Minutes of Regular Board Meeting January 18, 2022, Financial Statements of January 31, 2022 Board Action: Approval of the Consent calendar was motioned by Board member Jacobson and seconded by Board member Hurley-Lane. The motion passed unanimously.

After discussion a motion to approve allocating $50,000 to support the West Palm Beach Mobility Coalition was made by Bill Jacobson and seconded by Mary Hurley-Lane. NEW BUSINESS (Action Required) None ANNOUNCEMENTS/QUESTIONS Board member Cynthia Nalley inquired about the role of the DDA’s public relations outreach regarding a recent tragedy on the Royal Park Bridge, commenting that residents and others in the downtown had expressed concerns about safety considering the nature of the incident. Raphael Clemente explained that, due to the nature of the incident and the fact that it occurred outside of the DDA district, it would not be appropriate for the DDA to issue a public statement. Chairman Reikenis stated that the incident was related to bridge safety, falling under the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Transportation. Board member Mary Lane stated that the DDA has no control over any circumstances related to the incident and therefore felt that the DDA should not take part in any public outreach. ADJOURNMENT- The Board Chair called the question at 9:45. Board member Jacobson made the motion, seconded by Board member Hurley-Lane. Motion passes unanimously.

MEMO TO:
DDA Board Rick Reikenis, Chairman Bill Jacobson, Vice Chairman Bob Sanders Mary Hurley Lane Cynthia Nalley Varisa Lall Dass Daryl Houston
FROM: Raphael Clemente, Executive Director RE:
Value of Downtowns Report 2022
DATE: March 15, 2022
The DDA collaborated with the International Downtown Association’s (IDA) to participate in the Value of Downtowns Study. The Value of Downtowns is one of IDA’s signature research offerings that helps organizations like the DDA quantify the value of their downtowns and center cities. This detailed analysis puts Downtown West Palm Beach into perspective, comparing our district to the rest of the city and region, and side by side with other mid-sized cities on more than 100 metrics such as economy, inclusion, vibrancy, identity, and resilience. With all the growth and investment into West Palm Beach’s urban core, this was a fantastic opportunity to benchmark the district and measure our growth over time. Staff will present a summary of the report to the Board and provide printed and bound copies of the report at the board meeting.
MEMO TO:
DDA Board Rick Reikenis, Chairman Bill Jacobson, Vice Chairman Bob Sanders Mary Hurley Lane Cynthia Nalley Varisa Lall Dass Daryl Houston
FROM: Raphael Clemente, Executive Director RE:
Interest Earning Opportunity with PNC Bank
DATE: March 15, 2022
The DDA Board has discussed the potential to earn interest on its funds. Since the DDA’s funds are generated from taxes, banking opportunities are limited to qualified public depositories as defined in Florida statue. Discussions with the DDA’s primary depository, PNC Bank, it was determined that there was potential for the DDA to earn interest and remain in compliance with existing laws. PNC Bank has proposed an investment structure that will allow the DDA to deposit the bulk of its funds into U.S. Treasury Bonds which will allow the bonds mature throughout the year, while transferring the necessary amounts for operating expenses into the DDA's operating account. Under the proposed scenario, the DDA could realize net income of $18,600 annually. Staff is recommending the Board approve the investment agreement with PNC.

Client consents to transactions for the Account(s) being executed through brokers affiliated with Investment Manager in accordance with this Agreement and the affiliated broker’s execution policies. Client may revoke the consent provided in this Section at any time by Instructions to Investment Manager.

Upon request, Investment Manager will provide additional information to Client concerning commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups and mark-downs and other transaction costs. Client understands and agrees that Investment Manager has an indirect financial incentive to select an affiliated broker to execute transactions in the Account(s), as it results in compensation to its affiliate.

When selecting brokers Investment Manager may take into account the full range and quality of brokerage services including execution capability, trading expertise, accuracy of execution, commission rates, research, reputation and integrity, fairness in resolving disputes, financial responsibility, responsiveness, and any other relevant factors. Investment Manager also may consider brokerage and research services provided by brokers even though the Account(s) may not benefit from such research. Broker commission rate is one component of price and a factor considered with other factors. Investment Manager will not be obligated to seek the lowest commission rate in advance of an Account transaction or to select brokers based on its purported commission rate. Accordingly, Investment Manager shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully solely for causing Client to pay a higher commission for a securities trade than other brokers would have charged for the same transaction. e. Aggregation of Trades. Investment Manager may, in its sole discretion, but is not required to, combine purchases and sales of securities held in the Account(s) with purchases and sales of the same securities held in accounts of other Investment Manager (or its affiliates) clients occurring on the same day. When securities transactions are combined, the actual prices applicable to the combined transactions may be averaged, and the Account(s) and the other accounts may be deemed to have purchased or sold their proportionate shares of the securities involved at the average price then calculated. Client understands that Investment Manager may not be able to seek better pricing or lower costs on securities transactions by combining Account(s) securities transactions as described in this Section and that combined securities transactions may or may not benefit the Account(s). 11.

APPENDIX II CERTIFICATION REGARDING BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF LEGAL ENTITY CUSTOMERS
I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS What is the purpose of this form? To help the government fight financial crime, federal regulation requires financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information about the beneficial owners of legal entity Clients. Legal entities can be abused to disguise involvement in terrorist financing, money laundering, tax evasion, corruption, fraud, and other financial crimes. Requiring the disclosure of key individuals who ultimately own or control a legal entity (i.e., the beneficial owners) helps law enforcement investigate and prosecute these crimes. Who has to complete this form? This form must be completed by the person opening or updating an account on behalf of a legal entity. For the purposes of this form, a legal entity includes a corporation, limited liability company or other entity that is created by a filing of a public document with a Secretary of State or similar office, a general partnership, and any similar business entity formed in the United States or a foreign country. Legal entity does not include sole proprietorships, unincorporated associations, or individuals opening or updating accounts on their own behalf.
PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE CERTIFICATIONS IN THE GRAY BOXES BELOW TO DETERMINE IF CLIENT IS EXCLUDED FROM COMPLETING ALL OR PORTION OF THIS FORM. What information do I have to provide? This form requires you to provide the name, address, date of birth and Social Security number (or passport number or other similar information, in the case of Non-U.S. Persons) for the following individuals (i.e., the beneficial owners):1 (i)
Each individual, if any, who owns, directly or indirectly, 25 percent or more of the equity interests of the legal entity Client (e.g., each individual that owns 25 percent or more of the shares of a corporation); and
(ii)
An individual with significant responsibility for managing the legal entity Client (e.g., a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, General Partner, Managing Member, President, Vice President, or Treasurer). Regardless of the number of individuals identified under section (i), you must provide the identifying information of one individual under section (ii). It is possible that in some circumstances the same individual might be identified under both sections (e.g., the President of Acme, Inc. who also holds a 30% equity 1
If a trust, directly or indirectly, owns 25 percent or more of the equity interests of a legal entity, the trustee is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the equity interest for purposes of this form and the trustee must complete this form with the trustee’s information. For accounts opened by an intermediary on behalf of the intermediary’s underlying customer, the intermediary is deemed to be legal entity subject to reporting under this form, not the intermediary’s underlying customers. Accordingly, this form should be completed by the intermediary entity with the intermediary’s information.

Special Terms Applicable to Trust Account(s) Trustees understand that the Investment Manager shall have no responsibility for the management or administration of the trust and that is the responsibility of Trustees to comply with the terms of the trust agreement, a court order and/or applicable law in the management and administration, as well as the number of trustees required to bind the trust. Unless otherwise directed on Appendix I, Investment Manager may rely on the Instruction of one Trustee as representing the agreement of all Trustees necessary to bind Client trust. Each Trustee and Client releases Investment Manager from any liability that may result from following such Instruction. If, at any time, Investment Manager believes there is no trustee serving on behalf of Client, Investment Manager will serve as custodian only (as set forth in Section 1c. of this Agreement) until Investment Manager has received satisfactory notice that successor trustee(s) have been duly appointed and agree to adopt this Agreement. Any successor trustee(s)’s use of any Investment Manager services in connection with the Account shall constitute acceptance and adoption of this Agreement.

Police Athletic League Program Sponsorship
Date:
March 15, 2022
Previously the DDA has partnered with Related Group, the Police Department, and others to support programs and projects that provide evening activities for juveniles in the Downtown area. This includes not only supporting programs that provide activities for young people, but also in the creation and enforcement of policies like the juvenile curfew ordinance. The Police Athletic League (PAL), located at 720 North Tamarind Avenue, has historically been an effective service provider for young people in the Downtown area. Recently staff met with PAL’s Executive Director Brittany Perdigon, to discuss their programs and the DDA’s continued support of the important work that PAL does in the local community. Brittany Perdigon, Executive Director, will attend the meeting to present an update on PAL. Staff requests Board approval to renew the DDA’s sponsorship of PAL’s programs beginning March 2022, in the amount of $25,000.
