All city employees should understand that responding to a public records request is a governmental service just like police protection and parks and recreation, and there is a responsibility to act accordingly. The right to access public records is "virtually unfettered." Absent an exemption, records must be produced no matter how inconvenient or burdensome. 2. When receiving a public records request, remain calm, polite and gracious even when the person requesting a record is insistent, belligerent, abusive and obnoxious. Do not be defensive or dismissive. Remember, most, if not all of the documents on your desk and in your computer are public records subject to inspection and copying. This could include a handwritten note on a napkin sitting on your desk. 3. Designate public records custodians and post a public announcement substantially similar to the following in every location where public access is permitted: Public Record Requests Requests for public records in this office should be directed to the following custodian located in this building: Name Physical Location Mailing Address Phone Number Email Address However, be aware that under Florida case law, "custodian" refers to all agency personnel who have it within their power to release or communicate public records. While that includes the designated records custodian, it also may include any person having "custody" of a record; that is a person with "supervision and control over the documents" or "legal responsibility for its care, keeping or guardianship." 4. Make sure all employees know who the records custodian is for public records located in their office and, if not the records custodian, who to contact if they receive a public records request. 5. Promptly acknowledge a public records request and respond in good faith. A good faith response includes making reasonable efforts to determine from others within an office whether or not the records exist and the location where they can be accessed. Include in the acknowledgment any circumstances that may delay a response such as the need to review the record for any exempt or confidential information that may bar release or require redaction. State the basis for any exemption, Including the statutory citation. Upon request, state in writing and with particularity, the reasons for concluding the record are exempt or confidential << S. Do not refuse to allow a person to inspect or copy public records because the request "lacks specificity." Do not insist on precision from the requestor in attempting to describe the document. However, If a public records request is simply too vague to respond to, consider the following approach: 1 Acknowledgement of Public Records Request "This acknowledges receipt of your request for (insert description of document requested) for (insert name of city). The state public records law requires a person requesting to copy or inspect a public record to identify the record with sufficient specificity to enable the custodian to locate it and provide you with a cost estimate to produce it. Please identify the requested documents with more specificity so that the city may fulfill your request if such a record exists. This may include the date, author, subject, title or recipient of the document, or other details that may aid the city in locating the document." 7. If providing documents for copying or inspecting in response to a vague public records request, consider attaching the following written response: "The attached records are provided as a good faith response to your public records request. Because the request is open - ended, vague, and /or lacks specificity, if you believe there may be other records in the possession of the city within the parameters of your request, please identify the records with sufficient specificity to enable us to locate it. This may include the date, author, subject, title or recipient of the document, or any other details." S. Do not require individuals requesting public records to disclose their name, address, telephone number, email address, or the like to the records custodian, unless the custodian is required by law to obtain this information prior to releasing the records. Requiring certain forms of payment such as a credit card or check, rather than cash or money orders, could preclude anonymity in accessing the requested information. Records must be provided to an anonymous requestor. Whether or not the request can be fulfilled immediately or requires some delay, whether one hour or one day, do not require the person to provide personally identifying information. 9. Do not require individuals to submit their public records requests in writing as a condition of gaining j access to the records. Requests may be made verbally, be made in person, over the telephone, or by email or regular mail. The unlawful act of requiring a written request as a precondition to gaining access to records should be distinguished from restating in good faith the public records request for confirmation by the requestor in a way that does not require the person making the request have to respond in writing or share personally identifying information. This restatement could be presented in writing or verbally. The city may require the custodian to complete an appropriate form acknowledging and/or describing the request, but not the individuals making the request. 10. Do not interpret the obligation of a custodian to permit record inspection and copying at "any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, under custodial supervision" as referring to conditions the requestor must fulfill before inspection is permitted; rather, the phrase refers to "reasonable regulations to protect the records from alteration, damage, or destruction" and not physical constraints designed to preclude review. 11. If the records contain both exempt and non- exempt information, redact that portion for which an exemption Is asserted, whether or not it is impractical or burdensome. The city may not ordinarily charge for the cost to review the records for exempt information, but it may impose a special service charge if the volume of records or number of potential exemptions makes It a "time- consuming task." 12. Do not impose an automatic or arbitrary delay —no matter how short---in responding to a public records request. No 24 -hour waiting period or limiting review to certain days and times of the week. 2 w Records must be available for copying and inspection whenever the city is open to the public. The only delay permitted under the law "is the limited reasonable time allowed the custodian to retrieve the record and delete those portions of the record the custodian asserts are exempt." 13. Permit individuals that simply want to inspect a record rather than obtain a copy, to do so. 14. If requested records are in the possession of a private contractor and not the city, do not simply give the person the contractor's name and phone number and instruct them to get the records from them. Offer to obtain the records from the contractor and provide them to the individual making the request. 15. Do not fail to respond to a public records request because of the perceived or stated motives and intentions of the person making the request. Do not inquire into motives or purpose, The person does not need to show any legitimate interest in the records or noncommercial purpose. Even if the person said, "I'm going to flush the records down the toilet," provide the records. 16. In the case of a public records request extending over a long period of time and requiring the extensive use of information technology and /or personnel, the city may Impose a special service charge and should considerthe following statement: Special Service Charge for Extensive Use of Resources or Assistance "The nature or volume of your public records request requires extensive use of information technology resources and /or clerical or supervisory assistance by (insert name of city department) personnel, for which you will be required to pay a special service charge in a reasonable amount. (Name of city staff) is assigned to supervise the production and copying of these records. His (or her) labor costs are (insert amount) per hour, and the labor costs of the clerical assistants are (insert amount) per hour. These costs reflect the actual cost required for the extensive use of city personnel to respond to your request." When possible in the case of such an extensive request requiring an extended period of time to produce all of the requested records, the city should consider providing copies as they become available, rather than waiting until all of the documents are produced. 17. If a person approaches a receptionist and asks to see a document sitting on his or her desk, or walks up to a marina deckhand and demands to see the contract for the boat sitting in Slip #7 or enters the police station demanding to photograph the visitor's log, an appropriate response would be: I "I am more than happy to respond to your request; however, I am not the records custodian and do not know if the record contains exempt information. Please have a seat and I will contact the records custodian to make sure it does not contain exempt information, and if it does, to redact those portions that are exempt. After that, you may then inspect or copy the record." 18, Do not direct a person making a public records request to another location to request a public record that is located in the building in which the initial request is made. Under the state public records law, "all public records should be kept in the buildings in which they are ordinarily used."

Report on CRA Sunset Date The Board asked that we determine the date upon which the CRA will "sunset." This requires an analysis of the Community Redevelopment Act, Section 163.330, et seq., which, like much legislation, is not always a model of clarity. However, after a thorough review of the Community Redevelopment Act, and discussions with attorneys representing the Florida League of Cities and the Florida Redevelopment Association, it is our opinion that the CRA will sunset on September 30, 2044, 60 years from the date the original redevelopment plan was adopted. To avoid future confusion and remove any doubt over this issue, and to be consistent with Section 163.362, we recommend that the CRA amend its redevelopment plan to make clear that the CRA's work must be completed by September 30, 2044. Further, in an abundance of caution and to avoid any question of the CRA's authority that might arise under a more restrictive reading of the statute, we recommend that this action be taken prior to the end of this fiscal year, September 30, 2014, which marks 30 years from the date that the original redevelopment plan was adopted. This will require holding a public hearing on the proposed modification after public notice in a newspaper having a general circulation in the area of operation of the agency. § 163.361(2). It will also require reporting the proposed modification to each taxing authority by writing or by oral presentation, or both. § 163.361(3)(a), Fla. Stat. The modification will also require sending a certified letter 15 days prior to the proposed action to each taxing authority which levies ad valorem taxes on taxable real property contained within the geographic boundaries of the redevelopment area. § 163.346, Fla. Stat. In this case, we recommend notification by writing only, in the form of the required certified letter. In addition, public notice pursuant to § 166.041(3)(a) must be provided, which means that the proposed ordinance may be read by title, or in full, on at least 2 separate days and must be noticed once in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality. The notice of the proposed enactment must state the date, time, and place of the meeting; the title of the proposed ordinance, and the place[s] within the municipality where such proposed ordinances may be inspected by the public. The notice must also state that interested parties may appear at the meeting and be heard with respect to the proposed ordinance. 00385078 -1 Therefore, we suggest the following actions according to the timeline below: SEPTEMBER 9, 2014 Boynton Beach CRA: 1. Approve the Resolution (CRA Resolution) to amend the redevelopment plan to clarify the sunset date and recommend that the City of Boynton Beach formally amend the redevelopment plan. 2. Transmit the approved resolution to the City of Boynton Beach along with a recommendation to the City to enact a resolution and ordinance substantially in the form recommended by CRA counsel, to be acted upon and approved pursuant to law on or before September 30, 2014. 3. Send notice of the proposed plan amendment to each taxing authority which levies ad valorem taxes on taxable real property contained within the geographic boundaries of the redevelopment area [no later than September 12]. City of Boynton Beach: 1. Receive the CRA Resolution if adopted as described above. 2. Schedule 2 public hearings — one for September 16, and a second on September 29 or 30. 3. Hold Special Meeting to approve the transmittal of notice of the proposed plan amendment to each taxing authority which levies ad valorem taxes on taxable real property contained within the geographic boundaries of the redevelopment area. 4. Transmit notice[no later than September 12]. SEPTEMBER 16, 2014 City of Boynton Beach: 1. Approve the Resolution (City Resolution) finding that certain areas remain blighted and confirming the continued necessity of rehabilitating these areas. 2. First reading of the Ordinance (City Ordinance) to amend the redevelopment plan to clarify the sunset date. AT LEAST 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE SPECIAL MEETING City of Boynton Beach: 1. Ensure that the special meeting, for the second reading of the ordinance, is properly noticed and published in newspaper of general circulation at least 10 days prior to the special meeting. SEPTEMBER 29 OR 30, 2014 City of Boynton Beach: 1. Second reading and adoption of the City Ordinance. 00385078 -1 LEWIS LONGMAN & WALKER P.A.

Spillias, General Counsel DATE: September 2, 2014 SUBJECT: Lease with Adventurous Palate, LLC, d /b /a "The Little House" By email dated August 25, 2014, you were advised by Chrissy Benoit, the principal of Adventurous Palate, LLC, d /b /a, that September will be the last month that she will be operating The Little Mouse in the building that she has leased from the CRA. In the email she has asked the CRA to consider assigning the lease to Mary Sisoian who owns an establishment in Lake Worth called Rudy's. In response to an email from you, Ms. Benoit has indicated that she will be paying September's rent in a timely manner. You have asked me to review the lease and provide staff and the Board guidance in terms of the CRA's rights and remedies, as well as the process for moving forward. The lease does not include provisions addressing the following issues: 1. The CRA's remedies in the event of a default by the tenant. 2. Whether a landlord's lien attaches to the tenants personal property in the event of default.

The landlord's right to repossess the property and when. 4. Given the cost - splitting of the tenant improvements, ownership of the tenant improvements and equipment. . The timing of the landlord's right of re -entry and repossession of the property. In the absence of specific provisions regarding these matters, common law and statutory principles would be applied to the situation. My analysis and suggestions are made in the context of these principles applied to the facts presented. A. At this point in time, the tenant has not failed to pay rent or any other amounts due (as additional rent) in a timely manner. Her email could be viewed as what is known as an anticipatory breach of the lease, that is, an unequivocal statement that she does not intend to honor the terms of the lease after September 30. However, while that may be the clear import of her email, declaring an anticipatory breach and moving forward as if the default has occurred, can be problematic if the tenant argues that her statement of intention was not unequivocal and that, therefore, the CRA is actually the breaching party. As such, while the CRA can move forward to prepare for its next actions in anticipation of the tenant abandoning the lease and the property after September, it would be best to not move forward with a declaration of default until October's rent is not paid, another breach occurs or Ms. Benoit unequivocally states that she is terminating the lease. B. Once it has been definitively determined that the lease has been breached, the CRA can declare the lease in default. The non - monetary remedy available to the CRA is the repossession of the leased premises. This remedy releases the tenant from any further obligations under the lease. As for rent and other monies due, once an official default has occurred, the CRA is legally entitled to the rent due for the remainder of the terra of the lease less any monies received from the re- letting of the property. Moreover, the CRA has a legal obligation to use its best efforts to re -let the property at the highest rental possible to mitigate the potential damages. Thus, any rental income received from re- letting the property during the remainder of the time that The Little House would have occupied the premises through the end of the lease would be subtracted from any monies due by virtue of the default. C. With respect to the tenant improvements and equipment, etc., generally the law provides that anything that becomes a fixture to the property becomes a part of the property and remains under the ownership of the property owner. There are however notable exceptions for Trade Fixtures, which are often removable from the premises at the end of the lease. In the event of a dispute over fixtures or trade fixtures, Courts will examine all relevant factors such as the annexation to realty, the appropriateness of the use /purpose, and the intent of the parties. Tools, furniture, free - standing appliances, etc., are generally considered personal property and would belong to the tenant, possibly subject to a landlord's lien in the event rents remain unpaid. By statute, a Landlord's lien for rent is available to every person to whom rent may be due. The lien may include all property of the lessee usually kept on the premises and upon all other property of the defendant. 00384352 -2 2 It is to be noted, however, that the lease with the CRA is also subject to the CRA's Land Lease Agreement with the City which specifically provides that "no equipment or property shall be subsequently relocated without the CITY approval to which the approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed." (Section 5a.) The City could very well determine that it would be reasonable to withhold such consent in the context of a breach of the lease. This would be a determination for the City to make. D. With respect to Ms. Benoit's request that the CRA consider the assignment of her lease to Ms. Sisoian, she has the right to make the request; however, the lease cannot be assigned without the express consent of the CRA. E. Section 5 of the lease with Ms. Benoit states that commencing in Year 2 the tenant shall pay the CRA, as additional rent, the property tax and the property insurance premium cost incurred and paid for by the CRA. There are currently outstanding tax liens on the property which appear to be sales and use tax delinquencies. An inquiry should be made into whether the property tax amount was provided to the CRA as additional rent starting on 4/15/2013. However, once in default, Ms. Benoit will still be responsible for the additional rent provisions and property taxes until such time as the property is re -let. In deciding whether to take legal action against the tenant, there are a number of factors to consider, some legal and some practical. f=irst, while a money judgment for breach of the lease could be obtained, it should be remembered that the lease is not with Ms. Benoit as an individual, but with an LLC. If the LLC is a single purpose, single asset LLC (i.e., exists only to own and operate a restaurant), it is highly unlikely that the LLC itself has assets that would make it worthwhile to go through the cost of litigation. At the very least, an investigation into its financial condition would be advisable. In the end, while there is also a provision for obtaining a judgment against an LLC and then "piercing the corporate veil ", i.e., reaching beyond the company to the principal to recover, that is a difficult, expensive and rarely successful strategy because it requires a showing that the corporation was formed for an improper purpose. Second, given the fact that the restaurant business is, in and of itself, a risky business (note, for example, the number of restaurants, many of them national chains, which open and close regularly throughout the County including in such well- traveled venues as CityPlace in WPB and along the PGA corridor in PB Gardens), taking such aggressive action against a small restaurateur when things didn't work out could deter others from stepping forward to replace The Little House. Having said that, I believe there are a number of revisions we can make to the lease to put the CRA in a stronger legal position with any future tenants. With respect to finding a new tenant, there are three approaches the Board can take. One would be an assignment of the existing lease, either to Ms. Sisoian or another party. The lease specifically contemplates the CRA's right to so assign, but if this approach is adopted, I would suggest that it be subject to amendments to the existing lease agreement to address some of the issues I have raised above. 00384352 -2 A second approach would be to issue a new request for proposal for a new restaurant operator to enter into a new lease with the CRA. This has the advantage of broadly seeing who else is out there who may be interested and what new ideas or approaches might be suggested. The disadvantage of the RFP process is the delay. A third approach would be to utilize the 30 day notice provision found in Section 163.380(3)(a) of the Florida Statutes. 1 know that you are familiar with this approach which could be called a mini -RFP process in the present circumstances. This would most likely take less time than the RFP process, but might not reach as broad an audience of prospective responders. It is however, a required part of the process of leasing out property and would need to be adhered to even in the RFP process. I believe this addresses the major issues presented by Ms. Benoit's email notification regarding The Little House. If you have any questions, or need any further information, please let me know. 00384352 -Z 4 I BOYNT ON s "1 `�FS� r 1� [ 1 CRA BOARD MEETING 0F: September 9, 2014 1 Consent Agenda I I Old Business I I New Business Legal f X J Other SUB JECT: 2014 SunSational Award 1 Place Promotional Poster "Catch a Free Event" SUMMARY: The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) received a SUNsational award for 1" place in the $49,999 (budget) and under Promotional Poster category entitled Catch a Free Event.

Invocation and Pledge to the Flag Mr. Hay gave the invocation followed by the members reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. 3. Work Plan — FY 2014 -2015 Vivian Brooks, CRA Executive Director, distributed a handout of the Marina Master Plan from six years ago. She commented the Marina is the City's crown jewel and Boynton Beach was the only City to have such a large, varied marina in the downtown. The CRA was completing the final phase and would then embark on the Town Square. Mike Simon, Assistant Director, commented staff has been ambitious. Many plans were coming to fruition and many accomplishments had been achieved. The CRA budgeted $700,000 for the Marina Open Space Construction project for 2014/2015. In 2006, the CRA purchased 24 slips at the west end of the Marina. In 2007, they purchased the fuel dock. In 2008, the CRA approved the Marina Master Redevelopment Plan. The Harbor Master Building was almost finished and the open space portion of the Marina had been deferred to a later date. The budgeted amount would complete that portion, the traffic realignment from NE 6 1 to Casa Loma, and install a tropical landscaped area for the public and customers of Two Georges, shaded seating and the Marina tower. The plans were construction ready and Ms. Brooks commented only a small portion of the permit fees were paid. The full amount would be paid when the contractor was obtained. MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 Chair Taylor noted the Board had voted to move forward with the project. (Vice Chair Casello arrived at 6:20 p.m.) The NE 4th Street Enhancement and Parking Lot project had a budget of $211,617; however, only $75,000 was proposed to come from the 201412015 budget year. The balance was rollover funds from 2013/2014. These improvements would enhance the area for visitors and restaurant patrons and was land the Florida East Coast railway gave the City which has bollards around it. It was not for parking. The CRA would improve the area and would make improvements for on- street parking. The Dewey Park Stage and Lighting Enhancement project had a proposed budget of $25,000. Mr. Simon explained this was a great feature to attract people to the eastern portion of the downtown. It is dark at night and artistic lanterns were added to the trees, but more were needed. A small stage was proposed for future park activities. Mr. Fitzpatrick inquired about the nearby dumpster and Mr. Simon responded the dumpster was on City property and Public Works would fence it in. The proposed budget for the North Federal Highway /FEC Corridor landscaping improvements was $132,775. Staff wanted to enhance this corridor by replacing dead plant materials from the edge of the CRA boundary near the Peninsula project. Acquisition of key parcels for Ocean Avenue and the Heart of Boynton was reviewed. The proposed budget was $882,024 and an image of the updated Heart of Boynton Plan for the Cottage District was viewed. The CRA had additional property on NE 4th and 5 th Avenues to the north and east and Seacrest Boulevard to the west. The Cottage District would be a focus. The CRA had approved funds in the 2013/2014 budget for lighting on Ocean Avenue from Seacrest to Dewey Park. There are dark spots along the Avenue which staff would address by adding up /in- lighting, twinkle lights and additional light poles on the western end. It would create a holiday feeling. The proposed photometric plan was included in the meeting materials. The total amount to be budgeted was $200,000. Combined with rollover funds from last year, the total amount was anticipated to be $256,393. Ms. Brooks explained the Arts District was seeking a formal designation from the City and the CRA was carrying over the funds from last year for a sign, if the District was approved. The funds would not be released until approved. It was noted that area had experienced some flooding, which Ms. Brooks believed was being addressed. Chair Taylor commented the Utility Department indicated the system was designed to handle the flooding, but did not and Mr. McCray commented he would look into the matter. Ms. Brooks advised the recommendation for the Town Square Project was $500,000. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council would issue a formal report on the area and there were preliminary steps that can be undertaken to develop the RFP. They would also submit plans to the CRA without the Old High School and some pro -forma 2 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 costs. She anticipated the plans would return to the Board in about two months and the uses from other nearby buildings that would no longer be there would have to be accommodated on the site where the Old High School is presently located. Mr. McCray pointed out he was present when the Strategic Plan was developed prior to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council plan and the items discussed then were not included in what they presented. He requested the Planning Council incorporate those uses. Ms. Brooks explained the direction given to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council was to offset the cost of a new City Hall and Police Station by using the current City Hall site and the prior plan did not include those items. Mr. Hay inquired if there would be another community meeting. Ms. Brooks explained what the Planning Council provided was based on community input. Mr. Merker expressed concern if the CRA lost the lawsuit regarding development of the Old High School and Ms. Brook clarified Attorney Cherof had previously indicated there was nothing to preclude the Board from planning to construct something at that site. Mr. Hay pointed out the Planning Council should incorporate the citizen's comments and the CRA would vote on it. Mr. Buchanan also inquired if the Planning Council took into account what was discussed and voted on by the City Commission to move City Hall and the Police Station. Ms. Brooks replied the plan presented was the direct result of the Strategic Plan and decisions made by the CRA Board and the City Commission to move City Hall and the Police Station. The area would be the western anchor for the downtown and would be a catalyst for development. There was no funding for the Ocean Breeze East development because it will be constructed by a private developer. Ms. Brooks commented the CRA already issued an RFP for the project. The proposed budget for Plan Updates for the Federal Highway Corridor, Ocean Avenue, Downtown Master Plan and Boynton Beach Boulevard was $160,000. Staff sought to consolidate the plans into one for easy reading for the development community. This would be done in concert with City and CRA staff and an outside consultant. The Sara Sims Park Playground equipment had a proposed budget of $25,000. The City had allocated $75,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding, but did not have enough funds for rubber mulch. Ms. Brooks set aside the funds so youth at the playground would not be hurt if they fell. The Woman's Club Renovation had a proposed budget of $50,000. The building was one of two properties on the National Historic Register. The Woman's Club was applying for a grant to cover severe damage to the windows and doors. The grant was for $100,000 and required a 50% match. Ms. Brooks emphasized the importance of the property, which is located on Federal Highway. She did not want to lose another historic property, 3 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 The Woman's Club had a five -year capital campaign to raise $500,000 to repair the entire building, including floors, doors and improvements to meet the Americans With Disabilities requirements, and more. Chair Taylor agreed on the significance of the building and commended the Woman's Club for trying to fundraise on their own. Ms. Brooks responded the CRA provided a small Fagade Grant and the Woman's Club was repairing a few windows. Mr. McCray favored the request and inquired when the Woman's Club would find out if the grant was approved. Barbara Wineberg, Treasurer, Boynton Woman's Club and Co -Chair of the Historic Preservation Committee, confirmed they were trying to spearhead a five -year plan to restore the building to its full potential. She explained work on the windows was ongoing, but it was an expensive undertaking. The grant would allow them to finish the project and make the building structurally sound as the building has over 20 doors and 16 wood -frame windows, most dating back to 1925 when the building was constructed. The roof was replaced in 2008. In the five -year plan, they sought to incorporate a maintenance fund and Ms. Wineberg anticipated it would be another 100 years before they would request more funds. Plan B was to continue with the fundraising initiative and continue to repair as many windows and doors as possible with the funds they raised. If the grant was awarded, they could start the project in July 2015. Vice Chair Casello inquired if the CRA could match funds up to $50,000 if they did not get the grant. Ms. Brooks explained it could be accomplished via motion. Staff could keep the money in the budget, and if they do not obtain the grant, the money was still there. Mr. Fitzpatrick expressed concern this would be a recurring expense. He did not object to the request, but was concerned there may not be funds each year to subsidize the repairs. Ms. Wineberg explained that was why there was a five -year plan and the repairs were an urgent need. The CRA would not be a funding source. Mr. Merker understood if all went well and they had the funds, the main repairs would be addressed and they could make repairs as needed thereafter. The proposed budget for the Business Incubator Support was $20,000. Ms. Brooks explained the Community Caring Center requested $100,000. They operate the Secret Garden Caf6 which is a restaurant incubator, but the CRA has not really worked with them and thought they should fund a smaller amount, review the quarterly reports and see how it goes. She also recommended making the grant a reimbursable grant. Mr. McCray inquired if the incubator does well, whether they could request more funds and Ms. Brook replied it was up to the Board. The incubator was for individuals who want to learn the restaurant trade. It has a commercial kitchen, helps food trucks, caterers and it teaches users about licensing, business plans and how to operate a restaurant. Mr. Merker explained they also use the restaurant to feed the poor and the theme and purpose was meaningful. The restaurant was not open regular hours. It is operated by the Community Caring Center which the City funds through Community Redevelopment Block Grant funds. They had 4 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 20 14 received $65,000. It was the economic development component of the Community Caring Center. The budget proposed for the design of Boynton Beach Boulevard was $226,610; however, Ms. Brooks explained the funds were rolled over from last year. This was a project that would remain visible and funds for it should remain in the line item. The project was funded last year for $365,000 and not all the funds were spent. The $226,610 was enough to get the project started. Mr. Merker noted the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council recommended narrowing the street which would include widening the sidewalk and increasing the landscaped area. Staff also sought to install the power lines underground. Mr. Hay inquired if staff spoke to the owner of the property on the northeast corner of Boynton Beach and Seacrest Boulevards. Ms. Brooks responded they had and the owner was not interested in selling. If she was being held to a percentage over appraised value, the CRA could not acquire the property. Ms. Brooks explained the 211 Renovation Grant was proposed for $200,000. She considered having the developer of the Cottage District move the home there to save it, but rethought the matter and decided to leave the home at the location. It is an old home and she proposed to do some maintenance work on it and additional work during the period they connect Town Square. They could attract an active user. It was not likely the investor would make the upgrades given the current situation, so staff would. Ms. Brooks saw the building having a five -year use, and they needed to activate the space. She suggested issuing a RFP and thought the budget would be adequate to make the home structurally sound, including landscaping. The land was valuable for a developer but it was important that home remain. After five years, if the Town Square flourished, there were two individuals who would combine the land and create a development and the house would be moved. Vice Chair Casello inquired why the CRA makes purchases, but does not maintain them. Ms. Brooks explained they maintain the yard and painted the house. It was actively marketed in alternative lifestyle, high -end, expensive magazines. Ms. Brooks explained the proposal was to rent the building, but not collect rent in order to avoid a tax liability to the Agency. All that would be required is to cover the liability insurance. Staff sought to make the improvements so the home could be rented. This would include a handicapped restroom and ramp. Mr. Merker and Vice Chair Casello thought if the purpose was to develop the area, and the property would be moved, it was a waste of money. Vice Chair Casello suggested using the home as a CRA office and subleasing the current office. The members further discussed it was important to create activity on the Avenue. The parking lot and walkway was being installed and they were adding street lighting. The home, when used, would act as a catalyst for development and give a feel to the Avenue. Ms. Brooks did not want to demolish the building and recognized an infusion of money was needed to create activity. 5 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 Mr. Fitzpatrick commented every art gallery he has seen did not have anyone in it and he did not understand how art galleries generate traffic. Ms. Brooks explained the building could be for any use and currently, art bars were popular. Mr. McCray explained the current CRA office was in the Heart of Boynton. He suggested leaving the funds in the budget and addressing the use at a later time or in a workshop. Chair Taylor agreed with Mr. Fitzpatrick and pointed out $200,000 was a lot of money, but the City paid that kind of money to eliminate crack houses. He favored leaving the funds in the budget. Ms. Brooks explained it would be expensive to create an office to Code. Staff was not proposing to add any square footage, only address the air conditioning and restroom. The Economic Development Grants were a continuation from last year. This encompassed the Commercial Facade Rent Reimbursement, Commercial Interior Build - Out Assistance, Commercial Rent Reimbursement, and Commercial Construction Project Incentive Programs. The budget proposed was $150,000. The Marketing Budget Work Plan had a proposed budget of $120,000. Vice Chair Casello suggested when giving grants to developers for apartments or homes, they work a deal with the golf course to help promote it. Individuals could receive a discount. Special Events had a proposed budget of $321,000 and the CRA was adding 11 new events, some of which were St. Patrick's Day, Earth Day, and Ocean Avenue Eats events. It was noted the CRA no longer handles the Fourth of July festivities. Ms. Brooks commented the St. Patrick's Day event would actually be held the day before as many people go to Delray Beach for St. Patrick's Day. 4. FY 2014 -2015 Budget Overview Susan Harris, Finance Director, reviewed the Summary of Assessed Property Values & Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Revenues and explained the chart shows the values from 1989 to present. This year the assessed property values were at $1 billion. There were three geographic expansions of the CRA which added to the assessed values and TIF revenue. The TIF estimates are based on the CRA property values, less the base year value, and were contingent on the City and County millage rates. Ms. Harris anticipated receiving $3.1 million from the County and $5.2 million from the City. She backs funds out because when the tax rolls are certified, the values decrease and the certified difference must be returned to the City and County. The TIF revenue this year increased 15% from last year. Due to the Marina and General Fund, the CRA revenue for 2014/2015 would be $9.1 million. The funding available for projects reflected the debt service, operating, Marina expenses, and other payments that must be made. In the new budget year, the CRA would have $2.7 million for new projects. 6 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 A detailed Project Fund Revenue and Potential Projects chart was reviewed. There were project rollovers and multi -year projects for which funds had to be carried over to complete. The Marina Open Space project did not have rollover funds, so the $700,000 would come from the $2.7 million allotted for New Project revenues. There was $175,000 in rollover funds from the Old High School demolition that did not occur. As part of the Town Square project line item, the recommendation was to reallocate those funds and add $325,000 for a total project budget of $500,000. The Plan Update project budget encompassed new projects, plan updates for the Federal Highway Corridor and Downtown Master Plan. Ms. Harris explained the 211 Renovation project had $186,000 in rollover funds and more would be added to it for a total of $200,000. The North Federal Highway /FEC Corridor had $50,000 in rollover funds and $82,775 would be added for a total of $132,775. The Planning and Community Workshop had $30,000 and would cover all the community, Town Square, and public charettes. Mr. Buchanan inquired if there was a plan for developers to follow along the North Federal Highway /FEC Corridor and Ms. Brooks responded there was. Ms. Harris explained the budget for the Business Incubator was $20,000 and the Woman's Club had $25,000 in roll -over funds and $25,000 would be added totaling the $50,000. Ms. Harris explained the $882,024 for acquisition of new parcels on Ocean Avenue and the Heart of Boynton was comprised entirely from rollover funds. Funding for Phase II of the Marina was also from $326,000 in rollover funds and would address the Harbor Master Building when completed. The Economic Development Grants budget was $300,000 this year and included $150,000 in rollover funds. Site Work and Demolition was budgeted for $100,000 which was a standard operating expense. The Contingency line item had a proposed budget of $75,000 in case projects ran over budget. The entry signage at North and South Federal Highway had a proposed budget of $165,850 of which $65,850 were rollover funds. Staff recommended a budget of $150,000 for Legal work on projects. The Tree Lighting line item had a proposed budget of $256,393 of which $56,393 were rollover funds. The Wayfinding sign for the Arts District had a proposed budget of $25,000, all of which were rollover funds. Design and Engineering was proposed for $75,000 and Surveys and Appraisals were proposed for $50,000. The proposed budget used all of the new revenue available for new projects. Vice Chair Casello inquired about the parking on NE 4 th Street and did not see a need for so much parking. Mr. Simon explained they have an event once a month, and events like the Pirate Event. The area was an entrance to the downtown and it languished. The lot would be resurfaced and greened. There was lots of traffic due to Hurricane Alley and the locksmith nearby. The project was as much for parking as it 7 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 was for beautification. There were no plans for the commuter rail train station by The Little House Restaurant at this time. The Capital Improvement Plan was reviewed showing the expenditures year -to -date, balance rollovers, and staff recommendations for next year's budget. It was noted the Food Truck Invasion would not be shut down due to the City's regulations. 5. Review of General Fund, Project Fund Debt Service A General Fund Balance Analysis reflected how staff allocates the unassigned general funds. Ms. Harris did not anticipate there would be any unassigned funds this year and would have to wait until the audit was done in January. If there were any unassigned funds, the Board would make a recommendation how to allocate them. An organizational chart was reviewed. Ms. Brooks was proposing less staff. The administrative assistant and development director were vacant and unfunded positions. Ms. Brooks clarified there were staff title changes. The Finance Assistant was changed to Finance Specialist. The Development Services Specialist was formerly the Administrative Services Manager and the title change was to reflect the duties they perform. The Marketing and Business Development Specialist was formerly a Business Development Specialist, and the Special Events Coordinator was formerly a Special Events Director. The Agency was Director heavy. The full -time position Marketing, Event and Business Special Assistant was made part time and she reviewed the salary classifications. All the employees were at the mid -point except the Special Events Coordinator who would increase from $40,000 to $55,000 because she was performing the duties of the Special Events Director position. Ms. Biscuiti's salary was $70,000 and that position would revert to the mid -point of $55,000. More details on the salaries, positions, taxes, and benefits were reviewed. The CRA employees were under the City's benefit and retirement benefits. The part-time position had no benefits. A three percent merit pool was added and personnel costs as a percent of the General Fund, was at nine percent, was very low and was the same as last year. The CRA has two retirement programs: one was an employer match of five percent of the employee's salary, and the second was non - contributory of 15 %. Chair Taylor commented the City Manager decided how much each employee received. The City had performance management reviews which went by the wayside. Lori LaVerriere, City Manager, explained City employees had not received performance evaluations for the last six or seven years. They are common, but the City cannot afford them. The three percent the employees received was a cost of living increase. The General Fund Summary Sheet showed there was $9.1 million in revenue. The TIF increased 15% so overall, revenues increased three percent. The administrative departmental expenses increased two percent. Some special event items were moved to department level administrative costs so that line item had a two percent increase. Other items the Agency had to pay included insurance, professional services, building MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 and grounds, Marina operations, Information Technology and Contingencies which increased five percent. The insurance rates increased because the Agency had to pay insurance on the new Marina buildings, and the parking lot. Professional Liability increased $10,000 for a document management system. There was $10,000 for a leased vehicle to be used to move special event equipment because it was damaging the CRA employees' cars. A magnetic sign would be used and the vehicle would be a mini -van type vehicle. Overall, the General Fund had a 4% increase. Ms. Harris explained the Board's operating expenses increased and there was an increase of $600 for cell phones for the non - Commission Board members. The Executive Department had an increase of $31,000, or 12% mainly due to the potential merit and retirement increases. The part -time position was shared by Ms. Brook's department, Marketing and Special Events. Mr. McCray inquired if there were enough funds to cover seminars. Ms. Harris explained the line item was increased by $320 and about $8,300 was budgeted last year. The Finance Department had an increase of $22,000 or a 10% increase. The Planning budget was reduced $8,600 due to community meetings being moved into the project fund. The Marketing and Business Development Department decreased $11,651. Special Events was reduced by $16,967, the insurance budget increased by $9,800 or 8 %. Professional Services increased by $10,000 or 5 %. Buildings and Grounds increased by $77,673 or 20 %, the Marina budget was flat, and Information Technology increased by $1,610 or 3 %. It was noted the Agency saved money by using the City's ITS Department. The Contingency Account, based on last year, remained unchanged. Ms. Harris has to track rollover funds each year and the total project fund was $6.2 million and she reviewed the operating expenses for the project fund. Mr. Hay inquired why there was an increase in legal services. Ms. Harris explained she recommended increasing the budget because they had to pull extra money from other sources. They pay $40,000 for counsel to attend the CRA meetings. They review projects and the bulk was billed at an hourly rate of $225, sometimes less, depending on who was working on the project. Mr. Merker thought it could be less. Staff commented human resource issues were labor intensive and Counsel had also reviewed the West litigation, property purchases, and there are projects that require their review. The Capital Outlay budget reflected a rollover of $182,000 and Ms. Harris reviewed the projects. The Economic Development programs had $150,000 in rollover funds comprising the total budget. The marketing incentive program had a 19% increase and the Direct Incentive Funding Agreement increased by 26 %. The Project and Programs total budget was $421,000, having an increase of 24 %. It was noted the Heritage Trail Creation and Online Map was completed. 9 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 7, 2014 Vice Chair Casello inquired when the CRA would sunset. Attorney Duhey was reviewing that information. The statutory language was not clear and she would have it for the next meeting. The Debt Service Fund did not increase. The Aggregate Debt Service for the remaining bond and loan payments was $2.3 million and would be paid down by 2025/2026. M otion Mr. Hay moved to approve the budget. Mr. McCray seconded the motion that unanimously passed. The Board commended staff on an excellent job. 6.

Information Only A. Public Comment Log B. CRA Development Project Update: Boynton Harbor Marina Harbor Master Building Project 3 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 Chair Taylor noted there was a complaint about the trash and the pier at Marina Village. Ms. Brooks explained much of that is maintained by the City. Most of the issue was a lack of maintenance such as replacing dead plants and exposed irrigation and Chair Taylor agreed to follow up with the City. Chair Taylor also noted there were complaints about hoses and fish blood. Ms. Brooks explained that type of complaint would occur, but the Marina manager stays on top of it. She suggested the Marina Manager may not have seen it at that time because she and Mr. Simon do not see that occurring on a regular basis. The CRA pays the Marina Manager and two staff members to maintain the premises and they alerted him to the concern. The pictures shown were of the SeaMist which was on private property. When the complaint was received, Mr. Simon sent it to Public Works with a copy to the City Manager. The only CRA item they had to address was the banner which they replaced. C. CRA Development Project update: Parking Lot Project on NE 1 st Avenue and NE 1 st Street and a Sidewalk Connector located at 208 NE 1' Avenue Vice Chair Casello commented it appeared progress had stopped on the parking lot and there was a pile of debris in the middle which was unacceptable. Ms. Brooks contacted the contractor asking about the debris and was told they were waiting for a full load. She informed the vendor it was not acceptable. Otherwise, the project was progressing. Irrigation and electric for the light poles had been installed. Construction of the lot appears to proceed on a slower basis because there are items installed underground which were not visible. Mr. Simon reminded the contractor the lot was at the front of City Hall and was a well-traveled area. The contractor should haul the trash as it accumulates. He noted the City generally requires a dumpster since the material was site debris. Mr. McCray requested the next time a gap in progress occurred, staff notify the Board. I. Public Comments Annette Gray, former CRA Consultant, advised she developed a series of community programs and she was back in the community with a global family of businesses. She expressed the business incubator was not in the CRA district due to the space constraints. She was developing a mobile entrepreneurship training bus she could take to community schools and churches. She wanted to alert the Board to this new resource and she was looking forward to working with staff and the Board. Ms. Gray explained the CRA did not have retail space in the size and depth she needed. Mr. McCray explained he hoped that could be resolved soon as he took offense. She responded she did not intend to offend. Chair Taylor closed public comments. 4 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 II. Public Hearing None. III. Old Business: A. Report by Lyman Reynolds on the Status of the Lisa Bright vs. CRA Case Attorney Spillias explained he spoke with Lyman Reynolds and Ms. Bright's case against the CRA was dismissed on Summary Judgment. She appealed and was denied. Ms. Bright obtained new counsel and filed a motion with the trial judge to enter a final judgment on the basis the judge's summary judgment order was not a final judgment. Ms. Bright did not appeal that decision and the time for appeal passed so the case against the CRA was over and dismissed with finality. There was a request of Mr. Reynolds to disclose the attorney - client sessions on the basis the case was over, but the judge denied the request due to Ms. Bright's lawsuit against the City and Mr. Rodriguez on related issues. There is case law that in these situations, the records of the closed- sessions are sealed until that litigation was over. B. Consideration of Action on the RFP /RFQ for Ocean Breeze East Site Attorney Spillias explained this matter had been brought to him after Ms. Brooks was asked, under the RFP rules, whether Board members could speak to RFP Respondents and one already had. He reviewed the RFP and there was a provision for a cone of silence up to a certain point in time. Proposers could not make contact with Board members or staff, except as specifically detailed in the RFP. He understood how the language could be viewed as precluding contact only up to the point the proposals were submitted to the Board, and a layman's reading would not be unreasonable. He clarified the reason for the cone of silence after proposals were submitted was to prevent contact with decision makers for varying reasons. Decision makers should rely on the documentation, the recommendation of the review committee and the presentations that were made. Some Board's want cones of silence and some do not. Attorney Spillias' initial interpretation was the language appeared to be a traditional cone of silence that was poorly written. He asked if there was a Board policy regarding the issue and Ms. Brooks provided him with minutes from 2011. At that time, the Mayor was seeking to remove the cone of silence because he wanted to talk one -on -one with the presenters before the presentation and the motion was to maintain the cone of silence. Due to the history provided, it was likely intended to be a traditional cone of silence, but the language in the RFP could leave one to believe it was not. To minimize the risk of litigation and ensure the proposals moved forward, the Board could disqualify the one proposer for violating the cone of silence, reject all the 5 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 proposals and reissue the RFP, or decide at the meeting or the next meeting the cone of silence would not be in effect for the process as they moved forward and let other proposers meet with the Board members on this project. Attorney Spillias advised the safest option was to reject the RFP, but it was defensible to allow contact with other proposer as well. He received a letter from Brian Hinners, CEO of Florida Affordable Housing Inc., a representative of one of the respondents, who had not spoken to the Board. His group wanted to move forward and he waived any protest they may have of a possible violation of this provision of the RFP. The letter would give the Board additional protection and more flexibility. They could now move forward without anyone claiming foul. Attorney Spillias suggested Mr. Hinners and another representative from the organization confirm what was in the letter. If the Board hears from each proposer, there should be no conversation about the substance of the proposal at this meeting because it was not on the agenda for this purpose. The purpose was how to proceed procedurally. He advised if moving forward, the Board proceed under the criteria he detailed. Mack Bernard, Florida Affordable Housing, 777 E. Atlantic Avenue, Unit 200, Delray Beach confirmed they did submit the letter yesterday and did not have a problem moving forward. He suggested they keep the process going and that since there were only two responses, they did not need a ranking committee. Both proposers should present to the CRA Board so they could make a decision. He proposed to hold a special meeting within two weeks because timing was important. There were deadlines for the H.O.M.E. and S.A.I.L. funds, which they would use for the project. They did not communicate with anyone, and did not want to be penalized for missing the deadlines for their project. Michael Pecar, Neighborhood Renaissance, 510 24th Street, West Palm Beach, was amenable to having a special meeting in two weeks. Mr. Merker asked if they could have a meeting to not have a cone of silence, and Chair Taylor responded this could be discussed at another meeting. Mr. McCray asked if there would be problems with the Inspector General, and Attorney Spillias explained the Inspector General would advocate it was better to have the cone of silence in this process, but it was not an ethics or legal issue. It was a policy issue. The RFP gives the right to waive some criteria. This may not be a non-substantial criterion, but in this circumstance, waiving it may be appropriate. The rules in the RFP were intended to ensure there was a level playing field and no unfair advantage was given. 6 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 Chair Taylor explained the Attorney General had advised the matter was not under their jurisdiction. They turned it over to the Ethics Committee and there has been no response. Mr. Merker asked if they could find out whom the person or company was that questioned the Inspector General. Attorney Spillias advised if the Inspector General did not find a wrong doing, no one would ever know. Mr. Merker inquired if the matter coincided with the Board of Ethics because they may not issue an open statement, but it would be in the records that could be retrieved. Attorney Spillias was unsure and at Mr. Merker's request, agreed to look into the matter. Mr. Hay explained Ocean Breeze East would be a big boost for the Heart of Boynton and he believed the cone of silence should only be used when necessary because he likes to speak to developers before he votes. He did understand the purpose of the cone of silence. He thought they were delaying the project over wording that did not exist in the RFP, and if they reissue the RFP, the same two developers would apply. He acknowledged one of the respondents indicated they would be negatively impacted if they had to start over. He saw it as an error on Ms. Brooks part as she did not emphasize it, an error on Attorney Spillias' part, and an error on the part of the members because they voted for it. The perception of the community was this was a way to delay a major project in the HOB. He favored the project proceeding as is and changes in wording should apply to next project. Chair Taylor announced he had intended to start over, but the letter alleviated that concern, and he was willing to move forward. Vice Chair Casello asked what the ramifications would be if the Inspector General's office decides the CRA broke their own rules. Attorney Spillias explained the Inspector General's office has no enforcement power. They would issue a report explaining what they viewed was not financially efficient and recommend what they think the Board should do in the future. Vice Chair Casello asked if there was anything in the RFP that Respondent's would have to submit if they were involved in a lawsuit or litigation, such as occurred with West Construction. Attorney Spillias explained different RFPs have different requirements and he did not think it applied to this RFP. Vice Chair Casello noted a newspaper article about Neighborhood Renaissance having legal issues with West Palm Beach and foreclosures and asked if that would preclude them from submitting a response. Attorney Spillias advised under the criteria in the RFP, it would not. Vice Chair Casello pointed out Attorney Spillias was directed to go through the RFPs to add language to avoid this situation and this was the second time there were problems with the RFP which was unacceptable. He blamed Ms. Brooks and Attorney Spillias for two errors and declared the Board could not keep stumbling over their own RFPs. The 7 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 RFPs must be crystal clear in their directions and he warned someone will have to answer the next time a problem occurred. Ms. Brooks accepted responsibility and commented since she read the language literally; she had not considered the purpose of the cone. There was no caption on that paragraph saying the cone of silence applied and she misdirected the Board. Attorney Spillias acknowledged he did not write the RFP, but did review it and he accepted responsibility. Chair Taylor pointed out the Board was supposed to be knowledgeable and they have new members. He suggested in the near future, they hold an educational seminar to advise members about the cone of silence and how it works. Mr. Merker noted Auburn Development had issues with owing Delray Beach money, not Neighborhood Renaissance and he had articles dated March 27 and April 1' indicating a mistake was made. He thought they should discuss whether the cone of silence was good or not because it was important. Vice Chair Casello agreed Mr. Merker was correct, but pointed out articles written in the Palm Beach Post indicated Neighborhood Renaissance in 2004 and 2005 did not pay back loans owed to West Palm Beach. Mr. Fitzpatrick wanted to see the cone of silence be the same as the City's. The City's policy permits discussion as long as they are a registered lobbyist. It did not matter which policy was used, or that they be the same. Also under disclosures, he pointed out citizen David Katz, called twice and they had short conversations. Mr. Katz seemed to speak in favor of Florida Affordable Housing. He did not agree with Mr. Bernard's request to drop the rankings, because staff uses their expertise when they rank the responses and they are aware of items the Board members may not know. He favored having a special meeting in two weeks. Attorney Spillias disclosed he received a voicemail from Mr. Katz indicating he had a question. He emailed him back informing him that when he represents a Board, he does not respond to residents without approval of the Board because it would be spending the CRA's money without their control and Mr. Katz understood. Mr. Buchanan was also called by Mr. Katz who was trying to present arguments for not issuing a new RFP and proceeding. He agreed with Mr. Fitzpatrick to continue with CRA and City staff analysis of the proposals. Although Florida Affordable Housing waived the penalty, he thought they still needed a level playing field and it should be made clear to both parties they are free to contact Board members. He supported having a special meeting. Mr. McCray favored keeping the analysis intact and moving forward. He also supported the harsh words spoken to Board Counsel and the Director, but acknowledged 8 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 everyone makes mistake. He did not want to meet with anyone else and wanted staff direction. Mr. Merker agreed with moving forward and inquired if Mr. Katz was a lobbyist or getting paid for his inquiries. He had not received a call from him and noted Mr. Katz does not live in District II. He thought it interesting Mr. Katz was so emphatic saying what he thinks. He thought Mr. Katz should also be careful with his inquires so he does not get in trouble. Chair Taylor advised there was consensus to move forward, maintain the committee ranking and have a special meeting in the next two weeks. After brief discussion, Tuesday, August 26 was selected. Ms. Brooks would check to find a meeting location and the Board could speak to both parties if they wanted. The applicants were in agreement with the provisions. Motion Vice Chair Casello motioned to move forward with the RFPs with the stipulations. Mr. McCray seconded the motion. Vice Chair Casello noted Ms. Brooks, at one time, was on the selection committee, but was no longer on it. She had left employment from Neighborhood Renaissance in 2005. The motion unanimously carried. The members further discussed dates for the meeting due to the 26 being a primary election. Monday August 18 was suggested. Mr. Buchanan would not be available and Mr. Merker was unsure. Meeting before the City Commission meeting at 5 p.m. was also suggested. Ms. Brooks advised she would provide the notice via email and backup via thumb drive. Hard copies would also be available. C. Presentation on Business Development Advertising Campaign Ms. Brooks announced a presentation had been prepared, but the equipment was not working. Motion Mr. McCray moved to table to the next meeting. Mr. Hay seconded the motion that unanimously passed. 9 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 1, 201 XIV. New Business A. Consideration of Safety Assessment Services Proposal and Contract for Ken Stapleton & Associates for Safety Assessment Service in the Amount of $19,000 — Tabled July 8, 2014 Motion Mr. McCray moved to remove from the table. Mr. Hay seconded the motion that unanimously passed. Ms. Brooks explained she was directed to obtain past reports from Mr. Stapleton. She emailed him and his response was he would not provide them. Motion Mr. Fitzpatrick moved to decline his offer. Mr. Merker seconded the motion that unanimously passed. B. Consideration of a Purchase Agreement between the CRA and Nathaniel Robinson for Property Located at 517 NE 'I' Street in the amount of $74,000 (purchase price) & $15,000 (relocation assistance) Ms. Brooks explained this property was a single-family home which was owner occupied. The owner, Reverend Robinson, was elderly and the home was in very poor condition. The back was starting to rot. Staff was allowing him to live in the home for another 90 days until he found another residence. The appraised amount was $65,000. Vice Chair Casello inquired if relocation expenses were new and Ms. Brooks explained they were not. They had used them for the Little House. He asked what the maximum amount of relocation assistance was and if the owner could relocate to California. Ms. Brooks explained the residents usually move locally. Staff researched the last time relocation assistance was used, and used that amount as the benchmark, Motion Mr. McCray moved to approve. Mr. Merker seconded the motion. Chair Taylor asked if staff knew where he would relocate. Ms. Brooks had suggested he use a realtor since he expressed he was having a hard time finding a home due to the cost. Chair Taylor explained staff was giving him $12,000 over value and $15,000 for the relocation. Ms. Brooks explained the home would soon advance to a tax sale. There are liens and that issue would be addressed leaving him with less money. Even in Leisureville, homes were expensive and he would not get much cash out of the deal. 10 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 Mr. McCray explained Reverend Robinson has been a member of the community for many years. The CRA was not really giving him something, but as a citizen was saying we wish you the best. He requested if the 90 days did not work, another extension be given. Ms. Brooks recognized the matter was a hardship and explained he would not be able to move himself. Mr. Buchanan did not want the property to go to a tax sale, and thought it would give rise to having another bad landlord. Vice Chair Casello wanted to change the relocation assistance to be up to $15K and have it be on a reimbursable basis. Mr. McCray thought the assistance should be handled consistently as was done with the Jones property as they set a precedent. Vice Chair Casello expressed the CRA cannot take every hardship case. Mr. Buchanan explained there is first, last and security to consider as well as fees for electric and water hookups. Additionally, if the recipient purchased a home, he would need a down payment. Ms. Brooks explained the Board could indicate up to what amount they would pay- Motion Vice Chair Casello moved to change the wording to indicate up to $15,000. The motion died for lack of a second. Chair Taylor called for a vote on the original motion. The motion passed 6 -1 (Vice Chair Casello dissenting.) V. Executive Director's Report A. New Businesses in CRA District Ms. Brooks explained due to switching some employees around, the report was not available. B. Property Acquisition Report None. C. Development Projects Update Ms. Brooks announced Casa DelMar submitted their plans. This project was on the north end of the CRA district next to the Peninsula. The packages for the Ocean Breeze East RFP were available and she requested the members pick them up before leaving. 1 MEETING MINUTES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FL AUGUST 12, 2014 Mr. Fitzpatrick explained he would like to direct staff to work on the cone of silence that the City used. He added he did not support Vice Chair Casello's motion regarding relocation assistance, and thought it could be reviewed, so it may allow up to $15,000 on future projects. There was agreement a policy would be made. XVI. Future Agenda Items: None XVII.

The attached Cone of Silence statement was obtained from the City's Director of Financial Services and it is used in all RFP and Bid documents. Additionally, the Palm Beach County lobbyist registration ordinance has a cone of silence (attached) which is applicable to the City but not the CRA since the CRA is not a local governing body. The CRA can choose to adopt them. FISCAL IMPACT: None CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: N/A RECOMMENDATIONS: Provide staff direction on adopting the attached Cone of Silence wording for all future CRA RFP, RFQ and Bid documents.

In accordance with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regulation, the CRA asks that all employees voluntarily self identify race and ethnicity to the extent necessary to ensure that the CRA is in full compliance with federal and state civil rights laws and regulations, and in turn protecting the rights of all employees from discrimination. If an employee declines to self - identify, employment records or observer identification may be used.

Successful completion of a probationary period does not conclude or alter the "at- will" relationship. 2 -6 DISQUALIFIED PERSONS: The CRA will consider Florida Statue 112.3135 in an effort to prevent hiring practices which result in conflicts of interest. 2-7 INTERVIEWING Upon receipt of resumes and/or applications, the HR Designee will review and rank them in order of most qualified to least qualified and present the list to CRA Executive Director for review. At the direction of the CRA Executive Director, references will be called and background checks performed for the top candidate(s).

All promotion or demotion appointments effected within the initial probationary period shall cause the employee to begin serving a new ninety (90) day initial probationary period. All promotional appointments occurring after the ninety (90) day initial probationary period has occurred shall be deemed as position probationary periods; employees not successfully completing this position probationary period shall be returned to their previous classification status without appeal benefits. If either initial or position probationary periods are extended, no wage or salary increases shall be affected during the extension periods. Awards granted after the extensions shall not be retroactive. A probationary employee who has not successfully passed the established initial probationary period in any classification may be terminated without notice or without cause by the CRA Executive Director.

Special evaluations may be conducted at any time with the approval of the CRA Executive Director. C. Performance Evaluation Rating Procedure The direct supervisor of the employee shall be responsible for obtaining the appropriate evaluation form and completing the evaluation. An employee must sign and date the completed evaluation form indicating that he /she has discussed and received a copy. The signature does not mean he/she agrees with the evaluation.

Page 14 of 90 3-4 HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT The CRA is committed to a professional work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity and is free of unlawful harassment and discrimination. Each individual has the right to work in an atmosphere that promotes equal opportunities and prohibits discriminatory practices including sexual and other forms of harassment. Prohibited are offensive behaviors based on race, religion, age disability, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, and other protected class status. A. Scope This policy applies to all applicants, staff members, vendors, consultants, and guests. Any employee who engages in such conduct or encourages such behavior by others shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. B. Definition Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when for example: (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual; (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment. C. Behaviors Sexual harassment may include a range of subtle and not so subtle behaviors and may involve individuals of the same or different gender. Depending on the circumstances these behaviors may include, but are not limited to: unwanted sexual advances; subtle or overt pressure for sexual favors; sexual jokes; innuendoes; advances or propositions; verbal abuse of a sexual nature; graphic commentary about an individual's body, sexual prowess or sexual deficiencies; leering, whistling, touching, pinching, assault, coerced sexual acts, or suggestive, insulting or obscene comments or gestures; display in the workplace of sexual suggestive objects or pictures; and other physical, verbal, or visual conduct of a sexual nature. D. R eporting n Incident of Harass Whether they are the victim, a witness or someone who receives information regarding harassment, it is the duty of all employees to report harassment to Page 15 of 90 their direct supervisor. Employees should also direct any questions concerning the CRA's harassment policy to their direct supervisor. If the Direct supervisor is involved in the complaint or report, or if the employee feels uncomfortable communicating their report or question to a direct supervisor, reports or questions should be immediately directed to the Executive Director, the CRA's Human Resources designee or members of the Board. E. Administrative Investigation Reported allegations of harassment will be investigated promptly. A written statement will be requested of the complainant. The investigation will be handled with sensitivity and confidentiality to the extent allowed by law and to the extent practical and appropriate under the circumstances. An employee found to have provided false or misleading information, or who does not fully cooperate with an investigation may be subject to disciplinary action. The CRA will provide an administrative response that will indicate corrective actions, if any, to the employee filing the complaint and to the individual(s) involved the harassment. F. The CRA will make every effort to ensure that individuals named in a harassment complaint or closely associated with employees involved in the complaint will not conduct the investigation. If necessary for completion of a fair investigation, the CRA may, at its discretion, engage a neutral third party to conduct investigations of harassment complaints. G. Retaliation Retaliation against an individual for reporting alleged harassment or assisting in providing information relevant to a claim of sexual harassment is a serious violation and will be treated with the same strict discipline, as would the harassment itself. Acts of retaliation should be reported immediately and will be promptly investigated. Training shall be conducted on a periodic basis to raise awareness of harassment issues and remedies of same. H. Disciplinary Action Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action as follows: 1. Findings of false or malicious statements intended to harm another individual shall result in immediate disciplinary action. Page 16 of 90 2. Failure to act upon gaining knowledge of violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action. 3. Failure to truthfully cooperate with an investigation of this nature may result in disciplinary action. I. "Unintentional' harassment This policy is not intended to interfere with or discourage friendship or social discourse among employees. However, employees must be sensitive to comments, acts or conduct that would likely be considered offensive by others. Even conduct that is not intended to constitute "harassment" may violate the terms of this policy. If an employee expresses concerns that the behavior of another employee may have violated this policy, all employees should respect those concerns. -5 WORKPLACE VIOLENCE POLICY The CRA provides a safe workplace for all employees and is committed to preventing workplace violence. To ensure a safe workplace and to reduce the risk of violence, all employees should review and understand all provisions of this workplace violence policy. Based on its commitment to preventing workplace violence, the CRA has adopted the following guidelines to deal with intimidation, harassment, or other threats of (or actual) violence that may occur and all provisions of this workplace violence policy. A. co e All full -time and part-time, active employees are covered under this policy. B. Prohibited Conduct and Behavior We do not tolerate any type of workplace violence committed by or against employees. Employees are prohibited from making threats or engaging in violent activities. This list of behaviors, while not inclusive are prohibited: • Causing physical injury to another person; • Making threatening remarks; • Aggressive or hostile behavior that creates a reasonable fear of injury to another person or subjects another individual to emotional distress; Page 17 of 90 Intentionally damaging employer property or property of another employee; �usin ess; Possession of a weapon while on CRA property or while on CRA ;ome stic Committing acts motivated by, or related to, sexual harassment or violence. C. Reporting o f Incidents All threats or actual violence, both direct and indirect, should be reported as soon as possible to your immediate supervisor or member of management. This includes threats by employees, as well as threats by customers, vendors, solicitors, or other members of the public. All suspicious individuals or activities should also be reported as soon as possible to a supervisor. Do not place yourself in peril. If you see or hear a commotion or disturbance, do not try to intercede or see what is happening. There are often warning signs of violence in the workplace. Please review the following list of warning signs, keeping in mind that demonstration by an individual of one or more of the actions below does not necessarily indicate violence. • Increase in use of alcohol or any use of drugs. • History of violent or aggressive behavior. • Displays of a loss of control, (e.g., frequent loss of temper for unsubstantiated reasons, or over minor issues). • Making any threats (serious, joking or veiled). • Intimidating others by any means. • Expressing a strong desire for a personal or romantic relationship with a co- worker who does not reciprocate. • Expressing a consistent and strong feeling of being "disrespected ". Harboring resentment for criticism. • Expressing desperation, frustration or depression over recent professional, personal or financial problems. • Fascination with other recent incidents of violence and approval of the use of violence. • Disregard for personal safety. • Demonstrating a lack of conscience by cruelty towards others or animals. • Vandalism. Page 18 of 90 • Failure to acknowledge the rights or feelings of others. • Having been bullied or a victim of violence by others. Any potentially dangerous situations must also be reported immediately to a supervisor, the HR designee or Executive Director. Reports can be made anonymously and all reported incidents will be investigated. When reporting a threat of violence or violent act, the employee should be as specific and detailed as possible. Reports or incidents warranting confidentiality will be handled appropriately and information will be disclosed to others only on a need -to -know basis. All parties involved in a situation will be counseled and the results of investigations will be discussed with them. The CRA will actively intervene at any indication of a possibly hostile or violent situation. Any employee who obtains a restraining order against any person must immediately notify their direct supervisor. The CRA is committed to providing a safe workplace for all employees and can only do so if it receives information concerning individuals who are required to maintain a distance from CRA property and/or employees. D. Procedures All employees should be treated with courtesy and respect at all times. Employees are expected to refrain from fighting, "horseplay," or other conduct that may be dangerous to others. Firearms, weapons, and other dangerous or hazardous devices or substances are prohibited on the work premises of the CRA without proper authorization. Violence or the threat of violence that intimidates, or coerces an employee or a member of the public will not be tolerated. This prohibition includes all acts of harassment, including harassment that is based on an individual's sex, race, age, or any characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. If you witness a violent situation or are dealing with a threatening or violent person do not place yourself in danger or try to intercede. The following actions have proven to be effective: Remain calm. Keep a distance of at least 6 feet if possible. Do not touch the threatening or violent individual. Maintain eye contact, without "staring them down Actively listen and respond to the individual. Page 19 of 90 If a supervisor or other appropriate authority can be safely notified of the situation without endangering others, do so. I nvestigation The CRA will promptly and thoroughly investigate all reports of threats or actual violence as well as suspicious individuals or activities. The identity of the CRA individual making a report will be protected as much as is practical. In order to maintain workplace safety and the integrity of its investigation, the CRA will suspend employees, either with or without pay depending on the investigation and circumstances. F. Disciplinary Action Anyone who it is determined to be responsible for threats or actual violence or other conduct that is in violation of these guidelines will be subject to prompt disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. The CRA encourages employees to bring disputes or differences with other employees or others to the attention of their supervisors, the HR designee or Executive Director before the situation escalates. The CRA is committed to assist in the resolution of disputes. 3-6 FORMAL It is the policy of the CRA to anticipate and avoid occurrences of formal grievances and to deal promptly with formal grievances that may arise. Employees who believe they have suffered wrongdoing by another employee or supervisor should not confront any individual by whom they believe they have been wronged. Any grievance against another employee or supervisor must be submitted in writing pursuant to this policy. All formal grievances must be in writing and must include the nature of the grievance and all the facts supporting the grievance. This written document must be submitted to the employee's direct supervisor, unless the supervisor is the party named in the grievance or closely associated with the party named in the grievance. If the employee is not comfortable reporting to a supervisor, the employee may file a grievance with an HR designee or Executive Director. The primary purpose of this grievance procedure is to determine what is right, not who is right. Free discussion between employees and the HR Designee will lead to better understanding of practices, policies and procedures, which affect employees. Discussion will serve to identify and help eliminate conditions, which may cause misunderstandings prior to the filing of written formal grievances. The CRA Executive Director shall establish rules for the processing of formal grievances. Rules may be amended from time to time, but should have as their objective the prompt and efficient disposition of a formal grievance. Formal Page 20 of 90 grievances are to be initiated by employee within ten (10) working days of the event giving rise to the grievance or the grievance is waived. Once initiated the time sequence for review and response to the employee should not exceed twenty (20) working days. Decisions by the HR Designee can be appealed to the CRA Executive Director. In the event the grievance involves the CRA Executive Director, the employee can request the decision be appealed to the CRA Board Designee. The decision of the CRA Executive Director or CRA Board Designee regarding the disposition of the grievance is binding and not subject to further review or consideration. -7 PERSONNEL ACTI A. Promotion Upon promotion, an employee shall receive an increase to the minimum pay rate of the new position, or up to 10 %, whichever is higher. In no case shall the new salary exceed the maximum pay established for the position. Promoted employees shall serve a ninety (90) day position probationary period and may be demoted without notice and without cause during the position probationary period. B. Demotion Upon demotion, an employee shall receive a decrease in pay of a minimum of 5 %, or up to 10% if previously promoted to the higher level classification and awarded that amount for the promotion action, or greater if a higher amount of decrease is necessary in order not to exceed the maximum rate of pay for the lower level position. In no case shall the new lower pay rate exceed the maximum of the pay range established for the lower level position. There may be circumstances which result in demotion that are not due to the employee's job performance, conduct, and/or disciplinary actions. These include, but are not limited to, organization restructuring and decrease in operating revenues. Such demotion shall not be punitive and pay adjustments will be determined by the CRA Executive Director. The Executive Director may choose to make the employee's pay at the lower level position no greater than the maximum established for the position; however, the Executive Director may also set the pay level to exceed the maximum for the position in special circumstances. C. Demotion Approvals and Appeal All demotions and resulting adjustments in an employee's pay rate shall receive the prior review and approval of the CRA Executive Director. Demoted Page 21 of 90 employees not serving within an established probationary period may appeal the demotion action in writing within two (2) working days of written notification of the demotion. The CRA Executive Director shall schedule an appeals meeting within ten working (10) working days of receipt of the employee appeal. The written appeal must state the reason for the appeal and all facts supporting the appeal. The CRA Executive Director shall preside over the appeals meeting and render a decision within twenty (20) working days of the appeals meeting. The demotion action shall be effective regardless of any appeal request. The demotion may then be overturned by the CRA Executive Director when a decision has been made. The decision of the CRA Executive Director is binding and not subject to further review or consideration. 3.8 CODE OF CONDUCT & DISCIPLINARY I I A. Purpose The CRA anticipates that its employees will conduct themselves appropriately, both on and off the job. As a service entity, we must treat our customers in a courteous and respectful manner at all times and our conduct must be consistent with the CRA's goals and objectives. We recognize, however, that there will be instances when employees may act in a manner that is not consistent with the CRA's goals and objectives and the CRA Board's expectations. To address these situations, a disciplinary process has been developed to enable the CRA Executive Director to resolve issues related to unacceptable performance and misconduct. The CRA's goals in establishing such a process are both to ensure that employees understand the potential consequences of inappropriate behavior and to assist them in recognizing the severity of such consequences, with the hope that disciplinary sanctions, if required, will encourage the individual to personally resolve whatever concerns exist with respect to either inadequate performance or personal misconduct. All employees of the CRA have a duty to promptly report actual or suspected occurrences of illegal or unethical behavior or workplace wrongdoing by other employees or supervisors; and may do so without fear of retaliation or retribution. The CRA prohibits retaliation against any employee because of the employee's good faith reporting of such activities. Any CRA employee, regardless of title or position, who engages in such prohibited retaliation is subject to disciplinary action, including termination. B. Provisions 1. Conduct unbecoming of a CRA employee is defined as employee behavior or actions, on the part of the employee, which hinders or Page 22 of 90 jeopardizes the successful operation of the CRA, undermines teamwork and cooperation among CRA employees, or undermines the public confidence in the CRA or its employees. 2. Counseling and written reprimands should be utilized as an element to motivate employees to choose behavior conducive to an individual's growth, development and most importantly, to insure the successful operation of the CRA and its services. However, in certain circumstances, punitive discipline actions will be necessary. There is no "fixed formula" for discipline. Management reserves the right and prerogative to make disciplinary decisions based on repeated occurrences of varying incidents, past performance, or severity of the incident. 3. Although progressive disciplinary actions are encouraged when circumstances support such use, the severity of misconduct and the circumstances shall determine the nature of the discipline. 4. A number of factors should be considered in determining the appropriate level of discipline to be taken at each successive step. Such factors may include time intervals between offenses, effectiveness of prior disciplinary actions, insubordination, employee willingness to improve, overall work performance and teamwork. 5. Certain misconduct is so contrary to the public interest that dismissal shall be the only appropriate disciplinary measure. 6. The level of misconduct may differ in individual cases from apparently similar incidents. The CRA retains the right to treat each occurrence on an individual basis without creating a precedent for situations which may arise in the future. This case -by -case method is designed to take individual circumstances and/or mitigating factors into account. These provisions are not to be construed as a limitation upon the retained rights of the CRA, but are to be used as a guide. 7. The failure of immediate supervisors to document and /or take disciplinary actions for misconduct, or the failure to forward the completed disciplinary documents to CRA Executive Director shall serve as grounds for disciplinary action. 8. After a period of one year for a Verbal Warning, two years for a Written Reprimand, and five years for a Suspension, discipline will not be considered for purposes of future disciplinary actions or promotions. However, these items will remain in the employee's personnel file. Verbal warnings or verbal reprimands are not considered as disciplinary action. Page 23 of 90 C. Examples of Misconduct The following types of infractions, offenses, or misconduct shall represent employee noncompliance with rules, regulations, policies, practices or procedures of the CRA, or employee wrongs or offenses which violate permissible behaviors or are specifically prohibited by law. The listed reasons are for informational purposes only and are not meant to be exhaustive. Each disciplinary action shall be considered on a case -by- case basis. The following are examples of violations which shall result in disciplinary action: 1. Conduct unbecoming of a CRA employee, as specified in the Definitions section. 2. Abuse of CRA policies including, but not limited to: • abuse of sick leave privileges, sick leave policy or excessive absenteeism • job abandonment defined as two or more work days without reporting to work and without notification of the employee's supervisor • failure to notify CRA of current address and telephone number within ten (10) calendar days of change • failure to report any outside employment • possession of a firearm or concealed weapon on CRA property or while performing official CRA duties • suspension or revocation of any required job- related licenses or certifications • use of abusive language to or about an employee, co- worker, supervisor, or the public • insubordination, meaning the failure to recognize or accept the authority of a supervisor • threatening, either verbally or physically, a co- worker or supervisor. 3.

Documented failure of a supervisor to perform duties required of supervisory employees including recommending and/or taking disciplinary actions when necessary. 5. Violation or disregard of CRA's Safety Policy and Procedures including: unauthorized use or unsafe operation of CRA property, equipment or vehicles. failure to report an on- the -job injury or accident within 24 hours to immediate supervisor supervisor's failure to report an employee's on the job injury to the CRA Executive Director within 24 hours and /or completion of necessary documentation. 6. Illegal, unethical or improper acts including: • theft or removal of CRA property without proper authorization • falsifying employment application or concealing information during pre - employment screening or processing • soliciting or accepting an unauthorized fee or gift giving false information, or failure or refusal to fully cooperate or provide full, truthful information in CRA initiated investigations • possession, use or sale of illegal drugs, alcohol or prescription medication which alters the employee's performance on the job; or any confirmed positive drug test • possession or use of alcohol while on duty; or reporting to work under the influence of alcohol • refusal to participate, if offered, in a drug /alcohol rehabilitation program, and to sign and abide by a return to work agreement when the CRA receives positive confirmed results on any CRA ordered drug test such as workers' compensation, accident or reasonable suspicion drug or alcohol testing refusal to submit to a CRA sponsored drug or alcohol testing such as workers' compensation, reasonable suspicion, follow up, or applicant processes • violating the CRA's Sexual Harassment policy through interaction with another employee or a member of the public. Page 25 of 90 D. Procedure When an immediate supervisor becomes aware of conclusive evidence of the need for employee discipline, he /she becomes responsible and shall investigate the circumstances of the misconduct, or lack of performance, prior to deciding upon the type of disciplinary action to be recommended or taken. Job abandonment is cause for immediate dismissal with approval of the CRA Executive Director. Documentation of the disciplinary investigation or of the conduct shall be required on the park of the immediate supervisor in order to establish appropriate records. The CRA Executive Director will be available to assist in such investigations. In cases where investigations of a more substantial nature are required, the following types of administrative review shall be administered. 1. Administrative Review: Investigations of non - criminal violations conducted in the absence of immediate or conclusive evidence involving any CRA employee. These investigations shall be conducted by the CRA Executive Director or designee, who shall obtain all sufficient information, including documentation and /or sworn statements, in order to determine the necessity or level of disciplinary action. The CRA Executive Director assumes responsibility for acquiring any necessary sworn statements. Administrative investigations shall be conducted expeditiously. 2. Criminal Investigations: Investigations conducted when criminal violations are reportedly committed by any employee of the CRA. These investigations shall be conducted by the local Police Department, in collaboration with the CRA Executive Director. In instances where an investigation of serious, unlawful or other extreme misconduct is necessary, administrative and /or criminal investigations shall be conducted. The immediate supervisor, with the approval of the CRA Executive Director, may initiate a three (3) working day or less suspension with pay to afford a supervisor the opportunity to investigate an alleged incident of misconduct in the absence of the employee. Suspensions with pay of more than three (3) working days require the approval of the CRA Executive Director. This practice may also be used in the event that alleged misconduct is severe but unproven. The immediate supervisor shall immediately notify the CRA Executive Director of the choice for suspension so that the suspension may be issued and the matter may be immediately investigated. A recommendation for disciplinary action may result from the findings of an investigation. If disciplinary measures are not recommended after the investigation, the suspension with pay period shall not be construed as Page 26 of 90 disciplinary in nature. A document confirming a favorable determination as to the matter should be made a part of the employee's record. E. Types of Action 1. Counseling Consists of the immediate supervisor warning the employee to correct or improve performance, work habits, or behavior, and counseling the employee on improvements expected. Counseling serves as a warning against further repetition of employee behavior. Future violations will result in further discipline up to and including termination. A Disciplinary Action Form should be completed by the immediate supervisor. The employee shall be required to sign the form signifying that he/she has read and discussed the contents with the supervisor. The Disciplinary Action Form shall be forwarded to The CRA Executive Director for retention in the employee's records, with a copy provided to the employee. The supervisor may request that the employee complete a written action plan to correct the behavior. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. 2. Written Reprimand Consists of an immediate supervisor issuing a written notice of reprimand to improve performance, work habits, or behavior. A written reprimand may include a complete description of the incident(s) of misconduct, inappropriate behavior, work habits, or performance which require improvement; previous records of discussion; a time frame within which the employee must correct or improve his/her behavior; and a warning that future violations will result in further disciplinary actions up to and including termination. Written reprimands shall be signed by the employee to acknowledge receipt and forwarded to the CRA Executive Director for retention in the employee's records, with a copy provided to the employee. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. The employee may be required to complete a written plan for correction of the behavior. When the written reprimand contains a time frame for employee improvement, a follow -up discussion at the end of the designated time period should be conducted. This follow - up discussion will provide a specific opportunity to review the Page 27 of 90 employee's improvement relative to the discipline. Written reprimands should be reflected on the employee's performance evaluation along with any noted improvements. 3. Suspension Consists of an employee being prohibited from returning to work until the specified period of suspension has passed. If the suspension is greater than one (1) working day, it shall be issued on a consecutive working day basis. Unless provided for otherwise in this policy or disallowed by the Fair Labor Standards Act, all suspensions shall be without pay. Suspensions shall be used when an employee is removed from the job due to extreme misconduct or unlawful behavior, or when instances of previous discipline support a suspension for a specified period of time. Employees shall be suspended pending the outcome of a recommendation to terminate and shall remain under suspension until the CRA Executive Director has made a final determination in a pre - termination hearing, if elected by the employee. With the written authorization of the CRA Executive Director, immediate supervisors have the authority to issue a suspension for three (3) working days or less. Suspensions beyond three (3) working days require prior authorization by the CRA Executive Director. Suspensions due to a recommendation to terminate only require the CRA Executive Director's approval. Employees being suspended shall be notified in writing by the immediate supervisor. The written notification shall consist of the reason for the action and the duration of the suspension. It shall also include a statement that future violations will result in further disciplinary actions up to and including termination. It shall be the employee's responsibility to pay for insurance benefits and/or any other payments previously paid through payroll deductions during any suspensions without pay in order to maintain such benefits during these periods. Lapses in payments may result in forfeiture of such benefits. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. Written notification of a suspension shall be signed by the suspended employee acknowledging receipt of the written notification, and forwarded to the CRA Executive Director or Page 28 of 90 designee for inclusion in the employee's records, with a copy provided to the employee. 4. Demotion In the context of this policy, demotion consists of an employee being involuntarily removed from higher level classification to a lower level classification, with a resulting decrease in annual salary. Although not limited to such instances, demotions may occur in some cases because of an inability to fulfill the duties of the higher level job in a satisfactory manner; or a failure to comply with employment conditions, such as licensure or certification. In addition, during position probation an employee shall be subject to demotion without the CRA being required to state a reason. The employee shall have access to the appeal process. A demotion will involve a decrease in salary of not less than 5 %, commensurate with the decrease in responsibilities. Immediate supervisors should discuss the potential demotion of an employee with the CRA Executive Director prior to a written recommendation for demotion. The supervisor shall then submit the written recommendation to the CRA Executive Director. Demotions require authorization from the CRA Executive Director prior to being effected. Written notification of demotions shall be provided to the employee by the CRA Executive Director. Such notices shall include the final decision, the reason(s) for the decision, the employee's new classification title, the new pay range and pay rate, and the effective date of the demotion. Written notifications shall also include that future violations will result in further disciplinary actions up to and including termination of employment. All documentation of a demotion shall be retained in the employee's file by the CRA Executive Director. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in their personnel file. Employees may voluntarily request a demotion to a lower level classification. Such demotion shall not be punitive. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. Written notification of a demotion shall be signed by the employee acknowledging receipt of the written notification, and forwarded to the CRA Executive Director for inclusion in the employee's records. Page 29 of 90 5. Dismissal Dismissal is a result of an employee's involuntary termination which severs the employment relationship. Immediate supervisors shall supply thorough documentation and discuss recommendations for an employee's dismissal with the CRA Executive Director. Dismissals of regular employees shall be effected only with the authorization of the CRA Executive Director. A written notice of the recommendation to terminate shall be given to the employee in person. However, after two unsuccessful attempts to deliver the notification, the notice shall be sent via U.S. mail to the most recent address on record in the personnel file. The recommendation to terminate and the CRA Executive Director's notification letter shall be placed in the employee's personnel file. Initial probationary employees who have not successfully completed the established probationary period shall be subject to dismissal without cause and it shall be effective after authorization by the CRA Executive Director. At the time of dismissal, employees are required to surrender to their supervisor or designee all CRA property which may be in their possession or custody and all other conditions for termination must be complied with prior to issuance of final wages. 6. Inefficiency, Incompetence or Job Abandonment The inefficiency or incompetence in the performance of assigned duties may result in demotion or disciplinary action up to and including termination. Examples of poor performance shall include failure to provide responsive, courteous, high quality customer service or repeated failure to support team goals and contribute to team success. Employees who receive an overall "Below Expectations" evaluation shall be given a follow -up evaluation within sixty (60) calendar days of the initial "Below Expectations" evaluation. More than one overall rating of "Below Expectations" may subject the employee to demotion or disciplinary action up to and including termination. It is the responsibility of every employee to perform at a minimum level of "Meets Expectations ". Page 30 of 90 SECTION II -1 CLASSIFICATION PROVI I Purpose of the Classification Plan - The classification plan provides for a systematic arrangement of positions. The plan groups related positions into classifications with a similar range of duties, level of responsibility, and nature of work performed. -2 PAY PROVISIONS: Purpose of the Pay Plan - The pay plan shall provide the basis of compensation for all employees and shall be administered and recommended for revision as appropriate by the CRA Executive Director. The Pay Plan shall include: A. Schedules of pay rates for each title in the classification plan consisting of the minimum and the maximum hourly rate, and/or annual salary. B. Identification of non - exempt and exempt classifications. - I OVERT / COMPENSATORY TIME: A. Hours of Work Hours of work will be determined by the CRA Executive Director and shall be uniform for all employees and be determined in accordance with the needs of the services and operational needs of the CRA. Situations may arise that may require employees to work additional hours without notice. All employees are required to work additional hours when notified by the CRA Executive Director of the need to work. B. Overtime Overtime hours are hours actually worked by non- exempt employees in excess of a forty (40) hours per work week and must be authorized in advance by the CRA Executive Director before such overtime is permitted. Provisions of the FLSA shall be applied for non - exempt employees for overtime purposes. Hours that shall count towards overtime calculations only include those hours "actually" worked. Annual leave, sick leave, holiday pay, suspensions with pay, workers compensation leave, family medical leave, funeral leave, jury duty, annual military leave and other absences from work while in active pay status will not be counted as time actually worked for purposes of determining whether overtime has been worked in excess of forty (40) hours per week. Page 31 of 90 C. Compensatory Time as Payment for Overtime Hours Worked Compensatory time in lieu of overtime payment for non - exempt employees can be awarded and earned at 1.5 hours for every hour of overtime worked above 40 hours in lieu of cash compensation in accordance with FLSA. Cash payments for overtime compensation may be authorized at the discretion of the CRA Executive Director. When exempt employees are required to work weekends for any reason other than those stated above, they shall receive compensatory time in lieu of overtime at 1.5 hours for every hour of overtime worked above 40 hours in lieu of cash compensation. Accruals of compensatory time for exempt and non - exempt employees may be accrued up to 240 hours and may be used by the employee provided reasonable notice has been given to the CRA. Accruals in excess of 240 hours will be forfeit. Upon separation the CRA will pay out the accrued compensatory time up to a maximum of 240 hours. Cash payments for overtime compensation may be authorized at anytime at the discretion of the CRA Executive Director. SECTION 05: EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS -1 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT: Employees may engage in outside employment during off -duty hours when such employment does not in any way interfere or create a potential conflict of interest with their CRA employment. An employee, who wishes to engage in any outside employment including self- employment, shall provide information concerning the proposed employment to the CRA Executive Director for approval prior to engaging in outside employment. EQUIPMENT: 5-2 CRA The personal use of any CRA equipment, such as computers, cameras, tools, vehicles, etc., shall be prohibited unless otherwise approved in advance by the CRA Executive Director.

The employee shall also maintain on a current basis the name, address and telephone number of the person(s) to contact in case of emergency. POLITICAL : No CRA employee shall take any active part in political campaigns or other political activities during duty hours. In accordance with Florida Statutes, as amended, employees are prohibited from engaging in certain types of political activities while either on or off duty. Employees, in their private capacities, may express their opinions on any political candidate or issue and/or participate in campaigns during their off -duty hours; however, they are prohibited from using their official authority or influence or appearance of doing so through the wearing of CRA uniforms or official attire, or in CRA vehicles while participating in political campaigns, for the purpose of aiding or interfering with an election or nomination, or coercing or influencing another person's vote or affecting the result thereof. No buttons, bumper stickers, pins, or any political signage shall be adhered to CRA vehicles, or worn during the workday while on the job, or worn on CRA official attire, or posted on or about CRA premises. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit an employee's right to engage in casual workplace discussions on social or political topics, so long as such discussions do not, in the judgment of management of the CRA, interfere with the orderly, peaceful, and efficient performance of assigned duties or with the valid exercise of authority of management. RESIGNATION: Resignation is the voluntary separation of an employee from employment accomplished by serving a written notice expressing a decision to end employment with the CRA. Such written notice shall be deemed to be accepted immediately. An employee who wishes to leave in good standing shall provide at least two (2) weeks notice, before leaving. Resignations may be rescinded only with the written approval of the CRA Executive Director. All employees who have completed their probationary period and given two weeks written notice will receive their accumulated sick, vacation and compensatory time to date subject to the maximum accumulation times defined in this policy and reimbursement for as yet non - reimbursed expenses. Medical, dental, vision, and life /disability benefits will continue to be paid for in full by the CRA through the last day of the month following ninety (90) days after the effective date of resignation. Employees who fail to report to work or fail to call in absent to their supervisor for three (3) consecutive working days shall be deemed as having voluntarily Page 33 of 90 resigned from employment. A letter of termination shall be mailed within two (2) working days to the last known address of the employee, accepting their voluntary resignation. -fi DRUG FREE WORKPLACE: General Statement of olicy on Employee Drug Use It is the intent of the CRA to provide a Drug -Free Workplace, as provided in Section 440.101, Florida Statutes, in order that employees be afforded the opportunity to maximize their levels of productivity, enhance their competitive positions in the marketplace, and reach their desired levels of success without experiencing the costs, delays, and tragedies associated with work - related accidents resulting from drug abuse. It is further the intent of the CRA that drug abuse be discouraged and that employees who choose to engage in drug abuse face the risk of unemployment and the forfeiture of workers' compensation benefits. In the case of abuse of illegal drugs or alcohol, the CRA may use constructive disciplinary measures to motivate the employee to seek assistance. To the extent that they are available, normal benefits, such as sick leave and the group medical plan, may aid in the rehabilitation process. Supervisory personnel are responsible for assisting employees diagnosed with a substance abuse problem in fully understanding the health benefits program. An employee's participation in any program and the results obtained are kept in confidence. This information is not subject to the "Government in the Sunshine Law." The CRA is a participating employer in an Employee Assistance Program with Counseling Services Associates (855) 272 -8880, through which the CRA and all of its employees may benefit. The Employee Assistance Program vendor may change and employees should check with the CRA's HR designee to confirm the current vendor. The CRA has available to all its employees a booklet explaining not only the substance abuse program, but other problems for which counseling services are available, such as interpersonal relationships with other employees, mental disorders, financial difficulties or problems with children or spouses. The CRA will hold in strict confidence any employee's participation in this program. It is the intent of the CRA to comply with the requirements of section 440.102, Florida Statutes and Chapter 38F -9, Florida Administrative Code. In the event of a conflict between those requirements and this policy, the standards set forth in section 440.102 and Chapter 38F -9, as amended from time to time, shall prevail. No employee shall be terminated, disciplined, or discriminated against solely upon the employee's voluntarily seeking treatment, while under the employ of the CRA, for drug - related problems if the employee has not previously tested positive Page 34 of 90 for drug use, entered an employee assistance program for drug - related problems, or entered a drug rehabilitation program. The CRA will not condone the following behavior by employees: • Use of illicit drugs. • Abuse of legal (prescription or over - the - counter) drugs or alcohol. • Sale, purchase, transfer, use or possession of illegal drugs or prescription drugs obtained illegally. • All Supervisors are responsible for ensuring a safe working environment within their departments and are, therefore, responsible for reporting all incidents of possession, sale, distribution, or use of illegal substances to their immediate superior. Employees found in possession of an illegal substance on CRA property or while on CRA business will be terminated. Notice of Testing One time only, prior to Drug testing, the CRA shall give all employees and job applicants for employment a written policy statement which contains: 1. A general statement of the CRA's policy on employee drug use, which must identify: a. The types of drug testing an employee or job applicant may be required to submit to, including reasonable - suspicion drug testing or drug testing conducted on any other basis. b.

Part time, temporary, and emergency hire employees are not eligible for benefit coverage. Employees on approved leaves of absence must pay the non - subsidized rate for all insurances in effect during their leaves of absence. Upon either voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, benefit payments for medical, dental, vision, and life /disability will continue to be fully paid for by the CRA through the last day of the month following ninety (90) days after the date of employment termination. For example, if the last day of employment is January 15 benefits will be paid in full by the CRA through the last day of April, or April 30. Regular full time non - exempt and exempt employees that decline (opt out) of medical benefit coverage shall receive a 50% payment in lieu of the associated expense that would have been borne by the CRA.

The 409(a) Lump Sum Employer Contribution Retirement Deferred Compensation Plan is non - contributory on the part of the employee. Eligibility for Page 50 of 90 this contribution is based upon the employee's successful completion of the Initial Probationary Period. The amount of the Lump Sum Employer contribution, if granted, is based upon a Uniform Retirement Percentage as determined by the CRA Board and is administered by the CRA Plan Coordinator. Employee's that complete their probationary period during any month of the fiscal year will have the employer contribution prorated. By way of example, if an employee is eligible to receive $3,400.00 (based on an annual salary of $50,370.00) for a full year's employer lump sum contribution the employee will receive a prorated share of that amount for the months between the end of their probationary period and September 30 The employer's full contribution calculation will commence with the start of the next fiscal year. Eligible employees may receive profit sharing contributions regardless of whether they participate in the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan. Actual payment of contributions to the 401(a) Lump Sum Employer Contribution Plan is at the discretion of the CRA and may be made at any time during the fiscal year as determined by the CRA Plan Coordinator.

Electronic communications, including the contents of CRA owned computers, telephones and facsimiles are the property of the CRA. This policy is intended to apply to employees' use of their personal equipment that may be used on CRA property (including CRA vehicles), or during CRA- related activity. The purpose of this policy is to set forth guidelines regarding access to and dissemination of information /messages sent or received by CRA employees. The internet, email, phone mail or other communications or information systems of the CRA are not to be used in any manner that is offensive, disruptive, abusive or harmful to others or to CRA morale. Employees in violation of this policy are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Page 54 of 90 -2 No Expect of rivac : The CRA treats all computer files, including but not limited to email sent or received, as CRA- related information, and unless expressly exempt, a public record under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. The CRA has the ability and the right, with or without notice, to access, monitor, review, copy and/or delete any computer files, including but not limited to emails sent or received, and all internet -based and internal communications and /or transactions. If an employee makes incidental use of the CRA's computer system for personal files or email, such employee has no expectation that such personal files will be protected from review and/or deletion by the CRA. Accordingly, employees should not use CRA computer systems to create, transmit or store any information they wish to keep private. Because the CRA is sensitive to legitimate privacy rights of employees, effort will be made to conduct workplace monitoring in a respectful manner. 8 -3 Use of Systems for Harassment: Use of the CRA computer system, or of any technology, whether owned by CRA or not to engage in communication that violates CRA policy is strictly prohibited. The CRA prohibits the display, storage or transmission of sexually explicit images, messages, cartoons, or any transmissions or use of communications that contain profane of offensive language; ethnic, religious or racial slurs; or any other communication that will likely be construed as harassment or disparagement of others based on race, color, national origin, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation or political beliefs. 8 -4 Non - solicitation; Outside Employment: The CRA computer system shall not be used to solicit for commercial ventures unrelated to CRA business, religious or political causes or outside organizations unless expressly authorized by the CRA. 8-5 Software The CRA prohibits the use of any computer software or programs that are not expressly authorized and installed by the CRA.

Termination: All equipment and computer - related files, programs and materials issued or purchased by the CRA remain the property of the CRA. Upon voluntary or involuntary termination of employment or service with the CRA, employees may not retain any equipment, computer programs, files or materials. Upon Page 55 of 9 termination, the CRA will turn off all computer and communications systems issued to the terminated employee. 8-7 Reporting: All reports of violations of this policy and all questions related to this policy should be directed to the employee's immediate supervisor, or, if the supervisor is unable to satisfactorily resolve the issue or is closely connected with a violation of the policy, to the Human Resources Department. SECTION 09: MISCELLANEOUS -1 Personal Appearance/Dress Code: Employees are expected at all times to present a professional, businesslike image to citizens. Courtesy, appearance, body language and manners are all important in projecting a positive professional image. Employees are expected to dress and groom in a neat, clean and businesslike manner consistent with the position and work location, and demonstrate pride in their job. The following is a guideline of appropriate appearance and attire: Hair should be clean, combed and neatly trimmed or arranged. Unkempt hair is not permissible regardless of length. Sideburns, moustaches, and beards should be neatly trimmed. Administrative personnel who work in offices and any employees who have regular contact with the public must wear clothing that is businesslike in appearance, such as a business suit, business shirt with or without a tie; polo shirt; CRA logo shirt; slacks such as Dockers or similar style; business dress or skirt with a blouse /sweater; or non -denim Capri pants. The length of a dress /skirt is to be no shorter than 3" above the knee. Clothing is not considered businesslike in appearance if it is: Casual sportswear, such as cargo pants, stirrup pants, or stretch pants Ripped or disheveled clothing or athletic wear Skorts or Shorts Garments made of blue denim, Lycra or other form - fitting material Low Rise, low cut, hipster or hip - huggers pants, which leads to exposure of the mid - section Exposure of boxer shorts Sweatshirts, T -Shirts (with the exception of CRA Logo items) or Halter Tops Skirts and Culottes that are greater than 3 inches above the knee Flip -Flops or Athletic shoes Page 56 of 90 Shirts that show any part of an undergarment Shirts that inappropriately expose cleavage or the mid - section Shirts unbuttoned more than the 2 nd button from the top See through, mesh, or clothing that is too tight Each Friday has been designated as dress down day for those employees who regularly follow the office dress code (non- uniformed, clerical, etc). It is a privilege which permits a relaxation of the normal business attire described above. The same guidelines for businesslike attire apply on Fridays, dress down day, with the exception that jeans, tee shirts, and athletic shoes are allowed to be worn. Clothing should be neat in appearance and without tears or holes (even if it is the style). Tee shirts must not have anything that has advertising on it. There are times when traditional business attire should be worn on days when casual attire is permitted. Employees should take the day's schedule into account when they dress. If a meeting is scheduled with visitors, or if there are visitors with whom the employee will come in contact, business attire may be more appropriate. The CRA's primary object is to have employees project a professional image while taking advantage of more casual and relaxed fashions. Any employee who does not meet the standards of this policy will be required to take corrective action, which may include leaving the premises. Non - exempt employees will not be compensated for any work time missed because of failure to comply with this policy. Violations of this policy also will result in disciplinary action.

It is not all inclusive, and is only a set of guidelines. The manual does not alter the "at -will" relationship between the CRA and the employee (unless the employer wants to change this traditional relationship). T he manual does not guarantee employment for any definite period of time and applies to all CRA employees. The manual supersedes any previous written or unwritten policies. The manual can only be changed in writing, by the Executive Director. In the event of a conflict between this manual and the Human Resources Policy and Procedures Manual, the latter shall govern. Page 62 of 90 f. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY A. EEO Policy Statement Objective The CRA is an Equal Opportunity Employer and prohibits discrimination because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, political affiliation, handicap (except where such factor is a bona fide occupational qualification or is required by State and /or Federal law), sexual orientation, marital status, or veteran status in all aspects of its personnel policies, programs, practices, recruitment, examination, appointment, training, promotion, retention or any other actions and operations.

To ensure that individuals who join the CRA are well - qualified and have a strong potential to be productive and successful, it is the policy to verify the employment references of the selected candidate prior to extending a job offer. The HR representative is designated to respond to reference check inquiries from other employers. All calls, contacts and written inquires concerning current or former employees should be referred to the Human Resources Representative. It is the policy of the CRA to provide neutral references concerning former employees. Responses to such inquiries will confirm only the dates of employment, wage rates and the title of position held. (See Appendix C for form). B. Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Once the results of the reference checks appear satisfactory, a conditional offer of employment may be extended subject to a satisfactory credit and criminal background check. (See Appendix C for form). C. Criminal Background Check Policy The CRA requires a criminal check for all full -time and part -time internal employees once a conditional offer of employment has been extended. Although a disqualification is possible, in accordance with federal and state laws, a previous conviction does not automatically disqualify a candidate from consideration for employment. Depending on a variety of factors (for example, the nature of the position, the nature of the conviction, age of the candidate when the illegal activity occurred), the candidate may still be eligible for employment with the CRA. However, if a candidate attempts to withhold information or falsify information pertaining to previous convictions, the employee will be disqualified from further employment consideration in any position with the CRA due to falsification of an application. Although a conditional offer of employment may be extended to a candidate prior to the completion of the criminal conviction check, the candidate's first day of work in the position must not be prior to the satisfactory completion of the criminal conviction check. D. 1 -9 Form Requirements (See Appendix D for 1 -9 form). Page 67 of 90 Whenever an employer hires an individual (U.S. citizen or non -U.S. citizen) as an employee, the CRA completes the 1 -9 form. An employee is defined as any person who performs labor or services in return for wages or other remuneration. If an employee does not have the proper documentation within three business days of his or her start date, the employer must terminate the employee. Three (3) business days means that the CRA counts weekends and holidays as business days if the CRA is open for business on those days. If within this time the employee produces a receipt showing that he or she has applied for a work authorization or identification document, the employee must be given ninety (90) days to produce the required documentation. 1. Compliance With and Completion of the 1 -9 Form There are three (3) important sections on the 1 -9 form that must be accurately completed in order to comply with the I -9 requirement. Section 1: The CRA completes section 1 at the time of hire (no later than the date the employee starts). It is the employer's responsibility to assure that the employee fills in the correct information and signs and dates the form. Section 2: The employee must present original documents (not photocopies) that establish identity and employment eligibility. See back of form for documents required. 2. Document Retention a. Retain the 1 -9 form for every employee for the full duration of that individual's employment.. b. Keep 1 -9 forms with employee's personnel file to facilitate retrieval in the event of an audit. C. The 1 -9 employment verification process is an integral part of the CRA's compliance with the U.S. Immigration Laws. 3. Copying Documents Although copying documents is not required (and does not relieve the employer of the obligation to complete the 1 -9 forms), in certain circumstances such a practice may be advisable, as follows: a. If copies of the documents are made, the copies must be retained with the 1 -9 form. b. Copies of documents may assist the CRA and its Attorney in preparing for a USCIS audit and in defending against claims that appropriate documentation was not demanded or presented. C. In addition, maintaining copies of documents may aid the CRA in defending against assertions that it accepted fraudulent documents that it should known were not genuine. Page 68 of 90 I. PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION A. Performance or Behavior Employee problems that require corrective action generally can be classified as either performance or behavior problems. Appropriately classifying the problem into one of these two categories is an important first step and will enable the HR designee to more effectively determine an appropriate response. B. Behavior Problems 1. Examples of behavior problems include: a. Misconduct b. Negligence C. Insubordination d. Poor attendance e. Other issues 2. Behavior problems are usually completely within the employee's control. For example, employees make conscious decisions every day to either leave home in sufficient time to arrive at work on time or not, to be truthful or not, to follow rules and procedures or not, to follow their supervisors direction or not. 3. Management can do little beyond clearly stating its expectations and holding each employee accountable to those expectations. a. As a result, these problems should be addressed in a straightforward and direct manner. b. Specifically, when the employees behavior does not meet the minimum expectations, formal corrective action should be taken in the form of a verbal warning, a written warning or possibly termination. C. Formal Actions 1. A clear statement describing the employees behavior deficiency, citing specific instances wherever possible. 2. A restatement of the minimum expectations /requirements with regard to the area of deficiency. 3. The consequences to the employee of future occurrences with this and/or related behavior deficiencies. 4. A memo (in the event of a written warning or final written warning) that the employee signs acknowledging that s /he understands the contents of the discussion. D. Formal Investigation 1. Frequently, it is necessary to conduct a formal investigation as a result of an employees behavior problem. Page 69 of 90 2. When the investigation concerns employee misconduct, negligence or illegal behavior,' it is a good practice to suspend the alleged violator, with pay, pending the outcome of the investigation. 3. when this occurs it is in the best interest of all parties concerned to conduct a thorough and expeditious investigation. 4. If wrongdoing is found, it is appropriate to either go back and not] pay the employee for the period of the investigation or terminate the employee effective the first date of suspension, or last written warning. 5. This practice will foster a presumption of innocence until guilt is proven. E. Progressive Discipline Policy - Four Steps Step One: Verbal counseling should be documented. 1. The documentation, which should include the date and time of the session, serves to memorialize the session so that it can be referred to subsequently. 2. The employee should be told that this is only a verbal counseling but should be asked to sign the documentation. to Two: First Written Warning. Step Three: Second Written Warning at he discretion of the Executive Director accompanied by a short suspension (usually one (1) to three (3) days with a long suspension) and usually at least one (1) work week. This may also be the Final Warning. Step Four Termination. 1. Some serious infractions warrant skipping one or more steps and jumping to a higher level of discipline (very serious infractions such as fighting or theft may warrant termination as the first and only step). 2. For very serious infractions, it may be appropriate to suspend an employee. 3. For example, it may be advisable to suspend employees involved in a physical altercation because the primary objective may be to remove the danger rather than to announce a termination and risk the escalation of a potentially dangerous situation. See Appendix E-G for relevant forms. Page 70 of 90 APPENDIX A Page 71 of 90 APPLICATION 710 N.

This prohibition includes all acts of harassment, including harassment that is based on an individual's sex, race, age, or any characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. you itn ss a viola t sit ation o r a into i a the t nirig or violent person o not place yourself in a gar or to V tercel .

E. Investigation The CRA will promptly and thoroughly investigate all reports of threats or actual violence as well as suspicious individuals or activities. The identity of the CRA individual making a report will be protected as much as is practical. In order to maintain workplace safety and the integrity of its investigation, the CRA will suspend employees, either with or without pay depending on the investigation and circumstances. F. Disciplinary Action Anyone who it is determined to be responsible for threats or actual violence or other conduct that is in violation of these guidelines will be subject to prompt disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. The CRA encourages employees to bring disputes or differences with other employees or others to the attention of their supervisors or the HR designee before the situation escalates. The CRA is committed to assist in the resolution of disputes. 3-6 FORMAL GRIEVANCES: It is the policy of the CRA to anticipate and avoid occurrences of formal grievances and to deal promptly with formal grievances that may arise. Emp lo y e e s who believe they have suffered wrongdoing by another em to ee or su should not confront a individual by whom they ell v th y ave been wronged. Any grievan against another employee or s isor must be submi in ritin rs a t to thi s olic . All formal grievances must be in writing and must include the nature of the grievance and all the facts supporting the grievance. This written document must be submitted to the MR loy e's iec sups isor, unless th s isor is e party named in t_ e grievance or closer associated with t o a y named in the i vac If the employee is not comfortable r o i to su ervisor t gloves rnav file a orieva ce with an HR dgaLqnee The primary purpose of this grievance procedure is to determine what is right, not who is right. Free discussion between employees and the HR Designee will lead to better understanding of practices, policies and procedures, which affect employees. Discussion will serve to identify and help eliminate conditions, which may cause misunderstandings prior to the filing of written formal grievances. The CRA Executive Director shall establish rules for the processing of formal grievances. Rules may be amended from time to time, but should have as their objective the prompt and efficient disposition of a formal grievance. Formal 19 00344780 -1 grievances are to be initiated by employee within ten (10) working days of the event giving rise to the grievance or the grievance is waived. Once initiated the time sequence for review and response to the employee should not exceed twenty (20) working days. Decisions by the HR Designee can be appealed to the CRA Executive Director. In the event the grievance involves the CRA Executive Director, the employee can request the decision be appealed to the CRA Board Designee. The decision of the CRA Executive Director or CRA Board Designee regarding the disposition of the grievance is binding and not subject to further review or consideration. -7 PERSONNEL ACTIONS: A. Promotion Upon promotion, an employee shall receive an increase to the minimum pay rate of the new position, or up to 10 %, whichever is higher. In no case shall the new salary exceed the maximum pay established for the position. Promoted employees shall serve a ninety (90) day position probationary period and may be demoted without notice and without cause during the position probationary period. B. Demotion Upon demotion, an employee shall receive a decrease in pay of a minimum of 5 %, or up to 10% if previously promoted to the higher level classification and awarded that amount for the promotion action, or greater if a higher amount of decrease is necessary in order not to exceed the maximum rate of pay for the lower level position. In no case shall the new lower pay rate exceed the maximum of the pay range established for the lower level position. There may be circumstances which result in demotion that are not due to the employee's job performance, conduct, and/or disciplinary actions. These include, but are not limited to, organization restructuring and decrease in operating revenues. Such demotion shall not be punitive and pay adjustments will be determined by the CRA Executive Director. The Executive Director may choose to make the employee's pay at the lower level position no greater than the maximum established for the position; however, the Executive Director may also set the pay level to exceed the maximum for the position in special circumstances. C. Demotion Approvals and Appeal All demotions and resulting adjustments in an employee's pay rate shall receive the prior review and approval of the CRA Executive Director. Demoted 20 00344780 -] employees not serving within an established probationary period may appeal the demotion action in writing within two (2) working days of written notification of the demotion. The CRA Executive Director shall schedule an appeals meeting within ten working (10) working days of receipt of the employee appeal. The written appeal must state the reason for the appeal and all facts supporting the appeal. The CRA Executive Director shall preside over the appeals meeting and render a decision within twenty (20) working days of the appeals meeting. The demotion action shall be effective regardless of any appeal request. The demotion may then be overturned by the CRA Executive Director when a decision has been made. The decision of the CRA Executive Director is binding and not subject to further review or consideration. 3.8 CODE OF CONDUCT & DISCIPLINARY PROVISIONS: A. Purpose The CRA anticipates that its employees will conduct themselves appropriately, both on and off the job. As a service entity, we must treat our customers in a courteous and respectful manner at all times and our conduct must be consistent with the CRA's goals and objectives. We recognize, however, that there will be instances when employees may act in a manner that is not consistent with the CRA's goals and objectives and the CRA Board's expectations. To address these situations, a disciplinary process has been developed to enable the CRA Executive Director to resolve issues related to unacceptable performance and misconduct. The CRA's goals in establishing such a process are both to ensure that employees understand the potential consequences of inappropriate behavior and to assist them in recognizing the severity of such consequences, with the hope that disciplinary sanctions, if required, will encourage the individual to personally resolve whatever concerns exist with respect to either inadequate performance or personal misconduct. II employees of the CRA have a duty to promptly reDort actual or suspected occurrences of illegal or unethical behavior or workplace wrongdoin, b of er aloyees or _ue isos; a d mav do so without far of retaliation or retribution. The CRA prohibits retaliation against any ernplovee because of the emp lovee's ood faith reporting of such activities. Any CRA employee regardless of title or position, who engages in such rohibited retaliation is subject to disciplinary action, including termination. B. Provisions 1. Conduct unbecoming of a CRA employee is defined as employee behavior or actions, on the part of the employee, which hinders or 21 00344780 -1 jeopardizes the successful operation of the CRA, undermines teamwork and cooperation among CRA employees, or undermines the public confidence in the CRA or its employees. 2. Counseling and written reprimands should be utilized as an element to motivate employees to choose behavior conducive to an individual's growth, development and most importantly, to insure the successful operation of the CRA and its services. However, in certain circumstances, punitive discipline actions will be necessary. There is no "fixed formula" for discipline. Management reserves the right and prerogative to make disciplinary decisions based on repeated occurrences of varying incidents, past performance, or severity of the incident. 3. Although progressive disciplinary actions are encouraged when circumstances support such use, the severity of misconduct and the circumstances shall determine the nature of the discipline. 4. A number of factors should be considered in determining the appropriate level of discipline to be taken at each successive step. Such factors may include time intervals between offenses, effectiveness of prior disciplinary actions, insubordination, employee willingness to improve, overall work performance and teamwork. 5. Certain misconduct is so contrary to the public interest that dismissal shall be the only appropriate disciplinary measure. 6. The level of misconduct may differ in individual cases from apparently similar incidents. The CRA retains the right to treat each occurrence on an individual basis without creating a precedent for situations which may arise in the future. This case -by -case method is designed to take individual circumstances and/or mitigating factors into account. These provisions are not to be construed as a limitation upon the retained rights of the CRA, but are to be used as a guide. 7. The failure of immediate supervisors to document and/or take disciplinary actions for misconduct, or the failure to forward the completed disciplinary documents to CRA Executive Director shall serve as grounds for disciplinary action. 8. After a period of one year for a Verbal Warning, two years for a Written Reprimand, and five years for a Suspension, discipline will not be considered for purposes of future disciplinary actions or promotions. However, these items will remain in the employee's personnel file. Verbal warnings or verbal reprimands are not considered as disciplinary action. C. Examples of Misconduct 22 00344780 -I The following types of infractions, offenses, or misconduct shall represent employee noncompliance with rules, regulations, policies, practices or procedures of the CRA, or employee wrongs or offenses which violate permissible behaviors or are specifically prohibited by law. The listed reasons are for informational purposes only and are not meant to be exhaustive. Each disciplinary action shall be considered on a case -by- case basis. The following are examples of violations which shall result in disciplinary action: 1. Conduct unbecoming of a CRA employee, as specified in the Definitions section. 2. Abuse of CRA policies including, but not limited to: • abuse of sick leave privileges, sick leave policy or excessive absenteeism • job abandonment defined as two or more work days without reporting to work and without notification of the employee's supervisor • failure to notify CRA of current address and telephone number within ten (10) calendar days of change • failure to report any outside employment • possession of a firearm or concealed weapon on CRA property or while performing official CRA duties • suspension or revocation of any required job - related licenses or certifications • use of abusive language to or about an employee, co- worker, supervisor, or the public • insubordination, meaning the failure to recognize or accept the authority of a supervisor • threatening, either verbally or physically, a co- worker or supervisor. 3. Abuse of departmental procedures and work rules including, but not limited to: • failure to provide name and official title to any person requesting same when performing work related duties • habitual extension of lunch periods or break period • habitually late for work without valid reason • smoking in prohibited areas • unauthorized solicitation, posting of material, or non - productive behavior • disrupting or hindering departmental operations • outside employment which conflicts, interferes or otherwise hampers the performance of the employee in their CRA job • unauthorized personal use of CRA equipment or funds 23 00344760 -1 • improper use of CRA time for conducting personal or private business • other department rules as communicated by the CRA Executive Director or supervisor. 4. Documented failure of a supervisor to perform duties required of supervisory employees including recommending and /or taking disciplinary actions when necessary. 5. Violation or disregard of CRA's Safety Policy and Procedures including: • unauthorized use or unsafe operation of CRA property, equipment or vehicles. • failure to report an on-the-job injury or accident within 24 hours to immediate supervisor supervisor's failure to report an employee's on the job injury to the CRA Executive Director within 24 hours and/or completion of necessary documentation. 6. Illegal, unethical or improper acts including. • theft or removal of CRA property without proper authorization • falsifying employment application or concealing information during pre - employment screening or processing • soliciting or accepting an unauthorized fee or gift • giving false information, or failure or refusal to fully cooperate or provide full, truthful information in CRA initiated investigations • possession, use or sale of illegal drugs, alcohol or prescription medication which alters the employee's performance on the job; or any confirmed positive drug test • possession or use of alcohol while on duty; or reporting to work under the influence of alcohol • refusal to participate, if offered, in a drug /alcohol rehabilitation program, and to sign and abide by a return to work agreement when the CRA receives positive confirmed results on any CRA ordered drug test such as workers' compensation, accident or reasonable suspicion drug or alcohol testing refusal to submit to a CRA sponsored drug or alcohol testing such as workers' compensation, reasonable suspicion, follow up, or applicant processes • violating the CRA's Sexual Harassment policy through interaction with another employee or a member of the public. D. Procedure 24 00344780 -1 When an immediate supervisor becomes aware of conclusive evidence of the need for employee discipline, he/she becomes responsible and shall investigate the circumstances of the misconduct, or lack of performance, prior to deciding upon the type of disciplinary action to be recommended or taken. Job abandonment is cause for immediate dismissal with approval of the CRA Executive Director. Documentation of the disciplinary investigation or of the conduct shall be required on the part of the immediate supervisor in order to establish appropriate records. The CRA Executive Director will be available to assist in such investigations. In cases where investigations of a more substantial nature are required, the following types of administrative review shall be administered. 1. Administrative Review: Investigations of non - criminal violations conducted in the absence of immediate or conclusive evidence involving any CRA employee. These investigations shall be conducted by the CRA Executive Director or designee, who shall obtain all sufficient information, including documentation and /or sworn statements, in order to determine the necessity or level of disciplinary action. The CRA Executive Director assumes responsibility for acquiring any necessary sworn statements. Administrative investigations shall be conducted expeditiously. . Criminal Investigations: Investigations conducted when criminal violations are reportedly committed by any employee of the CRA. These investigations shall be conducted by the local Police Department, in collaboration with the CRA Executive Director. In instances where an investigation of serious, unlawful or other extreme misconduct is necessary, administrative and/or criminal investigations shall be conducted. The immediate supervisor, with the approval of the GRA Executive Director, may initiate a three (3) working day or less suspension with pay to afford a supervisor the opportunity to investigate an alleged incident of misconduct in the absence of the employee. Suspensions with pay of more than three (3) working days require the approval of the CRA Executive Director. This practice may also be used in the event that alleged misconduct is severe but unproven. The immediate supervisor shall immediately notify the CRA Executive Director of the choice for suspension so that the suspension may be issued and the matter may be immediately investigated. A recommendation for disciplinary action may result from the findings of an investigation. If disciplinary measures are not recommended after the investigation, the suspension with pay period shall not be construed as disciplinary in nature. A document confirming a favorable determination as to the matter should be made a part of the employee's record. 25 00344780 -1 E. Types of Action 1. Counseling Consists of the immediate supervisor warning the employee to correct or improve performance, work habits, or behavior, and counseling the employee on improvements expected. Counseling serves as a warning against further repetition of employee behavior. Future violations will result in further discipline up to and including termination. A Disciplinary Action Form should be completed by the immediate supervisor. The employee shall be required to sign the form signifying that he /she has read and discussed the contents with the supervisor. The Disciplinary Action Form shall be forwarded to The CRA Executive Director for retention in the employee's records, with a copy provided to the employee. The supervisor may request that the employee complete a written action plan to correct the behavior. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. 2. Written Reprimand Consists of an immediate supervisor issuing a written notice of reprimand to improve performance, work habits, or behavior. A written reprimand may include a complete description of the incident(s) of misconduct, inappropriate behavior, work habits, or performance which require improvement; previous records of discussion; a time frame within which the employee must correct or improve his/her behavior; and a warning that future violations will result in further disciplinary actions up to and including termination. Written reprimands shall be signed by the employee to acknowledge receipt and forwarded to the CRA Executive Director for retention in the employee's records, with a copy provided to the employee. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. The employee may be required to complete a written plan for correction of the behavior. When the written reprimand contains a time frame for employee improvement, a follow -up discussion at the end of the designated time period should be conducted. This follow - up discussion will provide a specific opportunity to review the employee's improvement relative to the discipline. Written reprimands should be reflected on the employee's performance evaluation along with any noted improvements. 26 00344780 -1 3. Suspension Consists of an employee being prohibited from returning to work until the specified period of suspension has passed. If the suspension is greater than one (1) working day, it shall be issued on a consecutive working day basis. Unless provided for otherwise in this policy or disallowed by the Fair Labor Standards Act, all suspensions shall be without pay. Suspensions shall be used when an employee is removed from the job due to extreme misconduct or unlawful behavior, or when instances of previous discipline support a suspension for a specified period of time. Employees shall be suspended pending the outcome of a recommendation to terminate and shall remain under suspension until the CRA Executive Director has made a final determination in a pre- termination hearing, if elected by the employee. With the written authorization of the CRA Executive Director, immediate supervisors have the authority to issue a suspension for three (3) working days or less. Suspensions beyond three (3) working days require prior authorization by the CRA Executive Director. Suspensions due to a recommendation to terminate only require the CRA Executive Director's approval. Employees being suspended shall be notified in writing by the immediate supervisor. The written notification shall consist of the reason for the action and the duration of the suspension. It shall also include a statement that future violations will result in further disciplinary actions up to and including termination. It shall be the employee's responsibility to pay for insurance benefits and/or any other payments previously paid through payroll deductions during any suspensions without pay in order to maintain such benefits during these periods. Lapses in payments may result in forfeiture of such benefits. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. Written notification of a suspension shall be signed by the suspended employee acknowledging receipt of the written notification, and forwarded to the CRA Executive Director or designee for inclusion in the employee's records, with a copy provided to the employee. 27 00344780 -] 4. Demotion In the context of this policy, demotion consists of an employee being involuntarily removed from higher level classification to a lower level classification, with a resulting decrease in annual salary. Although not limited to such instances, demotions may occur in some cases because of an inability to fulfill the duties of the higher level job in a satisfactory manner; or a failure to comply with employment conditions, such as licensure or certification. In addition, during position probation an employee shall be subject to demotion without the CRA being required to state a reason. The employee shall have access to the appeal process. A demotion will involve a decrease in salary of not less than 5 %, commensurate with the decrease in responsibilities. Immediate supervisors should discuss the potential demotion of an employee with the CRA Executive Director prior to a written recommendation for demotion. The supervisor shall then submit the written recommendation to the CRA Executive Director. Demotions require authorization from the CRA Executive Director prior to being effected. Written notification of demotions shall be provided to the employee by the CRA Executive Director. Such notices shall include the final decision, the reason(s) for the decision, the employee's new classification title, the new pay range and pay rate, and the effective date of the demotion. Written notifications shall also include that future violations will result in further disciplinary actions up to and including termination of employment. All documentation of a demotion shall be retained in the employee's file by the CRA Executive Director. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in their personnel file. Employees may voluntarily request a demotion to a lower level classification. Such demotion shall not be punitive. Employees may submit comments on a separate sheet for inclusion in the record. Written notification of a demotion shall be signed by the employee acknowledging receipt of the written notification, and forwarded to the CRA Executive Director for inclusion in the employee's records. 5. Dismissal Dismissal is a result of an employee's involuntary termination which severs the employment relationship. Immediate supervisors shall supply thorough documentation and discuss recommendations for an employee's dismissal with the CRA Executive Director. 28 00344780 -1 Dismissals of regular employees shall be effected only with the authorization of the CRA Executive Director. A written notice of the recommendation to terminate shall be given to the employee in person. However, after two unsuccessful attempts to deliver the notification, the notice shall be sent via U.S. mail to the most recent address on record in the personnel file. The .ea,a ., e®®. ®t,*s.e -04 qe4eGGffwPeRded-te-FFR#kqfiGP, r°sraa ®a^vt }.i ®s°a 'raa° s ®.{� ®�4a ,�_y ®i��m^ � li�s1 a �rge° ®7•- s$irv� ia°I rntt ,_ ewtea m°§a'i em The recommendation to terminate and the CRA Executive Director's notification letter shall be placed in the employee's personnel file. Initial probationary employees who have not successfully completed the established probationary period shall be subject to dismissal without cause and it shall be effective after authorization by the CRA Executive Director. At the time of dismissal, employees are required to surrender to their supervisor or designee all CRA property which may be in their possession or custody and all other conditions for termination must be complied with prior to issuance of final wages. 6. Inefficiency, Incompetence or Job Abandonment The inefficiency or incompetence in the performance of assigned duties may result in demotion or disciplinary action up to and including termination. Examples of poor performance shall include failure to provide responsive, courteous, high quality customer service or repeated failure to support team goals and contribute to team success. Employees who receive an overall "Below Expectations" evaluation shall be given a follow -up evaluation within sixty (60) calendar days of the initial "Below Expectations" evaluation. More than one overall rating of "Below Expectations" may subject the employee to demotion or disciplinary action up to and including termination. It is the responsibility of every employee to perform at a minimum level of "Meets Expectations ", SECT ION CLASSI I 29 00344780 -1 -1 CLASSIFICATION PROVISIONS: Purpose of the Classification Plan - The classification plan provides for a systematic arrangement of positions. The plan groups related positions into classifications with a similar range of duties, level of responsibility, and nature of work performed. 4-2 PAY PROVISIONS: Purpose of the Pay Plan - The pay plan shall provide the basis of compensation for all employees and shall be administered and recommended for revision as appropriate by the CRA Executive Director. The Pay Plan shall include: A. Schedules of pay rates for each title in the classification plan consisting of the minimum and the maximum hourly rate, and/or annual salary. B. Identification of non - exempt and exempt classifications. -3 HOURS OF WORK / OVERTIME / COMPENSATORY TI A. Hours of Work Hours of work will be determined by the CRA Executive Director and shall be uniform for all employees and be determined in accordance with the needs of the services and operational needs of the CRA. Situations may arise that may require employees to work additional hours without notice. All employees are required to work additional hours when notified by the CRA Executive Director of the need to work. B. Overtime Overtime hours are hours actually worked by non - exempt employees in excess of a forty (40) hours per work week and must be authorized in advance by the CRA Executive Director before such overtime is permitted. Provisions of the FLSA shall be applied for non - exempt employees for overtime purposes. Hours that shall count towards overtime calculations only include those hours "actually" worked. Annual leave, sick leave, holiday pay, suspensions with pay, workers compensation leave, family medical leave, funeral leave, jury duty, annual military leave and other absences from work while in active pay status will not be counted as time actually worked for purposes of determining whether overtime has been worked in excess of forty (40) hours per week. C. Compensatory Time as Payment for Overtime Hours Worked 30 00344780 -1 Compensatory time in lieu of overtime payment for non - exempt employees can be awarded and earned at 1.5 hours for every hour of overtime worked above 40 hours in lieu of cash compensation in accordance with FLSA. Cash payments for overtime compensation may be authorized at the discretion of the CRA Executive Director. When exempt employees are required to work weekends for any reason other than those stated above, they shall receive compensatory time in lieu of overtime at 1.5 hours for every hour of overtime worked above 40 hours in lieu of cash compensation. Accruals of compensatory time for exempt and non- exempt employees may be accrued up to 240 hours and may be used by the employee provided reasonable notice has been given to the CRA. Accruals in excess of 240 hours will be forfeit. Upon separation the CRA will pay out the accrued compensatory time up to a maximum of 240 hours. Cash payments for overtime compensation may be authorized at anytime at the discretion of the CRA Executive Director- SECTION 05: EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS -1 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT: Employees may engage in outside employment during off -duty hours when such employment does not in any way interfere or create a potential conflict of interest with their CRA employment. An employee, who wishes to engage in any outside employment including self - employment, shall provide information concerning the proposed employment to the CRA Executive Director for approval prior to engaging in outside employment. 5 -2 CRA EQUIPMENT: The personal use of any CRA equipment, such as computers, tape recorders, cameras, tools, vehicles, etc., shall be prohibited unless otherwise approved in advance by the CRA Executive Director.

In accordance with Florida Statutes, as amended, employees are prohibited from engaging in certain types of political activities while either on or off duty. Employees, in their private capacities, may express their opinions on any political candidate or issue and/or participate in campaigns during their off -duty hours; however, they are prohibited from using their official authority or influence or appearance of doing so through the wearing of CRA uniforms or official attire, or in CRA vehicles while participating in political campaigns, for the purpose of aiding or interfering with an election or nomination, or coercing or influencing another person's vote or affecting the result thereof. No buttons, bumper stickers, pins, or any political signage shall be adhered to CRA vehicles, or worn during the workday while on the job, or worn on CRA official attire, or posted on or about CRA premises. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit an employee's right to engage in casual workplace discussions on social or political topics, so long as such discussions do not, in the judgment of management of the CRA, interfere with the orderly, peaceful, and efficient performance of assigned duties or with the valid exercise of authority of management. 5-5 RESIGNATION: Resignation is the voluntary separation of an employee from employment accomplished by serving a written notice expressing a decision to end employment with the CRA. Such written notice shall be deemed to be accepted immediately. An employee who wishes to leave in good standing shall provide at least two (2) weeks notice, before leaving. Resignations may be rescinded only with the written approval of the CRA Executive Director. All employees who have completed their probationary period and given two weeks written notice will receive their accumulated sick, vacation and compensatory time to date subject to the maximum accumulation times defined in this policy and reimbursement for as yet non - reimbursed expenses. Medical, dental, vision, and life /disability benefits will continue to be paid for in full by the CRA through the last day of the month following ninety (90) days after the effective date of resignation.

Employee absences for more than three (3) consecutive days due to national, state, or local emergencies will not require a doctor's certification. A Sick Leave Sharing Program is available for full -time employees who are absent from the workplace for an extended period of time due to an illness or accident and have depleted both their accrued sick leave time and accrued vacation time.

Employees exercising provisions of this section may continue their regular compensation through use of the employee's accrued sick, annual, and/or any otherwise authorized accumulated /credited leave time that has been earned /accrued by the employee and recorded by the CRA. Employees who do not return to work at or prior to the expiration of the allowable 1,280 hours will be deemed to have abandoned their position with the CRA. For proced to request an accommodation for disability, see se ction -7 above. 6 -8 LIFE INSURANCE: See section 6 -10 below. LEAVE WITHOUT : 48 00344780 -1 A regular full time exempt or regular non - exempt employee may be granted leave of absence without pay for a period not to exceed One Hundred Sixty (160) working days (1,280 hours) for illness, disability or other reasons. Such reasons, other than physician attended illness or disability, must be outlined in writing and submitted to the CRA Executive Director for review and approval or denial. Employees may not be employed elsewhere during an authorized Leave without Pay period of time. Such leave shall require the prior approval of the CRA Executive Director. Employees that are on approved leave of absence without pay will be responsible for paying the premiums and /or other established payroll deduction requirements for continuation of benefits. Employees will not continue to receive time accrual for any benefits during the duration of the Leave without Pay Period, except as may be provided for under State and /or Federal Law. 6 -10 MEDICAL DENTAL VISION LIFE INSURANCE: The CRA will offer regular full time employees medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage utilized by the City of Boynton Beach as defined in Resolution No. R06 -059 dated February 14, 2006 and as may be amended from time -to -time. The CRA will cover the cost for exempt and non - exempt full time employee insurances. The CRA employee will cover any additional cost for any additional coverage selected for spouse and /or children of the employee. All full time non - exempt and exempt employees are eligible for benefits the first day of the month following 30 calendar days from the employee's hire date. Part time, temporary, and emergency hire employees are not eligible for benefit coverage. Employees on approved leaves of absence must pay the non - subsidized rate for all insurances in effect during their leaves of absence. Upon either voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, benefit payments for medical, dental, vision, and life /disability will continue to be fully paid for by the CRA through the last day of the month following ninety (90) days after the date of employment termination. For example, if the last day of employment is January 15 benefits will be paid in full by the CRA through the last day of April, or April 30. Regular full time non - exempt and exempt employees that decline (opt out) of medical benefit coverage shall receive a 50% payment in lieu of the associated expense that would have been borne by the CRA. The 50% payment will be calculated using the current payment required by the CRA for employee only medical coverage and shall be included in the employee's bi- weekly pay. -11 RETIREMENT: 49 00344760 -1 All regular full time exempt and non - exempt employees will be eligible to participate in the CRA's 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan and 401(a) Profit Sharing Retirement Plan. The 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan is contributory on the part of the employee and is effective at the end of the employee's probationary period. The CRA will match employee contributions up to 5% of the employee's gross salary on an annual basis starting each fiscal year (October through September). The employee is 100% vested immediately upon the employee's achieving full employment status at the end of their probationary period. There is no match by the CRA if the employee elects NOT to participate in the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan. The 401(a) Lump Sum Employer Contribution Retirement Deferred Compensation Plan is non - contributory on the part of the employee. Eligibility for this contribution is based upon the employee's successful completion of the Initial Probationary Period. The amount of the Lump Sum Employer contribution, if granted, is based upon a Uniform Retirement Percentage as determined by the CRA Board and is administered by the CRA Plan Coordinator. Employee's that complete their probationary period during any month of the fiscal year will have the employer contribution prorated. By way of example, if an employee is eligible to receive $3,400.00 (based on an annual salary of $50,370.00) for a full year's employer lump sum contribution the employee will receive a prorated share of that amount for the months between the end of their probationary period and September 30 The employer's full contribution calculation will commence with the start of the next fiscal year. Eligible employees may receive profit sharing contributions regardless of whether they participate in the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan. Actual payment of contributions to the 401(a) Lump Sum Employer Contribution Plan is at the discretion of the CRA and may be made at any time during the fiscal year as determined by the CRA Plan Coordinator.

The purchase was made to preserve the viability of the local commercial fishing and diving industry in Boynton Beach which is diminishing because of the lack of affordable marina space due in part to the privatization of area marinas and the residential redevelopment of waterfront lands. To date, the CRA has invested over $9 million in Boynton Harbor Marina area improvements including the Boynton Beach Boulevard extension & Promenade walkway, acquisition of the marina & fuel dock facility, the slip and fuel dock reconstruction project, marina Tower entry feature project and Marina Master Redevelopment Plan design. Future marina redevelopment phases include the new Harbor Master building with public restrooms and waterfront public open space, marina open space, traffic flow enhancements and additional signage. In 2007, the CRA Board approved the use of an annual the dockage agreement along with the rules and regulations (see Attachment I) for those commercial marine tenants the CRA owned marina slips. The CRA Board approves an annual lease rate and also approves the rate of $16 per linear vessel foot. CRA staff is recommending that the current lease rate remain in effect for the proposed lease agreement. The proposed lease agreement includes additional language to support the CRA's enforcement of the 15 minute slip "loading & unloading" parking spaces. Due to the long term use of these spaces by slip tenants, customers and captains of the Two George's, operation of the marina is not functioning as intended. With Board approval, the CRA will continue to offer the fuel discount program to the Boynton Harbor Marina tenants and commercial vessels within the basin amounting to approximately $6,000 per year in discounted fuel savings. FISCAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval of the CRA FY 2014 -2015 Boynton Harbor Marina Dockage Lease Agreement and lease rate of $16.00 per vessel foot as well as offering the fuel discount program to the Boynton Harbor Marina tenants and commercial vessels within the marina basin.

SUMMARY: On November 14, 2008, the CRA and Arden and Sandra Gayle entered into a loan agreement for a 30 year deferred payment loan of $50,000.00 issued under the guidelines of the Homebuyer Assistance Program ( "HAP "). To secure the loan, Mr. and Mrs. Gayle executed a Third Mortgage in favor of the CRA which was recorded in Official Records Book 23084, Page 517 -519 of the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida ( "CRA Loan "). Mr. and Mrs. Gayle's property is encumbered by a first mortgage in the original principal amount of $161,986.00 in favor of Seaside National Bank. The property is also encumbered by a second mortgage in the original principal amount of $13,000.00 in favor of the City of Boynton Beach. The Gayles have applied for the refinancing of the first mortgage with Bank of America, N.A. Bank of America, N.A. has made a request to the City and CRA to subordinate their mortgage liens to Bank of America, N.A.'s loan agreement in the amount of $150,722.00 dollars. The City is requesting approval from the Board of Commissioners to subordinate their 2 " mortgage at the next City Commission Meeting on September 16, 2014. The Gayles are refinancing for the purpose of lowering their interest rate and monthly mortgage payment. The Gayles are not receiving any proceeds from the refinance of their first mortgage. The Subordination Agreement will be prepared by the CRA attorney once the CRA Board has approved this item. FISCAL IMPACT: None CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: Homebuyer's Assistance Program RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the subordination of the CRA's Third Mortgage and approve Chair Taylor to sign the subordination agreement once it has been prepared and provided by the CRA's attorney.

The reason I mentioned the appraisal is that the policy which was provided to me (City of Boynton Subordination policy) appears to require an appraisal for subordinations. I am not sure how concerned you are with following the policy. Since the CRA will in essence be in the same position once it approves the subordination (as a 3 rd mortgage) that it is currently in, it is probably a moot point. It appears that no other facts have changed since the CRA initially gave the mortgage -- relative to the property value. With that said, I believe a review and possible changes to the Subordination policy may be necessary to address similar situations. Julie.

Jennison [p .3,0to:l jennison,C Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 11:52 AM To: Utterback, Theresa Cc: Tara Duhy Subject: Boynton CPA - Gayle Subordination Hi Theresa, As we discussed on the phone, I have reviewed the Gayle Subordination documentation that was provided to us via email and I have the following comments: 3 1. The City of Boynton Beach — Community Improvement Division Subordination Agreement Policy ( "Policy ") which was provided for review requires the following information and documentation: a. A legal description of the property. The legal description is included on the Title Commitment. b. A copy of an appraisal be provided. I don't see that one has been provided. In order to satisfy the Subordination Agreement Policy, you should request a copy of the appraisal for the property. The Policy states the party requesting the subordination must provide the Community Improvement Division with a copy of an appraisal of the property. If no appraisal is provided, it would appear that a variance from the Policy would be required. c. A copy of the title commitment requesting or requiring subordination. The title commitment was provided and it identifies the Boynton CRA 3 rd mortgage as an exception to the title policy. d. A copy of the lenders Good Faith Estimate ( "GFE "). A copy has been provided. e. A copy of the lenders 1003 form or equivalent (Uniform Residential Loan Application). A copy has been provided. 2. Additionally, the Subordination Policy requires that subordination be granted only where the purpose is a refinance at a reduction of terms and rate or for a second mortgage for necessary home repairs or reasonable improvements to property. The Gayle's loan application identifies the purpose of their refinance as being for reduction of terms and rate. Their original mortgage was for $161,000, the amount of the new loan is $150,722. Therefore, the Gayle's appear to be simply refinancing their original mortgage and meet the Policy's guidelines and criteria relative to loan purpose. In regards to the appraisal, it is noted that while banks typically require an appraisal for a refinance, don't see any cost related to an appraisal on the Good Faith Estimate that the bank provided. This may be because on their loan application, the Gayle's stated that the 'original cost" of their property was $223,000 and the "amount of existing liens" is $150,707. Based on these statements, the bank may be assuming there is enough equity there to satisfy the new mortgage in the amount of $150,722. The loan application document is a little misleading as the 2" and 3 rd mortgages have been excluded from the "amount of existing lien" calculation. This may simply be because they are only refinancing the original mortgage. However, neither the Boynton CRA 3 rd mortgage nor the City of Boynton 2 nd mortgage are identified anywhere on the loan application and therefore are not figured into the current/future debt service of the borrowers. This omission may also provide an inflated expression of the equity in the property. Given the fact that no appraisal has been provided, and the 2 nd and 3 rd mortgages do not appear to figure into the bank's determination of the Gayle's ability to pay their new loan, I would caution the CRA not to go forward with the subordination until you have received and reviewed an appraisal for the property, or otherwise made a valuation determination. Lastly, it should also be noted that the CRA's mortgage is currently a 3 rd mortgage. With the requested subordination, the CRA's position will not change - you will still be in 3 rd position, subordinate to the refinanced mortgage in the same manner that you are currently subordinate to the existing 1 st mortgage. So bottom line is that nothing changes with the subordination. However, if you are concerned with following the City's policy as outlined above, I would still recommend asking for a copy of the appraisal. Please call or email me if you have any questions. 4 Sincerely, Julia Jennison Shareholder Lewis, Longman 8r Walker, P.A. 515 North Flagler Drive, Suite 1500 West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 liennison@liw-law.com (t) 561.640.0820 (c) 561.762.4730 (f) 561.640.8202 vard l Website I Bio Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. is proud to be an ABA -EPA Law office Climate Challenge Partner.

R14- Approve Subordination Agreement allowing for a subordination of the City's Mortgage for Arden & Sandra Gayle of 702 S.W. 2` Street, Boynton Beach, Florida, 33435, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Subordination Agreement. EXPLANATION F ST: Subordination is, by definition, the acceptance by a lender in first position on a mortgage of new charges, claims, or mortgages on a given property. In subordination the original lender loses its first, or priority position on the property and becomes the subordinate to the new charge, claim or mortgage. In this case, Arden & Sandra Gayle purchased their home through the City's First Time Homebuyer Program in 2009; their current mortgage was financed at that time with Seaside National Bank & Trust for $161,986 at 6.00 %, maturing in February of 2039. The Arden's want to refinance their home to a current 30 year, conventional mortgage in the amount of $150,722 at 4.75 %. This will reduce their monthly payment by $116.31. The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) holds a third mortgage in the amount of $50,000; their request for subordination of this mortgage was to be placed on the CRA's September agenda. HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES? There is no affect to City programs or services; the Arden's are merely taking advantage of a provident situation to lower their housing costs. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact, as the City's mortgage will retain second position. However, with today's financial climate, there is no assurance that the Arden's will be able to get this rate and term without acting as soon as possible. ALTERNATIVES: Not to subordinate the mortgage. i his instrument was prepared by; c F Iq 2 00 S1 41 0 5 4 - -1 — 5 The City Of Boynton Beach OR BH 23084 FIG 050D Post Office Box 310 RECORDED 02/18/2009 09 ; 4 � :53 Boynton Beach, Florida 33425-0310 P21m Beacli Courity, Flccridla Return to: Community Improvement AMT 13,000.00 Dec-d Doc 45. 50 Sharon R.

As housing prices climbed by double digits in 2005 -2006, many families were priced out of the housing market. The City of Boynton Beach receives State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) dollars to provide dmvil payment assistance to low and moderate income families. Due to rapid housing appreciation, the number of low and moderate income families who can afford to buy homes has decreased. In an effort to assist more families the CRA has implemented the Homebuyer Assistance Program. Program finds can be layered with the City's SHIP Down Payment Assistance Program to provide gap financing to families. If SHIP funds are unavailable, HAP funds can be used as the sole source of down payment assistance. The maximum HAP grant award to an eligible applicant is $50,000. Pro ra ter Guidelines I. Funding is on a first -come, first- approved basis. 2. Grant awards require CRA Board approval as pail of the application process and prior to the release of funding. Approved Grants must be expended within six months of CRA Board approval. Grant awards not expended within the six months timefia ne will be forfeited and the grant terminated. 3. Applicants must meet all of the qualification criteria of the Homebuyer's Assistance Progran3, Qualification of applicants will be conducted by CRA staff or a CommuE.tity Housing Development Organization (CHDO ).

CRA BOA" MEETING OF: SN CRA September 9, 2014 I sent Agenda I I Old B usiness I X New Business I I Lega I I ter SUB J E C T : Review of CRA's Property Acquisition Relocation Policy SUMMARY Attached for discussion and review is a proposed procedure for relocation assistance to the owners of property in which the CRA is interested in acquiring as part of an existing CRA plan or for new projects in which privately owned land needs to be acquired. The procedures are based on the current relocation procedures of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) FISCAL IMPACT: None CRA PLAN, PROGRAM OR PROJECT: CRA Plan RE COMM ENDATI O NS: Approve the CRA's property acquisition relocation policy. Vivian Brooks Executive Director BOYNTON "CRA BEACH RELOCATION ASSISTANCE TO OWNERS DISPLACED FROM THEIR Introduction This is a description of the CRA's relocation payments and other reiocaton assistance. It includes any family or individual that must move as a direct result of rehabilitation, demolition or acquisition for a CRA project_ Sjummary of Relocation Assistance Payment for Moving Expenses. You may choose either a: • Payment for Your Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses, or • Fixed Moving Expense and Dislocation Allowance. Replacement Housing Assistance. To enable you to rent, or if you prefer, buy a comparable or suitable replacement home, you may choose either: • Rental Assistance, or Purchase Assistance. What Is A Comparable Replacement Home? A comparable replacement home is: • Decent, safe, and sanitary. • Functionally equivalent to (and equal or better than) your present home. • Actually available for you to rent. Affordable. • Reasonably accessible to your place of employment. • Generally as well located with respect to public and commercial facilities, such as schools and shopping, as your present home. • Not subject to unreasonable adverse environmental conditions. • Available to all persons regardless of race. color, religion, sex, or national origin. What is Decent, Safe, and Sanitary Housing? Decent, safe, and sanitary housing is housing that: • Meets applicable housing and occupancy requirements. • Is structurally sound, weather tight, and in good repair_ • Contains a safe, adequate electrical wiring system. • Has adequate living space for the occupants. • Has a kitchen with a sink, hot and cold running water, and connections for a stove and refrigerator (if you were displaced from a housekeeping unit). • Has a separate, complete bathroom with hot and cold running water. • Has heating as required by climatic conditions. • Has an unobstructed exit to safe, open space at ground level. • Meets standards protecting occupants from lead -based paint hazards. • If you are physically handicapped, is free of any barriers which would preclude your reasonable use of the unit. What Is a Payment For Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses? You may choose to receive a relocation payment to cover the reasonable cost of your move. if you choose a Payment For Actual Reasonable Moving And Related Expenses, you may include in your claim the reasonable and necessary costs for: • Transportation for you and your family. • Packing, moving and unpacking your household goods. • Disconnecting and reconnecting household appliances and other personal property (e.g., telephone and cable TV). • Storage of household goods, as may be necessary. • Insurance for the replacement value of your property during the move and necessary storage. • The replacement value of property lost, stolen or damaged in the move (but not through your neglect) if insurance is not reasonably available. The CRA will explain all eligible moving costs, as well as those which are not eligible. You must be able to account for any costs that you incur, so keep all your receipts. Select your mover with care. You may elect to pay your moving costs yourself and be repaid by the CRA or, if you prefer, you may have the CRA pay the mover_ In either case, let the CRA know before you move. What Is A Fixed Moving Expense And Dislocation Allowance? If you choose a Fixed Moving Expense and Dislocation Allowance, you will receive an allowance which is based on the number of rooms in your home or the number of rooms of furniture you will be moving, as shown on a schedule. The CRA has a coov of the schedule and will help you decide whether choosing this allowance is in your best interest. If you do not have a large amount of personal property to move, this payment should be more advantageous. No special documentation is required to support your claim. You need only move your personal property and complete the appropriate claim form in order to receive your payment. Based on the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 — Fixed Residential Moving Cost Schedule (2012) for the State of Florida: Occupant owns Occupant does not own furniture furniture State Number of rooms of furniture 1 Addt'I room no furn. addt' room 1 2 3 4 5 fi 7 $ I fno roo room room room room room room rooms room furn. m s s s s s s Florida 550 700 875 1050 1200 1350 1500 1650 � 00 1 450 125 How e h Rental Assistance Will l Receive? You may be eligible to receive Rental Assistance for a 12 -month period. The assistance is computed in the following manner: The assistance needed for one month is determined by subtracting the "base monthly rent" for your present home from the cost of rent and utilities for your new home (or a comparable replacement home, if that cost is lower). That monthly need, if any, is multiplied by 12, to determine the total amount that you will receive. This amount will be paid directly to you. However, the CRA may elect to provide the assistance in monthly installments or other periodic payments. Generally, the base monthly rent for your present home is the lesser of: (1) the monthly rent and average monthly cost for utilities, or (2) thirty (30) percent of your average monthly gross household income. Examples: Let's say that the monthly rent and average cost for utilities for your present home are $250; the monthly rent and estimated average utility costs for a comparable replacement home are $350; and your monthly gross income is $700. In this case your "base monthly rent" would be $210 because that amount (30 percent of your income) is less than the monthly cost of rent and utilities at your present home ($250). -- If you rent a replacement home for $360 per month, including estimated average monthly utility charges, you will receive $1,680. That amount is 12 times $140 (the difference between the "base monthly rent' for your present home ($210) and the cost for a comparable replacement home ($350)). If you rent a replacement home for $310, including estimated average monthly utility charges, you will receive $1,200. That amount is 12 times $100 (the difference between the "base monthly rent" for your present home ($210) and the actual cost of your new home ($310)). To qualify for rental assistance, you must rent and occupy a decent, safe, and sanitary home within one year after the date you move. However, the CRA will extend this period for good cause. i 4. s , BOYNTON"'! .! � CRA BOA" MEETING OF's September 9, 2014 I Consent Agenda I I Old Busine ( ( New Busi Legal ter SUBJECT: New Businesses in the CRA District SUMMARY The CRA district welcomes S new businesses to the area during the months of July and August.
