Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes August 12, 2025 City of Deerfield Beach Page 2 Printed on 08/26/2025 GENERAL ITEMS 1. CRA Resolution 2025/007 - A Resolution of the City of Deerfield Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), approving a public art grant to 202 DFB, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $40,000.00 for installation of a mural on the City's Pier Building; providing for implementation and an effective date. (Funds from Account #190-500-520-5200-000-55200-503595) The Resolution was read by title only. Kris Mory, CRA Director, provided a brief overview of the item. Thereafter, she introduced Danielle Rosse, 202 DFB, LLC. Ms. Rosse said Alex Yanes, artist, is located in South Florida. Thereafter, she provided a brief overview of his work. She explained that the mural will be installed on the entire northside of the pier restaurant and wrapped under the overhang on the eastside. Further, as the mural comes to life, public participation will be sought through online content videos with the artist, who will also host a kid’s day. Additionally, a ribbon cutting with the Commission will be requested, as well as a photobooth experience with the mural as a backdrop, and a postcard will be created. Ms. Rosse said she has been in Deerfield for 25 years, and is excited to see how this piece will make the area come to life. In response to Mr. Hudak’s question, Ms. Rosse replied that the vending machines have been removed from the area. Further, under the overhang was chosen because it’s protected from the sun and is pedestrian friendly. Mr. Plaut stated that the Resolution references the southside of the pier, and it should be northside. Chair Drosky opened the public hearing. Dan Herz, 330 SE 19th Avenue, Deerfield Beach, said the building was previously occupied for 12 years, so why is this idea just now being brought to the Board. Chair Drosky closed the public hearing. In response to Mr. Shanetzky’s question, Ms. Rosse replied that she is unsure how long the mural will last, but the materials being utilized will allow the mural to have a long shelf life. MOTION was made by Mr. Plaut, seconded by Mr. Hudak, to approve Item 1, adopted CRA Resolution 2025/007 with the stipulation that the wrap will be located on the northside. Roll Call: Yeas: 5 - Mr. Hudak, Mr. Plaut, Mr. Shanetzky, Vice Chair Preston, and Chair Drosky Nays: 0 2. Presentation regarding the proposed Deerfield Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Fiscal Year 2026 Budget. Kris Mory, CRA Director, highlighted a brief presentation. Thereafter, she said the Marine Science Center at Sullivan Park is the only capital project. Programming consists of the education facility, community policing, commercial façade/micro façade, special events, public art, and rideshare, which progresses each month. Ms. Mory said the tax base has expanded for the 13 th consecutive year in a row, whereby, the total available tax increment revenue for fiscal year 2026 is $9.6 million; however, the debt service - $1.1 million; estimated fiscal year 2025 carryover - $6.2 million; operating expenses - $877,053; other contractual services - $169,091; and programming - $1.2 million, leaving $80,000 to be budgeted into next year for a potential feasibility study for a parking garage in the Cove Shopping Center. Currently, the Cove Shopping Center parking garage is listed in the capital improvement plan, but it may be reconsidered. Chair Drosky explained that there isn’t an abundant amount of funding to work with this year due to funds being allocated to the Marine Science Center; nonetheless, the CRA sunsets in three years, so the Board has time to decide where the remaining $9 million should be allocated.
