At the age of 15, he invented braille as a reading and writing system for people who are visually impaired. Whereas, braille is a tactile representation of alphabetic and numerical symbols using six dots to represent each letter and number, and even musical, mathematical and scientific symbols. Whereas, braille is used in nearly every country in the world, and there is a braille code for almost every language. World Braille Day is a reminder of the importance of accessibility and independence for people who are blind or visually impaired. Whereas, Braille Club of Palm Beach County, Inc. has been serving the blind and visually impaired residents of Palm Beach County since 1935. Whereas, the City of Boynton Beach pledges to continue to support individuals who are blind or visually impaired and we welcome the Braille Club to the City of Boynton Beach.

Requested Action by Commission: Presentation of the City's Climate Action Plan Annual Update by Rebecca Harvey, Sustainability Coordinator. Explanation of Request: The Boynton Beach City Commission adopted the 2020 Climate Action Plan (CAP) on March 3, 2020 via Resolution No. R20-021. The 2020 CAP offers a robust set of strategies and actions to reduce Boynton Beach's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This plan reflects the latest science, aligns with international standards for GHG reduction, integrates the City's other strategic planning goals and initiatives, and emphasizes the importance of ongoing, equitable community engagement. This presentation will provide an update on the GHG inventories for City Operations and the Boynton Beach Community, and a report on implementation progress across the general categories of Transportation, Buildings, and Waste. How will this affect city programs or services? The CAP serves as the main guiding document for sustainability in the City. While geared primarily toward GHG reduction, the CAP strategies are expected to produce a number of additional benefits for the people, economy, and environment of Boynton Beach. These co -benefits include Cost Savings, Economic Development, Public Health, Ecosystem Protection, and Climate Resilience. The adoption and implementation of the CAP enable the City to fulfill its commitments to climate mitigation planning and to benchmark progress at both the regional and global levels. The City is a member of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, and the Cities Race to Zero. Fiscal Impact: Funding for CAP actions is determined on a project -by -project basis. Funding for sustainability in City operations comes from multiple sources including the Utilities Administration budget, the City Capital Improvement Program (CI P), and the Utilities CI R Community -wide GHG reduction initiatives are supported in part through the Green Building/Sustainable Community Fund with revenue collected from the Green Building Fee. The City also takes advantage of grant opportunities from federal, state, local, and private funders to support City and community -wide climate action.

Requesting Member of ft! dliity� Commission Page 43 of 341 Consent Agenda 1/18/2022 Requested Action by Commission: Proposed Resolution No. R22-010 - Amend the FY 2021-22 budget, which will adjust budgeted appropriations and revenue sources and provide spending authority for the General Fund (001), Capital Improvement Funds (302 & 303), the Utility Capital Improvement Funds (403 & 404), the Solid Waste Fund (431), and the Fleet Fund (501) for previous years Purchase Orders plus unspent project budgets. Explanation of Request: The FY 2021-22 Budget was adopted in September of 2021, before identifying all prior year CIP purchase orders - this occurs in late October thru December. As such, the FY 2021-22 Adopted Budget for various Capital Improvement Projects and the related account line items need to be adjusted to reflect outstanding FY20-21 purchase order encumbrances. This type of budget amendment is part of the annual budget process. The Budget adjustment will increase the Fund's total appropriation which requires City Commission approval. The City's practice for all City funds is that any operating budget and unspent appropriations are cancelled at the end of each fiscal year and the unspent money becomes part of the fund balance of each fund. Most capital projects span multiple years and continue into the following year. Under best budgeting practices and governmental accounting standards, these funds should be re -appropriated to provide the continued spending authority for these projects. Accordingly, during FY 2021-22 budget modifications will be made to various Funds, see Exhibit A, staff is requesting Commission approval. • The General Fund will be amended for Fund 001 from $102,634,803 to $102,643,553 due to prior year encumbrances related to Fire department training. • The Capital Improvement Fund will be amended for Fund 302 from $3,842,327 to $5,196,099 and Fund 303 will be amended from $6,944,623 to $9,514,339 all due to prior year encumbrances and available prior year project budgets. • The Water & Sewer Utility Capital Funds will be amended for Fund 403 from $26,307,947 to $40,228,635 and for Fund 404 from $4,900,000 to $7,090,141 due to both prior year encumbrances and prior year available project budget. • The Solid Waste Fund will be amended from $11,788,142 to $11,888,142 due to a prior year purchase order for containers. • The Fleet Fund will be amended from $9,863,114 to $13,690,784 due to prior year encumbrances related to vehicle purchases. How will this affect city programs or services? The City would continue to follow good and appropriate budgeting practices.

Explanation of Request: The mission of the Grants Team is to enhance the achievement of the City's overall goals by providing research, planning, support, feedback and other assistance to departments in the development of alternative funding sources for citywide projects. The Grants Manager prepares an Annual Grants Report each year, summarizing the City's previous year's grant activity. How will this affect city programs or services? The Grants Team provides grant development support services to City departments through the identification and monitoring of federal, state, regional, and local grant opportunities. Team members and department staff seek funding for priorities identified during the budget process. Team members and staff specifically focus on meeting department goals, supporting the Capital Improvement Program (CI P) and responding to citywide emergency needs. The Annual Report serves to document citywide efforts and identify focus areas for the next fiscal year. Fiscal Impact: None Alternatives: Not accept the report.

Each department within the City of Boynton Beach actively pursues grant opportunities to supplement budgetary needs identified during the budget process and meet the strategic priorities of the City. Team members and staff specifically focus on furthering the Strategic Plan, meeting department goals, supporting the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and responding to citywide emergency needs. The Grants Manager provides the following: • Orientation for all new Grants Team members • Grant writing assistance • Grant proposal quality review • Special project funding availability analyses • Grant lifecycle monitoring • Grant management training • Serves as the Organization Administrator for grant management software • Pre -audit preparation • Special assistance to outside organizations as approved by the City Manager An Annual Grants Report is published each year, which summarizes the City's previous year's grant activity and serves to document citywide efforts while identifying priority areas for the next fiscal year. Grant Team members' diligence in using the tools provided by the City is essential to effective communication and record keeping. Accordingly, the Grants Manager solicits comments, suggestions and recommendations regarding grants management tools and annual reporting which are used to increase the overall efficacy of projects. Grants Team Mission Statement: To enhance the achievement of the City's overall goals by providing research, planning, support, feedback and other assistance to its departments in the development of alternative funding sources for citywide projects. Team Structure And Protocol The Grants Team functions as a self-directed unit to conduct research, participate in training, prepare grant applications and manage grant awards. Membership consists of representatives from departments citywide, who also function as the liaison between their department and the team. The Grants Manager facilitates, expedites and communicates on behalf of the team. 2 Page 92 of 341 Liaison (Project Manager) Role on Grants Team • Conduct funding searches for department projects to identify appropriate funding sources • Assist with research, writing, and gathering information for proposal development • Continually update skills through grant training opportunities • Review proposals (upon department request) for quality • Communicate concerns regarding funding needs to the Grants Manager • Use the tools provided by the City for effective and efficient grant management • Follow Administrative Policy #01.02.13 Grants Management Policy & Procedures FY2021/2022 Grants Team Members City Clerk's Office — Crystal Gibson Financial Services — Mara Frederiksen and Corinne Elliot Fire Department — Chief Bruder/ Fire Marshall -Kathy Cline Human Resources — Danielle Goodrich/Andrea Javier ITS — John McNally Library — Craig Clark/Tiffany Pagan Planning - Hanna Matras Police — Officer Jaclyn Smith and Sophia Stewart Public Art — Glenn Weiss Public Works/Forestry & Grounds — Gary Dunmyer/Paola Mendoza Recreation & Parks — Kacey Young/Stephanie Soplop Risk Management — Julie Oldbury Sustainability — Rebecca Harvey Utilities — Chris Roschek Grants Team Coordinator/City Manager's Office — Tess Lacroix Benefits of a Grants Team • Increased communication regarding grant opportunities throughout the city creating consistency in grant management • A more focused approach in applying for funding (using personnel/financial resources more efficiently) • Involving departments who have had little or no history in obtaining grant funding • Flow of information to City Manager and City Commission has increased, therefore increasing awareness of staff efforts and resourcefulness • The City has made new and valuable contacts throughout the state and nation enhancing our grants management operation • We have served as a role model for many other cities and counties Page 93 of 341 Departmental Grant Activity FY 2020/2021 During Fiscal Year 2020-2021, 9 departments submitted 19 grant requests for funding, totaling $18,842,032.28. Grant application review and approval at the state and federal levels can take up to one year from the date the application is submitted. During Fiscal Year 2020-2021, The City of Boynton Beach received and managed 29 grants totaling $9,206,175.06 with a city match of $4,245,566.60. While the City receives some entitlement and formula funding, the majority of grants applied for are competitive. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and State Aid to Libraries are examples of the non-competitive funding the City receives annually. These dollars are critical to continue providing basic services to our residents. The amount of State Aid to Libraries is based on local investment in the public library. Increased investment from the City's General Funds dollars has assisted the Library in receiving additional state funding. In addition to applying for grants, staff actively manage multiple grant -funded projects. This includes reporting to the granting agency, managing project challenges and preparing for the audit. Staff is to be commended for their efforts. How has all this time and money enhanced the quality of life in Boynton Beach? What does this really mean? Community Improvement The Department of Financial Services received funding through the Community Block Grant to assist low and moderate -income families and support organizations that provide services to the community. Through this funding, the Legal Aid Society assisted over 12 individuals with eviction and housing discrimination cases and facilitated several workshops on Tenant Rights, Fair Housing, and Landlord Tenant Repair issues. Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse facilitated domestic violence prevention education to 132 students and provided an intensive 9 -session curriculum to 198 students. 179 participants benefited from homebuyer counseling facilitated by the Boynton Beach Faith -Based Community Development Corporation, and Pathways to Prosperity provided classes to 59 clients to help increase their assets, start businesses, and enroll in vocational and other educational programs. Additionally, the City received funds from the CARES Act to provide emergency assistance and food distribution to households most affected by COVID-19. Through a subgrantee relationship with Feeding South Florida, 3,055,664 pounds of food were distributed to 7,164 households between March 2020 and May 2021. Fire Rescue The Fire Department received COVID-19 supplemental assistance which allowed Firefighters and EMS Personnel to operate safely due to rapid depletion of existing PPE equipment amid the global pandemic. The Department also received funds through an interlocal agreement with Palm Beach County to purchase EMS equipment, well -needed resources to effectively respond to community incidents. Library Services The State Aid Grant to Libraries enabled the City to maintain the daily operations of the library and serve the Boynton Beach community. Additionally, with funds received from the Library Services and Technology Act Grant, The Library Services Department has been able to improve users' ability to use and apply business resources by providing creative digital tools. A new Makers Space studio was created with new creative technology to promote creative 4 Page 94 of 341 entrepreneurship and grassroot small business startups. As a result of this space, over 8,341 people have access to this new technology with a dedicated Digital/Maker Services Librarian to assist with their needs. Over the past fiscal year: • 29 individuals scheduled one-on-one appointments to learn about the tools of the Makers Space Studio • 233 individuals utilized the Grab and Go Craft Kits • 50 individuals participated in the library Maker Services programs. This funding will help build wealth in the community, a strategic priority of the City of Boynton Beach. Police Department • The Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program from the Bureau of Justice Assistance greatly supported the Police Department's activities to prevent, prepare, and respond to the pandemic including equipment purchase, overtime needs, training, supplies, and distribution of resources to the most impacted areas. This funding allowed the officers to provide support during food drives and on COVID-19 vaccination sites. • During last year's manatee season, marine officers ensured the safety and protected the lives of manatees by patrolling the waterways and educating and holding individuals speeding through the wake zones accountable. • The Operation Stonegarden Grant Program provided funds to provide extra patrol on the waterways to assist the US Border Patrol in securing borders. • The VOCA grant allowed our agency to employ a victim advocate who assisted numerous victims throughout the year with various services. 390 victims received services and 223 were provided community referrals based on their individual needs. • With funds received from the Florida Department of Transportation, The Boynton Beach Police Department enforced Occupant Protection Operations and mitigated Speed & Aggressive driving in the community. During the grant period, Officers consistently provided outreach and education via social media and message boards, conducted over 38 high visibility enforcement operations, and issued over 400 seatbelt and speeding citations, effectively reducing crash fatalities by 3% from previous years. • The Police Department utilized the funds awarded by the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program to purchase a community engagement software aimed to connect citizen knowledge to law enforcement and boost community partnership. A new interview room recording project was also approved and installed at the new police headquarters. • The Bulletproof Vest program covered 50% of the cost for new ballistic vests, facilitating the purchase of 30 eligible vests for the Department. Public Works • The City of Boynton Beach applied for and received funds from the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency Local Initiative Program to complete street improvements on Boynton Beach Boulevard between NW 3rd Street and US1/Federal Highway. The project is currently under design with construction scheduled for year 2024. The Palm Beach TPA also awarded the City a Transportation Alternative grant to complete street improvements on SE 1't Street between Woolbright Road and SE 2nd Ave. The project to Page 95 of 341 construct a 1 -mile, IOft shared -used path on the West side of the street will be completed in year 2023 and will enhance pedestrian connectivity and safety. • Public Works is undertaking the critical hardening of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue Station No.2 with funds awarded by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. Over the next four years, The City will replace the 8 existing roll -up doors with hurricane -rated, four -fold doors, replace strapping of the current HVAC equipment to conform to the wind load requirements, clean and protect the generator housing from rust, replace light poles with code -compliant poles and foundations, and replace the existing parking lot lighting to meet the wind load requirements for a fire station. • The Waterways Assistance Program provided funds to the City of Boynton Beach to improve the boat ramps at Oyer Park in order to provide safe access to the Intra -Coastal waterways. The boating community and users of the facility have reported the difficulty with using the four boat ramps due to the current surface conditions. The City has completed all of the design and permitting with the project's rebid currently under review. Recreation and Parks The City of Boynton Beach ranked 1st on the Florida Recreational Trails Program's current funding cycle priority list for the Eco Park Project. Funding received from this program will support the City's project to construct new accessible trails and amenities for future use and enjoyment of the public. Residents and visitors will be able to walk, bike, kayak, with nature enthusiasts enjoying the natural resources of the park.The site is currently undeveloped with 33.2 acres of upland sand pine, 3.8 acres of wetland and a lake of 11.78 acres. The City has hired an artist to work on eco -friendly art to align with the goal of preserving the natural resources of the area. Utilities • The City received funds from the Florida Division of Emergency Management to complete drainage improvements to the Lakeside Gardens neighborhood. The first phase of this project consisted of preliminary engineering, design and calculations, surveying and permitting. The Utilities Dept completed phase I of the project and is preparing for phase 11. • Boynton Beach received funding from the Florida Legislature to replace existing Wastewater Treatment Plant in Oceanfront Park with new energy efficient advanced treatment sewer plant which will also produce reuse water. The team and their engineering consultant have discussed sizing and improvement alternatives with Palm Beach County Health Department to treat the influent flow from Oceanfront Park. The project's completion date is set for June 2022. Sustainability • The Sustainability department received funds to update the Coastal Resilience Partnership Vulnerability Assessment completed in July 2021. The funds awarded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection will be used to make the original assessment compliant for project funding under section 380.093 of the Florida Statutes and will include expanded sea level projections and updates to tidal flooding and surge analyses. • The City of Boynton Beach is undertaking the project of developing an urban forestry program by establishing a clear path to creating an effective management program. Over Page 96 of 341 /, Y,20201202 / AnIG�, d' o bti"aport the next three years, the City will hire an urban forestry firm to inventory trees owned and managed by the City, collect the data provided to evaluate their location, species and need for maintenance, and enhance tree canopy to augment greenspace in low-income neighborhoods and communities of color who often have lower tree canopy to achieve community equity and environmental sustainability. Grants Team Activity The Grants Team uses electronic means to manage grant funded projects, in doing so, we effectively maintain decentralized operations while enjoying the benefits of a centralized grants management system. Generally, departments will identify needs and research appropriate grants during the City budget process. On occasion, emergency funding will become available (i.e. hurricane, global pandemic, or other disaster funding); when this occurs the Grants Manager will work with departments to identify appropriate projects and coordinate efforts to develop a competitive grant application. Grant funding forecasting is integral to the budget preparation process; a summary report was prepared for the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget review team. The summary included the project title, funding source, required City match and any associated long-term operations & maintenance expenses. During Fiscal Year 2021-2022, The City anticipates to submit 18 grant applications with awards totaling $6,485,403.37 with a total City match of $397,769.50. The City has also identified potential funding from the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In addition to the proposed cash match, in-kind staff support from the General Fund totals $14,693. Summary and Future Direction In Fiscal Year 2020-2021, the Grants Team utilized the City's ongoing annual Strategic Plan to conduct funding analysis to support identified goals and priorities. The team worked arduously to secure funding to build wealth in the community, improve mobility and transportation for all, protect and promote a healthy, safe, and secure environment, maintain excellence, and support Environmental Sustainability. In Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the Grants Team will continue to research funding opportunities to further the City's strategic initiatives to build wealth in the Community, create a culturally distinct downtown, improve transportation and mobility, maintain a high performing organization, ensure health and safety, and support environmental sustainability. These initiatives for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 will focus and align work efforts, decisions and budget. We are fortunate to have a Grants Team in Boynton Beach who consistently researches grant opportunities, possesses the knowledge and experience to prepare competitive grant applications and is consistently provided the tools and support necessary to effectively and efficiently manage multiple grant awards.

Explanation of Request: On September 14, 2021, the City of Boynton Beach executed an agreement with Florida International University (FI U) to develop an Economic Development Plan for the City of Boynton Beach (Attachment 1). A component of the Plan provides specific economic development information within the CRA area, including a CRA Business Survey and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (Attachment 11). The City requested, and the CRA Board approved, assistance in funding a portion of the $75,000 Economic Development Plan fee. The CRA's contribution is not to exceed $25,000. The attached I nterlocal Agreement (I LA) sets forth the obligation for the parties, including review and reimbursement procedures. How will this affect city programs or services? The purpose of the Economic Development Plan is to create a plan of action based on current and projected economic, industry, and real estate trends; align policy and investments to maximize City assets; and evaluate our assets and chart a course towards a sustainable and equitable economy that will grow jobs and careers, advance opportunities for prosperity, and create vibrant neighborhoods and communities. Focus areas include the COVID-19 pandemic, placemaking as an economic development tool, and creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem. An additional task is the creation of a retail market analysis and recruitment plan. Fiscal Impact: Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) - $25,000.00 Alternatives: Strategic Plan: Building Wealth in the Community Strategic Plan Application: This project supports the City's vision of a strong local economy that grows jobs and business and advances opportunities for entrepreneurship and equity.

Perez, Metropolitan Center Draft Scope of Work Boynton Beach CRA Economic Development Planning The Boynton Beach CRA is an important and integral part of the City of Boynton Beach Economic Development Plan. The 2016 CRA Plan notes that in spite of significant past achievements, "the vision of a vibrant downtown with revitalized corridors has yet to be realized." The Plan further states "target strategies must address the limited supply of developable land, relatively high land costs, pedestrian unfriendly corridors, potentially incompatible land uses, the lack of available quality space for retail and office uses necessary to support the establishment of a vibrant downtown and insufficient densities to support mass transit." L Boynton Beachto the City Economic The City's Economic Development Plan provides an opportunity to address specific target strategies outlined in the 2016 CRA Plan and specific district plans in the context of the current economic and real estate development environment. In addition to the proposed economic analysis, the Economic Development Plan could be expanded to drilldown to the CRA district level to design an entrepreneurial ecosystem, with programs and services focused on new and existing entrepreneurial endeavors and landscapes citywide. This would be most beneficial for the Downtown, Heart of Boynton, Cultural, and Federal Highway Districts. Coordinating the City's Economic Development Plan with the Boynton Beach CRA target strategies would be a two-step process: 1) A CRA Business Survey that would provide the business involvement and groundwork for strat3gic planning and programing and 2) strategies to build a CRA entrepreneurial ecosystem. The CRA Business Survey would provide the foundation for designing and implementing programs and strategies in support of entrepreneurial ecosystem. It is highly recommended that communities conduct a business survey in the post-COVID economy to determine the impacts, current issues, and needs of local businesses including capital, anticipated growth and expansion, workforce skills, and technical assistance. Potential specific strategies include, but are not limited to: a. Entrepreneurial programs and strategies, including: 1) Cottage industries; 2) Organically growing business sectors and/or commercial nodes; 3) Business basics and support for local arts/creative businesses; and 4) Growing and increasing revenues for local sole proprietor run businesses b. Cultural, educational, social, and recreational assets (and facilities) that align with target business sectors and strategies to share facilities and provide value added services and networks. c) Identification of smaller commercial nodes and a comprehensive approach to targeted programming, business assistance and collaborative marketing programs (this would work in tandem with the Economic Development Plan's placemaking strategies). Page 124 of 341 d) Individualized small business development and entrepreneurship service delivery model(s) targeted to specific sectors and operations models like digital, bricks and mortar or service delivery. e) Create opportunities to attract entrepreneurial -minded people to Boynton Beach and create spaces to match interests, ideas, and sharing of services between existing and new residents, including: 1) Places, spaces and programs to encourage "digital" nomads to locate in the CRA, many of which provide freelance services; 2) Develop events and activities to encourage interaction between existing and new residents and businesses and programming to introduce "off the beaten" path businesses to future customers; and 3) Create shared communities including digital or planned events to encourage collaboration among businesses and entrepreneurs to share ideas and mutual help.

Commissioner Romelus commented that although this is a somber time for the City, she would like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year 2022. Commissioner Penserga had no disclosures. Vice Mayor Hay disclosed that he did meet with Centennial regarding the job fair that he attended. He also attended the Fernando Jones Blues Kids Camp performance that was held at the Children's Museum. Mayor Grant disclosed that on December 26th he made comments at the Stanley Davis's, Jr. (SJ) dirt bike incident that he would like to clarify for the record. First and foremost, his heart goes out to the family and friends of Stanley Davis, Jr. and everyone involved; second, he apologizes to the City Community and the Police for his incomplete statement as the media and press took his words out of context, creating an untrue statement. The City and Police are responsible for a thorough and a diligent investigation. There needs to be transparency and accountability. Our community must put safety and education first. He apologized for any negativity that came from his statements. He looks forward to working with everyone for a better Boynton Beach. Commissioner Romelus expressed her condolences to the Davis Family. As a mother of two young boys, she cannot imagine what the family is going through. Her thoughts and prayers are with the family. When we are grieving, thoughts and prayers sounds so empty. From one mother to another mother and the parents, she sends her sympathy, condolences, and a warm embrace to the family. Commissioner Penserga stated that he wanted to speak on the topic and he has put something together to make sure he expresses how this has impacted all of us. Stanley Davis, Jr. (SJ), is a son of this City, the Son of Boynton. He is one of our own. SJ has a Page 136 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 family who loves him, friends and teammates who believe in him, that entire community, that is standing with him. He was taken away from us, and as a community, we stand here today not only to grieve a loss but also to let the world know who SJ was. Also, to say that we will not let his death be in vain. They say that there is no greater pain when a parent loses a child. He saw that firsthand at the vigil, his mother crying, heartbroken by the loss of her son. It was unbearable, and the sorrow, the frustration, the anger, was felt and shared by everyone. He expressed to Ms. Thompson that although there is nothing he can say to her to take away her pain, to bring SJ back, he wants her to know that his prayers are with her and her family. He took her words to heart that night. She said she did not want anything, but for the community to stand by her. He said he is standing by her. With prayer, family, and the truth, our community can begin to heal. He addressed the audience and said like many of them, he has so many unanswered questions. That is why we are going to see this investigation through so we know exactly what happened and prevent this from ever happening again. That is how we bring justice for SJ. This investigation must be swift, decisive, thorough, and impartial, and we will accept the conclusions wherever the facts may fall. Nothing will be swept under the rug. That is his commitment to Ms. Thompson and to the community, and we will letjustice run its course. He said he prays for SJ and his family, that healing comes to all of us, born out of the truth of justice of transparency and accountability and through the outpouring of love of so many of you that we can see here today by the entire community. He once again extended condolences to Ms. Thompson and her family. Vice Mayor Hay commented that he echoes everything that Commissioner Penserga said, his heart bleeds. His heart goes out to the parents of SJ. He extended his prayers and condolences to SJ's father Mr. Stanley Davis, Jr., SJ's mother Ms. Shannon Thompson, his grandmother Ms. Tina Hunter, and SJ's Godmother Ms. Mary Barbra Nelson. He also lost his only son at an early age. Our community is grieving and upset that a 13 -year-old life was lost, a 13 -year-old who had so much potential. Commissioner Penserga stated that we will get to the bottom of this. We all want answers about what led up to this crash. He encouraged everyone to let the investigation run its course. This is an open investigation; Florida Highway Patrol Agency will find the facts. He wants peace in our City between the community and the Police Department. We do want justice, accountability, and transparency. We are going to follow the facts and not get ahead of ourselves. Let us continue to work together. God bless you, and his prayers are with you. Shannon Thompson, 425 SE First Street, Pompano Beach, clarified that her son's name is Stanley Dale Davis, III, not junior. We are here for justice for all. We would like some accountability, some transparency, and we would like a thorough investigation. This disconnect between the community and the police force has been going on for far too long. We would like to unite as one. There is no reason why our children should fear law enforcement or even particular law officers. She wants to be assured that the policy law enforcement has in place is being obeyed. There have been other incidents before this, where it seems as if law officials have policies and procedures and regulations in place for a reason. If law officials are not going to abide by, how can we ask that the citizens abide by them? Things have been ignored that need to be brought to justice. Her son will 3 Page 137 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 bring forth alot of things that have been swept under the rug for far too long and dismissed. Probably some police officers feel that they have been getting away with it for too long because they have not had to answer some of their unjust actions and behaviors. This is going to bring light and shed light on some of the malpractices that have been displayed within the community. Tina Hunter commented that when that cop saw SJ getting his gas he knew that was a child right there and then. Why did the cop not question SJ right there? All of this could have been avoided. She feels that the cop did exactly what he wanted to do, chase him to his death. Harassment from the City did not start with SJ's death, it started years ago. She stated when redneck people on my corner were busted for drugs, the police came into the community and starting blaming the neighbors. As a kid, SJ could not go outside and play because the cops ride up and down trying to chase them back into the house. The harassment is still going on today even though those white people left the neighborhood. Her family has been harassed for 34 years. Lucile Brown, 112 NE 16th Avenue, stated that she is SJ's auntie. Where is the justice for SJ? The officer is protected by Marcy's law, yet SJ's name is posted all over the news. She does not believe that the investigation is going to be thorough. Her nephew is lying in his grave. She said it has not hit home for you because you do not deal with the daily harassment of the Boynton Beach Police Officers. Bishop Bernard Wright, CEO of Bernard Wright Ministries, Real Talk Radio with Minister Bernard Wright and the Robert E. Wells Foundation. We should not be here and this should have never happened. Mark Sohn should have been off the force a long time ago. Procedures need to be changed. We are talking about equity. We are talking about systemic racism. Let us call it what it is. We are talking about now giving Latasha Clemons an orchard and we should have given a name on the fire department. Why did it take Georgia to make her Chief, when she should have been Chief here in Boynton? We are looking over everything but what is here and that is racism in this City. We need effective leadership. He said his heart goes out to the family, we are grieving but it should stop now. Yes, swiftly we shall see transparency, justice, and total, absolute accountability individually, respectively, from him to the department, to the City. We need to revamp this whole dais. What we see is a show of community support and love as we have never seen it before. Unfortunately, we see what it is called real revival, the Spirit of God moving inside of Boynton Beach. It is time now to change your state of mind about people. Love one another as He loved us to the point of death. We are here today to show our collective force, to see change for the better, for the people in Boynton Beach. To God be the glory and God bless. Ernest Mignoli, 710 NE 7th Street Unit 407, stated that he has spent at least ten hours a day with public records and contacting the Boynton Beach Police, the Inspector General, trying to the reach the Florida Highway Patrol, the City Manager, the City Attorney, and City Commissioners. Not one person on the dais is willing to respond to him. Not one person including the Public Information Officer for the Boynton Police. The Public 4 Page 138 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 Information Officer is not allowed to pick what press they are going to talk to. In his opinion, Florida Highway Patrol should not be on this case. This case belongs in a federal investigation. Pastor Rae Whitely, 223 NE 12th Avenue, stated that the Boynton Beach Coalition stands in solidarity with the Davis family and their pursuit for justice for Stanley Davis, III. Pastor Whitley read a letter from the NAACP into the record. Happy New Year and greetings from the South Palm Beach County chapter of the NAACP. This time of year is always filled with the hope that we look forward to the promise of a prosperous new year. In that vein, we join the City of Boynton Beach and share the excitement of what the new year offers, in terms of working towards a more unified and tolerant Boynton Beach. However, we cannot enjoy the fruit of what is to come in 2022 until we have unplanted the seeds of sorrow that were sowed in 2021. Unfortunately, one such seed of sorrow was planted on December 26, 2021, when the life of a young Stanley Davis, III, a Boynton Beach son, tragically ended after being followed by an on -duty Boynton Beach Police officer doing an alleged traffic stop. While we are mindful of policies and procedures in place that the City has to follow as it investigates the event of December 26 and the officer's involvement, we as a community and organization simply ask that the City of Boynton Beach conduct a thorough and transparent investigation. All too often, these investigations are merely a rubber stamp by officials seeking merely to meet the most minimal standards. We are asking the City of Boynton Beach to rise above the bureaucratic red tape and do what is just, equitable, and right. There are some organizations whose interests are not aligned with transparency and accountability. These organizations seem to seek to use their political and financial influence to pervert truth and distort this narrative. To counter these influences, the South Palm Beach County Chapter of the NAACP has joined with the Boynton Beach Coalition of Clergy based in Florida, the Palm Beach County Black Caucus, and Unify the Palm Beaches and collectively raise our voice as a supporter of truth and justice, and seek to work with City staff and officials to prevent any actions that may hinder transparency. By reviewing police union contracts with the city and weighing them against city personnel rules and policy along with state statutes. To find ways to prevent the union contract from blocking the accountability process. Reviewing the City Police Department's policies and procedures and practices to make recommendations will lead to improved relations between the police department and the black community. We want to ensure this is not influenced by any entity at all. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to forging a meaningful working relationship with the City of Boynton Beach and we seek to maintain peace and unity. Shamar Davis stated that it is utterly disgusting how Mark does not want his name mentioned. We will forever know the actions he took on December 26th, we will dwell on them for years to come. Ms. Davis said she did not want to discuss the negative stuff. She preferred to discuss her cousin's life. She recalled Stanley, known as SJ, as a very happy child who had a contagious laugh that made you laugh even at his bad jokes. SJ was his own person. He listened to music that nobody else knew. SJ was just starting to develop his own personality and beginning to notice girls. SJ was a very funny and 5 Page 139 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 loving guy. He did not deserve this, he had a higher and greater purpose in life. It is unfortunate that we have to recognize it this way. Corye Readon, 631 Evergreen Drive, Lake Park, stated that he is the father of Jaden Readon who was lost in an accident on Miner Road in February of 2016. This is very upsetting to hear that the same officer is involved. We the people have questions and we need answers. This is the third incident with the same police officer. This needs to stop. Reverend Javan Davis, Pastor of St. John Missionary Baptist Church, stated that he represents the P.E.A.C.E. Organization of Palm Beach County that consists of 20 churches to ensure social justice needs are met. There must be a thorough investigation in regards to this tragedy. This is a tragedy that should have never happened. This young man should still be here. We want to be certain that another SJ does not lose his or her life because of senseless behavior. He does not want to see another child rolled into St. John Missionary Baptist Church because of the relationship between police and the community. As an organization, we have been adamant about making certain that this relationship is one in which the community and the police can trust one another. The slogan is that police are here to protect and serve, not protect and control. It would be a beautiful thing if we can all just work together if we can get along with one another. We can be certain that the policies and procedures that are in place are followed by everyone, not just for us in the community but even those who are called on to enforce the policies and procedures. He is asking the Commission to join this community, as we cry out for your help as we cry out for you to stand alongside us, in our efforts, to make sure justice rolls down like a mighty stream. Wesley Shuler, 606 W. Atlantic, stated that the Boynton Beach Police are out of control. Mr. Shuler said he dealt with them when he was 20 years old. He knows that the Chief just came on board, but he needs to clean house. He does not believe the investigation will be thorough. He claimed that this does not happen in Delray. When the Miller boy was killed, the Chief got rid of the police officer involved. Mercedes Morris, 112 NE 16th Avenue, stated that she was the second cousin of Stanley Davis, III. She finds it disgusting that the City is asking the family to pay for the event they are going to have at the Ezell Hester Center. We are grieving; the entire city is grieving. We should not have to pay for anything. Priority Towing gave her cousin a hard time to retrieve the dirt bike from them. They had to pay $500 to get his dirt bike. Mayor Grant stated that he is in favor of the City using Community Support Funds or Community Enrichment Funds to help alleviate any cost to the family. David Ramming, West Palm Beach, said he is a community organizer here to show solidarity and support to not only the City of Boynton Beach and our community but the family. Tonight, we have heard from parents who have lost children. This is a severe 1.1 Page 140 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 situation. You have a community that is reaching out and asking for swift diligent justice. Our babies are being murdered. The way that this occurred was just a blatant misuse of power. A blind man could see that pursuit was not warranted. Your policy states that pursuit is only justified if you think that he has committed a violent act. He is a 13 -year- old boy. What did he do? We need to see swift justice. I appreciate you saying you are going to cover costs. That is a stand-up action. The next stand-up action is this dude is off the streets and prosecuted to the full extent of the law because if he did that, he would be in jail. We have an opportunity to build a bridge and make amends. You have seen a unique community here that is speaking out in unity. We have to show them that this works, because when this does not work, we go out there, and out there, none of us want to see what happens when we are angry. I know that you are concerned with your city. A 13 -year-old black boy is a young black man in America. We matter. There is only so much we can take. Young brothers and sisters need to know that this process works. People here are enraged. Hear what they are saying, focus on his family and friends. This is a waste of talent. This is a waste of energy. This is a waste of life. Do not let this be in vain. He is asking you all to care because if you do not, we are going make you care, and that is not a threat; it is a promise. Robert Pasch, 13819 Wellington, stated that he has been an attorney in Palm Beach County for almost 23 years. He is friend of Stanley, Jr. and their sons were friends. SJ was a good boy. How do we make sure this never happens again? He thinks the only way to answer this question is for the Commission to find out what is the true philosophy, in policing for the Boynton Beach Police Department employees. Do they subscribe to the philosophy of traditional policing, where it is an us versus them mentality, a war against your community? Or is it what we strive for community policing, where they believe that they are a part of the community, and want to make the community better? They love their neighbors. He has met with many Boynton police officers over the years, and some of them are fine. Some of them do wonderful work, but we know that not all of them do. The philosophy can never be us versus them, it cannot be a war. It should never feel that way. He said based on what he knows about what happened on December 26th, that officer was not community policing. If the officer believes that Stanley, Jr. had done something wrong, he could have gotten that license plate off the back of that bike at that gas station. The Officer could have gone to his parents. That is what community policing is. It is reaching out to your community and speaking to them, making sure that if they believe something wrong has occurred, it does not happen again. But that is not what the officer did. He was not community policing. He created a dangerous and unnecessary situation that resulted in the death of a boy. He truly does not know the policing philosophy in Boynton Beach. He would like to believe it is a community, but he did not see that on December 26th. He said he prays the City Council, and now Boynton Beach Police Chief adopts a zero -tolerance towards the type of policing that occurred on December 26th. He prays that every Officer in Boynton Beach truly and honestly with an open heart embraces real community policing, otherwise, our community will never be in peace. Liliana Patrone, stated she received a telephone call from her friend on December 26th telling her that her best friend past away. SJ just wanted to ride his bike and hang out N Page 141 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 with his friends. He was over protective of his friends and family. She spoke to him that morning and he was so excited that he got a dirt bike. He got to ride that bike twice. He did not do anything wrong. If Stanley was white it would have been a different story. The police would have stopped him at the gas station or possibly say nothing. That cop has killed three people, two of them children. The Commission has to use the power they have to make a difference. If not, more people are going to die. Vice Graham, 2nd Vice President for National Action Network under the leadership of Reverend Al Sharpton, 4330 Community Drive, stated we have come here tonight about making this a race war. This is not a race war; it is an accountability war. When you let your officers violate policy more than once, you will hear from our community. The day after Christmas, Stanley Davis, a 13 -year-old child did not deserve to be pursued and killed the way he was. Put yourself in his mother's shoes and if that was your child that was pursued the way Stanley Davis was, a 13 -year-old child, how would you feel? Tonight, you hear a community that is outraged about how you treat our people. Tonight, we have come to tell you in the City of Boynton Beach that enough is enough. Check the records on how many times he has violated people, he is sure it is more than three. We need a plan of action. If the City of Boynton Beach does not have a Citizen Review Board, get one. Allow the citizens to review what is going on in this City. We will not back down until we get justice, accountability, and transparency in this City. The searchlight is on. Prenal Davis, 832 NW 8t" Avenue, commented that SJ is his nephew. The Davis family was happy about what the Mayor said on the day of the incident. Yet to come here tonight and hear you back track, now we are not sure where you stand. This is the same stuff that we deal with as a nation. People say the right thing long enough to get our vote, to get our power then it is back to the same thing. He was at the scene of the pursuit that resulted in his nephew's death. Tory Orr, 106 Ocean Breeze, stated that Boynton Beach is hiring bullies, the bullies that have been here over 17 years. Why is the police officer not fired yet? He will be prosecuted. We need justice and we want accountability now. Kela Franklin stated that she is a teacher with the Palm Beach County School District. With this situation, she does not want to go back to work. We tell our students to abide by the law, but a situation like this makes them not want to listen. If he was to stop, he probably still would have been killed. Make this man pay for what he did. He had no business chasing SJ. Jay Morris stated that she was there tonight about dash -cams and that there was none in that particular vehicle. She does not understand why that is okay. If it was an officer that was killed, there would have been a dash -cam. She does not like the way SJ is being criminalized. He is 13 years old. The biggest crime he committed that day was not being knowledgeable about his bike being on the road. He is not a criminal. The criminals are the police, they are doing whatever they want to do. They are supposed to protect and serve us. They are not protecting us, they are protecting each other. It makes no sense 9:3 Page 142 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 to her to add more police to the case. Police are going to protect other police. This can not happen again. If it does happen again, you will see even more outrage. Charday Hunter, 12400 NW 15th Street, Sunrise, stated that she will have to live with trauma from seeing her nephew laying on the ground like his life did not matter. She cannot get that image out of her head. She is a psychotherapy nurse and she will need therapy. Bishop Kenneth B Jones, 135 NE 7th Avenue, stated that his heart breaks to know that this not the first or the third infraction of this officer. The problem is not with the police department, it is with the Commission. To know that he has had these infractions and to give him a pass, it is not the police it is the Commission. You have the power and the authority to not let this happen again. We are calling for accountability. You hear the cry of the community. Let us not sweep this under the rug. He said he has family in law enforcement so he is not against officers. He is against officers holding them accountable. When you make a mistake, you have to pay the piper. As Commissioners, you have to do something about it. Not just this one, you need to do something about all of them. Tiffany Frederick, 510 NW 9th Avenue, stated she is here to stand with the Davis family. SJ was at her home the last two hours of his life before he was run down like a dog. This is not the first the dash -cams have not been working. A few years ago, her son was pulled over with guns drawn by three or four Boynton Beach Police Officers. She told the Chief she wanted to see the video. After a year, the Chief apologized and said there was no dash -cam in the vehicle. She said if she had a lawyer, she probably would own the City of Boynton Beach; she would be the City Manager right now, but she did not and that is the problem with a lot of us black people - we do not have money to get lawyers the way white people do. She said we need justice for SJ today. Yolanda Bird Davis, 832 NW 8 Avenue, stated that she is Stanley's aunt. In a post it stated that he was observed breaking the law. SJ was raised with standards, he was raised right. What you saw on the video was a child in fear of his life. SJ's friends call the officer "dog man". Her nephew has told her that when he sees dog man he gets off his bike because he chases them constantly. He is an antagonist in the community. He ran him down. This is a son that has been honored in this community for years for showing leadership in the classroom. He has scholarships in his name. He was not your ordinary child. How he is being portrayed in the media is absurd. By the same community that has praised him for years. For you to try and demonize him on the behalf of an officer who has had coined the term rogue officer in the community. Katherine Edwards, 1098 Seagrape Road, Lantana, commented that she grew up on Cherry Hill and she saw this injustice go on. The Davis family grew up in the Cherry Hill area. They were like a close-knit family. It is amazing to her that this can be going on for so long. The same incident happened to her son. The night her son was in the accident off of Miner Road it was raining and he hit a tree. The first person on the scene was a police officer. How can that be? He was there within seconds. The man across the street Page 143 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 came, looked out his door and saw that the police were there. How is it that he hit a tree and the police are right there? She has asked so many questions and she still has so many unanswered questions. She said she just prays that you see what is going on and do something to make this change. Quin Jenkin, 681 SW 12th Court, recalled good times watching SJ growing up. SJ was a great kid and obviously too great for this world. She stated that SJ was scared for his life and was trying to get back to his dad that day. She knows one thing for certain that police officers of the black community terrorize the black often. We as a black community are tired, we are angry and she cannot believe in the 21 st Century fighting for justice. Keyla Palmer, 509 NE 2nd Street, stated that she has been a Boynton resident for 45 years. Every year between December 25th and January 3rd, these kids ride these bikes. The police are well aware of this. She does not believe that SJ intentionally started the chase, he was more scared than anything. We teach our kids if they are threatened by the police, get home. Get to where someone can see them and watch what is going on. The officer did what he wanted to do. Now he is sitting home drinking beer. It is not fair. Travis Harvey, 4802 Southern Place, Lake Worth, stated that all police officers who have done wrong should be brought to justice. He stated that the community should be investing within the community and community businesses. The community should give businesses an ultimatum of hiring from within the community or no one will shop there. Then invest the money back into a political organization so instead of asking for justice, we can demand it. Stanley Davis, Jr., 832 NW 8 Ave, stated that he is Stanley's father. His son was awesome, he was never in trouble. Mr. Davis commented that he is not against the police. He does not have anger or hatred towards the police. At this moment there is a lot of hurt inside him. His son is a well-mannered kid. What tears him apart is his son's final moments. He was alone, he was afraid. He knows that his son was trying to get to him so he could protect him and that is eating him up as a father that he was not there to protect him. He has to live with that. He asked the Commission to do what was right. He is okay with rejection, he understands that everything he wants will not go his way. That is life. He asked the Commission to step outside of their roles in the Community and be him for that moment where he was holding his son's lifeless body. He is asking for the right thing to be done, not only for his son but for the Community. If he was that individual, he would be held accountable and he is okay with that. For every mistake he has made, the community has held him accountable. Pastor Tony Drayton, Faith in Florida, 1500 6th Street, West Palm Beach, stated that his prayers are with the family and the community. We stand in solidarity with those seeking total transparency, accountability, and justice. No person this young should be unjustly criminalized by the press. As strong as the blue code may be, there is a higher code in God's name. 10 Page 144 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 Faith in Florida connects with those who are seeking justice in this matter. Again, our prayers are with the community and the family. Ms. Webster, 205 NE 13th Avenue, stated that she is heartbroken and angry. The same officer did the same thing to her son. She has four sons who have been riding dirt bikes since they could walk. They ride in the community. Officer Sohn chased her son on his dirt bike. Officer Sohn ran his vehicle into the dirt bike. Officer Sohn got out of his car and told her son to stop running before he shoots him. Why did the officer feel that he needed to shoot him? Tyler Glock stated that he is not a resident of Boynton Beach. He is a rider, he rides dirt bikes. He is 36 years old and he has never had to ride his bike in fear that he was going to be killed. Nobody ever turns around to follow him. He never gets chased. Everybody leaves me alone. It is a Honda, too. Just like that was. What do you think the difference is? Dione Brickson, 510 NW 9 Avenue, commented that SJ was anxious to ride his bike the day after Christmas. He was surprised to see SJ at that gas station. SJ told him he saw an officer and thinks he might chase him. Had he known it was this particular officer, he would have told SJ not to run or he would ride the bike for him. Gina Pierre stated that she is sorry that our young man in our community lost his life, however, there has to be accountability. If this officer is targeting black youths in our community, then justice needs to be served. She said all of you are accountable for what happened. It did not have to happen this way. The officer could have used a different tactic. If you are not from this community, you do not know that these kids ride these bikes with no tags on the street. There should be a place for these kids to ride these bikes since you know this is what they do. Please do something. Our community is hurting. Lakesha Vargas stated that she is the mom of one of SJ's friends. She prays that the officer is held accountable for his actions. Her son and SJ have been friends since they were five. It is sad that these kids are hurting. Her son is going to miss his friend. Ricky Bethal stated that a chase is only acceptable when a forceable felony has taken place. It is disturbing that this is a veteran officer who decided to chase someone on a motorcycle. He has faith in the community and that the right decision will be made. Brandy Ann stated that it is wrong that this officer has killed two people prior to this. It is odd that there is not video from that vehicle. Mayor Grant noted that comments were received and will become part of the record. Shamar Davis stated she had met the Mayor during the 2020 election and he said he would do the best he can do for the community. She asked the Mayor to tell her again that he is going to do the best that he can. Page 145 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 Mayor Grant replied that he was there on Sunday and on Monday. As long he is the Mayor, he will do the best that he can to make sure there is justice for SJ. Lakesha Ramming stated that being born and raised in Boynton, she loves her City. The police are here to protect and serve and as residents, we should feel that. We wantjustice for SJ. Commissioner Katz thanked everyone who was there tonight to share their experience and their feelings. The mission is to ensure that a proper investigation gets to the root of what happened. Justice will be served based on those findings. Mark Johnson, 426 NW 12th Avenue, stated his son played football with SJ. SJ is a great kid. His character is not in question. We need to know the truth about what happened. The most important thing is that we get the truth about what happened. If the officer did not do anything wrong, then he has nothing to hide. It is strange that in 2022 that we have a police vehicle that is not equipped with a dash -cam. It is impossible, that on one of the busiest streets in Palm Beach County, that nothing was captured on camera. Mr. Johnson asked for a clear timeline for the investigation. Mayor Grant stated that everything is under investigation and there has been no updates. We know that there are cameras involved. He agreed that there should be updates on the investigation. Annette Gilbert stated that until the heart is touched, the eyes will never be opened. Until the heart is changed, there will be no change. Commissioner Romelus moved to approve a five-minute recess. Commissioner Penserga seconded the motion. Mayor Grant recessed the meeting at 7:51 p.m. Mayor Grant reconvened the meeting at 8:10 p.m. 3.

Approve Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) for use of the City's American Rescue PlanAct (ARPA) funds for Non -Profit & For - Profit Subrecipient Grant Application, Small Business Grant Program, Small Business Technical Assistance Program and Boynton Beach Elementary School Program Partnership Initiative. Recommendations to be presented by Carisse LeJeune, ARPA Project Manager and John Durgan, Economic Development Manager for the City of Boynton Beach. Mayor Grant stated he wants a bike share program within the City. Dirt bikes and ATVs are being used in the City as micro -mobility. He would like the option to use other forms of legal transportation. We currently do not have an off-highway vehicles location in the City, however, if the City can partner with a nonprofit to transport residents to a location that allows off-highway vehicle capabilities would be beneficial to the community. He would like funding to go towards extra -curricular activities. Carisse LeJeune, ARPA Project Manager and John Durgan, Economic Development Manager gave a brief presentation on recommendations and the timeline of the application process. Mayor Grant asked that Mr. Durgan explain the Small Business Technical Assistance program. John Durgan, Economic Development Manager, explained that the Small Business Technical Assistance program is a partnership with FAU Tech Runway. The partnership will be a direct funding request to support local entrepreneurs, small businesses, and employees. The total asset of the program is going to be $60 thousand. The funding will go directly towards scholarships for 100 individuals to participate in two FAU Tech Runway training programs. The total cost to participate in both programs is $600 per person. We also request that the Commission approves a partnership with three of our local elementary schools. We asked each school to send us a Project Charter for their projects that are eligible for ARPA funding under the ARPA guidelines. Freedom Shores, Forest Park, and Citrus Cove Elementary schools responded. Freedom Shores submitted for a STEM Club. Forest park submitted for an enrichment program Citrus Cove submitted for a STEAM classroom. So, the total, the total amount we are requesting for these three projects is going to be $43,500. The breakdown of the costs and a detailed description of each project can be found in your backup. City Manager LaVerriere inquired if Poinciana Elementary School turned in a funding request for a drumline. She asked the Commission if they are willing to support adding Poinciana to the school partnership. 21 Page 155 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 Mayor Grant inquired if the School District also received ARPA Funds. City Manager LaVerriere stated she needs to rely on the conversations the Commission has had with the District. Mayor Grant commented that they understand that there is a finite aspect of funding. We want to try to find a way to maximize the City's funding with a partnership with the School District. He also inquired if the funding could be used to expand the outdoor learning areas at different public schools. Ms. Lejeune replied that if you can logically connect the dots that it is tied to mitigating the negative impacts of Covid, then yes, that educational opportunity would be eligible. City Manager LaVerriere asked if Freedom Shores is a Title One school. Mayor Grant stated with the exception of Citrus Cove, all of the elementary schools in the City are Title One. He commented that he would like to see an explanation line added to the Business Tax Receipt Exemption section of the application. Mayor Grant read a comment from Natalie Cromwell into the record. Citrus Cove Elementary would be very grateful for this funding to help students experience hands-on real-world experiences in a student classroom. Motion Commissioner Katz moved to approve notice of funding opportunities for use of the ARPA funds. Commissioner Penserga seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Mignoli stated that he attends most of the City meetings. What he finds interesting is that the Commission is very concerned with all the entrepreneurs in Boynton Beach. We have a City Manager that makes a quarter of a million dollars a year. I'm sorry to say that. City Manager LaVerriere stated it's public. Mr. Mignoli replied he knows that he was at the meeting. He cannot believe the Commission approved that. City Manager LaVerriere commented she earned every penny. Thank you. Mr. Mignoli stated he would do that job for nothing for the City and he is sure he will do a good job. There are so many disadvantaged families and problems with housing. All you talk about is entrepreneurs and these bars and these clubs. Who cares? Why not care about the average people? That is where the money should go. He said you are a civil capitalist out of control. You think everything is about money. All you do is give money to all the bars and clubs around town thinking that is a way to help. 22 Page 156 of 341 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 4, 2022 Mayor Grant stated a question was received asking if this Commission will be spending or allocating all of the ARPA funds. City Manager LaVerriere commented that is up to the Commission. Depending on the responses we get to the applications and the level of funding will be up to the Commission. Commissioner Katz inquired if the entrepreneurs are human beings that reside within the City of Boynton Beach seeking to start businesses. Mr. Durgan replied yes sir. Mayor Grant received a question from Monica Clicklee how do you access the application or funds for nonprofit only. Mr. Durgan stated that the application will be posted on the City's ARPA webpage that is Boynton-beach.org/ABPA. B.

Applicant: Steven W. Siebert, Steve Siebert Architecture, Inc. Proposed Ordinance No. 22-002 - Second Reading - Approving 3518 Ruskin Avenue request for Future Land Use Map Amendment from Palm Beach County's Medium Residential Classification with a maximum density of 5.0 dwelling units per acre (MR -5) to Office Commercial (OC). Applicant: Steven W. Siebert, Steve Siebert Architecture, Inc. Proposed Ordinance No. 22-003 - Second Reading - Approving 3518 Ruskin Avenue request for Rezoning from Palm Beach County's Single -Family Residential (RS) District to Office Professional (C- 1). Applicant: Steven W. Siebert, Steve Siebert Architecture, Inc. Explanation of Request: The existing site is a vacant parcel located in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The site currently has a Palm Beach County future land use designation of MR -5 and is zoned Palm Beach County RS, which permits up to 5 dwelling units per acre and no commercial uses. The applicant has submitted an application to voluntarily annex the property into the City and change the future land use and zoning to OC and C-1, respectively, which would permit office -type uses at the site. The applicant intends to subsequently submit a site plan application to construct two offices on the site, with one office bay planned for the applicant's architectural design business. Preliminary review of the proposed annexation by staff indicates that it meets the statutory conditions: the parcel is contiguous to the City boundary and "reasonably compact" in that it does not create enclaves or pockets. Voluntary annexations are regulated by Chapter 171.044, Florida Statutes; additional directions regarding the process are contained in the Palm Beach County Ordinance 2007-018. Pursuant to these requirements, on September 10, 2021 staff sent a notification of the proposed annexation to the Palm Beach County Administrator and Planning Director. County staff reviewed the application and have not identified any inconsistencies with Chapter 171, or conveyed any opposition to the annexation (Exhibit "F".). The Planning & Development Board recommended approval of this item at their November 23, 2021 meeting. How will this affect city programs or services?

BACKGROUND The existing site is a vacant parcel located in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The site is currently has a Palm Beach County future land use designation of MR -5 and is zoned Palm Beach County RS, which permits up to 5 dwelling units per acre and no commercial uses. The applicant has submitted an application to voluntarily annex the property into the City of Boynton Beach and change the future land use and zoning to OC and C-1, respectively, which would permit office -type uses at the site. The applicant has indicated intent to submit an application to construct two offices on the site, with one office bay acting as the offices for the applicant's architectural design business. Preliminary review of the proposed annexation by staff indicates that it meets the statutory conditions: the parcel is contiguous to the City boundary and "reasonably compact" in that it does not create enclaves or pockets. Voluntary annexations are regulated by Chapter 171.044, Florida Statutes; additional directions regarding the process are contained in the Palm Beach County Ordinance 2007-018. Pursuant to these requirements, on September 10, 2021 staff sent a notification of the proposed annexation to the Palm Beach County Administrator and Planning Director. County staff reviewed the application and have not identified any inconsistencies with Chapter 171 (Exhibit "F".). PROCESS Since the size of the property under consideration does not exceed 50 acres, does not involve a text change to the goals, policies, and objectives of the comprehensive plan, and is not located within an area of critical state concern, the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment is subject to the small-scale comprehensive plan amendment process 2 Page 183 of 341 Page 3 3518 Ruskin Avenue ANEX 21-001 / LUAR 21-002 per provisions of Chapter 163.3187, Florida Statutes. The final adoption by the City Commission is planned for January 2022. REVIEW BASED ON CRITERIA The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Article II, Section 23 and Section 2.D.3. These criteria are required to be part of a staff analysis when the proposed change includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) or a rezoning. a. Demonstration of Need. A demonstration of need may be based upon changing conditions that represent a demand for the proposed land use classification and zoning district. Appropriate data and analysis that adequately substantiates the need for the proposed land use amendment and rezoning must be provided within the application. This request is accompanied by a request for annexation. The parcel currently has a Palm Beach County zoning and future land use designation, whch would not be appropriate once the property is annexed into the City. Furthermore, the parcel's location along a major thoroughfare is unattractive for residential development. b. Consistency. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would be consistent with the purpose and intent of, and promote, the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations. The proposed FLUM amendment is consistent with the intent of several Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element policies, including: Policy 1.4.1 The City shall encourage a mixture of quality light industrial, commercial and office uses within commercial and industrial districts where such projects would not create significant land use conflicts and adequate public facilities are available to serve such uses. Policy 1.9.1 New development and redevelopment shall be consistent with the policies of the Future Land Use Element and conform to the Future Land Use Map or, if applicable, comply with the future land use recommendations of the CRA Community Redevelopment Plan and any future redevelopment plans. Policy 1.15.1 The City shall continue to promote the orderly annexation of lands consistent with Chapter 171, Florida Statutes. Policy 1. 15.3 The City shall require that property owners requesting annexation 3 Page 184 of 341 Page 4 3518 Ruskin Avenue ANEX 21-001 / LUAR 21-002 into the City concurrently apply for land use amendment and rezoning to the City's land use classification and zoning district. Reclassification and rezoning of properties annexed through city - initiated actions can be postponed for up to 6 months unless improvements are requested. c. Land Use Pattern. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or would create an isolated zoning district or an isolated land use classification unrelated to adjacent and nearby classifications, or would constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare. This factor is not intended to exclude FLUM reclassifications and rezonings that would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the community. The proposed C-1 zoning district allows for office and limited retail uses and is intended to serve as a transitional area between residential and higher intensity commercial areas. The site is currently located nearby to more intense uses along the corridor, including a day care, a nursing home, places of worship, and the Boynton Beach mall. This site is located nearby a residential district, therefore the proposed C-1 zoning would provide an appropriate transition from the higher -intensity commercial uses to the residential areas to the north and west of the site, meeting the intent of the zoning district. As such, the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment and rezoning would not create a conflict with the established land use pattern and would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the community. d. Sustainability. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would support the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with the Smart Growth or sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on 1) complementary land uses; 2) access to alternative modes of transportation; and 3) interconnectivity within the project and between adjacent properties. The proposed FLU and zoning designations will establish a commercially zoned property in proximity to a major east -west arterial in the city. Its position on the arterial road on the edge of a residential neighborhood offer opportunities for complementary land uses. The site is a less than one-half of a mile walk from three bus stops which collectively provide acccess to two bus routes, Route 2 and Route 73. e. Availability of Public Services / Infrastructure. All requests for Future Land Use Map amendments shall be reviewed for long-term capacity availability at the maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification. Water and Sewer. Long-term capacity availability for potable water and sewer for the subject request has been confirmed by the Utilities Department. Potable water is available adjacent to the site. The applicant intends to connect a lift station to a public pressure line approximately 450 south of the site. The developer will be responsible for C! Page 185 of 341 Page 5 3518 Ruskin Avenue ANEX 21-001 / LUAR 21-002 the cost of any off-site work. Solid Waste. The Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority determined that sufficient disposal capacity will be available at the existing landfill through approximately the year 2046. Drainage. Drainage will be reviewed in detail as part of the site plan, land development, and building permit review processes. Traffic. The traffic impact analysis will be submitted to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division at the time of site plan application. The Palm Beach County Engineering Division provided comments (Exhibit "F") during their review of the annexation. The comments include restricting right-of-way access to Javert Street, providing traffic visibility corner clips at each intersection, and transfering the existing street light adjacent to the property to the City for maintenance. Access and corner clips will be finalized during Site Plan review, and the City's Engineering Department is agreeable to the transfer of the street light to the City. Schools. No residential uses are allowed within the C-1 zoning designation, therefore school concurrency is not applicable. f. Compatibility. The application shall consider the following factors to determine compatibility. (1) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or would negatively affect the property values of adjacent and nearby properties; and (2) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the City as a whole. See the responses to criteria "a", "b" and "c". The property will be difficult to develop if a single-family residential zoning is maintained due to its close proximity to an arterial road. A change in future land use and zoning to one that supports commercial is more appropriate along commercial thoroughfares, and is proposed at an intensity which would produce a development in scale with the transitional nature of this corridor's segment. g. Economic Development Impact Determination for Conventional Zoning Districts. For rezoning/FLUM amendments involving rezoning to a conventional zoning district, the review shall consider whether the proposal would further Economic Development Program, but also determine whether the proposal would: 5 Page 186 of 341 Page 6 3518 Ruskin Avenue ANEX 21-001 / LUAR 21-002 (1) Represent a potential decrease in the possible intensity of development, given the uses permitted in the proposed land use category and/or zoning district; and (2) Represent a potential decrease in the number of uses with high probable economic development benefits. The current future land use and zoning only allows for the establishment of residential uses at a maximum of 5 dwelling units an acre. The proposed future land use amendment and rezoning to C-1 will eliminate residential entitlements but will permit low -intensity commercial uses at the site, which represent a potential to increase the possible intensity of development and number of uses with high probably economic development benefits. h. Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would reduce the amount of land available for commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can be recommended under the following conditions: (1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for commercial/industrial development, or (2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides substantiated evidence of satisfying at least four of the Direct Economic Development Benefits listed in subparagraph "g" above; and (3) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would result in comparable or higher employment numbers, building size and valuation than the potential of existing land use designation and/or rezoning. The current future land use designation and zoning is residential. The proposed FLUM amendment and rezoning would increase the amount of land available for commercial uses. L Alternative Sites. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for the proposed use in zoning districts where such use is already allowed. There are not comparable sites (this is a site looking for a development option, rather than a use looking for a site). See criterion "a." j. Master Plan and Site Plan Compliance with Land Development Regulations. When master plan and site plan review are required pursuant to Section 2.D.1.e above, both shall comply with the requirements of the respective zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article 111 and the site development standards of Chapter 4. Section 2.D.1.e states that "A master plan shall be required when a privately -initiated application is made to rezone lands to a planned zoning district." The proposed zoning Page 187 of 341 Page 7 3518 Ruskin Avenue ANEX 21-001 / LUAR 21-002 district is a conventional zoning district, therefore this criterion does not apply. The applicant intents to submit an application for a site plan with office space at a later date. Any site plan received will be reviewed against all applicable requirements of Article III. RECOMMENDATION Staff has reviewed the proposed Annexation and Future Land Use & Zoning Map amendments against the review criteria provided in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2, Subsections A.3, B.3.c & D.3 and has found the proposal to meet the aforementioned criteria. Therefore staff recommends that the request be approved. 7 Page 188 of 341 Page 189 of 341 Page 190 of 341 Page 191 of 341 Page 192 of 341 Page 193 of 341 Department of Planning, Zoning & Building 2300 North Jog Road West Palm Beach, FL 33411-2741 (561) 233-5000 Planning Division 233-5300 Zoning Division 233-5200 Building Division 233 -5 100 Code Enforcement 233-5500 Contractors Certification 233-5525 Administration Office 233-5005 Executive Office 233-5228 www.pbcgov.com/pzb ■ Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners Dave Kerner, Mayor Robert S.

Accept the recommendations of the City of Boynton Beach Racial and Social Equity Comprehensive Needs Assessment and Policy Recommendations Report. Explanation of Request: In July 2020, the Boynton Beach City Commission approved the creation of a Task Force to address racial and social equity in the City. Through a partnership with Florida International University, the City developed a comprehensive approach to equality that seeks to identify and develop recommendations for inequities within the City's marginalized communities and to position the City's organizational culture to institutionalize and implement equitable policies and programs. The City's Community Needs Assessment provides an analytical analysis of the City's demographics with recommendations focused on the areas of healthcare, education, housing, public safety, and economic opportunity. The Community Needs Assessment establishes a baseline evidence -based understanding of the community characteristics and trajectory with indicators that can be used to develop a social equity index that reflects current conditions and allows for monitoring of changes and progress in the future. How will this affect city programs or services? The Community Needs Assessment identifies racial and social inequities and help develop strategies and policies to close the equity gap. Fiscal Impact: Priorities and Funding will be identified through the budget approval process.

Boynton Beach Community Needs Assessment (CNA) is part of the City's comprehensive approach to address racial and social equity in the city through an internal assessment, a community assessment, and authentic and impactful engagement. Combined, these three elements - evidence -based community analysis, review and changes in internal city policies and practices, and authentic community engagement that leads to the long-term integration of community feedback into the policy-making realm - present a model that has not been implemented anywhere else in South Florida. It also speaks to the genuine long-term commitment of the City to meet the current challenges head on, by understanding community dynamics and ensuring an intentional and impactful response from the city and its partners. The CNA aims to highlight the most pressing issues for city residents through an equity lens. More importantly, the research and data presented in this report illustrate the intersections of various community challenges and provide insight into how complex issues can and should be addressed collaboratively. The findings point to significant equity issues that are not unique to Boynton Beach but are rather pervasive across communities in the United States. What makes the City different from many other localities is its willingness to examine them critically and then commit to working with partners and diverse groups across the city to channel resources towards solutions, through capacity building, funding allocation and leadership. The City of Boynton Beach is an important partner in this endeavor, but the development and delivery of services that address community needs and take advantage of opportunities to enhance equitable prosperity and well-being, requires a community -wide effort to bring along and activate all sectors, from government to business, from not-for-profit human services to voluntary groups. The CNA provides the foundation for strengthening cross -sector nonprofit -government collaboration and service delivery. The findings outlined below highlight the most significant disparities and point to potential strategies for addressing them. Findings are organized by equity pillar, but it is necessary to underscore that as the challenges intersect, so do the solutions. Additionally, while various data illustrates equity challenges across racial and ethnic groups, the equity lens should be applied to other groups based on gender, age, social status, religious affinity, sexual orientation, and other individual and group characteristics. Diversity is a statistic. Inclusion is the action required to translate the statistic into strength. Equity is the outcome. An equitable community empowers all residents to thrive and reach their full potential. i Economic Stability and Resilience Disparities in Income and Poverty Rates: Black or African American residents historically and currently have significantly lower household and per -capita incomes than their White and Hispanic neighbors. Black residents also experience poverty at higher rates than the rest of the city. Recommended Strategies: Targeted efforts to increase awareness of job and training options; direct resources and encourage providers to connect with economically disadvantaged individuals and consider providing additional services that improve access to training, e.g. transportation, life coaching, and other wraparound services. Dominance of Sectors with Low Upward Mobility and Income Prospects: Retail Trade ranks first in number of establishments and second in number of employees. This is a sector with a high concentration of minorities and younger workers; these jobs also tend to be lower -wage positions with little -to -no security or stability. Recommended Strategies: Encourage retailers to provide higher incomes, but also benefits and policies that provide stability to workers; conduct a business survey to understand challenges of employers in finding workforce and their needs for business support services; develop a targeted approach to attract and support businesses in high wage sectors; incubate and accelerate existing businesses with high-growth potential and high value-added in terms of revenues and worker earnings; Buy Local campaign; provide exposure to local businesses by creating a local directory Low Diversity of Jobs and Occupations: There is little awareness/attention on jobs that only require short-term training or certification. Many of these sectors, like Construction, provide opportunities for higher earnings and are in -demand. Recommended Strategies: Promotion of existing educational programs, encourage education providers to offer short-term certifications for in -demand jobs within the city (to avoid transportation challenges); monitor economic changes to pivot educational opportunities into sectors in -need of a larger "pipeline" and specific skills Office Space in High Demand: Rented office space is currently at a 14 -year low vacancy rate while rent cost per square foot has steadily increased over the past decade. Even with 80,000 square feet of new office space completing soon, vacancies are projected to remain low. The changes in the retail sector precipitated by online trade create uncertainty about some commercial space uses. Recommended Strategies: Promotion of Boynton Beach as a professional work -destination; Leveraging current market to attract desired/targeted companies and sector; explore demand and opportunities for co -working space. Shifting Shopping Habits: Online shopping has flourished during the pandemic and projections show that traditional Brick -and -Mortar shops are unlikely to reach their previous popularity. Stand- alone shop vacancies are increasing but Strip -malls (clustered stores sharing parking lots) are becoming more popular. Recommended Strategies: Encourage zoning transitions to more clustered shops; promote hybrid business models that incorporate the online component of shopping; support businesses with digital connectivity, e.g. website creation, online sales and other business supports — work with existing providers to offer services in Boynton Beach. �i N Page 242 of 341 Education Disparities in Graduation Rates and Standardized Assessments: Leading up to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, graduation rates in the city had been steadily rising. Newer data is revealing that graduation rates are starting to decline. This is likely connected to the steep drops in FSA Math/ELL scores; Math scores in particular are showing concerning decline since 2019. Recommended Strategies: Make primary and secondary school experiences more equitable by focusing resources in areas that will uplift underserved communities - provide prep courses/programs and practice testing; after-school programming; revive the youth center closed during the recession. Disparities in Educational Attainment Inhibit Economic Opportunities: Boynton Beach has a large, college educated population with the majority of Bachelor's Degrees in the Science/Engineering or Business sectors. While similar proportions of Hispanic, Black, and White residents attended at least some college, Black or African American residents are less likely to obtain Bachelor's or Graduate degrees. GEDs and alternative credentialing is generally underutilized. Recommended Strategies: Create an effective education -to -workforce pipeline by analyzing job demand and worker supply trends, and raising awareness about future job prospects and training opportunities; disseminate information to students about skills in demand and job projections. Improve School Choice and Access to Programs: Families with the means to do so, are sending their children to charter or private schools. This is resulting in a concentration of minorities and economically disadvantaged students within the city's public schools. While Boynton Beach is predominantly white and relatively affluent, most students attending public school within city boundaries are minorities or economically disadvantaged, or both. Recommended Strategies: Improve support to at -risk students - ensure that students receive information and opportunities to learn both in school and outside of school on career topics, including prospective fields of work; create partnerships between city, school and the private sector for mentorship, internships or apprenticeships; invite certification providers to offer accessible and affordable courses to students, creating foundational skills, including technology, but also soft skills, college readiness, financial literacy; afterschool programs; economic instability and parental involvement have significant impact on educational outcomes, therefore provide wraparound services to families. Housing Disparities in Ownership and Cost -burden: White, Non -Hispanic residents of Boynton Beach have much higher home -ownership rates than minority residents. Black or African American residents, in particular, have the lowest homeownership rates. Renters are much more likely to spend unsustainable amounts of their income on housing costs; most Boynton Beach renters are cost - burdened, i.e. spending 30 percent or more of income on housing costs. Turbulent Market for Buying and Renting: In 2021, nearly 40% of sold Homes were sold above the listing price and the median number of days on -market for homes has halved. Apartment rental prices have increased significantly despite Boynton having one of the fastest growing supply pipelines in the county. Less than 10% of Boynton Renters could feasibly transition to Homeownership in the current market given income and market trends. Recommended Strategies: First homebuyer programs, provide incentives for affordable housing development through land use changes, mixed -income development; focus on economic development broadly as a way to improve income levels and job creation, e.g. small business development; focus resources, information, job opportunities and workforce development to lower income renter households; financial literacy and education; direct aid to renters Aging of Housing Stock: Approximately two-thirds of housing in Boynton Beach was built prior to 1990. The age of available homes has implications for the city as older housing that has not been consistently maintained is less likely to attract new families or maintain current families where they are. Median Home values in Boynton fluctuate between decades, but some of the lowest values are seen in homes built from the 60's to the late 70's. Most people who own these homes are senior citizens. Recommended Strategies: Resources for renovations and maintenance of older homes; buyout of older homes and preserving them as affordable housing, working with developers to renovate and keep affordable or put in a trust; land banking, i.e. purchase of land by City of Boynton Beach and CRA to be used for development of affordable housing Criminal Justice and Safety Crime Rate Decrease but Variation Across Neighborhoods: There was a significant decrease of crime rates from 2010 to 2020; however, crime rates in Boynton Beach are higher than the county and vary across neighborhoods, with higher rates in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Recommended Strategies: Adopt a public health model by addressing determinants of criminal behavior, e.g. efforts that create decent -paying jobs, enhancing vocational and educational opportunities, improving neighborhood living conditions and housing stability should all help reduce poverty and its attendant problems and thus to reduce crime; support programs that reduce recidivism and encourage reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals. Juvenile Crime Decrease but High Rate in Economically Disadvantaged Neighborhoods: A decrease in juvenile crimes but a higher rate of juvenile crime among economically disadvantaged populations and neighborhoods; an increase in the youth who are issued a civil citation (diversion alternative), but a higher proportion of minority youth offenders are arrested rather than issued an alternative civil citation. Recommended Strategies: Addressing behavioral needs of youth at first contact with the juvenile justice system and helping them overcome that behavior enhances public safety; Evidence shows that after-school programs reduce crime; Wraparound family support, mental health and substance abuse services outside of school and after school hours; Mentorship and life coaching, providing positive role models for youth in single -parent families Policing: Drivers of crime are complex and members of communities with high crime rates may feel trapped between violence and law enforcement. Determine the right quantity of policing by involving the community and building trust. Recommended Strategies: Community policing, which denotes the building of relationships between police and the community through consistent presence of recognizable officers and their interaction with the community; Programs that introduce police to school-age children and reduce fear and distrust; review officer body camera footage, analyze trends of use of force and provide training for law enforcement officials Sj Page 244 of 341 Health Lower rate of health insurance coverage for working age residents and for African American and Hispanic groups: The younger population, under 18 years, and the older population, over 65, have the highest rates of health insurance coverage. Black residents are the least likely to have health insurance coverage. Lower health insurance rates among minority groups are linked to their concentration in food service, hospitality and retail sectors that often do not offer health benefits, as well as their employment in small businesses that are not required to offer healthcare benefits. Recommended Strategies: Advocacy with employers to offer health benefits; workforce upskilling to match skills demand for higher wage positions with health benefits; increase awareness of health insurance marketplace. Adverse health outcomes disproportionately impact Black residents: Some of the illnesses can be controlled by lifestyle choices and regular check-ups. But the populations that could greatly benefit from behavior change also has the least access to healthy choices and resources. Recommended Strategies: Increasing access to wrap-around services and food security in under - resourced neighborhoods; Increasing awareness of racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare; Targeted education and health awareness campaigns There is a significant need for mental health services: The rate of behavioral/mental health professionals in Palm Beach County increased by 12 percent from 2016 to 2019; however, services may be inaccessible to lower income and uninsured residents. In addition to physical health outcomes, mental health outcomes are important factors that determine quality of life. Stressors such as job loss/unemployment, financial instability, and traumatic life events have a direct impact on overall health. Recommended Strategies: Raise awareness about the importance of mental health, and reduce stigma about seeking help, especially among minorities and male residents; create partnerships among local organizations to provide continuum of service delivery Healthy Lifestyle Choices and Eating Habits Begin at a Young Age: Evidence shows that early learning is a crucial stage that influences behavior in later life stages, and has long-term impacts on lifestyle choices and health outcomes. Recommended Strategies: Early intervention through culturally sensitive approach to health and wellness; school and at-home education; urban and community gardens; support for local and regional organizations that provide affordable healthy foods to vulnerable residents i I11introductiain The purpose of the Boynton Beach Community Needs Assessment (CNA) is to develop a framework to address racial and social equity in the delivery of city services for the benefit of all communities within the city. This unique equity initiative came about as a local response to a national crisis. The tragic killings of three unarmed African Americans - Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor - sparked civil uprisings nationally and internationally. These events helped catalyze and invigorate an ongoing movement to address racial, ethnic inequities and disparities that have existed across all spaces of American life. In July 2020, the Boynton Beach City Commission approved the creation of a Task Force to address racial and social equity in the city. Through a partnership with Florida International University, the City developed a comprehensive approach that seeks to identify and develop recommendations for inequities within the City's marginalized communities through a Community Assessment, and to position the City's organizational culture to institutionalize and implement equitable policies and programs through an internal assessment, The Diversity and Equity Assessment of City Systems. The internal city assessment entailed an examination of internal city practices to ensure that the City has the structures and capacity to effectively implement policies towards racial and social justice. The Diversity and Equity Assessment was presented to the City Commission on November 16, 2021, and the elected official unanimously approved its recommendations. The 31 recommendations included the hire a Director of Equity and Inclusion (E&I), the training of city leadership and staff on diversity, equity and inclusion, and the continued monitoring and analysis of the outcomes of various city policies and procedures through an equity lens. This seminal report creates the foundation for the city to become a leader in the implementation of equity within city structures and policies. In conjunction with the internal assessment, the City's CNA provides comprehensive analysis establishing evidence -based understanding of community characteristics and trajectory across the five equity pillars — education, housing, economic opportunity, health and wellness, and safety — and examines their intersecting relationships in order to develop holistic, integrated approaches to community development. The CNA indicators can be used to develop a social equity index that reflects current conditions and allows for the monitoring of changes and progress in the future. The data used in the development of this report is the most current information from publicly available and proprietary sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, Florida Department of Education, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and many others. Additional information and feedback were provided in two focus groups with Boynton Beach residents, a public meeting held in November a Page 246 of 341 2021, and fifteen roundtable discussions with community stakeholders held between August and November 2021. (See AMen6x for the list of invited participants by pillar). A crucial element in developing community-based solutions is the authentic engagement strategy deployed in the CNA development. Stakeholder committees of individuals from identified social groups, city representatives, and community members were established for each focus area, and the groups met monthly from August through October 2021. The participants provided feedback on the data included in the CNA and discussed strategies and solutions. The intent behind this continuous stakeholder engagement is for it to lead to the long-term integration of community feedback into the policy-making realm, a model that has not been implemented anywhere else in South Florida. Typically stakeholders are approached to provide intermittent feedback on specific items, research, policies, or other efforts, rather than continuously and in a manner that integrates different perspectives, from education, to workforce development to business support services. The intent is for the stakeholder engaged in this process to serve as a strong learning community that fosters interactions and relationships based on mutual respect and trust. The roundtable meetings established a social structure for individuals to share ideas, stories, documents, etc. that support community activities and help individuals make sense of new knowledge. This engagement strategy is about outreach and dissemination of information, but also includes the community for consultation, collaboration, and shared leadership. As this engagement continues, it will lead to the development of community leaders as the champions of transformation. COVID-19 is a likely Great Accelerator of longstanding socio-economic trends. Now, more than ever, local officials need to partner with community organizations to act as economic and community development officers, and to that end, they need the tools and appropriate mechanisms to implement solutions. The CNA provides the baseline knowledge upon which subsequent community building and development can occur. This comprehensive, holistic analysis connects the different indicators and speaks to the barriers and opportunities for community development. Ilf; duan Ill- 111 lll�iIii all"fid IIf; adl.c.giroundIIIIIII f' III°'lll °m lii lllrm The City of Boynton Beach has been in a period of transformation over the past decade. Since 2010, the city's population has grown by about 17.8 percent, to 80,380 residents. While the city's population is predominantly White Non - Hispanic (47 percent, Black or African American residents (31 percent) and Hispanic or Latino residents (15 percent) make up just under half of all residents. In terms of racial composition, 1,910 Boynton Beach residents identified as Asian, 251 as American Indian and Alaskan Native and 3,975 were of some other race. Much like many other communities across South Florida, Boynton Beach is becoming more diverse. The Hispanic community experienced substantial growth over that same period — from 8,702 residents to 12,416 between 2010 and 2020.'

In 2019, about 40% of households in Boynton Beach were married -couple families and about a fifth of households had at least one child. The city has become slightly younger, with the median age dropping by about a year, and the number of children increasing from 13,150 in 2010 to 14,035 in 2020. However, the proportion of children living in Boynton Beach has steadily been dropping over the past decade, from 19.3 percent in 2010 down to 17.5 percent in 2020.2 The proportion of residents 65 years of age and over (21 %), is slightly lower than neighboring, comparable cities like Delray Beach and Boca Raton. This indicates a growing proportion of working -age adults. Another important change is the decrease in the proportion of householders who own their homes, from about 68% in 2010 to 60% of all units in 2019. Inversely, renters in Boynton grew from about 32% to 40%.3 These changes are not unique to Boynton Beach but are of significant import as they speak to the market conditions and challenges of homeownership in South Florida. The wave of population growth is important as it demonstrates the community's attractiveness and competitive advantage, but growth needs to be harnessed for positive outcomes. Growth alone does not improve the lives of residents, but proper management and careful consideration has the potential to translate this growth into uplifting results. For example, despite the population increase, home ownership rate, the pool of housing units, and incomes, have not matched that pace of expansion. The population growth of the city has been driven by an influx of new residents from other parts of the United States or other countries. In 2019, 1,911 households were estimated to had moved from abroad, 866 had moved from a different state, and 1,606 moved from a different county. Overall, in ' U.S. Census Bureau.

IN, Page 248 of 341 2019, almost 14 percent were new Boynton Beach residents. In 2019, 29 percent of Boynton Beach households spoke a language other than English in the household, of which 3,442 were Spanish- speaking, and 5,902 spoke other languages. Almost 19,000 of the housing units (61 percent) were occupied by households who had been living in their residence only since 2010.4 Although more current data is not available yet, based on news coverage about influx of new residents to South Florida from the Northeast, Midwest and West, it is likely that Boynton Beach is continuing to attract new residents. Across many of the pillars examined in this assessment, lines drawn across race, ethnicity, and sex demonstrate disparities with significant effects on resident prosperity and potential. Some of these factors are newer phenomena, like the need for digital connectivity services, but the foundation for much of this disparity has been laid in decades and centuries past. Many of the issues discussed here are longstanding pervasive problems that the city, and in many cases, the nation overall, have been dealing with. 4 U.S. Census Bureau.

Ilf;;;;; Ilan ilii m lii to lb ii IIII lii lirm l 11:1esilierice i Perhaps the most centrally situated topic, is the economic progress and development of Boynton Beach. The economic development of the city is closely connected to many other topics. Often, successes in areas like education, health, and housing, directly correlate with economic indicators like income, debt, and economic mobility. Economic stability refers to the extent to which the community and work force is able to maintain its capacity in the face of hardships. For example, industry sectors that can withstand broader economic downturn provide the community and its employees with stability. Resiliency is closely connected to this, as it refers to the community's capacity to withstand negative shifts in stability — this was exemplified during the onset of the pandemic when businesses used lines of credit or government loans and grants to keep employees on payroll. Household incomes have been rising steadily in Palm Beach County since 2010, but the same is not necessarily true for residents of Boynton. The bulk of recent decline in incomes occurred in the wake of the 2008 recession — residents of all races, ethnicities, and sexes experienced earnings decreases, but they were proportionally more dramatic for the Hispanic and Black community. Beginning around 2015, median household incomes began to rapidly rise from $51,000 to nearly $58,000; by 2019, median household incomes had risen to finally be higher than they were in 2010. A similar trend is seen for per capita income during the same period, with the incomes of individual Boynton Beach residents also climbing significantly. By 2019, income levels had risen to just below their levels in the decade prior, once adjusted for inflation.I mei tlll Illluum � Ill y Illi t White, Noinhispainic Analysis of these trends helps exemplify 13flack or African Arn irican some of the racial and ethnic disparities IN ii ipainic or 11....atino that were longstanding prior to the 4t!'

An interesting finding here was that despite Hispanic residents earning less annually per capita, on average their median household income was slightly above that of White, non -Hispanic residents. This is likely a result of a combination of things, particularly more working age adults per home as well as a more homogenous distribution of income levels within the Hispanic community of Boynton Beach. Another longstanding inequity is that between the incomes of men and women. From 2015-2019, before factoring for inflation, the median income level of men rose slightly while that of women fell slightly. That said, once inflation is accounted for, both groups have experienced overall decreases 5 U.S. Census Bureau.

The overview of both household and per capita income levels is necessary to effectively gauge how residents deal with shifts in economic conditions — after all, nearly 77 percent of all households in Boynton Beach are families. By 2019 many Boynton Beach residents had started to recover from the economic recession they experienced just a few years prior — poverty rates declined, residents were employed at higher rates, and home values were reaching the previous median levels. But even so, per capita, residents of Boynton across races and sexes were making less, on average, in 2019 than they were in 2010. At the household level, however, incomes were growing. This speaks to the complexity of assessing economic conditions within the city and to the potential short comings of income as an indicator in absence of other metrics. In feedback provided during the focus groups, residents agreed that the city has experienced significant economic growth with new infrastructure, business and commerce attraction and targeted higher -end home development in recent years. But many also noted that much of this development and growth has little -to -no benefit for the already underserved segments of the population. Em Poverty rates, as previously mentioned, have generally improved over this past decade. The child poverty rate decreased from 26.6 percent to 21.6 percent from 2012 to 2019. In 2019, this equated to 2,873 children in poverty. For the working age disabled population of Boynton Beach, the poverty rate declined from 26.0 percent to 17.3 percent. The most substantial increase in poverty rates, of the few that occurred, was within the senior citizen (65+) community of Boynton Beach - an increase from 10.4 percent to 11.4 percent. Analyzing particularly vulnerable populations like elderly and the disabled provide a significant measure of how effective the city has been at combating poverty and providing opportunity. The poverty rate is an issue on which much progress has been made in relation to longstanding disparities, and yet much remains to be done. As is the case with many indicators assessed herein, the disparity is most evident when analyzing and comparing figures for the Black and African American population. In just four short years from 2015 to 2019, the poverty rate for Black residents declined by an impressive 9 percentage points (30.5 percent to 21.4 percent) - and still, Black residents were experiencing poverty at over double the rate of their White, non -Hispanic neighbors'. The poverty rate of Hispanic residents has been steadily declining over the past decade and has been the "middle" category of the three major racial/ethnic groups. A significant influence on poverty status is the make-up of households and families; families with just one householder and no spouse present are more likely to experience poverty. Hispanic and Black and African American families are more likely to have a single householder. These families experience higher rates of poverty, and this is especially true for homes where only a mother is present. Considering 6 U.S. Census Bureau.

Overall, about 10,400 people in Boynton Beach in 2019 were below the poverty line. Despite being almost half of the population, 34 percent of that count were White, non -Hispanic individuals, while 47 percent were Black or African American, and 14 percent were Hispanic or Latino. This raises the concern that while efforts to curb poverty (especially since the years following the I:N��)veily IIII1,��,:Ites y IIII�'°ace an�d IIIIIIIIIC il� lii��lii �y recession) have been effective, targeted attention I« rilfis African -- 1neriican is needed to make that progress more equitable. ....

Median incomes are generally lower in the Heart of Boynton than the rest of the city. 2012 2015 2019 ll,,,,,Wbuir Ili°° Nrce A consistent part of the discourse surrounding economic development, especially when speaking about individual outcomes, has been the insistence that hard work and self-determination — and less so structural factors and economic conditions — ultimately play the deciding role in economic outcomes like one's station, stability, and prosperity. Much of the data available, however, indicates a lack of nuance in that position. The labor force participation rates identify the proportion of residents that are either working or actively seeking work. Some segments, like Black and African American residents, have the highest labor force participation, highest unemployment rates and are simultaneously earning the lowest incomes. Shifts in these metrics have followed a similar pattern as that described in incomes for Boynton Beach — after a universal drop in employment (and increase in unemployment) in the years following the 2008 recession, the workforce stabilized at previous levels by 2019. An important takeaway from these metrics is the simple fact that people who are struggling financially in Boynton, are working, often more than one job, and are generally trying to take the same basic wealth -building steps that their neighbors have taken. There is also little data available for the city to account for the types of informal obligations and work performed by residents that does not translate into their incomes and earnings. For example, many community workers have mentioned the need to consider Boynton residents who are caretakers for their elderly relatives so that support can be provided to keep that responsibility from hindering their economic growth. Another example of informal, unrecorded work is the labor that mothers perform for their children which, either through necessity or societal norms, results in women participating in the formal workforce at lower rates. Remarkably, at 80 percent labor force participation, women in Boynton Beach were just five percent lower than men. For women with children under six years, that figure $ U.S. Census Bureau. American Community Survey. 2019, 5 -Year Estimates. h:ttNps:Llwww:_dal:a.:_ceins.ys::.cgov Page 252 of 341 drops down to 69 percent.9 It should be noted that this relationship existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic; since then, there have been renewed calls for childcare support services to be implemented, bolstered, and expanded to help parents (but especially women) deal with the burden of caring for their young children while having to continue to provide.

Finishing high school and even just having attended "some college" were seen to increase average expected earnings; the median earnings for a high school graduate were about $27,000, for residents with a Bachelor's degree, that rose to about $49,000, and for residents with a graduate degree the median earnings was about $53,000. It should also be noted that disability status also plays a major role a person's job prospects and economic mobility. This is true for residents with physical impairments as well as those with neurodivergent conditions — targeted attention will likely be needed to enable these groups to become financially successful. IC" oirnliiinaint lindustry Sectors in nd OcctjIlpatioins While educational disparities drive issues of job -choice, there is also much to be said about the job landscape itself. Retail trade in Boynton Beach represents a significant segment of jobs and businesses, with about 17.4 percent of jobs in this sector in 2021. While contributing the largest percentage of individual establishments (13.2 percent) and the second highestjob count in the city (behind Health Care and Social Assistance), the Retail sector also offers just the seventh highest average earnings ($38,424) of all the city's sectors. 10 Many may point to the low barriers of entry to this sector as justification for low earnings, but realistically the difference between a retail worker staying in their current field or moving to a higher paying sector can be something as simple as a short-term certification or training process. There are other higher paying industries that have relatively low entry barriers — like construction, for example. Switching career paths could provide immediate income boosts to the thousands of workers currently in low-wage, unreliable positions. This kind of support and service are provided by organizations working in Boynton Beach, like CareerSource, which have achieved impressive results with the residents that take advantage of them. That said, more work is needed to make people aware of the possibilities available to them especially for those that have left their educational careers behind and have been in the workforce for years. 9 U.S. Census Bureau.

C.b b �uyr. yy y �Y�rS/Y��l In relation to occupations, independent of industry, most workers living in Boynton Beach (82 percent) are in management, service, and sales/office jobs" The construction/maintenance and production occupations are overshadowed by the other major sectors in terms of overall job counts, further indicating the need for diversification. The disparities in income and poverty become relevant when examining the racial and ethnic distribution across occupations. For example, the "white-collar" jobs like business, management, arts, and office jobs are dominated by the White, Non -Hispanic population. In contrast, Hispanic and Black residents are highly concentrated in the service and food accommodation Jobs 12 — these are positions that are typically low-wage, lack benefits like healthcare and paid time off, and also are less resilient in the face of economic downturn. It should be noted, amidst this discussion of income levels and work opportunities that any progress made in this area will be directly affected by several other mitigating factors that must be addressed before an equitable economy is possible. Burdens like housing and healthcare costs, while discussed as separate topics, directly affect a person's economic standing — what does $30,000 annual income mean when $15,000 was spent on rent? What does it mean to be employed full-time if one is still afraid to visit a hospital or clinic because they don't have insurance, or they cannot take time off from work to address individual or family health concerns? To the extent possible, increasing wages and advocating for/incentivizing higher pay for workers will have a direct impact on people's daily lives — especially those struggling near the poverty line. More indirectly, but widely recognized as a viable path forward, is the diversification of jobs and career paths. This effort could target both children and adults. In our residents focus groups, 50 percent of participants agreed that professional development and job training were the greatest obstacle to economic opportunity. For example, residents noted that they remembered having taken courses during their high school years that prepared them for work and "the real world" — the 11 Ibid. 12 U.S. Census Bureau. American Community Survey. https://www.data.census.gov Page 254 of 341 consensus was that these opportunities made them more successful in their adult lives. Starting in high school, students can be given opportunities to gain skills and credentials that would prepare them for a life that does not necessarily include college. Partnership with the private sector can help develop pipelines for industries in the city while simultaneously giving Boynton's youth a foundation to build on. As it pertains to adults, the aim should be to help low- and middle-income adults transition out of their current occupations and into new career paths. „lfiiraniiisllC,,)oiir°t tliioiiii Given the spread of industries in the city, there seems to be a mismatch of the talent and jobs in the city. With such a large percentage of Boynton Beach's adults having attained secondary and post-secondary education levels (89 percent), a wide majority of those living in Boynton Beach (88.5 percent) commute to other places for work. Inversely, most of the people working in the city (87.7 percent) do not also live there; the largest contributor to Boynton Beach's workforce is Boca Raton. 13 This mismatch translates into the transportation challenges that are present in many I Illluide°r c' Illl...lr rwl IIIII�,uiliiic'lllllallllliitliiie r cities across south Florida.

Specifically, it seems that Boynton is seen as an attractive place for businesses requiring office space. While Boynton is home to one of the smaller pools of office buildings in the county, vacancies for these locations are at a 14-year low (8.2 percent) and market rent per square foot has increased significantly, to $31.85 per square foot as of Q1 of 2021. That pool is currently being increased with several projects currently in the pipeline — even so, projections show that vacancies will remain low, indicating that employers are likely to quickly move into the city. 15 In other words, the office real estate market in Boynton Beach is likely as primed as it has ever been. With Boynton Beach becoming a destination for employers to settle, some forward-thinking strategies like implementation of co-working space (which have grown in popularity in recent years) and a more robust digital infrastructure can help capture this momentum for the city's benefit. An inverse trend can be seen in retail commercial real estate; market rent per square foot continues to rise past historical highs to $28.91 per square foot, even as vacancies increased from 2.7 percent 13 U.S. Census Bureau. 2018.

Commercial Real Estate Analytics. https://www.costar.com in 2019 to 5.3 percent in Q1 of 2021. This dynamic is not particularly sustainable and will see retailers struggling to remain in the city. Because this is an issue being seen around the nation inspiration can be found in the success of several strategies being implemented in metropolitan areas. For one, cities like San Francisco and Baltimore have seen some success in inserting themselves into the negotiation and deliberation of retail leases. One option is to negotiate with landlords on behalf of renters to help ensure that prices remain in an affordable range. Another route would be the "master leasing" of some of this space and the subsequent sublease to deserving business; in this scenario the city would absorb the losses in rent cost so that business can afford to stay in place. A more significant move would be to buy some of the available space and transferring it to a land trust or bank to be managed in perpetuity. These arrangements can be altered and designed to meet the needs of the city and would also ensure that some of this real estate will remain potentially available to all — not just large corporations and businesses. This notion is crucial in trying to drive the impending development in an equitable direction for all of Boynton's residents. One of the more nuanced findings to come from the commercial market analysis, is the shift in shopping trends — despite the numerous pressures on businesses like work force shortages and decreased foot traffic, business vacancies are continuing to decline16. This indicated a need to further investigate the state of commerce in the city. For one, e-commerce furthered its hold over°cen,,°III' IIIIIII�° �� ,msl ui� e s Aida es! es Vacant consumers over the course of the pandemic. i11111 oynton Ill each This has implications for retailers and businesses that rely on foot traffic to drive commerce. Moreover, shoppers seem to be seeking a different kind of experience when they��` visit physical store fronts. Malls and neighborhood centers (standalone shops with os% isolated parking lots) have both seen significant decline in occupancy according to COSTAR's underwriting reports — indicating concerns of 2 C 5 2016 2017 2.0 ii o 201n o 2020 popularity or foot traffic on the tenant -end. Strip SOURT, WtlSPS Cf W � VU POIW)6%I WJ malls (clusters of 10-20+ stores with outdoor walkways), on the other hand, have seen a rise in occupancy in the final quarters of 2020. This suggests that shoppers are increasingly seeking more out of their trips to the store. For instance, on a trip to get a haircut, someone may also be interested in getting a bite to eat next door and browse some clothing stores directly afterwards. Delivering this kind of experience to consumers will be key to supporting the large retail sector in the city. To deal with this hybrid era of online shopping and in-person visits, certain measures like the implementation of cutting-edge websites and interfaces may be necessary as many establishments currently are behind in this or lack a website altogether. To help service these establishments in need, coordination with the small business service providers could prove beneficial. The city should also be cognizant of the shift in consumer habits and thus encourage zoning transitions to the strip mall format where appropriate. Placing manufacturers in areas seeking to boost foot -traffic where it does not already exist has proven to help these kinds of 16 PolicyMap. Business Vacancies. https://www.policymap.com Page 256 of 341 initiatives in other cities like San Francisco and Greater Boston 17. These are businesses that sell their own goods but don't necessarily rely on foot -traffic to make a sale; as interested people come to see and watch, foot traffic is built up naturally to the benefit of retailers in the area. To mitigate some of the negative trends and enhance equitable opportunities for its residents, the city and partner organizations can advocate for higher wages, harness the momentum of the shifting commercial real estate market to shape the city's industries, seek alternate leasing strategies to help retailers stay in place, and work with local businesses to develop and implement digital components like websites and online ordering, but also collaborate with providers to build small business resilience. Through diversity and inclusion efforts, swaths of residents can be enabled to move into better paying, more secure jobs as well as training opportunities. By working with existing organizations and boosting their efforts, new pathways can be extended to previously neglected populations. Specifically, an effort to transition low-income workers out of service occupations and the retail industry will help close the disparities observed in income and poverty. To do this, firstly, it will be important to encourage retailers and businesses to do more for their workers; this would certainly mean higher wages, but it also importantly includes enhanced benefits and shifted policies like health care coverage and paid time off, to help workers in Boynton Beach deal with the various burdens they encounter simply by virtue of being low-income. Moreover, a targeted strategy may be necessary to attract businesses in higher -wage sectors as well as to incubate and accelerate businesses identified to have high growth potential and value — both in terms of revenue as well as worker earnings. The strategic shepherding of desired industries and businesses is in line the city's "place making" efforts. Given the prime and peculiar nature of Boynton's commercial real estate market, the city finds itself in a critical position to harness and direct some of the momentum for its benefit. As it relates to office space, this prime real estate can be used to attract specific desired businesses to the city. Co -working spaces, which have become popular in the current era of hybrid working, are an example of a use of office space that will be attractive to many; these spaces would be shared by different companies allowing several parties to benefit from the desired space. Retailers, on the other hand, will likely need support from the city to stay competitive. To reiterate, market rent is climbing at a time when less businesses are occupying the land — this may call for the city to insert itself into leasing agreements either through negotiating terms, master leasing and sub leasing, or moving the land into a type of trust or bank to be managed. Because the nature of shopping itself has shifted in Boynton, as it has all over, physical retailers hoping to maintain physical storefronts will have to supplement that with digital components like a website and online ordering. These businesses will likely need digital support services to create modern websites and enable online purchasing; the local SBDC can help facilitate these services. The city can also help businesses ride the wave of strip mall popularity (and decline of neighborhood centers and malls) by encouraging zoning transitions that would provide for more clustered shops. 17 Preuss I.

Higher earnings also allow workers to afford homes in safer neighborhoods as well as healthier diets. Although every level of education plays an important role in the life of a person, many instinctively focus on the K -I 2 level when considering the state of Boynton's education system. And while that does encompass a large part of the topic, it's imperative to keep in mind that a successful education delivery system prepares and enables people of all ages, at all levels, and without any singular outcome inmind.

Disparities The K-12 system is our first interaction with educational systems and does build the foundation for so much of what residents will achieve in their future. In Boynton Beach, it seems that families with the means to do so, tend to send their children to non-public schools either in the area or further away. This has resulted in a bifurcated system wherein students with wealth or resources are funneled out of the public schools. As only the economically disadvantaged students continue to attend public schools, enrollment numbers in public schools decline and charter schools expand, resources are being diverted from an already underfunded public education system. This, of course, impacts Black and Hispanic students in Boynton's public schools who are more likely to come from families with limited resources. 78.9 percent of Boynton's schools are majority -minority schools and 68.4 percent are majority -economically disadvantaged. 5ornerset Canyons High It Somerset.

With the graduation gap as it stands, it's difficult to expect equitable economic outcomes. Because of the way attendance boundaries are laid out, as well as the presence of several charter schools, it's difficult to speak about K-12 outcomes at the city -level. Instead, we are able to analyze the individual schools in the area. With that in mind, the first important observation is that high school graduation rates have been generally rising over the past decade. With just slight dips along the way leading up to 2019, students in Boynton in charter schools and public schools alike were graduating at increasingly higher rates. This is true for female/male students, as well as English language learner (ELL) students. For example, from 2016 to 2019 the graduate rate at Boynton Beach community high rose from 85.0 percent to 88.4 percent. At a more granular level, disparities in graduation rates that have existed for years have begun to diminish. Black students have historically graduated at lower rates in Palm Beach, behind Hispanic and Latino students and then White, Non -Hispanic students. Since 2015 especially, these rates have all risen and approached a more even distribution; by the 2019-20 school year, the Hispanic graduation rate increased from 79.5 percent to 87.6 percent and the Black graduation rate EK of O Baynton Beach City bmit C Charter School Grades Grade 18.19 Public Middle Schools A 18-19 Grade �y� B a L� C �JA .ATLANTIC C CA COMMUNITY CCM NMUNYTY Public Elementary Schools COMMUNI� Public Public Schools Grade - N 18-19 Grade de A a 9.2 2.4 3.6 4.$ Miles f Of.

With that in mind, the first important observation is that high school graduation rates have been generally rising over the past decade. With just slight dips along the way leading up to 2019, students in Boynton in charter schools and public schools alike were graduating at increasingly higher rates. This is true for female/male students, as well as English language learner (ELL) students. For example, from 2016 to 2019 the graduate rate at Boynton Beach community high rose from 85.0 percent to 88.4 percent. At a more granular level, disparities in graduation rates that have existed for years have begun to diminish. Black students have historically graduated at lower rates in Palm Beach, behind Hispanic and Latino students and then White, Non -Hispanic students. Since 2015 especially, these rates have all risen and approached a more even distribution; by the 2019-20 school year, the Hispanic graduation rate increased from 79.5 percent to 87.6 percent and the Black graduation rate increased from 73.7 percent to 87.6 percent compared to the White Non -Hispanic graduation rate which increased from 90.7 percent to 94.3 percent. Over the course of the pandemic, graduation rates continued to increase but so too have dropout rates — a trend that began years before the pandemic. This is likely linked to the reduction in alternate completion methods. For example, the number of students receiving Certificates of Completion or being allowed to stay enrolled past the 4 -year mark have both declined. In previous years, these options would have provided a route to graduation whereas now these students are likely forced to drop-out. In Palm Beach County schools, the Hispanic and Black communities have historically had nearly twice the cohort drop- out rate. In the 2019-20 school year, the Hispanic cohort dropout rate climbed to 8.2 percent, nearly triple that of their white neighbors (3.4 percent). This may indicate a need for a more targeted drop- out prevention model. Currently, there are some measures in place to help curb this trend. For instance, Quantum High school serves as a drop-out prevention facility for at -risk students. However, the need for support likely extends outside of the school in the form of access to technology and computers, availability of parents and mentors, as well as the need for culturally sensitive approaches for ELL students and immigrants. 19 IG e l[iilne liiln I::::SA scoiresI:::: The pandemic has created additional challenges to IIII°1'�rllllulrm°lug IIIIII��;��°�h� IIII �'°' IIII°1�liii IIS wlIllk an already strained public education system. °°° � Distance learning, chronic attendance issues, and certainly the inability to adequately test and gauge students all played a role in making 2020 a "lost" 1::.:] 53.7% year of data.

However, there is already indication from student testing that the past couple years are likely to have undermined some pre° try �. W:' I"y " 1yln '.: °yl ' ° '°°dn �'"`� of the learning progress made over the past decade. The Florida Standardized Assessment is a benchmark test used to identify the progress made by students, specifically in Math and English Language Arts. These scores are eventually used to help decide graduation eligibility as well. Prior to the pandemic, FSA scores in Boynton for math and ELA (English Language Arts) were on the rise; since 2015 most schools had increased their passing rates in these areas, some as high as 20 percentage points. 11 schools servicing Boynton had increased their rates in math and 12 schools had increased in English language arts. However, that progress is overshadowed by the significant drops that occurred in the 2020 school year. Staggeringly, schools in Boynton experienced double digit percentage decreases in Math scores. A less significant but still concerning drop was seen in ELA scores as well. This situation has implications for graduation rates moving forward, but there is also much to be said about the preparedness of these student cohorts as they progress into the workforce .20 Relevant to this issue is the announcement earlier this year by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to abolish the FSA and replace it with a new type of assessment known as the FAST. 21 19 Florida Dept. of Education.

Black and Hispanic students as well as ELL students pass the FSA at lower rates than their White, Non -Hispanic peers - this is especially true at public institutions. During our conversations with education leaders, the discussion of proposed changes to the "concordant scoring" process shed new light on this topic. Students in Boynton Beach, if unable to achieve satisfactory scores on their FSAs, can reach graduation requirements via alternate assessments like the PSAT and EOC. Changes for upcoming school years have been proposed that would make these alternate scores more difficult to achieve by raising the threshold for a satisfactory score. Some experts made the point that more focus and attention must be given to students achieving strong scores on their FSAs, the first time around.

Moreover, it must be noted that research from the Palm Beach County School Board indicates this drop in graduation rates will be disproportionately concentrated among Hispanic, Black, and ELL students. 22 The chart below demonstrates the projected drops in graduation rates, if the changes to concordant scores are approved. 22 Palm Beach County Schools. (2021). Potential Graduation Impact Data Presentation. This issue of disadvantaged students potentially being set back even further, can be seen in other areas as well. The PSAT, for example, is an important part of any high school student's education for a several reasons; aside from potentially leading to post -secondary options, it can serve as a concordant score, and is a free way for students and .

Unfortunately, participation and aind III thincrty preparation for the PSAT are limited by other factors IB11ack ( %� like transportation (as many courses are held on weekends) and cost (as many courses, especially II Niispairiiic/% those considered high quality, tend to be quite expensive). While more current data is only accessible by those working within the county school system, the Wlh°e(1."/�' provided chart demonstrates the disparity in PSAT participation. Advanced Placement courses are another similar area. While the gaps in this area have been steadily closing, especially in South Florida school districts, White, Non -Hispanic students still have by far the highest participation and passing rate. The importance of closing this disparity is not lost on families, as many have come to understand that passing AP exams has the potential to directly translate to saved dollars once students go on to post -secondary. While not immediately obvious, attendance and discipline trends in Palm Beach (as well as other counties) also represent a kind of perpetuation of educational disparities; Black and Hispanic students represent larger proportions of the chronically absent (15 days or more per school year) as well as higher proportions of suspended students — this is especially true when looking at more severe disciplinary options like out-of-school suspensions.23 This short list of areas demonstrate some of the ways in which disadvantaged students need targeted help. Certainly, all students need to be given the resources and opportunities to succeed, but in the interest of making that success as equitable as possible, these kinds of dynamics must be part of the discussion. A major component of the discourse surrounding K-12 systems across Florida has been the need for instructional staff. Many institutions have implemented signing bonuses and other incentives to help draw the talent needed. Even so, shortages continue, and teachers are leaving the profession in concerning numbers. As it relates to Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County, this issue is more complicated than simply a matter of pay. At least when compared with other large Florida districts, Palm Beach County pays its instructional staff relatively well with average salaries around $53,000 annually. In fact, Palm Beach may be in a sort of "sweet spot" where it benefits from regional influence on size and pay without being far south enough to deal with the costs of living of Miami or even Broward. As alluded to in the economic development pillar, the difficulties in recruiting staff to the region is quite likely linked to the ongoing spike in housing costs. Recruiting out of state teachers (a very common practice) has been made incredibly difficult when no guarantee of affordable housing can be made. In the context of these challenges, a December 2021 report indicated that the Palm Beach School District is setting aside millions of dollars to recruit teachers from oversea S.24 Other districts are implementing innovative solutions that directly 23 Florida Department of Education.

Working age adults gaining new skills and certifications has quantifiable and objectively positive impact on families and the city. Foundationally, the level of educational attainment and area of focus set the stage for a wide range of economic and social indicators. Most of Boynton's population, 25 years and over, has attained their high school diploma or GED. As we move into the higher tiers of education like Associate's and Bachelor's degrees, disparities across racial and ethnic lines become apparent. This is especially true at the Graduate level, where Hispanic residents proportionally have the highest percentage of graduate degree holders, followed by White, Non -Hispanic residents, and Black residents. These tiers equate to higher earning job prospects and more opportunities, but the impacts go beyond that; for example, a correlation exists between health care coverage and higher educational attainment. This disparity is also directly linked to disparities in income and poverty. While Boynton residents are earning higher -tier degrees at varying rates, data indicates that residents are reaching the "some college" level at similar rates. This indicates that other factors are causing students from the Black and Hispanic communities to stop end their college careers early more often. Targeted support for new and returning students could help close the gaps seen in the higher levels of education. Focusing on the segment of residents having attained Bachelor's degrees, 61.7 percent first degrees were earned in the Science or Business fields.26 Education degrees make up a significantly smaller (13.5 percent) share of degrees in the city. This kind of distribution is common for cities in the region, but in the interest of diversifying industries and occupations, and creating a competitive advantage for the area to attract businesses and talent, partnership with the private sector in Boynton Beach to create apprenticeships and internships can help widen and grow workforce pipelines. While a formal education provides some hard results, the impacts of "up -skilling" and career path switching should not be understated. In fact, a 2021 report found that although workers with more education generally earn more, a good number of those without a college diploma are making more than college graduates. The research showed that 16% of high school graduates, 23% of workers with some college education, and 28% of associate's degree holders earn more than half of workers with a bachelor's degree. Other factors account for the differences, including age, field of study, occupation, gender, race and ethnicity, and location. 27 For a lot of families, especially those struggling economically, returning to school even part time can be unfeasible. As mentioned, short-term credentialing provides an alternative way to achieve quality of life improvements with minimal disruption to daily life. The city itself, as well as organizations working in the city, provide these kinds of options for residents — but awareness of these opportunities might be limited. One of the points repeatedly made by community leaders over the course of the assessment, was the connection between these kinds of small-scale efforts for adults and outcomes in the K-12 system. Many of the educational barriers that low- and middle - 26 Office of Communications, Miami -Dade Public Schools. December 10, 2021. https://news.dadeschools.net/cmnc/new/32228 26 U.S. Census Bureau.

Targeted efforts to help students, and especially minority students, reach their graduation requirements are also needed. Also, organizations like CareerSource have already been successful at helping adults further their education, but increased awareness of these services is needed. Closing the graduation gap in the K-12 system may require a host of wrap-around services be implemented by community organizations. Specifically, affordable after school programs, apprenticeship and mentorship programs, counseling, and especially services to enable digital connectivity are examples of services and resources that students need to succeed. Childcare has been identified as one of the greatest burdens placed on families during this time, and certainly school age children are not exempt from that need. Community members repeatedly mentioned the need to keep younger children supervised and active but also to keep them invested in their own education. Mentorship and apprenticeship programs achieve these goals by empowering and uplifting children as well as providing them with marketable skills. In our discussions with community members and leaders, the closing of the city's Youth Empowerment center was noted with regret, as this facility seemed to hold the potential of serving as a venue for many of the needed services.. As the pressures of pandemic learning start to wane, it will become clearer to what extent interventions like drop-out prevention measures will be necessary, but regardless, addressing disparities in education outcomes calls for some targeted efforts to help at -risk students achieve the goal of graduation. Part of this could be a more robust data collection process that would allow tutors, instructors, and counselors to better identify the needs of these students. Preparation for standardized testing may need to be restructured — especially as shortages in staff and instructors continues. Short-term measures may also be necessary to help Black, Hispanic, and ELL students achieve concordant scores to curb the projected drop in graduation rates, if the concordant thresholds are to change. Because school choice is so closely connected to economic standing, services that help disenfranchised communities send children to alternative schools (like transportation) could help provide for a more equitable, less segregated landscape. Conversely, steps should be taken to make public institutions more attractive to a wider range of residents. The aim should be to dissolve the concentration of poor and minority students in public schools and of wealthier students in charter and private schools. With many families managing with limited or no internet (about 4,000 homes completely lacked connection in 2019) and many more functioning without computers at home, an emphasis should be placed on internet infrastructure in the city, especially as digital connectivity has become invaluable in the wake of the pandemic and will likely continue to be crucial in the changing economy. Several community centers, libraries, and organizations do provide help in this area with computer labs and assisting staff. These initiatives can be boosted in capacity and expanded by providing access in public spaces. An initiative to move digital capabilities from public spaces into homes would also have profound effects on youth and adult education. IN Page 264 of 341 Ill,f o u i i g and II°°�� liim,� liimm�lii°°Illmm Iii III°�u The stability of a city's housing market often serves as a significant indicator of well-being and quality of life for residents. A lack of a sufficient supply of housing—affordable to all members of the workforce—impedes an area's ability to attract businesses and talent. It has been well-established in the research that having access to affordable and stable housing in good neighborhoods is associated with positive health, education and economic outcomes for individuals and families.28 ktOynt,n1muun IIII IlOLQ s6lhoh]ers by lileait of muu�grl„I IIIIuu�� IIMoved to 1:30ynton siiinr;e IMoved to 13oyinton since 2010 Sowace V d':°eo us 0,::Ha w,4,a ',:^iso gFbfa Because all residents will inevitably interact with the housing market, careful management of the housing supply is imperative in creating an equitable landscape for all. Failure to provide for quality, safe, affordable housing for residents across the income -spectrum will result in negative outcomes in other areas of resident life. Education for example is made difficult, especially for youth, when housing is in jeopardy or unsafe. Likewise, any growth in incomes or job prospects are also mitigated when housing becomes too expensive. Through our discussions with non-profit workers and resident focus groups it's became apparent that the issue of housing and housing are on everyone's minds. This is to say, even though many are not versed in the intricacies of the issue, most are becoming aware of the untenable levels rent, housing costs, and the affordable housing supply have reached. This should come as no surprise as cities all over the U.S. are struggling to handle their housing crises. In 2021, the City completed a Housing Assessment Study, which highlighted many of the same housing challenges and impediments. The report emphasized housing affordability challenges for renters and homeowners, the lack of housing supply pipeline, the need for redevelopment and rezoning to address supply issues and in the context of a shortage of developable land in the city. The following sections will also outline some of these issues but with a greater focus on equity and opportunity for diverse groups. 28 Brennan, Maya, Lisa Sturtevant and Patrick Reed. 2014.

It should also be noted that over 60 Owuneir occupied „m i::lente,r occupied percent of householders in Boynton Beach, moved in their homes in the past decade. Renters are highly concentrated in and around the Heart of Boynton, while owner 00 concentrations increase as one moves west NIqL and south of that area. Racial and ethnic disparities persist in relation to housing tenure. About 68 percent of White, Non- White IN01-1 31aclk cr African i Niisl.)aniic, any irate Hispanic householders own their homes. For IllispainiC Arneiricain Hispanic householders, that figure drops down to about 52 percent and for Black and African American residents, the ownership rate is just under 40 percent. As the distribution of householders shifted towards renters there has been a decrease in vacancy rates of both owner- and renter occupied housing units over the past decade. The decline in vacancy was more substantial for rented units. While homeowner vacancy rates fell from about 10 percent to 8 percent, renters saw a decline from 6 percent to just under 2 percent. This results in about 7,000 vacant homes in Boynton in 2019. Most of these units are likely used for vacation purposes by people who do not live in Boynton year-round. According to AirDNA, a company that track vacation rentals, the number of active rentals in Boynton Beach has been stable over the past three years — around 3 00. 30 Because the homeowner and -renter experiences are so different, many topics like economic mobility/stability, poverty, and quality of life correlate with a resident's tenure. II irkret Conditions Prior to the onset of the current market conditions, housing values had already been rising in Boynton Beach since the end of the 2008 recession — from 2015 to 2019, median home value in the city increased by 50.8 percent. Home values continued to climb as the market shifted, but home valuation is ultimately just a combination of self -reporting and et'iliiittum wn IIII'' ;� iirkeiP the appraisal process. Instead, analyzing current sales prices 88 IIII':'tmy:: provides more relevant insight into what is occurring In Boynton Beach's housing market. From 2019 to 2020, the 4 median sale price in Boynton Beach increased by about 18 percent. In just the first two quarters of 2021, 34.2 percent of homes sold went above their original listing price, an . .. astonishing increase from just 6.9 percent in 201631 Also, the June, 2020 June, 2021 amount of average number of days spent on market dropped by 50 percent from 2020 to 2021. As home purchase prices increased, so too has the willingness of buyers to overpay and quickly purchase. This is linked to the influx of investors and out-of-state movers coming to Boynton Beach and South Florida from all over. Many homeowners will naturally see this situation as 30 AirDNA. https://www.airdna.co/vacation-rental-data/app/us/florida/boynton-beach/overview 31 Redfin Housing data. (2021). https://www.redfin. com/us-housing-market opportune and maybe even ideal, but the reality is that these conditions will eventually lead to many Boynton Beach families being entirely priced out of the market. There is an obvious moral dilemma in that prospect, but there is also a clear danger to the city's labor force and industries in making the city unlivable for people across the income spectrum. Purchasing a home is often viewed as a foundational, wealth building endeavor for families. While many residents are earning more than they did in previous years, those gains will be basically negated for families seeking to purchase in this market. Just as home sellers are the only potential winners in a market like this, landlords are the only ones who could possibly view the state of the rental market as positive. While market rent prices have been steadily increasing since 2010, the increase seen in just the past year is unprecedented for the city of Boynton Beach. Yet, that single year increase (about 23 percent) seems rather meek when compared with neighboring, similar cities like Del Rey Beach and Boca Raton. With these kinds of rental costs, we estimate that less than 10 percent of Boynton householders could reasonably transition from renting to owning right now — this conclusion is reached by summing three years' worth of the median per capita income in the city. Assistance for these renters is available but stretched thin — housing vouchers are dispensed to capacity and waitlists for them are maxed out. Moreover, non -profits have a reported difficulty in householders using that aid as landlords reject housing vouchers. This is a market that could potentially eliminate all options for LMI families in Boynton Beach. Ii°°I110USliiing C'OS't, I11 1 irdelin Housing affordability is a function of housing costs and income. The Department of Housing and Urban Development describes households that spend 30% or more of their monthly income on housing costs, as cost burdened. 32 Homes spending 50% or more, are considered to be severely cost burdened. Over 12,000 households in Boynton (41% of all households) fall into these categories.33 This cannot be overlooked when discussing other economic indicators and factors. For renters, about 57% of households are cost burdened and 32% are severely cost burdened .34 Recalling the fact that most Black residents in Boynton rent their homes, we can conclude that Black residents in Boynton are much more likely to be spending unsustainable amounts on their rent — thus calling into question the progress made in other areas. Even owning the household does not completely spare families from this issue.

Historically, these figures have not approached this level and certainly the amount of "severely cost burdened" households did not previously outnumber "cost burdened" homes. While homeowners are also struggling to deal with housing costs, homeownership still remains the goal for many families. In fact, purchasing a home has historically been the preferred method of wealth building for Black and African American populations across the U.S. At every income quartile, Black Americas own less high-risk, high -yield assets instead preferring the reliability in this traditional option.35 While much research has been conducted debating the efficacy of that practice, it should still remain the goal of the city to help families achieve homeownership should they seek it. In 2019, families in Boynton sought out hundreds of home purchase loans across a wide range of prices; ultimately, any family can find itself needing assistance in this important step.36 But despite a widespread need for assistance, banks in the area approve purchase loans to different families at different rates. Specifically, Black and Hispanic families are denied these loans at higher rates than their White neighbors; this kind of disparity is widely seen in cities across the nation. While 114IIbnne IIII'IItuiir phase Illl...4))ain III I':)eriiuliiWll IIII"' �t�lii;w working directly with families to clear this hurdle can certainly be beneficial, this issue will likely require a policy311111A 3, ;% change or initiative.

American %11),`1 l cndwy,:d� l ah, Ff d" -lousing Oala Affordable Ili°lousing Clearly, a central theme to the housing pillar has been affordability. Both purchasing and renting seem to be problematic for the average family in Boynton. Any attempts to solve this issue will first have to contend with the lack of an effective affordable housing pipeline. In our stakeholder meetings, various organizations and agencies working in the city insisted that municipal intervention is needed to develop that pipeline. The reality is that affordable housing has become scarce and difficult to attain, and addressing this issue requires significant political will, leadership and resources. One prime example of this particular challenge of building affordable, workforce housing, is the way in which new developments fail to provide for that pipeline. Several experts have noted that while real estate development continues (with many units currently in the pipeline) almost none of it will be accessible to those in need, not only at the lowest income levels, but those with middle -range incomes. Also, organizations tasked with acquiring land and units are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with developers and investors who are snatching up every parcel they can — often simply to hold for speculation. Stakeholder participants also noted that a lack of coordination between agencies has muddied the waters, making it difficult to achieve the goal of providing 36 Social Security Office of Policy.

Renovation of older homes for the affordable housing pool, which accounts for a lot of the work done by organizations, is also an issue as appraisal values continue to go up. Some homes end up being valued too highly for LMI families to own after the work is done. Without the authority of the city and some creative strategies, there is little that organizations can do to combat these phenomena. 1:1ecoirnirnendatlioir, s I w°it4l III °mw llllii r° iii me Apartm r hurts, 2020 M 0 1,,, ,, : We recommend that the city implement measures to close the ownership gap and provide more direct rental assistance to families in need. Forms of rental control or influence may be necessary given the rise in costs. Efforts to grow the pool of affordable housing should also be boosted like refurbishment programs and even land trusts or banks. Understanding that disparities in ownership and cost burden will translate into a variety of other inequities. Targeted programs should be deployed to help Black and Hispanic families on their path to homeownership. In the interest of creating an equitable economy, closing the ownership gap should be placed high on the list of priorities. It is imperative however, that families be educated and trained in the rigors and difficulties of owning a home — some agencies have reported families struggling to manage their homes and new costs after shifting from renter to owner. Lending practices may need to be influenced to enable this change. Some experts have recommended that new, community-based lenders be created and bolstered to provide funding streams for these disenfranchised communities. Addressing housing concerns in Boynton will also require that the topic of cost -burden be attached to all other discussions of earnings, poverty, etc. It often goes unsaid that while families may be in a home, there is a high likelihood that they are struggling to manage it. While the city' has limited ability to managerially affect the housing market, some direct influence may be necessary to help protect residents. For homeowners, proliferation of Homestead Exemptions, for example, can help occupants currently owning homes avoid being forced out by the rise in values. Rent controls of varying types are also gaining traction across the state; notably the city councils of Tampa and St. Petersburg have begun talks on implementing such measures— acknowledging the untenable state of rent costs is imperative in providing for equitable housing. Also, similar to the commercial spaces, negotiating leases and rent increases may be within the city's purview. In the long-term, a pipeline of affordable housing should be developed. This could mean things like requiring that new developments dedicate a certain percentage of units to this pipeline. Experts have noted that it will be necessary to demonstrate that affordable housing does not necessarily mean lack of profits; further analysis may be needed to help eliminate the conflict between funding and new affordable housing construction. Another method of providing for this pipeline can be the targeted renovation of older homes (of which there is a significant pool in Boynton Beach). A historically successful option that has risen in popularity recently would be the establishment of a community land trust or bank. These are highly customizable entities, through which the city would be able to acquire new units and land (something that is proving to be nearly impossible for 11) Page 270 of 341 others, at the moment), transfer it to the land trust and manage it in perpetuity. This would provide for a type of public ownership of land with restricted resales — such that these homes would remain available to people who need them for many years to come. It's important to understand that these non-profit entities are still capable of generating capital for homeowners and can be modified to meet the needs of the given municipality. These types of initiatives have been successful in the past and are showing success in many cities today like Boston, Durham, and Anchorage — where similar market conditions are being seen. 37 The 2021 Housing Needs Assessment Study of Boynton Beach zoomed in on the same challenges and came to similar conclusions related to the need to increasing the affordable housing supply. More specifically, the study recommendations included the approval of ADUs within the City's development jurisdictions, the redevelopment of targeted commercial parcels, providing developer incentives related to affordable housing, and the establishment of a housing trust fund .311 The more detailed recommendations of that study are in line with the Community Needs Assessment and if implemented with an equity lens, can reduce existing disparities. 37 Coonerty R.

Housing Assessment Study — City of Boynton Beach. iiirlii iir m lii iii mdlll Justice aind Safety The confluence of multiple factors that contribute to disparities across communities have been well documented in research and media coverage. While the tragic killings of three unarmed African Americans - Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor - precipitated the resurgence of the debate and the drive to find solutions, inequality has been a long-standing challenge in American history and society. Whether our current public safety policies are a less explicit but equally destructive form of racism is one of the most important questions of policy, conscience and community that we face today. In a Pulitzer -nominated book, criminologist Elliott Currie points to three root causes of the violence that afflicts Black America: "economic dispensability of poor Americans of all races in an increasingly heedless global economy"; the lack of political influence in Black communities that "suffer violence the most"; and "the spread of a punitive and austere culture" that misallocates resources. 39 The data presented in this section focuses on the results of these policies and confirms the demonstrable effects of enduring legacies that either neglect or purposefully exclude and marginalize Black Americans. Cirliiilm III°tatea In 2020, the city's crime rate of 2,952 crimes per 100,000 population was 28.4 percent higher than Palm Beach County overall. There are several other cities with higher crime rates, including Delray Beach (4,188 rate), West Palm Beach (4,046 rate), and Lake Worth (4,273 rate). Boynton Beach ranks 13th in crime rate among cities in Palm Beach County. Crime rates in Boynton Beach vary across neighborhoods, with higher rates in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. The over -representation of some racial minorities in the criminal justice system can in part be explained by socioeconomic factors, such as poverty, exposure to poor neighborhoods, poor access to public education, poor access to early childhood education and other conditions. Consistent with national findings, black Americans in Boynton Beach are over -represented in arrests for virtually all types of crime, with the exceptions of "driving under the influence". In 2020, Black offenders accounted for almost 65 percent of the 535 arrests made by the Boynton Beach Police Department. This is a significant increase from 2010 when 48 percent of arrested offenders were Black. The overrepresentation is significant, as only 31 percent of city residents identified themselves as Black in the 2020 U.S. Census. In comparison, Black offenders 39 Currie, Elliott. 2020 A Peculiar Indifference: The Neglected Toll of Violence on Black America. 40 Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The use of zoning laws, racial restrictive covenants, and redlining, white flight and urban renewal initiatives delegated Black city residents to neighborhoods that were overlooked and underserved by local governments, financial institutions, and private developers. Meanwhile, federal policy incentivized homeownership for white families in areas that saw ongoing public and private investments. Race and poverty have been consistently shown to intersect with the criminal justice system. A 2015 report of the Washington -based Institute for Policy Studies noted the "criminalization of poverty", as "poor people, especially people of color, face a far greater risk of being fined, arrested, and even incarcerated for minor offenses than other Americans. 1143 While poverty alleviation is often mentioned as one of the strategies to reduce crime, research has also shown that economic conditions alone cannot account for disparities. A 2016 analysis showed that while higher levels of wealth were associated with lower rates of incarceration, the likelihood of future incarceration still was higher for blacks than for whites at every level of wealth.44 Indeed, the racial and ethnic makeup of U.S. prisons continues to look substantially different from the demographics of the country as a whole. From 2008 to 2018, the imprisonment rate dropped 28% among blacks, 21% among Hispanics, and 13% among whites. However, in 2018, black Americans represented 33% of the sentenced prison population, nearly triple their 12% share of the U.S. adult population .41 4' Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

For the 2020-2021 fiscal year, the Boynton Beach Police Department reported 87 juvenile arrests, down 53 percent from 2016-2017. The decrease in Palm Beach County was 51 percent. 46 In 2020-21, 59 youth accounted for the 87 arrests, indicating some youth were repeat offenders. Approximately half the arrests (44) were felony offenses, including burglary, auto theft, aggravated assault and others. Three out of four juvenile delinquents are typically male and the majority are Black.

As of July 8, 2021, a civil citation, or similar prearrest diversion program, exists in all 67 Florida counties. Civil citation or similar prearrest diversion is a mechanism for first time youth offenders to enter a structured community diversion program with no arrest record upon successful completion.47 If the youth is issued an alternative to arrest, they are diverted to receive services that address identified risk factors, with services including family counseling, drug screening, substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment and others. Widespread use of civil citation and prearrest diversion programs has a positive effect on the criminal justice system and contributes to an overall reduction of the crime rate and recidivism in Florida. In Fiscal Year 2019- 2020, the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice reported that the overall recidivism rate for youth completing the civil citation process was 4 percent - the lowest recidivism rate of any program type monitored by the Department .41 Diversion programs focus on ameliorating the risk factors associated with youth delinquency. A 2009 study of 481 Black and White boys who were followed from childhood to early adulthood found that a higher incidence of early risk factors accounted for racial differences related to any juvenile 46 Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.

The risk factors span across individual, family, school, peer group and community domains, ranging from medical and physical problems, hyperactivity, low socioeconomic status, broken families, childhood abuse, weak socialization and many others. 50 The use of the civil citation alternative has expanded across the state and in Boynton Beach. The Boynton Beach Police Department first started issuing civil citations in FY 2014-15, when 11 percent of eligible youth received a civil citation. The percentage of youth receiving a civil citation almost tripled by 2020-21, although there was a decline from the previous year. It was in FY 2019- 2020 when there were fewer yout arrested than youth ssued an alternative. In recognition of the need to address the risk factors affecting youth delinquency and work on solutions that prevent youth from coming in contact with the criminal justice system, a public health model to juvenile delinquency has emerged in recent years. As one researcher aptly observed, "entry into the juvenile justice system is the culmination of a range of risks, the failure of prevention efforts, and the absence of viable, community-based alternatives. 1151 The public health approach has two components. The first is a focus on crime prevention that uses early childhood intervention programs and other preventive measures to address the roots of crime and other childhood and family problems. The second is a criminal justice policy that involves sentencing defendants and treating prisoners in a manner more likely to rehabilitate offenders and reduce their repeat offending, i.e. diversion programs. The recommendations in relation to addressing the challenge of juvenile delinquency at the end of this section are based on the adoption and expanded application of policies and initiatives that incorporate the public health model components. 1:)611Iii Bilin The Black African American community is divided in their attitudes towards the police. Tracking polls have found consistently low confidence in the police from Black respondents. Following the George Floyd killing, Black Americans' confidence in the police dipped to 18% in 2020. In 2021, 27% of Black adults in the U.S. indicated "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the police, similar to the levels seen between 2014 and 2019.52 Drivers of crime are complex and members of communities with high crime rates may feel trapped between violence and law enforcement. While crime rates might be the highest in the most economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, which also have a high concentration of Black residents, distrust of the police may further decrease community safety. In our focus group, we heard some residents would like to see greater police presence in their neighborhoods, while others directly stated they want the police to "leave them alone". These comments are heard across communities all over the country and the different perceptions of the role and need for policing are dependent on the particular experiences of 49 Fite, P.

What influences these views is also the level of trust residents have in law enforcement with regards to their fairness and ability to prevent violence, protect lives and property, particularly in minority communities. Crime is geographically concentrated in particular neighborhoods and in more localized areas known as hot spots, which provides opportunities for targeted interventions both for juvenile and adult offenders. For example, in 2020-2021, the largest concentration of juvenile offenders in Boynton Beach was in zip code 33435, with the 77 juvenile arrests in that zip code accounting for two-thirds of the arrests in the three Boynton Beach Youth Arrests by Zip Code, 2020-21 Boynton Beach zip codes. evidence % Arrested Black suggests that problem -oriented policing of Zip Code Count Black Youth Population % hot spots can be effective.

As mentioned in other sections of this report, economic and educational disparities are major contributing factors. Previous sections showed higher poverty rates and lower educational attainment levels for Black and African American residents of Boynton Beach. Another contributing factor is family structure. According to 2019 American Community Survey estimates, 40 percent of children in Boynton Beach live in single -parent families. A small majority (51.3 percent) of Black households with children under 18 are single -parent gut fftff�(l11 Kr(rl((r0� households, compared to 32.5% of White, non -Hispanic and p p Biu nu nu mu mss mss m�t,ii u i 42.4% of Hispanic households. These statistics point to the �I��Il�lllollul Illlljl��, �� 4 ti� �»ll II opportunity of structuring interventions that are geographically focused, including Initiatives that are culturally sensitive and focused on appropriate interventions for the observe contexts. Interventions can also be developed or enhanced for adult offenders. An example of one such program, implemented in Oakland, CA, called Operation Ceasefire, draws on data to identify people who are at the highest risk of shooting someone or being shot themselves. At a meeting with police and community members, known as a call-in, the recruits are told they'll be punished if they keep engaging in violence. But they're also offered access to housing, jobs, medical care, and life coaches, plus a monthly stipend if they accomplish goals like signing up for health insurance, opening a savings account, and staying in touch with probation officers. 53 While initially the program focused on putting more police on the streets, the focused shifted in recognition of the fact that many men at the highest risk of this violence—often members of gangs, with a history of shooting or being shot—are also the most isolated from social services, or the most resistant to them. In 2013, at the behest of pastors and other residents, the city rolled out Ceasefire for a third time, but with a twist: The program would scale back its emphasis on law enforcement and focus, through life coaching, on helping participants develop positive relationships with mentors who grew up in similar neighborhoods as they had.

II° e ul° urneurnd tIii iin _. C611i M Investing in communities caught in cycles of crime, decay, and disinvestment can help reduce crime rates. 14 Research on social ties and institutions suggests that strong community organizations and leadership can make a difference. Investments that increase inclusion and support education, skills, and access to jobs may be necessary to address the concentrated disadvantage at the root of violent crime in neighborhoods. Housing programs may avoid reconcentrating poverty in disadvantaged areas and crossing thresholds linked to increases in violent crime. In general, policies that reduce economic, racial, and ethnic segregation can increase communities' access to key resources to prevent violent crime and promote healthy development." Strategy: Community-based services as a strategy for improving public safety. Crime prevention and reduction and community safety are linked to broader issues of community development. Efforts that create decent -paying jobs for the poor, enhance their vocational and educational opportunities, and improve their neighborhood living conditions should all help reduce poverty and its attendant problems and thus to reduce crime; Housing stability is also important. With the understanding of the factors that contribute to crime, channeling public safety funding to community actors outside the traditional justice system can be a viable strategy.

Strategy: Address behavioral needs of youth before or at first contact with the juvenile justice system and helping them overcome that behavior enhances public safety. Evidence shows that after-school programs reduce crime but programs need to be rooted in a deep understanding of the community and the limitations of programs. Sometimes after-school programs are not feasible for students, for example, if they have to work an after-school job. Transportation might be another obstacle to program participation. The point is that when we examine community needs and gaps of programs we need to do it with an equity lens and understanding the barriers of various groups. In addition to programs for school -aged children, addressing the risk factors that contribute to crime also required wraparound family support, mental health and substance abuse services outside of school and after school hours. Strategy: Community engagement in safety and community policing, which denotes the building of relationships between police and the community through consistent presence of recognizable officers and their interaction with the community. To address some of the challenges and mistrust, police -led community-based approaches for violence reduction include strategies that aim to mobilize communities to participate in the crime control process. Community -oriented policing strategies focus on community involvement in the definition of problems and responses in the community, decentralization of police agencies, and a focus on problem -solving oriented strategies. There is evidence that community -oriented policing has a positive impact on community perceptions of law enforcement and police -community relations. Some example of community -oriented policing include programs that introduce police to school-age children and reduce fear and distrust. Other practices that reduce the risk of misconduct and improve trust include review of officer body camera footage, monitoring and analysis of use of force, and providing training for law enforcement officials that improve their understanding of the communities they serve. IN" Page 278 of 341 III°°lea lllltlh air°e Access airmd IIII°°Illealllltllh Ouitcornes COVID-19 exacerbated existing health and economic wealth gaps. Local governments and community stakeholders are challenged with identifying revitalization strategies to address barriers to economic mobility with increased attention placed on the intersection of gender, race, health and poverty. The Boynton Beach Equity Initiative's focus on community-based solutions will allow the city to recover from the pandemic and its economic effects, while shifting priorities to place equity front and center in recovery efforts. In this context, it is crucial to recognize the linkages between economic conditions, health and other areas related to community resilience. Healthcare practitioners concur that nonmedical social needs, or social determinants of health (SDOH), defined by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) as the conditions under which people are born, grow, live, work, and age, have a large influence on an individual's health outcomes. AAFP acknowledges that "for the medical community to have a significant and lasting impact on the health of their patients and communities, it must address the needs of patients outside the clinic walls". 16 Factors that strongly influence health outcomes include access to medical care, nutritious foods, clean water, education and health literacy, ethnicity and cultural orientation, gender, housing and transportation, exposure to violence, neighborhood safety and recreational facilities, occupation and job security, socioeconomic status, and spiritual/religious values. Health outcomes are heavily influenced by socioeconomic factors such as housing security and economic stability, or lack thereof. For example, economic instability can lead an individual to make poor health decisions, such as skipping regular health check-ups or opting out of health insurance coverage, because they need to use the money to pay their rent. Neighborhood -level indicators speak to the different needs of residents from different racial groups and socioeconomic backgrounds. The rate of Black residents without health insurance coverage (30%) is almost double the rate of White, non -Hispanic residents (17 percent). The City's census tracts with the largest number of Black residents, have the lowest overall life expectancy - 77 years, below the 81 years average. 67 Poverty in these census tracts is almost triple the city's 9.3 percent rate. There are also variations across other metrics influencing health outcomes - education, housing costs and incomes. Geography, race and ethnicity, and various social determinants intersect to influence educational and economic opportunities, health outcomes and other community indicators. Since health inequities mirror inequities in the material conditions and social and political structures within societies, that is, in the social determinants of health, addressing these inequities in health requires joint action by multiple stakeholders and policies that have an influence on the diverse and often complex decision-making processes within these structures. This section outlines some of the most pressing needs of Boynton Beach residents with an equity lens, which will serve as the foundation for the city and its partners to work collaboratively towards solutions. 11 Ilealltlh Illinsuirairm e Health insurance is a fundamental safety net that protects individuals and families and ensures better health outcomes. According to the American Health Association, "health insurance facilitates access to care and is associated with lower death rates, better health outcomes, and 16 American Academy of Family Physicians. 2019.

Most Boynton Beach residents are covered by at least one type of health insurance, either employer -based, public, or private. The number of uninsured residents has decreased over the past decade — 84.7 percent of residents had health insurance in 2019, up from 78.2 percent in 2013. Health insurance rates for Black and Hispanic residents are about 9 percentage points lower than that of white residents. The age group with the most even distribution ofI rt ent WI'°lesideiiits wliiap Illh°°Illlettltlp Illlllluuwlllr�lll°me health insurance coverage across racial groups is white, Iron Hispanic the younger population, aged 18 or younger.

However, we over begin to see health insurance coverage less evenly distributed across race. The Black elderly population of Boynton Beach has the lowest rates of coverage in this age group, 88 percent, compared to the 99.6 percent of the White elderly population. The Hispanic population falls in between with 91 percent covered by health insurance. Perhaps the biggest difference in health insurance coverage is observed in the remaining age group, 19-64. 77 percent of Black residents and 73 percent of Hispanic residents are covered by health insurance, compared to 84.1 percent of White residents. The 19-64 age group is also the working -age population and lack of health insurance in this age group is indicative of the lack healthcare benefits through employers, or younger residents opting out of insurance coverage by choice. Research from the economic development equity pillar demonstrates that retail, service, and accommodation and food services are among the top employing industries in Boynton Beach — sectors in which Black and Hispanic residents are heavily concentrated. Workers in these sectors often find themselves without employer -based benefits because employers do not offer them. On the other hand, White, non -Hispanic residents dominate the sales and office occupations and management and business sectors. Industries that require skilled workers offer better employer benefits, including healthcare benefits. Healthcare affordability is a theme that was brought up during one of the two focus groups held. Residents are aware of the health and economic constraints that come with lack of coverage. During one of our focus groups, a point was made that healthcare would be attainable if more jobs offered benefits and affordable plans. More specifically, 50 percent of participants agreed that healthcare affordability presented the biggest challenge to public health. Healthcare affordability is a broad umbrella, and under it exist high premium costs, cost of care, and medical debt. There is a misconception that people without health insurance are young and healthy and choose to forego health insurance coverage, but that is simply not true59. Cost remains the leading reason for high 58 American Hospital Association.

Ih:t:tps L/"rn www:_cnns::. /CCIIIIO/ResourceslFillesladul l—c—hilld_factn sheet Page 280 of 341 rates of uninsured residents. Lack of health insurance creates a dangerous pattern where uninsured residents are much more likely to forego needed care, receive fewer preventive services, and are less likely to have regular care for chronic condition S.60 On that same note, when uninsured individuals need medical care, the cost is much more than they can afford. Alternatives to private health insurance such as Medicare and Medicaid are cumbersome to healthcare billing and processing, and difficult to understand for those applying for it. Another point made regarding healthcare affordability referred to the cost and how people had to consider choosing healthcare or treatment over other expenses. When there are no resources, money, or time, Boynton residents choose to forego health insurance altogether because it becomes a luxury they cannot afford. Finally, special attention should be drawn to healthcare literacy. I1.1isease 131lre allle;ince When low-income families prioritize other expenses, whether by choice or because of essential needs, such as monthly rent, over a monthly health insurance premium, it means they choose to opt out of preventive services such as routine health screenings and check-ups, where chronic diseases can be detected and eliminated before they become life-threatening conditions. Disparities in healthcare coverage also has negative outcomes in terms of diseases occurrence and death. While data for cities and neighborhoods is not available, county -wide statistics provide insight into some of the health-related challenges of Boynton Beach residents from diverse groups. Over the last decade, the leading causes of death in Palm Beach have remained the same. Heart disease, cancer, and stroke have disproportionately and consistently affected Black residents more than any other racial and ethnic group. 61 As a community, African Americans have higher rates of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and „p',',:;II Illl gl)IIC�°II �llll m Illl w 111 eh IIL...ea6iiling Ctti:res of rmf:h,,, diabetes, which are four major risk factors forAn,°:Ij.rfe:i IIII':)eth IIII'°'mr?fe Iper :":": heart disease.62 The risk of these diseases can be ", White, INon 11 fispanic greatly reduced by a combination of affordable im Black or Afirir am Airrrnericarn and accessible preventive services and making II Nislparnic or I1...atirno healthier lifestyle choices.

Left unmanaged, chronic disease can lead to expensive and disabling health complications. Cost is a leading factor for high rates of uninsured residents, but it is important to note that regardless of coverage, Black and Hispanic residents typically do not trust physician S.64 This can be attributed to lack of representation in the medical field, so patients do not feel comfortable that doctors of other races understand their needs as well as a doctor of their same race would. Lack of representation leads to cultural barriers between patients and physicians. On the other hand, minority patients report instances where they are treated differently, more formally acknowledged as implicit biases from healthcare providers.65 To better explain, the term "implicit bias" refers to the unconscious attitudes we have towards people, or the stereotypes associated with people. These unconscious thoughts and perceptions in favor of or against certain groups of people can lead medical professionals to draw certain conclusions without being consciously aware of it. For example, in 2019, an article published in the AHA/ASA Journals found that in one Boston hospital, Black and Hispanic patients arriving to the emergency room experiencing cardiac symptoms were less likely than white patients with the same symptoms and medical history to be admitted to the cardiology unit. 66 When this implicit bias is experienced time and time again, it generates long-term mistrust between physicians and patients and creates a harmful dynamic that manifests itself in poor health outcomes for minorities, especially for black residents. When we take a step back and look at the larger picture, we see how external factors and socioeconomic factors play a direct role in health outcomes for distressed populations. Disease I131re eIntliioln Cost -burdened renters are concentrated in the Heart of Boynton area — an area that can be described as a "food desert", in which people have limited access to a variety of healthy and affordable food. 67 One topic that community members addressed was access to healthy foods. From our research in Boynton's demographics, we know that the low-income areas are inhabited by primarily Black and Hispanic populations, and these low-income areas lack healthy food options. According to the USDA Food Access Atlas, Boynton Beach has three census tracts (displayed in the map to the right), including the Heart of Boynton area, which are considered low access tracts.68 Data takes into account availability of transportation, economic factors, SNAP recipient numbers, and supermarket locations in that class. In urban areas such as Boynton Beach, supermarkets are considered accessible if they are within a one -mile radius. Research has shown that residents in 64 Berger, M. W.

Low-income census tracts with a significant share of residents is more than 1 mile from the nearest supermarket. Childhood experiences affect family health in adulthood1 in the expected direction.

Community members and p community leaders highlighted the need to approach`" health in a holistic manner, shifting the mindset from healthcare to wellness, especially at a young age. f � Through healthy foods comes understanding, and this understanding will encourage and influence healthy habits in children. Non -profits and organizations such as Feeding South Florida are in an elevated position to create partnerships with corporations and other non -profits to provide affordable and healthy foods to vulnerable residents and wrap-around services. The current 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that people needing 2,000 calories per day include 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 cups of vegetables in their daily diets. USDA food consumption surveys find that the average American falls far short—consuming only 0.9 cups of fruit and 1.4 cups of vegetables per day.70 In 2019, in Palm Beach County, 45.9% of adults consumed two or more servings of vegetables per day. 71 Most Palm Beach residents do not meet the recommended servings. However, providing fresh fruits and vegetables to distressed communities is not enough. A culturally sensitive approach is needed for early intervention, so children have context and understanding of the importance of health and wellness. The idea is that over time, incorporating culturally sensitive foods, attitudes, and values into health education programming will reduce overall healthcare disparities. This is a perfect example of one of the ways we can create the bridge to shift attitudes from healthcare to wellness and communities will learn to correct behaviors to prevent lifelong chronic diseases. According to the World Health Organization, health is defined as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." 72 When communities are aware of the impact their lifestyle choices have on their health and when they are equipped with access to the right resources, they thrive. Learning healthy habits early in life creates a pattern of long-term wellness and through wellness, chronic and deadly diseases can be managed. This is especially important for minorities, who are greatly impacted by heart disease, cancer, and strokes. 69 Daines, C.L., Hansen, D., Novilla, M.L.B. et al.

In Palm Beach County, White Non -Hispanic mothers are more likely to give birth with adequate prenatal care, meaning they met 80-100% of their expected healthcare visits. Hispanic mothers consistently have the lowest rates of adequate prenatal care, 65.2 percent, followed by Black mothers, 67.5 percent. Inadequate prenatal care and health outcomes can be explained by a number of factors, including lack of health insurance, low income, housing instability, and poor housing conditions. In the analysis of economic data, we found that Black and Hispanic Boynton residents earn significantly less than White Boynton residents and are heavily concentrated in occupational sectors that typically do not offer healthcare benefits. Furthermore, the health insurance coverage data shows that minorities, specifically Black and Hispanic residents, are less likely to have health insurance or seek healthcare in general. In relation to housing, White, Non -Hispanic households in Boynton Beach have a much higher rate of homeownership than Black and Hispanic residents. Black resident households are the only group to currently have a higher proportion of renters than homeowners. These issues are relevant to families and expecting mothers who worry about basic living expenses like rent, transportation, and utilities rather their next check-up. Mothers who receive inadequate prenatal care are more likely to birth babies with a low birth weight and are more likely to die from pregnancy -related complications.73 Mothers who receive adequate prenatal care give birth to babies within a healthy weight range. Birthweights are a strong indicator of an infant's health and survival. Low birthweight can cause serious health problems for some babies and can lead to serious health conditions later in life, such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. 74 Over the past decade, Black mothers consistently have the highest rates of live births under 2500 grams, followed by Hispanic mothers. In 2019, the rate of low birthweights for Black mothers, 13.9 percent, more than doubled that of Hispanic mothers, 6.9 percent, and White, Non -Hispanic mothers, 6.7 percent. A contributing factor to low birth weights is the age in which women become pregnant. Babies born to teen mothers, women between the ages of 15-19, may be at a greater risk for pre -term delivery and low birth weight. It is important to note that teens are less likely to seek prenatal care, which often leads to long-term developmental problems for the baby. Black and Hispanic mothers do not receive proper prenatal care, and teen pregnancies may be contributing to those rates. In Palm Beach County, births to mothers between 15-19 years of age have steadily decreased. Black (19.8 per 1,000 females) and Hispanic (27.8 per 1,000 females) teens continue to lead in I°1ate a°IIC' III';Il,liiillu i , wliii�h r :) . u�' � t��il �lillllJ��il 1111 raa1:a Care by III1a e ain IIIIIIIIII` Ill ul liii y,,, III"Iafinii IIIIIle1 °:min Ceuinty Whine Noin I Niispaniic IN Il3llaclk car African ArTieriica n 2010 2W5 2.CD 1 o!'vf a �::Iof i r dmepwlyru,:W NAV � Il a h Rw eu mud 73 Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistic.

Socioeconomic factors, such as low family income levels and low levels of educational attainment, contribute to higher rates of teen pregnancies. These socioeconomic factors are generally linked to Black and Hispanic communities. Early pregnancy can have deleterious effects later in life in terms. Teens who become pregnant are more likely to drop out of school and be unemployed, which diminishes their economic mobility prospects. An early and unplanned pregnancy could be "an off -ramp from upward mobility" .71 We can tie adequate prenatal care, healthy birthweight, and the age which a mother gives birth to infant mortality rates. Infant mortality rates reflect the quality of health care available to expecting mothers as well as the health and overall well-being of the community. The disparity in infant mortality in Palm Beach County is most apparent between Black mothers (7.8 per 1,000 births) and White mothers (3.2 percent per 1,000 birth s)76. Although infant mortality has generally decreased over the past decade, Black mothers continue to have double the rate of infant mortality. So, whether an expecting mother receives adequate prenatal care for their child becomes a byproduct of having a steady stream of income, housing stability, proper nutrition, and proper living conditions. When these basic needs are met before and after children are born, diseases can be managed. Proper care is crucial to develop the next generation of Boynton residents. Ml IIn to 1l I 111ealthi An issue that resurfaced often during health discussions was mental health and the need for expanded access to mental health services. In addition to physical health outcomes, we must consider access to mental health and mental health outcomes, which are important factors that determine quality of life. Stressors such as job loss and unemployment, financial instability, and traumatic life events have a direct impact on mental health. For example, in relation to income, Palm Beach residents who make $25,000 or less annually are more likely to be diagnosed with a depressive disorder. 77 Fortunately, there is heightened awareness of the need for mental health needs and services, but the question remains — how can we bridge the gap between medical health and mental health? In Palm Beach, from 2016 to 2019, the number of mental health professionals increased by 12 percent yet services remain inaccessible to low-income residents and those without health insurance. Additionally, the negative stigma tied to seeking mental health is one of the leading risk factors to poor mental health outcomes. Reducing the stigma is especially important for males, whose suicide rates nearly triple that of women, and minorities, who experience poorer mental health outcomes. Although women are more likely to suffer from depression and more likely to attempt suicide, the male suicidal rate is much higher than that of women. Suicide rates for men nearly triple that of women, from 6.8 per 100,000 in women to 21.5 per 100,000 in men in 2019.78 Over the last decade, this trend has remained mostly the same. Perhaps one of the clearest risk factors is communication, or lack thereof. Men are constantly encouraged to remain "strong", to repress any feelings of weakness, and to push through tough times. It turns into a larger problem 76 Petrelli, Michael. (2015) Early and unplanned pregnancy: An off -ramp from upward mobility. Thomas Fordham Institute. Ihttps:l/fordlhaiminstitute.org,/na:tion ll.�cornnnerrtary arlly.:::aril:::run.piarin ceN.:::piregnancy ramp upward rnabillity 76 Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistic (haps.www fllhealhthchaas.org 77 Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistic..)hit:t.ps1/www.FlllhealhInclharts.org 78Ibid. when men refuse to seek help and decide to "self -medicate" by turning to substance and alcohol abuse. During one of our focus groups, 50 percent of participants agreed that mental health was the biggest challenge to public health. Some participants made comments about the abundance of mental health services available in schools. Additionally, we should note that mental health is especially important in the LGBTQ+ population, yet there is limited data on the specific needs of this community. More recently, in the wake of the pandemic, people have become more isolated and may experience more feelings of distress and loneliness. Job loss and housing instability are risk factors for poor mental health outcomes and the pandemic fueled this existing problem. f.Ico it -r) u,- eii,-i d a t li ou„� s The city and community organizations can advocate with employers to offer healthcare benefits and affordable plans, as well as workforce upskilling to match skills demand for higher wage positions. Increasing access to wrap-around services and food security, in conjunction with increasing awareness of racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare, can have a profound, long- lasting impact in underserved communities. Raising awareness of the importance of mental health will normalize the topic of seeking mental help and help to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health struggles. Florida is one of the 12 states that has a Medicaid coverage gap because the state has rejected federal funding to expand Medicaid. As a result, households with income below the poverty level are not automatically eligible for Medicaid. To counteract this fact, employers could offer healthcare benefits along with affordable plans. Additionally, increasing awareness of options available in the health insurance marketplace can help reduce the lack of coverage in low-income households. Health and wellness can be improved through a culturally sensitive approach. Through wrap- around services and early intervention, children will understand the importance of health and wellness. Place -making through community and urban gardens will not only create a safe space for community members of all ages to share experiences, but it will reinforce healthy habits learned in school and practiced at-home. Support for local and regional organizations such as Feeding South Florida that provide affordable and healthy foods, and other organizations that provide education to vulnerable residents will encourage and influence healthy habits. Finally, in the effort to improve overall well-being, the community needs to also recognize and incorporate mental health as an important tenet. Access to mental health and mental health outcomes are important factors that determine quality of life. Economic instability and other stressors have a direct impact on mental health. Reducing the stigma is especially important for males, whose suicide rates nearly triple that of women, and minorities, who experience poorer mental health outcomes. The city can support and partner with local organizations and community leaders who are working in this space to augment their efforts. Page 286 of 341 Illi' Illi' ' iiia lii I::' ; Group Details Introduction: On September 18 and September 22, 2021, the research team facilitated two focus groups with Boynton Beach residents. The discussion was designed to gather information from residents on the city's current challenges and possible solutions across the five equity pillars: economic development, education, housing public health, and criminal justice and safety. In conjunction with administrative data presented in the CAN, the resident feedback was used to paint a more complete picture of resident experiences, and develop findings and recommended action items. Demographics: Occupation Length of time in city A total of 11 community Participant 1 Healthcare worker 20+ years members participated in Participant 2 Recruiter undisclosed the two focus groups. Participants have lived in Participant 3 I Retired 15+ years Boynton for more than 10 Participant 4 I Retired 21 years years, and some up have Participant 5 Educator 10+ years been lifelong residents. Participant 6 I County government worker 20 years Participant 7 I Community advocate 10+ years Participant 8 I Nurse 40+ years Participant 9 I Community advocate Lifelong resident Participant 10 I Social care worker 10+ years Participant 11 I Episcopal priest 10 years Methodolo To allow for participants of diverse professional backgrounds to participate, the focus groups occurred outside regular business hours, from 6:30 pm — 8:OOpm and on a Saturday morning, from 11:00 am — 1:00 pm. To recruit volunteers for the focus group, the City of Boynton Beach reached out to their stakeholders across different focus areas — economic development, housing, education, criminal justice, and health — and asked them to identify community leaders and residents who are familiar with the city. Research staff reached out to all potential participants through a combination of phone calls and emails. An electronic flyer was created and distributed via email to all potential participants. Participation in the focus groups was voluntary and participants were advised at the beginning of each session that their responses would remain anonymous. Deception was not used at any point and the moderators disclosed the purpose of the focus group and how the information the participants provided would be used. The sessions were not recorded to ensure participants spoke freely. Instead, Metro Center staff took detailed notes which were later compiled and transcribed for analysis. 19 Boynton Beach community members in total registered online to attend the focus groups scheduled for September 18th and September 2211 via Zoom. Of the 19 confirmed, six participated in the September 18th Zoom focus group and five participated in the September 22nd Zoom focus group. The research team drafted a focus group script to help guide and moderate the conversation. The staff that facilitated the focus group is fluent in English and Spanish, but there was no request to interpret any questions since all participants were fluent English speakers. The script began by explaining the purpose of the focus group, followed by warm-up questions regarding participants' thoughts about the community they currently live in. Following the warm-up, the script was divided by the five designated equity pillars — education, public health, criminal justice and safety, economic development, and housing. Within these sections, participants were asked about the biggest challenge to each topic, what obstacles they face to access resources within the topic, and what can be done to improve their concerns. These questions were presented via Zoom Polls and participants responded to the poll anonymously. Once the poll closed and everyone casted their vote, the results were visible to everyone and tallied through percentages. Throughout the focus group, participants were encouraged to share any idea that may not have been addressed and to share their honest thoughts. Towards the end of the discussion, the script prompted participants for suggestions on data, metrics, or issues that should be included in the final report and have not yet been covered. Discussion Themes: The discussion in both focus groups began by everyone introducing themselves, stating their names, occupations, and length of time they have lived in Boynton Beach. After introductions, the warm-up questions asked participants about their perceptions of their community, why they decided to move or stay in Boynton Beach, and if they were satisfied with the community they live in. High costs of housing and renting Both focus groups overwhelmingly agreed that the cost of renting and owning and housing availability pose the biggest challenges to housing in Boynton Beach. Some participants asserted that new housing developments are not reflective of the city and claimed that the architecture and design of new development caters to people from out of state looking to move to Boynton Beach. Residents have expressed the desire to become homeowners but the cost is too high and ultimately cannot afford to do so. They noted the high cost of living in Boynton Beach that does not align with the wages offered. People are finding that one job is not enough to keep them afloat and if they want to buy a decent home, they must have two incomes. Participants expressed that the market has become a seller's market, meaning that demand exceeds supply, so there are far too many buyers, but real estate inventory is low. Additionally, participants pointed out a need to invest in older Boynton homes that no longer serve as a safe and habitable home. They noted the presence of older homes in the city that need home restoration and alluded to incomplete housing projects or abandoned lots. With regard to housing availability, one participant mentioned that the available establishments are "far and few", and that any available houses for sale at a decent price are located out west, far from businesses and grocery stores in unincorporated parts west of the city. In one of our focus groups, participants were skeptical of the City's intentions regarding housing availability. For example, when talking about new subdivisions developed by the Boynton Beach CRA on Seacrest Boulevard, one participant claimed there was a "deliberate exclusion" of certain communities by denying long- time residents fair access to apply for housing due to improper dissemination of minimum qualifications. Barriers to Economic Mobility 11 Page 288 of 341 When talking about economic development, 67% of participants in one focus group noted that a combination of job availability, education, professional training, and wages all present challenges to furthering the community's economic mobility. More specifically, participants expressed a lack of opportunity for black residents and vulnerable populations, such as citizens in retirement age. Again, participants noted exclusion from certain job opportunities often due to language requirements from employers. An interesting point one participant made was that the City of Boynton Beach is the largest employer in the city, yet the majority of people of color are in low- income jobs, such as beach keepers and landscapers. People of color are seldom in areas where big -wage earners are included. Participants agreed that the city needs to be equitable about employers in the city and who they employ. Lack of Community Interest and Involvement After explaining the purpose of the focus group going through the warm-up questions, one participant mentioned a sense of disinterest from the community. She explained that the community expresses many complaints but they do not take the time to get involved and engaged in community discussions. She explained that this in itself is a big factor that could change the course of future community-based programming. Another participant addressed the topic of community involvement, and explained that the changes Boynton Beach has experienced have not been community -oriented or community -led. She explained that there is no knowledge as to when or why changes are made, and residents in her area find out about these changes after they have been decided they will be made, and not during the decision-making process. By the time the changes reach the community, it's too late and they are unable to provide their feedback. "Residents do not have a share at the table". Distrust in Local Government and General Equity Concerns Both focus groups expressed a feeling of distrust in the intentions of local government and the plans they are developing for an equitable Boynton Beach. When speaking about affordable housing, one participant claimed that the city used the term as a smoke screen. Additionally, she was skeptical of the intentions of the CRA in holding public meetings, where the purpose is to gather the thoughts and opinions of community members, but questioned whether the feedback be incorporated into future programming and planning. She claimed the public meetings are smoke screens so the CRA can claim that the community was involved but ultimately choses to proceed with their desired plans. She also questioned if local government entities were simply filling the need to include the public in order to secure federal funding. Another participant expressed that the City did not want to admit that there are areas that need drastic help; instead, they are looking for ways to get rid of those to people to make the city look "nice and attractive for others to come to live". Challenges for Boynton Beach Youths due to Lack of Alternative and Technical Programming The majority of participants identified that awareness of prospective career paths, or lack thereof, posed the biggest challenge to education in Boynton Beach. Since technical programs and economic mobility are closely related, a lack of awareness creates a challenge that affects other aspects of life. Participants agreed that the Boynton Beach school system has stopped offering technical programs in schools and instead emphasize that students should pursue a four-year college degree. One participant brought up the need for the City and school system to consider their students' needs and evaluate if promoting a four-year degree is the best option for them. The participant cited William H. Turner Technical Arts High School in Miami, FL, which is separated into eight career academies, each offering different technical courses and their respective certifications. Another participant agreed and mentioned that programs offered at South Tech Preparatory Academy should be available in all schools. "Students are not aware of the fact that there are companies that don't require degrees that pay well and provide trainings for a new trade," one participant noted. Conclusions, findings, and recommendations Many participants were skeptical about the outcome of the Community Needs Assessment and questioned if the focus group discussion would generate the outcomes they wished to see in their communities. From the discussion, the following recommendations emerged: Decision-making with input from the community is crucial to developing a more equitable city Policy and programming effectiveness with input from the community will allow different opportunities to reach different communities in the city. The feedback from focus group participants tells us that they feel policies are happening "to" them and not "for" them or "with" them and their feedback. In other words, participants expressed a desire to be involved in the decision-making process instead of being excluded. The City of Boynton Beach should build relationships with community-based organizations and community leaders to establish rapport and credibility within the community. The relationship will allow community members to identify pressing needs as they emerge or become more pressing, and the City will be able to react in a timely and appropriate manner. Balancing job opportunities to create a more diverse and representative workforce Diversity and inclusion efforts will make way for long-lasting change in terms of upwards mobility. Some participants expressed that lack of education is not the problem, but lack of awareness and then job opportunities. Expanding job opportunities to Black and Hispanic residents will stimulate economic growth within these communities and in the long term, it will create a diverse workforce representative of the City. Availability of Youth Empowerment Centers for young Boynton residents Participants from the focus groups, as well as leaders from the stakeholder committees, expressed a desire to have such a place established in the City. A center with targeted youth programming will provide young Boynton residents with a place where they can learn new skills, nurture their health, create relationships with other Boynton residents, and ultimately become future leaders in their communities. It will also make delivery of comprehensive services easier for providers. Availability of technical programs to create better job opportunities for young Boynton residents Technical programs are geared towards helping students explore potential career paths yet participants noted a lack of programming throughout the City. Not all students are prepared for college after high school, but students are not made aware of any alternatives. Providing technical programs and improving student awareness and access to them will open new possibilities for young Boynton Beach residents as well as diversity job availability.

Before we jump in, let's go over some guidelines for the discussion: Your participation is voluntary, and you don't have to answer every question. That said, you are here because your opinions are very important, and I do hope to hear from everyone at some point. Anything that you share will be kept among the research team, and you will not be personally identified in any reports we prepare based on our conversation. We also ask that we respect each other's privacy, and that you don't share what is discussed with others outside the group. We will be taking notes on the things you share today, but they will be anonymous and will only serve as a reference as we write our report on the needs of the community. There are no right or wrong answers, just different opinions. Everyone's opinions and experiences are important. If you disagree with something that is shared, please speak up, because you may represent a lot of people. Similarly, if you agree with something that is said, I'd like to hear that too. We have 90 minutes together today. Please take the time now to turn off your cell phone or switch it to silent mode. Any questions? Let's begin by introducing ourselves to each other. Please tell us: (1) your first name, (2) how long you have lived in this area, and (3) what you do for a living (their occupation). I'll go first (Let participants answer questions). Very glad to meet everyone. Let's start our discussion. Discussion: I'd like to start by talking about the community. There are many things we think of when talking about Boynton Beach and I'd like to explore those thoughts with you. • What comes to mind when you think about Boynton Beach? • Are you satisfied with the community you live in? • Why did you decide to move to Boynton Beach? Why did you decide to stay in Boynton Beach? Thank you everyone for your responses. This is helpful to understand how you perceive your community. Later on, I may ask you to specify or elaborate on certain topics. Economic Development: Now, I'd like to switch topics and learn from you regarding economic development. This could mean job training programs, small business development, and household income, to name a few. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. If you have comments, feel free to speak up. First, let's brainstorm together. What are some thoughts or feelings that come to mind when talking about economic development? (Note participants' responses) To be sure we're all thinking about the same thing, economic development refers to investing in the community to grow the economy and enhancing prosperity and quality of life for all residents. (Note participants' responses) Now, on your screen you should see a question. You can answer by choosing one of the options. The question asks what you think is the biggest challenge to economic opportunity, and the options are • Job availability • Education • Professional training • Wages • Something else I see most of you chose (x answer with most votes). Those of you who chose (x answer), could you tell me more about how this is a challenge for you? (Discussion — probe for ED concerns) Thanks for sharing. Is there anyone that thinks the biggest challenge to economic development is something else? (Wait for answer — if so, ask follow up) Could you tell me a little bit more about that? What are the obstacles you face, if any, to accessing resources? • What can be done to improve these concerns? Okay, thank you everyone for your input. Housing: Next, I'd like to talk about housing. When I say housing, I'm referring to living accommodations, either through renting or through homeownership. I'm interested in hearing your opinions about where you live and obstacles you currently face. Again, on your screen you'll see a question that you can answer by choosing one of the options. The questions asks what you think is the biggest challenge to housing, and the options are: ■ Housing availability ■ Cost of renting/owning ■ Structure conditions ■ Location n Page 292 of 341 I see most of you chose (x answer with most votes). Those of you who chose (x answer), could you tell me more about how this is a challenge for you? (Discussion — probe for housing concerns) Thanks for sharing. Would anyone who chose a different answer like to share their thoughts? • Is anyone facing other challenges? (Wait for answer — if so, follow up). Tell me more. Why is that a challenge for you? • What are the obstacles you face, if any, to accessing resources? • What can be done to improve these concerns? Thanks to everyone who has shared so far. Criminal Justice and Safetv: Moving along — I'd like to switch topics now and talk about criminal justice and safety. I'd like better to understand how you perceive your current public safety systems. This means the ways your community leaders protect residents from crimes, disasters, and other potential dangers and threats. Remember that I'm not looking for any particular answers to my questions. Feel free to be open and share your thoughts. Now you should see the poll question on your screen that asks what you think is the biggest challenge to criminal justice and safety, and the options are: ■ Rising crime rates ■ Neighborhood safety and walkability ■ Juvenile crime and detentions ■ Policing ■ Something else So, the option that received the most votes is (option x). Anyone want to share why they think this is a big challenge? (Discussion - ask follow-up questions to uncover concerns) Great — that's very helpful. Does anyone feel there is there anything we haven't discussed or mentioned? Would anyone who chose a different answer like to share their thoughts? • Is anyone facing other challenges? (Wait for answer — if so, follow up). Tell me more. Why is that a challenge for you? • What are the obstacles you face, if any, to accessing resources? • What can be done to improve these concerns? Great, thanks for sharing your thoughts Public Health: Now, I want us to talk a bit about public health. Public health means more than when, for example, doctors treat sick patients. Public health is about protecting the safety and improving the overall health of communities. It covers topics such as healthcare education and awareness, disease prevention, and equal and fair access to quality care. This time, the poll on your screen will ask for your opinion on what you think is the biggest challenge to public health. The options are: ■ Chronic diseases in the community 00, ■ Mental health services ■ Healthcare affordability ■ Preventive services ■ Something else I see many of you feel that (most selected option) is the biggest challenge. Can someone tell me more about this option? Why do you feel (x option) is the biggest obstacle? (Discussion — listen for community issues) Great — that's very helpful. Does anyone feel there is there anything we haven't discussed or mentioned? Would anyone who chose a different answer like to share their thoughts? • Is anyone facing other challenges? (Wait for answer — if so, follow up). Tell me more. Why is that a challenge for you? • What are the obstacles you face, if any, to accessing resources? • What can be done to improve these concerns? Education: I've learned a lot from everyone regarding your community, your concerns, and your ideas for long- term improvement. I'd like to touch on one final topic — education. This means knowledge and skills learned through schooling or instruction. It can be formal, through schools and degrees, or non -formal, such as adult literacy education. One more time you'll see on your screen a question which asks what you think are the biggest challenges to education. The options are: ■ Emphasis on standardized testing ■ Quality of k-12 education ■ access to quality adult education ■ Awareness of prospective career paths ■ Something else Many of you feel (x option) is the biggest challenge to education. Those of you who chose (x answer), could you tell me more about how this is a challenge for you? (Discussion — listen and probe for concerns) Great — thank you for sharing. Is there anyone that thinks there is a challenge we haven't discussed? (Wait for answer — if so, ask follow up) Could you tell me a little bit more about that? What are the obstacles you face, if any, to accessing resources? • What can be done to improve these concerns? Conclusion: Thank you for sharing your thoughts today. As we conclude our discussion, I have a few final wrap- up questions • After our discussion, are there any issues we did not cover? • What other data or metrics should be included in this study? Okay, thank you so much. I've enjoyed meeting you all. Is there anything else that you would like to share? Are there any final questions? If not, thank you for your time and have a lovely evening.

Explanation of Request: During the January 4th Commission meeting, this item and information was was requested to be discussed at the January 18th Commission meeting. The standard methodology for determining the maximum allowed density for a project is based on land that is under the ownership and control of the property owner. While common practice allows for the gross acreage of a given parcel, or combined parcels in a unified project, to count towards density, "gross acreage" is commonly understood to be limited to land within the private boundaries of the project and not adjacent rights- of-way, waterways, or other lands. The exception would be the allowance of land dedicated, as a requirement for approval, for public rights-of-way. The following accompanying excerpts from the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, as well as from the County's Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) support this methodology that is the commonly used practice for determining development density, in Boynton Beach. This is a standard and uniform method for density calculation leaving no room for alternative interpretation that would allow for land outside the project area, such as abutting rights-of-way, to be included in the definition of gross acreage. It should also be noted that staff cannot identify a prior project processed in the City that used abutting road rights-of-way for increasing the allowed density for a development project. It should also be noted that this same methodology is used for needs analysis and demand projections. This includes the methodology used in the City's Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Land Use Element for tabulating land use distribution for the City, and to estimate land area available for meeting projected housing needs. Further, the data used by the County for projecting future residential development and impacts on roads and schools is compiled using this same methodology. To change this methodology to allow the addition of one-half of the abutting road right-of-way would require an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. Such amendments should not occur without considering the significance of this change in a long-standing methodology, including the city-wide impact. Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.2.2 Should dedication of sites, easements and rights-of-way be required, the dedication shall not reduce the density or intensity of the development, where doing so would be reasonably possible; otherwise, the City shall consider the purchase of property, if dedication of land is not feasible. Land Development Regulations, Chapter 1, Article II. Definitions DENSITY - The number of residential dwelling units permitted on a particular lot or within a project determined by dividing the applicable zoning district minimum lot size for one (1) dwelling unit into the gross acreage of said lot. Density is always expressed in terms of dwelling units per gross acre (d.u./g.ac.). Chapter 3. Article . Section 1. Overview (Table 3-1 footnote #10) "10. The maximum allowable density is determined by the applicable future land use classification of the Comprehensive Plan." Palm Beach County ULDC, Ch C. Sect 5. Density. Intensity, and Building Coverage "That portion of a property conveyed or dedicated for public right of way without compensation may be subsequently included with the subject property for the purposes of density, intensity, and building coverage calculations." Definitions related to density in the ULDC: "9. Density — the ratio of the number of dwelling units per acre of land" Page 316 of 341 "17. Gross Acreage — see Gross Land Area." "18. Gross Land Area —the total area, including all public and private areas within the legal boundaries of a particular parcel of land or project." If the Commission has interest in providing alternate methodologies for granting increased density in all or part of the City, additional research would be necessary before amendments to the City's LDRs are drafted so that adverse unintended consequences are minimized.

With regard to the sale of any real estate owned by the city which has an appraised value exceeding $100,000.00 as determined by the most recent valuation of the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, no such sale shall be conducted or consummated until such time as subject property has been appraised by a disinterested qualified appraiser to be designated by the city commission for the purpose of establishing a fair market value thereon. The sale of real property for less than the fair market value shall require the approval by a vote of four-fifths (4/5) of the City Commission. Additionally, members of staff have researched other municipal disposition processes and have attached sample code language (see attached Exhibit "B") to discuss potential changes. How will this affect city programs or services? Disposition of the property may provide new housing in the City and reduce the number of vacant parcels currently being maintained by the City. Fiscal Impact: The sale of the property can potentially increase the City's tax base (new housing) and reduce the maintenance costs associated with vacant lots. The City spent approximately $10,000 last year for the maintenance of the parcel which includes: Lot mowing, trash removal, and tree trimming. Alternatives: Reject the letter of intent.
