9.         Staff recommends motion to approve: subordination of utility interests and agreement for reimbursement for additional facility relocations with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) on a parcel of land located near the southeast corner of Okeechobee Boulevard and Haverhill Road. SUMMARY: Approval of the subordination agreement will subordinate interest in two FPL utility easements and allow Palm Beach County to accept a warranty deed for additional right-of-way. As part of the development conditions associated with a convenience store and gas station, the property owners are required to provide the County with 20.50 feet of additional right-of-way on the east side of Haverhill Road. This right-of-way is encumbered by two FPL utility easements. The subordination agreement requires FPL to relocate any facilities it may have from the dedicated right-of-way, when and if requested by the County, and requires the County to pay for reasonable relocation costs of said facilities. The property owners have provided $23,000 to the County for those future costs. District 7 (LBH)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) budget transfer of $6,984,225 within the 68M Public Imp Rev Bond 15A CP, Conv Ctr Garage & Airport Ct Fund;

 

B) budget amendment of $3,064,105 in the 65M NAV 15 DS, Pub Imp Rev Bd, Conv Ctr Gar & Airport Ctr Fund  (Debt Service) to i) recognize the transfer from the 68M Public Imp Rev Bond 15A CP, Conv Ctr Garage & Airport Ct Fund; ii) decrease debt service revenue from TDC 1st Cent fund; and iii) reimburse TDC 1st for prior year debt service costs;

 

C) budget amendment of $3,064,105 in the TDC 1st Cent Fund to: i) recognize the increase in funds from the 68M NAV 15 DS, Public Imp Rev Bd , Conv Ctr Garage & Airport Ct Fund; ii) recognize the decrease in the debt service expense; and iii) increase the expense to the TDC Bldg Renewal and Replacement Fund; and

 

D) budget amendment in the amount of $6,984,225 in the TDC Bldg Renewal & Replacement Fund to recognize increased transfer from the TDC 1st Cent Fund and  allocate budget to  Convention Center (R/R) Projects; Convention Center Expansion Project; and Roger Dean (R/R) Projects.

 

SUMMARY:  On April 7, 2015, the Board approved a bond entitled “68M Public Imp Rev Bond 15A CP, Conv Ctr Garage & Airport Ct” providing proceeds for the Airport Center Building II renovations and the Convention Center Parking Garage.  The Airport Center Building II project is complete, with no significant funds remaining.  However, the Convention Center Parking Garage account is projected to have approximately $9,300,000 remaining at the completion of the project.  The amount of the funding remaining is primarily due to the garage being 90 spaces less than originally planned, value engineering and sales tax savings, and not having to use as much of the project contingency as originally planned.  Since the remaining proceeds can only be used for the Parking Garage, Staff is recommending that $6,984,225 of the remaining proceeds be used to fund debt service and bond interest expenses with the equivalent amount of 1st Cent Bed Tax used to fund other 1st Cent projects.  Bond counsel has approved the use of the proceeds to fund debt service. The $6,984,225 in TDC 1st Cent funding will be allocated to two projects:  Convention Center Renewal/Replacement in the amount of $2,873,000 and Convention Center Expansion in the amount of $4,111,225.  The difference between the remaining funds and the $6,984,225 is anticipated to be sufficient to fund the Convention Center Parking Garage R/R throughout the life of the facility. The remaining action items transfer monies from; 1) the 1st and 4th Cent Special Reserves to the Convention Center Expansion Project ($913,974) and Roger Dean R/R ($618,274) projects, and 2) Convention Center Parking Garage R/R to Convention Center Expansion ($5,000,000). These amendments and transfers essentially reconstitute the “pool” R/R funding approach of the Special Reserve approved by the Board on 3/17/09 to a project specific approach which will better serve the TDC into the future by strategically allocating available proceeds amongst forecast projects and expenses.  When the Special Reserve was first established, it was thought to be sufficient for the R/R expenses at the Convention Center and Roger Dean through 2014. Through proper management of these two facilities, the Special Reserve and the proceeds from the Convention Center and Convention Center Parking Garage construction projects; the County has not only funded the R/R for the two original projects through 2020, but also now has sufficient funding to establish the Convention Center Expansion project account with a starting balance of $10,025,199.  (FDO Administration) (Countywide/District 7) (DB)
