Regional Transportation Surtax. SUMMARY:
Eight (8) different types of local discretionary sales surtaxes are currently
authorized in law. Palm Beach County is
one of only 9 counties, out of 67, that does not currently levy any local
discretionary sales surtax. The Charter County and Regional Transportation
System surtax provision is found in Section 212.055(1), Florida Statutes. This provision allows a charter county to
levy a discretionary sales surtax, upon voter approval, of up to one
percent. Proceeds from this
transportation sales surtax may be applied to a wide range of county
transportation uses (including operational uses) such as mass transit, roads,
bridges, and associated debt service. A
one-half percent (.5%) surtax will generate approximately $103 million
annually. The County may, but is not
required to, enter into interlocal agreements with county municipalities to
expend proceeds from the transportation surtax. The local discretionary sales
surtaxes apply to all transactions subject to the state tax imposed on sales,
use, services, rentals, admissions, and other authorized transactions. The surtax applies to the first $5,000 of any
single taxable item. The $5,000 limitation does not apply to the rental of
commercial real property, transient rentals, or services. Currently, transportation costs not covered
by gas tax are funded through ad valorem tax (property owners). Visitors have a
significant impact on the county’s roadway and transportation systems, but pay
no ad valorem taxes. Levying this surtax
will partially shift the funding responsibility to these visitors and create
opportunities for reduction of ad valorem taxes and/or funding of other needed
programs. The tax can only take effect on January 1st. Consideration of this surtax will have no
impact on the upcoming FY 2013 budget.

B. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends motion to approve:
A) a Job Growth Incentive (JGI) Grant Agreement with Digital Risk, LLC in
the amount of $75,000 as a portion of the required local match for a State
Qualified Target Industry Grant (QTI);
B) a Budget Transfer
of $75,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves to the Department of Economic
Sustainability JGI Program; and
C) a Budget Amendment of $75,000 to
the Economic Development Fund to recognize and appropriate the transfer of
funds from the General Fund Contingency Reserves.
Summary: On
January 24, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners conceptually approved
(R2012-0207) a JGI Grant in the amount of $75,000 to Digital Risk, LLC
(DRLLC). This grant amount is one-half
of the local match required by the State to enable the company to receive a
$750,000 tax refund under QTI. The other
one-half of the local match will come from the City of Boca Raton. The Agreement requires DRLLC to create 150
jobs by December 31, 2014, with an average wage of $48,048, excluding benefits. Palm Beach County’s economic development
incentive will be payable over a period of four (4) years. This funding is projected to have five (5)
year Economic Sustainability Impact of $130 Million. Funding will come from General Fund
Contingency Reserves. (DES Contract Development) District 4 (TKF)
2. Staff recommends motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida repealing Resolution 97-1154 which will dissolve the Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP) Advisory Board; and
B) approve an authorization for the Homeless Continuum of Care Grant Review Committee appointed by the Homeless and Housing Alliance to make funding recommendations for the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and an authorization for the County Administrator or his designee to sign the ESG grant application form and certifications.
SUMMARY: Federal regulations require that the County develop and implement a plan to consult with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering and making policies and decisions regarding any ESG funding. This requirement was fulfilled by the ESGP Advisory Board, established by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on September 2, 1997 via Resolution 97-1154. In recent years, vacancies on the ESGP Advisory Board have proven increasingly difficult to fill, while at the same time other local groups interested in homeless issues have evolved and grown in capacity to better perform the advisory function for ESG. To best serve the interests of the County and the requirements of ESG, it is proposed that the ESGP Advisory Board be dissolved, and that the Homeless Continuum of Care Grant Review Committee appointed by the Homeless and Housing Alliance be authorized to make ESG funding recommendations to the Board. In March 2012, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) advised the County of the availability of an additional FY 2011-2012 ESG allocation of $167,529, contingent on the submission of a funding application no later than May 15, 2012. In order to meet this deadline, approval is sought for the Board to authorize the County Administrator, or his designee, to sign the ESG grant application form and certifications. These are Federal funds that require a dollar for dollar match which may be provided in the form of cash or in-kind contributions. (Strategic Planning) Countywide (TKF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an
Interlocal agreement with the Village of Palm Springs providing for the
annexation of one (1) enclave, generally located on the north side of Dale Road
and west of Donald Road, and the transfer of the
responsibility for operation and maintenance of the right-of-way segment of
Dale Road from the County to the Village. SUMMARY: The Board of County
Commissioners has directed staff to work with municipalities to strategically
address annexations. Chapter 171, Florida Statutes (F.S.), allows annexation of
enclaves less than 10 acres through an Interlocal Agreement between the
annexing municipality and the County. By Resolution No.
2012-26, adopted on March 29, 2012, the Village of Palm Springs has petitioned the County to
enter into such an agreement for the annexation of one enclave consisting of two
(2) parcels totaling 0.48 acre, as identified
in Exhibit A of the interlocal agreement. The
Village has provided written notice to all owners of real property located in
the enclave as shown in Attachment 4 (of the Agenda Item). The
Interlocal Agreement also provides for the annexation, as well as the transfer
of operation and maintenance of the right-of-way segment as identified in
Exhibits B and C of the Interlocal Agreement. The
annexation has been processed through the County’s review departments,
including Fire-Rescue, Sherriff’s Office, Engineering, Planning, Zoning,
Environmental Resources Management, Parks and Recreation, Water Utilities,
County Attorney, Property and Real Estate Management and the Office of
Financial Management and Budget. The proposed
annexation meets the requirements of Chapter 171, F.S., and is consistent with
the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. District

D. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS
1. Staff requests
Board direction: regarding the request from the Boynton Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to amend the Declaration of Covenants and
Restrictions encumbering the Boynton Marina to allow the CRA to demolish an
existing building formerly housing the dive shop. SUMMARY: The Board considered the CRA’s request on January 24,
2012. In response to concerns regarding relocation of the Splashdown Divers
dive shop, the Board requested that options to accommodate the dive shop be
explored, including providing space within the new/replacement building or
renovation of the existing building.
Providing space in the proposed new/replacement building is not a viable
option as it is in a poor location for the dive shop, is limited in size to 1,500
SF by a Settlement Agreement with the adjacent Marina Village condominium, and
the condominium is unwilling to allow
an increase in the building size for a retail/dive shop use. Renovation of the existing building could
accommodate both the dive shop and the public restrooms desired by the
CRA. However, this option would require
the CRA to both perform a costly renovation of the existing building and
construct a separate 200 sf dockmaster’s office as required by the Settlement
Agreement with the adjacent Marina Village condominium. The CRA feels that renovation of the existing
building would be the most costly option and is not in accordance with its
master plan for the marina which would replace the building with open/green
space. The CRA is again requesting that
the Board allow the CRA to demolish the existing building. If the Board does not approve demolition, the
CRA is likely to abandon the project and leave the building in its existing
condition, as the Declaration does not require renovation of the existing
building, nor does the Declaration require the CRA to lease the existing
building to Splashdown Divers.
Splashdown Divers agreed to a September 2011 Final Judgment requiring it
to vacate the building and has relocated to new space across the street. (PREM)

motion to approve:
Work Order No. 12-013 with E.C. Stokes Mechanical Contractor, Inc. (R2010-0068)
in the amount of $202,606 for the Supervisor of Elections (SOE) Chiller
Replacement and new Energy Management System (EMS). SUMMARY: The
scope of the project consists of the replacement of the existing chiller (including pumps, piping valves and
associated accessories), a temporary chiller for uninterrupted services, and
replacement of the existing EMS. The existing equipment has reached the
end of its useful life. This project is
budgeted as part of the Five (5) Year Countywide Repair, Replacement and
Renovation program. This work was
competitively bid amongst the pool of (6) annual Heating, Ventilating and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) contractors with E.C. Stokes Mechanical Contractors, Inc.
submitting the lowest responsive, responsible bid. The Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) participation for this Work Order is 25%. When the
participation for this Work Order is added to the total participation for the

22 3CC-2 REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve: a Budget
Transfer of $206,617 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm
Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055 requires
that no less than 15% of the LETF’s previous year’s revenues be used for the
support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention,
crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school resource officer programs of
various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2012 estimated donation
requirement is $87,670. The funds are requested to aid qualified organizations
that meet the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. The PBSO’s support of these programs
exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime
throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into
these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The
current State LETF balance is $1,793,300 $2,386,914. Approval of
this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,586,683
$2,180,297. The year-to-date
transfer for all donations after approval of this item is $975,945. The PBSO certifies that the use of
these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055. Below is a table indicating the organizations
the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per
respective agency. No new positions are
needed and no additional County funds are required. Countywide (PGE) (PBSO)
