24                    5D-3               REVISED MOTION AND SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to authorize: the County Administrator or designee, which in this case shall be the Director Facilities Development & Operations, to approve renewal amendments for three continuing contracts to provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) engineering services for various capital improvement projects which will extend the term of the contracts to December 22, 2020: A) certify that the on-going COVID19 crisis constitutes a valid public emergency; and B) authorize the County Administrator or designee, which is this case shall be the Director Facilities Development & Operations, to emergency renewal to approve emergency renewal amendments for three continuing contracts to provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) engineering services for various capital improvement projects, which will extend the term of the contracts to December 22, 2020: 1) Gartek Engineering Corporation (Gartek) (R2015-0777; Renewals: R2017-0892, R2018-0849, R2019-1328) MBE/Local 96.26% SBE participation to date;  2) Johnson, Levinson, Ragan, Davila, Inc. (JLRD) (R2015-0779; Renewals: R2017-0893, R2018-0850, R2019-1329), SBE/Local 96.94% SBE participation to date; and 3) RGD & Associates, Inc. dba RGD Consulting Engineers (RGD) (R2015-0778; Renewals: R2017-0894, R2018-0851, R2019-1330), SBE/Local, 93.5% SBE participation to date. SUMMARY: On June 23, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved continuing services contracts for MEP engineering services with Gartek, JLRD, and RGD for a two year term with three one year renewals. These continuing MEP engineering contracts are set to expire on June 22, 2020. The Department has advertised for new continuing MEP engineering contracts. Due to the ongoing COVID19 crisis, the Department needs time to develop new logistical procedures for conducting selection committee meetings while maintaining social distancing and there may be other delays throughout the selection process which may cause a delay in getting the new continuing MEP engineering contracts to the BCC before the existing contracts expire. At this time, staff believes that extending the continuing MEP engineering contracts of Gartek, JLRD and RGD best serves the interests, health, safety, and welfare of the County and its citizens. . Section 287.055, Florida Statutes known as the Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) governs the procurement of architectural, professional engineering, landscape architecture and registered survey and mapping services in Florida.  Procurement of such services are exempted from the standard public announcement and qualification procedures of the CCNA where a valid public emergency is certified by the agency head.  The Board’s certification of a valid public emergency allows for the emergency extension of these agreements in accordance with the CCNA. Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to execute renewal amendments with Gartek, JLRD, and RGD to extend their continuing contracts for six months until December 22, 2020. The firms under this existing MEP Engineering contract were selected under the County’s prior SBE program where a 15% SBE goal applied. Over the preceding five years, the firms have averaged 95% SBE participation. The Office of Equal Business Opportunity has reviewed and approved this renewal request.

 

25                    5D-4               REVISED SUMMARY: Foundation and Protea will also enter into a unity of control which requires that the development be in accordance with the site plan approved by the Foundation. Protea is requesting the deed restrictions be further modified to: i) remove the requirement that the Property remain owned by a not for profit entity; ii) approve the conveyance of the foreclosed property to Protea Senior Living Boca Raton, LLC; iii) approve Protea’s request to mortgage the property to secure financing for development of the senior living facility; iv) clarify that assisted living services will be furnished at the facility together with memory care services; and iv) upon receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy for Protea’s ALF, the County’s approval rights for future conveyance or encumbrance of the foreclosed property shall terminate. (FDO)

 

26                    5E-1                ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: A) a contract for Provision of Services with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. (GGI), for a one year period starting upon the execution of the contract upon board approval, to provide emergency shelter to homeless individuals; B) a budget transfer of $3,229,428 from contingency reserves to appropriate funding to Community Services, Facilities Development and Operations, and Parks and Recreation; C) a budget amendment of $958,736 to establish budget in the Capital Outlay Fund and; D) nine full-time equivalent positions, which include five Case Managers II (Pay Grade  25), two Case Manager Trainees (Pay Grade 19), one General Maintenance Mechanic (Pay Grade 16) and one Housing Specialist (Pay Grade 22). SUMMARY: On February 25, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Sheltering and Housing Strategy Annex to Leading the Way Home – Palm Beach County’s Plan to End the Cycle of Homelessness. This strategy serves as an annex or supplement to Leading the Way Home - Palm Beach County’s Plan to End the Cycle of Homelessness plan (Leading the Way Home). The facility will mirror The Senator Philip D. Lewis Center (The Lewis Center) in that assessments, intake, placement, and law enforcement drop-offs will be coordinated in the same efficient and effective manner that currently prevails at The Lewis Center. Persons residing in public places such as parks, office buildings and places not meant for human habitation will be offered services at the facility, once assessments are completed. Individuals in need of transportation to the facility will be transported via the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) transport, designated bus assignments, and/or transportation vouchers. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies will also be authorized to provide transport after clearance by shelter management. No other law enforcement drop-offs will be permitted. The estimated number of emergency shelter beds will be 100-125. Each occupant will have access to a hot meal, showers, amenity boxes, lockers and social services that are employment and housing focused. The contract with GGI includes an advance one-time payment of $138,546 for startup costs to GGI in accordance with Palm Beach County Administrative Code Rule 305.02. The budget amendment in the Capital Outlay fund represents a 20% increase from the plan presented on February 25, 2020 due to: 1) all furniture and equipment being included, and 2) additional softening requirements; both at the request of GGI. Out of the one-time $958,736, $520,337 of the costs will be re-usable, or otherwise would be expended. (Division of Human and Veteran Services) Countywide (HH)

C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Work Order 2018051-100 in the amount of $425,000 to mill and resurface Congress Avenue from Belvedere Road to Okeechobee Boulevard utilizing Palm Beach County’s (County) annual asphalt milling and resurfacing contract R2018-1533 (Contract) with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger). SUMMARY: Per County PPM CW-F-050, this work order exceeds the $200,000 threshold for staff approvals of work orders to annual contracts, thus requiring approval from the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Approval of this work order will allow the contractual services necessary to construct the improvement. Prior to this work order, approximately $18 million of Ranger’s $31.4 million Contract has been spent or encumbered. On October 16, 2018, the BCC approved the Contract with Ranger to provide milling and resurfacing of County roadways for countywide projects. The Contract was renewed on October 22, 2019, with a 15% mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal set as the Affirmative Procurement Initiative. Due to the limited availability of applicable certified SBE subcontractors, the Office of Equal Business Opportunity issued a waiver on January 17, 2020 that reduced the mandatory SBE participation to 5% for the remainder of the current contract term. Ranger agreed to 5% SBE participation for this work order. Approval of this work order will result in a cumulative SBE participation of 10% for all the work orders issued under the Contract.

2.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a resolution repealing and replacing Resolution No. R87-1071, delegating authority to the County Administrator or designee to accept right-of-way related instruments, and authorize payments when consideration for such instruments are at or below the appraised value. SUMMARY:  Adopting this resolution will authorize the County Administrator or designee to accept Warranty Deeds, Special Warranty Deeds, Quit Claim Deeds, Drainage Easements, Embankment Easements, Limited Access Easements, Line-of-Sight Easements, Pathway Easements, Permanent Easements, Relocatable Drainage Easements, Right-of-Way Easements, Sidewalk Easements, Signal Easements, Temporary Construction Easements and Removal Agreements (collectively Instruments), associated with a right-of-way conveyance, and authorize payments for such conveyances when the consideration is at or below the appraised value. Repealing and replacing R87-1071 changes the original delegated authority and specifies the various types of instruments to be accepted. In accordance with Palm Beach County Ordinance (2019-038), a supermajority vote (5 votes) is required by the Board of County Commissioners for this delegation of authority as it involves fee simple real property. Countywide (YBH)

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a contract with HNTB Corporation (HNTB), in the amount of $297,673.02 for professional engineering services for the Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard over the Florida East Coast (FEC) railroad project. SUMMARY:  Approval of this contract will provide the professional services necessary for the preparation of design plans and construction bid documents for the project. The project will widen and rehabilitate the existing bridge over the FEC railroad to include sidewalk, bike lanes, new drainage and new bridge railings. The selection process for design professionals began in 2018, prior to the effective date of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance and pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance in place at the time with final selection taking place on January 15, 2019.  The SBE goal for all contracts was 15%. The SBE participation committed for the project by HNTB is 36.5% overall. HNTB is a Palm Beach County company. This project is funded by the infrastructure sales tax. District 7 (YBH)

 

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) a partial release of a permanent easement at the NE corner of Kirk Road and Park Lane as recorded in Official Record Book 25062, Page 1650; and

 

B) an interlocal agreement (Agreement) with the Village of Palm Springs (Village) for joint funding of drainage improvements for Foxtail Palm Park.

 

SUMMARY:  On January 24, 2012, Palm Beach County (County) conveyed a parcel of land (Parcel) to the Village. However, a permanent easement for future roadway purposes (Original Easement) was retained by the County over the parcel. The Village received Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP) and Community Development Block Grant Program funding for the development of a neighborhood park on the parcel. A requirement of the FRDAP is that land being developed with the use of FRDAP funds shall be dedicated in perpetuity as an outdoor recreation site, for the use and benefit of the general public. In order to meet this requirement, the Village has requested that the County release a portion of the original easement from the parcel. The partial release of the original easement will allow the Village to comply with the funding requirements for the outdoor recreation site. The County has agreed to this request, but will retain enough of the permanent easement to allow the County to perform the future road and drainage improvements. Approval of the agreement will allow the County to contribute to the Village up to a maximum amount of $113,350 toward design, permitting, and construction of drainage improvements (consisting of culverts, inlets, and additional excavation and shaping of a pond for Kirk Road) as part of the Foxtail Palm Park project.

A) ratify the signature of the Mayor on the Amendment to the 2018 Continuum of Care Program Grant Agreement No. FL0281L4D051811 with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and The Jerome Golden Center for Behavioral Health, Inc. (Jerome Golden), for the period November 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020, in an amount not-to-exceed $301,495, to change the grant recipient from Jerome Golden to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners; and

 

B) approve a budget amendment of $301,495 in the HUD-Housing and Urban Development Fund to align the FY 2020 budget with the actual grant award.

 

SUMMARY: The Division of Human and Veteran Services (DHVS), the lead entity for the Homeless Continuum of Care, requested the grant amendment from HUD after Jerome Golden announced the agency closure. The grant amendment changed the grant recipient from Jerome Golden to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners. The original amount awarded to Jerome Golden was $458,973. This grant amendment awards Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners the remaining balance of $301,495. The grant amendment allows DHVS to provide continued case management, permanent supportive housing subsidies, utility assistance, Homeless Management Information System administration and general administrative costs for the 32 chronically homeless residents that reside in scattered site housing throughout the county. The DHVS will provide services until May 31, 2020. The grant amendment is not renewable. On June 1, 2020, the residents who are currently receiving services will receive continued housing subsidies through the HOME Tenet-Based Rental Assistance Program funded by HUD, for up to 24 months. Case management services will be provided by Community Services Department staff. The emergency signature process was utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the grant amendment through the regular agenda process. No County match is required.

In the ILA between Palm Beach County and the Florida PACE Funding Agency (FPFA) PACE district (R2017-1105), the BCC authorized the County Administrator or designee to execute such indemnification agreements with subsequent administrators of FPFA. The BCC then rescinded such delegated authority on September 10, 2019.The Office of Resilience is bringing forth this item because FPFA seeks to add PACE Funding Group (PFG) as a PACE administrator for residential projects, thus requiring an indemnification agreement. The BCC approved an indemnification agreement between PFG and Palm Beach County on September 18, 2018 when PFG was acting as an administrator for a different PACE district, the Florida Resiliency and Energy District, LLC. Now PFG is operating through FPFA, therefore requiring a new indemnification agreement between PFG, as an administrator for FPFA, and Palm Beach County. This indemnification agreement acknowledges that PFG is a third-party administrator for FPFA and that PFG agrees to indemnify and hold the County harmless as PFG assists FPFA. Countywide (SS)

 

 

B.        RISK MANAGEMENT

 

1.         Staff requests Board direction:

 

            A) to approve the selection of Washington National as the agent/carrier to offer a selection of new voluntary (employee paid) supplemental insurance policies for County employees;

 

            B) to add three proposed policies including Accident, Cancer, and Hospitalization to the existing suite of employee benefits; and

 

            C) to enter into contract, for a minimum period of 20 years, with Washington National, in order to allow for the provision of a premium rebate after 20 years of continuous coverage.

 

            SUMMARY: At the regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on October 2, 2018, staff was directed to bring back a proposal for new, non-duplicative voluntary supplemental insurance policies that included a premium rebate.  To accomplish the Board directive, staff issued a Request for Proposal that required proposing carriers to review the County’s current suite of benefits and submit proposals that would provide employees with additional options to consider for their personal coverage, while not creating financial incentives that could have a negative impact on the financial performance of the County’s comprehensive health plans.  Four proposals, from AFLAC, Aetna, Securian Life, and Washington National, were reviewed by the selection committee.  Washington National was the only carrier that provided the required premium rebate option.  If the Board directs staff to enter into a contract with the selected carrier, staff recommends the selection of Washington National and three of its proposed supplemental insurance policies including Accident, Cancer, and Hospitalization.

C.        HOUSING AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) an Economic Development Incentive Agreement (Agreement) with Esports Play LLC (Company), to provide a cash grant in an amount not to exceed $21,000 over a six year period;

 

B) a budget transfer of $21,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves to the Economic Development Fund; and,

 

C) a budget amendment of $21,000 in the Economic Development Fund to recognize the funds from the General Fund.

 

SUMMARY: On September 10, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved (R2019-1458) an Economic Development Incentive (Incentive) for the Company totaling $21,000. This Agreement discloses the name of the Company, Esports Play LLC, previously referred to as Project League.  The Company is a professional video game team operating in a global league of professional gaming. The Agreement requires the Company to make a minimum capital investment of $1,350,000 to lease, renovate, and equip a 12,500 square foot facility.  The Company shall create 30 new jobs over a three year period. These new jobs must have an annualized average wage of $95,550 excluding benefits and a median wage of $80,000 excluding benefits. The Company is required to maintain the new jobs for three years from the date this Agreement becomes effective. The five year economic impact is estimated to be $55.6 million. Per the terms of the Agreement, the BCC delegates to the Director of the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability the authority to exercise the County’s rights including sending all written notices to the Company including any notice of default or termination. The State of Florida approved a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) tax refund for the Company in the amount of $210,000. Of this amount, $168,000 is from the State of Florida and $42,000 is a required match from local government entities.  The required $42,000 match to the QTI tax refund will be split equally between Palm Beach County ($21,000) and the City of Boca Raton ($21,000).  The Palm Beach County match will be provided in the form of a cash grant in an amount not to exceed $21,000 over a six year period provided the project meets the requirements under Florida Statute 196.012 and the Agreement.

2.         Staff recommends motion to execute: a “Certification By State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan” for the Pahokee Housing Authority in connection with their Fiscal Year 2020 Five-Year and Annual Plans. SUMMARY: The Pahokee Housing Authority has prepared its Five-Year and Annual PHA Plans for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2020. Both Plans are due to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on April 15, 2020.  HUD requires the County to confirm that the plans and programs outlined in the Pahokee Housing Authority’s Five-Year Plan and Annual 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. Some specific goals outlined in the Pahokee Housing Authority’s Plan which are consistent with the goals set forth in the County’s Consolidated Plan are: expand the supply of assisted housing; improve the quality of assisted housing, increase assisted housing choices; provide an improved living environment; promote self-sufficiency and development of individuals and families; and, ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing.

D.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to authorize: the County Administrator or designee, which in this case shall be the Director Facilities Development & Operations, to approve renewal amendments for two continuing contracts to provide construction management (CM) services for various capital improvement projects which will extend the term of the contracts to December 20, 2020:

 

            A) Robling Architecture Construction, Inc. (R2016-0762), SBE/Local 37.77% SBE participation to date, and

 

            B) The Weitz Company, LLC (R2016-0763), Local, 22.48% SBE participation to date.

 

            SUMMARY: On June 21, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved continuing services contracts for CM services with Robling Architecture Construction, Inc. (Robling) and with The Weitz Company, LLC (Weitz) for a two year term with one two year renewal. On June 15, 2018, the BCC approved renewing the contracts for two years for Robling (R2018-0846) and Weitz (R2018-0847). These continuing CM contracts are set to expire on June 20, 2020. The Department has advertised for new continuing CM contracts and received proposals. Due to the ongoing COVID19 crisis, the Department needs time to develop new logistical procedures for conducting selection committee meetings while maintaining social distancing and there may be other delays throughout the selection process, which may cause a delay in getting the new continuing CM contracts to the BCC before the existing contracts expire. At this time, staff believes that extending the continuing CM contracts best serves the interests, health, safety, and welfare of the County and its citizens. Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to execute renewal amendments with Robling and Weitz to extend their continuing contracts for six months until December 20, 2020. On February 20, 2019, the County’s Goal Setting Committee established a 20% SBE subcontracting goal on the construction subcontracts for the construction phase of projects assigned under this continuing CM contract. The Office of Equal Business Opportunity has reviewed and approved this renewal request.

2.         Staff recommends motion to authorize: the County Administrator or designee, which in this case shall be the Director Facilities Development & Operations to:

 

A) terminate for convenience the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment No. 1 (GMP #1) to the Construction Management (CM) contract with Kast Construction Company LLC (Kast), in the amount of $10,830,487 for the Palm Beach Sheriff Office (PBSO) Headquarters (HQ) Exterior Hardening; and make payment to Kast in an amount not to exceed $127,000 for costs incurred to date; and

 

B) approve the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment No. 2 (GMP #2) in an amount not to exceed $610,000, for certain communications and low voltage work in HQ previously bid and included in GMP #1 that is required to operate and manage the low voltage and security systems in the Forensic Science and Technology Building (fka Evidence Building) which is scheduled for completion in several months.

 

SUMMARY: On March 10, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved GMP #1 to the CM contract with Kast in the amount of $10,830,487 (R2020-0249) for the exterior hardening of the PBSO Headquarters which is the first phase of the PBSO HQ Project. GMP #1 also included specific communications infrastructure and interior low voltage work that was necessary to operate and manage the low voltage systems in the soon to be completed Forensic Science and Technology Building. Shortly after the notice to proceed was issued for GMP #1, it became apparent that the PBSO Headquarters site would be needed to meet our currently known and future needs associated with the County’s response to the COVID19 emergency. At this time, staff believes that termination of GMP #1 best serves the interests, health, safety, and welfare of the County and its citizens given the need to accommodate existing and potentially additional emergency operations at the project site. Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to terminate for convenience GMP #1 under General Condition 26 of the CM Contract and pay Kast an amount not to exceed $127,000 for costs incurred to date as well as authorize GMP #2 using the applicable subcontractor bids from GMP #1 so that the new Forensic Science and Technology Building can be placed into operation. The funding source for this project is the Infrastructure Sales Tax (IST) fund. Both the Termination Agreement and GMP #2 will be submitted to the Board as a receive and file item when executed.

3.         Staff recommends motion to authorize: the County Administrator or designee, which in this case shall be the Director Facilities Development & Operations, to approve renewal amendments for three continuing contracts to provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) engineering services for various capital improvement projects which will extend the term of the contracts to December 22, 2020:

 

            A) certify that the on-going COVID19 crisis constitutes a valid public emergency; and

 

            B) authorize the County Administrator or designee, which is this case shall be the Director Facilities Development & Operations, to emergency renewal to approve emergency renewal amendments for three continuing contracts to provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) engineering services for various capital improvement projects, which will extend the term of the contracts to December 22, 2020:

 

                        1) Gartek Engineering Corporation (Gartek) (R2015-0777; Renewals: R2017-0892, R2018-0849, R2019-1328) MBE/Local 96.26% SBE participation to date; 

                        2) Johnson, Levinson, Ragan, Davila, Inc. (JLRD) (R2015-0779; Renewals: R2017-0893, R2018-0850, R2019-1329), SBE/Local 96.94% SBE participation to date; and

 

                        3) RGD & Associates, Inc. dba RGD Consulting Engineers (RGD) (R2015-0778; Renewals: R2017-0894, R2018-0851, R2019-1330), SBE/Local, 93.5% SBE participation to date.

 

            SUMMARY: On June 23, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved continuing services contracts for MEP engineering services with Gartek, JLRD, and RGD for a two year term with three one year renewals. These continuing MEP engineering contracts are set to expire on June 22, 2020. The Department has advertised for new continuing MEP engineering contracts. Due to the ongoing COVID19 crisis, the Department needs time to develop new logistical procedures for conducting selection committee meetings while maintaining social distancing and there may be other delays throughout the selection process which may cause a delay in getting the new continuing MEP engineering contracts to the BCC before the existing contracts expire. At this time, staff believes that extending the continuing MEP engineering contracts of Gartek, JLRD and RGD best serves the interests, health, safety, and welfare of the County and its citizens. . Section 287.055, Florida Statutes known as the Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) governs the procurement of architectural, professional engineering, landscape architecture and registered survey and mapping services in Florida.  Procurement of such services are exempted from the standard public announcement and qualification procedures of the CCNA where a valid public emergency is certified by the agency head.  The Board’s certification of a valid public emergency allows for the emergency extension of these agreements in accordance with the CCNA. Accordingly, staff is requesting authority to execute renewal amendments with Gartek, JLRD, and RGD to extend their continuing contracts for six months until December 22, 2020. The firms under this existing MEP Engineering contract were selected under the County’s prior SBE program where a 15% SBE goal applied. Over the preceding five years, the firms have averaged 95% SBE participation. The Office of Equal Business Opportunity has reviewed and approved this renewal request.

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Second Modification and Restatement of Deed Restrictions on approximately 6.144 acres of property previously donated by the County to the Elizabeth H. Faulk Foundation, Inc. (Foundation). SUMMARY: The Elizabeth H. Faulk Foundation, Inc. was organized in 1971 as a Florida not-for-profit corporation with the charitable purpose of “providing free psychological and consultation services to the needy”.  In 1979, the County conveyed approximately ten acres of land located on the west side of Boca Rio Road just north of S.W. 8th Street to Foundation. The Foundation constructed a 13,000 SF building on roughly four acres of the property in which it operates its Faulk Center for Counseling.  In 2013, Foundation was approached by a developer who proposed to develop a 96 unit/117 bed senior assisted living facility on the remaining undeveloped six acres of the property. The developer proposed a complicated financial and organizational structure which would create a revenue stream for Foundation and would provide Foundation the opportunity to provide Alzheimer’s and memory care services to elderly residents in the Assisted Living Facility (ALF). This financial structure involved tax exempt bond financing and required modification of the deed restrictions. In 2014, the County modified the deed restrictions to release the County’s reverter; restrict use of the property to: i) mental health counseling and rehabilitation of the mentally ill; and ii) the development, use and operation of a senior living facility with assisted living units accommodating approximately 117 assisted living beds providing memory care services; allow for conveyance of the property to an affiliate of Foundation; and allow the property to be mortgaged for purposes of securing financing. Unfortunately, the developer seriously miscalculated the construction costs of the project, which resulted in foreclosure of the mortgage on behalf of the bondholders by PJPF Holdings, LLC (PJPF) and the Foundation’s loss of approximately six acres. As a result of foreclosure of the mortgage, the property can be used as a general ALF and is not required to provide memory care services. Since it acquired title in 2018, PJPF has sought to sell the foreclosed property for development consistent with the existing deed restrictions. PJPF entered into a contract to sell the property to Protea Senior Living Boca Raton, LLC (Protea) which is willing to develop an ALF using essentially the same design as previously proposed, will provide memory care services and will perform improvements which will benefit the Foundation’s remaining property, including new access drives, improved surface water management and connection to public sewer. Foundation and Protea will also enter into a unity of control which requires that the development be in accordance with the site plan approved by the Foundation. Protea is requesting the deed restrictions be further modified to: i) remove the requirement that the Property remain owned by a not for profit entity; ii) approve the conveyance of the foreclosed property to Protea Senior Living Boca Raton, LLC; iii) approve Protea’s request to mortgage the property to secure financing for development of the senior living facility; iv) clarify that assisted living services will be furnished at the facility together with memory care services; and iv) upon receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy for Protea’s ALF, the County’s approval rights for future conveyance or encumbrance of the foreclosed property shall terminate. The Foundation supports the requested modification of the restrictions. Development of Protea’s project will provide assisted living units with memory care services consistent with the original restrictions and will provide Foundation with an opportunity to provide mental health services to residents within Protea’s ALF, which was a goal of the previous transaction. In the event the Board does not approve the modification of restrictions, Protea will be unable to move forward with its project, and it is possible that PJPF could sell the property to a developer who would be less cooperative and not agree to provide memory care services. In any event, resolution of this issue would continue to drag out for years.  At the March 17, 2020, the Board requested further information regarding this transaction.  Attached to this agenda item is a summary of the use restrictions and the various changes thereto.  Also attached are letters from Piper Sandler, on behalf of PJPF, and from Vicki Katz, the CEO of the Foundation. (Property & Real Estate Management) District 5 (HJF)

1.         ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) a contract for Provision of Services with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. (GGI), for a one year period starting upon the execution of the contract upon board approval, to provide emergency shelter to homeless individuals;

 

B) a budget transfer of $3,229,428 from contingency reserves to appropriate funding to Community Services, Facilities Development and Operations, and Parks and Recreation;

 

C) a budget amendment of $958,736 to establish budget in the Capital Outlay Fund and;

 

D) nine full-time equivalent positions, which include five Case Managers II (Pay Grade  25), two Case Manager Trainees (Pay Grade 19), one General Maintenance Mechanic (Pay Grade 16) and one Housing Specialist (Pay Grade 22).

 

SUMMARY: On February 25, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Sheltering and Housing Strategy Annex to Leading the Way Home – Palm Beach County’s Plan to End the Cycle of Homelessness. This strategy serves as an annex or supplement to Leading the Way Home - Palm Beach County’s Plan to End the Cycle of Homelessness plan (Leading the Way Home). The facility will mirror The Senator Philip D. Lewis Center (The Lewis Center) in that assessments, intake, placement, and law enforcement drop-offs will be coordinated in the same efficient and effective manner that currently prevails at The Lewis Center. Persons residing in public places such as parks, office buildings and places not meant for human habitation will be offered services at the facility, once assessments are completed. Individuals in need of transportation to the facility will be transported via the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) transport, designated bus assignments, and/or transportation vouchers. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies will also be authorized to provide transport after clearance by shelter management. No other law enforcement drop-offs will be permitted. The estimated number of emergency shelter beds will be 100-125. Each occupant will have access to a hot meal, showers, amenity boxes, lockers and social services that are employment and housing focused. The contract with GGI includes an advance one-time payment of $138,546 for startup costs to GGI in accordance with Palm Beach County Administrative Code Rule 305.02. The budget amendment in the Capital Outlay fund represents a 20% increase from the plan presented on February 25, 2020 due to: 1) all furniture and equipment being included, and 2) additional softening requirements; both at the request of GGI. Out of the one-time $958,736, $520,337 of the costs will be re-usable, or otherwise would be expended. (Division of Human and Veteran Services) Countywide (HH)
