the law firm of Greenberg Traurig, P.A. (“Attorney”), to provide bond counsel

G. OFFICE
OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET
1. Staff recommends

Refunding Bonds, Series 1993 Debt Service Reserve Fund to recognize interest
income and transfer remaining funds to Capital Outlay Fund to fund future

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution rescinding and replacing Resolution No. R2008-0864 pertaining to the Public Art Committee (Committee); and
B) approve the nomination of new Committee member Dorotha G. Lemeh to fill the vacant PBC resident with significant visual art background seat.
SUMMARY: The replacement Resolution modifies Committee member duties and adds three (3) year terms for Committee appointments/reappointments. This Resolution also extends the termination date of the Committee for five (5) years from the date of the passage of the Resolution. In addition, the BCC is being asked to approve the nomination of Dorotha G. Lemeh to the Committee for a term of three (3) years. (FDO Admin) Countywide (MJ)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment No. 4 to
Contract with The Gordian Group, Inc. (R2005-1489) for consulting/professional
services in conjunction with the Job Ordering Contract (JOC) system extending
the Contract until August 15, 2010 and increasing the not-to-exceed limit from
$504,000 to $600,000. SUMMARY: Amendment No. 4 is an extension to the sole
source Contract with The Gordian Group, Inc. The Gordian Group provides professional
services required to implement the JOC system to facilitate renovation, repair,
and/or maintenance of improvement projects. Compensation is 1.5% of the dollar
value of issued JOC work orders. Staff is bringing forward the Amendment at
this time based on expiration of the term as well as pending work which would
exceed the value assigned to the Contract. The Gordian Group’s current standard
fee for maintenance and support services is 1.95% for the first $10 million in
construction per year, and 1.5% thereafter. The County has successfully kept
its fee at 1.5% for all work since 1997. Due to language in their contracts
with other government agencies, The Gordian Group is no longer able to offer
new contracts to anyone at less than their standard fee of 1.95%. The Gordian
Group is able to offer the County an extension to our existing Contract at the
current 1.5% fee for an additional two (2) year period. This Amendment will
allow the County to accept the 30% fee discount offered for the maximum one (1)
year extension period allowed by the Purchasing Ordinance. All other terms of
the original contract remain in effect. (FD&O Admin) Countywide (JM)
3. Staff recommends

reclaimed water from the ECRWRF to the Center. FP&L competitively bid the reclaimed water
treatment facility. Wharton-Smith was the low bidder and selected the vendors
for the materials and equipment.
FP&L has entered into a construction contract with Wharton-Smith,
Inc. on May 6, 2009, for construction of the reclaimed water treatment facility
at the ECRWRF. The Reclaimed Water Agreement (R2008-0906) with FP&L states

necessary to procure materials for the construction of the Reclaimed Water
Project. Florida Statute Section
212.08(6) and Florida Administrative Code Rule 12A-1.094 provides for an
exemption of sales tax if the purchaser is a governmental entity. By purchasing
materials and equipment directly from the vendors listed in the Purchase Orders,
total sales tax savings of $257,102.18 can be

County the cost of the Purchase Orders. The
County Attorney’s Office has submitted a Technical Assistance Advisement request
to the Florida Department of Revenue to confirm eligibility for sales tax
exemption. If the State of Florida

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Sublease between Palm Beach County and Huttig Building Products, Inc., for approximately 76,000 square feet of warehouse space for the Supervisor of
Elections (SOE) for support operations and Election Day vote tabulation, for a
term of five (5) years, with a renewal option ending June 21, 2016. SUMMARY:
Due to the need to handle massive amounts of paper from the change in the
voting system for 2008, the Airport Department’s partially used warehouse
(commonly known as Sky Chef) on the north side of PBIA, was leased to the
County on behalf of the SOE. The SOE
does not find Sky Chef to be acceptable for future use. Among reasons stated are: insufficient space,
poor layout of space and second floor access issues. The SOE further stated
that time is of the essence due to the upcoming election cycle. The SOE has identified space at 7835
Central Industrial Drive, Riviera Beach, Florida to accommodate this function, and pursuant to Board direction from the
June 2, 2009, has negotiated a sublease with Huttig. The lease costs and site improvements are
similar in costs that would have been incurred by remaining at the Sky Chef
facility, and the SOE has stated that these costs will be absorbed within the
current and future budgets.
The Sublease imposes a chargeback against the
County in the amount of $450,000 in the event the County does not exercise its
option to renew. The SOE and staff anticipate the County will exercise such
option and thereby avoid such chargeback because staff does not expect to have
completed construction of new facilities for this function by the expiration of
the term of the Sublease. The Sublease
requires Huttig to construct a demising wall and separately meter certain
utilities, requires the SOE to install suitable HVAC, and associated
electrical, and to accept the Premises As-Is and maintain the subleased
premises with the exception of the roof foundation and structural components,
which are Huttig’s responsibility. Rent is fully abated until January 1, 2010
and discounted until January 1, 2011.
The SOE will pay a pro-rata share of taxes and expenses for the
subleased premises. The use of the
subleased premises is limited to SOE purposes. Countywide (HF)

1. Staff:
A) requests Board direction: regarding a request for rent reductions by our tenants leasing agricultural property in the Ag Reserve; and
B) recommends motion to approve: the termination of the Lease with Mecca Farms, Inc., of the 215-acre Amestoy Farm effective as of September 1, 2007.
SUMMARY: The farmers and nurserymen, who lease property from the County, are requesting reductions in the rent they pay the County. The Board requested that this matter be brought back for further consideration. While it is difficult to quantify the net financial impact of changing market conditions upon the farmers, costs have clearly gone up by roughly 30%, row crop revenues appear to have remained relatively stable and nursery revenues have decreased substantially. Recent appraisal data indicates that rents for row crop land have decreased to $500/net acre ($350/gross acre). In February, the Board approved a reduction in rent under the Pero/McMurrain Lease to $500/gross acre. Bowman and Bedner are asking for a 30% reduction in rent under their leases to $450/acre. Pero is seeking a reduction to $500/gross acre for the York Farm Lease. The nursery operators, Floral Acres and K&M, are seeking reductions of 50%. Currently, Floral Acres pays $1,318/acre and K&M pays $1,800/acre. Nurseries have been hit hard by the economic downturn. Unfortunately, there is not much specific data upon which to base a decision on rents other than the recent appraisal of row crop land rents, which in the case of Pero represented a 62% reduction. The farmers have not shared detailed information on their operating performance, but Staff has reviewed summary data showing that their profits have decreased substantially, with the nurseries actually operating at a loss. Options available to the Board are to cancel and rebid all Ag Leases, adopt a new rental rate for all Ag Leases, or adopt the rates requested by the farmers. Staff would recommend that if the Board is inclined to support a rent reduction without rebidding, that a uniform rate of $500/gross acre for row crops and $1,000/acre for nurseries be established, and the rents be revisited every 2-3 years, such that in the event market conditions improve, the rents will be increased. Rents from the Leases are allocated to maintenance of Environmentally Sensitive Lands. The total reduction in annual revenue proposed by the farmers would be $1,369,426.
Mecca Farms is asking to be let out of their Lease of the 215-acre Amestoy property. This Lease runs through 2011 and the rent was $1,723/acre. Shortly after entering into the Lease in 2006, Mecca Farms attempted to obtain permits for water use and drainage, but due to recent changes in regulations, discovered that they would be unable to obtain permits for drainage without a total redesign of the drainage system. In August of 2007, Mecca Farms notified the County that they would be unable to obtain required permits and stopped paying rent. Staff supports Mecca Farms’ request to be released from the Lease effective as of September 1, 2007, in that it will enable the County to lease the property to another farmer, although it is likely that the rent will be much lower.

2. Staff requests Board direction: on
a request by the Mayfair House Association to obtain an Encroachment License
Agreement for encroachments on the Old Ocean Boulevard right-of-way without charge. SUMMARY: The right-of-way for Old Ocean Boulevard
runs along the dune and beach from Sloans Curve in Palm Beach, south to Ocean
Avenue at the Lantana/Boynton line. The
Road was washed out in the 50’s, condominiums were constructed in the 70’s and
80’s which encroached into the right-of-way and in the early 90’s the County
attempted to reassert control over the north end right-of-way in South Palm
Beach by requiring the encroaching property owners to enter into encroachment
permit agreements and pay fees equal to 10% of the appraised value of the land
encroached upon. The property owners strenuously objected to the program and
agreements were reached only with those property owners with the most extensive
encroachments at reduced rates. This is the first property to be addressed in
the South section of the right-of-way. The Mayfair House condominium was
constructed in 1974. A portion of one
condominium tower is 6 feet away from this right-of-way and the pool deck and
concrete apron encroaches 10’-15’ into the right-of-way. The total area encroached upon is roughly
3,750 square feet. At 10% of assessed
value, this would equate to a permit fee of $75,000. Staff negotiated an Encroachment License
Agreement with Mayfair House which, similar to the other agreements, allow the encroachments to remain in place until such time
that the County intends to reconstruct a road, which is unlikely to ever
occur. The Agreement also gives the
County an easement for beach and dune restoration and public access over, but
not to, the beach. Staff supports
allowing the encroachments to remain, but requires direction as to whether
Mayfair House should be charged a fee.
The Mayfair House Condominium has through the years suffered extensive
damage during Hurricane and other storm events from waves breaking over their
seawall. They have obtained permits to
reconstruct and elevate their seawall, conditioned upon obtaining this
Encroachment Agreement. (PREM) District 4 (HJF)
D. PURCHASING
1. Staff recommends motion to approve on
preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on August 18, 2009 at 9:30
a.m.: an
Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
to be entitled the “Palm Beach County Local Preference Ordinance;” repealing
and replacing Sections 2-80.41 through 2-80.48 of the Palm Beach County Code,
which codified Ordinance No. 2002-065 establishing a “Local Preference in
Purchasing Ordinance;” providing for a title; providing for definitions; providing
for a reciprocal preference for local businesses; providing for a straight
preference for local businesses; providing for a straight preference for Glades
businesses for certain procurements; providing for a straight preference for
the use of Glades subcontractors by local businesses; providing for interlocal
agreements; providing for waiver; providing for limitations; authorizing the
County Administrator or designee to develop rules and regulations; 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 current Local Preference Ordinance (Ordinance
No. 2002-065), which was adopted in 2002, established a 5% straight local preference
for local businesses. It also established a 5% reciprocal preference for local
businesses competing against vendors from Martin, Broward and Miami-Dade
Counties that is applied when a local preference ordinance or policy
established by one of those Counties is utilized against Palm Beach County
vendors. In addition to the 5% straight local preference and the 5%
reciprocal preference for local businesses, the proposed Ordinance Amendment
establishes a 5% straight local preference for Glades businesses competing
against local or non-local vendors for goods or services to be utilized in the
Glades and for any construction projects located in the Glades. The
proposed Ordinance Amendment also establishes a straight 3% or 4% preference
for local businesses using Glades subcontractors for goods or services to be
utilized in the Glades or for any construction projects located in the
Glades. Countywide (DW)

A) approve Contract with
Preferred Governmental Claims Solutions - PGCS with guaranteed unallocated

July 31, 2012, at an annual estimated cost to the Board of $136,100, $134,600, $139,600 for years one (1) through three (3) respectively,
with a full contract estimated cost of $410,300, plus allocated claim specific

B) adopt Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing the establishment of a bank account
with Wachovia for payment of workers’ compensation claims with a beginning reserve
deposit of $750,000.
SUMMARY: As part of the Fiscal Year 2010 budget
reduction strategies, staff recommends privatizing the claims adjusting and
medical bill paying functions of the self-insured/self-administered workers’
compensation program. To that end, an RFP was released for third party
administration services. Currently, the adjusting and billing functions of the
County’s self-insured workers’ compensation program include four (4) full-time
positions and dedicated ISS professional services, at a projected cost of
$360,325 for Fiscal Year 2010. This
proposed privatization will result in the elimination and layoff of four (4)
filled positions. Comparatively, the
projected administration, billing and ISS professional costs for onsite third
party administration for Fiscal Year 2010 are $179,732. Additional savings to
this program will be realized through network preferred provider organization
(PPO) discounts and prescription benefit management negotiated discounts. It is
estimated that total savings to the Risk Management budget will exceed $400,000
in its first year. Countywide (TKF)

26 4H REVISED
MOTION, TITLE & SUMMARY:
Staff recommends motion to adopt:
A)
approve Road Program Findings of Fact (per Article 12.N.4.B
of the Unified Land Development Code) that the deletion of the three
construction projects will not result in any Link or intersection on the road
network operating at greater than the Adopted LOS and that no project which was
approved and phased based upon such Assured Construction would be denied
Building Permits because of the deletion of the construction. The three projects that have meet this
criteria to delay the construction are Approve delaying construction of
Boca Rio Rd., Palmetto Park Rd. to Boca Lago Blvd.; Congress Ave., S. of
Lantana Rd. to Lantana Rd., and Hatton Hwy at H.G.W.C.D. E-2 Canal; and
B) adopt an Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 85-40, as
amended, establishing an amended Five-Year Road Program (Program); providing
for title; purpose; adoption of revised program and revised list of projects
contained in exhibit “a”; implementation of the program; modification of
program; funding of other roadway improvements; interpretation of exhibit;
repeal of laws in conflict; severability; inclusion in the code of laws and
ordinances; and effective date.
SUMMARY: In accordance with Article 12.N.4.B of the Unified Land
Development Code, and prior to the deletion of any construction project from
the County’s Five-Year Road Program, the Board must determine that the Findings
of Fact have been made. Since the development and adoption of Palm Beach
County’s Five-Year Road Program on December 2, 2008, the progress and evolution
of current and near-term projects has continued to be monitored. Costs and
revenues have been updated and in some cases, additional needs have been
identified. Revisions are being proposed
to modify the Program to reflect this updated information. A Mid Year Ordinance
Amendment with a preliminary reading and a Public Hearing is required in order
to accomplish this. On June, 16, 2009, the Board approved this Amendment on preliminary
reading and authorized advertisement for today’s Public Hearing for final
adoption. Countywide (MRE) (Engineering)
A) waive the ordinance enactment notice requirements
of Section 125.66(2), Florida Statutes, declaring that an emergency exists and
that the immediate enactment of an ordinance adopting and establishing an
employee voluntary separation incentive program is necessary, pursuant to the
emergency enactment procedure set forth in Section125.66(3), Florida Statutes;
and
B) adopt an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm
Beach County, Florida, adopting and establishing a Palm Beach County employee
voluntary separation incentive program; providing for short title; providing
for purpose; providing for eligibility criteria; providing for voluntary
separation incentives; providing for implementation; providing for captions;
providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing
for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; and providing for effective
date.
SUMMARY: On July 13, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to
proceed with developing a voluntary separation incentive program for its
employees. Section 215.425, Florida Statutes, requires that a county program
offering its employees additional incentives to voluntarily end their
employment must be adopted by ordinance before it can be implemented. As a
result, staff drafted this ordinance for the Board’s consideration. However,
for this program to be an effective tool for staff to address the budgetary
issues now facing the County, it must be implemented as soon as possible before
the end of the current fiscal year on September 30, 2009. Regular enactment of
an ordinance requires notice to be published at least 10 days before enactment.
The Board meeting today is less than 10 days after July 13, 2009, and waiting
until the Boards next regular meeting on August 18, 2009, to enact the
ordinance would not give staff sufficient time to fully implement the program
before September 30, 2009. Pursuant to the emergency ordinance enactment
procedure in Section 125.66(3), Florida Statutes, the
Board may enact an ordinance with a waiver of the regular notice requirements
by a four-fifths vote of the membership, declaring that an emergency exists and
that immediate enactment of this ordinance is necessary. Countywide (EC) (County Attorney)
27 5A-1 TIME CERTAIN 2:00 P.M. & NEW MOTION &
NEW SUMMARY:
Staff requests Board direction: regarding the County response to the Investigation of County Governance and Public Corruption Issues by the Palm Beach County Grand Jury.

Staff has prepared a review of the findings and is providing recommendations for Board consideration to address the issues raised. Staff will also provide a response to the Clerk’s Debt Issuance Process Review. Countywide (DN) (Adm.)
27 5A-3 REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY:

County and Huttig Building
Products, Inc., for approximately
76,000 square feet of warehouse space
for the Supervisor of Elections (SOE) for support operations and election day

June 21, 2016.; and
B) a consent to Sublease between RREEF America
Reit II Corp. S, the Prime Landlord, Huttig Building Products, Inc., the

(commonly known as Sky Chef) on the north side of PBIA, was leased to the
County on behalf of the SOE. . . . The
Consent to Sublease contains the Prime Landlord’s consent to the Sublease, as
required by the Prime Lease. Countywide (AH)(Admin/SOE)

C) administrative adjustments to establish funding in the FY
2010 budget for capital projects approved and established in the current fiscal

2010 budget for designated fund balances for contingency and other projects and

and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2010 budget. These adjustments will have no impact on proposed
ad valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative budget to be
presented at the first public hearing.
SUMMARY: Proposed millage rates are below roll-back for County Library, and
