City Government31 Delray Beach code-violation cases address property and business compliance issuesThe document lists 31 magistrate code-violation cases in the City of Delray Beach. The cases involve property owners, trusts, estates, and businesses, with violations recorded at residential, commercial, and development sites. Common issues include missing building numbers, building and landscape maintenance, unpermitted work, site-plan and certificate requirements, business tax receipts, signage, parking and vehicle encroachment, outdoor use, temporary tent operations, abandoned refrigerators, storm-sewer discharges, and audiovisual equipment on private property. Several cases involve repeated allegations at the same properties, particularly GDL Enterprises at 229 SE 2nd Avenue. The list identifies case numbers, respondents, addresses, alleged code sections, and assigned enforcement officers; it does not state outcomes, penalties, or compliance deadlines.26-1172: Magistrate ViolationsCity GovernmentFour properties face alleged maintenance, permitting, and identification violationsThe document lists four alleged code violations pending before the City of Delray Beach. The respondents include property owners, an LLC, and associated registered agents or occupants. Violations concern landscape and yard maintenance, vehicle encroachment, building upkeep, minimum property maintenance, required certificates of appropriateness, building permits, and building-number display. Properties are located at 2132 Dorson Way, 305 SW 7th Avenue, 131 NW 4th Avenue, and 125 SW 13th Avenue. The cases illustrate how city legislation regulates property appearance, safety, permitting, historic or design-related approvals, and identification of structures. The listing identifies noncompliance allegations, but does not state whether violations were corrected, penalties imposed, or final decisions entered.26-1173: Noncompliance Of Board Order And Assessment Of FineCity GovernmentThree code enforcement matters at 302 6th Avenue remain under city reviewThe document lists three old-business code enforcement matters involving 302 NE 6th Avenue LLC, represented by the Law Office of Paul A. Krasker as registered agent. All cases concern the property at 302 6th Avenue in Delray Beach and are identified as status updates rather than new violations or final decisions. The entries include case 2025-004685, investigative report 2025-004908, and code enforcement matter CODE25-000010. The excerpt does not describe the alleged violations, actions taken, penalties, or outcomes. Its significance is that the cases remain under review by the city’s enforcement process, with updates to be considered publicly by the relevant municipal body.26-1174: Old BusinessHousingBoard approves adaptive reuse plan for The Bungalows Restaurant downtownThe May 27, 2026 draft minutes document a Delray Beach Site Plan Review and Appearance Board meeting. Four members attended and approved the agenda and prior minutes. After required quasi-judicial procedures, the Board unanimously approved a Level 2 site plan for The Bungalows Restaurant at 25–27 SE 3rd Avenue. The project will adaptively reuse a vacant two-story building, add covered outdoor dining, update architectural and landscape elements, waive the required five-foot perimeter landscape strip, and establish loading adequacy. No public comments were received. The decision affects the property owner, applicant, nearby residents, and future restaurant patrons, and reflects the Board’s finding that the proposal complies with the City’s Land Development Regulations and Comprehensive Plan.26-1071: May 27, 2026BudgetCRA reallocates $831,000 toward property, arts, storage, and housing projectsThe Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) proposed Resolution No. 2026-09 to adopt Budget Amendment No. 2 for fiscal year 2025–2026, effective immediately upon approval. The amendment reallocates the existing $108.6 million budget without changing total revenues or expenditures. It reduces funding for Northwest Neighborhood Improvements by $771,000 and the Green Market Program by $60,000, while increasing allocations for maintenance and renovation at CRA-owned properties, Arts Warehouse capital improvements, program costs, storage, and Roosevelt Avenue affordable/workforce housing design. The changes affect CRA projects, programs, property operations, and redevelopment investments throughout Delray Beach. Adoption authorizes updated appropriations, preserves the remainder of the resolution if any provision is invalid, and repeals conflicting provisions.26-0127 CRA: DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BUDGET AMENDMENT NO. 2, FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026City GovernmentCRA funds two City officers for litter and graffiti prevention in redevelopment areasThe proposed interlocal agreement lets the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) fund two City Litter Prevention Officers serving CRA Subareas 3, 4, and 8 and portions of the Clean and Safe District. Officers would work seven days a week in split shifts, addressing litter, debris, trash, and graffiti. The agreement, effective October 1, 2021, renews annually if budgets allow and may be canceled with 30 days’ notice. CRA funding covers specified salary and benefit costs, with future funding subject to annual budgets and caps. The City must submit quarterly expenditure, activity, photo, and GPS reports, while public-records and audit requirements promote oversight. In 2026, the City also proposed moving the positions from Sanitation to Code Enforcement, maintaining CRA-funded services and adding performance tracking.26-0128 CRA: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH - FOR LITTER PREVENTION SERVICESHousingCRA extends deadline for Habitat affordable home at 260 NW 9th AvenueDelray Beach CRA Resolution 2026-10 authorizes an amendment to its 2025 purchase and sale agreement with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County for the CRA-owned vacant lot at 260 NW 9th Avenue. The property is intended for one affordable/workforce single-family home. Because required alley and corner-clip right-of-way dedications, along with setback requirements, prompted a redesign and delayed building-permit approval, Habitat requested additional time. The amendment extends the completion and certificate-of-occupancy deadline by 545 days, to March 28, 2028. All other agreement terms remain unchanged. The resolution takes effect upon adoption by the CRA Board.26-0129 CRA: RESOLUTION 2026-10 -APPROVAL OF A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR A CRA-OWNED VACANT LOT LOCATED AT 260 NW 9TH AVENUE, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE/WORKFORCE HOUSING BETWEEN THE DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF GREATER PALM BEACH COUNTY, INC.HousingCRA authorizes up to $243,500 for workforce-housing site and home designsThe Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) proposes a work assignment with Peacock Architects for its property at 1300 Lake Ida Road, near Roosevelt Avenue. The agreement authorizes up to $243,500 for three phases: modifying the existing church campus site plan, subdividing the property into approximately seven to eight single-family workforce-housing lots, and designing two prototype homes with permitting, bidding, and construction-administration support. Work must be authorized in writing and is expected within six months, subject to extensions. The project supports the CRA’s redevelopment and affordable-housing goals while maintaining church access and operations. Funding is allocated from GL#6530.26-0131 CRA: APPROVAL OF A WORK ASSIGNMENT FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES WITH THE TAMARA PEACOCK COMPANY ARCHITECTS OF FLORIDA, INC.

The two-story, 4,807-square-foot property is intended to provide affordable commercial space, potentially for Nova Southeastern University’s nursing program and future medical, healthcare, or pharmacy services. The project supports the Set Transformation Plan, economic redevelopment, and improved access to healthcare in the Southwest Neighborhood. Tenant-specific design beyond the base scope would require additional authorization. Work may begin only after written notice to proceed and is expected within one year.26-0132 CRA: APPROVAL OF A WORK ASSIGNMENT FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES WITH CPZ ARCHITECTS, INC. FOR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE INTERIOR BUILDOUT OF THE CRA-OWNED COMMERCIAL BUILDING AT 95 SW 5TH AVENUE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $86,270.City GovernmentCRA approves up to $50,216 for a community history mural in The SetThe Delray Beach CRA is seeking approval for an independent contractor agreement with artists Sonata Kazimieraitienė (Manotiles LLC) and Symphonii Smith-Kennedy to create a mural on the south wall of the CRA-owned building at 95 SW 5th Avenue. The mural will reflect The Set community’s history, culture, and perseverance, particularly Frog Alley, through research and resident participation in outreach meetings and ceramic workshops. The project uses painted and printed ceramic tile, mosaic, and fused glass designed for exterior durability. The contract is capped at $50,216, including materials, installation, artist services, and a contingency. The mural requires CRA approval and City Public Art Advisory Board permitting, with public-records, insurance, maintenance, ownership, and warranty obligations.26-0133 CRA: APPROVAL OF AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT WITH SONATA KAZIMIERAITIENE (MANOTILES, LLC), AND SYMPHONII SMITH-KENNEDY FOR THE EXTERIOR MURAL FOR THE CRA-OWNED BUILDING LOCATED AT 95 SW 5th AVENUE, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $50,216Budget$89.57 million CRA budget proposed for Delray Beach redevelopment projectsThe Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency’s proposed FY 2026–2027 budget totals $89.57 million in both projected revenue and expenditures. Revenue includes $48.66 million in tax-increment financing, with $28.63 million from the City and $20.02 million from the County, plus $39.71 million carried forward from the prior year and other property, grant, loan, and program income. Major spending supports West Atlantic and downtown redevelopment, neighborhood plans, Northwest improvements, Pompey Park, land acquisition, parking, affordable and workforce housing, building renovations, grants, clean-and-safe services, arts, and administration. The proposal affects CRA-funded projects and services in Delray Beach. It was presented for discussion on August 27, 2026; final approval was scheduled for September 24, 2026.26-0137 CRA: DISCUSSION - UPDATE ON THE DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BUDGET PRESENTATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027City GovernmentCRA authorized to observe Florida Redevelopment Week in September 2026Resolution 2026-11 authorizes the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to observe Florida Redevelopment Week from September 14–18, 2026. The observance supports a statewide effort by the Florida Redevelopment Association to explain the role of CRAs, recognize redevelopment achievements, highlight projects, and engage residents, businesses, and community partners. It relates to the CRA’s mission, established in 1985, to eliminate slum and blight through affordable housing, infrastructure, economic development, and commercial revitalization, including projects such as 98 NW 5th Avenue. The resolution has no funding impact, repeals conflicting provisions, preserves the remainder if any part is invalid, and takes effect upon adoption.26-0139 CRA: A RESOLUTION OF THE DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO OBSERVE FLORIDA REDEVELOPMENT WEEKCity GovernmentCRA Board to review Executive Director performance and future compensationThe Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) staff report schedules the CRA Executive Director’s annual performance review for discussion and direction by the CRA Board on August 27, 2026. The review is required under the Director’s 2019 employment agreement and is intended to support recommendations on compensation and benefits for the following year. The agreement has been amended six times between 2020 and 2025. The item affects the CRA Board and Executive Director, while providing a formal process for evaluating leadership and considering future employment terms.26-0140 CRA: CRA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ANNUAL REVIEWCity GovernmentCRA considers replacing redevelopment committee with project-specific panelsThe Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is considering dissolving its Redevelopment Advisory Committee (RAC) and redesignating it as an ad hoc committee. Created by Resolution 2023-03, the RAC reviewed redevelopment options for CRA-owned property at 235 SE 2nd Avenue in Osceola Park. The 21,497-square-foot, Central Business District site formerly housed equipment and auto-repair businesses and includes a deteriorated warehouse. An $80,000 grant will support demolition and cleanup. The RAC held four scheduled meetings, but its final meeting lacked a quorum, and its chair became ineligible after moving. Under the RAC guidelines, the CRA Board may dissolve the committee by majority vote. An ad hoc structure would allow committees to form as needed for specific projects.26-0141 CRA: DELRAY BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEEHousingVariance sought to add a second story at 101 NE 11th StreetThe document is a variance justification for 101 NE 11th Street in Delray Beach. The property was built in 1951, and its existing west setback is 7.5 feet, whereas current regulations require 10 feet. The owners seek permission to add a second floor while maintaining the existing footprint and avoiding further encroachment. They state that the nonconforming setback resulted from older regulations, not their actions, and that nearby homes have similar upper-level additions. The variance would provide additional bedrooms and living space for the owners’ family, while avoiding changes to plumbing, gas, pool equipment, and the home’s design. The owners contend the project would modernize the property, preserve neighborhood character, and potentially enhance surrounding property values.26-1095: 101 NE 11th Street (PZ-000748-2026): Consideration of a variance request from Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.3.4(K), Development Standards Matrix - Residential Zoning Districts, to reduce the minimum required west side-interior setback from 10 feet to 7 feet 8.4 inches to allow the construction of a second story that expands a legal non-conformity on an existing single-family residence.

Planner: Andrew Pandolfo, PlannerCity GovernmentNine property and business code cases referred to a magistrateThe document lists nine City of Delray Beach code-enforcement cases referred to a magistrate. The respondents include individual property owners, estates, businesses, and a registered agent. Alleged violations involve property identification and building upkeep; required building, vegetation-removal, and construction permits; parking or vehicle encroachment on vacant or private property; landscape maintenance; building numbering; erosion and sediment controls; construction-site requirements; and a business tax receipt. The cases concern properties across Delray Beach, including addresses on NW 14th Avenue, Bond Way, SW and NE 11th and 19th Streets, SE 6th Avenue, and a vacant parcel. The legislation and cited code provisions matter because they establish enforceable standards for safety, appearance, land use, environmental protection, and lawful business operation.26-1099: Magistrate ViolationsCity GovernmentNine property owners and entities face fines for code violationsThe document lists nine City of Delray Beach code-enforcement noncompliance cases involving residential properties, a homeowners’ association, an estate, and a corporation. Violations include vehicle encroachment into regulated landscaping, inadequate building or property maintenance, missing building permits, required permits and inspections, landscape-maintenance deficiencies, and mosquito-prevention requirements. The cases identify property owners or responsible entities, addresses, case numbers, assigned officers, and the relevant municipal code sections. The legislation matters because these provisions establish standards for safe, maintained, permitted, and sanitary properties, while the enforcement listings provide public notice of alleged violations and the parties responsible for addressing them.26-1100: Noncompliance Of Board Order And Assessment Of FineCity GovernmentFoundation seeks reduction of code-enforcement lien or fine for 521 NW 2nd StreetThe document lists an old-business matter before the City of Delray Beach involving Code Enforcement case CODE26-000709. The respondent is Shared Future Foundation, Inc., formerly known as Thrive Collective Foundation, with Dr. Sara Selznick identified as its registered agent. The listed property is 521 NW 2nd Street. The organization is requesting a reduction of a lien or fine imposed in connection with an alleged code violation. The excerpt does not describe the violation, the amount owed, the basis for the request, or whether the City approved or denied it. The item matters because any decision could affect enforcement of city regulations and the financial obligation attached to the property or respondent.26-1101: Old BusinessCity GovernmentCity report details major infrastructure investments and policy changes for Delray BeachDelray Beach’s 2025–2026 City Manager’s Annual Report describes legislation, policies, finances, and projects affecting residents, businesses, employees, and visitors. Major initiatives include a $287 million water treatment plant, park and golf-course renovations, public safety facilities funded through voter-approved bonds, and updated impact-fee legislation required by September 2026. The City is monitoring state laws concerning special events, property taxes, development, climate planning, and revenues. It also reports $474,697 in federal CDBG funding, opioid-settlement funds proposed for mobile health services, and expanded online budget transparency through ClearGov. Policy changes address event permits, beach-dog enforcement, ethics compliance, procurement, resilience, and emergency operations. Overall, the report documents how local government is implementing state and voter-directed requirements while investing in infrastructure, services, accountability, and long-term resilience.26-1103: 2025-2026 LEADERSHIP AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGERBudgetProposed 2026–27 tax rates would generate about $137.8 million in total taxesFor fiscal year 2026–27, Delray Beach’s proposed tax legislation, Resolution No. 140-26, certifies millage rates to Palm Beach County’s property appraiser and tax collector. The preliminary disclosure lists a 6.4371 operating millage rate and 0.0289 debt-service rate. Based on taxable value of about $21.06 billion, proposed operating taxes are approximately $135.6 million; including dependent districts, total proposed taxes are about $137.8 million. The operating rate is above the rolled-back rate of 5.8555 but below the two-thirds-vote limit of 6.4411, requiring a two-thirds vote. The resolution is part of two required public hearings, with a second scheduled for September 22, 2026.26-1104: RESOLUTION NO. 140-26: GENERAL FUND OPERATING AND DEBT SERVICE PROPOSED MILLAGE RATESElectionsCommission considers recognizing September 17–23, 2026, as Constitution WeekThe City of Delray Beach is considering a proclamation recognizing September 17–23, 2026, as Constitution Week. The item, sponsored through the City Clerk and presented to the Mayor and City Commission, requests formal approval of the observance. The staff report connects Constitution Week with the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence and its stated principles of equality and unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If approved, the proclamation would formally acknowledge these constitutional and founding ideals but would not create new laws, regulations, funding, or legal obligations.26-1107: PROCLAMATION - CONSTITUTION WEEKBudgetDowntown district property tax rate proposed to fund development programsResolution No. 141-26 concerns Delray Beach’s Downtown Development Authority (DDA) millage for fiscal year 2026–27, beginning October 1, 2026. It proposes an operating rate of 1.0000 mill and no debt-service millage, applied to taxable property within the downtown district. State-required calculations show a rolled-back rate of 0.9469 mill and allow up to 1.0416 mills with a two-thirds vote; the proposed rate therefore requires a two-thirds vote of the governing body. Based on taxable value of approximately $2.277 billion, the levy is estimated at $2.277 million. The DDA budget anticipates about $2.21 million in total revenue and funds marketing, economic development, placemaking, grants, payroll, and operations. The resolution is the first of two required public hearings, with the second scheduled for September 22, 2026.26-1108: RESOLUTION NO. 141-26: DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY PROPOSED MILLAGE RATEBudgetProposed $720.4 million budget sets Delray Beach taxes and spending for 2026–27Resolution No. 142-26 proposes Delray Beach’s tentative budget for fiscal year 2026–27, running October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. It must be considered through two public hearings, with the first scheduled for September 8 and the second for September 22, 2026. The budget totals approximately $720.4 million, including estimated revenues, fund balances, expenditures, and reserves. It proposes a 6.3501-mill operating property-tax rate and a 0.0289-mill debt-service rate. Funding supports public safety, physical environment, culture and recreation, transportation, utilities, debt service, and capital projects across city funds. The resolution was approved by the City Attorney as legally sufficient and establishes the framework for city operations and spending during the coming fiscal year.26-1109: RESOLUTION NO. 142-26 ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR TENTATIVE BUDGET BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2026.City GovernmentCity Commission to recognize Beach Keepers for supporting Delray Beach’s coastThe document is a City of Delray Beach agenda item recognizing the “Beach Keepers.” Listed as File No. 26-1120 and Agenda Item 4.B., it is scheduled for consideration by the Mayor and City Commission on or around September 8–9, 2026. The item was submitted by City Clerk Alexis Givings through City Manager Terrence R. Moore. The provided materials identify the recognition but do not describe the Beach Keepers, specify any legislative action, or indicate legal, financial, or regulatory effects. Its significance is primarily ceremonial: it brings public attention to individuals or a group associated with maintaining or supporting Delray Beach’s coastal environment.26-1120: RECOGNITION - BEACH KEEPERSHealthCity reviews grant applications for opioid services, housing, jobs, and preventionDelray Beach’s City Commission is reviewing draft Requests for Applications (RFAs) that would allow outside organizations to seek settlement-funded grants. The proposed opioid funds include $135,000 for workforce and job assistance and $135,024.93 for affordable or supportive housing for people at risk of, or experiencing, opioid use disorder and related conditions. Separately, $947,566 in Caron Foundation settlement funds may support substance-abuse education and training, including programs for youth. The Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee suggested releasing $450,000 of Caron funds initially and limiting awards to $100,000 annually, potentially for up to three years. Commission feedback will guide revisions before advisory, legal, and final Commission approval.26-1129: UPDATE ON OPPORTUNITIES TO OUTSIDE AGENCIES FOR GRANTS FROM THE CARON fOUNDATION SETTLEMENT FUNDS AND OPIOID LITIGATION SETTLEMENT FUNDS.HousingHistoric board approves four property applications and recommends a lot-division waiverThe draft minutes document the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board’s August 5, 2026 meeting. The Board approved prior minutes and considered four quasi-judicial development matters under the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. It recommended waivers to divide property at 14 George Bush Boulevard in the Del-Ida Park Historic District. It approved a Certificate of Appropriateness and variance for work at 303 SE 7th Avenue, and approved demolition, a variance, and a waiver for a second-story guest cottage addition at 516 N. Swinton Avenue. It also approved exterior changes and a third-story addition at 160 Marine Way, despite two dissenting votes. No city-initiated legislative items were considered. The minutes also record public comments, recusals, permitting updates, and notice that some decisions would proceed to the City Commission.26-1131: August 5, 2026HousingVariance sought to place a residential pool 6 feet 1 inch from rear property lineThe document is a digitally signed engineering and pool construction plan for a residential property at 1109 Miramar Drive in Delray Beach, Florida. Prepared for Big Bear Developers, it depicts a proposed swimming pool and spa, covered patio, raised wall, steps, lighting, equipment, drainage features, and related improvements on portions of specified lots and parcels. The plans identify utility easements, dimensions, volumes, filtration and heating systems, and construction notes, including compliance with Florida, state, and local building codes. The project is dated January 6, 2026, with an associated civil drainage design dated February 10, 2025. It is not legislation; rather, it is a permit-related technical document that may support City review and approval of private construction.26-1132: 1109 Miramar Drive (PZ-000734-2026): Consideration of a variance request from Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.6.15(G)(1)(a), Swimming pool, whirlpools, and spas: Yard encroachment, to reduce the rear setback to six feet one inch, whereas a minimum setback of ten feet is required, associated with the construction of a swimming pool.

The proposal includes horizontal sliding and casement windows, with clear or privacy glass. City regulations require historic properties to retain defining features and ensure alterations are compatible in proportion, materials, appearance, and architectural style, consistent with federal rehabilitation standards and local design guidelines. Staff notes that replacement for storm protection or energy efficiency may be acceptable, but considers horizontal sliders modern, potentially commercial-looking, and inconsistent with the home’s historic character. The Board may continue, approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application.26-1133: Certificate of Appropriateness (HP-575-2026): Certificate of Appropriateness request for the replacement and installation of windows on a contributing single-family structure.

The Committee agreed to update policy so City employer contributions go to the 401(a), avoiding potential reductions in employees’ 457(b) contribution capacity under SECURE Act 2.0. It also approved loans from vested 401(a) balances under existing 457(b) rules and restored retirees’ ability to select specific investments for distributions. The plans held about $73.8 million as of March 31, 2026; 28 funds were acceptable and one was on a watchlist. The Committee also reviewed fiduciary compliance, fees, and pending federal retirement-plan developments.26-1135: Meeting MinutesLaborCity will place matching contributions in employees’ 401(a) accounts starting in 2027Effective January 1, 2027, Delray Beach will deposit its employer matching contribution into participating employees’ 401(a) accounts, even when employees make their matching contribution through the 457(b) plan. A 401(a) account will be established through Empower if needed. The change affects employees receiving the City match and is intended to preserve the separate IRS contribution limits for both plans, potentially allowing greater tax-advantaged retirement savings. Employees may continue contributing 1%, 2%, or 3% of compensation, subject to plan rules. 401(a) funds generally are unavailable until age 59½, while 457(b) funds may be accessible after leaving City employment. Employees should review elections and consider financial advice.26-1136: MemorandumCity GovernmentReview details retirement plan participation, assets, fees, and investment performanceThe document is a June 2026 administrative and investment review of the City of Delray Beach’s 457(b) deferred-compensation retirement plan, not legislation. It describes how the plan affects eligible city employees and former employees by providing tax-advantaged savings, investment choices, loans, managed accounts, and target-date funds. Of 593 eligible participants, 524 were contributing, an 88.36% participation rate. The plan held approximately $80.6 million, with an average balance of $98,840 and an average contribution rate of 7.49%. Its median projected retirement-income replacement score was 73.11%, based on hypothetical assumptions. The report also details fees, asset allocation, investment performance, participation by age and tenure, and loan activity. It matters for public oversight because it gives plan sponsors and participants information about retirement preparedness, use of benefits, and investment risks; results are not guarantees of future performance.26-1137: ReportCity GovernmentRetirement plan review outlines required and optional federal updates for City employeesThe document is a September 10, 2026 fiduciary investment review prepared for the City of Delray Beach. It is advisory material, not legislation, and addresses the City’s public-sector retirement plans. It explains that qualified plan sponsors generally must amend written plan documents by December 31, 2026, to reflect SECURE, SECURE 2.0, and CARES Act provisions. Changes may involve required minimum distribution ages, Roth catch-up rules, long-term part-time employee eligibility, overpayment protections, and automatic enrollment. Optional amendments include larger catch-up contributions, higher cash-out limits, Roth employer contributions, student-loan matching, hardship self-certification, and emergency withdrawals. The document also emphasizes fiduciary documentation, investment and fee monitoring, participant education, and retirement readiness.26-1138: ReportCity GovernmentInvestment review details $89 million in City employee retirement plan assetsThis document is not legislation; it is an investment due-diligence report for City of Delray Beach retirement plans as of June 30, 2026. It covers the 457(b), 401(a), and City Manager plans, identifying investment options, asset classes, balances, percentages, fees, historical returns, and risk/quality scores. The 457(b) plan held about $87.4 million, primarily in asset-allocation and U.S. equity funds. The 401(a) plan held about $1.86 million, while the City Manager plan held about $25,466, nearly all in a 2060 target-date fund. The report supports fiduciary oversight and participant information, but scores and past performance do not guarantee future results.26-1139: ReportBudgetRetirement plan report reviews $15.4 million portfolio and flags two fundsThis document is an investment due-diligence report for the City of Delray Beach’s retirement plan, not legislation. As of June 30, 2026, the plan held approximately $15.4 million. Investments were allocated among U.S. equities (47.5%), asset-allocation funds (23.6%), specialty investments (13.6%), international/global equities (7.3%), fixed income (6.9%), and cash alternatives (1.1%). The report evaluates available funds using performance, risk, fees, diversification, and qualitative scores. Two funds were flagged for monitoring: the Large Cap Growth Fund III and Victory Sycamore Established Value R6, each receiving a score of 6. The information supports plan fiduciaries’ oversight and investment-selection decisions, while noting that past performance does not guarantee future results.26-1140: ReportBudgetInvestment report reviews $5.81 million retirement plan and flags two funds for monitoringThe document is not legislation; it is an investment due-diligence report for a City of Delray Beach retirement plan. As of June 30, 2026, the plan held approximately $5.81 million. About 50.3% was invested in asset-allocation funds, 30% in cash alternatives, 7.4% in fixed income, 6.7% in U.S. equities, 3.8% in international/global equities, and 1.7% in specialty investments. The report evaluates fund performance, fees, risk, and management using scores, and identifies two funds for monitoring. It supports plan fiduciaries in selecting and reviewing investment options affecting participating city employees and retirees.
