B) Resolution No. 40-07 of the Town Council of the Town of Jupiter, Florida, related to potential future growth in the Mid-Western area of Palm Beach County to request that the Board of County Commissioners comprehensively address the Land Use and Transportation issues in the Mid-Western area.
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

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)

Order No. 9 to the Contract with James A. Cummings, Inc. increasing the contract in the amount of
$73,872 for the Long Term Parking Garage Structure No. 2 Project at PBIA.
There is no change in contract time in Change Order No. 9.
SUMMARY: On
May 16, 2006, the BCC approved the Construction Contract (R2006-0842) with
James A. Cummings, Inc. for construction services for the Long Term Parking
Garage at PBIA in the amount of $61,666,000.
Change Orders 1-7 were approved for a net increase to the contract in
the amount of $827,216 and no adjustment to the contract time. Amendment
No. 1 to the Contract will provide for additional contract language relating to
provisions for State of Florida sales and use tax exemption for
County-furnished materials, which will allow for substantial cost savings for
the County due to direct owner purchase of materials while still holding the
Contractor responsible for all matters relating to the receipt of materials and
equipment furnished by the County in accordance with the Special Provisions
contained in the Amendment. This
Amendment will allow for more than $26,000,000 in direct owner-purchased supplies
and equipment, resulting in a sales tax savings of approximately $1,425,200. Change Order No. 8 deducting the amount of
$27,534,855 will adjust the contract to delete the owner purchased materials
and includes payment of additional fees to administer the tax savings program. Approval of Change Order No. 9 in the amount
of $73,872 includes repairs to several columns on the existing parking garage
and modification to grade level wind frame sections. It is being brought to the BCC due to
exceeding the cumulative limit of the Lead Department/Contract Review
Committee. The Small Business Enterprise
(SBE) participation for Change Orders 8 and 9 is 0%. The total SBE contract goal including all
change orders is 16.26%. Countywide (JCM)

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
