Boca Raton CRA approves nondisturbance agreement protecting George Snow Scholarship Fund’s leased space
Summary
The Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency unanimously approved Resolution 2025-02-CRA authorizing the executive director to execute a nondisturbance and attornment agreement to protect the George Snow Scholarship Fund’s occupancy of space at Meisner Park Cultural Arts Association’s facility while approving a sublease amendment.
The Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency on Jan. 27 unanimously approved Resolution 2025-02-CRA, authorizing the executive director to execute a nondisturbance and attornment agreement guaranteeing the George Snow Scholarship Fund’s possession of leased premises at Meisner Park regardless of the expiration or termination of the master lease.
Ruby Riley, downtown manager, told the agency the nondisturbance agreement accompanies a proposed second amendment to a sublease between Meisner Park Cultural Arts Association, Inc. (MPCAA) and the George Snow Scholarship Fund, Inc. “The sublease amendment expands the size of the sublease premises, extends the term of the sublease, and increases the rent to be paid by George Snow,” Riley said. “Staff recommends approval of resolution number 2025 02 CRA as presented, and I’d be happy to answer any questions.”
The nut of the action: the CRA owns the land and entered a civic site lease dated Sept. 8, 1992, which was assigned to MPCAA on March 7, 2005. The proposed sublease amendment and the nondisturbance and attornment agreement are intended to protect George Snow’s tenancy within the Cultural Center if the master lease changes hands or ends.
Agency members asked clarifying questions about why a nondisturbance agreement is being executed now and whether tenants had such agreements previously. Riley said George Snow had not had a nondisturbance agreement to her knowledge and that the request arose because the tenant sought to expand into additional cultural-space premises within the building and wanted assurance of continuing possession.
The CRA opened and closed the public hearing on the resolution with no public speakers. Commissioner Wegder moved to adopt the resolution; Commissioner Thompson seconded. A roll call vote was taken: Wachter—Yes; Nacklis—Yes; Singer—Yes; Drucker—Yes; Thompson—Yes. The motion passed, 5–0.
The resolution authorizes the executive director to execute the nondisturbance and attornment agreement “subject to and in reliance upon the terms and conditions and the representations, warranties, and covenants of MPCAA and George Snow contained therein,” according to Riley’s presentation. No additional conditions, financial amounts or amended sublease text were read into the record during the meeting.
Because no public testimony was given and the resolution passed unanimously, the CRA’s immediate action is limited to authorizing the executive director to sign the agreement; the transcript contains no further implementation timetable or reporting requirement on the public record.
