I. Call to Order - Chairman Jose Rodriguez
Chair Rodriguez called the meeting to order at 6:38 p.m.
II. Roll Call
A roll call revealed all the Board members were present.
III. Review the approval of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)
Agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and the Community
Redevelopment Agency.
Chair Rodriguez requested clarification from Attorney Bridgeman on the correct
document being considered. Attorney Bridgeman explained the document attached to
the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board agenda was not correct. The
document attached to the City Commission agenda was the corrected document for
consideration by both the City Commission and the Community Redevelopment Agency
Board.
Mr. Hay expressed concern that the timeline would be met so that no funds would have
to be returned. Ms. Bright explained the agreement represented the $400,000
allocation of the NSP money allotted to the CRA. The CRA staff and City staff had met,
along with a consultant, to arrive at the agreement that includes safeguards if there
would be non-conformance by the CRA within twelve months, for the Ocean Breeze
project, the money would be returned to the City. Upon approval by the Commission
and CRA Board of the agreement, a Request for Proposal (RFP) would be placed on
the July 13,2010 CRA Board agenda for the site work. The safeguard would be
effective one year before the deadline imposed by the Federal government.

Community Redevelopment Agency Board
Boynton Beach, FL July 6, 2010
Vice Chair Ross clarified the deadline for the CRA to develop a site plan and identify an
infrastructure contractor would be August 30, 2010. There is another deadline for
September 30, 2013. Ms. Bright confirmed the deadlines were agreeable to both City
staff and CRA staff. There would also be a monthly or quarterly report requirement
upon the CRA to document all progress to the Director of Community Development. If
the standards were not being met, Ms. Bright felt confident the City would not wait until
2012, but address the issue with the CRA in advance of the deadline.

Mr. Hay moved to approve the agreement between the CRA and the City for the use of
NSP funds. Vice Chair Ross seconded the motion.
Chair Rodriguez opened the issue for any public input and no one came forward.
The motion passed.
There being no further business to come before the Board, Chair Rodriguez adjourned
