[2:22] Very good. Just named an address to the record.

[2:24] Please limit your comments to three minutes.

[2:34] No, it's a beautiful day and my name is Rob Phillips, 2620 North West 10th Street.

[2:43] Morning everyone.

[2:45] Today I have good news, I have good news, great news.

[2:49] You know, I'm very proud to say that it took you a while.

[2:55] All the begging and asking and crying about the city and where the homeless and the

[3:06] prostitution, it's starting to look better.

[3:10] It's starting to look better.

[3:11] Thank you, Alison Ford, for doing the right along with Polista to check on our community,

[3:20] not just your district, your community.

[3:23] I appreciate everything that the commission that the city did.

[3:28] I wrote a little something here I said, I personally want to thank BSL street cleaning crime prevention task force.

[3:37] What they did to stay in last week, they went around cleaning up signers park area, where old Mario's drug prevention, they did the thing where they had 15 to 20 cars go over there.

[3:50] and let the people know that the city is tired of them doing drugs and crime, it might

[3:56] have not shown, but it helped to let the crime or the homeless know that the city is tired

[4:05] of. Over in the city in Barrymore, Sarah, they had a drive by where they lay down half

[4:16] after the street of the people of the, they took them to jail.

[4:21] Some went to jail, some didn't.

[4:23] But they cleaned that area up, around a PAL store,

[4:28] that area from Atlantic to a fourth court,

[4:32] where the South Station is, the police did their job.

[4:36] They went to J. Mar and with 20 or 30 deep,

[4:39] Bowel's shelf lately have been getting paid for the money,

[4:42] and they cleaned our area.

[4:44] If you go by the day, you're one,

[4:46] It looks like a brand new city.

[4:49] The homeless are not there, the prostitution not there, the drugs, and it's there, but it's

[4:54] not as open as the wild, wild whists.

[4:58] I want to thank the city.

[5:00] So, for hearing the citizens cry that we need it help, and someone, if not a few, did reach

[5:10] out and let be us, so no, we need something dead to make our city look like a city instead

[5:18] of like, and they have done their job. That's what I want to report. They have good news.

[5:23] and so in the past it looked it looked very bad and today it looks very good

[5:31] over and where we at, where Ed Phillips and Barefield have their business

[5:37] there's not there anymore so I want to thank you for looking out for the

[5:42] city and everybody that treat the city as a whole and thank you very much for all

[5:48] how you have done for the City of Pompano because we have a 13, 12 million out of park.

[5:56] We have-

[5:56] Thank you, Mr. Phillips, appreciate it.

[5:58] Everything that we want.

[6:00] Thank you.

[6:01] Next speaker.

[6:14] Hello, Mary Phillips, 384 Northwest 19th Street Pompano Beach, Florida.

[6:20] I just want to make you aware of an event that we have coming up on July 27th, from 3 to 6 p.m.

[6:27] We have a pop-up shop and suit donation for the homeless.

[6:32] Our organization, we try to do things to benefit the community.

[6:35] We have a non-profit small BSEEDC.

[6:38] Our proposed other activities we have coming forward is we want to do an employment lab, which is a free lab.

[6:44] Two days out of the week, we wanted to be able to allow people to come to our office.

[6:48] We have a 10 computers that was donated in around 2008, 2009 by the city.

[6:54] And we are trying at this time, update those computers to Windows 11 computers.

[7:03] But we want to offer that to the community.

[7:06] We've applied for a grant with BSL to get their support for an employment lab.

[7:13] And it's free for people to come and register for jobs and get assistance with posting their resumes.

[7:19] The other events we have coming for is our health fair.

[7:22] We do that every year in November where we give away turkeys and also give away information

[7:27] about health care services.

[7:29] We do that at the Pompa Novich city center each year and the city has been very good and

[7:36] sponsoring us, even though the city has given us no money, nonprofits need money to operate.

[7:42] So we do have a sponsorship that we are requesting.

[7:45] We'll be sending that information over to the city manager to discuss with him the possibility of the City of Pompeo Beach sponsoring some of our activities so we can continue to do the great things that we're doing here.

[8:00] The things that we've done have been beneficial to senior citizens, the families and the children.

[8:05] We are also again doing the teen chasing dreams program, which is a free after school program here in the city of Pompeo Beach.

[8:14] We are trying to expand that program next year, this year, it would be this year, starting in October.

[8:20] Where we want to put one of those programs in the Coyote City area.

[8:26] It's been very successful at the Northwest Branch Library, and we're hoping to either put it at the Coyote City Jammeran Library.

[8:35] Or if we can't get the space there, put it in one of the city's facilities, okay.

[8:42] But please go to Small Biz Info.net, anyone who wants to be a part of our organization who wants to become a sponsor for any of the activities that we have.

[8:53] Go to Small Biz Info.net, we're online, you can see some of the things that we're doing.

[8:58] And we just look forward to a great relationship this coming year and doing things to help our community.

[9:04] Because it's all about helping people in our community, it's not a black thing or a white thing, it's just people.

[9:09] And we all need help.

[9:10] Thank you.

[9:11] Thank you, appreciate that.

[9:12] Next speaker.

[9:17] Nika McLeod.

[9:36] Good afternoon.

[9:36] Iniquia McLeod, 2074 Northwest Forest Street,

[9:40] Pompa Long Beach, Florida, 33069.

[9:42] I was here, I was told that the building that was granted to me,

[9:47] 27 Northeast, first avenue was going to be on the agenda today,

[9:51] however, it's not here because I'm roughly out of about $15,000.

[9:57] and the lease was

[10:00] I was taken from me by the CRA, and I was told that I was advised that if I came here to speak on it, they wouldn't recommend me to be back in the lease. On March 13th, I met with Noen, Kim, Sarah, and Vince, regarding the building. Because when I first went to get initial plans for that building, no one had any.

[10:28] The only plans that they had was the AC and the electrical from the previous person that was there that renovated the building, but did not pull a permit.

[10:40] So when the permit was pulled, it was pulled for those two items.

[10:44] When I went to the city of Papano, they told me to the building department.

[10:49] They told me that I would have to get the plans from Broward County because they didn't have any original plans because of the age of the building.

[10:57] prior to vice mayor, the question was not painting over the brick and in order for me to get the insurance on the building,

[11:08] I had to open up the walls so that they can see that nothing was, you know, any electrical wasn't behind the walls.

[11:14] So that was my initial thing in order for me to get insurance on the actual building.

[11:19] So, I went to Vence because that's why I was appointed to speak to over at the CRA and Vence told me he only had the mechanical plans.

[11:33] As I started to uncover things, there's a door that's there that no one knew about.

[11:41] There's no fire rated wall and then I had a stop work order by PSO and the pharmacy because there's no wall that actually

[11:50] Separates the pharmacy from that building

[11:53] So that was part of the

[11:58] Things that started to uncover once you start open up the opening of the walls

[12:03] Once I did find out that information I went over to the pharmacist. He gave me more information when it came to the building and then

[12:11] I spoke met with everyone on the panel with the CRA,

[12:16] Vance, Nguyen, Cam, Sarah, and we met, we came up with an agreement.

[12:23] This was on March 13th, and I told them that I asked them, did I need a commercial GC or

[12:29] just a regular GC?

[12:31] They told me that I could use the regular GC, that they can get the permits through with the regular GC.

[12:40] I'm going to ask, and I appreciate you being here, I'm going to ask though if you can get with, there's a new one right there, and if he can get with, he's not going to be soft.

[12:48] They put out an ad, he already had someone in mind, he told me that he's not, he put not an ad on April 1st, but he already has someone that's going to get the building.

[13:02] So which was the person that originally came up with me, which is the architect that Pompano uses.

[13:09] So he had already spoke with them and said that that's who they're going to give the building to minus all of the money that and things that I've put into uncovering all of these things.

[13:19] I have pictures, I have receipts, I have everything trying to get a permit to do the work inside the building.

[13:27] Okay, Mr. Trank, can you get with this young lady and figure out what's going on and give us a

[13:34] He already said he's not helping me. Let me up mayor. I agree for you to have met. We have met already. Okay, so

[13:44] Mickey was attending over there at the melted bar, which is the candlemaking

[13:50] Establishment that we sub-lease 27 northeast first avenue two

[13:56] So the least starting October 1st, 2023, February 11th, there was a lot of demo work that was done interior, so the entire interior was demoed without a permit.

[14:09] We came to this by the owner of the building trying to do a 40 year inspection.

[14:16] So we called a meeting together with Nikki on March 3rd to tell her what needs to be done to correct the situation before it became an issue.

[14:26] So on March 4th, we did meet with Nikki and her team and outlined exactly what needed to be done, which was to pull a demo permit and indicate everything that needed to be fixed.

[14:41] On March 20th, still nothing was done.

[14:44] We had the issue a 30-day notice to cure.

[14:47] And Ms.

[14:48] On March 20th, I went in and gave events.

[14:50] The application that was requested by Nguyen and Kim.

[14:54] On March 20th, I have the email from vents stating that I came in and brought in everything that was at.

[15:00] It's right here. So correct to the information. February 11th was the demo. We waited over a month to issue notice to cure. So she had another 30 days to cure after notice. We checked the building department files. Nothing was filed as of April 18th for any corrective action on the 30 day. So according to the lease, we are, you know,

[15:30] We had to issue a default there, nothing was done.

[15:33] So by default, the lease was terminated.

[15:37] The security deposit, the sneaky put down we are using to try to remedy the situation.

[15:45] I have photos here, the entire Interior's demo.

[15:50] The entire interior is not demo.

[15:54] The original plan that I submitted to you guys on the day that this originally was

[15:59] given to me and if anybody is in construction, you know that you're not going to get a permit from commercial GC and three to four months.

[16:10] You have to sub out the work in order to get someone to pull the permit and give you quotes to see who could actually do the word to even get a regular GC.

[16:21] So, once I spoke with them and they told me that it's okay, I can use a regular GC, that's what I did.

[16:28] And I submitted the things on the 20th, so if a letter was sent out on the 20th,

[16:33] when I saw the email, when I received the email that day, I thought that by me coming in on the 20th,

[16:40] given events, the application, that that was suffice for the 20th, so why would I even go back to them if I went in on the 20th?

[16:50] Mr. Harrison, I don't know, there's a lot of stuff going on here, but this lady I know

[16:58] that we gave her the contract or the lease with the premises, and are we, is it because

[17:04] she didn't get something to us on the 20th? Was that it? I understand she had time to.

[17:09] It was submitted on the 20th, I brought them in and physically handed them to events

[17:14] The issue mayor is that a lot of work was done on the interior demo, including two load bearing walls.

[17:22] No, no, no, no bearing walls were removed.

[17:25] So, per the engineer that was-

[17:28] It is a non-safe condition.

[17:29] Okay.

[17:30] The issue, the notice to cure a 30-day notice.

[17:33] And since nothing was done over 30 days, the only thing left for us to do was terminate the lease.

[17:45] That's the rules, but the mere fact that demolition was done, I mean that happens all the time, we know that, we know that, okay, I appreciate that.

[18:00] I just want to be sure that our record is clear, it's my understanding that demolition was done without a permit.

[18:05] And it needs to be, you know, there needs to be a permit before you do the demolition.

[18:10] Certainly, absolutely it does.

[18:12] And I think all of us in this room probably realize that demolition goes on just about every day without a permit, but that doesn't make it right, of course not.

[18:21] So have you had, I mean, you had discussions with this lady during that 30-day time period?

[18:26] No.

[18:26] our design team on what needs to be done.

[18:29] Not doing that 30 day period.

[18:30] We had a meeting on the 13th.

[18:32] Okay.

[18:33] It was on the 13th I have all the emails.

[18:36] It was on the 13th.

[18:37] I came in on the 20th with what the meeting that we had on the 13th,

[18:41] they asked me for documentation to pull the permit,

[18:44] which cares the paper right here where he sent me the email.

[18:47] I have a number that we can use right here to pull the permit with the GC.

[18:53] Okay.

[18:53] The regular GC.

[18:54] Okay.

[18:55] I came back and the lady, her name is Caitlyn.

[19:01] He said that Caitlyn was in the city of Pompano in the building department, she will walk the permit through.

[19:07] She came back and said that then I needed a commercial GC, but I asked that at the meeting, when we had a meeting together.

[19:15] I asked then I said do I need a commercial GC?

[19:17] Because if, why would I go through trying to get a commercial GC using a regular GC versus a commercial GC from the junk?

[19:25] When I ask those questions to the new one, excuse me, can I ask you to ask that question to me and you were enemy and I directed a question to you.

[19:34] I wouldn't know the difference between, okay, you told me you did, you said you worked for, okay, time out, time out.

[19:42] I've got a question from my commissioner for a day right here, she'd like to ask.

[19:45] Thank you. I just have one quick question.

[19:48] Are you interested in continuing to pursue this project?

[19:52] Yes, because I have a lot of money invested in this project, okay, I'm the engineer the architect understood

[19:58] I didn't know if you're preventing frustration

[20:00] Or you really are trying to figure out a way to move forward with this. And because, I mean, from my experience up here, we give extensions, we do things all the time to people who are working on construction. Yes, even with the six months that I was supposed to get for to do the build out my first payment was supposed to have been made. They said it was April. I paid my first move in with October. If you cannot six months from October,

[20:29] with the first payment should have been made if that's the case, without you even just terminating the permit.

[20:36] So the worst case scenario would have been, hey, you got to start making your payments now.

[20:40] Versus coming back before you guys saying, hey, okay, can I have an additional six months?

[20:47] The worst case scenario would have been me going ahead and start making the $2,000 payment.

[20:53] Thank you.

[20:54] Isn't that correct?

[20:59] We'll have a detailed report for all of you, item by item by item by item on this.

[21:07] This is something that has to be worked out.

[21:11] Yes, it does have to be worked out.

[21:15] If it comes down to it.

[21:17] Okay, yeah, I mean, get everybody involved, but I mean, that's a, Commissioner 48's point is valid.

[21:21] I mean, there's many times, if there's been an attempt to move forward, I mean, we have given folks additional time and things of that needs.

[21:33] So please.

[21:34] As well as, don't mean to cut you off, you're in a good place right now.

[21:37] You're in a good place right now, so yeah, if you can look at it, okay, okay, good, thank you, thank you, Mayor.

[21:49] I remember when this young lady came before us for this project and I do know in the O downtown area we've had situations where we actually work with businesses that are coming in that fall by the wayside on certain things and permits of that nature, but I do want you to know new and that you if you really wanted to work with this young lady to get this business open.

[22:15] It can be done.

[22:17] If you know that you haven't received something in 30 days and it's around the

[22:20] corner, you could have simply just given her a call and say you have a week or two

[22:24] weeks left before the 30 day in and she can possibly move faster and put in the paperwork.

[22:30] So I need you to show some kind of effort with this young lady.

[22:34] And that's why we had to issue it.

[22:37] We made numerous attempts on emails, calls, certified letters that were signed and

[22:44] I'm sorry, but why can't you just plan to do it?

[22:48] No, and listen, when you all want to put a business over there, you work with the

[22:52] business owner that's putting the business that I've seen it happened a lot of times.

[22:57] So there's no difference with this business in helping her with the timeline of

[23:02] getting things in a timely manner.

[23:05] Now, I think that's something you can help her do.

[23:07] I don't think you should just say we're not going to give her the lease or it's going to

[23:12] go away because you misplaced it is two ways, okay?

[23:15] It has been one way the whole time.

[23:18] No, so there's a timeline that Vince put out, okay, but what we're saying is that we don't want.

[23:26] You're going to deny her this lease because she missed a permit date.

[23:31] Is that what we're saying?

[23:32] It is a corrective action 30 day notice to cure.

[23:36] It is an unsafe structure at the moment.

[23:39] There's electrical hanging all over the walls.

[23:42] There are load bearing walls that were removed.

[23:45] This can be verified by the building official who made a visit over there.

[23:51] So there have been plenty, plenty of notices.

[23:55] We normally don't do this.

[23:56] You're right, we do extend, but when we don't get a response, there's only one option.

[24:03] And I still think that you, you should be able to work with her on this project.

[24:06] I don't think you should just throw it by the wayside.

[24:09] I don't know how many businesses we have in that area pretending to have business.

[24:14] When we really want to business in Pompano, we work hard to make sure we get that business in there.

[24:19] And I think you should make an exception and work with her on what she needs.

[24:24] Thank you.

[24:25] Here.

[24:26] Mr. Moss, yes.

[24:27] And this post down to where he said she said, we do not know the details.

[24:31] I welcome receiving a detailed outline of what's happened.

[24:35] And we shouldn't be making any assumptions about motives or anything else.

[24:40] So, Mr.

[24:43] City Manager, if you would please get that report to us, we can then make an educated decision.

[24:49] Right now, it's, he said, she said.

[24:52] Yes, that's a device mayor.

[24:54] Yes, now I'm looking forward to a full understanding of everything.

[24:57] I just want to, just because this has been on the record.

[25:00] Record of stuff that, you know, when we act as landlords, I want to make sure any future tenant coming in realizes, you know, if you're come, if we have to act as a landlord as well, that, you know, pulling demo permits is a huge thing. It's probably a disqual far from the lease. It's dangerous. And just make sure that if you're hiring either commercial contractor, regular GC, either way, that they fully understand that these are historic buildings, their old construction, a lot of them have concrete roofs, and it's not your normal buildouts.

[25:28] So to make sure that, you know, it's, that they're fully vetted and able to do the projects that they promise you as well.

[25:37] Right. So the itemized list that he's going to give you is missing that I came in on the 20s, which they said they sent out a certified letter on the 20s.

[25:48] If you look on the email, those things are missing off of that detailed document that he's going to present to you.

[25:55] I do provide you a full.

[25:57] Yes, we're going to get a full report from our staff, and I'm sure that you've got all of our email addresses also.

[26:11] And all those emails that you've got, I'm sure you're going to want to forward all those to us also.

[26:17] So we have a complete full understanding of what's going on, and I expect this issue will be revisited again.

[26:24] but I do appreciate your efforts and I appreciate you being here and bringing this to our attention, although it is an administrative matter, but I think staff is going to look at this again, okay?

[26:35] Okay. Thank you, appreciate.

[26:38] That concludes our audience to be heard there.

[26:41] All right, very good. Thank you for that.

[26:44] That takes us up to our regular agenda. Item number one is a resolution.

[26:47] A resolution of the Pompeo Beach community redevelopment agency approving and

[26:52] authorizing the proper officials to execute a development incentive agreement

[26:56] between the CRA and Doorways LLC developer for the property located at 101 Northwest

[27:01] 12th Street, providing an effective date.

[27:04] So moved.

[27:04] Second.

[27:05] Move, Dan.

[27:05] Second for discussion.

[27:07] Good afternoon, Ms. Mulder.

[27:08] Good afternoon.

[27:09] Mayor, vice mayor, commissioners, Sarah Mulder, project manager for the CRA.

[27:13] I'm here to present to you a real estate development accelerator application from INB Medical Associates.

[27:20] So here you'll see an aerial view of the property and question located at 101 Northwest 12th Street.

[27:25] It is owned by Doors LLC, the net site area is about 63,000 square feet.

[27:32] It's zoned B3 general business, it's currently commercial vacant.

[27:37] The proposed use is a medical facility and the tenant that's proposing to go in as I and B medical associates.

[27:46] The current site conditions, this is as of May 1st, so they are actively under construction.

[27:51] However, the improvements they are seeking reimbursement for have not been completed at this time.

[27:58] The proposed site plan, they are proposing 11,588 square foot medical facility with 15 offices, 15 exam rooms.

[28:07] and just under 3,000 square foot wellness center and gym for seniors.

[28:12] And then just under 5,000 square foot building for

[28:15] future expansion of an onsite pharmacy.

[28:19] We're also proposing 52 parking spaces, public ride-of-way landscaping, and a courtyard.

[28:26] This image shows the exterior elevations from the street view.

[28:33] And then the proposed business is INB Medical Associates.

[28:37] They were founded in North Miami.

[28:39] They are a well-established internal medicine practice, specializing in comprehensive healthcare services,

[28:45] such as physical exams, after hours lab testing, chronic disease management, and coordinated care.

[28:51] They take a holistic approach to health and wellness and focus on mental, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being for overall primary care.

[29:00] Their current patient's profile is poverty level and the uninsured, providing an important service to the community.

[29:06] I do want to note that their Miami location was seeing an influx of patients that lived in

[29:13] Pompano Beach, so this is showing a need for this type of service in our community, and

[29:18] also why they chose this location to expand their business operations.

[29:23] The economic impacts, there was a full third-party economic impact analysis report that was provided

[29:29] in your backup, but what I do want to highlight here is that from the time construction is started

[29:34] until the end of the first year of operation,

[29:37] the economic impact on the local economy

[29:39] is estimated to be about nine and a half million.

[29:45] As far as the actual incentive,

[29:47] the RIDA is a phased program

[29:49] that provides larger incentives to developers

[29:52] during the initial development stage.

[29:54] The phase that we're in now provides

[29:56] about 60% reimbursement on infrastructure improvements.

[30:00] And what they've applied for as far as their project is for sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, water and sewer service, Dixie highway, MOT, landscaping, irrigation, site lighting, etc. The total project estimated construction costs is over $7 million. The total eligible project costs for the infrastructure under this application is $328,881, which would put them eligible for a reimbursement of $100,000.

[30:34] So the conditions for reimbursement is that they must construct the 11,000 square foot medical facility and 5,000 square foot pharmacy.

[30:43] The improvements will be used solely for that purpose and for no other use, such as drug rehabilitation, medical marijuana, dispensary, or any other use.

[30:52] The work performance be to the satisfaction of the building official, they must be complete and

[30:56] open for occupancy by May 31st, 2026, the developer shall obtain necessary permits, agreements,

[31:03] and licenses, and insure sufficient parking.

[31:06] The developer continues to operate the medical facility and onsite pharmacy.

[31:10] No other use will be acceptable.

[31:13] All taxes of any type assessed against or incurred by the property shall have been paid before

[31:19] reimbursement.

[31:20] And the developer continues to maintain the property with no pending code violations.

[31:25] Any default in the above conditions would result in a 30-day notice followed by a termination

[31:32] of this agreement and repayment of the incentive back to the CRA.

[31:37] The timeline, per the contract, as I mentioned, that work must be completed and open for occupancy,

[31:42] no later than 24 months, which would put them at about May 2026, although the developer

[31:49] doesn't anticipate being completed within 12 months.

[31:54] And with that, I actually have Robert Lockrey, who is representing the developer to give a short presentation unless you want to ask me any questions before he comes up.

[32:04] We'll go ahead with the presentations.

[32:10] Afternoon, sir.

[32:11] Good afternoon, Chair, Vice Chair, members of the board.

[32:14] Robert Lockrey on behalf of the applicant.

[32:16] Your staff has done such a thorough job of going over all the specifics of it.

[32:20] I don't know that I have a lot to add, but certainly can answer any questions you may have.

[32:24] We do want to show you a rendering of the project as it is currently under construction.

[32:29] This is what it's going to look like when it's complete.

[32:31] With me today are the principals, Dr. Brasult and Dr. Innocent of INB Medical Services, they're here as well.

[32:38] The only thing I would add because again, I think your staff presentation was excellent in going over all the different parameters and the benefits.

[32:44] I do want to also point out that in showing their commitment to the City of Pompano Beach, the developer is using a local architect.

[32:51] They're using a local contractor to build a building, and in fact that contractor has hired nine

[32:56] Pompano Beach subs to work on the project for the major sub aspects of it.

[33:01] That's to get us through the construction process.

[33:03] Then when actual staffing takes place, and of course, as it has been indicating your backup,

[33:08] there's about 17 new full-time jobs that will be located at this location.

[33:12] We are coordinating with Renee Matthews, who's your new job placement manager, and

[33:17] And we'll be working with the city to try to fill those jobs to the extent they can be filled from folks from the city of Pompano Beach.

[33:23] So again, we do have some more information we can share.

[33:25] I think it's all been covered in the back up and in the additional materials that are happy to answer any questions.

[33:29] Very good, thank you for that, and I appreciate that commitment to our local workers.

[33:33] I appreciate that.

[33:35] All right, then we'll go ahead and open it up to the public at this point in time.

[33:38] This is a public hearing, is there any input from the public?

[33:41] Please come forward, just name and address for the record.

[33:47] Mayor, commissioners, city staff, let me say that I am a pleasantly pleased at what I've heard about this organization has come in, but in the interim, I'm also very, very pleased that they're doing it in the northwest and in the area that they're doing it needs some attention and with this it is drawing the kind of attention that needs to, let's say, improve the neighborhood.

[34:18] also having said that and I'd like for you here carefully what I'm about to say

[34:23] because of what I witness here. It is it behooves the city of which they've

[34:31] always done to practice where possible the spirit of inclusion. Often times it

[34:39] It is painful to include, but it is rewarding.

[34:45] And so I must say that as I rise to be supportive of these gentlemen coming to the neighborhood,

[34:54] in particular, they must have heard someone say how locals, because it's very important

[34:59] I'm leaving.

[35:00] I want to spend the kind of money you're spending, we have to show folks that we're serious about including our residents and the workforce here. We can't have developers charge the kind of money they're charging for folks to live here, and we can't find work for our residents. So if that end, thank you to that group. To the other end, I must tell you that I am a resident of Pompano. And I'll close by saying this. The name McLeod goes very far with me.

[35:30] and this city. Thank you.

[35:33] Excuse me, sir. Name an address for the record, please.

[35:36] My name is Edward Warfield Phillips.

[35:40] Juggity, I currently resided 384 Northwest, 19th Street,

[35:44] Pompano Beach, Florida.

[35:46] Thank you.

[35:46] Next speaker.

[35:50] Just name an address for the record.

[35:53] Yes, Roger Phillips, 26200 Northwood, 10th Street, Pompano Beach, Florida.

[36:01] Yes, commissioners, I want to say, this facility is what we need.

[36:10] When I think about this medical facility, I'm thinking about the growth that we have right in the community around this facility where we have housing at least about 2,000 more people coming in.

[36:25] I mean, this facility is God's, because it's going to take, it's going to take the burden

[36:30] of early care of a lot of, a lot of other facilities, because this was right on time.

[36:37] I don't know if God planning it, but it had been God, because this facility is open up

[36:42] in a time of where we are really going to need it, also with the influx of people we will

[36:49] have coming to Pompano, this facility is going to be a help and not hurt.

[36:56] So, thank you for allowing them to post up in a great city of Pompano Beach, Florida.

[37:04] Very good, thank you, sir.

[37:06] Further input from the public, please come forward.

[37:12] Good afternoon, sir, and thank you for your services at the county commission level, appreciated.

[37:16] Thank you so much, Mayor Vice Mayor, commissioners, and city staff.

[37:20] good afternoon. This certainly is a great project for the community. I've worked with them.

[37:27] I actually invited all of you to attend the groundbreaking ceremony and you weren't

[37:33] able to but staff gave and I think them come and were impressed by what is going to be

[37:39] done on this site. Certainly would be an uplift to the neighborhood but it'll provide service

[37:45] for those who are in need of service, and it is a facility that will help generate health,

[37:53] but also bring the community together. Part of their program is to bring the community in

[37:58] for community gathering and help the senior citizens connect and be entertained and entertain themselves.

[38:07] There's a great thing that they've done in North Miami. Part of what they have committed to do,

[38:13] certainly you've heard, Ed spoke of it, staff did, is to ensure that

[38:18] Pompano Beach residents are benefitting, and those who know me know that I'm about building community.

[38:25] And that is what they're here to do.

[38:27] They'll also engage further in ensuring that many of your nonprofits and

[38:32] entities that do good in the community get support from them as well as sponsor that, like Tiger Trail Festival,

[38:39] the popular BGMLK program, both of them, we've had conversation with that going forward.

[38:46] They will work to sponsor them.

[38:48] They also want to make sure that the word is out and they create the good will to get

[38:52] the customer base in, and I'll be helping with them on the outreach to the community as they

[38:58] go forward.

[38:58] And they've committed already to MLK and Tiger Trail Festival to make sure that they're

[39:03] doing something to help those good programs that you are supporting as sponsors here in

[39:08] in the city. Thank you so much for your support of this very important item.

[39:12] Before you leave, just name an address.

[39:14] They'll hold this 4325 by Sunrise Boulevard in Plantation, Florida.

[39:20] Very good. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it.

[39:21] And what's again, thank you for your service.

[39:23] Further input from the public, please come forward.

[39:30] Seeing none, public input closed, commission discussion.

[39:35] This, Mulder, did this, this particular project, was it a zoning change or anything?

[39:41] It was just it's just built per code correct got you okay cuz yeah, I know it hasn't been before us before for anything

[39:48] But but I do recall being invited to the ground breaking I recall that thank you commissioner wholeness for that

[39:54] But yeah, I haven't seen it before but I have seen it coming up going up on Dixie highway

[39:58] I think it's a great addition. It's really gonna

[40:00] Be a tremendous asset for us, not to mention the tax base that's going to generate for the City of Pomp and of each also. Commissioner Fournier. Thank you, Mayor. I agree. And thank you for the invitation. Sorry, we couldn't make it. But this investment on Dixie Highway is, it looks, it's going to improve that section and how it looks. I do view this as a partnership because this is grant funding.

[40:27] So, I appreciate you reciprocating with that and viewing it as a partnership as well and

[40:33] hope to continue that.

[40:35] I had one question, one for Ms. Mulder and one for the applicant.

[40:41] So the combination of medical and pharmacy just makes me pause.

[40:46] My doctor's office doesn't have a pharmacy I've never had the convenience of being able

[40:50] to get prescriptions from a doctor at the same facility and it always makes me nervous

[40:54] given some of the issues we've had in the past.

[40:58] So is the pharmacy required and what is the, I mean, I understand the synergies of that.

[41:06] Is it regulated?

[41:10] Thank you, Commissioner.

[41:11] Robert Locker again on behalf of the applicant.

[41:13] Yeah, and it is considered a future phase because it's as need demands.

[41:17] It is an additional service that they can provide.

[41:19] Some doctors do provide that, mine doesn't either, but I know my mom does.

[41:23] So it does provide that basically like a one-stop shop for particularly elderly patients who are there.

[41:29] It also allows them to encourage the medications are taken that folks stay on the schedule.

[41:34] So it is a proposal as a future phase as part of that.

[41:37] Generally, they work with CVS or Walgreens on actually distributing that and how all that works.

[41:42] But the concept is to bring it to this location as a means of essentially ease for their patients.

[41:48] Okay. Does the facility in Miami have a pharmacy?

[41:51] Yes, it does.

[41:53] It does.

[41:53] Yeah.

[41:54] Thank you.

[41:55] And then I had just one question about this program.

[41:58] So we're in phase two of it, which is, you know, this year.

[42:02] Have we given out in this phase two a grant this size?

[42:05] Because it obviously requires a large investment from a private entity to be eligible for this grant.

[42:11] Not in this phase.

[42:13] This will be the first.

[42:14] This incentive program is made for projects over $5 million.

[42:18] So we just haven't had one of that size in this time, right?

[42:23] It requires a big investment, so thank you very much.

[42:25] Very good, Commissioner Moss.

[42:27] Yeah, I think from the Sierra in the city standpoint, I mean, this project checks off all of our boxes of what we would like to have in the Billings Attractive.

[42:35] It serves a very real need in the community, we're going to be hiring local people, giving jobs.

[42:41] I mean, I think this is a win-win all the way around, and the good doctors, we thank you for thinking about Pompano Beach and coming here.

[42:47] So I think it's a no-brainer, thanks.

[42:52] Very good.

[42:53] Further commission discussion?

[42:54] Vice mayor?

[42:55] You know, I'd just like to thank the applicant for coming to

[42:58] Fompo was such a great business.

[43:02] This is exactly the type of investment from the private sector that we've

[43:05] worked so hard to get to by our investment in the public sector,

[43:08] along to the highway corridor and in the downtown area and everything there.

[43:11] So I'm excited to see that you guys see it as well and welcome to

[43:15] Fompo, hopefully.

[43:16] There you go, Commissioner Seagrason-Eden.

[43:18] Thank you, Mayor.

[43:19] Yes, also, I echo all the sentiments that have been spoken great to have you here.

[43:26] Thank you for coming to Pompano, and we're looking forward to it, so thank you.

[43:31] Very good, for the Commissioner's discussion, questions, concerns, seeing none.

[43:35] Let's go ahead and call the roll.

[43:36] Commissioner Fornier?

[43:38] Yes.

[43:38] Commissioner Moss?

[43:39] Yes.

[43:40] Commissioner Perkins?

[43:41] Yes.

[43:41] Commissioner Seagrason-Eden?

[43:43] Yes.

[43:43] Vice Chair McGee?

[43:45] Yes.

[43:46] Thank you.

[43:47] Item number two is a resolution.

[43:50] A resolution of the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency approving an authorizing

[43:55] the proper officials to execute an agreement for architectural design services from $1,723,839

[44:03] for the McNabb House and Bectanical Gardens project between the CRA and Bermello-Ajamellen

[44:09] partners LLC providing an effective date.

[44:12] So moved.

[44:12] Second.

[44:12] Okay.

[44:13] Dan, second for discussion.

[44:14] Once again, Ms. Mulder.

[44:15] Yes.

[44:16] Good afternoon, Sarah Mulder, CRA Project Manager.

[44:19] And I'm here to present to you an architectural and design services agreement

[44:22] for McNabb House and Botanical Gardens.

[44:26] So just to give you an overview of how we got here and a little bit about why it's taken this time.

[44:33] In 2019, Bermello, Agilem Partners, or BA, prepared a minor site plan for the relocation

[44:39] of the House and Garage and then completed a conceptual master plan which was

[44:43] approved by the CRA Board in May of 2022.

[44:47] Then in November 2022, the CRA Board approved an unsolicited proposal from Madroom Hospitality

[44:53] and authorized staff to begin negotiations.

[44:56] During this process, it became apparent that changes must be-

[45:00] We made to the conceptual master plan to accommodate the operations and programming, and then due to procurement thresholds under CCNA statues. And RFQ was issued in July of 2023 to establish a contract to provide architecture design services to the CRA for this project. In August 2023, the CRA board approved the rankings and authorized staff to enter into a contract with VA, which is why we're here today to seek approval of the contract. I do

[45:29] In regards to the timeline and the time it took to get to this point, I just want to note

[45:34] that the negotiations were a highly involved process, there were several sub-consultants

[45:39] and several disciplines involved, and then also during this time, CRA staff enlisted

[45:45] the assistance of qualified city staff from other departments to review the scope and make

[45:50] sure that nothing was missing.

[45:54] The project team, so due to the complexity of this project, BA has established a skilled

[45:59] team of 11 sub-consultants that are experts in their fields, including restaurant architecture

[46:05] and kitchen design, aquatic engineering, irrigation design among others.

[46:12] The scope of services, you'll see here is to finalize the illustrative master plan.

[46:17] This is based on the architectural programming and negotiations with that restaurant operator.

[46:22] The city's site plan approval process, cost estimating, operation of detailed construction

[46:28] drawings at 30, 60, and 90% and then the regulatory permitting process.

[46:34] As far as meetings that are part of the scope, I just want to highlight a few here that

[46:38] there will be two public presentations.

[46:41] We will determine the format based upon what the needs are, whether it's another presentation

[46:45] to you all as the board or another public input meeting as we get further into the process.

[46:51] Then there will also be an East CRA advisory committee presentation.

[46:54] This shows you a high-level cost breakdown by task, which is totaling about $1.7 million,

[47:03] not including their reimbursable expenses, which are not to exceed $7,500.

[47:08] And to put this in a perspective, the architectural fees in relation to the current construction

[47:13] estimate for this project is about 7.4%.

[47:16] So the national average of landscape architectural fees in relation to construction costs

[47:22] range anywhere from 5% to 20% so this shows that they're on the lower end of this.

[47:29] And then the timeline and kind of the next steps for this.

[47:32] So June 3rd, 2024, the construction manager at RISC RFQ responses are due.

[47:38] So it's important that we get this seam on board with the design team so that they can provide

[47:43] pre-construction phase services such as detailed cost estimating, knowledge of marketplace conditions

[47:50] they'll provide constructability review input on availability of materials in today's market

[47:57] and value engineering using a comparative cost benefit analysis. And we want to do this at the

[48:02] start during design so that issues don't arise later during construction. And then in December 2025

[48:09] is when we're roughly estimating the 100% construction drawings to be finalized. And this is just the

[48:15] realistic time frame to get through the city's major site plan approval process. However,

[48:19] the city and the design team, you know, will do whatever it takes within their powers to try to expedite this process.

[48:26] And then within 30 days of those drawings, the construction manager at risk will submit a proposal to assume the risk of delivering the project through a guaranteed maximum price, which will then be used the following month to bid out for construction.

[48:42] And that concludes my presentation, and I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you.

[48:46] Yeah.

[48:46] Very good.

[48:47] Thank you for that.

[48:47] This is a public hearing.

[48:49] Is there any input from the public on this item?

[48:53] Please come forward.

[48:54] Just name and address for the record.

[49:00] Mayor of the Commission, Mr. Stair.

[49:02] I currently reside at 344 North West 19th Street, Papua New Beach.

[49:05] Just a quick question.

[49:08] Which CRA is this?

[49:09] The East sort of North East CRA?

[49:13] I'm going to sound redundant, but you know, oftentimes on the E-CRA,

[49:18] we don't feel a spirit of inclusion.

[49:19] So, when it comes to the work component, please ensure if at all possible the spirit of inclusion.

[49:28] Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.

[49:30] My name is A. Fillips, I currently is at 3 to 4 and I was 19th Street, Pompano Beach, thank you.

[49:35] That's your address, but not the name.

[49:37] Thank you, sir, for the input from the public.

[49:41] Seeing none, public input closed.

[49:42] Commission discussion, questions, concerns, vice mayor.

[49:46] I'm just very excited to see this move in a long, I know it's taken longer than any of us really wanted it to.

[49:52] But with the project like this, especially dealing with the historic components in the park and all the different moving parts, I really do appreciate the

[50:00] The attention to detail and energy staff has put into each step of us. So, thank you. Very good. Further comments? Mr. Fornier? Thank you. I'm also happy to see this. I know behind the scenes you've been working hard, but I get a lot of questions about this house and the sign of John it that says coming soon. It's been sitting there for three, four years now. So I look at this timeline and

[50:28] And at best case, we're talking 2026 to start construction, and these things tend to take

[50:38] longer, nothing actually seems to go according to schedules.

[50:41] So in the meantime, I know BSO and FPI have done a lot of work at that park, and I appreciate

[50:49] that because it is definitely a spot for people hanging out, there's drug use, there's other

[50:56] other things to go on there.

[50:59] So what can we do in the meantime to that area to

[51:05] activate it, clean it up and prove it?

[51:07] I don't know exactly, but what can be done so that I don't have,

[51:13] we don't have to answer questions constantly about this,

[51:15] that park and what's going on there and when,

[51:18] because we're in this for years longer.

[51:22] If I may, so I can address one thing,

[51:25] The coming soon signs have been replaced with just directing people to the the website as far as the front half because it's an active construction site, you know, in liability issues, there's we have to keep that fenced off as far as the back of the park.

[51:42] I, I

[51:51] think the parts of the problem because it's not an activate, so, you know, as Sarah said, we don't want to fence the whole park off, we want the public still to use it while it's there until we have some movement then, and we can, we can proceed with our plans to renovate the park, we can, we can talk to the designers and maybe one, one of those public input sessions is to have an interactive type of, you know, put dots on

[52:19] areas of where you want the gardens to be, and we'll talk with them on the public outreach.

[52:25] But, like I said, the reason why the park is like that is because of no activation.

[52:30] So we'll come up with something created.

[52:33] Yeah, that's what you're asking.

[52:36] I mean, you asked how to activate the park.

[52:38] Right, so I guess what I'm asking is in the meantime, since we have a couple of years,

[52:42] I understand the front is a construction site, and there's been a lot of work done to the house

[52:46] that people don't see with the waterproofing of a basement, a new roof.

[52:50] I understand that there has been work going on in that part of the property.

[52:55] But is there anything in the meantime that can be done to activate the back part of the

[52:59] park, the basketball courts, the playground, I don't want to invest money that we're going

[53:03] to throw away in a couple of years, but is there any slim down plan or something that can

[53:08] be done?

[53:09] There are a lot of families in that area, there are kids, is there anything that can be done

[53:15] to make that park useful for the next two years.

[53:19] That's a challenge because, you know, when FPI goes out there or BS goes out there,

[53:26] there's a lot of loitering that goes on, there's a lot of sleep in the park, it's not illegal

[53:31] to do it.

[53:32] I think that deters a lot of people from using the park is what happens there.

[53:38] So I guess we're moving forward, we will talk to the designers and see if we can come up

[53:43] with something in the meantime to try to activate it a little more.

[53:48] This is a chicken and egg problem, right?

[53:49] Like, I would never ring my kids there because I don't think it's safe park to bring my kids to.

[53:54] And that's why we're doing this project is because the park doesn't work the way it is.

[53:58] But we've been, I think it's been four years, it's going to be at least two or three more.

[54:01] So I guess I'm just asking if there's something we can take a look at in the meantime if we're not fencing it off,

[54:06] because there's parts of it that are usable to continue finding maybe ways to activate that back half

[54:11] of the park for sort of residents to risk.

[54:14] We will continue to some ideas, yes.

[54:16] Thank you.

[54:17] Very good.

[54:17] Vice mayor?

[54:19] More to the next meeting and I know I've brought this up a couple of times with both the Beach Park and that part is just perhaps we can look into more visual visible presence between park rangers or the NBSO to really make a presence there.

[54:36] I know the state law has changed so there might be a little bit more action.

[54:41] we can take to deter the people who are nearly residing in the parks and try and really clear that out,

[54:48] you know, a lot of people in that neighborhood, I know, use the tennis court, they use the basketball

[54:53] court, they do go over there, it is a deterrent, but I do think maybe a higher presence for the

[55:00] Safety and security side could be a first answer because obviously it's hard to activate it so much or invest into it knowing we're being tearing it down. So yeah, I think that might be a step one. And then, you know, just maybe while we're doing that, too, just sort of request that the organizations that tend to, you know, reach out and bring foods for the people who are there could coordinate with our homeless shelter, coordinate with other entities and maybe make even a better effect than they do currently.

[55:30] I'd also maybe ask when we're doing community outreach, we can reach out to the neighborhood

[55:33] directly and see where on the timeline they would like to see us start the demo projects.

[55:40] You know, if we can't start sooner on anything, you know, is that a trade-off that they would

[55:44] prefer?

[55:45] So I would say that maybe we add that into our outreach and just see what, take the temperature

[55:50] of what the neighborhood there feels.

[55:52] I know in the beginning they wanted to access to it as long as possible, but we can figure

[55:56] out where on the spectrum that actually is.

[56:01] Mr. Speaker, I'm really glad this is moving forward.

[56:06] I too wish it could go a little faster, but in the end, it's going to be a great asset for our city, and I'm glad we're moving forward.

[56:14] Thank you.

[56:15] Very good, but vice mayor's got a very good point.

[56:20] Is it an issue something we really should think about?

[56:23] It's if there's some way that we could pull the residents in that area, because the residents in the area,

[56:28] the only people who really utilize those park facilities and if they don't see a need for

[56:36] the basketball courts and the top lot and the only thing that ever gets used is the

[56:41] tennis courts. I mean, we could fence everything else off and just leave access to the tennis courts

[56:46] and that would eliminate probably 99% of the folks that are just, you know, they're constantly

[56:57] that create angst for folks in the neighborhood.

[57:00] So that's something to consider, and I'm not sure, of course, we don't want to spend a whole bunch of money

[57:05] doing, you know, outreach and all this, but something because, yeah, if we fence it off,

[57:10] that solves that problem, at least until we get a completely rebuilt and reactivated.

[57:15] But I know there are folks that still use some of those facilities, the tennis courts are really prime,

[57:21] most often, but that's a great idea.

[57:23] So yeah.

[57:24] the Commissioner of discussion, thank you Mayor.

[57:29] This project, I've noticed along the way, very detailed.

[57:35] A lot of time has been put into it.

[57:37] A lot of strategy, a lot of planning, just a lot of details and

[57:41] everything has done step by step and this is part of what staff can do when

[57:48] experts get involved and make something really happen.

[57:51] So, I've noticed the whole process of this botanical garden and just to say that when staff

[58:01] really wants to make something work and make it effective, this is how it's done.

[58:07] Thank you.

[58:08] Very good.

[58:08] Thank you.

[58:09] For the commission discussion.

[58:11] Seeing none.

[58:12] Let's go ahead and call the roll.

[58:13] Commissioner Foneir?

[58:14] Yes.

[58:15] Commissioner Moss?

[58:16] Yes.

[58:17] Commissioner Perkins?

[58:18] Yes.

[58:19] Commissioner Seger-Cinne?

[58:20] Yes.

[58:21] Mr. Chair McGee.

[58:22] Yes.

[58:23] Chair Harden.

[58:24] Yes.

[58:24] Great.

[58:25] Item 3 is a resolution.

[58:26] A resolution of the Pompeno Beach Community Redevelopment Agency recommending that the City Commission approve the amended E-CRA plan, providing an effective date and further purposes.

[58:37] So moved.

[58:37] Second.

[58:38] Second.

[58:38] Second for discussion.

[58:39] Good afternoon, Ms. Vazquez.

[58:41] Good afternoon, Chair.

[58:42] Chairboards, members, Kimberly Vasquez, Senior Project Manager for the CRA.

[58:46] The item for you today is an amendment to the E-CRA plan.

[58:53] The plan was adopted originally back in 2002 and was last amended in 2013.

[58:58] The plan before you today is required substantial updates and

[59:02] a strike through and underline as well as a clean version were provided as part of your backup.

[59:06] A highlight overview of the plan is it outlines your overall goals and objectives.

[59:16] It identifies your projects, your initiatives, and plan that are planned for the area.

[59:22] And this plan is required under state statute 163 Part 3.

[59:27] The amendments to the plan reflect current priorities, market conditions, complies with the chapter 163 Part 3.

[59:34] It's updating your goals, projects and initiatives, and it will extend the life of the CRA.

[59:40] The plan is fluid, and it can come to you for updates and changing needs as the changes

[59:45] of the area are changed.

[59:49] Your boundary is approximately 158 acres, and it contains various uses.

[59:54] The plan is broken out into seven sections, which include an exact-

[1:00:00] Executive summary, background information, and a summary of certain statutory requirements in the plan. Existing conditions, needs opportunities, projects and programs, financial analysis and projections, which is really your five-year finance plan that comes to you annually. And it also contains supporting data and documentation.

[1:00:22] The amendments to the plan per section include Section 1 as an executive summary, as your introduction we updated the information.

[1:00:30] Under background we just outlined your accomplishments and we recognize redevelopment opportunities moving forward.

[1:00:38] In the future we updated your initiatives objectives and priorities and under the organization of the plan there were no changes that it has remained the same.

[1:00:47] Section 2 is your background information, we updated your information in the introduction.

[1:00:54] Under authority to undertake community redevelopment, we really updated the language that was specific to the act of chapter 163, part three.

[1:01:02] And that really covers your creation, the amendment to the plan, the powers of the CRA and the CRA area.

[1:01:09] The CRA plan, we updated your redevelopment activities as authorized by this act.

[1:01:15] And then also it extends the duration of the ECRA for an additional 30 years after the initial

[1:01:22] term which expires December 31, 2031.

[1:01:27] Under section 3, which is the summary of existing conditions, we updated the language, maps,

[1:01:32] and pictures.

[1:01:34] Your census data has now reflects 2020, census data was 2010 originally.

[1:01:39] We updated 2022 data for your traffic data, and then we recognized your current conditions

[1:01:46] of housing and building conditions, and then your geographic sub-arries are really

[1:01:50] two areas.

[1:01:51] It's Atlantic Boulevard commercial, which is west of the intercostal waterway, and then

[1:01:56] the beach, which is really your barrier island.

[1:01:59] Your regulatory framework is really updating those zoning regulations, which is your Atlantic

[1:02:04] overlay district, as well as your east overlay district.

[1:02:08] Section 4 which was the analysis of needs and opportunities really updated the problems, the needs and the opportunities of those two sub areas in quite detail.

[1:02:18] We revised an update of redevelopment areas that need to be addressed under functional needs and the market conditions really we reflect, you know, what was as per the current conditions which really is your retail office industrial tourism and housing.

[1:02:34] neighborhood impacts was really just minor and edits we really didn't have a lot that had

[1:02:39] to be edited through that part. And then consistency with the city's comp plan, that's

[1:02:45] as per state statute that a CRA plan must be consistent with the city's comprehensive plan.

[1:02:53] Under Section 5, which is really your programs and initiatives, we did update completed programs

[1:02:58] and initiatives and we eliminated non-eligible CRA activities. And then we updated your project

[1:03:05] objectives and a description which is really going into more detail of McNap as well as the beach area.

[1:03:12] Programs and regulatory actions really updated the reference to the comp plan as well as your land

[1:03:17] development regulations and then sources of redevelopment funding and finances.

[1:03:23] It's the different sources of funding and we eliminated programs that no longer are in existence.

[1:03:28] It's all the funding sources that are available to a CRA.

[1:03:32] Section 6 really references your five-year strategic finance plan, like I said, that comes

[1:03:36] to you and you will be as part of your budget.

[1:03:39] The East Advisory Committee did review these amendments to the East Plan and they did

[1:03:44] recommend approval at their second meeting.

[1:03:47] At this time, we're recommending a staff, the approval of the amended plan, and to forward

[1:03:52] a recommendation of approval to the City Commission, sitting as the governing board of the CRA

[1:03:57] at the next City Commission meeting of June 11th.

[1:03:59] That concludes my presentation, I'll take any questions the Board may have at this time.

[1:04:04] Very good, thank you for that.

[1:04:05] This is a public hearing, is there any input from the public on this item?

[1:04:13] Just name and address for the note, record please.

[1:04:16] Yes, Phil, it's 3-4-1-0, what's 19-street, popular beach?

[1:04:19] Now, you got to guess, you can see where I come down, sparingly, to this commission.

[1:04:23] You haven't seen it yet.

[1:04:24] I'm going to try and stay in my lane.

[1:04:27] Just a quick question on this.

[1:04:30] With the Section 2, the traffic data, what do you do?

[1:04:36] We actually had that traffic data in both plans and we recognize the main thoroughfares and we pull it from, I can't remember the actual site that we pull it from but it's actual data that's traffic traffic counts, so it gives us the data from those main thoroughfares.

[1:04:53] Here it was Atlantic Boulevard, I believe A1A was also part of it is where we pulled that data from.

[1:04:58] to do what?

[1:05:00] It just gives us a count of how much traffic goes through the area. I'm going to sit down, but I want to see, again, to do what.

[1:05:10] Very good. Thank you. Further input from the public. Seeing none, public input closed, commission discussion, questions, concerns, kind of commissioner for any. Thank you, Mayor. I appreciate all the work that went into updating this. I shared my concerns about extending the East CRA at our budget hearings.

[1:05:29] and I maintain those concerns.

[1:05:33] When I looked at this, especially under the authority

[1:05:36] to undertake community redevelopment,

[1:05:38] I asked myself if we drew the map today,

[1:05:42] or let's say in seven years, in 2031,

[1:05:45] of these 158 acres in the East CRA,

[1:05:48] would we actually be able to say to ourselves

[1:05:50] that we need to eliminate all this slum and blight

[1:05:54] and reduce crime, and it says for the provision

[1:05:59] of affordable housing, whether for rent or sale to residents of low or moderate income,

[1:06:04] including the elderly, redevelopment or rehabilitation or revitalization of a coastal resort.

[1:06:10] So that part is, you know, resonated in tourist areas that are deteriorating and economically distressed.

[1:06:17] And I read that and I said, that's not at all what our ECRI looks like anymore.

[1:06:22] So for me, by 2031, I think that we should all be taking a victory lack there.

[1:06:28] And it is time to give the windfall, the tip funding, back to the residents who have

[1:06:38] for the last 30 years been paying for this and whether it's in the form of a tax cut

[1:06:43] or this money being spread throughout the city in different ways, that it's probably time

[1:06:49] to sunset the CRA.

[1:06:51] I know we have big projects like McNabbhouse and parking garage, perhaps there's some kind

[1:06:57] of P3s that can be done there that don't require extending the CRA, but I just don't personally

[1:07:04] think that reading this description of what the authority to undertake a CRA that that

[1:07:12] area needs it and certainly by 2031 that it won't. So that's my thoughts on this. The plan

[1:07:20] is great. It's a success story. I know there's some small areas and I know that you want

[1:07:25] I'm going to use this extension in order to get bond funding for the McNabb House and understand the logic behind it.

[1:07:32] But I guess I think the people who invested in this for the last 30 years should start to see some of that money back in the former tax cuts.

[1:07:40] So thank you.

[1:07:42] Very good.

[1:07:43] Thank you.

[1:07:44] Miss,

[1:07:46] a couple of questions.

[1:07:50] As far as extending the CRA, this board can dissolve the CRA district if we so choose, couldn't we, at any time?

[1:07:59] Just, no, we could decide, you know, in 15 years to dissolve it.

[1:08:05] Well, I mean, providing the bond fund, so the bond covenants would require us to have it.

[1:08:10] But because we're extending for an additional 30 years doesn't mean we have to leave it extended for 30 years, correct?

[1:08:15] That is correct.

[1:08:17] The CRA, this particular CRA was created before 2002.

[1:08:22] As for statute, we can do that additional 30 year extension because CRAs can exist for up to 60 years.

[1:08:30] Now, of course, the statutes have changed since that time.

[1:08:33] But we're going for the maximum allowed, but you are correct.

[1:08:36] We can't sunset prior to the end of that additional 30-year term.

[1:08:42] And just, I don't have it in front of me, but just for information sake off the top of your head,

[1:08:48] do you know how much in taxes we have in the E-C-R-A as far as the TIF funding?

[1:08:55] So if we dissolved it, the taxes going back to the general fund would be how much?

[1:09:00] Oxamit.

[1:09:01] Three million.

[1:09:02] Three million dollars.

[1:09:03] Is that about it?

[1:09:04] Is that about right?

[1:09:05] It's about, I think you get about 6 million right now in the ECRA from the three taxing authorities.

[1:09:11] If we do extend past that, do you go into the second 30-year extension period?

[1:09:16] We're recommending that you move forward without just City TIF only.

[1:09:20] Right.

[1:09:21] No other taxing authority dollars.

[1:09:23] So the City TIF is, is how much?

[1:09:26] It's about 3 million.

[1:09:27] Okay, about 3 million dollars.

[1:09:28] So that's, is how much to come back to the general fund, basically, if we didn't extend or dissolve at some point in time.

[1:09:35] Now, without the CRA participation, because I know that part of the plan, part of the plan

[1:09:44] verbiage talks about affordable housing.

[1:09:47] To get affordable housing, I mean, you have to have housing built.

[1:09:50] Number one is you have to have housing, and part of that is affordable housing.

[1:09:56] But without the investment from the CRA, would we have...

[1:10:00] The affordable housing that is being constructed by the mail-up project. That was one of those projects that we focus on household income. And one of the most important things in the East is that workforce housing raised, that moderate income from 80 to 120%. With respect to low income affordable, there are pockets over there in the East that are qualified tracks where it's an older, elderly development.

[1:10:29] that they're on fixed income, you'd be surprised at how many of those little pockets exist.

[1:10:35] So yes, affordable housing is still on our radar, and with the housing crisis as it is now,

[1:10:41] affordable housing is everywhere, we is needed.

[1:10:44] We're good, we're good, thank you, yes, vice mayor.

[1:10:48] Yeah, I know that we're thinking we're going to the future on this, but just looking at the map right now,

[1:10:55] So I can, I've all two projects that would hopefully have an affordable housing component that will not, that from all signs point will not be under construction by the sunset of the original CRI, so I think that would, I had a separate question though that Commissioner for News question kind of made me think about, is it possible at all to extend the map of the CRI, the map, because there are, there are areas of the beach a little further to the north that I would say still suffer from the slum blightedness

[1:11:26] It's a lovely extension of the CRA is quite, and I think I'll defer over to Claudio on that matter,

[1:11:32] but it would require the county to allow us to do that, and I don't know if that particular

[1:11:39] action would be attainable.

[1:11:41] On two fronts, the state law has made it more difficult to expand your boundaries.

[1:11:49] You would have to do a brand new finding a necessity study and determine your slum and

[1:11:54] lighted areas and meet all of the statutory criteria.

[1:11:58] In addition to that, you have an interlocal with the county and it provides that if you're

[1:12:04] going to expand your boundaries, then you definitely have to go back to the county

[1:12:07] to get approval.

[1:12:10] And as you know, most counties in Florida, including ours, have been frustrated by the structure

[1:12:22] of CRAs and how that works and what happens to the taxing authorities.

[1:12:29] So I don't know what kind of reception you would get at the county,

[1:12:33] but I know that we spent a number of years ending some very painful litigation with the county

[1:12:39] and came to an agreement that we wouldn't be looking to the taxing authorities

[1:12:44] for our redevelopment activities.

[1:12:46] My question would be, though, if we're not within the extension by itself, if we're no longer, you know, accepting from those taxing authorities anyways, would we be able to extend our boundaries?

[1:12:57] Same answer, you still, you would still have to, you know, we would certainly tell the taxing authorities, okay, we're not going to be looking at you, but you would still have to meet the statutory requirements for expanding your boundaries.

[1:13:10] Yeah, because it's specifically, I know there are kind of no entities that are further

[1:13:14] north on the beach.

[1:13:15] Some of the older sort of motel things that are still in existence that tend to have

[1:13:22] more BSO attention than other places, those types of things, if we start thinking outside

[1:13:28] the box.

[1:13:29] I don't think it's a rush on it, but yeah, there is, you know, we've done an amazing job

[1:13:33] with the beach, the R.A. and the development we've done there, and yeah, it is a success story

[1:13:37] for sure.

[1:13:37] But yeah, there's still projects that need to be finished and areas that need to be taken care of before I think we can close the book on it.

[1:13:44] Thank you.

[1:13:45] Very good. Mr. Foyne.

[1:13:47] Yeah, I just quickly want to follow up on a couple things.

[1:13:50] Can we encourage affordable housing projects without having a CRA in parts of our city?

[1:13:59] Assume so, right?

[1:14:00] There's no reason it has to be within a-

[1:14:02] And you can do all of the activities that the CRA does as a municipality.

[1:14:09] You have, you know, Chapter 166 that's your Municipal Homeral Powers Act, economic development,

[1:14:15] economic redevelopment.

[1:14:16] Those are all public purposes for which you can spend public funds.

[1:14:21] So you can certainly engage in projects outside of your CRA districts that you think need

[1:14:28] to have attention.

[1:14:29] Thank you.

[1:14:30] So we can encourage affordable housing out, even if there is no CRI in these areas.

[1:14:35] And the number of $3 million by 2031, it'll just the city of Pompo-no-Beech,

[1:14:42] it'll probably be closer to, I don't know, $3.5, in 2028, it's $3.4 million of just municipal taxes.

[1:14:49] So I just want to remind this board, when we're sitting in our budget hearings,

[1:14:52] and we can't come up with half a million dollars, this is what I'm talking about, this windfall,

[1:14:57] all this three and a half million would come back to

[1:15:00] The city in 2031, and it could be spent by the city, or go back to the people in the form of a tax cut. And the promise of redevelopment of taking this money and having siphoned it off for the last 23 years towards redevelopment is higher tax base. But it's also that if you've invested in it, you will see the return. One return is what they see in the city.

[1:15:29] and the improvements of our city, but another return is that there is an end to it, and they will see this money back at some point, and I would hope in the form of a tax reduction.

[1:15:39] But that's it. Thank you.

[1:15:41] Very good. Thank you. Vice Mayor.

[1:15:43] And as most everyone on the commission here knows, I have a strong eye trying to figure out where we can cut taxes, but I do believe.

[1:15:50] I would go out on the limb and say that I do think that the investments we've made in the ECR, I have brought in definitely more than $3.5 million in taxes back into our coffers to continue to beautify.

[1:15:59] by the BG area as our main tourist source and location of very highly assessed and tax properties.

[1:16:12] Commissioner Seagrassini?

[1:16:13] Yeah, I look at it from a little different perspective.

[1:16:19] First of all, counties are loathed to even create sea areas today.

[1:16:26] They've been a victim of their own success, and so with this extension I look at it as

[1:16:38] saving taxpayers money.

[1:16:40] We need a parking garage, for example,

[1:16:46] a CRA can bond the TIFF revenue goes to pay for

[1:16:50] the bond over time.

[1:16:52] That money for that parking garage is not coming out of the taxpayers' dollars, so I look

[1:16:59] We look at it as cost savings and we have the opportunity to extend it, to utilize it, to its highest and best use.

[1:17:09] I'm going to fully support this and I think it would be a great thing for our city as we move forward.

[1:17:14] Six years is just around the corner, there's no time at all.

[1:17:19] So that's, those are my thoughts, I think we would be, you know, I don't, I personally, I'm going to support this, 100%.

[1:17:27] Thank you.

[1:17:28] Very good.

[1:17:29] Thank you.

[1:17:30] Just the current plans that we have for the McNabb House property.

[1:17:38] If we were to allow the CRA to sunset in 2031, would we be able to complete the McNabb

[1:17:44] project?

[1:17:45] McNabb House project?

[1:17:49] Can I jump in?

[1:17:51] If we issue bonds, if our debt service extends beyond 31, we cannot

[1:17:59] I understand that.

[1:18:00] I understand that.

[1:18:01] Oh, okay.

[1:18:02] That's that wasn't my question.

[1:18:03] Okay. I miss it.

[1:18:03] I appreciate that input though.

[1:18:05] I feel like my question comes back.

[1:18:08] Okay.

[1:18:09] So if we don't extend, would we be able to bond?

[1:18:12] I think I think Ms. McKinnon just answered that question.

[1:18:15] I wasn't the question.

[1:18:16] If we don't extend and we can't bond, this project would not move forward at the rate that we

[1:18:23] would want it to, it would be a matter of having to budget annually for it, and therefore

[1:18:31] you would maybe max, I don't know a million, million and a half per year, and would it get

[1:18:36] built in that time frame? Probably not. This is going to allow us to bond and try to do

[1:18:44] the project within maybe a three year time frame.

[1:18:47] I mean, so in other words, the answer is if we don't extend, we don't get the McNabb House project done.

[1:18:53] Not completed all probably before the end of sunset of 2031.

[1:18:58] Okay, that's fair enough, that was kind of my estimation also.

[1:19:03] Mr. Tran, you want to add something?

[1:19:04] Yes, so I kind of wanted this to be put in a little more like an analogy, right?

[1:19:10] So the beach project is a success, everyone knows it has spurred development up and down the barrier island.

[1:19:18] We wouldn't never gotten all the luxury condos, we wouldn't never gotten the Rich Carlton or the Waldorf residences without the beach project.

[1:19:27] That's outside this hearing district.

[1:19:30] We have not done a huge project except for the mail-a, this McNabb project is very similar if not bigger than the beach project.

[1:19:40] project. We're doing the botanical gardens and how many cities really do a restaurant botanical

[1:19:47] gardens the way we're going to do it. What I'm saying is this project will spur development

[1:19:54] and way beyond our Siri boundaries on the mainland.

[1:20:00] I appreciate that. Yep, thank you. Further commission discussion? Seeing none, let's go ahead and call the roll. Mission four, near, no. Mission, no moths, yes. Mission, no perkins, no. Mission, no seeker, sin, yes,

[1:20:17] yes, yes, item four is a resolution. A resolution of the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency recommending that the City Commission approve the amended Northwest CRA redevelopment plan,

[1:20:31] and providing an effective date and for other purposes.

[1:20:34] So moved.

[1:20:35] Second.

[1:20:35] Move, Dan.

[1:20:36] Second for discussion.

[1:20:37] Once again, Ms. Vazquez.

[1:20:38] Yes, once again, good afternoon, Chair, Vice Chair, Board, members, Kimberly Vazquez,

[1:20:42] Senior Project Manager for the CRA.

[1:20:44] Decided before you is amendment to the Northwest CRA plan, as though it's not a substantial

[1:20:50] as the last plan that you had before you in the east.

[1:20:54] This Northwest plan was originally adopted in 1990.

[1:20:56] It was amended and really substantially amended in 2021.

[1:21:03] You were provided a strike through an underlying and clean version of this plan as well.

[1:21:08] And as with the East plan, this redevelopment plan is a living document and it comes to

[1:21:12] you to be updated as changing needs in the area.

[1:21:17] The Northwest is a little over 3,000 acres.

[1:21:20] As you can see, you have various uses of single-family homes, multi-family residential, commercial,

[1:21:24] or industrial, etc.

[1:21:27] The organization of the plan is the same.

[1:21:30] You have seven sections broken out into your executive summary, your background information

[1:21:36] and statutory requirements, existing conditions, your needs and opportunities, programs and initiatives,

[1:21:44] financial analysis which was once again your five year strategic finance plan, and your supporting

[1:21:49] documentation.

[1:21:51] The amendments under this plan are really reminder in nature, it updated and changed the term of the innovation district to downtown and this is for consistency, place making and branding purposes.

[1:22:05] This one also extends the duration of the Northwest CRA to December 31st, 2049, which will end the 60 year term of this particular CRA district.

[1:22:16] And this has already been approved by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners.

[1:22:22] The downtown redevelopment area or old town, we really put in a defined definition of what your downtown master plan project is going to be.

[1:22:30] We changed the marketing and special events to comply with the state statute as it currently stands.

[1:22:37] And then there was references to the interlocal agreement when it comes to redevelopment revenue bonds under that particular part of the section of the plan.

[1:22:47] The Northwest CRA Advisory Committee reviewed the amendments to this Northwest plan and they did recommend approval at their meeting of May 6.

[1:22:54] Staff is also recommending approval of this amended plan and to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Commission sitting as the governing board of the CRA at the meeting of June 11.

[1:23:04] That concludes my presentation and I'll take any questions.

[1:23:07] Very good. Thank you for that.

[1:23:08] This is a public hearing.

[1:23:09] Is there any input from the public on this item?

[1:23:13] Just name and address for the record.

[1:23:18] Mayor Commissioner, City staff, my name is Ed Phillips, I kind of resided 3 to 4 to know what's 19th Street Pumbly Beach.

[1:23:25] Let me start off, I say it first of all.

[1:23:28] I think the city has done an abnormal job and attempted to reach out to inform the residents and the city itself of the downtown area that it's coming.

[1:23:40] I think there's a lot more to be done as we go forward.

[1:23:43] But having said that, I'm looking at the part that says, the amendment to the Northwest

[1:23:49] CRA plans makes some minor editing, including defining the downtown master plan project.

[1:23:58] What's the minor editing?

[1:24:01] Because this is such a large project that I think more than just the board, these don't

[1:24:08] understand what that means.

[1:24:09] It was minor edits as far as the totality of the plan.

[1:24:13] What we did put in, and I'll also defer back to Ms. McKenna, was we really put a definition

[1:24:20] of to what this downtown master plan is going to be.

[1:24:23] Now that you're having that negotiation process with Roca Point as the master developer,

[1:24:29] I think you have a better defined vision of what that master plan is going to be and

[1:24:33] allowing us to define it in our northwest plan.

[1:24:37] And so, Mayor, is this plan online or can we get a copy of the amendments in particular?

[1:24:44] I don't want the whole plan.

[1:24:46] I would like to just see the amendments to the plan.

[1:24:49] It's in the backup.

[1:24:51] Yes.

[1:24:51] In the backup.

[1:24:52] It's available online in the backup.

[1:24:54] Yes, sir.

[1:24:54] Okay.

[1:24:55] Absolutely.

[1:24:56] The complete plan and also showing the changes.

[1:24:58] Okay.

[1:24:59] Because I want to say that.

[1:25:00] In addition to that, the question would be, when will it, is there a target date for saying the contract or, I wish the roll call group? That's still being worked on. That's completely separate from the plan, of course. That's still being worked on. I don't know. I guess I can see him pairing one another, because if there's an amendment of some shape for him and man it in, we probably need to be starting getting closer to having some contract with them. And that was my question. How close are we?

[1:25:27] We're closer, yeah, closer but not there yet.

[1:25:31] No definitive answer, yeah.

[1:25:32] Okay, appreciate it very much.

[1:25:34] Thank you.

[1:25:34] Very good, thank you.

[1:25:35] Further input from the public?

[1:25:40] Seeing none, we'll can put closed, commission discussion.

[1:25:45] Seeing none?

[1:25:46] Let's go to Commissioner Perkins.

[1:25:48] Yes, thank you.

[1:25:49] Can you explain to those that are listening the minor edits to the marketing and special events?

[1:25:58] I'll defer to Ms. McKenna.

[1:26:04] Marketing and special events are not eligible activities in the CRA statute.

[1:26:10] And the statute changed in 2019 to limit very specifically how our redevelopment trust

[1:26:19] fund monies could be spent.

[1:26:22] So what we have done is revise that language to make clear what we are allowed to do.

[1:26:30] One of the eligible activities is dissemination of information and so where we had marketing

[1:26:37] and special events, we've now revised that language to say that we can do dissemination

[1:26:44] of information about redevelopment activities and what we're doing to clear our slum and

[1:26:50] And it includes things like our website, social media, things like that that we are talking

[1:27:01] about our CRA dollars at work rather than doing what would be considered traditional marketing

[1:27:09] and special events.

[1:27:10] We're not allowed to do special events, it's not an eligible activity.

[1:27:14] So we are, we've revised that language to make sure that we are in full compliance with the statute and you actually saw in last year's budget that we changed how we were managing our CRA funds as it relates to marketing and special events.

[1:27:31] Okay, great, thank you.

[1:27:34] My last question is, how did staff come up with the

[1:27:41] name change from the innovation district

[1:27:44] to downtown?

[1:27:46] What was the process of that?

[1:27:49] I believe that I can't speak 100% to a commissioner, but we just started, the reference was made

[1:27:57] innovation district was kind of something of the past, but something that we were visioning

[1:28:02] to be.

[1:28:02] And we just started referring to this as the downtown.

[1:28:06] We even create a logo towards the downtown and therefore to make reference in our plan,

[1:28:12] we wanted to make sure that it remains the same.

[1:28:15] And as I said for consistency, place making and branding purposes.

[1:28:20] And in addition to that commissioner, just so that our record is complete.

[1:28:25] When you authorize us to issue the invitation to negotiate for a master developer,

[1:28:30] or we then identified the project as the downtown

[1:28:36] and included within the downtown

[1:28:38] was the infrastructure element

[1:28:41] which had been the innovation district.

[1:28:44] So it's now the downtown master redevelopment project

[1:28:49] and it includes all of the things

[1:28:51] that were identified as the innovation district.

[1:28:54] Okay, and we'll still calling,

[1:28:58] We still have the, what you call the old downtown on the east side of the railroad track?

[1:29:03] Yes.

[1:29:04] Okay.

[1:29:04] Yeah.

[1:29:05] So we, in my district, I have to make it very clear because when I ask everybody from

[1:29:11] growing up here as a little girl, where is downtown?

[1:29:15] And for everybody in my district, everybody says on the east side of the railroad track.

[1:29:20] That's always been coming up.

[1:29:21] You remember that, right?

[1:29:22] Rex?

[1:29:23] It was just the old, the downtown area.

[1:29:25] so when you say downtown now it confuses the public and the way that I could help

[1:29:31] them to better understand it is to say MLK downtown now they know where we're

[1:29:35] talking about so that's just you know trying to identify with the community as

[1:29:41] to downtown where it really is and what we're beginning to do right now with this

[1:29:44] project that's it thank you very good which brings up a very good point we are

[1:29:50] are trying to change our city, create a downtown where there wasn't one to change our city for the better, for the Commission discussion.

[1:30:00] Seeing none, let's go ahead and call the roll. Mr. Foneir? Yes. Mr. Neumass? Yes. Mr. Perkins?

[1:30:08] No.

[1:30:10] Mr. Neumass? Yes. Vice Chair McGee? Yes. Mr. Hart? Yes. Item 5 is a resolution.

[1:30:19] A resolution of the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency appointing one banker,

[1:30:24] Whether financier or other management level representative of a financial institution or related industry professional to the East District Advisory Committee of the CRA for a term of two years said term to expire on May 21, 2026 providing an effective date.

[1:30:41] So moved.

[1:30:42] Second.

[1:30:42] Second, second for discussion.

[1:30:44] I'll go ahead and jump out and nominate Melissa Hess and District 1.

[1:30:48] Let's confer the nominations.

[1:30:49] I don't wish to nominate anyone, but I just want to point out that two of the applicants

[1:30:54] have the same address in case people didn't pick up on that.

[1:30:57] Yes, that would be Kerry-Prim and David Borns.

[1:31:02] I believe there are husband and wife, and yes, they reside at the same place.

[1:31:05] Okay, just find also that out.

[1:31:07] David Borns has identified his district three.

[1:31:10] He actually resides in district one, which is just a Scrivener's error there.

[1:31:14] Any further nominations for this item?

[1:31:16] Hearing none, nominations closed, all in favor say aye.

[1:31:19] Aye.

[1:31:20] Opposed, motion carries unanimous.

[1:31:22] Additional audience to be heard, we don't have any of that.

[1:31:25] Reports, executive director, Mr. Harrison.

[1:31:28] No report, sir.

[1:31:29] You're good, Mr. McKenna.

[1:31:30] No report.

[1:31:31] Very good, takes us up to our next meeting date is June 18th, 2024.

[1:31:38] Sierra Board reports, Commissioner for any aye.

[1:31:40] Just that my monthly community meeting is tomorrow May 22nd at 7 p.m.

[1:31:47] at the American Legion.

[1:31:49] Thank you.

[1:31:50] Very good, Commissioner Moss.

[1:31:51] I will be having a Saturday morning meeting this coming Saturday, 9.30 a.m.

[1:31:57] at the Herb School, McCenter, and Palmeir.

[1:32:01] Very good.

[1:32:02] Thank you for that, Commissioner Perkins.

[1:32:03] Thank you, Mayor.

[1:32:05] Just to let those know that are listening.

[1:32:07] I mean, we've been putting out the date for the master developer contract for May 20th.

[1:32:15] And the date has been rescheduled to June 20th, same time, same location.

[1:32:21] It was May 30th.

[1:32:22] I'm sorry.

[1:32:24] It was May 30th and we've changed it to June 20th, okay.

[1:32:28] I just wanted to make note of that, the other thing I wanted to bring to the attention of the staff.

[1:32:33] I think everyone sitting here on the dius, we're asked to meet one-on-one wood staff regarding this contract.

[1:32:43] And I would like for staff to please give me the contract or try to give us the contract ahead of time.

[1:32:53] A lot of times when we have meetings one-on-one, we're given information there in the meeting,

[1:32:58] and we're trying to read through the information and then listen to the presentation of what staff have.

[1:33:03] So if staff could get me or anyone else on the dius, the contract ahead of time before we meet with the one-on-one staff member,

[1:33:13] I would really appreciate that before the meeting.

[1:33:16] Thank you.

[1:33:16] Very good, thank you.

[1:33:18] Commissioner Seger-Saden?

[1:33:20] No report, thank you.

[1:33:22] Very good, vice mayor.

[1:33:23] Just wanted to let people know that tomorrow evening at 5.30 we're doing the ribbon cutting for old town square

[1:33:29] Which is the apartment complex that's going up over there at next to south, and so it's just very exciting to see something new moving into old town

[1:33:36] Very good. Thank you for that. I've got no report. This meeting's adjourned
