Based on the scores the Board announced the O’Donnell Agency will be awarded the PR/Marketing Contract. Staff will negotiate the terms of the agreement within 14 days as stated in RFP 2018 -001. NEW BUSINESS Saturday Soiree Muriente explained that she recently met with First Service Residential Management, which manage most of the condos in downtown to identify potential residential placemaking programs. Placemaking programs involve temporary activations of spaces that can provide new activities in open areas for the enjoyment of residents and visitors in a meaningful way. At the residential management meet up, Saturday Soiree was identified as a program to engage the western boundary residents, who have on average a 1:1 pet ownership ratio and few dining and entertainment options easily accessible, with a pop-up food truck, music, yoga, and pet-centric monthly activation. Bringing together residents of the Edge and Montecito, this is the first program of its kind to be held west of the Tri-rail station generating ideas for a new social and economic opportunity to the area. It is proposed that the DDA help organize and execute the first series, generating a toolkit on how to implement other residential placemaking programs for 2019. Muriente plans on continuing efforts to connect with all residential management and then host quarterly meetings to brainstorm additional activations and obtain residential feedback.

Tax Increment Financing Clemente lead a discussion of Tax Increment Financing (TIF_ and the potential of other entities requesting a TIF arrangement. He explained the framing of the DDA Budget and the specific types of programs the budget supports. He went on to explain how the funding of the DDA is structured and the timing of funding in contrast to how the funding of a city or CRA is funded. Clemente then provided an example of how a TIF arrangement with an example project or projects would impact the overall service delivery from the DDA. He is seeking direction from the Board and recommend that at a minimum we draft a policy. Bruce Lewis made a public comment requesting the board to consider a multiyear grant agreement for projects that provide an extraordinary public benefit. He also requested that the board consider putting a policy into place. Chase stated that having a TIF policy in the DDA toolbox would be beneficial however to be cautious and aware that the DDA doesn’t provide an Economic Development purpose. The focus should be on outcomes that activate the downtown and are in line with the DDA’s mission and goals. He would like to see staff provide guidelines and draft a policy. Shabazz agreed that a policy should be put into place and would prefer the terminology of grant versus TIF agreement. Hurley Lane asked if there are other DDA’s in Florida with similar programs. Clemente stated that there are not any exactly this way. Nalley and Gerard stated that very specific clearly defined stipulations would have to be included in the policy to protect the DDA from having every developer requesting funding and that additional staffing would be needed. Reikenis stated that the CRA is better suited for this type of work because they are designed to service this purpose. DDA’s are better served to enhance the overall desirability of the downtown. Lohman stated that the DDA cannot legally commit to funding for more than one year because we cannot budget for more than one Fiscal Year at a time. A fiscal funding out clause is included in every contract the DDA signs and protects the DDA from committing funding for more than one fiscal year. The board directed Clemente to move forward on drafting a policy to setup guidelines for a funding mechanism. ANNOUNCEMENTS Justice announced and invited the board to attend the Clematis Street 300 Block Grand Re- opening on Thursday November 1st at 5pm. Ast announced that Holiday Lights will be installed in Mid-November after the Clematis Street 300 Block Grand Re-opening. She also invited the board to attend a lunch and learn hosted by The Lord’s Place on Thursday October 18th at 12pm in the DDA offices. Faublas invited the board to attend On the Table on Wednesday October 24th at 5:30pm in the 500 block of Clematis Street. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to discuss, Reikenis called for a motion to adjourn. Board Action: Shabazz made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:32 a.m. Nalley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

MEMO TO:
DDA Board Bob Sanders, Chair Rick Reikenis, Vice Chair Mary Hurley Lane Cynthia Nalley Joseph Chase Lisa Gerard
FROM: Raphael Clemente, Executive Director RE:
Tax Increment Grant Program
DATE: Tuesday, November 20, 2018 _________________________________________________________________________________________
As directed by the Board at the October 21st meeting, staff has prepared a framework and application for a proposed Tax Increment Grant Program to be administered by the DDA. Staff will present the details of the program during the board meeting.
301 Clematis Street, Suite 200, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 Phone: 561.833.8873 Fax: 561.833.5870 www.westpalmbeachdda.com
DOWNTOWN WEST PALM BEACH TAX INCREMENT GRANT (TIG) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Downtown West Palm Beach Tax Increment Grant (“TIG”) Program (“Program” or “TIG Program”) is a financial incentive designed to encourage real estate development projects in Downtown West Palm Beach to incorporate specific amenities that enhance our downtown (“Qualifying Amenities”). The TIG Program will do so by reinvesting site-specific property taxes above the predevelopment level for a predetermined period into the project, site improvements, or adjacent public spaces. A determination of what constitute Qualifying Amenities will be determined on a case by case basis. Qualifying Amenities may include, without limitation, publicly accessible open space, the installation of public art beyond the City’s Art in Public Places requirements, historic preservation and/or restoration of facades and structures, performance spaces such as theaters or live music venues, and publicly accessible sports facilities such as tennis courts or swimming pools. The eligible amount of time during which each TIG will remain in place will be determined by use, cost, as well as other criteria. A site specific TIG is not an entitlement. The Program is offered to developers and/or property owners with projects located in the Downtown Development Authority (“DDA”) boundary. Any project awarded a TIG must comply with the criteria and requirements set forth in the program application. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this document or in the application, the DDA Board will determine, in its sole discretion, whether to approve any application or award any TIG.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS To be eligible for the Program, applicants must meet the following requirements: • • • •
The project must be located within the DDA boundary (Attachment I). The value of the proposed building renovations, site improvements or new construction must be equal to or greater than 60 percent of the total project cost.
