ATTORNEY
1. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: the
official transcript for the closing of the Palm Beach County, Florida $16,189,340
Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds (Four Points and Other Public Buildings
Project), Series 2012 (the “Bonds”), as authorized by Resolution R2012-0380
adopted on March 6, 2012. The closing occurred on April 27, 2012. SUMMARY: The official transcript for this transaction
has been provided. This transcript should now be received and filed in the
Minutes Department. Countywide
(PFK)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve and accept: a
$7,000 lump sum payment and a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as part of a criminal
plea agreement reached in State of
Florida vs. Sylvia Sharps, Case No.: 2011CF009876AMB, and waive a
deficiency judgment, if any. SUMMARY: The County is the servicer and owner of the
first and second notes and mortgages in the amount of $188,100 and $24,700 respectively,
loaned through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, administered by the
Department of Economic Sustainability. Contemporaneous with the default on her
repayable loan payments, Sylvia Sharps was criminally charged with one count of
“Organized Scheme to Defraud” and one count of “Obtaining Mortgage by
Fraud.” Rather than file a separate
civil foreclosure action and incur additional costs related thereto, the County
cooperated with the State Attorney’s prosecution of Ms. Sharps in an effort to get
the property back as part of a criminal plea agreement. Staff therefore recommends that acceptance of
a $7,000 lump sum payment and a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as part of the
criminal plea agreement against Sylvia Sharps is in the County’s best interests.
District 3/Countywide (PGE)
3. Staff recommends

reached a tentative settlement agreement with the following terms and
conditions: 1) The agreement is subject
to Board of County Commission review and approval; 2) The County shall pay Mr.
Albores $400,000, inclusive of attorney’s fees and costs; and 3) Mr. Albores
shall dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice and provide the County with a full

E. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve
the State of Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten
(VPK) Education Program Statewide Provider Agreement with the Early Learning
Coalition of Palm Beach County, for the period October 1, 2012, through June
30, 2013, to provide VPK services to 531 children for 540 hours per child per
year; and
B) authorize the County Administrator or his

Summary: The 2012- 2013 VPK
Program will provide early childhood services to 531 four year old children
currently enrolled in ten (10) of the County’s Head Start centers: Boynton
Beach, Delray Beach, Jupiter, Lake Worth, Pahokee, Palm Glades, Riviera Beach,
South Bay, Westgate, and West Palm Beach.
Due to the many documents required by the Grantor, the delegation of
signing authority to the County Administrator or his designee is being
requested to expedite signed documents getting to the Grantor. The VPK reimbursement rate is $2,462.83 per
child per year for services to 531
children for 540 hours. VPK Reimbursement is based on
actual attendance of the children. The
County received $1,151,863 in VPK reimbursement for Fiscal Year 2011. No County

children at SFSP approved sites during times designated as the meal service
periods. This year’s meal service period
is from June 11, 2012, through August 18, 2012.

relating to the Palm Beach County One-e-App Eligibility Project. Summary: As a

1. REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends
motion for conceptual approval:
of negotiation terms regarding a proposed land exchange agreement with the
South Florida Water Management District for the Mecca Farms site in Palm Beach
County to be brought back to the Palm Beach County Board of County
Commissioners for review and approval. SUMMARY: On May 23, 2012,
the South Florida Water Management District submitted a letter of intent to
Palm Beach County confirming their interest in negotiating with the County for
the acquisition of the Mecca Farms site. The District is requesting fee
title to the approximately 1,919 acre property less an agreed amount of County
right-of-way. In exchange for this property, preliminary negotiations
would transfer approximately 1,495 acres in District land with an assessed
value of approximately $24.66 million to the County plus a cash payment of $30
million. Additionally, existing leases on the District property will
generate $305,000 in income per year and it is possible some parcels could be
sold. Mecca Farms
currently costs the County approximately $250,000 a year to secure and
maintain, in addition to debt service payments. The debt payment is
approximately $6.5 million per year from 2012-2015, approximately $3.8 million
per year for the ten years of 2016-2025, and approximately $610,000 per year
for the reaming remaining three (3) years of debt service. Proceeds
from this sale would be used to offset future debt service requirements. Although
the County still owes about $45 million in principal on the Mecca Farms
acquisition and other costs associated with its purchase under the terms of the
bond obligation, the debt would not need to be paid off before swapping the
land. The County has begun the due diligence process of appraising the land
included within this exchange. Countywide (HF)

Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on September 11, 2012 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, pertaining to refueling assistance for persons with disabilities; providing for the creation of a new section of the Code of Ordinances of Palm Beach County, Florida; providing for authority; providing for a title; providing for purpose; providing for definitions; providing for accessibility; providing for prohibited conduct; providing for filing of complaints; providing for enforcement and penalties; providing for severability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions, and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) has contacted counties throughout the State of Florida requesting they enhance state legislation that would require service stations/convenience stores with at least two or more attendants on duty to prominently display their store phone number to advise the handicap community they will provide refueling assistance to disabled motorists upon request. According to the PVA, typically because no phone numbers are displayed, a disabled motorist has to obtain assistance by honking their horn or otherwise signaling the attendant in order to refuel their vehicles. The ADA requires gas stations to provide refueling assistance upon request of a person with a disability if there is more than one attendant on duty. In addition, Florida Statute Section 526.141 mandates every full-service gas station with two or more attendants on duty be required to dispense gasoline to any motor vehicle properly displaying a handicap parking permit or license plate. The statute also requires the station to prominently display a decal no larger than eight (8) square inches on the front of all self-service pumps clearly indicating this requirement; however, it does not require the posting of a phone number. PVA is requesting a telephone number be displayed and the decal size be increased to 15 square inches (3X5) so that disabled motorists could call for assistance without exiting their cars. Hillsborough, Broward and Miami have adopted similar ordinances. Approximately 20% of the 450-500 gasoline stations/distributors would be required to meet this Ordinance requirement. This Ordinance would be enforced utilizing our county funded consumer affairs mediation/investigative personnel. Countywide (PGE)
2. Staff recommends motion to approve: reopening 12 vacant treatment beds at Highridge Family Center (HRFC) in order to reduce the waiting list which, at times, has reached as high as 100 youths. This would be accomplished at no additional cost (other than minor food cost) through the re-assignment, restructuring, and re-training of staff from the Youth Service Bureau. SUMMARY: Since the closure in 2008 of the two (2) dormitories (24 beds) at the Highridge Family Center for budgetary and low census reasons, there has been a consistent waiting list. At one point, there were 100 youths on the waitlist with 75 of them male and 25 female. While there are seasonal fluctuations in requesting these services, a consistent waitlist is not uncommon. The HRFC provides families with high quality comprehensive family services counseling to prevent “at risk” children from entering the Juvenile Justice System. At the one year follow up, 91.7% of the youths that completed our program had not been arrested as evidenced by preliminary study results of six (6) years of program participants (2003-2009). Furthermore, at the end of treatment, parents reported a decrease in aggression, behavior conduct problems, and hyperactivity; and, an increase in social skills, leadership, and communication. Parents have also reported children completing the treatment program have significantly improved their school grades during the 90 day program. By reassigning and restructuring the Division of Youth Affairs, staff will be able to support the additional males that will be placed in the 12 beds. Countywide (PGE)

to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the reconveyance to the Lake Worth Drainage
District (LWDD) of the County’s interest in 0.30 acres of real property located
in unincorporated Delray without charge and without reservation of mineral and
petroleum rights; and
B) approve a County Deed in favor of the Lake Worth Drainage District, a Special
Taxing District of the State of Florida.
SUMMARY: In 1950, the Lake Worth Drainage District conveyed approximately ten
(10) acres of property to the County comprising large portions of the lake on
the east side of Lake Ida Park. It appears that either the legal description of
the property did not accurately track the shoreline, or over time some of the
residential lots abutting the lake were filled out into the lake. Vickie
Garland, Ethel Ivory, & The Resurrection
Trust (collectively, Garland) own a 0.34 acre lot at 1516 Lake Drive, Delray
Beach which abuts the lake, but is separated from the lake by a 66´ x
200´ (13, 215 SF) upland strip of the property the County acquired from
LWDD. The County has no use for this
property as it is separated from the Park.
This parcel is essentially the lake frontage of Garland’s backyard. The Deed from LWDD contained a restriction
that the property be used for park purposes and included a reverter. Staff asked LWDD if it would release the
restriction and allow the County to sell the property to Garland. LWDD declined. Garland subsequently informed
LWDD that the property was not being used as a park, and requested a conveyance
of the property from LWDD. On March 2,
2012, LWDD requested that the County acknowledge the reversion and reconvey the
property to LWDD as the property is no longer being used for its intended
purpose. This County Deed is being
granted to LWDD in recognition of LWDD’s reverter rights and will allow title
to be transferred from LWDD to Garland.
The County will not retain mineral and petroleum rights as provided for
in Florida Statutes Section 270.11. All
purchases, sales and exchanges of real estate must be approved by a

and Sale (“Agreement”) with Transit Village, LLC (“TV”) for certain interests
in the County-owned real property commonly known as the Wedge and located
within the City of West Palm Beach’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
District, subject to FTA and FDOT approval of the terms of this Agreement.
SUMMARY: In response
to the Board’s concerns expressed at the July 10th meeting, TV has
agreed to increase the purchase price from $100,000 to $3.6 Million which is
equal to the price the County paid for the property. The acquisition was funded
by a Federal grant and local match in the following amounts: FTA $2,880,000
(80%), FDOT $361,500 (10%), West Palm Beach $180,750 (5%), and County $180,750
(5%). The This Agreement requires FTA and FDOT approval of all terms
of the Agreement as a precondition to closing of the sale The sale
of the property will provide. FTA and/or FDOT the right
to require could condition their approval upon repayment of the
grant funding, which Staff believes is likely. As a condition of TV
offering to increase the purchase price, TV required the Agreement to be
modified to transfer responsibility for grant repayment from TV to the County
up to the amount of the purchase price. The
net effect of these changes on revenue to be received by the County is likely
minimal. While TV does not
believe repayment will be required, TV is protecting itself against having to
pay twice. Some Board members also questioned the intensity of the Project.
At this revised price, TV is does not willing want
to further reduce the proposed development intensity. Pursuant to the
Agreement, TV will develop a transit oriented development (“Project”) over and
adjacent to the County’s Intermodal Transit Center (ITC). TV has six (6) years
to commence construction (interim milestones apply) on the Project of up to;
1) 12,500 SF of civic uses, 2) 400,000 SF of commercial/office, 3) 375 hotel
rooms, 4) 150 residential units (student/workforce/market), 5) 150 luxury
residential units and 6) 75,000 SF of amenity retail. The four (4) critical
objectives of the Request for Proposals (RFP) leading up to the Agreement were
to: 1) protect the operation of the ITC, 2) ensure that County would not assume
any financial risk or liability associated with the development of the Project,
3) ensure that the Project would not consume more than its share of the public
infrastructure available for, or otherwise burden, the remainder of the
development of the TOD, and 4) fulfill the County’s obligations to the South
Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) with respect to parking. The
Agreement is legally sufficient and can be approved today to move this project
forward. The appraised values ranged
from $350,000 to negative $5,000,000 under the sales comparison approach and
both appraisals deemed the Project infeasible utilizing the discounted sell-out/land
residual valuation approach. This Agreement must be approved by
supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (FDO) Countywide (HJF)
