CRA October Meeting Scheduled for Monday, October 10, 2016 @ 6:30 pm, City Hall E. Florida Redevelopment Association (FRA) Annual Conference F. Minutes — CRAAB Special Meeting 7/21/16 G. Minutes — CRAAB Meeting 8/4/16 XI. Public Comments: (Note: comments are limited to 3 minutes in duration) Reverend Bernard Wright, 713 NW 2 nd Street, explained there was a meeting last night and wanted it to be clear that most of the Boynton Beach Coalition of Clergy does not live in Boynton Beach and they do not speak authoritatively for his children. He wanted the City Commission to recognize him as a community advocate and when they make decisions about the neighborhood, he be included in the discussion because the City Commission has not been in office long enough to know what his people need. He contended the City Commission curtailed their culture by taking away the baseball diamonds, and diving boards and they do not have the opportunity to be Olympians in diving or baseball. Rev. Wright commented there are others that need to be recognized in the City that were productive to the growth and the development of the City. He contended Ms. Brooks and others who do not live in the Heart of Boynton should have no decision making authority regarding what the community needs there. Rev. Wright wanted to see a better Boynton, and did not want youth to die young or go to prison because they have nothing to engage in. He questioned spending $400,000 for a property that cost $200,000 last year and disagreed on spending the money on a dog park, and not when Sara Sims Park looks the way it does. He reiterated his interest in being invited to neighborhood meetings. Kim Kelley, Hurricane Ally, 529 E. Ocean Avenue, thanked the CRA Board for the grant they awarded her to hold the Summer Sizzle in late July. They had more than 2,000 people attend that included over five acts, fire dancers, jugglers, stilt walkers, DJ's and kids interactions. She thanked the CRA and staff for their continued support of businesses along Ocean Avenue. She hoped to hold the event every year. Pastor Richard Dames, President of the Boynton Beach Coalition of Clergy, thanked Ms. Brooks, Chair Grant. Vice Chair McCray, Ms. Romelus and 150 citizens who attended a community meeting at New Disciples Worship Center. He commented the meeting informed and engaged residents working with elected officials and governmental bodies on what makes cities great. On behalf of the parishioners they represent and from community input that was heard, they asked the Board to delay 5 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 voting on the Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) until the next meeting. If not, they suggested the following amendments: ➢ Make the CBA a true partnership between the developer and the community by changing signors to the Faith Based CDC and the Boynton Beach Coalition of Clergy; or ➢ Add Boynton Beach Coalition of Clergy and the Faith Based CDC as signors with the CRA. They would like to see the CBA be included in City and CRA development agreements with a stipulation for permitting having parties to sign off acknowledging developer's compliance with the CBA; and ➢ If there are any modular changes to the CBA, the developer must come back to the governing body for review. Mr. Katz announced he would have been at the meeting had he been informed. If another meeting is held, he would attend. Vice Chair McCray recognized Bishop Sylvester Banks and his son from Bible Church of God and his Pastor. Martin Stroud, 132 NE 13 Avenue, advised one cannot rest at night or get through the streets. If someone reports someone, the information about the complainant is given. There is a park by a canal is clean enough. Sometimes the bank is cut, but at the water line there are coconuts, baskets and debris. He thought the residents living there were littering and they should do something about it. He thought it did not make sense to give residents half of something, and not take care of it and they were tired of getting half. He requested the Commission help the community help them. He did not want to be threatened by calling the Police and the police advise who called. Gloria Goolsby, 327 Boynton Bay Circle, was concerned about a bus stop on NE 4th Street between Gateway and 15 Avenue. They changed the bus route and there are no sidewalks. There are there is a funeral home on the east side of NE 4 and the trees are so overgrown no one can walk there. Most mornings she gets up early because the young children are walking in the street and traffic is racing. If the trees were cut back it would help youth access the actual sidewalk. Vice Chair McCray requested Ms. LaVerriere and Colin Groff take note of the issue. No one else coming forward, Public Comments was closed. XII. Public Hearing: None XIII. Old Business: 6 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 A. Consideration of Resolution No. R16 -02 Adopting the CRA Budget for FY 2016- 2017 Ms. Brooks explained they had a workshop on August 17 to review the budget and some of the changes the Board had recommended were made. The Amphitheater site improvement was deleted from next fiscal year's budget and this year's contingency funds up to a max of $52K, to start the project. The Pocket Park for $75K was deleted and added to the MILK Corridor Redevelopment project. The Neighborhood Police Program did not include an additional officer or vehicle, in keeping with the Board's wishes, which reduced the budget by $87K and the difference was to be added to the MLK Corridor Redevelopment project. Staff had to revise the budget to reflect pension costs staff was unaware of when they created the original budget with City staff. There was an increase to accommodate a Neighborhood Sustainability Code Officer of $9K, for pension costs not initially calculated in the budget. The total change and final adopted budget has a loss of $52K, which was all moved into other projects. Vice Mayor McCray commented although the Pocket Park was removed, he would, in the near future, bring it back up again. He asked if there would be money for it and learned there was. Chair Grant noted $1 M was earmarked for NuRock and there was $162K for other ideas on the MILK Corridor. Ms. Romelus asked about the status of the grant for the Old High School (OHS). Ms. Brooks advised she was working with the County Department of Environmental Protection, who helped staff expand the scope, if the Board desired, resulting in more funds to take a bigger and broader look at the entire Town Square area. The County was also assisting staff with another State grant as well. Commissioner Romelus asked when the OHS would be stabilized. Ms. Brooks explained once the budget is approved and the new fiscal year starts, if the Board wanted to direct staff to work with Jeff Livergood and City staff, they could start the process. Nothing could occur until October 1 St Mr. Katz announced he intends to make a motion at the next City Commission meeting the proposals that come in for the RFQ must include the OHS. He wanted the individuals to vote so when $185K of CRA funds and the same in matching grant funds are combined, they do not invest nearly $400K into a building that may be torn down. Vice Chair McCray asked if there was a timeline for the State grant and learned the earliest it would go before the County Commission was October. If the CRA does not 7 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 spend the funds because the City Commission did not want to go forward with the OHS because it was not as beneficial to the Town Square project, staff would not spend the funds or allocate the funds pending a decision from the Board. Mr. Casello agreed and commented once the City Commission starts mandating items for an RFQ, it would limit the responses that might be submitted. Chair Grant opened public comments. Linda Cross, 625 Casa Loma Boulevard, Unit 61, Chair of CRA Advisory Board, explained the Advisory Board reviewed the revised budget on Thursday and made another recommendation to move the $87K back from the MLK Corridor to the Neighborhood Policing program. The Board understood there were two dedicated officers and they have to patrol together. There was a discussion to coordinate hours better and recognized it is a lot of money, but it was shortchanging the HOB and the neighborhood policing effort. They need to connect with the community and the Advisory Board did not want to wait for the program to fail because it was understaffed. They favored fully supporting it so it succeeds . Vice Chair McCray commented there was already $263K budgeted for the program and the Board had opted not to add an officer in the substation. Susan Oyer, 140 27 Way commented the Officers made an amazing presentation at the Advisory Board meeting and agreed another Officer was needed. She heard the Officers were sitting in the office and questioned why they were not out more often. She advised there was a need and the community residents want an extra officer. Ms. Oyer was appalled at the number of drug deaths which she felt much of it could be resolved with another Officer. She requested the Board reconsider their position. It would improve the situation and as a property owner, her tenants had break -ins in the last few months, which could have been prevented. Vice Chair McCray commented he met with the Chief and Ms. Brooks earlier in the day and it was mentioned another Officer was needed. He contended if so, a presentation should have been made to them. He had earlier indicated the Officers were sitting in the office and they have two segways. He thought more visibility was needed and for the moment, he thought it was appropriate. Ms. Romelus asked why the Board was not informed about the Advisory Board presentation. Ms. Brooks explained it was not an official presentation, it was a discussion and the Officers were present because they were on duty. A Board member called them up and asked them questions. Ms. Brooks clarified the Officers are in addition to Officers assigned to that area and the Officers make relationships with the community to start outreach and change the perception of what Police Officers are in their lives. The CRA cannot pay for policing; it has to be community- oriented policing. The Officers are not arresting people. Arrests 8 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Fl Sep tember 13, 2 0 1 6 are made by the Officers assigned to the area at the time. The Officers were working with the Coalition of Clergy on a job fair and relationship building to create a stronger community. A third officer or an additional Officer for enforcement is one thing, but it was outside the scope of what the CRA does. Ms. Oyer agreed, but even a presence is a deterrent to crime and every little bit helps, She thought the City was also the sober home capital of the State. Mr. Katz asked how much was originally budgeted for MLK and with the adjustments and learned it is $1.162 million. The $87K was the cost of an additional officer only, but he was unsure if it included benefits and pensions. Mr. Casello recalled there was $263K for the two officers with the pensions and benefits. Ms. Brooks pointed out in the budget, there was a License Plate Reader (LPR) which took up $24K of the $263K, as there was some technology involved. Mr. Katz asked if there was a potential within the $1.162 million '^ the m to fund this position down the road if desired and learned there was. Motion Mr. Casello moved to approve. Mr. Katz seconded the motion that unanimously passed. B. Consideration of Contract Addendum to the Purchase and Development Agreement Entered into with Ocean Avenue Pride, LLC for 480 E. Ocean Avenue Development Timeline Ms. Brooks explained when the purchase of the property originally came forward, they did not intend to enclose the porch area, but they decided to do so which was a major modification process with the City. They are on track with development, but staff wanted to ensure they stayed on track with the development agreement. The agreement requires the owner to obtain their Certificate of Completion no later than February 28, 2017. It was 360 days from the effective date of December 20, 2015. The request was for a 60 -day extension. The owner had applied for construction permits Motion Vice Chair McCray moved to approve. Mr. Casello seconded the motion that unanimously passed. D. Consideration of Community Benefits Agreement between the CRA and Ocean Breeze Housing Partners, LP (NuRock Development Partners, Inc.) for the Ocean Breeze East Project in the Heart of Boynton (Heard out of Order) 9 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 Chair Grant was aware the Boynton Beach Faith -Based Community Development Corporation (BBFBCDC) is a corporation, but was unaware if the Boynton Beach Coalition of Clergy was a legal entity. He asked who was responsible for signing off. Mr. Casello asked if the item bordered on the Separation of Church and State. Attorney Duhy responded she did not believe so, but assumed this was in regard to including the Coalition in the Community Benefits Agreement (CBA). Vice Chair McCray asked if there were any legal ramifications to the Coalition. Ms. Brooks explained she spoke with Reverend Rae Whitely. They are not a formal group under the Florida Division of Corporations or a non - profit, and they suggested using the BBFBCDC, which is a 501(c) 3. They would partner together and be a signor of the agreement. Attorney Duhy explained the request was made earlier in the day and Legal has not vetted the agreement. She explained the Board could move forward with the rest of the agreement relative to NuRock, and postpone this portion so Legal could bring back a contract to the Board in October. They could move forward with the purchase and development agreement, contingent on execution of a CBA prior to closing. Vice Chair McCray asked if it would it be a benefit to postpone. Attorney Duhy did not see a downside to doing so as the agreement was not time sensitive as to the benefits. Mr. Casello received a copy of the agreement yesterday and it was a mirror copy of the one Delray Beach used. He thought it should be reviewed. Attorney Duhy and Ms. Brooks had ideas to give the agreement some real legal authority. Attorney Duhy explained they have a draft agreement that would have more enforceability and be more specific what would be enforced with each agreement since agreements change with each development. Attorney Duhy requested staff be given direction what the Board would like, in terms of accountability. Vice Chair McCray commented Reverend Dames spoke for the Coalition and the request was to table. Motion Vice Chair McCray moved to table this item until the Coalition met with Counsel and they could draft something with teeth they could review. Mr. Katz seconded the motion. Chair Grant commented the Coalition of Clergy is not a legal entity so they could not be on the contract. Vote The motion unanimously passed. 10 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 C. Consideration of Purchase and Development Agreement with Ocean Breeze Housing Partners, LP (NuRock Development Partners, Inc.) for the Ocean Breeze East Project in the Heart of Boynton (Heard out of order.) Motion Mr. Katz moved to approve. Vice Chair McCray seconded the motion. Attorney Duhy recommended making the motion contingent upon execution of the CBA prior to closing. Mr. Katz amended his motion contingent on CBA agreement being executed prior to closing. Ms. Romelus seconded the amendment. Chair Grant questioned if NuRock needed this before October and learned they did. Mr. Casello asked if the final decision of what is in the contract is made by the Board and learned it was. There were no public comments made. Vote The motion unanimously passed. E. Consideration of Interlocal Agreement between the CRA and the City for the Required Local Government Contribution in the Amount of $100,000 to Ocean Breeze Housing Partners, LP (NuRock Development Partners, Inc.) for the Ocean Breeze East Project Ms. Brooks explained this was part of the funding application NuRock will send to the State. The State requires a local government contribution and does not recognize CRAs as a local government. It is an Interlocal Agreement to reimburse the City only if NuRock is successful. The CRA would receive $800,000 for the property from NuRock. Motion Vice Chair McCray moved to approve. Mr. Casello seconded the motion that unanimously passed. F. Consideration of Amendment to the Purchase and Development Agreement entered into with Heartfelt Florida Housing CLT of South Palm Beach County, Inc. for two lots located in the Model Block Project in the Heart of Boynton Ms. Brooks explained this is the same thing as the 480 Ocean Avenue item D. There is always a development timeline of activities they have to reach by a certain time. Because there were issues with the design of the houses, it took longer. They submitted for permits and staff just wanted to ensure the CRA contracts are binding so staff was asking the amendment be approved so the timeline is accurately reflected. The 11 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 developer executed the agreement as well. This pertained to the Model Block. There were recommended designs and when it goes through the process, the City will specify the materials, which caused the delay, The extension is for both homes to obtain the Certification of Completion no later than June 1, 2017. They were already in for permits. Motion Vice Chair McCray moved to approve the extension. Mr. Casello seconded the motion that unanimously passed. XIV. New Business: A. Annual Performance Evaluation of Executive Director by CRA Board Ms. Brooks explained under the rules of her employment agreement, the Board is to conduct an annual review. She provides a format to the Board, which they return and then discuss. Mr. Casello noted there have been different formats used in the past and inquired why the rating system changed from five points to four. Ms. Brooks looked for one that was not as onerous as the last one was lengthy and she had received some complaints. She pulled several performance evaluations from non - profits and government and thought the one issued was most applicable to what she does. Chair Grant opened public comments. Brian Fitzpatrick, 409 NE 1 st Street, as a citizen and property owner explained he was excited with having Ms. Brooks as the Director of the CRA. He commented she is a professional and he hoped to see redevelopment move much faster. He thought she should be given the opportunity to excel. She is paid for her knowledge, which the Board does not have. James DeVoursney, 2625 Lake Drive North, thought it was a fun eight months or so serving on the CRA Advisory Board and he appreciated the appointment. He would like to see if the CRA Advisory Board recommendations had weight in regard to Ms. Brooks' Performance. He sees firsthand how hard Ms. Brooks and her staff works. The presentations the Board receives are the same ones the Advisory Board receives. As to overtime, there is much extra effort educating and getting the CRA Advisory Board up to speed. It is a complicated program. They made recommendations and there have been disagreements, but the Advisory Board overwhelmingly approved her performance and gave her high standing. He would like to see some teeth from the Board in regard to how the Board views the Advisory Board. He advised he was speaking only as a member of the Advisory Board. Harry Woodworth, 685 NE 15 Street, spoke as a citizen and commented as the President of INCA, he has worked with Ms. Brooks a lot. She is always willing to talk 12 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 and make an appointment for him. They do not always agree. He commented reviews are to provide constructive feedback and most say performance appraisals are worthless. At the end of the day, one can only hold people accountable for what they control. In Ms. Brooks' case, she is management, and about doing things right. The CRA Board is responsible for defining what the right thing is to do. As a representative of INCA and a 30 -year citizen of Boynton Beach, he commented he does not know how anyone does the job, as he has never seen clear, consistent, direction given and it changes like the weather. He commented she is dedicated, committed, good at what she does and has a good feel for development. The appraisal is about what she has done, what she can control and doing things right, as opposed to doing the right things which is what the Board controls. Richard Dames, Boynton Beach Coalition of Clergy, on behalf of the entire Coalition and staff, commented Ms. Brooks could not be held responsible for what happened in the past. He did not know of any individual that can move forward while walking backwards. For the first time in a long time, the community feels like they are on the brink of amazing things in District II. He recommended and hoped the Board would keep Ms. Brooks on. Rev Bernard Wright, CEO Bernard Wright Ministries, Robert Wells Foundation and Real Talk Radio, commented Ms. Brooks earns $147K a year. He commented funds were spent on Federal Highway and Ocean Avenue, and Ms. Brooks cannot produce evidence of anything she has done for the children or people in the HOB. No one before her has done anything. Not even a street light. He noted when Pastor Chaney and three others served on the CRA Board, they spent a lot of money and gave $6 million to one person for the Ocean Breeze East and West properties and $1.1 million each for properties on either side of the Bell property. He commented nothing was done for 20 years, and for 20 years, the children could not go in the pool in the morning during the summer or past 4:30 p.m. He complained Sara Sims restrooms are dirty, there is no drainage. He commented the only one who did anything for the youth and the area was him. He asserted Ms. Brooks did absolutely nothing except purchase property that is dormant and she has done nothing to keep his people out of jail or the grave. He contended he cannot trust her to do something now because the Boynton Beach Coalition is involved, pointing out one clergy lives in Greenacres, another lives out west, and the one clergy that lives in the HOB has only 30 church members. He commented he represents the neighborhood, which has a historic character. He thought perhaps Ms. Brooks did much for Ocean Avenue and spent alot of money for properties purchased in the neighborhood. He asserted property prices have been doubled. She was giving people money to retire on. He commented no one can say Ms. Brooks deserves what she is doing when it comes to the Black neighborhood. Woodrow Hay, 427 NW 5 Avenue, commented on the Town Hall meeting last night. Ms. Brooks had a PowerPoint presentation of money spent and projects accomplished in the area and nobody said anything about it because it was a lot of money spent and an eye opener regarding what was accomplished. He commented there were many 13 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 irons in the fire that need to come to fruition and it is not Ms. Brooks that makes the decision; it is the Board members. Ms. Brooks makes recommendations and it is up to the Board to decide which way to go. She brought a lot of great things to the table and he announced he supported Ms. Brooks. She still answers his questions and meets anytime he calls which is commendable. When there is a hostile environment such as occurred last night, he wished all could hear how Ms. Brooks handled the questions that were thrown at her and she maintained her professionalism. He could work with someone like that, not someone who flies off the handle. She has held workshops and many of the Board members have not been at the table. He suggested not waiting to come to the table at the last minute and try to changes things. He favored dialogue to talk about what was wanted and how to get there. Land acquisitions were made because there are certain requirements that must be addressed in order to do a project. He thanked Ms. Brooks for a good job. Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, agreed with Rev. Hay and Mr. Woodworth's comments. He noted $29.1 million has been invested over the last 10 years in the HOB. There were failures, but they were not due to Ms. Brooks. When seeking tax credits, it is a lottery and they cannot hold Ms. Brooks responsible. The Board sets policy and she carries it out. The CRA obtained retail development with Family Dollar, and they have constructed 60 infill homes with four different partners, such as RTG, the Faith Based CDC, Habitat for Humanity and some from the private sector. Those individuals invested in the community and retail follows rooftops. He noted there is $75 million for SAIL and Palm Beach County will get their share. The NuRock project qualifies and NuRock scores very well. He hoped the 4% deal comes through to give more rooftops and affordable housing so they would not gentrify the community and uplift the community. In addition, if the 9% that NuRock has for MLK does not come through, there is still $1 million to invest in more land acquisitions to do more retail on MLK. The CRA has incentives and Ms. Brooks has done very well and each year she tweaks the incentives such as Build -out and Rent assistance programs, Facade assistance and the programs are working. Staff has won numerous competitive FRA awards. The CRA handles things the right way, the City has the right team and they are one of the best teams in South Florida Buck Buchanan, 807 Ocean Inlet Drive, worked with Ms. Brooks in many capacities and she has always been a consummate professional, with incredible knowledge and foresight and she is creative. She can best be judged by the staff she has, which is the mark of a leader. She works under difficult circumstances and political situations and she is amazing. She survived it, put things together, gained consensus and at this time she knows all the players in development and they respect her. Her job is to balance development, watch out for taxpayer dollars and she always got the job done. He thought the Board may have had unreal expectations about what can be done as was stated earlier in the meeting, but that should not influence the decision. He suggested looking at what is best for the City of Boynton Beach and moving forward. She is the best person for the job, and he requested the Board renew her contract as the Board, the City and the CRA needs her. 14 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 Linda Cross, 625 Casa Loma Blvd., announced the CRA Advisory Board whole heartedly supported the renewal of Ms. Brooks' contract. Dr. DeVoursney's comments were what the Board recommended. No one else coming forward, Chair Grant closed public comments. Mr. Katz requested hearing from other longer standing Board members to obtain a greater depth of knowledge. Vice Chair McCray advised he would not comment and Mr. Katz had the opportunity to evaluate Ms. Brooks for the few months he was here. Mr. Casello pointed out the highest score was 4 and the lowest was 1. His overall rating was 2.75 and the Board's overall rating was 2.8. He commented Ms. Brooks has decency, humility, integrity and knowledge and was a consummate professional, but he has heard some of the same issues reported as in previous reviews such as external and internal communication and sharing complete information, and difficulty taking a leadership position on forming the CRA Advisory Board when they needed leadership the most, Ms. Brooks said she was confused and there was confusion on the presentation on the new comprehensive CRA Land Use Plans. He attended every one of them and by the end of the presentation, attendance dwindled to 20, and there was frustration and anger. At times, it seems like there is a strange working relationship with City staff and he did not favor purchasing the AmeriaGas property for over $600K before conducting a $1,200 land use review. His was disappointed when the City is experiencing one of the biggest economic booms the CRA did not fill store fronts with small businesses along N. Federal Highway and Casa Costa, which receives over $500K a year and the CRA continues to chase tax credit proposals for the last three years with no plan B. He thought it was important to have progressive leadership that thinks outside the box, with a vision to successfully complete the mission of elimination of slum and blight. The CRA is more than putting on events and Ms. Brooks credited Ms. Smith - Coffey, Mr. Burdick and Ms. Coppin. He does not question the professionalism of the current leadership, only its direction and ability to complete the mission. He proposed to add an addendum to Ms. Brook's contract to extend it by 90 days during which the Board will entertain new applicants via an RFP, if Ms. Brooks agreed, and she would be part of the process. Ms. Romelus read her evaluation indicating the CRA was doing a fine job. She commended Ms. Brooks and staff for all the awards and recognition. Areas she felt needed improvement were to build better relations with the public as a negative public perception exists. She also requested Ms. Brooks be more of a source of information rather than providing her personal opinion as she did not like having her mind made up for her before receiving all the facts. The CRA has done a lot already and has great potential to do so much more. Continuing and expanding events will help increase the CRAs footprint and gain positive public perceptions. Improvements in economic development programs will help attract businesses to the downtown area and better communications between the staff and the Board will help their ability to serve the 15 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 residents and business owners more effectively. She favored continuing the contract and commended Ms. Brooks and her staff. She rated Ms. Brooks a three and thought there was room for improvement. Chair Grant gave Ms. Brooks a rating of two and commented he was unhappy with what Ms. Brooks has done or with things she said to him. One reason he was elected was residents wanted change. Ms. Brooks was with the CRA for 11 years and he thought it was time for a change. He favored Mr. Casello's proposition. Mr. Katz met with Ms. Brooks on Thursday and told her he was sitting on the fence and he wanted to hear from the community and look at what is available. He wants to go out to RFP for the position. His evaluation of Ms. Brooks was for a 2.5. He felt that information given to them was steering, as opposed to them making up their own mind. He agreed with Mr. Casello and Chair Grant and wanted to see what is available. He hoped she would reapply for the position. He noted the Board had the opportunity to do so with the Ocean Breeze East property. The Related Group applied and had an exclusive right to building and then asked for an extension which the Board decided not to extend to see what was available. Vice Chair McCray explained he has worked with her longer than anyone including Mr. Casello. They have had differences and he gave her an overall evaluation of 3.5. When he met with Ms. Brooks she asks the questions, "How can I do more ?" "What else can I do ?" He commented individuals are saying she has not done anything, and he suggested turning the table because the Board has not done anything because the Board has not given her any direction. He suggested working with her for a year before an evaluation is made. The performance might be with the Board as opposed to Ms. Brooks. There are alot out there, but the Board is on an assignment and he was not in favor of seeking a new person when they are in the middle of the water. He wanted someone to bring the Board back on shore. He wanted to renew her contract and for the new individuals on the Board, he suggested working with her for a year. They do not know Ms. Brooks' style and makeup, and everyone has shortcoming. He thought giving her a year would be fair. Ms. Romelus commented in terms giving for a 90 -day contract extension and entertaining offers for another CRA Director was an insult and a slap in the face. She was not in favor of an RFP and thought it was not fair or right to ask that of her. Chair Grant reiterated it is time for a change. Motion Mr. Casello moved to amend her contract to extend by 90 days at which time CRA will entertain new applicants via an RFP, only if Ms. Brooks agreed. Attorney Duhy thought 90 days was a minimum and thought it may need more time. 16 P G Meeting Minutes CRA Board B o y nton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 Mr. Casello asked about the timeline for RFP. Ms. LaVerriere explained an RFP would not be issued, rather an ad would be placed in the newspaper or trade magazines. The Board can advertise for as long as they want, seek applications and conduct interviews. Ms. LaVerriere commented to hire that level position was easily a three to six -month period, especially with the pending holidays. Motion Mr. Casello amended his motion to extend the contract by six months instead of 90 days to craft an advertisement. Ms. Brooks explained she has been here 11 years, and in that time she was the 3 rd CRA Director. She has not been the CRA Director for 11 years. She did not accept the Board's offer as generous as it is. She commented to the public, the Board could not make her cry, but the public could. Their support and working with them has meant everything to her. This has been a very unfortunate political environment the public has to live with and she was sorry for them and she wished all well. Vote Vice Chair McCray moved to approve Ms. Brook's contract as is. Ms. Romelus seconded the motion. The motion failed, 2 to 3, (Chair Grant and Messrs. Casello and Katz dissenting.) It was noted Ms. Brook's contract expires September 30, 2016. Mr. Casello noted when a prior director was dismissed, Ms. Brooks stepped into the position and commented there is a chain of command that follows the CRA. Mike Simon would be the interim Executive Director effective October 1 st. Mike Simon, Assistant CRA Director, commented despite his personal feelings on the issue, he will step in and do what the Board Directors. B. Consideration of Renewal of CRA Executive Director's Employment Agreement for FY 2016 -2017 (This item was addressed with Item A.) C. Consideration of Issuance of Request for Proposal for the Cottage District in the Heart of Boynton Ms. Brooks explained this item was to issue an RFP for a development interest in the property. The CRA owns just under five acres there and they are looking for creativity and single - family homeownership opportunities. 17 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 This is similar to the Ocean Breeze East and MLK RFPs. Ms. Brooks explained it had more architectural detail in it because it is adjacent to a district the City would be designating as historic fairly soon. This would make it consistent with the adjacent block. Motion Vice Chair McCray moved to approve. Mr. Katz seconded the motion. Chair Grant opened the item for public comment. No one came forward. Vote The motion unanimously passed. D. Consideration of Additional Year Extension of Agreement of Real Estate Services between the CRA and Anderson and Carr, Inc. Ms. Brooks explained last year they requested proposals from commercial brokers and the Board selected Anderson Carr under a three -year contract that had to be renewed annually. Staff negotiated a very favorable lease for the Neighborhood Police Program, building on MLK. Anderson Carr assisted staff to acquire and locate the owner of Amerigas, which was voted on by the Board. They also found a potential location for a dog park which is on the agenda and helped negotiate with potential property owners along Boynton Beach Boulevard across from the potential Town Square project. Mr. Casello thought they were locked in for 5% for each sale or purchase and he thought the commission should be negotiated. Chair Grant reviewed each property could be addressed as it comes before the Board. Ms. Romelus suggested setting a threshold anything below $500K get 5% and higher is 4 %. Ms. Brooks commented the Board could amend. Mr. Casello noted for years they did not have a realtor. You can extend it and negotiate with the broker. The agreement could be extended and renegotiate. Motion Mr. Casello moved to extend and renegotiate the agreement. Ms. Romelus seconded the motion that unanimously passed. E. Consideration of entering into a Purchase Agreement with D & J Housing, LLC in the amount of $19,000 for Lot 10, NE 10 Avenue in the Heart of Boynton Ms. Brooks commented this is a vacant lot at the east end of MLK Jr. Boulevard, appraised value is $24,500. She noted the owner signed an agreement for $19K. 18 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 Motion Mr. Casello moved to approve. Vice Chair McCray seconded the motion that unanimously passed. F. Consideration of entering into a Purchase Agreement with Islam Shamsad in the amount of $425,000 for 513 SE 4 th Street Ms. Brooks explained based on direction from the 2016/2017 Strategic Plan initiative which included feasibility of a downtown dog park. This is not a sentence and does not make sense. The broker located a one -acre wooded parcel on SE 4 th , just south of 500 Ocean. The property had been appraised for $485K. Mr. Casello explained there is a new dog park by Cortina and there is a park opening up at John Prince Park in Lake Worth. He did not think there was a need for another dog park. Chair Grant commented he can walk to this park as could those from Las Ventanas, Casa Costa, Marina Village, and 500 Ocean and any other new developments along Federal Highway. It is an acre of land, even if the Board purchases it and does not develop it into a dog park. it is also a commercial property that is valuable. The Board could change its mind. Mr. Casello noted the price was only the purchase price and there are a lot of moving parts and costs involved with turning it into a dog park. He thought they would have to work with the City, noting the Utilities Department took some land from Pence Park and the Utility Department owes monies for recreational areas and they can ask the Department to help develop the park. It was noted the portion the Utilities Department used was 900 square feet. Ms. Romelus wanted to hear public comment Linda Cross, 625 Casa Loma Boulevard. Chair of the CRA Advisory Board announced the Advisory Board recommended going through with the purchase based on the Strategic Plan and the need for green space. Its location within walking distance of many residential areas would be a great idea. The Advisory Board recommended it be approved. Brian Fitzpatrick, 409 NE 1 explained he has property. It is two lots and it was not an acre, but he would sell it to the CRA for much less than the property under discussion. One property was located at 409 NE 1 St Street which has trees on the west side of the lot and it is about 136 feet by 110 feet. Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, supports the acquisition because it is so close to Pence Park. Mr. Fitzpatrick's property is smaller, and it is not an apples to apples comparison, one is almost half an acre. It will enhance the quality of life they want to enhance and improve the City. Lori Gulsby, 327 Boynton Beach Circle, questioned having a dog park when there are people sleeping behind supermarkets and in abandoned buildings. Everyone loves 19 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 animals, but thought the CRA needed to think about the homeless community. There is a 23 year old woman with a two and a seven year old that sleeps in a car on Ocean Avenue. She asked they reconsider a dog park and think of the homeless. No one else coming forward, public comments closed. Mr. Katz supported a downtown dog park, but was conflicted on the location and with increased activity. He has concerns about the property, proximity and its size. Cortina's dog park is one acre which he thought was small. They could look elsewhere and maybe go west. Ms. Romelus recalled the members were in agreement to seek property for a dog park on the east side, but would not spend $500K for a piece of land and thought something else could be done with the funds. She advised she would not vote in favor of the dog park. David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane, agreed with Ms. Romelus. In October 2014, the property was purchased by the owner for $200K. He thought if the Board wanted a dog park, the CRA would be paying $225K over the value of the property. The money for the dog park could be better spent in the HOB. He did not think it was a good use of taxpayer dollars. Vice Chair McCray did not want to spend $70K for a passive park on MLK Boulevard for citizens and then want to spend $425K for a dog park. He commented it was a bad investment and he would not support it. There was no motion made on this item. Chair Grant announced the item failed. G. Consideration of Economic Development Grants for FY2016 -2017 1. Commercial Rent Reimbursement 2. Commercial Interior Build -Out 3. Commercial Fagade 4. Commercial Construction Permit Incentive Chair Grant noted new language is the CRA would pay for its own Code Lien Searches. Chair Grant wanted to discuss economic development grants for jobs. They were discussing CBA agreements where they are assisting business and land owners. He asked if they could issue Economic Development Grants to businesses within the CRA to hire local workers within the CRA and then Boynton Beach and learned they could. Chair Grant thought now that the $425K slated for the dog park would not be used, he suggested dedicating $50K to set up a commercial grant for work reimbursement for business owners to hire employees. 20 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 Mr. Katz agreed, but wanted to see language for training reimbursement for a certain amount of time. It could apply to for profits and non - profits. Ms. Brooks explained the business was required to do so, and they used all but $1 K of the $600K. Almost all the recipients were one and two person operators. Vice Chair McCray commented $50K will disappear in a flash and it was not enough. Chair Grant commented it would include a certain amount of time. Mr. Simon explained it sounded that the discussion was part of these grants, and it was a grant similar to the one Sherry Johnson has for qualified agencies through an RFQ and RFP to offer job training service. The CRA did this years ago with Annette Gray's company who offered successive job classes and business entrepreneur classes, but it did not reach its goal. Chair Grant explained this would be for new business owners with the CRA to assist with job training. Chair Grant commented the point of the program would be local people that pay money to the CRA can receive a salary and job training and a salary either by a matching grant that an employer still has to pay half. Mr. Simon commented they could create a program and come up with criteria. Chair Grant commented it could be a new grant. Ms. Brooks commented Career Source provides the same thing. Chair Grant commented they would look into it. Mr. Simon explained the CRA does not have a formal policy to give non - profits, such as Sherry Johnson has, as the Board decided to open up funding. They did not issue an RFP or RFQ. When the CRA offered job training programs, they solicited private companies and they were paid to teach business plans, how to apply for a SBA loan in an instructional class. Chair Grant commented they could discuss the item further under CRA Advisory Board assignments. The vote would be for the existing four grants. Motion Mr. Casello moved to approve the grants. Ms. Romelus seconded the motion that unanimously passed. G. Consideration of FY16 -17 Boynton Harbor Marina Dockage Lease Agreement and Slip Rate Mr. Simon indicated this is reviewed each year. There are no multi -year leases with tenants, so the CRA can review and change rates and rules at any time. Language is being added to protect the CRA's interests. The initial lease rate is set at $14 per linear foot in 2012, the lease was increased to $16 per linear foot. The CRA, after conducting its annual slip comparison, and after considering the amount of financial investments the CRA made at the Marina, the lease stayed flat for nearly four years. The CRA feels an increase of $18 per foot is warranted, which is slightly under its peers, but the goal is to keep commercial fishing businesses in the Marina and not over inflate the price. The Board can adjust the rates if desired, but there is pending construction in October. The road will be torn up and it will affect patrons. The suggestion was to give free rent in October. The CRA also has a transient dockage formal document, a multi- vessel 21 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 agreement i.e. which allows two jet skis in a slip. The agreements have been ministerially approved with the recommendation of the insurance carrier and Marina management, but the CRA seeks to further codify and protect the CRA, rather than just give administrative approval. Vice Chair McCray questioned if the Board approved the increase, if they were not pricing themselves out of the market and learned there is a waiting list. Mr. Simon thought $16 was very advantageous to the tenants, more so than it should be. The CRA invested 20 million at the Marina. People who rent a slip get a 20% discount from buying gas, which was part of the lease agreement. It was a policy that was set. Currently it only applies to the slip tenants. Chair Grant wanted to change the policy whoever rents from a boat renter can get the gas at a discounted price. It would be written that it would apply to a customer of a tenant who has actively rented the vessel for a period of time, with their contract, and that that would be the only instance. It would be very specific to certain classes of renters. Chair Grant asked if the boats have a sticker that says they are in the Boynton Beach Marina and suggested it apply only to vehicles that have the sticker or the renter could show the rental agreement for the day. Attorney Duhy recommended staff be directed to make amendments to the exiting policy and bring it back to the Board for adoption at the next meeting. The policy is not in the backup because it was not on the agenda. Linda Cross, 625 Casa Loma Boulevard, explained having rented a boat there, the boat owner meets the renter at the pump and pumps the gas. The renter pays for the gas, but they already pay the discounted amount. Chair Grant wanted to ensure the person owning the boat delivers the discounted amount. Ms. Cross explained the renter pays the discount. Chair Grant thought only the harbor master can fill the boat. Mr. Simon explained filling the vessel is different than the item. There are three different rental companies and it is handled differently. The policy is the policy and the individuals operating under the policy will adhere to the policy. He commented the issue is trying to extend an incentive for renting in the Boynton Harbor Marina and not at others so they get a discount when they rent a boat. Chair Grant wanted to ensure renters pay the discounted price. Ms. Romelus inquired how to distinguish between a renter and an owner. Mr. Simon explained there is a rental agreement, they get in the boat and fill up the boat. If a company requires the renter to replenish the gas, the renter will do so before returning the boat. Freedom Boat Club is different, and Delray Marina Rental sometimes has a captain. If the tenant gets the gas, they get the discount as well. Ms. Romelus thought this would complicate the issue and questioned if they need to make a policy change. Attorney Duhy recommended putting the item on the agenda for consideration. Ms. Romelus asked if there were any problems with the policy and learned there were none. She asked if other cities offered the discount to renters. Mr. 22 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 Simon did not know. He wanted the clarification to be they get the discount and for the CRA to advertise it. Vice Chair McCray commented there was no problem and he favored the status quo.. The discounted gas was an incentive for businesses to attract people. Motion Vice Chair McCray moved to approve as is. Mr. Casello and Ms. Romelus seconded the motion that unanimously passed. It was noted the motion pertained to the lease agreement at $18 per linear square foot. H. Consideration of First Amendment to the 2006 Grant of Easement between the CRA and DSS Properties a /k/a Two Georges Mr. Simon explained this item pertained to consideration of the grant easement agreement. DSS properties own the slips, roadway and two story building, apartment and retail downstairs. As part of the negotiation, the contract included the grant of an easement to provide parking for the restaurant and access to the restaurant on the one way drive isle. The CRA Board approved the agreement in 2006 and the easement is in place for 99 years. The agreement included DSS approval rights for repair work or alterations to the property as described in the easement. The restaurant would have to sign off on the project. Since the CRA was alighting the roadway to the north with a drive isle, the alteration changes the legal description in the easement that was in the original contract and staff now had a signed agreement DSS already agreed to that describes the new legal description. Mr. Simon explained the CRA is legally bound. Mr. Katz questioned the CRA giving away parking spaces because the CRA was investing a million at the Marina. He thought everything done at the Marina benefits these two businesses. He thought it would have been better if the restaurant did not park in the garage even if they were entitled to-# because they have a direct benefit and there is limited parking. Mr. Simon explained the four parking spaces labeled public parking are for restaurant patrons. Mr. Katz inquired if the parking would be managed. Motion Ms. Romelus moved to approve. Mr. Katz seconded the motion that unanimously passed. I. Consideration of Purchase Agreement between the CRA and Kim Newton for the property located at 120 NW 11 Avenue in the amount of $130,000 for the Model Block Project in the Heart of Boynton 23 Meeting Minutes CRA Board B oynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 Attorney Duhy advised this item was the agreement that settled the eminent domain counterclaim filed against the CRA suit. Motion Vice Chair McCray moved to approve. Mr. Katz and Ms. Romelus seconded the motion that unanimously passed. XV. CRA Advisory Board A. Reports: None B. Pending Items: 1. Discussion of the Feasibility of a Regular Art Walk Event on Ocean Avenue - October 2. City Services Survey for the CRA- October C. New Assignments: Chair Grant explained he wanted to assign an economic development grant to hire local employees to the Advisory Board and there was consensus to do so. XVI. Future Agenda Items: A. Consideration of Purchase and Development Agreement with Heritage at City View Housing Partners, LP (NuRock Development Partners, Inc.) for the 2.97 Acre Project Site Known as MLK B. Consideration of Interlocal Agreement between the CRA and the City for the Required Local Government Contribution in the Amount of $1,000,000 to Heritage at City View Housing Partners, LP (NuRock Development Partners, Inc.) for the 2.97 Acre Project Site Known as MLK C. Consideration of Community Benefits Agreement between the CRA and Heritage at City View Housing Partners, LP (NuRock Development Partners, Inc.) for the Ocean Breeze East Project in the Heart of Boynton D. Review of Bid Proposals and Drawings for Amphitheatre Awning Structure Renovation Ms. Romelus informed Mr. Simon, her evaluation of him would start tonight, and he had to work on his monotone voice, and he needed to work on being more concise. Chair 24 Meeting Minutes CRA Board Boynton Beach, Florida September 13, 2016 XVII. Adjournment Motion There being no further business to discuss, Ms. Romelus moved to adjourn. Vice Chair McCray seconded the motion that unanimously passed. The meeting was adjourned at 9:02 p.m. 06 -t" � L Ok Catherine Cherry Minutes Specialist 25
