The CRA sent a confirming letter on Jan. 9 acknowledging termination effective Jan. 8.

\"On January 8th, the center notified the CRA and the city of its decision to terminate immediately the October 12, 2022 pre construction and development agreement and lease, pursuant to section 14 of that PCDA. We wrote the center on January 9th confirming that both the PCDA and the lease are terminated effective January 8th. In the letter, we also commended the center's efforts and wish them success in their future endeavors,\" City staff member Mr. Brown said at the meeting.

Members asked follow-up questions about related planning work. A member identified in the record as Mr. Richter asked about the status of Alta's consulting plan for Palmetto. Brown said staff would consult the firm and provide details later: \"I will need to consult with staff to firm to get the exact details of where we are right now. I'll let everyone know.\" Another member suggested issuing an additional work order for Alta so the consultant could evaluate east‑west connectivity between Palmetto and the proposed government campus master plan, including how traffic would cross the street to link the two areas. Brown replied, \"Connectivity between the campus and the and the eastern portion of downtown would definitely be considered as part of the planning process. Yes.\"

No formal action or vote was recorded on the termination or on directing additional consulting work; CRA staff said they would follow up with details. The director's report otherwise included routine downtown event updates from the downtown manager, Ruby Riley.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boca Raton - C.R.A.

“On January 8th, the center notified the CRA and the city of its decision to terminate immediately the October 12, 2022 pre construction and development agreement and lease, pursuant to section 14 of that PCDA,” Brown said. “We wrote the center on January 9th confirming that both the PCDA and the lease are terminated effective January 8th.”

Brown offered to answer questions; Commissioner Richter asked for a status update on the Alta consulting plan for Palmetto and raised the possibility of expanding Alta’s scope to study connectivity between Palmetto, the eastern portion of downtown and the new Government Campus Master Plan.

“I hope you could consider, and my colleagues can consider, that maybe now is the time to expand, or at least to add a work order, for them to consider the connectivity between, not just that portion of Palmetto, but east and west to include the new government campus master plan,” Richter said. Brown replied he would consult staff and the firm to get exact details and report back to the agency.

Brown’s director’s report also included a series of downtown event updates provided by Downtown Manager Ruby Riley. Riley listed upcoming performances and events at Mizner Park and other downtown venues, including a run of the play From Brooklyn to Boca (Jan. 15–19 at the Studio at Mizner Park), performances at The Funky Biscuit (Jan. 16, 18, 23 and 25), the Boca Beer, Wine and Spirits Fest (Jan. 18 at Mizner Park Amphitheatre), a Martin Luther King Jr. unity march and ceremony (Jan. 20), Boca Street Fest downtown on Jan. 25 as part of the city’s centennial programming, and Festival of the Arts Boca (Feb. 28–Mar. 9).

Riley also reminded residents about the Boca Connect shuttle service for downtown mobility and encouraged use of the MyBoca app to find event details and to report downtown concerns. No formal action was taken on the termination notice or on Alta’s contract during the meeting; Brown said staff would follow up with additional information as requested.","CRA Director Michael Brown said on Jan. 13 that the Center for Arts and Innovation notified the city and CRA on Jan. 8 that it was terminating the Oct. 12, 2022 pre-construction and development agreement and related lease effective Jan. 8, 2025.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6698247,"Boca Raton CRA reappoints Thomas Zichman to Mizner Park Cultural Arts Association",86,926000,1012000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2108950-c36bb4ba15bdfcef25673f5a3004649d&start=926&end=1012","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2108950-c36bb4ba15bdfcef25673f5a3004649d/thumbnail_926000.jpg","/articles/6698247/Boca-Raton/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/Boca-Raton-CRA-reappoints-Thomas-Zichman-to-Mizner-Park-Cultural-Arts-Association","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6698247-87229d90516e9e7b8704116977f7f8a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1774983902&Signature=lQvZ2k8WXex~TcE2WlViVNKf95oa1bYs35gvtPOz5m7Q1cu~vETNiOI-6VtfwHN6~w5SXkI80RWjQtWMZgfdNrn6Rl03sbjlGLfwq3RrSTb2ZrWRJIPb9JIWHFkwPStK8t~AzooW1gVIB04-~3VAtGa4Hu02IMHMy1-ftyeozBaVWSGVV-gDhvGPcv71mAia6bHYkwKgnK5bjzsfFmqe8U6XiUBIRy5eSvpbuXf9y3tHHUoLWhOXMipFtpGlcc2UMNHbuXZvLsi93YiKf-DQCH8VN10yxJrgfb3yzPBF5GIoKzQRmlENBqJ0JSVUvYjGpFoTy5tHsRqx0Or~oWUmFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency on Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, adopted Resolution No. 2025-01-CRA and appointed Thomas Zichman to the board of the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Association Inc.
