Dear CRA Board Members:
Attached is the CRA's Budget Workshop material for FY 2009-2010.
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.
Sincerely,
~,;/~
Susan Harris
Finance Director

Kurt Bressner, City Manager
Barry Atwood, City Finance Director

· Green Line- NO. Would need to offer it 2 days a week.
· Red Line- YES.

Trolley Cost Variables
3 Major Trolley Cost Variables:
1) Eliminate Saturday Service on the North Route
- Technically Less Riders on Saturday. However,
Saturday has highest riders/ hour. Less Saturday Riders
due to Less Operating Hours. (Saturday Hrs: 9:30-5:45)
2) Charge for the Trolley Ride (On Both Routes)
- Issue is Upfront Costs and Costs of Collection
- General thought is for small routes (like only 2
vehicles) the cost /effort of collection not worth the
money received.
3) Offer South Route a few days a week (4 Options)

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.

High above Manhattan Beach, a figure with long,
blond ringlets sat astride a red-and-silver
bicycle, its shiny metal wheels spinning in the
afternoon breeze.
One of seven pieces installed Monday as part of
the city's long-awaited sculpture garden, the
large moving sculpture marks the fruition of a
project in the works since 2002.
"It's a labor of love," said Juanita Purner, who
helped guide the project as Manhattan's cultural

arts manager. "When you finally get to the
completion, it's nice to be able to be a part of
that process."
The sculptures, mostly about 12 feet tall and
scattered downtown near City Hall, are the first
installations in what city leaders hope will be an
ongoing project with new pieces

"It shows off a lot of reflection, and it should
just dance there on the plaza," the San Diego-
based artist said. "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.

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.
An official dedication ceremony is set for 5 p.m.

The wood in this piece Is wood laminate in the shape of a pod forming ribs, with the rlverstones hanging as a
pendant In the middle.
Herb works in wood, steel and stone, and hiS work has been used In private and public gardens. His sculptures

temporary Installations.
"The Path", pictured at right, features a series of three low metal tables
that are oriented to the oround, with a circular pile of pebbles In the center
of each table.
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. Stone and wood speak for the physical world while rusted steel addresses human abuse of the

environment. Through my work these conditions come together In a conversation of peace and spiritual quiet
creating a reconciliation. In today's world so many of us cry out for such a healing..
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).

LINDSEY MOLYNEUX
KEVIN WIBERG
"Arab", pictured at left, Is a driftwood piece created by Lmdsey Molyneux. Lindsey Is an artist
from South Royalton, who has transformed her love of horses Into an elegant body of work. She
works usIng found driftwood to create representational works depicting horses.
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.

JOE HALLOWELL
"Eating Crow", pictured at right, Is an aluminum and steel sculpture of a large fork with a black crow perched
upon the tines. 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....

marble bench with smooth lines of detail.
Anne has been working In stone and metal for the
last few years and has recently become President
of the Board of the Carving Studio and Scultpture
Center in West Rutland
WILLARD BOEPPLE
"The Goldstone Memorial", pictured at left, was created In 2001 by WJllard Boepple of North
Bennington. 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."

FY 09/10 Boynton Beach eRA Budget Workshop
Downtown Public Market
Due to the severe downtown in the real estate market, staff has been exploring various
concepts to redevelop the do\\-ntown area. 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.

Benefits of Markets
(
PPS has long recognized the catalytic role that markets can play
In community development.
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.

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:
. Have public goals
. Operate In Public Spaces
. Serve locally owned and operated businesses
Many different types of markets exist in a wide range of
locations. There are:

Markets can help lead to a convergence of movements and
disciplines, bringing a wide range of community stakeholders
together. By impacting health, open space, and local economy,
markets can help demonstrate how collaboration between
community agencies that typically work separately can lead to
wide reaching beneficial results.

Markets are microcosms of their communities. They contribute to
job creation, the improvement of health Issues, and the creation
of safe public spaces. The Public Markets and Communities
paradigm illustrates that the overlap and Intersection between
community development and market development goals results
in innovative new solutions and mutually beneficial partnerships.
Collaboration creates more opportunities for markets and
community agencies and businesses to not only better achieve
their goals, but also to do research, policy work, communication
development, and broader outreach.

In 2002, PPS, with support from the Ford Foundation, researched
the ability of markets to impact opportunities for upward mobility
and social Integration (link to research PDF). PPS surveyed
customers and vendors at 8 vastly different markets to assess
their community and economic Impacts. Six of the most
prominent impacts were that markets: bring together diverse
people; create active public space; shape growth and minimize
sprawl; promote public health; provide economic opportunity;
and renew downtowns and neighborhoods.

Public Markets, with their locally grown, locally made and locally
owned businesses, accentuate the qualities that make a
community special. They create dynamic places, stimulate
economic opportunity and instill community spirit and cultural
exchange.
Public Markets provide needed goods and services such as farm
fresh fruits and vegetables, ethic foods, crafts and personal
services that are often unavailable at the same level of quality,
variety and price. .
Public Goals of Public Markets:
. attracting customers to urban areas
. supporting affordable retailing opportunities for small
busi nesses
. addressing the problems of street vending
. providing opportunities to farmers thereby preserving
farmland
. activating the use of public space
. providing quality produce to urban customers where
supermarkets are unavailable or limited
Within the U.S. and abroad, public markets have long shown
themselves to be effective tools in efforts to revitalize urban
communities.
Economically, Public Markets provide things that budding
entrepreneurs cannot create themselves:
. viable locations in which to sell their products or services
. shared marketing and promotional programs
http://stlouis.missouri.org/citygov/soulardmarket/facts.html
8/4/2009
Public Markets
Page 2 of2
. customers attracted to the total market experience
. economic opportunity regardless of an individual's existing
resources
Throughout the world, public markets are the main source of
food distribution. Europe boasts about 80,000 markets.
Barcelona, Spain, with a population of more than two million,
distributes 81 percent of its food through public markets. In
Italy, it is 55 percent.
The basic form and function of Public Markets retain a striking
continuity across both time and place. Markets provide a common
ground to mix, mingle, and enjoy the pleasures of socializing,
people watching, and shopping in a special environment.

7/31/2009
Dear CRA:
Thank you for your consideration in the purchase of a van for the Youth Empowerment Center.
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.
Stacey Robinson, Director BBYEC

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. Contribution to the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan

dhusty@news-press.com
An initiative is under way to lure more businesses into leasing vacant space in downtown Cape Coral.
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

because there's existing space available and they can move right in," Lewis said.
.ospective businesses, Jacobsen said, will be screened by the Small Business Development Center
to make sure they don't move in and then close their doors in a few months.
"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."

PROGRAM GUIDELINES
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
COMMUNITY REDEVElOPMENT AGENCY
PURPOSE
The Business Development Assistance Program is designed to help facilitate the establishment of
small businesses within the Downtown Development Authority District. 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.

applications are subject to the approval of the CRA board.

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
