children. Ms. Peterman would continue with the next five highest schools until all the
students are helped. These children are bounced around and do not have anything to

Post. During the mayoral debate at Hunters Run, Commissioner Merker commented
the City was in a financial crisis. Mr. Katz noted the budget information for an agenda
item indicated there was a surplus. Mr. Katz contended if Commissioner Merker feels
the City is in dire straits, he should pay back the $760 that was spent for him to go to
Tallahassee that he did not attend.
Mark Crompton, Community Sciences LLC, 900 N. Ocean Boulevard, Pompano
Beach, representing KMG explained KMG owns six lots. They wanted to combine the

Heart of Boynton area and commended Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works, for
trimming overgrowth and timely attending to complaints. He spoke about the Lena
Rahming Head Start Center. In 2010, the Center had a 51% rating preparing children
for school. A new teacher that began in 2013/2014 helped the Center raise the rating to
94% and he thought the City should notice they are doing a great job. He announced
the Robert E. Wells Celebration on Saturday, February 16 and Robert E. Wells Day on

the League of Women Voters on Thursday, February 25, 2016, at 5 p.m. at Sterling
Village to get the opinions of those running for office. The event will be followed by a
meet and greet in the back of the room. He also announced the formation of the
Boynton Coalition for Responsible Development, a Non - profit Corporation. The mission
is to work with the City Commission, the Planning and Development Board, the CRA
and the developers of River Walk Plaza at the intersection of Woolbright Road and
Federal Highway. The goal is to provide the citizens with a development that addresses
the concerns of its citizens before decisions are made. They will work with the Florida
Coalition for Preservation, their friends and neighbors and the City in a transparent way.
Kristin Dehaseth, 4600 N. Ocean Boulevard, Executive Director, Florida Coalition for
Preservation, a non - profit group to promote responsible development and preserve the
quality of life in coastal communities explained they were contacted by several condo,
homeowner associations and single - family residents in the nearby area, seeking
information about the proposed River Walk rezoning and residential high tower. As a
public interest group they are working to gather all the details of the project. She
commended the CRA and the Planning and Zoning staff for being responsive to their
public records requests. The Coalition for Preservation will work to ensure the property
will be an asset to all.
Harry Woodworth, 685 NE 15 Place, commented INCA supports BIG. He also
praised City staff for their follow up on Federal Highway. There were a number of
dilapidated properties and the City's involvement with Code Compliance has been
impressive. There are several drainage issues in INCA and the follow -up was also
impressive. He announced the parking problem by U -Haul has been resolved. Mr.
Woodworth noted Boynton Beach has a HACK Lab which is a technology oriented -
training institute where anyone can learn for next to nothing. He thought it should be
connected to the Schoolhouse Children's Museum.
Dominique Natale, 10143 Boynton Place Circle, explained she was thankful to the
City Commission for their service. They serve children with special needs and were

moved from Broward County to Boynton Beach because of crime. She purchased a
new home in April and her neighbor behind her, in 10 days, was robbed five times. She
has complained and emailed requesting the area be cleaned up. She thought it was
offensive. There are drug rehab centers on her street. She sees characters walking the
street at night and commented something had to be done. She was unsure the City
Commission was aware of the situation. He noted her brother had an addiction
problem, but he received treatment in a proper facility.

CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
Dr. Piotr Blass, 113 W. Tara Lakes Drive, commended Abbey Peterman and
suggested providing temporary housing for homeless children and working with Abby's
Angels. He understood concerns about fear and robbery and thought the Police

A. Hear presentation from Rick Gonzalez, REG Architects on Old High
School restoration project.
Commissioner McCray commented there was a committee created to save the Old High
School. He asked how much money was raised and learned the amount was about
$5,000.
Rick Gonzales, President REG Architects, 300 Clematis Street, commented he had
met with each Commissioner and would summarize his presentation. He explained he
has been involved with this type of work for 30 years and preservation requires
community support. He appreciated being given the time to develop a viable, economic
approach to sustainability and preservation. There would four partners which were the
City of Boynton Beach, the CRA, REG Architects and Straticon Construction, their
contractor and investor.
Jeff Hardin, Straticon Construction and REG Architects will handle the majority of the
work and they had been working with others on a master plan.
Mr. Gonzales commented historic buildings are often green buildings and he thought it
would be easy to obtain a green building designation for the Old High School.
Mr. Gonzales commented they have experience working with CRA Districts and
Straticon and REG had worked on projects for the Seminole Indians, Trump National
Golf Clubs in Jupiter, Doral and West Palm Beach, and historic Gulfstream Goodwill
Apartments for the homeless.
Straticon is a family -owned business in existence for 25 years, with 50 employees and
four locations. Jeff Hardin, Straticon Chief Executive Officer, is experienced with
preservation, construction and governmental projects, and had worked on notable
project such as the Versace Mansion in South Beach, various hotels such as Pestana
and the Alexander Lofts. REG Architects has worked on the 1916 Palm Beach County
Courthouse, Mar -a -Lago, Harriet Himmel Theatre, Trump National Golf Club, Lake
Worth Beach Casino and the International Polo Equestrian. Mr. Gonzales reviewed
several other historic projects he worked on and explained he hoped the project would
help develop the western downtown area and create a gateway to the areas to the north
and west, stimulating new investments and jobs. He expressed the project would
generate tourism, increase sales for local businesses and create a pedestrian - friendly
cultural campus, generating foot traffic. Mr. Gonzales expressed there would be activity
nodes and outdoor activities with adjacent City cultural assets that would reinforce the
area's historic character and help rebrand downtown Boynton Beach.

Mr. Gonzales pointed out the location was four blocks from 1 -95 on a historic main street
connecting to the Marina. He looked at existing uses in the area and prior studies. The
building is flexible and the hallway and stairwells are wide.
The first phase would be to restore the Old High School to National Historical Landmark
status and Mr. Gonzales commented the City already has two National Landmarks. He
noted Boynton Beach achieved Certified Local Government status. The site plan would
respect the Kapock tree and recreate walkway and fountain features that had previously
existed. Phase I would encompass resurfacing the existing parking lot and he noted the
location is within walking distance of an additional 200 parking spaces. The conceptual
design was discussed with the Recreation and Parks Director. The first floor could have
four retail spaces and they hoped to have a small cafe to generate activity. They could
have a small brewery or retail establishment selling Boynton Beach items. The building
would also have City spaces and area for art galleries. All four staircases would be
restored to their original condition and they would add a handicapped access.
Bathrooms would be refurbished and they could have a check in space for children's
activities the City currently offers across the street. There could be a Tots and Mom
space, piano lessons, karate and dance, children's art classes, after school programs
and teen spaces and more.
The second floor could accommodate CRA offices along the front of the building and art
gallery space. The largest draw to the project would be to use the gymnasium and
bleachers for an indoor green market. The space could be used for mid -sized concerts
and can seat 600 to 700 people. The Old High School is also centered between West
Palm Beach and Boca Raton, making it a convenient location to access.
Mr. Gonzales explained the building could stabilize the Town Square project, and they
used the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council plan, overlaid with the high school.
The 15 -acre project had mixed uses. It created an urban environment and would be a
catalyst for an urban downtown. Sketches of the project from Phase I were viewed.
Jeff Hardin, Straticon Construction Services, explained Straticon is a family -owned
business, and they renovate, redevelop and construct buildings. He appreciated the
community putting their passion into saving a landmark project. He and Mr. Gonzales
worked on several projects together. They toured the facility and Straticon decided to
invest in the project and finance the development in its entirety. Straticon is a financially
viable company and they put together a financial pro forma. The project is a $6 million
project. Straticon assembled their vendors, subcontractors and others who are
experienced in restoration of historic buildings and they studied the concept that was
presented.
Mr. Hardin commented they met with each Commissioner this week, and they are
requesting the City make an initial contribution and investment of $1.5 million dollars.
Straticon and the development team would finance the rest of the funds to restore the
building.

CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 2, 2016
Straticon will request the City and CRA lease a portion of the building. Straticon's plan
also included retail areas on the ground floor in the front of the building. A 10 -year and
20 -year lease proposal had been prepared, and Mr. Hardin requested they begin
negotiations that would address the needs of the City and cost implications. The
building will revert back to the City at the end of the lease period.
Commissioner Merker disclosed he met with Messrs. Gonzales and Hardin, and he
applauded those trying to preserve history.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick asked about ownership of the land and Mr. Hardin explained
under the lease agreement, Straticon would renovate the building, the City would
contribute $1.5 million and lease it at slightly over $300,000 a year for 20 years and the
completely restored building would revert back to City ownership at the end of the lease.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick thought a deed transfer pertained to the Historic Tax Credits.
There was also a long -term lease option for 39 years, but it could revert back after 20
years. He clarified they need counsel in this area.
Commissioner McCray requested Attorney Cherof discuss a reminder notice about the
Old High School. Attorney Cherof explained it was a notice that while considering this
project, a prior project was initiated by Mr. Contin from the Old Boynton School
Partnership. The City Commission cancelled the project and there was a pending
lawsuit. Commissioner McCray asked if the litigation would prevent them from moving
forward and learned it would not.
Commissioner Merker thought the litigation was even more reason to move forward
because a final determination has not been made and the additional research could
come in time with a final decision from the Court.
Commissioner McCray requested a timeline be given. Mr. Gonzales explained they
would work with City staff over the next 30 to 90 days to determine the financial, legal
and technical components of the project. The consultants would review the tax credits
and other financial matters, and they would refine the floor plans with the Recreation
and Parks, Historic Preservation and Building Departments. Mr. Hardin advised he is
ready to immediately fence the property when an agreement is reached, and Mr.
Gonzales hoped to waterproof the building before hurricane season starts on June 1St
The rest of the year, they would seek to obtain historic preservation, planning and
zoning and building department approvals, and final construction documents. He hoped
construction would commence by Christmas 2017. Mr. Hardin expressed there was
much that could be done that does not require construction documents and permits and
there are safety issues and others that need to be addressed almost immediately.
Mayor Taylor liked the plan and complimented Messrs. Gonzales and Hardin and their
team on the work. He has always believed in preservation, but the obstacle was the
financing. Since Straticon was willing to commit $4.5 million dollars, the project is a
public /private partnership. The City would make an investment in the project, but Mayor
Taylor wanted to ensure the City performed its financial due diligence.

Vice Mayor Casello commended Mr. Gonzales for developing the plan without any cost
to the City. He asked about the lease payments of $300,000 per year, with a cost of
living increase of 3% per year. He noted after 20 years, the City would be paying $11.7
million. Mr. Hardin commented it would be a combination of City and CRA funds
including the $1.5 million.
Vice Mayor Casello asked about the value of the asset. Mr. Hardin explained the value
of the asset is now zero. After investing $6 million on the restoration, he appreciated the
amount over the lease term of 20 years at 3% per year. The building could be paid off
at an accelerated pace and had a 10 -year option. Vice Mayor Casello commented he
favored the project and it all came down to the financing.
Mr. Hardin commented the financing was in place and they were ready to move forward.
Commissioner Merker commented the project preserves the City's history and the City's
future.
Attorney Cherof explained some kind of motion is needed to move forward on a
temporary basis, to do the analysis and direct staff to participate in the process.
Motion
Vice Mayor Casello so moved. Commissioner Merker seconded the motion.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue to public comment.
Gillian Davis, 1037 Coral Drive, a resident since 1957, was horrified at the thought of
losing the Old High School. She commented it was the center of social activities in the
60's and 70's and she held dance classes and recitals there.
Steven Grant, 136 NE 3 Avenue, mayoral candidate, was glad the City Commission
reconsidered its stance on demolishing the Old High School. He requested the City
Commission consider a community benefit agreement and the developer provide a
deposit because there were instances when the City and CRA gave money and the
developer did not follow through on its obligation or filed for bankruptcy. Commissioner
McCray noted the $1.5 million contribution would be made in payments.
Lisa Fuller Bradbury, 635 Casa Loma Boulevard, was excited about the project. She
pointed out the popular Arts Garage in Delray Beach may lose their lease. She
suggested that organization may be a good fit for the Old High School.
A woman who did not identify herself was present supporting those in favor of
preserving the Old High School. The group worked very hard and she thanked the City
Commission.

Colleen Paulhas, Gulfstream, Florida, frequents the Schoolhouse Children's
Museum, commented there was no better partner than REG and she liked their plans.
She proposed they consider leasing or selling part of the building to C -Star, a school
committed to Waldorf Education located in Boca Raton.
Debbie Lytle, 1700 SW 14 th Avenue, a Boynton Beach resident since 1952 attended
the Old High School. She commented it is a piece of the past and would like to see it
maintained.
Sharon Koscot, Art Deco Society of Palm Beach, thanked Messrs. Gonzales and
Hardin for their proposal. The Commissioners created a legacy and will be remembered
as the City Commission that saved the Old High School. She pointed out all art
buildings are housed in historic structures. She thanked the City Commission and was
proud to be at the meeting.
Nicole Ants, 307 SW 13 th Avenue, was glad the City Commission decided to save the
school. She requested the City Commission reverse their vote to demolish the Old High
School Attorney Cherof advised procedurally they could not because there was nothing
on the agenda to demolish the building.
Dr. Piotr Blass, 113 W. Tara Lakes Drive, thanked Mr. Gonzales for saving the
Himmel Theater. Dr. Blass commented he wants to have the University of Boynton in
the building and he wanted to be clear when the building is restored there will be lecture
halls, computers and labs there. He would pay for the space if needed.
Dr. Blass urged caution about committing millions of dollars with an election coming up
in a few weeks. He thought the idea of leasing a building back that the City already
owned must be financially reviewed. He thought the Old High School was the most
valuable property in the City.
Alan Hendricks, 122 SE 4 th Avenue, thanked Mr. Gonzales and noted the Community
Caring Center incubator program was packed. If the incubator were housed in the Old
High School, there would be a lot of grants available.
Vice Mayor Casello appreciated the ideas put forth and thought they should be
explored.
Commissioner McCray commented if they build it, they will come and if renovated, the
building would be used.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick thought the $300,000 per year was tough and asked if there
were any offsetting costs from the Civic Center since the programs would be held in the
Old High School. He also inquired if there was needed maintenance for the Civic
Center that should be considered.

CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 2, 2016
Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works and Engineering, explained staff would
have to look at the building where those programs are currently held and determine
maintenance costs. Commissioner Fitzpatrick wanted to know if there would be a major
renovation cost for the Civic Center and learned there were and they were contained in
the Capital Improvement Plans. Commissioner Fitzpatrick inquired if there were any
expenses associated with the Art Center and learned there would be minimal
maintenance costs over the next five years. If the programs at the Art Center are
moved, staff must determine what space they would use and if they could use the land
for other private development.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick thought the $300,000 may be difficult to overcome. There
was talk about raising the millage rate to cover the $300,000 and he could not support
it. There were other items more important to fund such as replacing worn out sanitation
trucks or funding the P25 radio system or other unfunded programs. He mentioned the
item is not a vote to save the Old High School; it is to save the Old High School for 90
days. Forty -five days after the election, things could change. He pointed out the City
Commission authorized him investigating a land acquisition from the County, and when
he did, the vote did not favor the acquisition. There is also the lawsuit with Juan Contin.
Three weeks before he was to execute the paperwork, the deal was pulled.
Commissioner Merker agreed with Commission Fitzpatrick and thought it was good they
were giving Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Hardin time to do what was needed. Commissioner
Merker agreed there is a pension problem, but there is a united Commission wanting
the project to move forward.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick inquired if the project had to be bid. Attorney Cherof
responded it did not at this point, but it depended on what was submitted to them to
review and they would evaluate that aspect.
Mayor Taylor commented they have been talking with several developers about the
entire Town Square and developers were waiting to see what would occur with the Old
High School. He thought once the fate of the Old High School is made known, several
plans would be submitted.

REMINDER
OId High School
The City is still a Defendant in a breach of contract lawsuit filed by the
previous person /partnership to be designated by the City to
redevelopment and renovate the Old High School.
Boynton OId School Partnership, LLC (Juan Contin) recently had its
Second Amended Complaint dismissed but the Court has allowed the
Plaintiff another chance to amend its case against the City. After the
Amended Complaint is filed in a few weeks, I will be requesting a closed
door session with the Commission to discuss the litigation.
