A)  Resolution No. 2007-20 of the City Commission of the City of Coconut Creek, Florida, supporting Alternative “”C”, University Drive, as the Western Broward/Palm Beach Connector; and

                        2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a Modification to an award/contract (R2006-0747) (Charge Resolution Contract No. 6FPSLP0103) with the U.S. Equal  Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) allowing the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) to receive revenue in the total amount of $75,700 as payment for processing and resolving employment discrimination complaints.  SUMMARY:  Execution of this modified contract is required so that OEO can receive payment for processing and resolving complaints of employment discrimination pursuant to the Worksharing Agreement with the EEOC.  This Modification to the Charge Resolution Contract is for FY 2006-2007 and is in the amount of $75,700 ($74,250 - charge processing; $250 Intake Services, and $1,200 - attendance at EEOC sponsored annual training).  EEOC Charge Resolution Contracts for all Fair Employment Practices Agencies nationwide provide payment at a rate of $550 per charge.  OEO=s contract is for a total of 135 charges.  Countywide  (TKF)

 

 

                        3.         Staff recommends motion to adopt:  a Resolution to rename a designated portion of the U.S. Highway 1 Bridge in Jupiter as “Carlin White Bridge” in honor of William Carlin White.  SUMMARY: At the May 15, 2007 Board of County Commissioners meeting, Commissioner Marcus, under her comments asked staff to prepare a Resolution naming the U.S. Highway 1 Bridge in Jupiter after one of Palm Beach County’s pioneers, William Carlin White.  The Legislature passed Senate Bill 138 designating the U.S. Highway 1 Bridge that crosses the Loxahatchee River at the inlet in the City of Jupiter/Tequesta as “Carlin White Bridge”, but in order for FDOT to put up signs the County must pass a resolution.  FDOT has confirmed that they will be paying for the signs.  District 1  (DSW)

 

 

4.         Staff recommends motion to adopt:  a Resolution to support South Florida Water Management District’s request to the United States Congress to appropriate funds necessary to bring the Herbert Hoover Dike into compliance with current levee protection safety standards and to expedite funding for the improvements through prompt enactment of the energy and water appropriations bill or some other mechanism.  SUMMARY:   At the request of local community leaders, the Governing Board of the South Florida Water Management District commissioned an independent, expert review panel to evaluate all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers documents concerning the structural integrity of the 140 mile-long Herbert Hoover Dike surrounding Lake Okeechobee.  The report found that the dike does not meet current levee protection safety standards and therefore needs expedited Congressional appropriations to be brought into compliance with such standards.  District 6  (DSW)

B)  approve a County Deed in favor of the LWDD conveying 1.729 acres lying within the L-42 Canal right-of-way south of Yamato Road and east of State Road 7.

 

Summary:  In 1979, the County received a Special Warranty Deed from Boca Hamptons Management, Inc., that conveyed land at the S.E. corner of Yamato Road and US 441 for American Homes Park and lessed-out the adjacent L-42 Canal right-of-way, but did not specify its dimensions.  This created ambiguity as to the dimensions of the right-of-way owned by the LWDD.  On March 12, 2007, the County conveyed a portion of American Homes Park to Yamato Court LLC pursuant to an Exchange Agreement approved by the Board on February 15, 2005 (R2005-0371), and amended on January 9, 2007 (R2007-0072).  As LWDD is currently selling a portion of the L-42 canal right-of-way to Yamato Court, LWDD has requested the County disclaim any interest the County may have in the lessed-out L-42 Canal right-of-way (1.729 acres) to satisfy Yamato Court’s title agent as to the canal right-of-way limits.  Right-of-way maps and other documentation indicate that the right-of-way was 100' wide, and staff believes the County never held any interest in the subject 100' strip.  The County Deed will be granted to LWDD at no charge as it simply disclaims any land interest the County may have held.  (PREM)  District 5  (HJF)
