BMT_ __ [x] Not Required Please initial one. Summary Explanation/Background: The Town has received notification from the Palm Beach County Department of Housing and Economic Development (DHED) that their department has commenced the preparation of the Five Year Consolidated Plan, which is a requirement to receive certain funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Five Year Consolidated Plan requires, among other things, the identification of geographical areas (i.e., Target Areas) in which expenditure of CDBG funding may be concentrated. A CDBG Target Area qualifies a municipality for an annual share of CDBG funding through the Palm Beach County local entitlement process. As part of this process, the Town of Lake Park now has the opportunity to create a new Target Area or to recertify the existing one and must submit data to support the area’s designation as a Target Area which must meet all of the following criteria:  At least 51 percent of the residents must be of low and moderate incomes;  Land must be at least 51 percent residential;  Be one contiguous geographic area, no less than 0.5 square mile and no more than 2.0 square miles in size bounded by naturally occurring or man-made features (municipal boundaries, canals, roadways, etc.) to demarcate the Target Area; and  Area must exhibit visible signs of deterioration or underdevelopment, such as substandard housing, inadequate infrastructure (water, sewer, streets and sidewalks), or inadequate public facilities (parks, libraries, community centers, etc.). Sub-standard housing is defined as residential structures with code violations, or exhibiting visible signs of deterioration or deferred maintenance, structural damage or collapse. DHED provided the Town with a map which delineates the Towns’ existing CDBG Target Area. A copy of letter received and map is attached. Staff has reviewed the map and has determined that there is an opportunity to include additional residential areas. See attached proposed CDBG Target Area(s) Map (new boundary = 1.65 square miles). The proposed map meets the all of the above criteria for designation of a CDBG Target Area and Staff recommends that the Town’s existing CDBG Target Area be expanded to include such areas. Recommended Motion: I move to APPROVE the CDBG Target Area expansion areas pursuant to the proposed map attached hereto.  TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS Exhibit C REGULAR TOWN COMMISSION MEETING Wednesday, November 20, 2024 Starting tonight, November 20th, 2024, our commission meetings will be streamed live on our YouTube channel, in addition to our website.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT  Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Update: Staff drafted an ADU Ordinance however, due to some pending litigation, the Town Attorney advised Staff this should not move forward until a settlement is reached on the lawsuit. The Town Attorney will then wrap up his review of the Ordinance and Staff will bring it forward. The intent was to also give the new Town Manager an opportunity to review the proposed Ordinance as well. We anticipate the Ordinance should be able to move forward to the Town Commission in early 2025.  The Avalon Bay/Northlake Promenade project (in the Publix plaza) recently approved by the Town Commission is currently in permitting. They intend on breaking ground in the first quarter for 2025 and the project will take approximately two years to complete construction.  Tenant buildouts continue for the various ‘newer’ office/warehouse buildings. New businesses that complete their registration process are identified on a monthly basis in the Community Development monthly reports provided to the Town Commission (along with additional points of interest for the Department). Some additional tenant buildouts include three units on the ground floor of 801 Park Avenue (One Park Place): a florist, a contractor business office and showroom, and a hair salon. When the new Town Manager comes onboard, a development projects update presentation will be provided to the Town Commission as well.  Palm Beach County is working through a revised Lake Park Scrub Area plan that will aim to incorporate a new parking lot area, recreational trails, an observation deck, along with other features. A prior Town Commission was concerned with placing a parking lot area on the Silver Beach side of the Scrub Area and this previously delayed the County’s funding for the improvements. The County explored options further and will provide their updates to the Town Commission at your January 15, 2025 meeting. While the County will be explaining the reasoning as to why the parking lot is only feasible on the Silver Beach Road side, the County will also be presenting a definitive timeline for improvements throughout the Scrub area that are long overdue. A public outreach meeting will also be held by the County after they have an opportunity to present to the Town Commission on January 15, 2025. 1 HUMAN RESOURCES New Employee We are pleased to announce that our new employee Antonio Sturgis, our new Groundskeeper in our Public Works Department who was hired on October 31, 2024, is in the audience.

TOWN COMMISSION CONSENSUS Request from the Village of North Palm Beach The Town has been approached by the North Palm Beach Village Manager seeking to utilize our boat ramp while they reconstruct their own boat ramp at Anchorage Park. We are seeking your approval to enter into an Inter-Local Agreement with the Village of North Palm for their residents to use our boat ramp while their own boat ramp is under reconstruction. The reconstruction project is scheduled to begin in early January and be completed in March of 2025. We are proposing that we offer residents of North Palm who have a sticker for Anchorage Park the use of our ramp during the above period at no charge in exchange for allowing our residents use of their ramp during our closure / relocation of the Lake Park Boat Ramp. As information, the number of North Palm boat ramp stickers that exist is 225. They charge $60.00 for each sticker annually. January-March are the slowest months for revenue at the Lake Park boat ramp for the entire year: January 24 - $1,597 total revenue February 24 - $1,802 total revenue March 24 - $2,588.75 total revenue Should the Commission approve by consensus of entering into such an Interlocal Agreement with the Village of North Palm Beach, staff will bring back the Interlocal Agreement and authorizing Resolution at the December 18, 2024 Commission meeting. This would not be the first time the Town of Lake Park has partnered through an Interlocal Agreement with the Village of North Palm Beach. Several years ago, when the Town was having difficulty filling the Library Director position, the Village through an Interlocal Agreement 3 loaned its Library Director to the Town until we were able to fill our position. Additionally, in 2016 when the Town was unable to fill its Camp Counselor positions, we entered into an Interlocal Agreement to have our campers use the Village’s Summer Camp Program that year.
