>> I THINK THAT CLOCK UP THERE IS SLOW.
[00:00:04]
GOOD EVENING ALL.[Call to Order]
THE TIME IS NOW 06:30 PM AND I'LL CALL ORALLY THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING OF TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH.CAN WE HAVE A ROLL-CALL, PLEASE?
>> EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GETZ WELL?
>> TONIGHT WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.
[Items 1 & 2]
WE HAVE TWO RESOLUTIONS BEFORE US ADOPTING THE OPERATING AND COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BUDGETS AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM.>> GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN AND COMMISSION SCOTT REYNOLDS FOR THE RECORD, TOWN OF JUPITER FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
WE'VE HAD WORKSHOPS ON THIS BUDGET PREVIOUSLY.
WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS AT LENGTH ABOUT THE CRA AND THE CRA PLAN.
JUST TO GIVE YOU A GOOD SNAPSHOT OF SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OVER THIS EVENING IN THE OPERATING BUDGET AND PROPOSED CIP FOR FY24.
THE CRA INCREMENTAL VALUES HAVE INCREASED FROM 402 MILLION TO 473 MILLION.
OF THE 71 MILLION INCREASE, APPROXIMATELY 5.7 MILLION IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE NEW CONSTRUCTION WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
THE OTHER THING IS, WE'RE ALL AWARE THAT PALM BEACH COUNTY, ALONG WITH THE TOWN OF JUPITER HAVE LOWERED THEIR MILLAGES.
THAT REDUCTION TO THE MILLAGES WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IN AN ADDITIONAL $129,000 IF THOSE MILLAGES HAD STAYED FLAT GOING FORWARD JUST TO POINT THAT OUT.
BUT FROM AN OPERATING STANDPOINT, WHICH IS SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS WITHIN THE BUDGET.
AS YOU'RE AWARE, WE HAVE CONTRACTED WITH THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL TO UPDATE THE CRA PLAN.
WE DID THAT IN FY23, WE PLAN TO CONTINUE THAT CONTRACT IN THE FY24.
WE'VE ALSO PLACED SOME FUNDING AND THE CRA OPERATING BUDGET FOR IMPLEMENTATION PHASES WHEN WE START TO UPDATE THAT PLAN.
THERE'S ALSO SOME ITEMS RELATING TO THE PIATT PLACE WHICH YOU ALL HAVE LISTED AS A PRIORITY, RELATING TO JURISDICTIONAL WETLAND DETERMINATION AND SEAGRASS SURVEYS.
ALSO, THERE'S SOME LANDSCAPING ADJUSTMENTS ON LOVE STREET DUE TO THE SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION THAT'S GOING TO BE OCCURRING THERE, THAT'S IN THE CIP PLAN OF THE CRA.
ALSO, IT HAS BEEN A PRIORITY OF THE TOWN COUNCIL, THEY HAVE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS WITHIN THE INLET DISTRICT.
WE HAVE MADE SURE TO BUDGET FOR THAT AND FY24.
THIS IS NEW SINCE THE PANDEMIC, WE'VE PROGRAMMED TWO COMMUNITY EVENTS UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE AT $34,000.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS IN REGARDS TO THE OPERATIONAL PORTION OF THE PLAN.
IN RELATION TO THE CIP, THERE HAS BEEN SOME UPDATES TO A FEW OF THE CIP PROJECTS.
THE RIVERWALK GRAVITY WALL, WE'VE ADDED FUTURE FUNDING FOR THE PLAZA GRAVITY WALL FOR A LONG-TERM SOLUTION NEEDED TO ADDRESS MITIGATION OF THE BLOCKS WITHIN THE WALL, AND PROVIDE FOR NATURE-BASED STRATEGY TO STABILIZE AND PROTECT THE WALL IN THE FUTURE.
THE RIVERWALK LIVING SHORELINES STABILIZATION, IF YOU REMEMBER WHY WE STARTED THAT PROJECT LAST YEAR, WE'VE NOW EXPANDED THAT GOING INTO '24 AND FUTURE YEARS.
WE'VE ADDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE STABILIZATION OF THE LIVING SHORELINE TO CREATE AND RESTORE MARINE HABITAT ALONG THE RIVERWALK.
THEN THE LOVE STREET SIDEWALK ADDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR DESIGN WORK THAT WE HAD ALREADY PLANNED FOR THAT CIP.
IN SUMMARY, HOW DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? [NOISE] YOU CAN SEE THE TAXABLE BASE FOR FY24 IS $641,000 AND THE INCREMENT VALUE IS 473.
YOU HAVE THE COUNTY MILLAGE OF 4.5 AND THE TOWN MILLAGE OF 2.3894.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN FLORIDA AS THE VALOREM TAXES THAT ARE BEING COLLECTED? JUST OVER TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE COUNTY AND JUST OVER A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE TOWN, A TOTAL OF JUST OVER THREE MILLION DOLLARS IN AD VALOREM FUNDING TO GO INTO THE TRUST FUND.
NET INCREASE IN AD VALOREM TAXES, FROM '23-'24 IS $342,000, AND WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE REDUCTIONS IN
[00:05:01]
THE MILLAGE BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN.MOVING ON TO THE CIP PORTION OF THE CRA, WE'VE ALREADY HIT ON THE ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN RELATION TO THE EVENTS PLAZA GRAVITY WALL, YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE FUNDING OF $500,000 SPLIT BETWEEN TWO FUTURE YEARS.
THE CRA RIVERWALK SHORELINES STABILIZATION IS JUST OVER A MILLION DOLLARS STARTING IN FY24, AND THE LOVE STREET SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION THAT'S THE $50,000 FOR THE ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES.
TOTAL OF $1.5 MILLION SO OVER THE FUNDING WINDOW.
ONE THING WE DID DO FROM THE LAST WORKSHOP, THE COMMISSION ALONG WITH THE TOWN COUNCIL HAD ASKED THAT WE INCLUDE IN WITH EACH OF THESE SUMMARY TABLES THE CARRY FORWARD DOLLARS, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT AMOUNTS ARE SITTING THERE ALONG WITH THE PROJECTED IN-SERVICE STATES OF THESE PROJECTS THAT HAS BEEN DONE.
THE GRAVITY WALL, THE FY23 PROJECT FUNDING IS TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE THAT'S OCCURRED IN THE RETAINING WALL AND THEN THE FUTURE FUNDING IS TO INSTALL RIP RAP AND OTHER NATURE-BASED STRATEGIES TO PROVIDE MARINE HABITAT TO HELP STABILIZE THE STRUCTURE, EITHER AT THE EDGE OF THE WALL OR THE BREAK WATER IN FRONT TO PROTECT THE WALL FROM WAVE ACTION AND EROSION THAT CONSISTENTLY OCCURS AT THE LOCATION.
IF YOU KNOW THE LOCATION THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING, IS HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREA BY BOAT TRAFFIC, SO THAT IS GOING TO HELP PROTECT THEM IN FUTURE YEARS.
MOVING ON TO THE RIVERWALK SHORELINES STABILIZATION, SAME ISSUE.
IF YOU KNOW THE LOCATION WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE AGAIN, HEAVILY TRAFFICKED BY BOAT TRAFFIC, THERE IS SOME EROSION THAT'S CURRENTLY OCCURRING ALONG THE SHORELINE ALONG THE RIVER WALK, SO WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS ADDITIONAL FUNDING BE REQUESTING FOR A LIVING SHORELINE INSTALLATION AND ALSO ALONG WITH INCREASED COSTS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT.
EACH YEAR WE WILL GO THROUGH AND WE WILL EVALUATE AS WE'RE PROCEEDING FORWARD THROUGH THE INSTALLATION TO COME BACK AND UPDATE THE COMMISSION ON THE LIVING SHORELINES.
THE LOVE STREET SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION.
THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN FUNDED, JUST NEEDING ADDITIONAL DESIGN WORK AT THE SITE.
THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE ADDITIONAL REQUESTS FOR FUNDS IN THAT CIP.
FROM THE CASH FLOW PERSPECTIVE, YOU CAN SEE FROM '23 GOES OUT TO THE LIFE OF THE OF THE CRA IN 2034, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE GOING FROM A FUND BALANCE OF 1.4 IN '23, THE ENDING FUND BALANCE IN FY 2034 IS JUST OVER $28 MILLION.
NOW ULTIMATELY, WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT IN THIS UPCOMING YEAR, YOU'RE GOING TO BE UPDATING THE CRA PLAN, THESE NUMBERS WILL CHANGE, BUT THAT'S BASED ON AS IT STANDS TODAY.
BUT GOING FORWARD, WE KNOW THAT THE COMMISSION IS GOING TO BE UPDATING THE CRA PLAN, SO THOSE DOLLARS WILL CHANGE GOING FORWARD.
IN SUMMARY, STAFF SEEKS COMMISSION APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 4-23 TO ADOPT THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR '23/'24, AND RESOLUTION 3-23, ADOPTING THE CRA CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAM FOR '23/'24, BASED ON THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET IS PREPARED AND PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.
THAT IS THE END OF MY PRESENTATION.
>> DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON MACHINERY BUDGET?
>> ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL AND THE COMMISSION?
>> I HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION. VERY SMALL ITEM.
I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BUDGET AT LENGTH OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS OR HOLIDAY DECORATIONS AND THE INLET, I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE JURISDICTION FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE, BUT WE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF COMMENTS AND EMAILS FROM RESIDENTS REQUESTING THAT HOLIDAY DECORATIONS BE ON THE LIGHTHOUSE.
THAT IS AGAIN, NOT OUR JURISDICTION, OUR BUDGET.
BUT CAN WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM JUST TO ENSURE OR JUST TO EXPRESS THAT THAT IS A PRIORITY FOR THE TOWN? FOR HIM TO SIGN [OVERLAPPING].
>> THEY DO PUT READ STUFF ON THE WALKWAY ON TOP OF IT.
>> THEY DID, EXCEPT FOR I BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T LAST YEAR. [OVERLAPPING]
>> BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION?
>> CORRECT. JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE EXPRESS, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY KNOW OR GOT THE SAME COMMENTS THAT WE DID, THAT TO MAKE SURE.
