AGENDA APPROVAL
D. COUNTY
ATTORNEY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Settlement
Agreement in the matter between Palm Beach County, Honeywell, and Sperian
Respiratory Protection USA, LLC wherein Honeywell has agreed to pay the County
$1,750,000 and donate equipment to our Fire Department with an approximate
market value of $200,000. SUMMARY: This case involves the
potential breach of a written contract and warranties concerning the County’s
purchase of 585 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (“SCBA”) or air packs
manufactured by Sperian Respiratory Protection USA, LLC (“Sperian Fire”) for
use by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (“PBCFR”). PBCFR received the air packs in
October 2009, began using them in March 2010, and stopped using them in January
2012 due to various problems experienced with the air packs. Subsequent to the County’s purchase of the
Sperian Fire air packs, Honeywell purchased Sperian Fire. The County and
Honeywell attended a pre-lawsuit mediation on May 30, 2012, and have negotiated
a proposed settlement, settling all claims, including attorney’s fees and
costs, for a lump sum payment by Honeywell to the County in the amount of $1,750,000. Honeywell will also donate to PBCFR 100 sets
of turn out gear, which has an approximate market value of $200,000. The remaining Sperian Fire air packs and
accessory equipment will be returned to Honeywell at Honeywell’s expense. Countywide

2. Staff recommends motion to approve: Settlement Agreement in the alternative dispute resolution proceeding styled, In re Complaint No.: C-2011-04010004, Petitioner Anshei Emuna Congregation, 16191 South Jog Road, Delray Beach, FL, Property ID. #00-42-46-27-00-000-3900. SUMMARY: In 2006, Anshei Emuna Congregation (the “Temple”) requested a land use amendment and development order amendment to delete 1.5 acres from the southern portion of the Temple’s site, so that the deleted acreage could be separately developed as a proposed medical office building. As part of the comprehensive plan and zoning changes requested, a site plan and Alternative Landscape Plan were approved, in order to address compatibility concerns expressed by the neighboring homeowner’s association, Bristol Pointe Homeowner’s Association. The medical office site was ultimately never developed, and the alternative landscaping plan was never implemented. In June 2009, T-Mobile, Inc. (“T-Mobile”) submitted an application for a 100-foot camouflaged cell-phone tower at the synagogue site, pursuant to a lease from the Temple. The final site plan for the cell-phone tower included the Alternative Landscaping Plan. However, the Temple and T-Mobile never installed the Alternative Landscaping Plan as part of the cell-phone tower installation. The County Building Department refused to issue a certificate of occupancy until the Alternative Landscaping Plan was implemented. Nevertheless, T-Mobile and the Temple connected the cell-phone tower to electrical power through the existing irrigation system. Consequently, the County cited the Temple for allowing the cell-phone tower to be placed in operation without a certificate of occupancy, in Complaint No.: C-2011-04010004. The Temple and T-Mobile filed a petition for alternative dispute resolution, pursuant to F.S. §70.51. Bristol Pointe Homeowner’s Association joined the dispute as an interested party. The parties conducted the mediation phase of the alternative dispute resolution process, and ultimately drafted the proposed settlement agreement. The settlement agreement provides that the Temple and T-Mobile pay $25,000 to Bristol Pointe Homeowner’s Association for additional landscaping, and requires the Temple and T-Mobile, Inc. to apply for variances to allow for the continued maintenance of an existing thirty-foot ficus hedge on the Temple property. Further, the Temple and T-Mobile are required to maintain additional camouflaging materials installed on the cell phone tower as part of the mediation process. Under the settlement agreement, each party shall bear their own attorney’s fees and costs. District 5 (ATP)

The Parks and Recreation Department is satisfied with the Lazy Loggerhead

the City of Lake Worth to increase the grant amount from $170,000 to $232,000. Summary: On July 22, 2008, the
Board of County Commissioners approved (R2008-1347) the allocation of $170,000
in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the City of Lake
Worth. On April 21, 2009, the County
entered into an Agreement (R2009-0649) with the City of Lake Worth allocating
these funds for park improvements at the Sunset Ridge Park located at 1415
North “D” Street, Lake Worth. CDBG funds
in the amount of $62,000 have been reallocated from the City of Lake Worth’s
Shuffleboard project in order to complete the Sunset Ridge Park project. The
additional funds will be used to purchase and install playground
improvements. This funding is
projected to create seven (7) jobs and have a five (5) year Economic
Sustainability Impact of $277,780. These are Federal CDBG funds which

4. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, modifying
the Financing Fee; establishing an Attorney Fee for Industrial/Development/Private
Activity Bonds, Refundings, and Refinancings in Palm Beach County; rescinding
Resolution R2011-0852; and providing an effective date. Summary: On June 21, 2011, the Board of County
Commissioners approved Resolution R2011-0852 establishing bond financing fees,
which had not been changed since 2007. The
bond financing fees were raised to become aligned with those charged by other
counties in the State. Recent discussions between the private sector and the
Department of Economic Sustainability prompted staff to revisit the current
structure. It was determined that while
these fees were fair, staff recommends special consideration for applications
from non-profits and for bonds used for refinancing purposes only. This Resolution adjusts the financial fee
structure by setting a maximum fee for for-profit bond applications at
$100,000, and establishes a fee structure for non-profit corporations
which caps the financing fee at $50,000. Applications for refinancing
only will only be subject to the application fee. (DES Administration) Countywide

on April 17 and May 15, this will approve 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

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. There are no funds available for this
right-of-way acquisition. The Board asked at the May 15 meeting, that
additional neighborhood coordination occur prior to
this meeting. The Town of Jupiter had a
meeting with the residents on July 2, to tour facilities similar to those expected
to be built at the Hawkeye Jupiter property and to discuss the various aspects
of the proposed development, including the employment opportunities and future

Governmental Center for FY 2013;
C) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2013 budget for capital projects approved and established in
the current fiscal year. These projects were approved in the current fiscal
year (FY 2012) after the preparation of the proposed budget and are therefore
not currently included in the FY 2013 budget. These adjustments will have no
impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative
budget to be presented at the first public hearing; and
D) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2013 budget for designated fund balances for contingency and
other projects and carryover for encumbrances. These balances and encumbrances
were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2012) after the preparation of the
proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2013 budget.
These adjustments will have no impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be
incorporated into the tentative budget to be presented at the first public hearing.
SUMMARY: The proposed millage rates for Countywide,

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners
of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Resolution No. R2009-0472, as amended
by Resolution No. R2009-2171 and Resolution No. R2011-1101, approving a revision to the Investment Policy for
surplus County funds; revising the definition of money market funds that are
authorized investments under the Investment Policy; and providing for an
effective date. SUMMARY:
On May 10, 2012, the Investment Policy Committee recommended a revision to the
County’s Investment Policy. That
revision modifies the definition of money market funds authorized under the
Investment Policy to those Securities and Exchange Commission registered money
market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally
recognized rating agency. This new
definition tracks the more flexible statutory definition for authorized money
market investments. Countywide (PFK)
2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida approving the issuance of revenue bonds in an amount
not to exceed $90,000,000 (the “Bonds”) by the Palm Beach County Health
Facilities Authority (the "Authority"). SUMMARY: If the Bonds are issued, the Authority will loan
the proceeds of the Bonds to any one or more of The Joseph L. Morse Geriatric
Center, Inc., The Tradition of the Palm Beaches, Inc., and/or MorseLife, Inc.
(collectively, the "Corporations") to provide funds to be used to
refund the Palm Beach County, Florida Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds (Morse
Obligated Group) Series 2003 (the "Refunded Bonds") and to finance
the renovation of existing, and construction of new, nursing and assisted
living facilities on the Corporations' existing campus (the "Campus")
located at 4847 Fred Gladstone Drive and 4920 Loring Drive in the City of West
Palm Beach, Florida. All facilities
financed and refinanced with the Bonds will be located at the Campus and will
be owned and operated by one or more of the Corporations and MorseLife
Foundation, Inc. Approval by an elected body is required by the Internal
Revenue Code; however, adoption of this resolution does not in any way obligate
the County. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County
nor any County funds are pledged to pay the principal, redemption premium, if
any, or interest on the Debt Obligations. District 2 (PFK)

3. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the application
submitted by Pine Crest Preparatory School, Inc. with respect to the requested
issuance by the County of its Palm Beach County, Florida refunding revenue
bonds (Pine Crest Preparatory School, Inc. Project), Series 2012A (the “Series
2012A Bonds”), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,615,000, and
its Palm Beach County, Florida refunding revenue bonds (Pine Crest Preparatory
School, Inc. Project), Series 2012B (the “Series 2012B Bonds” and, together
with the Series 2012A Bonds, the “Bonds”), in an aggregate principal amount not
to exceed $35,615,000; authorizing the negotiated sale of the Bonds;
authorizing the execution and delivery of an interlocal agreement; determining
certain details of the Bonds; approving and authorizing the execution and
delivery of the Bonds; approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of
a financing agreement in respect of the Series 2012A Bonds and a trust
indenture and loan agreement in respect of the Series 2012B Bonds; approving
and authorizing the execution and delivery of certain other documents,
including a bond purchase agreement in respect of the Series 2012B Bonds;
approving form and authorizing distribution of the official statement for the
Series 2012B Bonds; approving the
underwriter, the remarketing agent, the trustee, the paying agent and the
tender agent, all for the Series 2012B Bonds; authorizing the registration of
the Series 2012B Bonds under a book-entry system; approving a limited waiver of
the fees required to be paid to the County in connection with the issuance of
the Bonds; authorizing the proper officers of the County to do all other things
deemed necessary or advisable in connection with the sale and delivery of the
Bonds; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: Pine Crest Preparatory School, Inc. (the “School”), a Florida
non-profit corporation exempt from taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, has applied for the issuance of
the Bonds by the County in a combined aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$71,230,000. The Bonds will be issued in
two series, each in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$35,615,000. The Series 2012A Bonds will
be placed directly with Bank of America, N.A.
The Series 2012B Bonds will be offered publicly and supported by an
irrevocable letter of credit from TD Bank, N.A.
Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to current refund the County’s
outstanding Revenue Bonds (Pine Crest Preparatory School, Inc. Project), Series
2008 (the “Series 2008 Bonds”), which will be outstanding in the aggregate
principal amount of $71,225,000 on the projected closing date for the issuance
of the Bonds. The County issued the
Series 2008 Bonds to finance and refinance the costs of acquisition,
construction, reconstruction and equipping of educational facilities of Pine
Crest School at its Boca Raton campus located at 2700 St. Andrews Boulevard,
Boca Raton, Florida 33434 and its Fort Lauderdale campus located at 1501 Northeast
62nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334.
Because part of the educational facilities are
located in Boca Raton, and part are located in Fort Lauderdale, the County will
be authorized pursuant to an interlocal agreement with Fort Lauderdale to issue
the Bonds for such educational facilities.
The Bond Resolution includes a limited waiver of financing fees
otherwise required to be paid to the County in connection with the issuance of
the Bonds. The Borrower has paid the
required application fee and remains obligated to pay the fees of the County
Attorney’s office incurred in connection with the proposed issuance of the
Bonds. The Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived from the School,
and the Series 2012B Bonds will be further secured by an irrevocable letter of
credit from TD Bank, N.A. Neither the
taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds shall
be pledged to pay principal or redemption premium, if any, or interest on the
Bonds. District 4 (PFK)

C. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Modification to the State Housing Initiative
Partnership (SHIP) Program’s Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) to modify the
maximum subsidy limits for very low, low, and moderate income eligible
households. Summary: The SHIP
Program provides funding for various programs designed to further the
development and preservation of affordable housing. The current maximum subsidy
limits for the Purchase Assistance Program as funded through SHIP is $150,000
for very low income households whose incomes are at or below 50% of Area Median
Income (AMI), $60,000 for low income household whose incomes are at or below
80% of AMI, and $45,000 for moderate income households whose incomes are at or
below 120% of AMI. The new recommended subsidy limits are $100,000 for very low
income households, $65,000 for low income households, and $50,000 for moderate
income households. The recommended
subsidy limits support the current average median sales price for Palm Beach
County, increase the number of residents able to be assisted throughout the
County, and bring about consistency with all County programs. Upon approval of this agenda item, the LHAP
will be amended to reflect the above modifications and forwarded to the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). Staff had prepared to take this item to the
Commission on Affordable Housing for approval on January 26, 2012 and on April
26, 2012. However, both meetings were
cancelled due to the lack of a quorum.
So as not to further delay the submission of these modifications to
FHFC, Staff is bringing them forward for approval. These are State SHIP
grant funds which require no local match. (B&HI) Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Interlocal
Agreement with the Village of Tequesta providing for the annexation of three (3)
enclaves, generally located on the south side of County Line Road, east of
Riverside Drive. SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) 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.
13-12, adopted on June 14, 2012, the Village of Tequesta has petitioned the County to enter
into such an agreement for the annexation of three (3) enclaves consisting of five (5) parcels totaling 2.12 acres, as identified in Exhibit A of the Interlocal Agreement. The Village has provided
written notice to all owners of real property located in the enclaves as shown
in Attachment 4 of the Agenda Item. The annexation has been processed
through the County’s review departments, including Fire-Rescue, Sheriff’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 1 (RB)

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: Option Agreement (“Agreement”) with NewKita Group, Inc., (“NewKita”) for the donation of an 11.8 acre parcel of County-owned land (“Parcel”) adjacent to the Palm Glades Apartment Complex in unincorporated Belle Glade for the development of a multi-use recreational and community center complex (“Complex”). SUMMARY: The County owns the vacant Parcel adjacent to Palm Glades Apartment Complex in unincorporated Belle Glade. NewKita 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. The estimated construction cost for the Complex is $5,385,250 with total project costs of approximately $6,507,250. 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 key milestones require: 1) NewKita to submit annual status reports in their fundraising efforts until such time that the Purchase Agreement is executed, 2) NewKita to demonstrate that it has raised $2,100,000 represented by receipts and guaranteed pledges by the second anniversary of this Agreement, and 3) County to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for the Parcel at such time that NewKita raises $4,000,000 within four (4) years of the effective date of this Agreement. In the event that any of these milestones are not met, the County has the right to terminate the Option Agreement. The Purchase Agreement will convey the Parcel for $0, making this a donation by the County. The Purchase Agreement will require NewKita to demonstrate that it has raised 100% of projected construction costs prior to closing (at which time title will be conveyed) and commencement of construction must begin construction within two (2) years of the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement will also have a reverter in favor of the County in the event that construction is not timely commenced or thereafter the Parcel is not used for Complex purposes only or for failure to commence construction by the milestone. The appraisal of the property assigned a market value of $195,000 to the Parcel. This Option Agreement must be approved by supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (FDO Admin) District 6 (HJF)

3. Staff recommends motion to approve: an Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions with Pero West Land, LLC., modifying use restrictions and removing the reverter on 53 acres of the McMurrain property in the Ag Reserve. SUMMARY: The County sold 53 acres of the McMurrain property to Pero West Land, LLC. in 2002 for use by Pero in the expansion of its existing hydroponic facilities. As part of the sale, the County imposed a deed restriction limiting use of the property to agricultural purposes, with the specific intention that hydroponic facilities be constructed. The deed also contained a reverter if the restrictive covenant was violated. Pero desires to expand their existing packing and processing facilities and has requested: 1) that the existing restrictive covenant be modified to remove references to hydroponic facilities; and 2) to expand the definition of “agricultural purposes” to include the processing of agricultural products, including storing, bottling, manufacturing, wholesale selling, packaging, transportation and distribution of agricultural products and the construction of facilities in support of such processing. Economic conditions, including the inability to obtain windstorm insurance at a reasonable price, make it cost prohibitive to construct new hydroponic facilities. Pero has also requested that the reverter be released as it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain financing for development of new agricultural support facilities. Staff recommends approval, as the processing of agricultural products is an ancillary use which will enable Pero to expand and take full advantage of the agricultural production occurring in the Ag Reserve and will help ensure the long term viability of agricultural production in the County. The County will retain the right to enforce compliance with the Covenants and Restrictions, notwithstanding release of the reverter. Pero leases adjacent land from the County upon which crops grow that could be processed hereon, which lease expires in 2013. Pero has indicated its desire to extend that lease, but this approval should not be a predisposition of that lease determination. (PREM) District 5/Countywide (HJF)

Board direction: on the approval of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale
(“Agreement”) with Transit Village, LLC (“TV”) for certain interests in the
County owned real property commonly known as the Wedge and located within the
City of West Palm Beach’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Agreement, TV
will develop a transit oriented development (“Project”) over and adjacent to
the County’s Intermodal Transit Center (ITC). TV has six (6) years to commence
construction (interim milestones apply) on the Project, at a reduced intensity,
of up to: 1) 12,500 sf of civic uses, 2) 400,000 sf of commercial/office, 3)
375 hotel rooms, 4) 150 residential units (student/workforce/market), 5) 150
luxury residential units and 6) 75,000 sf amenity retail. The four (4) critical
objectives of the Request for Proposals (RFP) leading up to the Agreement were
to: 1) protect the operation of the ITC, 2) ensure that County would not assume
any financial risk or liability associated with the development of the Project,
3) ensure that the Project would not consume more than its share of the public
infrastructure available for, or otherwise burden, the remainder of the
development of the TOD, and 4) fulfill the County’s obligations to the South
Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) with respect to parking. The
Agreement is legally sufficient and can be approved today to move this project
forward. In relation to the critical objective of protecting ITC operations, it
should be noted that the Agreement contains extensive pre-construction and
construction requirements to protect ITC operations from the impacts of the
Project. However even with these contractual protections, it is not possible to
guarantee that ITC operations will not be impacted.
The purchase price is $100,000.
The appraised values ranged from $350,000 to -$5,000,000 under the sales
comparison approach and both appraisals deemed the Project infeasible utilizing
the discounted sell-out/land residual valuation approach. The Property Review
Committee reviewed the appraisals and the proposed sales price and found the
sales price to be reasonable and market oriented. This Agreement must be approved by supermajority vote (5
Commissioners). (FDO) Countywide

CERTAIN 2:45 P.M. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment Number 2 to Interlocal Agreement
(R2007-0349) with the City of Riviera Beach for renovations and improvements to
the City Marina. SUMMARY: In 2007, the County approved a $5 million grant to the
City for improvements to the City Marina (Project). At a workshop on May 24, 2011, the City
presented plans for a complete replacement of the seawall/bulkheads, piers and
docks within the Marina in two phases and requested a time extension until
September 30, 2012. The Board supported
the change, and since the Workshop the City has made substantial progress on
the Project. It has completed redesign
of the Project, obtained permits for the new docks, completed replacement of
the north half of the seawall/bulkhead, completed selection of a contractor to
manufacture new docks with dock delivery and installation scheduled to begin at
the end of June. Phase 1 of the Project,
the portion being funded by the County, will be completed at the end of
September and open to the public no later than December 31, 2012. Consistent with the presentation at the
workshop, Amendment Number 2: i) modifies the Project Description, Conceptual
Site Plan and Cost Estimates attached to the Interlocal Agreement; ii) revises
the date for completion of Phase 1 of the Project to December 31, 2012; iii)
revises the legal description of the property upon which the Project will be
constructed to include only the area in which the seawall/bulkhead, piers and
docks will be constructed; and iv) clarifies that the County funding is for
only Phase 1 of the Project and authorizes reimbursement of previous
expenditures by the City, including design and engineering fees. This Amendment
also acknowledges that the City intends to redevelop the upland portions of the
City property with a mix of public and private uses, including without
limitation, restaurants, a public market, a community center, retail shops, a
hotel and parking garages, and allows the City to enter into a development
agreement with a master developer so long as such agreement is consistent with
the goal of providing public access to and increased usage of the waterfront.
The Amendment continues to prohibit transfer of ownership of both the water and
upland portions of the Marina, but allows the City to enter into a management
agreement with a marina management company. (PREM) District 2/Countywide
