A. Boynton High School (125 E. OceanAve.)--Rehabilitation and adaptive
reuse project update (Staff is obtaining a status update and will present
findings of the meeting).
Mr. Rumpf gave a progress report on the Old High School rehabilitation project and
advised a tour was given last week. The project stalled for a short time due to
contractual issues, but those issues were resolved and work is ongoing. The staff
report included in the meeting materials indicates work is still ongoing on some small
teas of the roof, Most Indo s were installed. Footings were also installed to provide
additional support for that portion of the building h there were first and second
cors. The footings were dug, formed, and framed with steel supports or members and
were ready for inspection. The project is under permit review by staff. He anticipated
much more to report over the next two meetings based on the Phase Il contract as i
as signed. When they complete Phase I improvements, they can continue on once
they get their permit for the additional work. Visual images were viewed as contained i
the meeting handouts. Mr. Rumpf rioted the windows are operable in the school. The
windows were complete In the gymnasium multi-purpose roc , Chair Ready inquired
about reusing the wood floors and learned Mr. Rumpf understood there was not enough
wood to use. There were a lot of trails in the floor, Mr. Rumpf will try to keep an eye on
the project. Mr. Feldman asked about the Phase 11 timeline. Mr. Rumpf recalled March
s the target completion date, but he thought they would be a few months off, He is
not involved in the contract talks, but anticipatedit would be a few months off the March
date. He also indicated a lot of what was in the building could not be preserved such as
pictures, wiring and plumbing. There has been back and forfll with permit review staff
had to determine what coda would apply to the changes or renovation and whether to
use Historic Preservation Exemption Standards or others and there are modifications
needed to the permit drawings to comply. The steel footings will be under the floor. The
use classification is also changed from a school of to a placeof assembly class and the
load is expected to increase significantly and therefore it needed much more structural
support.
Wilson asked if the Old High School had a time capsule and learned Mr. Rumpf was
unaware of any.
B. Historic plaques for designated properties—Status of establishing a
marker program (see accompanying combined staff report for update).
Mr. Rumpf explained he researched additional plaques. The plaques all have the same
shape, but different layouts. He passed around a plaque from a vendor from Boynton
Beach that had the product the Board likes the most of the materials at the last meeting.
The members viewed theadditional examples. The report indicated the oasts, but the
cost was contingent on the assumption of a larger volume. He explained the City does
not have a large number r of homes, and it would be a house-by-house asis based on
Meeting Minutes

interest from the homeowners and they would likely order one at a time. He backed off
on the estimate and was waiting for a final design, The Board had previously discussed
a price in the mid $100's per unit and he would cover the design set up fee, Mr. Rumpf
thought that may change as well, but he did not anticipate it would be too much more.
Mr. Rum was given a catalogue the plaque came from made by a company named
Grandview Aluminum Products from Illinois. If the Board wanted to move forward with
that product, they had already concluded they had most of the wording, and the script.
They discussed a logo, which was where they left off. The vendor warned Mr. Rum
about the level of detail of the logo as it is very fine and it does not show up real well.
Most do not have much detail. Chair Ready commented one plaque had a square area
where the date could be etched and noted Voncile Smith suggested ordering a quantity
of plates and then left an area to attach numbers to it at a later time. It may be less
expensive. It would be more expensive to order one at a time.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27t�l Way, suggested ordering several to get the quantity discount
and have the people who are going to get them, pay for the engraving. Chair Ready
commented the Board needed to learn what the minimum order was.
Mr. Feldman recalled Mr. Adams felt this year or the next, the number of post war
homes south of the Town Square are coming into the time-period they could be
designated as historic. He did not know if it was something the Board would want to
pursue, as it would be a big historic new area of downtown, He thought it would open a
new area. The Leisureville community would qualify as well as it had made a
contribution tote City and the neighborhood had on the development of Boynton
Beach.
Mr. Ru agreed to find out about alternatives. Chair Ready thought the fewer words
the better. There was consensus on having fewer words and the members agreed on
the words "Boynton each Historic Site".
The members discussed the logo. Mr. Feldman was unsure a logo was necessary. He
favored the words Boynton each on top, the words Historic Site on the bottom and
using a bigger plaque and each one be engraved with a different date. Mr. Tidwell
noted the plaques are mainly on homes and a few public buildings. Palm each
currently has a plaque at the clock tower, When the City improved Worth Avenue, the
clock tower was installed on the beach and they placed a plaque they that talked about
the beaching of the sea vessel Providencia, which spilled out coconuts. In the 1920's,
the City used all the coconuts and planted the along Worth Avenue. There was an
attachment plaque of the beached ship, which was stolen three times.
Ms. Black suggested using the words and putting the emblem in the middle because the
City has a website that contains all the information based on QR Codes and the Board
would not have to worry about more engraving afterwards because the location could
be accessed online. They are on the website and can be researched. She commented
there are not enough historic homes and it would cost a lot of money to get the plaques.

If they keep it simple, they could use the same plaques at the hlstoric sites without the
ate. It was noted the P Ir'n Beach plaques just say, historic landmark. Chaim° Ready
wanted, if the date was not used in the middle, to use a logo. She and Mr. Tidwell like
the ribbon on the Old High School emblem or the shield in the center, It couldb
simplified. Mr. Rumpf explained they would Ihave to give it to the vendor because some
f the limes are kind of fine. The members warded a simplified version. Mr. Ru mnpf
asked who was familiar with it and what does it mean.
Mr. Feldman favored the words Boynton Beach Historic Site, the oval shape, in terms of
logo, he lied the design cern the outside of the historic school or ;mast the etched
drawing of the Old Schoolhouse museum,. l piked the idea of the homeowner mn etch
the date onto the plaque after the fact, He thought they could order 50 or 100 plaques
and add it after the fact if the homeowner was interested.
. Tidwell agreed and liked the oral shape, keeping, the verbiage simple with Boynton
Beach Historic Site and liked something in the middle f the plaque. The date did not
ratter to him. He noted in 60 years, the dater may be more igrnifi mnt, but currently, the
dates are around the senna time.
Mr. R mnnpf clarified a logo would be raised and not etched.
Mr. Wilson was fire with the wording, but preferred a date. He agreed they do not have
may structures in the City from the 1920's and south of the Town Square, theme are a
few homes from the a n40's. He thought if i ras cost effective, they could pert
date on the plaque and have smaller iogos. He liked the logos on the [Delray Beach
plaque having Ingo on each side and making the date the emphasis the plaque. He
agreed with Mr. Feldman to use the schoolhouse logo. He also liked the one on the
school, but he granted something more schoolhouse. Chair Ready thought the logo
viewed at the last meeting was the Historical Society's logo.
Black granted to keep the plaque simple with the words Boynton Beach Historic Site
and having the logo in the middle, She would support whatever logo the Board lied.
Doing so would solve the problem of not having to order the plaques one at a time.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 22rh Way, lied the wording and suggested leaving the spot i
the mmniddie open, purchasing a bunch of plaques nd let people put their own numbers
on it. She liked the sailfish outline logo, with one facing each direction looking to the
pen spot in the center for the date. She commented there are quite a few buildings
because there are some commercialbuildings that should be designated like the
building, due to Conrad Pickel and the hOU e on t" that was Conrad PickeN Horne, the
building Fantasia, the Woman's Club, and her farnfly's buildings. She thought it would
use the City's logo advising the City is the closest location in North America to the
Gulfstrearn and a fishing area and it gives the wording looking for, but simplicity and the
ability for people to pmt the year of the building therefor individuals h care. Forthose

who do not, she thought something more generic would be appropriate. Chair Ready
pointed out the plagues have to be the same.
Chair Ready asked about consensus on the logo. Everything else is simple and can be
communicated tote vendor. Chair Ready was not familiar with the Schoolhouse
Children's Museum logo, which was a see-saw with two children. Mr. Wilson was
referring to something along the line the Historical Society has. Fie thought it may be
able to be a little different. Chair Ready agreed to ask the Historical Society and as
them for permission to use the logo. Ms. Black was fine with whatever logo the Board
selected.
Chair Ready asked should we leave space in case someone wanted to add numbers, It
was possible the numbers could be affixed through small screws, but they may be
slightly visible. Discussion returned to the logo. Mr. Tidwell asked if someone could go
on the lift at the site, someone use the lift at the Old Highcool to got a straight on
shot of the crest. Mr. Rumpf agreed to check. ra Feldman also requested finding out
the number of plaques that would need to be purchased before the Board could get a
discount. Mr. Rumpf also agreed to find out.
C. Woman's l tBeach _ Report on roof replacement work
approved and contracted for theCity's nationally-registered, 1926 Woman's
Club.
Mr. Rumpf explained the contractor started the roof work® As expected, the roof will
require further stu y as the contractor could not conduct a total assessment without roof
work. The backup materials contained the information. It was unknown at degree of
termite damage could be revealed, "rhe good news was thea was only one room
component t at needed to be replaced n it would not be a major task. They are
moving forward and hope to finish the roof by end of year and remainder of the work
done by mid-summer. The work is on track. Chair Ready noticed the inspector on site
recommended they do not exceed the weight of the replacement tile and thought if they
are concerned about the weight, why they would not consider reinforcing the roof i
case it doses exceed Mr. Hollis did not think the replacement barrel the would weigh
ore than the existing roof tiles. The roofer as to replace the same load the roof.
Thuy Shutt and Theresa UfterbaGk were overseeing the work. Chair Ready had noted
they were using pesky cypress wood andit looks like there were some areas that
ceded the wood. Chair Ready commented she happens to have some at her home
she does not need and she requested Mr. Rumpf let the CRA know they can use it to
patch.
Chair Ready asked why is it was taking so long o finish the roof, Mr. Rumpf did not
know. He spoke with CRA Staffn pointed out there were some rainy periods, which
caused some delays, but generally they are on track. He also understood the tiles were
being created forte project and the roofer is using authentic material.

D. Boynton Beach Welbsite. Update—The City's website has been completely
redesigned and the City's historic preservation information continues to be
brought into, or linked with the new site.
Mr. Rumpf explained before the last meeting, staff was still creating the City's new
website and lagging some additional components such as Historic Preservation
information. Information Technology has since been adding the necessary links. Mr.
Rumpf continues to review it and proof read the contents. It has elements needed for
the Historic Trails grant based on the City's commitment to do so as part of the grant
project. There is a desire to incorporate some materials into the new it website
Chair Ready asked what the City decided to do with the klosks and OR codes on Ocean
Avenue. Mr. Rumpf was researching the issue and understood fewer and fewer people
were using the QR systems on their phones, Information Technology staff had asked
him to consider that before they make the effort to replace the kiosks in that manner.
People are using websites more directly than using the links. It may be in
technology, Mr. Rumpf agreed to find out before the City replaces the mini-kiosks at the
project tour sites. Chair Ready asked, with the GIRS systems, if someone could just
stand in the right spot and not click on a QR code. Mr. Rumpf agreed to check with ITS.
He wants to find a better material or surface for the kiosk board as the prior, ones aged
poorly.
E. Magnuson House, 211 E. Ocean Avenue — Update on adaptive reuse
project (see accompanying combined staff report for update),
Mr. Rumpf explained at the last meeting there was question about the ownership of the
Magnuson House, The meeting material included information reflecting the CRA
activated the reverter clause and now owns the property. CRA staff is gefting estimates
for possibly relocation costs and feasibility of the structure of the home. There may be
discussions about what the property would be b used for as it pertained to the
Town Square project, but Mr. Rurnpf was not involved in the active discussion. Mr.
Simon has been discussing the project for the Time Square. Chair Ready commented it
is on the local register, and Mr. Rumpf explained the CRA is aware of it. They will
revisit the topic and whatever is done will involve this Board. They will have to have a
Certificate of Appropriateness or review action regarding its historic status, Chair Ready
favored it staying in its current location as the dream was to have a cottage district down
Ocean Avenue,

Ms. Oyer explained to the Board she had to resign from the board to go back onto the
Arts commission. She advised she is Upset as she spent five years on the Board and
loved it, and she was sad to leave. She was appreciative for former Mayor Taylor who
had originally appointed her to the Board, but the kinetic event and the its Commission
really needs a lot of help. She commented the Board functions well and everyone plays
nice. It is a well-run Board that she is not worried about, whereas she wants to make a
difference and arts needs help making a difference and participating in kinetics. She
would be around Providencia.
Rodney and Lanelle Martin explained they have a property under contract and wanted
to observe the Board as they are interested in Historic Preservation. Chair Ready noted
there was a Board vacancy and invited the to apply online.

Staff Report
This meeting deviates from a normal meeting schedule to provide the CRA staff the timely
opportunity resent an update on the Magnuson House project and obtainfeedback from
the Board. Itbrief, other project updates are summarized below.
Item ® Magnuson House, 11 E. Ocean Avenue
Executing reversionary rsi clause the salesagreement, r is again

optional uses for the propertythe possibility/feasibilityrelocating this locally-
designated historic house. The CRA staff has requested is opportunity to present
update to, and obtain feedback from this Board. See accompanying Areathe site.

There not been significant (noticeable) work completed on the project since the last
update but the project continues to progress. A summary is as follows:

water-tested for leaks;
• Most footers/foundations have been pour ontr r is usinghprivate

Item 5.C. Historic Plagues for DeiProperties
Recall from last discussion by the Boardthe preferred graphic for the desiredl-
shaped, aluminum plaqueis the emblemr crest seen highon the front fagade of the Old
High School. The board also had the idea of designing a generic plaque (without a site date)
thereby allowing a group order at a discounted rate and leaving the option of placing the
date on a purchased plaque by the respective property owner. The contact for Seacoast
Imprint estimates that 12 units would be the minimum order for a discount; however, the
magnitude of discount could not be estimated until a design is conceptualized and the base
price determined. Staff is currently working on obtaining a quality digital image of the crest
and creating a design to provide Seacoast Imprint. Any additional update will be provided at
the meeting.
Item 5 Boynton School / Schoolhouse Children's Museum (129 E. Ocean Avenue) —
City staff has prepared a scope of the work for review by the State Division of Historical
Resources, for compliance with requirements of the Special Category Grant. The grant
process includes time constraints for obtaining approval of the project scope and work
contract, as well as the overall completion deadline for the project of June 30, 2019. The
scope of work will principally include filling various cracks in the stucco exterior, exterior
repainting, and repairing or replacing loose flooring boards and removing some to
investigate subfloor condition.
