Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated this ite m is the agreement between the three remaining partners of the DBMC a nd was on the September 30, 2012 Agenda where the Commission asked that it be pulled unti l the Workshop. Mr. 7 11/06/12 Barcinski stated there has been no change in that status it is still three remaining partners. Mrs. Gray stated she pulled this item because she wants to understand the responsibility of the City for the 4 th of July. Mr. Barcinski stated the City of Delray Beach will take on the financial responsibilities and all the contracts that come through the City.

Mr. Carney stated per his conversation a couple of days ago wit h staff he understands why this needs to be approved this evening so that the C ity can enter into these contracts. However, Mr. Carney stated he continues to raise the issue regarding the various expenditures among the different groups. He stated the D DA is a dependent taxing district that would more than suggest that initiatives of the City which fall within the DDA district can properly be paid by DDA funds and feels there needs to be greater attention paid to the projects that the City is sponsoring toge ther with the DBMC as it relates to marketing efforts within the DDA district that funds to support those come from the DDA. Mrs. Gray concurred with comments expressed by Mr. Carney. Mrs. Gray asked if there is something that the City could do about that and unders tands that we release the DBMC from this contract but that would free up dol lars for them to do whatever else they want to do. The City Manager stated when it comes time to appoint peop le to serve on the DDA that the Commission vent them on this particular issue a nd they will do their best to ensure that the DDA is involved with and supports City events of this nature. Mrs. Gray asked if the rest of the Commission would be in favor of directing the City Manager to send a letter to release them from the partnership. The rest of the Commission concurred. Mr. Jacquet referred to language in the contract and stated it states “City responsible for entering into contract for the 4 th of July activities just as we do for First Night versus DBMC.” Mr. Jacquet asked if this means that the DBMC was responsible for entering into these contracts. Mr. Barcinski stated as he unde rstands it the DBMC still will be but the City will have a lot of oversight on thes e agreements. Mr. Barcinski stated for First Night everything will go through the City (i .e. purchase orders and contracts). 8 11/06/12 Mr. Frankel moved to approve Item 10.A.A. (formerly Item 8.J.), seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follow s: Mr. Carney – Yes; Mr. Jacquet – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; M ayor McDuffie – Yes.

He stated the total overtime cost for the event is $11,490 of which $4,596 (b ased on a percentage) is assigned to the tree lighting for which the City receives no reimbursement because it is ours and $6,894 is to the Delray Beach Marketing Coo perative (DBMC) per the Event Policies and Procedures and they will pay 50% of their s hare of the overtime costs, plus a 5% administrative fee and barricades at $66 for an estimated t otal of $3,685. Mr. Jacquet asked why the City is only getting 50% from the DB MC and not 100%. Mr. Barcinski stated it is the way the City’s Policie s and Procedures are written for both the DBMC and Old School Square. Mr. Barcinski sta ted although the City has increased its contribution the amount of their staff ti me that is spent on our events is over $100,000 a year and this is a way to help offset some of that cost. Mr. Barcinski stated all other vendors pay 100%. Mr. Frankel moved to approve Item 10.A.A.A. (formerly Item 8.O.), seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as foll ows: Mr. Jacquet – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

Mr. Barcins ki stated there 9 11/06/12 was a lot of staff from the management company, Police, Fire, etc. and everyone pulled together with only five days’ notice. At this point, the time being 6:51 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 9.A., City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. 9.A. City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. The City Manager stated at a previous meeting Mr. John Bennett ha d brought to the City’s attention some “No Parking” signs erected on the right-of-way on Andrews Avenue in front of the F.I.N.D. (Florida Inland Navigation Di strict) parcel. The City Manager stated these signs do not belong to the City and t hese have been removed. Also, the City Manager stated the pictures that were sent to t he City had some cars parked across the sidewalk and staff brought this to the attention of the Police Department and it is a violation of State law for people to p ark across the sidewalk. The City Manager stated staff will watch for that and try to s ee if someone does in the future that they are ticketed. The City Manager stated Mr. Bennett a lso mentioned that he saw water meter boxes that had some holes in the top and the City ha s alerted the meter readers and utility crews to be on the lookout for those. He state d staff has looked for some around the Sandoway House and did not find any there. At this point, the time being 6:52 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 10.A. of the Regular Agenda . 10. REGULAR AGENDA: 10.A. WAIVER REQUESTS/LIZ BUILDING RENOVATIONS: Consider approval of waiver requests to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(a)(2), “Front Setbacks”, which requires a 5’ minimum setb ack along Federal Highway, Section 4.4.13(F)(1)(a), “Height”, which requires a minimum building height of 25’ and Section 4.6.18(B)(14)(iv)(2), “Windows and Doors”, which requires a minimum window transparency or glass area of 75% on the ground floor f or the Liz Building Renovations, located at 445 East Atlantic Avenue . (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Mayor McDuffie read the City of Delray Beach Quasi-Judici al Hearing rules into the record for this item and all subsequent Quasi-Judicial items. Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex part e communications. Mr. Frankel, Mrs. Gray, Mayor McDuffie, and Mr. Carney stated they had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mr. Jacquet stated he drove by the site. Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2012-199 into the record. 10 11/06/12 Mr. Dorling stated the three waivers involve a 5 foot minimum setb ack, a minimum height of 25 feet for the building, and a minimum window trans parency or glass area of 75% on the ground floor. He stated these waivers w ere considered by SPRAB on October 10, 2012 and received a recommendation of approval. Mr. D orling stated they were associated with a 2007 square foot building addition a nd demolition of existing space. Mr. Dorling stated what is being proposed is that the building is going to be moved out toward Atlantic Avenue and a new facade put up. He st ated there is a 5 foot minimum setback and this sign will go to a zero setback at 15 foot high. Mr. Dorlin g stated there is also a request that the building height mainta in a minimum 25 foot. This building is about 15 foot and will involve a facade change and a wai ver to that requirement that this building not be added height of approximately 10 feet is being requested. Mr. Dorling stated there is a requirement for minimum window transparency to promote window shopping along the Avenue. He stated these w aiver requests were considered by the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) and the Board recommended approval. Staff recommends approval. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the waiver requests, to please come forwar d at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission, t he public hearing was closed. There was no cross examination or rebuttal. Mr. Jacquet asked what the percentage of glass we currently have there. Mr. Dorling stated he believes it is less than the 75% but does not know the exact number. Mr. Dorling stated right now the entire frontage is gla ss and what makes a difference is the portion above the panes of glass that is not t ransparent and works against it. The actual amount of glass on the building is the same with the expansion. Brief discussion by the Commission and staff followed. Mr. Jacquet stated he would have a problem if we are decreasi ng the amount of window. Mayor McDuffie asked if everything that he sees on the fa cade of that building that is colored light blue glass. Mr. Dorling stated e verything that is colored light blue is all glass and the only way to get more than 52% is to extend those glass panes higher which do not achieve anything as it relates to the ability to window shop. Mr. Jacquet asked if this is current. Mr. Dorling stated this is the prop osed facade and reiterated that currently the entire face of that buildin g is glass and what it will be with the renovation with the exception of the struts between t he window panes. Mr. Jacquet stated he would like to know what the current percentage of glass in the building today so he can compare it to what the applicant is asking for. Mr. Dorling stated right now the entire frontage is glass and if there is any change i t would relate to the length of the glass as it relates to the upper area of the facade. Mr. Dorling stated he does not 11 11/06/12 believe it meets the 75% now and believes that it is exactly the same unless these glass panes have been reduced in height. Mr. Jacquet stated his main conce rn is not the glass but is the setback waiver because he feels this is a potenti al safety issue and could set the wrong precedent for that area. Mayor McDuffie asked if the Commission approved something simila r for 32 East and their new 2-story facade. Mr. Dorling stated that was an entry feature on the zero in the middle of the sidewalk. The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the C ommission who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part of the minutes). Mr. Carney moved to adopt the Board Order (approving the waiver requests), seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission vot ed as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr . Carney – Yes; Mr. Jacquet – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. Ron Hoggard, Principal Planner, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2012-059 into the record. Mr. Hoggard stated Delray Place is located at the southeast corner of Linton Boulevard and South Federal Highway this property was a nnexed into the city in the early 1980’s and an office complex was constructed in 1983 consisti ng of the three buildings; one on the north side; a one-story and two three-story building s. He stated the total existing office complex is less than 9,700 square feet. In 2008, Mr. Hoggard stated with the rezoning ordinance that the City did in 1991, the new LDRs crea ted a new district Planned Office Center (POC) District and this prop erty was rezoned to that new designation. In December 2008, Mr. Hoggard stated the City adopted a Comprehensive Plan Policy to require development of the South Federal Highway De velopment Plan. In early 2011, Mr. Hoggard stated staff met with the neighborhood surrou nding the South Federal Highway Corridor and in June 2011 staff met again to discuss alternatives for properties within that corridor. He stated this property wa s one of the ones staff considered and there were two options; one, to rezone it to PC (Planne d Commercial) and one to rezone it to AC (Automotive Commercial). Mr. Hoggard state d the Planning Department recommended PC for this parcel as the plan was being developed. He stated the current owner acquired this property in September 2011 and they submitted a zoning change to PC on January 2012 and Planning supported at that time beca use it was in line with what they were recommending at that time. Mr. Hoggard sta ted it went to the City 14 11/06/12 Commission and it was tabled for a period of six (6) months to give the applicant a chance to work with the neighborhood. He stated since then the applica nt request an extension of that tabling that was done in April and the City Commi ssion extended it for additional six months on August 21, 2012. On September 7, 2012, the applicant amended the rezoning application to go to the SAD zoning. Mr. Hoggard brief ly reviewed the findings that are required and stated they are included in attached P lanning and Zoning Board staff report. He stated they have completely enclosed t he loading bays in the back but there will still be trucks that are going to be pulli ng up, beeping, and backing up. Mr. Hoggard stated staff requested that they include provisions in the S AD ordinance that would limit the delivery hours in this location. He stated with rega rd to the outside dining areas the applicant pulled the building back to create mor e area in the back of the buildings. He stated the length of buildings is over 700 feet long and 22 feet high which concerns staff. Also, Mr. Hoggard stated the applicant could cut some of the square footage off to try to do more to screen and buffer this from the nei ghborhood. Mr. Hoggard stated staff’s concerns are the findings related to compa tibility and does not feel that they can make this project compatible. Mr. Hoggard state d staff has concerns with the intensity and recommend that the Commission not approve Ordinance No. 41-12. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. Ron Collins, representing the Tropic Isles Resident Group , urged the Commission to defer this and not pass this on first reading Christina Morrison, 2809 Florida Boulevard #207, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated she has the original plans from the original developer and they were very careful to step back the uses to protect the single family neighborhood which is an R-1 zone and they were careful to put transitional which is an RM mult i-family type of zoning and PC which is a smaller commercial use along Federal Hi ghway. Ms. Morrison stated this has been an office center for 30 years POC zoning i s a transitional use and it is low intensity which means it is a business hour type of use and the re is not a lot of nighttime activity; it is generally 8:00-6:00 p.m. She stated by develop ing this into a high density commercial use where the buildings are flush up agains t the single family residences would not be transitional or compatible. Ms. Morrison st ated this is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city and this project would hel p to minimize that beauty of this neighborhood. Gregg B. Weiss, Economic Development Chair for the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, 64 S.E. 5 th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated from a business standpoint the economic impact for this type of center is positive for the corridor. He stated the project and whatever form that it final izes in will add to the diversification of the tax base which is one of the economic goals for the city. Mr. Weiss commended the developer for being very proactive and stated he sat in on a couple of meetings with the developer and some of the residents of Tropi c Isle as well as some of the business leaders in the community. He stated while the Cha mber of Commerce does not make recommendations on the site plan, they believe that proje cts should go through due process. 15 11/06/12 John Malloy, 947 Hyacinth Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated his daughter bought her first home on 925 McCleary Street which backs u p directly to six (6) proposed restaurants with 3,000 square feet of outdoor dining and entertai nment area. Mr. Malloy stated the applicant has increased the setback 5 feet so now the 3,000 of outdoor dining entertainment is 20 feet from his daughter’s backyard instead of 15 feet. He stated the 3,000 square feet is about equal to 1½ blocks of downtown At lantic Avenue or the equivalent of Boston’s and the Sand Bar on the beach. Mr. Malloy stated Tropic Isles was there first and feels they are “grandfathered in” for peace and quiet of the neighborhood in raising their families. He stated the shopping ce nter needs to be revitalized but feels this is too intense of a use 20 feet from homeowners in Tropic Isles. Mr. Malloy stated between each building there is 3,000 square fe et of outdoor dining and residents asked that it be moved to the front of the building so that the noise would not be funneled directly into Tropic Isles. Mr. Malloy requested the a pplicant design it so the buildings buffer it but so far this has not been done. Andy Katz, 220 South Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated the transitional nature of what is there now protects the single family neighborhood and the developer is asking for rezoning that is reasonable; how ever, Mr. Katz stated there are issues that do affect the neighbors and the City at large. He stated in asking for the rezoning the developer is saying he will not abide by that new zoning when it comes to FAR (Floor Area Ratio) and parking. Mr. Katz stated we have Codes for a reason and this is a dangerous precedent to set. Richard Van Gemert, 912 Eve Street, Delray Beach, FL 33483, presented 72 petitions from the neighborhood that is requesting the Commission to vote “no” on this rezoning. Mr. Gemert stated this is not compatible at all with the neighborhood. Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane #2110, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray Beach and Member of the Alliance), stated for 3½ years he has attended and spoke at almost every City Commission meeting and he knows how they work. Dr . Kirson urged the Commission to deny the proposed project. He stated the deve lopers had 7 months to come up with a reasonable plan. Steve Camp, 931 Eve Street, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated he has owned a foreign business in Delray Beach for 26 years and has banke d with Bank of America so he is familiar with the area. Mr. Camp stated he would like to see business thrive on this corner but this project as proposed is too much for this location. Gary Eliopoulos, 314 N.W. 7 th Street, Delray Beach, FL 33444, (speaking on behalf of a client who is renovating his house two blocks from th is site), urged the Commission to pass this ordinance with extreme caution and stated that a site plan was attached to this. Mr. Eliopoulos stated this has to be compatible and all that is there now is parking and buildings. He suggested that the Commiss ion give direction to 16 11/06/12 SPRAB and make sure they look at the site plan and make sure that we can start looking at things that are more reasonable as just opposed to square footage. Fred Fetzer, 932 Evergreen Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated he sent an email to the Commission with Mr. Malloy’s email at tached to it and noted there are some serious problems with the site plan. He urged the Commission to do the right thing and stated we need development there but we need the right kind of development that is respectful of the neighborhood. Mr. Fetzer concurred with comments expressed by Mr. Eliopoulos and stated we need to move forward to the second rea ding but with the stipulation that the Commission not approve the site plan the way i t exists today because there are too many problems with it. Mr. Fetzer stated it is evident from the staff report and from the residents’ comments that there has to be a lot of cha nges made in that site plan to make this compatible. Nancy Richards, 934 Cypress Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483, supports the rezoning of this area and if it has to be conditional rezoning she understands. She stated most of the people that she speaks to that are not direc tly affected want something commercial in that corner and believes it is a springboard for further economic development along the South Federal Highway Corridor. Ms. Richards s tated this will create numerous jobs and urged the Commission to look at what is bes t for the City long- term and support the rezoning with conditions they feel should be set. Vin Nolan, Economic Development Director of Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), supports the SAD rezoning on this project and stated it is a major traffic point where residential neighborhoods converge a nd the use of this property as it is currently zoned has resulted in a decline ove r a period of time. Mr. Nolan stated this is a challenged piece of property and in order to get a quality development here the SAD approach gives the developer and the pl anners the tools to work within that. He urged the Commission to move this forward. Bob Wiebelt, 955 Jasmine Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483 and owns the Delray Plaza at 2275 South Federal Highway, stated the Delray Plaza has been in his family since the late 1940’s and most of his life he has live d on South Federal Highway or Tropic Isles. Mr. Wiebelt stated this developme nt on Linton Boulevard is going to be the catalyst of bringing other quality developme nt in that is going to increase the values of the neighborhood. He stated this area is currently an eye sore. Kelli Freeman, 917 Banyan Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483, stated she is here as a resident of the community not as the President of T ropic Isles because their Board is divided on this issue; those who live on the north side do not want i t and those who live on the south side do want it. Ms. Freeman stated she does not b elieve anyone in this room would want to live on McCleary Street with a restaura nt and seating area right behind their house. She encourages the SAD zoning and asked for clarifi cation as to whether the SAD zoning must come with a site plan approval. In he r opinion, Ms. Freeman stated she feels it is inappropriate for this meeting to be he ld on election night. 17 11/06/12 Patrick Ryan, 3161 Jasmine Drive, Delray Beach, FL 33483, supports this project because he is tired of looking at the vacant car dealerships and blighted buildings on Federal Highway. Mr. Ryan stated this project will create jobs and the city needs the income that will be brought in from these businesses. Michael Weiner, 10 S.E. 1 st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (speaking on behalf of the applicant), stated this process has to gone on for at least another month and they are making changes to the plans. Mr. Weiner s tated and looks forward to the intensive quasi-judicial SPRAB meeting where they get the chance to speak to the professionals on some of the issues that have been presented here t onight. There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 41-12, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Jacquet stated he challenges the Commission to remain foc used and has some issues with this project; one is the trucks going in a nd out and the other is the people who live immediately south of that property with the outdoor restaurant and the possible noise effect on their quiet enjoyment. He stated we need to allow more businesses to come in and create a better environment for business es to come in and generate some tax dollars. Mr. Jacquet stated he supports moving this forwa rd to SPRAB so that it can come back to the Commission on second reading at which time he hopes they will have a different product. Mr. Carney stated he feels the SAD rezoning is appropriate; he has been here since 1985 and there has never been a vibrant office environme nt there but at the same time he feels we cannot ignore the effects of whatever is put there on the abutting neighborhood. He feels it is appropriate that the Commission g ive guidance to SPRAB of what they expect when it comes back. Mr. Carney stated the landscaping is sorely deficient as presented and he does not want it to look like the Best Buy at the corner of Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road. He stated it needs to be a sho wpiece and as former Commissioner Eliopoulos expressed “the gateway to South Fe deral Highway.” and it is a very valuable and profitable site but he first looked at the idea of doing an SAD he did not expect it to be that busy. Mr. Carney supports this going to SPRAB and stated the Board is going to have to look at the landscaping, the landscapi ng setbacks, open space, square footage, hours of operation for the deliveries of the trucks, the buffering at the back of the building, etc. Mrs. Gray stated she is in support of the SAD for it to move f orward; however, she is concerned about some of residents’ concerns mainly the parking lots with all the concrete. She stated she understands that the applicant ha s put in place more buffers on the back end where the restaurants are and asked if there are doors to the entranceway. Mr. Hoggard stated the delivery doors and the walkway in the rear of the buildings on the north side of project fronting on Linton Boulevard have b een eliminated. These buildings will now be serviced from the front. 18 11/06/12 Mr. Weiner stated they are hopeful for a varied retail e xperience which will include shopping and dining, food, and grocery type activities at the shopping ce nter. Mrs. Gray stated she is excited about the project coming but as the Commission has stated they do have some more concerns. Mr. Frankel thanked everyone for coming out and stated for him it i s especially helpful hearing all the perspectives. He sta ted it is very important to do something with this corner. Mr. Frankel stated it is very reas onable to limit delivery hours and the amount of restaurants. Mr. Frankel stated the tenant is a tenant that every city in Palm Beach County. He stated he supports going forwar d with this but there needs to be some changes made in December for him to move forward with it. Mayor McDuffie stated this is a critical project for the City of Delray Beach and it is a critical project for those of who have lived on South Federal Highway. He stated this developer has been working with the neighbor hood, staff, etc. Mayor McDuffie stated this project needs to be moved on and stated thi s will bring hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in property tax that comes to the City. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 41-12, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Frankel moved to approve Ordinance No. 41-12 on First Reading/First Public Hearing seconded by Mr. Carney.

PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING PENSION FUND MANAGEMENT: Provide direction regarding the management of pension fund plans. Mr. Carney stated he would like a better understanding as to why the performance/rate of returns in the Police and Fire Pension were materially lower than the returns in the City’s Pension Fund. 8 11/20/12 Mr. Frankel recognized members of the Police and Fire Pension B oard who are in attendance this evening and John from the Bogdahn Group. Mr. F rankel distributed a copy of the October 2011-September 30, 2012 where the return on investment was $18,978,460. John Breth with Bogdahn Group, Investment Consultant to the Delray Beach Police and Fire Pension Plan, stated they were hired in 2006 to take over management of the portfolio and in 2006/2007 they began enacting some c hanges to the overall asset allocation of that plan. Mr. Breth stated he does not know what is in the General Employee’s Pension Plan but in affect it is a port folio that is invested primarily in U.S. stocks (60%) and the remainder is in the U.S. Bond market (40%); the Police and Fire Pension Plan had a similar allocation when the Bogdahn Group began working with them in late 2006/early 2007. Mr. Breth stated at that time they w orked with them to educate the Board on other asset classes and diversification op tions that they felt would broaden their opportunities set for the plan as well as increa se the potential rate of return for the plan. He stated that led to investments in real estat e, timber, increase to the international equity allocation, and more recently into diversifiers such as manage futures and global fixed income. Mr. Breth stated the years where ther e were significant divergence in rates of return were in fiscal year 2008/2009. The real estate market saw significant declines in price in 2008/2009 and that impacted the plan. He stated the decision was made to keep those investments because the decis ion was made that the opportunity set going forward in those investments outweighed realloc ation back to the bond market. Mr. Breth stated moving forward in the last 3 yea rs the real estate portfolio has outperformed the bond market. He stated the primary differ ence over the last fiscal year where the Police and Fire Pension Plan was up over 17% and the General Plan was up a little over that was the Police and Fire’s Plan to underta ke their investment in equities down. Mr. Carney stated he is concerned and wants to ensure that we are always doing the best we can. Mr. Frankel stated all nine (9) members of the Board represe nt the City meeting 4-5 hours at a time and seeking information to do the best. He stated it is attributable and points to the $19,000,000 return on the Plan’s investment. Mr. Frankel stated the contributions were $10.2 million and the distributions were $1 0.9 million and this was a great year. Mrs. Gray asked why the City has to make up the difference in the loss. The City Manager stated the City is required to this according to State law. 9 11/20/12 10.B. TRI-PARTY INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THE RELEASE OF RIGHT OF REVERTER ENCUMBERING REAL PROPERTY RELA TIVE TO THE OLD LIBRARY SITE AND CHAMBER RELOCATION/ COM MUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CRA): Consider approval of the Tri-Party Interlocal Agreement for the Release of Right of Reverter Enc umbering Real Property Relative to the Old Library Site and Chamber Relocation wit h Community Redevelopment of Agency (CRA). Brian Shutt, City Attorney, stated at the October 9, 2012 Workshop meeting the Commission directed staff to come back with an agre ement. Mr. Shutt stated there was a Tri-Party Interlocal Agreement between the C ity, CRA, and the Chamber regarding the transfer of the property at the Old Library site and the Chamber property at the old library site. He stated it was stated in the agreem ent that if the CRA did not close with the developer on that property that would trigger the revert er of the City parcels back to the City and the lease agreement that had been assi gned by the Chamber or the City to the CRA regarding the Chamber property. The City Attorney stated this agreement removes the reverter clause where the property w ill not come back to the City but it will stay under the ownership of the CRA and it also provide s for the lease agreement with the Chamber in its current location now to rema in with the CRA for a certain period of time. The City Attorney briefly reviewed the highlights of the new agreement. Mr. Carney stated the new agreement seems financially bette r for the City than the previous agreement and thanked the CRA for their efforts to address those concerns. Mrs. Gray concurs that this is a much better agreement a nd asked about the $315,000 per year for the space the City was to receive. The C ity Attorney stated that was for the in-lieu parking that the developer was going to provide and that is no longer part of this agreement. Diane Colonna, Executive Director of the Community Redevelopme nt Agency (CRA), stated the $315,000 where the CRA was contributing that amount to make up the difference between what the developer was payin g for the space and what the value was at $215 a square foot in paying for the relocation spa ce. Ms. Colonna stated there was an in-lieu payment in the amount of $315,000 that was c oming from the developer as a one-time payment. Mrs. Gray asked why the City is going with such a long peri od of time to pay back the $2 million. In response, the City Attorney stated thi s is why the provision is in the agreement on the 50% net of proceeds. For example, the Cit y Attorney stated if the CRA sells the City parcels in a deal with a developer in the next couple of years then 50% of the net proceeds that the CRA would get from that sale would immediately come to the City and if there is any remaining amount that they would still owe the City they could still pay that over ten years. 10 11/20/12 Ms. Colonna stated it is hard to say if the CRA will get mar ket value for the property and noted there is a requirement still that whoeve r proposes to develop there is going to have to provide 50 public parking spaces either on-site or else where. The City Attorney stated the payment will start within one y ear of the City executing this agreement. He stated if they make 3 or 4 payments each year and then 3 or 4 years from now they sell the property and receive money for t hat then at that point the City would be entitled to 50% of the net proceeds up to the amount of money that is still owed to us that might pay-off this amount at that point in time b ut if it does not the CRA would still have more time to pay off that amount and the payment w ould still be the $266,215.24 a year. Mr. Frankel stated he has no objection to staff’s recommendation. Mr. Frankel moved to approve the Triparty Interlocal Agreement for the Release of Right of Reverter Encumbering Real Propert y Relative to the Old Library site and Chamber relocation, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuf fie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Mr. Jacquet – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.C. REVISED LEASE AGREEMENT/GREATER DELRAY BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, INC.: Consider a revised Lease Agreement with the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, Inc. The City Attorney stated there is a lease agreement that used to be between the Chamber and the City and then assigned to the CRA. He stated if the Commission approves this lease agreement the Chamber would reloca te to the space at Old School Square in the parking garage. The City Attorney state d this agreement still has the original timeframe in it so it would not expire until January 9, 2061 and the rent would still be $1.00 per year. With regard to the common area maint enance the City would charge the Chamber about $800 per year and it would be increas ed by the CPI (Consumer Price Index) each year. The City Attorney stated if the City has to do a large maintenance program or there is structural issues with the gar age then the Chamber would also pay their proportionate share (2.7%) and if that is over $800.00 they would also pay a portion of that; the Chamber will also be receiving 15 parking passes that they or their employees could use; the Chamber can have two subten ants (the two tenants that are in there currently and if they want to have anyone else t hey would need Commission approval for that); the 15 parking spaces would be used between 7 and 6 Monday-Friday not including holidays or weekends and the parking spaces would have to be on the rooftop. Mr. Frankel asked about the letter that the Commission received and asked how this fits in. The City Attorney stated that is a proposal to purchase not only the retail space that is currently for sale but also the Chamber spa ce that was included in the proposal and would essentially be the entire first floor of the parking g arage. 11 11/20/12 The City Attorney stated the tax exempt portion of the line of credit regarding the retail space the City can sell that to a private entity and it will not mess up the taxable portion of the other bonds that the City uses to build the garage with. Mr. Carney moved to approve the revised lease agreement with the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, seconded by Mr. Fra nkel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuff ie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Mr. Jacquet – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. At this point, the time being 7:03 p.m., the Commission moved to the du ly advertised Public Hearings portion of the Agenda. 11. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 11.A. ORDINANCE NO. 31-12: Consider a city-initiated amendment to Chapter 117, “Landlord Permits”, of the Code of Ordinances, by amending Section 117.01, “Permit Required”, to remove the reference to the rental payment amount. The caption of Ordinance No. 31-12 is as follows: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 117, “LANDLORD PERMITS”, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, BY AMENDING SECTION 117.01, “PERMIT REQUIRED”, TO REMOVE THE REFERENCE TO RENTAL PAYMENT AMOUNT; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (The official copy of Ordinance No. 31-12 is on file in the City Clerk’s office.) The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance and stated thi s is the ordinance change that would remove the requirement that rental payme nts be included in the information that the City receives under our new landlord permit requirements that the City enacted previously. A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in com pliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Be ach, Florida. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Or dinance No. 31-12, the public hearing was closed. 12 11/20/12 Mr. Frankel moved to adopt Ordinance No. 31-12, seconded by Mr. Carney. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Mc Duffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Mr. Jacquet – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gra y – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 12. FIRST READINGS: A. None At this point, the time being 7:04 p.m., the Commission moved back to Item 10.D. of the Regular Agenda . 10.D. FINANCIAL REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING DELRAY BEACH MEMORIAL GARDENS MUNICIPAL CEMETERY: Discuss Financial Review Board Recommendations regarding the operation of Delray Beach Memorial Gardens Municipal Cemetery. The City Manager briefly reviewed the Financial Review Board’s Recommendations regarding the operation of the Delray Beach Memor ial Gardens Municipal Cemetery. Mr. Jacquet concurs with City staff that the responsibility for physical and maintenance operations of the Cemetery be kept in the same D epartment to avoid any confusion. In addition, Mr. Jacquet stated we have amended our policy t o be more like the City of Deerfield and asked if all of these items have been included in our policy. Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk stated the City of Delray Beach requires residents to show their regular identification that shows their De lray Beach address and if anything further is required staff requests a utility bill from them. Ms. Nubin stated the City Clerk’s office requests the identification in regards to the deceased; t he person that is deceased has to be the resident of Delray Beach. Mr. Carney stated he sees the response as it relates to t he incremental cost to now taking care of the books and record keeping for the cemeter y. He asked if there is additional staff. Ms. Nubin stated there is no new staff. Mr. C arney asked why the Financial Review Board believed there were three departments working on the cemetery but the City Clerk has indicated that there are only two involved. Tim Simmons, Parks Superintendent, stated there is the parks budge t, the cemetery budget, and the beautification but it is all under the P arks and Recreation Department. Mr. Frankel thanked the Financial Review Board for their efforts and there are some good changes but he would tend to side with the City where there are cases of disagreements. 13 11/20/12 10.E. PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT: Provide direction to reject all bids, and proceed with re-advertising the project for bid; or award the contract to the second lowest bidder for the Federal Highway Beautification Project. Randal Krejcarek, City Engineer, stated staff is requesting Commission direction on how to proceed with the construction aspect of the Federa l Highway Beautification Project. Mr. Krejcarek stated it has been since 2002 to get to this point. Staff opened bids earlier this year after they received t he okay from FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) to move forward. Mr. Krejcarek s tated FDOT was asked to review the bids and they identified some anomalies in the bid and they asked the apparent low bidder to send them a letter stating that they would honor their bids. He stated for approximately 5 weeks staff has been trying to ge t the apparent low bidder to come up with that letter. Staff met with the apparent low bidder a few weeks ago and they indicated that there are some issues with their subs pri ces and the letter would not be forthcoming. Mr. Krejcarek stated at that time staff als o contacted the apparent #2 low bidder and they sent staff a letter as far as holding their prices if the City decides to go with the #2 bidder. He stated if the City goes with the appare nt #2 low bidder the City needs to come up with $1.3 million more. Mr. Krejcarek stated sta ff has an agreement ready for the Commission with the CRA that would make up the bal ance to get us to the lowest bidder of the bids that were received. He stated the second low bidder is $1.3 million higher than that. Mr. Krejcarek stated the second option i s to reject all the bids and go out and rebid. Staff recommends to go out and rebid because the y feel they can make a few adjustments in the contract documents; one of the things required in documents was that the contractor may have to do some night work at the City’s dir ection and the apparent low bidder did not catch that part of it and their bid did not include the night work. Mr. Krejcarek stated in May the City received the “Notice to proceed with Construction” from FDOT and in that notice he believes it was dire ction from the Federal Government indicated that as of November 12, 2012 the City needs to send them an invoice for construction. He stated the City does not have a construc tion contract therefore staff is not going to send them an invoice for construction. Mr. Krejcar ek stated FDOT is aware of where the City is and he asked what the pos sibility is of losing $2.8 million of the federal funding and they did not know; when FDOT gets r equests from fed asking the status of the project as far as spending the money they just show them the information that they have. Mr. Krejcarek reiterated that sta ff recommends to rebid and work with FDOT and the Federal Government so the City does not lose the $2.8 million. Mr. Frankel asked if the City re-bids this project again how long would this delay the project. Mr. Krejcarek stated approximately February 2012 asking for award of the contract. Mr. Frankel stated if the City goes w ith the second low bidder when would work start. Mr. Krejcarek stated staff would go to FDO T first to make sure they do not have any issues because there is State funding involved an d they want to review everything first and then staff would execute the contrac ts by the end of the year or early January and the project timeframe would be February /March 2013. Mr. Frankel asked if FDOT has a position on what we do. Mr. Krejcarek state d FDOT goes on to the second bidder. 14 11/20/12 Mr. Frankel asked if it is Mr. Krejcarek position that the CR A will make up the difference. In response, Mr. Krejcarek stated depending on the C ommission’s direction tonight his next meeting is with the CRA to explain to them what the City is doing. Diane Colonna, Executive Director of the CRA, stated she would not make the assumption that the CRA will come up with the difference. Mr. Frankel stated he would like to see this moved until he sees what the CRA’s position is. Mrs. Gray asked if staff sends this out for an RFP if the turna round could be December instead of January. Mr. Krejcarek stated there are not enough cal endar days to do that because the City has to advertise for a certain number of days a nd that brings us to the week of Christmas. He noted that the contractors close down at Christmas and the City would probably not receive any responses. Mrs. Gray exp ressed concern that the City will lose those dollars. Mr. Carney stated he believes that the Federal dollars wil l still be there if the City shows good faith and we are moving forward and the purpose of the delay is to save taxpayer money to obtain a lower price. Mr. Carney sup ports staff’s recommendation because he is not assured that the CRA is not going to come up with the money. Ms. Colonna stated in discussions with the low bidder she belie ves he can get much closer to the price that is on the table now than the $1.3 mill ion extra. Ms. Colonna stated she believes he will come in with a more improved accurate bid. Mr. Jacquet stated he does not like the delay; however, he supports s taff’s recommendation on this item. Mayor McDuffie expressed concern over the delay and stated it bothers him that the low bidder cannot answer the questions yet but we are going to give him another chance. Mr. Krejcarek stated the low bidder did indicate that his subcontractors had issues with their bids after they went back and re-exami ned the plans because one of the subs missed the requirement for possible night work and another sub missed something as far where some of the electrical lines are going. The City Attorney stated the low bidder made a mistake in the ir calculations on this bid coming up but he does not believe there is anything that would disqualify them from bidding on it again. Mayor McDuffie expressed concern that it is going to cost t he City $2.8 million and that the bidders are not responsive in the timeframe t hat we need them to be responsive in. After further discussion, the City Attorney stated the directi on is to come back with an agreement on the December 4, 2012 City Commission meet ing and award the contract to the second low bidder. 15 11/20/12 10.F. BUILDING INSPECTOR POSITION: Provide authorization to unfreeze a Building Inspector Position in the Community Improvement Depart ment. Mr. Jacquet asked if this has anything to do with the Fire position. Mr. Frankel moved to approve to unfreeze a Building Inspector Posi tion in the Community Improvement Department, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upo n roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; Mr. Jacquet – Yes ; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 10.G. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012. 10.H. STATE AND FEDERAL LOBBYING SERVICES: Discuss State and Federal lobbying Services. Richard Reade, Sustainability Officer/Public Information Off icer, stated on October 16, 2012, the Commission selected Ballard Partners to provi de lobbying services for transient housing legislation. At that time, Mr. Re ade stated the Commission also expressed interest on additional lobbying services for ful l service lobbyist which will also include the possibility of federal lobbying. He stated staff provided the Commission a summary of the seven (7) firms that provided lobbying propos als. Mr. Reade explained that most of the firms provide offices in Tallahassee as well as locally and a few of the firms only provide offices either in Lakeland or Tallahassee. He stated all firms will provide lobbying services for the legislative branch as well as the executive and state agencies. In addition, Mr. Reade stated many of them will provide l obbying services to the local agencies such as the County or the local Army Corp. He stated staff found that most of the firms will assist the City with the development of our Legislative Policy Agenda for this upcoming year and will come to the Commission eit her by telephone, in person or provide other types of updates on the status of our legisl ative policies. Mr. Reade stated most of the cost is on an annual basis and there is one firm that would provide costs more on the term of the legislative session (Weis s, Handler & Cornwell) and the firms will provide Federal services to the City as we ll with the cost that is provided; Ballard Partners would provide State lobbying services; Capitol Alliance would provide State and Federal and would be willing to lower their cos t to $30,000 annually; Ericks Consultants State and Federal; Florida Strategic Group State and Federal for the 1 st year only; Greenberg Taurig, Ronald Book would be State only; Weis s, Handler & Cornwell would be State only and their Federal lobbying costs woul d be based on the type of assignment. Mr. Reade stated all the firms received good refer ences. Mr. Carney asked if Ballard Partners would be an additional $45,000. Mr. Reade stated this is correct. Mr. Reade stated under Ericks Consultants it mentioned that Candice Ericks one of the partners would not be able to lobby in Palm Be ach County at the local level because they represent Palm Beach County. 16 11/20/12 Mrs. Gray commented about Weiss, Handler & Cornwell and asked M r. Reade to elaborate a little more on this firm. Mr. Reade sta ted they would require a separate contract and it is based on the type of lobbying se rvices the City would want them to do and noted they were unable to give the City a fixed cos t for a year for the Federal lobbying services. Brief discussion by the City Attorney and the Commission followed. Mr. Jacquet stated he would like to have a good list of issues tha t we want to address on the Federal level when selecting the Federal lobbyist. Mr. Frankel stated regarding State lobbying services he would p refer someone that has represented localities nearby and Weiss, Handle r & Cornwell fits that. He stated he is looking at cost, experience, and location. Mr. Jacquet stated he is not sure if other firms have been pres ent but commented that Weiss, Handler & Cornwell has been present at ev ery meeting every time the issue has come up. He stated the firm is commit ted and willing to work with the City. Mayor McDuffie concurred with Commissioner Jacquet. After brief discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission t hat they would like Weiss, Handler & Cornwell to be the State lobbying firm. The City Attorney stated at the next regular City Commiss ion meeting of December 4, 2012 the Commission can come back with an agreement w ith Weiss, Handler & Cornwell and approve the agreement at that time for State lobbying services. The City Manager stated that staff will start work on dr afting an RFP for Federal lobbying services. At this point, Mr. Reade briefly reviewed the State Legislative iss ues. 10.I. REVISED AGREEMENT/ TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH: Consider approval of a revised agreement with the Town of Highland Beach to provide additional language regarding the shared limited medical services w ith the City of Delray Beach’s Wellness Center for full-time Police Officers. (ADDENDUM) Bruce Koeser, Human Resources Director, stated last month he was before the Commission asking for an approval to perform Police physicals for the Town of Highland Beach in the City of Delray Beach’s Health and Wellnes s Center to help offset some costs. Mr. Koeser stated staff inadvertently missed a clause in Section 3 of the agreement and requested Commission approval to add this clause which dea ls with confidentiality. 17 11/20/12 Mrs. Gray moved to approve the revised agreement with the Town of Highland Beach, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Com mission voted as follows: Mr. Jacquet – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes ; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 13. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. 13.A. City Manager The City Manager stated Vin Nolan, Economic Development Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), put together a memo that will be distributed at an upcoming economic development event. Secondly, with regard to Commissioner Gray’s concern about the restroom roof at Hilltopper Stadium, the City Manager stated the concession stand roof had a leak and that needs some work. He stated the only problem wi th the restrooms is they are on a septic tank not connected to the sewer so that has ca used a problem where it has not been able to be used at times. Staff is looking at how t he City might be able to connect it up to a sewer line. The City Manager stated TJ Jackson has made a proposal that their organization will build a new restroom and concession st and facility at Hilltopper. The City Manager stated he would like to update the Commission regarding the schedule on December 6 th and 7 th for City Manager candidate interviews. He stated the Commission one-on-one interviews will take place on Thursday afternoon on December 6 th and then Friday morning December 7th will be for the public i nterviews in the Commission Chambers. The City Manager stated staff ha s scheduled these interviews every 45 minutes. He stated regarding the evening re ception on December 6 th , staff needs a location and a guest list. The City Manager sta ted the interviews for the City Manager’s position will begin on Friday, December 7 th at 9:00 a.m. and staff proposes to set the agenda so that after the Commission comple tes their interviews the Commission will make a decision about the number one ranked candidate and authorize the City Attorney to start contract negotiations. The City Ma nager stated the reception will be held on Thursday, December 6th from 6:00-7:00 p.m. with dinner afterwards at 7:15/7:30 p.m. The City Manager stated the location will be at the Golf Club or one of the hotels but as of now has not been determined.

City Commission 18 11/20/12 13.C.1. Mr. Jacquet Mr. Jacquet stated Mr. Bennett’s suggestion about municipal elec tion signs is a great idea. Mr. Jacquet stated when he ran last year there were a number of people in the city who had no idea that the municipal election was going on until the day of the actual election. He stated the city needs to have some kind of signage where we can post “Municipal Elections in Delray Beach”. Mr. Jacquet st ated the municipal election in Delray Beach has very low turnout and some of the r esidents are unaware and notice is not given. Secondly, Mr. Jacquet asked that staff keep him posted when the Villages at Delray meeting will be held because he would like to attend. Lastly, Mr. Jacquet stated he is in full support of the Guardian Ad Litem Program of Palm Beach County and encouraged the entire Commission to support. 13.C.2. Mr. Carney Mr. Carney stated the Fire Department has some issues with respect to parking on Marina Way by the residents but he feels we need to g et creative there for the residents. In addition, Mr. Carney stated there is some question on the parking that is going on in front of the boat slips and there is an inconsistency of how the rules are applied to the boat slips. Secondly, Mr. Carney stated he forwarded two residents only parking ordinances; one from Tallahassee and the other from Key West. He stated the Police Department has some issues with it in the sense that cost of e nforcement for resident only parking. Mr. Carney stated while things are not perfect cer tain enforcement from time- to-time works and also signage works because people are accust omed to knowing that if there is a “No Parking” sign in Delray that those signs are generally en forced. He stated he would like to see if we can address that issue parti cularly on a couple of the roads closest to the Intracoastal. Mr. Carney stated throughout the Marina District it is an older part of town and the roads are smaller and they do have some p roblems. He stated the owner of Deck 84 is in favor of trying to do so that people are not parking along that road. Mr. Carney stated he would like to try to figure out a soluti on as well for resident parking. Mr. Carney expressed concern over a notice he received today about a Parking Management Advisory Board meeting related to extending even further the hour s of enforcement for the parking meters on the beach. Mr. Carney stated he does not understand why the Parking Management Advisory Board is starti ng to be involved with the creation of policy and feels this is the job of the Commis sion. He stated everyone on the beach wants to have parking end at 6:00 p.m. and everyone on the be ach is in agreement with how the weekends should be different from the week. 19 11/20/12 Mr. Carney stated for the same reason that the Commission resp ected the wishes of the merchants on Atlantic Avenue as it related to their views on p arking meters to be consistent we have to recognize the views of the merchants and resi dents on the island as to what they think the parking should be. Lastly, the Parking Management Advisory Board took formal action t o recommend changing the hours to midnight. The City Manager suggest ed that the Commission pass a motion telling the Parking Management Advisory Board that the hours of parking meters is not within their scope of responsibilit y and the Board is not to make recommendations on that. 13.C.3. Mr. Frankel Mr. Frankel thanked the City for putting out the Press Releas e today regarding the Menorah Lighting on December 8, 2012 at 5:15 p.m. at Old School Square and is the same night as the Holiday Parade. He stated in worki ng with Delores Rangel he believes they will be able to get transportation from the Menorah on the Delray Downtowner for the Commission to the cars that will be available. Secondly, Mr. Frankel stated he has noticed in the last week or so the homeless population has increased. He stated today at 1:00 p.m. on A tlantic Avenue he saw a man with a Target shopping cart going through garbage cans. Mr. Frankel stated he just wants to keep everyone aware of that. Lastly, Mr. Frankel requested that at the next Commission meet ing a Certificate of Appreciation from the City of Delray Beach be presented to Pauline Moody. He stated she is going through tough times and she comes to the City and talks about serious issues and always puts a smile on everyone’s faces . Mr. Frankel stated she picks up garbage and while she is critical of certain thing s she does it with the greatest of intentions. He stated if the City recognized Ms. Moody it would p ut a smile on her face during the holiday season since she has not had the greatest year . It was the consensus the Commission to present a Certificate of Appreciation from the City of Delray Beach to Pauline Moody at the next regular Commission meeting. 13.C.4. Mrs. Gray Mrs. Gray concurs with comments expressed by Mr. Bennett about the municipal election signs and stated this is a great idea. Secondly, she commented on the City’s Goals for 2016 and Beyond #3: Expanded Downtown from A-1-A to I-95 and asked about the status of the hotel flag. Mrs. Gray stated she had a conversation with Senator Sachs and she is looking for office space and would like to come into City Hall if space is avai lable. 20 11/20/12 She would like to stop by tomorrow at 11:30 to look at the space and noted that Congressman Hastings is moved out and the City is doing some renovati ons. The City Manager stated staff will be glad to show her the space but it will be several months before it is available. Mrs. Gray commented about the reduction of the CRA district for t he dollars because she believes we need those dollars and that there is a lot of their area that is not slum and blighted. She inquired about the status of this and as ked when the City will start working on this. Lastly, Mrs. Gray requested that WARC be placed on the January 12, 2013 Workshop meeting. 13.C.5. Mayor McDuffie Mayor McDuffie had no comments or inquiries on non-agenda items.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Randal L. Krejcarek, P.E., LEED AP, GISP, City Engineer Richard C. Hasko, PE, Environmental Services Direct or THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:November 20, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.D. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT/CRA FOR FUNDING OF CONSTRUCTION/PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FY 2012 -2013 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Approval/authorization for Mayor to execute Amendme nt #1 to the Interlocal Agreement between the CRA and the City for Funding Construction/Professio nal Services.

After power lines are relocated, Block 20 alle y construction will proceed. Attached are the following documents: Amendment 1 Exhibit A from original Inter-local Agreement Bid Tab CRA Board Summary FUNDING SOURCE CRA will be providing additional funding. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval. Meeting Date: November 15, 2012 Agenda Item: ~ CRA BOARD SUMMARY ~ AMENDMENT NO.1 TO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND CRA FOR FUNDING CONSTRUCTION/PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FY 2012-2013 At its meeting of September 27, 2012, the CRA Board approved the annual Interlocal Agreement between the City and the CRA for funding of projects for Fiscal Year 2012/2013. The Agreement was subsequently approved and executed by the City on September 28 th . Exhibit “A” of the Agreement lists the projects includ ed in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that are to recei ve CRA funding, and the corresponding amount. On November 1, 2012, the City received bids for the B lock 19 alley improvements project, which includes construction of the alley and upg rades to the City parking lot on NW 5 th Avenue, adjacent to the CRA’s Muse/Harvel house proj ect and Spady Museum Complex. The lowest responsive bidder is Rosso Paving & G rading, Inc. with a bid price of $137,866.13. Pursuant to the executed Interlocal Ag reement, the CRA is providing funding in the amount $100,000 for the Block 19 alle y improvement project. In addition to the CRA’s funding, the City is providing funding o f $20,000 for associated drainage improvements. This leaves a deficit of $17,866.13 that the CRA is being asked to fund. It is noted, in previous years, the project originally included improvements to the Block 20 alley to the south, adjacent to the proposed Housin g Authority office building, and construction drawings were prepared accordingly. Due to d elays with the relocation of FPL facilities to accommodate the Block 20 alley improveme nts, the Block 20 portion of the project was not included in the FY 2012/13 budget. However, there is now an opportunity for the FPL issues to be addressed in time to construct the Block 20 alley in conjunction with the Block 19 alley improvements. In or der to determine the cost of the Block 20 alley improvements, the unit prices in the Rosso bid were utilized to provide an estimate of $40,000 for the extended alley construction . Therefore, the attached amendment to the Interlocal Agreement modifies Item “D” (City Project No. 2009-006, Block 19 Alley Improvements) in E xhibit “A”, to include the Block 20 Alley Improvements and increases the project fundin g from $100,000 to $160,000. Recommended Action: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Delray Beach and the CRA for funding of Construction/Profession al Services for Fiscal Year 2012/2013, to modify Item “D” on Exhibit “A”, to in clude the Block 20 Alley improvements and increase the amount of funding from $100,000 to $160,000.

Harden, City Manager DATE: November 13, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.D.1 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 CONTRACT AWARD /ROSSO PAVING AND GRADING, INC. /BLOCK 19 AND 20 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request for Commission approval/authorization for the Mayor to execute the construction contract with Rosso Paving and Grading, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder, for construction of the Block 19 and 20 Alley Improvements Project in the amount of $137,866.13. P/N 2009-006. BACKGROUND This project is included in the Interlocal Agreement between City of Delray Beach and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for construction of capital projects. The purpose of this project is to construct paved alleys west of NW 5th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and NW 2nd Street (Block 19 and 20), and the resurfacing, landscaping and striping of the public parking lot located at 114 NW 5th Avenue. Unfortunately, the Alley west of NW 5th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and NW 1st Street (Block 20) was not included in this bid due to the electrical service alterations required on an existing apartment building to allow relocation of Florida Power and Light (FPL) facilities. Modifications to the apartment building need to be provided and funded by the owner on private property in order for FPL to relocate their power pole to allow construction of the alley. In order to keep the project moving forward, the majority of the project is being constructed with this bid award and the remainder at a later date when the electrical service issue can be resolved. FUNDING SOURCE CRA will be providing funding for this Project, which is contigent upon City Commission approval of the CRA Interlocal Agreement Amendment #1 $120,000.00 from #334-3162-541.68-60 $17,866.13 from #448-5461-538.68-60 pending transfer from Stormwater Project Reserve RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval.

Hasko, P.E.; Director of Environmental Services Department THROUGH: David Harden; City Manager DATE: November 20, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.E. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 MODIFICATIONS TO CONTRACTOR PREQUALIFICATION PACKAGE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request Commission to approve modifications to the Contractor Prequalification Package to include a new category for “AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) Deployment/Water Meter Replacements”. BACKGROUND Commission approved the implementation of a contractor prequalification process on January 20, 2009. The purpose of implementing such a process was to ensure that contractors bidding on City capital projects demonstrated their financial and human resources to complete the work. In September 2011, Commission approved some modifications to the Prequalification Package which included an additional qualifying categories for Lift Stations and Sidewalks; adding definitions for Construction Equipment and Number and Classification of Employees; clarifying bonding requirements; and modifying the prequalification process and procedures. The City is currently out to bid on the AMI System /Water Meters; for the purchase of the AMI equipment and water meters, as Contract 1. As the City moves forward with its AMI/Water Meter Replacement program, it is in the City’s best interest to prequalify contractors that can demonstrate capabilities for performing the actual meter installations under Contract 2. This includes both the meter installation and AMI system installation and integration. Staff anticipates advertising Contract 2 early next year, 2013. Staff recommends having single responsibility for the installation project management tasks. This approach provides for utilizing a fully qualified AMI system installation contractor that is not only qualified with water meter installations, but also qualified with AMI system installation and integration; including installation of the communication system, new database development, and overall system startup/testing. Thus, the intent is to contract with one firm having single responsibility for project management and installation. For the purpose of prequalifying AMI System /Water Meter installation contractors, the Prequalification Committee (comprised of City staff members) recently reviewed and consented to the following modification(s) to the Prequalification Package; adding a new category for “AMI Deployment/Water Meter Replacements” and associated definition as follows: 1.2 Definitions AMI Deployment/Water Meter Replacements A Project that predominately consists of installation of water meters related to the implementation and deployment of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure system and/or other electrical/mechanical components associated with the AMI system, including but not limited to installation of theinfrastructure required to gather meter data and asset management data that can be electronically transferred into the City’s Utility and IT systems. Such projects include providing Project Management capabilities for full project coordination, installation, AMI/water meter database development, AMI system startup and functional testing. To be qualified under this project type, qualifications must be demonstrated by a single contractor firm. Qualifications demonstrated through teaming of multiple firms will not be considered. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval. modification(s) to the Prequalification Package; ad ding a new category for “AMI Deployment/ Water Meter Replacements” and associated definition as fo llows: 1.2 Definitions AMI Deployment/Water Meter Replacements A Project that predominately consists of installation of water meters related to the implementation and deployment of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure system and/or other electrical/mechanical components associated w ith the AMI system, including but not limited to instal lation of theinfrastructure required to gather meter data and asset management data that ca n be electronically transferred into the City’s Utility and IT systems.

Funding for the project is through the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Grant. BACKGROUND Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilitation contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for the following project: 610 SW 5th Avenue, CJ Contracting, LLC/20,090.00 = Total Rehab cost: $22,548.56 Grant awards are based on the actual cost of the rehabilitation, as determined by the low responsive bidder(s), plus a 5% contingency. Total rehab cost also includes lead inspection, lead abatement, lead clearance, termite inspection, termite treatment, and recording fees. Additional costs may be incurred for lead clearance test(s). The contingency may be used for change orders and all unused funds will remain with the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation program. Inspection of work is done by the Department of Community Improvement’s Building Inspection and Neighborhood Services Divisions. Contracts are executed between the building contractor and the property owner. The City remains the agent and this office monitors all work performed by the contractor, ensuring compliance according to specifications and program guidelines. Pay request forms require both contractor and homeowner’s signatures. Grant recipients have met all eligibility requirements as specified in the approved Policies and Procedures. The rehabilitation activities will bring the homes to minimum code requirements by repairing the roof, electric and plumbing systems and correcting other incipient code violations. Detailed work write-ups and individual case files are available for review in the Neighborhood Services Division Office. The Neighborhood Services Division is responsible for ensuring that the housing rehabilitation contracts are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, as a result of a formal bid process. Therefore, an in-house policy was created to limit awards to the lowest responsive bidder as it relates to the Division’s professional in-house estimate. This serves to disqualify unreasonably low bids and therefore protect against the resulting change order requests. FUNDING SOURCE Community Development Block Grant 118-1963-554-49.19 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends awarding one (1) Housing Rehabilitation contract to the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of $22,548.56.

The total cost of the agreement amount of $24,600, plus the required administrative fee of $4,182.00 for a total of $28,782.00. BACKGROUND The City Commission elected to initiate the Visions 2020 project using the American Assembly process. At the regular meeting of October 16, 2012, the Commission appointed the seventeen (17) member Steering Committee along with the Commission’s representative, Tom Carney, who serves as the chair. Staff has worked through the office of Sarah Shannon, Director of the John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government at Florida Atlantic University for technical and facilitation services. The Steering Committee considered presentations from two (2) consultants, as recommended by Sarah Shannon, at their first meeting on November 5th. The Committee selected Ronnie Glotzbach & Kimberly Devlin of EdTrek, electing to host one (1) full day forum under the Assembly process. EdTrek’s total cost proposed, which includes four (4) Steering Committee planning meetings is $22,500. However, at the Steering Committee meeting on November 26th, they determined that a total six (6) planning meetings may be necessary to complete their tasks preceding the one-day forum.

Fund ing for the project is through the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Grant. BACKGROUND Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilit ation contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for the following project: 610 SW 5 th Avenue, CJ Contracting, LLC/20,090.00 = Total Reha b cost: $22,548.56 Grant awards are based on the actual cost of the re habilitation, as determined by the low responsive bidder(s), plus a 5% contingency. Total rehab cost also includes lead inspection, lead abatement, lead clearance, termite inspection, termite treatment, a nd recording fees. Additional costs may be incurred for lead clearance test(s). The contingency may be used for change orders and all unused funds will remain with the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation program . Inspection of work is done by the Department of Community Improvement’s Building Inspection and Neighborhood Services Div isions. Contracts are executed between the building contractor and the pr operty owner. The City remains the agent and this office monitors all work performed by the contracto r, ensuring compliance according to specifications and program guidelines. Pay request forms require b oth contractor and homeowner’s signatures. Grant recipients have met all eligibility requirements as specified in the approved Policies and Procedures. The rehabilitation activities will bring the homes to minimum code requirements by repairing the roof, electric and plumbing systems and correcting other incipient code violations. Detailed work write-ups and individual case files are available for review in the Neighborhood Services Division Office. The Neighborhood Services Division is responsible f or ensuring that the housing rehabilitation contrac ts are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, as a r esult of a formal bid process. Therefore, an in-house policy was created to limit awards to the lowest re sponsive bidder as it relates to the Division’s professional in-house estimate. This serves to disqualify unreasona bly low bids and therefore protect against the resulting change order requests. FUNDING SOURCE Community Development Block Grant 118-1963-554-49.1 9 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends awarding one (1) Housing Rehabilit ation contract to the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of $22,548.56.

Director of Environmental Services THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: November 16, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.S.1 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 BID AWARD/LAYNE INLINER, LLC ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item is before the Commission to approve a contract award to Layne Inliner, LLC in the amount of $17,110.00 to line an existing damaged storm water pipe in Chatelaine Subdivision. Co-op pricing per City of Orlando Contract #B109-2570. An approval letter is attached for your convenience. BACKGROUND Public Works investigated and determined that numerous sinkholes on the property at 718 Chatelaine Boulevard coincided with a 30" storm drain, which runs along the entire property line.

Since the pipe runs parallel to the lot line between two homes which are only 15'3" apart, the preferred rehabilitation method is lining the pipe instead of excavating and replacing it. Excavation of the pipe could potentially compromise the foundation of both homes. Upon award Layne Inliner, LLC will execute the "Standard Form of Agreement Between the City and Contractor". FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from account #448-5416-538-46.90 (Other Repair: Maintenance Costs).

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Victor Majtenyi; Deputy Director of Public Utilities Richard C. Hasko, P.E.; Director of Environmental Services Department THROUGH: David Harden; City Manager DATE: November 9, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.S.4 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 CONTRACT AWARD/PROLIME CORPORATION (PC) ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request to approve an award to Prolime Corporation (PC) in the amount not to exceed $120,000.00 for hauling and disposal of liquid lime slurry from the Water Treatment Plant (WTP). BACKGROUND The existing annual contract utilizing a cooperative procurement agreement between Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) and Dedicated Transport, LLC expired with the start of the new fiscal year. PBCWUD realized these services were not essential to their operations, thus declined to rebid the services. Therefore, staff bid services for hauling wet lime sludge from our Water Treatment Plant. On October 22, 2012, the City released the advertisement for bid. The bid was structured as a request for a unit price per liquid ton, hauled to an approved facility. Loads are based on 26 liquid tons. Per an addendum, an alternative pricing structure could be submitted for consideration, provided it was submitted in the designated format; identifying the location and/or distance to an alternative disposal site(s), unit price per ton, and the percentage of loads to the alternate site(s). On November 7, 2012, the City received two bids under this advertisement. Prolime Corporation submitted $17.69/liquid ton. Dedicated Transport, LLC submitted $23.75/liquid ton, plus applicable fuel surcharges and an alternative pricing structure for hauling to alternative sites. A review of Dedicated Transport’s alternative pricing submittal revealed it to be incomplete; they did not list what percentage of loads would be hauled to alternative sites. Therefore, their alternative proposal could not be considered as they did not provide required information for evaluation. On that basis, bid comparison can only be made per each vendor’s base unit price per liquid ton, excluding alternate proposals. Thus, the recommendation is to award the bid to Prolime Corporation at the unit price of $17.69/liquid ton. This request is an annual award for fiscal year 2012/2013. The total amount requested for this annual period is $120,000. This is based on one load per day, five days a week, hauled to Pembroke Park, Florida: · 26 liquid tons (average tanker load) at $17.69/liquid ton = $459.94 per load x 5 days x 52 weeks = $119,584.40. Provisions in the bid documents allow annual renewals, not to exceed a total of 5 years. Upon City Commission approval, Prolime Corporation will execute a “Standard Form of Agreement between the City and Contractor”. FUNDING SOURCE Funding will be available from Account # 441-5122-536-34-90, Water and Sewer Fund/Other Contractual Services.

Alternate Bid Proposal (if submitted) MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Sharon L'Herrou, Administrative Officer Anthony W. Strianese, Chief of Police THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: November 28, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.S.5 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 PURCHASE AWARD/FEDERAL EASTERN INTERNATIONAL ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The Police Department requests Commission approval for the purchase of replacement ballistic bullet proof vests from Federal Eastern International in the amount of $53,341. BACKGROUND This year, the ballistic bullet proof vests currently being used by the Department’s SWAT team will have exceeded the manufacturer’s recommended life expectancy and will no longer be under warranty. For this reason, they must be replaced. The Department’s Training Unit has conducted extensive research into the best and most cost effective options for replacement. Based on their testing, the Department recommends purchase of the Siege-R Tactical Vest from Federal Eastern. This vest employs patent pending technology which: 1) allows the wearer to release the vest quickly in an emergency, 2) reduces the weight of the vest by between 20-40% and 3) utilizes a more durable carrier, allowing the manufacturer to offer a lifetime warranty (see attached memo dated 10/29 for additional details). The vendor, Federal Eastern, is the sole source law enforcement distributor for Renegade Armor, the manufacturer of this vest (letter also attached). An evaluation of the cost of comparable vests was conducted (comparison quotes attached). While the traditional vests appear slightly less expensive initially, they are more costly in the long run. Further, the older vests do not provide the functionality listed above. The Federal Eastern Vests, manufactured by Renegade Armor, have a lifetime warranty on the carriers. This means that only the ballistics would need to be replaced after five years. The anticipated savings at the five year point would be in the range of $33,000 (see attached memo for further details). FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available in #001-2115-521-64.90 pending budget transfer ($16,800 of this purchase is reimbursable through our Bullet Proof Vest award program). RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends approval. DELRAY BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM To: Sharon L’Herrou From: Sergeant John Crane-Baker JCB Training and Recruiting Date: November 12, 2012 Subject: SWAT VEST PURCHASE Per our conversation, I have conducted a cost analysis of the Renegade Vests versus purchasing a vest from another company. As you will see, the Renegade vest will provide us with a substantial savings after five (5) years. Provided are two quotes from respectable companies that can provide us with semicomparable vests. The first quote is from Tactical Products Group for $45,000 and the second one is from Point Blank for $44,346. Both provide the same level of protection with Level IIIA armor and all the attachments (groin, neck and biceps). Additionally, they both provide a six (6) pouch package and two (2) hard armor plates per vest. The difference between these two companies and Renegade is that Renegade has a lifetime warranty on all their carriers and pouches. If there ever is an issue with a carrier or pouch, Renegade will replace them free of charge. This will keep our carriers and pouches in good condition. This means that in five (5) years we will only need to replace the ballistic package rather than replace the entire vest. The cost of each ballistic package is $551.68 per vest. The cost for twenty (20) ballistic packages is $11,033.60. To replace the vests from Point Blank or Tactical Products Group we will need to spend an additional $44,000 to $45,000 in five (5) years as they don’t provide a lifetime warranty on their carriers or pouches. This is a minimum of $33,000 savings, assuming that in five (5) years the cost for ballistics has not increased. As you can see the savings will come after the five (5) year mark when we need to replace the ballistic package. Another reason to go with Renegade rather than the other two companies is that Renegade will buy back our old expired ballistics at a rate of $2.00 to $2.50 per pound. This can be used to offset the costs of the vests as well as create some much needed room in our armory. Obviously, I don’t know exactly how much of a savings this will be until we send off the old expired ballistics. Regardless, our recommendation is to spend a little more now to save later on. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me so that I may answer them promptly. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: R. Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE: November 30, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 10.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 LETTER OF INTENT: CCC/ARTS GARAGE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Direction regarding a Letter of Intent from the Creative City Collaborative regarding the OSS retail space. BACKGROUND Staff has received a letter of intent regarding the purchase of the OSS retail space from the Creative City Collaborative in the amount of $2,500,000.00. Staff is seeking Commission direction regarding this latest letter of intent. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Scott Pape, AICP, FCP, Senior Planner Mark McDonnell, AICP, Assistant Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: November 30, 2012 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 10.B. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 CONDITIONAL USE REQUESTS/ATLANTIC PLAZA II ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is consideration of conditional use requests to increase the building height to a maximum of 60 feet (59 feet 4 inches proposed) and to allow a density increase above 30 dwelling units per acre (43 du/ac proposed) for Atlantic Plaza II, which is a proposed mixed use development on the north side of Atlantic Avenue, south of N.E. 1stStreet, east of N.E. 6th Avenue, and west of Veterans Park. BACKGROUND The City Commission considered the development proposal at its meeting of November 13, 2012. At that time, the development proposal consisted of two (2) five-story buildings; two (2) four-story buildings; and two (2) three-story buildings. The commercial component of the development consisted of 52,021 square feet of retail; 28,204 square feet of restaurant; and 79,071 square feet of office. The residential portion of the development included 442 dwelling units comprised of 70 efficiency units; 151 one-bedroom units; 208 two-bedroom units; and 13 three-bedroom units. After considerable public comment and Commission discussion, the project was postponed with the applicant directed to reduce the intensity of the project. The applicant has submitted a revised development proposal that reduces the total number of residential units from 442 dwelling units (51.10 du/ac) to 372 dwelling unit (43 du/ac) for a reduction of 70 dwelling units. The residential mix now consists of 38 efficiency units; 141 one-bedroom units; 180 two-bedroom units; and 13 three-bedroom units. The proposed unit reductions will all occur within the "footprint" of the buildings that the City Commission previously considered. The reduction is achieved by making individual dwelling units larger, which creates a corresponding reduction in the unit count and density. It is noted that there is no change to the physical layout of the property with respect to the building locations, height, driveways, landscaping, courtyards, etc. from what the City Commission previously considered. The effect of the current proposal on parking is a net reduction in the total number of required parking spaces from 1,092 spaces to 1,000 spaces (92 space reduction). The reduction in required parking results in an increase in the number of surplus parking spaces that the project will have from the previous 70 space surplus to a 162 space surplus. The proposed revision will have an insignificant impact on required findings as they relate to concurrency levels. It is noted that the minor impacts on concurrency findings such as schools, solid waste, parks, and traffic will be addressed as part of the site plan process. RECOMMENDATION By Separate Motions: 1. Move to approve the conditional use request to allow for a building height in excess of 48’ (59’ 4" proposed) for Atlantic Plaza II, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request, and approval thereof, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(E)(5), 4.3.4(J)(4)(b), 4.4.13(I), and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations; 2. Move to approve the conditional use request to allow for a density in excess of 30 units per acre (43 du/ac) for Atlantic Plaza II, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request, and approval thereof, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(E)(5), 4.4.13(I), and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations; With said approvals to be subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval of a site plan by SPRAB that is in general conformance to the submitted sketch plan. 2. That any potential conflicts at the circular driveway as it relates to multiple functions be addressed during the site plan review process. 3. That the applicant contributes the cost of a shuttle bus to the City and details of a shuttle stop in the development be finalized during the site approval process. 4. That modification to NE 7th Avenue and NE 1st Street (including potentially restricting NE 7th Avenue to southbound only at NE 1st Street) and/or funding of a traffic signal at NE 6th Avenue and NE 1st Street is considered during site plan approval to reduce concerns over traffic encroachment into the neighborhoods from this site. 5. That a written finding of concurrency approval from the School District be submitted. 6. That provision of the bus shelter and easement is addressed during the site plan review process. 7. That a minimum of two additional bicycle racks be provided along Federal Highway and two along Atlantic Avenue. 8. That the provision of workforce housing units be addressed per an agreement to be approved by the Community Improvement Director and executed prior to certification of the site plan. 9. That a minimum of 75% of the surface area of the front street walls along Atlantic Avenue at the ground floor area of buildings I and II are devoted to display windows and to entrances. 10. That a dedication of 7 feet be provided for Atlantic Avenue east of NE 7th Avenue. 11. That at least one building achieves the designation as "LEED for Neighborhood Development (certified)." 12. That revised floor plans are submitted that reflect the revised residential unit count. 13. That a final finding of concurrency be conducted as part of the site plan process to address the current revision. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA CONDITIONAL USE MODIFICATION REQUEST FOR ATLANTIC PLAZA II ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 1.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Sharon L'Herrou, Administrative Officer Anthony W. Strianese, Chief of Police THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:November 28, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.S.5 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 PURCHASE AWARD/ FEDERAL EASTERN INTERNATIONAL ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The Police Department requests Commission approval for the purchase of replacement ballistic bullet proof vests from Federal Eastern International in t he amount of $53,341. BACKGROUND This year, the ballistic bullet proof vests current ly being used by the Department’s SWAT team will have exceeded the manufacturer’s recommended life expectancy and will no longer be under warranty. For this reason, they must be replaced. The Departm ent’s Training Unit has conducted extensive research into the best and most cost effective opti ons for replacement. Based on their testing, the Department recommends purchase of the Siege-R Tactical Vest from Federal Eastern. This vest employs patent pending technology which: 1) allows the wearer to release the vest quickly in an emergency, 2) reduces the weight of the vest by bet ween 20-40% and 3) utilizes a more durable carrier, allowing the manufacturer to offer a lifetime warra nty (see attached memo dated 10/29 for additional details). The vendor, Federal Eastern, is the sole source law enforcement distributor for Renegade Armor, the manufacturer of this vest (letter also a ttached). An evaluation of the cost of comparable vests was c onducted (comparison quotes attached). While the traditional vests appear slightly less expensive in itially, they are more costly in the long run. Furt her, the older vests do not provide the functionality listed above. The Federal Eastern Vests, manufactured by Renegade Armor, have a lifetime warranty on the car riers. This means that only the ballistics would need to be replaced after five years. The anticipat ed savings at the five year point would be in the r ange of $33,000 (see attached memo for further details). FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available in #001-2115-521-64.90 pending budget transfer ($16,800 of this purc hase is reimbursable through our Bullet Proof Vest award pr ogram). RECOMMENDATION The Police Department recommends approval. DELRAY BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM To: Sharon L’Herrou From: Sergeant John Crane-Baker JCB Training and Recruiting Date: November 12, 2012 Subject: SWAT VEST PURCHASE Per our conversation, I have conducted a cost analysis of t he Renegade Vests versus purchasing a vest from another company. As you will see, the Renegade vest will provide us with a substantial savings after five (5) ye ars. Provided are two quotes from respectable companies that can provide us with semi- comparable vests. The first quote is from Tactical Product s Group for $45,000 and the second one is from Point Blank for $44,346 . Both provide the same level of protection with Level IIIA armor and all the attachments (groin, neck and biceps). Additionally, they both provide a six (6) pouch package and two (2) hard armor plates per vest. The difference between these two companies and Renegade is that Renegade has a lifetime warranty on all their carriers and pouches. If there ever is an issue with a carrier or pouch, Renegade will replace them free of charge. This will keep our carriers and pouches in good condition. This means that in five (5) years we will only need to replace the ballistic package rather than replace the entire ve st. The cost of each ballistic package is $551.68 per vest. The cost for twenty (20) ballistic packages i s $11,033.60 . To replace the vests from Point Blank or Tactical Produ cts Group we will need to spend an additional $44,000 to $45,000 in five (5) years as they don’t provide a lifetime warranty on their carriers or pouches. This is a minimum of $33,000 savings, assuming that in five (5) years the cost for ballistics has not incr eased. As you can see the savings will come after the five (5) year mark when we need t o replace the ballistic package. Another reason to go with Renegade rather than the o ther two companies is that Renegade will buy back our old expired ballistics at a rate of $2.00 to $2.50 per pound. This can be used to offset the costs of the vests as well as create some much needed room in our armory. Obviously, I don’t know exactly h ow much of a savings this will be until we send off the old expired ballistics. Regardless , our recommendation is to spend a little more now to save later on. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me so that I may answer them promptly. MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:R. Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE:November 30, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 10.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 LETTER OF INTENT: CCC/ ARTS GARAGE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Direction regarding a Letter of Intent from the Cre ative City Collaborative regarding the OSS retail space. BACKGROUND Staff has received a letter of intent regarding the purchase of the OSS retail space from the Creative City Collaborative in the amount of $2,500,000.00. Staff is seeking Commission direction regarding this latest letter of intent. MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Scott Pape, AICP, FCP, Senior Planner Mark McDonnell, AICP, Assistant Director of Plannin g and Zoning THROUGH:City Manager DATE:November 30, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 10.B. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 CONDITIONAL USE REQUESTS/ATLANTIC PLAZA II ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is cons ideration of conditional use requests to increase t he building height to a maximum of 60 feet (59 feet 4 inches proposed) and to allow a density increase above 30 dwelling units per acre (43 du/ac proposed ) for Atlantic Plaza II, which is a proposed mixed use development on the north side of Atlantic Avenu e, south of N.E. 1stStreet, east of N.E. 6 th Avenue, and west of Veterans Park. BACKGROUND The City Commission considered the development prop osal at its meeting of November 13, 2012. At that time, the development proposal consisted of tw o (2) five-story buildings; two (2) four-story buildings; and two (2) three-story buildings. The commercial component of the de velopment consisted of 52,021 square feet of retail; 28,204 square feet of restaurant; and 79,071 square feet of office. T he residential portion of the development included 442 dwelling units comprised of 70 efficiency units; 151 one-bedroom units; 208 two-bedroom units; and 1 3 three-bedroom units. After considerable public comment and Commission discussion, the project was postponed with the applicant directed to reduce the intensity of the project. The applicant has submitted a revised development p roposal that reduces the total number of residentia l units from 442 dwelling units (51.10 du/ac) to 372 dwelling unit (43 du/ac) for a reduction of 70 dwelling units. The residential mix now consists of 38 efficiency units; 141 one-bedroom units; 180 two-bedroom units; and 13 three-bedroom units. The proposed unit reductions will al l occur within the "footprint" of the buildings that the City Commissi on previously considered. The reduction is achieved by making individual dwelling units larger, which c reates a corresponding reduction in the unit count and density. It is noted that there is no change to the physical layout of the property with respect t o the building locations, height, driveways, landscaping, courtyards, etc. from what the City Commission previously considered. The effect of the current pr oposal on parking is a net reduction in the total number of required parking spaces from 1,092 spaces to 1,000 spaces (92 space reduction). The reduction in required parking results in an increas e in the number of surplus parking spaces that the project will have from the previous 70 space surplu s to a 162 space surplus. The proposed revision will have an insignificant im pact on required findings as they relate to concurrency levels. It is noted that the minor impa cts on concurrency findings such as schools, solid waste, parks, and traffic will be addressed as part of the site plan process. RECOMMENDATION By Separate Motions: 1. Move to approve the conditional use request to a llow for a building height in excess of 48’ (59 ’ 4" proposed) for Atlantic Plaza II , by adopting the findings of fact and law containe d in the staff report, and finding that the request, and approval thereof, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5 (E)(5), 4.3.4(J)(4)(b), 4.4.13(I), and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations; 2. Move to approve the conditional use request to allow for a density in excess of 30 units per acre (43 du/ac) for Atlantic Plaza II , by adopting the findings of fact and law containe d in the staff report, and finding that the request, and app roval thereof, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(E)(5), 4.4.13(I), and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations; With said approvals to be subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval of a site plan by SPRAB that is in gene ral conformance to the submitted sketch plan. 2. That any potential conflicts at the circular dri veway as it relates to multiple functions be addressed during the site plan review process. 3. That the applicant contributes the cost of a shu ttle bus to the City and details of a shuttle stop in the development be finalized during the site approv al process. 4. That modification to NE 7 th Avenue and NE 1st Street (including potentially restricting NE 7th Avenue to southbound only at NE 1st Street) and/or funding of a traffic signal at NE 6th Avenue and NE 1st Stree t is considered during site plan approval to reduce concerns over t raffic encroachment into the neighborhoods from thi s site. 5. That a written finding of concurrency approval f rom the School District be submitted. 6. That provision of the bus shelter and easement i s addressed during the site plan review process. 7. That a minimum of two additional bicycle racks b e provided along Federal Highway and two along Atlantic Avenue. 8.

Our family which has an apartment at the Delray Summit of 1000 Lowry Street is extremely concerned about the dire health and safety consequences in regard to the proposed Atlantic Plaza II Expansion Project. If this proposal is carried out there would be a huge influx of automobi les as well as trucks delivering to restaurants and other establishments. Aside from the ex tensive traffic, the pollution caused by the automobile and truck exhaust may exceed levels acceptable to th e Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Has any agency or planner of this project co nducted an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to determine what the air quality would be as a result of the project ed automotive and truck exhaust pollution? Moreover, there are studies that link excessive car exha ust with many chronic diseases including heart, asthma and breast cancer. For example, The Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project which studied the effects of "Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons" ( PAHs) found in car and truck exha ust showed that women with the highest level of PA H-DNA adducts had a 50 percent increased risk of breast cancer . Occupational exposure studies have looked at workers exposed regularly to gasoline fumes and vehicular exhaust, major sources of PAHs (as well as benzene). These occupational exposures are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer for pr e-menopausal women (Petralia, 1999) and also for men. In the case of male breast cancer, PAHs may increase the risk of brea st cancer specifically in men carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (Palli, 2004). 2 A recent case-control study in western New York State i ndicated that very early life exposure (around the time of birth) to high levels of total su spended particulates, a pr oxy measure for PAH levels, is associated with increased risk of breast can cer in post-menopausal women. Since U.S. statistics currently show that 1 in 8 wo men will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, why would we want to place Delray Beach residents at risk? We hope that you will listen to your concerned cons tituents and not move forward with the proposed development plan of Atlantic Plaza II. We believe that the proposed plan will sign ificantly and permanently degrade the quality of life in Delray Beach. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

20121102 regarding Atlantic Plaza   I  ask  you  to  not  approve  any  new  conditional  use  requests  for  Atlantic  Plaza  since  such  these  requests, if   implemented, will  have  adverse  effects  upon  the  neighborhoods  around  the  development.  The  City  has   already  approved  a  project  that  was  acceptable  to  the  City, the  developer, and  the  residents  of  Delray.  Undoubtedly, you’re  aware  of  the  arguments  that  I’m  presenting  throughout  the  rest  of  this  letter  and  really   don’t  need  to  wade  through  all  of  my  words.  But, I  do  think  that  the  pictures  are  pretty  powerful  in  terms  of   what  can  work, what  makes  a  nice  neighborhood, and  what  fails.  Why  should  the  existing  residents  of  Delray  Beach—those  who  have  a  large, personal  stake  in  this  city  and   have  invested  their  faith  and  income  in  this  locale—have  to  accept  a  diminished  quality  of  life  so  that  a   developer  can  maximize  his  return  on  an  investment  made  at  the  peak  of  a  real  estate  bubble  when  he  now   has  access  to  inexpensive  capital  for  rental  development?  Do  we  really  understand  the  viability  of  this  project?  Just  how  complete  and  accurate  is  the  pro  forma?  Is   there  really  a  demand  for  $55+ per  square  foot  retail  and  office  space? Why  should  we  have  to  bear  additional   infrastructure  and  operational  costs  that  will  be  imposed  by  a  development  for  which  additional  tax  revenues   will  go  into  the  coffers  of  the  CRA, rather  than  the  City’s  operational  budget?  Should  the  taxpayers  be  asked   to  shoulder  the  risk?  Anything  that  has  been  perceived  by  so  many  Delray  residents  throughout  the  City  as  being  both  undesirable   and  adverse  will  surely  result  in  the  project’s  delay.  Traffic:    2  Additional  traffic  congestion  is  inevitable  once  a  project  of  this  density  and  occupancy  opens, and  it   will  exacerbate  the  gridlock  of  downtown.   Traffic  will  increase  within  the  residential  areas  immediately  surrounding  the  project  as  people   search  for  alternatives  to  Federal  and  Atlantic.   Currently, on  a  typical  Saturday, travel  over  a  two  block  stretch  of  Atlantic  Avenue  required  nearly   10  minutes  to  get  from  the  east  side  of  the  bridge  to  seventh  after  the  bridge  reopened.  Atlantic   was  at  a  standstill  west  of  sixth.  Height:   Delray’s  low  skyline  is  a  crucial   element  in  defining  the  unique   character  of  our   community.  Without  it, Delray   risks  losing  that  character  and   simply  becoming   indistinguishable  in  the   concrete  and  asphalt  urban   coastline.   Those  who  justify  the  height  of   this  development  by  using   more  recently  constructed         Another  of  Fort  Lauderdale’s  new  tall, dense   developments  situated  in  a  neighborhood  that’s   only  one  to  two  stories.  buildings  with  higher  heights  obtained  under  conditional  use, and  the  Barr  Terrace, a  building  that   lead  to

The City has already approved a project that was acceptable to the City, the developer, and the residents of Delray. Undoubtedly, you’re aware of the arguments that I’m presenting throughout the rest of this letter and really don’t need to wade through all of my words. But, I do think that the pictures are pretty powerful in terms of what can work, what makes a nice neighborhood, and what fails. Why should the existing residents of Delray Beach—those who have a large, personal stake in this city and have invested their faith and income in this locale—have to accept a diminished quality of life so that a developer can maximize his return on an investment made at the peak of a real estate bubble when he now has access to inexpensive capital for rental development? Do we really understand the viability of this pr oject? Just how complete and accurate is the pro forma? Is there really a demand for $55+ pe r square foot retail and office space? Why should we have to bear additional infrastructure and operational costs that will be imposed by a development for which additional tax revenues will go into the coffers of the CRA, rather than the City’s operational budget? Should the taxpayers be asked to shoulder the risk? Anything that has been perceived by so many Delray residents throughout the City as being both undesirable and adverse will surely result in the project’s delay. Traffic: Additional traffic congestion is inevitable once a project of this density and occupancy opens, and it will exacerbate the gridlock of downtown. Traffic will increase within the residential areas immediately surrounding the project as people search for alternatives to Federal and Atlantic. Currently, on a typical Saturday, travel over a two block stretch of Atlantic Avenue required nearly 10 minutes to get from the east side of the bridge to seventh after the bridge reopened. Atlantic was at a standstill west of sixth. Height: Delray’s low skyline is a crucial element in defining the unique character of our community. Without it, Delray risks losing that character and simply becoming indistinguishable in the concrete and asphalt urban coastline. Those who justify the height of this development by using more recently constructed Another of Fort Lauderdale ’s new tall, d ense developments situated in a neighborhood that’s only one to two stories. Dominek 2012 December 02 Page 2 of 6 buildings with higher heights obtained under conditional use, and the Barr Terrace, a building that lead to Delray Beach imposing height limits, demonstrate an inability to learn from past mistakes. As the saying goes , two wrongs do not make a right. Allowing this greater height will serve as a precedent for increase heights for other buildings, and you will face the argument that you allowed it for other developers and must allow it for every future applicant then before you. There are already two additional conditional use requests before you beyond that are asking for conditional use approvals. If height limits are not protected, we will have canyons like Boca and Fort Lauderdale. Density: The proposed density combined with the clearly inadequate amount of parking for combined residential and commercial use is unacceptable. Many existing residents— investors in the city of Delray Beach--fee l that our property values will be diminished because of the adverse effects of the project as proposed. Do we really need to jam more and more people into smaller and smaller spaces? How does that affect the quality of life in Delray? The promise of the developer to require one year leases to minimize turnover is but a promise. Plus, leases typically have a sublet provision. The small size of these units and the preponderance of studios and one-bedroom units will not encourage occupancy by more affluent residents who are able to afford the expensive restaurants and boutiques that will presumably accompany the commercial development of this plat. We will likely see extensive apartment sharing. In addition, I understand that the parking allowances have been diminished in the most recent iteration. The number was insufficie nt to begin with and will be an ongoing source of problems in a car-oriented mixed-use development. Feel and Ambience The feel and ambience described by the current proposal is not consistent with what a majority of residents in the nearby neighborhoo ds want and probably not consistent with what many residents of Delray want as well. Downtown Atlantic Avenue increasingly feels lik e a strip of nightclubs and bars at night. We don’t need this activity to move further east, thereby depriving the current residents in the area of the quiet enjoyment of their homes. We don’t want – and we don’t need - another South Beach or an Ybor City on our doorsteps. It would adversely affect our neighborhoods and community. Some people have mentioned that Atlantic Plaza could be like a Lincoln Road or a City Place. However, we must question whether those are appropri ate models for Delray to aspire to. Why not look to examples like Naples , Florida or Charleston, South Carolina? Dominek 2012 December 02 Page 3 of 6 Compare t hese pristine sidewalk scenes in Naples to Delray Beach street scenes.

Both Charleston and Naples demonstrates the ability to create vibrant mixed use neighborhood without having to erec t buildings of excessive height. Many artists and galleries have simply been priced out of Delray. They can’t afford the expensive rents that our new construction and high pri ces demand. The same applies to many of the new small businesses that enhance Delray, but have located in older buildings. Dominek 2012 December 02 Page 6 of 6 But Napl es did allow a mixed use complex with canyons and rentals. I t made the developer money. It was constructed at least four years ago, and there are empty store fronts still. It ’s not a particularly successful pr oject. It does provide housing , but it’s pretty devoid of street and of retail traffic. We do not need an open air shopping mall like City Place or the Village of Gulfstream Park in Hallandale. The latter is already showing the signs of wear and tear of poor construction, and its retail space has not been fully rented out – even after several years of operation. The already decaying construction of The Village of Gulfstream Park, an open -air shopping center developed not along ago in Ha llandale, Florida. Part of the charm of empty stores in The Village of Gulfstream Park. In summary, I ask you to not approve the additional conditional use requests for Atlantic Plaza because they will have adverse effects upon the neighborhoods around that ground.

The five (5) Board Members of the HOA stand in unified oppos ition to the proposed Conditional Use Variance sought by the developers of Atlantic Plaza II. No t one Board Member has spoken to an owner in the community that supports the plan. The HOA Board unanimously approved the following statement. "The Mallory Square HOA Board opposes any Conditional Use Va riance that would allow the Atlantic Plaza II project density greater than the 30 residential units per acre that is allowed per the Delray Beach City Code and Master Plan. The HOA Board also believes that the parking facilitie s must be built in conformance to the City Code and that no reduction in the amount of parking requir ed under the present City Code should be gr anted. Increased density is a great concern as future development takes place in Delray Beach, and projects, especially ones of this size and location, should be built in accordance with the Master Plan and City Code." Mallory Square is a development of 84 townhomes completed in 2004. The density of our community is 22 units per acre WITH NO ADDITIONAL commercial office, reta il, or restaurant space. Like Atlantic Plaza, our development is located on Federal Highway. We are three (3) blocks s outh of the planned Atlantic Plaza II development. Please also see the attached letter from Ralf Brookes, an atto rney Board Certified in City , County and Local Government law. The positions expressed in his letter are shared by our HOA Board. It is our sincere hope that the Mayor and City Commission w ill reject the current Conditional Use Variance request, and any other request that does not conform to the present City Code and Master Plan. The developers of Atlantic Plaza II should either build with the approvals they obtained in a l ong process with community input, or develop a project that conforms with the City Code and Master Plan without varianc es. Proceeding with this project in any other manner will likely result in area residents, HOA's, COA's and community groups addressing their grievances and objections through the court system. Obviously, that is something we would like to avoid, but will pursue, shoul d the City grant Conditional Use Variances that increase the density and scope of this project and are objectionable to local residents on many grounds. 2 Thank you, in advance, fo r your consideration.

Mallory Circle, Delray Beach Fl 33483. My clients continue to object to the revised proposed conditional use which is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and not in compliance with the intent of these Land Development Regulations: Land Development Regulations: Sections 2.4.5(E)(5) Conditional Use: (5) Findings: In addition to provisions of Chapter Three, the City Commission must make findings that establishing the conditional use will not: (a) Have a significantly detrimental effect upon the stability of the neighborhood within which it will be located. Section 4.3.4(J)(4)(b)(iv)(3) “That open areas, such as courtyards, plazas, and landscaped setbacks , be provided in order to add interest and provide relief from the building mass.” Section 4.4.13(I) Central Business (CBD) District: (A) Purpose and Intent: The Central Business District (CBD) Zone District is established in order to preserve and protect the cultural and historic aspects of downtown Delray Beach and simultaneously provide for the stimulation and enhancement of the vitality and economic growth of this special area. Central Core: The regulations are intended to result in development that preserves the downtown’s historic moderate scale , while promoting a balanced mix of uses that will help the area evolve into a traditional, self- sufficient downtown. Section 3.2.3 (D) “The City shall evaluate the effect that any street widening or traffic circulation modification may have upon an exis ting neighborhood. lf it is determined that the widening or modification will be detrimental and result in a degradation of the neighborhood, the project shall not be permitted .” 2 Section 3.2.3 (E) “Development of vacant la nd which is zoned for residential purposes shall be planned in a manner which is consistent with adjacent development regardless of zoning designations.” Section 3.2.3 (I) “Performance Standards These standards sh all apply to all applications for new development and modification of existing dev elopments which would result in a density greater than thirty (30) dwelling units per acre in the Commercial Core…. (1)…Notwithstanding the above, the approving body may deny an application for increased density where it is determined that the proposed project is not compatible in terms of building mass and intensity of use with surrounding development .” Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element , Objective C-3 “The Central Business District (CBD) and surrounding neighborhoods, including A-1-A, Seacrest and Swinton Avenue represents the essence of what is Delray Beach i.e. a "village by the sea".

The community wants an Atlantic Plaza II redevelopmen t but we have a big disconnect with the developer. Our group has discuss the proposed revisions that will be presented to the City Commission tomorrow evening and continue to share the following concerns. The project is still incompa tible with Atlantic Avenue and surrounding us es because it is too massive for this location (only the interior walls a nd floor plan have been changed):  the size and mass of the structure itsel f has not been reduced in size  the revised density still far exceeds existing density in the area  the revised project furthe r reduces parking spaces The project's parking and traffic flow patterns will in terfere with existing surrounding uses and traffic and p arking impacts from this project will spill over into the surrounding neighbor hood and Atlantic Avenue.

Eastern Standard Time Subj: (no subject) Dear Vice-Mayor Thomas Carney, As a long time Delray Beach resident, I would like to comprehend why such an important project as the Atlantic Plaza 11 is being rushed though a process that could alter the very concept of "The Village by the Sea". I understand the need for the development of the aformentioned property, but I do feel the project as it now stands has serious problems as to the density and height of the buildings. We have a de finite problem with traffic now, imagine adding vast numbers of cars into the mix,especially with the bridge and trains. I love this town. I don't want to be living in a mini "Times Square". Please think of your constituents and implement changes to the project that will enhance our village, not destroy it. 2 Thank you for your consideration, Beatrice Ann Rizzo 50 East Rd.

In a letter to the Delray Beach Commission received on November 29, the development team states that they still intend to ask for Conditional Use approval of their plan, but "with a meaningful reduction in density". No such plan has been available for review by neighboring residents or local public interest groups at this time. Because we are running out of time to provide substantive input to the revised plan, I join my neighbors and residents of Delray Beach in a request that the City Commission take steps either to remove the project from the Public Hearing Agenda (allowing the Developer the courtesy of a status report), or vote for further continuation of the hearing pending adequate staff and public review of the revised plan. There is much speculation as to why this is being rushed thru. Your obligation is to make good decisions, not hurried ones.

It also quoted a letter from the developer saying, "Delray is fortunate to have engaged citizens who are passionate about the City they call home". This whole project is starting to smell. Repeated revisions to the plan appear to be minimal, designed only to overcome objections by Delray Beach residents. Smarmy comments in a letter further convince me that this development may be in the financial interests of the developer and maybe nearby businesses but not the residents of Delray Beach. I am sick of being strung along. This project is objectionable for reasons stated previously and repeatedly by concerned citizens who simply want to maintain the unique character of a special place. I urge you to deny the conditional use request. Even if it met existing zoning and other land use restrictions, I am opposed to a large- scale development in that space. Delray is not a failing city needing large projects to stimulate the local economy. Incremental evolution is fine, a safer bet than a bet-the-ranch project. Carleton H.

My clients continue to object to the revised proposed conditiona l use which is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and not in compliance with the intent of these Land Development Regulations: Land Development Regulations: Sections 2.4.5(E)(5) Conditional Use: (5) Findings: In addition to provisions of Chapter Three, the City Commission must make findings that establishing the conditional use will not: (a) Have a significantly detrimental effect upon the stability of the neighborhood within which it will be located. Section 4.3.4(J)(4)(b)(iv)(3) “That open areas, such as courtyards, plazas, and landscaped setbacks , be provided in order to add interest and provide relief from the building mass.” Section 4.4.13(I) Central Business (CBD) District: (A) Purpose and Intent: The Central Business District (CBD) Zone District is established in order to preserve and protect the cultural and historic aspects of downtown Delray Beach and simultaneously provide for the stimulation and enhancement of the vitality and economic growth of this special area. Central Core: The regulations are intended to result in development that preserves the downtown’s historic moderate scale , while promoting a balanced mix of uses that will help the area evolve into a traditional, self- sufficient downtown. Section 3.2.3 (D) “The City shall evaluate the effect that any street widening or traffic circulation modification may have upon an exis ting neighborhood. lf it is determined that the widening or modification will be detrimental and result in a degradation of the neighborhood, the project shall not be permitted .” 2 Section 3.2.3 (E) “Development of vacant la nd which is zoned for residential purposes shall be planned in a manner which is consistent with adjacent development regardless of zoning designations.” Section 3.2.3 (I) “Performance Standards These standards sh all apply to all applications for new development and modification of existing dev elopments which would result in a density greater than thirty (30) dwelling units per acre in the Commercial Core….

Our family which has an apartment at the Delray Summit of 1000 Lowry Street is extremely concerned about the dire health and safety consequences in regard to the proposed Atlantic Plaza II Expansion Project. If this proposal is carried out there would be a huge influx of automobi les as well as trucks delivering to restaurants and other establishments. Aside from the ex tensive traffic, the pollution caused by the automobile and truck exhaust may exceed levels acceptable to th e Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Has any agency or planner of this project co nducted an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to determine what the air quality would be as a result of the project ed automotive and truck exhaust pollution? Moreover, there are studies that link excessive car exha ust with many chronic diseases including heart, asthma and breast cancer. For example, The Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project which studied the effects of "Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons" ( PAHs) found in car and truck exha ust showed that women with the highest level of PA H-DNA adducts had a 50 percent increased risk of breast cancer . Occupational exposure studies have looked at workers exposed regularly to gasoline fumes and vehicular exhaust, major sources of PAHs (as well as benzene). These occupational exposures are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer for pre-menopausal women (Petralia, 1999) a nd also for men. In the case of male breast cancer, PAHs may increase the risk of brea st cancer specifically in men carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (Palli, 2004). A recent case-control study in western New York State i ndicated that very early life exposure (around the time of birth) to high levels of total su spended particulates, a pr oxy measure for PAH levels, is associated with increased risk of breast can cer in post-menopausal women. Since U.S. statistics currently show that 1 in 8 wo men will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, why would we want to place Delray Beach residents at risk? We hope that you will listen to your concerned cons tituents and not move forward with the proposed development plan of Atlantic Plaza II. We believe that the proposed plan will sign ificantly and permanently degrade the quality of life in Delray Beach. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What's the rush? Let's get this right! This is a huge opportunity. We support a redevelopment of Atlantic Plaza, but feel that time and care should be taken to ensure that this project "fits" with our Village By the Sea at mosphere, which is the reason for Delray's success. This piece of property can afford to be higher end than much of the rental housing that has been foisted upon our downtown so far. It is unique and desirable, being close to the ocean, and on the intracoastal. This should be a beautiful anc hor for the east end of downtown Delray, not just a profit center. We suggest fewer, larger, Condominium apartments above, with set backs and balconies. Retail and business on the lower levels. Courtyards and restaurants that can be explored. Think charm and beauty, as well as maximizing profits. Delray does NOT have to rush this. We can afford to be careful and picky. Please make this a joint project with the ci tizens of this lovely small town. We lik e it small and charming, or we wouldn't have moved here in the first place.

For purposes of this policy, a public facility mean s any building, facility, park land, or other publi c space owned by or under the control of the the City , including interior and component spaces integral to the whole. This policy does not govern the naming of streets, per the direction of the City Commission, which adopted the following policy on January 25, 1994: "It is the policy of the City Commission of the Cit y of Delray Beach, Florida not to entertain requests for the changing of street names in order to recogn ize or honor individuals."

For-profit entities of any type shall not be considered a civic or charitable group. B. “Individual”shall mean a person who has made a substantial cont ribution to the community, either through civic involvement, involvement in hi storical events relevant to the specific City property, financial contribution or to the geo graphical location of specific City property.

E. “City Property” shall mean City-owned or controlled real property, public facilitie s such as buildings or parks, features or attributes of a fac ility such as a bench, tree, bridge, walkway, hallway or room, or other public venue.

The naming proposal shall be in writing and shall be reviewed by the City Manager or his/her designee, and if fou nd to be in compliance with applicable City policies, shall be referred to a naming committee established under this policy. Honorary naming proposals must include the credenti als, character and reputation of the individual, civic or charitable group for whom the naming is be ing considered. As such, nominations submitted for consideration must be accompanied by appropriate su pporting documentation. The City shall establish a “Facility Naming Committ ee” to review and make recommendations to the Commission on naming proposals.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:R. Brian Shutt, City Attorney DATE:November 28, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 10.E. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING THE NOISE ORDINANCE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Provide direction to staff regarding possible chang es to the recently adopted noise ordinance. BACKGROUND The City Attorney’s Office brought forward a revise d noise ordinance at the Commission’s August 21, 2012 meeting due to a recent court decision which d etermined that certain portions of the existing noi se ordinance were unconstitutional. After that ordina nce was passed there were two other ordinances that were also adopted related to the City’s noise code, with the last adoption taking place o n October 16, 2012. Since that time, staff has received comments from businesses that would be affected by the implementation of the ordinance expressing concerns regarding the revised ordinance. Staff is seeking Commission direction regarding the revised noise ordinance to determine if the Commission wishes to make any changes as it relates to the concerns (the level of noise that would constitute a violation and the fact that the ordina nce does not allow greater flexibility during the d ay or evening hours) raised by the businesses. RECOMMENDATION Commission discretion. MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:November 30, 2012 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 10.F. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF DECEMBER 4, 2012 PAY INCREASE FOR CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Consideration of a pay increase for non-bargaining unit employees. BACKGROUND Attached is a copy of the City's financial report a s of September 30 for Fiscal 2012 which was previously forwarded to the Commission. Because of increased revenues and extraordinary efforts by all departments to minimize expenditures we finishe d the year with a surplus of some $3,000,000. This is in contrast with a projected deficit exceeding $1,000,000 in January. I would also point out that this year, for the first time in four years, we actually had a small increase in our total tax roll. Pay for non-bargaining unit employees (Civil Service) was froze n as of October 1, 2008. Because of collective bargaining agreements already in place, our bargaining unit employees continued to receive pay increases for two more years. The only increas e non-bargaining unit employees have received since October 1, 2008 is 1% on October 1, 2010. It is ve ry important that we begin to catch up on pay increases for our non-bargaining unit employees. Therefore, I strongly r ecommend that we give our non-bargaining unit employees a pay increase to be effe ctive on November 17. Employees would see the increase beginning the first pay period in Dece mber. I recommend that employees hired before October 1, 2011 receive a 3% increase, and employee s hired between October 1, 2011 and October 1, 2012 receive a 1% increase. The total anual cost t o the General Fund will be approximately $400,000 going forward. The cost for Fiscal 2013 will be ab out $340,000, which we would fund from the prior year's surplus RECOMMENDATION That the Commission approve the pay increase for no n-bargaining unit employees as outlined above.

A total of $1,712,39 0 was made available to provide community identified prior ity needs benefiting very low, low and moderate -income residents during the 201 1 -201 2 Fiscal Year. During this second year of the Five Year Consolidated Plan, the City of Delray Beach pursued efforts to stabilize unfavorable conditions and revitalize n eighborhoods throughout the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Target Area in order to improve the quality of life for our citizens. The City of Delray Beach has continued its efforts to support neighborhood associations, beautification projects , str eet and infrastructure improvements and development of the downtown area. The Community Improvement Department continues to provide concentrated code enforcement, investments in infrastructure, neighborhood beautification improvements, opportunities for ho meownership and housing rehabilitation through the various programs and investment strategies highlighted in this annual report. The City’s capacity to increase innovative affordable homeownership activities has been enhanced due to the successfu l continu ation of the Delray Beach Community Land Trust (CLT) and partnership with the Delray Beach Community Development Corporation . The City is pleased to report that it was successful in meeting the housing delivery goals established under its Annual Action P lan, providing housing rehabilitation assistance to thirty - five (35) households utilizing a combination of CDBG, Curb Appeal, DRI, NSP, RCMP, and SHIP dollars.

This year $79,800 of these funds were utilized to complete housing rehabilitation project s . These projects will be discussed in greater detail later in this report. In addition, during this rating period, the City continued to take action to overcome the current foreclosure crisis by administering and implementing the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP1). The Community Improvement Department was awarded $1,905,005 from the Florida Department of Community of Affairs , NSP 1 funds to car ry out two strategies under which eligible activities will be undertaken . The Delray Beach Community Land Trust provided a 2011 -12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report October 1, 20 11 – September 30, 20 12 7 local match of $400,000 towards the NSP 1 .

AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING The City continually pursues diverse avenues in expanding its actions to affirmatively further fair housing . During this review period the City of Delray Beach continued contract with the Fair Housing Center of the Greater Palm Beaches (FHC) Inc., a non -profit fa ir housing organization providing service county -wide with city funds . Although FHC, Inc. does not have the authority to enforce fair housing regulations, the organization accomplishes its goals through public education seminars and the ability to initiate legal proceedings against housing providers accused of violating fair housing laws. The activities of FHC, Inc. are focused throughout Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties (including the City of Delray Beach). During this review period FHC, Inc. conducte d a total of six (6 ) educational workshops/seminars as contracted. These workshops were provided for target area residents, civic organizations, students at area schools, local realtors, and community based organizations. T he City continued to utilize it s in -house Inspector , assigned to the Code Enforcement Division which was funded from general revenue dollars provided by the City . In addition to providing one -on -one landlord/property manager trainer sessions, referrals for conflict resolution services involving fair housing issues and formal mediations related to landlord -tenant law, the Inspector refers clients to FHC on an as -needed basis. V . ANALYSIS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO FAIR HOUSING CHOICE The City recently revised its Analysis of Impediments (AI) in October 2011 . The following impediments and actions were identified: Impediment 1 : High rates of Predatory Lending in the City of Delray Beach among minorities Predatory lending, most recently in the area of re -financing, ultimately strips borrowers of home equity, ruins their credit records, and increases the likelihood of foreclosure. Studies conducted in 2008 due to the new Neighborhood Stabilization Progra m show staggering evidence of these lending practices in the City’s Northwest and Southwest neighborhoods, According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Census Tracts 65.01, 65.02, 69.03, 69.07, and 69.08 are currently experiencing the Cit y’s highest risk of abandonment due to pending foreclosures. Home prices in these areas have declined 16.3% from 2007 to 2008. Vacancy rates in this area are projected to be currently in the range of 4% to 9.3%. It is assumed, based on national studies and the local statistics notated above, that differential treatment in the selling, and in re -financing property is prevalent among minority households in Delray Beach. Action : The City of Delray Beach continue d to support non -profit partners in their e fforts to educate residents about mortgage products, predatory lending and how to build credit. There is a need for increased credit counseling and education . Contracted workshops through FHC were geared to specifically include Predatory Lending Educatio n and Support Initiative provides seminars for community based organizations, civic and faith based groups, and Condo/Homeowner Associations to inform them about Federal and State Laws pertaining to 2011 -12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report October 1, 20 11 – September 30, 20 12 9 predatory lending and fair housing lending. Delray Beach residents will have access to the p roject s toll free hotline, which utilizes a public information campaign featuring public service announcements to various media outlets, and distributes anti -predatory lending educational materials in order to heighten p ublic awareness. Timeline : Increased promotion of existing N eighborhood R esource C enter (NRC) and FHC services will co ntinue throughout the City . Impediment 2 : Lack of Public Awareness and Education concerning Fair Housing Rights As stated by the Sta te of Florida’s Consolidated Plan 2011 -2015 , persons protected under fair housing laws are typically unaware of their rights or what actions constitute a violation of rights. Bringing awareness of Fair Housing laws to Delray Beach residents assists them i n learning how to initiate the complaint process. The City of Delray Beach believes that a contributing factor to overall decline in fair housing complaints may be due, in part, to the lack of education . Action: The City continued to make a concerted ef fort to further fair housing education. Educational efforts include basic fair housing education about fair housing laws, awareness training about agencies available to process complaints on a local level, education in identifying discriminatory practices when seeking housing (i.e. geographical steering), home buyer education and counseling in all areas of the City. The City will continue work in partnership with the FHC in order to implement these initiatives. The C ity has established a working relations hip with Legal Aid of Palm Beach County to strengthen the C ity’s ability to monitor Fair Housing concerns and issues throughout Palm Beach County and the City of Delray Beach. The City utilizes a monthly and quarterly new s letter, website and the distribut ion of information via its monthly water bill to residents (which is mailed to over 20,500 households) to disseminate important information regarding fair housing. The City also advertised Fair Housing issues in a newly established newsletter targeting CD BG target area residents. The City will work in partnership with FHC to coordinate public service announcements. Timeframe: Increased actions to heighten public awareness is ongoing. Impediment 3: Lack of adequate Housing Choice Vouchers to support lo w income renters as evidenced by the Delray Beach Housing Authority’s waiting list. There are 1336 families presently on the Delray Beach Housing Authority’s (DBHA) Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) waiting list. Families generally wait five years before they receive housing assistance. In October 2010, DBHA received almost 7000 responses to 1000 slots on the HCV waiting list. This incredible response indicates the inadequacy of available affordable housing for low income renters. 2011 -12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report October 1, 20 11 – September 30, 20 12 10 Action: The Delray Beach Housing Authority has established a Strategic Goal to increase the availability of decent, safe, and affordable housing by expanding the supply of assisted housing. This will be accomplished by applying for additional rental vouchers whenever the opportu nity is made available through HUD’s Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process, Timeframe: Ongoing, upon issuance of HUD NOFA. I. Actions to Improve Public Housing The Delray Beach Housing Authority’s (DBHA) Public Housing Development. was demolished in 2008, and was the only public housing facility located in the jurisdiction of Delray Beach. The development was located within the southwest section of the designated CDBG target area and is in census tract 68.01. Carver Estates was built in the early 1970’s and although maintained by the Authority with its limited resources, the buildings deteriorated over time. The DBHA was unsuccessful in its fourth attempt at HOPE VI funding, but has partnered with a private developer to redevelop the former publi c housing site into a mixed income development financed through 4% and 9% Tax Credits and Bonds. The project will consist of 144 affordable family units and 84 elderly Project Based Voucher units. Ground -breaking is scheduled for January 2013. I. Actions to Replace Affordable Rental Units During FY2005 -2006, the City secured $1,000,000 Hurricane Housing Recovery (HHR) Program funds. The HHR program was created for the purpose of providing funds to assist those areas of the state with the greatest housing damage from Hurricane Wilma. The Florida Legislature appropriated one -time hurricane housing recovery funds which are administered by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). Staff collaborated with the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Delra y Beach Housing Authority to develop strategies and to leverage dollars and resources to identify projects that would best serve the housing needs of the very low -, low - and moderate -income households. In response to the loss of Carver Estates, the City c reated a Rental Housing Development strategy in its HHRP Local Housing Assistance Plan. Under this strategy, the City partnered with the CRA to rehabilitate two separate buildings within the CDBG Target Area for the purpose of creating twenty three (23) a ffordable rental units. The CRA purchased the historic La France Hotel located on NW 4 th Avenue as well as parcel of adjacent land for $475,764.60. In addition the City’s HHR investment of $500.000. the CRA spent $2.336.790 toward the rehab and construct ion of additional units. The second building, 133 NW 5 th Avenue, was purchased by the CRA for $1,225,000. While the City allocated a total of $500,000 in HHR funding toward this project, during FY06 -07 $203,520 of these funds were expended on rehabilitatio n of units. The CRA contributed a total of $168,647.46 to the rehabilitation of these units. During this rating period (FY10 -11) all units continued to be occupied by income eligible tenants. City staff annually monitors files for income eligibility and al l 23 units are occupied by residents at or 2011 -12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report October 1, 20 11 – September 30, 20 12 11 below 100% of median income. Of the Twenty Two (2 2 ) units, presently fourteen are occupied by Extremely Low -Income households, four (4 ) by Very Low -Income households, three (3) by Low -Income households, and one (1 ) Moderate -Income households. The DBHA, through its non -profit instrumentality, the Delray Housing Group (DHG), currently manages both the La France Apartments and Carolyn Quince Apartments under a 5 -year management agreement with the CRA. This arrange ment provides another layer of assurance that the units will remain affordable to the City’s low income community, OTHER DBHA ACTIVITIES:  Utilizing its Replacement Housing Factor funds, DBHA acquired and rehabilitated 5 units to be used for Public Housin g purposes. All units are currently occupied by eligible families.  Through the City’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program. DBHA/DHG acquired 6 housing units and manages them as additional affordable housing for extremely low income families. V I . AFFORDAB LE HOUSING ACTIONS Eliminating barriers to affordability is a primary objective of the Community Land Trust programs and grants for housing rehabilitation. During this review period, the City continued to promote affordable housing through its Neighborho od Services Division. Various resources (as described throughout this report) are utilized to maintain and expand the City’s inventory of affordable units. Affordable Housing Advisory Committee In 2008 the Delray Beach City Commission appointed ten memb ers to the established Affordable Housing Advisory Committee. The Committee was established by Resolution 12 -08. Florida Statute 420.9076 mandates that all local governments currently receiving State Housing Initiatives Partnership SHIP funding establish a committee to review the City’s established policies and procedures, ordinances, land development regulations, and comprehensive plan. The purpose of the committee is to recommend specific actions or initiatives to encourage or facilitate affordable hou sing while protecting the ability of the property to appreciate in value. Actions to Overcome the Foreclosure Crisis The City of Delray Beach continues to implement Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) 1,905,505 funds awarded from T he Florida Depar tment of Community Affairs . These funds were matched with an additional $400,000 from the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency . The Community Improvement Department NSP funds are being utilized to carry out two housing strategies . The City of Delr ay Beach has partnered with the Delray Beach Housing Authority, Delray Beach Community Land Trust and Delray Beach Community Development Corporation to assist with the disposition of NSP properties. 2011 -12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report October 1, 20 11 – September 30, 20 12 12 The City has obligated $2.3 million of the NSP grant awa rd for the purchase and rehabilitation of nineteen (19 ) foreclosed and/or abandoned single -family homes throughout Delray Beach: The City in FY2011 -201 2 purchased two (2) additional bank -owned homes increasing our inventory to 19 properties . Eight (8) pro perties have been sold to eligible families. Five (5) have been donated to DBHA for affordable rental. Two (2 ) propert ies are currently being rehabbed. Two (2 ) properties are under contract and three (3 ) are being marketed for sale. The City continue s to s ell purchased properties and use program income to continue the acquisition, rehab and sale process. NSP Strategy 1: Housing Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Homes for Sale to Households with Incomes Less than 120% of Area Median Income (AMI) - The purpos e of this strategy is to stabilize the Delray Beach’s areas of greatest need by providing a means for the acquisition. rehabilitation, and resale of residential units which are presently real -estate/bank owned (REO). The City is work ing with banks to acqu ire residential units that have been foreclosed and abandoned within the areas of greatest need. A minimum of t welve (1 2 ) u nits will be sold to households whose income does not exceed 120% of AMI. NSP Strategy 2: Housing Acquisition/Rehabilitation of Ho mes for Lease to Households with Incomes Less than 50% of AMI - The purpose of this strategy is to turn foreclosed residential properties into decent, safe, affordable rental housing for households at or below 50% of AMI. The City has acquire d and rehabil itate d single family housing units within the designated NSP area of greatest need. A minimum of five (5) u nits will be donated to the Delray Beach Housing Authority /Delray Housing Group for the purpose of renting units to households whose income does not exceed 50% of AMI. The Five -Year Consolidated Plan determined that all three household income categories are prioritized as follows: “Extremely Low” 0 -30%. “Very Low” 31 -50%. “Low ”. 51 -80% during this review period, priority housing needs were addresse d as follows: Existing Owner -Occupied Housing Units Priority: Extremely Low Income (0 -30% ELI) and Very Low -Income (31 -50% VLI) Existing Homeowners and First -Time Homebuyers; and Low - Income (51 -80% LI) First -Time Homebuyers: Community Development B lock Grant (CDBG) Sixteen (16 ) owner -occupied units were addressed. Twelve (12) was completed (full rehab) utilizing a total of $173,393.06 in CDBG funds, providing housing rehabilitation at average of approximately $10,837.00 per unit. Of the household, 2 w ere classified as extremely low, 0 as very -low income and 1 0 as low income category; 9 of the households assisted were classified as Black, non -Hispanic . Nine (4 ) additional units are currently underway . Disaster Recovery Initiative (DRI) Two (2 ) owner -occupied units were completed (full rehab) utilizing a total of $51,320 in DRI funds, providing housing rehabilitation at average of approximately $25,660 per unit. Of 2011 -12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report October 1, 20 11 – September 30, 20 12 13 the household, one (1) w as classified as very -low and one (1) as low income categ ory; both of the households assisted were classified as having Hispanic background. Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) The City has obligated $2.3 million of the NSP grant award for the purchase and rehabilitation of nineteen (19 ) foreclosed and/o r abandoned single -family homes throughout Delray Beach: Eight (8) properties have been sold to eligible families. Five (5) have been donated to DBHA for affordable rental. Two (2 ) propert ies are currently being rehabbed. Two (2 ) properties are under co ntract and three (3 ) are being marketed for sale. The City continue s to s ell purchased properties and use program income to continue the acquisition, rehab and sale process. Residential Construction Mitigation Program The City of Delray Beach, Neighbor hood Service Division in August 2011 was awarded grant funding in the amount of $150,000 from the Division of Emergency Management (DEM) to implement the Hurricane Loss Mitigation Program. This competitive grant program funding was available through the Re sidential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP) and was used to harden income eligible and qualified single -family homes within the community that are in need of hurricane retrofitting. The city utilized this funding source to leverage eighteen (18 ) homes for hurricane retrofitting, estimated to cost between $2,500 - $15,000 per home. Priority: Very Low Income (0 -50% MFI) and Low -Income (51 -80% MFI) Existing Homeowners and First -Time Homebuyers; and Moderate -Income (80 -120% MFI) First -Time Homebuyers. During FY0 8 -0 9 , the City allocated $450,000 to the CLT in support of the Sub Recipient Housing Partnership Program. The maximum subsidy available to assist eligible homebuyers is $75,000. Under this program, subsidy is awarded (based on occupants income eligibility) to the CLT to be applied towards the principal reduction of construction costs of CLT units. This strategy enhances each unit’s affordability by keeping the subsidy joined to the unit as opposed to the occupant. Buying down the cost of each unit reduces the sales price for the occupant and enhances the unit’s affordability in perpetuity, During FY 11 -12 , the CLT expend ed $51,500 in SHIP subsidy toward the CLT Sub -Recipient Housing Partnership for First Time Homebuyers. Assi s tance was provi ded for a total of 2 households, of which both w ere classified a s extremely -low income. In addition, the City continued to implement its Family Workforce Housing Ordinance which was adopted in November 2004. The Ordinance provides regulations and incen tives to encourage developers to build housing within the City’s CDBG target area; and includes and preserves the Family/Workforce housing along with market rate housing. Performance criteria contained in the Ordinance controls the proportions of workforc e housing to market rate housing in terms of bedroom sizes, for sale and for rent, and housing product types, as well as in other ways that would promote development of workforce housing units. 2011 -12 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report October 1, 20 11 – September 30, 20 12 14 Covenants and restrictions apply to both for sale and for ren t workforce housing to ensure sustained affordability for a longer term. The intention of this policy is to make affordable and diverse housing opportunities available throughout the City. In FY 11 -12 three new workforce housing projects were approve d by City Commission. The new projects include Alta Congress Owner, LLC,; Behringer Hayward Delray , LLC, and SP5 Wood Midtown Delray. VI I .
