PRESENT Gerald Broening, Mayor Wilfred Hawkins, Interim City Manager Henderson Tillman, Vice Mayor James Cherof, City Attorney Ronald Weiland, Commissioner Diane Reese, Finance Director Nellie Denahan, Commissioner William Sherman, Commissioner I. CALL TO ORDER Mayor Broening called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. The purpose of this meeting was to offer the new Commissioners an opportunity to learn about the CRA and have a base line of information. II. AGENDA APPROVAL Vice Mayor Tillman moved approval. Commissioner Denahan seconded the motion that carried unanimously. III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES – MARCH 8, 1999 Commissioner Denahan moved approval. Vice Mayor Tillman seconded the motion that carried unanimously. IV. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Discussion of CRA State Statute Attorney Cherof explained that the State Statute is detailed and very important because it is the building block for community redevelopment. The Statute creates a lot of definitions for conditions that exist in municipalities that need special attention. The Statute anticipated that City Commissions have so much to do that it would not be sufficient to include these detailed redevelopment issues under home rule powers. In addition, there might be conditions where Commissions would turn over redevelopment areas, in part or in full, to separate or independent boards. In situations where municipalities do not want to turn over this authority to a board, these redevelopment activities are so important that they require special attention in the Statute. The Statute is Chapter 163. Attorney Cherof read an edited version of key provisions of the Statute as follows: “Any municipality, to the greatest extent that it determines it is feasible, shall afford maximum opportunity in relationship to rehabilitation or redevelopment of a community redevelopment area. They shall do it by looking to private enterprise.” 1 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 The primary task of the City Commission, as the Community Redevelopment Agency, is to stimulate redevelopment by looking to the private community. Offering special types of taxing arrangements, incentives, cost sharing, doing infrastructure improvements, etc. can accomplish this. The key to a determination that there is a need for a Community Redevelopment Agency is that there is a need for a Community Redevelopment Area (CRA). There was a finding here in Boynton Beach many years ago that this City had an area that was either a slum or blighted area that required rehabilitation, conservation or redevelopment. All of those needs were in conjunction with ensuring that the public’s health, safety and welfare were addressed. The Community Redevelopment Area’s boundaries were expanded last year. The consultant to the City identified that the area was too compact and did not enable the City to fully redevelop even that compact area without looking beyond those boundaries. A study was performed and the area was broadened to extend from the eastside of Federal Highway to the Intracoastal Waterway, north and south along Federal Highway within the boundaries of the City. Past and present Commissioners have requested a clarification of their powers. The powers are not listed in the Statute. However, it states that when a Community Redevelopment Plan has been developed, the Community Redevelopment Agency has whatever powers are necessary to implement the Plan with the exception of the following powers that are reserved for the City Commission: ? The power to determine that an area is a slum or blighted area. ? The power to grant final approval of redevelopment plans and modifications. ? The power to authorize the issuance of revenue bonds. ? The power to approve the acquisition, demolition, removal and disposal of property. The Community Redevelopment Agency has very broad power and this is the reason why the CRA is required to meet in the public and get public feedback before proceeding. Mayor Broening recalled a previous discussion of the role of the Planning & Development Board in this process. Mayor Broening requested clarification of the process a developer would follow when submitting a plan. Attorney Cherof advised that this is an issue that was not resolved. When someone has a development, they proceed in the same manner by visiting with the Development Department with their ideas or application. Staff makes an analysis. If the proposed development is within the CRA and there is something unique such as the abandonment of property, acquisition of property, a reconfiguration or rezoning of property, or change in a land use element, staff would move the application forward to the Community Redevelopment Agency. The CRA could make findings and recommendations. The CRA, in the Community Redevelopment Area, should be a filtering point for these ideas before they get to the Commission. We do not have a satisfactory outline available for the development community that talks about the process or timetable involved. 2 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 In response to Mr. Wische, Attorney Cherof advised that developers could not bypass the Planning & Development Board when submitting proposals for the Community Redevelopment Area because the Planning & Development Board is part of the regular approval process for any development. The Community Redevelopment Agency would look at the application and put it into context with the Community Redevelopment Plan to determine whether or not it meets the requirements of the Plan. Mayor Broening asked for clarification of the relationship between the City Commission and the Community Redevelopment Agency. Attorney Cherof explained that a good argument could be made that having the Commission serve as the CRA facilitates the process. If a project came forward where the CRA felt it would be necessary to acquire easements or rights-of-way, the CRA could facilitate in getting that land voluntarily. If the property owners resisted, the City Commission would then address the issue of condemnation. B. Discussion of CRA Operations & Funding Diane Reese, Finance Director, provided an overview of CRA financing. Much of this money is reserved as follows: Community Redevelopment Agency Fund Balance as of September 30, 1998 - $611,563 Façade Program - $ 30,000 ? Core Grant - 12,725 ? Home Improvement - 47,737 ? Matching Grant* 175,550* ? Appropriated to 1998/99 Budget 250,000 ? TOTAL RESERVED $ 516,012 UNRESERVED* $ 95,551* *Current Monies available for new projects. Community Redevelopment Agency Prior Year Fund Balance Appropriated for 1998/99 Budget - $250,000 TIF Taxes (Ad Valorem Taxes from City & County - $208,736 ? Interest Income - 33,000 ? TOTAL NEW REVENUE $241,736 TOTAL PRIOR YEAR FUND BALANCE & NEW REVENUE $491,736 1998/99 BUDGETED EXPENSES $491,736 3 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Community Redevelopment Agency 1998/99 Budgeted Expenses ? Operating Expenses - $ 17,896 ? Housing Program 254,586 ? Other Contractual Services - 11,000 ? Land Acquisition - 85,000 ? CRA Improvements - 122,154 ? Furniture/Fixtures - 1,100 TOTAL 1998/99 BUDGET $ 491,736 Ms. Reese explained that to determine the TIF in the Community Redevelopment Area, the taxable value before the creation of the CRA must be determined. In 1982, the value of the CRA was $78,410,000. In 1983, the CRA was created and the taxable value was $59 million. Those numbers are subtracted, the number of tax dollars that can be appropriated to the CRA results. That resulting taxable value was $18 million. That number is then multiplied by the City’s millage rate of 7.18. The City’s share would be $127,268 and the County’s share would be $81,468 for a total of $208,736. Ms. Reese briefly discussed the history of expenditures in the CRA. (A copy of this information is attached to the original set of these minutes on file in the City Clerk’s Office.) Larry Finkelstein asked if the $125,000 of CBDG grant funds goes into the CRA budget. Ms. Reese responded affirmatively. Mr. Finkelstein said the previous Commission allocated $150,000 when they dissolved the Economic Development budget. He questioned whether or not that funding was included in the CRA budget. Ms. Reese explained that the $150,000 is part of the reserve. Mr. Hawkins reported that one of the main reasons the CRA was expanded was to allow the City to redevelop the eastern half of the City. He referred to growth projections that were included in back-up material. We can anticipate a 3% growth rate by the year 2000. That 3% growth rate would result in realization of $262,000. Visions 20/20 helped establish and provide the basis to allow for this expansion. The County has approved the expansion and we are st expecting a valuation projection from the Appraiser’s Office by June 1. Since we have the justification for the expansion, the next major step involves planning. A decision must be made regarding what we plan to do in the area, where we plan to begin and how it will be accomplished. This will tie into the Visions 20/20 Plan. The consultants named specific districts such as the Downtown District, the Ocean District, the Coastal Quarter South, the Coastal Quarter North, Boynton Beach Boat Club Park Area, and the Western Community Center Park Area. The consultants defined these areas in an effort to provide areas of attention to allow us to prioritize where to begin and how we would proceed with redevelopment. We can plan specific redevelopment activity in the coming years. We will do district planning and overlay zoning type planning. We are getting ready to start the overlay zoning process in order to plan specific projects within the districts. One of the major concerns is prioritization. One of 4 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 the most important purposes of the Community Redevelopment Act is to encourage private development or public sector/private development. This is the process used to accomplish redevelopment. We can expect additional dollars in the Year 2000. At that point we can move forward with prioritizing on the areas of concentration. When Mayor Broening expressed his opinion that prioritization had been accomplished in the Visions 20/20 Plan, Mr. Hawkins advised that the Visions 20/20 Plan contained suggestions and ideas. We do not currently have a CRA Plan and at some future date, we will want our own CRA Plan. C. Update & Discussion on CRA Projects We have five priority projects that will be paid for from General Fund dollars. They are: Ocean Avenue Promenade - $1,100,000 ? Boynton Beach Boulevard Promenade - 1,000,000 ? Surface Parking - 750,000 ? City Club - 1,000,000 ? Neighborhood Projects - 500,000 ? SUBTOTAL $ 4,350,000 Blue Lagoon Stormwater Facility - $4,900,000* ? TOTAL $ 9,250,000 *Paid for from the Utilities budget. Ocean Avenue Promenade In the Visions 20/20 document, the consultants divided the Ocean Avenue Promenade into sections with the 500 Block, from Federal Highway to the railroad tracks, a residential area from stst the railroad tracks to NE 1 Street, and the Town Square Area from NE 1 Street to the end. Staff is in the process of planning the engineering for the redevelopment of Ocean Avenue. The City will do the infrastructure improvements along the Ocean Avenue corridor that may include street paver bricks, additional landscaping, paver bricks along Seacrest Boulevard and Ocean Avenue, the imposition of a City seal, and underground utilities. There will be extension of the width of the sidewalk, the addition of paver bricks, planting of trees and lush landscaping, the addition of a bike lane, benches, trash receptacles and tree planters. Gee and Jenson will do the engineering and staff will be the project team. The business community along Ocean Avenue will be presented with Option A and Option B. It is anticipated that the project team will begin working on this project within the next two weeks and a project schedule should be ready by mid to late May. 5 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Bruce Black asked if the Dolphin Project is going to be a reality. Mr. Francios anticipates receiving the final permitting for the expansion of the Dolphin next week and the project should be open for business in October of this year. Mr. Hawkins explained that the City’s intention is to do the infrastructure along Ocean Avenue all at one time since that is the most cost-effective way to complete the project. It will be a trying time for the people along Ocean Avenue. The project could take 18 months to complete. The City hopes to have this project up and running by the end of this year. Mr. Hawkins said that a part of the project might require going slightly past the right-of-way onto some private property to do some landscaping and wall treatments. He is hopeful this will not present a difficult situation. Mayor Broening inquired as to whether or not the merchants and residents were polled to get their input on this project. Mr. Hawkins responded negatively but said the City has advised people to review the Visions 20/20 document to view the concepts. The City will plan meetings with all of the affected people so that they have an opportunity to select their choice of either Option A or Option B. Christine Francios asked if the Ocean Avenue project would be completed at the same time as the Ocean Avenue Bridge construction. Mr. Hawkins responded that we would like everything completed at the same time and that is the reason why the City is fast-tracking the Ocean Avenue Promenade project. Mayor Broening pointed out that the bridge project is on schedule because of an incentive clause in the contract. Mr. Hawkins explained that this is an option available to us because it is a contractual agreement. Neighborhood Plans Mr. Hawkins advised that we are completing neighborhood plans. The CRA agreed to allow the neighborhoods to get together to develop plans. Bruce Black advised that his neighborhood encompasses from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Woolbright Road and from Seacrest Boulevard to I-95. The residents met with Hank Ackermann and Dan DeCarlo to discuss items they would like to see in their neighborhood over the next five to twenty years. The community prioritized their list and will develop a plan. One of the things they talked about included sidewalks. On thth SW 10 and SW 12 sidewalks would be provided on one side of the street from Seacrest Boulevard to Forest Park Elementary School. Two other items involve the 57 vacant parcels of land in the community. The residents would like two neighborhood parks. Some of the residents would like to see bronze historical markers. One of the wildest ideas was to bring the monumental arch over from the West Side of I-95 and Ocean Avenue. The City wants the communities to come together to formulate their plans for submission to the City Commission. The Commission will then decide on the level of funding for the project. No boundaries have been set for the $500,000 that has been set aside for neighborhoods. However, the desire is that the emphasis will be on the older eastern side of Boynton Beach. 6 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Boynton Beach Boulevard Promenade When considering the funding for Boynton Beach Boulevard Promenade, a decision was made th to phase this project. Phase I will be from Boynton Beach Boulevard to NE 6 Street. The first phase will be easier and deals with existing rights-of-way. The second phase is more difficult because of Department of Environmental Regulation permitting and rights-of-way. Phase I will address the entranceway. The City is currently working on some of the permitting issues and working with FDOT to determine ownership issues of the property toward the end of the Promenade. There is some private sector interest in this area. Once a decision is made on how we want this Promenade to look, we can move forward with Phase I. The money has already been set aside for Phase I. Surface Parking The Visions 20/20 Plan suggesting setting aside money to help kick-start the parking application in the CBD. The developers of the marina project advised the former City Commissioners that they had a parking concern. They presented a proposal that could possibly allow the City to participate in dealing with the parking issue on-site at the marina and the overall parking in the downtown. The suggestion was that the City use $750,000 in helping the marina deal with this issue. The City is still in the development stage of those discussions and this issue has not yet come back to the Commission for final action. The developers understood that the City would not cut them a check for $750,000 so that they could build a parking garage. The idea was for them to come back with a parking plan. We would then give incremental disbursements of the funds if that were the Commission’s desire. The City has hired a consultant who is working on fine-tuning a parking plan for the CRA. The Visions 20/20 study broached the discussion of the need for future parking. We have refined and further defined more accurately our parking needs in the downtown redevelopment area. They will provide more specific data and statistics to help us plan how to deal with parking. In response to Mr. Finkelstein, Mr. Hawkins advised that the boundaries of the study cover only the CBD area. Commissioner Denahan pointed out that until the Developer’s Agreement is finalized for the marina, the City has conceptually agreed to give $750,000 toward parking in the area. Therefore, looking for a solution for the whole parking issue has been stalled. Therefore, the Commission cannot move forward until that issue is settled. Commissioner Denahan is uncomfortable with this situation. Mr. Hawkins explained that the former Commission was given a proposal. They told the developer to go forward and bring back something more concrete for consideration. Therefore, the Commission has the full opportunity to do whatever it wants to do with the funding. The City wants to control the parking scenario in the downtown. An ordinance was passed that restricts the uses in the area and eliminates the possibility of commercial parking lots. 7 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Intracoastal Waterway Park Master Plan With plans in place to demolish Royal Palm Clubhouse, the City is concerned about replacing that facility for City function space. One proposal was to put a facility on the Intracoastal Park site. One million dollars has been set aside for City Club. Mr. Hawkins referred to a rendering that was prepared in 1992 by Wallace Roberts and Todd. That plan talked about what could possibly go in that park. Wallace Roberts and Todd had a planning process that involved the community and three themes were identified. They were a passive park, civic/arts park, or civic center. Blue Lagoon Stormwater Project The engineering has not been completed on this project. The purpose of this project is to provide a place for storage and treatment of stormwater and to be able to handle new development downtown. Attorney Cherof advised that a lawsuit is pending with respect to the property. The City acquired the property through a quick take condemnation proceeding. A trial is scheduled for June to determine the final cost of acquisition. The City owns the property and is proceeding with the engineering and construction prospect. D. Discussion on CRA Membership The CRA could be made up of the City Commission, a CRA of existing Commissioners and two additional members appointed by the Commissioners or an independent body solely appointed by the Commission. In the original plan put forth in March, 1998, there was discussion about appointing two members and then moving toward an independent body in approximately the Year 2001. The discussion also focussed on who could sit on a CRA. The Commission has opened “the platter” with respect to the qualifications and background for membership. Commissioner Denahan pointed out that the CRA staffing consists of the Manager of Support Services, the Development Director, Assistant City Manager and the City Manager. The Manager of Support Services has been doing an excellent job and has been the staff liaison to the CRA. Two of the positions are vacant (City Manager and Development Director). Commissioner Denahan suggested discussing the hiring of a CRA Director at this time. Mayor Broening felt the plan, as presented, made good sense. The CRA performance during this fiscal should be evaluated during this fiscal year budget process. He would like to proceed with the plan that has been laid out, and add two community members with expertise in the areas of finance and/or real estate development. Commissioner Denahan was not opposed to adding two members, but felt it was important to have the right leadership in place. She recommended that while advertising for a new City Manager, we should be advertising for the CRA Director. 8 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Mayor Broening disagreed because he felt the City Manager must participate in that process. He further pointed out that it would probably cost approximately $250,000 to cover the cost of a CRA Director, staff and secretarial support staff. He does not want to spend that money at this time. Commissioner Denahan recommended not waiting for budget time to address this issue. She suggested advertising now for a CRA Director at approximately $100,000. She feels the existing secretarial staff could be used for support. By doing this, some of the additional work given to existing staff could be transferred over to the new person. Commissioner Denahan feels it is more important to have a CRA Director than to expand the size of the board. The national search firm could be doing the background work at this time. Mayor Broening said the problem he has with Commissioner Denahan’s suggestion is timing. He would prefer to have a City Manager on board because the City Manager would be working very closely with the CRA Director. Mr. Hawkins pointed out that search firms could find any level of expertise. He explained that a decision has to be made regarding what the CRA wants to be. A CRA Director is normally associated with an independent CRA. Mr. Hawkins pointed out that in developing the profile for Development Director, some of the things that could be included would be CRA, real estate, financing, and business background. This Development Director would “wear two hats”. Mr. Black questioned whether or not it would be necessary to develop qualifications for membership on the CRA. Mayor Broening said he would seek out individuals to see if they fit the idea of a citizen member of the board. He would want someone with expertise in financing and a very strong sense of how to get financial aid. When Mayor Broening inquired whether or not the CRA could do a bond issue, Mr. Hawkins responded affirmatively. Mayor Broening reiterated that it would be important to have a member on the board with a background in real estate and development. Commissioner Denahan felt Mayor Broening was indicating that a good leader was needed for the CRA. However, Mayor Broening said he is seeking out expert information – not leadership. An independent CRA would come along at some point in the future. He does not feel this is the time for an independent CRA. Ron Washam expressed his opinion that it would not be a bad idea to expand the board at this time, but it would be ludicrous to hire a director. Commissioner Weiland felt the CRA does not meet often enough to address the things that need to be accomplished. He would support expanding the board by adding two people rather than a full-time director or someone from in-house directing. He is not in favor of an independent CRA. He believes there is a need for additional staff people to help lead the Community Redevelopment Agency in the right direction. 9 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Mike Bottcher said the Chamber of Commerce recommends an independent CRA with professional management. He felt that any improvement from what currently exists would be an enhancement to move forward. When Bruce Black questioned why this discussion was raised and whether or not a decision was going to be made, Mayor Broening said it would be possible to make a decision, but he was not sure the board was ready to make that decision. He requested that the item be put on the agenda because the issue must be addressed. Mayor Broening reminded everyone that the Plan recommends adding two members and setting a time frame for evaluation. It further recommends setting a goal for a year that the CRA might become an entirely independent body. Motion Commissioner Denahan moved to expand the size of the CRA to add two appointed members to the existing CRA and direct staff to identify the cost of a CRA Director or provide the hybrid scenario and time frames for our goal setting and CRA performance. Attorney Cherof advised that the board could not address that issue at this meeting because the agenda item was a discussion of CRA membership. The agenda did not contain an item about expanding the board. Further, he pointed out that expanding the board is a power reserved to the Commission. This agency could make a recommendation to the Commission. Consensus There was a consensus that an item be placed on the next City Commission agenda to move forward on this. MAYOR BROENING DECLARED A BRIEF RECESS AT 8:15 P.M. THE MEETING RECONVENED AT 8:25 P.M. V. NEW BUSINESS A. Next Meeting Date – Wednesday, May 12, 1999 Mr. Hawkins advised the members that the CRA has been meeting on the first Wednesday after the first City Commission meeting of each month. However, staff will be in training on Wednesday, May 12, 1999. Consensus There was a consensus of the CRA to meet on Wednesday, May 5, 1999 at 6:30 p.m. either in the Library Program Room or Conference Room “C”. (Following the meeting, the location th of the May 5 meeting was determined to be Conference Room “C”.) 10 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Mayor Broening pointed out that a Resolution should be ready for that meeting appointing two new members to the Community Redevelopment Agency. VI. OTHER None VII. PUBLIC AUDIENCE Tony Newbold, representing the Chamber of Commerce, made a presentation with respect to City Club. The presentation focussed on the use of the land, the money and timing of this project and the possibility of the City competing with private enterprise with respect to meeting space. The Chamber’s position is that City Club will eliminate the open park space at the Intracoastal Park site. They also feel that there are other needs in the area of the Intracoastal Waterway and US 1; therefore, this money should not be spent in the northern part of the City. With respect to providing meeting space, the Chamber pointed out that the private sector provides ample space in the community for this purpose at places such as Benvenuto’s, Holiday Inn Catalina, Holiday Inn Express, Wahoo’s, Hunters Run Golf & Racquet Club and Pete Rose Ballpark Café. Additional non-profit sector meeting space is available at the United Way Conference Center, Woman’s Club, The Optimist Club, WXEL Community Room, the FOP Lodge off Mission Hill Road, the FOP Lodge on Miner Road and Bethesda Memorial Hospital. Mr. Newbold said the Chamber supports the development of this site as a park. They do not support the City Club component of the park. The Chamber requested that the $1 million be allocated in the implementation of the Phase I projects as outlined in the Visions 20/20 Master Plan. (A copy of Mr. Newbold’s presentation is attached to the original set of these minutes on file in the City Clerk’s Office.) Mayor Broening advised that since this was not an agenda item, there was insufficient public notice to discuss it at this time. This issue could be addressed at the next meeting. Brian Edwards, Chairperson of the Neighborhood Summit Image and Redevelopment Committee, made a presentation that opposed the construction of City Club in favor of redeveloping the downtown. (A copy of Mr. Edwards’ presentation is attached to the original set of these minutes on file in the City Clerk’s Office.) Kathy Shabotynskyj inquired as to whether or not the projects were presented in order of priority. Mr. Hawkins advised that there was no linear assignment of numbers because some projects could be done concurrently. Mike Hazlett, President of American Recycled Plastic, said there are a lot of businesses in this City that are not in the downtown that want to be included in what’s happening in the downtown. He said he attended this meeting for the purpose of reminding the City to include these local businesses in the plans. 11 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 26, 1999 Mr. Hawkins advised that we do not have a formal policy on looking for vendors within the City limits first. However, we are expanding our bid process by including it on the Internet and by providing a bid hot line. We feel this will allow more opportunities for local businesses to be part of purchasing and procurement within the City. Larry Finkelstein asked if the developer could make a presentation at the next CRA meeting to determine whether or not a project is worthy of moving it forward to the Planning & Development Board. Mr. Hawkins responded affirmatively. Commissioner Denahan requested that an update on the Progress Trail be provided at the May th 5 meeting since this is one of the marketing tools the CRA decided to use. Mayor Broening also requested information about the products that are currently available for marketing the CRA. Mr. Hawkins said we have one brochure that was prepared and we plan to spend more time on marketing. The City has a marketing team in place. The Economic Development magazine is out to bid for printing. VIII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Community Redevelopment Agency, the meeting properly adjourned at 8:55 p.m. Janet M. Prainito Deputy City Clerk (Three Tapes) 10/3/08 5:11 PM 12
