Purpose Resolution to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)

FDOT as the location of a frontage road along the south end of the roadways in
Royal Palm Estates as part of their reconstruction of State Road 80. The
property owners in Royal Palm Estates requested the elimination of the frontage
road because they preferred to live on dead end streets. The frontage road area was consequently

3. Staff recommends

purchase price of $343,000 for one vacant parcel, measuring 3.08 acres located
on the west side of Haverhill Road approximately ¼ mile south of Lake Worth
Road. This parcel will be used as a storm water management area for the

County. Districts 2 & 3 (MRE)

construction of the Project. Approval of this CIGP Agreement will allow
Palm Beach County (County) to receive a grant of up to $5,140,000 which
requires matching funds of up to $5,140,000 for the Project. The County’s matching funds will be from Road
Impact Fees – Zone 5. The County will be responsible for all costs above this
grant amount. District 4 (MRE)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Contract
with Community Asphalt Corporation in the amount of $6,967,689.75 for the
Taxiway ‘L’ Extension at Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA). SUMMARY: This project was advertised utilizing the
County’s competitive bid process. On
April 5, 2011 three (3) bids were received for the Taxiway ‘L’ Extension at
PBIA. Of the three (3) bids Community
Asphalt Corporation, a Palm Beach County company, has been identified as a
responsible/responsive bidder with the lowest bid in the amount of
$6,967,689.75. This project is partially
funded by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pursuant to a Joint
Participation Agreement (JPA) (R2007-1794).
The JPA does not permit the application of a local preference and
requires Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) to have the maximum
opportunity to participate in this contract.
A DBE Goal for this project was established at 15%. Community Asphalt Corporation is responsive
to the DBE requirements and has committed to a minimum of 15%
participation. FDOT grant funding of $3,483,845
(50%) and Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) funds of $3,483,845 (50%) are being

3. Staff recommends

H. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT
& OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 4 to the contract with Southeast Drilling Services, Inc. (R2010-1019) in the amount of $498,017 for the construction of the second irrigation recharge well at the South County Regional Park Osprey Point Golf Course. SUMMARY: Change Order No. 4 provides for construction of a second recharge well, distribution pipe, associated electrical service, and control systems. Southeast Drilling Services, Inc. was awarded the construction of the initial recharge well on June 29, 2010. As part of the bid, an alternate was requested for the second recharge well. However, the pricing for the second well exceeded the funds available at the time, and it was decided to obtain some operational history on the watering requirements for the new type of sod being installed. Parks has determined that the second well will be required as allowed by the permit in order to maintain the golf course and has the funds remaining from the previously authorized construction budget. Southeast Drilling Services, Inc. has agreed to hold the pricing from their original bid and construct the well at this time. The recharge well and pump will operate by withdrawing water from the well and pumping it into the lake drainage system in order to replace the water withdrawn by the golf course and common area irrigation pumps. This recharge measure is required as part of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Water Use permit re-issued in July, 2009. The funding for this change order is coming from Parks Impact Fees - Zone 3. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for this project is 15%. This change order includes 29.7% SBE participation. The contract time is 180 calendar days to substantial completion. Southeast Drilling Services, Inc. is a Palm Beach County company. (Capital Improvements Division) District 5 (JM)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
Change Order No. 5 to the Contract with
The Weitz Company (R2007-1105) decreasing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
for the State Attorney/Public Defender & Judicial Center Hurricane
Hardening project by $1,449,176.94. SUMMARY:
On October 20, 2009, the Board approved the GMP (R2009-1774) in the amount of
$10,931,930 for the State Attorney/Public Defender & Judicial Center
Hurricane Hardening project. There is
$1,449,176.94 remaining in the contract contingency due to unused allowances,
unused owner’s contingency, buyout savings, and work efficiencies resulting
from an alternate method to replacing the glass. Change Order No. 5 reconciles
the final project cost and will also allow for closeout. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
participation goal is 15%, and the final SBE participation is 17%. Funding for
this project came from the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Fund (75%) and
the Public Building Improvement Fund (25%) and $362,294 will be returned to
General Fund Contingency. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide (JM)
3. Staff recommends motion to receive and file: notification of the cumulative total of Consultant Services Authorizations to Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK) (R2007-0033) for the Jail Expansion Program having exceeded the $250,000 of the original contract value. SUMMARY: In accordance with PPM CW-F-050, when the cumulative value of changes approved by the lead Department and the Contract Review Committee exceeds $250,000, the Department is required to notify the Board that it has exceeded this reporting threshold. The approval of Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 18 in the amount of $76,527 on December 22, 2010, by the Contract Review Committee caused the cumulative value of changes for this project to exceed $250,000. This item notifies the Board that the cumulative threshold has been reached. After the item is approved by the Board, the cumulative reporting thresholds are reset. CSA No. 18 provided for additional design and construction administration services associated with the Video Visitation Facility located at the Central Detention Center. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for this project is 15%. The cumulative SBE participation on this contract is 16.2%. (Capital Improvements Division) District 6 (JM)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment No.
001 to an Agreement with the City of Pahokee (R2010-2008) to expand the scope
of work, clarify the definition of program income, and to extend the Agreement
expiration date from November 30, 2011 to May 30, 2012, for $92,817. SUMMARY: The City of Pahokee is constructing a
restroom building at “City Park” that includes Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) compliant bathrooms and auxiliary improvements. The requested scope of
work change would modify the project scope to include the construction of a
concession stand for which there would be no additional expense. The definition
and reporting requirements for program income earned from the concession stand
are clarified, and a six (6) month extension to the existing Agreement is
provided. These are federal Community Development Block Grant funds which do
not require a local match. (Contract Development) District 6

Staff recommends motion to approve: Technical Revisions to the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Local Housing Assistance Plan’s (LHAP) Foreclosure Prevention Strategy and submission to Florida Housing Finance Corporation for notification. SUMMARY: These recommended Technical Revisions, will allow an income eligible applicant to receive up to the maximum award of $10,000, but will eliminate the maximum number of months of delinquencies that can be addressed. The current Policy permits only up to six (6) months of delinquent payments. Additionally, a prerequisite has been added requiring applicants to provide documentation from their first mortgage lender stating the lenders willingness to cease foreclosure proceedings upon the applicant’s approval for funding assistance through this strategy. These proposed revisions will reinstate loans and maintain affordable homeownership. The Commission on Affordable Housing Advisory Board recommended these revisions to the Board of County Commissioners on April 28, 2011. These are State Funds which require no local match.

Their Agreement will include software assurance for the Office Applications, thereby entitling the Tax Collector to upgrade to the Office 2010 software version. Since the Tax Collector has been utilizing the software licenses under the County’s Enterprise Agreement, the transfer of the 300 Core Client Access Licenses will be retroactive to the effective date of the County’s agreement - October 1, 2009.

Tripp Electric Motors, Inc. to revise the job creation requirement from 27 full-time
equivalent jobs to 12 full-time equivalent jobs and extend the expiration date
from June 30, 2009, to December 31, 2014. SUMMARY:
On March 13, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners
approved a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Economic Set-Aside
Agreement with Tripp Electric Motors, Inc. (Tripp) totaling $400,000 for the
purchase and installation of specialized equipment and parking lot
improvements. Through this funding,
Tripp was provided $14,814.81 per job to create 27 full-time equivalent (FTE)
jobs for low and moderate income residents in the Lake Okeechobee region. Tripp
completed the project activity, however, due to the economic downturn has been
unable to fulfill the job creation requirement. The company created 4.5 FTE
jobs during the contract period in addition to the existing 15.5 FTE jobs hired
at the time of the Agreement. The U.S. Dept.
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirement is to create or retain at
least one (1) FTE permanent job per $35,000 of CDBG funds used as per CFR 24 § 570.209(b)(1)(i). This Amendment No. 3 will assist the business by
lowering the job creation total to 12 FTE jobs ($33,333 per FTE), which is more
in line with HUD guidelines and extending the expiration date from June 30,
2009 to December 31, 2014. Tripp Electric Motors, Inc. will be required to
reimburse Palm Beach County $33,333.33 for each job not created and/or

B) approve the
use of State of Florida Office and Educational Consumables Contract No.
618-000-11-1, as amended, with Office Depot, Inc. for the purchase of office
supplies.
SUMMARY: Bid #11-058/CC was issued by the Palm Beach County Purchasing Department for the purpose of establishing a new term contract for the purchase of office supplies. Four (4) vendors submitted bids. Analysis of the bids revealed that all bids exceeded the pricing available under the State of Florida contract by 6% or more. Pursuant to Sections 2-54(c)(7) and (8) of the Purchasing Code, the Board of County Commissioners may reject any and all bids solicited through a formal competitive bid process. Additionally, Purchasing Code Section 2-54(f)(5) allows the County to use federal, state or municipal contracts for the purchase of goods or services provided that the originating entity utilized a competitive process similar to the County’s and the same terms and conditions are offered by the vendor and accepted by the County. The State of Florida contract with Office Depot, Inc. meets these conditions. Utilization of the State contract will result in an estimated annual cost savings of approximately $115,000 (compared to the low bidder), based on average County spending for office supplies over the last three (3) years.

SUMMARY: The Notes are being issued by the Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida (the “Authority”), pursuant to a plan of finance, to finance a portion of the costs of acquisition, construction and equipping by Westgate Plaza Apartments, Ltd. (the “Borrower”) of an approximately 80 unit multifamily rental housing facility to be known as Westgate Plaza Apartments, to be located on the south side of Westgate Avenue, approximately 220 feet west of Quail Drive, in the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, Florida, to be rented to qualified persons and families in Palm Beach County, Florida (the “County”) as required by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

1. Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 85-40, as amended, establishing an amended Five Year Road Program; providing for title; purpose; adoption of revised Five Year Road Program and revised list of projects contained in Exhibit “A”; implementation of the Program; modification of Program; funding of other roadway improvements, interpretation of exhibit; repeal of laws in conflict; severability; inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and effective date. SUMMARY: A Mid Year Modification of the Palm Beach County Five Year Road Program is contemplated in the Traffic Performance Standards and allows the Board of County Commissioners, through the adoption of an ordinance, to delete projects from the Program two times a year. Exhibit “A” to the Ordinance is a list of proposed projects for the next five (5) years and contains certain changes and modifications.

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Modification of Deed Restrictions
for a 5.57 acre parcel located south of Pioneer Road and west of the Florida
Turnpike conveyed to KidSanctuary, Inc., on June 6, 2006 (R2006-1043); and
B) a retroactive consent to a transfer
of ownership to KidSanctuary Campus, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation.
SUMMARY: On June 6, 2006, the Board conveyed the 5.57
acre parcel located south of Pioneer Road and west of the Florida Turnpike to
KidSanctuary, Inc., a non-profit corporation, at no cost. The County Deed
provided that the property would automatically revert to the County under
certain circumstances including the property owner’s failure to meet certain
construction and/or operational deadlines, or the property owner’s conveyance
of the property to an unrelated entity without prior Board consent to the
conveyance. KidSanctuary, Inc., conveyed the property in 2008 to KidSanctuary
Campus, Inc., a separate non-profit corporation, without obtaining County
consent to the conveyance. KidSanctuary Campus, Inc., requested an extension to
the deadlines contained in the County Deed, and Staff requested Board
direction. This Modification of Deed Restrictions will implement the April 5,
2011, Board direction to provide an extension to construct the facility in five
(5) phases over a 15 year period expiring on February 1, 2026, and provide a
retroactive consent to transfer of ownership from KidSanctuary, Inc., to
KidSanctuary Campus, Inc. The assessed value of the property is $279,481. The
property furthers no County function, and the Modification of Deed Restrictions
will allow KidSanctuary Campus additional time to construct its facilities. This Modification of Deed Restrictions must
be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A)
rescind Board
approval of an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Belle Glade (City) as
submitted on October 20, 2009 (R2009-1772);
B)
approve an Interlocal
Agreement with the City providing for the City’s donation of an approximate 0.82
acre parcel of real property located in Belle Glade to the County, together
with an access easement; and
C)
approve payment of
$142.69 for non-ad valorem real property taxes.
SUMMARY: On October 20, 2009, the Board approved an
Interlocal Agreement for the City’s donation of a 0.82 acre parcel of land for
fire rescue purposes and the County’s donation of $75,000 to be applied towards
the City’s re-configuration of the master plan of their new municipal
complex. The 0.82 acres is adjacent to
the existing Fire Rescue Station No. 73 property and is located within the
City’s municipal services compound.
After the Board’s approval, the City made changes to the Interlocal
Agreement to require the County to accept title subject to certain existing
title exceptions, including State reservations, which could have impacted the
County’s development plans. Staff has
worked over the past year obtaining partial releases of the reservations from
the State. With the partial releases
being recorded, the status of title is now acceptable. The City has also requested that the County
pay the City’s portion of the 2011 non-ad valorem tax, which is estimated to be
$142.69. This item rescinds the Interlocal Agreement approved by the Board and
replaces it with the version approved by the City. This donation must be approved by a supermajority vote (5
Commissioners). (PREM) District 6 (HJF)
3. Staff requests
Board direction: regarding
implementation of the Town of Lake Park’s Marina Project pursuant to the
Interlocal Agreement with the Town. SUMMARY: On November 16, 2010, the County and the Town
entered into an Interlocal Agreement (R-2010-1943) which provided the Town with
$2.4 Million for acquisition of .8 acres of land adjacent to the Marina for
expansion of boat trailer parking. The
Town closed on the acquisition in December 2010 using the County’s grant
funding. The Interlocal Agreement
required the Town to complete the boat trailer parking lot renovation within 24
months. The Interlocal Agreement also
requires that the Town close the southernmost section of Lake Shore Drive and
construct a pedestrian promenade within 60 months. Recently, Staff has been informed that the
Town Council, in response to complaints raised by neighboring residents, may be
reconsidering its commitment to closing Lake Shore Drive and constructing the
pedestrian promenade as required by the Interlocal Agreement. While Staff has not received a request from
the Town to modify the Interlocal Agreement and the Town has up to 60 months to
complete the pedestrian promenade phase of the project, Staff believes that it
would be helpful to clarify the Board’s position on this issue prior to the
Town committing to a position on the issue with the objecting neighbors. (PREM) District 1/Countywide (HJF) (FDO)

Water & Sewer District (District), an entity of Dixie County, sent a letter
to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) requesting consideration to purchase
two (2) vehicles that are coming up for sale at the County’s next thrift store
auction. The trucks have a combined fair
market value of $9,875. Due to the
District’s limited resources, they also requested assistance or relief
regarding the sale price. The discounted
sale or donation of surplus assets to an entity outside of Palm Beach County

of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code Chapter 3, Article
II, (Ordinance No. 2008-060) pertaining to nightclub security; amending section
3-22 definitions; amending section 3-23 security/law enforcement presence;
providing for applicability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and
ordinances; providing captions; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY:
In 2008, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Palm Beach County Code
Chapter 3, Article II (Ord. No. 2008-060) regulating nightclub security.
The Sheriff’s Office has requested that the Ordinance be amended to require
that all security officers at nightclubs be licensed by the State of Florida as
Class “D” officers. The requirement that security officers complete a
training course approved by the Sheriff’s Office has been deleted at the
request of the Sheriff’s Office. Additionally, the Sheriff’s Office has
requested that the Board of County Commissioners remove the Special Restaurant
Exemption as there are establishments which are currently exempt from the
Nightclub Ordinance but are in fact operating as nightclubs. The
Sheriff’s Office has documented almost 200 calls for service at these exempt
establishments. Removing the exemption, will require that these
establishments comply with the security requirements of the Nightclub Ordinance
and will serve to protect the health, safety and welfare of patrons at these
establishments. Countywide (DW)

on May 12, 2011, after a 16-month development process that included extensive
research on community models, input from public agency representatives, service
providers, funders, the general public, and numerous workshop sessions.
The impetus for this plan was to create a “snapshot” of information that
creates a general framework to be used by the Board of County Commissioners,
County Administration and the CAC in making decisions about the development of
the community’s social services programs. It is advisory in nature and
contains text, graphics, quotes and statistics that together form a publication
