City Commission/ CRA Joint Meeting Boynton Beach, FL September 18, 2025 Board Member Kelley moved to waive the procurement process. Board Member Turkin seconded the motion. Board Member Cruz opposed waiving the process. She said she was not opposed to moving forward with a candidate but needed more time to review, noting 24 hours was not sufficient. Board Member Turkin stated he took his due diligence seriously and emphasized the effort made in the search for an Executive Director. He noted the CRA had been seeking leadership for two years and that this was not a new issue. Ms. Rossmell described options available if the process was not waived. Board Member Kelley said a presentation could still be held but might not resolve the issue. Ms. Rossmell said the RFP could be reviewed that night or at the next meeting. Vice Chair Hay said he also received the material only recently and felt the process was being rushed. He said he was not ready to decide that night but would be prepared at the next meeting. Chair Shelton said the search had been open for two years but the applicants lacked qualifications. Ms. Rossmell said the motion was premature, and Board Member Turkin withdrew the motion. Board Member Turkin reiterated his support for moving forward, calling it a great opportunity. Ms. Rossmell outlined available options. Board Member Kelley said she was comfortable giving members more time to review. Chair Shelton suggested the City Commission revisit the issue. Motion: Board Member Turkin moved to continue the RFP process, have the presentation on October 7th, and make a decision that night, and continue the discussions with the current candidate.
