caused by weather and holidays. Per PPM

F. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Department of the Army Permit No. SAJ-1991-00402 (IP-EGR) for the Wetland Wildlife Hazard Mitigation Project at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport. SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Department of Airports (DOA) is currently planning mitigation of wildlife attractants at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (“airport”). Several wetlands at the airport are located in close proximity to the runway/taxiway environment, prompting the need to remove or relocate them in order to minimize the impact to aircraft operations. As a result, the DOA has submitted a permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) for the Wetland Wildlife Hazard Mitigation Project. The Corps has completed the review and evaluation of the Department of the Army Permit Application Number SAJ-1991-00402 and has requested the DOA review the terms and conditions prior to final signature by the Department of the Army. As a condition of approval of the permit the DOA shall provide verification to the Corps that 36.71 federal wetland mitigation credits have been debited from the Pine Glade West Mitigation Area. Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management has agreed to provide those mitigation credits. Countywide (AH)

516 calendar days. On September 13,

8 in the amount of $103,827 will provide funding to convert PBIA’s East Commercial Loop to a ‘pre-paid’ card system with
‘declining balance’ methodology, with
no increase in the contract time. CTR

H. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT
& OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
Contract with Carrick Contracting Corporation in the amount of $446,000 for the
removal and replacement of two (2) of the four (4) existing Cooling Towers at
the Convention Center. SUMMARY:
This contract will remove Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning (HVAC)
cooling towers 1 and 2 and replace with new upgraded towers, isolation valves,
flow meters and all associated plumbing and electrical. These towers were installed in 1999 and serve
portions of the exhibition floor and meeting room and have reached their useful
life span due to deterioration caused by salt and weather corrosion. The replacement towers are upgraded to more
corrosion resistant materials that will
provide for longer life span, as well as reducing energy, maintenance and
operating costs. Existing towers 3 &
4 also need replacement and will be done as a separate project later this
year. The Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) goal is 15%. The SBE participation in this contract is
77%. The total construction duration is
70 calendar days. Carrick Contracting
Corporation is a Palm Beach County company.
Funding for this project is entirely from construction bond proceeds
specifically identified for renewal/replacement
projects. The annual debt service on the
bond is paid for from bed tax proceeds. (Capital Improvements Division) District 7

motion to approve: an
Interlocal Agreement with the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) allowing for interoperable
communications through the countywide common groups of the County’s Public
Safety Radio System. SUMMARY: This Interlocal Agreement provides the
conditions under which ATF can program into its radios and utilize the
countywide common talk groups for certain types of inter-agency communications. The County’s system will not be utilized for
routine operational communications by ATF.
The terms of the agreement are standard and have been offered to all
municipalities and local branches of state and federal agencies with 800 MHz
trunked radio capabilities. There are no charges associated with this Agreement. ATF is required to pay all costs associated
with subscriber units and to comply with the established operating procedures
for the County’s Public Safety Radio System.
The agreement provides for an initial term of five (5) years with three
(3) renewal options, each for a period of five (5) years. This Interlocal Agreement may be terminated
by either party, with or without cause, upon ten (10) days prior notice to the
other party. (ESS) Countywide (JM)
3. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: notice of exercise of the third extension option under the Lease Agreement with Theodore
W. Winsberg and Gertrude K. Winsberg (R99-842D) for the Winsbergs’ continued
agricultural use of approximately 60 acres located on Hagen Ranch Road in
Boynton Beach. SUMMARY: In 1996, the County purchased 175 acres of property from
the Winsbergs for the development of the Water Utilities Department’s Green Cay
Wetlands Water Reclamation project. The property
is located off Hagen Ranch Road between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic
Boulevard. The Board approved the
original Lease Agreement in May of 1999 (R99-842D), which allowed the Winsbergs
to continue to farm the property until the Water Utilities Department (WUD) was
ready to construct their project. Over
time, as WUD constructed phases of the Water Reclamation Project, the area
leased to the Winsbergs was reduced and the Winsbergs currently lease approximately
60 acres. The next phase of the Water
Reclamation Project is not expected to be implemented within the next five (5)
years. In April of 2008, the Board
approved the Fourth Amendment (R2008-0629) which extended the term of the Lease
Agreement through May 1, 2010, and provided the Winsbergs with ten (10)
additional one (1) year options to extend the term of the Lease Agreement. Exercising this third option will extend the
term of the Lease Agreement through May 1, 2013. The Winsbergs have the right
to exercise their option and the Board has no discretionary authority to not
allow the exercise of the option. The
County will continue to have the right to terminate this Lease upon 120 days
notice. The annual rental rate for this
option period will continue to be $1/yr.
Seven (7) one (1) year options remain available to the Winsbergs. All other terms of the Lease Agreement remain
in full force and effect. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

recommends motion to approve: a
Flowage and Drainage Easement in favor of Sannlor Properties II, LLC. SUMMARY:
Morikami Park (Park) is located on Jog Road in western Delray Beach between Linton
Boulevard and Clint Moore Road. Sannlor Properties II, LLC (Sannlor) owns a 5
acre site adjacent to the Park which it recently purchased from the American
Orchid Society. Sannlor is redeveloping
the site as a daycare and private school serving autistic children. Currently, the site drains into an existing
lake on County property pursuant to a drainage easement (R2011-1785) granted as
required by a Use and Management Agreement entered into with the Orchid Society
(R95-824D), but does not have legal positive outfall as required by the
County’s Unified Land Development Code.
A Flowage and Drainage Easement is required to allow storm water to flow
through the existing lake and through a connection to the LWDD L-37 Canal. Sannlor will have the right to construct and
maintain an underground pipe across currently undeveloped park property
connecting to the canal. In the event
the Easement has to be relocated in the future because of further Park
development, Sannlor will be required to pay the County for all expenses
associated with the pipe relocation. The
lake area is approximately 142,501 square feet (3.27 acres), and the pipe area
is 15' wide, 436' long, and contains approximately 6,542 square feet (.15
acre). This Easement is being granted at no charge since the
original intent of the Use and Management Agreement in 1995 was to facilitate
drainage from the Sannlor property into the Park’s storm water drainage system.

05-01109-000. Summary: In accordance with County PPM CW-0-051, all
delegated contracts/agreements/ grants/procurement items must be submitted by
the initiating Department as a receive and file agenda item. The Utility
Concurrency Reservation Agreement has been fully executed on behalf of the
Board of County Commissioners (Board) by the County
Administrator/Director/Deputy Director of the Water Utilities Department in
accordance with Resolutions R93-1619, R96-0228, and R2003-0539 and is now being
submitted to the Board to receive and file. District 5 (MJ)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Potable
Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (Agreement) with Jewish Community
Facilities Corporation and Federation CCRC Property Corporation (JCFC). Summary: JCFC owns property located within the
Rainberry P.U.D. between US 441 and Lyons Road, south of Glades Road. In order to provide potable water and
wastewater concurrency reservations for new developments, the Department
requires property owners to enter into a formal development agreement with the
Department. While the Department
Director has been delegated the authority to enter into Standard Development
Agreements (SDAs), Board approval is being sought in this case due to the
timing of fee payments associated with the development of the property. JCFC
has requested that a portion of the fees be remitted upon execution of the SDA with the remaining payable no later than 60
days following final Development Review Officer (DRO) approval or December 31,
2012, whichever occurs first. Under
the terms of the Agreement, remittal of the partial payment does not exempt JCFC
from any subsequent fee change. District 5 (MJ)

5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement with the City of
Greenacres (City) in an amount up to $30,000 for installation of a water main
in Greenacres. Summary: This Interlocal Agreement provides the terms and conditions under which
the County will reimburse the City for all costs associated with construction
of an 8" water main along Jackson Avenue. The County has existing water mains on Jackson and 10th
Avenues which should be connected in order to improve fire flow and increase
water pressure within the area. As part of a City bid for utility
improvements, the City included an alternate for the
construction of the 8" water main along Jackson Avenue connecting to the
County water main along 10th Avenue. Adding the installation of the 8” water main
section to the City’s construction contract is the least disruptive and most
economical method to complete this project.
Ownership of the 8" water main
will be conveyed to the County following completion of construction. District

SUMMARY: Per Board direction of March 20, this approves Alignment Alternative Four for Jupiter Park Drive/Western Corridor (Island Way) within unincorporated Palm Beach County (from Jupiter Gardens Boulevard to 68th Terrace). This approval is required to allow the establishment of the overall alignment from Jupiter Park Drive to Indiantown Road. The Town of Jupiter (Town) is finalizing the development conditions of approval for the Hawkeye Jupiter property (formerly known as the Brown property). The new road, Island Way, will need to be designed and built to provide appropriate access to the property. Land will have to be acquired to allow the construction of the road. The northern and southern ends of the road are within the Town, and are approximately 60% of the road length. The remaining section lies within the unincorporated area. The road is intended to be a Town road when it is constructed with funding expected to come from the Town and the Hawkeye development. However, adopting an alignment at this time may expose the County to inverse condemnation claims. There are no County funds available for this right-of-way acquisition. District 1 (MRE)

process of purchasing the interest of JCBB in the 1040AM radio station,
including the FCC radio station license, tower and equipment. Actualidad will pay the back rent in full,
provided the County agrees to reinstate the Lease, consents to an assignment of
the lease, and reduces the rent to $30,000/year ($2,500/month). The rent was based upon a recent
appraisal. The reduced rental rate
translates to $1,875/acre which exceeds the $500/acre currently paid by row
crop farmers. Actualidad will also post
a $6,250 security deposit. Actualidad
will pay the back rent upon execution of this Consent to Assignment, but all further
obligations of Actualidad are contingent upon closing of Actualidad’s purchase
of the radio station from JCBB which is projected to occur by the end of
April. The ability to collect all past
due rent and an appraisal indicating the rent will be set at current market
rates supports a finding that modification of the lease is in the best interest
of the County. (PREM) District 5/Countywide (HJF)

On February 28, 2012, during a Vehicle for Hire (VFH) workshop, the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) voted to amend the current VFH Ordinance to extend
the current moratorium, which currently expires on May 25, 2012, through June
1, 2013. The moratorium prohibits the establishment of any new companies from
operating in Palm Beach County. In addition, staff was given direction to
revise and clarify several other provisions of the Ordinance as follows: 1)
provide a comprehensive definition of a vehicle for hire company; 2) provide
for additional exemptions for the operation of vehicles, companies and
organizations engaged in transporting persons not subject to the Ordinance,
i.e. not for profit 501(c)(3) organizations, hotel, and motel shuttle services;

application to the Division upon the sale, transfer and change of ownership of
a vehicle for hire business; 5) establish additional enforcement, revocation
and impoundment actions for failure to maintain commercial liability insurance;
6) provide clarification of color/signage schemes and distinct trade names for
all taxis and non-medical wheelchair/stretcher transportation service
companies; 7) establish bi-annual inspections for all vehicles over seven (7) years
old or which have exceeded 500,000 miles; 8) modify the Vehicle for Hire Driver
I.D. Badge requirements to be consistent with other Division ordinances
regulating driver I.D. Badges, and the Florida Highway and Safety Motor Vehicle
rules and regulations; 9) provide a sunset date for existing vehicle for hire
companies to meet new color, signage and trade name requirements. There are
several other minor deletions, additions and clarification, including the
correction of scrivener errors. Enforcement of this Ordinance is funded
entirely through license fees. Staff will also continue to work with the VFH
industry in developing procedures and guidelines for the implementation of a
lottery program or medallion program which will permit new companies to operate
within Palm Beach County. Countywide
