3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL
A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendments
to six consulting/professional service contracts for state lobbying on behalf
of Palm Beach County to extend the term for twelve months to September 30, 2013,
for a total amount of $195,000 as follows:
A) Seventh Amendment to the contract with
Akerman Senterfitt (R2005-2299) in the amount of $27,500;
B) Seventh Amendment to the contract with
Pittman Law Group (R2005-2301) in the amount of $35,000;
C) Seventh Amendment to the contract with
Ericks Consultants (R2005-2302) in the amount of $27,500;
D) Seventh Amendment to the contract with
Corcoran and Associates (R2005-2303) in the amount of $35,000;
E) Seventh Amendment to the contract with The
Moya Group (R2005-2304) in the amount of $35,000; and
F) Sixth Amendment to the contract with Foley
and Lardner, LLP (R2006-2141) in the amount of $35,000.
SUMMARY: The
original term of the contracts with Akerman Senterfitt, Pittman Law Group,
Ericks Consultants, Corcoran and Associates and the Moya Group for state
lobbying was for November 1, 2005, through October 31, 2006, with additional
amendments extending the term through September 30, 2012. The original term of
the contract for Foley and Lardner, LLP was November 1, 2006, through October
31, 2007, with additional amendments extending the term through September 30,
2012. The dollar amounts reflected in each contract are identical to the FY
2012 contracts. Countywide (DW)
2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
supporting increased funding for water projects, alternative water supply, and
water infrastructure. SUMMARY: In
2005, the Florida Legislature passed legislation, SB 444, establishing a
dedicated funding source for water protection and sustainability. The total
funding amounted to $100 million per year on a recurring basis. As quoted by
the bill’s sponsor, Senator Paula Dockery, “This bill creates the Water
Protection and Sustainability Program to provide substantial funding for new
alternative water supply projects and resources for existing water improvement
programs that have been on hold. The bill will ultimately build more drinking
water and sewage systems, reduce water pollution and create more regional water
resources.” In the first year of the
program (2005-2006), $200 million was appropriated with the promise of a
minimum $100 million appropriation in following years. However, over time, the
funding for this program has been eliminated while the need for assistance with
water infrastructure improvements continues to grow. Countywide (DW)

3. Staff recommends
motion to ratify: the signature of the Chair on a Cooperative Agreement
No. FF204K124023 (Charge Resolution Contract) with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allowing the Office of Equal Opportunity
(OEO) to receive revenue for processing and resolving housing discrimination
complaints for the period of July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, in the total
amount of $187,171. Summary: OEO has a
Memorandum of Understanding with HUD through 2013. In order for OEO to receive revenue from HUD
for processing and resolving housing discrimination complaints, execution of
this contract was required prior to September 21, 2012 in order for OEO to meet
HUD’s FY 2012 federal funding deadlines. This Cooperative Agreement is in the
amount of $187,171 ($145,671 - case processing; $11,500 - training funds and
$30,000 - administrative costs). This agenda item only deals with the ability
for OEO to receive revenue under the agreement with HUD. OEO cannot receive the revenue without the Board’s
approval. The agreement to receive the revenue needed to be signed by the
Chair. The Chair signed the agreement on September 6, 2012, for OEO to
receive revenue but the full Board needs to ratify the Chair’s signature. Countywide
(DRO)
4. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Interlocal Agreement with the School
Board of Palm Beach County, Florida, for community use of a walking trail at
Berkshire Elementary School; and
B) Neighborhood Partnership Grant (NPG)
Funding Agreement with the School Board of Palm Beach County, Florida, in an
amount not to exceed $20,000 to construct and install a walking trail for
community use at Berkshire Elementary School.
SUMMARY: The Interlocal Agreement

trail at Berkshire Elementary School. The County, through its Parks and
Recreation Department will assist the School Board with the design of the
walking trail. The School Board will open the walking trail to the public for
community use and to the County for County activities and programs. The NPG
Funding Agreement provides the School Board with a Neighborhood Partnership
Grant in an amount not to exceed $20,000 to assist with the construction and installation
of the walking trail. Funding from existing Countywide Community Revitalization
Team NPG accounts will be used to fund this project. District 2 (AH)
5. Staff recommends

Tournament Agreement with Trump International Golf Club, L.C. and The

of May through October for the County to host either a single two-day, or two

6. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, opposing
Amendment 4 on the November 6th general election ballot. SUMMARY:
Amendment 4 on the November 6th general election ballot is a
statewide question placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature that, if
approved by voters, would make three primary changes to the Florida
Constitution. 1)
This amendment would
reduce the annual growth in assessment limitation on certain non-homestead
property from 10% to 5%. 2) It would
prohibit increases in the assessed value of homestead property and certain
non-homestead property when the market value of the property decreases. 3) It
also gives first time homesteaders an additional exemption equal to 50% of the
median just value of the property; this exemption diminishes to zero over a
five year period. Countywide (DW)

Budget’s Collections Coordinator has reviewed the listing of uncollected
non-sufficient funds checks received by the Finance Department during the
fiscal years of 2005 through 2009 and has concluded that they should be written
off the County’s active Advantage accounts receivable ledger. These checks were for various County programs

uncollectible receivables database is not a forgiveness of the debt and if the
opportunity to collect on any of these checks should arise, the County will
take appropriate action to collect on same.

A) an Agreement with the Law Offices of Bryan
Boysaw & Associates, P.A. (BB&A); and
B) a First Amendment to Declaration of Restrictions with
BB&A.
Summary: On June 19, 2007, the Board of County
Commissioners approved an Agreement (R2007-0911) with BB&A for the use of
$60,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under the Economic
Development Set-Aside Program. These
funds were used to acquire the property located at 501 Rosemary Avenue in the
City of West Palm Beach to expand the firm’s offices by constructing additional
office space on the acquired property.
The County’s funds were secured by a Declaration of Restrictions
recorded against the property. In exchange for the receipt of these funds, the
firm was required to create four full-time equivalent jobs by April 1, 2011,
and to maintain these jobs for three years after their creation. Due to the
economic downturn and due to construction delays, the firm was not able to
create these jobs until January 2012.
This Agreement recognizes the firm’s creation of the required jobs,
establishes the three year maintenance period as of January 2012, and
establishes the associated reporting requirements. The First Amendment to Declaration of Restrictions
modifies the recorded Declaration of Restrictions to become consistent with the
foregoing and amends the length of the property restrictions from ten years to
five years in accord with current Federal regulations. This funding is projected to create four
jobs and have a five year Economic Sustainability Impact of $1,263,000.

reversion of $492,744 in state funds from task 3.2 H for future construction
and a postponement of $1,048,439 in authorized tasks for 3.2H and 4.2L; and
B) Budget Amendment of $1,541,183 to recognize
the revenue contract decrease of $492,744 and a revenue decrease of $1,048,439
requiring future authorization by contract amendment and an associated decrease
in reserves of $1,541,183 in the Beach Improvement Fund reducing the balance of
the reserve account to $39,782.
SUMMARY: Following the original DEP funding grant
award the project was deemed eligible for FEMA reimbursement due to impacts
from Tropical Storm Fay. The increase in FEMA funds reduced both the County and
DEP cost share. This Amendment reverts $492,744 back to FDEP to reflect
the addition of FEMA funding and postpones $1,048,439 for future construction

B. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Resolution No. 2010-1462; extending the current airport ground transportation permit period; modifying the fee and permit period for airport ground transportation permits; providing for ratification of prior resolution; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: Ground transportation permit/decals, authorizing non-concessionaire Vehicle for Hire (VFH) companies to operate at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) on a pre-arranged basis (Airport Decals), are issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) on behalf of the Department of Airports. On March 15, 2011 (Agenda Item 3F-13), the Board approved a modification to Resolution No. 2010-1462 to provide for a two-year permit period for Airport Decals. Airport Decals are currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012. DCA recently modified the permit cycle for issuance of VFH business permits to provide for a May 1st issuance date. To avoid duplication of staff effort and to facilitate issuance of a single decal rather than multiple decals, staff is recommending modifying Resolution No. 2010-1462 to provide for a common expiration date and to issue Airport Decals annually concurrent with issuance of VFH business permits. The expiration date for Airport Decals that were issued for the current permit period would be extended to April 30, 2013, at no additional cost to existing Airport Decal holders. Staff also is recommending a $50 per year fee for each Airport Decal instead of $75 every two years. Airport Decal fees are not prorated; therefore, an annual fee is more equitable to VFH companies obtaining an Airport Decal after the commencement of the permit period. Countywide (AH)

Summary: On
June 29, 2010, the Board of County Commissioners approved the development of a
private pay policy for the Division of Senior Services (DOSS) Program. DOSS has the program and facility capacity
to provide community-based services through an additional option of private
pay. There are currently no fees for DOSS programs; service costs are
supplemented by State and Federal funding.
Private pay will enable DOSS to generate an estimated revenue base of
$135,240 per year, independent from grants and County match, to revert to the
operating budget to serve seniors. This
will supplement the cost of County services and more seniors can be served. DOSS will create two FTE Senior Service Aide
positions, pay grade 12, to ensure adequate program staffing. (DOSS) Countywide

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Satisfaction of Mortgage for Ballet Villages
Housing Limited Partnership (BVHLP). Summary: On December 20, 1994, the County entered
into a Loan Agreement (R94-1812D) with BVHLP to provide $160,000 from State
Housing Initiative Partnership Program funds towards the construction of a 59
unit affordable rental housing project. The project, known as Ballet Villages,
is located at 400, 430 and 440 South Rosemary Avenue, West Palm Beach. This cash flow dependent loan was provided at
three percent (3%) for 15 years, and was secured on February 9, 1995, by a
Mortgage and Security Agreement (BVHLP Mortgage) and a Promissory Note from
BVHLP which matured on April 30, 2012. On March 7, 2000, the Board of County
Commissioners approved a Partial Release of Mortgage in the amount of $27,118
bringing the principal amount due to $132,882 because a portion of the property
was taken by the City of West Palm Beach for the construction of City
Place. Additionally, the BVHLP did not
draw down all of the loan funds bringing the current
principal amount due to $88,300.53. BVHLP desires to refinance their current
three (3) senior mortgages, which will extend the affordability period to
February 2030. As this is a cash flow dependent loan, Staff has reviewed the
financial statements and determined that there is not enough cash flow to
satisfy the current principal amount of $88,300.53 and interest in the amount
of $43,094.56. To date, BVHLP has been unable to make any payments on the
County’s mortgage. Staff is recommending
that $55,638.75 be accepted as full satisfaction of the remaining principal
balance of $88,300.53 and to waive the $43,094.56 in interest due. This recommendation is based on the facts
that the project cash flow does not support full satisfaction of the principal
and interest and that the affordability limit of the project will be extended
an additional 18 years. The original
funding was provided from the State Housing Initiative Partnership Program
which required no local match. (DES

Center (FEDC), a proposed new business unit of Pratt & Whitney, as a Target
Industry Business in a high-impact sector pursuant to s.288.108, Florida
Statutes; providing for Local Financial Support for the Quick Action Closing

C) conceptually
approve an Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption to FEDC in an amount not to exceed $700,000 over a seven year period.
Summary: Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture
and service of aircraft engines, industrial gas turbines and space propulsion
systems with 36,000 employees serving 11,000 customers around the world. FEDC has been identified as a Target Industry
and falls in the high impact sector of Aviation and Aerospace. The Regional Economic Model results
estimates that FEDC’s $63 million renovation/expansion for an engine production
and delivery center will have a $422.5 million impact over a ten year period.
The company is committing to renovate 90,000 square feet of
existing space, construct 80,000 - 100,000 square feet of new space and
purchase equipment representing $63 million in capital investment, create
230 new jobs over a ten year period at an average annual salary of $81,110, and
maintain the created jobs for five years following the job creation
period. Award of the Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption is contingent upon the determination that the project meets the
requirements under Florida Statute 196.012 for an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption. The
company has been offered a total of $3,391,000 million in State funding. Staff’s recommendation is based on the high
number of jobs that will be created and the significant economic impact to be
realized from this expansion in a Target Industry which is considered to play a
key role in the County’s economic success and competitiveness. The company will be required to enter into a
formal Agreement, approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board),
memorializing their commitments and establishing criteria for funding
distribution. The Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program Criteria approved by the Board on
June 22, 2004, requires a supermajority vote of the Board to grant a business
an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption when one or more incentives are being granted.

Summary: On June 5, 2012, the Board of County
Commissioners approved a JGI Grant Agreement (R2012-0855) in the amount of
$75,000 to Digital Risk, LLC (DRLLC) to create and retain 150 jobs and
authorized the transfer of $75,000 from General Fund Contingency Reserves. DRLLC
is a business and financial services firm that specializes in providing
mortgage underwriting services to mortgage originators, lenders, insurers,
conduits, investors and services. DRLLC is increasing its job creation goal from
150 jobs to 600 jobs thereby necessitating the termination of the June 5, 2012
Agreement and the approval of a new Agreement to reflect an increase in the
grant amount by $225,000 in recognition of the additional job creation. The
proposed Agreement establishes a job creation goal of 600 jobs of which the
first 150 jobs will be created by December 31, 2014, and the remaining jobs to
be created by 2018; with an average wage of $48,048, excluding benefits. The company will be paid $500 per job as jobs
are created. The Agreement requires
DRLLC to post an irrevocable letter of credit in the full amount of the
incentive which will be used as collateral should DRLLC fail to meet its
contractual obligations. The company has been offered a total of $3 million in
State incentives which require a $600,000 local match. Of this amount, the City
of Boca Raton will provide $300,000 and the County will provide a total of
$300,000. Palm Beach County’s economic development incentive will be payable
over a period of three years with a maximum of $100,000 payable per year.
Approval of the recommended Agreement will transfer an additional $225,000 to
increase the allocated budget to $300,000. This funding is projected to have
a five year Economic Sustainability Impact of $509 million. Funding will come

County, which is currently estimated at $400,000 to $500,000, plus design costs
(15%). The POAs have verbally offered

old and are expensive to maintain. In addition, many of these systems are no
longer supported by the manufacturers, making it difficult to obtain parts. The
proposed Unified Communications System, which uses the Voice over Internet

resulting in cost savings from disconnecting AT&T voice circuits. This
aspect of the project alone will result in a direct savings of approximately
