A) PRCMVAL Acquisition, LLC (PRCMVAL) together with its permitted assignee, PRCP-Abacoa Investment, LLC (PRCP) as the purchaser of the property identified in the Declaration of Restrictions granted to Palm Beach County by Dakota Abacoa Housing, LLC (DAH) on June 21, 2012, and recorded in Official Records Book 25305, Page 544, of the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida;

SUMMARY: On April 3, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved (R2012-0524) $445,512 in impact fee credits for DAH under the Impact Fee Affordable Housing Assistance Program. A Certificate of Award was provided which enabled DAH to receive impact fee credits for 132 of 142 rental housing units at the Dakota Apartments project.  A Declaration of Restrictions in favor of Palm Beach County was recorded against the property to secure these funds and to ensure a 15 year affordability period. The construction of the project was completed in 2014 and the units were put in service. DAH wishes to sell the property to PRCMVAL and PRCP as the permitted assignee, and has requested approval of this purchaser as required under the Declaration of Restrictions.

35                   5D-1                REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve: A) on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on April 19, 2016 March 1, 2016: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 2, Article V, Division 5 of the Palm Beach County Code Ordinance No. 1988-16, amended by Ordinance No. 1989-003, amended by Ordinance No. 1990-038, amended by Ordinance No. 1992-014, amended by Ordinance No. 1992-025, amended by Ordinance No. 1993-001, amended by Ordinance No. 1993-035, amended by Ordinance No. 1995-006, and amended by 2014-003; relating to the Criminal Justice Commission of Palm Beach County; amending Section 2-216 (operation); amending Section 2-221 (administration); providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date; and B)

 

SUMMARY: On November 3, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to work with Commissioner Taylor, various members of the CJC, Economic Council (EC), and the Chief Judge to review the structure of the CJC. The committee met on November 13, 2015 and made the following recommendations to the CJC Ordinance: 1) Modify the reporting relationship of the CJC Executive Director to report to the County Administrator; and 2) Modify the composition of the CJC membership by reducing the private sector membership nominated by the EC from twelve to four which would allow each County Commissioner to appoint a member and add an ex-offender as a private sector member appointed by an entity/organization that engages in reentry efforts.  In 1988, the EC funded personnel costs associated with the CJC Executive Director position for two years.  Since 1990, the BCC and other funding sources have supported the CJC budget; leading the committee to recommend reducing the number of members nominated by the EC.  On January 25, 2016, these recommendations were presented to the full CJC who did not support the revisions to the private sector membership nominated by the EC and recommended reducing the private sector membership from twelve to ten and allow each County Commissioners to appoint a member with the exception of the Commissioner who serves as the BCC liaison to the CJC, resulting in the CJC increasing membership from 33 to 37.  Currently, the CJC is the largest advisory board of the BCC and contrary to the county’s existing policy relating to the size of advisory boards. Existing policy limits commission and advisory boards’ membership to 9 - 11.  Currently, all private sector members are nominated by the Economic Council (EC); however, they do not have to be a member of the EC to be nominated.  Currently, there are two open private sector member appointments. In addition, at the November 3, 2015 BCC meeting Commissioner McKinlay suggested including an ex-offender as a private sector member of the CJC membership which was not approved by the CJC due to several CJC committees already having participation of ex-offenders.  As an alternative, staff recommends reducing the private sector membership nominated by the EC from twelve to five allowing each County Commissioner to appoint a member with the exception of the Commissioner who serves as the BCC liaison to the CJC and adding an at-large member of the clergy nominated by the Palm Beach County Ministerial Clergy Alliance as a private sector member. This allows total CJC membership to remain at thirty-three.  Other recommended changes include adding a BCC member to the CJC Executive Committee, defining the attendance policy and conduct of meeting, which will be incorporated in the CJC by-laws. Countywide (JB) (Admin/CJC)

 

36                    5D-2               REVISED TITLE: Staff:

 

A) requests Board direction on County Infrastructure backlog, funding of projects, and potential partnerships to include;

 

B) recommends motion to receive and file on the review of the validity of the infrastructure renewal & replacement (R&R) by four engineering and architectural firms; and

 

C) recommends motion to receive and file on the County’s Spend Analysis as prepared by RSM LLP. (Admin)

3.         CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

 

A.        ADMINISTRATION (Cont’d)

 

2.         Staff recommends a motion to:

 

A) approve an Agreement with Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the implementation of the Community Back to School: Putting Kids First Program;

 

B) authorize an advance payment to the Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. up to $50,000 to purchase school supplies for the Back to School Bash;

 

C) approve a Budget Transfer of $100,000 from the CCRT Reserve Funding in the Capital Outlay Fund to establish a transfer to the OCR Special Projects and Initiatives Fund; and

 

D) approve a Budget Amendment of $100,000 in the OCR Special Projects and Initiatives Fund to recognize and appropriate the transfer from the Capital Outlay Fund of $100,000 for the Community Back to School: Putting Kids First Program.

 

SUMMARY:  This Agreement provides for the County to provide advance payments to Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. and authorize payments to County approved vendors in an amount not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) for the costs of purchasing bookbags and school supplies associated with the implementation of the “Community Back to School Bash: Putting Kids First Program” (Bash). The Bash was originally approved by the Board of County Commissioners in 2006 to provide school supplies to underserved kids throughout Palm Beach County. Along with school supplies, children also receive free school physicals, immunizations, haircuts, and clothing to ensure that they are ready for the first day of school. Additionally, the Bash provides families with exposure to other community resources to help them on their road to self-sufficiency and improve their children’s success in school.  Funding for this Bash is available from CCRT Recouped Funding Reserves. Advance payments are necessary because the Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. do not have access to the necessary capital to upfront all the cash needed for the Bash implementation, and can move forward with the purchase some of the school supplies.  Advance payments will not exceed $50,000. This Agreement begins on February 15, 2016 and ends on October 31, 2016. Countywide (AH)

SUMMARY:  On December 20, 1977, the Board approved a Lease Agreement (R77-1448) with the Armory for approximately 18.77 acres of land located at 3193 Gun Club Road, West Palm Beach, for the construction and operation of an Armory Building.  The existing lease expires in approximately thirteen years on December 31, 2028.  The Armory is seeking federal funding to renovate the Armory Building and add additional parking.  Funding is conditional upon the Armory securing site control for a minimum of twenty-five years.  The Armory has requested and Staff supports a term of twenty-six years from the effective date of this Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease with a rental rate of $1 per year.  This Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease terminates and replaces the existing lease agreement, amends Exhibit “A” to reduce the premises to 18 acres, updates the lease to include various standard County provisions, includes airspace height restrictions, the right to flight, and Airport operation protections.  Should the property fail to be used as an active military organization for twelve consecutive or twenty-four cumulative months, the Amended and Restated Agreement of Lease will terminate and all the property shall revert to the County.  PREM will continue to have administrative responsibility for this lease.

B) approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Ryman Mechanical, Inc. for the HVAC replacement project at Pahokee Gymnasium in the credit amount of $145,792;

 

C) authorize the payment in the amount of $15,000 to the City of Pahokee for interior improvements at the Pahokee Gymnasium upon the City approving $60,000 in interior improvements or the City executes a funding agreement with the County whichever occurs earlier; and

 

D) authorize the payment to the City of Pahokee, upon final payment to Ryman Mechanical, of all remaining funds in the Pahokee Gymnasium contingency line for interior Improvements at the Pahokee Gymnasium providing that the City has already received funds pursuant to Motion C.

 

SUMMARY:  The HVAC replacement project is Phase 2 of a multi-phase project and consists of the replacement of the existing rooftop HVAC units with new, energy efficient units and life-safety lighting improvements.  The existing HVAC equipment has reached the end of their useful life spans and the lighting is not up to code.  The original, as-bid scope included new HVAC units for the gymnasium, weight room, and multi-purpose room, but due to the bids significantly exceeding the available budget, scope reductions were necessary. On January 26, and after weighing various options, the Pahokee City Commission approved an option that: 1) reduced the scope of the HVAC to only the gymnasium, 2) transfer residual County funds from the deduct to offset the City’s estimated $75,000 expenses toward interior improvements, and 3) directed the City Manager to identify $60,000 of City funds to complete the interior improvements to the Gymnasium; all in an effort to concurrently finish the HVAC and interior improvements in mid-July with final completion in mid August. This will complete the County’s funding and physical involvement in this project totaling $1,012,561 ($837,561 from Community Development Block Grant [CDBG] and $175,000 Ad Valorem).  The remaining work includes replacing the air conditioning at the weight room and multipurpose recreational area and making various interior improvements to both areas; all of which will be fiscally and physically undertaken by the City. The total construction duration to Final Completion is 172 calendar days.  The HVAC work was competitively bid with Ryman Mechanical, Inc. submitting the lowest responsible, responsive bid.  Davis Bacon requirements and prevailing wage provisions apply to the contract.  There is a Federal 22.4% minority participation requirement. Ryman Mechanical, Inc. is a Pasco County company. The project is funded through Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) using monies from CDBG Program as well as Ad Valorem funding by the County.  The CDBG funds will be exhausted with the HVAC contract and only ad valorem funds transferred to the City.

A) approve Emergency Procurement for the Offsite Reclaimed Water Main (Project) for The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches (Ballpark);

 

B) approve Work Authorization No. 11 with Centerline Utilities, Inc. in the amount of $1,279,678.70; and

 

C) authorize the County Administrator or her designee to execute a change order to the Work Authorization No. 11 for the upsizing of a portion of the line and related equipment, in the event that the City of West Palm Beach City Commission approves the work at the City’s sole cost no later than February 17, 2016.

 

Summary: On May 7, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Water Utilities Department Pipeline Continuing Construction Contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc. (R2013-0551)(Continuing Contract).  Work Authorization No. 11 provides for the construction of reclaimed water infrastructure to transmit reclaimed water from the East Central Regional Water Reclamation Facilities (ECRWRF) to the Ballpark located at the intersection of Haverhill Road and 45th Street.  The Project is needed to fulfill the County’s obligation to provide reclaimed water for utilization by the proposed baseball facilities under previously executed interlocal agreements. The majority of the work under Work Authorization No. 11 was not contained within the bid line items for the Continuing Contract and is greater than the allowance for non-bid items, therefore requiring re-bidding the work or an emergency procurement.  The procurement must be an emergency procurement since the delay incident in re-bidding the work would be detrimental to the interests of the County by: a) causing the Ballpark not to be completed by the 2017 Spring Training Season and therefore foregoing the associated bed tax revenues, and/or b) requiring alternate, more costly turf and landscaping to be installed which does not require as long a grow-in period.  The County and HW Spring Training LLC have both reviewed the value of the work not contained in bid line items in the Continuing Contract and have satisfied themselves that the prices for the work not in bid line items are reasonable and competitive. Per the Interlocal Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Reclaimed Water between the County and the City of West Palm Beach dated August 18, 2015 (R2015-1075) (Interlocal Agreement), the City of West Palm Beach has the option to upsize the lines to provide the City capacity to service future customers. The City has until February 17, 2016 to approve such work.  Upon completion of the Project, the pipeline and metering facilities will be owned, operated and maintained by the City of West Palm Beach.  The cost of the Project is being funded with proceeds from the $135 Million Bond for development of the Ballpark. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The Continuing Contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc. provides for SBE participation of 16.56%. Work Authorization No. 11 includes 16.6% overall participation. The cumulative SBE participation including this Authorization is 16.59% overall. Centerline Utilities, Inc. is not a Palm Beach County company. (WUD Project No. 16-015) Countywide/District 7 (MJ)

The Second Mortgage, Veterans Homeownership, Housing Rehabilitation and Homeless Prevention programs selection criteria will be based on a first qualified, first served basis subject to funding availability.  Priority preference for these programs will be given to special needs households which include persons with disabilities, elderly and veterans.  Funding for Developers will include preference given to projects in the Glades per Board of County Commissioner’s prior direction.  The distribution of Developer Rental Assistance funding will be made through a competitive Request for Proposals.  Per the current Local Housing Assistance Plan approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), five percent (5%) of the total allocation has been dedicated to Project Delivery and rolled into each activity based on the percentage estimate of use per activity.  Current accomplishments include 1,168 single-family homes with affordable restrictions preserved and 2,687 multi-family units with affordable restrictions preserved.  SHIP programs serve from very low (50% or below) area median incomes (AMI) to low and moderate AMI (between 51% and 140%) which now includes workforce housing income levels. These are State SHIP funds which require no local match. Countywide (JB)

1.         REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on April 19, 2016 March 1, 2016: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 2, Article V, Division 5 of the Palm Beach County Code Ordinance No. 1988-16, amended by Ordinance No. 1989-003, amended by Ordinance No. 1990-038, amended by Ordinance No. 1992-014, amended by Ordinance No. 1992-025, amended by Ordinance No. 1993-001, amended by Ordinance No. 1993-035, amended by Ordinance No. 1995-006, and amended by 2014-003; relating to the Criminal Justice Commission of Palm Beach County; amending Section 2-216 (operation); amending Section 2-221 (administration); providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date; and

 

B) termination of the Letter of Agreement with former Chairman of the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC). The letter delineated responsibilities of the CJC that are now incorporated in the CJC Ordinance.

 

SUMMARY: On November 3, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to work with Commissioner Taylor, various members of the CJC, Economic Council (EC), and the Chief Judge to review the structure of the CJC. The committee met on November 13, 2015 and made the following recommendations to the CJC Ordinance: 1) Modify the reporting relationship of the CJC Executive Director to report to the County Administrator; and 2) Modify the composition of the CJC membership by reducing the private sector membership nominated by the EC from twelve to four which would allow each County Commissioner to appoint a member and add an ex-offender as a private sector member appointed by an entity/organization that engages in reentry efforts.  In 1988, the EC funded personnel costs associated with the CJC Executive Director position for two years.  Since 1990, the BCC and other funding sources have supported the CJC budget; leading the committee to recommend reducing the number of members nominated by the EC.  On January 25, 2016, these recommendations were presented to the full CJC who did not support the revisions to the private sector membership nominated by the EC and recommended reducing the private sector membership from twelve to ten and allow each County Commissioners to appoint a member with the exception of the Commissioner who serves as the BCC liaison to the CJC, resulting in the CJC increasing membership from 33 to 37.  Currently, the CJC is the largest advisory board of the BCC and contrary to the county’s existing policy relating to the size of advisory boards.  Existing policy limits commission and advisory boards’ membership to 9 - 11.  Currently, all private sector members are nominated by the Economic Council (EC); however, they do not have to be a member of the EC to be nominated.  Currently, there are two open private sector member appointments. In addition, at the November 3, 2015 BCC meeting Commissioner McKinlay suggested including an ex-offender as a private sector member of the CJC membership which was not approved by the CJC due to several CJC committees already having participation of ex-offenders.  As an alternative, staff recommends reducing the private sector membership nominated by the EC from twelve to five allowing each County Commissioner to appoint a member with the exception of the Commissioner who serves as the BCC liaison to the CJC and adding an at-large member of the clergy nominated by the Palm Beach County Ministerial Clergy Alliance as a private sector member. This allows total CJC membership to remain at thirty-three.  Other recommended changes include adding a BCC member to the CJC Executive Committee, defining the attendance policy and conduct of meeting, which will be incorporated in the CJC by-laws.

2.         REVISED TITLE: Staff:

 

A) requests Board direction on County Infrastructure backlog, funding of projects, and potential partnerships to include;

 

B) recommends motion to receive and file on the review of the validity of the infrastructure renewal & replacement (R&R) by four engineering and architectural firms; and

 

C) recommends motion to receive and file on the County’s Spend Analysis as prepared by RSM LLP.

 

SUMMARY:  Consistent with Board direction resulting from the November 24, 2015 Workshop addressing backlogged County infrastructure, County Staff has continued working toward a discretionary local government infrastructure surtax for the upcoming November ballot. The proceeds of such tax would finance the renewal and replacement (R&R) of existing capital investments including roadway surfaces, bridges, drainage improvements, canals, park amenities and government buildings; all of which were deferred during the recent recession and remain outstanding.  At the same time these funds would allow for previously planned public safety initiatives and equipment as well as other appreciable public facilities to be advanced without impacting the routine capital maintenance practices and other strategic facility investments that are made financially feasible through existing tax collections. The ordinance to allow the surtax would also require an oversight committee to review that spending is in line with the approved project list.

 

Staff has been working with municipalities, the School District, Cultural Council, and community/business leaders to discuss the surtax and the County’s infrastructure needs. If the Board gives direction to prepare an ordinance to add the surtax to the ballot, a full-time Project Manager will be added to manage the surtax project.

 

The Board authorized staff to review spending and the process to prepare a project needs list and those reports are now complete. In addition, staff has prepared a list of backlogged projects that need to be addressed. Countywide (PFK)
