ATTORNEY

motion to approve: payment to
attorney Frederick W. Ford, Esq., the sum of $60,000 for attorney’s fees and
costs relating to the case of Lee Ellen Dascott v. Palm Beach County,
Case No. 50 2002 13289AB. SUMMARY: Attorney Ford represented a former Palm
Beach County employee, Lee Ellen Dascott, who was terminated by the County in
2002, filed a lawsuit that year against the County. The employee alleged that the County violated
the Sunshine Act, §286.011, Florida Statutes, when it conducted a
pre-termination hearing of the employee without advertising the hearing and excluding
the employee and her attorney from the County’s deliberations at the conclusion
of the hearing. The trial court found
that the County did not violate the Sunshine Act, and the employee appealed to
the Fourth District Court of Appeals, who reversed the trial court on April 21,
2004, holding that the pretrial hearing was a public meeting under the Sunshine
Act. The Sunshine Act provides for court
awarded attorney’s fee and costs to a party who prevails in an action in
violation of the Act. Countywide (LSJ)

this, the LWDD will convey to the County a 25' strip along the north side of
the canal, and in exchange the County will convey to the LWDD a 25' strip along
the south side of the canal. Both strips
of property are 25' wide by 650' long and contain .38 acres. Both properties are being conveyed without
reservation of mineral rights.
Preapproval of this exchange by the Board was not obtained as this is an

SUMMARY: On March 14,
2006, the Board of County Commissioners delegated the authority to execute
Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance Agreements (Agreements)
to the County Administrator or his designee.
The County Administrator has delegated this approval to the Palm
Beach County Water Utilities Department
Director. These Agreements provide
property owners with the ability to donate funds to purchase emergency
generators for lift stations located within their community. The Department
will assign the community its generator(s), locate the generator(s) on-site
during hurricane season, and operate and maintain the generator(s) during
emergencies. By executing such
Agreements, the Department is able to expedite its goal of providing a higher
level of emergency response service throughout its service area. Power
outages that occur during hurricanes and other emergencies require the
Department to operate a system of emergency generators at wastewater pump
stations to prevent wastewater from backing up into streets, swales, and
residents’ homes. Due to the great
number of lift stations and limited staffing resources, the Department is not
able to place an emergency generator at every lift station. These Agreements will increase the number of
generators available to the Department during emergencies. Countywide (MJ)

(Number KMA 680 04162A) for the Multiple Option Dental program with Assurant
Employee Benefits for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
SUMMARY: At its October 19, 2004 regular meeting, the
Board of County Commissioners approved a multi-year contract for a voluntary
(employee pay-all), triple-option, fully insured dental insurance program with
Assurant Employee Benefits for plan years 2005 through 2008. The insurance program consisted of three (3) plans,
including a Managed Care Dental Plan, a Scheduled Reimbursement PPO, and a True
PPO. The contracted Managed Care Dental
Plan rates and co-payments were guaranteed for three (3) years, with one (1) option
to renew. The contracted PPO plans were
guaranteed for two (2) years, with two (2) options to renew. During renewal negotiations for plan year
2008, which is the fourth and final renewal option for the contract, Assurant
Employee Benefits presented an option to add an AOrtho Specialty Benefit Amendment@ to the Managed Care Dental Plan, which
would provide for an improvement to existing coverage for orthodontia
services. This improved coverage
involves specific co-payments for orthodontia services with plan specialists
who have contracted with the insurer to provide these co-payment driven
services. The plan currently in effect
provides a 25% discount for orthodontia services being rendered by network
specialists according to that specialist=s individual retail cost. The new coverage
will provide more enhanced and uniform orthodontia coverage from services
rendered by participating network specialists.

SUMMARY: Staff is recommending Board approval for the first annual option to renew
the Administrative Services Only Agreement with CIGNA for the period January 1
through December 31, 2008. For plan year
2008, following several months of higher than expected claims experience, it
will be necessary to pass on a 15% increase to employees with dependent
coverage. Additionally, staff is
recommending an individual monthly employee contribution, including CWA
bargaining unit employees (subject to ratification) of $10 to the individual
HMO tier of coverage. This has been fully paid by the Board in prior years. No benefit changes are being recommended. Staff is also recommending Board approval of
Clinical, Discount, and Performance Guarantee Agreements, which will set a
penalty amount for failure to meet negotiated performance targets, and will
make a measurable impact on CIGNA’s health plan accountability. As in prior years, employees of Solid Waste
Authority, Palm Tran, Inc. and the Supervisor of Elections will participate in
the group health insurance plan. The
total cost projected for all three (3) entities is $57,659,045. Sufficient

Annexation Charter Amendment Implementation Ordinance; providing for purpose;
providing for authority; providing for territory embraced; providing for notice
to County; providing for procedure in charter regarding voluntary annexation by
municipalities; providing for designation of unincorporated rural
neighborhoods; providing for applicability of state law; providing for
severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances;
providing for enforcement; providing for captions; and providing an effective
date. SUMMARY: The voters of Palm
Beach County approved the Annexation Charter Amendment in November 2004. On April 19, 2005, the Board of County
Commissioners adopted Ordinance 2005-006 to implement the charter
amendment. Subsequently, several
municipalities challenged the legality of the charter amendment and
implementing ordinance. Several
provisions in the implementing ordinance were stricken by the circuit court in
an order dated June 6, 2005 that was upheld by the Fourth District Court of
Appeal in November 2006. The Florida Supreme Court denied review of the case in
March 2007. This Ordinance repeals
Ordinance 2005-006 in its entirety and replaces it with a new ordinance
establishing notice for procedures for all voluntary annexations and
designating an Unincorporated Protection Area and Unincorporated Rural
Neighborhoods. County staff presented
the proposed ordinance to the League of Cities on January 10, 2007 and August
8, 2007. In response to concerns raised by the
League, Subsection 5(3) of the Ordinance has been revised to state that the
provisions of this section may
be the basis for a cause of action invalidating the voluntary annexation. On

Florida, establishing a Community Development District over real property
legally described on Exhibit “A” to this Ordinance comprising of approximately
86 acres; naming the initial members of the board of supervisors of the
district; establishing the name of the district as Osprey Oaks Community Development
District; designating the purpose of the district; designating the powers of
the district; providing for severability; providing for repeal of laws in
conflict; and providing for an effective date.
SUMMARY: The Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) has been petitioned to grant the establishment of
the Osprey Oaks Community Development District (CDD) to finance and construct
services for a master planned residential development district. After reviewing the petition, the Planning
Division has found the petition to be sufficient in that it is consistent with
the statutory requirements, has met the disclosure requirements and is limited
to onsite improvements. However, staff
is concerned (as explained in detail on Page 2 of the staff report under item
C.2) with this petition due to a potential financial burden on both the owners
and renters of the 37 workforce housing units resulting from the operation and
maintenance fees associated with the creation of the CDD in addition to the
Home Owners Association (HOA) fees. Staff is therefore recommending denial of
the petition. The District will consist of 171 single family detached units and
37 multi-family units to be located on the west side of Jog Road and south of Hypoluxo
Road, and lies wholly within the boundaries of the unincorporated Palm Beach
County. Thirty-seven (37) units in the proposed development have been
identified to be sold, or rented as Required Workforce Housing Units. The CDD
is being processed in conjunction with the Osprey Oaks Planned Unit Development
(PUD) that was approved by the BCC on May 25, 2006. The proposed District will
provide potable water, sanitary and sewer, storm water management systems and
facilities, and will operate and maintain the Storm Water Management System. The ownership and maintenance of potable water

County staff in order to more completely incorporate taxpayer’s input during
the early stages of the FY 2008/2009 budget process; and
B) Staff providing a program level budget review process for the Board
after the public input is received.
SUMMARY: In preparation for
the FY 2008/2009 budget process, it is proposed that Palm Beach County host a
series of public budget forums in to be held in separate regions of the County
to obtain public comments and suggestions early in the budget process. The forums will be scheduled during a

Attendees of the forums will be encouraged to
complete a survey that will serve as a mechanism for taxpayers to voice their
opinion and specific areas of concern on how budget dollars should be spent.
The results will be compiled and included in a report to be presented at a

2. Staff recommends motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution for the Chairperson’s certification to the Division of Elections that, based upon the recommendation of the Supervisor of Elections, the procurement of optical scan based voting equipment from Sequoia Voting Systems, Inc. (“Sequoia”) is a sole source; and
B) approve negotiation between staff and Sequoia for the purchase of the optical scan based voting equipment.
SUMMARY: In 2007, the Florida Legislature passed a law prohibiting touch screen voting equipment and mandating the use of optical scan based voting systems effective July 1, 2008. Also, pursuant to law, Counties may only purchase voting systems that have been certified for use by the State of Florida. At this time, there are only three (3) voting systems that have been certified for use by the State of Florida, one of which is Sequoia. Currently, the County owns a voting system, inclusive of tabulation equipment, components, etc., that was manufactured by and procured from Sequoia. Sequoia’s optical scan based voting equipment has also been certified by the State of Florida. Based upon the Sequoia optical scanners being the only ones compatible with the County’s existing voting system, and based upon the attached justification from the Supervisor of Elections, staff recommends the purchase of the optical scan based voting equipment from Sequoia on a sole source basis.

A) Employee Interchange Agreement (EIA) with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) in an amount not-to-exceed $377,000 to fund a COE staff position dedicated to reviewing County permit applications through September 30, 2009;
B) Budget Transfer of $150,800 in the Transportation Improvement Fund from Road Program Sweep Reserves to EIA with the COE of behalf of Engineering and Public Works Department; and
C) Waiver of advance payment prohibition cited in County Policy and Procedure Memorandum No. CW-F-049 for this Agreement.
Summary: Federal
regulations require that the COE review, approve and permit certain projects
constructed by County departments: Airports, Engineering & Public Works,
Environmental Resources Management, Facilities Development & Operations,
and Water Utilities. Permitting delays
caused by insufficient COE staffing negatively impact County operations,
schedules and construction costs. The
listed departments will jointly fund a senior level COE reviewer dedicated to
County projects to expedite the permitting process. The South Florida Water
Management District (District) and the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) approved a similar agreement to fund permit review positions at the
COE. The County is required to advance
each year’s estimated salary and travel cost.
Typically, an advance is not authorized by County contracts. However, staff is seeking a Board waiver of this
policy because these permitting services are deemed necessary for County
business, and the Agreement mitigates risk of loss by requiring periodic
reconciliations. The EIA may be renewed
annually. Countywide (SF)
