He thought it was very touching to see the 15 veterans recognized, who served and protected life and liberty. Mr. Merker attended the Habitat for Humanity Blitz Build on June 8th, and also thought it was touching to see the faces, expressions and the dialogue of the individuals involved. He thought the comradeship of the participants willing to work for a cause and purpose was touching and respectful. Vice Chair Hay had no disclosures and announced he enjoyed his grandson, in -laws, daughter and family in Orlando. Mr. Fitzpatrick spoke to a constituent who was concerned about loitering on CRA property in the Heart of Boynton and felt it was a detriment. He thought it was something that should be looked at in the future. 2 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 Chair Taylor expressed an individual spoke to him about the loitering as well. Mr. Karageorge disclosed he met with Mike Campbell from the Community Land Trust and Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County. He was thankful to be back after being sick for two weeks, and thanked all for their concern while he was sick. He also attended and spoke at the kick -off for the Habitat for Humanity Blitz Build, along with Mr. Merker. The progress made by Habitat for Humanity was substantial. He encouraged all to volunteer and he applauded the builders who were constructing two homes that would be completed by Saturday. All received invitations to the dedication and he hoped the members would attend. The two builders were Current Builders and Pat Licata Construction. Current Builders constructed the Las Ventanas project and for them and their contractors to volunteer and work with Habitat for Humanity for free was impressive. Both construction companies were quality companies. Mr. Karageorge asked all to pray for Pastor Cheney who is back in the hospital. He thanked Ed Harris who held a gospel concert. Boynton United was featured as the United Voices of Boynton and groups from all over the country attended. A group from Pahokee named "In the Spirit" stole the show. Chair Taylor appreciated Mr. Casello attending the Veterans Ceremony with him last week. He agreed, recognizing men that were 80 and 90 years old was something to see. He was glad Boynton Beach holds these types of event as Boynton Beach is the only City in the County doing so. He also stopped by the Habitat for Humanity home building event. He saw all the work on the two homes and it was great. He looked forward to the completion of the homes on Saturday. B. Informational Announcements: i. Introduction of Tracy Smith - Coffey, Business Development Specialist Vivian Brooks, Executive Director, introduced Tracy Smith - Coffey, formerly with the Lake Worth Community Redevelopment Agency, as the newest staff member.

She produced a number of events while working in Lake Worth, and she was now working with Boynton merchants and already produced a two -page ad for them. She was helping with the Pirate event which, this year, will be expanded down to the Marina. She asked all to welcome her. ii.

Catch a Dance — 6/21/13 Kathy Biscuiti, Special Events Director, announced the event to be held on June 21st. She explained staff was trying to figure out a way to hold summer events and was aware they could not hold events outdoors with the weather, bugs, and heat working against them. Instead, staff opted to use the Woman's Club. At the Dance, there will be a 16 -piece orchestra, tables with a buffet dinner, a cash bar and professional dancers from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio holding demonstrations and teaching dance steps. The event will be a lot of fun and she hoped all would attend. The event would be held from 7 to 10 p.m. and the fee was $10 for the dinner, dance instruction and orchestra.

Vice Chair Hay agreed with Mr. Karageorge, but commented they needed to step up enforcement with dogs in public areas as it was getting out of hand. The Police do a good job, but he felt more enforcement was needed. D. Budget Meeting Date The Budget meeting will be held on August 27th at 6 p.m. at Intracoastal Park. XI.

No one coming forward, public comments was closed. 5 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 XII. Public Hearing: None XII. Old Business: A. Consideration of Responses to RFP for Auditing Services Susan Harris, Finance Director, explained responses to the RFP were received, and the Audit Committee evaluated seven responses. The number one ranked response was Sanson, Kline, Jacomino, Tandoc & Gamarra LLP, the CRA auditor for the past five years. They were the highest ranked qualified firm for audited services. Ms. Harris explained the firm stood out. In addition to all the audit standards that local governments have to comply with, the CRA spends funds as legislated by the State. They look for firms with experience with independent CRAs and this firm had the most experience. They audit Miami, Middletown, Southeast Overton, Parkland, and North Miami Beach, all having Tax Increment Financing arrangements that were larger than those in Boynton Beach. Since there was no learning curve, the firm was able to reduce their annual fees, and they gave a blended rate of $110 per hour for any additional work that may be needed regardless of the type of expertise warranted. Ms. Harris requested the Board approve Sanson Kline Jacomino, Tandoc & Gamarra LLP, as their auditor for next three years, with a one -year option to extend for an additional three years and have Ms. Brooks move forward with a contract. She also commented Mr. Tandoc, from the firm, was present to answer any questions. Motion Mr. Karageorge moved to approve Sanson, Kline Jacomino, Tandoc & Gamarra LLP as auditor and direct Ms. Brooks to draw up a contract. Mr. Merker seconded the motion. Mr. Fitzpatrick inquired if there was a policy to change auditors every three years for added protection. Ms. Harris responded there was no policy, but the service does have to be put out to RFP when it expires. She was comfortable with using the same auditor because the staff doing the auditing rotates, so it is not the same individuals reviewing the information each year. Mr. Merker opined regardless of the length of time the firm serves, if a Board is satisfied with the service, they should continue. Vote The motion unanimously passed. 6 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 B. Update on One Boynton LLC Project Ms. Brooks explained she has not yet worked with the Legal Department on any conveyance documents. Phase One encompassed the law firm, but the firm and the property owner have not come to terms on the cost of the land. She did not want to incur any costs drafting documents until the issues involved with Phase One were settled. She thought it was prudent to wait. Jim Knight, 740 Havana Drive, Boca Raton, thanked the members for their interest in the project. As of this morning, he spoke with Ms. Brooks and some members about moving the project forward because the project hit a roadblock. The problem was when the current owner purchased the property, the value of it was much higher and the value dropped. He had reached out to the property owner and offered to pay the appraised value to move the project forward. There was a discussion this afternoon between Howard Kanner and David Camalier to come to terms. He pointed out the law office, currently in Delray Beach, continues to expand. The firm opened another office in another state this past week, and they occupy all the space they leased in Florida. Mr. Knight was hopeful the project would come to fruition. The firm is excited about the project and Boynton Beach was the only location they considered to construct a building from the ground up. He commented parking would be a hurdle and any assistance would be appreciated. The firm would use the parking weekdays, but after hours and weekends it was available for public parking. He was looking for creative ways to accommodate parking. Since the last meeting, there were changes in the Brownfield regulations, and the regulations cannot be utilized as much unless there was true contamination on site. They will reach out to the Business Development Board, the County and State. Mr. Knight noted Governor Scott was in town for the expansion of Garda in Boca Raton. The Governor was pushing jobs. Chair Taylor disclosed he met with Jim Knight a week .ago, and they toured the legal offices trying to further an agreement. He lunched with Mr. Camalier, and he met with Mr. Comparato to try to interest him in the downtown. He was working all avenues to develop the downtown. Mr. Merker disclosed he met with Mr. Camalier in May and Mr. Comparato. Professionally speaking, when an operation of this size moves forwards, it takes time. He was optimistic with the idea that Mr. Camalier and the law firm are still speaking. Mr. Caselio inquired what the delay was. Mr. Knight explained one of the stumbling blocks was the price of the land and the parking. Mr. Knight explained Mr. Camalier and the property owner will meet on Thursday, which is a good sign. Mr. Knight explained it will be an exciting project, and it was a pleasure to work with the City. 7 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 Mr. Fitzpatrick inquired how much parking was needed. Mr. Knight did not know. They designed a building with parking on the parcel. It was not so much the land as it was the cost. The parking does not have to be below the offices, although they prefer it there. It was the most logical place for the firm and for public parking. Typically, on raw land and surface parking, there are about 90 to 100 parking stalls per acre. Currently, they were looking at a five -story building with the parking garage below and three or four floors of office space above it. A suggestion was made to contact the Business Development Board. Mr. Knight explained he spoke with Business Development Board staff last week, and they were pursuing incentives. Ms. Brooks commented the CRA could do a match. C. Update on Ocean Breeze West Mike Campbell, Habitat for Humanity, South Palm Beach County Community Land Trust (CLT), speaking for the CLT thanked Messrs. Karageorge and Merker for attending the kick -off of the Blitz Build. He explained there were two homes under construction, and the City stepped up and provided an inspector all day Saturday, Sunday, Monday and most of Tuesday, without cost to the CLT to help them accomplish their goals. Mr. Campbell announced 12 homes were either under construction or were completed. The Faith Based Community Development Corporation (CDC) has three homes ready for a Certificate of Occupancy. Habitat for Humanity has three homes with families in them, and the two homes that will be completed this week will close next week and have families as well. With 12 total homes, they are ahead of schedule. The CDC will provide two more homes in that community, which should be under construction within the next month, but there are five homes they were struggling with. The original agreement called for Habitat for Humanity to build 11 homes and the CDC to build 10 homes. The appraisals came in so low; the CDC had to relinquish half the homes they were going to build because they could not supplement them with the dollars needed to complete them, leaving five homes to be completed. The CLT has not been able to find a homebuilder to take on the project. They approached Habitat for Humanity to subcontract the five homes with them, but they were about $300K short on their fundraising to accomplish that task. The CLT intended approach the City to ask them to consider moving about $100K of the $200K that was awarded to the CDC for down payment assistance for the 10 homes to the CLT. The CDC constructed five of the 10 homes, so the CLT would use the $100K for the remaining five homes. The five homes must be market -rate homes sold to individuals meeting the 80% to 120% income ratio who qualify for bank loans. The five homes would be leveraged. 8 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 Vice Chair Hay commented the original agreement required 21 homes to be constructed; some would be low income and some would be moderate. With the CDC not being able to complete 10 homes, he inquired how it would impact the number of moderate homes in the community. Mr. Campbell explained the 10 from the CDC were to be moderate income, but the information he received showed the income level the CDC used did not meet the 80% market value except for one of the five homes and maybe a second. That was when the CLT questioned whether they could meet the other market rate homes. Three of them would not be at the 80% rate or above. The CLT agreed to take those homes back and find a new construction firm and a new way to meet the minimum qualifications set by the NSP and HUD. There will be at least six homes at the 80% to 120% ratio in that community. Vice Chair Hay explained this project originally was a challenge, and he did not want to end up with all of the 21 homes on the low end of the income scale. He emphasized moderate homes were in the mix for what the Board wanted for the community. Mr. Campbell understood and explained based on the information they received from the CDC, they could not complete them so the CLT stepped in to do it correctly, which resulted in the shortfall. Mr. Karageorge was disappointed in the CDC. Months ago, they were grilled by Commissioner Holzman and they provided names of families ready to move in. Three homes were completed and waiting on the Certificate of Occupancy. He believed for some reason, they were being held up and he understood the families got tired of waiting and went somewhere else. The HUD guidelines for the 80% to 120% income range for a family of three is $49,500 to $74,280. These individuals would be teachers, entry-level fire and police personnel, nurses and technicians that were wanted in the community. The intent was to have low and moderate residents. For a family of four, the range is $55,050 to $82,440. Mr. Karageorge explained the CDC receives 70% of their funding from the City of Boynton Beach via CDBG and SHIP funds. Additionally, they received $200K almost two months ago for homebuyer assistance for the 10 homes, which would be an incentive of $20K per home for 10 homes. Mr. Karageorge would like for the City Commission to ask the staff that oversees the program for an accounting of those dollars from an operational standpoint of the CDC and the $200K. He acknowledged the CDC's intent was good, and he supported the CDC, but he was disappointed they dropped the ball and stuck Habitat and the CLT. Mr. Campbell requested the members understand when the appraisals came in at about $50K less than they anticipated, they recognized they could not do it. The CDC could have waited until now to advise them of the issue, but they stepped up in December and alerted them of a problem. 9 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 Mr. Karageorge agreed, but pointed out since that time, they asked for $200K in homebuyer assistance. Mr. Campbell explained those funds were earmarked for them in February 2012 and were awarded in 2013. He pointed out Habitat never requested CDBG or CRA funds. The Board ensured the properties would not be slum and blight, like Boynton Terrace was, by not allowing them to be rental properties. The City invested $400K for infrastructure, and it was important the community stayed a mixed - income community. He favored the $100K, but thought in this market, moderate - income families needed to be incentivized because they can go elsewhere. The $20K needed to incentivize each home would now be more like $30K per home and he anticipated a shortfall of $300K. He was aware Habitat was fundraising and has in -kind donations, but they were not reaching the goal they would like, due to the economy. Mr. Karageorge was concerned and would like to direct the City Commission to look at what is being done with the $200K that was given and receive an accounting because the Board was funding an organization that dropped the ball and was funding 70% of their operating budget. Chair Taylor explained the CRA could request the CDC appear and give an accounting. Ms. Brooks agreed to do so. IV. New Business: A. Consideration of Funding of Wi -Fi Project for Galaxy Students Ms. Brooks explained this was a project started by the School District. The new Galaxy School will be ready for the new school year and they want to provide internet access for students at home in low- income areas for homework, research and parents to check Edline. The request came to the CRA to pay for the "Tropos" units, located on FPL poles, to provide the signal. The City would pay for the "Ruckus" units in the home to pick -up the signal, and the School District would provide students with refurbished computers to be used at home. Service calls would be answered by Palm Beach State College. In reviewing the Community Redevelopment Agency plans and Statutes, Ms. Brooks advised there was no legal nexus to pay for the service although the CRA has been asked to pay for back to school projects and backpacks. Ms. Brooks commented while it is a worthy project, the request is a social service. Ms. Brooks explained Comcast provides a service for families with students who receive free lunch. Comcast provides computers for $150 and Internet service for $9.95 per month. During the entire time the student is enrolled in school, the fee never increases. This program is for every child in Galaxy Elementary School. 10 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 Mr. Casello inquired if the program was available in other schools and Ms. Brooks responded it was a nationwide program. She explained the County was not contributing anything to the program and Mr. Merker found that questionable. The school provides tablets to students, but they do not take them home and they want students to study at home and access the internet. It is a great program and great price. What Comcast was suggesting would do the job of the proposal at no cost to the CRA or City. Vice Chair Hay agreed and questioned the school offering the program to Galaxy students enrolled in free lunch. From a CRA standpoint, he believed they should look at the Comcast program and from an efficiency standpoint, Comcast was the way to go. He also noted Palm Beach State College will take the service calls, but he inquired who would service the homes. The legwork to service homes needing computer assistance was hard to imagine. Comcast is a private company providing a service and it was thought they would have to come out. Mr. Karageorge commented each member went through Florida Redevelopment Association Training, which emphasized if an activity is not in the plan, it cannot be funded. Although the project is worthy, the CRA cannot have anything to do with it. Motion Mr. Karageorge moved to deny CRA involvement in the program and to encourage Comcast and the School District to work together. Mr. Merker seconded the motion. Mr. Buchanan commented it was obvious it could not be done legally, but the purpose of it is well intended. He did not care if Comcast charged 10 cents a month. He thought there would still be students in homes that would not pay it. That was why the school has taken this approach. The program had good intentions, but it was beyond the scope of the CRA's authority. Chair Taylor agreed with Mr. Karageorge. It is not in the plan and it could not be funded. Vote The motion unanimously passed. B. Consideration of Independent Legal Services for CRA Mr. Karageorge explained the State has mandated the Auditor General to audit all special taxing districts, which includes CRAB. So far, about 25 CRAB were audited and had findings because they did not abide by their Procurement Policies or to the Statute. 11 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 The Agency has put every professional service out to bid at various times and some of them multiple times. If audited, the auditor would look at the Agency's Procurement Policy and question why legal services were not put out to bid. Legal services were not exempt under the Statute or the plan. Mr. Karageorge emphasized he had no problem with the legal services provided. There were five CRA Boards since the seven - member independent Board was established, and at no time did legal services go to bid, which is a violation of their Procurement Policies. He praised the staff and the work they do. The Agency has had four years of clean audits, but he cautioned the Auditor General will not just audit the financial components. It happened in Ft. Myers, Hallandale, Riviera Beach and other CRAB. The Florida Redevelopment Association suggested in order to avoid the appearance of any impropriety, the Agency should have separate counsel from city counsel. Motion Mr. Karageorge moved staff generate an RFP for legal services. He wanted Attorney Cherof's firm and others to bid on it. He thought this needed to be done in order to be consistent, fair and objective. He commented a lot of money was paid to Attorney Cherof's firm over the years, and recently they paid $21 K for just the Lisa Bright case. If the Board wanted the CRA to be above reproach, have a squeaky clean audit and be a model for the State, they should issue an RFP. The Agency is up for seven awards this year and they do not want any issue to blemish their reputation. Mr. Buchanan seconded the motion. Mr. Merker thanked all who assisted him with his learning curve and commented he could not speak for others as this was a transitional period. He felt because of the cohesiveness and positive press about what was being written about the Board, it would be foolish to change. He understood Mr. Karageorge's statements, but because of the attorney, nothing has gone wrong. He emphatically was satisfied with the help and aid Attorney Cherof gave him. Mr. Casello inquired why the CRA Attorney left in February 2007, and Ms. Brooks explained when the City Commission sat as the CRA Board, he chose to resign. Vice Chair Hay clarified the Board was not saying they were dissatisfied with the services of Attorney Cherof's firm as he personally was happy with them. However, they had a close call recently, and he believed based on Mr. Karageorge's comments, it is something that needed to be done. By doing so, they will have followed all their guidelines. He thought Attorney Cherof's firm should respond to the RFP. Mr. Casello requested clarification the issue was they have not put the service out for bid, and the Board was not in compliance with its own Policy. It was confirmed that was correct. 12 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 Mr. Buchanan noted this was similar to the Wi -Fi issue. By law and procedure, they cannot support it. The procedures dictate they have to go out to RFP. Chair Taylor explained this issue came up at the Florida Redevelopment Association (FRA) Conference, and they requested an opinion regarding having the same attorney for the City as for the CRA. They were told that the FRA was aware of those situations and sometimes they work and sometimes they do not. Their recommendation was that the same legal firm should not represent both parties because of the possibility of conflicts. Mr. Fitzpatrick inquired what the trend was for other CRAB. Ms. Brooks responded Lake Worth, Riviera Beach and Delray Beach have independent counsel and West Palm Beach does not. Mr. Fitzpatrick inquired with the Lisa Bright case, if there was any chance the City and Community Redevelopment Agency would be on opposite ends. Ms. Brooks responded they are represented by the insurance firm's attorney. Attorney Cherof explained the City was initially a party to the lawsuit, and were immediately dismissed as not being a proper party. Mr. Merker commented on the concept of sometimes it works and sometimes it did not. He would support the motion, but his statement before about the positivity and the assistance the attorney gave to him was greatly appreciated. Mr. Karageorge repeated his motion to have staff generate an RFP for legal services. Vote The motion unanimously passed. Ms. Brooks commented this item will come back to the Board in August. XV. Executive Director's Report: A. Project Status Update XVI. Future Agenda Items: A. Consideration of Responses to RFQ for Professional Services B. Consideration of Responses to RFP for Insurance Brokerage Services XVII. Adjournment Ms. Brooks announced Margee Walsh, the Marketing Director, will be leaving, and moving to North Carolina as she was getting married. Ms. Walsh did a great job with 13 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, FL June 11, 2013 branding and marketing. Staff appreciated the job she did and her sense of humor. Her last day is July 2nd. The Board members wished her well. There being no further business to discuss, Chair Taylor adjourned the meeting at 7:45 p.m. Catherine Cher Minutes Specialist 061313 14
