39                    4G                   REVISED SUMMARY: Petitions in favor of the installation of a potable wastewater main have been provided by 57% of the property owners in the Swain Boulevard project area. The project will serve seven residential properties currently on septic tanks. Individual assessments of $45,206.15 per acre are based on 100% of the total project cost. Assessments for the seven properties range from a low of $6,328.86 to a high of $30,740.18. The assessment may be paid over 20 years with equal annual payments of principal and 5½% interest. The total assessable cost is $107,590.63 and includes the costs of surveying, design, drafting, permitting, construction, inspection, administration, and construction contingency. The project will be constructed utilizing a Work Authorization under the WUD Continuing Construction Contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc. (R2013-0551). The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc. provides for SBE participation of 16.56%. This Authorization includes 10.06% overall participation. The cumulative SBE participation is 10.06% overall. If the actual cost exceeds the total assessable cost, the differential will be covered by WUD's budget. Centerline Utilities, Inc. is not a local company.

A)  American Eldercare, Inc. (AEC) Service Agreement/Subcontract; and

C) Sunshine State Health Plan, Inc. (Health Plan) Ancillary Services Provider Agreement; and

 

D) United Healthcare of Florida, Inc. (United) Adult Day Care and Home Health Care Provider Participation Agreement.

 

Summary:  These Agreements are a result of the Federal Medicaid Reform mandate where Florida legislature created a new Long-term Care Managed Care Program (LTCMCP).  The State of Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), through a competitive bid process, chose four long-term care managed care plans for Palm Beach County.  Managed care allows health care organizations to direct how their enrollees receive health care services.  Medicaid recipients who qualify and become enrolled in LTCMCP will receive long-term care services.  These agreements will allow DOSS to continue to provide services to Medicaid recipients and to receive payments under LTCMCP.  Approval to negotiate these agreements was granted by the Board of County Commissioners on January 15, 2013 (Agenda Item 3.E.6).  These agreements are available to other qualified care providers and are non-competitive.  (DOSS)  Countywide (TKF)

C) a Budget Amendment of $190,000 in the Airport Improvement and Development Fund to provide funding for the Emergency Phone System at PBIA, and a transfer from Airport PFC funds of $190,000.

 

SUMMARY: The CM at Risk Contract with The Morganti Group, Inc. for CM at Risk Services for Terminal Improvements at PBIA was approved by the Board on June 4, 2013 (R2013-0663).  The Contract is for two years with three one-year renewal options and is a task order based contract for CM at Risk Services at PBIA.  The Morganti Group, Inc. is a Danbury, Connecticut, based firm; however, the work will be directly managed by their southeast regional office in Palm Beach County.  Amendment   No. 1 in the amount of $1,130,000 and 180 calendar days to complete Task M-1:  Building 3400 Interior Improvements at PBIA was approved by the Board on July 2, 2013 (R2013-0829).  Approval of Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $190,000 and 70 calendar days will provide funds to complete Task M-2:  Emergency Phone System at PBIA.  The M-2 task was budgeted for Fiscal Year 2014 due to the uncertainty of the Federal Aviation Administration’s schedule for occupancy of the new Air Traffic Control Tower.  It has now been confirmed that the move to the new ATCT has been scheduled for mid September, which requires a budget transfer to complete the Emergency Phone System prior to occupancy. This project is being funded with PFC funds. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal for this contract was established at 13%. No DBE participation is included in this task; however, The Morganti Group, Inc. demonstrated good faith efforts to achieve the DBE goal as required by the contract. Countywide (JCM)

BB.     SHERIFF

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $53,800 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055(5) provides that the seizing agency shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime prevention, safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or complex investigations, providing additional equipment or expertise, purchasing automated external defibrillators, and providing matching grant funds. F.S. 932.7055(5) also requires that no less than 15% of the LETF’s previous year’s revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2013 estimated donation requirement is $59,110. The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The year-to-date transfer for all donations to outside organizations after approval of this item is $1,048,244.  The funds are requested here are to aid PBSO and qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the Sheriff.  The current State LETF balance is $1,096,219. Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,042,419.  The PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055.  Below is a table indicating the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per respective organization or agency.  No new positions are needed and no additional County funds are required.  Countywide (PGE)

4.         PUBLIC HEARINGS – 9:30 A.M. (Motion to receive and file: Proof of publication)

 

 

A.        Staff recommends motion to:

 

1) adopt a Resolution approving the Palm Beach County Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2013-2014; and

 

2) authorize the Mayor, or his designee, to execute Standard Forms 424 and Certifications for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive Fiscal Year 2013-2014 formula grant funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs.

 

Summary:  At the March 26, 2013, Workshop the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) established the priorities for the Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Action Plan (AP).  Federal Regulation 24 CFR Part 91 requires the County to submit an AP to HUD no later than August 14, 2013, to receive CDBG, ESG, and HOME entitlement grants for FY 2013-2014.  Failure to meet the deadline will automatically result in the loss of all funds for the upcoming year.  On May 29, 2013, the County was formally notified that CDBG funding would increase by nine percent (9%) and HOME funding by one percent (1%).  The ESG funding was decreased by twenty-six percent (26%).  However, staff continues to receive notice that Congress has not approved these allocations which may cause a change to the proposed funding amounts for each program.  Staff is recommending that the additional CDBG funding be utilized to:  increase Economic Development Activities by $80,000 to fund the Center for Enterprise Opportunity; establish a Utility Connection Program in the amount of $35,000; and to provide a 9% increase to Public Services, Local Entitlement Municipalities, County-Initiated Projects, and Special Area of Hope. Staff recommends that all HOME activities are proportionately increased. The Division of Human and Veterans Services Non-Conflict Grant Review Committee made funding recommendations reflecting the revised ESG grant award, resulting in a reduction of 10-29 percent from the initial amount based on the funding category and scoring.  A summary of the draft AP and a Notice of Public Hearing were published on June 16, 2013.  This funding is projected to create 345 jobs and have a five year Economic Sustainability Impact of $54,540,000. The ESG required 100% local match will be provided by the thirteen ESG-funded agencies, the Division of Human Services, and the Department of Economic Sustainability.  The HOME required local match ($342,517) will be provided from the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program. CDBG funds require no local match. (Strategic Planning) Countywide (TKF)

A.        ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff requests Board approval: on a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, requesting the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior to require the application of the two-part determination of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) to the Seminole Coconut Creek land-into-trusts application. SUMMARY: The Seminole Tribe (Tribe) has developed plans to transform the Seminole Coconut Creek Casino into one of the largest destination casino resorts in the State of Florida. The Tribe has made application to the United States Department of the Interior to take 45 acres of land into trust for the casino resort complex to develop a proposed 20-story 1,000 room hotel, 2,500 seat showroom, an expanded parking structure, a pool and spa facility, 47,000 square feet of retail, a conference center and associated facilities. This proposal would create more hotel space than there currently is at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, also in Broward County. The IGRA requires a “two-part determination” for off-reservation lands to be taken into trust for gaming purposes and permits approval of a land-into-trust application for a “gaming establishment” if the Secretary of the Interior concludes that approval is in the best interest of the tribe, will not be detrimental to the surrounding community, and the Governor of the State concurs. Therefore, Palm Beach County, given its proximity to this project and the potential impact it may have on the southern portion of the county, is supporting this request for a two-part determination.

SUMMARY:  Hurricane Sandy impacted the Palm Beach County coastline on October 29, 2012, causing substantial damage to the federally authorized Jupiter Carlin and Delray Beach Shore Protection projects. Rehabilitation funding appropriated by Congress allows the Corps of Engineers (COE) to replace sand lost during the storm at 100% cost to the federal government, which is estimated to be $4 million for the JCS and $1.7 million for the DBS.  The CAs set the terms and responsibilities of both the COE and the County. The PPA for the DBS allows for the remainder of the design beach fill template to be filled by the COE at a cost share of 56% Federal, 44% non-Federal share.  Sufficient funding for the Federal share, estimated to be $2.53 million, has been authorized for this work by Congress.  The estimated non-Federal share is $2 million, of which $1 million is anticipated to be eligible for reimbursement by the State.  A letter sent by the DoA with additional information was received on April 26, 2013.  The Interlocal Agreement with the CITY allows for cooperative management of the local responsibilities associated with the project.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a Lease between the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Palm Beach County and Roth Farms.  SUMMARY:  The County and SFWMD own adjacent parcels of land at 20 Mile Bend totaling 114.57 acres that were leased by Roth Farms until February 25, 2013, when the lease expired.  Roth Farms has farmed the property since before the County’s acquisition of the property in 2007.  On December 20, 2012, SFWMD issued a Request for Bid (RFB) to lease both parcels for a period of one year.  It was in the best interest of the County to participate in SFWMD’s RFB process such that a single larger parcel could be offered for lease. Roth was the sole bidder and bid $25,778.25 ($225/acre).  On May 6, 2013, SFWMD approved this Lease.  The term is retroactive to February 26, 2013, and will expire on February 25, 2014. Upon approval by the County, Roth’s payment of $25,778.25 to SFWMD will be deposited and, as this revenue is shared on a pro rata basis between SFWMD (33.92%) and the County (66.08%), SFWMD will then forward the County $17,034.27.

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a License Agreement with the City of Belle Glade (City) which grants the City the right to schedule and issue permits for the use of the Belle Glade Civic Center (Civic Center) which is located within the Palm Beach County Branch Library (Library).  SUMMARY:  On May 26, 2010, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement (R2010-0813) (Interlocal Agreement) with the City requiring the County to construct a single facility housing both the Library and the Civic Center (together the Combined Community Facility).  The Combined Community Facility is complete and the Civic Center is ready for use subject to approval of the License Agreement.  The License Agreement sets forth the duties and responsibilities of the City and County relative to scheduling and processing applications for permits to use the Civic Center.  Pursuant to this License Agreement, the City will be responsible for intaking, processing, approving, scheduling and calendaring the applications for permits to use the Civic Center.  The County can pre-schedule the Civic Center for Library uses four or more months in advance and can schedule additional uses on an as available basis.  The City will be able to schedule and permit meetings, lectures and community programming (collectively Meetings) which do not involve food and beverage and are held during Library business hours without County review.  The City may also schedule the Civic Center for private uses such as weddings, baby showers, birthdays and dances (collectively Events); however, no Meeting or Event shall conflict with the quiet enjoyment, operation and use of the Library.  In order to ensure that Events do not conflict with Library operations and use, the County will review all Event permit applications and determine the appropriate special conditions to further define the limits of the use, custodial and security requirements and the costs related to such use.  The special conditions will be attached without modification to the City issued permit.  The City will be responsible for having an employee on-site during all Events to ensure compliance with the conditions of the permit, the Facility Rules and Use Policy and to perform various responsibilities related to safety and security.  Alcohol will be permitted only at Events held after Library hours.  There are no County fees for Meetings scheduled by the City. Events scheduled by City will be subject to a County administrative processing fee as well as the costs for custodial and/or security made necessary as a result of the Event (County Fees). The City will collect the County Fees and will remit those County Fees no less frequently than quarterly. The City’s failure to collect or remit the required fees, failure to enforce or require special conditions relating to security, or failure to comply with representative responsibilities relating to security, may result in suspension of the License Agreement.  In the event of a license suspension, County will assume the scheduling and will permit uses that are consistent with the License Agreement. City will also assess and collect City fees for administrative processing, facility use and the on-site City staff. A refundable deposit is also required. (FDO Admin) Countywide (MJ)

B) Staff to submit to the Property Appraiser public hearing dates of Monday, September 9 at 6 p.m. and Monday, September 23 at 6 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, 6th floor of the Governmental Center for FY 2014;

 

C) Administrative adjustments to establish funding in the FY 2014 budget for capital projects approved and established in the current fiscal year.  These projects were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2013) after the preparation of the proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2014 budget. These adjustments will have no impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative budget to be presented at the first public hearing; and

 

D) Administrative adjustments to establish funding in the FY 2014 budget for designated fund balances for contingency and other projects and carryover for encumbrances. These balances and encumbrances were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2013) after the preparation of the proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2014 budget.  These adjustments will have no impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative budget to be presented at the first public hearing.

 

SUMMARY: The proposed millage rates for Countywide, Library, & Fire Rescue MSTU are at the current year millage rate, and above rollback.  The millage rate for the Jupiter Fire MSTU is below the current rate and above rollback. Countywide (PFK)

                                    TIME CERTAIN 2:00 P.M.

1.         Staff:

 

A) recommends motion to deny a request by Metro Mobility Management Group, LLC (MMMG) to extend the vehicle mileage limit from 250,000 to 300,000 miles;

 

B) recommends motion to deny a request by MMMG to increase dedicated service percentage from 70% to 75%;

 

C) requests Board direction regarding: 1) Continuation of the current Contract with MMMG provided full compliance is achieved and maintained; or 2) Termination of the Contract with MMMG in part for failure to perform; or 3) Termination of the Contract with MMMG in whole for failure to perform; and 4) Assessment of liquidated damages.

 

Summary:  On June 26, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a Contract (R2012-0934) with Metro Mobility Management Group, LLC (MMMG) for the provision of paratransit services for a term of five years in the amount of $90,246,070.12.  On April 23, 2013, the BCC discussed MMMG’s performance failures under the Contract. MMMG was encouraged to have the automatic vehicle location system (AVL) system fully implemented by July 16, 2013 to enable the BCC to better evaluate complaints regarding on-time performance and consider MMMG’s status. The BCC postponed a decision on the assessment of liquidated damages. Additionally, the BCC approved modifications to a proposed Amendment to the Contract, which primarily relates to Palm Tran Connection doing 100% of the scheduling. The parties have been unable to agree upon the terms of this Agreement.  Since the April 23, 2013 BCC meeting, MMMG has implemented the AVL system, achieved 43% DBE participation, and has brought both the on-time performance and complaint ratios to within the contract requirements.  However, MMMG has failed to meet Contract requirements for their vehicle breakdown ratio, accident ratio, maintenance requirements, mileage compliance, and liquidated damages.  MMMG has requested that the mileage limit on vehicles be increased from 250,000 to 300,000, which Staff does not support as it has potential negative ramifications on customer safety and is not consistent with the original solicitation.  Additionally, MMMG has requested that the dedicated service route percentage be increased from the current rate of 70% to 75%.  Staff does not support this request as it has negative budget impacts of approximately $6.2 Million over the remainder of the five year Contract. The Contract has a maximum liquidated damage limit of $100,000 over any 12 month period.  MMMG’s accumulated liquidated damages through the first ten months (May 2013) of the Contract are $2,208,525.  At the April 23, 2013 BCC meeting, the total liquidated damages through February 2013, was $1,413,537.  Staff recommended waiving $951,607 of this amount.  Due to the fact that MMMG is in default under the Contract with respect to liquidated damage limits, vehicle accident ratio, breakdown ratio, maintenance, spare ratio, mileage and age, Staff is seeking Board direction regarding termination in part for failure to perform, termination in whole for failure to perform, or continuation of the current Contract provided full compliance is achieved and maintained.
