Palm Beach County Reopens Short-Term Vacation Rentals

by

Palm Beach County Re-Opens for Short Term Rentals

Palm Beach County is reopening short-term vacation rentals, the last in South Florida to allow platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo to resume after a three-month shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Counties and cities in the region have started to reopen hotels, and Miami-Dade and Broward counties reopened short-term vacation rentals Monday.

Palm Beach County Vice Mayor Robert Weinroth on Wednesday announced the county’s short-term rentals are open.

“The tourism and hospitality industry is critical to the county’s recovery efforts, especially since these are small business operations.  With the recent opening of hotels, opening up these businesses was not only logical but a significant next step,” Weinroth said in a news release.

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which must sign off on county plans to reopen short-term vacation rentals, approved Palm Beach’s guidelines.

The county based its specifications for best practices and safety precautions on recommendations issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Washington-based trade group Vacation Rental Management Association and its nonprofit subsidiary Vacation Rental Housekeeping Professionals.

Public health and government officials as well as Florida vacation rental managers and operators also provided input.

Gov. Ron DeSantis banned vacation rentals March 27 and opened the door for these businesses to reopen with the approval of local governments and the state May 15.

Palm Beach is limiting reservations to U.S. travelers. There is a 30-day suspension starting Monday on reservations from travelers coming from COVID-19 hot spots declared by DeSantis.

Other precautions include keeping units vacant for at least  24 hours between guests and doing remote check-in and check-out when possible.

Hillsboro El Rio Park South

by

Hillsboro El Rio Park – Boca Raton

Boca Raton, the community that calls itself “A City within a Park,” just added its 47th recreation area to the roster of play sites within its borders.

The following Boca Times and Boca Tribune articleswere sources for the infomative post: One was posted pre Covid-19; the park has re-opened and people are again starting to enjoy one of the newest parks in the Boca Raton area.

On a cool morning that ping-ponged between showers and sunshine, a couple of hundred people made their way to opening ceremonies of the Hillsboro El Rio Park South, just across from Hillsboro El Rio North, a 12.5-acre facility which opened in 2002. Basically, the two fun sites are separated by SW 18th Street – and a lot of years.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 22 bought together a bunch of current and past officials, including Mayor Scott Singer, Deputy Mayor Jeremy Rodgers, City Council members Monica Mayotte, Andrea O’Rourke and Andy Thompson along with former Mayors Steven Abrams and Susan Whelchel and former deputy mayor and current Palm Beach County Commissioner Robert Weinroth.

Singer broke out to post a minute-long declaration on Facebook, announcing “the long-awaited playground,” a 10,000-square-foot location with a walking/jogging path, fitness station, playground, dedicated pickleball court, tennis courts, picnic pavilion, a soft launch area for canoes, kayaks and paddle boats into the El Rio Canal, along with parking and restroom facilities.

“For the many residents who have advocated for two decades for a park in the southeastern portion of Boca Raton, scattered showers couldn’t dampen their excitement at today’s official opening,” said Commissioner Weinroth.

Once home to the city’s landfill as far back as the 1960s, the area has recently seen infrastructure improvements, including a water main replacement along 18th Street followed by repaving of that road and upgrades to the railroad tracks that include quiet zone features to accommodate the new Brightline/VirginUSA trains.

City spokeswoman Anne Marie Connolly said the dedication included remarks from Recreation Services Director Michael Kalvort and the chairman of Parks and Recreation Board, Dr. Dennis Frisch. Then came the dedication of the Joe Good playground, named in honor of the late Parks & Rec. Board member who served for some 30 years. His family was there for the dedication.

“For the rest of the day, families met and chatted with city staff, enjoyed a nice walk around the new park, saw pickleball demonstrations and enjoyed all the park amenities,” said Connolly. “Special events also included bounce houses, face painting and food trucks.”

Following the ceremony, community events for residents took place, among them, pickleball demonstrations and children’s activities.

Development of Hillsboro El Rio Park South officially started in February 2019 after a renewed commitment was made to enhance activities at the City’s waterfront park sites.

Located on the south side of SW 18th St between Dixie Hwy and the El Rio Canal, the 14-acre site is the newest city park. The project cost approximately $7.8 million.

The revitalized park features the following:

  • Walking, jogging path with a fitness station
  • Playground
  • Basketball court
  • Pickeball courts
  • Sand volleyball court
  • Tennis courts
  • Picnic pavilions
  • A soft launch area for canoes, kayaks and paddle boards into the El Rio Canal
  • Parking and restroom facilities

Hillsboro El Rio Park North includes athletic fields and was opened to the public in 2002. Fire Station 8, which is situated on the NE section of the city-owned parcel, was dedicated in 2005.

Boca Raton Economic Development

by

Boca Raton Economic Development

Jessica Del Vecchio has helped businesses move to Boca, stay in Boca and expand in Boca.  The city’s economic development manager is part saleswoman part spokeswoman for selling the city of Boca Raton to the business sector.  The first to fill the role for the city, Del Vecchio is celebrating her fifth anniversary in the role this month.

“I love working for the city,” she said. “I am so invested in this city and I am so proud to work for this city.”

She has been part of major business wins for the city including: Modernizing Medicine adding over 800 jobs, keeping Cannon’s presence in Boca and helping OrangeTheory Fitness relocate its headquarters from Fort Lauderdale to Boca.   When she started in the role, she was a one woman office. Now, she has Kelly Kennedy, her economic development coordinator, making their entire operation a two-woman show.

In addition to working on keeping businesses in the city happy and attracting new businesses to the city, they produce a quarterly newsletter, share Boca business news on social media to their more than 40,000 followers, write a monthly column for the Boca Newspaper; and they do it all in house.  Five years ago, Del Vecchio said she began familiarizing herself with the business scene. She knew Office Depot’s global headquarters were in Boca along with ADT. She began walking what is now known as the Park at Broken Sound, taking pictures of the buildings and what tenants occupied them.  As she explored the business corridors of Boca, her list of Boca-based companies began to grow. So did her ideas of how to market Boca. Like creating a “Success Tour” where the mayor visits businesses and thanks them for their commitment to Boca.

“Boca sells itself,” Del Vecchio said. With amenities like beaches, golf courses and airport that statement makes sense, but Del Vecchio bundles the perks of Boca together and markets the city’s assets to CEOs across the country.

She does so with a full page ad in Waldorf Astoria’s publication that is distributed in hotels on four continents and 16 countries , in a commercial that aired during the Boca Raton Bowl and on the golf course at the Old Course at Broken Sound during the Boca Raton Championship.  And once she hooks a CEO into considering a corporate move to Boca, her work has only just begun.  Her office can create an incentive financial package to help lure the business to town if they agree to meet certain criteria that create more jobs for the city and increase economic development. The packages are created in partnership with state and county economic development entities.

Since 2010, the city has committed about $5.3 million to 43 companies, which has resulted in creating or retaining a total of more than 10,000 jobs in the city.  Some of those businesses include Yachtico adding 50 new jobs, MobileHelp adding 150 new jobs and Orbcomm adding 32 new jobs.

In the pipeline, the office has four projects in the works that will add a total of 197 jobs to the city. The largest one, “Project Doctor” will bring 75 news jobs. The companies are kept confidential.  The team can also offer concierge services like expedited permitting, a ground breaking ceremony and a ribbon cutting.

Behind the scenes, she has introduced CEOs to one another, set up meetings for the previous governor and worked with the state department to plan a consulate dinner for 24 guests at the Boca Resort.

New President of OZ Global Consultants

The newly named president of global consultants OZ Ric Cavieres said companies like Uber and Apple have conditioned consumers on what great service looks like.  Now, it is his job to make sure clients that OZ is serving are offering those same expectations that customers are accustomed to.

OZ works with clients in the hospitality, health care and financial service industries. The company uses technology to create ways to make the end user of their clients have an enjoyable experience.  The company is based in Fort Lauderdale and employs about 350 people in three locations, Florida, Argentina and Asia. It has been around since 1997 and recently went through a rebranding.  A recent project included building a suite of apps for a major cruise company to enhance the vacationer’s experience.  One function of the app streamlines the immigration process. Another allows a guest to order a drink from the pool deck on the app and a waiter knows exactly where to bring that drink when it’s ready. The app can unlock that guest’s cabin door and be used to turn on the television, open or close the curtains and adjust the thermostat. The app can be used to look up and book excursions once in port.

Overall, OZ is all about enhancing the customer’s experience through innovation.  Cavieres joined the team just 15 months ago and has already been promoted to president.  He started as EVP, Markets and Consulting. He came from Cognizant, a $16 billion global consulting and digital services company, where he was the Global Consulting and Digital Leader for Life Sciences. Previously, he was a Partner at the big 4 firms EY, PwC/IBM and Capgemini where he drove digital innovation, consulting and solutions.  He helped the company rebrand and shift its focus. Now, he said, OZ is poised to grow 50 percent in the next year.

“We are delighted that Ric has stepped into the role of President,” said Amjad Shamim, CEO of OZ. “He has been instrumental in the rebrand of OZ, this past year, and is a proven leader in driving digital innovation and CX consulting services across industries. Since leading the shift in focus, Ric has grown our client base, developed new strategic partnerships and helped expand our leadership team.”

And Cavieres has his eye on the future.  “It is really growing the company and doing impactful work,” he said. “We want to be on the edge of innovation and help our clients make an impact.”

Rex Baron – VRex Lounge

by

Rex Baron-VRex Virtual Realty Lounge

Looking to escape reality and spend time with the dinosaurs or pilot a plane? Head to Boca’s Boca’s Rex Baron restaurant and hi-tech VRex Lounge.

Located at Town Center Mall in the Nordstrom wing, the virtual reality lounge and post-apocalyptic dining experience are opened after some unanticipated delays.

The second outpost in the Rex Gryphon Restaurant Group concept opened to the public on Dec. 12 after a private VIP reception was held the night before.

The VIP party was attended by the Rex Gryphon Restaurant Group’s executive team and its newest member former NFL New York Giants running back and Dancing with the Stars winner Rashad Jennings.

The former football star, New York Times bestselling author and youth advocate is spending some his time developing and increasing awareness of the REX, Restaurant, Entertainment, Experience, Vigilante Post brand.

“Rashad was intrigued with the restaurant group’s positive message of rebuilding community as this is something he does each and every day through The Rashad Jennings Foundation,” shared hospitality industry veteran and lead developer of Rex Gryphon’s vigilante posts Michael Norris. ”We look forward to his valued contribution to Rex Gryphon where he will be focusing on both the brand’s healthy menu offerings and an increased alignment with charity causes.”

At the grand opening, Jennings told the Delray Newspaper that the chicken wings are the best he has ever tasted. He also shared that is gluten free and the menu items can accommodate many dietary restrictions.

Before food was served, guests were invited to experience flying a plane, driving a race car or painting like Picasso in the VRex Lounge. Exclusively outfitted by VRgineers based in Prague, the lounges will be the only public VR venues in the world offering XTAL, the world’s first VR headset with AutoEye and embedded

 Leap Motion with 5k resolution.

From there, folks entered the dining room where “the art of food meets the art of survival.

“To disrupt and excel in an ever-evolving industry, we have created and mastered the REX at our posts by offering a high quality, healthy and delicious menu with a storied, rustic, new world cross-generational atmosphere that engages and stimulates,” Norris said. “We look forward to sharing the REX with greater South Florida, its residents and businesses, and visitors, as it is an easy drive from Miami to Stuart.”
