Board of Palm Beach County, for $7,680 without reservation of mineral and
petroleum rights;
C) approve a First Amendment to Access Agreement
(R2004-2175) with the School Board of Palm Beach County; and

SUMMARY: In 2004, the County acquired 3.72 acres of
property from the School Board located on the east side of Jog Road, south of
Northtree Boulevard in western Boynton Beach for development of a PBSO
Substation at the Park Vista High School site.
Subsequently, the School Board constructed a right-turn lane, a portion
of which encroached onto the County’s property.
As this encroachment does not interfere with the County’s use of the
property, the County will convey back to the School Board, the approximately
3,000 square feet upon which the driveway currently exists and amend the Access
Agreement to include the additional 3,000 square feet. The sale price of $7,680 ($2.56/sf) is the
same per square foot price as was paid by the County to the School Board in
2004. The School Board shall have up to one (1) year from the date of closing
to pay in cash or an approved offset against a future transaction with the
County as approved solely by the County.
The County acquired this property without reservation of mineral rights
and will reconvey it to the School Board in the same manner. Florida Statutes §270.11(3) allows the Board,
at its discretion, to convey its interest without reservation of mineral rights
upon request by purchaser. A Disclosure
of Beneficial Interest is not required to be provided in connection with this

C) approve a License Agreement with SFRTA to allow
County employees use of SFRTA restroom facilities and for the shared usage of
employee parking areas;
D) approve a Temporary Construction Easement with SFRTA; and
E) approve a Parking Agreement with SFRTA that requires
any future development of the ITF property to provide for 250 public parking
spaces for SFRTA riders;
F) approve a Parking Lot Easement Agreement with SFRTA
that allows SFRTA to develop a temporary public parking lot on the unused
portion of the ITF property; and
G) accept a Quitclaim Deed from the City of West Palm
Beach for .4 acres located at the southeast corner of Banyan Boulevard and
Clearwater Drive.
SUMMARY: The
County assembled 6.6 acres at the southeast corner of Banyan Boulevard and
Clearwater Drive for development of the ITF, including a Palm Tran bus transfer
station and additional facilities for Tri-Rail.
In 2003, the County conveyed .9 acres of this property to SFRTA for
right-of-way and development of SFRTA’s elevated crossover. These Easements and Agreements provide for
the unified development of the ITF. The
ITF is designed to enhance the public ground transportation network and bring
together the commuter rail and bus systems in a manner that facilitates
transfer between the different modes of public transportation. The City is requiring the entire 6.6 acre ITF
property be platted as a condition of site plan approval. Both the County and SFRTA are required to
execute the plat as property owners. The
SFRTA is expected to approve the plat on September 28, 2007. At SFRTA’s
insistence, the Parking Agreement requires that any future development of the
ITF property provide 250 parking spaces for SFRTA use. The County is scheduled to commence its work
in February of 2008. (PREM) District 7 (HJF)

motion to approve:
A) substitution of the legal description
attached to the Agreement for Exchange with the South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) (R-2007-0514); and
B) a revised Partial Assignment and Assumption
of Lease with the SFWMD.
SUMMARY: The County is in the process of acquiring
from SFWMD roughly 96.18 acres of property at 20-Mile Bend for development of a
Public Safety Training Facility, Public Shooting Park, and expansion of the
PBSO Law Enforcement Training Facility.
On April 10, 2007, the Board approved an Agreement for Exchange with
SFWMD (R2007–0514) (Exchange Agreement) for acquisition of this property. SFWMD subsequently discovered that it needs
to retain 1.59 acres of the property for an existing canal. This will reduce the acreage being conveyed
to the County to 94.59 and will be accomplished by substituting the legal
description attached as Exhibit A to the Exchange Agreement with the legal
description attached as Attachment 2 to the item. On July 10, 2007, the Board approved a
Partial Assignment and Assumption of Lease with SFWMD (R2007-1116) which will
assign, at closing, SFWMD’s interest in a farming lease encumbering portions of
the property. The revised Partial
Assignment deletes warranty language contained in the original document to
comply with Florida Statutes Section 373.099 which prohibits SFWMD from
warranting title to property. (PREM) Countywide/District 6 (HJF)

recommends motion to approve:
a Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement with Hippocrates Health
Institute of Florida, Inc., and Rita J. Romano.
SUMMARY: On April 1, 1991,
Hippocrates Health Institute, Inc. (HHI) paid guaranteed revenue fees (Fees) to
reserve potable water and wastewater capacity in order to develop an
approximately 12 acre site. The payment
of the Fees was in conjunction with a Standard Development Agreement (SDA)
executed by HHI, but not executed by the County. The project was not developed and the Fees
paid were never refunded. Subsequently,
Hippocrates Health Institute of Florida, Inc. (Hippocrates), purchased
properties adjoining the original 12 acre site and, along with Rita J. Romano
(Romano), also an owner of adjoining properties, plan to develop all properties
as a much larger project known as the Hippocrates Health Institute (Institute). In order to obtain potable water and
wastewater concurrency reservations for the Institute, Hippocrates and Romano
want to enter into a new Development Agreement (Agreement) that will supersede
and void the SDA but credit a portion of the Fees paid against the Agreement’s
Mandatory Agreement Payment (MAP) due under the Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, Hippocrates
agrees that they are the successors-in-interest to HHI, and Hippocrates and
Romano release the County from any claims in relation to the payment of Fees by
HHI. District 2 (MJ)

water service. During the initial term
of the agreement, the City was required to pay a commodity fee of $0.80 per

temporary nature of the agreement. This Amendment
extends the agreement to December 31, 2013, and requires the City to purchase
one (1) million gallons per day of capacity at a cost of $2,910,000, plus an
annual fee of $0.11 per gallon in 250,000 gallon increments to lease additional
potable water capacity on a temporary basis.
The City is initially requesting one (1) MGD of additional temporary
capacity and may convert its temporary capacity reservation at any time by
paying the bulk rate capacity fee ($2.91 per gallon) for permanent
service. The City is also required to
take or pay for a minimum of 2,000,000 gallons of potable water per day at the
existing rate of $0.80 per 1,000 gallons.
This rate will increase to $1.15 per 1,000 gallons on January 1, 2010,
plus an upward adjustment, calculated beginning January 1, 2006, in an amount
in amount equal to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Water and Sewerage
