This project was bid in mid 2007 when the bidding environment had unprecedented escalation for the past three years. As a result, contractors were fearful of further price increases and were including substantial escalation and contingency factors in their prices. Fortunately, prices stabilized in late 2007 and 2008 resulting in savings returned to the County. Change Order No. 7 will allow for the closeout of this contract.

1. Staff recommends motion to receive and file: one (1) Agreement for Emergency Generator
Purchase, Operation and Maintenance with The Club at Indian Lakes Homeowners’
Association, Inc. 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 fund the purchase of
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. District 5 (MJ)

hospital, Bethesda is required to construct certain water main and wastewater
main extensions within Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
right-of-ways. Following completion of construction, ownership of the mains
will be transferred to the County. Even
though construction will be performed by Bethesda and its contractors, FDOT
requires that the construction permits be issued in the County’s name. Under the terms of the Agreement, Bethesda
agrees to indemnify and hold the County harmless against any costs, losses or

SUMMARY: A developer initiating and funding a utility
construction project may require utility permits from agencies who identify the
County as the “Permittee”. Even though
construction will be performed by the developer and its contractors, the
permitting agency requires that the construction permits be issued in the
County’s name. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the developer agrees to indemnify and hold the County harmless
against any costs, losses or claims that might arise out of or are attributable
to any and all acts and omissions by the developer or its contractors arising
as a result of the construction. The Standard
Indemnity Agreement for Permits, will be utilized in future situations where
the County is required to pull permits for construction within right-of ways
where construction is to be performed by parties other than the County and its
contractors. Following completion of construction, ownership of the utility

Staff recommends motion to approve: a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for implementation of the Gateway Community Program of the Florida Trail Association (FTA) in Palm Beach County (County) through activities, events and programs for residents and visitors. SUMMARY: The FTA is a non-profit organization whose mission is dedicated to building, maintaining, promoting and protecting over 1,500 miles of hiking trail throughout the State of Florida, referred to as the “Florida National Scenic Trail”. Just over 80 miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail exists in Palm Beach County. The FTA has established the “Gateway Community Program” to recognize a mutually beneficial partnership with government agencies, local businesses, convention and visitors bureaus, and tourist development councils that help provide resources, educate, support and promote trail use through activities, events, facilities and programs that attract usage of the trail by both residents and visitors alike. On April 20, 2010, the Board adopted a Resolution (R2010-0637) in support of the “Gateway Community Program”. That Resolution called for the establishment of a MOU between the County and the FTA setting out the responsibilities of each of the parties to implement the “Gateway Community Program”. This item is to approve that MOU. The MOU sets forth the responsibilities of the FTA, the Tourist Development Council (TDC), the Parks and Recreation Department, and the Department of Environmental Resources Management to integrate the Program objectives, events and activities into the educational and recreational agenda of the County.

AA. PALM TRAN
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Budget Amendment in the Palm Tran Grant Fund
establishing a revenue and expense budget to record the revenue of $38,184 generated
by the sale of surplus equipment acquired with federal funds. Summary: Federal regulations mandate that the
funding agency be reimbursed for their share in the cost of any equipment that
after completing its useful life, generates sales revenue of over $5,000. To
date $38,184 has been collected from the sale of surplus equipment that was
funded with federal grants. This amount
only reflects those items that have been sold separately for over $5,000. With
the approval of the funding agency, these funds can be held to offset the cost
of a subsequent federal funded capital purchase. Palm Tran is expected to dispose of over 45
buses in the next two (2) years. The creation of a separate unit will allow for
clear accounting records of sales proceeds from surplus equipment. The balance
of this unit will be amended each time assets are disposed of generating revenue

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the original August 17, 2010 recommendation to select the Transit Village proposal
for the “wedge” property conditioned on satisfactory results from a traffic
study and negotiation of a development agreement, or provide alternative
direction including: 1) reject the
proposal and terminate the RFP process, or 2) give Transit Village time to try to arrange/pay for required
pre-selection study(s). SUMMARY: On August 17, the Board considered Staff’s
recommendation to select the proposal submitted by Transit Village LLC. The Board indicated its desire to have
traffic and market studies performed up front by the County prior to selection,
and directed Staff to inquire of the City/CRA whether they would be willing to
pay for the studies. The City/CRA
responded that they are not willing to fund these studies, as they normally
require the private sector proposers to fund them. Multiple owners of adjacent properties have
now expressed concerns regarding the effect of this proposed development upon
the depressed office building market and traffic impacts on Clearwater
Drive. Staff does not think that a market
study will provide definitive answers that can be relied on in making this
determination. Details of land cost, estimated present value and equivalent
compensation to be paid by Transit Village is provided in the September 2, 2010

years;
B) a Waiver of the prohibited contractual
relationship with E. Llwyd Ecclestone, Jr., who controls the management of
Regions Financial Tower and is a member of the County’s Aviation and Airports
Advisory Board; and
C) a Waiver of the prohibited contractual
relationship with E. Llwyd Ecclestone, III, who holds a 25% interest in Regions
Financial Tower and is an advisory board member of the County’s Impact Fee
Review Committee.
SUMMARY: Since 1992, the County has leased office
space on behalf of TDC in the Regions Financial Tower on Palm Beach Lakes
Boulevard in West Palm Beach. The
current Lease expires July 31, 2011.
This Amendment Number Two: reduces the leased premises by 3,885 square
feet effective as of October 1; extends the term for three (3) years until July
31, 2014; reduces the rent payable during the extension from $32.80/sf to
$24.54/sf; eliminates annual rental increases and reduces the per space charge
for reserved parking spaces during the extension from $28.46 to $20. The
extension of this Lease will provide additional time to develop and implement a
program to relocate TDC into County-owned space. Section 2-443(c) of the Code
of Ethics prohibits contractual relationships between the County and an
advisory board member or the advisory board member’s outside employer or
business. Section 2-443(d) provides that
the prohibited relationship may be waived upon the affirmative vote of five (5)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Fourth annual option to renew the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Only Agreement (R2006-2287; dated October 17, 2006) with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CIGNA) for claims administration services for the County’s self-funded triple option (HMO, POS, PPO) health insurance plan for the period January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011;
B) CIGNA’s proposed administrative fees and specific stop loss premiums and risk retention level for plan year 2011; and
C) Changes to certain copayments and rate contributions paid by employees and their eligible dependents for plan year 2011.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends Board approval for
the fourth annual option to renew the Administrative Services Only Agreement
with CIGNA for the period January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011. For
plan year 2011, projected Board premiums for the
County’s self-funded health plans reflect an increase in employee cost sharing
for both plan copayments and monthly premiums. The recommended employee cost
sharing increases, estimated to total approximately $7,000,000 for the 2011
plan year, are necessary to offset the increasing cost of the health plans and
to meet the Board’s budgetary objectives. The total plan cost projected
for 2011 is $61,357,242, a $1,504,901 increase over the projected cost for the
expiring plan year. Included within this amount is $2,779,124 in administrative
and stop-loss insurance costs for the renewing contract with CIGNA. The
increase in employee cost sharing, coupled with a fund balance accumulation due
to less than expected claims experience in prior plan years, will negate a need
to increase the Board’s level of funding for coming year. Eligible employees of
Palm Tran, Inc. and the Supervisor of Elections will continue to participate in
the health insurance plans along with the eligible employees of the Palm Beach
County Board of County Commissioners. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to
fund the program. Countywide (TKF)

first and second mortgage for $70,000 and a forgivable second mortgage for
$80,000 for a total funding amount of $150,000 to Natasha Jean-Louis a County
employee. SUMMARY: Natasha
Jean-Louis is a very low income unmarried female who has been employed with
Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation as a secretary for seven (7) years. She is now seeking to purchase a home in the
amount of $123,000. The home is located
at 426 La Mancha Avenue, Royal Palm Beach, Florida 33411. The home contains 1,617 square feet with three
(3) bedrooms and two (3.1) baths. Total cost for this residential purchase and
repair is $152,708.67.
The appraised “as is” value is $150,000. The value after rehab will be
$185,000. This amount includes the purchase price of $123,000; repair costs of
$26,050; and closing costs of $3,658.67. The total applicant contribution is
$2,708.67 which includes mandatory 1% down payment of $1,230. Palm Beach County
will provide a first mortgage loan of $70,000 for 30 years at four percent (4%)
interest, a second mortgage of $80,000.
The second mortgage requires no repayment if Ms. Jean Louis lives in the
home as her principal place of residence for 30 years. These are federal funds which require no local match. District 6
