12 2E-Dist
3 ADD-ON: Request for off-site Proclamation declaring October 5-6,
2019 as National Firefighter Memorial Weekend in Palm Beach County
55 3L-2* REVISED SUMMARY: Olsen has
planned to achieve 50.6% cumulative SBE-M/WBE participation on the contract,
including this task order. FEMA Project Worksheet #04068 has identified
$22.9 million for Hurricane Irma damages to facilitate reimbursement of Project

62 3X-1 DELETED FOR FURTHER STAFF REVIEW: Staff recommends motion to: A) receive and file executed
Amendment 2 for Subcontract (#18SAS26) with the Florida Council Against Sexual
Violence (FCASV) in the amount of $202,789 to define tasks and deliverables for
the period of August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020, to provide sexual assault
services for adult, youth, and child victims; and (Public Safety)
80 5B-2 REVISED MOTION: Staff
recommends motion to: A) adopt a
resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
recommending approval of Project League, a company authorized to do business in
the State of Florida, as a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) business pursuant
to Section 288.106, Florida Statues; providing
for local financial support for the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program
High Impact Sector Bonus not to exceed $21,000 over a six year period;
providing for severability; providing for an effective date; and (HES)
80 5B-3 REVISED MOTION AND SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve: A) the Contract for Sale and Purchase form for use in conjunction with the
sale of affordable and workforce housing units acquired by the County in
Silverwood Estates; B) acceptance of deposits and sales proceeds
from homebuyers; and C) delegation of authority to the County
Administrator or designee to execute all documents related to the sale of the
aforesaid housing units. SUMMARY: Staff recommends the Board of County
Commissioners’ (BCC) approval of the Contract for Sale and Purchase form for
use in conjunction with the sale of affordable and workforce housing units
acquired by the County in Silverwood Estates and acceptance of deposits
and sales proceeds from homebuyers. In
June of 2019, the County acquired six units from Lennar Homes, LLC, in the
Silverwood Estates development, and is currently in the process of selling
those units to qualified buyers as part of the Workforce Housing Program
Financial Assistance Strategy. If
approved, this sales contract form will be used as the agreement for those
sales. The funds received by the County
resulting from the sale of these units will be returned to the Workforce
Housing Trust Funds. Additionally,
the County also receives properties via foreclosure or escheatment. When sold the Department of Housing and
Economic Sustainability would use the same sales contract, using the
appropriate housing program language. (HES)
85 5E-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve:
a Temporary Easement Agreement for Construction Access and Staging
(Agreement) with the City of Boynton Beach (City) for the Ocean Ridge Shore
Protection Project (Project), beginning upon execution and terminating in two
years. SUMMARY: The Agreement grants
the County and its assigns an easement through Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park
(BBOP) to transport construction equipment and materials onto and off the beach
during mobilization, construction, and demobilization of the Project and grants
a staging area for equipment and materials in support of the Federal Shore
Protection Project. On September 2, 2019, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
notified the County that a fully executed Agreement must be received by
September 11, 2019, or the Federal solicitation for this 100% federally funded
Project will be modified to include the Project as an optional line item. Identifying the project as an optional line
item may jeopardize the construction and funding of the Project if the
contractor experiences construction delays with other projects included in the
solicitation. Due to time constraints
imposed by USACE, the City has placed the Agreement on a special meeting agenda
for the evening of September 10, 2019.
The expedited schedule will require BCC approval of the Agreement prior
to the City execution; however, the City has expressed their intent to
cooperate in a Letter of Support to the USACE.
Final execution by the County will not occur until after City
execution. The Agreement will continue
in effect until September 10, 2021. There is no cost to the County. District 4 (SS)
(ERM)
85 5F-1 ADD-ON:
Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
resolution providing for an exemption from general aviation landing fees and
fuel flowage fees for hurricane relief flights to the Bahamas; providing for
severability; and providing for an effective date and expiration date. SUMMARY:
This resolution provides for an exemption from the payment of general aviation
landing fees at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) and from the payment
of fuel flowage fees at PBI and the Palm Beach County Park Airport (Lantana
Airport), North County General Aviation Airport (North County Airport) and Palm
Beach County Glades Airport (Pahokee Airport) for flights providing
humanitarian relief to the Bahamas in response to Hurricane Dorian. General
aviation landing fees and fuel flowage fees are collected by fixed base
operators on behalf of Palm Beach County. Fixed base operators will be
required to provide documentation to the Department of Airports regarding all
exempt flights to ensure the exemptions are limited to flight operations being
conducted for humanitarian purposes at no cost or expense to the victims of
Hurricane Dorian. Fixed base operators at the County’s airports have begun
assisting in coordination of hurricane relief and recovery flights to the
Bahamas. In order to support hurricane relief and recovery flights, the
Department of Airports is recommending humanitarian flights to the Bahamas be
exempt from general aviation landing fees and fuel flowage fees. The effective
date of this resolution will be retroactive to September 4, 2019, when
hurricane relief flights commenced and will expire on September 30, 2020. Countywide (AH) (Airports)
85 5G-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to: A)
adopt a resolution authorizing participation in the Public Emergency
Medical Transportation (PEMT) supplemental payment program for Medicaid managed
care patients; delegating authority to execute Letter(s) of Agreement (LOA)
with the State of Florida relating to intergovernmental transfers to the State;
and delegating authority to execute other documents necessary to participate in
this program; and B) approve a
budget transfer of $400,000 within the Fire/Rescue MSTU Fund (Fund 1300) in
FY 2020 to fund intergovernmental transfer(s) required for the PEMT
supplemental payment program for Medicaid managed care patients. SUMMARY:
Recently, the State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)
established a Medicaid supplemental program to address Medicaid payment
inadequacy. The Florida Medicaid Managed Care Supplemental Payment Program
(also known as the MCO program) will allow qualifying government owned
ambulance providers to receive supplemental payments for emergency transports
of Medicaid managed care patients. In order to guarantee Federal share funding,
intergovernmental transfers (IGT) from PEMT providers are required to cover the
State’s share of the MCO program. It is expected that for each $1 provided by
the IGT, approximately $2.60 will be received in revenue, for an estimated net
revenue of $600,000. As of September 6, 2019, the LOA to be executed
has not been received from AHCA; however, the deadline to return the LOA
remains October 1, 2019. Countywide (SB) (Fire Rescue)

2. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: two executed indemnification agreements received during the months of
June 2019 and July 2019 between Florida Resiliency and Energy District (FRED)
and Palm Beach County, Florida and between Florida PACE Funding Agency (FPFA)
and Palm Beach County, Florida. SUMMARY: The Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) has authorized a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
program for third parties to provide funding for energy efficiency, renewable
energy, and wind resistant improvements for residential and commercial
properties by levying non-ad valorem assessments on property owners’ tax bills.
The County enters into interlocal agreements with multiple PACE
agencies/authorities/ districts (District) for them to provide the financing
for qualifying improvements. Having more than one District encourages
competition and provides consumer choice. FRED is a District seeking to add
Greenworks Lending as a PACE administrator for commercial projects. The County
Administrator signed an indemnification agreement (Indemnification Agreement 1)
between the County and Greenworks Lending on June 27, 2019, which acknowledges
that Greenworks Lending is a third-party administrator for FRED and that
Greenworks Lending agrees to indemnify and hold the County harmless as
Greenworks Lending assists FRED. Additionally, FPFA is a District seeking to
add Energy Efficient Equity (E3) as a PACE administrator for commercial
projects. The County Administrator signed an indemnification agreement
(Indemnification Agreement 2) between the County and E3 on July 26, 2019, which
acknowledges that E3 is a third-party administrator for FPFA and that E3 agrees
to indemnify and hold the County harmless as E3 assists FPFA. Countywide

SUMMARY: The WRTF is comprised of a total of 28
representatives (14 members and 14 designated alternates for each seat). The 14
seats are as follows: six City elected officials; one County Commissioner (or
their appointee); one water and/or wastewater provider or utility official; one
Lake Worth Drainage District representative; one drainage/ water control
district elected official; one South Florida Water Management District
Governing Board member; one environmental representative; one land owner in
Palm Beach County actively farming that land to represent agricultural
interests; and one Indian Trail Improvement District (ITID) representative. The
diversity of the current 11 WRTF members and 8 alternates is as follows: 19
Caucasian (100%). The gender ratio (female:male) is 3:16. One of the League of
Cities appointees being recommended is a Caucasian female. The other two
appointments and the two reappointments being recommended are Caucasian males. Since
there are two reappointments and the appointee for member Seat No. 2 is
vacating alternate Seat No. 6, seven alternate seats and the water/wastewater
provider/utility official member seat remain vacant at this time. Staff is
actively seeking to increase diversity on this board. Countywide (MJ)

Commissioners directed staff to write a resolution urging the United States
Congress to support legislation that will enhance and expand coverage under the
Mental Health Parity and Substance Use Disorder Act. Congress passed the landmark Mental Health Parity and
Addiction Equity Act of 2008, with overwhelming bipartisan support to end
discrimination in mental health and substance use disorder insurance coverage,
and President George W. Bush signed it into law on October 3, 2008. Despite the
2008 law, lack of mental health parity continues to limit
insurance-covered access to care, which causes personal suffering and
other handicaps, economic and legal burdens, and a loss of productivity for
those persons so affected, as well as our entire community. Countywide

to $480,000; and
B) a budget transfer of
$80,000 within the Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund from reserves to increase the
budget for the Project.
SUMMARY: Approval of the amendment and budget transfer
will increase the funding for the Project from $400,000 to $480,000. The
increase in cost is due to additional drainage repair costs and higher unit
construction costs in our annual construction contracts. The $80,000 will be
transferred from the Engineering Department’s IST Reserve account. The Sales

As part of the development conditions associated with Haverhill Commons, the property owners are required to provide the County with 12 feet of additional right-of-way on North Haverhill Road, north of Okeechobee Boulevard. This right-of-way is encumbered by 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.

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) traffic signal cabinets in western
Palm Beach County; and
B) authorize the County
Administrator or designee to execute a Community Aesthetic Feature Agreement
with Transportation FDOT for a term of 25 years.
SUMMARY: In November 2002,
the voters of Palm Beach County approved the passage of the Recreational and
Cultural Bond Issue which included $1,000,000 for public art projects to be
sited throughout Palm Beach County. In January 2004, the County’s Public Art
Committee recommended the Board approve eight projects including a Lake Region
Communities (Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay) art trail with a budget of
$125,000. Traffic signal cabinets have been identified as a fitting “canvas”
for art installation because they are located in highly visible intersections
accessible to residents of and visitors to the Lake Region/Glades Communities,
and also due to the popularity of such installations both locally and
nationwide. Facilities Development &
Operations (FDO) proposes to commission a project entitled Outside the Box to enhance streetscapes and celebrate historical
and contemporary aspects of the Lake Region/Glades Communities by transforming
traffic signal cabinets into vibrant artworks in municipal and unincorporated
areas of Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay. Of the 36 traffic signal cabinets
that would serve as the “canvas” for art wrap installations, 23 are owned by
FDOT and the remainder are owned by Palm Beach County. Prior to art installation on FDOT’s cabinets,
FDOT requires a resolution approving the project with a County commitment to
fund all design, installation and maintenance, as well as execution of a
standard Community Aesthetic Feature Agreement.
Installations are anticipated to occur in the spring or early summer of
2020. Project funding is from proceeds of the 2003 Recreational and Cultural
Bond Issue. (FDO Admin) District 6 (MJ)

SUMMARY: On July 10, 2018, the Board approved the annual overhead door
replacement contract with two contractors participating. Work is awarded as
work orders on a lump-sum, competitively quoted basis among the pool of
pre-qualified overhead door contractors. Beginning on January 1, 2019, the
County began implementing the requirements of the new Equal Business
Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance. For annual construction contracts, these
requirements are implemented through, including the requirements, in each and
every work order. These Amendments will incorporate those EBO requirements in
the contract so that the work orders can be streamlined and ensure all contractors
participating in this contract (one more contract added today) are responding
to the same work order package. This will also make it easier for contractors
to respond and for staff to prepare projects for advertisement, both reducing
errors by contractors and staff. These amendments
also early implement the renewal option of these contractors through July 9,
2023, so that the terms of all three contractors are the same. During the term
of the contracts, the County awarded $425,194 in work orders. The Goal Setting
Committee set an Affirmative Procurement Initiative as Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) Sheltered Market when there are four or more SBE contractors
under this contract for work orders under $100,000 and a SBE Price Preference.

motion to approve: Amendment No. 3 to the contracts for environmental
assessment services on a continuing contract basis from September 22, 2019 to
September 20, 2020:
A) AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (R2015-1253), Non-SBE/Local, 10% SBE

C) Partner Assessment Corporation d/b/a Partner Engineering and Science,
Inc. (fka Eco Advisors, LLC) (R2015-1255), Non-SBE/Local, 67.86% SBE
participation to date.
SUMMARY: Amendment No. 3 extends the term
of three contracts for environmental assessment services for one year through
September 21, 2020. The Board approved annual contracts on September 22,
2015, and the original contracts provided for an initial two year term with
three renewal options each for a period of one year. Amendment No. 3 will
provide services during the third and final renewal period from September 22,
2019 through September 21, 2020. During the first four years of these
contracts, AECOM Technical Services, Inc. was awarded $241,977, Terracon
Consultants, Inc. was awarded $373,414 and Partner Assessment Corporation d/b/a
Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (fka Eco Advisors, LLC) was awarded
$208,484 in Consultant Services Authorizations. The Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance is 15%.
The contract with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. committed to an SBE
participation goal of 19%; Terracon Consultants, Inc. 15%; and Partner
Assessment Corporation d/b/a Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (fka Eco
Advisors, LLC) 93%, respectively. SBE
attainment and value of work by each consultant is a direct function of
specific project assignments, scope of work, availability of SBE subconsultants
and subcontractors, and the overall contract approach for project
completion. Continuous efforts are made
during the assignment and performance of work to achieve SBE commitments and
maintain a balanced work distribution.
However, there are factors that are beyond the control of the
consultants and staff, such as the nature of testing required. SBE subcontractor participation was to be
achieved through the use of two SBE testing labs, but the tests required by
more recent incidents has required specialized analysis that is beyond the
capabilities of the SBE labs and therefore required performance by a non-SBE
lab. The Office of Equal Business Opportunity has been made aware of all the
reasons for low SBE participation and for those reasons has no objection to the
renewal. Staff is committed to assigning work during the renewal term to be as
responsive to the current work imbalance and SBE attainment as possible given
the nature of the work presented. To
date, each of these firms has successfully provided the professional services
required by the County in a timely manner, and they remain committed to
continue delivering the professional services required by the County. (Capital

new HVAC unit, electrical work and the installation of a new concrete wall
enclosure. The HVAC unit serves as an emergency backup for the existing
Information System Services (ISS) computer vault. The new HVAC unit is located
on the exterior of the EOC, requiring a screened wall enclosure. The new
enclosure is required by code, as well as, provides security for the new unit
and provides acoustical properties when the equipment is running. This work
order was solicited pursuant to the minor construction annual contract and the
requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance. The annual contract was presented to the Goal
Setting Committee on January 2, 2019 and an Affirmative Procurement Initiative
of Sheltered Market was applied for projects under $100,000. Since this project is greater than $100,000
sheltered market did not apply. Allsite
Construction, Inc., is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and a Palm Beach

authorizing an Amended and Restated
Lease Agreement with the School Board of Palm Beach County (School
Board) for its continued use of approximately 10,266 SF of land and a 3,000
SF+/- building located at 4400 Australian Avenue, West Palm Beach, for
educational services and programs for at-risk youths; and
B) approve an Amended and
Restated Lease Agreement with the School Board extending until February 22,
2029, for $1 per year.
SUMMARY: On February 23, 2010, the Board approved an Agreement of Lease
(R2010-0256) for a 3,000 SF+/- County owned building and a total of 10,266
SF+/- of land currently supporting three School Board owned portable
classrooms. The School Board utilizes the building and portable classrooms to
provide educational services and truancy programs to at risk youths at the
Sabal Palm/High Ridge School. On May 1,
2012, a First Amendment (R2012-0631) modified the term from automatic renewals
on a year-to-year basis to a fixed term of ten years expiring on February 22,
2022, to coincide with the useful life of portable classrooms the School Board
intended to replace. Lack of funding has
delayed replacing the portable classrooms and the School Board has requested a
seven-year extension to the term to support its investment. This Amended and
Restated Lease Agreement replaces the existing Agreement of Lease, extends the
term through February 22, 2029, updates County standard provisions, and retains
the delegated authority to the Director of Facilities Development &

General Contractors, LLC
SUMMARY: On December 15, 2015, the Board
approved the annual roofing contract with seven contractors participating. Work is awarded as work orders on a lump sum,
competitively quoted basis among the pool of pre-qualified roofing
contractors. Beginning on January 1,
2019, the County began implementing the requirements of the new Equal Business
Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance. For annual construction contracts, these
requirements are implemented in each and every work order. These amendments
will incorporate those EBO requirements in the contract so that the work orders
can be streamlined and ensure all contractors participating in this contract
are responding to the same work order package. This will also make it easier
for contractors to respond and for staff to prepare projects for advertisement,
both reducing errors by contractors and staff.
Firms may become pre-qualified and join the bidding pool at any time
during the term. These amendments also
early implement the remaining renewal option of these contractors through
December 14, 2020, since renewal options are no longer required as contractors
are allowed to enter the bidding pool at any time. During the term of the contracts, the County
awarded $2,692,006 in work orders. The Goal Setting Committee set an
Affirmative Procurement Initiative as Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Price
Preference. The cumulative SBE
participation for all work orders to-date is 75.07%. Projects are bid among the
pre-qualified participants. (Capital Improvements) Countywide (LDC)

SUMMARY: On April 10, 2018, the Board approved the annual demolition contract
with eight contractors participating. Since approval, the number of
participating contractors remains at eight with one contractor being added and
one contractor opting not to renew. Work
is awarded as work orders on a lump sum, competitively quoted basis among the
pool of pre-qualified demolition contractors.
Beginning on January 1, 2019, the County began implementing the

requirements are implemented in each and every work order. These amendments will incorporate those EBO
requirements in the contract so that the work orders can be streamlined and

today) are responding to the same work order package. This will also make it
easier for contractors to respond and for staff to prepare projects for advertisement,
both reducing errors by contractors and staff.
These amendments also early implement the renewal option of these
contractors through April 9, 2023, so that the terms of all ten contractors are
the same. During the term of the
contracts, the County awarded $70,828 in work orders. The Goal Setting Committee set an Affirmative

Since approval, the number of participating contractors has increased to

the United States of America (Department of the Army) and Palm Beach County
(PBC), Florida for Rehabilitation of a Federal Hurricane/Shore Protection
Project, including the Jupiter/Carlin, Ocean Ridge, and Delray Beach Segments
of the PBC, Florida Shore Protection Project; and
B)
authorize the County
Administrator or designee to sign all future time extensions, task assignments,
certifications, and other forms associated with these Agreements, and any
necessary minor amendments that do not substantially change the scope of work,

SUMMARY: These 100% federally funded Agreements are provided by the United States
Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE)
Program for recovery of damages sustained on three federally authorized County
beach renourishment projects during the passage of Hurricane Irma. The Agreements provide an estimated
$16,458,000, $8,955,000, and $8,285,000 for the Jupiter/Carlin, Ocean Ridge,
and Delray Beach Shore Protection Projects, respectively. USACE will directly
contract construction of these projects in winter 2019/2020 using existing
state and federal permits. USACE’s timeframe for execution of these
Agreements did not allow for prior approval by the Board of County
Commissioners and any delay in execution would have jeopardized the federal
funding. In order to meet USACE
construction contract award deadlines, Mayor Bernard signed the Agreements on
behalf of the Board as authorized by PBC Administrative Code, Section 309. The

including the accretion of sand encroaching on the Phil Foster Snorkel Trail
and adjacent eastern navigation channel. The proposed Project intends to
improve navigation in the designated eastern channel. The project will also
allow for increased accessibility to the interior of the shoal for recreational
boaters and law enforcement. A central flushing channel will also be restored
to improve tidal exchange and water quality in the northern Lake Worth Lagoon
(LWL). The dredged material will be used as fill for habitat restoration in the
LWL. The Board of County

authorize the County
Administrator or designee to execute both grant awards, amendments, documents,
and electronic grant reporting forms, related to these grants, on behalf of the

SUMMARY: Palm Beach
County was allocated $322,532 in Federal FY2018 (County FY2019) funds as part
of the JAG Program (CFDA#16.738) for expenditures through September 30,
2019. A grant adjustment notice will be
submitted to extend the grant period through March 2020. The Criminal Justice
Commission (CJC) approved recommendations made by the CJC’s Finance Committee
to allocate these funds to the existing Palm Beach County Reentry Program in
the amount of $272,532 and the PalmFUSE Program in the amount of $50,000. The
Reentry Program provides transitional services to juveniles and adults
reentering society from jail and prison. The grant funding allocated to reentry
funds two full-time Reentry Program Coordinator (pay grade 35) positions, one
new temporary professional position, and contractual service with providers for
outreach services, case management, and support services. The PalmFUSE Program
seeks to break the cycle of incarceration and homelessness among individuals
with complex behavioral health challenges. The grant funding allocated to
PalmFUSE funds a portion of a 100% grant funded FUSE Program Coordinator (pay
grade 30) position. The emergency
procedure was used because of the limited time for submission of the grant
applications due July 31, 2019 following the funding announcement. The JAG funds were held nationwide until June 26,
2018 due to a federal lawsuit. This award will retroactively compensate the
County for the program expenditures during County FY19. On April 3, 2019, the
CJC received notice from FDLE of the release of these funds. No local match is

SUMMARY: In December
1994, the Board authorized Fire Rescue to transport critically ill/injured patients
and bill for those services. The County contracts with a private company for
these billings and collections services. The County receives payment from a
number of sources, including commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and
private individuals. During the period October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015,
Fire Rescue generated $48,235,380.69 in gross transport billings and collected
(to-date) $23,258,316.14. After adjustments of $11,392,819.44, required under
the guidelines of the Medicare/Medicaid programs, the balance of $13,584,245.11
is currently deemed to be uncollectible. This balance is primarily due to
partial payments, insurance denial based on medical necessity, the inability to
obtain accurate patient and/or insurance information, and patients without
medical coverage or high deductibles. Staff recommends the amount deemed

either party. The Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County requested
separate Agreements to facilitate their internal billing and contract

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County Division of Justice Services
subcontracts with reentry providers to coordinate adult and juvenile reentry

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) the second annual option to renew the Administrative Services Only (ASO)
Agreement (R2017-1607) dated October 17, 2017 with Cigna Health and Life
Insurance Company (CHLIC) for claims administration for the County’s
self-funded Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Point of Service (POS)
health insurance plans for the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020
(plan year 2020);
B) the introduction of a third medical plan, by adding an Open Access Plus
In Network (OAPIN) option to the existing HMO and POS health insurance plans;
C) CHLIC’s proposed administrative fees, access fees, utilization fees,
disease management fees, estimated at $1,800,992, and specific stop loss
premiums estimated at $503,047 for the County’s self-funded HMO, POS and OAPIN
health insurance plans for plan year 2020;
D) the actuarial rates per coverage tier for the County’s self-funded HMO,
POS, and new OAPIN health insurance plans for plan year 2020; and
E) employee wellness participation cash incentives in the amount of $25 per
employee for completion of the online Health Risk Assessment and $25 per
employee for participation in a biometric screening that meets the requirements
of the County’s wellness program.
SUMMARY: Staff recommends Board approval of
the second annual option to renew the ASO Agreement with CHLIC for the period
January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 on behalf of the employees of the
Board of County Commissioners, Supervisor of Elections, and Palm Tran, Inc.
(collectively participating in the plan through the provisions of Interlocal
Agreement (R2002-2287). The total
projected claims and administrative expenses for plan year 2020 is $71,702,851,
which represents a decrease of $3,004,143 over the actuary’s projected cost of
the expiring plan year. This includes expected claims of $70,532,831, fixed
administrative, access, utilization, and disease management fees of $1,800,992,
and stop loss insurance costs of $503,047 paid to CHLIC. Based on the contract
negotiated following a competitive Request for Proposal that includes level ASO
and administrative fees beginning January 1, 2018 and for five years, the fixed
ASO/Access fees of $1,800,992 represent a flat renewal over the expiring
contract. Specific stop loss premiums
are increasing 2.73% ($18,804 annual increase over prior year projections), with
an increase of the specific excess insurance cap (stop loss insurance) from
$600,000 to $625,000 per claim for plan year 2020. Specific stop loss coverage
protects the County against catastrophic claim losses and the premium is
estimated at $503,047 for 2020. Staff is recommending the addition of a third
medical plan option for Plan Year 2020.
CHLIC included a proposal for an Open Access Plan with a National
Network with the most recent Request for Proposal, as an option for the County
to exercise. The County will receive an increase of $75,000 in the annual wellness
allowance to an annual amount of $175,000. Staff is not recommending changes to
County or employee funding for the HMO and POS plans. Staff recommends that the
OAPIN rates will be subject to the same employer funding as for the HMO plan,
with the exception of the OAPIN Employee Only coverage tier to keep the
relative value of the employee contributions between the plans in line, at a
projected cost to the County of $20,000 for the plan year. The actuary has certified that the program
remains in a strong financial position and is projected to remain so through
2020 under the recommended rating actions and will be sufficiently funded to maintain
the required margin for the Office of Insurance Regulation safe harbor surplus
threshold. Staff will closely monitor health fund financial performance and may
find it necessary to recommend plan and/or premium changes in a future plan
year, should claims trend higher. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund
the program. Countywide (HH)

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the 2019 update to the
Title VI Program for Palm Tran public transportation services; establishing an
effective date. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County is a recipient of Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) grants to operate the County's public
transportation services, and is obligated to demonstrate compliance with
the requirements outlined in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which
prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin. As
such, the County submits a formal Title VI Program to the FTA every three years
incorporating necessary updates to fulfill all Federal obligations. The last
update was submitted in 2016. The 2019 update includes all of the requirements
outlined in FTA Circular 4702.1B, which was published on October 12, 2012, and identifies
the policies and procedures that will be taken to ensure that Palm Tran
provides services without excluding or discriminating on the grounds of race,
color or national origin, or without creating additional barriers to accessing
services and activities. The update must be approved by the Board of County
Commissioners prior to submittal to FTA. The County's current Title VI Program

(R2017-1092) with the Village of Wellington extending a partnership that
has been in place since 2003 to provide paratransit services to
residents who are outside of the ADA core service area. The County, for reasons
of efficiency and economies of service, redefined the ADA core service area in
FY 2003, eliminating a portion of the ADA core area in the Village of
Wellington. The original partnership (R2003-2073) was formed after the County
redefined the ADA core service area to exclude the Village of Wellington.
Currently, Palm Tran provides an average of 735 trips per month to Village of

SUMMARY:
On March 11, 2019, the
Youth Services Department issued a Request for Proposals for Community Based
Agency (CBA) funding for three years, beginning in FY2020. Proposals were accepted for the Ensure Safety
and Justice Action Area identified as a priority in the Youth Master Plan

intervention and alternatives to crime and strengthening prevention efforts to
deter entry into the delinquency system. On June 18, 2019, the Board of County
Commissioners conceptually approved the recommended funding allocations to the
above agencies. At the meeting, the Board asked Children of Inmates,
Incorporated to consider the inclusion of young women to complement the Boyz to
Men program. Children of Inmates has included a Girlz to Women program with no
additional costs. Funding for these CBAs comes from existing budget previously
used to fund five contracts transferred from Community Services (under the

DD. SHERIFF
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) receive and file the third and fourth FDLE quarterly payments; and
B) approve a budget amendment to reduce the grant award budget amount from
$400,000 to $376,515 in the Sheriff’s Grant Fund.
SUMMARY: The Florida Department of

laboratories in the State of Florida, including Palm Beach County. The Palm
Beach County Sheriff’s Office operates the Palm Beach County Crime Laboratory.
The grant award was accepted by the BCC on March 12, 2019 (R2019-0365). Since
the total award is not known in advance, $400,000 was budgeted in the Sheriff’s
Grant Fund. The total final amount received is $376,514.46. Thus, the budget needs to be amended to
reconcile the budget amount with the actual grant value. There is no match requirement

A. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) recognize a revenue deficit in the FY 2019 Community Services budget in the
approximate amount of $1,675,034 due to failure of the Area Agency on Aging of
Palm Beach/Treasure Coast, Inc. (Area Agency on Aging) to meet financial
obligations related to payments for services under the following contracted
programs:
Alheimer’s Disease Initiative $409,901.93
Community Care for the Elderly $449,658.72
Home Care for the Elderly $ 980.60
Older American’s Act $814,493.27
B)
terminate Financially
Assisted Agencies (FAA) Contract #R2017-1674 with the Area Agency on Aging as
of September 30, 2019, and provide written notice to the Agency pursuant to
Article 25 of the subject contract which allows for termination by the County
with or without cause immediately upon written notice to the Agency;
C)
authorize the continuation
of supportive services to elderly Palm Beach County residents by Division of
Senior Services (DOSS) utilizing State and Federal funding and County matching
funds pursuant to terms of active, current contracts with the Area Agency on
Aging and subject to spending authorizations included in the FY 2020 County
budget; and
D)
authorize staff to pursue
outstanding balances owed to the County for DOSS services rendered in FY 2019.
SUMMARY: The Area
Agency on Aging is currently unable to meet its contractual financial
obligations to the County in accordance with the terms of various contracts
that provide for payments to the County for services delivered in FY 2019 under
programs described in this item. They are in default of compensation provisions
of the contracts with the County and sections of Florida Statutes related to
prompt payment. The actions recommended in this Board item will allow for
continued delivery of services to seniors by the County and future
reimbursements to the County from the Area Agency on Aging for services
rendered under current active contracts. Motion B), if approved by the Board,
would terminate FAA Contract No. R2017-1674 one year early and indefinitely
continue the pending status of the associated FAA program funding allocation
for FY 2020. Motion D) will authorize staff to continue to pursue outstanding
balances owed to the County. The Area Agency on Aging is reorganizing under new
leadership and increased oversight from the Florida Department of Elder
Affairs. Current invoices are being paid and they remain the State-designated
entity for distribution of State and Federal funding under the designated elder
programs. Countywide (RPB)

an Economic Development Incentive for Project League. Project League is contemplating establishing
its national headquarters in Palm Beach County.
The project will invest $1,350,000 to lease, make renovations to, and
equip a 12,500 square-foot facility. The
project will create 30 new jobs over a three-year period at an annualized
average wage of $95,550 and an annualized median wage of $80,000. The estimated five-year local economic impact
is $55.6 million. Project League qualifies for the Qualified Target Industry

Legislature. The company is being
offered an incentive not to exceed $210,000. Of this amount, $168,000 is from
the State of Florida; and $42,000 is a required match from local government
entities. Palm Beach County and the City of Boca Raton will equally share the
required local match. Palm Beach County
will provide its portion of the local match as a cash grant in an amount not to
exceed $21,000. The cash grant will be: paid over a period of six years,

SUMMARY: On August 2, 2019, a request was received from the owner of the Subject
Property by Palm Beach County’s Department of Housing and Economic
Sustainability (DHES) to designate the Subject Property as a Brownfield
Area. This designation requires two
public hearings, one of which must be held after 5:00 pm per Section 125.66,
Florida Statutes, which is cross-referenced in Section 376.80, Florida
Statutes, unless the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), by a majority plus
one vote, elects to conduct that hearing at another time of day. The BCC has in the past approved waivers of
this nature. The Subject Property was
formerly operated as a golf course and is impacted by arsenic in the soil and
groundwater. Richman Boca Dunes
Development Partners, LLC and Richman Boca Dunes Development Partners II, LLC
(collectively, Boca Dunes) plans to develop the Subject Property as a
residential community. The rezoning of the northern 55.75 acres of the Golf
Course was approved by the Board of County Commissioners at the January 24,
2019 BCC Zoning Hearing via Resolution R2019-0179. The Preliminary Master Plan approved,

C. LIBRARY
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve submittal of an Application to the U.S. Department of State
Passport Services to participate in the Passport Application Acceptance
Program; and
B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to
sign the program application once all necessary staff training is complete.
SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Main Library is
located in a service area that has been identified by the U.S. Department of
State with a need for additional Passport Acceptance Facilities. A
Passport Acceptance Facility is a public sector office that is designated to
accept and execute passport applications on behalf of the U.S. Department of
State. Passport Acceptance Facilities verify the information of applicants
using Form DS-11, which includes all first time applicants and all minors. The
verified applications are sent to the U.S. Department of State where the paperwork
is processed and the passport is issued if the customer is deemed eligible by
the Federal government. In order to be
considered as an acceptance facility, designated library staff members will
complete the online Passport Application Acceptance Training. The Library will
require appointments from the public and will set the times that the service
would be available. This initiative will
be conducted as a one-year trial program. If
the trial proves successful, the service will continue at the Main Library and
work with the U.S. Department of State to identify potential additional
branches to host this service. The Passport Acceptance Facility collects and
keeps the $35 execution fee that is charged for each passport application. Countywide

C. LIBRARY (Cont’d)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A)
the elimination of overdue fines for library
card members; and
B) changes to the
fee policy effective October 1, 2019.
SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Library System was
founded in 1969. Overdue fines were
first assessed in 1991 at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners
and were intended as a revenue generator. Staff is asking for approval of the
following policy changes to be made effective on October 1, 2019:
·
Eliminate overdue fines for late material for all
library card account types;
·
Raise the block limit of accrued fees or monies owed
from $5 to $25;
·
Charge card holders the replacement cost for items
still checked out seven days after the due date;
·
Charges for lost items will be removed from the
member’s account upon return of the overdue items; and
·
Raise the Collection Agency referral limit from $25
to $50.
Library PPM
CLO-106 sets the current overdue fine rate at ten cents per item per day, up to
a maximum of $5 per item. Currently, library card accounts that accrue $5 or
more in fines and fees are blocked until their accounts are paid down below
that threshold. Members who lose or
damage items are charged the full replacement cost. 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 ten
month revenue from overdue fines is $143,393; which reflects a 58% reduction
from the prior year ten month collection of $340,902. Fines currently assessed
to member’s accounts will remain in place. The Library Department will pursue
alternative sources of revenue to compensate for the elimination of fines. Public libraries across the United States
have been eliminating overdue fines as they are perceived to be an impediment
to service. Studies appear to show that fines do not incentivize people to
return items on time. It is also argued that fines disproportionally effect
those of limited financial means. Fines can create a negative customer
interaction that may deter people from using the library. Since overdue fines
can result in restricted borrowing and use of the library, they appear to run
counter to the library’s educational mission to connect communities, inspire
thought, and enrich lives. Countywide (AH)
D. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the proposed
Palm Beach County 2020 State Legislative Agenda. SUMMARY: Staff requests Board approval of the 2020
State Legislative Agenda, which includes general government issues and environmental
& natural resources issues, general appropriations and general issues to
support and monitor. The 2020 State Legislative Agenda outlines issues
that the County’s Legislative Affairs Office, in conjunction with the County’s
contract state lobbyists, will advocate for during the upcoming 2020 state
legislative session. Countywide

E. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Temporary Easement Agreement for Construction
Access and Staging (Agreement) with the City of Boynton Beach (City) for the
Ocean Ridge Shore Protection Project (Project), beginning upon execution and
terminating in two years. SUMMARY:
The Agreement grants the County and its assigns an easement through Boynton
Beach Oceanfront Park (BBOP) to transport construction equipment and materials
onto and off the beach during mobilization, construction, and demobilization of
the Project and grants a staging area for equipment and materials in support of
the Federal Shore Protection Project. On September 2, 2019, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) notified the County that a fully executed Agreement must be
received by September 11, 2019, or the Federal solicitation for this 100%
federally funded Project will be modified to include the Project as an optional
line item. Identifying the project as an
optional line item may jeopardize the construction and funding of the Project
if the contractor experiences construction delays with other projects included
in the solicitation. Due to time
constraints imposed by USACE, the City has placed the Agreement on a special
meeting agenda for the evening of September 10, 2019. The expedited schedule will require BCC
approval of the Agreement prior to the City execution; however, the City has
expressed their intent to cooperate in a Letter of Support to the USACE. Final execution by the County will not occur
until after City execution. The
Agreement will continue in effect until September 10, 2021. There
is no cost to the County. District 4 (SS)
F. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
resolution providing for an exemption from general aviation landing fees and
fuel flowage fees for hurricane relief flights to the Bahamas; providing for
severability; and providing for an effective date and expiration date. SUMMARY:
This resolution provides for an exemption from the payment of general aviation
landing fees at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) and from the payment
of fuel flowage fees at PBI and the Palm Beach County Park Airport (Lantana
Airport), North County General Aviation Airport (North County Airport) and Palm
Beach County Glades Airport (Pahokee Airport) for flights providing
humanitarian relief to the Bahamas in response to Hurricane Dorian. General
aviation landing fees and fuel flowage fees are collected by fixed base
operators on behalf of Palm Beach County. Fixed base operators will be
required to provide documentation to the Department of Airports regarding all
exempt flights to ensure the exemptions are limited to flight operations being
conducted for humanitarian purposes at no cost or expense to the victims of
Hurricane Dorian. Fixed base operators at the County’s airports have begun
assisting in coordination of hurricane relief and recovery flights to the
Bahamas. In order to support hurricane relief and recovery flights, the
Department of Airports is recommending humanitarian flights to the Bahamas be
exempt from general aviation landing fees and fuel flowage fees. The effective
date of this resolution will be retroactive to September 4, 2019, when
hurricane relief flights commenced and will expire on September 30, 2020. Countywide (AH)
G. FIRE RESCUE
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a resolution authorizing
participation in the Public Emergency Medical Transportation (PEMT)
supplemental payment program for Medicaid managed care patients; delegating
authority to execute Letter(s) of Agreement (LOA) with the State of Florida
relating to intergovernmental transfers to the State; and delegating authority
to execute other documents necessary to participate in this program; and
B) approve a budget transfer of
$400,000 within the Fire/Rescue MSTU Fund (Fund 1300) in FY 2020 to fund
intergovernmental transfer(s) required for the PEMT supplemental payment
program for Medicaid managed care patients.
SUMMARY: Recently, the State of Florida, Agency for Health
Care Administration (AHCA) established a Medicaid supplemental program to
address Medicaid payment inadequacy. The Florida Medicaid Managed Care
Supplemental Payment Program (also known as the MCO program) will allow
qualifying government owned ambulance providers to receive supplemental
payments for emergency transports of Medicaid managed care patients. In order
to guarantee Federal share funding, intergovernmental transfers (IGT) from PEMT
providers are required to cover the State’s share of the MCO program. It is
expected that for each $1 provided by the IGT, approximately $2.60 will be
received in revenue, for an estimated net revenue of $600,000. As of
September 6, 2019, the LOA to be executed has not been received from
AHCA; however, the deadline to return the LOA remains
October 1, 2019. Countywide (SB)
