3. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) ratify the signature
of the Mayor on the 2016 Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Youth Homelessness Demonstration Grant Application in the amount of $300,000
for preventing and ending youth homelessness for a grant period of two years
upon receipt of funding; and
B) delegate signature authority to
the County Administrator, or designee, to sign the 2016 HUD Youth Homelessness Demonstration Grant
Agreement, any grant amendments or required forms for preventing and ending
youth homelessness for an amount up to $300,000.
SUMMARY: Palm
Beach County is eligible for federal funding to develop and execute a
coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness over
a two year period. The Division of Human Services (DHS), serving as the Lead
Agency must apply for this federal funding. The grant application has two
phases for submission and award. For Phase I, DHS is requesting $300,000 in
federal funding to support the development of a Youth Needs Assessment Plan. Phase
I funding will include the distribution of stipends to youth who will assist in
the collection of data and analysis related to ending youth homelessness. A
$75,000 (25%) match is required. DHS anticipates receiving $44,000 in community
support towards the match, leaving $31,000 as in-kind (staffing cost included
in FY 2017 budget). Phase II funding is contingent upon the approval and award
of Phase I. If Palm Beach County is awarded Phase I funding, an application for
Phase II funding will be submitted to HUD to request the fully designated
funding allocation as determined by HUD. The start date of Phase I funding will
be based upon receipt of funding by HUD. The emergency signature process was
utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the application
through the regular Board of County Commissioner’s agenda process. (Division of

attending adult day care centers. Palm Beach County’s two adult day care
centers participate in the ACFP. DoEA determines Center’s eligibility for ACFP
participation. ACFP reimbursement is based on the number of enrolled
participants who qualify for free or reduced-priced snacks according to USDA
income eligibility. Sufficient funding is included in the current budget to meet County
obligations. No additional County funds are required. (Division of Senior Services) Countywide

motion to approve:
A) Amendment No. 2 to the Financial Assistance
Award (R2016-0568) with the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and
the City of Lake Worth providing a reverter-related reimbursement provision for
two of the twelve properties; and
B) an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Lake
Worth providing for indemnification of the County by the City as it relates to
Amendment No. 2 to the Financial Assistance Award.
Summary: On February 12,
2016, the City and County received an EDA grant and subsequently executed a
Financial Assistance Award (R2016-0568) for the receipt of $1,389,100 for
infrastructure improvements to the Lake Worth Park of Commerce. The grant provides funding to upgrade
Boutwell Road from 10th Avenue North to Joyce Avenue, and to extend
water and sewer lines along Boutwell Road from Joyce Avenue to 4th
Avenue North. Standard right-of-way
deeds, settlement agreements, or warranty deeds were needed to transfer property
from private owners to the City in order to make infrastructure
improvements. On June 29, 2016, the
parties executed Amendment No. 1 to the Financial Assistance Award to extend
the acquisition deadline of necessary property transfers from August 1, 2016,
to October 12, 2016. Two of the
properties obtained by the City through standard right-of-way deeds contained
language allowing for the reverter of the property back to the transferring
property owners if the property was not used for right-of-way purposes. Required by the EDA, Amendment No. 2 to the
Financial Assistance Award allows EDA to seek reimbursement of grant funds from
the City and County if either of the two properties reverts back to the
transferring owner at any time over the next 20 years. The reimbursement provision in Amendment No.
2 only applies to the properties obtained by right-of-way deeds which include a
reverter clause and their respective proportionate share of grant funds. The Interlocal Agreement indemnifies the
County in the unlikely event the City does not use the property for roadway
purposes, the property reverts back to the transferring owners, and EDA seeks
reimbursement of the related proportionate share of grant funds. No County
local match is required. District 3 (JB)

Rescue Department to provide countywide communications services effective June
1, 2005. The Agreement provides for a contractual commitment for dispatch
services to the City as part of the Countywide Common Dispatch program along
with providing the mechanism for implementing mutual assistance/automatic aid
(closest unit response). The Agreement further authorizes the parties’
respective Fire Chiefs to enter into Letter(s) of Understanding to develop
automatic aid/closest unit response and Common Dispatch plans and procedures.
The current Emergency Services Agreement for Mutual Assistance, Automatic Aid, and
Dispatch Services expired on March 13, 2016. The
retroactive effective date is a result of the City’s delay in the delivery of
the signed Agreement. The proposed Agreement is for a ten year period through
September 30, 2026. Countywide (SB)

motion to approve:
A) a Medicare Enrollment Application for
Clinics/Group Practices and Certain Other Suppliers (Form CMS-855B), and an
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Agreement (Form CMS-588); and
B) the appointment of the Fire-Rescue
Administrator as an Authorized Official to enroll the County (Fire Rescue) in the Medicare program, to make changes
or updates to the County’s status in the Medicare program, and to bind and
commit the County to fully abide by the statutes, regulations, and program
instructions of the Medicare program, including the authority to execute and
submit on the County’s behalf the Medicare Enrollment Application for
Clinics/Group Practices and Certain Other Suppliers (Form CMS‑855B), the
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Agreement (Form CMS‑588), a
letter attesting that the County will be legally and financially responsible
for any outstanding debt owed to CMS (including any potential overpayments),
and any other Medicare applications, contracts, certifications, attestations,
and other related documents.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, all new
and existing Medicare providers are required by the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) to complete a Medicare Enrollment Application to
revalidate the provider information on file with CMS. Approval of the
revalidation enrollment application will prevent the deactivation of our
Medicare enrollment allowing the County to continue to submit fire rescue
emergency transport claims directly to Medicare for those patients with
Medicare insurance. The enrollment package requires the County to directly
appoint an Authorized Official to enroll the County (Fire Rescue) in the Medicare program, to make changes
or updates to the County’s status in the Medicare program, and to bind and
commit the County to fully abide by the statutes, regulations, and program
instructions of the Medicare program.
On December 1, 2016, Fire Rescue received a
notice dated November 14, 2016, from First Coast Service Options, Inc. (a CMS -
Contracted Medicare Administrative Contractor) advising that the revalidation
of our Medicare enrollment record is required by January 31, 2017. Countywide (SB)

with the Health Care District (HCD) of Palm Beach County to add Colocation
Roles, Responsibilities and Expectations;

SUMMARY:
ISS has deemed it
necessary to amend the Interlocal Agreement with the HCD to clearly define the
roles, responsibilities and expectations of ISS as the colocation service
provider and HCD as a colocation tenant. Colocation is a common service where a
business rents space in their data center to a tenant for their servers and
other computing hardware. In addition,
the Board’s delegation of signatory authority is requested to allow the ISS
Director to sign MOU forms for colocation services provided to County
departments and agencies. Countywide (PFK)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Agreement
with Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) to establish the general
conditions and joint processes when providing advocacy services to incarcerated
victims of sexual assault for a three year term beginning January 10, 2017 with
no financial obligations. Summary: DOC is a state agency that
operates five correction facilities in Palm Beach County to include a prison,
release center, and reentry sites. In
order to comply with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) standards, DOC is
seeking to execute an agreement with the Department of Public Safety Division
of Victim Services for advocacy services to incarcerated victims of sexual
assault. With the unique setting of
correction facilities, the agreement is needed to outline the respective
duties, responsibilities, policies, and procedures that will be undertaken by DOC
and the County when providing advocacy services to incarcerated victims of
sexual assault. The Agreement addresses notification, access procedures,
provision of service, confidentiality, logistical, and security needs of the
County. The Agreement aligns with the
PREA standards established by the U.S. Department of Justice, best practices in
the field of sexual violence victim services and is commensurate with sexual
assault services available to the community at large. Countywide (LDC)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the Federally
Funded Public Assistance State Agreement (17-PA-U5-10-60-02-119) (the
“Agreement”) with the State of Florida, Division of Emergency Management to
authorize projects related to Hurricane Matthew and for reimbursement for
eligible project expenses. Summary: On
October 8, 2016, the President of the United States issued a major disaster
declaration designated “FEMA-4283-DR-FL” for the State of Florida as a result
of Hurricane Matthew authorizing Public Assistance funding for eligible Florida
counties. Public Assistance is a federal
grant to aid state and local governments in returning a disaster area to
pre-disaster conditions. The federal
share of the eligible costs under this Agreement is 75% and the nonfederal
share will be the remaining amount.
Payment of a specified portion of the nonfederal share is contingent
upon future State appropriations.
Typically, the State of Florida will contribute a 12.5% share of the
qualified actual expenditures incurred, leaving the County responsible for
absorbing the remaining 12.5%. Countywide (LDC)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: revised Impact Fee Affordable Housing Assistance
Program (IFAHAP) Guidelines. Summary:
On November 17, 2009
(R2009-2013), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorized the use of
impact fee investment earnings from roads, parks, and public buildings for
affordable housing projects. On September 14, 2010, the BCC approved the Impact
Fee Affordable Housing Assistance Program Guidelines which established eligible
uses of the funding; unit affordability standards and the funding request
approval process. Staff has processed six projects under the Program for BCC
approval. In order to improve how future
projects are processed and to clarify the applicable Program requirements, staff is proposing major revisions to the
IFAHAP Guidelines. The revisions
include: an Introduction and Purpose, definitions of certain terms, expansion
of the operating procedures for the Program, expansion of the rental housing
requirements, expansion of the for-sale housing requirements and expansion of
the individual homeowner requirements.
The significant changes in each of the sections are listed in Attachment
1 to the Agenda Item and the updated IFAHAP Guidelines are provided in
Attachment 2 to the Agenda Item. Some of the key recommended changes include
raising the occupant household qualifying income level from 120% to 140% of
area median income, instituting developers and homeowners
repayment requirements in instances of defaults or voluntary withdrawals from
the Program, requiring new affordability periods for successor homeowners and
removing the Commission on Affordable Housing from the funding recommendation

1. Staff requests
Board action to ratify or reject: Side Agreement entitled “Management
Proposal for the Board of County Commissioners Ocean Lifeguards and
Lieutenants” (Side Agreement) with the Communication Workers of America Local
3181 (CWA), providing for the creation of certain new job classifications and
minimum entrance requirements, certain salary increases, a change requiring EMT
certifications, provisions for a defined period of time to obtain EMT
certification for non-certified personnel, provisions for layoff of personnel
if certifications are not obtained, provision for the County’s Human Resources
Director to execute the Application for Special Risk Class Membership under the
Florida Retirement System (FRS) (including Form 405) for subject personnel
following the completion of all required training, purchase of necessary
equipment, and upon performance of new duties associated with new job
classifications, and staff support of
legislation that includes subject personnel as a special risk occupation, as
well as inclusion among those occupations protected as a First Responder. The
total estimated cost for the first full year of implementation, if FRS approval
of Special Risk Class is obtained for the subject personnel, is $783,702, which
will increase annually. SUMMARY: At
the September 27, 2016 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, staff was
directed to evaluate and negotiate pay and job classifications for certain
Ocean Rescue personnel, and bring back a comprehensive package for Board
consideration and direction. The Side Agreement was collectively bargained with
the CWA and ratified by the bargaining unit employees. Matters pertaining to
changes in salary and/or job classifications are subject to collective
bargaining. If the Board ratifies the Side Agreement and the FRS ultimately
approves the subject personnel for the Special Risk Class of membership, the
estimated cost for the first full year of implementation of the comprehensive
total package will be approximately $783,702. The projected cost for FY 2018 is
$856,580, and these costs will increase annually subject to Board approved
salary increases, and FRS funding requirements. Countywide (DO)
