Report on Casa Costa Direct Incentive Funding Agreement Compliance Ms. Brooks explained this incentive was in place for the project formerly known im ft Promenade. This was the halfway mark of the 10-year agreement that has been amended several times. The only thing they were required to do was to attempt to lease 1,930 square feet of commercial space at below market value. They achieved that and leased Cross Fit well below market value. They have two building permits for the gym and another for a European Deli. They are also in negotiations for an Argentinian Steakhouse. They are making great strides. There is direct access from thEr parking garage. One issue had been parking, which was contained in the DIrA for the commereW P6W use which is being used by the residents.

Brooks explained it was because there was nothing to stop them legally. Thw ro terms of the DIFA, by attempting to lease property. Mr. Buchanan agreed with Vicql Chair Casello about the progress of the building. He recognized it was under different owners, but for two or three years he had suggested they may not have been operating in good faith, which would have allowed the Board to not pay the IFA. With the new owners and their efforts, it appeared something will happen. He suggested monitoring the matter. It was J6 much brighter scenario and he thanked the Related Group for their efforts. Mr. McCray inquired if they foresaw any problems and Mr. Fortenbury responded he did not. The economy and area was also improving. Press releases issued by the CRA helped and there has been a significant increase in activity over the last 30 to 60 days. Additionally, businesses opening are eligible for CRA Build-Out Grants. Mr. Hay inquired about swipe badges to doors in the commercial areas. Mr. Fortenbury explained they are left locked, but during businesses hours, they are open. C. Consideration of Letter of Interest from Gardner Capital for CRA Owned Property Along the Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Corridor Ms. Brooks reviewed the first letter of interest from Gardner Capital before Thanksgiving and an updated letter last week. Gardner Capital was looking to purchase CRA property on OLD, subject to receiving a 9% tax credit allocation. About 3.2 acres would be used for multi-family homes with neighborhood commercial on the north side of MLK. This would bookend with the Family Dollar store. Gardner Capital was offering $1 million for the property. Ms. Brooks reviewed the value of the properties and what the CRA paid. Some properties were purchased in conjunction with other properties not listed on the spreadsheet and those properties could not be separated out. The total paid was $2.179 million, and some of the properties acquired were already in the model block. Ms. Brooks noted tax credits anp 1p �. ­ — and only one project in Palm each County would be funded. If awd*&o1Nk* Vwo would be the Family Dollar store, neighborhood commercial uses, JW six blocks of the Model Block program would be completed.

Mr. Fitzpatrick asked for further information on the project. Allan S*Mohw NoWlimill Wo Illoard and advised he was the former Housing and Commurft I COKor for Palm Beach County.

Mr. Merker inquired about a maintenance program when the project is complete and learned it will have a security system and video surveillance. Each year, it is inspected, and it must be maintained to high standards. IP Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida December 10, 2014 Mr. Fitzpatrick agreed about the need for affordable housing, but noted the trend is often concentrated in certain communities. He thought units costing $30 or $40 thousand dollars would not boost the tax base the City needle to provide for future services. Higher incomes were needed. He asked if rents could be increased. Mr. Schmer responded they could increase rent as incomes levels rise, up to $65,000. The first tenants have to comply with the tax credit guidelines. After that, they can increase the renis, but they cannot throw tenants out. There is no subsidy involved it is strictly a private sector project targeting the middle income school teachers and working class population. Mr. Fitzpatrick also noted there is no food market within walking distance and the northeast corner of MILK was discussed as a place for a food market. He queried if the project came to fruition, where it would be located. Ms. Brooks responded they were advised neighborhood commercial must go on the first floor on the corner. Mr. Mack explained the CRA was established for blighted areas, and District 11 is one of the most blighted areas in the City. Whatever comes would be a plus.

Consideration of Request from the Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce for Special Event Grant Funding in the Amount of $10,000 for the Boynton each Red Hot Festival (This item was approved earlier in the meeting as Item A.) E. Discussion of Marina Village Parking Garage Management is Dunstan, 321 BE 15 th Avenue, Pompano Beach, explained he took over the property two years ago. He reviewed the parking garage issue and two case studies from the Urban Institute regarding crime prevention in parking garages. Plan A, for a three-year term, would cost $215,000, and the cost would be passed on to all the Associations involved, increasing everyone's rent in the Marina District because the Marina District is part of the Master Association through the budget process. 10 Minutes nity Redevelopment Agency Board Beach, Florida j 2014 N* 11114ruary 20 Mr. Dunstan met with Chief Katz who advised he would step up The garage is a private entity and he could not enter into a traffic agreement. It vu %aBested signs be posted for 25 mph. Parking Enforcement could issue tickets, &A it is a private entity, owned by the Master Association, the tickets would be The case studies show that just adding security does not solve the issue. It A"& " a combination of a video and personnel. The Master Association decided tM il I video system, at a cost of $80,000 on December 15 th . He owi'ked with Milo Fj" 01 determine a way to do this without burdening all the associations in the MariM UdrA and they came up with a hybrid methodology with Dockside Valet to mmq= ft garage. This would not be a valet service. It would be someone to control 1:116 pWMkq and traffic flow from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at night and then towing would corn nmrm Ot III a.m. Most of the incidents occur between 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Mr. Dunstan had documents and photographs about the type of activities occurring in the garage. The solution would be a $5 a day charge handled by the valet company. The Association would not make a profit and the valet company expressed this would pay for itself. Any increase over that amount would have to be reviewed by the master association. Vice Chair Casello inquired if the CRA had assigned spaces, and if the valet company could charge for them. Attorney Spillias pointed out the public that uses the spaces would be charged. Vice Chair Casello inquired about having tickets validated to ensure parking was used for legitimate purposes. Mr. Dunstan responded that would be an option, and the cost of labor would have to be covered and passed on to the CRA. Vice Chair Casello explained the CRA pays the Association $24K a year. He was concerned $5 would not be enough. He learned the finale contract could include language with a "not to exceed" percentage increase each year. He supported parking at no charge and did not think the valets would cure the matter. Mr. Dunstan reiterated it was a combination of surveillance and personnel. The cost would be $215,000 with a 3.5% increase each year. The Association would pass that cost to the CRA, which would eventually pass to the Marina slip owners through rent. Attorney Spillias also explained the CRA was represented on the Association, and the Board could not stop the Association from charging, Mr. Fitzpatrick commented it might have been better for the City to build their own parking lot, Ms. Brooks clarified there was a tri-partied agreement as a result of a lawsuit between the City, the Related Group and Two Georges. When they purchased the Marina, there was no DIFA involved. The CRA did not spend one dime on the project. When they bought the waterfront parcel, the tri-partied agreement limited the building to 1,500 square-feet. The CRA purchased it with the intent to have a marina use and with that parcel came the assigned spacel in the garage. It was never intended to be public parking, 11 ■ Meeting EM40111 Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida 10, 2014 The CRA owns 17 commercial = ftmwft =a PM eVa V§mW mmidents and employees of Two Georges pa ill 11 ryg#V1614 MA tenants have no parking. Her goal, sin mN "ANWOL 15 1111tornote the Marina, is to provide parking. 1F11VXVa ali 0 t %vd up with restaurant employees. Mr. Hay estimated the emp1byees of Two Georges and Banana Boat use 50 spaces. He asked if the $5 would be a deterrent to weed out people. Mr. Dwnston responded it was not. It was the cost to pay three people to manage parking. The valets were from Dockside Valet, who also handled parking for Two Georges, Vice Chair Casello noted half of the CRA parking spaces are used by restaurant employees and a combination of employees, and illegal activities such as the sale or use of drugs, sex and loitering. The top floor has 100 spaces not being used, that are owned by the Related Group. Ms. Brooks and Mr. Simon sit on the Board and they favor the charge. The cost for three people in the garage during season was about $54K Ms. Brooks spoke to Steve Skaggs who owns a 64 space, off -site parking lot just south of Ocean Avenue, which was more than he needed for his employees, CA tenants and employees from Banana Boat. He was willing to work with the CRA regarding parking there and those individuals would not have to cross Ocean Avenue. Each captain, including the Sea Mist, will receive a pass for free parking within the garage, but other employees would have to park offsite. The CHA contemplated the issue to accommodate their businesses that do riot have parking. The CRA can subsidize the entire cost for three people to manage the garage which would be an ongoing cost each year, or charge the $5. Ms. Brooks did not think it would be a deterrent for the average visitor. It was a departure from what the CRA has done in the past, but in congested areas, paying for parking is the norm. This would only occur during season and weekends, not every day or all the time. Mr. McGray inquired if the business owners were made aware of the parking for employees. Ms. Brooks explained they will have a captains meeting next week. Chair Taylor opened the item for public comments and the following individuals spoke in opposition to the charge. Dean Vafw, Vp vvU &rw Jpom Lake Worth, opposed the charge and thmsJU S M was a s rds should be used.

He was unsure about the legality of cha - - - - GSA's allocated parkin spots, or - charging the public. Craig art, owner of the Starfish Enterprise Dive Boat, thought three security guards to monitor the parking was too many and he contended imposing a parking fee would cost operators 10% to 20% of what they make a day. He agreed with the comments made by Mr. Metz, and hoped he and Mr. Metz would not have find somewhere else to go.

Captain Karen Stroshein Pratt, 128 Neptune Drive, Hypoluvo, of Gene Ill, advised parking fee would hurt their business and customers. Mr. Merker returned to the dais at 8;19 pm. Kim Kelly, owner of Hurricane Alley, explained if the Association worked with restaurants, they would find a place to put their employees. She commented the CRA gave broken promises and business owners were led to believe there would be free things. Other areas charge for parking, but they have viable downtowns.
