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”).

SUMMARY:  On February 5, 2008, the Board approved the contract with CTR Systems Parking, Inc. for the PARCS project at PBIA (R2008-0172) in the amount of $2,370,495 and a contract time of 180 calendar days.  Change Orders 1-7 were approved for a net increase to the contract in the amount of $612,989 and extended the contract time by 516 calendar days.  On September 13, 2011, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 (R2011-1332) to provide for a 5-year Maintenance Agreement with no increase in funding.  Approval of Change Order No. 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 Systems Parking, Inc. is a Warrendale, Pennsylvania based firm, with a local Florida office in Dania Beach, Florida (Broward County).  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Goal for this project was established at 15.00%; however, none of the bidders included SBE participation in their submittals.  The SBE participation for this Change Order is 0%.  The total SBE participation to date is 0%.  While there is no SBE participation in the contract, CTR Systems Parking, Inc. subcontracted 18.85% of the work to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms.

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 (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.

4.         Staff 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.

E.        Staff recommends motion to approve: Alignment Alternative Four for Jupiter Park Drive/Western Corridor (Island Way) within unincorporated Palm Beach County, Jupiter Gardens Boulevard to 68th Terrace. 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)

Based on the 2012 Countywide Millage Rate, it is estimated that approximately $21,884 tax dollars will be exempted annually.  Accompanying the Resolution is a restrictive covenant, which requires the qualifying improvements be maintained during the period that each tax exemption is granted.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) a Consent to Assignment and Amendment of Lease Agreement with James Crystal Boynton Beach, Inc. and Actualidad 1040 AM, LLC, assigning and amending Lease Agreement with James Crystal Boynton Beach dated May 16, 2006 (R2006-0905); and

 

B) a finding that the amendment of the Lease Agreement is in the best interest of the County.

 

SUMMARY:  Since 1986, James Crystal Boynton Beach, Inc. (JCBB) has leased approximately 16 acres of land within the Bowman Farm Property in the Ag Reserve which the County acquired in 2001. JCBB is a broadcasting company that operates four (4) AM radio stations in Palm Beach and Broward Counties, and has four (4) AM radio antenna towers on the property leased from the County.  JCBB’s current rent is $75,000.41/year ($4,687.53/acre) but JCBB has been consistently late with rental payments and is currently approximately $140,000 in arrears (last payment was for June 2010).  The Lease Agreement expired on May 15, 2011, but JCBB had four (4) extension options of five (5) years each which Staff did not allow them to exercise because of the past due rent.  Actualidad 1040AM, LLC (Actualidad) is in the 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.

SUMMARY:  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; 3) provide clarification concerning the requirement to submit a new business 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.
