motion to approve: a Budget
Transfer of $960,000 in the Law Enforcement Impact Fees Fund from reserves to
establish a PBSO Marine Unit CIP project budget line. Summary: This
Transfer is needed to fund the design and construction of a new facility for
the PBSO Marine Unit/Underwater Search and Recovery Unit within Phil Foster
Park. The Marine Unit responsibilities include homeland security and the
protection of life and property by rendering assistance to endangered or
disabled vessels, rescue of capsized or injured boaters, rescue of lost divers,
regulation of boat traffic, the enforcement of boating and fish/wildlife laws,
and offshore interdiction operations for illegal immigration and drug
trafficking. In addition to the law enforcement services provided to the
waterways, the responsibilities of the Marine Unit are integral to
comprehensive and unique countywide law enforcement service supporting
traditional road patrol and investigative functions of PBSO such as evidence
retrieval and rescue/recovery services. Ninety-seven (97%) percent of the Unit
operations are in support of local law enforcement efforts with only 3% of its
efforts tied to support for Federal operations. However, Federal support is the primary source
of funding for the vessels used by the Marine Unit. This facility will provide
a facility for the Marine Unit to respond from in Central County, reducing
response time and placing it literally in the heart of its primary service
area. The project includes the build-out of 2,300 sq. ft. of space within a
building proposed for Phil Foster Park, the addition of a storage building, and
construction of docks for 6 vessels. This project was originally proposed for
design in the FY ‘10 budget for $1,700,000. However, by locating the project
within the Park and accelerating the design and construction to be concurrent
with an existing park improvement project at Phil Foster Park, the County will
realize over a 40% savings. Funding for
this project is from law enforcement impact fees and is entirely growth related.

over the County=s District Park AH@
property in unincorporated Boynton Beach.
Summary: The County is the owner of a 52 acre parcel of
property located just south of Boynton Beach Boulevard between Acme Dairy Road
and Lyons Road in western Boynton Beach.
The property was acquired from G.L. Homes as part of a civic site
assemblage for a District Park. The

the utility lines to provide capacity to service future development of the
County property. Staff recommends
granting this easement at no cost to the School Board, since the utility
easement will ultimately benefit the County by providing accessible
infrastructure for the future development of the County=s

the City of Belle Glade, to expand the scope of the project to include
installation of guardrails and posts on SW 8th Street, and extend
the expiration date from February 29, 2008, to July 31, 2008. SUMMARY: The agreement provides the City of Belle
Glade $948,900 in 2004 Disaster Recovery Initiative Program funds for drainage
improvements on SW 5th, 10th and 12th Streets, and on SW Avenues I and J, in
the City of Belle Glade. The residents
along SW 10th Street objected to the appearance of the guardrails
being installed in front of their homes.
To address this community concern an alternative high profile curb and
associated sidewalk is being installed and the surplus guardrails and posts
will be installed elsewhere in the project area for the benefit of neighborhood
residents. The guardrails and posts will
be installed on the east side of SW 8th Street between the roadway
and an abutting canal in order to provide a safety barrier. The addition of work on SW 8th
Street expands the scope of the project.
The City of Belle Glade will install these materials using its own
workforce. Due to design delays and

completed the study and prepared a final report, The 2007 Update of Impact Fees Prepared For Palm Beach County, January
5, 2008. BCC approval of this agenda item provides for the adoption of the
methodology with adjustments to the fees as described below. Based upon direction given by the Board of
County Commissioners at its meeting on April 15, 2008, the Ordinance amending Article
13, ULDC, provides for adjusting only those fee categories calculated in the
consultant’s report to decrease from their current adopted amounts. These reductions affect only selected
categories of the Law Enforcement impact fee, and are proposed to take effect
on August 20, 2008. In addition to fee
adjustments, the Ordinance amending Article 13 contains two policy revisions
accepted by the Board at its meeting on April 15, 2008: (1) to increase the
allowable administrative fee from 2% to 3.4%, the amount needed to cover the
core cost of administering the program; and (2) to create a public buildings
credit provision when civic sites are donated without specific, identified
uses. Countywide (LB)

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Tri-Party Agreement with the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections (SOE) and Runbeck Election Services, Inc. (Runbeck) for the use of the Sentio Ballot Printing System in the amount of $1,460,000;
B) Budget Transfer of $279,960 in the Optical Scan Voting Equipment
Fund to establish a transfer to the Ballot-on-Demand Equipment Fund; and
C) Budget Amendment of $279,960 in the Ballot-on-Demand Equipment
Fund to provide sufficient budget for the FY 2008 payment to Runbeck.
SUMMARY: As mandated by the
Florida Legislature, the SOE is currently in the process of converting from
touch screen to optical scan voting equipment.
The Sentio Ballot Printing System for ballot-on-demand printing is the
only system certified by the State of Florida for printing paper ballots for
early voting and absentee ballots used in conjunction with optical scan voting
equipment. Through the negotiation
process, a tri-party agreement was reached with the SOE and Runbeck for the use
of 31 base printing systems, inclusive of early voting software, absentee
voting software, integrated production software, security and audit
functionality, and pricing for ballot paper and printer related consumables.
The total equipment cost for the use of the Sentio Ballot Printing System is $1,460,000
for a four (4) year period. The cost of
the paper ballots and printer related consumables are charged per ballot in the
form of a ballot service fee, will be billed based on actual usage, and is
estimated for the four (4) year period to be approximately $970,000. The County has the option to renew this
agreement for four (4) additional one (1) year periods at the cost of
approximately 25% of the original cost per unit. Countywide (DN)
2. Staff recommends motion to approve on
preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on June 17, 2008 at 9:30
a.m.: an
Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending
Ordinance 2007-006, revoking the ad valorem tax exemption granted to Florida
Turbine Technologies, Inc.; providing for title; providing for enactment
authority; providing for revocation of exemption/recovery of funds; providing for repeal of laws in conflict;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and
Ordinances; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Board adopted Ordinance 2007-006 Economic
Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Ordinance with Florida Turbine
Technologies, Inc. on May 15, 2007. The
Ordinance provided a four (4) year exemption for 100% of the assessed value of
all qualifying tangible personal property acquired and added improvements to
real property, excluding land. While
Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc. has successfully contracted for the design,
development and manufacturing of missile aerospace technology, they were unable
to create and retain the required number of jobs in 2007. They received a tax exemption of $23,104.43
for 2007. Due to their failure to
achieve the job creation/retention goals, they have submitted these funds in
payment of the applicable tax. Countywide (DW)

B. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution
authorizing amendments to the Indenture of Trust and Loan Agreement for the
County’s issuance of up to $13,000,000 Variable Rate Demand Revenue bonds (The
Palm Beach Jewish Community Campus Corporation Project), Series 1997 (the
“Bonds”), authorizing a remarketing circular for the Bonds and providing for an
effective date. SUMMARY: The Bonds were authorized by Resolution R1997-1060 on August 19, 1997
and issued on October 1, 1997. The proceeds were used by The Palm
Beach Jewish Community Campus Corporation (the “Company”) to build facilities
at Jog Road and Gateway Boulevard and at North Military Trail and Community
Boulevard. The Bonds are secured by bond
insurance issued by Ambac and by a liquidity facility from The Northern Trust
Company. Due to the rating downgrade of
Ambac, the Bond documents are being amended to add a letter of credit to be
provided by The Northern Trust Company. The Bonds are payable solely from revenues
derived from the Company, and neither the taxing power nor the
faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay
principal or redemption premiums, if any, or interest on the Bonds. Districts

that County funds be invested consistently with the “Protecting Florida’s
Investments Act” by identifying companies
doing business with Iran’s energy sector and with the Sudan, and divesting from
those companies; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: This Resolution will implement, as to County
investment funds, the provisions of the State’s “Protecting Florida’s
Investments Act,” Chapter 2007-88, Laws of Florida, by divesting from companies
doing business with Iran’s energy sector and the Sudan. The Investment Policy Committee recommends
adopting this Resolution, which will not affect the County’s investment

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Notice of Cancellation of the Grove Management Agreement with Lantana Farm Associates, Inc. (R2004-2539). Summary: On December 21, 2004, the Board approved a Grove Management Agreement (R2004-2539) with Lantana Farm Associates, Inc. to lease approximately 530 acres of the Mecca Property, for continued cultivation and harvesting of citrus crops on a rent free basis. The initial term of the Agreement was for one (1) year ending on August 1, 2005. The First Amendment to Grove Management Agreement was approved by the Board on July 12, 2005 (R2005-1337) and extended the term of this Agreement for one (1) year, with three (3) automatic one (1) year extensions, unless either party elects not to extend this Agreement. The current extension will expire August 1, 2008. Lantana Farm Associates is no longer actively cultivating the citrus trees and staff recommends regaining control of the property to pursue leasing the property for row crop farming. This notice will terminate the Grove Management Agreement effective August 1, 2008. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)
D. OFFICE OF FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT & BUDGET
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the County to obtain a line of credit in the principal amount of $38,772,732 to support the issuance of letters of credit to satisfy the debt service reserve funding requirements for seven (7) of the County’s outstanding bonds issues; approving the form of and authorizing the execution of a Loan Agreement with Bank of America, N.A.; and providing for an effective date; and
B) authorize Office of Financial Management & Budget (OFMB) to prepare a transfer of $47,100 from the General Fund Contingency and amend the seven (7) debt service funds.
Summary: Seven (7)
series of the County’s outstanding bonds issued between 1990 and 2007 have debt
service reserve funds that are funded by debt service reserve surety policy
issued by a municipal bond insurance company that has had its AAA credit rating
downgraded below a level specified in the bond resolutions. Staff and the
County’s financial advisor have determined that replacing the sureties with
letters of credit from an AA rated bank is the most cost efficient way to
satisfy the debt service reserve requirement.
The term of the above line and letters of credit is one (1) year subject
to renewal by the County and acceptance by the Bank. The County anticipates renewing the above
letters of credit or replacing them in accordance with the bond resolutions. If the ratings of the municipal bond insurers
are restored, the County will terminate the letters of credit. The fees are payable quarterly and will be
approximately $117,000 annually. The
fees plus cost of issuance for FY 2008 will not exceed $47,100 and will be paid
from General Fund Contingency. The
annual fees are included in the FY 2009 Budget. Countywide (PFK)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Reclaimed Water Agreement with Florida Power and Light
(FP&L) to supply reclaimed water for the West County Energy Center;
B) Interlocal Agreement with East Central Regional Wastewater
Treatment Facilities Operation Board (ECRWTFOB) and the City of West Palm Beach
(WPB) related to the construction, operation, and maintenance of reclaimed
water facilities;
C) Interlocal Agreement with WPB related to reclaimed water
service;
D) Supplement No. 2 to Consultant Service Authorization No. 21 to
the contract with Jordan Jones and Goulding, Inc. (R2005-0775) for design,
permitting and bidding of the ECRWRF Reclaimed Water Facility in the lump sum
amount of $1,634,875;
E) Consultant Services Authorization No. 49 to the contract with
Heller-Weaver & Sheremeta, Inc. (R2005-0778) for reclaimed water pipeline
surveying and mapping services in the amount of $ $695,957; and
F) Consultant Services Authorization No. 73 to the contract with
Mathews Consulting, Inc. (R2005-0777) for design, permitting and bidding of the
FP&L on-site reclaimed water facilities in the amount of $466,588.
SUMMARY: The Agreement with
FP&L provides for reclaimed water to become the primary source of cooling
water supply to the West County Energy Center in 2011 and for FP&L to
construct a 27 MGD reclaimed water facility at the East Central Regional
Wastewater Reclamation Facility (ECRWRF) with a pipeline to the West County
Energy Center. FP&L will utilize
reclaimed water for cooling instead of Floridan Acquifer water thereby
conserving the Floridan Aquifer for future drinking water supply. FP&L will
reimburse the County for consultant and in-house design services for the
reclaimed water facilities and piping.
The estimated $70,000,000 construction cost will be amortized over 30
years and paid in full by FP&L. Bonds
will be issued by the County prior to the start of construction. The Agreement with FP&L is for 30 years
of reclaimed water supply beginning in 2011 with three additional ten-year
options for renewal. The Agreement
provides for FP&L to have the first right of service and that interruptible
reclaimed water may be provided to other users if is not required by FP&L
thereby providing a potential benefit to communities in the vicinity of the
reclaimed water transmission main. The
Interlocal Agreement with the ECRWTFOB and WPB provides for allocation of
secondary effluent to the County and for the County to construct a 27 MGD
reclaimed water facility at the ECRWRF site. The ECRWRF currently has a
capacity to treat 70 MGD of wastewater and the average daily flow is 40
MGD. The FP&L reclaimed water
facility will average 22 MGD and is anticipated to operate continuously
throughout the year significantly reducing deep well injection at the ECRWRF
thereby conserving water resources.
The Agreement with WPB provides
for interruptible reclaimed water for three (3) developments within the city
limits. WPB agrees to allow the pipeline
to the West Coast Energy Center to be located to the south of the WPB catchment
area berm, thereby minimizing wetland mitigation. In addition, WPB agrees to a step-in
provision which allows an outside contractor to operate the reclaimed water
facility to be built at the ECRWRF in certain emergency situations.
