1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Contract with American Engineering & Development Corporation (American), the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder in the amount of $277,737.35 for the construction of Caroline Avenue Crossing Over Lake Worth Drainage District L-3 Canal (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this Contract will allow Palm Beach County to issue a Notice to Proceed to American, a Palm Beach County company, to begin construction of the Project. The Palm Beach County Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the Project is 15% overall. The SBE participation proposed for the Project by American is 17.07%. District 2 (MRE)

(Contractor), the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder, in the amount of $353,487.50, for Overhead School Zone Flashers (Project), Project No. 2011055. SUMMARY: Approval of this Contract will allow for upgrading the flashers in several school zones. The Florida Department of Transportation has funded this Project with LAP Agreement No. FPN 423189-1-38/58-01. The Contractor is a Palm Beach County business. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the Project is 15%. The SBE participation committed for the Project by the Contractor is 5% overall. As these are Federal funds, we cannot use SBE goals in determining Contract award. Districts 2, 3, 5 & 7 (MRE)
3. Staff recommends

to issue Work Orders to construct irrigation and landscape improvements on
State Road 7 in the amounts not-to-exceed $400,000 from the Broward County Line

(Improvements) utilizing Palm Beach County’s (County) Annual Roadway
Landscaping Contract R2011-0019, as amended by R2011-1294 and R2011-1987 with
Arazoza Brothers Corporation. SUMMARY: This authorization will enable
the County Administrator, or his designee, to issue Work Orders for the
contractual services necessary to construct the Improvements. The Florida
Department of Transportation has agreed to provide the County with up to
$400,000 (for Broward County Line to Palmetto Park Road) and $248,000 (for
Palmetto Park Road to Glades Road) in 100% grant funding for the construction

4. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a Subordination of Utility Interests and Agreement for Reimbursement for Additional Facility Relocations (Subordination Agreement) with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) on a parcel of land that is for dedicated right-of-way on Wallis Road just east of North Cleary Road; and
B) accept a Subordination of Property Interests for drainage easements (Drainage Subordination) from Tallman, L.L.C. (Tallman) on a parcel of land that is for dedicated right-of-way on Wallis Road just east of North Cleary Road; and
C) accept a Warranty Deed from Southern Waste Systems, Ltd. (Southern) for right-of-way on Wallis Road and North Cleary Road.
SUMMARY: Approval and acceptance of these actions will allow a Subordination Agreement which releases an FPL utility easement interest in a parcel of land just east of North Cleary Road and will allow a Drainage Subordination from Tallman on the same parcel of land dedicated for right-of-way. Acceptance will also allow a Warranty Deed from Southern for a parcel of land that contains ten feet of right-of-way on Wallis Road and 15 feet of right-of-way on North Cleary Road. District 2 (MRE)
5. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a 90-calendar day Contract (Contract) with AKA Services, Inc. (Contractor), the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder, in the amount of $321,705 for the Glades Citizens Villas (Project), Project No. 2007905, located near the City of Pahokee contingent upon approval of the Contract documents by the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO); and
B) a Budget Amendment of $16,060 in the Capital Outlay Fund to recognize utility relocation reimbursements from Florida Power and Light ($14,530) and Cable Television ($1,530), and appropriate it to the Project.
SUMMARY:
Approval of this Contract will allow for the construction of new storm sewers
and drainage structures. After review of
the contingent items, AT&T advised that they would protect, adjust and
support their facilities (bid items 26 & 27) thereby reducing the total
Contract award amount by $5,000, from the original total of $326,705. The Contractor is a Palm Beach County
business and is applying for SBE certification. The construction contract,
except for the utility work, is funded with Federal grant funds; therefore the
Small Business Enterprise Ordinance does not apply to this Project. Approval of this Contract is contingent upon DEO’s
approval of the Contract documents. District

ATTORNEY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Settlement Agreement with Florida Airmotive, Inc., for an amount not to
exceed $275,000; and
B) a Budget Transfer of $275,000 in the Airports Improvement and Development
Fund from Reserves to provide budget to fund the settlement purchase of
buildings and hangars.
SUMMARY: Florida Airmotive is the fixed base operator
of the Palm Beach County Park Airport (“Lantana Airport”) pursuant to a Lease
Agreement (R86-712) (“Lease”) with the County. Florida Airmotive claims
ownership of approximately 28 metal buildings and aircraft hangars located at
the Lantana Airport based upon provisions in the Lease that allow Florida
Airmotive to remove certain types of improvements at the end of the Lease term.
The County filed suit against Florida Airmotive seeking declaratory judgment to
determine whether the County or Florida Airmotive owns the disputed
improvements at the Lantana Airport. The proposed Settlement Agreement provides
for the purchase by the County of any interest that Florida Airmotive may have
in the disputed improvements. Florida Airmotive will also attempt to obtain
signed statements from current subtenants, disclaiming any ownership interest
in the improvements (“Disclaimer of Interest”). The full settlement amount for
all disputed improvements is $275,000. The settlement amount has been pro-rated
on a per square foot basis to establish a price per building/hangar. For those
improvements where a Disclaimer of Interest has not been obtained, the County
will pay a reduced settlement amount of approximately 50% of the pro-rata
purchase price. The disputed improvements range in size from approximately
1,558 to 10,292 square feet, comprising a total of approximately 128,708 square
feet of improved building space. Countywide

legal services for the refunding of Public Improvement Revenue Bonds Series

motion to approve: First Amendment (Amendment) to the WiFi
Advertising Concession Agreement (Agreement) with Cloud 9 Wireless, Inc.
(R2011-1018), providing for the elimination of the minimum monthly guarantee. SUMMARY: This Amendment eliminates the
provision in the Agreement that provided for payment of a minimum monthly
guarantee of $2,500 per month. Cloud 9
Wireless has determined that it is unable to guarantee monthly payments, but is
willing to continue providing advertising sales services on a per campaign
basis through the expiration of the Agreement on July 31, 2012. All other terms and conditions of the
Agreement will remain the same for the remainder of the contract, including the
provision for payment of advertising concession fees on a per campaign
basis. Advertising campaigns have tended
to be short term, making future revenues difficult to predict. The Agreement
allows either party to terminate the Agreement for convenience. If this Amendment is not approved, Cloud 9
Wireless has indicated that it will terminate the Agreement. If approved, it is
anticipated that the concession will continue to generate revenues to the
County of approximately $1,000 to $1,500 per month. The Agreement was approved
as a one-year pilot program. In the
event the Department desires to continue to offer the concession opportunity
after evaluating the results of the pilot program, a competitive solicitation
will be issued. Countywide (AH)

S. FIRE RESCUE
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement for Fire Vehicle Maintenance with the Town of Palm Beach for a period of ten (10) years. SUMMARY: This Agreement provides for the maintenance and emergency repair of the Town of Palm Beach’s Fire-Rescue emergency response apparatus by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Support Services personnel. Labor shall be calculated using the hourly rate listed as the Warranty Rate on the County’s Rate Schedule for Warranty, Vehicle and Staff charges in effect at the time of service. Labor, parts, commercial repair and reimbursable insurance repairs will generate approximately $116,000 in external revenues which are expected to exceed the cost of the additional related operating expenses, estimated at $47,500 for FY 2012.

motion to approve: an Interlocal
Agreement with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), an
independent taxing district, at an estimated first
year net revenue of $21,816, for an initial term of one (1) year, with
automatic (1) year renewals unless notice given by any party. SUMMARY: This
Interlocal Agreement allows the SFWMD to access Palm Beach County (the “County”)
network services on a cost sharing basis similar to the existing Interlocal
Agreements between the County and various municipalities, Children’s Services
Council, and the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. There are two (2) planned connections to the
County’s network. The first will serve as the SFWMDs’ backup Internet access
and the second will provide connectivity to the SFWMD disaster recovery
equipment located in the Network Access Point (NAP) of the Americas data center
located in Miami. In addition to the
revenues the County will receive, it is estimated that this agreement will
reduce SFWMD’s costs by $50K annually.
Florida LambdaRail will provide termination equipment and connection
services at the NAP of the Americas. These monthly charges will be billed to
SFWMD by the County. As this additional service requires an amendment to the
existing FLR-PBC contract, that amendment is being submitted as a separate
Agenda item. The County will not incur
any costs associated with this project other than staff time involved in
planning and managing the project. This
agreement is similar to existing agreements with other municipalities and
educational institutions for network services.

motion to approve:
A) renewal of the County’s Excess Property, Liability and
Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program
for the period April 1, 2012, through March 31, 2013, purchased through the
County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc.,
under Contract No. 10-042R/LJ, for a total cost not-to-exceed $12,318,000; and
B) the County Self-Insured Retention Plan Document, as
Amended and Restated.
SUMMARY: The County’s expiring Excess
Property, Liability and Workers’ Compensation Insurance Program provides excess
layers of property insurance totaling $200 Million inclusive of the County’s
$1,000,000 self-insured retention, excess layers of liability insurance
totaling $5 Million excess of the County’s $500,000 self-insured retention, and
$2,000,000 of excess coverage for workers’ compensation inclusive of a
$1,000,000 self-insured retention. The Program also includes various ancillary
excess insurance policies covering damage to County-owned property resulting
from flood, terrorism, boiler & machinery, and employee dishonesty. The
coverage structure has been analyzed and configured to provide the best
coverage terms at the most competitive prices.
The Self-Insured Retention Plan Document has been amended and restated
to reflect corresponding excess coverages currently in effect. The projected
2012-2013 renewal figures reflect a much harder market in which some
adjustments to existing coverage must be evaluated in order to procure the
highest amount of insurance possible, while keeping costs as close to expiring
premiums as possible. The hardening
market is attributable to worldwide catastrophic losses, and a newer, more
conservative CAT modeling system that has been adopted by the insurance
industry and the State of Florida. The County’s total insurable values have
increased less than 1% this year to approximately $2.39 Billion. The cost of
the program is also impacted by a variety of State-mandated surcharges and
assessments that have increased in 2012. The total not-to-exceed cost of
$12,318,000 represents no increase over the actual expiring premium. Sufficient funds are budgeted in FY 2012 for
this coverage. Countywide (TKF)

be brought up to current ADA standards all at no cost to the County. Thereafter
the Contractor will maintain the benches, surrounding area, and handle waste
pick up. Monthly payment to the County
will be based on the number of advertising benches in service each month. Countywide (DR)

with such information by vendors and certain other dispensers of alcoholic
beverages warning of the prohibition against and the penalties associated with
the sale or provision of alcoholic beverages to minors. Countywide (LB)

C.

SUMMARY: The Legislature adopted F.S. 553.73, mandating a Statewide Florida Building Code (FBC), and allowing local governments to adopt their own Administrative Chapter of the FBC, 2010 Edition, applicable in the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, and those municipalities having an Interlocal Agreement for the provision of County plan review and inspection services. Significant change in this administrative chapter is the ability to place a non-ad valorem assessment on a property for costs associated with abatement of unsafe buildings and other entities. This chapter is based upon recommendations of the Palm Beach County Building Code Advisory Board. Figures 1609 A, B, and C in the FBC are accurate for basic wind design to the County, and provides for local government to establish specific wind speed/wind borne debris lines using physical landmarks, whenever possible. As a result of landscape irrigation regulations adopted in the last code cycle, many cross connections of drinking water and irrigation systems have been abated, and proper water conservation designs have been implemented. Practical application brought forth some few areas where there was a redundancy of proper regulation. Those redundancies are being eliminated. The 2010 FBC will include flood resistant provisions applicable in flood hazard areas, a change from previous editions. The code refers to local floodplain management ordinances, that are required to be incorporated into the FBC 2010 Edition, in accordance with new legislation in 553.73, F.S. Unincorporated (AH)

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) direct staff, following contractual presuit notice and dispute resolution
requirements, to initiate litigation seeking a Declaratory Judgment
Action and supplemental relief, including but not limited to the appointment of
an independent receiver, as appropriate to resolve the County’s conflict over
the Interlocal Agreement (R2009-1034) establishing the Glades Utility Authority
(GUA);
B) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, declaring its intent to initiate presuit notice and dispute resolution
procedures pursuant to Section 7.13 of the Interlocal Agreement, and to
initiate intergovernmental conflict resolution procedures with the GUA, the
City of South Bay, the City of Belle Glade, and the City of Pahokee, pursuant
to Chapter 164, Florida Statutes (2012), in the event it is determined to be
applicable to the present conflict; and declaring that an immediate
danger to the health, safety, and welfare of the public requires immediate
action, and that significant legal rights will be compromised if a court
proceeding does not take place before complying with the provisions of the
Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act; and
C) direct staff to initiate intergovernmental conflict resolution procedures during
the pendency of litigation.
Summary: To
date, the GUA has not adopted a surcharge to address revenue shortfalls and
therefore does not have a FY 2011-2012 budget.
The GUA remains in a perilous fiscal condition. On January 24, 2012, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved all seven (7) negotiated absorption conditions
agreed to by the Cities of Belle Glade and Pahokee, and established a deadline
of February 15, 2012, for the City of South Bay to pass a Resolution agreeing
to the absorption conditions with no additional requirements. The City of South Bay failed to pass a
Resolution by the February 15, 2012, date.
The BCC also further directed Staff to have no further negotiations with
the Tri-Cities concerning absorption and to bring options to protect the Public
interest with respect to the GUA, to the March 20, 2012, BCC meeting.
Staff has reviewed all legal options with the County Attorney’s Office
and believes seeking a Declaratory Judgment Action is in the best interest of
the Public due to the failure of the City of South Bay to pass the required
Resolution which would have avoided this litigation. District 6 (ATP)

1. Staff requests
Board direction on:
A) renewal of Airport Ground Transportation
Concession Agreement (Amendment) with Southeastern Florida Transportation
Group, LLC (SEFTG) (R2005-1774), for three (3) additional years through
September 30, 2015; or
B) issuance of a competitive solicitation for a
ground transportation concession agreement for the provision of on-demand
ground transportation services, including taxicabs, executive sedans,
limousines and shared ride services, at the Palm Beach International Airport
(PBIA).
SUMMARY: The current agreement for
on-demand airport ground transportation services expires on September 30,
2012. The current agreement provides for
an initial term of seven (7) years with one (1) – three (3) year option to
renew at the County’s sole option. The Department is requesting the Board to
approve: (i) the renewal of the current agreement; or (ii) the issuance of a
competitive solicitation by the Department for a new agreement for on-demand
ground transportation services. The
current agreement, or any new agreement, will require the concessionaire to
provide a sufficient number of taxicabs, executive sedans, sedans, limousines
and share ride services to meet the requirements of all persons requesting such
services, during daily peak and non-peak periods and periods of heavy seasonal
and holiday passenger traffic. If approved, the Amendment would renew the
current agreement through September 30, 2015.
The current agreement requires SEFTG to pay concession fees equal to the
greater of a per capita charge of $0.0885 per deplaned passenger or a minimum
annual guarantee of $266,959; provides for adjustment of the per capita charge
based on increases to SEFTG’s fares and rates; and provides for adjustment of
the minimum annual guarantee based upon increases to the number of deplaned
passengers. If the Board elects to approve the issuance of competitive
solicitation in lieu of extending the current agreement, the solicitation will
establish, as a minimum requirement, payment of concession fees at least equal
to the amounts paid under the current agreement. The Amendment updates
non-discrimination provisions to ensure compliance with recent changes to 49
CFR Part 23, which regulates airport disadvantage business enterprise (ACDBE)
programs. The current agreement has an annual 17% ACDBE participation goal.
SEFTG reported 20.67% ACDBE participation for Fiscal Year 2011. If the Board approves issuance of a
competitive solicitation, the solicitation will include an ACDBE goal
established in accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 23. Regardless of whether the Board approves
renewal of the current agreement or issuance of a competitive solicitation,
non-concessionaire ground transportation providers will continue to be
permitted to operate at PBIA on a pre-arranged basis subject to compliance with
applicable Airport Rules and Regulations. Countywide (AH)

and a Health Department staffed medical facility will also be located on site.
A projected expenditure and revenue budget is included with this item. Staff is recommending a budget of $1,312,532
for FY 2012 which includes start up costs and partial year funding for Lewis
Center operations and required off-campus supportive housing. The estimated
total annual operating cost for FY 2013 is approximately $4.8 Million and will
be addressed in the FY 2013 budget process.
A portion of the funds required for FY 2012 is allocated in the current
budget and the remainder of the required funding is being requested from
general fund reserves. The phasing plan
anticipates opening all on-site services and one-third of the available beds on
July 2, 2012, an additional one-third on October 1, 2012, and the final
one-third open by January 2, 2013. (Human Services) Countywide (TKF)
D. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution authorizing the Department of Economic
Sustainability (DES) to submit a Section 108 Loan Fund Application for
$7,240,130 to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD); authorizing the acceptance of awarded funds in order to assist established
businesses in Palm Beach County; and, authorizing the County Administrator, or
his designee, to execute the Loan Application documents. SUMMARY: This Application will increase
the allocation for the County’s Section 108 Loan Program (Program) by $7,240,130. The Program provides gap financing to
businesses seeking to locate or expand in the County in order to create new
jobs and help revitalize communities.
The Program gives priority to businesses in distressed areas of
unincorporated Palm Beach County and then to businesses in distressed areas
within municipalities in the County. To date, approximately $14 Million in
loans have been made, generating 828 jobs and a five-year Economic
Sustainability Impact of $602 Million.
An additional $5.5 Million in loans is currently being processed and is
projected to generate 375 jobs and a five-year Economic Sustainability Impact
of $119 Million. The funding being
applied for is projected to create 214 jobs and have a five-year Economic
Sustainability Impact of $206 Million. The
Section 108 Loan funds are Federal grant funds which require no local match and
the staff costs to implement the program are funded from are Ad Valorem
sources. (DES Contract Development) Countywide (DW)

Board direction regarding: a request by the Supervisor of Election (SOE) to immediately exercise
the renewal option on a SubLease with Huttig Building Products (R2009-1211) for
warehouse space utilized by the SOE for support operations and election day
vote tabulation. SUMMARY: On July 21, 2009,
the Board entered into a SubLease with Huttig for approximately 76,000 sf of
warehouse space for the SOE for a term of five (5) years with a renewal option
ending June 21, 2016. At the same time,
the Board entered into a Consent to SubLease with RREEF America REIT II Corp
(RREEF or Landlord R2009-1212). The
Broker for the transaction was Robert Goldstein, President Hospitality
Consultants Realty Services (HCRS) and the broker fees are owed by Huttig,
pursuant to an agreement to which the County is not a party. For the last several months, HCRS has been
requesting that the County exercise the renewal option so that HCRS can be paid
its brokerage fee. In addition, HCRS and SOE believe that by exercising the renewal
option early, there will be financial benefits to the County, will relieve the
County from liability, and better protect the SOE from the potential
interruption in the use of the space in the event of Huttig’s bankruptcy. It is
Staff’s position that there are no benefits to the County or SOE in exercising
the option early. On January 24, 2012,
the Board directed Staff to open negotiations with RREEF regarding options
beyond 2016; however, RREEF is unwilling to discuss an extension at this early
date. Staff believes that RREEF’s refusal to open negotiations are for the same
reasons that Staff desires to postpone negotiations - preservation of
negotiating position based on conditions
and needs just prior to the time that
the option has to be exercised. For this reason, Staff is recommending that the
plans for accommodating the SOE’s needs beyond June 2016 occur in the summer of
2013, and based on the conclusion of those discussions, consider exercising the
option at that time. (PREM) Countywide (HJF)

recommends motion to approve:
A) a Second Amendment to Sub-Lease Agreement
(R2011-1595, R2001-0656) with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County,
Inc. (BGCPBC) for the Bill Bailey Community Center in Belle Glade to: (i)
assign responsibility for payment of
the water, wastewater and electricity to the County for the period of April 1,
2012, through September 30, 2012 (“County Obligations”), and (ii) obligate
BGCPBC to reimburse the County for any expenditures on County Obligations in
excess of $21,000; and
B) a First Amendment to Agreement (R2001-0657)
with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) for the operation of a
Police Athletic League (PAL) Program to
provide for the payment of a use fee in the amount of $21,000 for the period
of April 1, 2012, through September 30,
2012.
SUMMARY: On
October 18, 2011, the Board approved a First Amendment to Sub-Lease Agreement
with BGCPBC that provided for a lease extension to the Sub-Lease through
October 30, 2015, for BGCPBC’s operation of various community based youth
programs from the County’s Bill Bailey Community Center Gymnasium located
within the City of Belle Glade. PBSO
also uses the premises for the operation of the PAL programs. On December 16, 2011, BGCPBC notified the
County of funding shortfalls which jeopardize the continuation of programs from
this particular facility. Staff believes
it is important that the services continue to be provided from this facility
not only for the youth, but also for community benefits as the only indoor
recreational facility in this area and one of just a couple public assembly
buildings in the Western Communities which can be used for post disaster
recovery needs. In order to address the
funding shortfall through the end of this budget year, PBSO/PAL will pay the
County a $21,000 use fee from non ad valorem sources. Between now and September
30, 2012, BGCPBC as well as the County and PBSO Staff will attempt to identify
alternate sources of funding for the utility costs (approximately $80,000
annually) which will likely include the requests of the BGCPBC for financial
assistance through other County programs and/or Staff identifying these costs
as an unfunded existing program requirement for the Board to consider as part
of the budget process. After September
30, 2012, the funding obligations of both the County and PBSO/PAL will expire and
BGCPBC will once again be obligated to pay for the utilities, which may force a
decision on whether BGCPBC can continue its programming. All other terms of both the Sub-Lease and the
PBSO/PAL Agreement remain in effect and unchanged. (FDO Admin) District 6 (HJF)

recommends motion to authorize:
A) Staff to negotiate an option agreement with
NewKita Group, Inc., for the donation of an 11.8 acre parcel of land adjacent
to the Palm Glades Apartment Complex in unincorporated Belle Glade for the
development of a multi-use recreational and community center complex; and
B) Staff to obtain an appraisal of the County
property at the County’s expense, estimated not to exceed $5,000.
SUMMARY: The
County owns an 11.8 acre parcel of vacant property adjacent to Palm Glades
Apartment Complex in unincorporated Belle Glade. The County has no identified use for the
property, and it is unlikely that the property could be sold in the foreseeable
future for anywhere close to its appraised value of $373,000. NewKita Group is a not-for-profit
organization with a mission to enhance personal enrichment and community unity
through recreational activities, sports, health, fitness, entertainment and
education. NewKita has submitted a proposal to develop a multi-use complex
which would consist of a two-part 50,000 square foot building which will house
3,400 to 4,000 theatre style seats, two (2) full size multi-purpose courts to
accommodate tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer, dance, skating, arena
football as well as a hospitality area, fitness center, conference rooms, youth
activity center, and two (2) full service locker rooms. NewKita’s proposal is
extremely aggressive but due to the lack of indoor recreational and public
assembly facilities in the Western Communities, the budget limitations which
prevent the County or City from providing such facilities at any time in the
future combined with low probability of a sale of the property for anywhere
near its assessed value; Staff believes that it is in the community’s best
interest to allow NewKita the opportunity to reach its goal. The option
agreement envisioned would commit the County to a donation of the property in
the event that NewKita met specific timing and fundraising milestones. Because
the assessed value of the property exceeds $25,000, an appraisal is
required. NewKita has requested that
Staff seek Board approval for the funding required for the appraisal. Funding
is available in the Public Building Improvement Fund Account identified for
appraisals and due diligence on otherwise unfunded projects. Based on the
outcome of the appraisal, it is possible that the Option Agreement will need to
be reviewed by the Property Review Committee in advance of it being presented
to the Board for consideration. (FDO Admin) District 6 (HJF)

37 5G-1 ADD-ON:
Staff requests Board direction: regarding a proposed settlement
agreement and ordinance amendments to the Inspector General Ordinance. Should
the Board direct staff to accept the settlement and ordinance amendments, the
Board should also appoint two (2) individuals to serve on the Ordinance
Drafting Committee to expedite the ordinance amendment process. SUMMARY: Proposed amendments to the
ordinance would provide for a contract fee to defray in part the expenses of
the Inspector General (IG) office. As a
regulatory fee, the contract fees collected can only be used to pay for IG
inspection, audit and other oversight operations tied to contract activities of
the County and cities. The cities have
refused to pay any amount to fund the IG Office beyond the contract fees they
would collect, leaving the County to fund the balance of IG operations. Dade County employs the contract fee as a
method of partially offsetting IG operation costs. The contract fee was originally employed by
the County Commission to apply to County government operations only, but was
discontinued several months after implementation due to administrative costs.
The proposed settlement agreement would end all litigation between the cities,
the Clerk and Comptroller, and the County.
As part of the settlement, the cities have tentatively offered to
provide some amount of funding to offset the operational costs of the IG office
pending full implementation of the contract fee system. As of this writing,
however, no concrete proposal to provide such funding has been offered. Countywide (LB) (County Attorney)
