The impact of the continued economic decline has resulted in assessed valuation loss within the CRA district of 19% from prior year, and a decline in TIF, dependent upon final approved millage rates, in the range of 12% to 22%. I look forward to working with the Board in prioritizing projects and programs to support redevelopment in the CRA. Please feel free to call me with any questions prior to the meeting on August 10th.

East Side-West Side-Seaside Renaissance FY 09110 Boynton Beach eRA Budget Workshop Project/Program Options 211 E. Ocean Avenue The CRA has o\Wed 211 E. Ocean Avenue since February 2007. The purpose of the purchase was threefold; to activate Ocean Avenue between Seacrest and Federal, to create an office for the CRA and to preserve one of the oldest structures in the City. The change in Board leadership and direction has put this project in limbo for the last two years. Activating Ocean Avenue is a primary goal of the Do\Wto\W Master Plan. Therefore, the Board may want to consider the following options for using 211 E. Ocean for that purpose: 1. Land bank the property for some future use. 2. Renovate for use as CRA offices as originally planned. Estimated cost is $903,527. Options to finance are: a, Full amount with a monthly payment of approximately $5,3959 b. Finance $600,000 to get a payment that is close to the current rent payment of $3,300. 3. Lease out as a residential property. The estimated monthly net rent would be approximately $1,200 per month or $14,400 annually after taxes and insurance. 4. Create a public sculpture garden (See attached examples). The concept of a public sculpture gardens is consistent with the City's Public Art program and the Do\Wto\W Master Plan (See attached pages from the DMP). A sculpture garden would complement the other cultural uses on Ocean A venue such as the Schoolhouse Children's Museum and the library creating a node of activity. The Public Arts Program could also be run out of the building. If the unused City easements are abandoned (as originally proposed), the total amount of land is .40 acres. Approximately 30 pads can be installed throughout the grounds to display art pieces. Additionally, once the grounds are improved the property could be leased for weddings, parties, etc. to create additional revenue for the Agency. If the Board is interested in pursuing this concept, Staff can develop a more detailed budget to implement the public sculpture gardens. ,.. ... I ...

"I think it's going to be fantastic. " Once his piece was in place, Robinson climbed down from a ladder and stepped back to admire the sculpture. "Oh, wow," he said, giggling and gazing up at the sculpture. "It always looks different." Already, passers-by were admiring the sculptures Monday, said Candy Duncan, a member of the city commission that oversaw the project. Detail of "Remember" sculpture by Kent Kraber. (Robert Casillas/Staff Photoqrapher) The City Council in April selected the pieces for the garden's first installment, whose $50,000 price tag was covered by money coming from a dedicated public art trust into which developers pay 1 percent of the value of new buildings that meet certain size and value criteria. "So far, people have said it's cool," she said. "They liked it a lot. We put the bicycle up here because we knew the children would just love to watch it while playing in the plaza." Work began on the sculpture garden about seven years ago, but was sidetracked by several other pressing public art projects, including the 9-11 memorial located near the corner of 15th and Valley Drive.

Says Pat, .My art IS a reflection of the tensions that exist between mankind and the natural environment. It addresses the havoc that we have done to the natural world andthe devastation that the natural world has wreaked upon mankind. I search for ways to create harmony and reconciliation of this situation both In the media and the content.

BARBARA KAUFMAN "Column", pictured at right, Is a beautiful organic pillar with varled texture and color that Is enhanced by Its natural surrounding. A resident of Woodstock, Barbara is a ceramic artist that has work In collections across the nation and whose career has spanned decades. Her large outdoor ceramic sculpture withstands the winter weather well. Currently her art has referenced the female form with allusions to various cultures and at times more natural forms. In her studio In Woodstock, Vt., Barbara Stroock Kaufman '40 Is ever busy makIng art. It's her source of energy, she says; "I Just fall apart If I'm not doing It.' Her sculptures-many of which "live" In gardens or function as fountains or bird baths-are so popular that Kaufman sometimes has trouble collecting enough of them for an exhibit. Commissioned works have appeared In gallery shows throughout New England and Canada and have traveled coast to coast; her sculptures have also been on view at the Cincinnati and Philadelphia Museums of Art. Kaufman's "basic training" In art came from Harry Wickey [Skidmore College] who taught her first to sketch and then to sculpt (he himself went on to become curator of the reknowned Storm King Art Museum).

Undsey's passion for both art and horses was evident from childhood, from her early sketches in the gravel driveway to the life-size mare that appeared painted on her bedroom wall one day. Before Lindsey had her first pony, she actually built jumps In the yard and ran over the courses herself. ' She embarked on a lifelong Journey of creativity and Invention that has produced sculpture as unique and amazing as she Is. Lindsey currently lives and works on a farm In South Royalton, Vermont, collecting many of her supplies during mid-summer raft rides down the White River. . ,", "Interloper", pictured at left, consists of two saplings painted black and white with ceramic birds perched on the branches.

It is a humorous and striking representation of the familiar phrase. Joe Is a native of Oanvllle whose work ranges from whimsical to contemplative. Says Joe, .My art Is characterlzed by the dual themes of transformation and reality. I deal with realistically portrayed natural subjects that dwell In the realm of the unexamlned....

It was created In honor of Boepple's friend James Goldstone. Goldstone was a resident of Shafts bury, a director & producer of film on large sliver & small television screens, a co-founder & chair of the VT Film Commission & a trustee of the VT Arts Council. He died of cancer In the fall of 1999. The Goldstone Memorial Is the only permanent work In the Sculpture Garden. -I am an abstract sculptor & I want my scurpture to speak In a language of Its own Invention, create a reality of its own terms. A good sculpture gives us a glimpse of the world through a fresh eye. That being said, the Goldstone sculpture "FOR JIM" came to life in my mind's eye the way that Jim moved. I trled to get Into the sculpture a sense of his gentle, lanky grace - the way he walked or stood holding a glass. Remembering Jim, that Is what I saw & what I miss seeing today." .~ ,..,~ Accessibility POlicy Users with Special Needs Privacy Policy Equal Opportunity Is the Law. A Vermont Government Webslte.

One of the concepts is a public market. The site formerly known as the Arches is a 4.6 acre site that is cleared and could serve as a location of a public market. The benefits of public markets are: . Renews downtowns and neighborhoods . Brings together diverse people . Creates Active Public Space . Provides Economic Opportunity . Promotes Public Health There are over 1,750 public markets throughout the US and the number is growing as demand for organic produce and products increases. The cost to implement the market will have to be further researched ifthe Board wants to pursue this project.

The number of farmers markets In the United States has Increased dramatically from some 1,755 markets In 1994 to over 3,700 In 2004. Over three million consumers shop ~t these markets, where an estimated 30,000 small farmers and food entrepreneurs earn a partial or full living selling their local products. USDA has projected roughly $1 billion In consumer spending In urban, suburban and rural communities farmers markets. PPS' Public Markets Program aims to foster innovation and new models for public markets that are economically sustainable while maximizing their benefits on their communities, and contributing to the creation of public places that attract a broad diversity of people. 1 History & Context of Markets http://www. pps.org/markets/info/markets -program 8/4/2009 r.... I ( .. Benefits of Markets I Project for Public Spaces (PPS) Page 2 of7 The once thriving tradition of public markets in the United States can be seen In all too few cities today. Most markets closed, were torn down or converted Into other uses and it Is Important to understand what has worked and has not worked with recent public market programs as we Investigate future opportunities and challenges. PPS's market program also studies the experiences of other markets and their Impact on places. These markets - I.e., Pike Place In Seattle, Reading Terminal in Philadelphia, and North Market in Columbus - show the tremendous opportunity for public markets In today's world of shopping malls and retail chains. These markets also show that with careful planning and Investment, along with effective management, public markets can again become centers of sustainable iocal economies and community life. The future of the public markets rely on the places In which they are found. Truly successful public markets become catalysts and centers of entire districts where a variety of places to shop, stroll and be entertained are found. The area becomes a place where people want to live. Public markets create a critical mass of activity that enhances an entire area. Public markets are not contrived theme parks however, but real places. With the right plan, business mix, and management a public market can represent a real step forward for the enhancement of the local economy. What is a Ma rket? Public Markets and Farmers Markets: .

The Boynton Beach Youth Empowerment Center has been in operation since February 11, 2008. Our Center serves over 146 youth per month. Our center has many opportunities to provide our youth with social, arts, community service and other types of outings at little or no charge to the program. However, we are unable to take advantage of the opportunities because we do not have our own transportation. The lack of transportation also causes our youth not participate in other activities throughout the County with other Youth Empowerment Centers. The Center would like to be able to plan outings such as trips to the City Commission and County Commission meetings as well as library trips but we would need multiple cars or we would need to schedule events well in advance in order to reserve other transportation. This obviously causes us to miss valuable opportunities for growth with our youth. Boynton Beach Youth Empowerment Center would like to take our program to the next level of service to our youth so our need for transportation will continue to grow. The more youth we need to transport represents more youth off the street. Once again thank you for your consideration in this matter.

East Side-West Side-Seaside Rena"lssance FY 09/10 Boynton Beach CRA Budget Workshop Project/Program Options Commercial Assistance Program The Board may want to consider implementing an economic development program that will assist with business expansion and recruitment in the downtown area. Locally, the Delray CRA has run their "Business Development Assistance Program which provides rent subsidy for up to 18 months for new businesses. The Delray Beach CRA reports excellent success with their program and plans to continue to fund it and also to increase the amount of funding. Another example of the value of this program to economic development is in Cape Coral where the CRA is using lease assistance for vacant space in downtown Cape Coral ( see article). The CRA suffers from an image of slum and blight (hence the CRA designation) and therefore is at a locational disadvantage. Providing new and expanding businesses with additional operating funds during the critical start-up period can help to secure their future success. The CRA currently has over 100,000 sq. ft. of empty retail space. Filling that space in tough economic times will take longer if no incentives are offered to prospective tenants. The Board may also wish to target certain types of businesses that would add positively to the mix of current businesses and would further the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan. Elements of the program could include: 1. 12 - 24 month term 2. Example of Eligible Businesses: a. Restaurants b. Bars/Taverns c. Retail such as clothing, art, marine related, gift shops, etc. Example ofIneligible Businesses: a. Non-profits (unless operating a retail establishment) b. Automotive Sales and Service c. Industrial Uses d. Construction Trailers/Sales Offices 3. Rent subsidy of up to 1/3 of annual rent in the first 18 months of the lease for new businesses, businesses new to the CRA district and existing businesses expanding their square footage. 4. Concentration on Ocean Avenue, Federal Highway between 6th Avenue North and SE 18th Avenue and Boynton Beach Blvd. from 1-95 to Federal Highway. 5. Desired Outcomes: a. Job CreationlRetention b. Reduction in Commercial Vacancy Rate for the District c.

The effort, which includes lease assistance, is being drafted by the Community Redevelopment Agency staff with the assistance of the city's Economic Development Office and the Small Business Development Center at Florida Gulf Coast University. The plan should be ready to present to the CRA's board for approval in a month, said John Jacobsen, executive director. Vacant retail space dots the downtown area, and the goal is to attract new small businesses and existing businesses to relocate, Jacobsen said. As an incentive to relocate within the CRA area, the agency would offer lease assistance of up to one third of the monthly rate, with a cap of $500 if they sign multi-year leases, Jacobsen said. "Ve want to make sure we help the property owners fill their vacant space. We want to make sure we have a good tenant mix so that the new businesses will compliment existing businesses," Jacobsen said. The idea is to "put more feet on the street with businesses that attract people to come to the downtown area to shop at stores and dine in restaurants," Jacobsen said. The CRA is focusing on bringing more retail businesses, instead of doctors, lawyers, accountants and other professionals, into the downtown area. He said a list of the types of businesses the CRA wants to attract - art galleries, bookstores and restaurants, for example - is being drafted. "We're all in favor of economic development and attracting new business to fill up our vacant space," said Jason P. Tramonte, chairman of the CRA board, about the proposed plan. Some in the real estate industry also believe the lease incentives will help attract new tenants. "I think it's a great idea. Lease assistance in the CRA would go a long way to help out," said Gary Tasman, executive director of Commercial Property Southwest Florida, a Cushman & Wakefield Alliance. He is trying to find clients to lease space vacated by Publix and adjacent stores on Cape Coral Parkway. Overall, there is between 1 million and 2 million square feet of retail space in the CRA district, and 20 to 30 percent is vacant, Tasman said. Space of 1,500 square feet to 3,200 square feet would lease for about $1,800 to $3,700 a month, he said. Having a retail space vacancy rate of 20 percent or so is, in some ways, a plus in trying to attract sinesses to fill that space, said Audie Lewis, business recruitment specialist with the Economic ~velopment Office. "For a city looking to grow, we can tell them that they don't have to wait for something to be built http://www.news-press.comlapps/pbcs.dll/article?

"We want to make sure the businesses are viable. Small-business owners sometimes need a lot of help. They may be good at what they do in their particular field, but they may need help with information on marketing and bookkeeping," Jacobsen said. The Small Business Development Center offers seminars and counseling in how to better manage shops and restaurants and make them profitable, said Dan Regelski, executive director. He said that tips are also helpful for small-business owners to apply for loans with local banks. "It's our job to help people start businesses and grow their businesses, looking at marketing, pricing and advertising strategies," Regelski said. The center, he said, wants to help the CRA in getting "businesses that will prosper to move into the downtown area and help our economy." Additional Facts For more information .

The program allows the CRA to provide rental subsidies that are intended to assist start-up businesses during the critical first year of operation by reducing the cost of overhead expenses. HISTORY Originally established in FY 1994/95, the Business Development Assistance Program was available only to start-up businesses in the West Atlantic Redevelopment Area. At the time, the program was implemented in order to encourage job creation while reducing the number of vacant commercial properties on West Atlantic Avenue. In FY 2007/2008 the program was expanded to include the Pineapple Grove Arts District, which was also characterized by a surplus of commercial properties after several businesses closed and properties were redeveloped to provide additional commercial space for lease in the area. The program was expanded again in FY 2008/2009, making the eligibility area consistent with the current Downtown Development Authority District. The entire Central Business District is now within the eligibility area, as is a significant portion of the Federal Highway corridor and most of the Pineapple Grove Arts District. PROGRAM The Business Development Program provides rent subsidies of up to one-third of the business's monthly rent or $500 per month (whichever is less) for twelve (12) months anytime during the first 18 months of a multi-year lease. The maximum total subsidy per business is $6,000. Funding is budgeted on an annual basis and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. All applications are subject to the approval of the CRA board. FUNDING LIMITS & ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS Applicants must meet all of the following requirements in order to be eligible to receive assistance through the Business Development Assistance Program: 1.

Federal Highway Boynton Beach, FL 33428 RE: Proposal for the use of 2008 Grant Award for $100,000 Purchase and Conversion of Jim Ness Duplex Property located at 425 NE 2nd St. to a "2nd Chance" Single-Family Home Dear Ms. Bright: The Board of Directors of the Community Caring Center of Boynton Beach, Inc. would like to submit the following proposal for the use of the $100,000 award by the CRA Board of Directors for the purpose of purchasing a building: 1. In 2006, the CCC was given a United Way Diversity Grant, with the support of Wilfred Hawkins, to plan for a transitional housing program. Which was completed. A consultant was hire to prepare the model, set-up our forms, documents, policies and procedures for this program. 2. The plan would be to help give a family a second chance. It would require the following to be in place: a) the family would need to be recommended to us for consideration, priority would be given to local residents and recommendations by clergy; b) there would need to be participation in required programs designed for each situation for recovery, which may include anger management, drug testing, family therapy and counseling, family financial management, credit repair, probation or parole participation, AA and AI-anon meetings, nutrition education and faith community activities; c) children's school grades, development, and teacher comments would be monitored and mentoring would be provided; d) both should be capable of working or have a job commitment with a start date identified before consideration would be given; e) support systems would be interviewed and requested to sign a committed to assist the family, i.e parents, pastors/rabbi(s)/employer/counselors. 3. A fiduciary account would be established to help the family save towards the purchase of a home, i.e. First Time Homebuyers Programs, Habitat for Humanity, or the home that they are renting from CCC. Rent would be on a sliding scale based on the family's budget. The family would be required to maintain inside and outside of property and be subject to inspections. eRA Proposal for Grant Use Page 2 Since there would be no mortgage, after consideration is given to reserves for any major repairs, insurance and taxes, it would allow a generous portion of the of the rent paid to be saved each month. We are requesting that the mortgage and promissory note be designed to be 0% interest, forgiven over 20 years, and any remaining balance in the event of the sale of the property identified be transferable to another property. We ask you in considering this proposal to taken into consideration that the $100,000 grant is going to a non-profit. These funds cannot profit any individual or corporation. Should anything happen to CCC that would cause us to close our doors, we must dispose of all of our assets to other worthy non-profits within the community. Also for consideration is the fact that CCC would like be able to offer the family a chance to keep the home if they so choose, in which case, we would want to be able to transfer any balance on the loan to another property. Therefore, we ask your consideration in this matter as we partner with you in serving the needs of community, providing hope and opportunities to families is crisis, cleaning up the neighborhood, and helping to provide additional community stabilization through duplex conversion to single family residential - one family at a time. If this is agreeable, our attorney, John Eastham, would begin to draft the language and submit the documents to you for review. We are in the process of contracting with Mr. Jim Ness and have set a date of August 30, 2009 for closing. Sincerely, SflwuuJ ~on Sherry Johnson Executive Director Cc: John Eastham, Esquire
