for Retarded Citizens, Inc. contract (R2006-2615) for the period October 1,

delivered are necessary as one program that is currently funded is being closed
by the agency. The Glades Area
Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC) was funded to provide the Homebound
Early Intervention program, but the primary funder, Early Steps, has chosen to
provide the services themselves and will no longer provide referrals or funding
to the Glades Area ARC. The Glades Area
ARC will take the balance of the contract, $17,055.20 and move it to the other
three (3) programs the County currently funds (Food Service, Supported
Employment and Supported Living). The
current rate of pay and units of services to be provided for each of those
programs will change accordingly. There

SUMMARY: This
grant application requests up to $987,000 from the FIND Waterways
Assistance Program (WAP) for construction of Moroso Park (f/k/a Light Harbor Marina). This project includes 72 car/boat trailer parking spaces, 20 car parking spaces,
three boat launching ramp lanes with four 59 foot long floating boarding docks,
and 290 linear feet of staging docks within a boat launching basin located on
the Intracoastal Waterway in the City of Riviera Beach. The project also includes a restroom
building, viewing pavilion, site lighting, landscaping and related
infrastructure. The total cost of the project is estimated at $4,195,500. Since FIND’s grant guidelines do not allow
the cost of landscaping, irrigation, contingency fees, architectural fees or
any pre-Agreement expenses to be included in the application, a cost estimate
of $3,127,615 is being used. The balance
of the project will be funded by the

seven (7) agencies have been determined to be in compliance. Countywide

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and to advertise for public hearing on
May 15, 2007 at 9:30 A.M.: an
Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
granting an exemption from certain ad valorem taxation to encourage economic
development in the County for Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc., an expansion
of an existing business; providing for a finding that requirements have been
met; providing for the amount of revenue available from ad valorem tax sources
for the current fiscal year; providing for the amount of revenue lost by virtue
of the economic development ad valorem tax exemptions currently in effect;
providing for the estimated revenue lost attributable to the exemption granted
to Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc.; providing for the period of time for
which the exemption will remain in effect and the expiration date of the
exemption; providing for annual reporting requirement; providing for
applicability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing
for severability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; and providing for
an effective date. SUMMARY: The Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption Ordinance for Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc. will grant an ad
valorem tax exemption for 100% of the assessed value of all qualifying tangible
personal property acquired and added improvements to real property for four (4)
years, excluding land. The Property
Appraiser certified Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc. as an expansion of an
existing business and estimated that $26,153 in expansion revenues would be
lost during the current fiscal year. The
approximate revenue lost over four (4) years would be $104,612. However, the actual revenue lost in the years
2007-2010 may differ because the millage rate and the Property Appraiser’s
value of the improvement may vary. The
applicant requested an exemption for ten (10) years, which is the maximum
period permitted under the program. The applicant qualifies for an exemption
for five (5) year based upon a formula of jobs created and salaries paid. Staff recommends an exemption for four (4)
years. The estimate of assessed taxable value on the tax roll is identified as
$5,159,958 for improvements to real property and $950,545 for personal
property, but the estimate of actual tax dollars lost to the County, if the
exemption is granted, is $26,153 for the year
2007. Countywide (DW)

coordination of a vision and adoption of the Ten Year Strategic Plan to End
Homelessness. The purpose of developing
a Homeless Advisory Board is to achieve consensus on dealing with this
multi-faceted and complex issue in regards to homelessness in Palm Beach County. Additionally, the Board will be accountable

E. PALM TRAN
1. Staff
recommends motion to approve:
Staff’s recommendation not to renew the Subcontracted Transportation
Provider Service Agreement (STP) with the State of Florida Commission for the
Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) to provide the Medicaid Non Emergency
Transportation Program in Palm Beach County.
SUMMARY: The BCC, on January 11, 2005, approved Palm
Tran entering into a contract with the State of Florida Commission for the
Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) for the administration and provision of
non-emergency transportation services to eligible Medicaid beneficiaries in
Palm Beach County. There have been two
(2) amendments that have extended the contract’s expiration date to June 30,
2007. When Palm Tran agreed to provide
this service, we were not experiencing the phenomenal transportation growth we
are now experiencing. We are now having problems keeping up with the overall
demand of this program and it’s beginning to adversely impact the level of
service we are able to provide for our other Palm Tran Connection
programs. For cost and operational
efficiency reasons, we believe Plan Tran would be better off eliminating this
program by allowing these trips to be provided by another State selected
vendor. Countywide (DR)
F. PUBLIC AFFAIRS
1.
Staff requests Board
direction: regarding the planning and implementation of
events and activities to occur during the Centennial Year, beginning January 1,
2009 to December 31, 2009. SUMMARY: A draft plan has been proposed based on input
from the Public Affairs staff and the Centennial Committee members. This plan is a suggestion of what could be
done. The Board of County Commissioners,
with advice from the Committee, may choose to implement the entire plan or
select individual components. Countywide (SF)
G. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT &
OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) accept a Special Warranty Deed from the
Town of Haverhill conveying approximately 24 acres of land on Belvedere Road;
and
B) request Board direction regarding
proposed uses for the property.
Summary: In
2003, the Town of Haverhill acquired a 210' strip of land extending from
Belvedere Road to Southern Boulevard as a condition of approval of the Johnson
P.U.D. at the S.W. corner of Belvedere and Jog Roads. This property was planned for a neighborhood
linear park in the Haverhill Area Neighborhood Plan. The property lies outside the municipal
boundaries of the Town of Haverhill, but within the Town’s annexation area. The Town wishes to avoid the obligation to
develop the Park and has requested that the County accept title to the
property. The property has had all
density removed and transferred to the Johnson P.U.D., which is being developed
by D.R. Horton as the Terracina Subdivision.
In addition, the property is subject to a Conservation Easement in favor
of the County which prohibits development and requires the property to remain
in its natural state. While the property
could be used for a natural area and/or a lineal passive park, neither ERM nor
Parks and Recreation desire to assume responsibility for development and
maintenance of the Property.
Commissioner Santamaria has suggested that this property could be used
for development of workforce housing.
Development of this property will present challenges due to its
configuration and the policy issues associated with releasing the Conservation
Easement and utilizing Transfer of Development Rights to replace the
residential density. The property could
also be used for alternative active recreation uses, such as paint ball fields
and archery courses through Concession Agreements which would provide
maintenance and security of the property while meeting a public need. Staff requires direction from the Board as to
which uses the Board desires staff to investigate. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

H. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve the Retail Concessions Request for Proposals (RFP), including the Draft Concession Agreement (Agreement) for Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA); and
B) authorize staff to modify the RFP, including the Agreement, based on the mandatory pre-proposal meeting and negotiations with the selected proposer.
SUMMARY: Staff
recommends a RFP process to select the most qualified concession company to
develop and manage retail concessions at PBIA.
Retail concessions at the airport involve sales of gift items, clothing,
magazines, newspapers, travel items, etc.
The Department of Airports will conduct a mandatory pre-proposal meeting
to answer questions pertaining to the RFP.
Based on proposer input, staff may modify the RFP documents. All attendees will be formally noticed of any
changes. The BCC and County
Administrator will be notified by letter of any significant changes. Based on written proposals and oral
presentations a Selection Committee will evaluate and rank proposals based on
predetermined criteria listed in the RFP: retail concept development, company
background and experience, financial projections, Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) participation, management plan, and planned capital
investments. To qualify, a proposer must
have at least five (5) years of retail experience in an airport comparable to
PBIA in passenger volume. After
selection, the Agreement will be returned to the BCC for final review and
approval. Countywide (LMB)
