                        2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between Palm Beach County and the Solid Waste Authority for the provision of Inspector General services at the Authority for a term ending September 30, 2013. SUMMARY: The Inspector General (IG) will exercise the authority, functions and powers granted by the Inspector General Ordinance for the Solid Waste Authority.  The Authority will pay the County $250,000 for FY ’11 with funding for future years to be based upon the IG’s previous years’ activities under the Agreement. The parties will amend the ILA to provide for a separate scope of work and additional budget for Authority contracts in excess of $25,000,000. Countywide (MC)

 

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Contract for Consulting/Professional Services with the Palm Beach County Black Business Investment Corporation (BBIC) in the amount of $54,000 from October 1, 2010, to September 30, 2011.  SUMMARY:  The major objectives of the BBIC are to develop existing businesses, support the formation of new businesses, and to foster increased employment and social stability within the black community.  This Contract with the BBIC will provide for operational expenses necessary to provide consulting and financial assistance to existing and start-up small businesses in Palm Beach County. The scope of services outlined for FY 2011 include: obtaining four (4) business loan approvals from banking/financial institutions in the amount of $500,000, serving 270 clients, and creating/retaining 25 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs. Funding is included in the 2011 budget. This $54,000 Contract is reduced from last year’s level of $60,000. Countywide (DW)

 

 

4.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida supporting the full funding of the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants by President Obama and Congress in FY 2012. SUMMARY: Funded in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants are empowering thousands of cities and counties to create new clean energy jobs through investments in building efficiency, community scale renewable energy, and other projects that save energy. The grant program will end in 2011 without action by the Obama Administration and Congress. Palm Beach County staff fully supports the Energy Block Grants Work campaign and will work to demonstrate to the White House, U.S. Department of Energy and Congress that we are effectively using our Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) to decrease energy use, curb greenhouse gas emissions, and create jobs.  The retrofits funded by the EECBG program are expected to create and retain a total of 143 jobs, achieving energy savings of 20%. No County matching funds are required to complete this project. Countywide (DW)

3.         CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

 

A.        ADMINISTRATION (Cont’d)

 

                        5.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) a waiver of prohibited relationship pursuant to Palm Beach County Code of Ethics, Article XIII, the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics for Kelly Smallridge of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc., a member of the Overall Economic Development Program Committee;

 

B) Amendment No. 4 to the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc., Five-Year Agreement (R2006-1998) in the amount of $931,470 for the remaining year of the Agreement from October 1, 2010, to September 30, 2011; and

 

C) a modification of the Scope of Services for FY 2011. 

 

SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners entered into an Agreement with the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. to provide business recruitment assistance, business retention activities and business expansion services in Palm Beach County (PBC). PBC and the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. entered into a public-private partnership to promote the County, attract new businesses and assist in creating new industries in the County. A prohibited relationship waiver is being recommended for Kelly Smallridge, President for the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. who serves on the Overall Economic Development Program Committee. The individual has disclosed this relationship and is requesting a waiver pursuant to Section 2-443(d) of the Code of Ethics. The waiver is being recommended based on a staff determination that the execution of this contract will not create a conflict of interest with the continued service of the individual on the advisory board. The Agreement period is from October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2011 and it is in the fifth year of the term. Countywide (DW)

 

 

6.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with the Lester Family Investment L.P., Richard Thall, Robert Thall, Peter L. Briger, Paul H. Briger and the David Minkin Florida Realty Trust.  SUMMARY:  On November 6, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners approved Agreement (R2007-1888) to jointly fund professional services related to a joint application for a Development of Regional Impact, Future Land Use Amendment, Concurrency Approval, Planned Community Development and a Conceptual Environmental Resource Permit for the 683 acre Briger Site, including 70 acres for Scripps (1.6 Million SF) and 100 acres for 2.4 Million SF of Bioscience use, in the amount of $716,662.  Amendment No. 1 provides for an additional $750,868 in additional services. In accordance with the Agreement, $510,590 (68%) will be paid for by the Lesters and $240,278 will be paid for by the County. The additional costs are partially attributable to petitions being filed challenging the State’s intent to find the City of Palm Beach Gardens Comprehensive Plan Amendment in compliance and the issuance of the South Florida Water Management Environmental Resource Permit.  This Amendment also incorporates the Inspector General Language pursuant to Ordinance No. 2009-049. Funds for the Amendment will come from the County’s 2007 $6.5 Million Bond Issuance for Scripps on Briger. Countywide (RPB)

                        7.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) Budget Transfer of $162,228 from the Community Services Department to the Information Systems Services (ISS) Department to implement a transfer of information technology support staff; and

The budget transfer represents the costs of salaries and fringe benefits with a retroactive effective date of October 1, 2010. Under this reorganization, ISS will assume responsibility for providing IT services, including help desk, desktop support, and server support, to the Community Services Department.  The centralization and consolidation of IT services in this manner is expected to reduce overall costs while maintaining or improving the quality of services.

SUMMARY: The proposed Amendment will allow for the funding of three (3) non-profit organizations and the Economic Development Office to provide assistance and support services for the development of microenterprises.  The individual organizations include: The Center for Technology, Enterprise and Development (TED Center), Inc.

5.         REGULAR AGENDA

 

 

            A.        ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: Resolution providing approval authority to the County Administrator and Deputy County Administrator for advisory board member travel. Summary: Periodically, advisory board members are required to attend various training, conferences and/ or meetings. This requirement is typically associated with federal and state grant programs such as Head Start and Community Action housed in the Community Services Department. Current County policy requires approval of the Board of County Commissioners for this type of travel. The extensive lead time to obtain Board of County Commissioners approval makes it difficult to take advantage of low cost non-refundable air fares. It requires additional time and expense in the processing of a board item, and makes adjustments to travel plans difficult and cumbersome.  Staff recommends assignment of authority for pre-authorized advisory board member travel to the County Administrator and Deputy County Administrator to ensure that the travel arrangements can be completed in a timely and cost efficient manner.  Countywide (TKF)

Summary: The Division of Senior Services receives Federal and State grant funds annually through agreements or contracts with the AAA.  These contracts are adjusted periodically to align budgetary priorities and to adjust grant amounts when unused federal funds become available for distribution. Delegating signatory authority to the County Administrator or his designee on agreement/contract amendments within the defined threshold would facilitate the spending of funds in a timely manner in compliance with the grant mandates.  The authority would allow for reallocation of funding for not more than 10 percent of the contracted amount or $150,000, whichever is greater, based on the recommendations of Division of Senior Services staff. Agreements/Contract amendments signed by the County Administrator or his designee will be brought before the Board of County Commissioners as receive and file documents in accordance with PPM CW-O-051.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: 

 

A) an Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Lake Park (Town) for funding in the amount of $2.4M to acquire land for expansion of boat trailer parking at the Lake Park Marina; and

 

B) a Budget Transfer of $2.4M within the $50M GO 05 Waterfront Access Bond Reserve ($740,000); Light Harbor Marina ($660,000) and Bert Winters Park Boat Ramp Expansion ($1,000,000) to Lake Park Marina.

 

SUMMARY: In January of 2009, the Board reviewed a request by the Town for funding support of a planned expansion of the Town’s Marina.  The Board directed Staff to identify $2.4M in funding which could be made available for the project.  As currently proposed, the project includes the Town acquiring approximately .8 acres of land at the N.E. corner of Silver Beach Road/Lakeshore Drive and U.S.-1.  This property will be used by the Town to expand the Town’s existing boat trailer parking lot to provide an additional 30 boat trailer and 16 standard vehicle parking spaces.  Future phases of the project will include closing Lake Shore Drive and constructing a pedestrian promenade between the Marina and the properties along the west side of the existing Lake Shore Drive, as well as private sector development of a restaurant.  The Town will be making a presentation on the full scope of the project.  Parks and Recreation has identified $2.4M in funding from the Waterfront Bond Program to be reallocated to this project: $1M from Bert Winters Park; $660,000 in remaining funds from the Light Harbor Boat Ramp project; and $740,000 from Waterfront Bond reserves.

            D.        HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with the Community Land Trust of Palm Beach County, Inc. (CLT) in the amount of $4,523,006, funded under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program-2 (NSP2) for the development and construction of 25 multi-family rental units to be used for affordable rental housing, for the period of November 16, 2010, through December 15, 2012. SUMMARY: On July 11, 2006, Palm Beach County entered into an Agreement (R2009-1348) with the Housing Partnership, Inc., wherein the County agreed to purchase 7.29 acres of land located on Davis Road just south of Melaleuca Lane in unincorporated Palm Beach County.  The land was purchased with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the name of the Housing Partnership, Inc., who agreed to the eventual transfer of its title to a recipient to be selected by the County.  On January 13, 2009, the County entered into an Agreement (R2009-0144) with the CLT whereby the CLT received title to this land from the Housing Partnership, Inc.  Within the competitive NSP2 application process, Housing and Community Development proposed this project as an activity under the Neighborhood Redevelopment Program, and the project was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This Agreement provides for the development and construction of 25 residential multi-family rental housing units located within the County’s Urban Redevelopment Area. The Agreement requires the CLT to develop the portion of land east of Davis Road for the construction of two (2) garden-style buildings, one of which will contain 12 rental units, a second building which will contain 13 rental units, and a community room.  The project will be called “Davis Landings”, and CLT will assure that at least 55% of the units shall be rented to tenants whose household incomes are at or below 50% of the area median income (AMI), of which 25% of the units shall be rented to tenants whose household incomes are at or below 30% of the AMI. The remaining units shall be rented to tenants whose household incomes are at or below 120% of the AMI. The CLT will select its development team either in accordance with current Palm Beach County Purchasing policies or in accordance with CLT purchasing policies which have already received County staff approval. CLT is required to have developed, constructed, obtained certificates of occupancy, and have all 25 units occupied with eligible tenants by December 15, 2012. These are Federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program Grant funds that require no local match. District 3 (TKF)

PAGE             ITEM

 

15                    3C-3               DELETED: Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution authorizing the County Administrator and his designee: the County Engineer, Deputy County Engineer, Assistant County Engineer, Director of Roadway Production Division, Director of Engineering Services Division and Director of Traffic Division to execute construction agreements with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). (Engineering) (Further staff review)

 

47                    3AA-1             REVISED TITLE: Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

                                                A) Interlocal Agreement with the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) for $510,000 funding a portion of the cost of operating Route 94 for three (3) years; and

 

B) Budget Amendment of $510,000 in the Palm Tran Grant Fund to reconcile the Fiscal Year 2011 budget to account for this award recognize the award and transfer $127,500 (operating cost for one year) to the Palm Tran Operations Fund; and

 

C) Budget Amendment of $127,500 in the Palm Tran Operations Fund to recognize the transfer from the Palm Tran Grant Fund and appropriate it to Route 94.  (Palm Tran)

 

55                    5E-1                DELETED: Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with Rafael Montalvo, James Murley and Jean Scott for Facilitation Services related to Mining. Funding for this project is not to exceed $36,000.  The effective date of this Agreement is upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners with completion estimated to be August, 2011. (PZB) (Further staff review)

 

56                    5F-1                ADDED SUMMARY: This Ordinance has undergone extensive review by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Council, EMS Providers, and others agencies. There are nine (9) principal changes in this Ordinance.  Should these changes be adopted, Section 9, Term and Assignability of Certificates will allow the Board the ability to extend the COPCNs of our current private ambulance providers (Medics, AMR) for up to four (4) years.  Staff is recommending a three (3) year extension commencing on January 1, 2012 because the current two (2) ambulance providers have voluntarily agreed to forfeit their last year of their COPCN (which would have expired December 31, 2011) in order to permit Palm Beach County Fire Rescue to commence providing ALS/BLS services countywide starting in January 2011. Had the ambulance companies not forfeited their last year of eligibility, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue would have had to wait until January 1, 2012 to commence ALS/BLS county-wide. This three (3) year extension will negate the ability of other private EMS providers to submit an application to perform secondary provider ALS with BLS Inter facility transfer services until the three (3) year extension expires on December 31, 2015. Please refer to the executive summary for an explanation of the other eight (8) EMS Ordinance proposed changes. Countywide (DW) (Public Safety)

 


56                    5G-1               ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve the Federal FY 2011 Certifications and Assurances to be used in connection with all Federal assistance programs the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) administers during Federal Fiscal Year 2011; and

 

B) authorize Palm Tran’s Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director, through the County Administrator, to electronically execute and file the required certifications and assurances, on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, and to transmit the Board’s approval.

 

SUMMARY: Palm Tran needs to execute and file the required annual certifications and assurances on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners before FTA may award a Federal grant or cooperative agreement. The applicant must provide to FTA all certifications and assurances pertaining to itself or its project as required by Federal laws and regulations.  Selecting and submitting certifications and assurances to FTA, through FTA's Transportation Electronic Award and Management (TEAM) system signifies the county’s intent to comply with the requirements of those certifications and assurances to the extent they apply to a program for which the county submits an application for assistance in Federal Fiscal Year 2011.  FTA’s Certifications and Assurances are generally pre-award requirements, i.e., those requirements of Federal law and regulations the Applicant must fulfill before FTA is legally authorized to award Federal financial assistance to an Applicant. FTA requires a current (Federal Fiscal Year 2011) attorney's affirmation of the Applicant's legal authority to certify compliance with the funding obligations in this document; the attorney's signature from a previous year is not acceptable. Countywide (DR) (Palm Tran)

 

64                    9G                   ADD-ON: Request approval to present off-site, a Proclamation declaring December 1, 2010 as “World AIDS Day” in Palm Beach County. (Sponsored by Commissioner Taylor)
