                     1.       Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 001 to an agreement (R2005-1883) with the City of Pahokee, to extend the expiration date from September 30, 2006 to July 31, 2007, for the expenditure of $105,395 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. SUMMARY: The Amendment provides an extension of ten (10) months to the term of the existing Agreement for the construction of sanitary sewer lines in the Canal Point area. The time extension is requested to make up for time lost while evaluating whether to use a low pressure system or a gravity flow system, and while additional easements were obtained for the project. A low pressure system was selected. These are Federal funds that require no local match. District 6 (TKF)


 

                     2.       Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 001 to an agreement (R2006-0354) with the City of Lake Worth to: a) increase the funding amount from $170,325 to $244,035 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds; and b) extend the expiration date from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. SUMMARY: The Amendment provides a one (1) year extension to the term of the existing agreement for the construction of street improvements on Latona Avenue in City of Lake Worth. The work will include installation of bulb outs, speed slowdown crosswalks, streetlights, trees and sidewalks. The start of this project was delayed while a decision was being made to reallocate funds from this project to the City’s Howard Park lighting project. The time extension will provide the City one (1) year to complete the engineering design, bid the work, and construct the improvements. This Amendment also reduces the City’s FY 2005 - 2006 allocation of $170,325 for this project by $123,930 (which is being reallocated to the Howard Park project), and adds the City’s FY 2006 - 2007 allocation of $197,640 for a total project budget of $244,035.

SUMMARY: The Amendment provides an extension of nine (9) months to the term of the existing agreement for the construction of street improvements on Wingfield Street and Washington Avenue in the City of Lake Worth. The work includes installation of streetscaping, bulb outs, speed humps, traffic circles, street lights and landscaping. This time extension is requested because the project was halted while the City consulted with area residents, and while a change order was negotiated and signed with the contractor. These are Federal funds that require no local match. District 7 (TKF)


 

                     4.       Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 003 to an agreement (R2004-1443) with the City of Lake Worth to: a) extend the expiration date from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007; and b) increase the amount funded under the agreement from $81,070 to $205,000, in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

                     4.       Staff recommends motion to approve: a Memorandum of Agreement with Lake Worth Drainage District and the South Florida Water Management District addressing diversion and impoundment of water in the southwestern Boca Raton area. SUMMARY: This Memorandum of Agreement authorizes the Department to divert excess surface water from canals into lakes in southwest Boca. Existing lakes located within several communities bordering the Department’s System 9 wellfield have experienced severely low lake levels over the past few years. Working with the South Florida Water Management District and Lake Worth Drainage District, the Department developed a strategy to address the lake levels. Water will be diverted from the Hillsboro Canal via the E-1W South Canal and then stored within the existing lakes. All parties agree the Department’s use of this water is consistent with LWDD’s Diversion and Impoundment Permit No. 50-00793-W issued by SFWMD. (WUD Project No. 04-218) District 5 (MJ)

 

 

                     5.       Staff recommends motion to approve: First Amendment to the Palm Beach County/Beeline Community Development District Water and Wastewater Utility Acquisition, Service, and Service Area Agreement. SUMMARY: On February 15, 2005, the County entered into an agreement (R2005-0366) with the Beeline Community Development District (District) to acquire the District’s exclusive utility service area, utility system assets (exclusive of the District’s potable water and wastewater plants which will be decommissioned), customer base, and service area. This agreement established a closing date of September 30, 2006, to allow for the construction of off-site pipelines from the County’s Mecca property to the District. Pipeline construction delays resulting from a court-ordered stay of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection permit have necessitated an amendment to extend the closing date to on or before September 30, 2007. In addition, the District’s allowance to purchase up to 1,000 additional potable water and/or wastewater Equivalent Residential Connections (ERC’s) has been extended to up to 10 years from the closing. The cost to the District of $3,800,000 for the pro-rata cost to install off-site pipelines has not changed, and remains due at closing. However, due to a revision to the number and sizes of meters required by the District, the District will pay the County the increased amount of $1,727,290.50 in standard Connection Fees and Guaranteed Revenue Fees to serve existing customers pursuant to the Water Utilities Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual (UPAP). Existing and future County customers in the District service area will pay the standard uniform County utility rates and fees in accordance with the UPAP. District 1 (MJ)

          L.       ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

 

                     1.       Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution in support of the Legislature of the State of Florida (the Legislature) creating and permanently funding a similarly-designed successor program to the “Florida Forever Program”, which is scheduled to expire in the year 2010. SUMMARY: The Florida Forever Program, developed by the State of Florida to continue the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands initiated in the Preservation 2000 (P-2000) Program, is scheduled to be concluded by 2010. In order to continue the vitally important work of preserving the State’s remaining environmentally sensitive lands, the Legislature may consider the establishment of a new land and water conservation program as a successor to Florida Forever Program. Palm Beach County has received over $61 million in state matching funds from the P-2000 and Florida Forever Programs to assist in its land acquisition efforts, but has received no state funds for the management of these lands. The County anticipates applying for and receiving additional state funds for land acquisition during the remaining years of Florida Forever. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the County and its citizens for the County to support a new land and water conservation program similar to the Florida Forever Program that will include additional dollars to account for the increased land values in the State and will provide management funds for conservation lands currently managed by the County and conservation lands anticipated to be acquired in the future.

(ATM) in the amount of $211,260.57 to provide professional coastal engineering design and permitting services in support of the beach renourishment project for Juno Beach. SUMMARY: The BCC approved the Contract with ATM on April 18, 2006. One (1) Task Order totaling $62,897 has been issued under the Contract. Task Order No. 0688-02 authorizes ATM to design and permit the upcoming Juno Beach renourishment.

A) approve Grant Agreement No. 06PB2 with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for cost-sharing on the Singer Island Shore Protection Project up to $270,431 through June 1, 2008;

 

B) approve Budget Amendment of $270,431 in the Beach Improvement Fund; and

 

C) authorize the County Administrator, or his designee, to sign all future time extensions, task assignments, certifications, and other forms associated with this Agreement, and necessary minor amendments that do not change the scope of work or terms and conditions of the Agreement.

 

SUMMARY: The Florida Legislature authorized funding through the FDEP to provide assistance to eligible governmental entities for beach erosion control activities under the Florida Beach Management Funding Assistance Program. The County must provide an executed Agreement to FDEP by January 20, 2007 or the funding reverts to the State General Fund. This Agreement authorizes FDEP to reimburse the County up to $270,431 for design and permitting costs on the Singer Island Shore Protection Project.

                     5.       Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) for a pilot project allowing the SWA to excavate and remove approximately 200,000 cubic yards of sand from the County’s Winding Waters Natural Area to be trucked to the SWA facility on Jog Road for purposes of landfill cover or other associated activities in return for the SWA creating wetlands and lake contours, designed by the Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) for the Winding Waters Natural Area, as part of their excavation work. SUMMARY: The Agreement will allow ERM to construct and restore former wetlands at the Winding Waters Natural Area at a much reduced cost. The cost of the excavation work will be borne by the SWA. In return, the SWA will receive needed land cover fill at a reduced cost to the SWA because the trucking charges for the excavated material will be much less than those associated with other sources of material. The Winding Waters Natural Area is located on the east side of the Florida Turnpike immediately opposite the SWA facility. This pilot project is meant to determine the economic and logistical viability of future excavation work to be conducted at the Winding Waters Natural Area. If this project meets or exceeds staff expectations, then deeper lakes and more extensive wetlands could be created on the natural area at a great savings to both the County’s Natural Areas Program and to the SWA’s landfill-cover material needs.

6.       REGULAR AGENDA

 

 

          B.       RISK MANAGEMENT

 

                     1,       Staff recommends motion to approve: a Third Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with Solid Waste Authority and Palm Tran, Inc. (R2002-2287) adding the Supervisor of Elections as a party to the Agreement assuming all the rights and responsibilities as a participant in the self-insured group health benefits program established through Interlocal Agreement R2002- 2287. SUMMARY: Employees of the Supervisor of Elections have been paid through the Palm Beach County payroll system until December 31, 2006, and have been included as employees under the Palm Beach County benefit programs until that time. The Supervisor of Elections has determined that it will become independent from the Palm Beach County payroll system as of January 1, 2007, but would like to maintain the same health insurance benefits for the 49 full-time Supervisor of Elections’ employees. It is, therefore, necessary to amend the Interlocal Agreement to add the Supervisor of Elections as a party. Countywide (TKF)

 

 

          C.       FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

                     1.       Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 4 to the Lease Agreement (R2002-1978) with the South Florida Science Museum, Inc. located adjacent to Lake Lytal Park. SUMMARY: On November 12, 2002, the Board approved a lease agreement with the South Florida Science Museum for the lease of approximately 11 acres of undeveloped property on the west side of Lake Lytal Park for the construction of a new science museum. The agreement has been amended three (3) previous times. In March 2005, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the lease agreement to modify the final fund raising milestone to December 21, 2007. In January 2006, the Board approved Amendment No. 3 to modify the interim fund raising milestones. Earlier this month, staff received a request to: 1) again modify the interim fund raising milestones for 2006 and 2007; 2) extend the final fund raising milestone to December 31, 2009; 3) increase the final fund raising total to $54,800,000; and 4) change the date construction is required to commence from November 2007 to April 2008. This request is the first time the Museum has asked to delay the start of construction. Failing to start construction by November 2007 would constitute a default on the current lease, so changing the start date requires a change to default provision of the lease. Based on these revisions, the Museum would open in April 2010. To date, the Museum has raised $21,655,144. The Museum has hired a fund-raising consultant and a public relations firm to assist with the fund-raising campaign. (FDO Admin) Countywide/District 2 (HJF)

29                 6C-2             ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: a First Amendment to Property Exchange Agreement with Yamato Court LLC. SUMMARY: In 2005, the Board approved a Property Exchange Agreement with Yamato Court LLC (R2005-0371), whereby the County agreed to sell/exchange approximately 20 acres of surplus property located at the southeast corner of Yamato Road and State Road 7/U.S. 441 for $4,750,000 and purchase/exchange a drainage easement located along Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach for $250,000 in cash. Yamato Court conveyed the drainage easement to the County on June 15, 2005. Completion of the exchange of the County’s property was contingent on Yamato Court obtaining land use and zoning approvals for its proposed mixed use planned development (MUPD). On June 22, 2006, the Board approved Yamato Court’s Site Plan with a condition that the County retain an additional 2.85 acres for continued operation of a 6.10 acre community park. This First Amendment: a) reduces the acreage to be conveyed by 2.85 acres to 17.01acres; b) provides for deletion of the requirement that the Solomon Schechter Day School be included within Yamato Court’s planned development, but requiring that a similar non-profit organization be included in the development in the future (currently negotiating with Temple Beth El); c) extends the closing date to occur within sixty (60) days after approval of this First Amendment; and d) allows Yamato Court to assign its rights under the contract as to a 1.79- acre portion of the property to JARC. The legal description of the property and the form of the County Deed are also revised to correct technical errors, reflect the reduction in acreage and to provide for the County’s reservation of drainage, access and utility easements to service the 1.8 acre parcel being retained by WUD for continued operation of its wastewater pumping facility. All other terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, including cash payable to the County, remain unchanged. (PREM) District 5 (HJF) (Facilities Development & Operations)
