[7:54] you'll see our projects. Lot of it's the same a lot of these carry on from year to

[7:58] year. But of course, if there's anything you'd like to add change or discuss.

[8:01] >> Now is the time to do so. We're preparing to have everything ready to be adopted

[8:03] in September. >> So we have our overall needs here. And these have

[8:09] actually been updated to reflect our view. >> Updated committee revolving

[8:14] plan so first, removal of some invite land-use development investment, housing,

[8:18] infrastructure, mobility and public access and facilities. As a reminder, our sunset

[8:24] date, we have 18 years left. So we had a lot to do. A seniors left. Yes. So keep

[8:31] that in mind as we're planning. So here's an overview of the priorities

[8:38] that we had for this fiscal year. And we made some notes and updated on information

[8:43] that's completed. are some things out and just made notations throughout. We also

[8:46] printed copy street if you'd like to take that with you look at it in more detail. we

[8:50] basically broken down into short-term and long-term planning initiatives, which

[8:53] most notably transformation plan was completed. We're well on our way to finishing are

[8:59] Syrian plan, which is very exciting. So just want to start there with the planning

[9:04] efforts. Also in that we have our maintenance of properties ongoing. Most notably all say

[9:09] that we finished the 95 south West 5th Avenue project. That's the new construction

[9:15] and we're have a tenant selection that's has been open for a while. We did receive

[9:19] one application and were planning to bring that to you all next month to review. But

[9:21] that's really exciting. Also, 90 northwest Avenue. We have 4 out of the 5 tenants that are

[9:26] in operation right now. The last one we're hoping that they'll work out a few little

[9:31] kinks. They haven't able to start construction soon. But thank you all for coming to

[9:36] the ribbon cutting for the news tenants most recent couple weeks ago. We're also

[9:41] the process of renovating the building across the street. So there's a lot that's going to

[9:44] be happier that little corner 5th Avenue. The really excited about.

[9:49] >> 3 and that really is directly across the street. >> So if you're it's the

[9:53] lights, the yellow yet, right? There's a barbershop. 2 churches yet. So we're

[9:59] renovating that. We paid 3 exterior replace the roof. So right now we're going through

[10:02] the interior. We're also adding a parking lot onto the back. There's also alleyway.

[10:07] They can be extended. That work with public works on. So that little corner was created

[10:12] to look very different. Yes, beautiful. Really nice. ?

[10:16] Next. We have. Next. Is Syria property development? So obviously the biggest thing or

[10:25] the West Atlantic Avenue, which will talk more about our next board meeting. And we

[10:30] also have demolitions of for future for double housing development. We've been

[10:35] working on a structure that's over on Northwest 11th Avenue. That's a dilapidated structure

[10:39] hoping to start demolition in the coming months and then be able to work behind making

[10:43] that available for affordable housing. We're also the process of looking at

[10:49] structure that we are the property of a person to 35 South East Second Avenue

[10:51] that's in Osceola Park. Just about demolition. That structure as well. And then on

[11:00] going into the city initiatives to get a lot of these 3 P year to year. But

[11:05] notably we're marking off a couple things here. Crest Theatre Preservation are part

[11:08] of it is complete. Mary part chain structure, our foot part is also complete and also

[11:14] we're able to work with the city to complete accessory dwelling unit study this year

[11:18] and the rest of the projects are ongoing. They say most notably Pompey Park. And they

[11:23] had the shovel painting today and the groundbreaking will be happening very soon. And also

[11:28] Northwest neighborhood Infrastructure Project is also in the works as well. We'll

[11:32] talk more about that as first funding coming up very soon. And I also like to truly never

[11:35] like forget Southwest neighborhood infrastructure is also on tap. Once we get

[11:40] started up with Northwest. Let's also we just keep that in mind that Southwest is

[11:42] still in need of it. Infrastructure improvements. these are just a few

[11:49] additional details were related to maintenance of Siri property. So we're working on

[11:53] a project to improve the Syrian office space is painting a exterior

[11:58] improvements to the building really is historic preservation because it is

[12:01] historic structure. We're still working on the arts warehouse maintenance project

[12:04] to be finished. The interior flooring and now we're working on replacing the AC units and

[12:08] also. The roof repairs and replacement that's needed. And lastly, are these security

[12:15] cameras that were working with the PD Department police department to integrate into

[12:19] the real time crime center. So we want to make sure purchasing what the city is

[12:23] purchasing because we are city agencies. So we want to make sure all linked in with what

[12:28] they're doing to have been working with them on that. He's just a few highlights.

[12:30] There's a lot going on with. These are just a few high points. We want to call out.

[12:36] And then this is a list of the overall ongoing activities. Here's a list that put

[12:45] together show this last year. But these are all the properties that are we're

[12:48] working for affordable workforce, housing development. They are largely

[12:53] single-family lots. The one that is multi you'll see is the Roosevelt Avenue. Holmes

[12:57] is. So that's the way kind of church parcel that we purchased. We just trying read

[13:02] a biggest Roosevelt Avenue because this the homes will be facing Rosehill Avenue. So we

[13:06] are pulling out the Roseville Avenue, workforce approval, housing development. And also

[13:12] you'll see there another multifamily would be the North was 600 block. Those excessive

[13:17] yearly units the town houses that were working on that. You have an item on the agenda

[13:19] today to talk about that and the rest are single-family homes in various stages of

[13:22] development. We have plenty of it. 3 darts warehouse ongoing initiative largely staying the

[13:32] same. And Haitian outreach are residents are as resident program activations rentals.

[13:40] We're still continue on there. And then we recently added the 98, the workspace in 98. So

[13:47] that's also still in the works. anyone has meetings who's here otherwise relate to

[13:53] come by police appliance. we have discounts for Delray Beach residents. Very

[13:58] affordable. Really nice pace. And we've been having a little more. traffic coming in, which

[14:00] is really nice to see. ? And the green market. So. Free

[14:10] market dates for next. This coming winter season would be October 24th through May 22nd

[14:17] 2027. I wanted to actually discuss summer market and potentially making some

[14:22] adjustments to that schedule or maybe not having it at all. It's a shorter season. It's

[14:27] smaller. It's really high. So we wanted to maybe have a discussion and see if there's

[14:35] interests are few all are open to getting some feedback about maybe extending those some of

[14:37] the winter season. A little bit more and not doing summer market. We originally had it

[14:44] in the tennis center. Think it was a way to activate the west. After COVID we moved

[14:48] into old school square because of social distancing and that's where it's been. So

[14:52] just kind of doing a pulse check its hasn't been here as long as the winter market.

[14:57] We've had that for probably over. Think about 30 years. This summer has been, I think,

[15:02] like 17 or 15 to 17 years. So it's a it was a newer concept. But we just wanted to take a

[15:07] look at it since we've had now in all school square for 6 years. Would you like us to

[15:13] now? Yeah. If you don't mind that would be ask a question. I I go to both. And clearly

[15:19] the winter market is busier. My great, many more booth, et cetera. But I think there are

[15:23] people in the summer market who enjoy and rely on it. >> As their source of income.

[15:28] So the question I think is. Are the people coming consistently coming or are

[15:35] they the sense that they want to drop off? And also? Is there is the cause. Is it cost

[15:43] prohibitive for the organization for 8 for the CRA to do it in the summer because

[15:47] you're not getting enough applicants because I think. Is year-round resident. I this

[15:52] it. Throughout the summer as well. >> Well, place prohibit. And I

[15:59] think we were just looking at sometimes people don't show. I think there's a different

[16:02] group that goes to the in the summer, more so than in the winter. And there are some

[16:06] they're the core group that are there frequently. So that's what you want talk to

[16:09] to the people who are coming to the market, the vendors it to find out what their

[16:14] thoughts are because you hear something like 90 degrees because they're they have the

[16:18] regulars that they see. Within the flip side, you have people that don't really do well

[16:20] because there not the regulars coming to pipe by their particular saying and we also

[16:27] heard feedback obviously about wanting to be on the front lawn versus the centre ground.

[16:32] So she'd be right. And also it's small. so as if people don't come, we have to shrink

[16:36] it and then you can see it at all. So it really is tough to it is invisible. Want to

[16:42] Graham and they're not wrong about the There's reasons we haven't had in the front lawn.

[16:47] >> Right. Exactly. So that's also what we're looking at is that we let me shrink it in.

[16:50] You can't really see it. And then it's even less people would come out. It's a shorter

[16:54] time frame. So we have the market from 9 to one. Sometimes people write down a

[16:58] little bit earlier. They want to get out a little earlier. So it's about plus hours and

[17:02] where they're setting up at like 5, 6 o'clock in the morning. So it doesn't change

[17:06] our setup time, right? It's just maybe it's not popular issue. Something stuck to talk

[17:11] about since we've had 6 years there. We can leave it as is. We've already gotten approval

[17:14] for next season next to do it. There. So we just want to do kind of a this a check let's

[17:22] cost us well, we have staff. There's 3, 8, 3, staff members that go So big. One of them

[17:29] works Friday and Saturday. The others just work on Saturday. So it's not like a huge cost

[17:33] per se, but we do charge a lot for the Bush side so I can get to the specific numbers. Yeah,

[17:38] I think we can do break down for you. For both actually. Yeah, it just know, we've

[17:45] talked about this, begin to talk about if we wanted to move into the front lawn.

[17:51] >> What would we all have to agree to do that because that would I go all the time that

[17:56] that is a universal suggestion from suggestion being a. >> Not a very strong word that

[18:00] they have other stronger words. But if we could move into the front, I do think

[18:05] they're right. It's invisible in the back. It will be more visible in the front.

[18:08] Everybody would know the market was going on, but I don't know what the barriers

[18:10] are. >> Well, I do in I think that using that front lawn impedes

[18:16] with what's happening at the museum. And it's not a favored location.

[18:21] >> For the museum's the wear and tear on the lawn Raptors Drive in show. Ray Leon, Drive

[18:26] on it. We hand cart everything. So I think it's just more having all of that

[18:31] clutter essentially, I think is what used on the front line as opposed to having it in

[18:36] that center area. So just something to think about to decide today. We're just kind

[18:42] of assessing and looking at things are like maybe we should. Take a check in and

[18:47] see, you know how we're doing here, especially it has gotten hotter or, you know, it's hot

[18:51] out and we've noticed less people coming in, right? Well, and we're getting a little bit

[18:54] of the complaints here and there. But again, some to great. And then some don't.

[18:58] >> love to see numbers. The numbers of. For the vendors. Sure. I like what are they

[19:04] coming and also maybe their opinions the numbers of people visiting and then, of course,

[19:09] our concerts telling me to this looking yet. Now. >> Yeah, we can do a survey. I

[19:14] think this was just, you know, if we can, you're open to having a conversation, just

[19:18] that's all just to see where we're at with it. Winter obviously has great. We were

[19:23] thinking if we were having this summer, we would start to winter earlier down start to

[19:26] the end of October as we get started in September. And we would go from September

[19:30] through May. So right now end of October through the end of And then we close for a little

[19:38] bit that were backed up again, like a new book. Sly. Can you extend the winter and keep the

[19:40] summer? >> Why would Well, I think also with us being there,

[19:47] blocks out that space essentially and now there's things happening and I know it

[19:50] for this coming season. We actually have to move our footprint because there's so

[19:55] much activation school square. So us not being there actually allows for other things to

[19:59] take place. Where is we're not there, you know, taking up all of that room. That's why.

[20:05] Thank you, Renee. Just to do one at it's going to thing are at Mayor Carney.

[20:12] >> Thank you. So I guess you probably gather some more information and get back to

[20:15] us. But this is a decision for the future said thank you. Just want open the

[20:18] conversation. Okay. Thank you. So now I'm gonna have Gina kind of go through some of

[20:26] the. In a sense. But we found out just yesterday they were going to be getting on a

[20:31] revised request from the city. There's some figures on the need to be added into the

[20:36] budget that were counted for the documents received before. So what you see here will

[20:42] change probably not significantly by the numbers. Here are not the final. So

[20:48] I'll have Gina, just kind of briefly go through this. But again, the number file. Right

[20:52] now, there's a whole. The numbers are changing. Thank you, Jane.

[20:58] ? Janet, Clayton Finance and operations director. We can't

[21:09] hear you very well. Not a ? Sorry, Yes, okay. I'm sorry. A

[21:22] So like said, expecting some updated numbers, but I don't expect it to.

[21:28] >> Increase significantly. And even the breakdown between the U.S. areas here. I know their

[21:35] particular they're related to. The positions that we're funding. No, like cip projects

[21:44] for the updated numbers. the majority, again, as in prior years of of the budget for. By

[21:58] some Perry is in the Northwest neighborhood. And again, the bulk of that. It's going to be

[22:02] Pompeo again for. This coming fiscal year. Okay. So if we care too. The clean and safe

[22:17] slide here, I just wanted to highlight here. So far we've increased said from prior

[22:27] years and promised 1.4 million for 26% increase. This is going to go With the upcoming

[22:35] adjusted numbers. also want to highlight part of that that we did add couple of positions

[22:42] here they add we added a lead, code enforcement officer position that we're finding in

[22:49] 100%. And then we. The city had proposed to us that we split up the litter prevention

[22:59] officers. in the past have funded them at 100%. But as a separate line that I'm not

[23:04] part of clean and safe, so 50% is going to be in clean and safe. And the other 50% be a

[23:14] separate line item, which is the Northwest Southwest neighborhood. Before you move

[23:18] on from this line, you have police officers going up $500,000 and then you have.

[23:26] >> T 3 patrol police technology going up 550. $1000. How many police

[23:33] officers are you adding for that increase? Not. How is that possible? That's just the

[23:41] I believe that the contract rate and your benefits. And because we that's everything

[23:45] and there and it's. >> Based their budgeted numbers requesting from So.

[23:56] >> Dewey true up on that money at the end of the year? Well, we only pay for the actuals.

[24:03] So came in to. Exactly. So this is just the budget and then for the for the teach you

[24:07] 3 3 patrollers police technology. That's really for the cameras. All right. We're

[24:13] looking at a West Atlantic. So usually we look at every year what their needing if it's the

[24:17] patrol or the T threes are the rapper strains. that's largely going to be for the cat. Was a

[24:21] costly, too. They have been that some of the staff, the positions are based on the

[24:27] condors to. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Does anyone else have questions on the slide before

[24:32] we mean, I I'm surprised. >> Additional personnel for an additional half. I just don't

[24:39] understand. mean, every looked really look at this. We've to that contract. would it cause?

[24:46] I that was it when we got this in our U.S. edition with the city to go up. Essentially

[24:52] 112%, which is what this is we asked we do we do it for tonight? Alive 100 Well, 23.9,

[25:02] 6%. But it went great year rate increase anyway, regular asked, we checked, we did get

[25:07] confirmation that it is due to the contracts. The the line item for the teeth restricts.

[25:12] That's because of the cameras. But the positions are strictly because of the contracts.

[25:17] >> So 122% is related to the police technology to the cameras, right? And then the

[25:23] staffing percentages. 23%. So that's really that's contract. That's fine. That's right. 23%

[25:29] 17% for the sergeant. Something >> Good technology and all

[25:33] that stuff. of that one Yeah. That's West Atlantic. The of the camera program, it'll

[25:39] probably be more. This is just their initial estimate because they haven't really gotten the

[25:43] specific >> costs for that They just want to start putting that

[25:45] into the Senate budget. Thank you. I think genuine teen. I'm sorry. Did you know I just

[25:50] calmly say one time >> Or it is or maintenance of all voters. It just went on

[25:57] it. >> Well, that's just not the actual costs they're just

[25:59] putting that in as the initial estimate. so will be more once they actually get the call

[26:04] from the consultant and everything's that's >> Thank Other questions. That

[26:10] was it for me. So figure. So for the reimbursable loans that hasn't changed

[26:19] significantly. From the prior year's request. And I don't expect any other changes there

[26:27] at this point in time. ? So we do that taking care,

[26:40] that city contract service a mine, which is the next time. So. You know, this is this

[26:50] hasn't decreased. From the prior year. Partly because of moving the litter prevention.

[27:00] That was that 100% in to clean and safe. And then they also the community improvement

[27:09] specialist from prior. That was like a mid-year ad. And now that is part of clean and

[27:13] safe as well. ? ?

[27:25] >> Right. back in for the cap next. should So you'll see the one new thing that was at at

[27:36] the bottom. There was a request for the improvements. The public Plaza that's in

[27:39] front of the fire station. One 11. So that's a new request just for design costs 150,000.

[27:47] The rest are largely the same. You'll just see increases throughout the that's the only

[27:49] one that is that is new. They're asking us to do this, but we are not required to do.

[27:57] >> No, we don't have to. I think it's it's we're looking at it as activation of was

[28:02] Atlantic because it's not really utilize plaza. So that was why there is a request to

[28:06] try to improve I think this gonna be painting the building and doing some improvements.

[28:10] And this would be to help try to make that public Plaza. Little more usable in front.

[28:17] If we want to add something for us to consider, that's the only new thing that has been I

[28:20] can get more information and details that insanity happes a little more internationally

[28:25] because if we're doing the designing our is. >> City going to be doing the

[28:30] work required after the design because the city probably yes, exactly my point. So think we

[28:38] maybe need a little interaction on that. If you don't mind, I'm we'll get more

[28:40] info on that. And then here's pump a park. So you'll see the budgeted amount we have about

[28:50] 16,000 because we are going to be paying out the 45 or 60 Million.

[28:54] >> We are putting out the 45 million this year in this budget. So the remainder will

[28:58] be coming out of next year's budget. So really exciting able to do it between

[29:04] Carryforward interpret things were able to find that on next year.

[29:06] ? This is North was neighborhood infrastructure This is the one

[29:14] really will be taking with the city with some kind of bonding mechanism. So we have of this

[29:20] about 12 million in here. However, it will change as we get the additional requests

[29:24] from the city. This is the kind of the biggest pocket that we have. So we would look

[29:29] to make any adjustments from Northwest neighborhood since we will be looking for bond

[29:33] funds for this project. And we will be discussing that more. I think going to be talking

[29:38] about that. The city manager with you all and then we will as well because the city will

[29:42] probably have to issue debt for this. And for all with us as the backstop essentially.

[29:48] And then was paying that debt over a certain period time. So we have been in discussions

[29:50] with them, the city's minds, individuals about how that will look at ING them or

[29:54] financial information by. I think that will probably start looking to ramp that up soon

[30:01] because they are working on the guaranteed maximum price for that project. We want to

[30:03] make sure once that's done that there's money in place to actually get started with

[30:06] that. Thank you. And the cost estimates are about. 100 in. 12 million or 25 20 Million? I

[30:12] think. It's a big project. huge. Yes. then here's a summary of our Syrian

[30:24] projects. Again, we'll go through line by line because, again, they are mostly the

[30:27] same. just want him to call out the Roosevelt Avenue. Affordable workforce, housing

[30:31] designed. So that is the most notable new thing. I would I would say that we're going to

[30:37] get started with and designing project. But everything else is carrying over from prior

[30:43] years. And here's a few other things that we have going on. We have are typical zichri

[30:51] funding assistance program speeds have been signage, project consultancy and Syria

[30:56] site assistance are only available for Syria on properties. And then we also

[31:00] have the Curb Appeal Program which administered through the city Delray Beach. And we have

[31:04] in the process of revising the guidelines for the development, Infrastructure

[31:08] assistance program and the Land Value Investment program. So those are more available

[31:12] for our larger development. So we looked at We looked at the request for proposals for the

[31:15] West and to Gavin Properties. So will bring those back to finalize. It was rain issue.

[31:19] The RFP is we'll have those already for for everyone to to finalize and approve his And

[31:28] we're also in the process of revising goals and objectives analysis. This was a new

[31:32] statutory requirement from chapter one 89. So we created a document basically

[31:38] explaining that we're evaluating how we're performing based on our budget

[31:40] and our work plan. And we do a close that report to see how much was spent in the year to

[31:44] assess how we did. So we're preparing this document also that will have ready for your

[31:49] next month. And then we created update for the new Syria priorities for 2026

[31:56] 2027. Weekend looks the same. we are continuing on and finish up these important

[32:03] projects that we have going on. And then here we have listed public Plaza for the

[32:15] fire station. We will get more information about that. And then just last items for

[32:22] discussion as the boy from the Northwest neighborhood a kind of mentioned parking

[32:26] enhancements. So as you know, we have looked at the parking lot is over across from

[32:31] bettors 3rd. So we have analysis for that. delving more into that. It looks like

[32:35] there is a possibility, a centre. The report out. So we want to really look into that

[32:39] a little bit more so we might need discuss adjusting the budget later on. Once we

[32:44] actually get a little more information and analysis on that, could be really exciting

[32:48] to help her community are exciting. Definitely when we were at meeting.

[32:53] >> Which to be recommended yesterday with the businesses. There is a lot of talk about

[32:57] the, you know, the complexity of parking in that area known park. And now there's a new

[33:02] restaurant. There's a glimmer they see other gratis. Question for you. people are

[33:08] using our parking over there at night and there charging a Yeah. people's I don't know if

[33:17] I can't say for sure. The valleys are parking their cars over there, but they may be

[33:21] because someone was complaining that valleys using that spot. I typically is that

[33:24] when I go, they're using Ali Ali. I think they mentioned the CRA lot is at the

[33:30] warehouse is welcome. It. Just worth noting if they're using perhaps they need to

[33:36] reimburse. The resident says tiny bit. All right. Well, I had a discussion or stories

[33:42] have a discussion about actually mirroring installing some meters in that parking

[33:44] lot. >> So we had one meeting where we didn't have a great turnout

[33:47] during the summertime. So we're gonna try to schedule it again. I think there's like

[33:51] one or 2 people that own a lot of properties there Wright issue was not available. So

[33:55] we're trying to get that meeting rescheduled because that was something we wanted

[33:58] to talk about. If we want to actually install meters there or not. To help with the

[34:03] turnover because it's hard. We can't. It's hard for us to regulate. I mean, we need

[34:07] that's what was really parking for its warehouses. Well, in the public in a lot of times,

[34:10] those cars stay there all day because he or parking there. And then you know, you then at

[34:17] nighttime because now we're having this situation. So on the flip side is where with

[34:20] the employee's part, which is what we heard from couple of the business owners and lead

[34:24] presented the city's parking program and then option. But obviously everyone likes the

[34:28] parking. That's there, right? we don't really have all the feedback county, but we are

[34:35] planning another meeting became president of the business and the property

[34:37] owners there. Thank you. If you for a shot living, a garage there right? Re is an

[34:43] interim solution because as we were things opening, more restaurants open and it's only

[34:47] going to get worse. So we're just trying to see if there's something that we can do in

[34:50] the interim and we can set up metering, however, we'd like just have to be exactly the

[34:56] city because it's our parking lot. We were just kind of piggy back and we managed to

[35:00] the city public works and they just, I guess, program it everyone inside tower would

[35:03] like. So think just an option in the interim that right, because a gradual take U.S.

[35:09] years. start to finish. It would be years. So yes, just probably look for some

[35:17] solution. In the meantime, you have some messages about that will help turn over.

[35:23] >> Parking go lot right. But I think a lot of them are employee pay so they could

[35:28] parking passes and still be the we can. We can say that they don't. They're not use

[35:32] for the parking passes. Right? Yeah. Like is that we can program and how are we like if

[35:37] we want to say this is the cra's guidelines and then just it'll be manage that way. We

[35:42] just don't allow the employee parking there and that it was have to park. Elsewhere in Las

[35:48] Vegas. So, you know, we'll see again. We're getting mixed information right now. Some

[35:53] are like that's a great idea. But then on the flip side, the employees can part. But the

[35:55] now the patrons can't part. And then you have alleys and Wright's getting a little

[36:01] complicated in that area. Thank you. It's. hearing a Well, we're we're planning

[36:10] another meeting with the with the property owners in the business owners. Hopefully

[36:15] that'll maybe September. Just again. There's a couple that are the main owners that we

[36:18] really we want to have their they weren't there. We had the first meeting. So we only got

[36:23] a couple there with a little bit of feedback. So we're trying to do that again. Once

[36:26] we get their feedback, we'll bring that back to you all. And that would be more to

[36:30] discuss if you want to consider the metering option separately. We're also working

[36:34] on a parking lot study basically about installing a parking So we're doing that

[36:40] analysis now. And once we have that will simultaneously put those 2 forward. We were just

[36:47] thinking if there's an interim solution, we can have to help alleviate the parking. But we

[36:50] also want to make sure that the business owners and property owners they're on the

[36:54] same page because of it. intent is not to hinder anyone. We just want to make

[36:57] sure. We're getting all the information and trying to make the best decision for

[37:02] everyone. So the bill is little time. We have a little ladies and time. Yeah. And

[37:11] actually one of the main property owners is the one providing that delays. And

[37:15] that's yes. property owners on street gets and they have that. The parking structure

[37:20] that can accommodate it. So yes, we have to find out what's happening. Exactly.

[37:24] Mayor, did you have any input? But okay, thank you. Thank you. thank you.

[37:27] >> Are we done with this section? Yeah, we're finished question. anybody have any

[37:32] other questions and follow-up? No, okay. So onto new business authorization to create and

[37:41] establish an H.O.A. homeowners or condo association for the Northwest 600 block of West

[37:46] Atlantic. Ave affordable Workforce Townhomes with accessory dwelling units. This

[37:50] is exciting. Good afternoon. Commissioners received tips assistant director.

[37:57] >> So I'll be brief, as all know that history have this item and what's being bill on

[38:02] Northwest 7th Avenue here. Just a map here to show you where the residential portion

[38:07] is going on northwest 7th Avenue and the commercial unit on North West 6th Avenue

[38:11] outlined Blue. There just a little reminder of what we hope this area will look like

[38:18] in the future. You'll see an aerial view of the 12 townhome units with the 80's in the

[38:22] back. And and the commercial unit on the alleyway in the not actors building on

[38:30] buildings on North West 6th Avenue. And there's also going to be infrastructure and

[38:35] streetscape improvements with the North. What's infrastructure project, too?

[38:37] So this whole area we'll be getting a lot of work. So. Again, townhomes with 80 use

[38:45] just a brief overview. We are planning for that streets there. And I'll get into it.

[38:54] So it's part of site plan approval, which we are going through with the city right

[38:56] now. We do need to enter into some city agreements, including landscape,

[39:01] maintenance agreement. Opposition is out easement agreements they would need to

[39:05] be agreed to between the entity that would oversee the management and maintenance of

[39:11] those communal spaces and that and see what either be a homeowners association where a

[39:16] condominium association. We are still in the process of working out. What is the

[39:20] appropriate type for our future development here? So the homeowners and condominium

[39:28] association with the to be created and established as part of that and not

[39:31] for-profit corporation with the state of Florida would need to be established. And

[39:35] with that goes the drafting the filing of the articles of Gration recording on necessary

[39:40] governing documents appointing an initial board of directors and a registered agent and

[39:44] establishing a bank account for the association. And with that, we are here today asking

[39:50] you to authorize the creation and establishment of the Northwest 7th Avenue.

[39:55] Homeowners were condominium association not-for-profit corporation with the state of

[40:00] Florida for the Affordable Workforce, Housing Townhomes and accessory dwelling unit

[40:04] within the Northwest 600 block to authorize hearing staff to open bank account for the

[40:09] Northwest 7. Avenue homeowners Association. So we can pay those fees associated with

[40:16] establishing the association and then appointing the initial board of directors for

[40:20] the Northwest 7th Homeowners Association for Condominium Association. With this year,

[40:24] executive director serving your president Syria assist and director serving as the

[40:29] board Secretary Syrian finance and operations director serving us for treasure and

[40:33] the legal adviser for the Syria as the registered agent, members of the board.

[40:38] >> Thank you. And just this is just a necessary step to keep project going forward in

[40:42] world. So I did about it. Does anyone have any questions or comments?

[40:44] >> I would I would say that going to have these are going to be feasible townhomes and I

[40:53] think you're going be better off doing it as an H.O.A. because lenders do not like

[40:57] into condos in the comments going. So if you're going to try to reach to get them to

[41:02] agree to which can probably achieve the same thing that you're trying

[41:06] >> are leaning towards the homeowners is that, you know, I'm just saying as a as a

[41:09] legal structure and try to get finance is going to be, it's a lot more easily for an

[41:12] individual to finance a townhome that it is a condo unit.

[41:18] >> only and not tonight, but the name block of West Atlantic was missed notices

[41:22] really on 7th and has. >> Right. I mean, that's why the center the market we're

[41:27] not putting this on Westland. that was my I was actually looking up your son. The

[41:33] address. Thank you know, to be my only comments to the legal structure. I apologize. Thank

[41:40] you. That's a great comment. >> Ms Barnes know I just wanted to say that, you know,

[41:45] I've already talked to are in a concerning B necessary to a movement toward that in we

[41:52] discussed that the Israeli will probably be the easier want to do so completely.

[41:56] Supported. Miss Monica. I don't have any support this. energy we can come up Mr.

[42:10] Market judge to So it's on a number 3 down the road pay number 3 down the road due to

[42:16] SUP 8. Look at different border. a lapse raises is done right once. It's actually

[42:22] complete and then we start selling them and then we wish the board. I the board would

[42:25] owner owner. >> Residents can probably get worse as well. Yes, but its

[42:34] suggestion is that the CRA should still maintain and keep some of the units that were

[42:37] still involved like we're with west settlers. We still have a few units just for me So are

[42:41] the board's established once we're okay with that? We can maybe look at selling those

[42:46] students by I think in the beginning we could still be part of a kid. Again, in case

[42:50] something comes up that we can help to find that you're enough units to maintain

[42:55] control over at the H.O.A., then. That's right. We could eventually we could sell them

[43:01] off and start dry spring. The EU saying in beginning just to make sure everything right,

[43:04] just to make sure it's managed and every one of, you know, sold and we're all set.

[43:09] >> we would start selling But latest example for West Sellers, there's commercial

[43:14] units there which are actually the majority. So we are the majority owners there. And

[43:18] then there's for residential is on the top floor for 3. And then one downstairs. So it

[43:23] eventually will have to sell those 2. But for now, we still are the majority owners there.

[43:25] All right. >> Yes. So do you need a motion on that? 2 you to

[43:33] create an established the homeowners association, our Car Association. Yes, for all

[43:37] 3. Okay. Could I get a motion? Please? yes. say so. Thank you so much. Commissioner Burns.

[43:46] Yes, Commissioner Carney, yes chair because yes, for group. Yes. The Peabody Sherman

[43:51] occurred. Yes. Great. Thank you. On 2.90, a resolution of the Delray Beach Community

[43:59] Redevelopment Agency to observe Florida redevelopment week.

[44:03] >> Right. So he's the one. So this year on the Floor, Redevelopment Association,

[44:11] which kind of a subsidiary of the League of Cities that over like works in series and

[44:16] provides training and >> fantastic conference every year for series. Also on the

[44:20] board says my last be rolling off in October. Was the president last year, but they

[44:26] started initiative. This year's have redeveloping week like different groups have

[44:29] weeks. We say, well, you know that Syria should have one too. So they're asking

[44:34] everyone to make a resolution that establishing September 14 through the 18, 2016 as

[44:40] redevelopment week and doing activities more so than what we normally do. But just do a

[44:44] little more outreach and information, use a certain hashtag color schemes that

[44:49] we're all being consistent. Just so we're keeping that positive message in showing

[44:53] people what series are doing throughout the state. So that's all just a resolution

[44:57] to approve. Did we put that forth to the commission since a September 14 there? We're

[45:02] not doing that. We can. I mean, we just we brought it to you all we can, if you will,

[45:06] if you would like to do, we need to I mean, really necessary. So we can do it at

[45:09] this level in it. >> Yeah, we're doing just that. We're recognizing it.

[45:13] And maybe next year the city through it out for the city's do also. But it's just for us

[45:17] is fine. And we'll share this with any them very. >> It's move for the right

[45:21] approve the U September. 14 to 18 to be designated this far. Recognition of Florida

[45:28] redevelopment. Thank you. Second that and we go. Commissioner Carney, yes,

[45:36] chair pizzo, yes, Malcolm. Yes to be vice chair Mark yes. Commissioner Burns

[45:44] >> Fabulous on to 9 C C area executive director annual review. Hey, good afternoon

[45:53] commissioners. So this is the series annual performance evaluation.

[45:57] >> Just her her eye agreement on or about June. 29, during the term of the agreement for

[46:03] the purpose of recommending any compensation and benefit adjustments for the ensuing

[46:06] year. The Shell take place. you filled out forms a valuation. Those were provided

[46:13] to you again of this meeting. If you have any questions, please. Coming up.

[46:20] >> And this is retroactive. So we have to make that you had part of your motion

[46:24] retroactive to June. 29th of 2026. typically the board has recommended 6% right here.

[46:37] >> I would. I would put 4, 6%. Absolutely. I think you deserve to pay that you're

[46:42] receiving. You represent our city so well and the projects that you're working on, you've

[46:47] done an exceptional job and you are definitely deserving of 6% increase. From my

[46:53] perspective. And when any one company has put my coffee, on the valuation, social

[47:03] repeated, but I'm ready to make the motion. >> like to make the motion

[47:09] that we grant the executive direct of the 6% increase the retro return back to 2, Yes,

[47:25] commissioner vice chair mark or yes, commissioner burns. Yes, commissioner Yes.

[47:31] >> It just wanted to let you know that that the agreement will come before you next

[47:34] month for your approval. Thank >> Okay, on to the redevelopment advisory

[47:41] committee Monday. Yes, okay. >> So Freedom Geyser, Curry. So we. Just as update. So we

[47:51] were looking for direction on reads as nation. So we had had to committee so far. The first

[47:57] one was can to look at the West Atlantic properties and a study that we did for was the

[48:03] Lancet. The second one looked at this area that you'll see here to 35 South East Second

[48:08] Avenue and we received 2 of the 3 reports to close out basically the turn. So Im

[48:15] looking at what we have going on for the future. We thought maybe we could turn this into

[48:19] and ad hoc and as he did committee us opposed to annually so that the board can

[48:24] elect to assign this group. have people sign up for this group as needed as opposed

[48:29] doing it every year. So we wanted hear some spots if anyone was interested in.

[48:35] Making transition as Burns defense with respect. I think think

[48:43] >> Community sounds great. I mean, right now we don't have anything that we need them to

[48:47] be looking in specifically. So I think, you know, as needed. >> Mayor Carney, agree. Okay.

[48:52] Thank you. Mr. Mark, I agree as Kenny, this Malik saying this just one building right?

[49:01] >> Yes. So the intent of this was just said, look at that building. So we did that. And

[49:03] now. It's over. it's over for now. Exactly. But anything comes up. We can absolutely.

[49:12] And we can pretty. exactly. >> It's a great idea. Rene, thank you. And so are we. How

[49:17] are we notifying? Because we do have people serving, although I think we have some

[49:23] vacancies. But just asking people to continue their commitment. wait, future

[49:29] projects. Well, the term was over. So we were supposed to go back out to make a call for

[49:35] proposals are right now are going to put those people served 2 Can they didn't think

[49:38] he likely just? That said, though, the there are people who really enjoy it. very

[49:46] committed. this we had 3 people and then one person resigned. And we said we

[49:50] couldn't. We needed to have at least 3 people to have a committee.

[49:52] >> So right now we only have 2 and they definitely committed at night. Eyes are the 2 that

[49:57] I was thinking writing and there's still other ways to engage in and give feedback. I

[50:03] think the big still be engaged regardless of a group or not. So appreciate their commitment

[50:09] that I don't think it's needed to decide the future of this. >> Building right away.

[50:15] >> Well, we so they already did so right? They've already discussed it. So now it would

[50:18] be to find new initiatives and new things to discuss. I don't know. We have something

[50:22] that's, you know, is large enough. We're actually doing a lot of the for now that's been

[50:27] discussed. it going forward and actually this building, there's a lot more to be done

[50:31] there. So we're going through media are remediation for this building. We really do need to

[50:35] get a lot of community outreach and more in play on this. And we're working with

[50:39] Palm Beach County. They have a grant program that does Comey like this type of planning

[50:44] efforts. So there's still be opportunities to engage in this particular structure. The

[50:49] one person who resigned actually lived in Osceola Park and she sold her house and

[50:54] move so, but I think the others would still be engaged regardless because this is

[50:58] still a great to develop this. But we still have a lot of steps to actually get to the

[51:02] demolition. Then we need to talk about what we're going to be doing with it. So maybe at

[51:07] that point, really more into the into the weeds of it. But right now it's just very

[51:11] preliminary. And I'm not sure what other things we have to discuss in our pipeline right

[51:17] now. The finalists. Thank Moving towards a nap. ?

[51:24] >> Thank you. I think you have your direction or not. So we'll update the guidelines

[51:27] and bring that back next month on consent. And then we will just hold for now until we

[51:34] need something great pop back everywhere. On to other business comments from our

[51:36] executive director. Well, thank you for the reviews. I truly appreciate being here

[51:42] and working with you all in the community. And we're doing such amazing things together.

[53:41] opportunity to speak at the opening session of community. Land trusts program this
