Commissioner McCray requested the square feet of the current City of Boynton
Beach Library. Mr. Groff replied the current total was 58,000 square feet. The new
Library would have approximately 47,000 square feet.
Commissioner McCray stated the library was going to be 10,000 square feet less
then what they currently have available.
Commissioner McCray inquired about the parking spaces in the garage. How much
is the parking garage costing the developer?

the City has approximately 465 spaces. Mr. Groff stated the cost of the garage was
$30M to the developer.
Commissioner Casello asked how many bays were being allotted for the fire station.
Mr. Groff responded there were currently 3 bays in the design.

into the 21St century. Mr. Groff responded he had spoken with the Fire Chief
regarding the bays; this was what was needed for the next 100 years.
Commissioner Casello asked if the building would be built to a Category 5 storm. Mr.
Groff replied everything was being designed to 175 miles per hour winds, which is a
Category 4 storm. He explained this does not mean it could not stand up to a
Category 5 storm.
Commissioner Casello asked if Fire Station 5 was a category 5. Mr. Groff responded
it was designed for a Category 5.
Commissioner Casello inquired why they would design the downtown town area at a
Category 4. Mr. Groff replied staff looked at the cost to make the building a Category
5. He explained if the City had a major storm everyone would be evacuated east of I-
95.
Mr. Groff indicated Fire Station #5 was the Emergency Operations center. Stated he
would have staff calculate the numbers to build for a Category 5 building.
Commissioner Casello stated Mr. Groff has failed to mention fuel cells when
speaking about the Chilled Water Plant.
Mr. Groff stated this was older technology and reliable technology. He explained
right now it is based on the chilled water; the fuel cells would create hot water. If the

Commissioner McCray since the Fire Department was a Category 5; he asked if the
Police Department will have the same designation.

category 4 hurricane.
Mayor Grant stated he needed to correct Mr. Groff, 150 winds was a Category 5
hurricane
Mr. Groff stated the City was designing to a Category 4 hurricane wind load. He
stated staff can bring numbers back to the Commission regarding the cost to design
a Category 5 versus a Category 4.
Mayor Grant explained how hurricanes were measured. He indicated a category 4
should be fine. Mayor Grant stated he was concerned that the City of Boynton
Beach has some large buildings; asked if these building could be used to house the
City residents who are unable to leave.
Mr. Groff responded that was a policy decision. All buildings are designed with
lifesaving equipment and generators.
Commissioner McCray requested the cost of a Category 5 brought back to the
Commission for the Police Department on High Ridge Road.

Michael Simon, Executive Director CRA, indicated the current debt service expires in
2026/27 and the current payment per year was $2.3M.
Commissioner McCray said after 2026 the debt service would be retired, and the
CRA will be able to pick up the $4M.
The $3M was for the site utilities and the cost of the District Energy plant of $10.4M.
The City will issue a Utility Bond. The Boynton Beach Utilities Capital Improvement
Project budget includes funding to upgrade and replace existing utilities within the
Town Square boundaries. The City will establish a District Energy Utility to construct
and maintain a chilled water plant to supply chilled water for air conditioning for new
structures along with other private development in the area. A utility loan will be used
for financing and repairs through rates. As other areas in the City redevelop, the City
will have the opportunity to expand the new utility. Mr. Howard explained this will
not come out of the General Fund or the CRA funding.
Commissioner McCray inquired as to the anticipated revenue from user fees.
Mr. Groff replied staff has a financial model for the debt service payment. The City
would be able to offer the rates about 5% less than what consumers currently pay
for electric. The overall numbers per year was not available. Mr. Groff stated the
fees cover everything, plus a little more coming back to the City.
Commissioner McCray stated he wanted to know the income. He needs those
figures. He wants to make sure what he was voting on.
Mayor Grant stated most of this was for the Town Square project. Inquired as to
what percentage of the new District Energy plant would be used by Town Square.
Mr. Groff indicated right now the City was designing a 2700 ton plant, for the
government buildings and would be about 1/3.
Mayor Grant asked if Town Square would be able to fund the District Energy Plant.
Mr. Groff replied the financial models are based on the 16.5 acres only.
Mayor Grant asked when the final residential and commercial buildings are
completed if the City would be in the black.
Mr. Groff stated the City will build in phases. As an example the Villages of Boynton
Beach has approached the City regarding connecting to the Chilled Water Plant. The
City will only build as we need, so that the plant will pay for itself.
Mayor Grant asked if the Plant would be able to expand in the future. Mr. Groff
confirmed.

Boynton Beach, Florida March 13, 2018
Mr. Howard stated there was an item on the agenda to enter into an agreement with
a consultant to pursue New Market Tax Credits. He explained this was a Federal
program. They are estimating the City would be getting $2.5M worth of federal
money, which would offset costs. In addition to the new market tax credits, there are
leverage loans. The City was looking at pursuing one of those loans. The Old High
School was not eligible for non -tax exempt bonds. The City of Boynton Beach
needed to find funding to pay for this project. There are no prepayment penalties. In
the City CIP for next year, there were a number of projects that were earmarked to
be done. He suggested using the $3M from the surtax funds for the High School as
well as $1.6M from the CRA. Mr. Howard stated part of the funding from the CRA
the City was estimating a bond for about $84M, the maximum bond $78M the City
would issue. He indicated there could be some funds available to pay off the high
school by 2019
Commissioner McCray asked if using the surtax funds, would impede on the
sidewalks and paving the City has slated to be repaired.
Mr. Howard stated the City currently has $2M programed for pavements. It would
leave about $1.51VI for next year.
Commissioner McCray indicated he does not see any movement. He asked if
minority companies are being brought in.
Mr. Howard said the City was in the process of doing larger projects. There are bids
for paving and painting. They needed to restructure those bids to encourage local
participation. He stated this was taking longer than anticipated.
Mr. Howard continued regarding the parking spaces. He said instead of building the
garages, staff decided to pay for the cost of the parking spaces within the garage,
which cost comes to $10.2M. Mr. Howard explained the land where the garage sits
has a value to the developer. The City would use that revenue to pay for the parking
spaces.
Commissioner McCray asked how many years the City will pay for the parking
spaces. Mr. Howard stated the City has a license agreement for 50 years.
Commissioner McCray asked if the City will pay a maintenance fee for 50 years,
asked about the price for the maintenance for the parking spaces. Mr. Howard
indicated that would be $190,000 per year. This was an operating cost.
Commissioner Casello asked how much was the City paying per space? Mr.
Howard replied it would be $22,000 to $24,000 per space.

Boynton Beach, Florida March 13, 2018
Commissioner Casello asked if the City Commission was going to charge for those
spaces for public use. Mr. Groff advised that was a policy decision. Ms. LaVerriere
stated no revenue was factored into the costs. Mr. Howard added cities which have
a parking garages do not initially charge for the parking.
Mayor Grant questioned if the City would have the bottom floor spaces, so that it
would be more convenient for residents and staff. He also asked if appraisals were
used to determine the land value.
Mr. Groff stated staff used multiple appraisals from various years. This was a
negotiated appraisal rate of $1.25M per acre.
Mayor Grant stated this was an average cost.
Mr. Howard continued to provide cost and funding information. There were
estimated costs of $3M for the initial move to the temporary space, the temporary
lease space, and the costs for the move from the temporary space. This was an
estimated of $6.2M. Indicated part of the 16 acres includes land for a hotel. This
portion would be sold to the developer at $1.75M. All contractors are required to pay
permit fees on the public building, at an estimate of $1.5M.
Commissioner Romelus inquired if the City was we going to receive art fee funds.
Mr. Howard responded yes, this was charged to all the projects.
Commissioner Casello said the temporary lease was based on a 24 month period;
the City has not negotiated any leases. Mr. Howard indicated this was based on the
estimated numbers which Mr. Groff has received from the Broker. Indicated nothing
has been finalized as of yet.
Commissioner Casello asked where the City will get the additional money if it takes
additional time.
Mr. Howard stated the leases would have an extension on the outside possibility an
extension was needed; the cost will be in the general operating budget. Mr. Howard
stated the leases are for three separate buildings. It would be very important to
monitor the project.
Commissioner Casello asked if there were any benchmarks within the contracts. Mr.
Groff stated there are benchmarks built in. The schedule right now was 18 months;
we built in an extra 6 months.
Commissioner McCray indicated he believed 24 months was not enough time to
build Town Square.

Mayor Grant said the City has everything in place right now. The potential funding
number for the General Fund was an estimate. The City was spending more on City
Hall and Police Department trying to repair than what the lease payments are going
to be. The major concerns were the residents were going to a different place for City
Hall. Mayor Grant said as we all know when you wait to do something; it was a good
chance that it would not get done.
Commissioner McCray stated he must disagree with Mayor Grant. The City has
money in the CIP budget. Commissioner McCray indicated when the Library was
constructed he was told the Library should last 20 or 30 years. He indicated this was
a tough pill to swallow. Commissioner McCray inquired when was the last time
anything was repaired in City Hall or the Police Department. Mr. Howard responded
he did not have an answer.
Mr. Groff stated he wanted to answer the question about the District Energy Plant.
Over the 48 -month period of startup, getting customer connected, the model shows
revenue of $2.5M with an expenditure of $2.1 M. It was about $400,000 additional
funds at the reduced rate.
Commissioner Romelus asked for clarification about the time period. Mr. Groff stated
that was about a 48 month period, it takes about 18 months. Commissioner Romelus
indicated those first 3 years the City was not in red.
Mr. Groff stated there will be 18 months when the City was operating in the red, and
then the next 18 months the City will be operating in the black.
Commissioner Romelus asked if the $190,000 was already budgeted within the
future budget for the lease payment. Mr. Howard stated this was not budgeted.
Once the parking garages come online, about 18 months, this would be within the
next two fiscal years.
Commissioner Romelus asked if that money was already considered in the future
budget.
Mr. Howard advised it would be in the next two fiscal years.
Mr. Groff provided an overview of the contracts. Indicated the City has contracted
with 3 providers. CFP Boynton Beach Town Square, LLC. This company was
responsible for the City Hall, Fire Station #1, Police Headquarters, Parks and Open
Space, Utilities and Infrastructure and associated site and road work. E21- Real
Estate Solutions, LLC responsible for the High School redevelopment, the District
Energy Plant as well as the design and construction management services. JKM

opportunities. Mr. Howard indicated that topic was not a guarantee. Staff will come
back to the Commission with additional information. He stated until they began

would move forward with the New Market Credit and with either naming rights or
sponsorships. The City will be at a better place to market once buildings are up.

Commissioner McCray asked about the construction workers parking. Mr. Groff
indicated the team was working on the logistics of the construction workers parking.

Flynn Holland, 618 South Searcrest Boulevard, speculated with this heavy
equipment on the roads there may be a possibility of the roads needing repairs. She
indicated as seen on 500 Ocean all of the roads were damaged. Was there anything
the City has in place regarding the roads?
Mayor Grant explained the CRA was looking to redevelop Boynton Beach Boulevard
from 1-95 to Federal Highway. The other roads are not owned by Boynton Beach,
they are owned by the County.
Ms. Holland inquired as to the County contact.
Mr. Groff stated the City was asking the County to spend those funds which Boynton
Beach has provided. The County needs to improve Seacrest Boulevard.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27th Way, asked who she should email on a Sunday when she
sees debris in the roadway. Ms. LaVerriere offered her email. Mr. Groff stated once
the project has begun; there would be a hotline number available to the residents.
Jerry Taylor, 1086 SW 26" Avenue, indicated he was a member of the Surtax
Fund Committee. The responsibility of the Committee was to make sure the surtax
funds are spent for infrastructure in the City. He was concerned staff was
recommending $3M to be spent on the new Cultural Center. The Committee would
need to look to see if the surtax money can be invested in a new project.
Ms. LaVerriere indicated staff was very comfortable that the expenditure for the
Cultural Center fits into the confines of what surtax funds are allocated. She
indicated this was a rehabilitation of an existing building.
Commissioner McCray stated the City has an Oversight Committee; he does not
want to push the sidewalks or other needed repairs to the side in order to make
Town Square work.
Commissioner Romelus indicated for clarification, speaking about Cultural Center,
staff was speaking about the Old High School. Mr. Groff stated that was correct.
Commissioner Romelus asked how much of the affordable housing ordinance was
being put into place.
John Markey, indicated they are going to exceed the minimum, they are anticipating
20 percent. They have design units which are a smaller type, that the price would
make them affordable.
Commissioner Romelus inquired as to the cost of the rental units. Mr. Markey stated
it would be approximately $1000 for the rental units.
Commissioner Romelus stated this would be for a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment.

Boynton Beach to provide funding in the amount of $2,100,000 from their Fiscal
Year 2016-2017 budget (see Attachment II). Under the current CRA approved

Boynton Beach, Florida March 13, 2018
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
Mayor Grant indicated the City will continue the Commission meeting with the
TEFRA public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING to acknowledge appropriate advertising in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Section 147(f) for the purposes of
acknowledging the proposed issuance by Public Finance Authority of its Capital
Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2018 in one or more taxable or tax-exempt
series, in an amount not to exceed $78,000,000 and to conduct a public hearing
as referenced in the advertising.
Attorney Cherof indicated he wanted to recognize Kate Strangle with Broad and
Casell the Bond Counsel.
Kate Stangle, of Broad and Casell, Orlando Florida, indicated she was serving as
bond counsel for the proposed issuance of the bonds. These bonds will be used to
fund a portion of the Town Square project. The bonds will be issued for the City Hall,
Library, Police Headquarters, Fire Station, various parks, open space
enhancements, and the associated infrastructure. The proposal was to have these
bonds issued on a tax exempt basis. She explained in order for that to occur, section
147C of Internal Revenue Code requires the bond counsel to obtain the City of
Boynton Beach approval in the capacity as a host jurisdiction. The City must make a
determination that the City feels it was appropriate for bonds to be issued on a tax
exempt basis for this project which will be constructed in the City of Boynton Beach
jurisdiction. For purposes of the Internal Revenue Code this item was limited to
consideration and determination that this project was for tax exempt bonds being
issued.
Ms. Stangle stated in order to make that determination, the Internal Revenue Code
requires the City of Boynton Beach to conduct a public hearing, this hearing has
been advertised and in accordance with all Internal Revenue requirements have
been other requirements as set forth in the agenda package.
Ms. Strangle stated staff has provided a summary of the proposed bond transaction
and this project. The City Commission should open up the hearing to the public for
comments and any questions. Once questions have been answered the
Commission can close the TEFRA hearing and move on into the agenda.
Ms. Strangle stated later this afternoon there was an item being presented for the
City's consideration, a Proposed Authorized Resolution. The Resolution includes a
finding; you will be making the necessary determination that you are approving the
issuance of those bonds for purposes of section Internal Revenue Code 147c.

She explained the City would not be the borrower in this Bond transaction, the
borrower will be the 501 c (3) entity, which is CFP Boynton Beach Town Square LLC,
the sole member of CFP is Community Facility Partners. They are a Minnesota
nonprofit Corporation and a qualified tax exempt charitable organization under the
section 501c (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. She wanted to state for the record
this bond transaction will not constitute indebtedness or a pledge of the City's
general credit or taxing power. The Bond would be secured by the City covenant
which is included in the proposed authorizing resolution and the proposed form of
the facility leases. The City of Boynton Beach is agreeing to budget and appropriate,
on an annual basis, available non ad valorem revenue in amounts which are
sufficient to make the rent payment under the facility lease form. The City of Boynton
Beach was not pledging their ad valorem taxes, the City will make payment to CFP,
and CFP Boynton Beach Town Square LLC, would assign those payments to the
trustee for the bond transaction.
Mayor Grant opened Public Comments.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27th Way, asked for an explanation of who is CFP. She stated
a nonprofit was very transparent. How does it qualify as a charity for a building
construction?
Mark Hefferin E21, replied he brought in the CFP because they have a long track
record of doing this type of project. The project will finish with all assets being
reverted back to the City. This organization was doing this for the tax exempt
reason. Community Facility Partner, Owner Dan Nelson was an equal partner of Mr.
Hefferin.
Cindy Falco-Decorrido, 316 NW 1" Avenue, asked if this was going to cost the
residents any additional money.
Tim Howard, Assistant City Manager, stated the residents will not see a separate
tax on the tax bill. He indicated there will not be a separate millage to pay this back.
The funding mechanism to make the lease payment was the ILA which the CRA
Board just approved for the multi-year period. The CRA would provide part of the
funding. The additional funding would come out of the City General Fund. This would
be included in the General fund for the next fiscal year and for future years.
Mayor Grant inquired if a motion was needed.
Ms. Strangle stated not at this time. The City can move on, when considering the
authorizing resolution, which includes a finding, wherein the City was acknowledging
it was appropriate to issue the bonds on a tax exempt basis.
Mayor Grant asked Ms. Strangle, in her professional opinion, if the City was working
within the confines of the Tax Code.

Ms. Strangle responded yes, throughout this process, the council will be working on
the bond documents. Before the transaction can close there will need to be an
opinion of bond counsel, which addresses the tax exempt status and acknowledges
the bond can be issued under a tax exempt basis.
Attorney Cherof indicated Mayor Grant needed to close the TEFRA.
Mayor Grant indicated the TEFRA was now formally closed.
Mr. Howard advised the Commissioner the authorizing Resolution was item F on the
agenda.
B. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO R18-041 - Authorize the Mayor to sign an

Special Joint Meeting Minutes
City Commission and
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida March 13, 2018
Commissioner McCray asked why they have the $3.5M increase.
Mr. Howard indicated the Resolution being presented was similar to the one which
passed last year. He stated there were cost associated with Phase 1 which the
developer would incur, in the event the City did not go to phase 2, the City set aside
$2.5M to $2.6M. The City was at a point to go into phase 2. The bonds were to be
issued and bought would take 90-120 days on a fast track. The City options were to
stop work on all design work, from 90-120 until the bond was issued, or determine a
mechanism was to continue the design work, by agreeing with a Phase 2 agreement
with E2L. In order to do so the developers needed to increase their line of credit, so
their contractors could get paid. Their funding institution has required the City to do a
budget amendment. The City appropriated out of the fund balance the contracted
price to be paid for the work which has been done. When the bonds are issued the
cost would be covered. The appropriation would not be needed any longer.
Mayor Grant asked where the $3.5M was coming from. Mr. Howard explained the
$3.5M was coming out of the unreserved fund balance. And will be released by the
end of the fiscal year.
Commissioner Casello asked once those bonds are issued, the $3.5M would go
back into the reserve.
Mayor Grant asked if the City was still above the 10% in the General Fund once the
debt has been paid.
Mr. Howard responded the City has 10% emergency reserve set aside. The City still
has $5.3M after the last appropriation. The $3.5M would come out of the $5.3M
Vote
The motion unanimously passed.
