CRA project manager Kimberly Vasquez told the board the property — described in the packet as mostly vacant with two current tenants and limited exterior updates since 1972 — has a proposed eligible project cost of $750,000. Property owners (listed in the application as Sarah Martel and an LLC/trust) plan to replace windows and doors, add metal cladding, raise and finish the parapet, add exterior lighting, and perform minor landscaping.

Under the program, the applicant is eligible for a maximum reimbursable amount of $200,000. Vasquez said the East CRA line item for façade incentives had $180,000 available at the time of the hearing; to fund the full $200,000 requested the CRA would move $20,000 from a different line item (dissemination of information) into the incentives line without returning to the board for another vote.

Public commenters raised concerns about fairness, the size of the grant and possible conflicts of interest. Michael Skavorski urged commissioners to recuse themselves if they had prior dealings with the property owners; Tundra King and other speakers urged the CRA to consider distributing funds to homeowners or smaller businesses, saying $200,000 for one commercial property was a large allocation. Danielle Flancha asked for clarification about potential conflicts if board members had previously done business with the applicants.

Vasquez and staff responded with program details: the facade incentive is structured as a brick-and-mortar reimbursement program that typically pays 80% of qualifying façade improvements when the applicant spends $25,000 or more, capped at $20,000 per storefront up to a maximum reimbursement of $200,000. The 200k cap in this case derives from the number of storefront addresses at the property (over 10 storefronts at $20,000 each). Program rules require proof of investment (receipts), a minimum 2-year holding period after reimbursement (if sold sooner, repayment is required), and that the property be on the tax roll (nonprofits that do not pay property taxes are generally ineligible). Staff said payments are reimbursable and the CRA can also pay contractors directly upon verified completion to ensure work meets specifications.

Grant applicant representatives noted interior work and elevator repairs are underway and that some remediation (40-year certification) and interior demolition have been completed. Grant representative Grant Gallupi clarified he is a project partner and that the trust owns the commercial parcel; he said the team plans to start work promptly.

Several commissioners expressed support but asked staff to review program outreach and potential program updates. Commissioners asked that staff present a concise overview of the façade incentive program at a future CRA meeting so the board could consider tweaks to the program, including possible longer holding periods before sale and additional outreach to Northwest and East CRA businesses.

The board approved the agreement and the related $20,000 budget transfer by roll call; the vote was unanimous (all yes). Staff said the program parameters, reimbursement requirements and the transfer would be documented in the executed grant agreement.","The CRA approved a $200,000 reimbursable facade and business site improvement grant for the property at 110–130 North Ocean Boulevard (application by LFTIRREVTR).

The measure, introduced as a resolution “establishing rules of conduct at CRA meetings,” adds language that authorizes removal from meetings for violations, a six-month bar for repeated removals and a further one-year suspension for continued misconduct. The resolution also specifies that the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO) shall designate a deputy to serve as sergeant-at-arms at CRA meetings when requested.

Board members said the enforcement language was added after recent meetings featured personal attacks, interruptions and profanity. City staff and the city attorney said the draft mirrors language that has been in the city code for decades but places it directly in CRA policy so attendees who come specifically to CRA meetings have a clear, written notice.

During public comments before the vote, several residents urged stricter enforcement of decorum rules. Michael Skavorski criticized the use of profanity at the podium and urged removal of repeat offenders. A public commentator who identified herself as Jocelyn Jackson drew several mayoral admonitions during her remarks earlier in the meeting; commissioners discussed that exchange when debating enforcement language.

Vice Mayor Fournier, who pushed for practical enforcement, said the added language gives the mayor and a majority of commissioners “the opportunity to say this person or these people need to be removed because they are violating the rules.” City counsel noted the resolution creates a process whereby the mayor may request BSO to remove an individual and the mayor and a majority of the commission may impose suspensions.

Other commissioners supported adoption but urged consistent and transparent enforcement. Commissioner Fesick and others said the rules largely restate existing city code but said a short public summary and a verbal reminder at the start of each meeting could improve compliance.

The CRA adopted the resolution by roll-call vote. The roll call recorded: Commissioner Pheasant — No; Commissioner Perkins — No; Commissioner Sigerson Eaton — Yes; Commissioner Smith — Yes; Vice Mayor Fournier — Yes; Chair Harton — Yes. The resolution was approved and is effective immediately.

The resolution’s enforcement provisions will be available in the CRA packet and summarized at future meetings, staff said.

The action follows months of contentious public remarks at city and CRA meetings and comes as commissioners and staff said they want clearer, consistently enforced ground rules for public engagement.","The Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency adopted a resolution formally adopting rules of conduct for CRA meetings, adding enforcement language that allows removal from meetings and multi-month suspensions for repeat violators after public commenters disrupted the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
