Ms. Ross moved to approve the minutes of August 12, 2008 as amended. Vice Chair Rodriguez
seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
VI.D. CRA District Noise Ordinance Recommendations
Mr. Hay commented that it would be helpful if staff could give a more precise path to the
referenced City ordinances.
Vice Chair Rodriguez requested staff share the information garnered from other cities on the
noise restrictions. Mike Simon advised he would provide the information. The midnight noise
limit Monday through Thursday seemed somewhat strong to Vice Chair Rodriguez. Ms. Ross
noted it was limited to the entertainment district. The proximity to residences was a concern.
Chair Taylor indicated he had discussed the matter with Scott Blasie, Code Compliance
Administrator, and he found the recommendations to be more appropriate. Mr. Simon indicated
the restrictions were a collaborative effort of the CRA, Code, Police and City staff. There have
been ongoing discussions regarding a possible entertainment permit process that would be less
zoning district specific and more use specific to be utilized throughout the City. It would give
Code Enforcement more power and Planning and Zoning would have more control, plus a
potential revenue producer for permits. The City and CRA were jointly making the
recommendation.
Mr. Weiland indicated he felt the hours should be one hour earlier to accommodate the elderly
residents in the area. Ms. Bright pointed out the CRA and City could look at alternatives for
areas like Renaissance Commons in relation to the downtown area. The CRA could only offer
recommendations for the entertainment district downtown. Vice Chair Rodriguez suggested a
few options be presented first. Mr. Simon stressed the City staff would have more experience
and knowledge on the Land Development Regulations aspect of the ordinance for the City as a
whole and the possible entertainment permit.
Quintus Greene, Development Director for the City, stressed entertainment activities throughout
the City, as well as downtown have to be taken into consideration. It must be addressed
globally with less focus on the noise ordinance per se and more focus on regulating
entertainment activity. The use of a yearly entertainment permit, granted by the City
Commission, pursuant to a public hearing is being explored. The permit would be revocable
upon violation of the noise ordinance. This would provide a broader range of establishments to
have entertainment activities and yet give the City more control. He stressed the broader
picture has to be considered.
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved to deny the noise ordinance recommendation. Mr. Weiland
seconded the motion.

Chair Taylor did not have a problem with the recommendation submitted. Mr. Hay contended
the downtown area needed to have some flexibility and agreed with the recommendation. Ms.

Motion
Mr. Hay moved to approve Item VI.D. Ms. Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-2.
(Vice Chair Rodriguez and Mr. Hay dissenting.)
VI.E Approval of the Boynton Harbor Marina Dockage Agreement for FY 2008-2009
Vice Chair Rodriguez inquired if there were any provisions for boats in the marina during
hurricanes. Attorney Cherof advised there was language that tracks the Florida statutes
requiring a vessel owner to remove the vessel in a pending storm if it would endanger the
marina. Ms. Bright added the current hurricane plan that is administered by the marina
management company would also apply. Attorney Cherof noted the vessel owners could be
liable for damage, or the CRA could remove the vessel and charge the owner for the removal.
He also noted the agreement is a working document and other changes have been made since
distribution of the agenda. Any approval should be subject to additional staff/attorney
comments.
Motion
Vice Chair Rodriguez moved to approve Item VI.E subject to additional staff/attorney
comments. Ms. Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
IX. Public Comments: (Note: comments are limited to 3 minutes in duration)
Herb Suss, 1711 Woodfern Drive, requested a copy of the answers to the questions posed by
Henderson Tillman at the City Commission meeting relating to the bonds and pending projects.
It was his opinion that the Heart of Boynton would never happen. He also urged the
Commission to appoint a civilian CRA Board.
th
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6 Avenue, requested that the vacant CRA property along Seacrest
Boulevard be enclosed. Ms. Bright responded fencing had been discussed; however,
landscaping would also be necessary and the Ocean Breeze project was aggressively moving
forward. Ms. Sullivan was upset with children on bikes, dirt bikes and little cars.
Mr. Weiland reiterated large sums of money have been spent in the Heart of Boynton, and the
Board and Commission have been committed to the project for many years. Some new houses
have been built and working on the Ocean Breeze project and with Auburn Group indicates a
huge commitment that continues. He stressed more money was spent in the Heart of Boynton
than any other part of the City.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, FL September 2, 2008
Chair Taylor pointed out $7.5 million has been spent on the Ocean Breeze project, over $2
thth
million on the 4 and 5 Avenue assemblage, closing on 2.69 acres. The Homebuyers
Assistance Program cost $1.4 million, closing on 21 homes. The residential improvement
program cost $140,000 to repair seven homes with 13 more grant applications. $170,000 was
spent in Cherry Hill, and Palm Beach County was going out to bid to demolish the buildings.
$25,000 was spent under the Community Improvement Program for numerous trash pickups.
On Urban Housing Infill $555,000 was spent for six lots being developed for single family homes
and on the MLK corridor over $4 million has been spent. The total is over $16 million.
Ms. Sullivan argued properties were being bought, but nothing was being replaced. Something
needed to be added back. Chair Taylor advised market studies have been done for the area,
and the CRA could not force businesses to come into the area.
Mr. Hay contended the frustration of the public was based on the lack of what the public sees
being done. The monies for the Heart of Boynton project are generated from Tax Increment
Funding (TIF). There is currently a request to shrink the size and area of the CRA, reducing the
possible funding source. It would result in a reduction of money available for the Heart of
Boynton project. He reminded the Board of the purpose of the CRA to rid the City of slum and
blight.
Chair Taylor indicated due to the reduction in revenue, the City investigated all areas of possible
revenue and all areas of cost reduction. Most of the possibilities were not implemented.
Dissolution of the CRA was not considered.
th
Mack McCray, 806 NW 4 Street, recalled in the beginning the community held meetings, and
the residents were enthusiastic about the changes. Bond monies were received and now the
bonds have to be repaid. The properties bought along Martin Luther King Boulevard (MLK) are
not being maintained. The residents need to see buildings being built. Monies were spent to
buy a bar in the southern section of the CRA and a fair distribution of monies being spent needs
to take place.
Chair Taylor noted the monies spent for the bar were for a new development on the site to
generate more tax dollars to spend in the Heart of Boynton.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, commented on the problems of violence and safety at the
vacant CRA lots in the Heart of Boynton that should be addressed. The police force should be
better utilized to properly police all the CRA properties, rather than fighting crime and drugs.
The issues of community safety and vagrancy needed to be addressed also. The fencing would
have a cost factor and would probably be torn down, making it cost prohibitive. The police
should respond to the citizens and be available for the citizens as an alternative to counter the
complaints.
Chair Taylor responded land was being purchased, and a developer had to be found to build
affordable housing for the citizens.
Lance Chaney, 4312 Polemo Boulevard, indicated he supported the annexation of properties
that would generate more funding. He requested there be greater communication to the
5
Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL September 2, 2008
citizens in the Heart of Boynton. He expressed concern there were no monies encumbered for
the development of the Heart of Boynton as a guarantee of a commitment. There has been
confusion in the community over the Ocean Breeze project and the proposals, because the
community supports only single family homes. The purchase by the City of three properties for
$60,000 then being bought by the CRA from the City for $1.3 million was outrageous to Rev.
Chaney. He asserted too many CRA funds were being used to balance the City budget.
Chair Taylor responded the land was bought as vacant land and had been appraised based on
the proposed development. The CRA encumbered half the monies, and the City encumbered
the other half in order to give land to the developer so he could afford to build affordable
housing. He noted the Ocean Breeze project did include single family homes on the west side
on the land given to them by the CRA. Rev. Chaney suggested the $1.3 million be retained by
the CRA and given to developers as an incentive. He also recalled the previous CRA board had
been chastised for doing the same type of incentive buying and selling. Mr. Weiland added the
City would not be receiving $650,000 of the $1.3 million.
Mr. Hay remarked, thinking outside the box, the purchase of the little market on Seacrest would
alleviate some of the drugs and crimes in the area. Funds should be found to purchase the
market and reduce the cost of police patrols and address safety issues.
No one else coming forward, Chair Taylor closed the public audience.
X. Legal:
A. Proposed Resolution Recommending the amendment of the CRA Plan and to
Modify the Redevelopment Area Boundary Description to Confirm Inclusion of all
Unincorporated Enclaves Annexed Into the City After November 8, 2000;
Supporting Automatic Inclusion of Annexed Unincorporated Enclaves into the
Redevelopment Area; Resolving Issues of Retroactive Reallocation of Ad Valorem
or TIF Revenues Between the City and the Community Redevelopment Agency
Chair Taylor read the title of the resolution and explained the matter had been before the
Commission and needed to be approved by the CRA by resolution.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to approve the resolution. Mr. Hay seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
XI. Old Business:
A. Discussion and Approval of FY 2008-2009 Budget
Vice Chair Rodriguez’s review of the budget revealed no monies had been allocated for the MLK
project because the developer did not need the money until 2010/2011. Due to budgetary
concerns, he recommended some monies be set aside for the MLK project. He proposed using
$666,000 from the surplus, $313,000 from the contingency fund and half of the $800,000 for
6

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

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

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

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL September 2, 2008
of $3.6 million for the entire project. The Board could decide to not move forward with
American Realty Group on the west side.
Mr. Chirkinian offered to hold monthly meetings with the community to keep the citizens
updated on the progress of the project on the west side and single family residences. American
Realty was working with Room to Grow (RTG) on providing affordable housing at $90 a square
foot. There was an application for tax credits on the east side and due to a proximity clause
requiring access to a 10,000 square foot grocery store within a mile of the site, the credits
would not be given. Ms. Bright agreed it was an issue with the MLK project as well and for any
builder. Mr. Chirkinian advised he was committed to both the east and west side, but there
were conditions beyond his control. Changes would be required on the proximity issue for tax
credits to be given for any developer to proceed. It was suggested another six months was
needed to allow for the language change and the tax credits.
Vice Chair Rodriguez contended the Board had an obligation to offer the project to the second
builder, the Carlisle Group. The Carlisle Group wanted to do all rental units. He felt there was
a material difference from the original proposal to the current proposal, and the selected builder
had defaulted in the payment. The Board should now proceed to the second builder and
continue on to the third until a suitable builder could be found. Mr. Chirkinian countered that
any developer would have gone through the same process and had the same outcome.
Ms. Bright expressed her concerns from a redevelopment perspective. A request for proposal
(RFP) was issued and three responses were submitted. The RFP was again issued and
American Realty was chosen because they met the needs of the citizens of the Heart of
Boynton for home ownership consistent with the existing plan and could go forward
immediately. She stressed the goal needed to be redevelopment. The proximity clause was an
issue for any developer. The RFP has gone out twice already this year and further responses
were doubtful if the process was started all over again.
Vivian Brooks, Assistant CRA Director, explained the first issue to be decided was if notification
would be sent to American Realty that they were in default of the contract on the east side.
There are two separate and independent legal agreements. The second issue was if the last
proposal by American Realty was a material difference from the proposal offered with the
second RFP for the west side. Consideration has to be given to the market and flexibility will be
necessary over a period of time for market adjustments. Financially, rentals are more
desirable; however, rentals may not be best for the community.
Attorney Cherof stressed an agreement was entered into with the CRA, and the parties
negotiated the terms of the agreement, some of which were dictated by American Realty,
including the deposit which is in default. The contract affords a curative clause, allowing
American Realty to walk away from the contract or asking to renegotiate the contract. Mr.
Chirkinian was not sure, if a default letter was sent, the monies would be forthcoming until the
proximity issue could be survived.
Ms. Brooks explained the point system for the award of the tax credits in relation to the
proximity clause. It impacts not only the Ocean Breeze project, but the Martin Luther King
Boulevard project with Auburn Group as well.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, FL September 2, 2008
The options were discussed. Mr. Hay favored the single family homes on the west side, and
American Realty had done a good faith effort. He wanted to remain with the developer for the
west side. He did not want to delay the east side development and, if necessary, renegotiate
the contract for the east side.
Chair Taylor summarized the consensus that there would be a new proposal for the west side, a
default letter issued for the east side, and the second developer would be contacted. Attorney
Cherof clarified that Mr. Hay suggested the declaration of default not be given for the east side,
but afford them additional time to make the deposit and to maintain continuity with a developer
for the entire project. Mr. Weiland wanted to renegotiate the west side and let the east side
ride until the proximity clause was resolved. Ms. Ross concurred, as did Vice Chair Rodriguez.
Vice Chair Rodriguez suggested the default letter be issued, but not acted on until the proximity
issue was resolved. The second developer could then immediately be contacted. Attorney
Cherof advised, if the default was not declared, the option to declare it at any time is reserved.
The interest in the land should be held with the City. A very stringent timetable and time line
should be included in the contract for negotiation.
Mr. Chirkinian advised the next step would be to speak to the County and to the City for State
Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) funding, and obtain commitments to move
forward. Vice Chair Rodriguez contended the deal was profitable if the City got something in
return for the land.
C. City’s Long Range Revenue Increase Study Options: Shrink TIF District
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to deny Item XI.C. Mr. Hay seconded the motion.
Vice Chair Rodriguez questioned why the item appeared on the CRA agenda when it was a City
issue. Ms. Bright was asking the Board if the determination of the boundaries was a real
concern, how she could do her job in dealing with developers. Chair Taylor declared the CRA
was not in favor of reducing the CRA boundaries.
Kurt Bressner, City Manager, commented that none of the City staff had contemplated
discussing any bond issue the CRA had for not going forward and paying the bonds. The
backup materials indicated the City could allow bond issues to default. If that were allowed to
happen, it would affect the whole faith and credit of the City over defaulted bond issues. Any
analysis done with respect to any impact to the CRA, would not include defaulting on bonds.
Mr. Bressner wanted the public to be clear it would be an irresponsible position for the City.
The City would incur the debts whether bond counsel felt it was a legal obligation or not for the
full faith and credit of the City.
Mr. Hay and Ms. Ross appreciated the explanation. Mr. Bressner stressed he had a fiduciary
responsibility to make sure the community, including the CRA, was protected.
