40% seventh and eighth year, and 25% ninth
and tenth years. The percentage shall not exceed 75% of the new increment tax
revenue for any single year; however, the cumulative incentive shall not exceed 50% of
the new assessed increment's tax revenues over the entire incentive pedod. The
taxable value is monitored annually prior to the incentive award to 'assure that any
movement in value will be reflected in the calculation.

Incentive Disbursement Schedule:
The Earned Incentives will be dispersed no later than April 1st of the year following the
corresponding tax year.
Affordable Access Incentive:
The following are definitions for the Affordable Access Incentive Elements:
· Affordable Access Incentive rewards Projects for below market access by the
public to a defined portion of the Project. The Affordable Access Incentive shall
be scored by analyzing the amount of Project's set aside area eligible for
discount pricing. The ratio of the Project's set-aside area and amount of
discount will be plotted on the CRA Project Scoring Graph for Affordable Access
to determine points scoring.
· Uses shall be defined by three basic categories. Those uses shall be
Residential, Commercial and Retail/Restaurant. Each use shall be scored
separately for Affordable Access (amount of area and amount of discount) and
analyzed using the appropriate matrix graph corresponding to the number of
uses contained in the Proiect. Projects containing mixed uses shall have the
Affordable Access scores for each use added together for the Total Category
Scoring,
· The Project must score at least 2 pts in this Affordable Access category to
be eligible for Direct Incentives. The maximum number of points for this
category of the Direct Incentive Program shall be 20 pts.
· Project Set Aside Percentage shall be defined as the area (square footage)
available for market discounts divided by the total area (square footage) in the
Project for the same type of usage.
· Market Pricing shall be the average actual or projected market or retail price per
square feet for each of the uses within the Project.
· The Discount Percentage is figured as the discounted pricing per square foot
offered by the Project divided by the average rental or sale rate per square foot
of the like-kind area within the Project.

Re:
Consideration of the Business Genesis Program
Date:
February 26, 2004
The Business Genesis Program is ready to move forward. The demand has been
· overwhelming for this Program. Staff has fully restructured the operating plan. The plan
uses two Selection Committees to identify both the volunteer mentors and to select the
first year's Business Genesis Participants. Paid consultants have been rePlaced with
volunteer mentors. Program Partners are the Chamber, FAU & FAU Cure. The CRA is
the coordinating body and sole funding source. Additional grant and sponsorship funds
may be secured, however, are not considered in budgeting at this time. Our current
budget has funding for this-proposed Program.
The Program includes a Development Fair to bring together CRA Area developers with
Boynton Beach business owners. The goal is to ensure local businesses have a
significant presence in the CRA Area redevelopment projects. Staff would like to move
forward with the Program execution.

Business "Genesis" Program
Premise:
The "New Urbanism" many times lacks the reality of providing for basic needs that were
traditionally found in historic downtown "Main Street" urban centers. These needs have been
pushed aside for boutique shops, national credit tenants, high-end services, and up-scale
restaurants. Often the small, local businesses which used to deliver needs-based products,
services and more importantly the charm and unique character of the community are removed
from redevelopment areas in favor of outside boutique stores and services.
Further, many times cities' development codes for "New Urbanism" in redevelopment areas
exclude many "Needs Based" businesses instead of creatively incorporating them into the new
redevelopment fabric. The trend to remove local existing businesses is fueled by the fact that
many of those businesses affected by redevelopment do not evolve with redevelopment market
trends. Therefore, the two-fold impact of physical redevelopment, the change embedded in the
"New Urbanism" trend, and lack of response by existing "Needs Based" business creates an
unfavorable economic environment in which these businesses cease to exist. As a result, the
redevelopment area has plenty of high-end restaurants and shops, but is left lacking in basic
services to support a truly viable and sustainable urban city.
It is now acknowledged by many planning practitioners, developers and communities that these
very businesses are the necessary cornerstones for a successful redevelopment effort. It is a
proven fact that it costs less to keep a quality customer than it costs to get a new one. The
same premise can be applied to the concept of keeping the quality businesses that currently
exist in a pre-redevelopment area. VVhile new businesses are attractive, it will take them time to
build a customer base and a loyal following. The opposite is true of the existing business as
they already have brand loyalty.
The Business Genesis Program therefore will provide a substantial benefit not only to the local
existing businesses, but also to the developer and the community.
4857
Business Genesis Program
Page 2 of 35
Economic realities and strategies must address the issue of economic feasibility from both the
business and developedlandlord perspectives. Economic concepts for enabling retention in
redevelopment areas are:
· Business Genesis Program: The Business Genesis Program has been created to make
businesses more profitable to, in part, be able to pay higher rental rates found in
Redevelopment Areas.
· Direct Developer Incentives to provide below market rental rates: New space rent
rates can cost many times more than pre-redevelopment rates. Survival of a downtown
business in a redeveloped area is contingent upon gradual increase in overhead; not an
immediate and drastic increase in their fixed costs. The CRA's Direct Incentive's
Affordable Access elements reward developers who make available a percentage of the
project at below market rate, thereby creating, an opportunity for a local business to
remain and/or be created.
· Economic Development Grants: Grants for capital improvements have been secured
to reduce overhead costs. The Development Regions Grant Program, which is a
matching grant Program through the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
and Palm Beach County Economic Development Office, is designed to stimulate
economic growth and increase business opportunities.
The project must create jobs which will improve the quality of life for local citizens.
Eligible business projects are start-ups or existing businesses which are involved in
relocation and/or expansion, plans to purchaselleaseloccupylbuild or renovate property
and to hire new and/or retain employees.
The applicant can apply for reimbursement for the following eligible activities: acquisition
of real property, construction, renovation, site development cost, impact fee payment,
machinery/equipment and public improvements such as parking, lighting, beautification,
infrastructure and a fac,,ade Program.
Business project owners must match the County and CRA funds. County funds cannot
exceed 30% of the project cost and the CRA funds are a minimum 15% of the project
cost.
Each project must create permanent full-time/equivalent positions and maintain jobs for a
'minimum of 24 months. Each project may request $20,000 in grant funds ($10,000
County and $10,000 CRA) for approved project uses per each full-time/equivalent job
created. The Program has a maximum combined grant total of $100,000 per application.
Special Loan prOgrams: Sources will be identified for lending sources supportive of the
Business Genesis Program. The banking and investment community will be briefed on
the Program's mission and participants' potential needs.
Business Genesis Program
Page 3 of 35
Mission:
To create a Mentodng Team of highly qualified/successful/active business professionals to one-
on-one counsel a targeted group of interested local businesses.
To facilitate and encourage business development for improvement of core competencies of
existing businesses in the Central Business District and the Heart of Boynton District to ensure
that they can survive and flourish once proposed redevelopment for the area is a reality.
To create a Program that measures the impact of redevelopment on local, existing, "needs
based" businesses before, dudng and after redevelopment activities.
Goals:
· To increase the survival rate of existing and "needs based" businesses in the
Redevelopment Area.
· To provide businesses with the tools and resources necessary to compete successfully
with the new companies that are typically attracted to a redeveloped area.
· To provide accurate data reflecting the effect of CRAs on redevelopment neighborhoods
(historically not measured).
· To provide the Business Genesis Program consulting resources free of charge to
participants.
· To provide impact findings as a benchmark to organizations nationally.
4859
Business Genesis Program
Page 4 of 35
Genesis Operating Plan
Program Description:
Business Genesis Program is proposed as a Business Development Program that has two
functions. The Program is first concerned with the maintenance and survival of the existing
businesses in the areas targeted for redevelopment. Secondly, the Program will generate data
for a realistic assessment of how redevelopment truly affects local businesses in the CRA areas.
In light of the proposed redevelopment of the CBD and Heart of Boynton areas, the business
development program is designed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual
businesses and design tools that, if followed, will help to secure a future in the area and
compete effectively with new businesses that relocate to the area. It will assist businesses to
develop an awareness of changing trends, demographic needs and help to .capitalize on
opportunities created by the impending redevelopment.
The Program by design, funding and implementation will be a joint venture among several
partners. Some partners that have initially been identified are the Boynton Beach Chamber of
Commerce, Florida Atlantic University CURE (Center for Urban Redevelopment and Education)
and The Small Business Association for Micro Business. The Partners will serve as a conduit for
qualified and interested Business Mentors as well as provide selection panelists.
Florida University CURE will bring to the partnership the ability and the technology to analyze
and quantify the program data. They have also been identified as a source for Graduate Interns
who will assist the selected businesses with the hands on logistics of implementing the
programs recommended by the Business Mentors.
The Small Business Association and FAU CURE will also serve as an additional resource for
the Businesses who have been identified as needing traditional business training. These
organizations have existing business training programs that have a proven track record.
486O
Business Genesis Program
Page 5 of 35
The Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce will be a resource of successful Business Mentors
to help small and emerging businesses downtown and in the Heart of Boynton area. In addition,
the Chamber will help choose mentors and assess business surveys to select the round one
Business Genesis participants. The Chamber will also help to identify and secure other
business resources, classes, etc. for the Program Participants. The Chamber will aid in the
design and implementation of the Development Fair which is ~tn event to introduce local
businesses (in the entire Boynton area) to CRA developers in an attempt to showcase
opportunities in the redeveloped CRA Areas and to introduce businesses to the projects coming
on line.
The CRA Director and Staff will serve as the coordinating body for the Program. Along with the
development and maintenance of Program documentation, the CRA will serve as a liaison
among the Partners and mentors. The CRA will be a matching funding source of sponsorship
and grant dollars. The logistics, as it relates to the operating of the program, will fall under the
responsibilities of the CRA. Those responsibilities will include: three positions (the CRA
Director, Administrative Assistant and Volunteer Board Member) on the Business Mentors
Selection Panel, providing three positions (the CRA Director, Administrative Assistant and
Volunteer Board Member) on round one Business Genesis Participants Selection Panel and
maintenance of the electronic tracking system used by the Business Mentors to document their
one-on-one activities with the Program Participants. The CRA shall market the Program, seek
Sponsorships/Grants/Matching Funds and Resources and be the Public Relations Partner.
Selection of Business Mentors:
The CRA Staff, Chamber of Commerce, FAU and FAU Micro will seek Mentors from the region
and gather background resumes and references from perspective participants. The Selection
Committee of seven (7) for the Mentors is proposed to be comprised of one CRA Board
Member, two CRA Staff, the Executive Director of the Boynton Beach Chamber, FAU/FAU
Micro and the President of BODA. At the invitation of the Selection Committee, interested
persons would submit a letter of interest citing their qualifications and the reasons he or she
feels inclined to be a mentor in the Program. Third party references and recommendations will
be required. 486!
Business Genesis Program
Page 6 of 35
The businesses will be interviewed for final selection by a' Panel consisting of the CRA Director,
the Program Manager, one CRA Board Member, FAU, FAU Micro Business Program, thc
Chamber of Commerce Executive Director and the Program's volunteer Mentors. The first
group of business finalists will be set not to exceed twenty (20). The final list is anticipated to be
from ten (10) to sixteen (16).
Since the success rate of the participants will be critical to future Program continuation, the
CPA's preference is to work with a smaller group to ensure that the Program's funding effort is
spent in the most effective manner. Several constraints dictate that such a focused group
should be used for the first year of the Genesis Program. First, limited initial funding will affect
the Program size. Second, the Program is designed for Program Business Mentors to spend
quality time; "one-on-one" with the businesses. Thus, a smaller number of participants will
make it possible for the Business Mentors to spend more time with the owners and be more
responsive to their needs. To maximize the business mentor's time and other limited program
resources, graduate level interns will be available to assist the businesses with more time-
consuming projects.
Program Consulting Delivery Concepts:
Historically, many of the existing Programs available to businesses require time away from their
place of business on a regular basis and provide no assistance in solution management and
implementation. The Program's highly experienced Business Mentors are "hands-on." They
are expected to develop close bonds with the participants. The Mentoring Team may suggest
the participants attend workshops, existing Programs and/or other available resources in
support of their business's growth; however, the primary focus of the team is to bring significant
insight and analytical tool sets to the business, which are normally unobtainable for small niche
entities. This comprehensive strategic vision provides the participants with concepts,
knowledge, solutions and the ability to execute; thereby not only being a success, but also
becoming a result orientated business over achiever.
The businesses will be required to spend a minimum of two hours per month with team Mentors.
The Business Mentors shall meet monthly with each participant; this may be one or more team
4863
Business Genesis Program
Page 8 of 35
members at a time. Business Mentors will have hours available for contact at a minimum of two
days a week and at approximately two hours per day or as hours are needed. Once a month, a
one hour roundtable meeting will be held with all participants and Mentor Team members to
exchange success, failures and things learned over the past month.
The Mentoring Team will track the business's progress and develop in conjunction with CRA
staff and FAU interns a confidential electronic data file on each participant. This will better direct
team member resources and serve to evaluate overall Program success. The team members
will meet monthly to review, update, and add to the partiCipant's file. This meeting will be held
just prior to the monthly roundtable.
Participant Commitments and Requirements:
Each participant, after the initial meetings with the team members, will be assisted in developing
a strategic vision and establish measurable goals. The business's beginning reference points
and end points will be recorded and analyzed for evaluation of the project's effectiveness.
Monthly meetings to review these indicators will help direct Business Mentors, resources, etc.
Businesses that do not, in the opinion of the Mentoring Team and the Selection Committee,
sustain a concentrated effort will be dropped from the Program. However, the team shall make
every effort to encourage continued participation and will document its concerns and attempts to
remedy.
A participating business shall demonstrate the following:
· Requires willingness-to openly share confidential information with Business Mentors.
· Boynton Beach Chamber Membership and/or Boynton Ocean District Association
Member (If location is within BODA boundaries).
· Proper time management to meet with the Mentodng Team each month.
· Be open to act on recommendations from the Team.

The initial business survey has been designed by the CRA Staff to identify current effective and
ineffective trends, overall performance, and needs of each business. Target area businesses
shall have one-on-one assistance by the CRA to ensure completion if needed.
CRA Staff and the Program's Partner will develop a Program Evaluation format to measure
Program Elements. The Program will be evaluated at different junctures of the Program's life
cycle to provide "mid" point analysis of impacts better tract impacts.
Program Evaluation Periods · Current Status
· Year One
· Year Three
· Year Five
Phase I1: Participant Survey Analysis and First Year Participant Selection (1 month)
This phase of work will entail the compilation of the data from the completed business surveys
with a summary of results to be completed by staff and interns within three weeks of the
proposed response deadline. They will be ranked as to the Program participation criteria and

agreed-upon plan of action and will establish an estimated time frame. The program begins as
the mentor's meet with the businesses to more specifically discuss needs and initiate suggested
plan of action (i.e., the marketing specialist will assess marketing needs and develop a
marketing strategy for the business, etc.)
Phase IV: Program One-on-One Consulting: (14 months)

progress, issues and needs. Team members will meet monthly to review each client's progress.
A closed, secured and confidential online database will be developed to track progress of
Program and individual businesses, as well as to provide a vehicle for the Business Mentors to
have real time access to information regarding the details of all assistance given to each
business. Workshop resources on specific topics pertaining to the needs of business owners will
be identified such as the Chamber of Commerce, Flodda Atlantic University, SBA, The Palm
Beach Resource Center, etc.

reached. A written report on the Program's results will be due no later than September Ist,

Event: Local Boynton Beach Businesses and identified CRA Developers will be asked by the
Program to attend a "Development Fair." Note that inviting all local Boynton Businesses may
bring additional local Businesses into the CRA area, therefore, the fair's business invitation is
anticipated to extend beyond the CRA Area.
The Development Fair will be designed as an interactive exchange between existing/potential
CRA Developers and local business owners. Attendees will get the opportunity to meet the
developers and discuss the potential of their business becoming a part of new development
projects. Developers will have the opportunity to get to know local Businesses interested in the
redevelopment area. The Business Genesis Program and Incentive/Grant Program will be
presented to better brief both groups (Businesses and Developers). At the Event, qualified CRA
Businesses will have the opportunity to fill out Phase I Survey for consideration for selection into
the Business Genesis Program.

Special Pilot Program for Police Patrol in Heart of Boynton
and the CBD.
March 9, 2004
During the July 2003 Board Meeting, the Board directed Staff to develop a Pilot
Program that addressed the security needs of the Central Business District and the
Heart of Boynton District. During that same meeting, Chief Marshall Gage of the
Boynton Beach Police Department presented three proposals to the Board. The
presentation highlighted the Staffing levels and zones that are comprised within the
CRA Area. While staffing has been increased in the Heart of Boynton District as part of
the regular services, the Chief felt that additional coverage would be necessary due to
"Special Conditions in the Area."
The proposal also noted that the terminated Bike and Foot patrol in the CBD could be
resurrected due to citizen's request and the additional elements that exist during a
redevelopment process. The Police report gave initial proposals ranging from $270,457
to $363,112 for each area.
The current revised "Pilot Program" highlights and addresses several issues not brought
to you before.
· All officers and equipment will be outfitted with distinguishable uniforms and CRA
logo. This will visually identify the teams as CRA special units.
· While the units are in CRA boundaries duty rotation they will be separate from
general rotation and non emergency calls in other parts of the City.
· The Program calls for four officers with two squad cars,, two patrol bikes with
necessary equipment, uniforms, office space with furnishings and supplies.
4891
The proposed cost of the "Pilot Program" is $75,000 for the Heart of Boynton District
and $75,000 in the Central Business District for the remainder of the 2003/2004 budget
year. Each District has a proposed budget of $125,000 for the 2005/2006 and will be
brought back to you for consideration at budget time.
The possibility of using a private Service Supplier for these services was investigated.
It was determined that using a private vendor, while cheaper, could have many adverse
affects which Chief Gage will elaborate on during his report to the Board on March 9th.

Site characteristics: The site is located within the Martin Luther' King Boulevard Overlay Zone
(MLKB). This overlay zone has been established, to specifically guide
development along this corridor consistent with direction from the Visions
20/20 Redevelopment Plan and the Heart of Boynton Community
Redevelopment Plan (See Exhibit'"D"). The site is composed of two (2) lots
totaling 0.32 acres. The site is cleared and is predominately vegetated with a
variety of overgrown grasses. There is no other vegetation of any
significance on the site.' 4753ff'

Memorandum No. PZ 04-050
Proposal:
The developer is proposing to construct a one (1) story, 3,090 square foot
church, excluding a proposed tower and a trellis area totaling 464 square
feet, to be located on a vacant 0.32-acre parcel. The proposed building
height is 29 feet - 1 inch, which is below the 30-foot maximum allowed in the
Martin Luther King Overlay Zone. The parking lot associated with the use is
proposed to be located at the rear of the church building (See Exhibit "B" -
Proposed Site Plan).
Concurrency:
a. Traffic-
A traffic statement for this project was submitted and sent to the Palm
Beach County Traffic Division for their review and approval. Staff has
received confirmation from Palm Beach County's Traffic Division
regarding standards compliance.
b. Drainage-
Conceptual drainage information was provided for the city's review.
The city's concurrency ordinance requires drainage certification at
time of site plan approval. The Engineering Division is recommending
that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred to time of
permit review.
D riveways:
The proposed project includes one (1) point of ingress / egress along Martin
Luther King Boulevard. The proposed entrance would be comprised of a
10.5-foot wide ingress lane and 10.5-foot egress lane separated by a striped
median in the center of the opening to direct vehicular traffic in and out of the
subject property.
Since the project is within the Community Redevelopment Agency
boundaries, the minimum required backup distance for parking lot drive
aisles is reduced from 27 feet to 24' feet in width, which the applicant has
provided.. The proposed on-site traffic circulation system includes one (1),
two-way drive aisle 21-feet in width. This drive aisle is proposed to extend
from the north and south property lines. Driveway circulation is proposed to
the rear of building.
Parking Facility:
The parking spaces required for the proposed project have been tabulated
based on the ratio of one (1) space per 100 square feet of gross floor area,
which is required for churches (Places of assembly). A 3,090 square foot
building would require a minimum of 31 spaces. However, since the Martin
Luther King Boulevard Overlay zone provides a 50% reduction in the number
of required parking spaces, the site plan proposes a total of 16 spaces for
the proposed use, which includes one (1) handicap space. All parking
spaces excluding the handicap space will be dimensioned at least nine (9)
feet by eighteen feet (9' x 18'), and will include wheel stops.
Landscaping:
4753gg
The landscaping of the site will fully meet the code requirements when staff
comments are incorporated. The proposed pervious or "green" area is 3,140
square feet or 22.4% of the total site. A 2.5-foot wide landscape buffer is
proposed a~ong the east and west property lines. This .landscape buffer
consists of 5 (five) Green Buttonwood trees along the west property line,
three (3) Satin Leaf trees along the east property line and Red Tip Cocoplum
shrubs to be planted at the base of the trees. Along the north property line a
Page 3
Deliverance by Faith Site Plan Review Staff Report
Memorandum No, PZ 04-050
five (5) foot wide buffer is provided. Within this buffer, the applicant will
provide the required six (6) foot masonry wall with Red Tip Cocoplum along
the northern property line of the site to separate the church use from. the
adjacent .residential zoning district to the north. The foundation planting for
the proposed building will include Pink Ixora, Wax Jasmine and Variegated
Dwarf Schefflera enhanced with accent trees such as Bougainvillea and
White Bird of Paradise. The development would be provided with the
required amount of perimeter and internal landscaping as required in the
Land Development Regulations, Chapter 7.5 Article I1.
Building and Site
Regulations:
The proposed building is designed as a one (1)-story church with a gable
roof. The top of the gable would be 29 feet one (1) inch in height. The
minimum building and site regulations in the C-2 zoning distdct require
minimum setbacks as follows: 30-foot front setback; 15-foot side setback;
and a 20-foot rear setback. However, the Martin Luther King Boulevard
Oveday Zone requires separate building and site regulations, which
encourage a reduction in the building setbacks to bdng the building closer to
the street. This results in a minimum front setback of 3 feet and a maximum
setback of 12 feet; a side setback ranging between 3 to 5 feet, and a
maximum of 12 feet for comer lots. No dumpster enclosure is proposed since
a trash room has been provided to store small, portable containers'in lieu of
a dumpster. The proposed building setbacks will fully meet the Martin Luther
King Boulevard Oveday Zone development standards. Additionally, building
and site regulations will fully meet code when staff comments are
incorporated into the permit drawings.
Community Design
Plan:
The proposed one-story building will have a maximum height of 29 feet - 1
inch measured to the roof peak. The proposed building is a traditional
design. It would have painted stucco facades the following three (3) colors:
· Lighting Bug (M.A.B. Paints 5059M), Canberra (M.A.B. Paints 5114Y) and
Desert Spring (M.A.B. Paints 5626M). The accent color, which includes the
cross in the proposed tower and the bottom of the proposed building wall, will
be Babbling Brook (M.A.B. Paints 5624P). All trim fascia, will be painted in a
semi-gloss white. The doors and windows including the frames will be white.
The roof will be constructed of light gray asphalt shingles. There is no
established architectural character within the area with which to compare the
proposed project, however, the Heart of Boynton Plan recommends a
"Floribbean" architectural style, which represents a combination of an "Old
Florida" and "Caribbean" influence. The proposed project does not exhibit the
elements of the "Floribbean" style~ Metal roofs, dormers, steep pitched
gabled, and hipped roofs, and exposed wood trusses are some of the
elements the Heart of Boynton Plan recommends for this redevelopment
area of the city.
Signage:
4753hh
No project monument sign is proposed. Any future signage will require
separate review and approval. However, the project proposes two (2) wall
signs on the proposed tower. On the west and south fa(}ades of the proposed
tower two (2) wall signs measuring 14 square feet are proposed depicting the
church's name. A board measuring 12 square feet is proposed on the
southeast fa(~ade describing the church service and related information. The
Page 4
Deliverance by Faith Site Plan Review Staff Report
Memorandum No. PZ 04-050
proposed wall signs would comply with sign standards including maximum
sign area and height as set forth in the Land Development Regulations,
Chapter 21.
RECOMMENDATION:
This project complies with all current code and Land Development Regulations. However, and most
significantly, the project is not consistent with the Heart of Boynton Community Redevelopment
Plan, which recommends the site of the proposed church be developed as part of a larger
"gateway" activity node consisting of an integrated commercial/mixed-use development (See Exhibit
"D"- Hearth of Boynton Plan Phase 1 MLK Boulevard Redevelopment Section). This
recommendation is in accordance with Chapter 2, Zoning. Section. 3.A. 7, which allows for adopted
redevelopment plans to supercede zoning regulations where such plans: "includes policies which
impose limitations or requirements on the use or development of property...which are more
restrictive than those set forth in zoning regulations". Therefore, the Planning and Zoning Division
recommends that this request for site plan approval be denied. If the proposed project is approved,
staff recommends that the approval'be subject to the'conditions listed in exhibit "C", attached
hereto.

not think that this would apply since the committee will be reviewing models, and Mr.
Aguila's firm was awarded a contract in response to an RFP.
Mr. Fisher asked Attorney Payne for her opinion on this. Attorney Payne was not' certain
and said that she would have to look into it. Mr. Hutchinson recommended that the item
be approved, pending legal's determination. If Attorney Payne determines that y Mr.
Aguila serving on the committee is a conflict of interest, he will be removed, and they
would proceed with the remaining members of the selection committee.

503 North Seacrest (LUAR 03-010)
Don Stacks
Edward Eatman III
503 North Seacrest
Request to amend the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map from Local Retail
Commercial (LRC) to Low Density Residential
(LDR) at 4.84 dwelling units per acre; and
Request to rezone from C-2 Neighborhood
Commercial to R-I-A Single': Family
Residential.
Proposed use is single-family residence.
Dick Hudson, Senior Planner, presented the item on behalf of staff. The property
consists of approximately 0.11 of an acre and classified as Local Retail Commercial
(LRC) and zoned C-2 (Neighborhood/Commercial). The request is to reclassify from
LRC to Iow density residential and to rezone from C-2 to R-lA (single family residential).
The applicant is making the request to be consistent with the current use of the
property, which is a single-family home. Mr. Hudson pointed out that the properties to
the north are designated LRC, but contain single-family residential. The properties
across Seacrest are designated Medium Density Residential and are developed with
both single-family homes and duplexes.
The current use is a single-family home that is a non-conforming use. Since the value
of the improvements on the property is less than $60,000, in accordance with the LDR,
Chapter 2, Section 11.1.C.8, a single-family home cannot be converted to commercial
use without a variance. The lot has remained as it currently exists since it was originally
platted in 1925 and does not meet the minimum lot standards for C-2 zoning. Mr.
Hudson pointed out that it would be very difficult to sell the property because lenders do
not normally lend on non-conforming properties.
Mr. Hudson reported that land use amendment and rezoning would be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan Policies and Objectives and in particular with the Heart of
Boynton Plan that designates that all land on the west side of Seacrest would be
rezoned for single-family residential. The property is non-conforming for commercial
development and there has been no market support for conversion to commercial along
the west side of Seacrest. This would have negligible impact upon the City as a whole
and staff recommends approval of both the Land Use Amendment and the Rezoning.

The applicant was present, but did not wish to speak.
Chairman Finkelstein opened up the public hearing. Since no one wished to speak, the
public hearing was closed.
Chairman Finkelstein inquired why this item originated and Mr. Hudson thought that the
applicant wanted to sell his property. Chairman Finkelstein noted that the Visions 20/20
Plan called for the same zoning. 'He envisioned Seacrest becoming similar to Swinton
Avenue in Delray Beach that would contain small offices fronting both sides of Seacrest,
north and south ef Boy, ton BeaO~ Boulevard. He was not in favor of having one
residential paroe! :m the middle of a retail zoned area .and did not agree with staff's
recommendation.
Mr. Hudson pointed out that the recent adopted Heart of Boynton Plan recommends
single family residences on the west side of Seacrest. Chairman Finkelstein had also
disagreed with that recommendal~n as well. Mr. DeMarco concurred with Chairman
Finkelstein and poioted out that the First Baptist Church, which is just sOUth of the
property, is being renovated and v~lt be generating a great deal of traffic. He also
foresees that this area might be needed for future commercial development and did not
think that it would fit into the plans of the City.
Mr. Hudson responded that the Heart of Boynton Plan calls for the east side of Seacrest
to be developed as Mixed Use and the west side would be for single-family
development.
Mr. Tillman did not think it was wise to have a single-family home ingress and egress
onto Seacrest. He would like to see some kind of buffering in place along Seacrest at
least one block in, so that the residential on the west side of Seacrest would extend up
to the buffering instead of sitting right on the street. He would like to see some kind of
Mixed Use in this area and was not in favor of having a single-family residence at this
location.
Mr. Fenton pointed out that if the Heart of Boynton Plan calls for everything west of
Seacrest to be single-family, maybe they should have created a buffer zone, but there is
none. He felt that the application should be approved since it is in accordance with the
Plan. Chairman Finkelstein pointed out that everything west of this parcel is single-
family.
Motion
Mr. Fenton moved to accept the recommendation of staff to change the land use from
LRC to single family at 503 North Seacrest Boulevard.
Motion died for lack of a second.

Woolbright Grill (ZNCV 03-028)
John Therien
John Therien
700 Woolbright Road (Southside of Woolbright
Road at the Intracoastal Waterway)
Request relief from Chapter 2, Zoning, Section
6.C.3, requiring a minimum rear yard setback
of twenty (20) feet, to allow for a variance of
twenty (20) feet, and a rear yard setback of
zero (0) feet for a restaurant in a C:3 zoning
district.
Maxime Ducoste-Ambdbe, Planner, presented the item on behalf of staff. The property
is located on the south side of Woolbright Road, east of the Riverwalk Plaza and west of
the Intracoastal Waterway. The Board approved the project in June 2002 for a two-
story, sit-down restaurant, containing 7,829 square feet. The original site plan approval
had several variances and one was for a cantilever awning on the east side of the
restaurant. The applicant is now requesting a different awning that would be supported
by columns that would encroach into the 20' setback. The original variance was for an
overhang of the cantilever awning for 7 %'. The new awning would extend all the way to
the property line.
Staff looked at the Code requirements for approving variances. Staff does concur with
the applicant that the property is unusual in shape and is difficult to develop. However,
when the project was originally improved, staff acknowledged that this was the bare
minimum to make reasonable use of the land. Mr. Ducoste-Am~d~e referred to the
criteria that an applicant must meet in order to receive a variance. One criterion states
that the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant. He pointed out that the applicant has created a need for this variance and
when the project was approved the cantilever awning was feasible. The project is now
under construction and approval of the variance request would grant special privileges
to the applicant that could cause an increase in the building envelope.
Denial of the request would not deprive the applicant of rights that others enjoy and staff
feels that the variance is not justified. The project is separated from nearby properties
by significant barriers, such as the Intracoastal Waterway. Approval of the variance
along the rear property line would allow the applicant to potentially increase the outdoor
seating area or even expand the building itself.

With regard to the parking, the present use was approved with the bare minimum-
parking requirement and there is no surplus of parking spaces. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the request be denied due to the lack of traditional hardship and
due to the circumstances that the applicant has created. There are no conditions of
approval. However, if the Board approves the variance, staff requests that the approval
be restricted to an awning.
Paul Slattery, of Slattery & Associates, 2060 NW Boca Raton Boulevard, Boca
Raton, is the architect for the project. He explained that they are asking to put up an
awning for an approved patio and dining deck. Staff was not accurate when they said
that the applicant would have the ability to increase the occupancy of the building. This
is not the case. The approved deck area would be the same that was approved in 2002.
They would like to extend the awning to the outside of the deck. Mr. Slattery pointed out
that extending the awning to the east would provide additional benefit to the properties
across the Intracoastal Waterway. When those residents spoke at the meeting in 2002
they expressed concern about the lighting and noise. Increasing the awning to cover
the entire patio would help contain some of the noise and the light fixtures could be
installed under the awning, cutting down on light spillage. They are not requesting any
increase in occupancy; they merely want to keep the occupants dry on the deck dry.
Chairman Finkelstein opened the public hearing. He informed Mr. Slattery that he
would have the right of rebuttal.
Eleanor Roland resides directly across from the restaurant. When she spoke two years
ago she represented the residents of Crown Colony and her residence is located at the
far end of the building and faces the parking lot. She pointed out that there is no
landscaping and all the lighting shines into her building. Ms. Roland said that the noise
and lights are affecting her sleep and she has concerns about the awning hanging over
the Intracoastal. She requested that some trees be planted along the parking lot to cut
down on the noise. The dumpsters should have sound barriers and she would like
assurances that the restaurant would comply with that regulation. Ms. Roland did not
want to see boats pulling up to the restaurant because there are Manatees and wildlife
living in this area.
Farah Ali, the Manager of the Gulfstream Harbor Apartments, located at northeast
side of Woolbright Road and the Intracoastal, had concerns about the noise and the
lights. She also questioned if there would be adequate parking. Ms. Ali did not think
that the awning would pose a problem to their development.
Chairman Finkelstein pointed out that tonight's application was for a variance for an
awning and that the restaurant has already been approved.
Mr. Slattery responded that there is a plan to install landscaping from the north end all
the way to the south end of the property line. Also, the awning would not encroach over
4703
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
February 10, 2004
the deck and would just cover the edge of the approved deck. He felt that the awning
would help contain the lighting and noise.
Attorney Payne administered the oath to Maryanne Lamb, a resident of Crown
Colony, who is concerned that since the deck extends to the edge of the water, how
would it be possible to put landscaping on the deck? Chairman Finkelstein reminded
Ms. Lamb that her remarks should be limited to the variance for the awning. She was
under the impression that there would be no outside dining. Chairman Finkelstein
pointed out that this was not correct and that the restaurant was approved with outside
dining. Ms. Lamb stated that she was against the awning.
Mr. Tillman inquired how many feet the deck extends out into the Intracoastal past the
sea wall. Mr. Slattery responded it was 10'. Mr. Slattery stated that the deck extends 20'
from the building and the sea wall is 10' from the building; therefore, the deck extends
an additional 10' into the waterway. Mr. Slattery also stated that the awning would
match the line of the approved deck.
Mr. Fenton asked a question about the landscaping and Mr. Slattery noted that they
would be placing landscaping not only on their parcel, but also the shopping center
parcel to the south end of the property.
Mr. Fenton inquired if the awning would completely enclose the deck and Mr. Slattery
stated that the sides would be open. Mr. Fenton thought it would be a good idea to be
able to close the sides in the event of rain. Mr. Slattery said they might do something
about that, but it would not extend beyond the deck.
Mr. Fisher felt that this new awning would be beneficial to the neighbors by cutting down
on the noise and the light. Mr. Tillman pointed out that the awning would extend an
additional 10' out, but the applicant has not presented any hardship to justify the
variance. Mr. Fisher felt that because of the location of the property this does create a
hardship. Mr. Tillman was not certain that an awning would actually cut down on the
sound or light emanating from the restaurant. He also pointed out that the City has
regulations that this Board is supposed to adhere to.
Mr. DeMarco felt that the addition of the new awning would make the patio area larger
to accommodate more people. Mr. Slattery responded that the patio area would remain
the same size as approved; they only want to cover the entire patio. Mr. DeMarco
inquired how the awning would be handled in the event of a hurricane. Mr. Slattery said
that in this event, the awning would be cut off and the frame would be left standing.
Chairman Finkeistein asked staff to clarify the statement that the granting of the
variance would "grant special privilege to the applicant by allowing a possible increase
in the building envelope." Mr. Ducoste-Am6dbe responded that the building setback is
20'. Because columns support the awning, technically it is building setback that the
applicant is requesting a variance for. Therefore, if the City allows a reduction in the
setback, they could build a wall to the limit. Mr. Bucoste-Am6dbe stated that if the
4?04

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
February '! 0, 2004
Board chose to approve the variance, staff would request that the variance apply only to
the awning and not the building.
Mr. Ducoste-Am~.d~e agreed with Mr. Tillman's assessment of the variance that it was
the applicant's actions that caused the necessity for the variance and the applicant did
not meet the criteria of the LDR. He did agree, however, that the shape of the property
is unusual and the applicant meets this requirement, but does not meet any other
criteria.
Chairman Finkelstein stated that if the Board did approve the variance, it should be
restricted to allow the awning into the setback and not the structure itself.
Motion
Mr. Fenton moved to accept the petition for relief of Woolbright Grill for construction of
an awning on a 20' area and limited only to an awning. Motion seconded by Mr.
DeMarco and carried 6-1 (Mr. Tillman dissenting).
Mr. Fisher asked about the color of the awning. Mr. Slattery stated that it would be blue
and white stripe and presented a swatch of the material that contained the same colors
of the building.
Chairman Finkelstein asked staff if there was anything that would require that the colors
of the awning would have to match the colors of the building.
Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, responded that if the larger awning that the
applicant would be putting up deviates from the approved awning, the applicant should
contact staff for review and modification of the awning.

Dick Hudson, Senior Planner, presented the item on behalf of staff. Mr. Hudson pointed
out that Mixed Use-High/Mixed Use-Low zoning is currently permitted along the Federal
Highway Corridor, between the C-16 Canal on the north to Woolbright Road on the
south and between the Intracoastal on the east to the right of way of the FEC Railway
on the west. The Heart of Boynton Plan has requested that it also apply along Boynton
Beach Boulevard and up Seacrest Boulevard.
The regulations were adopted in June 2002 and staff has discovered some flaws that
need to be corrected. Mr. Hudson reviewed the changes to the code review.
It is staff's intent that any request for rezoning Mixed Use would be accompanied
by a site plan and this has been clarified in Section F.1. that states "All
development and redevelopment shall be represented by corresponding site plan
to be processed concurrent with the application for rezoning."
Paragraph 2 has been changed to add "uses" after the word "Permitted" in the
third sentence of the first paragraph. A new sentence has been added at the end
of this paragraph that reads, "Heights, densities and intensities of development
are regulated according to the classification of the roadway determined to be the
frontage."
Chairman Finkelstein pointed out that the previous draft already contained the word
"uses" and Mr. Hudson stated that the word should not have been underlined.
The definition of a vertical mix has been clarified in Paragraph 2 to read as
follows: "The district allows a maximum height of one hundred-fifty (150) feet and
a residential density of 80 dwelling units per acre, provided that all new
developments within this district that front on streets designated as 'arterial' or
'collector' roadways on the 'Functional Classification of Roadways Map' contain a
vertical mixture of retail, office and/or residential uses.
Mr. Hudson is also proposing a change to the second paragraph of paragraph b.
that is not in the new draft. The sentence that currently reads "All new Mixed Use
developments within this district" would be changed to read "All new
developments containing a mix of uses..." Also, two more street categories have
been added, "collector" and "local collector." The last sentence of the same
paragraph has been changed by adding the following phrase after the words
"residential uses: "which may be arranged either vertically or horizontally."
· Live/work units have been added to the use list with "note p15,,.
Mr. Tillman inquired if there could be vertical and horizontal mixed-uses next to each
other. Mr. Hudson felt that this would be feasible, but pointed out that is the reason staff
wants to look at the site plans before they are approved.

February 10, 2004
With regard to the live/work units, Mr. Hudson stated that usually the living area is
smaller than the work area and a person would own both areas. Staff has put in
regulations to control the type of uses that would be allowed. Normally, a person would
live on top with the business underneath and would have to obtain an occupational
license for the business on the bottom.
Houses of worship are now permitted in mixed-high if they are an integral part of
a mixed-use development and not the major portion of the development. Also,
the distance requirement has been eliminated.
· Marina has been added as a conditional use.
· Self-storage or mini warehouse is now permitted in Mixed-Use Low district and a
series of design standards have been included.
Restriction Note 1 has been changed to read: "Must be an integral, part of a
Mixed-Use development comprising a maximum of 30 percent of the gross floor
area of the entire development." This would apply mainly to churches.
· Under the Restriction Notes, Notes 14 and 15 have been added for the live/work
and storage uses.
· The note that was included between the "minimum parcel size" and "minimum
living area" is being stricken and the 3-acre minimum is no longer required.
The maximum height for residential for all other uses has now been separated
from this category. It is possible to develop a single-family detached in Mixed-
Use Low with a maximum height of 35' as a conditional use. Also, duplexes and
townhouses could be developed to a maximum height of 35'. "All other uses"
have been stricken and new Iocational requirements for height, density and floor
area ratio for all other uses have been added. This would be for multi-family and
all other Mixed Uses.
· Mixed-Use Low: If a project fronts on an arterial road, there is a range of 75' to
100' with no height change.
· A density of 40 dua is allowed and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.5 to 2.0. This is
the same FAR that is allowed in the Comprehensive Plan.
· If the property fronts on a collector street, 45' to 75' in height is permitted with a
range of 20-40 dua and a FAR of 1 to 1.5.
If the property fronts on a local collector,
maximum density of 20 dua.
4709
the maximum height is 45' and a
Vice Chair Heavilin asked for the definition of "collector" and "local collector."

Mr. Hudson pointed out that it is based upon the functional classification map that the
County develops for State and County roads and then the City can add the local
collectors that are not classified. Arterials are main roads that carry traffic regionally;
collectors are inter-regional that are shorter distance roads and carry less traffic. Knuth
Road and Miner Road are the only designated local collector roads. Local collector
roads generally connect principal roadways. All other streets are classified as local
streets.
Mr. Hudson pointed out that the notes have been moved under the category of.
"Locational Requirements for Height, Density and Floor Area Ratio/All Other
Uses."
Mr. Hutchinson noted that these requirements would keep density on the streets that
can handle it. Mr. Hudson added that even though the height can go up to a maximum
45' on the street fa(;ade, for every 50' in height the project would have to step back 10'.
This is being required to prevent having straight walls along street frontages.
· The built in line has been increased to a maximum of 15' from the property line
in order to build wider sidewalks in the downtown. Sidewalks must be a
minimum of 10' wide on an arterial road.
· Paragraph 8, "Acc," has been changed to read, "Within the MU-H and MU-L
Zones, vehicular access to parking shall not be directly from an arterial roadway,
if an alternative is available."
The purpose of this requirement is to cut down on vehicular access from arterial
roadways.
· The sidewalk requirement is now contained in Paragraph 9.d.
In Paragraph 9.e the language has been changed to read "To add color and
soften sidewalk paving with plants, flower containers containing blooming
annuals or perennials shall, where practical, be planted and maintained along
facades of new buildings fronting on arterial roadways in the MU-H District."
· Paragraph 10.c. states that single use-parking garages have a maximum height
of 75'. If the garage is combined with another use, it could go up higher.
If a parking garage is built on Federal Highway, Boynton Beach Boulevard, or
Ocean Avenue, staff is requiring that it be wrapped with commercial uses on the
ground floor at least to a depth of 20'.
The regulations dealing with self-storage in Paragraph 14 state that they are only
allowed above the first floor of a mixed-use structure and must have ground floor
retail along the street frontages. One or more retail uses must not be related to
'[he use of self-storage and to a depth of at least 20'.

· Self-storage facilities cannot be accessed from an arterial roadway and the
access must be screened from the public right-of-way.
· The buildings must be designed to have the appearance of multi-stow retail,
office or residential.
The regulations dealing with live/work units are as follows: There is a minimum
floor area of 1,000. There must be a separation between the live/work unit and
the access must be from the outside or a corridor. Each unit must have at least
2% parking spaces. The work activities in the live/work units are limited.
Occupational licenses are required for the work unit and the property cannot be
sold separately; it must be sold as a live/work unit. Also, the units cannot be
converted to either all residential or all commercial.
Mr. Hutchinson referred to "Child Care" in the Definitions paragraph. He pointed out that
childcare for an office or shopping area is allowed. This would include an office
business that had daycare for the children whose parents work there. Alsoi'shopping
center or theaters that have daycare are permitted. Mr. Hudson pointed out that having
employers with daycare would help cut down on traffic.
Mr. Fenton inquired if private clubs would be permitted in Boynton Beach in accordance
with the rules and was informed that they would be allowed.
· A definition for"Fitness/Health Club" has been added.
Vice Chair Heavilin inquired if bed and breakfast establishments would be allowed. Mr.
Hutchinson felt that there could be problems with bed and breakfast establishments, but
in many urban areas there are "boutique inns" that are actually small hotels. He thought
that this might fit well with 10 or more rooms. Mr. Hudson pointed out that bed and
breakfast is a conditional use.
Mr. DeMarco complimented the staff of the Planning and Zoning Division for doing an
excellent job.
Mr. Fisher inquired why an auction house is not permitted. Mr. Hudson pointed out that
there are all types of auctions. Mr. Fisher would like to see an upscale type auction
house allowed and requested that this be redefined. Mr. Hudson noted that the code
allows antique shops. Chairman Finkelstein recommended that the definition be
changed from not allowed to allowed with conditions.
With regard to bus terminals, Mr. Fisher felt that this needed to be better defined
because there will be more public transportation downtown over the next few years.
Mr. Fenton recommended having a workshop on this so that Board members could
have more opportunity to review the material. Members agreed that this would be the
best way to review the information. 47! !

Chairman Finkelstein welcomed Mayor Taylor to the meeting.
Chairman Finkelstein opened the public audience.
Buck Buchanan, 807 Ocean Inlet Drive, President of INCA, noted that all the
regulations are based upon the type of road that property fronts on. He wanted to know
that if his property sat on a small piece of an arterial road would it encompass the entire
parcel, even though most of the parcel would be on a neighborhood street. He was
concerned that someone could come along and place a high rise in his neighborhood.
Mr. Hudson explained that for every foot of height over 45', a project would have to step
back one foot from the property line, but there were many cimumstances that would
have to be considered.
Attorney Payne administered the oath to David Zimet, of the Boynton Beach Faith
Based CDC, who inquired why MLK was not on the map. Mr. Hudson explained that the
map is six to eight years old and the streets have been reclassified since the original
plan was adopted. The map will be updated. ~
Brian Edwards, 629 NE 9th Avenue, Boynton Beach, was glad that another workshop
would be scheduled. There are concerns in some of the residential areas regarding the
properties that abut Federal Highway and the Intracoastal Waterway. He would like to
see something in writing that if a project were in a residential area it would not be
developed unless it was along one of those corridors. He was concerned that there is a
possibility that high rises would go up along the Intracoastal Waterway. He was against
any development in the residential area, especially Mangrove Walk.
Chairman Finkelstein closed the public hearing.
Motion
Mr. Tillman moved to table until the Workshop. Motion seconded by vice Chair Heavilin
and unanimously carried.
THE MEETING RECESSED AT 8:12 P.M.
THE MEETING RECONVENED AT 8:25 P.M.
VII. Director's Report
A. Updates
Chairman Finkelstein remarked that the CRA has yet to acquire its first piece of
property. Mr. Hutchinson stated that staff is waiting for a letter or ruling from HUD
regarding the appraisal process before any property could be acquired. Chairman
Finkelstein inquired if this has been confirmed as necessary and Attorney Payne
responded that Assistant City Manager Dale Sugerman requested that she find out from
4712
16
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
February 10, 2004
HUD about the process. City staff feels that the CRA must obtain HUD's opinion
because all HUD rules for the project must be followed.
Chairman Finkelstein inquired if these regulations would also apply to willing sellers and
Mr. Hutchinson said that it did. The City is concerned that if the CRA did not proceed
properly by going through HUD, it could have repercussions upon the entire City.
Chairman Finkelstein inquired if Attorney Payne requested a ruling from HUD and she
said that she did this verbally, but now HUD wants it in writing. Mr. Fisher requested
that staff make this a priority to get the proper paperwork done. Mr. Tillman asked for a
report at the next meeting.
Mr. Hutchinson announced that the CDC is having an event and he felt it was important
for the CRA to participate and to purchase a table. He had previously asked the Board if
the CRA could reserve a table at a cost of $750. The money has already been
budgeted. Mr. Fenton was not in favor of participating. He felt if they purchased a table
for this event, how many tables and how many events would they be participating in?
He felt that this would set a bad precedent.
Mr. Tillman noted that this was a working relationship that is part of the community and
he was in favor of the CRA participating. Mr. Fenton felt that if the Board wanted to
purchase a table, members should pay for it themselves.
Mr. Fisher said that this would send a good message to the CDC by having the CRA
participate since it is in partnership with the CDC. Vice Chair Heavilin also pointed out
that the speaker would be addressing redevelopment.
Mr. Hutchinson asked Mr. Zimet what the deadline was for purchasing a table and he
said that February 18t~ was the cut off date.
Motion
Mr. Fisher moved to approve the funds to purchase a table at this event. Motion
seconded by Vice Chair Heavilin.
Mr. DeMarco felt that the Board should support the CDC, but wanted to avoid the look
of impropriety.
Vote
Motion carried 6-1 (Mr. Fenton dissenting).

IX. New Business
A. Consideration of CRA Logo and Web Site Layout
Mr. Hutchinson reported that members were furnished a packet with several Iogos and
a Web page printout. Staff is recommending the first two Iogos that used the "CRA"
With a modified City logo. He said it is important to move forward on this because it ties
in with a lot of other ideas and projects.
There was a consensus on the Board to move forward with the logo on page 4634 in
the agenda packet. Chairman Finkelstein liked the logo, but he was not happy about
moving Palm Trees. Mr. Fenton asked why the word "Florida" is not mentioned
anywhere. Mr. Fenton would like to have a splash on the tail of the dolphins. Vice Chair
Heavilin thought that they could have come up with something better. Mr. Fisher said
that the background banners can be easily changed.
Motion :
Mr. Fisher moved to approve the logo on Page 4634 of the agenda packet. Motion
seconded by Mr. Tillman and unanimously carried.
B. Consideration of Funding of the Wheels Weekend Event
Chairman Finkelstein noted that a new Item B. was distributed and should replace the
one in the agenda packet. The request for funding is now from the Chamber of
Commerce as opposed to BODA.
Mr. Hutchinson noted that this is a great event and he would like to keep the momentum
going. Because BODA is undergoing changes, they are not in a position to participate
in the event. Therefore, the Chamber has agreed to be a partner with the CRA. He
noted that some BODA members are also Chamber members and will be participating.
The CRA has partnered with the Chamber in the past on the Sunday event.
Chairman Finkelstein asked where the big truck rally would take place that is put on by
the City. Mr. Hutchinson stated that this would take place near the Children's Museum
and will begin earlier in the day. The City staff was nice enough to change the weekend
to have the City event coincide with the CRA event.
Mr. DeMarco inquired how many members of the Chamber are members of BODA as
well and would these members be helping with the program. Mr. DeMarco requested
that Ms. Johnson respond to his question.
Diana Johnson, President of the Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce, stated
that all downtown merchants will be invited to participate and they do not have to be
members of the Chamber of Commerce. This is a partnership event and anyone within
the CRA or in their membership could participate. Ms. 'Johnson also noted that the
4714

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
February 10, 2004
Chamber is stepping forward this year to help, but does not intend to maintain this role
with hopes that BODA can take it over again next year.
Motion
Mr. Fisher moved to approve. Motion seconded by Mr. DeMarco and unanimously
carried.
B. Consideration of Fagade Grant for St. Mark's Catholic Church
Mr. Hutchinson noted that there had been prior discussion regarding not-for-profit
companies and churches participating in the fagade grant program. Staff would like
direction on this application. There was nothing final mentioned in prior minutes when
this was previously discussed. Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that St. Mark Catholic Church
was very active in the downtown area and has helped the CRA. The project is
outstanding and staff is seeking better direction from the Board.
Chairman Finkelstein pointed out that the City leases the Mangrove Park Walk from the
Church for $1.00.
Ms. Carrie Parker Hill was present on behalf of the Church, along with Ken Kaleel who
is Chairman of St. Mark School Board and Mr. Stormet Norman, who is also a member
of the School Board. Ms. Hill pointed out that the Church operates a fulltime school on
site serving 280 students and 40 employees with annual payroll of $931,000.
Mr. Tillman noted that St. Mark has always been an integral part of Boynton Beach.
Motion
Mr. Tillman moved to approve the grant. Motion seconded by Mr. Fisher and
unanimously carried.
Vice Chair Heavilin pointed out that the issue still needs to be clarified on how these
applications should be handled. Mr. Hutchinson recommended bringing the applications
in on a case-by-case basis. There was a consensus to deal with these applications on
a case-by-case basis.
C. Consideration and Approval of the Financial Advisory Contract
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that Ms. Vielhauer has worked very hard on this contract
and after checking, they received excellent reviews on the company. They would like to
move forward with this in March because staff feels they need a financial advisor
onboard.
Chairman Finkelstein noted that on page 4680 in Paragraph 2, in the sixth line, middle
of the sentence, he felt that the "or" should be an "and" so that it would read "...thirty
4715
19
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
February 10, 2004
(30) days written notice to the other party, and at that time..." Attorney Payne confirmed
that this should be corrected.
In the same paragraph, Chairman Finkelstein felt that the word "on" in the next to the
last line should be changed to "for" so that it would read, "the Financial Advisor shall be
compensated fo.._r alt projects in progress..."
Chairman Finkelstein questioned the lettering of paragraph a. (Planning and
Development Phase I) and the next paragraph that was numbered b. (Bond Phase II).
He pointed out that in sections 1 through 12, bonds are discussed and then 13 states
"solicit bids on investment of idle funds, if requested." He questioned if this was the
proper place for 13. He also noted that in Paragraph 4 (Compensation), there is a
subparagraph b. (Bond Phase II) and this relates to the items under 3.b. as
compensation for those items. Chairman Finkelstein thought that Bond Phase II should
be changed to Bond Phase I. He also wanted to know who would give the okay for any
of the actions in subparagraph c. to take place. Mr. Hutchinson stated it would be the
CRA Board. :
Chairman Finkelstein also thought that they should receive an estimate of the time it
would take to perform a specific item. Mr. Hutchinson did not think this was possible at
this time.
Mr. Tillman pointed out in the subparagraph entitled Bond Phase II, it states that "there
shall be a surcharge of $5,000 for competitive sales and/or refundings." Mr. Tillman
requested that competitive sales be defined.
Julie Turner of William R. Hough & Co. explained that in a competitive sale of a bond
offering, the CRA would prepare for the financing and would request on the day of the
sale, bids submission from several different underwriters. This process is usually done
in securing a general obligation credit and she did not envision that the CRA would be
entering into this type of sale, nor would this fee apply.
Attorney Payne recommended adding under Paragraph 3 on page 4680 the wording
"and approval of the CRA Board" so that the first sentence would read, "The financial
Advisor agrees that upon request, and approval of the CRA Board, the following
services may be performed by the Financial Advisor in consideration of the
compensation in Paragraph 4 hereto." The Board was agreeable to this amendment to
the contract.
Mr. Hutchinson inquired who would be authorized to sign the contract on behalf of the
Board. Attorney Payne said that the Board Chairman would sign anything the Board
approves, unless someone else was authorized.
Attorney Payne also pointed out that Phase I was "Planning and Development" and
Phase II was "Bond." Attorney Payne recommended reversing the wording so that it
would be clearer. 4716

Mr. Hutchinson also inquired that every time staff gives Hough & Co. an assignment or
works with them would this have to be brought to the Board for a decision. Attorney
Payne explained that if Hough & Co. calls staff with a question, there is a cost to the
CRA and Mr. Hutchinson is asking how this would be handled. Ms. Turner responded
that there are always questions and an hourly rate is incurred. Chairman Finkelstein felt
that there were no guidelines in the contract on what staff could do.
Ms. Turner responded that the CRA staff cannot enter into a financing obligation without
the Board's permission. Chairman Finkelstein did not have a problem with Mr.
Hutchinson responding to questions since this is part of his job. Also, Mr. Tillman
questioned how many questions would be received in a month's time. Mr. Tillman felt if
something comes up that Mr. Hutchinson feels would incur a lot of money, he should
bring it to the Board. He did not envision that the.CRA's financial advisor would be a
great expense during a month's time. Vice Chair Heavilin agreed with Mr. Tillman and
felt that staff should certainly have the authority to ask a question.
Ms. Vielhauer asked if the Board was willing to approve Phase 1 once the cost is
determined. Chairman Finkelstein stated that the Board was being asked to approve
the entire contract. Ms. Vielhauer agreed with Chairman Finkelstein, but also stated
that the Board was being asked to move forward with Phase 1.
Ms. Turner responded that Phase 1 would take place now and Ms. Vielhauer has asked
her to prepare a preliminary financing analysis to determine the amount of bonds that
the CRA could issue and provide some financing options. Mr. Fisher stated that these
were two distinct areas.
Chairman Finkelstein asked Ms. Turner what the cost would be for Phase I and she
responded that it would depend on how involved they get. She could provide a draft
analysis on February 24th, but stated she has not done a great amount of work since
they have not been formally engaged. She did not anticipate that this would be a
significant amount. When the CRA gets to the Bond Phase, the hourly charges would
cease, and they would pay on a per bond basis.
Mr. Fenton noted that the memo on Page 4679 states that the Board is being asked to
consider a Financial Advisory Service Contract and to move forward with developing a
financial strategy. Mr. Fisher asked how much was budgeted for this item and Mr.
Hutchinson stated that it is $20,000 for the year.
Chairman Finkelstein felt comfortable in approving Planning and Development Phase I,
Paragraph 3.a., No. 1 through 3 and the contract with the changes as outlined. He
inquired whether the board needs to see a comprehensive plan for the offering of
bonds, which he did not think was necessary at this time. Mr. Fenton felt that they
should also move forward with the comprehensive plan for the offering of the bonds.
Chairman Finkelstein felt before they got to that point, they needed to know if they in
fact needed to offer bonds, how much, etc. before coming up with a comprehensive
plan. Ms. Turner agreed with this.

Mr. Fisher asked Ms. Turner if the "not to exceed $20,000" was reasonable and she
stated that it was.
Ms. Turner suggested that instead of parceling out the contract, she stated that they
also do work orders for clients up to a certain amount of money. If she receives a work
order up to a certain amount and has to go over, she would come back to the Board for
approval. Chairman Finkelstein did not think there was a rush to go out for bonding.
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that staff will continually report to the Board and then the
Board can determine if it wants to move forward with additional items. Ms. Turner
anticipates coming back on February 24th and sharing her conversations with the rating
agencies and bond insurers based upon the CRA's level of previous tax increment
revenues and looking at different financing sensitivity analysis. This would show the
Board that if the CRA wanted to do a financing today, how much debt it could issue.
Chairman Finkelstein requested that Ms. Turner come back and tell the Board what they
need, as opposed to just doing bonds. Ms. Turner responded that the CRA is going to
have to incur some debt if it wanted to do some of the projects in the budget and it does
not have to be a bond issue.
Motion
Mr. Fisher moved to approve the contract with the changes stated. Motion seconded by
Mr. Tillman and unanimously carried.
Motion
Vice Chair Heavilin moved that the first phase would be Planning and Development
Items 1,2 and 3, as listed in the contract. Motion seconded by Mr. Tillman.
Mr. Fisher requested that a not to exceed amount be included.
Vice Chair Heavilin amended her motion to state not to exceed $20,000 and Mr. Tillman
agreed to the amendment of the motion.
Mr. Fenton said that he was against the motion because he felt that paragraphs 4 and 5
should be included in the motion.
Ms. Turner said that she could not do her analysis if she would not get paid because
this is an integral part of her report. Chairman Finkelstein would like Ms. Turner to tell
the Board what they need before she goes out to speak with people. He did not think
there was any emergency for the Board to go out and borrow millions of dollars. He
wants the Financial Advisor to make recommendations.
Ms. Turner said that she would not be getting bond ratings, but she would be consulting
with the rating agencies and bond insurers to determine what the CRA could support
4718
22
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
February 10, 2004
based on the CRA's tax increment revenues of $1.3 million in 2002 and how much debt
could the CRA issue. This is a fundamental question on where the Board wants to go
and what projects you want to do. From her preliminary calculations she has determined
that they could issue approximately $8 million in debt. She has to talk to the bond
insurers and rating agencies to determine how they would rate the CRA based on its tax
increment revenue history, or would the CRA be better off doing a non-rated
transaction, if the CRA wanted to issue debt. Chairman Finkelstein said that he did not
want to get to this step yet. Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that the CRA is about to embark
on writing some very large checks and he would like the Board to consider other
alternatives to cash.
Vice Chair Heavilin inquired if Ms. Turner can perform the first three tasks and she said
that she could, but it would be on a limited analysis.
Vote
Motion carried 6-1 (Mr. Fenton dissenting).
X. Commission Action
A. New Fire Station Approved
B. Dance Studio Approved
Chairman Finkelstein inquired how the dance studio was approved and Mr. Hutchinson
responded that it was a conditional use, but is still being discussed by the City.
C. Delray Boynton Academy Approved with Newly Designed Roof
Chairman Finkelstein asked about the roof for the Delray Boynton Academy. Mr.
Hutchinson stated it was a new design and the entire building now has a roof, which the
Board has not seen. They will be coming back before the Board with a fa(;ade grant
application and the City Commission has requested that the Board hear the application.
Xi. Board Member Comments
Mr. Fisher reported that the Advisory Board on Children and Youth has done projects in
the past that focused on the stakeholders in the area involving the youth. Since the CRA
focuses on adult stakeholders, he would like the CRA to spend time with the youth in
order to get them to buy into their communities. He proposed coming up with some kind
of grant project for neighborhood beautification that would focus on the youth. Mr.
Fisher did present this idea to staff and staff is prepared to present guidelines for a
grant program at the next meeting. He was informed that there is $10,000 in the
miscellaneous line item that could be used for this. He would like to begin with three
grants at $1,000 each and then see how this works out. Mr. Fisher requested that staff
bring something back to the Board and Mr. Hutchinson stated he would have something
for the April meeting. 47:t9

Barretta furnished a completed Form 8B to the Recording Secretary, which has been
filed with the records of the meeting. For clarification, Attorney Payne stated that Mr.
Barretta was stating for the record that he had a voting conflict on this item.
XII. Legal
Attorney Payne announced that the City Board members have been getting updates on
the Sunshine and Public Records Law and requested that this be scheduled for a future
meeting. Mr. Fisher recommended doing this before the April meeting beginning at 6:00

Price List for CRA Documents and Maps
February 26, 2004
Staff has performed a cost analysis for the CRA books and maps produced to be
viewed and/or purchased by the public. Prior to this cost analysis, the actual cost of
document production was not known. Additionally, the books and maps were not being
sold. As a result, there was a heavy drain on the office supply budget due to the cost of
producing the documents. '..
In order to remedy the situation and ease budget impacts, the CRA office will begin to
charge for books and maps.
Staff has attached a detailed cost analysis outline of all CRA books and maps for your
review.

MEMO
TO: CRA Board
FROM:
Douglas Hutchinson
SUBJECT: Consideration of Planning Services for A Comprehensive
Consolidation/Update to Produce One CRA Master Plan Document.
DATE:
February 24, 2004
The long awaited CRA Master Comp plan will consolidate all of the CRA plans
into one planning document, which will include the new TCEA, Design
Guidelines, Land Development Regulations rewrite and incorporate various
district updates, and resolve any conflicts between the documents/studies.
Moreover, this scope of work will incorporate a parking study element into the
CRA Master Comp plan, which saves the CRA approximately $25,000 if it was
contracted separately.
RMPK Group has submitted a proposal for the Boynton Beach Unified
Redevelopment Master Plan, which sets out the Scope of Work, Time Schedule,
and Cost per task (Copy attached).
RMPK Group is currently providing for and/or consulting on the Boynton Beach
Design Guidelines, Boynton Beach Boulevard Extension, LDR (City), Heart of
Boynton Community Plan, and the Heart of Boynton Update, which are all of the
current components of the proposed CRA Master Comp plan study. Moreover,
because RMPK Group has been participating in the plans they would not have to
start at the beginning, but could start at with the full understanding of the past
and existing projects and issues. In addition, the RMPK Group already has the
4745
above referenced projects documents in their computer system. This will provide
the CRA with a cost savings as well as a time saving for the CRA Master Comp
plan Study. For these reasons, Staff is recommending a sole source purchase of
this service due to the interrelationship of these elements to the CRA Master
Oomp plan.
Staff is recommending approval of the contract with RMPK Group for the
Boynton Beach Unified Redevelopment Master Plan.

Presentation for moving forward with Museum Feasibility
February 26, 2004
The CRA reviewed the attached SFWMD comment letter on projects and project
concepts which were part of the overall potential vision for the BBB, Promenade and
Riverwalk Area. This SFWMD briefing took place during a time when the Hall Property
settlement was not finalized. The meeting was at the request of the sFWMD. The
SFVVMD Staff had questions about all potential aspects of the area development
including the CRA, City and the Related Group's Marina Village.
As part of the informational gathering by the SFWMD, the museum concept for the area
was questioned. No design, plan, or any documents as to exact location were given.
Basic questions were addressed but no detailed response was given concerning any
permitting issues. This limited information was based on two perspectives: First, there
is no design or footprint and second, we could not speak to development potential or
legal proceedings that were pending. Therefore, the SFVVMD's response was a
predictable, No. The exact comment was that the first consideration is always to
consider a different location when looking at the waterfront. The comment was not
responded to by me or the engineers concerning possible mitigating designs,
placement, etc. We wanted to make sure that the permits for the "base" project were
the focus and not held up in any way.
The SFVVMD decisions are based on impacts of the proposed project on protected
resources. The extent of the environmental impact issues are yet to be defined due to
the fact that the museum size, design, visitation levels, etc. are not completed, These
4760
issues are what the feasibility study will look at. With the current completed detailed
environmental surveys and SFWMD direction, we can now work on the exact extent of
the impact on time, design and budgets.
The scope of work for the Museum Feasibility Study evaluates the site and can
recommend other sites. The Feasibility StUdy has many facets of which site location
feasibility is one element. Only this study can tell the full story as to this Project's merit
and feasibility. I recommend that we proceed with the study as contracted.

ATTACHMENT A
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES -
SAVAGE CREATURES OF THE ANCIENT SEAS
Baker Leisure Group has assembled a strong development team to answer the
question:
"Is the Savage Creatures of the Ancient Seas the right project at the right place at the
right time ?"
The proposed project is considered a catalyst for the redevelopment of Boynton Beach
and will blend entertainment and educational elements that are related to the timeline of
nautical experiences, through both man made and natural elements. The development
team includes teams specializing in financial and market analysis, architectural design,
creative development, cost assessment, fabrication, authentication, and non-for-profit
organization and development for fund procurement. In this initial phase, the Baker
Leisure Group team has assembled the team to conduct an assessment of the current
work product as completed by the Community Redevelopment Agency. Each team
member will utilize their expertise to determine the feasibleness of the project and,
where applicable, make suggestions and recommendations that strengthen the
proposed project.
The following section presents the scope of work per each team as applicable to the
phase one process. It is separated by team member. It is important to stress that
although each team member will be conducting independent exercises, they will also be
conducted in tandem with all teams to insure that information gleaned from each team
member will be incorporated within the progress of the project as a whole.

Task Three: Educational/Entertainment Industry Review
In Task Three, BLG will evaluate the educational/entertainment industry in terms of:
· Overall operations
· Trends
· Market support structures, capture rates
· Per capita spending
Task Four: Competitive Analysis
BLG will research the number, quality, and location of visitor attractions in the market
area, both existing and known-planned. The research of the market area attraction
portfolio will help in understanding its impact on future performance of a proposed
development. Competitive visitor attractions, as applicable, will be evaluated based on
publicly available data in terms of its:
· Location relative to the proposed site
· Attendance levels and mix (if available)
· Quality of attraction and types of amenities
· Pricing, per capita spending
· Investment level (if available)
At the conclusion of Task Four, BLG will develop a SWOT analysis (strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and other general factors within the
marketplace that will assist in determining the market support structure. BLG will
deliver to the Boynton Beach CRA as well as all team members a market summary
report, SWOT analysis summary, and recommendations. This report will serve as the
basis for product and concept development, as well as site review and financial
analysis.

Feasibility Assessment Proposal
Task Seven: Economic and Performance Parameters
Overall operating revenues for the proposed development will be estimated based upon
per capita spending estimates and attendance estimates. Per capita spending
estimates will be based upon an assessment of per capita spending in other
comparable facilities, and an analysis of visitor spending at other local visitor attractions
within the marketplace. The per capita spending will consider all potential profit centers
including, but not limited to, admission, merchandise, food and beverage, and other.
Attendance and per capita spending will be estimated for a period of five years. It will
be utilized to determine operating revenues. Operating costs will also be determined for
the development of an operating pro forma. The pro forma will include, but is not limited
to: all estimated operating expenses and capital expenditures. The pro forma will be
utilized to determine a warranted investment of the overall facility. The warranted
investment is defined as the total investment that Can be justified given operating cash
flow.
Within this task, BLG will engage the Conway Company in regards to recommended
financial strategies based on their experience with similar projects from a non-for-profit
perspective. This will include recommendations in regards to corporate and operations
structure, as well as the foundation structure.

APPLIED TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT
The proposed scope of services is to prepare and complete a feasibility study for
shoreline management and environmental permitting for the referenced project. Total
shoreline frontage is approximately 600 ft. along the Intracoastal Waterway, in an area
where bank erosion has historically been a problem, the structure is "non-water
dependent," and is sited in the mangroves. All of these conditions create challenges
that should be addressed in these early phases of the project. The Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP), South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Palm Beach CountY Department of
Environmental Resources Management, and the City of Boynton Beach will be the
primary permitting agencies and will be contacted as part of this feasibility study.
The feasibility study will utilize existing data to the extent practical and will be closely
coordinated with the City of Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).

Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
Feasibility Assessment Proposal
Each of the tasks are described below.
Task One: Review of Existing Literature, Reports and Data
This task involves the search and cursory review of such documents as City plans,
existing permits, Mangrove Park boundary surveys, environmental surveys or studies,
current or tidal data, ICW boundary information, historical aerials, historical shoreline
data/surveys and other pertinent background information about the surrounding area
and its history.
Task Two: Acquisition of Site Data
This task focuses on the specific site and its present condition. Recent aerials will be
needed, along with existing boundary surveys, easements, and other encumbrances.
Any other site data such as seagrass surveys, bathymetry, topography, wetland
delineations, wildlife surveys, etc. will be compiled and summarized.
Task Three: Environmental Resources Evaluation
Feasibility-level effort studies under this task will not involve an underwater seagrass
survey or completion of an upland vegetation survey; however, literature reviews and a
brief site visit will be included as part of this task. Comments will be made relative to
this level of environmental assessment.
Task Four: Meeting with Agencies
Meetings and/or telephone calls with DEP, SFWMD, USACE, City of Boynton Beach,
CRA, and Palm Beach County will be conducted to gather input on the feasibility of this
project concept in this location. Input from these meetings/calls will only be as good as
the concept development at the time of the meeting/call.
Task Five: Shoreline Management
A concept for the structure, or even the size of the waterfront portion of the structure,
has not been developed at this point. It may be possible to discuss some design
concepts/alternatives that will be acceptable in terms of shoreline erosion and
management of resources at this point. This task will cover an informed discussion of
these topics given the data gathered in Tasks 1 through 3.

Memo:
To: CRA Board
From:
Douglas Hutchinson, CRA Executive Director
Re: Boynton Beach Boulevard Extension, Promenade and Riverwalk
Design and Probable Project Cost
Date: March 1, 2004
The CRA Director, Jonathan Ricketts and Dennis Haynes have worked all week to go
over the Boynton Beach Boulevard Project which included a major design change for
the Promenade construction cross section design that saved about $3,000,000. The
resulting project is actually better as it impacts less environmental resources. However,
with 100% drawings on the BBB Extension, 30% completed on the Promenade and
30% on the Riverwalk, the cost (excluding additional land costs) is estimated
approximately $18,301,970 or roughly twice the initial concepts (this was a preliminary
cost estimate performed prior to start of design).
The team recommends the project be adjusted by focusing on two elements of the three
and to complete them in a manner that they "stand alone" in finish quality. This
recommendation includes phasing the Riverwalk construction to a later time. However,
the team strongly suggests that the Riverwalk be permitted at this time. The permitting
will clear the way for future construction. The Riverwalk would be reviewed in two or
three years for potential second level debt funding, grants and underwriting along side
the proposed museum.
The team recommends that every effort be made to include "Art Items." The Gateway
elements are not included in the revised $7,237,366 budget (this includes $1,000,000
for land), however, it is felt that the project has potential funds in contingencies and
other miscellaneous items that could cover the 2 sets (BBB and Fed. and BBB Ext. at
4775
Promenade) of Gateway features costing an estimated $295,000 per set. The next
major public element to be considered is the public art at either end of the Promenade.
The center piece art has a budget of $1,500,000 which we propose as being
underwritten from grants and private donations. Other "Public" art would be added as
donors are secured and a system for selection and review is created.
The Promenade project does feature public restrooms, an information kiosk, EMS
equipment storage and a police center (total building size 600 to 800 sq. ft.) at the entry.
A "Day Deck" for fishing, boat drop-off and pick-up and water linkage is proposed at the
Intracoastal. These are key elements to the function of the project as an area for
events, security and public enjoyment.
The project cost backup is presented as two columns; one with the entire project and
the other with team recommendations. Please note that the CRA has paid
approximately $384,000 toward the project to date, therefore, the balance to be spent
reflects these draws; i.e. $7,237,366 total cost - $384,000 paid to date = $6,853,366
plus projected additional land cost of $1,000,000 plus construction management of
$200,000 for a project total of $8,053,366 for the team's alternative proposal and
$18,301,920 total cost - $384,000 paid to date = $17,445,088 plus $1,000,000 for land
and $295~000 for construction management for a total cost of $18,740,088. The team
does not need exact approvals but a direction to proceed.

Douglas Hutchinson, CRA Executive Director
MLK Purchase Process Update
February 26, 2004
Over the past months, questions have arisen as to the process the CRA will be required
to use for the approved acquisition of Phase I Properties in the MLK Corridor. HUD and
our legal staff will have comments on the .legal impacts; however, my recommendation
is to follow the HUD Uniform Relocation Act process. This will add significant cost to
the acquisition costs but ensures a fair process to all parties. My strongest argument is
that the City and CRA need to follow some guidelines in this area. We are literally
buying properties next door or across the street from each other. It is very confusing to
citizens if the "City" is buying property under different systems. I strongly believe that a
unified purchasing system will both be seen as fair and consistent.

Real Property Acquisitions subject to Uniform Relocation Assistance in Real
Property Acquisitions for Federal and Federally-Assisted Programs 42 USC 4601,
et seq.
During a recent telephone conference which included representatives from the City
administration and the Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director, an analysis was
requested of the additional requirements of a property acquisition conducted in conformity with
the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act for submission to the Board at its next meeting.
The following constitutes an outline of the legal requirements that must be adhered to under the
Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance.
I. APPRAISALS.
Prior to negotiations, Section 24.102 of the Act requires that an appraisal be obtained. (An
appraisal is unnecessary if the fair market value of the property to be acquired is estimated at
$2,500.00 or less.)
Section 24.103 sets forth criteria for the appraisals which in the minimum must contain the
following items:
4792
a0
bo
co
The purpose and/or the function of the appraisal, a definition of the estate being
appraised, and a statement of the assumptions and limiting conditions affecting
the appraisal.
An adequate description of the physical characteristics of the property being
appraised, a statement of the known and observed encumbrances, if any, tire
information, location, zoning, present use, an analysis of highest and best use, and
at least a five (5) year sales history of the property.
All relevant and reliable approaches to value consistent with commonly accepted
professional appraisal practices.
A description of comparable sales, including a description of all relevant,
physical, legal and economic factors, such as parties to the transaction, source and
method of financing, and verification by a party involved in the transaction.
A statement of the value of the real property to be acquired and, for partial
acqu/sition, a statement of the value of the damages and benefits, if any, to the
remaining real property, where appropriate.
The effective date of valuation, date of appraisal, signature and certification of the
appraiser.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.
In order to perform an appraisal under the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act, the appraiser
shall be certified in accordance with Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989.
The Agency obtaining the appraisal shall have a qualified reviewing appraiser examine all
appraisals to insure that they meet applicable appraisal requirements. The reviewing appraiser's
certification of the recommended or approved value of the property shall be set forth in a signed
statement which identifies the appraisal reports reviewed and explains the basis for such
recommendation or approval.
Cost Factor: Cost of an additional reviewing appraiser.
II. NEGOTIATIONS OF CONTRACT OR OPTION AGREEMENT.
Under the Federal Act and prior to the initiation of negotiations, the Agency shall establish an
mount which it believes is just compensation for the real property. The amount shall not be less
than the approved appraisal of the fair market value of the property, taking into account the value
of allowable damages or benefits to any remaining property.
Promptly thereafter, the Agency shall make a written offer to the owner to acquire the property
for the full amount believed to be just compensation.
The Act requires that along with the initial written purchase offer, the owner shall be given a
written statement of the basis for the offer of just compensation, which shall include:
a. A statement of the amount offered as just compensation;

A description, location and identification of the real property and the interest in
the real property to be acquired; and
An identification of the buildings, structures and other improvements (including
removable building equipment and trade fixtures), which are considered to be a
part of the real property for which the offer ofjust compensation is made.
The Relocation Act requires that the agency shall make reasonable efforts to contact the owner
or the owner's representative and discuss its offer to purchase the property, including the basis of
the offer of just compensation; and, explain its acquisition policies and procedures, including its
payment of incidental expenses in accordance with the Act. Incidental expenses shall include
recording fees, transfer taxes, documentary stamps, evidence of title, and boundary surveys.
However, the agency is not required to pay costs solely required to perfect the owner's rifle to the
real property. Chapter 166 does not require that the municipality pay any of the seller's
expenses.
Upon receipt of the written purchase offer, the owner is afforded a reasonable oppommity to
consider the offer and present material which the owner believes is relevant to determining the
value of the property and to suggest modification in the purposed terms and conditions of the
purchase. Accordingly, the purchase price for the property may exceed the amount'offered as
just compensation when reasonable efforts to negotiate an agreement at that amount have failed
and an authorized agency official approves such administrative settlement as being reasonable,
prudent and in the public interest.
Cost Factor: Significant administrative activity and record keeping. Additional legal over-view
to confirm compliance. We estimate an additional ten to fifteen hours of legal time per
transaction to monitor "Act" compliance.
HI. EXPENSES INCIDENTAL TO TRANSFER OF TITLE.
Under the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act, the owner of real property shall be reimbursed for
all reasonable expenses necessarily incurred for:
Recording fees;
Transfer fees;
Documentary stamps;
Evidence of title;
Surveys; and
Other similar expenses incidental to conveying the real property.
Costs for which an owner is not entitled to reimbursement include penalty costs and other
charges for prepayment and any preexisting recorded mortgage entered into in good faith
encumbering the real property and the pro rata portion of any prepaid real property taxes which
are allocable to the period after which the agency obtains title to the property.
Cost Factor: Additional closing costs.

IV. Conclusion.
In the final analysis the governmental entity that must comply with the "Act" can factor in
additional legal costs of approximately 15% - 20% above the costs associated with acquiring a
property other than under the "Act". Administrative activity (staff time and record keeping) to
assure compliance with the "Act" could drive the overall costs an additional 10%-15% higher.
In addition, the cost of the review appraiser would be incurred.

CRA Board
Douglas Hutchinson, CRA Executive Director
Cash Flows, Budgets, and Financial Projections for Board Direction
March 1, 2004
This memo is a team effort between Staff and RBC Dain Rauscher (formerly Hough
Company) to depict potential projects, programs, operations and underwriting funding.
This is for direction only. These numbers, projects, etc. will be further developed based
on the Board's general direction from this presentation forecast.
The Staff has attempted to outline a broad based concept of program and project
content. It is Staff's belief that a balanced vision of projects and support programs are
critical to sustain re-investment and development in the CRA. It is now time to more
cleady assess the CRA's underwriting capacity and establish the true scale of the plan
implementation.
The forecast recognizes opportunities such as MPO Transit Grants which offer
matching funds to develop elements of our TCEA Transportation Program. It addresses
police patrols that reinforce safety of people in the CRA area both on the street and in
parking lots that have increased usage. These are proposed to be served by the trolley
system. The Trolley Program with grant application is slated fOr presentation at the May
Board Meeting.
The Boynton Beach Boulevard Design/Build Project moves forward with two of the three
elements to anchor the waterfront development. The project provides support and ties
to the traditional small marina business activity through a drop off and pick up day dock
at the end of the Promenade.
4796
The Heart of Boynton Area is slated for $4,000,000 in property acquisition and street
improvements to begin substantial redevelopment in the MLK/Seacrest Corridor. This
commitment represents an immediate increase in activity to continue the increased
developer interest recently seen for this area. The target date for the release of a
Redevelopment RFQ is slated for Fall/Winter 2004. This timing will allow the CRA/City
to have acquired by contract and/or dosing Phase I properties.
The proposed project list addresses'a CBD Public Parking element. The location has
been targeted for over 5 years and represents a concerted effort between the City,
CRA, Church and other existing property owners to create a downtown parking site at a
large savings to the public. This public/private concept is nearing a draft concept stage
and will be ready foF CRA action over the next several months. If this site is not secured
by the CRA, development may move forward without a public parking anchor at the
location of this project (the "Exxon block" of BBB/Federal/4th Ave.).
The Museum Feasibility Study has been included to move forward to site permitting or
alternative site development as the next phase. This is contingent on a positive study
outcome; however, the feasibility study funding is critical to move the project into place
for consideration of grants, sponsorship and potential Phase I! debt underwriting.
The historic core of Boynton is addressed with a $1,000,000 underwriting of the Old
High School Adaptive Re-use. The funds, when combined with the City's existing
funding to date and proposed $300,000 for stabilization, will be used as matching funds
to secure the remaining restoration funding. This project along with the Children's
Museum and the new library expansion creates a cultural core similar to Delray's "Old
School" Square. This investment will attract development in the CRA Area through
enhanced quality of life and creation of a significant public space.
The proposed forecast reflects commitments to the Marina and Arches Projects. Their
cost impacts and cash flows are accounted for both in cost and TIF Income.
4796a
The income forecasts are very conservative. Appreciation expectations are almost 50%
of the County's projections and very limited grant funding is projected. This is
significant as the core projects and programs outlined by Staff have tremendous grant
underwriting potential. The TIF forecasts for the next three fiscal years reflect only
projects completed but not fully on the tax rolls and projects in construction. In fact, no
significant projects are forecasted to come on the tax rolls until year 2006/2007. The
new project for 2006/2007 is the Marina Project which has already sold out.
Staff did not speculate on major capital projects beyond 200612007 due to the fact that
many elements are unknown and the CRA will need to evaluate program/project status
at that time. Further, it is forecasted that the CRA will not have significant additional
debt capacity until 2006/2007 (approximately $6,000,000). Therefore, the first phase of
underwriting and project completion needs to be completed and evaluated for a clear
vision for second phase debt if chosen.
The RBC Dain Rauscher Company will use direction from the CRA to develop debt
underwriting options. The CRA has the ability to recover "cash" expenditures pdor to
issuing any tax exempt bond by including a "Re-imbursement Resolution" statement in
any potential offering, therefore, the CRA has time to develop a complete
Project/Program/Finance strategy. In fact, underwriting analysis uses the previous
year's tax revenue to establish current debt capacity. Therefore, if we wait until next
year's TIF revenues are established in August of this year, our current TIF Income can
be used. The CRA had a $1,000,000 jump in TIF between 2002/2003 and 2003/2004.
Therefore, an October 1, 2004, underwriting target date in feasible and best for the
CRA.
The Finance forecast also uses a very conservative coverage ratio of 2.0 times debt
load. Other enhancements may further help the CRA underwriting capacity. These
concepts will be developed based on Board direction.
4796b
Summary
I feel the proposed programs and projects represent a diverse investment in the CRA
Area which is responsive to citizen and developer needs. All CRA matching Grant
Programs, events, Business Development Programs are sustained in the forecast. It
balances programs with projects. The proposal puts CRA plans on the ground yet does
not leave behind social or citizen issues. Geographic distribution has focus in two
"Hubs" that are tied together and then tied to all of Boynton by a proposed trolley
system. This comprehensive vision seeks to strengthen all of the CRA incrementally
together. No one is left behind. Our comprehensive updated LDR, Master
Redevelopment Plan consolidation, Design Guidelines and TCEA give firm directions
for developers and piece of mind for citizens.
The direction given here will be, to a great extent, the legacy of the CRA. These
programs and projects are the visible culmination of some 10 years of study. It will set
the foundation for future CRA direction. Once again, Staff is not asking for approvals,
but direction for work to be completed on CRA elements. These will be presented in
Staffs project updates and further addressed in the 2004/2005 Budget.

As Financial Advisor to the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agenc7 (the "CRA"), RBC Dam
Rauscher (" RBC Dam") was asked to review the capital funding and investment options available to the CRA.
Specifically, we were asked to review the following areas related to developing the CRA's Capita[ Plan:
· Capital Funding Options · Funding capacity for projects utilizing projected cash available and potential debt financings
· Debt capacity over the next six years based upon the CRA's current budget
· Financing alternatives if debt is considered
· Investment Options
· Cash management
· Short-term investn~%~ts
Following is a preliminary discussion of these alternatives util'~ng the information provided to us by the CRA.
Depending on the type and size of the projects selected by the CRA, a more detailed analysis and specific
recommendations will be provided.
CAPITAL FUNDING OPTIONS
The CRA's Budget Projections include projections for the current year's budget, FY 2004/2005, and projections

** Preliminary Evaluations
The projections for future tax increment growth appear to be consen~ve given the CRA's rec~ histoo'.
However, in FYE 1992, the CRA experienced only 2% growth and in FYEs 1993 and 1994, the CRA
experienced significant losses in increment revenues of -22% and -20% respectively. Due to the inherent
economic vulnerability of tax increment revenues, the CRA must be extremely cautious in begirmmg the
construction of capital projects which require future growth for funding. Any such projects should be planned in
phases so that if growth does not occur or is delayed, the current phase of the project has sufficient funds to
complete construction and stand on its own.
Utilizing the Budget Projections provided by the CRA, RBC Dam reviewed the following potential funding
scenarios for CRA capital projects:
1. Cash Only
2. Cash and Debt Financing in FY 2004/2005
3. Cash and Debt Financing in FY 2004/2005 and FY 2006/2007
Cash Only
RBC Dam recomniends ttmt the CRA establi.qh a target fund balance policy to maintain a fund balance of at least
20% ofthe prior years' tax increment revenues. This is a conservative target fund balance, as most governments
target a fund balance of 10% of the prior 5ear's revenues. Based upon the revenue, expense and other
assumptions in the CRA's Budget Projections, funding all of the $16,302,408 in projects in cash alone results in
significant annual deficits be~nning in FY 2004/2005. This scenario is illmmated on the folloxndng page.

Draft
Based on current assmnptions, the CRA ~vould be able to fund approximately $15,200,000 m projects ff it
wished to fund such projects from cash only, and such funding would need to occur more evenly over the 6-year
period under consideration. This would clearly require the CRA to reduce or eliminate portions of projects m the
Budget Projection.
Cash and Debt in FY 2004/2005
Due to the current ~emely Iow interest rate environment, man3, govetmctents are preserving portions of their
cash for furore financial flexibilit3, and borrowing at current low yields for capital projects. The Bond Buyer
Revenue Bond Index, which is composed of bonds rated "Al"with a 30-year maturity, is currently at 5.0% and
has averaged 6.8% over the past 20 years. In addition to current low yields, longer-mm financing for capital
projects more equitably spreads the cost of improvements with longer average lives over the future taxpayers who
x~411 be enjo34ng the benefits of such projects. Following is a chart which illuminates interest rate trends over the
past 20 years.

Based on thc FY 2003/2004 TIF revenues of approximately $2.4 million, thc CRA could obtain approximately
$9,250,000 in proceeds for projects fi.om a debt issue in FY 2004/2005. This debt issue assumes a 22-year
amortization at a 6.00% interest rate with a 2.00x coverage rcquircmem of revenues over debt scr,icc. Current
tax-exempt )4elds for 20-year "AAA"-rated seoififies are currently much lower than our interest rate assumptio~
at only approximately 3.8%. However, due to the preliminary nature of this anal>~is, it was assumed that the
CRA would issue non-rated debt. Credit enhancement may be available for the CRA, which could si~tmifieantly
Iower its cost of borrowing.
Based on thc current projects in thc Budget, a debt issue which produces $9,250,000 in proceeds m FY
2004/2005 fully funds the CRA's projects and allows the CRA to maintain a target fund balance in excess of
20% of thc prior ),car's tax increment rcvcuucs. This scenario is summarized on thc following page.

Cash and Debt in FY 2004/2005 and FY 2006/2007
Based on the projections, by FY 2006/2007 the CRA could have additional debt capacit), to produce
approximately $6 million in proceeds for projects due to growth in TIF revenues. This debt issue assumes a 25-
~vear amortization at a 6.50% imerest rate with 2.00x revenue coverage of debt service. We utili?ed a higher
interest rate on this financing as it is further in the future and poses more uncertainty, in terms of interest rotes at
the time of the financing.
An additional debt issue in FY 2006/2007 would allow the CRA to add capital projects in 2007 through 2009
fzom the additional proceeds. This scenario is summarized on the following page.
Financing Alternatives
If the CRA determines that it would like to incur debt to fund projects, there are several financing options that we
will analyze for the CRA. These include:
· Bank loang
* Bond issues through private placement or pubhc offering
Typically, bank loans arc morc cconomical for financings under $3 million and bond issucs arc mom economical
for financings in excess of $3 milh'on. However, if the CRA must issue non-rated debt, we would evaluate both
options rclgardlcss of sizc to dctcxmine thc most cost-cffcctivc and flcxiblc structure for thc CRA. A bank or
private investor with a local presence may have more understanding of the CRA's characteristics, which may be
reflected in the terms ava. liable to the CRA. The credit enhancemem that may be available to the CRA will
dramatically affect the type and cost of the financing alternatives available. We look forward to discussing these
alternatives with the CRA in greater detail as we develop a Capital Plan.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS
RBC Dam recommends that the CRA adopt an investment policy to provide guidance and permitted investments
for its available funds. All public entities in the State of Florida are required to follow the State of Florida's
guidelines for permitted invesmtems unless such entity adopts its own fontal policy. The Govemmeaxt Finance
Officer's Association (GFOA) recommends that all governmental entities adopt their own investmem policy to
enhance the entity's awareness of its invested funds and to customize the policy for the entit?"s needs and
characteristics. Attached is an article from the Governmental Finance Review, which is a GFOA publication, on
investment policies and the GFOA's sample inv~ policy.
We would be pleased to assist the CRA in creating an investment policy. Once a Capital Plan is developed, RBC
Dam will work with the CRA to determine the suitable mix of cash and short-term investments depending on the
cash requirements and timing of the project needs.
Cash Management
RBC Dam reconanends that the CRA consider immediately depositing its liquid funds in the State Board of
Administration's Local Government Pooled Fund to increase its current interest earnings on cash. The SBA's
yield for the month of January, 2004 xms 1.24%. The CRA's cunvnt Business Money Market account only
)4elded 1.00% for that same time period. Following is a comparison of the CRA's recent yields versus the SBA
yiclds.

statcd by thc SBA, are as follows:
· Provide a short-term, very. liquid, high quality investment vehicle to participating local govemments
· Purchase securities consistent with the Florida Statutes (Ch. 215.47)
· Operate the pool as a money market-like fund using the SEC revetment requirements for 2a-7 Money

Short-Term Investments
There are several oppommities for the CRA to increase its investment earnings by investing in permitted
investments fbr longer-term periods, tbr example with a duration of 1-2 years. A short-tenu portfolio ibr the
CRA could include investments such as:
· Laddered Treasury or Agency bonds
· Invesmaent Agreements such as Repurchase Agreements and Guaranteed Investment Contracts
Such investments would enable the CRA to lengthen its mt3.-'- for tids which are not currently reqmred for
capital projects and increase its earnings. Laddered short-term investments help the CRA attain a market rate of

r~tum throughout all economic cycles, as securities would be immm~ on a ~ basis. In~an~ agre~nents
allow the CRA to lock in longer-term returns while allowin~ for penuitted construction draws without penalties.
Once the CRA's projects are determined, we v, ill discuss specific investment structures to increase its retrain
while m_ajntaining constlllction draw flexibility.
CONCLUSION
There are numerous capital funding and investment options available to the CRA to assist in accomplishing its
economic development goals. With direction from the CRA on the level and timing of its desired projects, RBC
Dam will work the CRA to develop a Capital Plan to most cost-effectively fund these projects. We look forward
to incorporating suitable investment .types and maturities to create a complete Capital Plan for the CRA.

Deiray-Boynton Academy Project Description
Delray-Boynton Academy is in the process of seeking approval for building a
school on the southeast corner of Martin Luther King Blvd.'and Railroad. We are
'-'seekin~ a granL Lo-ma~h our efforts toward crea~ing our str'~ur¢ in--c-ompliance
with Boynton Beach's Community Redevelopment Agency. One of our aims is to
form a bond with the Boynton Beach communiLy by emphasizing its strength, as
our at-risk sbJdents are in great nccd of struct~Jre and a sense of familY. We feel
that ~he best method of ag._hieving_ this is by aligning ourselves with the
COmmunity Redevelopment Agency and building a SChool that meets if not
exceeds the expectations of the City of Boynton Beach. It is our experience that
when people are proud of their community, they become the pride of their
community. By participating in the Facjade Improvements (];rants Program,
Boynton-Delray Academy is not only helping its students and their families feel
proud of their surroundings, but helping unite the community as a whole.
It was the suggestion of a CRA board member, knowing the additional expense
of renovating-our site plans that we apply for this grant in order to enhance the
exterior of our building. Boynton-Delray Academy is the eastern gateway into
the Heart of Boynton Beach and the CRA felt that such a project could be
approved if we augment the structure that will represent the pillar of the eastern
entrance into the Heart of Boynton Beach Project.

Presentation for moving forward with Museum Feasibility
February 26, 2004
The CRA reviewed the attached SFWMD comment letter on projects and project
concepts which were part of the overall potential vision for the BBB, Promenade and
Riverwalk Area. This SFVVMD briefing took place dudng a time when the Hall Property
settlement was not finalized. The meeting was at the request of the sFWMD. The
SFWMD Staff had questions about all potential aspects of the area development
inCluding the CRA, City and the Related Group's Marina Village.
As part of the informational gathering by the SFWMD, the museum concept for the area
was questioned. No design, plan, or any documents as to exact location were given.
Basic questions were addressed but no detailed response was given concerning any
permitting issues. This limited information was based on two perspectives: First, there
is no design or footprint and second, we could not speak to development potential or
legal proceedings that were pending. Therefore, the SFVVMD's response was a
predictable, No. The exact comment was that the first consideration is always to
consider a different location when looking at the waterfront. The comment was not
responded to by me or the engineers concerning possible mitigating designs,
placement, etc. We wanted to make sure that the permits for the "baser project were
the focus and not held up in any way.
The SFWMD decisions are based on impacts of the proposed project on protected
resources. The extent of the environmental impact issues are yet to be defined due to
the fact that the museum size, design, visitation levels, etc. are not completed. These
4760
issues are what the feasibility study will look at. With the current completed detailed
environmental surveys and SFWMD direction, we can now work on the exact extent of
the impact on time, design and budgets.
The scope of work for the Museum Feasibility Study evaluates the site and can
recommend other sites. The Feasibility StUdy has many facets of which site location
feasibility is one element. Only this study can tell the full story as to this Project's merit
and feasibility. I recommend that we proceed with the study as contracted.

Subject: Proposed Boynton Beach Blvd, Extension and Future CRA Projects
Dear Mr, Hutchinson:
Thank you for aiiowtng District staff the opportunity to meet with you on January
7~ to discuss the Boynton Beach Boulevard extension and projects planned for
the area. The purpose of this letter is to summarize the comments and feedback
regarding these projects offered during that meeting and in subsequent
discussions.
Bovrt~on Beaeh Boulevard Ex~, n$1on (/u~lication No. 031201-17)
District staff acknowledges the public safety concerns necessitating a cul-de-sac
at the easterly terminus of Boynton Beach Boulevard. Staff requests a written
analysis to support the verbally-discussed public safety need. Due to the high
ecological value of the mangroves to be filled, staff suggests design
modifications to minimize wetland impacts, including reducing the footprint of the
cul-de-sac to the minimum necessary for emergency vehicle usage, eliminating
the elements that are not required for vehicles (i.e., sidewalk and landscape
buffer), and Incorporating a retaining wall instead of a filled slope.
District staff met with the City's consultant on January $0, 2004 to look at
mitigation opportunities at the Boynton Boat Club Park and at intracoastal Park.
Although these sites do not offer mitigation opportunities appropriate to offset the
anticipated wetland impacts, staff provided suggestions for suitable mitigation
alternatives, including oreafion of an equivalent acreage of similar mangrove
forest and enhancement and/or preservation of additional mangroves. Staff will
continue to work with the City and CRA to evaluate all wetland mitigation options.
Prqmenade (Future,CRA Proc_ ram Element)
Staff concurs that a walkway could be developed that would provide safe
pedestrian access to the ICWW while avoiding encroachment into adjacent
Lamna~ It_. LindahL P.E. Tmdi {C W'~bu'ns,

wetlands. Staff recommends designing the width and Ioc~tion of the proposed
walkway to fit within the existing uplands.
Bovnton ~mmona Dear Facility IFutum CRA Elemfll~t)
Staff recommends designing the planned docking facility along the ICWW to
avoid impacts to adjacent mangroves and seagresses, and to avoid the necessity
of dredging an access channel. Issues that may also need to be addressed
during per~_~.'ng Include manatee protection and state lands authorization.
Riverwalk IFutu~'e CRA Elaine..,.nt)
This element of the CRA plan provides an opportunity to Improve pedestrian
views of the ICWW and to protect the mangrove shoreline. Design of
Riverwalk should avoid encroachment into mangroves and/or shading and
disturbance of seagrasses, Staff suggests including a riprap crib structure
beneath the decking as a wavebreak to protect the shoreline,
M~laeum ~Potentlel F~tre CRA Element)
Staff recommends locating the museum at an alternative upland location.
Situating such a facility in the mangrove wetlands or in the ICWW would not meet
Environmental Resource Permitting criteria,
District staff commends the City on the acquisition and preservation of an
ecologically sensitive mangrove forest, We hope that the comments outlined
above provide helpful guidance in planning pedestrian access to the ICWW while
also protecting this valuable natural resource. District staff encourages and
welcomes the opportunity to offer feedback and suggestions in planning this and
other future projects invoMng wetland resources. Please do not hesitate to
contact me at (561) 682-6951 or Barbara Conmy at (561) 682-8937 should you
wish to dis=uss these projects further.

Promenade) of Gateway features costing an estimated $295,000 per set. The next
major public element to be considered is the public art at either end of the Promenade.
The center piece art has a budget of $1,500,000 which we propose as being
underwritten from grants and private donations. Other "Public" art would be added as
donors are secured and a system for selection and review is created.
The Promenade project does feature public restrooms, an information kiosk, EMS
equipment storage and a police center (total building size 600 to 800 sq. ft.) at the entry.
A "Day Deck" for fishing, boat drop-off and pick-up and water linkage is proposed at the
Intracoastal. These are key elements to the function of the project as an area for
events, security and public enjoyment.
The project cost backup is presented as two columns; one with the entire project and
the other with team recommendations. Please note that the CRA has paid
approximately $384,000 toward the project to date, therefore, the balance to be spent
reflects these draws; i.e. $7,237,366 total cost -$384,000 paid to date = $6,853,366
plus projected additional land cost of $1,000,000 plus construction management of
$200,000 for a project total of $8,053,366 for the team's alternative proposal and
$18,301,920 total cost - $384,000 paid to date = $17,445,088 plus $1,000,000 for land
and $295,000 for construction management for a total cost of $18,740,088. The team
does not need exact approvals but a direction to proceed.

Memo:
To: CRA Board
From:
Douglas Hutchinson, CRA Executive Director
Re: Boynton Beach Boulevard Extension, Promenade and Riverwalk
Design and Probable Project Cost
Date: March 1, 2004
The CRA Director, Jonathan Ricketts and Dennis Haynes have worked all week to go
over the Boynton Beach Boulevard Project which included a major design change for
the Promenade construction cross section design that saved about $3,000,'000. The
resulting project is actually better as it impacts less environmental resources. However,
with 100% drawings on the BBB Extension, 30% completed on the Promenade and
30% on the Riverwalk, the cost (excluding additional land costs) is estimated
approximately $18,301,970 or roughly twice the initial concepts (this was a preliminary
cost estimate performed prior to start of design).
The team recommends the project be adjusted by focusing on two elements of the three
and to complete them in a manner that they "stand alone" in finish quality. This
recommendation includes phasing the Riverwalk construction to a later time. However,
the team strongly suggests that the Riverwalk be permitted at this time. The permitting
will clear the way for future construction. The Riverwalk would be reviewed in two or
three years for potential second level debt funding, grants and underwriting along side
the proposed museum.
The team recommends that every effort be made to include "Art Items." The Gateway
elements are not included in the revised $7,237,366 budget (this includes $1,000,000
for land), however, it is felt that the project has potential funds in contingencies and
other miscellaneous items that could cover the 2 sets (BBB and Fed. and BBB Ext. at

Feasibility Assessment Proposal
Each of the tasks are described below.
Task One: Review of Existing Literature, Reports and Data
This task involves the search and cursory review of such documents as City plans,
existing permits, Mangrove Park boundary surveys, environmental surveys or studies,
current or tidal data, ICW boundary information, historical aerials, historical shoreline
data/surveys and other pertinent background information about the surrounding area
and its history,
Task Two: Acquisition of Site Data
This task focuses on the specific site and its present condition. Recent aerials will be
needed, along with existing boundary surveys, easements, and other encumbrances.
Any other site data such as seagrass surveys, bathymetry, topography, wetland
delineations, wildlife surveys, etc. will be compiled and summarized.
Task Three: Environmental Resources Evaluation
Feasibility-level effort studies under this task will not involve an underwater seagrass
survey or completion of an upland vegetation survey; however, literature reviews and a
brief site visit will be included as part of this task. Comments will be made relative to
this level of environmental assessment.
Task Four: Meeting with Agencies
Meetings and/or telephone calls with DEP, SFWMD, USACE, City of Boynton Beach,
CRA, and Palm Beach County will be conducted to gather input on the feasibility of this
project concept in this location. Input from these meetings/calls will only be as good as
the concept development at the time of the meeting/call.
Task Five: Shoreline Management
A concept for the structure, or even the size of the waterfront portion of the structure,
has not been developed at this point. It may be possible to discuss some design
concepts/alternatives that will be acceptable in terms of shoreline erosion and
management of resources at this point. This task will cover an informed discussion of
these topics given the data gathered in Tasks 1 through 3.
CUMMING MCGILLIVRAY
It is envisaged that CMLLC's initial involvement will be to review the construction cost
information in the feasibility study in conjunction with the program information and
architects conceptual design.

Task Three: Concept Site Plan Review
EDSA will review the Concept Site Plan in terms of its feasibility. EDSA, in conjunction
with ATM Engineers, will review the site and available data provided by the City as
follows:
· Size
· Topography and slope
· Hydrology and drainage (byATM)
· Vegetation (byATM)
· Environmentalconditions (by ATM)
· Utilities
· Circulation and related infrastructure
· Archaeological/cultural conditions (byATM)
Task Four: Planning Report
EDSA will prepare a report containing a brief overview of the process, analysis of the
site and land use regulations and zoning, overview of physical aspects of the site and
review and recommendation of the proposed project site plan.
Task Five: Coordination
EDSA will coordinate its services with the design team, particularly with ATM Engineers
and Cumming McGillivray Cost Estimators.
APPLIED TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT
The proposed scope of services is to prepare and complete a feasibility study for
shoreline management and environmental permitting for the referenced project. Total
shoreline frontage is approximately 600 ft. along the Intracoastal Waterway, in an area
where bank erosion has historically been a problem, the structure is "non-water
dependent," and is sited in the mangroves. All of these conditions create challenges
that should be addressed in these early phases of the project. The Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (DEP), South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Palm Beach County Department of
Environmental Resources Management, and the City of Boynton Beach will be the
primary permitting agencies and will be contacted as part of this feasibility study.
The feasibility study will utilize existing data to the extent practical and will be closely
coordinated with the City of Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).

Task Seven: Economic and Performance Parameters
Overall operating revenues for the proposed development will be estimated based upon
per capita spending estimates and attendance estimates. Per capita spending
estimates will be based upon an assessment of per capita spending in other
comparable facilities, and an analysis of visitor spending at other local visitor attractions
within the marketplace. The per capita spending will consider all potential profit centers
including, but not limited to, admission, merchandise, food and beverage, and other.
Attendance and per capita spending will be estimated for a period of five years. It will
be utilized to determine operating revenues. Operating costs will also be determined for
the development of an operating pro forma. The pro forma will include, but is not limited
to: all estimated operating expenses and capital expenditures. The pro forma will be
utilized to determine a warranted investment of the overall facility. The warranted
investment is defined as the total investment that can be justified given operating cash
flow.
Within this task, BLG will engage the Conway Company in regards to recommended
financial strategies based on their experience with similar projects from a non-for-profit
perspective. This will include recommendations in regards to corporate and operations
structure, as well as the foundation structure.

ATTACHMENT A
PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES -
SAVAGE CREATURES OF THE ANCIENT SEAS
Baker Leisure Group has assembled a strong development team to answer the
question:
"Is the Savage Creatures of the Ancient Seas the right project at the right place at the
right time?"
The proposed project is considered a catalyst for the. redevelopment of Boynton Beach
and will blend entertainment and educational elements that are related to the timeline of
nautical experiences, through both man made and natural elements. The development
team includes teams specializing in financial and market analysis, architectural design,
creative development, cost assessment, fabrication, authentication, and non-for-profit
organization and development for fund procurement. In this initial phase, the Baker
Leisure Group team has assembled the team to conduct an assessment of the current
work product as completed by the Community Redevelopment Agency. Each team
member will utilize their expertise to determine the feasibleness of the project and,
where applicable, make suggestions and recommendations that strengthen the
proposed project.
The following section presents the scope of work per each team as applicable to the
phase one process. It is separated by team member. It is important to stress that
although each team member will be conducting independent exercises, they will also be
conducted in tandem with all teams to insure that information gleaned from each team
member will be incorporated within the progress of the project as a whole.

MEMO
TO: CRA Board
FROM:
Susan Vielhauer
SUBJECT: Festival/Event/Program Application
DATE:
March 10, 2004
Staff has reviewed the Festival/Event/Program structure. In light of the CRA Board's
goals and directives for this program, Staff has developed the following program and
application process for the Festival/Event/Programs.
First staff looked at the purpose and guidelines for this program to make sure that the
CRA Board's goals of collaborative efforts and partnerships as well as staff involvement
and funding were addressed. The guidelines now limit the program to Non-Profits, set
maximum grant amounts, developed the process by which the applicant must apply for
the program and established the criteria for receiving these funds. The guidelines also
set the criteria for the accounting of the Festival/Event/Programs, which must be
supplied to the CRA Board in order to receive approval for request of funds.
Additionally, staff looked at the application to make sure the CRA Board goals were
addressed as well as the liability issues. First, the applicant is now required to carry the
event insurance naming the CRA as additional insured and sign a hold harmless
agreement. If the applicant does not have the insurance, the CRA will acquire the
insurance for protection and deduct the amount from the amount of grant awarded.
Additional, the application requires the applicant to give a complete description of the
Festival/Event/Program, which includes event scope, schedules, dates, maps and event
sites, budget for the Festival/Event/Program, marketing plan as well as cost projections.
If the Festival/Event/Program has a history, they will be required to include this
information with the application. The application also addresses the level of funding
requested by the applicant as well as their own staff and volunteer efforts and requested
CRA staff involvement.
Legal Staff, along with input from our insurance agent, have reviewed the documents in
an effort to make sure that the CRA is covered in the event of a problem.
Future Festivals, Events, or Programs applicants will complete these forms and staff will
review the documents prior to forwarding the request for funding to the CRA Board.

Consideration of Revised Direct Incentive Program
February 26, 2004
This is the newest revision for our Direct Incentive Program. You have seen this
concept almost a year now. This draft does have some re-writes to cladfy the process.
I will say that this issue is the major issue facing US housing today.
This issue drives sprawl in Palm Beach County. The CRA can build on this Program
with matching sources. I recommend that the CRA step forward with this amendment to

MLK Purchase Process Update
February 26, 2004
Over the past months, questions have arisen as to the process the CRA will be required
to use for the approved acquisition of Phase I Properties in the MLK Corridor. HUD and
our legal staff will have comments on the .legal impacts; however, my recommendation
is to follow the HUD Uniform Relocation Act process. This will add significant cost to
the acquisition costs but ensures a fair process to all parties. My strongest argument is
that'the City and CRA need to follow some guidelines in this area. We are literally
buying properties next door or across the street from each other. It is very confusing to
citizens if the "City" is buying property under different systems. I strongly believe that a
unified purchasing system will both be seen as fair and consistent.

Real Property Acquisitions subject to Uniform Relocation Assistance in Real
Property Acquisitions for Federal and Federally-Assisted Programs 42 USC 4601,
et seq.
During a recent telephone conference which included representatives from the City
administration and the Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director, an analysis was
requested of the additional requirements of a property acquisition conducted in conformity with
the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act for submission to the Board at its next meeting.
The following constitutes an outline of the legal requirements that must be adhered to under the
Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance.
I. APPRAISALS.
Prior to negotiations, Section 24.102 of the Act requires that an appraisal be obtained. (An
appraisal is unnecessary if the fair market value of the property to be acquired is estimated at
$2,500.00 or less.)
Section 24.103 sets forth criteria for the appraisals which in the minimum must contain the
following items:
4792
The purpose and/or the function of the appraisal, a definition of the estate being
appraised, and a statement of the assumptions and limiting conditions affecting
the appraisal.
An adequate description of the physical characteristics of the property being
appraised, a statement of the known and observed encumbrances, if any, title
information, location, zoning, present use, an analysis of highest and best use, and
at least a five (5) year sales history of the property.
All relevant and reliable approaches to value consistent with commonly accepted
professional appraisal practices.
A description of comparable sales, including a description of all relevant,
physical, legal and economic factors, such as parties to the transaction, source and
method of financing, and verification by a party involved in the transaction.
A statement of the value of the real property to be acquired and, for partial
acquisition, a statement of the value of the damages and benefits, if any, to the
remaining real property, where appropriate.
The effective date of valuation, date of appraisal, signature and certification of the
appraiser.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.
In order to perform an appraisal under the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act, the appraiser
shall be certified in accordance with Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989.
The Agency obtaining the appraisal shall have a qualified reviewing appraiser examine all
appraisals to insure that they meet applicable appraisal requirements. The reviewing appraiser's
certification of the recommended or approved value of the property shall be set forth in a signed
statement which identifies the appraisal reports reviewed and explains the basis for such
recommendation or approval.
Cost Factor: Cost of an additional reviewing appraiser.
II. NEGOTIATIONS OF CONTRACT OR OPTION AGREEMENT.
Under the Federal Act and prior to the initiation of negotiations, the Agency shall establish an
mount which it believes is just compensation for the real property. The amount shall not be less
than the approved appraisal of the fair market value of the property, taking into account the value
of allowable damages or benefits to any remaining property.
Promptly thereafter, the Agency shall make a written offer to the owner to acquire the property
for the full amount believed to be just compensation.
The Act requires that along with the initial written purchase offer, the owner shall be given a
written statement of the basis for the offer of just compensation, which shall include:
a. A statement of the amount offered as just compensation;
4793
Co
A description, location and identification of the real property and the interest in
the real property to be acquired; and
An identification of the buildings, structures and other improvements (including
removable building equipment and trade fixtures), which are considered to be a
part of the real property for which the offer ofjust compensation is made.
The Relocation Act requires that the agency shall make reasonable efforts to contact the owner
or the owner's representative and discuss its offer to purchase the property, including the basis of
the offer of just compensation; and, explain its acquisition policies and procedures, including its
payment of incidental expenses in accordance with the Act. Incidental expenses shall include
recording fees, transfer taxes, documentary stamps, evidence of rifle, and boundary surveys.
However, the agency is not required to pay costs solely required to perfect the owner's rifle to the
real property. Chapter 166 does not require that the municipality pay any of the seller's
expenses.
Upon receipt of the written purchase offer, the owner is afforded a reasonable oppommity to
consider the offer and present material which the owner believes is relevant to determining the
value of the property and to suggest modification in the purposed terms and conditions of the
purchase. Accordingly, the purchase price for the property may exceed the amount"offered as
just compensation when reasonable efforts to negotiate an agreement at that amount have failed
and an authorized agency official approves such adminis~tive settlement as being reasonable,
prudent and in the public interest.
Cost Factor: Significant administrative activity and record keeping. Additional legal over-view
to confirm compliance. We estimate an additional ten to fifteen hours of legal time per
transaction to monitor "Act" compliance.
EXPENSES INCIDENTAL TO TRANSFER OF TITLE.
Under the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act, the owner of real property shall be reimbursed for
all reasonable expenses necessarily incurred for:
ao
Recording fees;
Transfer fees;
Documentary stamps;
Evidence of title;
Surveys; and
Other similar expenses incidental to conveying the real property.
Costs for which an owner is not entitled to reimbursement include penalty costs and other
charges for prepayment and any preexisting recorded mortgage entered into in good faith
encumbering the real property and the pro rata portion of any prepaid real property taxes which
are allocable to the period after which the agency obtains rifle to the property.
Cost Factor: Additional closing costs.
4794
3
IV. Conclusion.
In the final analysis the governmental entity that must comply with the "Act" can factor in
additional legal costs of approximately 15% - 20% above the costs associated with acquiring a
property other than under the "Act". Administrative activity (staff time and record keeping) to
assure compliance with the "Act" could drive the overall costs an additional 10%-15% higher.
In addition, the cost of the review appraiser would be incurred.

Cash Flows, Budgets, and Financial Projections for Board Direction
March 1, 2004
This memo is a team effort between Staff and RBC Dain Rauscher (formerly Hough
Company) to depict potential projects, programs, operations and underwriting funding.
This is for direction only. These numbers, projects, etc. will be further developed based
on the Board's general direction from this presentation forecast.
The Staff has attempted to outline a broad based concept of program and project
content. It is Staff's belief that a balanced vision of projects and support programs are
critical to sustain re-investment and development in the CRA. It is now time to more
clearly assess the CRA's underwriting capacity and establish the true scale of the plan
implementation.
The forecast recognizes opportunities such as MPO Transit Grants which offer
matching funds to develop elements of our TCEA Transportation Program. It addresses
police patrols that reinforce safety of people in the CRA area both on the street and in
parking lots that have increased usage. These are proposed to be served by the trolley
system. The Trolley Program with grant application is slated for presentation at the May
Board Meeting.
The Boynton Beach Boulevard Design/Build Project moves forward with two of the three
elements to anchor the waterfront development. The project provides support and ties
to the traditional small marina business activity through a drop off and pick up day dock
at the end of the Promenade.
4796
The Head of Boynton Area is slated for $4,000,000 in property acquisition and street
improvements to begin substantial redevelopment in the MLK/Seacrest Corridor. This
commitment represents an immediate increase in activity to continue the increased
developer interest recently seen for this area. The target date for the release of a
Redevelopment RFQ is slated for FallNVinter 2004. This timing will allow the CRA/City
to have acquired by contract and/or dosing Phase I properties.
The proposed project list addresses'a CBD Public Parking element. The location has
been targeted for over 5 years and represents a concerted effort between the City,
CRA, Church and other existing property owners to create a downtown parking site at a
large savings to the public. This public/private concept is nearing a draft concept stage
and will be ready for CRA action over the next several months. If this site is not secured
by the CRA, development may move forward without a public parking anchor at the
location of this project (the "Exxon block" of BBB/Federal/4th Ave.).
The Museum Feasibility Study has been included to move forward to site permitting or
altemative site development as the next phase. This is contingent on a positive study
outcome; however, the feasibility study funding is critical to move the project into place
for consideration of grants, sponsorship and potential Phase II debt underwriting.
The historic core of Boynton is addressed with a $1,000,000 underwriting of the Old
High School Adaptive Re-use. The funds, when combined with the City's existing
funding to date and proposed $300,000 for stabilization, will be used as matching funds
to secure the remaining restoration funding. This project along with the Children's
Museum and the new library expansion creates a cultural core similar to Delray's "Old
School" Square. This investment will attract development in the CRA Area through
enhanced quality of life and creation of a significant public space.
The proposed forecast reflects commitments to the Marina and Arches Projects. Their
cost impacts and cash flows are accounted for both in cost and TIF Income.
4796a
The income forecasts are very conservative. Appreciation expectations are almost 50%
of the County's projections and very limited grant funding is° projected. This is
significant as the core projects and programs outlined by Staff have tremendous grant
underwriting potential. The TIF forecasts for the next three fiscal years reflect only
projects completed but not fully on the tax rolls and projects in construction. In fact, no
significant projects are forecasted to come on the tax rolls until year 200612007. The
new project for 2006~2007 is the Marina Project which has already sold out.
Staff did not speculate on major capital projects beyond 2006/2007 due to the fact that
many elements are unknown and the CRA will need to evaluate program/project status
at that time. Further, it is forecasted that the CRA will not have significant additional
debt capacity until 2006/2007 (approximately $6,000,000). Therefore, the first phase of
underwriting and project completion needs to be completed and evaluated for a clear
vision for second phase debt if chosen.
The RBC Dain Rauscher Company will use direction from the CRA to develop debt
underwriting options. The CRA has the ability to recover "cash" expenditures pdor to
issuing any tax exempt bond by including a "Re-imbursement Resolution" statement in
any potential offering, therefore, the CRA has time to develop a complete
Project/Program/Finance strategy. In fact, underwriting analysis uses the previous
year's tax revenue to establish current debt capacity. Therefore, if we wait until next
year's TIF revenues are established in August of this year, our current TIF Income can
be used. The CRA had a $1,000,000 jump in TIF between 2002/2003 and 2003/2004.
Therefore, an October 1, 2004, underwriting target date in feasible and best for the
CRA.
The Finance forecast also uses a very conservative coverage ratio of 2.0 times debt
load. Other enhancements may further help the CRA underwriting capacity. These
concepts will be developed based on Board direction.
4796b
Summary
I feel the proposed programs and projects represent a diverse investment in the CRA
Area which is responsive to citizen and developer needs. All CRA matching Grant
Programs, events, Business Development Programs are sustained in the forecast. It
balances programs with projects. The proposal puts CRA plans on the ground yet does
not leave behind social or citizen issues. Geographic distribution has focus in two
"Hubs" that are tied together and then tied to all of Boynton by a proposed trolley
system. This comprehensive vision seeks to strengthen all of the CRA incrementally
together. No one is left behind. Our comprehensive updated LDR, Master
Redevelopment Plan consolidation, Design Guidelines and TCEA give firm directions
for developers and piece of mind for Citizens.
The direction given here will be, to a great extent, the legacy of the CRA. These
programs and projects are the visible culmination of some 10 years of study. It will set
the foundation for future CRA direction. Once again, Staff is not asking for approvals,
but direction for work to be completed on CRA elements. These will be presented in
Staff's project updates and further addressed in the 2004/2005 Budget.

The projoztions for future tax increment growth appear to be conservative given the CRA's recent history.
However, in FYE 1992, the CRA experienced only 2% growth and in FYEs 1993 and 1994, the CRA
experienced significant losses in mcremem revenues of -22% and -20% respectively. Due to the inherent
econonfic vulnerability of tax increment revenues, the CRA must be extremely canfiom in beginning the
construction of capital projects which require future growth for funding. Any such projects should be planned in
phases so that ff growth does not occur or is delayed, the current phase of the project has sufficient funds to
complete construction and stand on its own.
Utilizing the Budget Projections provided by the CRA, RBC Dain reviewed the following potmtial funding
scenarios for CRA capital projects:
1. Cash Only
2. Cash and Debt Financing in FY 2004/2005
3. Cash and Debt Financing in FY 2004/2005 and FY 2006/2007
Cash Only
RBC Dain recommends that the CRA establish a target fund balance policy to maintain a fund balance of at least
20% of the prior years' tax increment revenues. This is a conservative target fund balance, as most governments
target a fund balance of 10% of the prior ~ear's revenues. Based upon the revenue, expense and other
assumptions in the CRA's Budget Projections, funding all of the $16,302,408 in projects in cash alone results m
siLmificam ~nnual deficits beginning in FY 2004/2005. This scenario is illustrated on the following page.
4796f
RBC
Dain Rauscher
[ § '$8 8888888
4796g
Oraft
Based on ctwrent assumptions, the CRA would be able to fund approximately $15,200,000 m projects if it
wished to fund such projects from cash only, and such funding would need to occur more evenly over the 6-.vear
period under consideration. This would clearly require the CRA to reduce or elimi~_qte portions of projects in the
Budget Projection.
Cash and Debt in FY 2004/2005
Due to the current extremely Iow imerest rate enviromnent, many govemmems are preserving portions of trek
cash for future financial flexibility, and borrowing at current low ~elds for capital projects. The Bond Buyer
Revenue Bond Index, which is composed of bonds rated "Al"with a 30-year maturity, is currently at 5.0% and
has averaged 6.8% over the past 20 years. In addition to current low yields, longer-texm financing for capital
projects more equitably spreads the cost of improvements with longer average lives over the future taxpay6~s who
will be enjo34ng the benefits of such projects. Following is a chart which illustrates interest rote trends over the
past 20 years.

Based on thc FY 2003/2004 TIF rcvmucs of approximately $2.4 million, thc CRA could obtain approximately
$9,250,000 m proceeds for projects from a debt issue in FY 2004/2005. This debt issue assumes a 22-year
amortization at a 6.00% interest rate with a 2.00x coverage rcquircmcnt of rcvcnues ovcr debt scrvicc. Currmt
tax-exempt )4elds for 20-year "AAA"-rated securities are currently much lower than our interest rote assumption,.
at only approximately 3.8%. However, due to the preliminary nature of thi.q analysis, it a~s assumed that the
CRA would issue mn-rated debt. Credit enhancement may be available for the CRA, which could s'Lgnificantly
lower its cost of borrowing.
Bascd on thc current projects in thc Budget, a debt issue ~ich produccs $9,250,000 in procccds in FY
2004/2005 fully funds the CRA's projects and allows the CRA to maintain a target fund balance in excess of
20% of thc prior year's tax incrcmcnt rcvcnucs. This sccnario is summafizcd on thc following page.

Draft
Cash and Debt in FY 200412005 and FY 200612007
Based on the projections, by FY 2006/2007 the CRA could have additional debt capacity to produce
approximately $6 million in proceeds for projects due to growth in TIF revenues. This debt issue assumes a 25-
year amortiw, afion at a 6.50% interest rate with 2.00x revenue coverage of debt service. We ufli?ed a higher
iraerest rate on this financing as it is further in the future and poses more uncertainty in terms of interest rotes at
the time of the financing.
An additional debt issue in FY 2006/2007 would allow the CRA to add capital projects in 2007 through 2009
from the additional proceeds. This scenario is summarized on the following page.
Financing Alternatives
the CRA determines that it would like to incur debt to fund projects, there are several financing options that we
xvill anal)ze for the CRA. These include:
· Bank loans
· Bond issues through private placement or public offering
Tsl~ically, bank loans arc mom economical for financings under $3 million and bond issucs arc mom economical
for financings in excess of $3 million. However, if the CRA must issue non-rated debt, we would evalu_a_te both
optiom rcgardless of sizc to determine thc most cost-cffcctivc and flexiblc structure for thc CRA. A bank or
private investor with a local presence may have more understanding of the CRA's characteristics, which may be
reflected in the terms available to the CRA. The credit enhancement that may be avail_able to the CRA will
dramatically affect the type and cost of the financing altmmafives available. We look forward to discussing these
alternatives with the CRA in greater detail as we develop a Capital Plan.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS
RBC Dain recommends that the CRA adopt an investment policy to provide guidance and permitted mvestmems
for its available funds. All public entities in the State of Florida are required to follow the State of Florida's
guidelines for permitted invesanents unless such entity adopts its own formal policy. The Government Finance
Officer's Association (GFOA) recxamnends that all governmental entities adopt their own investment pohcy to
enhance the enfity's awareness of its invested funds and to customize the policy for the enfily's needs and
characteristics. Attached is an article t~om the Governmental Finance Review, which is a GFOA publication, on
mvesmaent policies and the GFOA's sample investment policy.
We would be pleased to assist the CRA in creating an investment pohCY. Once a Capital Plan is developed, RBC
Dam will work with the CRA to determine the suitable mix of cash and short-term investments depending on the
cash requirements and timing of the project needs.
Cash Managemem
RBC Dam recommends that the CRA consider immediately depositing its liquid funds in the State Board of
Administration's Local Government Pooled Fund to increase its current interest earnings on cash. The SBA's
yield for the month of January, 2004 was 1.24%. The CRA's current Business Money Market account only
.yielded 1.00% for that same time period. Following is a comparison of the CRA's recent yields versus the SBA
viclds.

Thc SBA is a state agmcy which managcs approximately $18.1 billion in Florida govcmmcntal funds in thc pool
with approximately 800 local government participants. The objectives of the Local Govemment Pooled Fund, as
statcd by thc SBA, arc as follows:
· Provide a short-term, vet liquid, high q~jality investment vehicle to participating local governments
· Purchase securities consistent with the Florida Statutes (Ch. 215.47)
· Operate the'pool as a money market-like fund using the SEC investment requirements for 2a-7 MOney
Market Funds as guidance
· F01krw all acco~ and reporting requirements of Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 31
· Provide liquidit5r to the participants on a daily basis

Short-Term Investments
There are several oppommifies for the CRA to increase its investment earnings by investing in Permitted
investments fbr longer-term periods, fbr example with a duration of 1-2 years. A short-term porttblio for the
CRA could include investmenm such as:
· Lad&red Treasury or Agency bonds
* Investment Agreements such as Repurchase Agreements and Cmammeed Investment Contmets
Such investments would enable the CRA to lengthen 'its maturiB, for funds which are not currently required for
capital projects and increase its earnings. Laddered short-term investments help the CRA attain a market rate of
4796m
Draft
remm throughout all economic cycles, as securities would be maturing on a reg~fia_r basis. Investment agreemenls
allow the CRA to lock in longer-term returns while allowing for permitted construction draws without penalties.
Once the CRA's projects are determined, we will discuss specific investment structures to increase its returns
while maintaining construction draw flexibility.
CONCLUSION
There are numerous capital funding and investment options available to the CRA to assist in accomplishing its
economic development goals. With direction fxom the CRA on the level and timing of its desired projects, RBC
Dam will work the CRA to develop a Capital Plan to most cost-effectively fund these projects. We look forward
to incorporating suitable investment .types and maturities to create a complete Capital Plan for the CRA.

Delray-Boynton Academy Project Description
Delray-Boynton Academy is in the process of seeking approval for building a
school On the southeast corner of Martin Luther King Blvd. and Railroad. We are
- seeki,~ ..d.. gr~i~l lo-nTatch_ our efforts toward crea~ing ,,~, ~. ,~,,~.,,
with Boynton Beach's Community Redevelopment Agency. One of our aims is to
form a bond with the Boynton Beach community by emphasizing its strength, as
our at-risk students are in great need of structure and a sense of familY. We feel
that the best method of achieving_ this' is by aligning ourselves with the
COmmunity Redevelopment Agency and building a school that meets if not
exceeds the expectations of the City of Boynton Beach. It is our experience that
when people are p.roud of their community, they become the pride of their
community. By participating in the Facade Improvements Grants Program,
Boynton-Delray Academy is not only helping its students and their families feel
proud of their surroundings, but helping unite the community as a whole.
It was the suggestion of a CRA board member, knowing the additional expense
of renovating 'our site plans that we apply for this grant in order to enhance the
exterior of our building, Boynton-Delray Academy is the eastern gateway into
the Heart of Boynton Beach and the CRA felt that such a project could be
approved if we augment the structure that will represent the pillar of the eastern
entrance into the Heart of Boynton Beach Project.

Re: 10,000 sq. foot school
After our discussion Yesterday I felt compelled to put the following'information toscthcr
for you ia hopes that you and ~e board would still, be open to considering Premier
Modular lliffidings LC to. build your new school.
The attached floor-plan and proposal is simply something thai I had in mind for.you from
the beginning but because of.the uncertainty of the land issues I never did-forward to you
as I should have I guess. Anyway, just something for you to look at and discuss with the
board if you. wish although it may be a mute point now.
Also, I have attached a list of some of our recent references for You to contact if you
wish_ I put a * next to some that arc in your area. Also, all our contractors thai would be
used on your proje.~t would be from your area as I know this Was a concern.
Again, all of this might be a mum point because of your de~ision but I just thousht 1
would pass it on to you in hopes thai you could still oonsider us. Whatever your decision
I do wish you the best of luck.
Thank you for your consideration.

Consideration of Revised Direct Incentive Program
February 26, 2004
This is the newest revision for our Direct Incentive Program. You have seen this
concept almost a year now. This draft does have some re-writes to clarify the process.
I will say that this issue is the major issue facing US housing today.
This issue drives sprawl in Palm Beach County. The CRA can build on this Program
with matching sources. I recommend that the CRA step forward with this amendment to
assure a livable, mixed income CRA Redevelopment Area.

DRAFT
City of Boynton Beach
Community Redevelopment Agency
Direct Incentive Program
Revised 2126/2004
The Boynton Beach CRA seeks to encourage large-scale projects, which define new
markets, quality, innovation and character in the CRA area. It is recognized that many
times these benchmark projects require new and untested market assumptions, which
have no local comparable. This condition often requires market support to make the
projects feasible in the early years. Accordingly, this Program is focused on support for
qualified, benchmark projects during their initial stages. As defined by the focus of this
Program, projects which directly compete with existing projects, or that do not open new
markets or that do not set new higher project quality standards in the view of the CRA,
may not receive maximum consideration.
The dream of home ownership or affordable housing rental is on the brink of becoming
an endangered species for many American families. The dream is becoming elusive
because many moderate income families cannot qualify for a mortgage or afford the
monthly payments. Wages are insufficient which puts these families 30% over the
4836

required 32% average house payment to income ratio. A rapidly growing population, flat
growth of incomes and growing housing prices are some of the variables that have
contributed to this new reality.
In response to this emerging plight, many programs have surfaced under many names:
Work Force Housing, Affordable Housing, Low Income housing, etc. Whatever the
labels attached to such programs, the common underlying trend is the attempt to make
housing affordable to the moderate to median income level population.
Boynton Beach and its residents are not shielded from this plight. In light of the recent
redevelopment, and real estate appreciation approaching 14% annually, the challenge
of Affordable Access Space is an immediate reality.
A common misconception is that this issue of affordability is only residential and one
dimensional. Traditionally, when faced with an aggressive redevelopment plan, cities
use Iow income housing as the only measure of the total aid which they provide to the
displaced. Little or no thought is given to the local business community. Many times
the local flavor of most cities disappears when the unique local business base is
displaced. New space rent rates can cost many times more than pre-redevelopment
rates. Survival of a downtown business in a redeveloped area is contingent upon
gradual increase in overhead not an immediate and drastic increase in their fixed costs.
It is a proven fact that it costs less to keep a quality customer than it costs to secure a
new one. The same premise could be applied to the concept of keeping the quality
businesses that currently exist in a pre-redevelopment area. While new businesses are
attractive, it will take them time to build a customer base and a loyal following. The
opposite is true of the existing businesses that already have brand loyalty. An
Affordable Access Program rewards a developer for making available a percentage of
the project at below market rate to create an opportunity for a local business with its
built-in customer base to remain is a win-win solution. 483?

In an effort to provide a more comprehensive community benefit program, the CRA
Direct Incentive Program requires an Affordable Access component be addreSsed by
applicants.
This Incentive Program seeks to better the public elements in private development
projects therefore; projects having a site in excess of 87,120 square feet (two acres) are
required to have "Public Amenity" elements (sidewalks, alley and streets do not qualify.)
These elements will be considered as part of "Project Quality" scoring.
Projects will be scored by Program Criteria, which is defined in the Program
Guidelines. The Project's score wili determine how much, if any, of the eligible
incentive the Project may receive. APPLICATION TO THIS PROGRAM IS NO
GUARANTEE OF FUNDING. FUNDING IS AT THE SOLE DISCRETION' OF THE
CRA BOARD.

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
Upon approval by the CRA Board and completion of required documents and execution
thereof, the program will be generally administered as herein outlined. Specific
guidelines will be contained in final program contract documents.
Establishing the Project's New TIF Revenue Eligible for Incentive:
The Annual TIF Revenue eligible for the Direct Incentive Program shall be established
by subtracting the tax revenues received in the year the agreement is approved and
signed for the project site(s) from the actual new annual revenues received by the CRA.
This new revenue increment is then multiplied times the Program's Incentive
Percentage. The Incentive is calculated each year based on actual tax revenues
received.
Establishing the Projected Incentive Percentage:
Each completed Application will be scored by the CRA Board in a public meeting. Point
scores by the CRA Board members from each of the six criteria elements will be
individually averaged. The averaged element scores will .be added together to
determine the total application score. This score will be expressed as a percentage; the
"Project Score Percentage". This Project Score Percentage is then multiplied by the
Incentive Program Percentage of 50%. The Incentive Program establishes 50% as the
maximum percentage of direct project TIF Revenues available to the Applicant. This
resulting percentage is the Incentive Percentage. For example; a Project Score of 100
pts or more equals 100%. The Project's 100% is multiplied by the Program's maximum
Incentive percentage of 50%. The resulting 50% is the Project's Incentive Percentage.
City of Boynton Beach 4843
Community Redevelopment Agency
Oirac{ Incentive Program
2/26/04
Page 8 of 19
Example #2:70 pts scored by the Project equals 70% of the 50% for a 35% Incentive
Percentage.
Establishing Annual Incentive Amount:
The Project's Incentive Percentage is multiplied times the new net TIF Funds received
annually by the CRA which are generated by the Project to yield that year's Cash
Incentive Amount. Note that incentives are defined as percentages of the new TIF
revenue increment as it is collected by the CRA, therefore, any dollar figures calculated
prior to project completion and its listing on the tax roll', are only estimates.
Establishing Annual Incentive DisburSement Amounts for the Incentive Period:
The incentive shall be normally disbursed in ten (10) annual installments after required
actions have been completed by the Applicant, unless incentive funds are to be paid
prior to Project Completion. The Project Applicant may request that the Incentive be
"Front Loaded" to respond to eaHy Project needs. Generally, if approved, Front Loading
will begin in the first year that tax revenues are received by the CRA. A Front Loading
request for this Incentive Program does not mean funds loaned to the Project
prior to completion and tax enrollment.
The method of calculating "Front Loading" will be to project the ten year TIF Revenue to
the CRA based on the first year's assessed property tax revenue times the Project's
Incentive Percentage (Generated by the Project's score received from the CRA Board).
The Annual Incentive Amount is adjusted to follow the "Front Loading" percentage
schedule. The Front Loading Formula is: 75% first year and second years, 60% third
and fourth years, 50% fifth and sixth year, 40% seventh and eighth year, and 25% ninth
and' tenth years. The percentage shall not exceed 75% of the new increment tax
revenue for any single year; however, the cumulative incentive shall not exceed 50% of
the new assessed increment's tax revenues over the entire incentive pedod. The
taxable value is monitored annually prior to the incentive award to assure that any
movement in value will be reflected in the calculation.

Incentive Disbursement Schedule:
The Earned Incentives will be dispersed no later than April 1st of the year following the
corresponding tax year.
Affordable Access Incentive:
The following are definitions for the Affordable Access Incentive Elements:
· Affordable Access Incentive rewards Projects for below market access by the
public to a defined portion of the Project. The Affordable Access Incentive shall
be scored by analyzing the amount of Project's set aside area eligible for
discount pricing. The ratio of the Project's set-aside area and amount of
discount will be plotted on the CRA Project Scoring Graph for Affordable Access
to determine points scoring.
Uses shall be defined by three basic categories. Those uses shall be
Residential, Commercial and Retail/Restaurant. Each use shall be scored
separately for Affordable Access (amount of area and amount of discount) and
analyzed using the appropriate matrix graph corresponding to the number of
uses contained in the Project. Projects containing mixed uses shall have the
Affordable Access Scores for each use added together for the Total Category
Scoring.
The Project must score at least 2 pts in this Affordable Access category to
be eligible for Direct Incentives. The maximum number of points for this
category of the Direct Incentive Program shall be 20 pts.
· Project Set Aside Percentage shall be defined as the area (square footage)
available for market discounts divided by the total area (square footage) in the
Project for the same type of usage.
· Market Pricing shall be the average actual or projected market or retail price per
square feet for each of the uses within the Project.
· The Discount Percentage is figured as the discounted pricing per square foot
offered by the Project divided by the average rental or sale rate per square foot
of the like-kind area within the Project.

Consideration of the Business Genesis Program
Date:
February 26, 2004
The Business Genesis Program is ready to move forward. The demand has been
. overwhelming for this Program. Staff has fully restructured the operating plan. The plan
uses two Selection Committees to identify both the volunteer mentors and to select the
first year's Business Genesis Participants. Paid consultants have been repiaced with
volunteer mentors. Program Partners are the Chamber, FAU & FAU Cure. The CRA is
the coordinating body and sole funding source. Additional grant and sponsorship funds
may be secured, however, are not considered in budgeting at this time. Our current
budget has funding for this-proposed Program.
The Program includes a Development Fair to bring together CRA Area developers with
Boynton Beach business owners. The goal is to ensure local businesses have a
significant presence in the CRA Area redevelopment projects. Staff would like to move
forward with the Program execution.

Business "Genesis" Program
Premise:
The "New Urbanism" many times lacks the reality of providing for basic needs that were
traditionally found in historic downtown "Main Street" urban centers. These needs have been
pushed aside for boutique shops, national credit tenants, high-end services, and up-scale
restaurants. Often the small, local businesses which used to deliver needs-based products,
services and more importantly the charm and unique character of the community are removed
from redevelopment areas in favor of outside boutique stores and services.
Further, many times cities' development codes for "New Urbanism" in redevelopment areas
exclude manY "Needs Based" businesses instead of creatively incorporating them into the new
redevelopment fabric. The trend to remove local existing businesses is fueled by the fact that
many of those businesses affected by redevelopment do not evolve with redevelopment market
trends. Therefore, the two-fold impact of physical redevelopment, the change embedded in the
"New Urbanism" trend, and lack of response by existing "Needs Based" business creates an
unfavorable economic environment in which these businesses cease to exist. As a result, the
redevelopment area has plenty of high-end restaurants and shops, but is left lacking in basic
services to support a truly viable and sustainable urban city.
It is now acknowledged by many planning practitioners, developers and communities that these
very businesses are the necessary comerstones for a successful redevelopment effort. It is a
proven fact that it costs less to keep a quality customer than it costs to get a new one. The
same premise can be applied to the concept of keeping the quality businesses that currently
exist in a pre-redevelopment area. VVhile new businesses are attractive, it will take them time to
build a customer base and a loyal following. The opposite is true of the existing business as
they already have brand loyalty.
The Business Genesis Program therefore will provide a substantial benefit not only to the local
existing businesses, but also to the developer and the community.
4857
Business Genesis Program
Page 2 of 35
Economic realities and strategies must address the issue of economic feasibility from both the
business and developer/landlord perspectives. Economic concepts for enabling retention in
redevelopment areas are:
· Business Genesis Program: The Business Genesis Program has been created to make
businesses more profitable to, in part, be able to pay higher rental rates found in
Redevelopment Areas.
· Direct Developer Incentives to provide below market rental rates: New space rent
rates can cost many times more than pre-redevelopment rates. Survival of a downtown
business in a redeveloped area is contingent upon gradual increase in overhead; not an
immediate and drastic increase in their fixed costs. The CPA's Direct Incentive's
Affordable Access elements reward developers who make available a percentage of the
project at below market rate, thereby creating an opportunity for a local business to
remain and/or be created.
· Economic Development Grants: Grants for capital improvements have been secured
to reduce overhead costs.. The Development Regions Grant Program, which is a
matching grant Program through the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency
and Palm Beach County Economic Development Office, is designed to stimulate
economic growth and increase business opportunities.
The project must create jobs which will improve the quality of life for local citizens.
Eligible business projects are start-ups or existing businesses which are involved in
relocation and/or expansion, plans to purchase/lease/occupy/build or renovate property
and to hire new and/or retain employees.
The applicant can apply for reimbursement for the following eligible activities: acquisition
of real property, construction, renovation, site development cost, impact fee payment,
machinery/equipment and public improvements such as parking, lighting, beautification,
infrastructure and a fac,,ade Program.
Business project owners must match the County and CRA funds. County funds cannot
exceed 30% of the project cost and the CPA funds are a minimum 15% of the project
cost.
Each project must create permanent full-time/equivalent positions and maintain jobs for a

Mission:
To create a Mentodng Team of highly qualified/successful/active business professionals to one-
on-one counsel a targeted group of interested local businesses.
To facilitate and encourage business development for improvement of core competencies of
existing businesses in the Central Business District and the Heart of Boynton District to ensure
that they can surVive and flourish once proposed redevelopment for the area is a reality.

increase the surVival rate of existing and "needs based" businesses in the
Redevelopment Area.
· To provide'businesses with the tools and resources necessary to compete successfully
with the new companies that are typically attracted to a redeveloped area.

Genesis Operating Plan
Program Description:
Business Genesis Program is proposed as a Business Development Program that has two
functions. The Program is first concerned with the maintenance and survival of the existing
businesses in the areas targeted for redevelopment. Secondly, the Program will generate data
for a realistic assessment of how redevelopment truly affects local businesses in the CRA areas.
In light of the proposed redevelopment of the CBD and Heart of Boynton areas, the business
development program is designed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual
businesses and design tools that, if followed, will help to secure a future in the area and
compete effectively with new businesses that reloCate to the area. It will assist businesses to
develop an awareness of changing trends, demographic needs and help to .capitalize on
opportunities created by the impending redevelopment.
The Program by design, funding and implementation will be a joint venture among several
partners. Some partners that have initially been identified are the Boynton Beach Chamber of
Commerce, Florida Atlantic University CURE (Center for Urban Redevelopment and Education)
and The Small Business Association for Micro Business. The Partners will serve as a conduit for
qualified and interested Business Mentors as well as provide selection panelists.
Florida University CURE will bring to the partnership the ability and the technology to analyze
and quantify the program data. They have also been identified as a source for Graduate Interns
who will assist the selected businesses with the hands on logistics of implementing the
programs recommended by the Business Mentors.
The Small Business Association and FAU CURE will also serve as an additional resource for
the Businesses who have been identified as needing traditional business training. These
organizations have existing business training programs that have a proven track record.
4860
Business Genesis Program
Page 5 of 35
The Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce will be a resource of successful Business Mentors
to help small and emerging businesses downtown and in the Heart of Boynton area. In addition,
the Chamber will help choose mentors and assess business surveys to select the round one
Business Genesis participants. The Chamber will also help to identify and secure other
business resources, classes, etc. for the Program Participants. The Chamber will aid in the
design and implementation of the Development Fair which is an event to introduce local
businesses (in the entire Boynton area) to CRA developers in an attempt to showcase
opportunities in the redeveloped CRA Areas and to introduce businesses to the projects coming
on line.
The CRA Director and Staff will serve as the coordinating body for the Program. Along with the
development and maintenance of Program documentation, the CRA will serve as a liaison
among the Partners and mentors. The CRA will be a matching funding source of sponsorship
and grant dollars. The logistics, as it relates to the operating of the program, will fall under the
responsibilities of the CRA. Those responsibilities will include: three positions (the CRA
Director, Administrative Assistant and Volunteer Board Member) on the Business Mentors
Selection Panel, providing three positions (the CRA Director, Administrative Assistant and
Volunteer Board Member) on round one Business Genesis Participants Selection Panel and
maintenance of the electronic tracking system used by the Business Mentors to document their
one-on-one activities with the Program Participants. The CRA shall market the Program, seek
Sponsorships/Grants/Matching Funds and Resources and be the Public Relations Partner.
Selection of Business Mentors:
The CRA Staff, Chamber of Commerce, FAU and FAU Micro will seek Mentors from the region
and gather background resumes and references from perspective participants. The Selection
Committee of seven (7) for the Mentors is proposed to be comprised of one CRA Board
Member, two CRA Staff, the Executive Director of the Boynton Beach Chamber, FAU/FAU
Micro and the President of BODA At the invitation of the Selection Committee, interested
persons would submit a letter of interest citing their qualifications and the reasons he or she
feels inclined to be a mentor in the Program. Third party references and recommendations will
be required. 486].
Business Genesis Program
Page 6 of 35
The final mentodng team will reflect a group of innovative thinkers who understand that it is
cdtical to approach this project from a non-traditional scholastic approach. Selection of the
Business Mentors is based on years of experience and their insight on many levels of business
operations. While it is worth mentioning that the team will rank among the best as it relates to
success as a business owner, background and credentials, what is most significant is their
record of accomplishment of business results. Teams will be created based on the area of
specialization of each Mentor. This will ensure minimal duplication of efforts and that all the
areas of need identified by the survey are addressed.
Business Selection Plan:
The Business Genesis Program is targeted towards a select group of businesses in the
redevelopment area of the CRA (see map). A detailed list of all businesses in the target area
has been compiled (attached). These businesses will be surveyed to gather basic data,
determine their business concepts, future goals/direction and willingness to participate. These
surveys will be completed With assistance from the Program's Business Mentors.
The surveys will be assessed based on the list of criterion to generate a "short list" of the
prospective first year participants. The criteda are as follows:
· The business may be an existing or start up small business.
Business must be located in the CRA area.
· Business location in BODNCBD and HOB Area.
· Business located in Buildings to be removed.
· Businesses that serve, match or enhance the future of their area as defined by future use
tables from the City of Boynton Beach appropriate to each specific area.
· Locally owned businesses (Majority ownership resides in Palm Beach County).
· The business is not a franchise entity.
· The business is a small business which for this Program shall be defined as having no
more than 75 employees and $5,000,000 in gross annual revenues.
· Business commitment to participate.
4862
Business Genesis Program
Page 7 of 35
The businesses will be interviewed for final selection by a Panel consisting of the CRA Director,
the Program Manager, one CRA Board Member, FAU, FAU Micro Business Program, the
Chamber of Commerce Executive Director and the Program's volunteer Mentors. The first
group of business finalists will be set not to exceed twenty (20). The final list is anticipated to be
from ten (10) to sixteen (16).
Since the success rate of the participants will be critical to future Program continuation, the
CRA's preference is to work with a smaller group to ensure that the Program's funding effort is
spent in the most effective manner. Several constraints dictate that such a focused group
should be used for the first year of the Genesis Program. First, limited initial funding will affect
the Program size. Second, the Program is designed for Program Business Mentors to spend
quality time; "one-on-one" with the businesses. Thus, a smaller number of participants will
make it possible for the Business Mentors to spend more time with the owners and be more
responsive to their needs. To maximize the business mentor's time and other limited program
resources, graduate level interns will be available to assist the businesses with more time-
consuming projects.
Program Consulting Delivery Concepts:
Historically, many of the existing Programs available to businesses require time away from their
place of business on a regular basis and provide no assistance in solution management and
implementation. The Program's highly experienced Business Mentors are "hands-on." They
are expected to develop close bonds with the participants. The Mentoring Team may suggest
the participants attend workshops, existing Programs and/or other available resources in
support of their business's growth; however, the primary focus of the team is to bring significant
insight and analytical tool sets to the business, which are normally unobtainable for small niche
entities. This comprehensive strategic vision provides the participants with concepts,
knowledge, solutions and the ability to execute; thereby not only being a success, but also
becoming a result orientated business over achiever.
The businesses will be required to spend a minimum of two hours per month with team Mentors.
The Business Mentors shall meet monthly with each participant; this may be one or more team
4863
Business Genesis Program
Page 8 of 35
members at a time. Business Mentors will have hours available for contact at a minimum of two
days a week and at approximately two hours per day or as hours are needed. Once a month, a
one hour roundtable meeting will be held with all participants and Mentor Team members to
exchange success, failures and things learned over the past month.
The Mentoring Team will track the business's progress and develop in conjunction with CRA
staff and FAU interns a confidential electronic data file on each participant. This will better direct
team member resources and serve to evaluate overall Program success. The team members
will meet monthly to review, update, and add to the participant's file. This meeting will be held
just prior to the monthly roundtable.
Participant Commitments and Requirements:
Each participant, after the initial meetings with the team members, will be assisted in developing
a strategic vision and establish measurable goals. The business's beginning reference points
and end points will be recorded and analyzed for evaluation of the project's effectiveness.
Monthly meetings to review these indicators will help direct Business Mentors, resources, etc.
Businesses that do not, in the opinion of the Mentoring Team and the Selection Committee,
sustain a concentrated effort will be dropped from the Program. However, the team shall make
every effort to encourage continued participation and will document its concerns and attempts to
remedy.
A participating business shall demonstrate the following:
· Requires willingness-to openly share confidential information with Business Mentors.
· Boynton Beach Chamber Membership and/or Boynton Ocean District Association
Member (If location is within BODA boundaries).
· Proper time management to meet with the Mentoring Team each month.
· Be open to act on recommendations from the Team.

Program Phasing and Scope of Work per Phase
Phase I. Design Surveys: (Completed)
The initial business survey has been designed by the CRA Staff to identify current effective and
ineffective trends, overall performance, and needs of each business. Target area businesses
shall have one-on-one assistance by the CRA to ensure completion if needed.
CRA Staff and the Program's Partner will develop a Program Evaluation format to measure
Program Elements. The Program will be evaluated at different junctures of the Program's life
cycle to provide "mid" point analysis of impacts better tract impacts.
Program Evaluation Periods · Current Status
· Year One
· Year Three
· Year Five
Phase I1: Participant Survey Analysis and First Year Participant Selection (1 month)
This phase of work will entail the compilation of the data from the completed business surveys
with a summary of results to be completed by staff and intems within three weeks of the
proposed response deadline. They will be ranked as to the Program participation criteria and
general business aspects by CRA staff. This ranking will be reviewed by the Selection
Committee and Mentoring Team. The final twenty will then be asked to complete a Phase Two
Survey (attached). After evaluation, ten (10) to sixteen (16) Participants wilt be selected by the
Selection Committee and the Mentor Team to be invited to enter the Program.
Phase II1: Detailed Business Analysis of Participants: (1 to 1.5 months)
Businesses committed to and selected for participation in the Business Genesis Program will be
contacted and an .appointment will be scheduled with the Business Mentor Team for the
purpose of review of the Phase Two Survey and to complete the business's Program profile.
The Team shall contribute notes, observations and narratives for CRA staff and interns to create
a plan of action for each business. Each Business Owner will be asked for a commitment for the
4865
Business Genesis Program
Page 10 of 35
agreed-upon plan of action and will establish an estimated time frame. The program begins as
the mentor's meet with the businesses to more specifically discuss needs and initiate suggested
plan of action (i.e., the marketing specialist will assess marketing needs and develop a
marketing strategy for the business, etc.)
Phase IV: Program One-on-One Consulting: (14 months)
Business Mentors will set aside visitation hours and dates to deliver the Program's established
range of consulting. Individualized assistance will be provided with a combination of Business
Mentors through ongoing meetings and coaching sessions with business owners. Owners may
have activities to complete to fulfill the requirements, of the Program in between scheduled
sessions with Business Mentors. Business Mentors will be available for phone consultations
with business owners dudng set hours.
The CRA with the support of FAU interns will develop a confidential participant data file to track
progress, issues and needs. Team members will meet monthly to review each client's progress.
A closed, secured and confidential online database will be developed to track progress of
Program and individual businesses, as well as to provide a vehicle for the Business Mentors to
have real time access to information regarding the details of all assistance given to each
business. Workshop resources on specific topics pertaining to the needs of business owners will
be identified such as the Chamber of Commerce, Flodda Atlantic University, SBA, The Palm
Beach Resource Center, etc.
Phase V: Program Evaluation Survey and Analysis: (2 months)
Client files and evaluations by the team members will be used to identify the quantitative goals
reached. A written report on the Program's results will be due no later than September 1st,
2005.

Event: Local Boynton Beach Businesses and identified CRA Developers will be asked by the
Program to attend a "Development Fair." Note that inviting all local Boynton Businesses may
bring additional local Businesses into the CRA area, therefore, the fair's business invitation is
anticipated to extend beyond the CRA Area.
The Development Fair will be designed as an interactive exchange between existing/potential
CRA Developers and local business owners. Attendees will get the opportunity to meet the
developers and discuss the potential of their business becoming a part of new development
projects. Developers will have the opportunity to get to know local Businesses interested in the
redevelopment area. The Business Genesis Program and Incentive/Grant Program will be
presented to better brief both groups (Businesses and Developers). At the Event, qualified CRA
Businesses will have the opportunity to fill out Phase I Survey for consideration for selection into
the Business Genesis Program.

Special Pilot Program for Police Patrol in Heart of Boynton
and the CBD.
March 9, 2004
During the July 2003 Board Meeting, the Board directed Staff to develop a Pilot
Program that addressed the security needs of the Central Business District and the
Heart of Boynton District. During that same meeting, Chief Marshall Gage of the
Boynton Beach Police Department presented three proposals to the Board. The
presentation highlighted the Staffing levels and zones that are comprised within the
CRA Area. While staffing has been increased in the Heart of Boynton District as part of
the regular services, the Chief felt that additional coverage would be necessary due to
"Special Conditions in the Area."
The proposal also noted that the terminated Bike and Foot patrol in the CBD could be
resurrected due to citizen's request and the additional elements that exist dudng a
redevelopment process. The Police report gave initial proposals ranging from $270,457
to $363,112 for each area.
The current revised "Pilot Program" highlights and addresses several issues not brought
to you before.
· All officers and equipment will be outfitted with distinguishable uniforms and CRA
logo. This will visually identify the teams as CRA Special units.
· While the units are in CRA boundaries duty rotation they will be separate from
general rotation and non emergency calls in other parts of the City.
· The Program calls for four officers with two squad cars, two patrol bikes with
necessary equipment, uniforms, office space with furnishings and supplies.
4891
The proposed cost of the "Pilot Program" is $75,000 for the Heart of Boynton District
and $75,000 in the Central Business District for the remainder of the 2003~2004 budget
year. Each District has a proposed budget of $125,000 for the 2005~2006 and will be
brought back to you for consideration at budget time.
The possibility of using a private Service Supplier for these services was investigated.
It was determined that using a private vendor, while cheaper, could have many adverse
affects which Chief Gage will elaborate on during his report to the Board on March 9th.

on the unpaid principal balance from February 12, 2004, until paid in full.
PAYMENT. Subject to any payment changes resulting from changes in the Index, Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following

a floating rate of interest equal to the base rate of interest established by National Consumer Cooperative Bank d/b/a National Cooperative
Bank plus one percent (1%) per annum, adjusted monthly. The Base Rate shall mean the Base Rate of Interest established by National
Cooperative Bank from time to time for its commercial loan facilities, whether such base rate of interest is publicly or privately announced.
Any change irt such rate shall becom~ effective monthly on the first day of each calendar month. On the first (1st) day of the first {1st)
month following the Conversion Date (the "Initial Adjustment Date") and on the fifth {Bth) anniversary of the Conversion Date (the
"Subsequent Adjustment Date "}, the interest rate on the loan shall be adjusted to be equal to the "Adjusted Rate". The Adjusted Rate on
the Initial Adjustment Date shall be two and three-quarters percent (2.75%) in excess of the current weekly average yield for United States
Treasury Securities having five (5) year maturities as published on the last business day prior to the Initial Adjustment Date and the
Subsequent Adjustment Date, respectively, as published in document H.R. 15 {519) published by the Board of Governor~ of the Federal
Reserve System and entitled "Federal Reserve Statistical Release", or its successor publication; said to be rounded up to the nearest
one-eighth of one percent (1/8%). Interest shall at all times be calculated based upon a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
From the date of the first advance of the loan proceeds through and including the Conversion date, accrued and unpaid interest only shall

first (1st) calendar month following the Initial Adjustment Date and each Subsequent Adjustment Date and continuing on the first {1st) day
of the first (2nd) month following the Conversion Date and continuing on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month thereafter
until the Maturity Date. The monthly payment amount is subject to adjustment on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) calendar month
following the Initial Adjustment and each Subsequent Adjustment Date, so that following the Initial Adjustment and each Subsequent
Adjustment Date, the then outstanding principal balance of this Note (after application of any monthly payment of principal and interest
due on the Initial Adjustment Date and each subsequent Adjustment Date) will be amortized over the remainder of the term of this Note at
the then current Adjusted Rate. All payments on this Note shall be applied first to late charges and other fees payable hereunder, if any,
then to accrued and unpaid interest and then in reduction of the Principal Amount. All payments of principal and interest and any other
charges due hereunder shall be payable to NCBDC, in care of National Cooperative Bank, P.O. Box 820114, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19182-0114 or such other places as the Payee may designate in writing.
The entire outstanding Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums payable hereunder, shall
mature and be due and payable in full to the Payee on October 1, 2014 {the "Maturity Date").
Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs; then to any late charges;
then to any accrued unpaid interest; and then to principal. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/365 simple interest basis; that is, by
applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over the number of days in a year, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the
aqtual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as
Lender may designate in writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is the
NCB Commercial Loan Base Rate. For the purposes hereof, the NCB Commercial Loan Base Rate means the Base Rate of Interest established by
NCB from time to time for its commercial loan facilities, whether such Base Rate of Interest shall be publicly or privately announced, (the
"Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans and is set by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Index
becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower.
the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each month, Lender will tell Borrower
effective on the first day
of each month, ba:sed upon NCB's Commercial Loan Base Rate in effect on the last business day preceding such interest rate adjustment date.
Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 4.000% per annum. The interest rate
to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 1.000 percentage point over the Index, rounded up to the nearest
0.125 percent, resulting in an initial rate of 5.000% per annum. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more
than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. Whenever increases occur in the interest rate, Lender, at its option, may do one or more of
the following: {Al increase Borrower's payments to ensure Borrower's loan will pay off by its original final maturity date lB) increase
Borrower's payments to cover accruing interest, lC) increase the number of Borrower's payments, and {D continue Borrower's payments at
the same amount end increase Borrower's final payment.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless
agreed to by Lend,er in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather,
earlv payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender
payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without
losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written
communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes
"payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be
mailed or delivered to: NCB Development Corporation, 1725 Eye Street, NW, Suite 600, Washington, DC 20006.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged §.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled
payment.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable
law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 6.000 percentage points over the Index. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Job Creation ~Staff Increase/Building Completion
Delray Boynton Academy plans to increase its teaching staff thirty three percent (33%)
for the school term 2004-2005 and another thirty three percent (33%) in 2005-2006. The
Classroom Monitor position will also increase by thirty three percent (33%) in the
respective years. In addition, this project will create a position in janitorial services and
landscaping.
--5--
Funds Needed
Staff Development and Professional Development in technology and Literacy (Reading)
will be required in order to effectively integrate these programs into the present
curriculum. Funds will be needed for teacher and monitor salaries, teacher workshops,
college courses and special training. The goal is to make sure teachers' level of
knowledge exceeds basic skills. When the technology is implemented, teachers must
demonstrate professionalism and competency.
Janitorial and landscaping services will be a tangible demonstration of the school's effort
to adhere to the beautification theme of the Heart of Boynton Project. Funds are being
requested to cover these positions as well as completion of the building.
Technology
There is a technological epidemic and it is imperial that technology be included in the
curriculum. A technological advancement that keeps being improved is the computer.
Computers offer an array of resources that both teachers and students can utilize. It is an
efficient way to gather information and obtain knowledge. Classrooms that are denied
access to technology are also denied access to a diverse and stimulating learning
experience.
Delray Boynton Academy supports technology because it is a basis for innovative
learning. Thus, it will be incorporated into the classroom when the new facility opens and
will include:
· Interactive Curriculums
· Computers with Internet Accessibility
· Smart Boards
· Web Page Design
· Power-Point Presentations
· Video Cameras
· Digital Camera
While it is true implementing technology into the classroom will alter the teacher's role,
it can only assist the teacher in creating a more positive, interactive, new atmosphere in
the classroom. Technology will allow educators to expand their teaching and procedures.

BROWARD COUNTY MORNING SESSION
There's a revolution taking place in a nu tuber of
municipalities throughout Broward Cour,ty. The future
is at stake and these cities are strivin~ to take control
of the development and growth that 'wil! sustain them
well into this century.
Along the coast, the old "urban" city centers are
taking an evolutionary approach, to redevelopment
and renewal by rallying around their historical roots.
In the suburbs, the cities have started a revolution by
reining in the faceless sprawl and defining new city
centers to attract new urban development.
Whether its urban renewal or sub~Jrban revival, you'll
meet the people spearheading the~e efforts, learn
about their plans, find out who is tak~,'~g action and
what development and investment opp~ortunities are
available.

PALM BEACH COUNTY AFTERNOON SESSION
There's a revolution taking place in a number of municipalities
throughout Palm Beach County. The future is at stake and
these cities are striving to take control of the development and
growth that will sustain them well into this century.
Along the coast, the old "urban" city centers are taking an
evolutionary approach to redevelopment and renewal by
rallying around their historical roots. In the suburbs, the cities
have started a revolution by reining in the faceless sprawl and
defining new city centers to attract new urban development.
Whether its urban renewal or suburban revival, you'll meet the
people spearheading these efforts, learn about their plans, find
out who is taking action and what development and investment
opportunities are available.
