We had a lengthy Council meeting agenda last night which also included a presentation by Main Street who know enough about CRAs to be dangerous. In the end, Councilman Watford asked that I contact you asking if you might be available to give the City a brief history on your CRA...including both the pros and the cons. I know this is a lot to ask! Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, in advance for considering the matter. Brian 1 -0 O cn CD CD 7 C) CO O 7 03 m 7. n (D C Co-° 0 U) 7 CD m�, CD O.

Director, plans to appear at the meeting to discuss downtown redevelopment, the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) This timely subject is as a result of recent interest by Main Street and the City to rejuvenate the downtown area, while the 441/70 project is finishing and the City begins on a new Flagler Park landscaping project (as a result of the FDOT /Hamrick mediation). Drawing on information from Fellsmere City Manager, Jason Nunemaker, and my previous experience with TIF Districts, the following is offered: You'll find in the MS presentation that the City determines qualifying elements in determining the proposed geographic area based on factors such as blight and obsolescence...the Target area. Not unlike the impact fee process, I would suggest that the City subscribe the expertise of a consultant to assist in the Findings necessary to qualify for a CRA/TIF as well as developing the Redevelopment Plan. The TIF is the underlying funding mechanism for improvements in the Target area. TIF revenue is produced by the the increase in property tax generated over time from increased assessed value in the Target area that would normally be realized in the General Fund of the City and County (and other taxing Districts except the School Dist) but is directed to a City TIF Fund instead. In most communities, from Fellsmere to West Palm, the City Council acts as the CRA Board and appoints an Advisory Board, along with an administrative team, such as an Ex Director and project managers. RE: 5/5/15 Agenda item — New business item F (Exhibit 8) Okeechobee Main St — CRA/TIF Page 2 of 2 I've printed some information about CRAs from the premier source in Florida, The Florida Redevelopment Association. Their web site is listed here: http: / /redeveLopment.net/ I explained to MS Ex Director Turgeon that the Power Point underlines some of the ideas we discussed, such as way- finding signs, directories and aesthetic improvements that hopefully should be considered by the Council. In my opinion, at this juncture, as I kind of implied at our meeting, the presentation of these ideas could be immediately implemented within the budgetary timeline as we just distributed initial budgetary work to our internal Dept Heads...the budget process is underway and will gather momentum over the next few month. This presents the opportunity to incorporate at least the minimal improvement expenditures into our general budget. Having said all of the above, I appreciate MS's eagerness to proceed w/ a CRA designation, but the City has its work cut out for them. Analyze the appropriate boundaries for the CRA 'lAs well as determine the boundaries for the Tax Increment Financing District -VSurvey the proposed area for a Finding of Necessity. This is obviously part of the boundary determination and a qualifying element. Using the 'blighted' criteria the City may wish to expand the TIF in order to potentially generate more future revenue, however, some planning should be considered so as to not do so at the risk of losing excessive future revenue to the City's General Fund. 'Develop a Redevelopment Plan — method to rejuvenate the CRA/TIF area. Strict compliance to the Plan will be required, as was the case with impact fees, there's an upfront reporting element to the taxpayer...'what are we doing with the money ?' To approve the designation of Main St as the administrating organization might be premature in the process, in as much as the City needs to digest/analyze a proposed Agreement that fits into the process as we had several years ago. Councilman Watford and I have discussed the CRA and perhaps a presentation more on the intricacies of CRAs and TIFs might be in order so the Council will understand exactly what the pros /cons are. I think the improvements are a great segue to discussing the CRA and its use as a financing vehicle.

CRA General Information Brochure Community Redevelopment Agencies: What, When, and How CRAs, as they are known, are quite common, but often there are many questions in the minds of those who don't work with them everyday. How are they authorized? Who oversees them? What is involved in their operation? How are they funded? This article is intended to simply answer those questions. It also summarizes the legislation passed in session 2002 relating to CRAs.

Since all the monies used in financing CRA activities are locally generated, CRAs are not overseen by the state, but redevelopment plans must be consistent with local government comprehensive plans. Examples of conditions that can support the creation of a Community Redevelopment Area include, but are not limited to: the presence of substandard or inadequate structures, a shortage of affordable housing, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient roadways, and inadequate parking. To document that the required conditions exist, the local government must survey the proposed redevelopment area and prepare a Finding of Necessity. If the Finding of Necessity determines that the required conditions exist, the local government may create a Community Redevelopment Area to provide the tools needed to foster and support redevelopment of the targeted area. There are currently 178 Community Redevelopment Areas in the State of Florida. The designation is used by Florida cities of all sizes, from Jacksonville and Tampa to Madison and Apalachicola. Many familiar locations, such as Church Street in Orlando, Ybor City in Tampa and the beachfront in Ft. Lauderdale are successful examples of Community Redevelopment Areas. What is a Community Redevelopment Agency? The activities and programs offered within a Community Redevelopment Area are administered by the Community Redevelopment Agency. A five- to seven - member CRA "Board" created by the local government (city or county) directs the agency. The Board can be comprised of local government officials and or other individuals appointed by the local government. Although one local government may establish multiple CRA districts, there generally may be only one CRA Board. Each district must maintain separate trust funds, and expend those funds only in that district. What is a Community Redevelopment Plan? The Community Redevelopment Agency is responsible for developing and implementing the Community Redevelopment Plan that addresses the unique needs of the targeted area. The plan includes the overall goals for redevelopment in the area, as well as identifying the types of projects planned for the area. Examples of traditional projects include: streetscapes and roadway improvements, building renovations, new building construction, flood control initiatives, water and sewer improvements, parking lots and garages, neighborhood parks, sidewalks and street tree plantings. The plan can also include redevelopment incentives such as grants and loans for such things as facade improvements, sprinkler system upgrades, signs, and structural improvements. The redevelopment plan is a living document that can be updated to meet the changing needs within the Community http : / /redeve lopment. net/cra- resource s /q -a -for -cras/ rage z01.3 Crystal River OKs revised community redevelopment pla Posted on: Apr 26th, 2015 Boynton getting two restauran historic homes Posted on: Apr 25th, 2015 Bonita's downtown reboot hits crucial stage Posted on: Apr 25th, 2015 Daytona Beach pursuing riven grants Posted on: Apr 24th, 2015 2014 Florida Bicycle and Peds Partnership Council's Annual I Posted on: Apr 24th, 2015 Re, JOBS Contract Manager - Delray Be CRA Posted on: Apr 13th, 2015 Planner I or Planning Technici Johnson Engineering - Fort M, Posted on: Apr 13th, 2015 Planner - Principal or Senior - Johnson Engineering - Fort M!

DdS1U Redevelopment Area; however, the boundaries of the area cannot be changed without starting the process from the beginning. What is Tax Increment Financing? Tax increment financing is a unique tool available to cities and counties for redevelopment activities. It is used to leverage public funds to promote private sector activity in the targeted area. The dollar value of all real property in the Community Redevelopment Area is determined as of a fixed date, also known as the "frozen value." Taxing authorities, which contribute to the tax increment, continue to receive property tax revenues based on the frozen value. These frozen value revenues are available for general government purposes. However, any tax revenues from increases in real property value, referred to as "increment," are deposited into the Community Redevelopment Agency Trust Fund and dedicated to the redevelopment area. It is important to note that property tax revenue collected by the School Board and any special district are not affected under the tax increment financing process. Further, unlike in some states, Florida taxing entities write a check to the CRA trust fund, after monies are received from the tax collector. In California, the increment is sent to the CRAs directly out of collected county tax revenues, before they are distributed to each taxing entity. The tax increment revenues can be used immediately, saved for a particular project, or can be bonded to maximize the funds available. Any funds received from a tax increment financing area must be used for specific redevelopment purposes within the targeted area, and not for general government purposes. How does the CRA Process Work? A public meeting begins the designation process. Several steps will have to be accomplished before the Community Redevelopment Area becomes are reality. These steps are briefly outlined below. I. Adopt the Finding of Necessity. This will formally identify the blight conditions within the targeted area and establish the area boundary. II. Develop and adopt the Community Redevelopment Plan. The plan addresses the unique needs of the targeted area and includes the overall goals for redevelopment in the area, as well as identifying specific projects. III. Create a Redevelopment Trust Fund. Establishment of the Trust Fund enables the Community Redevelopment Agency to direct the increase in real property tax revenues back into the targeted area. http://redevelopment.net/cra-resources/q-a-for-cras/ rage .5 or Re LISTINGS Request for Qualifications (RF Open -Air Information Center fc St. Joe Historic Downtown Dis Posted on: Mar 7th, 2014 Request for Qualifications (RF Renovation of "The Hacienda" Port Richey Posted on: Mar 7th, 2014 Request for Qualifications (RF Legal Services for Boynton Be C RA Posted on: Mar 7th, 2014 Request for Qualification - Hallandale Beach CRA Mastei Posted on: Mar 7th, 2014 RFQP 15 -003 Hacienda Hotel Condition Assessment - New F Richey Posted on: Oct 28th, 2014 RFP15 -004 Hacienda Hotel Rehabilitation - New Port Rich Posted on: Oct 28th, 2014 Margate CRA - City Center Development Posted on: Dec 1st, 2014 Hallandale Beach CRA - RFQ; 2 -14- 2015 -004 - Main Fire Sta Posted on: Jan 14th, 2015 Boynton Beach CRA ITB - We Signage Posted on: Jan 16th, 2015 Boynton Beach CRA ITB - Ea: Ocean Avenue Lighting Projec Posted on: Jan 16th, 2015 Re 5/4/2015 Ltcti tiasics The Florida Legislature addressed CRAs in 2002 from an intergovernmental point of view, to strengthen the ability of cities and counties to manage CRA creation, notices and term issues. Disputes between cities and counties involving CRAs can be resolved locally by interlocal agreements, and should be, since they usually involve growth management issues other than just funding. Florida Redevelopment Association Legislative Position The FRA supports the ability of local governments to create and effectively use community redevelopment agencies to redevelop and revitalize their urban areas. This includes the use of tax increment financing. We further support local control and disposition of any disputes between local governments over the use of such agencies and financing. The Florida Redevelopment Association is available for technical assistance, legislative advocacy and redevelopment educational resources. . For copies of current or past bills, statutes or further legislative information, you may visit www.leg.state.fl.us or call the FRA. at (850) 701 -3608. About the FRA The Florida Redevelopment Association (FRA) is dedicated to the revitalization and preservation of Florida's communities. Operated under a contract with the Florida League of Cities in Tallahassee, it's purpose is to promote the improvement of downtowns and other urban areas through redevelopment and development activities under the Florida Statutes; encourage Florida's communities to create a healthy mix of affordable workforce and market rate housing; and provide a forum for networking, training and technical assistance; be an advocate for its membership; and monitor legal and legislative issues. The FRA currently has more than 300 public and business agency members. Summary CRAs are a specifically focused financing tool for redevelopment. CRA Boards do not establish policy for the city or county — they develop and administer a plan to implement that policy. The CRA acts officially as a body distinct and separate from the governing body, even when it is the same group of people. The CRA has certain powers that the city or county by itself may not do, such as establish tax increment financing, and leverage local public funds with private dollars to make redevelopment happen. The CRA term is limited to 30 years, 40 years if extended. After that time, all revenues (presumably much increased from the start of the CRA) are retained by each taxing entity that contributed to the CRA trust fund.
