CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
•
r
To the Taxpayers: . .
During the past twelve months, the Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District has taken great steps toward
N providing both new and improved park facilities for our community.
f
Our continuing cooperative ventures with the City have been roductive over a er a wide range of activities.
During the last fiscal year, our various payments to the City of Boca Raton totalled $8.7 million.
The Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex is now fully operational. The salt water intake s
providing a continuous source of ocean water to the outdoor tanks, research laboratory and classrooms.
During the year we made additional funds available to the City of Boca Raton so the complex could be
open to the public seven days a week, Sunday is now a day for families to utilize the excellent facilities,
With the funding from this District, the City completed construction of the boardwalk across the beach
dune at State Road A-1-A and Spanish River Boulevard. This improved beach access is utilized by many
local residents. In addition, it protects the sand dune, thereby slowing the rate of beach erosion. This
boardwalk was built with the newest environmental concepts in mind. Plastic wood, made from recycled
materials, was used to construct the boardwalk. The life of this product is many times the life of real
wood, and many trees were saved by this utilization.
1 Hurricane Andrew is one the greatest natural disasters ever to strike the United States, ha most serious
impact in Florida was limited to counties to the south of us. Our beaches still retain much of the sand
that was placed there during the 1988 restoration project. It will be several more years before another
restoration project is required.
The City of Boca Raton decided to demolish the old Marine Safety Building at the intersection of
Palmetto Park Road and State Road A-1-A, The new headquarters for Marine Safety will be in Spanish
River Park adjacent to the Park Ranger Headquarters. Funds allocated by the District last year will be
carried over and used, along with City matching money, at this new location. By this change, the public
will be able to use more of its beach front property,

The City of Boca Raton, with funds provided by the Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District, plans to
develop the final stage of Red Reef Park during 1994 and 1995. This work will include renovation of
the Executive Golf Course and construction of a new building for golf operations. The existing ocean
boardwalk will also be extended southward to South Beach Park, As with other boardwalk projects
funded by this District, this one will protect the sand dune while providing greater public access to
beaches and the ocean. When completed, visitors to the park will be able to walk entirely on the
Palmetto Park Road to the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center.

.._ -_...:...n,As in the past, the District has provided funding to`tlie'Ci�Cyof Boeallaton f6r the operation or'"R`atf Reef'
-Park andthe payment of the 1974 beach acquisition,bonds, The City.Parks,and RecreatiaiiDepartntent
operates and maintains several parks with funds provided by this District. It also serves as very capable
technical consultants in all park matters.
' Patch Reef Park
During the year, we investigated an inquiry regarding possible acquisition of forty-five acres of vacant
land adjacent to Patch Reef Park, It is the intention of the City of Boca Raton to acquire this property
for environmental preservation purposes. In the meantime, the owner of the property, Arvida
Corporation, is pursuing rezoning and development of the property for residential and commercial
purposes. We are currently monitoring the actions of the City and Arvida regarding this property, We
are prepared to discuss a possible joint use of the property with either of the two entities,
During the year, the Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District entered into a reciprocal use agreement with
St. Mark Greek Orthodox Church,our neighbor to the west. The agreement, which is scheduled for final
approval next month, calls for reciprocal use by either the Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District or St.
Mark Church of the neighbor's parking facilities for large events.
The Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District provided a new surface for all seventeen tennis courts at our
complex at Patch Reef Park. We feel that this award-winning facility is the finest in the country, and
through a rigorous maintenance program, we are able to ensure that it stays in the same condition as
when it was built. Membership is at 440, and we expect steady growth.
angar.laggLUEk
During the year, the Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District made the final payment to the City of Boca
Raton for the acquisition of the 132 acres, and the City then transferred Title to the Greater Boca Raton
Beach Tax District who is now sole owner of the property.
Construction of the first phase of facilities will be completed in 1994. We have selected a new design
team, Schwab, Twitty &Hanser Architectural Group, for future phases; design of the community center
will commence in 1994.

Florida Atlantic University
The Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District has provided the University funding for the design of three
additional soccer fields on the University campus. The University anticipates that they will be ready for
use in the Fall of 1995.
•
We provided funding to improve the area adjacent to the two existing athletic fields (Previously
years, g grants). and other natural vegetativ have been installed, and iq
constructed through District rants . New trees
W future ears, these areas will be"utilized fo'Ypicniics and'otheroutings. y
Verde Community Park
k
Construction was completed and the facilities dedicated last January. Enjoyment of the playground and
athletic facilities by the neighbors, school children and general community has been tremendous. The
District is continuing to discuss with the Palm Beach County School District the opportunity to jointly
utilize various publicly owned properties for a variety of community programs.
rQihir Matters Considere4 •
During the year, residents along north A-I-A requested that we consider acquisition of a 17 acre tract
running from the Intracoastal Waterway to the ocean. While the owner indicated a willingness to sell,
he would not furnish a suggested sales price. The owners provided an appraisal for the property in the
amount of$16,450,000. Based upon the price of the property, our limited resources, and the fact that
the property is not connected to any other publicly owned land, we discontinued discussions.
The Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District is constantly striving to improve the quality of life for all
constituents through the development and operation of first-rate facilities. Our goal is to make Boca
Raton the best place in the United States to live; if we have not yet met that goal, we are close.

DPSCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
�, - - I',r...�4• •-. _ , r:7 _.1 •7' -• , n , —2 P, n ,'.
The Greater Boca Raton Beach Tax District was created by a special act of the Florida Legislature in
1974 for the purpose of acquiring, developing and operating beach front and other park properties. The
District is composed of the land area in southeast Palm Beach County, lying east of the Florida turnpike
and south of Clint Moore Road, including all of the City of Boca Raton. The District is governed by a
five-member elected commission, which has the authority to levy taxes on the value of real and personal
property within its boundaries. There is a 2 mill cap on the taxes to be levied, The millage rate levied
by the District in 1992 was 0.9161 mill, The Board of Commissioners regularly meets twice a month
to accomplish its various functions,
In 1976, the District, pursuant to a voter referendum, entered into an agreement with the city of Boca
raton to repay the City for the Beach Bonds used to acquire the property currently known as Red Reef
Park and Red Reef Executive,Golf Course. The District is obligated to continue those payments, which
will terminate in 1998.
During 1981, the District acquired the land for Patch Reef Park located on Yamato Road between
Military Trail and Saint Andrew's Boulevard, The land was acquired in part as tenants-in-common with
Palm Beach County. The County paid $1,000,000 for its share arid has leased to the District the
County's rights to the property for 99 years, provided a park is operated on the site and all residents of
the County are allowed to use the park.
In 1988, the district acquired a 132 acre tract of land located at the intersection of Military Trial and
Palmetto Park Road for $16 million. The City of Boca Raton paid $12.2 million and was reimbursed
by the District over a five year period. To date, the District has prepared a master plan and begun the
first phase of construction. The name of this park will be Sugar Sand Park.
In addition to the land acquisitions described abovet the. District has undertaken the following
development and operational functions: ,
Construction of a system of boardwalks and parking facilities to enable the use of the beach front property
