motion to approve: a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (R1999-2239)
with Jet Aviation Associates, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, (Jet
Aviation) providing for a reduction in the ground area leased to Jet Aviation
at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) by 847 square feet, resulting in
a decrease in annual rental by approximately $550.55. SUMMARY: Jet
Aviation provides fixed-based operator services for general aviation aircraft
at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) pursuant to a Lease Agreement
dated November 23, 1999 (R1999-2239). Jet Aviation’s principal place of
business is in Palm Beach County. In 2004, the Board approved a First Amendment
to the Lease (R2004-2587), which allowed Jet Aviation to construct an
automobile parking lot to accommodate overflow customer parking based on an
estimated square footage. This Second Amendment amends Exhibit “A” of the Lease
to replace the estimated square footage for the automobile parking lot
identified in the First Amendment with the actual square footage of the
improved area(s). In addition, this Second Amendment provides for the
retroactive reimbursement of rents collected in the amount of $3,165.67, based
on the difference between the estimated square footage and the actual square
footage as required by the First Amendment. This Second Amendment also corrects
an error in rental adjustment provisions related to the calculation of the

Pursuant to the Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations Ch. XII Part 1542, the County is required to provide
security background checks including fingerprint identification for airport
workers at Palm Beach International Airport. Palm Beach County’s Department of
Airports Security Office performs application intake, fingerprinting, and
security badge issuance. Due to increased charges from the required service
provider, the Aviation Security Clearinghouse (ASC), staff proposes to increase
the security fees to $42 per application plus $15 per year maintenance fee, an
increase from $35 and $10, respectively.
Staff also recommends to charge $100 per lost or non-returned badge, an
increase from $75. This revenue pays for the ASC charges plus a portion of the
Security Office staffing. Staff also
reviewed charges at other airports to insure overall reasonableness of the
fees. This Resolution also authorizes

service needs to be relocated and an easement needs to be provided for the new
and existing lines. The easement is
approximately 1,697.52 feet long, varies in width from 10 feet to 15.5 feet,
and contains 19,313 square feet (0.44 acres) and will be located in the
northern portion of the property, running easterly from Pinehurst Drive to
connect to an existing easement. A
portion of the easement will be located in the southern portion of the property
running from the electrical building south to an existing easement near the
south property line. This non-exclusive
easement is being granted at no charge as it provides service to the County’s
water treatment plant. (PREM) District 2 (HJF)

motion to accept: a Special Warranty Deed from Dizengoff–Courtney Park,
LLC, (Dizengoff), conveying a .73 acre lake tract parcel located in the
southwest corner of Lantana Road and Haverhill Road in unincorporated Lake
Worth. SUMMARY: The lake tract parcel was dedicated to the
County on February 15, 2000, per the plat of Winston Trails Parcel 19, in Plat
Book 87, Page 95 (Water Management Tract Lake-1). In 2005, Courtney Park
Limited Partnership included the lake tract in a deed to Marcliff Courtney
Development, LLC. To rectify this error,
the current owner (Dizengoff) wants to deed this lake tract to the County. The County Attorney’s Office has recommended
that the County accept this Special Warranty Deed to clear record title in the
County. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the payment of
$5,000 and the conveyance of the County’s interest in a 1.24 acre surplus
property to the Town of Loxahatchee Groves without charge and with reservation
of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration
pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 197.592(3); and
B) approve a County Deed in favor of the Town of
Loxahatchee Groves.
SUMMARY: The Town of Loxahatchee Groves requested the
conveyance of a County-owned vacant surplus property. The 1.24 acre property was acquired by Tax
Deed in March of 2003 and is located on 22nd Road North, within the
Town’s municipal boundaries with an assessed value of $453. The property is being conveyed pursuant to
Florida Statutes Section 197.592(3), which requires the conveyance of surplus
property acquired by Tax Deed to the municipality in which it is located. The subject property has been declared
surplus and serves no present or future County purpose. The County has not been performing any
maintenance of this property, it is overgrown and adjacent residents have
complained to the Town. The Town requested the County contribute $5,000 to offset
clean up costs. The Town will permit
continued access by the adjacent property owner across this property. Staff believes that this property will be
more appropriately maintained and managed by the Town. This conveyance will relieve the County of
potential liability for occurrences on this property and further requests for
maintenance. The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance
with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. (PREM)

motion to approve:
A) a sole source procurement with
The Gordian Group, Inc. (TGG) for consulting/professional services in
conjunction with the Job Order Contracting (JOC) system; and
B) Amendment No. 6 to Contract
with The Gordian Group, Inc. (R2005-1489) for consulting/professional services
extending the contract until October 5, 2011, and increases the not to exceed
limit from $675,000 to $775,000.
SUMMARY: The County has a need on an on-going basis
for a process/system which reduces the time associated with scoping, bidding
and awarding of contracts for minor construction projects while maintaining
compliance with all local bidding and contracting requirements and practices.
The Job Order Contracting (JOC) system is the only integrated system which
provides for: 1) development of standard
contract documents, 2) identification of tens of thousands construction tasks
with pricing and associated technical specifications, 3) maintenance of
software system for scope and contract preparation, 4) support for bidding, and 5) technical
support. TGG is the only provider of JOC
or similar integrated system. On April
20, 1993, the Board authorized Facilities Development & Operations to
negotiate a sole source contract with TGG for consulting services. New sole source determinations were
subsequently made in 1997, 2001, and 2005 with a subsequent contract extension
in 2009. A new sole source determination is required by the Purchasing Code and
that determination will be implemented by a contract extension in order to take
advantage of a reduced license fee, 23% lower than the market, and only
available via a contract extension.
Amendment No. 6 is an extension to the 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 improvement projects.
Compensation is 1.5% of the dollar value of issued JOC work orders estimated to
be $100,000 over the term of the extension. 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. All other terms of the
original contract remain in effect. The Gordian Group is a South Carolina
company. (FD&O Admin) Countywide (JM)

B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee the authority to grant, condition or deny Society’s request to make exterior alterations
SUMMARY: In 2009, the Board approved the Third Restated Agreement with the Society for the operation of a museum of history (Museum) and the occupancy of a portion of the 1916 Courthouse for a 30 year term that commenced on January 1, 2008. The Society and County desire to maximize public access to the 1916 Courthouse, including the Museum, as a venue for historical education. Society desires that the County allow it to mount banners to the exterior of the 1916 Courthouse to identify the Museum and to announce upcoming and pending historic attractions. This First Amendment to the Third Restated Agreement: (i) provides Society the ability to request the County’s consent for Society to make Exterior Alterations; (ii) updates the Society’s notice information; and (iii) provides Society with the disclosure of the Office of the Inspector General. Society shall pay all costs and expenses regarding any Exterior Alterations, including securing the necessary permits from the City of West Palm Beach.

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with the City of Riviera Beach in the amount of $98,876.39, for the period of October 5, 2010, through June 30, 2011. SUMMARY: On February 27, 2007, the County entered into an Agreement (R2007-0296) with the City for street improvements on West 32nd Street, which expired on August 31, 2008. This Agreement provides funding for the continuation of the project. The City received bids and awarded a construction contract for infrastructure improvements during the term of the Agreement. The County reimbursed the City $317,238.61 out of the $416,115 funded through the Agreement. The project was not fully completed because the City identified deficiencies in the contractor’s work. Since correction of these deficiencies could not be accomplished in an amicable manner, the City terminated the construction contract and proceeded to seek remedies through the surety and other legal avenues. The original Agreement expired while these processes took their course. The City has now made the necessary arrangements to complete the project, and accordingly wishes to re-establish an Agreement with the County to fund the remaining $98,876.39 allocated to this project. As such, the remaining $98,876.39, funded through the expired Agreement is being recommitted to the project through this Agreement. These are Federal Community Development Block Grant funds that require no local match. District 7 (TKF)

motion to adopt: a Resolution
authorizing the County Administrator, or his designee to sign Request for
Release of Funds and Certification forms (HUD-7015.15) as the duly designated
Certifying Officer to comply with environmental grant conditions for projects
proposed to be funded under federal programs, including, but not limited to the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME),
and Neighborhood Stabilization (NSP) Programs.
SUMMARY: CDBG, HOME and NSP funded projects must
comply with 24 CFR Part 58, which establishes regulations concerning the
Environmental Review (ER) procedures for these programs. Under these regulations, the County is
required to: A) aggregate geographically or functionally, all activities into
projects; B) determine which project is in need of an
environmental assessment and, where applicable, issue an environmental
clearance finding; C) publish the finding to receive public input; and
D) execute and submit Form HUD-7015.15 to the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). This form
documents and certifies to HUD that all steps have been taken with respect to
HUD's environmental procedures and that the County assumes the responsibilities
that would otherwise apply to HUD under the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), in addition to whatever other responsibilities the County may have to
comply with (local, state and federal environmental laws and authorities). HUD
responds to this request with a form authorizing the use of grant funds. Projects and activities undergoing the ER
process have already been approved for funding by the Board of County
Commissioners; therefore, to expedite the process and expend federal funds in a
timely manner, this Resolution is presented.
CDBG Program funds are Federal funds that require no local match.
HOME Program funds will require a local match that will be provided by program
income from the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program. Countywide (TKF)

Owner’s Association, Inc. (POA). SUMMARY: On March 23, 2010, the Board of County
Commissioners approved the Tierra Del Rey Special Assessment Project
(R2010-0429). In order for the County to construct, install, and maintain
potable water pipelines and appurtenant facilities within the Tierra Del Rey
development, the POA is required to provide various easements to the County. Based on the complicated nature of the
dedicated roads and easements within Tierra Del Rey, an Indemnity Agreement has
been executed by the POA and, upon execution by the Board, will be recorded in
the public records. The Agreement holds
the County harmless against any and all liabilities and expenses imposed upon
or asserted against the County related to the operation and maintenance of
installed facilities within the utility easements granted by the POA and
related to any service interruptions or service termination due to facilities
removal and/or relocation from those utility easements. (WUD Project No. 09-061) District 5 (MJ)

with Palm Beach County Fleet Management’s recommended guidelines for vehicle
replacement, Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department has received a new
Sewer Vacuum Truck which was ordered as a replacement for Asset No.
10113764. The Department has no further
use for the replaced vehicle which was originally purchased in 1997, has been

motion to approve:
A) a Contract with the Department of Health (DOH) in the amount of $2,097,459 for Environmental Health and Engineering programs provided by the Palm Beach County Health Department (CHD) for the period October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011; and
B) an Addendum to the Contract to clarify:
1) Paragraph 6.a. – as State employees/personnel, CHD employees are not “officers, agents, or employees of the County”;
2) Paragraph 7.c. – The County shall assure that insurance coverage for vehicles is available through either a self-insurance program or insurance purchased by the County except for insurance referenced in paragraph 7.e.;
3) Paragraph 7.d. – The County shall be named as additional insured on any agreement in which the CHD contracts or subcontracts any work to be performed on the premises to a third party; and

Summary: This Contract sets forth the funding
responsibilities of the DOH and the County for the operation of the Palm Beach
County Health Department. The State and
County share in the funding of the $8,304,735 environmental health budget. The State’s share is $3,537,878 (42.6%),
primarily from State general revenue and fees.
Funding from the County’s FY 2011 budget is $2,097,459 (25.3%) that
includes Childcare Enforcement & Control Funding of $125,890. The remaining local share (32.1%) is
comprised of County Authorized Fees of $1,166,026 (14.0%), Federal Funds of

SUMMARY: The above property is being acquired in
accordance with Palm Beach International Airport’s approved Part 150 Noise
Compatibility Study, which recommended the acquisition of property. An offer to purchase was presented to the
Roberts on August 9, 2010 in the amount of $85,000 and accompanying the offer
was a notice of their Price Differential Payment eligibility of up to $31,900
for total package of $116,900. This settlement of $110,000 is $6,900 less than
the total package of $116,900. It should
also be noted that in addition to the $85,000 fair market value and the Price
Differential of $31,900, the Roberts family would have also been eligible to claim
incidental expenses on their replacement dwelling and moving costs, however,
they are not planning on purchasing a replacement property as they own another
property that they are planning to relocate to.
This agreement would be considered an Administrative Settlement under

allocated from District 6 monies. The Interlocal
Agreement for that project, as amended, terminated on April 15, 2010. At this time, the District 6 Commissioner has

A) Fourth
annual option to renew the Amended and Restated Administrative Services Only
Agreement (R2006-2287; dated October 17, 2006), with Connecticut General Life
Insurance Company (CIGNA) for claims administration services for the County’s
self-funded triple option (HMO, POS, PPO) health insurance plan for the period
January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011;
B) CIGNA’s proposed administrative fees and
specific stop loss premiums and risk retention level for plan year 2011; and
C) changes to certain co-payments and rate
contributions paid by employees and their eligible dependents for plan year
2011
SUMMARY: Staff recommends Board approval for the fourth annual option to renew the
Administrative Services Only Agreement with CIGNA for the period January 1, 2011,
through December 31, 2011. For plan year 2011, projected Board premiums
for the County’s self-funded health plans reflect an increase in employee cost
sharing for both plan co-payments and monthly premiums. The recommended
employee cost sharing increases, estimated to be $7,000,000 for the 2011 plan
year, are necessary to offset the increasing cost of the health plans and to
meet the Board’s budgetary objectives. The total plan cost projected for
2011 is $61,530,514, a $1,678,173 increase over the projected cost for the
expiring plan year. The increase in employee cost sharing, coupled with a fund
balance accumulation due to less than expected claims experience in prior plan
years, will negate a need to increase the Board’s level of funding for coming year.
Eligible employees of Palm Tran, Inc. and the Supervisor of Elections will
continue to participate in the health insurance plans along with the eligible
employees of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund
the program. Countywide (TKF)
E. OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT &
BUDGET
1. Staff recommends motion to reconsider: approval of and save $70,000 for build-out of the 1st floor of the State Attorney/Public Defender (SA/PD) building authorized on September 14, 2010 and approve build-out of the 3rd and 4th floor spaces only. SUMMARY: At their September 14, 2010 meeting, the Board heard a request from the State Attorney’s Office for build-out of shell spaces located on the 1st, 3rd and 4th floors of the SA/PD building. Total cost of the build-out was estimated to be $833,000. At that time, staff recommendation was to limit the build-out to the 3rd and 4th floors, which would provide more work spaces than proposed new hires, at a cost of $763,000. In addressing the Board, the State Attorney’s representative confirmed that they could “give up” the first floor portion of the project, but reiterated the need for the 3rd and 4th floors. Due to the significant budget constraints the County is experiencing, staff recommends the elimination of the 1st floor portion of the project, saving the additional cost of $70,000, which will remain in the General Fund Contingency.

motion to approve: the sale of one (1) Westgate/Belvedere
Homes Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)-owned property to Housing Trust
Group, LLC (HTG), an affordable housing developer, for $153,700 subject to the
terms of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale between the CRA and HTG. SUMMARY:
On March 14, 2010, the CRA issued an RFP to solicit redevelopment proposals for
a 0.21 acre property pursuant to Section 163.380, F.S. (2008) from interested
parties. The 0.21 acre property will be
combined with adjacent parcels to develop a three-story, 68-unit multi-family
affordable rental housing development called Westgate Commons. HTG has indicated to the CRA that it will
also be seeking Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP 2) funding from the
County in addition to the 4% Federal Housing Tax Credit and Tax-exempt Bonds
through Housing Finance Authority (HFA) of Palm Beach County for the
project. The CRA Board awarded the
contract to HTG on May 17, 2010 subject to BCC approval and the negotiated Agreement
for Purchase or Sale. The September 3,
2010 appraisal report by Jenkins Appraisal Services, Inc. indicates the market
value of the property at $125,000.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 89-6, Board of County Commissioners approval
is required for disposition of any real property owned by the CRA. The CRA purchased the property as part of its
redevelopment effort envisioned for the Westgate Avenue corridor. Funds received from the sale of the
properties will be put back in the CRA’s General Fund for future redevelopment
activities. District 2 (TKF)
G. WATER UTILITIES
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the distribution of information in Palm Beach County Water Utility
(WUD) bills to inform its customers of the new federal Numeric Nutrient
Criteria rule proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
potential rate impact. SUMMARY:
On January 14, 2009, a federal judge ruled that new or revised water
quality standards in the form of numeric nutrient water quality criteria were
necessary to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act in the State of
Florida. The Department of Justice and EPA subsequently entered into a consent
decree that required EPA to adopt numeric nutrient standards by October 15,
2010. In January 2010, the EPA proposed
numeric nutrient criteria that would impose very stringent limitations on
discharges to all water bodies, including drainage lakes and canals. While some
portions of the criteria have been delayed until 2012, the criteria that covers
lakes (the water bodies potentially impacted by reclaimed water systems) are
still scheduled to go into effect October 15, 2010. The cost of compliance to
businesses, farms and utilities in South Florida is staggering and could
possibly shut down the reclaimed water systems that Florida utilities have
invested in at a cost of several billion dollars. Many of WUD’s customers and
homeowners associations have requested more information on the subject. WUD in
conjunction with a consortium of cities, counties, associations (including
Florida Association of Counties) and businesses developed the a bill stuffer
which WUD is requesting to be distributed in the bills beginning October 10,
2010, for one bill cycle. Countywide (MJ)
