Public Comments 2 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Marcelo Juchem, a tenant at the Boynton Harbor Marina, explained he has been there for 20 years with his boat and jet ski rental businesses. He congratulated the CRA for the work the CRA did at the Marina and announced his business is growing. People have been trying to get out due to COVID. He commented there are empty slips at the Marina. He occupies slip numbers three, four, five, six and seven and slip one is empty. He would like for the Board to assist him in growing his business, by him renting slip one. Mr. Simon explained there is no slip one and that the area Mr. Marcelo was referring to was the area in front of the open space, which was designed to remain open and not to have a tenant. Slip two is the water taxi slip. Chair Grant suggested renting slip two to Mr. Juchem and when the water taxi arrives, they can talk. The area is next to the Sea Mist and they did not want to have rentals. Mr. Simon explained he has not had a chance to speak with Mr. Juchem about it. If the Board wants to consider the request, staff will make a presentation, but there is currently no rentable space there. Board Member Romelus asked if there are other slips available. Mr. Simon commented there may be another slip in the teens, but they would need to meet with the dockmaster and the tenant to see what is available. She did not support renting the open space area referred to as slip one. Board Members Hay and Katz agreed. The open space next to the Sea Mist will remain open. Mr. Juchem explained slip one was used by Splashdown Divers for many years. He asked why the decision was made to keep the space open. Chair Grant did not know, but there was Board consensus not to lease that spot. Tory Orr, 106 7t" Avenue, asked why they could no longer have music at the park. Chair Grant suggested he speak to the City Commission about improvements at Sara Sims Park as the CRA cannot discuss it. Mr. Orr asked when the gate will be fixed, which he reported to Kacy Young, Recreation and Parks Director. He asked who else he should speak with. Chair Grant recommended he use the City's app called My Civic. He should take a picture of the broken gate and submit it or send it to him as it provides documented evidence of an issue. No one else coming forward, Public Comments was closed. 10. CRA Advisory Board A. CRA Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - March 4, 2021 B. Pending Assignments 1.

Reports on Pending Assignments Mr. Simon explained the CRA Advisory Board discussion on April 1St, centered on new assignments regarding review and recommendation of commercial properties. The 3 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 review list was provided by staff. The Board moved to revisit the item at the May meeting, discuss and view the property in greater detail and report back tote Board as a whole, at the May meeting.

Approval of Commercial Property Improvement Grant Program in the 4 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Amount of$50,000 for Yellowbeard, Inc. located at 1022 N. Federal Highway Chair Granted noted the properties at the above location and the Boynton Beach Seafood Company LLC. In the past, they allowed landlords to get rent assistance from the CRA if operating a business on site, but he thought it was not the correct program to do so. He encouraged properties to be bought by small businesses and receive help with the mortgages from the CRA. He wanted next year's Economic Development Grant program to allow assistance to help purchase the businesses. He did not support spending money for another fish market without speaking with the proprietor to get more information about what they are trying to do. There are issues with Lionfish and he wants to ensure local fisheries are maintained. He wanted to table the two items to the next meeting to allow for discussion with the property owner and the business. Chair Grant wanted to see the business model, and if they are selling only local fish or fish from all over the world. The aspect of the rent payment normally is reimbursed to the landlord. When they provide rent reimbursement, there are two entities and one person signed as both the landlord and the business. The CRA may want funds to go to other businesses that are not operated by the landlord. The rent reimbursement is for new businesses to come in, but the landlord would create a new business for himself to get rent payments, which could be a conflict. Vice Chair Penserga queried if they were the same entity or separate and if the money would still go to the landlord to pay for the small business lease. Chair Grant explained the landlord could say the rent reimbursement is for a separate entity. The business and landlord should be separate and that is the discussion he wants to have. He did not feel the Rent Reimbursement program was the right program to do so and would like it to be a different program. As for the business model, they rely heavily on the fishing gear and he wants to ensure the proprietor is mindful of the rules and has the right licenses. He reiterated he only wants to table the item Vice Chair Penserga was willing to table first item, but did not understand the second. He noted the CRA could stop payment. Chair Grant commented if approved, they cannot stop payments and the CRA could be liable. Board Member Katz explained the Commercial Improvement grant is a matching grant. If they want a $50K grant, they have to spend $100K and then submit for reimbursement. He was open to a discussion about rent reimbursement and would table that item, especially if the person owned the property for a period of time. As far as the commercial improvement, he was in.favor of approving item C and tabling item D. Attorney Duhy explained the Board set different tiers of businesses and criteria for awards of both of these grants based on that criteria. At this time, there is criteria that matches the issues that were raised. She was more comfortable, if the Board wanted to discuss how to handle this situation in the future, if they would consider changing the tier for a certain type of business based on information or a request for additional 5 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency.Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 information. With rent and landlords, the Board has, in the past awarded the grants to owners who rent. She would not apply it to this instance, and thought further discussion was warranted. She recommended the Board consider looking at the terms of the overall program in the future. Motion Board Member Katz moved them forward tonight and have future discussions. Board Member Hay agreed and asked what the mindset was to put it on the agenda at all. He asked about item D. Mr. Simon explained it meets all the criteria of the rent program, and it is a complete application. He had no hesitancy putting it on the agenda. It was not a condition that would prohibit them from applying or being awarded the grant and in prior years, it has not been criteria they objected to. Member Hay thought the Board should move them both forward at the meeting tonight and have the discussion in the future. Ms. Nicklien explained the business qualified under Tier 1 as a gourmet food market. She uses the use listed on the City's Business Tax Receipt. Part of the reimbursement process is to obtain the Business Tax Receipt and she cross checks it before she issues reimbursement. It is not a convenience store. Vote Vice Chair Penserga seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. (Chair Grant dissenting on items C and D.) Motion Vice Chair Penserga moved to approve the remainder of the Consent Agenda. Board Member Romelus seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 13. CRA Projects in Progress A. Grant Closeout for Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County's FY 2018-2019 (Winer) Nonprofit Organization Grant Program (NOCP) Ms. Shutt explained this is the last grant allocation for this program as the program was retired last year and replaced with a new Affordable Housing Rehabilitation grant, new construction of new affordable Housing and Workforce housing. They had received an extension and then submitted all the required reports. They expect reimbursement within a week or so. Excerpts of their results were viewed. They completed three new single-family units. They also had to revitalize the area, conduct critical repairs and hold a housing workshop. Photos of the activities were viewed. Three families received new homes and 16 renovations took place. A representative was present. 6 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Motion Vice Chair Penserga moved to approve. Board Member Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Marketing, Business Promotions, and Social Media Update Mercedes Coppin, Business Promotions and Events Manager, gave a presentation showing the social media posts in March. The Business Development Team and the Neighborhood Officers walked the CRA area to conduct business visits. They visited Colonial Gateway Veterinarian Center and published a post regarding their Intent to Dispose of property at 401 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard. The Social Media Outreach Program (SMOP) promoted two new business and the CRA annual report. Examples of posts promoting local business and to dine and shop locally were viewed. A review of the Boynton Beach Bucks program showed 11 deals were redeemed, 22 people took advantage of the promotion and 118 completed a corresponding survey. Twenty two percent of the respondents had previously eaten at Pio Pio and 78% had not yet dined at the restaurant. Examples of social media posts were viewed. At the end of March, they used the Boynton Beach Bucks promotion for the Your CBD Store. Staff will give an update on the success of the program in April. C. CRA Economic & Business Development Grant Program Update Ms. Nicklien gave an update. With tonight's approvals included, the CRA awarded $443,000 to 18 businesses since October 16t. After tonight's approvals, the balance in the line item will be $55K. She is working with eight business who will submit applications in May or June. To accommodate them, the program will need $245K. Ms. Nicklien listed the businesses. A list of new BTRs in the CRA District was also provided. Vice Chair Penserga supported continuing the program and reallocating the funds. Additional funding sources were from the Contingency Project Fund line item, which had $361,081. It is a line item they rarely use that typically has a maximum of $100K in it. Another suggestion was to replenish the Boynton Beach Streetscape Improvement project by allocating a certain amount at the beginning of next year and replenish funding from the Housing Authority line item, but although the application to HUD was moving along, he wanted the funds to be available. His best recommendation was from the Contingency Project Funds. Motion Vice Chair Penserga moved to transfer $250K from Contingency into the Economic Development Grant program. Board Member Romelus seconded the motion for discussion. 7 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Board Member Romelus asked if Mr. Simon if the CRA anticipated funding from the federal government for small business recovery. Mr. Simon explained they may be able to take advantage, but he was not aware of funds going to the CRA. It was clarified that when an application is made, staff informs applicants that there may not be enough funds to fund their application. There would be $54K left to assist businesses if the grant applications on the agenda tonight were approved. Chair Grant did not want to reallocate the funds because of the properties the CRA may want to buy. There will be federal monies available through the SBA, so he thought they did not have to give the same funding and they will know more next month. Board Member Katz asked if there were funds for property acquisitions in the present budget. The Woman's Club had $232K and the Boynton Beach Boulevard project had funds. Discussion followed among the Board Members where to take the funds. Board Member Romelus rescinded her second. She thought the CRA has done a lot to support small business. The economic development grants are to beautify and embellish. Businesses have a six-month window to apply and after that time period, they are ineligible to apply. She suggested offering a courtesy waiver for the businesses in the queue. Ms. Nicklien explained they extended the deadline to a year, Board Member Hay agreed with Board Member Romelus. The next fiscal year is in October and it made him nervous to deplete funding to this level. Chair Grant supported ensuring all those on the list receive some funding. That was why, out of $360K he proposed $150K or $160K from Contingency Funds. They have a lot of funds allocated that have not been spent. He asked how long someone had to get their Certificate of Occupancy before the funds can be used by another business. Mr. Simon explained they need to have a discussion about the expediency of when business permits are issued in order for them to expend those funds. Vice Chair Penserga explained he made the motion understanding now is not the time to stop stimulating small businesses. They are on a rebound, which is why he supported continuing funding, but they are depleting the fund. The current program has $50K left, there is money in Contingency which normally has about $100K. If they have $361 K in Contingency, and his motion was to transfer out $250K, his motion would not deplete the fund. It would return the fund to the balance it would normally have. Motion Vice Chair Penserga amended his motion to allocate $150K so there would be a total of $200K in the Economic Development Grant program. Board Member Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Motion Board Member Romelus requested to move item 15G up as a representative was in the audience and so moved. Board Member Katz seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 8 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 15 G. Discussion and Consideration of Terms for an RFP/RFQ for the CRA Project Located at 115 N. Federal Highway (Heard out of order) Mr. Simon explained the item is for discussion of the desired elements to include in the RFP/RFQ for the disposal and redevelopment of the CRA-owned property at 115 N. Federal Highway. At the March 9t" meeting, Survey Monkey results were presented. He included the items that were supported and several other bullet points to make developers aware of what they would see. Chair Grant commented the property is a big block of land. The CRA is the majority owner and they can dictate what they want. The Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Item they skipped over on the agenda showed out of $20M collected for a new project, $10M was given back to the developer and the increased property value was $240M. He wanted it to be a public private partnership and the CRA require the developer to take the TIF to improve the project. He felt, the CRA had to give land and money in exchange for benefits to the CRA, the City and community and that the City did a poor job with the job fair. Out of 120 people that attended, only eight people were hired. Board Member Katz did not object to using TIF, but as far as putting it in the RFP, thought it should say TIF may be a component. He thought as long as they get something they normally would not receive in a project, in addition to the land value, there would be no problem. Board Member Hay had no objections to using TIF, but thought they were in a holding pattern. They can work together to get something done. They have an opportunity and there are some pretty good ideas to bring to the table. He had noted there was no reverter clause put in when the property was conveyed and it should have. He wants to hear the ideas of the three developers. Vice Chair Penserga also supported TIF funding, a public private partnership, and a reverter clause. Davis Camalier, Boynton Beach property owner, more specifically the owner of the Ocean One parcel and the property adjacent to the Library site advised he spent considerable time with the Commission, talking and communicating with many and he would like to work with the City. They have to put their minds together and develop the 115 and 114 Federal Highway parcels, as they are vital to activate the east end of Ocean Avenue. He did not want the Board to issue an RFP for just the Library site or develop the area building by building or block by block. They have an opportunity to do something spectacular on seven acres and he will work with them to accomplish that. Vice Chair Penserga commented all agree they want the best possible project on both properties that sets the City apart from others. Mr. Camalier explained Bonnie Miskel was also present. He did not know how to move forward and offer a suggestion. Chair Grant did not think, if the Board gives consensus to staff to issue an RFP/RFQ, it would be ready to do anything in May in order to accept their offer. 9 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Board Member Katz was open minded to several options regarding property owned by both parties, but he did not believe the RFP for 115 should be tied to the property across the street because then they are tethered to another property with technical issues. He suggested signing an agreement for the CRA to purchase the Boardwalk property or be given the property in exchange for their property across the street, which did not have a reverter clause, that now sits unowned by the CRA with an unknown project looming. He expressed caution about any efforts to tether any project. He would move forward with the property across the street and it did not have to be tied to 115 and if they can do something across the street, they can help them. Board Member Hay agreed to a point. The project is very important. He thought there needed to be some kind of penalty for reneging on what they agree to set up. As far as a reverter clause, if someone plans what they will do, there is no reason to fear having a contingency plan and it tells him if they do not like the idea, it indicates they have no intention to make anything happen in a reasonable time. They need something to protect the CRA Board. The property was sitting for a long time and he was discouraged. He did not feel 100% about moving ahead with the project, but was willing to listen. Board Member Romelus commented at the last CRA Board meeting, the Board was disappointed in Mr. Camalier regarding him accepting the Board's proposal to pay the fee rather than build the park. She commented they will build 115 Federal Highway one way or another and wants a project that is not a piecemeal project that has a general master plan for the corridor like they had with the Town Square. They are equal partners in the discussion. They do not have to develop 115 Federal Highway, but she thought it would be smart to develop it with their neighbors to have a project that will work for the next 50 years. She wanted to look at the project, and realize they have a partner. She wanted action behind words and thought the next step is to have a discussion with the CRA Director and the parties to show interest in working with the Board in whatever format it may be and then decide what they are looking for and how they should issue the RFP. Jeff Burns, CEO of Affiliated Development, commented he was aware the Board was looking for a partnership and his organization constructed half a billion dollars in public private partnerships. He suggested the Board have a lot more discretion and flexibility with its partner. As to the surrounding property owners and businesses, the partner should have the ability to account for said nuances that are outside of the boundaries of the property. He urged the Board to consider issuing an RFQ and find someone qualified with a successful track record with the funding in place and a list of feasible projects. He thought the area should be a destination. The conversation for this property should include some of the surrounding properties. Bill Morris, 777 E. Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, commented, for the last 22 years, he has committed himself to working in downtowns such as Delray Beach, Boca Raton and Sarasota. He and his wife were personally on $250M of full recourse loans. A project they were fortunate to win was Worthing Place. He requested the Board be flexible, whether it is TIF, the cost of land or a garage. Mr. Morris explained they received the 10 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 land for Worthing Place for free and wound up building a garage which is now valued at over $LOOM. Palmetto Place in Boca Raton has 2K to 3K residents. Mr. Morris suggested not putting limits on incentive programs, and urged the Board to think about the reality of what the Board will get as the real value is what the project means to the community. He thought it would be tough to acquire outside properties, and that the Board should be mindful of efficient garages and uses of alleyways. They were given 21 feet they did not own in Worthing Park thanks to a savvy utility director and his wife and it is now a cool pocket park. The Board could get the same thing by Dewey Park and there are good options. The project is a wonderful opportunity and he urged the Board to be mindful of impacts and the efficiency of the site. If they moved over 40 feet, they could get a 750-space parking garage. Chair Grant commented the main thing the Board has to decide on what they want in the project. They conducted a survey which showed people want commercial space. Chair Grant was at lunch at Pio and saw the First Financial Plaza. He noted there was no office space, and when 500 Ocean built 10K square feet of office space, someone bought all of it. He wants it to be easy for people to ride on Palm Tran because of intersection of Routes 73 and 1. His focus is economic development and transportation. The area is supposed to be a destination. It is not just where you work, it is where people live and play. Chair Grant thought the board did not necessarily have to agree to everything in order to move forward. He was excited to move forward with the RFP/RFQ and speak with Mr. Camalier. Chair Grant wanted to see a train station, but it was far away. He wants a Community Benefits Agreement with the CRA helping with workforce housing, apprenticeships, job fairs and local hiring requirements. Chair Grant would like to have office and retail with slightly more office space for a corporate headquarters reserved on one or two floors, while being flexible with the developer or if they wanted live work spaces, which he was fine with. Board Member Katz commented the property is zoned to a higher use and he favored reserving office space on one or two floors. He asked if the Board would be amenable to having two or three extra stories. Chair Grant would not want to take away from residential units. The feedback received from the Letters of Intent was the building would be eight or less stories due to fire codes. That is where the CRA would help with the funding from TIF. Chair Grant was fine with a maximum of 15 stories and with workforce housing, they could build a little higher. With the CRA, County, State and Federal partners involved in the project, he was fine with having mixed income units. It does not all have to be workforce housing. Board Member Katz would be open to more height, especially if it is office space. The CRA owns the property and they can solicit adjacent properties as they see fit. He wanted to control the space of the property and not enter any agreements or be in a position to have to ask permission for a property across the street when they could have separate negotiations for the property. He did not want the 115 Federal Highway property to be tied to the property across the street. 11 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 They entered a P3 and other than the government performing, the CRA has nothing and he did not want to repeat a mistake. Vice Chair Penserga was agreeable to a proposal that included office spaces. He liked the idea of living and working in the same area. He was aware if the building is too tall, the costs would kill the project. He thought in the new normal of a post pandemic world, if people would go to the office. He wanted to see what the market would bring. Board Member Hay agreed. He asked Mr. Simon about the cost to build over eight stories, which a developer would have to agree with. He wanted to hear Mr. Camalier's ideas and did not want to lose control of the 110 Federal Highway property by tying it to the 114 property. If it is not what is laid out, they can still issue an RFP and go another route. He would listen to a plan without getting locked in. Whatever they do with 115 Federal Highway would still have a reverter clause. Chair Grant commented it worked out well for the CRA with the Magnuson House. The Board can extend it or not, but they want to hold their partner accountable they will do what they say they will do. With issuing of the RFQ, they can include the 114 N. Federal Highway property, but describe it is not necessary for a developer to propose a project on both parcels. Board Member Romelus thought Chair Grant's last point should end the conversation. She favored having a willing partner to work with the Board to redevelop the area and control and maintain their property, but there is room for talk and exploration to look at other partnership opportunities. She supported moving forward with the RFP and have Mr. Simon speak with Mr. Camalier about what they want to bring to the table. It is not binding, rather if a developer wants to respond to the RFQ knowing there is an entity to partner with them for the 114 property, they can include it in the RFQ. Mr. Simon commented he is being asked to develop an RFP on property they do not own. He was unsure they went through the bullets with regard to the survey. Chair Grant commented there is consensus for staff to talk with Mr. Camalier to come up with a joint RFP and the Board return in May for a discussion with the owners of the 114 Federal Highway and the CRA property. Mr. Simon asked if Mr. Camalier agreed to the CRA writing an RFP with his property. Board Member Romelus commented Mr. Camalier would like to partner with the Board. She thought clarification was needed if Mr. Camalier wanted his property included. Board Member Katz noted whoever proposes something for 115 has to talk to the owner of the property across the street. He queried if the reason for Mr. Camaliers involvement with 115 is for Mr. Camalier to secure financing for his project. The CRA is looking for an RFQ/RFP for private property that will use public funds and the Board has not discussed anything that the project might offer in exchange. It sounds like the property is attaching itself to 115 to gain public funding, but is guaranteeing nothing. If they put it in the RFP/RFQ, they are tying the projects and they do not know what will come out of the ground across the street. They are wrapping a private partner into the 12 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 115 property without discussing the project with the owner. Hypothetically, an age restricted facility will be put on a prime piece of land by tethering 115 to a private property across the street. They should negotiate separately. They are giving away the farm before advertising it is for sale. Chair Grant commented there is Board consensus for staff to talk with Mr. Camalier to hear what he is offering. Chair Grant wanted economic opportunities, such as office space, mass transit accommodations for rail and bus stops, and a CBA as part of the RFP/RFQ. He would leave it up to the developers for anything in addition to that to make the project profitable. He wants to work with them. He understood staff would speak with Mr. Camalier and discuss an agreement they feel is acceptable and fair and if not why and try to issue an RFP/RFQ in June. Vice Chair Penserga reiterated Mr. Camalier expressed his willingness to partner with the Board. There is nothing that stops anyone from speaking to staff. He will move forward with the RFP and be open minded. If there is a mega project with all the players in place, it was fine. He saw no reason to delay the RFP. They can all speak with one another. Vice Chair Penserga would like to see as many of the bullet points included in the RFP. It boils down to what the market has to offer. Board Member Romelus explained the 115 property is the main priority because the CRA owns it and the Board is issuing an RFQ, not an RFP with the option for the development team who may own adjacent properties to include their property in the proposed project. She thought continued discussions with all parties was needed as the CRA cannot complete the project on their own. The Board is not responsible for any development or construction for the adjacent properties owned by the developer. Vice Chair Penserga thought that information was already contained in the RFP/RFQ. The RFP aspect was similar to the Cottage District showing the Board what they want to build, versus a developer presenting their qualifications to build what the CRA wants them to build together, similar to the Town Square project. It would be a joint effort. Vice Chair Penserga commented if they issue the best RFQ, and they cannot build what was requested, he did not want to open the door for the CRA to not receive what they agreed to. Attorney Duhy recommended, if the Board was proposing to include required program elements, issuing an RFP/RFQ. This would include financials, partnership data, and the proposal would include elements they want in a program. An RFP gives broad discretion to change and negotiate the terms, but it lets someone know the important elements they want, which were previously discussed. Mr. Simon agreed. Board Member Hay thought the staff could not have a sit down with Mr. Camalier, while trying to write an RFP or RFQ at the same time. He wanted to find out the discussion with Mr. Camalier and see what direction they want to go in. He felt Mr. Camalier did not want to have his property included as part of an RFP/RFQ. Board Member Katz commented the CRA does not have a deal with Mr. Camalier. The RFP says if you apply, speak to 13 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 another property owner, which the CRA has nothing to do with. If the Board wants to partner with Mr. Camalier and incorporate his project with the 115 property, it is a discussion that needs to take place before an RFP/RFQ is issued. They cannot ask people to bid on private property without conditions. Board Member Hay agreed Mr. Camalier explained giving his property to the City was not something he was thinking of doing and the property across the street was not vacant for 15 years. It was a bank and they left because downtown because Boynton was not a place to go. He was not at the last few meetings. He was present to say he wanted to try to work together. He is an investor who wants to maximize his efforts and working together was the focus of his message. He is working with others who may put forward a proposal. He believes the sum of the parts is greater than two individual projects. Chair Grant reviewed the Town Square RFP/RFQ, and read the language. The City is open to the proposer bringing in other properties owned by the City or private properties within the City. Mr. Camalier explained he has been talking to the Board and they felt he wanted to sit on the property and do nothing with it. He clarified he wants to do something positive and great and they have the potential to do so. If they take the Library site and build a building, it just becomes a building and the CRA will get building after building after building. He questioned if the CRA would have a center or a place where people will want to be. The more property there is to do so, the easier it becomes. Chair Grant agreed and explained they have not had the best of luck with private developers, nor has anyone pulled a permit for any mixed-use project. He felt having Mr. Camalier as part of the team was valid, although not necessarily a requirement of the RFQ, Mr. Camalier thought he would end up submitting his own proposal. Chair Grant wanted staff to speak with him regarding the RFP/RFQ. Mr. Camalier explained the purpose of him appearing was to try to turn the relationship around. Board Member Hay thought the Board could delay the RFP/RFQ for a month or two and get input from Mr. Camalier. If the Board does not like his concepts, they could still move forward. Mr. Simon explained there is no accelerated timeframe the CRA has other than what the Board has decided on. Mr. Simon has enough information to move forward with Mr. Camalier and to develop a draft RFP/RFQ, including the bullet points in the draft RFP/RFQ including the mass transportation, office space and the CBA. Attorney Duhy explained traditionally, they have incorporated CBA terms into the agreement. Chair Grant wanted to ensure the partner they have understands the Board wants the community be involved with the construction of the project. Attorney Duhy explained when they discuss the TERFA, they can discuss it further. There was consensus to discuss this at the next meeting. Chair Grant wanted to rearrange the agenda and wanted a motion to speak on item 16 A, then 15, B, C, E and then 15 A, D and F. Motion 14 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Vice Chair Penserga moved to rearrange the agenda as stated. Board Member Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 16 A Discussion and Consideration of a Purchase and Development Agreement for the Property Located at 508 E Boynton Beach Boulevard. (Heard out of order.) Mr. Simon advised they have funding available for the deposit of$100K with the balance to be appropriated in the 2021/2022 budget for closing in November 2021. Motion Board Member Hay moved to approve. Vice Chair Penserga seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Grant requested Board consensus for the property to be part of the of the 115 Federal Highway RFP/RFQ because they can buy it now. There were no objections. 15 D. Discussion of Status of Purchase and Development Agreement with Ocean One Boynton, LLC for the Ocean One project. Chair Grant noted Mr. Camalier was looking to build a park as the timeframe to construct a building within the next six months. Board Member Romelus understood they would pay the fee in lieu of building the park as building a park was not a feasible option. Mr. Camalier explained they would pay to build a park. Attorney Duhy explained they are in default under the terms of the agreement. To preserve the Board's rights, she will send a simple letter noticing them of the default. Chair Grant favored waiting an extra month before sending a letter. Mr. Camalier did not believe they were not in default. Attorney Duhy explained there is a commencement of construction date, which was last extended to March. There was an offer for a longer extension, which was not accepted and they had withdrawn the request so now the date is March. Since it passed, it is technically a default to commence construction. Ms. Miskel thought the terminology was to complete construction, but it was to commence construction. She did not think it was an issue for the Board, rather it is a technicality for which she requested direction how she should proceed. Mr. Camalier was unaware of any default as it relates to Ocean One or the park. Mr. Simon commented there were three extensions. Chair Grant thought the Board could discuss this next month. Board Member Katz had no problem with a 30-day extension, due to the confusion. He commented this is an agreement that was made and signed in exchange for land valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars and worth potentially millions for a potential private project. Mr. Camalier disagreed with Board Member Katz and explained the 60 or 70 feet of land was not buildable and he was the only person who could make the property buildable. He advised the Commission had evaluated building a park themselves. The 15 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Board had an appraisal done, which said if you have a big building and there is extra land, it is worth x dollars . Land is worth what it was worth on its own. They could not even fit a ramp to get to parking which is required under the Code, it was unbuildable. He disagreed on how valuable the land was. Board Member Katz commented he was referring to how valuable the land was to Mr. Camalier, Motion Vice Chair Penserga moved to delay the issuance of the notice of default for 30 days. Board Member Hay seconded the motion. The motion failed 2-3 (Chair Grant and Board Members Hay and Romelus dissenting.) Attorney Duhy noted the Board has not waived their right to notice the default at a later date. She agreed to contact Attorney Miskel. 15 C Discussion and Consideration of Responses to a request for Additional Information from Respondents of the RFP/RFQ for the Cottage District Infill Housing Redevelopment Project. Chair Grant noted at one time, five people applied and they are now down to one. Mr,. Simon explained the item was to discuss the request made to the Boynton Beach Cottage District LLC, Pulte Home Group, LLC, and Azure Equity, LLC, for additional information about housing prices and the Boynton Beach area median income chart. The Boynton Beach Cottage District.LLC withdrew their response after the meeting last month and Pulte withdrew their proposal yesterday, so the single proposal received during the time period was Azure Equity, LLC. That information was provided in the attachments and representative from Azure were present. The options were to select Azure Equities and commence negotiations, terminate the RFP, or request more information. Franck Gotsman, Azure Equity, was present. Chair Grant wanted to move forward working on a purchase and development agreement with the CRA. Based on the CRA's last discussion with the developer, the City wanted to rearrange their design and would likely do so with Azure. Mr. Gotsman explained they are open to a redesign and all the homes will be in the 80% to 100% of the Area Median income range. Vice Chair Penserga commented they made no mention about maintaining affordability and how to keep the homes affordable and not flipped a year after. Mr. Gotsman explained they work the highest percentage possible. There will be three parcels at 80% of AMI and the rest at 100%. The cost of construction increased and the bank is being difficult. They have come in with a product that fits the CRA with different options for houses so people can choose and upgrades should they decide. The prices of the home are $199K. They are working closely with Keturah Joseph, at the Boynton Beach CDC on the price points. They could include a park and a bus stop for the children. He tried to talk to Ms. Oyer and left messages with her brother to include the property next to it, but has not been too successful. Vice Chair Penserga reiterated his concern how to 16 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 maintain affordability. Chair Grant did not want the homes to be flipped or rented. He noted they have associations, or land trusts, similar to what Habitat for Humanity does with a Community Land Trust and thought that was something the CDC could help with. Mr. Simon explained that was a different model outside the parameters of the RFP/RFQ. Mr. Gotsman commented they cannot put restrictions on people. They will work to find Boynton Beach residents to give them the first opportunities and the CDC has a list of homebuyers. He commented they cannot inform individuals they cannot sell their homes in three or four years. They are working on putting together a community that makes sense and for the long term. They are open to discussion and would be amenable to suggestions as long as it does not hinder people from purchasing the homes. Board Member Romelus was opposed to a land trust that would not allow the owner to own the property outright. The purpose of the community was to make it affordable and give the homeowners the opportunity to benefit from the equity they would build in their homes. They cannot guarantee the homes would be in affordable price ranges in perpetuity. She was not opposed to an association. Vice Chair Penserga agreed with Board Member Romelus. Mr. Gotsman explained the community can be designed in a Key West style. Motion Board Member Romelus moved to select Azure Equities. Vice Chair Penserga seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 15 E. Discussion and Consideration of Letters of Intent for the CRA-owned Property located at 401-411 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard. Mr. Simon reviewed the history of the project and the various proposals as contained in the meeting materials. Board Member Katz thought Mr. Collins' Letter of Intent should be accepted. He did not know if any of the remainder of the letters could fit into the site and liked the flexibility of what Mr. Collins was offering. Mr. Simon explained the remainder of the property that is structural is not usable and that is why they are slated for demolition. The focus of the proposal would be limited to the 401 main building on the corner. Board Members Romelus, Hay and Vice Chair Penserga supported Board Member Katz's comments. Chair Grant commented his proposal requests access to all grants and they have no more funding. They could move forward with Fish Depot, but he did not know if they would move forward without the grant funds. Board Member Romelus noted the CRA has grant funds that will be allocated in the next fiscal year and businesses, if they cannot apply now, could apply next year. Mr. Collins explained they get fish from a number of areas, some of them local and the local reefs do not support what the population will consume as there are not a lot of fish 17 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 here. They get their fish from the Keys, Louisiana, Gulf Coast, Central America and the Caribbean. His store stays on the Atlantic and Caribbean side. A portion of the shell fish and items of that natures are always frozen. Some of them are farm raised as most shrimp are farm raised. Most clams are farm raised clams grown in NW Florida and Cedar Key and grown in the wild. He learned conservation at an early age and to never catch more than you can eat. He needs a wholesale and retail dealer license for fresh and saltwater fish. A license from NOAH for reef fish is needed if buying directly from fisherman. He noted China is trying to buy the rights to the Bahamas fisheries. He has cooperated with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Division multiple times. Mr. Collins advised they had three full-time and a part time employee. Now they would have a minimum of five or six, four full time and two to three-part timers. Allison Moore Timms, Program Development Director, Chris Noel's Vetsville Cease Fire House, Inc. explained Vetsville was given a facility by Boynton Beach 25 years ago and they have continuously operated a homeless shelter on NW 19th Avenue for at least 10 residents every night. They have extensive support from the veterans' community, such as the VFW. She was raised in Boynton Beach. Her mother was active during the war and the connection within the veteran's community is tremendous. She announced there is not one veterans thrift store in Boynton Beach or the County They have the resources and could be operational in 60 days. Her intent is to provide therapy through art for the veterans and wants to hire eight to 10 people. She wanted to turn the side lot and the structure into a gallery/retail space including outdoor art. They could get a muralist. She is looking for an opportunity and a chance to launch something different. There is much they can bring to the community. Two thousand dollars for rent is a safe number for her, but permitting may take a bit longer. They would like to increase their presence is Boynton Beach and there is a lot they could do with the community at large, the schools and ROTC. She requested her application be considered. Chair Grant wished they would have met sooner and advised there is vacant space in the City. He thanked her for submitting her letter of intent. Fernando Vargas,1060 Audace Avenue, explained his wife is a police officer and that area is not a safe neighborhood. The proposal was three buildings, but now it is a corner lot and he would need more space. He proposed a creative center. The budget he put together was for 409 or 411. He can increase rent and foot traffic and they can hire full and part-time employees. Chair Grant wanted to help find them a location. The City also issued an RFP for innovation space at City Hall. He hoped they would hear more on that soon. Mr. Vargas explained what his business does. The CRA policy is to go out to RFP when more than one LOI is received. Attorney Duhy explained it could be waived. Discussion followed they should rank the respondents Board Member Katz commented knowing that some property is not available, he favored working with Mr. Collins, and if it fell through, they could contact other interested parties. He did not want to rank them as some proposals do not adhere to the property 18 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach; Florida April 13, 2021 and part of it is being torn down. Mr. Simon explained staff gave all applicants the disposition of the three buildings and it was very clear, two of the buildings would be demolished. Vice Chair Penserga seconded the motion. Mr. Muscatello advised they looking at the building on the corner and their goal was to bring their business on Gateway off High Ridge Road to the new location to consolidate it. They understood the two building would be demolished. Mr. Muscatello explained 212 S. Federal Highway was under contract last year, but the developer pulled out of the deal. He had no objection to anything that was occurring, but he commented their proximity needs to be near the Marina and they have to have rent that is affordable. If he could bring his two facilities together, they could afford higher rent. They do not take a salary, it goes to the employees. They are a three-month business from the middle of June to the middle of September and the locals do not like to dive in water under 80 degrees. He hoped there was an affordable location. Vote The motion passed unanimously.. 14. Public Hearing 15. Old Business A. CRA's Small Business Disaster Relief Forgivable Loan Program Update Ms. Nicklien reviewed this program assisted 101 CRA businesses affected by the pandemic. The program requires recipients to submit paperwork one year later in order to have the loan forgiven. As of April 6th, 86 of the 101 CRA businesses have submitted the required documents and had their loans forgiven. The CRA staff has noted some businesses had challenges meeting the loan requirements to forgive the loans and staff has recommended some changes. Staff also recommends that rent or mortgage expenses should be considered eligible expenses if the recipient did not already receive other rental assistance from the CRA. This would expand the time allowed for repayment. Motion Board Member Hay moved to approve the recommendations. Board Member Romelus seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Tim Collins thanked the Board for their support. Chair Grant explained the Board will approve the lease at the next meeting and he will have access. B. Discussion and Consideration of Fiscal Year 2020-2021 CRA Business Promotions & Events Schedule 19 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 Ms. Coppin reviewed the activities planned, which included the Rock the Marina, the Lionfish Derby, Rock the Plaza, Rock the Block and a new Boynton Beach Night Market. The CRA does not host business promotional events in the summer due to rain, so the events are rain or shine. Chair Grant asked if staff could purchase rain insurance. The way the contract is written is the CRA is protected against cancellation. Chair Grant supported the events and requested Rock the Block be held sooner than later. Ms. Coppin commented staff needed more than a month, but may be able to hold it in June. There is a Rock the Plaza scheduled for June 18th or 19th, which they could push outward. Chair Grant wanted to hold it June 25th or the 26th. The Lionfish Derby is in June. Vice Chair Penserga asked about the plan for the night market as there are businesses down the street. Ms. Coppin explained they have identified 53 vendor spaces at the amphitheater and they would invite businesses in and outside of the CRA area. She was working with John Durgan. Mr. Simon confirmed the funding was previously approved and a consensus was needed to start moving forward with these events. Then they would think about Pirates Fest for next year. C. Discussion and Consideration of Responses to a Request for Additional Information from Respondents of the RFP/RFQ for the Cottage District Infill Housing Redevelopment Project This item was heard earlier in the meeting. D. Discussion of Status of Purchase and Development Agreement with Ocean One Boynton, LLC for the Ocean One Project This item was heard earlier in the meeting. E. Discussion and Consideration of Letters of Intent for the CRA-owned Property located at 401-411 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard This item was heard earlier in the meeting, F. Discussions on Tax Increment Revenue Financing Agreements REVISED Mr. Simon explained the Board asked staff and legal about information on existing TIF agreements and Attorney Duhy put together a legal memo of items. Some items were discussed for the 115 and Ocean One items indirectly, but for future agreements, there is a large financial benefit as a result of all the projects done in association with the CRA Board's additional financing. He would like the Board to consider a clear statement of need, and a gap in the financial structure and how they arrived at the number and what is included in the agreement. He suggested when the money is repaid through the term of the agreement, if they reach that repayment or cost amount prior to the end of the term, the document expires so they would not be reimbursing the developer for taxes they are paying beyond the money they were paid. In some instances, the transfer and 20 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 sale of the properties needs to be strengthened and greater consideration should be given to include reimbursement to the CRA for the funds they provided up to that point and have the agreement terminate with the sale or transfer, especially if it involves any type of profit or additional value than what was originally established or lost. They do not want to keep paying for an item that was paid for in the sale of the property and then just be transferred to another entity that already paid for the building. Despite what developers say, if they sell a building for way more than they purchased it, they do not need CRA money and the CRA could be paid back. He thought there could be some type of equity benefit to the CRA which could be reused for the project or for a future project. The CRA should consider the particular goals the Board would want to incentivize. Not every project needs additional funding. If the Board can determine during the request for funding if the particular issue or project is an important issue and something that would qualify for the public's assistance, the benefit to the public would be more tax revenue for the City, County and CRA, but if they assist the developer and it has an overarching benefit to the public, it would be better to have some type of intent to let the developer know that a standard, mixed-use projects may not need funding. The Board needs to be diligent with what they are requesting assistance with. Board Member Hay asked when they have property that is developed and they pay a certain percentage and then they try and sell the entire project, if they could they have a policy that would make the remaining TIF payments to the developer null and void. Mr. Simon commented Item Four addressed that scenario. The CRA has wide discretion. Chair Grant asked if there was anything that would prohibit the CRA from making any sort of condition they want under Florida laws and learned the CRA's have wide discretion in the agreement to set forth specific requirements. As to the legal part of the memo, the one-page document can be used when the Board considers the next new project. It is meant to spark major issues that need attention and they could consider them case-by-case. Chair Grant liked the idea of requiring developers receive TIF because then the CRA can dictate what they want in the project. He noted for the Ocean Breeze East project, the funding they will receive this year, was not able to be put into the project, nor could they provide TIF to the Wells Landing project. He liked that they were able to require developers adhere to a CBA. Chair Grant was not worried about developers being profitable. Board Member Romelus noted developers are in the business to make money. She thought it was not a matter of penalizing them, rather if there is a necessity to provide money, the Board do so on their terms. Vice Chair Penserga did not think it was an either/or situation and he agreed the residents should receive community benefits. A developer would profit one way or another, but he questioned if a developer does receive CRA funding if it goes into their pocket or into the project. He supports the bullet points included in the agenda, but he wanted to ensure the money given goes towards finishing the project. He wants to track how the funds are being used. Chair Grant noted developers have not asked for TIF in the last five years. He thought if they want a project, they should give TIF so they have 21 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 more control over what is in the project. They want to put TIF into the 115 N. Federal Highway project. Board Member Katz appreciated the work staff put into the report. He was skeptical when developers say they cannot build the property so they will need TIF or land. The problem is when the tax agreements generate more returns for the property owner or developer than the cost of anything the CRA asks them to do, they are getting money they claim they need to fill a gap, and they are profiting off of it. Then they sell it for $20M to $30M profit. If it was so profitable, why did they need taxpayer dollars or what did the CRA get. Often one cannot see anything different than what they may have built on their own, absent public funds. He thought some of the options were well thought out and the safeguards were good. If they sell for massive profits, they should pay some of it back to some degree. Chair Grant agreed. He noted the CRA gave away the land for Family Dollar, and then sold it so they did not have to pay the short-term capital gains and the price of the land was their profit. If a developer will take money out of the project, the taxpayer should not pay. Board Member Katz noted the Board rakes people over the coals to get out of repaying $40K for affordable housing, but not from big developments. He thought funds that come back to the CRA should be earmarked for a specific use and the CRA recycle the funds. G. Discussion and Consideration of Terms for an RFP/RFQ for the CRA Project Located at 115 N. Federal Highway This item was heard earlier in the meeting. 16. New Business A. Discussion and Consideration of a Purchase and Development Agreement for the Property Located at 508 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard This item was heard earlier in the meeting. B. Discussion and Consideration of a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Larann Land Investments, LLC for Two Vacant Lots at NE 10th Avenue Motion Vice Chair Penserga moved to approve. Board Member Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. C. Discussion and Consideration of a Letter of Intent from Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County, Inc. for the CRA Owned Property located at 545 NW 11th Avenue 22 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 13, 2021 The CRA just acquired the property and the Board received a LOI for construction of affordable housing. Motion Vice Chair Penserga moved to accept the Letter of Intent and move forward with a Notice to Intent to Dispose. Board Member Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. D. Discussion and Consideration of a Tax Deed Sale for the Property Located at 221 E. MLK Jr. Boulevard Mr. Simon presented the item and announced the property is valued at $103K. He suggested not paying more than $125K. The City is a lien holder and there are maintenance liens of $4K and an outstanding water bill of$4,700. Theresa Utterback, Development Service Specialist, noted there is a larger ongoing lien accruing of $344,034.12 that is eligible for a lien reduction. The other liens are not. Chair Grant suggested matching it for $175K. Mr. Simon explained it was ok to pay $175K for one lot, but noted they just paid $175K for three lots. Chair Grant did not think they would pay the $175K for the lot. Board Member Hay thought it was overpriced. Chair Grant noted Wells Landing is building something and the property will be worth more money. If someone purchases it now, they may try to sell it to the CRA later for more money. Board Member Hay liked the idea of acquiring land to expand the property and wanted the property east of the Family Dollar. He understood sometimes they may need to pay more than they feel comfortable with, but he did not want to lose it at the same time. Motion Chair Grant suggested a maximum price of$150K. Vice Chair Penserga seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 17. Future Agenda Items A. CRA District Lighting Improvement Projects B. Revisions to the Interlocal Agreement for the Sara Sims Park Amphitheater Plans 18.
