9.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Consent to Easement to construct a staging dock extension at Burt Reynolds Park, Jupiter. SUMMARY: The County completed a $2.9 million expansion project for Burt Reynolds Park in the fall of 2007, which included the construction of a staging dock in the Intracoastal Waterway.  The staging dock was originally designed to be 289’ long; however, due to issues surrounding ownership of the submerged lands under the dock, the dock was scaled back to 110’ long.  The submerged lands issues are in the process of being resolved so that the County may extend the dock.  As the extension of the dock is within the right-of-way of the Intracoastal Waterway, USACE requires a Consent to Easement to be executed by the County and the USACE prior to construction. The USACE requires a $300 administrative fee for processing the consent. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

The private ambulance providers are requesting the issuance of a three (3) year extension of their current COPCN from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2014.

25                    5D-1               ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement of Ground Lessor between the County, Wells Fargo Bank, Riviera Trading and Marketing, Inc. and Scribe Enterprises, Inc.  SUMMARY:  The County owns a 1.74 acre parcel off Central Boulevard behind the Jupiter West Plaza Shopping Center in Jupiter which it leases to Riviera Trading and Marketing, Inc., and Scribe Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to a Ground Lease dated June 28, 1988 (R88-8643D).  In exchange for the Ground Lease, Riviera and Scribe subleased the County a 1.71 acre parcel located adjacent to the Jupiter West Shopping Center upon which the County built Fire-Rescue Station No. 19 (R92-1037D).  The Ground Lease allows Riviera and Scribe to mortgage their interest in the County's property without the County's consent. Riviera and Scribe are refinancing the mortgage and their lender, Wells Fargo Bank, has requested that the County execute this Agreement of Ground Lessor. The Agreement provides the lender the opportunity to cure any default on the part of Riviera and Scribe under the Ground Lease within thirty (30) days of notice, and provides that the Ground Lease may not be amended without the lender’s consent.  While the County is not required to enter into this Agreement, Wells Fargo will not make the loan without it, and it is in the County’s interest to facilitate the refinancing of the loan.  If the refinancing does not occur, Riviera and Scribe’s current loan may go into default, which could have potential ramifications for the County’s sublease of the Fire Station property. The other parties will execute this Agreement of Ground Lessor after Board approval.  This Agreement is being added on to facilitate the closing of the loan which is scheduled to close on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, with funding subject to this Agreement being approved on February 1, 2011.
