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.

VII. Announcements Awards:
A. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
