3. Staff recommends

for Consulting/Professional Services with the Palm Beach County Black
Business Investment Corporation (BBIC) in the amount of $54,000 from

4. Staff
recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution by
the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida supporting the
full funding of the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Block Grants by President Obama and Congress in FY 2012. SUMMARY:
Funded in 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants are empowering thousands of
cities and counties to create new clean energy jobs through investments in
building efficiency, community scale renewable energy, and other projects that
save energy. The grant program will end in 2011 without action by the Obama
Administration and Congress. Palm Beach County staff fully supports the Energy
Block Grants Work campaign and will work to demonstrate to the White House,
U.S. Department of Energy and Congress that we are effectively using our Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) to decrease energy use, curb
greenhouse gas emissions, and create jobs.
The retrofits funded by the EECBG program are expected to create and
retain a total of 143 jobs, achieving energy savings of 20%. No County matching funds are required to
complete this project. Countywide (DW)

motion to approve:
A) a waiver of prohibited relationship pursuant to Palm
Beach County Code of Ethics, Article XIII, the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics
for Kelly Smallridge of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County,
Inc., a member of the Overall Economic Development Program Committee;

SUMMARY: The Board

Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. to provide business recruitment assistance,
business retention activities and business expansion services in Palm Beach
County (PBC). PBC and the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc.
entered into a public-private partnership to promote the County, attract new
businesses and assist in creating new industries in the County. A prohibited
relationship waiver is being recommended for Kelly Smallridge, President for
the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. who serves on the Overall Economic Development Program
Committee. The individual has disclosed this relationship and is
requesting a waiver pursuant to Section 2-443(d) of the Code of Ethics. The
waiver is being recommended based on a staff determination that the execution
of this contract will not create a conflict of interest with the continued
service of the individual on the advisory board. The Agreement period is from October 1, 2006,
through September 30, 2011 and it is in the fifth year of the term. Countywide

6. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with the Lester Family
Investment L.P., Richard Thall, Robert Thall, Peter L. Briger, Paul H. Briger

SUMMARY: On November 6, 2007, the Board of County
Commissioners approved Agreement (R2007-1888) to jointly fund professional
services related to a joint application for a Development of Regional Impact,
Future Land Use Amendment, Concurrency Approval, Planned Community Development

including 70 acres for Scripps (1.6 Million SF) and 100 acres for 2.4 Million
SF of Bioscience use, in the amount of $716,662. Amendment No. 1 provides for an additional
$750,868 in additional services. In accordance with the Agreement, $510,590
(68%) will be paid for by the Lesters and $240,278 will be paid for by the
County. The additional costs are partially attributable to petitions being
filed challenging the State’s intent to find the City of Palm Beach Gardens
Comprehensive Plan Amendment in compliance and the issuance of the South
Florida Water Management Environmental Resource Permit. This Amendment also incorporates the
Inspector General Language pursuant to Ordinance No. 2009-049. Funds for the
Amendment will come from the County’s 2007 $6.5 Million Bond Issuance for
Scripps on Briger. Countywide (RPB)

7. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Budget Transfer of

Services (ISS) Department to implement a transfer of information technology support

represents the costs of salaries and fringe benefits with a retroactive
effective date of October 1, 2010. Under this reorganization, ISS will assume

purposes of developing a Homeless Resource Center. The units comprise the 1000 Forty-Fifth
Condominium and the County owns all of the units within the Condominium. The
1000 Forty-Fifth Condominium Association, Inc. (Association) was established to
govern and operate the condominium property on behalf of the unit owners. The
County as owner of all of the units, no longer has a need to keep the
Association active. The Plan of Termination establishes the County as the
termination trustee; terminates the Condominium and the Association; transfers
the Association’s property and assets to the County; and allows the County to
conclude the affairs of the Association. The Plan of Termination will be
recorded with the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts. The Association is
expected to have approximately $6,100 in surplus funds remaining following
dissolution of the Association. All surplus funds will be transferred to the
County once the Association’s expenses have been satisfied. (PREM) District

The final renewal of the Technical Currency Agreement resulted in a negotiated fee of $399,703 for FY 2011 which represents a reduction of $284,525, or 42%, from the FY 2010 fee amount of $684,228. After FY 2011, only the portion of the Technical Currency Agreement associated with the Jury Management System ($4,885) will continue and the remainder of the contract coverage will not be renewed as the ACS Banner Courts System will be replaced by the Clerk’s new Case Management System.

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution
providing approval authority to the County Administrator and Deputy County
Administrator for advisory board member travel. Summary: Periodically, advisory board members are
required to attend various training, conferences and/ or meetings. This
requirement is typically associated with federal and state grant programs such
as Head Start and Community Action housed in the Community Services Department.
Current County policy requires approval of the Board of County Commissioners
for this type of travel. The extensive lead time to obtain Board of County
Commissioners approval makes it difficult to take advantage of low cost
non-refundable air fares. It requires additional time and expense in the processing
of a board item, and makes adjustments to travel plans difficult and
cumbersome. Staff recommends assignment
of authority for pre-authorized advisory board member travel to the County
Administrator and Deputy County Administrator to ensure that the travel
arrangements can be completed in a timely and cost efficient manner. Countywide (TKF)
B. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution
authorizing the County Administrator or his designee signatory authority on individual
amendments to Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach/Treasure Coast, Inc. (AAA) grant
agreements/contracts, for not more than 10 percent of the grant award/agreement
or $150,000, whichever is greater, for the period November 16, 2010, through
November 15, 2013. Summary:
The Division of Senior Services receives Federal and State grant funds annually
through agreements or contracts with the AAA.
These contracts are adjusted periodically to align
budgetary priorities and to adjust grant amounts when unused federal funds
become available for distribution. Delegating signatory authority to the
County Administrator or his designee on agreement/contract amendments within
the defined threshold would facilitate the spending of funds in a timely manner
in compliance with the grant mandates.
The authority would allow for reallocation of funding for not more than 10
percent of the contracted amount or $150,000, whichever is greater, based on
the recommendations of Division of Senior Services staff. Agreements/Contract
amendments signed by the County Administrator or his designee will be brought

The Board directed Staff to identify $2.4M in funding which could be made available for the project. As currently proposed, the project includes the Town acquiring approximately .8 acres of land at the N.E. corner of Silver Beach Road/Lakeshore Drive and U.S.-1. This property will be used by the Town to expand the Town’s existing boat trailer parking lot to provide an additional 30 boat trailer and 16 standard vehicle parking spaces. Future phases of the project will include closing Lake Shore Drive and constructing a pedestrian promenade between the Marina and the properties along the west side of the existing Lake Shore Drive, as well as private sector development of a restaurant. The Town will be making a presentation on the full scope of the project.

Director of Engineering Services Division and Director of Traffic Division to
execute construction agreements with the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT). (Engineering) (Further staff review)
47 3AA-1 REVISED TITLE:
Staff recommends motion to approve:
A)
Interlocal
Agreement with the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) for
$510,000 funding a portion of the cost of operating Route 94 for three (3)
years; and
B) Budget
Amendment of $510,000 in the Palm Tran Grant Fund to reconcile the Fiscal
Year 2011 budget to account for this award recognize the award and
transfer $127,500 (operating cost for one year) to the Palm Tran Operations
Fund; and
C) Budget Amendment of $127,500 in the Palm Tran
Operations Fund to recognize the transfer from the Palm Tran Grant Fund and
appropriate it to Route 94. (Palm Tran)
55 5E-1 DELETED: Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with Rafael Montalvo, James
Murley and Jean Scott for Facilitation Services related to Mining. Funding for
this project is not to exceed $36,000. The
effective date of this Agreement is upon approval by the Board of County
Commissioners with completion estimated to be August, 2011. (PZB) (Further
staff review)
56 5F-1 ADDED SUMMARY: This Ordinance has undergone extensive
review by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Council, EMS Providers, and
others agencies. There are nine (9) principal changes in this Ordinance. Should these changes be adopted, Section 9,
Term and Assignability of Certificates will allow the Board the ability to
extend the COPCNs of our current private ambulance providers (Medics, AMR) for
up to four (4) years. Staff is
recommending a three (3) year extension commencing on January 1, 2012 because
the current two (2) ambulance providers have voluntarily agreed to forfeit
their last year of their COPCN (which would have expired December 31, 2011) in
order to permit Palm Beach County Fire Rescue to commence providing ALS/BLS
services countywide starting in January 2011. Had the ambulance companies not
forfeited their last year of eligibility, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue would
have had to wait until January 1, 2012 to commence ALS/BLS county-wide. This
three (3) year extension will negate the ability of other private EMS providers
to submit an application to perform secondary provider ALS with BLS Inter
facility transfer services until the three (3) year extension expires on
December 31, 2015. Please refer to the executive summary for an explanation of
the other eight (8) EMS Ordinance proposed changes. Countywide (DW) (Public Safety)
56 5G-1 ADD-ON:
Staff recommends motion to:
A) approve the Federal FY 2011 Certifications and
Assurances to be used in connection with all Federal assistance programs the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) administers during Federal Fiscal Year
2011; and
B) authorize Palm Tran’s Executive Director and Assistant
Executive Director, through the County Administrator, to electronically execute
and file the required certifications and assurances, on behalf of the Board of
County Commissioners, and to transmit the Board’s approval.
SUMMARY: Palm Tran needs to execute and file the
required annual certifications and assurances on behalf of the Board of County
Commissioners before FTA may award a Federal grant or cooperative agreement. The
applicant must provide to FTA all certifications and assurances pertaining to
itself or its project as required by Federal laws and regulations. Selecting and submitting certifications and
assurances to FTA, through FTA's Transportation Electronic Award and Management
(TEAM) system signifies the county’s intent to comply with the requirements of
those certifications and assurances to the extent they apply to a program for
which the county submits an application for assistance in Federal Fiscal Year
2011. FTA’s Certifications and
Assurances are generally pre-award requirements, i.e., those requirements of Federal law and regulations the
Applicant must fulfill before FTA is legally authorized to award Federal
financial assistance to an Applicant. FTA requires a current (Federal Fiscal
Year 2011) attorney's affirmation of the Applicant's legal authority to certify
compliance with the funding obligations in this document; the attorney's
signature from a previous year is not acceptable. Countywide (DR) (Palm Tran)
64 9G ADD-ON: Request approval to present
off-site, a Proclamation declaring December 1, 2010 as “World AIDS Day” in Palm
