A) adopt a resolution
approving District Four Amendment Number One to the State of Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) Landscape Memorandum of Agreement (Amended LMOA) to
extend the limits for landscaping improvements (Improvements) on State Road
7/US 441 (SR7) from Mile Post 6.624 to Mile Post 8.531; (Eng)
25 3H-3 REVISED MOTION AND SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to approve:
Work Order No. 19-038 to the contract with Anzco, Inc. (R2015-0158)
in the amount of $377,667 for the replacement of the existing boardwalk at
Daggerwing Nature Center with a duration of 240 days from permit issuance. SUMMARY: The prime contractor is an
SBE. The annual contract was presented
to the Goal Setting Committee on January 2, 2019 and an API of Sheltered
Market was applied to all bids under this annual contract for 12 months. An
API of sheltered market was applied to all work orders under $100,000 under
this contract. There is no API
applicable to this work order. The bidder on this work order achieved 100%
SBE participation and has no subcontractors. The overall participation on the
Annual Minor Construction contract is 56.96%. (FDO)
31 3I-7* REVISED MOTION AND SUMMARY: A) ratify the approval of one County employee who received
assistance through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Foreclosure
Prevention Program and seven six County employees who received
assistance through the Workforce Housing Program (WHP); and B) approve
one two County employees scheduled to close in August 2019
through the WHP. SUMMARY: Staff is requesting the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) to ratify the approval of eight seven County
employees who received assistance through the County’s SHIP Foreclosure
Prevention and the WHP Purchase Assistance Programs, and to approve one two
County employees scheduled to receive assistance through the WHP. Due to the nature of the SHIP Foreclosure
Prevention Program, applications are accepted year round. In addition to the
one County employee, DHES has also provided 20 non-County employees with
foreclosure prevention assistance.
Similarly, the WHP applications are also accepted throughout the year
due to the timing constraints associated with selling the obligated units. In addition to the eight County employees,
DHES has also provided 13 47 non-County employees with WHP
assistance (closed and pending closing). Both programs provide a
deferred, forgivable loan for the assistance received. If the homeowner rents, sell, or otherwise
conveys the home during the affordability period, the entire principal amount
will become due and payable. (HES)

motion to approve: a resolution urging the United States Congress to
enact the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act
(TRACED). SUMMARY: On
April 16, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to write a resolution
urging the United States Congress to enact the TRACED Act (Act). The purpose of
the Act is to enable the telecom industry, federal regulators, and the Attorney
General’s office to take meaningful steps to abate the rapid proliferation of
illegal and unwanted robocalls. The Act is designed to reduce the number of
illegal robocalls and fight spoofing, which is the practice of using technology
to disguise the caller’s phone number. This legislation will require
implementation of authentication framework, affirm the authority of a voice
provider to block a call, and create a safe harbor for the inadvertent blocking
of legitimate calls. Countywide (AH)

Florida and serves the entire County. The landlord of the primary building
which houses both the freezer/cooler and administrative offices has told PBCFB
that they must either purchase the building or vacate. The existing facilities
served the initial needs of PBCFB since its founding in 2012, but due to lack
of fundamental components essential to effective food procurement and
distribution, including an up-to-date freezer/cooler and docks, the current
facilities are no longer able to sustain current operations, nor support
expected growth. The PBCFB anticipates its relocation will be complete within
the next 12 months. The balance of the contract not used at the end of FY 2019 will be

motion to execute: a “Certification by
State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or

The Pahokee Housing Authority has prepared its Annual PHA Plan for the Fiscal
Year beginning July 1, 2019. The
Department of Housing and Urban Development requires the County to confirm that
the plans and programs outlined in their Annual PHA Plan are consistent with
those set forth in the County’s Consolidated Plan. Confirmation of this consistency is
documented through a “Certification by State or Local Official of PHA Plans
Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan.” The Department of Housing and Economic
Sustainability has reviewed the Pahokee Housing Authority’s draft Annual PHA
Plan and determined that the goals, objectives and plans outlined therein are
consistent with those outlined in the Palm Beach County FY 2015-2020
Consolidated Plan. The overall goal of
the Pahokee Housing Authority is to serve the housing needs of low-income, very
low-income and extremely low-income families by expanding and upgrading the
supply and quality of its assisted units.
Specifically, the Annual PHA Plan will: target available assistance to
the elderly; continue to prioritize the homeless/chronically homeless for
public housing assistance; award available Section 8 Vouchers to victims of
domestic violence, working families, residents who live or work in the
jurisdiction, single persons who are elderly, homeless, displaced, or have a
disability over other single persons; implement improved safety measures in its
properties; adopt a deconcentration and income targeting policy; implement a
Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Program in its new development activities;
improve the quality and choice of assisted housing; ensure equal opportunity
and affirmatively furthering fair housing; and promote youth programs and
self-sufficiency. The County’s Fiscal Year 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan
identified the City of Pahokee as an area which lacks adequate and suitable
housing and prioritizes the need for affordable rental housing, economic
development and job training, and public services for residents of this area. District

payments in the amount of $40,000 related to the JGI Agreement with TBC. On June 2, 2009, the BCC entered into a Job
Growth Incentive Agreement (R2009-0949) with TBC to provide up to $40,000 in
local matching support under the State’s QTI program. TBC was required to create 50 new jobs with
an average annual salary of $65,200 and to retain 345 jobs. Pursuant to the agreement, TBC was required
to provide an independent audit verifying the schedule of new jobs and average
annualized salary of the new jobs. On
January 15, 2019, the BCC approved to receive and file the Notice of
Termination letter, terminating the agreement due to non-compliance of the audit
requirement. It was determined that TBC had met all other requirements of the agreement. In connection with the BCC’s discussion regarding
the termination of the agreement, staff was directed to revisit the County’s

SUMMARY: Staff is requesting the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to ratify
the approval of eight seven County employees who received
assistance through the County’s SHIP Foreclosure Prevention and the WHP
Purchase Assistance Programs, and to approve one two County
employees scheduled to receive assistance through the WHP. Due to the nature of the SHIP Foreclosure
Prevention Program, applications are accepted year round. In addition to the
one County employee, DHES has also provided 20 non-County employees with
foreclosure prevention assistance.
Similarly, the WHP applications are also accepted throughout the year
due to the timing constraints associated with selling the obligated units. In addition to the eight County employees,
DHES has also provided 13 47 non-County employees with WHP
assistance (closed and pending closing). Both programs provide a
deferred, forgivable loan for the assistance received. If the homeowner rents, sell, or otherwise
conveys the home during the affordability period, the entire principal amount
will become due and payable. The funding provided for the referenced files helped

non-responsive. The second lowest
bidder, HGI, was determined to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.
This Contract was procured under the requirements of the 2002 Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance (R2004-0064) prior to the adoption of the amended

obligations in the operation, repair, and maintenance of the Lake Worth Inlet
Sand Transfer Plant (LWISTP) and adds language to deduct the County’s expenses
associated with the Agreement from County’s share of the Midtown Beach
Nourishment Project (Midtown Project). SUMMARY: On May 3, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved an annual
reallocation of $300,000 from the Midtown Project to fund LWISTP operations and
maintenance in response to a funding request made by the Town. On August 16, 2016, the BCC approved the Agreement to formalize the
partnership which stipulates that the County would operate and maintain the
LWISTP and intended for costs incurred by the County to be deducted from the
County’s share of the Midtown Project.
However, the original contract language made coordination between the
County and the Town difficult as it relates to maintenance and repairs of the
LWISTP and did not recognize the proportional reduction of County costs from
the Midtown Project. Amendment No. 1 clarifies the maintenance and repair responsibilities
and adds necessary language which stipulates that the County shall deduct all
its expenses associated with the operation, administration, repair, and

Project. Specifically, Amendment No. 1
requires the County to perform any maintenance or unanticipated repairs up to

execution to September 30, 2019 to conduct Implicit Bias and Systemic Racism
training for criminal justice personnel and community members within the
County; and
B) approve a waiver of conflict of interest for Barbara
Cheives, President and CEO of Converge & Associates Consulting, Inc., a
Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) member and a subcontracted trainer with REI.
SUMMARY: Providing training on implicit bias and systemic racism is one of five
strategies of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Safety and
Justice Challenge (SJC) Grant Program. Palm Beach County was awarded $2,000,000
from MacArthur on October 2, 2017 to reduce the
county’s jail population of 2,273 by 16.7% by September 30, 2019, through five
strategies identified by the MacArthur Core Team of stakeholders. In January
2019, the Foundation awarded the County a supplemental grant of $75,000 for
community engagement, which includes additional training funds for community
implicit bias training. An emergency contract was required as there was
insufficient time to conduct a bid process and conduct the trainings within the
grant timeline. The Director of the County’s Purchasing Department
executed this agreement pursuant to Palm Beach County Purchasing Policy and
Procedures CW-L-008.This contract will fund 20 three hour
trainings for approximately 1,000 local criminal justice personnel including
judges, prosecutors, private and public defense attorneys, Clerk of Court
staff, County Pretrial Services Program staff, state and county probation
officers and one session for the community. It will also fund three two-day
sessions for selected personnel from these groups and the community. Ms.
Barbara Cheives is a private sector CJC member nominated by the Economic
Council and appointed by the Board pursuant to agenda item 3Q-1 from December
20, 2016. Ms. Cheives’ consulting business provides training across the United
States related to racial equity work. Due to REI’s prior work with the Palm
Beach County School District and others in the county, Ms. Cheives became a
subcontracted trainer for REI prior to the contractual relationship between the
CJC and REI. This contractual relationship prohibition may be waived by the
Board of County Commissioners since the CJC is purely an advisory committee. A
waiver of the conflict of interest at a duly noticed public meeting is being
provided in accordance with the provision of Section 2-443 of the Palm Beach
County Code of Ethics. A waiver of
conflict of interest must be approved by an affirmative vote of a majority plus
one of the total Board membership. The MacArthur grant will fund this
contract. Countywide (LDC)

Medical Services (EMS) Matching Grant, ID Code M6063, from
June 30, 2019 to December 16, 2019. SUMMARY: On

execute certifications, standard forms, reimbursement requests, amendments or documents
relating to work activities and time frames that do not change the general
scope or terms and conditions of the grant (R2018-1065). Due to the need for
time to train and equip Fire Rescue paramedics, as well as hire a program
coordinator, grant related patient contact did not begin until
November 2018. Although the grant time extension process used by the DOH
does not require the County Administrator to execute a time extension document,

to be created as well as the significant economic impact of this project and
the Company’s key role in the County’s economic success and competitiveness. The
Agreement requires the Company to make a minimum $25 Million capital
investment, create 100 new jobs over a three-year period at an annualized
average wage of $91,124 excluding benefits and a median wage of $64,000
excluding benefits. The Company is required to maintain
the new jobs for five years from the date the Agreement becomes effective. This project is estimated to have a
$248 Million economic impact over a five-year period. As required under Palm Beach County’s
Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program implemented by the BCC
through adoption of Ordinance 2013-022, the Company has filed an application
with the Property Appraiser’s (PA) office, and the PA has issued a
determination that the project meets the requirements under Florida Statute
196.012 for an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption (attached as Exhibit B to the proposed

Beach Gardens. Additionally, in Agenda
Item 4C-2, the BCC is being requested to approve a similar ordinance for $3
Million for Project Diamond, which is also being undertaken by the Company.

OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
1. Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on July 2, 2019, at 9:30 a.m.: an ordinance of the Board of the County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 15, Article III of the Palm Beach County Code (Ordinance No. 2014-019, amended by Ordinance No. 2015-035), for Housing and Places of Public Accommodation; amending the definition of sexual orientation; amending the definition of place of public accommodation; amending the definition of an aggrieved person; amending the objectives of the Fair Housing and Public Accommodation Board; amending the administrative remedies and other relief; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for savings clause; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Housing and Places of Public Accommodation Ordinance was established in 1990, to protect the interest of its citizens regarding fair treatment and equal opportunity and access in housing and places of public accommodation. The ordinance was last amended in 2015. This amendment to the Housing and Places of Public Accommodation Ordinance is necessary to add and update definitions and to provide consistency regarding the time limit for complainants to request administrative hearings. This amendment also provides for the Office of Equal Opportunity Director’s input regarding the filing of a Civil Action. Additionally, this amendment will include a provision for the Fair Housing Board to review proposals made by non-profit agencies for funding to improve accessibility and increase the public awareness for persons with disabilities and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. Countywide (DO)
2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
repealing Resolution No. R92-1890 and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: The Board of
County Commissioners (BCC)
adopted Resolution
R92-1890 in December 1992, establishing the duties of the Office of Equal
Opportunity Handicap Accessibility and Awareness Grant Review Committee (Grant
Review Committee). The Grant Review
Committee’s duties include reviewing non-profit agencies’ proposals for funding
to improve accessibility and public awareness for physically disabled persons
in the County, and making recommendations to the BCC on the proposals. However, because the Housing and Places of
Public Accommodation Board (Fair Housing Board) currently performs similar
functions, some of which overlap, staff believes it will be a more effective
and efficient use of County resources to have the Fair Housing Board perform
this function. Countywide (DO)

C. LIBRARY
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve
an overdue fine forgiveness program for the Library Department for the month of
June 2019; and
B) authorize
the County Administrator or designee to waive library overdue fines in
accordance with the parameters of the program.
SUMMARY: As
part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations, the Library Department is
requesting approval to run an overdue fine forgiveness program. If approved, during the month of June 2019,
library cardholders may request forgiveness on outstanding overdue fines that
have been assessed to their account.
This program is intended to restore borrowing privileges to blocked
members and to show appreciation to our residents for their ongoing support of
the Library System. To receive
forgiveness for an overdue fine, the library cardholder may visit a library
location in person, contact us by phone, or use a special online form. Replacement cards will be issued free of
charge upon request. Forgiveness will
not extend to fees for lost or damaged library materials and other fees or
charges. A complete listing of the exact
fines and fees subject to forgiveness is outlined in the overdue fine
forgiveness program document attached to this agenda item. In Fiscal Year 2018,
the library generated $407,686 in overdue fines. With the introduction of automatic renewals
of borrowed items at the start of Fiscal Year 2019, the current six-month
revenue from overdue fines is $105,289, which reflects a 49% reduction in
revenue from overdue fines from the prior year. The only time the Library
Department held a fine forgiveness program was in October 2003. Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to accept: the recommendation of the Special Master denying
the protest of Collage Design & Construction Group, Inc. concerning the
solicitation for Construction Manager at Risk (CM) Services for the Canyon
District Park Project Number 17204. SUMMARY:
On April 18, 2019, proposals were received to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for
CM Services on the Canyon District Park Project (Project). On May 17, 2018, the Shortlist Committee
identified three firms as finalists for the Selection Committee Meeting held on
June 15, 2018. Collage Design &
Construction d/b/a The Collage Companies (Collage) was selected as the highest
ranked proposer. Staff commenced
negotiations, and at the conclusion of those negotiations, prepared a Board
item recommending approval of those items at the September 18, 2018 BCC
meeting. In the week before the BCC
meeting, Staff discovered that the Final Selection Committee had not scored the
criteria category titled Small Business Utilization Plan (SBE Plan) according
to the requirements of the RFP. As such, on September 13, 2018 FDO staff
recommended that the item be deleted from the agenda for further staff review.
The Final Selection Committee met again on October 9, 2018 to re-score only the
criteria where the error occurred. The rescoring resulted in Kaufman Lynn
Construction as the highest ranked proposer and Collage the second ranked
proposer. On October 16, 2018, Collage
submitted a bid protest to the Director of Purchasing and subsequently the
Director of Purchasing denied the protest.
Collage then requested that the protest be heard by a Special Master who
also denied the protest on January 14, 2019. Collage also filed a public
records lawsuit alleging failure to comply with public records requests and
later requested a temporary injunction as expedited relief and also filed an
emergency motion to preserve the status quo to prevent negotiations with
Kaufman Lynn. Both requests for
injunctive relief were denied on April 2, 2019.
Collage has made allegations regarding ethical violations but has not
filed an ethics complaint to date. (FDO/Capital Improvements) Countywide/District
