AWARDS & RECOGNITION 1. Proclamation presented to the Jim & Jan Moran Boys & Girls in recognition of National Boys & Girls Clubs Week. Mayor Ganz presented a Proclamation to Christine Richardson, Club Director II, in recognition of National Boys & Girls Clubs Week. Ms. Richardson thanked the Commission for their support. 2. Certificate of Recognition presented by Captain Hofstein to BSO Law Enforcement staff. Captain Hofstein recognized various deputies for their ongoing efforts with keeping the community safe. PRESENTATIONS 3. Presentation regarding Town Center Conceptual Master Plan by the Urban Land Institute Technical Advisory Panel. David Santucci, City Manager, highlighted a brief presentation. He explained that the area is the ideal location for the Pioneer Grove Redevelopment anchor, as it has three major Deerfield Beach properties, which are in deteriorating condition, City Hall, BSO Headquarters, and Pioneer Park. The Urban Land Institute (ULI) was chosen because they bring world renowned experts on land use issues and provide an outside perspective; whereby, the City had previous experience with the ULI for Sullivan Park. Thereafter, he provided a brief overview of how Pioneer Grove was established. Mr. Santucci said staff provided various outreach methods to seek public participation, i.e. press release, website, social media, etc. Furthermore, a survey was conducted, with 756 participants, whereby, the major takeaways included the desire to have walking paths, trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, ball fields, central gathering space (farmers market, concerts), amphitheater or outdoor performance space, historical museum, splash pad, mixed-use development (shops, cafes, restaurants), locally owned chain stores, maintain the Deerfield character by keeping the small town feel and limiting high rises, revitalize current infrastructure, and preserve area history and incorporate public art. Additionally, improving parking and pedestrian/bike transit, adding a skatepark/dog park/splash pad, there were concerns for traffic congestion and the homeless, and there was a disagreement on adding residential units. Thereafter, he provided a brief overview of the events that have transpired the past two days with the ULI. Lastly, he stated that this is an independent analysis of what the ULI has learned and been provided. Mayor Ganz said the success the City has had with the ULI has been tremendous, whereby, Sullivan Park is a huge hit, and would not have been done without the ULI’s input. Further, he said there is a misconception that there is already a plan in place, which is not the case; whereby, when development is mentioned, individuals automatically think developers are going to come in, buy city property and develop, which he reiterated is not the case and something this commission would not entertain, nor the public would want. Mayor Ganz said the reasoning behind these types of discussions is to find out what everyone wants, as it makes the Commission’s jobs easier. Unfortunately, when things are not properly communicated, it does not make the Commission’s job easy, so moving forward, things must be communicated better to ensure everyone is on the same page. Lastly, he said our goal is to plan right, with public input, so that the project is carried into the future.

Regular City Commission Meeting Minutes June 18, 2024 City of Deerfield Beach Page 3 Printed on 07/09/2024 PRESENTATIONS - CONTINUED In response to Mayor Ganz’s comments, Mr. Santucci stated that his goals, are their goals. Vice Mayor Drosky said he received numerous calls, and advised that there were no preconceived plans for this particular project. He said the ULI are outside experts, who will provide their initial findings, which he is unaware of; nonetheless, he thanked them for their time and efforts the last two days. Thereafter, he briefly commented on the needs of the City, whereby, City Hall, BSO Headquarters, and Pioneer Park are unacceptable and extremely outdated. Vice Mayor Drosky said revisiting these areas will provide insight as to how they can be re-oriented, i.e. flipping the ball fields around. Lastly, he thanked the public for coming out, as their input is important. Mike Pitchford, TAP Chair, provided a brief overview of ULI’s mission, as well as what they do. He said the study area consists of the city hall site and Pioneer Park, which the ULI sees as a tremendous opportunity. Staff asked the ULI to provide recommendations on the highest and best use of the site; how to maximize efficient delivery of municipal services; create public spaces for interaction and gathering; venues/cultural assets; community’s history, art, and culture; and the best project layout/best use to make the downtown economically viable. Thereafter, he provided a brief overview of the process and introduced the panelists. Mr. Pitchford said the ULI found that people love Pioneer Park, as there’s a lot of history and the ballfields, courts, and boat launch are well used. City Hall needs to be updated and people want a vibrant downtown area. Additionally, people want shade, dog parks, and the play areas are lacking; parking and transportation options are limited; and people are looking for places to gather and connect. Furthermore, the ULI learned that Eller Street is important; the park is vastly underutilized; there currently are uses within the park that are mobile; park concessions are possible; city hall can move anywhere; cell towers need to stay; more parking is needed; and 2nd Street can be used as an entry way into this area that is walkable. Lastly, he said the areas of recommendation include downtown Deerfield, park activation, city hall and development opportunities, parking and mobility, and implementation. Tom Roth, Principal Roth Investment and Advisory, said Pioneer Park has value, as it is the traditional heart of Deerfield Beach’s civic life, has prime inland waterfront, and is distinct from the beach, US1, and I-95; therefore, there is an opportunity to enhance walkability, increase connectivity, activate waterfront, design a park for everyone, and create a destination. Furthermore, it could become a place for locals to engage which promotes community; a completely updated park, which has active sports and passive green space components; an adjacent urban district, which is synergistic with the park; and a district that celebrates the waterfront, connects to Hillsboro, and pays tribute to local history. Amy Harbert, EDSA Vice President, said the community wants to see many things come out of Pioneer Park, improved connectivity, seating, shade, creation of an entertainment area, place to have event’s, i.e. farmer’s market, shaded play area, improved walkability and active uses, and multi-generational activities; however, these must be done in a right size manner, so it fits the municipality. Additional park program opportunities include event lawn and stage, flexible lawn for passive activities, shaded children’s play area, shaded games and/or grilling zones, games kiosk, active waterfront and connectivity, and picnic areas. Thereafter, a photograph of the existing park conditions was displayed, whereby, the ULI noticed that many spaces were underutilized and is dominated by one main use; therefore, some of the additional programs, activities, and uses may be mobile. Thereafter, a photograph of the proposed program diagram was displayed that incorporates play/learn, passive recreation, active recreation, and waterfront. Dana Little, Urban Design Director Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, displayed the study area, which includes Pioneer Park and city hall/downtown development. Further, he reiterated that Eller Street is extremely important as it is the link between the passive and active recreation, and river to the north and the redevelopment and creation of restaurants to the south. He suggested extending and redeveloping NE 2nd Avenue, so it becomes a true main street. The key objectives for downtown redevelopment include what should happen to city hall, i.e. refurbish, rebuild in place, or relocate; what is the desired form and scale of redevelopment in this area; how can redevelopment of this area enhance and reinforce improvements to, and connectivity to, Pioneer Park; and strategies for preserving Deerfield Beach’s history. The primary principles for downtown development include creating a mixed-use environment that responds to shifting markets; emphasize NE 2nd Avenue as the downtown’s main street; shaded pedestrian, multi-modal connections throughout the district are critical; mixed-use development and redevelopment should occur south of NE Eller Street; large parking areas should be ample and proximate but not the most prominent

Regular City Commission Meeting Minutes June 18, 2024 City of Deerfield Beach Page 4 Printed on 07/09/2024 PRESENTATIONS - CONTINUED feature; on-street parking should occur throughout downtown; and improvements to NE Eller Street is critical to linking downtown to Pioneer Park. Continuing, Mr. Little displayed various photographs, which integrate Pioneer Park and downtown Deerfield, whereby, Option A includes relocating city hall to the corner of Hillsboro and NE 2nd Street, which is private property and would have to be negotiated; nevertheless, this option provides an opportunity to provide a formal civic green. Parking would be tucked into a garage, and located to the north of city hall; and the former city hall location would be mixed-use redevelopment, with restaurants and shops facing Pioneer Park and 2nd Avenue. Option B includes rebuilding city hall in its current location, and adding a civic plaza on the corner, and buildings could be built facing Eller and looking across to the park. Option C includes relocating city hall to 4th, just north of Hillsboro, which would face a residential street, so transitions would be a lower scale, i.e. townhomes. Mr. Little said relocating city hall inside the study area would establish the downtown area; keep it to the center of downtown Deerfield Beach; and have employees in the downtown area to maintain activity. Lastly, relocating BSO outside the study area would open up a critical site to reinforce the park with residential use, and leaving the post office and library, as it would not impact the area. Stephanie Guerra, Transportation & Traffic Engineer, said as part of this study, two major mobility and transportation issues were identified, parking and pedestrian engagement; therefore, on-street parking can be added to Eller Street and surface parking can be added to the NW corner of Eller and 2nd Avenue. Furthermore, additional parking areas can be added on the south side of Eller, which can be wrapped with mixed use building, and would allow the vehicular access to move to the south, so there could be more of a pedestrian activity zone on Eller for potential street closures and city events. Thereafter, existing street and potential street conditions were displayed. Mr. Roth said creating a sense of place and having a partnership between the public and private sectors is extremely important, whereby, the public sector must provide the right environment for the private sector to make the investment. ULI’s recommendation is to completely improve the park to create an anchor to help drive investment to the area, offer culture and arts to complement the area, improve infrastructure, and add residential density and food/beverage and entertainment to attract people to the area and activate the space. The ULI does not see a need to sell land; however, there is a potential for commercial opportunities at the park. Furthermore, the ULI’s recommendation for the area south of Eller Street is to engage a master plan with input from a real estate consultant, as this will allow the City to attract private investment and control the outcome. The ULI suggests hiring a developer for the individual sites within the Master Plan; whereby, an RFP would need to be established with detailed development guidelines, which would include mix of uses, housing affordability component, financing structure, terms, and qualifications and experience of team. Lastly, the ULI believes that the highest priorities are restaurants, entertainment, residential, etc. Mr. Pitchford said the City has an incredible opportunity in creating a signature downtown, but it will take a lot of investment from the City and the park; whereby, opening up the waterfront is a must. In response to Mayor Ganz’s question, Mr. Santucci replied that additional community engagement will be needed throughout the process, especially with the development of a master plan; nonetheless, if positive feedback is received, then staff will follow the guidance of what has been provided this evening. Mayor Ganz said the first step is ensuring that the community wants to see the area revitalized and changed. Although the recommendations presented should be taken into consideration, he cannot definitively say this is what is going to be done moving forward, as additional community engagement is needed; nonetheless, it is clear that Pioneer Park must be improved. Furthermore, he thanked the ULI for their recommendations as it gives everyone something to think about, but he is concerned with the size of the area and the surrounding neighborhoods. Mayor Ganz said public engagement is vitally important and should not just be done as a presentation, but setting up various tables and recoding the public’s ideas. Commissioner Hudak thanked the ULI for their input, as he is extremely impressed with the reconfiguration of the park and expressed satisfaction with the various concepts, as it gives everyone something to think about.

Regular City Commission Meeting Minutes June 18, 2024 City of Deerfield Beach Page 5 Printed on 07/09/2024 PRESENTATIONS - CONTINUED Commissioner Preston thanked the ULI for their input, as it provided valuable information, as well as valuable ideas as to what needs to be done in the City. He also thanked the public for coming out and suggested that the presentation be made available for them on-line, so they can provide input that can be taken into consideration. Furthermore, he said there was no mention of what this concept will do or provide to the adjoining communities and suggested that it be addressed in the Master Plan. Vice Mayor Drosky appreciates all the ideas and concepts, as it gives everyone something to think about. Thereafter, he asked if we can open this up to the public. Furthermore, he asked if the commuter rail station was apart of this thought process. Mr. Pitchford said the commuter rail was discussed at lengths, whereby, the desired location will be four or five blocks south due to the angle of the tracks to the north; nonetheless, if the station could be located more adjacent to the new city hall and park, then it would make sense including it. MOTION was made by Commissioner Hudak, seconded by Vice Mayor Drosky, to open Item 3 for public input. Roll Call: Yeas: 3 - Commissioner Hudak, Vice Mayor Drosky and Mayor Ganz Nays: 2 - Commissioner Parness & Commissioner Preston Mayor Ganz opened the public hearing. Thereafter, he explained that although this item is a presentation, the public should be allowed to comment since they were able to during yesterday’s session, which took place during the day. Karen Shelly, 190 Durham D, Deerfield Beach, spoke in support of revitalizing the area, as green space, housing, retail, etc. is needed. Further, she also spoke in support of an amphitheater. Edie Britton, 3046 Cambridge C, Deerfield Beach, said there were many things outlined in the presentation that she did not agree with. Furthermore, she stated that the public does not know what they want; therefore, she suggested hiring an architect to tell the community what they want. Thomas Noland, 406 SE 8th Avenue, Deerfield Beach, spoke in support of the concept, as Deerfield Beach must prepare for the future; nevertheless, Pioneer Park must be maintained until this concept comes to fruition. Thereafter, he commented on misinformation, as people were afraid of overdevelopment, modified housing, etc. Lastly, he said everyone wants the park to be better than what it is. April Bolowich, 899 NE 4th Street, Deerfield Beach, said her vision of Pioneer Park includes enhancing the community’s social connection and maintaining the community’s physical and mental health by putting an emphasis on youthful development and healthy aging. Thereafter, she said the goal is to provide lots of shaded walking and jogging trails, areas to join up for healthy activities, i.e. tennis, pickleball, skatepark, etc. Further, she suggested using some of the existing land for green markets and food trucks and adding indoor areas, i.e. auditorium, conference rooms, kitchen, etc. Lastly, she asked if there are any plans to change the land use of Pioneer Park. Howard Noland, 325 SE 3rd Terrace, Deerfield Beach, disagreed with the park currently being underutilized, as his softball league plays there year-round. Furthermore, the ball field was incorporated into the proposed design, but there wasn’t a playground, which he disagreed with. Lastly, he agreed that something must be done to the park now, as it’s in need of repairs. Francis Couture, 600 NW Natura Boulevard, Deerfield Beach, commented on a project that took place in New York, whereby, an area was turned into a walking path. Further, he spoke in support of the plan. Kristin Champagne, 501 SE 6th Avenue, Deerfield Beach, said she is the President of the Deerfield Beach Little League. She stated that Deerfield Beach is hosting their soccer league on the baseball fields, so she was hoping to see a soccer field in the plans. Thereafter, she commented on Margate’s soccer field, which is covered. Further, she spoke in support of keeping the baseball field, but expressed concerns with adding residential and commercial, as it will add to the congestion, and stated that the recommended parking is not adequate. Lastly, she agreed with enhancing Pioneer Park now.

Further, she spoke in support of the temporary street closures for farmers markets, as well as the other recommendations to the park. She suggested offering sailing classes to the marina part of the area and asked that the City’s rich heritage be incorporated. Thereafter, she commented on an amphitheater in Boston, as well as the Lynch Family Skatepark. Judith Stanich, 2257 Deer Creek Alba Way, Deerfield Beach, spoke in support of the proposal, as she loved every part of it. Peggy Noland, 325 SE 3rd Terrace, Deerfield Beach, said the information was a lot to digest, and suggested that there be additional community input. Michael Estrada, 1431 SW 6th Way, Deerfield Beach, said he hopes that the community can continue to be involved throughout this process, as we know what we want and we are the experts on how the areas can be utilized. Further, he said there could be clearer communication before, during and after the meetings, as it may clear up any misinformation. Thereafter, he spoke in support of ensuring the area is accessible to the entire community. Lastly, he spoke in support of a walkable downtown area and asked that the rich history be incorporated into the design. Janice Fulmore-Tigner, 1090 SW 4th Terrace, Deerfield Beach, asked how the information regarding the meetings were disseminated, as she was unaware of yesterday’s meeting. Thereafter, she asked that the other districts not be left out. Wayne Adams, 1431 SW 5th Terrace, Deerfield Beach, spoke in support of changing and revitalizing the area, while preserving the City’s rich history; whereby, there were many good things outlined in the presentation, i.e. restaurants, shops, new city hall, amphitheater, etc. Mayor closed the public hearing. Thereafter, he thanked everyone for their input. Further, he agreed that improvements must be immediately made to Pioneer Park, and stated that there is no land use change planned for this project. Mayor Ganz said moving city hall to the west may be problematic, as that may be a historic building. Thereafter, he briefly outlined all the suggestions that were made, and said not everything will be viable, so additional public engagements will be needed. Lastly, he commented on recent developments, and stated that no district will ever be left behind, as we are one city.
