of West Palm Beach (“City) and Pam Beach Photographic Centre, Inc (“Photographic Centre”), effective upon the City reimbursing the County $250,000 in grant funding by April 30, 2024. SUMMARY: On December 16, 2008, (R2008-2354) the County, City and Photographic Centre entered into an agreement for funding of the construction and design of the Palm Beach Photographic Centre (“Agreement”). The Agreement provided that $500,000 be provided from the County’s $50 Million 2003 Recreation and Cultural Facilities Bond and $500,000 be provided by the Photographic Centre. The Agreement required the Photographic Centre operate and maintain the Photographic Centre for its intended use by the general public for a term of thirty (30) years from the execution of the Agreement. A disagreement arose between the City and the Photographic Centre, whereby the City sought declaratory relief in connection with and rescission of the Lease where the Photographic Centre is located. During mediation the City and Photographic Centre entered into a Settlement Agreement on March 15, 2023. The Settlement Agreement required as a condition thereof, the County agree not to seek reimbursement of the $500,000 grant. The Photographic Centre has operated and maintained the Photographic Centre for use by the general public for 15 years, which is 50% of the Agreement’s thirty (30) year requirement, so staff is recommending the City repay the County $250,000 which is 50% of the grant funding. Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the Termination Agreement, which requires the City repay $250,000 of the grant funding to the County by April 30, 2024. District 2 (AH)
