Amendment to the Contract for Pay Telephone Concession at Palm Beach
International Airport (PBIA) with Embarq Payphone Services, Inc., f/k/a Sprint
Payphone Services, Inc., extending the term of the Contract through February
29, 2008. SUMMARY: On July 24, 2002,
the Board approved a Contract for Pay Telephone Concession at PBIA (Contract
No. 01-186/PR) with Sprint Payphone Services, Inc. In March 2006, Sprint Payphone Services
changed its name to Embarq Payphone Services, Inc. The initial term of the Contract expired on
February 28, 2005. The County exercised
its two (2) options to extend the Contract, which were for a period of one (1)
year each. Under the current Contract,
Embarq Payphone Services pays the County for the right to provide pay telephone
services at PBIA. It is anticipated that
the County will have to pay for the provision of pay telephone services when
the contract is re-bid. Due to declining
revenues, few companies are interested in providing pay telephone services as a
concession. Extending the term of the
Contract will ensure pay telephone services remain available for passengers at
PBIA while continuing to provide the County with additional concession
revenues. Countywide (AH)

(R2003-1543) in the amount of $1,475,068.27 to increase the cost of the PBSO Aviation Unit Facility establishing a total Guarantee Maximum Price (GMP) of $5,650,000. Summary: This project consists of a new hangar for PBSO (with a sublease to West Palm Beach Police) and relocation of the existing fuel facility to a location acceptable to the Department of Airports. On September 12, 2006, the Board approved Amendment No. 10 with Catalfumo Construction, Ltd. (R2006-2007) for construction management services for the construction of a 16,320 square foot Aviation Unit Facility, in the amount of $4,174,931.73. This price was based on a conceptual program absent of detailed plans. Subsequent to approval, the design development process unveiled unforeseen code requirements, additional operational considerations, and airport-related constructability issues which impacted the scope of the project. These factors resulted in increased costs beyond those established in the original price. Amendment No. 12 encompasses these additional costs with a revised completion time of 335 days for the hangar and 90 additional days for the fuel tank relocation. The SBE goal for this project is 15%. Catalfumo is aware of the SBE requirement and has reconfirmed to staff its commitment to exceed that goal.

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve an Interlocal Agreement with Martin County to
reimburse Martin County for expenses related to a regional water resource study
that includes evaluating restoration options for Palm Beach County natural
areas and improving the timing and quantity of water deliveries to the
Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River at a reimbursement cost not-to-exceed
$50,000; and
B) authorize the County
Administrator or his designee to sign any and all future time extensions,
certifications, change orders and other forms associated with this Agreement.
Summary: Palm Beach County has completed
acquisition of more than 6,636-acres of natural area west of Jupiter Farms that
is part of the watershed for the Loxahatchee River. An evaluation of how various restoration
techniques might affect the way rainfall accumulates and discharges from the
site is needed. Hydrologic models are
commonly used for this type of evaluation and, in this case, the presence of an
ongoing study in the basins immediately north of the natural area and the
discovery of existing connections between them make adding the natural area to
the study an efficient mechanism of accomplishing the task of evaluation. Countywide (SF)

HEARINGS - 9:30 A.M. (Motion to receive
and file: Proof of publication)
A. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: 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.

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Amendment to the local policies developed
to initiate and administer a revolving business loan program funded by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development=s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program.
SUMMARY: HUD approved Palm
Beach County's request for Section 108 funding on September 26, 2002. The program was developed to create a
dedicated source of loan funding for use by businesses, investors, communities
and non-profit community and economic development organizations to implement
business ventures which will create well-paying jobs and help to revitalize
local communities. The proposed Amendment
to these policies is intended to institute a change in the mission statement
and program objectives to reflect that the program will be solely administered
by the Office of Economic Development. Additionally, the changes will provide
additional safeguards to the County and will make the program more
user-friendly to the business community. Other changes will provide clarity on the loan
fees and costs and on the eligible activities permitted by the program. Because this Amendment will not impact Palm
Beach County's HUD-approved underwriting guidelines, HUD review and approval is
not required. The proposed Amendment
will also create a change in the format and layout of the existing Community
Development Business Loan Application. Countywide (DW)

RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
1. Staff
recommends motion to accept: the
Donation of a 78.2-acre preserve area from Carleton Oaks Homeowners
Association, Inc. (the HOA) to be incorporated into the Loxahatchee Slough
Natural Area (LOS) and managed by the County’s Department of Environmental
Resources Management (ERM), subject to: 1) the preserve area being brought into
compliance with the applicable South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
and United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) permits; 2) the HOA making a
$20,000 one time contribution towards the perpetual maintenance of the
preserve; and 3) satisfactory completion of County due diligence. Summary: On November 10, 2006, the HOA submitted an
Application for the Acceptance of Conservation Lands for their 78.2-acre
preserve area. As proposed in their
application and conditioned above, the HOA will meet all of the nine (9)
primary criteria listed in the policy prior to closing, except for only
partially meeting the financial commitment (No. 8) and public access (No. 7). The one time donation of $20,000 will not be
sufficient to fund perpetual land management (currently estimated at $15,000
per year) and the conservation easement will be modified post-closing to allow
for public access. District 1

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) an Agreement between Palm Beach County and Frenchman’s Yacht Club
Developers, LLC, for resolution of a breach of contract claim arising out of a
settlement in the eminent domain matter styled Palm Beach County v. Hartsel
Ranch Corp, et al., Case No. 501996CK008184XXXXMB, in the amount of
$100,000; and
B) a
Budget Amendment of $100,000 in the County Transportation Trust Fund to
recognize the developer contribution and increase the appropriation to fund the
Agreement.
SUMMARY: The County acquired Parcels 1, 2, 123, 1E and 2C for improvement to the
southeast corner of Prosperity Farms Road and Donald Ross Road pursuant to an
Agreed Order of Taking entered on January 28, 1997. A Stipulated Final Judgment was entered on
September 3, 1997, with the stipulation that the County was to install and
maintain a fully directional traffic signal, with turn arrows at the existing
main entrance to Frenchman’s Marina (n/k/a Frenchman’s Yacht Club Developers,
LLC) on Donald Ross Road. Subsequently,
the City of Palm Beach Gardens required that the signal be a mast-arm type,
which is considerably more expensive than what the County envisioned (but did
not identify) in the Stipulated Final Judgment.
The parties have reached a conditional settlement whereby Frenchman’s
will pay $100,000 towards the cost of the mast-arm signal, subject to the approval
of the Board of County Commissioners. District

motion to approve: a Road Extension Agreement with
Callery-Judge Grove, L.P. (Callery) and Seminole Improvement District for
acquisition of .446 acres, at no cost, in connection with construction of the
County’s Acreage Communities’ facilities.
Summary: On June 20, 2006, the Board approved a
Settlement Agreement (R2006-1177) with Callery and on September 5, 2006, the
County acquired a total of approximately 12.66 acres (12.02 site and .644
access road) from Callery for development of County facilities (fire station
and library). The property is located
west of Seminole Pratt across from the Grove Market Shopping Center, in
unincorporated Loxahatchee. As provided
in the Settlement Agreement, the County and Callery agreed to relocate the
proposed fire station approximately 200 feet west which requires a 200 foot (.446
acres) extension to the currently designated access road. This Road Extension
Agreement provides for Callery to convey the additional right-of-way required
for the road extension. Callery will
have the first right of refusal to repurchase the property, at the then current
fair market value, should the County decide to sell all or any portion of the
road within the first 20 years from the date of conveyance. This Road Extension Agreement provides for
Callery to pay all closing costs and to reimburse the County $51,069.35 at
closing for the re-design costs associated with the relocation of the fire
station. Closing is scheduled to occur
within ten (10) days of Board approval.
Subsequent to the conveyance to the County, the entire access road will
be dedicated for use as public road right-of-way. Should Callery develop its property adjacent
to the access road, the County will convey the entire access road property to
Seminole Improvement District. (PREM) District 6 (JMB)

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a First Amendment to Lease Agreement (R2001-0582) with Bedner Farm, Inc.
for 262 acres in the Ag Reserve; and
B) adopt a Resolution finding that an
extension of the Lease Agreement with Bedner Farm, Inc. is in the best interest
of the County.
Summary: On
June 19, 2001, the Board approved a contract with Bedner Farm, Inc. to acquire
approximately 262 acres in the Ag Reserve (R2001-0582). Simultaneously with the closing, the County
leased the property back to Bedner Farm for a term of ten (10) years at an
initial rental rate of $550/acre/year.
Rent is currently $600/acre/year.
The Lease will expire in 2011.
Bedner Farm is operated by the Bedner family which wants to ensure that
the younger members of the family will have the ability to continue
farming. In addition, they desire to
make improvements to their facilities in order to meet current more stringent
FDA requirements for food handling and processing. Their planned expansion and renovation of
their packing plant will require a significant financial investment which can
not be recovered over the four (4) years remaining on their Lease. Consequently, the Bedner’s have requested an
extension of their Lease for an additional twelve (12) years until 2023. This First Amendment to Lease Agreement
provides Bedner Farm, Inc. twelve (12) additional options to extend the term of
the Lease, each for a period of one (1) year.
Rent during the extended term will be adjusted to fair market value as
determined by appraisal and updated every 3-5 years. The Resolution finds that the extension of
the Bedner Lease is in the best interests of the County based upon the
following facts: 1) a major element of the Ag Reserve Acquisition Program was
to ensure continued agricultural operations in the Ag Reserve; 2) continuity of
farming operations assists in preserving agricultural operations in the Ag
Reserve; 3) extension of the Bedner
Lease to maintain continuity of existing farming operations; and 4) the County will receive fair market value
rent as determined by appraisal during the extensions. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)
