Special Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, FL
October 21, 2008
Ms. Ross inquired if the name of the new business would be Mr. G's Rock Bar and Grill and
requested more information on the proposed business.
Lisa Bright, Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Executive Director, replied the
proposed buyer was rather vague and additional parking may be required. According to the
terms that the Board had issued with the purchase of the adult entertainment license and
alcohol (ABT) license, the Community Redevelopment Agency has the First Right of Refusal.
The property consisted of less than an acre of land and was being sold for $2.2 million. Neither
City staff nor CRA staff were aware of any details of the bar. The new owner would be required
to purchase a new liquor license.
Chair Taylor noted the options were to not exercise the First Right of Refusal and buy the
property for $2.2 million or exercise the First Right of Refusal and allow the seller to seek
another buyer for the property.
Motion
Mr. Weiland moved to exercise the Right of First Refusal. Attorney Cherof advised the motion
was properly worded. Ms. Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
V. Adjournment
There being no further business to come before the Boar, Chair Taylor properly adjourned the
meeting at 6:20 p.m.
