Votes at a glance: Riviera Beach CRA Jan. 22 actions include landscape contract and project consistency findings
The Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency recorded the following formal actions on Jan. 22 during its regular meeting.

Votes at a glance

- Contract award: Resolution 2025‑05 — The CRA approved a professional landscape maintenance contract with Terracon Services, Inc., not to exceed $231,018. Staff recommended awarding to the lowest responsive bidder; the board approved the contract 5–0.

- Consistency finding: Safe Harbor Marina Project — Resolution 2025‑03. Planning staff recommended that the CRA find the Safe Harbor Marina project consistent with the CRA community redevelopment plan; the board approved the finding (vote recorded 4–0 in meeting minutes) and the item will proceed to city council for final action.

- Consistency finding: Blue Heron Commons — Resolution 2025‑04. Planning staff recommended the project be found consistent with the CRA plan; the board approved the finding (vote recorded 4–0) and the project will advance through the city’s review process.

- Direction to negotiate: Broadway signature project — Board authorized staff to negotiate with Exact Capital Group after a ranking process following presentations by shortlisted teams; staff will return with a negotiated term sheet for board approval (see separate coverage).

- Direction to negotiate: Rafiki Tiki lease amendment — Board authorized staff to negotiate a second amendment to Rafiki Tiki’s Marina Event Center lease and return the proposed lease amendment to the board (motion passed 3–2). Staff will include JLL in negotiations and present a vote‑ready amendment including exact square footage, rent, build‑out obligations and protections for future Marina Village redevelopment.

How the board voted (selected items)

- Terracon Services, Inc., landscape contract (Res. 2025‑05): Passed 5–0.
- Safe Harbor Marina Project consistency (Res. 2025‑03): Passed 4–0.
- Blue Heron Commons consistency (Res. 2025‑04): Passed 4–0.
- Rafiki Tiki lease negotiation authorization (6a): Passed 3–2 (Miller Anderson, Lanier opposed).
- Developer negotiations for Broadway signature project (5a): Board used ranking of finalists; staff instructed to negotiate with Exact Capital Group (ranking resulted in 4 for Exact, 1 for 262601 Broadway Partners).

Notes: All formal approvals that find projects consistent with the CRA plan are advisory to the city council; specific contracts and any development agreements will return to the board for final execution where required. The Rafiki Tiki authorization directed staff to negotiate only; a formal, amended lease requires a subsequent board vote.
