liability company, extending the expiration of the initial term from October
31, 2029 to September 30, 2032, reducing the minimum capital expenditure
required for aircraft apron improvements based on cost savings, providing a

updating certain contractual provisions to ensure compliance with current state
and federal law and grant assurance requirements. Summary: The
Lease provides for an initial term expiring on October 31, 2029, with two (2)
five (5) year renewal options. To
provide Jet with sufficient time to amortize an additional investment in
renovations to its terminal building, the Amendment extends the expiration date
of the initial term from October 31, 2029 to September
30, 2032, on the same terms and conditions, while retaining (i) the County’s
right to terminate the Lease for convenience upon no less than one (1) year’s
prior written notice and (ii) the two (2) five (5) year renewal options. Based
on cost savings realized in connection with completion of the required aircraft
apron improvements, the Amendment reduces the minimum capital expenditure from
not less than $2,000,000 to $1,500,000. Due to temporary nightly closures of
the North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (F45), Jet has agreed to
provide hangar storage for up to two (2) aircraft operated by Great Flight,
Inc. (Great Flight), an F45 subtenant that provides emergency organ, surgeon,
and patient transport services, until the County provides notice to Jet that
the nightly closures have ceased or September 30, 2026, whichever occurs first.
The Amendment authorizes a rental credit to Jet of up
to $5,960 representing the customary cost of hangar storage. The Amendment also updates various provisions
to comply with current state and federal law and grant assurance requirements,
including nondiscrimination provisions, federal contract provisions, digital
accessibility requirements, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion certification

complete the ongoing competitive solicitation and provide for an orderly

initial term of up to five (5) years with one (1) two (2) year renewal option,
revises the definition of “signatory airline” to require a minimum annual
financial commitment of $1.5 million for passenger airlines, reduces airline
revenue sharing from 35% to 25%, and sets a minimum per‑turn usage
requirement for preferential gates. It further updates various provisions
related to the rate methodology, including modifications applicable to the
calculation of rates and charges for use of Concourse A and the baggage
handling system. The Agreement also streamlines administration and enhances
operational flexibility by allowing airlines to request use of certain
facilities, such as ticket counters and gates, on a short‑term or
seasonal basis through a facility‑use permit process, rather than
requiring formal amendments. The
Agreement includes non-standard indemnification and limitation of liability
provisions that differs from that adopted for use by the County under PPM
#CW-F-049. The Risk Management
Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the non-standard
provisions and advised staff accordingly.
The Airline is not responsible for damages that are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the County or a direct result of a breach of the Agreement by
County. Additionally, Airline and County
are not liable for indirect, consequential, special or exemplary damages,
whether in contract or tort, including strict liability, negligence, and
nuisance. Given the type of Agreement
being entered into, staff is recommending approval. The Resolution authorizes the County
Administrator, or designee, which in this case is the Director of the

and documents with the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) in
service of the Palm Beach County Local Provider Participation Fund (LPPF)
Ordinance program that do not substantially change the scope of work, term or
conditions of future documents. Summary: On August 26, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted the
LPPF Ordinance (R2021-024) which provides non-ad valorem
special assessments to be imposed by Palm Beach County (County) on all
nonpublic hospitals within the County's jurisdiction (the Hospitals). The LPPF
Ordinance requires the Hospitals to pay a uniform, non-ad valorem special
assessment, set annually by resolution approved by the BCC. Funds collected through
the LPPF assessment are sent to AHCA through intergovernmental transfers
(IGTs), consistent with federal guidelines, as the non-federal share of
increased Medicaid managed care payments facilitated under a hospital directed
payment program (DPP), that was first approved for the State of Florida in 2021
and annually reapproved. Through the DPP, AHCA uses the IGTs to draw additional
federal Medicaid dollars and transfers those additional dollars to Medicaid
Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to fund increased payments by MCOs to the
local hospitals to provide services to Medicaid patients. Through an interlocal
agreement, the Health Care District of Palm Beach County provided
administrative oversight of the LPPF on behalf of the County since 2021. The
agreement expired September 10, 2026, and the County will assume administrative
oversight. The Letter of Agreement
outlines the partnership between Palm Beach County LPPF (as the IGT Provider)
and AHCA for the 2026–2027 State Fiscal Year. It establishes that the IGT
Provider will remit assessed funds to support the DPP and outlines requirements
for payment schedules, record retention, audits, monitoring, and limitations on
assignments or subcontracting. The agreement also specifies compliance
obligations, indemnification responsibilities, and the operating period of July
1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Delegated authority will allow the County Administrator, or designee,

Summary: The Public Safety Department’s Division of
Victim Services received a legislative appropriation (County Funded Sexual Assault (CFSA) 64.121) for the continuation
of advocacy and forensic exam services to victims of sexual assault. Funding is
used for rent expenses of the Butterfly House, the forensic exam facility, and
personnel to include two (2) Victim Advocates, and a Forensic Nurse Program
Manager. The Victim Advocates provide individual supportive counseling, crisis
intervention, legal advocacy, accompaniment, information and referral, and
other advocacy services. The Forensic Nurse Program Manager ensures 24-hour
response coverage, manages the Forensic Nurse Examiners (FNE) who document and
collect forensic evidence, conduct forensic rape examinations, assess patients
for medical treatment, and prepare for offender prosecution. Over the past contract cycle (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026), 1,187 primary and secondary
victims were assisted with 10,368 units of service provided by the contract
funded advocates. Additionally, FNEs responded to 731 victims, conducted 669
forensic exams, of which 383 were performed at the Butterfly House. This
legislative appropriation aims to enhance services historically available to
victims of sexual assault. If the legislative appropriation funding ceases, the
positions will be deleted from the Victim Services complement. On August 16, 2011, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved Agenda Item 3X3, R2011-1223, which authorized the

require prior approval from the OVW Grant Manager. These standard procedural
approvals initiated by the Grant Manager and are processed
through the OVW JustGrants online system. This

preliminary reading of the Ordinance.
Due to changes in Section 713.78, Florida Statutes, staff identified a
need to update the Towing and Immobilization Ordinance to bring it in line with statutory language,
in addition to establishing a new research fee, that allows towing companies to
recover actual, documented costs incurred in processing and administering
individual tows. Staff and industry members identified several ways to improve
the Ordinance to conform to Florida Statutes with respect to the time period
when itemized invoices are completed; the posting of rate sheets; acceptable
forms of payment; the type of documentation permitted to allow for the release
of a vehicle; and improving general readability. The proposed revisions allows for citations to be heard before a special magistrate
instead of County Court, which will result in more fine revenue being retained by
the County. The proposed revisions were
presented to the Consumer Affairs Hearing Board on May 20, 2026
and League of Cities on July 22, 2026 with no objection.
Administration and enforcement of this Ordinance is funded entirely through
license fees. Countywide (RS)

supplemental power services to the Presidential Donald J. Trump International
Airport (DJT) terminal facilities for a 20-year term, commencing upon the completion
of installation of new generator equipment at DJT (Commercial Operation Date)
for a monthly utility service fee of $267,430, plus fuel costs; and
B) Statement of Work
(SOW) for the Agreement providing technical specifications for the generator
equipment and clarifying various provisions of the Agreement.
Summary: The
Agreement provides for the installation, maintenance and operation of power
generation equipment (FPL Equipment) capable of powering DJT terminal
facilities at full capacity for up to 72 hours.
The generator will also have sufficient capacity to power the Department
of Airport’s (Department) Administrative Offices. FPL will remotely monitor the
FPL Equipment 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for system health, perform all
required maintenance and repair, and provide the necessary fuel for operation
of the FPL Equipment. In addition, the
Agreement requires FPL to provide temporary power generation equipment in the
event of a failure of the FPL Equipment. The term of the Agreement will
commence on the Commercial Operation Date, which is anticipated to be
approximately 110 weeks from the effective date of the Agreement. The form of
the Agreement is mandated by the Florida Public Service Commission and cannot
be modified. The SOW outlines the technical requirements for the FPL Equipment
and provides for clarification of various terms of the Agreement. The DJT
terminal facilities are currently served by generator equipment owned by the
County, which are only capable of operating life
safety systems in the event of a power outage. In the event of a significant
power outage, airline operations would be suspended pending restoration of
normal power to airline facilities and systems, including, but not limited to,
baggage handling system equipment and passenger loading bridges. Payment for services will be included on the
monthly electric utility invoice in the amount of $267,430, plus fuel costs,
which is estimated to be approximately $2,500 per
month. Upon installation of the new FPL Equipment, the County will have the
opportunity to enter into an agreement to participate in FPL’s
Commercial/Industrial Demand Reduction (CDR) Program, which is anticipated to
reduce the cost of service by approximately $31,642 per month.

motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
of Palm Beach County, Florida establishing a new schedule of maximum rates for
non-consent towing and immobilization services, fees and fines; establishing
minimum insurance limits; and repealing and replacing Resolution No.
R2022-0886, relating to Chapter
19, article VIII, Sections 19-181-19-209 of the Palm Beach County Code (the
Towing and Immobilization Services Ordinance). Summary: The Towing and Immobilization Services
Ordinance provides that the BCC shall establish certain licensing fees, fines, and
maximum rates by resolution. This Resolution adjusts the 2026 maximum towing
and storage rates using the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI)
as published by the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics each calendar year and
establishes a new research fee allowing towing companies to recover actual
documented costs incurred in processing and administering individual tows
within the first 24 hours. The most recent Resolution-based fee adjustment was
in 2022 for private property impound tows, storage, and after-hours gate fee.
Police-directed tows also received an adjustment for
increasing operational costs. Annual rate adjustment language for non-consent
towing, storage, and immobilization services using the CPI was incorporated
into the Ordinance with a requirement to be reviewed by the BCC every five (5)
years. Revenue is decreasing while expenditures are increasing in the tow fund. Currently, three (3)
full-time employees (FTEs) administer the towing program. It is necessary to
increase fees the industry is charged. The fee changes are identified in the
proposed fee schedule, including the following: Immobilization Business Permit;
Non-consent Towing Business Permit; Towing Vehicle Decal Fee; Towing Business
Late Fees for 1 – 30 days, 31 – 60 days, 61 – 365 days; Tow Truck Driver

Arena property in the Town of Mangonia Park to the
property owner/developer. Summary: On May 19, 2026, the Town of Mangonia Park submitted a request for funding to assist in
the costs of water and wastewater improvements to facilitate the redevelopment
of the DK Arena (formerly known as the Palm Beach Jai Alai fronton), a 52-acre
property located at 1415 45th Street, Mangonia
Park. Ownership of the DK Arena property is currently subject to the outcome of
bankruptcy proceedings, after which it is expected that a developer will take
title with plans to redevelop. Terms of
the funding will require that the property be redeveloped with residential and
commercial uses. The number and types of housing units are dependent on the
redevelopment plans of the ultimate developer.
The developer, redevelopment plan and funding will be subject to final
approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). After final approval, the NSP funds would be
converted to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for which water and
wastewater improvements are an eligible use. An early estimate from the Town of Mangonia Park placed the water and wastewater improvement
cost at approximately $5.18 Million. CDBG regulations require that assisted

Summary: Palm Beach County (County) receives an annual allocation
from the State of Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) through the SHIP
to implement various affordable housing programs and other related
activities. On April 8, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the
SHIP Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) for FY’s 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and
2027-2028 (R2025-0511). For FY
2026-2027, the County will receive $7,743,366 (CSFA #40.901). This is an increase of $17,761 over the $7,725,605
award for FY 2025-2026. A Budget Amendment of $7,049,262 is required to align
this grant allocation with the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Recommendations were based on the identified
needs over the past year. On July 16, 2026, the Commission on Affordable
Housing (CAH) reviewed and approved the proposed SHIP budget. SHIP regulations require that a
minimum of 65% of a local jurisdiction’s SHIP funding be allocated to
homeownership activities, and 20% of the FY’s funding allocation be expended on
special needs households. Special needs
households will be assisted through the Purchase Assistance, Foreclosure

2025-2028 LHAP was approved on April 8, 2025 (R2025-0511). The LHAP establishes

of a mobile home park in accordance with Section 723.003, Florida Statutes.
Data provided by Florida Housing Coalition indicates that there are not any
current mobile home park closures in the County, and therefore, funding need

of Palm Beach County, Inc. (BDB) in the amount of $9,157,350 for the five
(5)-year period of October 1, 2026 to September 30,
2031. Summary: Since 1982,
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) has partially funded activities of the
BDB to provide economic and business development activities. On September 14,
2021, the BCC entered into a five (5)-year Agreement with the BDB to provide
business recruitment, expansion, retention services, and general marketing for
Palm Beach County (County). The BDB is
required to create 250 new jobs through their recruitment and expansion
initiatives, conduct 200 business needs assessments, participate in ten (10)
international/domestic outreach missions, participate in 30 economic forums,
and spend a minimum of $25,000 on marketing and media initiatives promoting
Palm Beach County as a premier business destination increasing the County’s
visibility and enhancing its reputation and reinforcing its completive position
for business investment, expansion and relocation. The Agreement is for a five (5)-year period
for $1,831,470 annually and representing no more than 50% of BDB’s annual
funding level. The funding provided
under this Agreement is subject to BCC budget approval, such that, in the event
of a funding change due to budget constraints, this Agreement may be
terminated. The Agreement’s Scope of Services is reviewed annually by the BCC
and revised as appropriate to capitalize on changes within the County’s economy
and business community. These are

motion to approve: an
extension of the deadline for One North Lake, LLC to commence construction of
the One North Lake Project from July 9, 2026, to November 6, 2026. Summary: On March 11, 2025, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved a $4,650,000 Housing Initiative Program (HIP)
award to One North Lake, LLC for the One North Lake Project (Agenda Item 6D-1).
The HIP award requires the construction of 54 workforce rental units, with
rents restricted to eligible households earning 120% of the Area Median Income
(AMI) (income no greater than $154,200 for an eligible household of four [4]
persons). However, the primary funding from the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) restricts the monthly rents based on a
market study conducted by HUD. The rents will be limited to $1,422 for one
(1)-bedroom units; $1,825 and $1,835 for two (2)-bedroom units; and $1,975 for
three (3)-bedroom units. These amounts are below the current rent limits for
eligible households with incomes at or below 70% AMI (income no greater than
$89,950 for an eligible household for four [4] persons). The total Project cost
is $17,270,028 ($319,815 per unit). Total County investment for this Project is
$4,750,000, including HIP and a $100,000 Ad Valorem Infrastructure Grant
approved by the BCC on August 25, 2020 (Agenda Item 3I-3) is 27.5% ($87,962 per
unit). Additional funding sources for
this Project are as follows:

At the December 2, 2025, BCC meeting, the BCC approved a 120-day
extension of the project construction commencement deadline due to delays
associated with the federal government shutdown. One North Lake, LLC has
requested an additional extension of the project construction commencement
deadline to November 6, 2026, to allow additional time to complete the
remaining permitting approvals needed to close the County loan. District 6

motion to:

B) approve a County Deed in favor of the Town; and
C)
approve an
Escrow Agreement (Escrow Agreement) with
the Town and Shannon Ramsey-Chessman, Clerk
of the Circuit Court and Comptroller (Clerk) Ad Interim of Palm Beach County to
hold the County Deed and certain monies in escrow pursuant to the terms of the
Escrow Agreement.
Summary: Since December 17, 1996, Palm Beach County
Fire Rescue (PBCFR) has been the contracted provider of fire rescue and
emergency medical services to the Town pursuant to a contract between the
County and the Town (R96-2110D) (Contract).
Per the Contract, as amended, PBCFR constructed a new fire station
(Facility) on a 1.43-acre civic site at 3550 Military Trail in the Abacoa DRI (Property) that was conveyed to the County by
the Town for Ten Dollars ($10). The
Town’s Special Warranty Deed conveying that Property to the County includes a
right of reversion to the Town should the County cease to provide fire rescue
services and the Town pay the remaining unamortized cost of the Facility. On August 15, 2023, the Jupiter Town Council
directed Town staff to create the Jupiter Fire Rescue Department (JFRD) to
replace PBCFR commencing at 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2026. The Town’s Certified
Public Accountant calculated the remaining unamortized cost of the Facility, on
a straight-line basis over an estimated 30 year useful
life, at $347,284.47, while an independent appraisal obtained by the County
calculated it at $347,000. The Town and PBCFR have mutually agreed to the
amount of $347,284.47 (Unamortized Payment). PBCFR ceasing to provide fire
rescue and emergency medical
services on 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2026, and the Town’s payment
of the Unamortized Payment to the County, will trigger the Town’s right of
reversion with respect to the Property. The Property is being conveyed to the
Town without charge beyond the Unamortized Payment, without reservation of
mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Section 270.11, Florida
Statutes, and without rights of entry and exploration on the Property.
Conveyance of the Property will be pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to ensure
the timely and proper exchange of the County Deed and the Unamortized Payment. This conveyance must be approved by a
Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (Property & Real Estate Management) District 1 (ZQ)

1. Summary: This
Grant Agreement G3T06, in the amount of $4,518,594, requires a match of 10% or $451,857 and provides a Grant in the amount of
$4,066,736. The total anticipated cost to provide transportation service for disadvantaged citizens is $8,143,464. The County
overmatches by $3,624,870 in order to maintain
the Program at its current level. The Grant requires broader indemnification by
the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The Grant requires the
County and its officers, agents, or employees to indemnify and hold
harmless the CTD and all of its officers and employees from liabilities,
damages, losses, and costs, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s
fees, to the extent caused by negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful
misconduct of the County and persons employed or utilized by the County in the
performance of the Grant Agreement. The indemnification obligation must also be
passed on to contractors/subcontractors and/or consultants/subconsultants. The
Risk Management Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the
indemnification requirements of this grant and advised staff accordingly. Given
that liability is limited to the County’s non-compliance or performance of this
agreement and the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff recommends BCC approval Countywide

recommends motion to approve:
A) a Budget Amendment in the amount of $13,259
for continued funding of a display gardens horticulturist position;
B) a Budget Transfer in the amount of $4,575
from the General Contingency Fund to the Cooperative Extension Revenue Fund;
and
C) a First Amendment to the Agreement dated
September 16, 2025 (R2025-1256) with the Friends of Mounts Botanical Garden,
Inc. (FMBG) for continued funding of a display gardens horticulturist position,
reflecting the increase of $17,196 in salary and benefits.
Summary: The Agreement was
approved on September 16, 2025 (R2025-1256) for the display gardens
horticulturist position which
was vacant at that time. The Agreement
required FMBG to fund $52,749, which was 65.5% of the salary and required the
County to fund $27,784, which was 34.5% of the salary. The employee hired for the position was
internal, and due to County processes, the new salary exceeded what was
originally anticipated due to an increase in benefits and a 6% salary
increase. Therefore, an increase to the
budget is necessary to account for the salary increase. The increase allows FMBG to continue to fund
65.5% of the salary and the County to fund 34.5% of the salary. Under the Amendment, FMBG will provide
funding to the County in an amount not to exceed $64,012 ($44,572 for salary
and $19,440 for fringe benefits) to support 65.5% of an existing display
gardens horticulturist position beginning October 1, 2025
and ending on September 30, 2026. The County will be
funding the remaining $33,717 ($23,477 for salary and $10,242 for fringe
benefits) at a funding level of 34.5% for a total of $97,729. The position will continue to support the
