F~caIYear2006-2007
Description of Key Projects
The City of Boynton Beach's Annual Action Plan details the planned

Partnership (SHIP) and local match funds. The major focus of these
funds is as follows:
$108,268 Planning and Administrative costs associated with the
CDBG Program
$5,000 Fair Housing education to the public and private sector
$49,400 Community Caring Center -Public Service delivery by an
agency to provide emergency relief support to citizens

Organizations designated to carry out neighborhood
revitalization, community, and economic development
programs
$192,373 Housing Rehabilitation of substandard housing units for very
low, low, and moderate-income homeowners, and the
costs associated with the delivery of rehabilitation for
these housing units
$11,800 Summer Camp Scholarships for disadvantaged youth
$15,000 Education Intervention to prevent domestic violence
$25,000 Economic and Small Business Development
$605,770 State Housing Initiatives Partnership funds for new

$1,000,000 State Housing Initiatives Partnership funds for Hurricane
Housing Assistance to meet community needs {SHIP}
Location
All activities will focus within the Community Development Block
Grant {CDBG} Target Area which houses the neighborhoods
identified as those most in need of revitalization and stabilization.
However, the city will not turn away any citizen who meets the
income criteria and are in need or are living in unsuitable housing
conditions.
Housing Goals
The plan provides for the rehabilitation and emergency repair of 40
owner-occupied housing units, the emergency repair of 20 housing
units, and new homeownership opportunities for approximately 20
low and moderate-income families. Although housing rehabilitation
activities maybe citywide, priority will be given to applicants located
within the CDBG target area, as this is the area which reflects the
city's majority of very low and low-income residents. Due to the
constant increase in pricing of the city's housing market, SHIP
homebuyer activities will continue to be aimed at homebuyers
willing to locate in the target area.

CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH
ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED ACTION PLAN
FISCAL YEAR 2006-2007
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Boynton Beach entering into it's fifth year of
implementation of its five-Year Consolidated Plan for 2002-2007 as
well as it's tenth year as an entitlement community will continue to
focus on various essential issues and areas of concern relating to
the primary objectives of Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, to provide decent housing,
a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities
for of citizens, concentrating on low and moderate-income persons.
The City's Redevelopment Master Plan echo's these objectives by
encouraging the development of a community that is diversified,
progressive, balanced, self-sustaining, and stable.
This year's Action Plan includes a description of the City's plans to
utilize our formula allocation of federal Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program funding for activities and programs
consistent with the Priority Needs delineated in the Five-Year
Consolidated Plan and the statutory requirements. The City's
Community Development Department in cooperation with
Neighborhood Services, and Code Enforcement Administration will
continue its vision for effective code enforcement and refuse
collection, quality construction approval and monitoring,
maintaining and expanding the inventory of affordable housing,
creative and effective neighborhood stabilization and revitalization
strategies and aesthetic enhancements through on-going
beautification and planned development initiatives.
A description of the City's plans to utilize formula funding of
Community Development Block Grant funding for activities and
programs that are consistent with the Priority Needs as described in
the Five-Year Consolidated Plan is included in this years' Action Plan.
3
This Year's planned use of CDBG funds focuses on (among other
things) the continued preservation and expansion of the City's
affordable housing inventory, provision of subsidized child care
services and programs for children of low-income families, fair
housing education to the public and private sector, education in
intervention to prevent domestic violence, economic and small
business development, capacity building for Faith Based community
initiatives, and the provision of other needed services to homeless
and special needs persons.
The City of Boynton Beach continues to dedicate its local resources
to leverage various other funding sources in efforts to address
community development needs identified to accomplish significant
goals towards maintaining and promoting a strong viable
community.
II. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The City of Boynton Beach makes a concerted effort each year to
involve all interested citizens, organizations, homeowner's
associations and other interested persons in our Consolidated
Planning process. This year's effort to obtain citizen input and
direction during the development of our Plan was the result of an
Annual Needs Assessment Meeting held in Commission Chambers on
March 29, 2006. Final approval of the Plan by the City Commission
was granted at a public meeting held in the Commission chambers
on June 20, 2006. Residents, citizens, applicant organizations and
our network of Homeowners Associations were informed of the
meeting through advertisement in a local newspaper of general
circulation, and letters to local places of worship.
The City of Boynton Beach makes every effort each year to involve
all interest citizens, organizations, homeowner associations and
others in our Community Development Block Grant Planning process.
To ensure citizen input, the City of Boynton Beach has always gone
beyond the required advertisement, by maintaining a database of
4
all active CIVIC organizations within the community. Information
regarding this program is disseminated to these organizations in an
effort to keep them informed.
The City further utilizes an oversight committee of its citizenry to assist
staff in reviewing requests for funding from sub-recipients.
III. OTHER AVAILABLE RESOURCES
A. Community Development Block Grant
The City of Boynton Beach expects to receive $541,341 in CDBG
funds for fiscal year 2006/2007. These dollars will be used to
provide owner-occupied housing rehabilitation and the delivery
costs associated with it to include emergency repairs, acquisition
and relocation costs associated with the development of The
Heart of Boynton Project, Fair Housing activities, Economic
Development associated with job creation and retention,
Domestic Violence advocacy education, and administrative
costs associated with the CDBG program.
B. Matching Funds
The City of Boynton Beach receives State Housing Initiatives
Partnership Program (SHIP) Funds, which may be used to fulfill
match requirements of federal funds. SHIP funds are used for
housing rehabilitation, down payment assistance, gap financing,
and closing costs associated with housing delivery. The City's
allocation for Fiscal Year 2006/2007 is expected to be $61 6,343
with 14% allocated for new construction, 41 % allocated for
rehabilitation, 32% allocated for homeownership and
rehabilitation, 10% allocated for administrative costs, and 3%
allocated for home ownership counseling. The City has been
granted an additional $1,000,000 to be expended over the next
three years in emergency Hurricane funds from the SHIP program,
which it intends to use for hurricane disaster prevention and
recovery, land acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and
the purchase of existing properties.
5
The City of Boynton Beach also anticipates applying for its share of
additional CDBG dollars from the State of Florida in conjunction with
Palm Beach County Housing and Community Development for
hurricane damages resulting from hurricane Wilma.
The City's SHIP program is targeted to provide increased funding in
support of our owner occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program, as
well as the primary funding source for the City's successful first-time
home- buyer program. This program provides homeownership
opportunities for families and households with incomes of up to 120%
of the Median Family Income (MFI) for Palm Beach County. The Infill
Construction program supports new construction activities as well as
the acquisition/rehabilitation of existing units.
The City of Boynton Beach continues with its redevelopment efforts
with the project know as The Heart of Boynton by allocating
$1,000,000 of general funds to continue with the acquisition of land.
The City enjoys a definitive agreement with Clipper Cove Multi
Family complex under terms agreed upon as a result of its
participation for bond financing. Due to the property having been
refinanced, it is uncertain exactly what the City's share will be,

and commercial development. Its efforts to combat poverty have
focused on educational opportunities, job counseling, credit
counseling, as well as economic development. All of these efforts
are aimed specifically at sustaining its communities.
VII. LEAD BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION
Only 1.5 % of the city's housing stock was built prior to 1972, and
renters occupy 23% of those, combined with the city being primarily
low density in nature, the potential for problems from lead based
paint is not as probable as in most areas. The Palm Beach County
Health Division responds to suspected incidences of lead based
paint poisoning and routinely tests the young children of its clients.
Although lead based paint does not appear to be a serious issue in
the City of Boynton Beach, staff has been trained, certified and
currently adheres to regulations that require testing and mitigation
where applicable all units being rehabilitated using CDBG funding
built prior to 1978, and make risk assessments. During the 2005/2006
fiscal year, there were no housing units affected by this regulation.
This measure is to determine the necessary measures to be taken in
order to create a safe environment for families occupying properties
that are suspect of being contaminated as required by HUD's Lead-
Based Final Rule, which was effective September 2000. (24 CFR 35).
10
VIII. PUBLIC HOUSING
Public Housing within the City Of Boynton Beach is currently
administered through the Palm Beach County Housing Authority,
which in joint partnership with the City of Boynton Beach is currently
undertaking a project to demolish the existing units within the Cherry
Hills subdivision. These units have been deemed substandard, and
beyond rehabilitation. The Authority is planning to replace these
units with new units on other property it owns, and the city will make
every effort to assist the tenants as first priority with replacement
housing.
The needs of that group are currently assisted by the following local
agencies:
A. Mad Dads of Boynton Beach
Currently tutors approximately 75 Section 8 and public housing
students at a local middle school in partnership with the Urban
League of Palm Beach County and the local school district. It
facilitates a summer academic enrichment camp with 110
students as well as an after school program at a local middle
school. Emphasis was placed on Mathematics, Science, Social
Studies, and English.
B. The Boynton Beach Faith Based CDC
Currently offers Youth and Family Development Initiatives, and
business and skill development initiatives that were designed
specifically with this target group in mind. These residents are
the priority group for their housing initiative as well. A housing
authority staff person serves on this agency's board of directors.
This agency also facilitates a peer group of forty elementary
students called "The Peace Keepers". Comprised of third,
fourth and fifth graders and the assistance of two schools, the
focus with this group is academic achievement. This group of
economically disadvantaged children is also exposed to

IX. OTHER ACTIONS (GENERAL) TO BE UNDERTAKEN
A. Address Obstacles to Meeting Under-served Needs
The City of Boynton Beach is committed to meeting the needs
of its diverse citizens. The city is constantly involved with
numerous initiatives and collaborations with various agencies
and service provider organizations dedicated to meeting the
needs of our citizenry. Our mixture of programming efforts
utilizing CDBG and SHIP funding with general revenue allows us
to impact numerous needy families and households on an
annual basis. Our networks of Homeowners/Neighborhood
Associations foster communication throughout the City at the
neighborhood and resident level. Each and every obstacle is
addressed as it presents itself to the City and the Community
Development Division.
B. Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing
The City is committed to the preservation of its current inventory
of affordable residential housing units through the availability of
several essential ongoing rehabilitation programs and
neighborhood beautification initiatives. Our first time affordable
housing program and housing rehabilitation program utilizes key
funding made available under the State of Florida's State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program.
In view of the housing the high cost of housing within Palm
Beach County and median price range of $250,000 in Boynton
Beach, The city utilizes SHIP funds for very low, low-mod families
by leveraging dollars to assist First time home owners in achieving
the American dream of homeownership. More importantly, the
City of Boynton Beach has also partnered with the Boynton
Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, who has set aside
funding to leverage as much as $50,000 for each applicant
attempting to purchase housing with its CRA boundaries. During
the 2006/07 fiscal year, the City of Boynton Beach is attempting
to increase its affordable housing inventory by at least 15 units.
12
C. Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City's Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) delineates steps
taken to eliminate barriers to affordable housing throughout the
City. Currently the City is experiencing a shortage of vacant
parcels for infill housing purposes.
D. Reduce the Number of Poverty Level Families
As described throughout this document, the City's holistic
approach to Community Development provides various
programming efforts and initiatives are aimed at reducing the
number of poverty level families. Various partnerships with social
service and housing providers greatly increase the effectiveness
and efficiency of our commitment to reducing poverty.
E. Develop Institutional Structure
The City of Boynton Beach relies heavily upon various
organizations to provide for its citizenry to fulfill its obligation to
address our priority needs. These organizations are as follows:
· Local Initiatives Support Corporation (L1SC)
· Palm Beach County Division of Human Services
· Palm Beach County Affordable Housing Collaborative
· (A Consortium of Local Banks)
· Palm Beach County Housing and Community Development
· The Lords Place
· Adopt-A-Family
· The Department of Children and Family Services
· Fair Housing Center of the Greater Palm Beaches, Inc.
· Consumer Credit Counseling
· Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County
· Aid for Victims of Domestic Assault (A VDA)
· Committed Citizens Concerned about our Children
13
The collaboration between the City of Boynton Beach and these
agencies is considered to be very proficient. The Community
Improvement Division refers the city's citizens to any of these
agencies on a regular basis, and usually has positive results.
F. Enhance Coordination Between Public and Private Housing
and Social Service Agencies
The City of Boynton Beach continues to make an intense effort to
inform its citizens of all resources that are available to them. The
Community Development Division keeps a data base with
contacts and numbers and often makes referrals to appropriate
agencies as needed. These agencies also seNe as a vehicle to
provide statistics indicating the number of citizens receiving
seNices, which also is a good indication as to the types of seNices
that are needed.
X. MONITORING
The City Of Boynton Beach continues to monitor CDBG funded
projects, activities, initiatives and sub-recipients in accordance with
regulations and statutes. The Community Improvement Division has
developed and implemented a process for monitoring all sub-
recipients that receive assistance for public seNice related activities.
Construction supeNision of rehabilitation projects is conducted by
City of Boynton Beach certified inspection staff during the entire
rehabilitation process. Sub-recipients of CDBG funded activities enter

CERTIFICATIONS
In accordance with the applicable statutes and the regulations governing the
consolidated plan regulations, the jurisdiction certifies that:
Affirmatively Further Fair Housing - The jurisdiction will affirmatively further fair
housing, which means it will conduct an analysis of impediments to fair housing
choice within the jurisdiction, take appropriate actions to overcome the effects
of any impediments identified through that analysis, and maintain records
reflecting that analysis and actions in this regard.
Anti-displacement and Relocation Plan - It will comply with the acquisition and
relocation requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and implementing regulations at
49 CFR 24; and it has in effect and is following a residential anti-displacement
and relocation assistance plan required under section 104(d) of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, in connection with any
activity assisted with funding under the CDBG or HOME programs.
Drug-Free Workplace - It will or will continue to provide a drug-free workplace
by:
1. Publishing a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture,
distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance is
prohibited in the grantee's workplace and specifying the actions that will be
taken against employees for violation of such prohibition;
2. Establishing an ongoing drug-free awareness program to inform employees

unless the Federal agency has designated a central point for the receipt of
such notices. Notice shall include the identification number(s) of each
affected grant;
6. Taking one of the following actions, within 30 calendar day of receiving
notice under subparagraph 4(b), with respect to any employee who is so

behalf of it, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer
or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee
of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with
the awarding of any Federal contract, making of any Federal grant, the
making of any Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative
agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment or
modification of any Federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement;
31
2. If any funds other than Federally appropriated funds have been paid or will
be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or
employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of
Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this
Federal contract, grant, loan or cooperative agreement, it will complete and
submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying", in

Specific CDBG Certifications
The Entitlement Community certifies that:
Citizen Participation - it is in full compliance and following a detailed citizen
participation plan that satisfies the requirements of 24 CFR 91.105.
Community Development Plan - Its consolidated housing and community
development plan identifies community development and housing needs and
specifies both short-term and long-term community development objectives
that provide decent housing and expand economic opportunities primarily for
persons of low and moderate-income (see CFR 24 570.2 and CFR 24 part 570).
Following a Plan - It is following a current Consolidated Plan (or Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy) that has been approved by HUD.
Use of Funds -It has complied with the following criteria:
1. Maximum Feasible Priority. With respect to activities that expect to be
assisted with CDBG funds, it certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so
as to give maximum feasible priority to activities that benefit low and
moderate-income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or
blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee certifies
are designed to meet other community development needs having a
particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and
immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and other
financial resources are not available.
2. Overall Benefit. The aggregate use of CDBG funds during program year(s)
2005, 2006, and 2007 (a period specified by the grantee consisting of one,
two, or three specific consecutive program years), shall principally benefit
persons of low and moderate-income in a manner that ensures that at least
70 percent of the amount is expended for activities that benefit such persons
during the designated period.
3. Special Assessments. It will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public
improvements assisted with CDBG funds (including Section 108 loan
guaranteed funds) by assessing any amount against properties owned and
occupied by persons of low and moderate-income, including any fee
charged or assessment made as a condition of obtaining access to such
public improvements.
However, if CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of a fee or
assessment that relates to the capital costs of public improvements (assisted
in part with CDBG funds) financed from other revenue sources, an
33
assessment or charge may be made against the property with respect to the
public improvements financed by a source other than CDBG funds.
The jurisdiction will not attempt to recover any capital costs of public
improvements assisted with CDBG funds, including Section 108, unless the
CDBG funds are used to pay the proportion of fee or assessment attributable
to the capital costs of public improvements financed from other revenue
sources. In this case, an assessment or charge may be made against the
property with respect to the pubic improvements financed by a source other
than CDBG funds. Also, in the case of properties owned and occupied by
moderate-income (not low-income) families, an assessment or charge may
be made against the property for public improvements financed by a source
other than CDBG funds if the jurisdiction certifies that it lacks CDBG funds to
cover the assessment.
Excessive Force - It has adopted and is enforcing:
1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies
within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in non-violent civil rights
demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically
barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of
such non-violent civil rights demonstrations within its jurisdiction.
Compliance With Anti-discrimination Laws - The grant will be conducted and
administered in conformity with Title VI or the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC
2000d), the Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601-3619) and implementing regulations.
Lead-Based Paint - Its notification, inspection, testing and abatement
procedures concerning lead-based paint will comply with the requirements of
24 CFR 570.608.
Compliance With Laws - It will comply with applicable laws.

2. The certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance is
placed when the agency awards the grant. If it is later determined that

requirements of the Drug-Free Workplace Act, HUD, in addition to any
other remedies available to the Federal Government, may take action
authorized under the Drug-Free Workplace Act.
3. For grantees other than individuals, Alternate I applies. (This IS the
information to which jurisdictions certify.)
4. For grantees who are individuals, Alternate II applies. (Not applicable
jurisdictions. )
5. Workplaces under grants, for grantees other than individuals, need not be
identified on the certification. If known, they may be identified in the grant
application. If the grantee does not identify the workplaces at the time of
application, or upon reward, if there is no application, the grantee must
keep the identity of the workplace(s) on file in its office and make the
information available for Federal inspection. Failure to identify all known
workplaces constitutes a violation of the grantee's drug-free workplace
requirements.
6. Workplace identifications must include the actual address of buildings (or
parts of buildings) or other sites where work under the grant takes place.
Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g., all vehicles of a mass transit
authority or State highway department while in operation, State
35
employees in each local unemployment office, performers in concert
halls or radio stations).
7. If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the
performance of the grant, the grantee shall inform the agency of the
changers), if it previously identified the workplaces in question (see
paragraph 5).
8. The grantee may insert in the space provided below the site(s) for the
performance of work done in connection with the specific grant:
Place of Performance (Street address, city, county, state, zip code)
City of Boynton Beach
Community Improvement Division
100 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard
Boynton Beach, FL 33435
Check if there are workplaces on file that are not identified here (the
certification with regard to the drug-free workplace required by 24 CFR part
24, subpart F).
9. Definitions of terms in the Non-procurement Suspension and Debarment
common rule and Drug-Free Workplace common rule apply to this
certification. Grantee's attention is called, in particular, to the following
definitions from these rules:
"Controlled substance" means a controlled substance in Schedules I
through V of the Controlled Substances Act (21 USC 812) and as further
defined by regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through 1308.15);
"Conviction" means a finding of guilt (including a plea of nolo
contendere) or imposition of sentence, or both, by any judicial bOdy
charged with the responsibility to determine violations of the Federal or
State criminal drug statutes;
"Criminal drug statute" means a Federal or non-Federal criminal statute
involving the manufacture, distribution, dispensing, use or possession of
any controlled substance;
"Employee" means the employee of a grantee directly engaged in the
performance of work under a grant, including (i) all "direct charge"
employees; (ii) all "indirect charge" employees unless their impact or
involvement is insignificant to the performance of the grant, and (Hi)
temporary personnel and consultants who are directly engaged in the
performance of work under the grant and who are on the grantee's
payroll. This definition does not include workers not on the payroll of the
36
grantee (e.g., volunteers, even if used to meet a matching requirement;
consultants or independent contractors not on the grantee's payroll; or
employees of sub-recipients or subcontractors in covered workplaces).
37
MONITORING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES
Boynton Beach will monitor activities under its federal grant program and initiate
monitoring plans for new programs as they are developed to meet the specific
requirements of those programs. Key elements of the monitoring plan are:
1. Negotiate a project or activity specific sub-recipient agreement that
identifies and quantifies the activities to be implemented and includes a
budget showing the specific expenditures authorized.
2. Require monthly status reports and establish an on-site monitoring schedule
based on the nature and complexity of the activity and the amount of the
funds involved.
3. Provide technical assistance and training when the sub-recipient requests or
requires it.
4. Review request for payment or reimbursement to assure that proper
documentation is provided and that expenditures are for eligible activities
under applicable rules and regulations, and authorized under the sub-
recipient agreement.
5. Assure sub-recipients meet federal single audit requirements and review
audits to assure that concerns and findings are addressed.
6. Assure compliance with other program requirements, such as labor standards
and fair housing laws, through in-depth monitoring and program review.

II. Overview of COSG Program
A. History
Ms. Sherrod explained this is the annual public meeting required by the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds.
The purpose of the meeting is to gather input and get recommendations to what the block grant
dollars should be used for. These are funds that come to some states and local governments
based on population and poverty levels that are used to address identified needs within the
community.
B. National Obiective
The National Objectives were to
· Benefit low and moderate-income persons
· Address slum and blight
· A particular urgent community development need.
Ms. Sherrod reviewed the three national objects. She emphasized the third item was the funds
could be used to address "a particular urgent community development need". In the past with
Hurricanes Frances and Jean, some dwellings were severely damaged and displaced a lot of
people. The funds were used to assist those persons for a variety of issues as noted on the list
of types of eligible activities.

III. Using Sub-recipients
A. Application Workshop Thursdav. April 6. 2006
9:00 - 11 :00 A.M. (Commission Chambers)
Ms. Sherrod noted the workshop as above.
IV. Public Audience
Ms. Sherrod opened the floor for questions and the input of the general public. The allocation
for Fiscal Year 2005/2006 was cut from $636,000 to $602,000. The funds are anticipated to go
down another $100,000 in fiscal year 2006/2007. Those are the indications as to approximately
what the funding would be. Ms. Sherrod indicated our leaders have visited Washington, D.C. in
an effort to keep the program funded. They have expressed many concerns about the local
needs. She encouraged anyone in the audience who is visiting Washington D.C., to help
express the urgency and need for the program because they know what the needs are in the
community.
The following questions and comments were received:
David Zimet: How will the downsize in budget affect Ms. Sherrod's set of priorities?
Ms. Sherrod responded staff presents their list of priorities to the City Commission who
ultimately determines and sets the priorities for the funding. Ms. Sherrod noted the grant allows
20% of the grant funds to be used for planning and administration and to pay for salaries,
planning, supplies, etc. One sub-recipient the City generally funds is the Fair Housing Center of
the Palm Beaches. This is a major concern because the organization helps the City facilitate
the requirements for fair housing for purchasing homes, disseminating information to the public
about how fair housing is administered and how it should be upheld. Fifteen percent of the
funds are eligible to be used for public services such as AFDA domestic programs, mentoring
programs, and Citizens Concerned about our Children. Ms. Sherrod noted housing is an issue.
The City is interested in the success of businesses in the community and wants to draw
businesses into the community. With jobs, people can maintain and obtain housing. The
funding is needed to ensure these things continue in the community. The priorities are
dependent upon the City Commission.
Ms. Sherrod requested the public's comments.
Peggy Deal of the Palm Beach County Resource Center: Are there any local issues that would
cause a shift or any objectives of the commission that would be looked at? Small business is
always needed for the tax base, but there are other issues that can be addressed?
Ms. Sherrod responded she could not say what the City Commission at this point will indicate as
their priorities.

Meeting Minutes
COBG Public Participation Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
March 29, 2006
Peggy Deal: Do you foresee, because of the national climate that the budget will continue to
shrink over the next five or six years?
Ms. Sherrod responded from her mail and different interest groups, there is a major lobbying
effort to keep this money available for communities. They are desperately working to keep the
program alive. She expressed her hope the funds will stay at a level that will allow
accomplishments to be made in our area, with housing, jobs and the education of children all
important factors in our communities.
Mr. Hamilton: Is there CDBG funding for small businesses?
Ms. Sherrod invited Ms. Deal to respond to the question.
Ms. Deal responded they used to be the minority business center and received funding for 14
years, but a shifting of the federal budget cut the program. Six centers in Florida were closed
but one reopened in the Miami area. They then formed a non-profit to continue to provide
information to the small business community. There is counseling and training, but no other
organization provides hands on training. They tied their funding with the local government.
They have been proactive and assisted with everything from start up, corporation, occupational
licenses, workers compensations issues, with their aim being very hands on. If they need a
loan, they do the loan package and all the due diligence processes involved. The Director has
packaged loans and not one loan package has been denied. They are a non-profit agency and
will do what is in the best interest of the small business client. They provide management
assistance, financial, legal, real estate, etc. They were funded by the City of Boynton, Delray,
Riviera, West Palm Beach and they subsidize the costs of these services. She provided an
example of a construction management program at FAU, which was a stand-alone program that
was made possible because the City of Boynton Beach provided the grant funds. The first class
that attended the class had a general contractor who had been in business and was making
about $300,000 per year in gross income. In 18 months he went up over a million dollars.
Ms. Sherrod added it is not uncommon for their office to receive calls about how to get started.
There are existing businesses, and the mom and pop businesses. She always sends them to
the resource center. They also steer them to other funding sources to obtain grants for their
businesses. They have been quite helpful.
Mr. Zimet: We provide homebuyer education and help people prepare to receive SHIP funds
(State Housing Initiative Partnership) funds, which go to municipalities for homebuyer
assistance. First time homebuyer means an individual has not owned a home in three years.
He explained current rents could be a mortgage payment. They also have a handyman
program, which helps people, more specifically, the elderly and infirmed who cannot do their
own maintenance. They also work with code enforcement and assist with the repairs for
appropriate individuals via volunteers, who clean up the yards, put down sod, help with
irrigation, etc.
Ann Wright: Right now they are working with employment assistance programs. They assist
individuals with their resumes and go on-line for job searches. Once they get set up for an
interview, they try to obtain training for them. The also do community outreach with a
Thanksgiving Assistance Program. During the hurricane, they fed many people. They are
trying to build a low-income elderly facility in the community.

Meeting Minutes
COBG Public Participation Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
March 29, 2006
Ms. Sherrod noted a lot of elderly people can no longer maintain housing, and can't afford to
rent or go to nursing facilities. The COC is designing and accumulating land to develop
affordable housing.
Patience Bebbe: Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse is a 24 hour domestic abuse shelter they
provide wherein an individual would stay approximately six to eight weeks. They have transition
programs also in place. Last year there were about 6,000 arrests in Palm Beach County and
many go unreported. This is the number one crime in the county. In Boynton Beach, six calls a
day are domestic related. They have outreach services, shelters, and education programs in
the schools.
Ms. Sherrod: The City of Boynton Beach funds the educational component here in the schools.
A VOA is the only organizations on this side of the. county to provide these services.
Mr. Hamilton: Citizens Concerned with our Children indicated they focus on community-based
children's services. They have targeted children who may not make it to the after school tutorial
programs, or those associated with the Police Athletic League (PAL) who may not be doing well
in school. They wanted to work with the schools and provide the tutoring. They help them
obtain supplies and also help other community-based organizations obtain supplies. They
consult with the schools to learn what to get these other organizations to extend the services
further out into the community. Mr. Hamilton was a small business owner and would like to see
who they can help. He would like to assist develop students to become more employable as
they move through the system.
Ms. Sherrod closed the floor to comments and indicated she has applications available.
Anyone wishing to have applications e-mailed was invited to provide their e-mail address.
v. Adjournment
There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.

SUMMARY OF THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
The Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) was created by
Congress with the passage of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974, as amended. Section 101(c) of the Act [42 U.S.C. 5301(c)] outlines the
following: "The primary objective of Title 1 of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, and of the Community Development
Program of each grantee under the Title is the development of viable urban
communities, by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and
expanding economic opportunities, principally to persons of low- and moderate-
income. Consistent with this primary objective, not less than 70.0 percent of CDBG
funds received by a grantee shall be used in accordance with the applicable
requirement for activities that benefit persons of low- and moderate-income."
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) places
administrative responsibility for the CDBG Program in the City of Boynton Beach on
the City Commission. In an effort to create viable urban settings, principally for
persons of low- and mOderate-income, the Community Improvement Division may
utilize such programs as: Housing Rehabilitation, Emergency Assistance,
Relocation, Capital Improvements, Demolition, Economic Development and Public
Service Programs.
The Community Improvement Division, Department of Development, established
CDBG Planning and Target Areas through the adoption of the Six-Year
Redevelopment Plan during 1991. The Plan identified NeighborhoOd Strategy Areas
