32                    4A                   REVISED SUMMARY:  On January 15, 2013, the Board approved the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement establishing the Glades Utility Authority (First Amendment).  Pursuant to the First Amendment, the County will absorb the Glades Utility Authority (GUA) water and wastewater system and customers and reduce current rates by 6.5%.  These reduced rates will be charged to customers for a period of eight years. After the initial eight years, the GUA's rates will revert to the County's rates plus seven percent.  Existing GUA rates are approximately 75% higher than current County rates, and revenue from the rate differential will be used to pay debt service on the bonds being absorbed and to pay "Host Fees" to the Cities of Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay.  The proposed ordinance will adopt the rates currently being charged by the GUA and include those rates in Chapter 6 of the Water Utilities Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual.  Exhibit “A” to the Ordinance attached to the April 2, 2013, preliminary reading agenda item has been modified to remove the Water Utilities Department account deposit fees and miscellaneous fees, as said fees have previously been adopted by the Board of County Commissioners.  The revision does not affect any rates currently being charged to existing Water Utilities customers.  (WUD)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Contract with GCR, Inc. in the amount of $541,005 for the implementation and maintenance of the Airports Properties and Revenue Management Software (APRMS). SUMMARY: In response to Request for Proposal No. 12-074/SC, four proposals were received for the APRMS Project. County staff determined GCR, Inc. to be the only responsive proposer and after an evaluation by a six member selection committee, recommended GCR for contract award. GCR’s principal place of business is in New Orleans, Louisiana. The selection committee consisted of representatives from the Department of Airports (DOA), Information Systems Services, and the Office of Small Business Assistance. The selection process included detailed functional and technical criteria, live demonstration of the proposer’s software, reference checks of similar users, and evaluation of the proposer’s staffing, approach, and pricing.  GCR, Inc’s proposal also includes 15% Small Business Enterprise participation, meeting the County’s goal. The Contract provides for the implementation of the APRMS and subsequent maintenance for a period of five years, with an option to extend for an additional five years at the County’s sole discretion. The contractor has furnished a Performance Bond in the amount of $100,000 which will be maintained until the DOA fully accepts the system implementation as complete. The Contract value consists of three components: software and installation ($253,005), five year maintenance ($88,000), and optional services ($200,000). Optional services will be used for the implementation of various interfaces to fully integrate the APRMS with other financial systems and to provide point of sale solutions for various revenue sources. All funding is from Airport revenues; no ad valorem funding will be used. Countywide (AH/DW)

A) adopt a Resolution approving Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement (SJPA) Number 3 with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) increasing the original funding for security improvements at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport and Palm Beach County Glades Airport; and

 

B) approve a Budget Amendment of $245,958 in the Airport Improvement and Development Fund to recognize additional funds from the SJPA; and increase the project cost to $307,448, which includes a transfer from the reserves in the amount of $61,490.

 

SUMMARY:  On September 23, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted a Resolution (R2008-1636) approving a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) with the FDOT in the amount of $1,500,000 or 80% of the eligible project costs, whichever is less, to construct aprons and taxilanes at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport.  On January 13, 2009, the BCC adopted a Resolution (R2009-0080) approving SJPA Number 1 amending the original project description to include construct hangars at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport due to a need for additional hangars in lieu of apron and taxilane construction, with no increase in funding. Of the original $1,500,000 in FDOT funding, $158,000 remained after completion of the hangar construction, which could be reprogrammed to another project.  On May 1, 2012, the BCC adopted a resolution (R2012-0622) approving SJPA Number 2 amending the original project description to include Airport security improvements at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport and Palm Beach County Glades Airport, and amending the FDOT’s participation on the balance of the original project from 80% to 100% to utilize the remaining $158,000 in the JPA.  This SJPA No. 3 increases the original funding by $245,958 and amends the FDOT’s participation on this additional funding from 100% to 80% to offset increased cost for miscellaneous general aviation security improvements.  With this additional funding, the total funding provided in this JPA is $1,745,958, of which $1,342,000 was used for hangar construction, and the remaining $403,958 will be used on security improvements at North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport and Palm Beach County Glades Airport.

SUMMARY: This agenda item is a renewal to the general building minor construction contract which was awarded to sixteen approved participants. This annual Minor Construction contract is an indefinite-quantity contract with a maximum cumulative value per year.  Projects are bid among the pre-qualified participants.  The original contracts provided for an initial one year term with four - one year renewal options with a $500,000 cumulative limit.  Amendment No. 1 approved by the Board on October 2, 2012, (R2012–1373 to 1382), reduced the original list of sixteen pre-qualified bidders to ten, extended the contracts for one year, and reset the maximum cumulative value to $500,000.  Staff is bringing forward Amendment No. 2 at this time because the contract has reached its maximum dollar value within this renewal period as the bidding process used by this contract has increased versus using the job order contracting method as in the past. Staff is requesting the limit be increased to $1,000,000 and the contract extended for another year in order to cover the projected need.  During the second term of this contract, the County has awarded $449,776 in work orders.  All contractors are Palm Beach County companies with the exception of Coral-Tech Associates, Inc. who is a Broward County company.  Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goals for the minor construction contracts are 15%.  The cumulative SBE participation for all work orders issued the first year is 46.8%.

Summary: On April 21, 2009, the County entered into a Conditional Grant Agreement (R2009-0658) with Habitat to provide $750,000 of State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds for the acquisition of a 3.5 acre parcel of land where 19 affordable homes will be constructed and known as Kennedy Estates II.  The proposed development of these homes at Kennedy Estates II is the second phase by Habitat to provide affordable housing in this area west of the Town of Jupiter.  Habitat is required to complete the construction of these homes by June 30, 2013.  Seven homes are to be sold to low income households whose incomes are at or below 80% percent of median income and 12 homes are to be sold to very low income households whose incomes are at or below 50% of median income.  To date, Habitat has completed the on-site infrastructure work, has begun construction on four homes and submitted permit applications for four homes.  The proposed amendments will provide Habitat until June 30, 2014 to complete all homes. On June 12, 2011, the County subordinated its Mortgage which secured the SHIP funds to the HFA mortgage which anticipated a maturity date of June 30, 2013.  Since the maturity date of the HFA mortgage is being changed to coincide with the County’s mortgage, execution of the Amended and Restated Mortgage Subordination Agreement is recommended.  This will maintain the County’s Mortgage in a subordinate position to that of the HFA mortgage while alleviating any unclarity that might arise from the change in maturity date.  These are State SHIP funds which require no local match.

Summary: On October 21, 2008, the County entered into a Conditional Grant Agreement (R2008-1870) with NRI to provide $375,000 in State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) funds towards the construction of five homes.  According to the Mortgage and Promissory Note executed to secure these funds, NRI was to complete and convey these homes to income-eligible County approved homeowners by January 1, 2010.  NRI was able to convey one of these homes to a County approved homeowner; however, potential homebuyers for the remaining homes have had difficulty obtaining private financing.  On March 6, 2012, the County entered into a First Mortgage and Note Modification Agreement (R2012-0323) to extend the deadline for the conveyance of the remaining four homes to December 31, 2013. The documents recommended for approval by the Board of County Commissioners will further facilitate the occupancy of the remaining units by income eligible households.  These documents accomplish the following: 1) Allow the occupancy of the homes under a three year lease-purchase arrangement; 2) Allow rental occupancy for a five year period; 3) Extend the term of the mortgage and note five years; 4) Update various definitions to current standards; 5) Subordinate the County’s mortgage to a new first mortgage holder as part of NRI’s refinancing of two existing private mortgages; and 6) Require NRI to pay approximately $8,000 to cover the County’s monitoring costs for a five year period.  These are SHIP grant funds which require no local match.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Budget Transfer of $150,000 within the 2005 $25 Million Recreational and Cultural Facilities Bond fund from the South Bay RV and Recreation Center project to the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center Painting project. Summary: This budget transfer will provide the additional funding necessary to clean and paint the covered arena at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center.  The under roof structure of the covered arena is comprised of beams, stanchions and wires.  These components have rusted over the last five years and they need to stripped, cleaned, and repainted with a rust resistant paint.  The arena roof is 40,500 sq. ft. and is roughly between 30 and 45 feet above ground.  This project will cost approximately $250,000. Currently, there is $100,000 available in the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center Painting project budget, and this transfer of $150,000 is necessary to fully fund this project. Funding for this budget transfer is from the 2005 $25 Million Recreational and Cultural Facilities Bond and is available from the South Bay RV and Recreation Center.  The Jim Brandon Equestrian Center project needs to be completed this summer while equine activities are slower.  The South Bay RV and Recreation Center project is currently on hold pending additional design and engineering plans.  District 2 (AH)

Resolution 94-422, amended by 2002-2103, 2007-0409 and 2012-0168, granted Departmental authority to sign independent contractor agreements with recreation instructors and sports officials.  Kiril Zahariev contracted with the County over the past nine years as a swim coach for the Jupiter Dragons Swim Team at the North County Aquatic Complex. Due to the term of the contract coupled with the size of the program, this contract now exceeds the intent of authority originally delegated, so staff recommends that the coaching services with Kiril Zahariev be approved through the use of a professional services contract.  This is a self sustaining program in which revenues exceed expenditures, with the County retaining 20% and the contractor receiving 80%, for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $150,000 per year.  This coach utilizes two additional coaches in providing this service.

SUMMARY: This Third Amendment extends the Interlocal Agreement for Interfacility Ambulance Funding with Glades Hospital Holdings, Inc. (now known as District Hospital Holdings, Inc.), d/b/a Glades General Hospital (now known as Lakeside Medical Center) (“Hospital”), a public hospital located in the Glades area of Palm Beach County that predominantly serves a population residing within the Fire/Rescue Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU).  The Hospital entered into a Healthcare Transportation Service Agreement with American Medical Response (AMR) on March 8, 2008, which has been renewed for an additional one year period through March 7, 2014.  This Transport Agreement requires AMR to station an ambulance at the Hospital to provide interfacility transport services for patients under the care of the Hospital, and the Hospital to pay AMR for ambulance transports as well as an annual Stationing and Availability Fee. Pursuant to the Hospital’s request, the County agreed to fund one-half the Availability Fee.  This Third Amendment extends funding for an additional year, in an amount not to exceed $159,868, to correspond with the Transport Agreement’s renewal and updates certain other contract provisions.  Having a dedicated interfacility ambulance provider in the Glades area has eased the strain on the resources of the County and its Fire/Rescue MSTU for emergency response in that area, and promotes the public health, safety and welfare within the County, including within the Fire/Rescue MSTU.

B) authorize Palm Tran’s Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director, through the County Administrator, to electronically execute and file the required certifications and assurances, on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, and to transmit the Board’s approval.

 

Summary:  Palm Tran needs to execute and file the required annual certifications and assurances on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners before FTA may award a Federal grant or cooperative agreement.  The applicant must provide to FTA all certifications and assurances pertaining to itself or its project as required by Federal laws and regulations.  Selecting and submitting certifications and assurances to FTA, through FTA's Transportation Electronic Award and Management system signifies the county’s intent to comply with the requirements of those certifications and assurances to the extent they apply to a program for which the county submits an application for assistance in Federal Fiscal Year 2013.  FTA’s Certifications and Assurances are generally pre-award requirements, i.e., those requirements of Federal law and regulations the Applicant must fulfill before FTA is legally authorized to award Federal financial assistance to an Applicant.  FTA requires a current (Federal Fiscal Year 2013) attorney's affirmation of the Applicant's legal authority to certify compliance with the funding obligations in this document; the attorney's signature from a previous year is not acceptable.

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) receive and file a Grant Modification dated November 29, 2012, to extend the agreement period for the Miami Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Regional Maritime Radar Project from December 31, 2012, through February 28, 2013, and to reduce the award amount to $719,643;

 

B) receive and file a Grant Modification dated March 6, 2013, to extend the agreement period for the Miami UASI Regional Maritime Radar Project from February 28, 2013, through April 30, 2013; and

 

C) approve a Budget Amendment to reduce the grant budget amount from $1,010,300 to $719,643.

 

SUMMARY: On December 18, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners accepted our agreement with Miami-Dade County, as the fiscal agent for the Miami Urban Area Security Initiative grant, to provide $1,010,300 in reimbursable funding for the implementation of the Regional Maritime Radar Project. The original expiration period was through December 31, 2012 (R2012-1926). However, these grant modifications will extend the agreement period through April 30, 2013 and reduce reimbursable funding to $719,643 due to cost savings. These funds will be used for the purchase of equipment and installation of a Maritime Coastal Radar to support international border and waterway security. There is no match requirement associated with this award. No additional positions are needed and no additional County funds are required.  Countywide (PGE)

4.         PUBLIC HEARINGS – 9:30 A.M. (Motion to receive and file: Proof of publication)

 

 

A.        REVISED SUMAMRY:  Staff recommends motion to adopt:  an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, adopting rates for the Glades Utility Authority Service area; incorporating the rates into the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; and providing for an effective date.  Summary: On January 15, 2013, the Board approved the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement establishing the Glades Utility Authority (First Amendment).  Pursuant to the First Amendment, the County will absorb the Glades Utility Authority (GUA) water and wastewater system and customers and reduce current rates by 6.5%.  These reduced rates will be charged to customers for a period of eight years. After the initial eight years, the GUA's rates will revert to the County's rates plus seven percent.  Existing GUA rates are approximately 75% higher than current County rates, and revenue from the rate differential will be used to pay debt service on the bonds being absorbed and to pay "Host Fees" to the Cities of Belle Glade, Pahokee, and South Bay.  The proposed ordinance will adopt the rates currently being charged by the GUA and include those rates in Chapter 6 of the Water Utilities Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual.  Exhibit “A” to the Ordinance attached to the April 2, 2013, preliminary reading agenda item has been modified to remove the Water Utilities Department account deposit fees and miscellaneous fees, as said fees have previously been adopted by the Board of County Commissioners.  The revision does not affect any rates currently being charged to existing Water Utilities customers. District 6 (MJ)

 

 

B.        REVISED TITLE: Staff recommends motion to adopt:

 

1) an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 19, Article IX (Ordinance No. 2008-43, amended by Ordinance No. 2011-007, amended by Ordinance No. 2011-032, amended by Ordinance No. 2011-040, amended by Ordinance No. 2012-009, and amended by Ordinance No. 2013-003 ); relating to taxicabs and other vehicles for hire, to be known as the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance; amending Section 19-213 (definitions); amending Section 19-214 (compliance with article required); amending Section 19-218 (business permit application); amending Section 19-220 (vehicle requirements); amending Section 19-221 (vehicle decal requirements); amending Section 19-226 (commercial automobile liability insurance); amending Section 19-227 (driver requirements; failure to comply); amending Section 19-235 (start-up), providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; and providing an effective date; and

 

2) a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida; repealing Resolution No. R2011-1977, and establishing a schedule of fees required by the revised Vehicle for Hire Ordinance and establishing minimum commercial automobile liability insurance limits for Vehicle for Hire companies.

 

SUMMARY:  The proposed Ordinance amendments were approved by the Vehicle for Hire (VFH) industry March 6, 2013 and the Board of County Commissioners on March 26, 2013. These amendments will enhance the quality of services offered to Palm Beach County residents and visitors. Several of the new requirements will take effect on June 1, 2013, and others will take effect within the next eighteen to sixty months. Some of the changes will require the VFH industry to accept credit cards, establish a uniform policy, and removes the ten year age limit on vehicles provided they are inspected bi-annually by an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified mechanic after 350,000 miles or if older than seven years, whichever comes first. The Resolution, as required by the Code of Ordinances, establishes a new transfer, sale or change of ownership fee of $500, and new company registration fee of $10,000. These new fees will be effective as of June 1, 2013. Countywide (PGE)

5.         REGULAR AGENDA

 

 

A.        ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, concurring with Palm Beach County’s inclusion within the Service Area of Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 135; and supporting the application of the Port of Palm Beach District for Alternate Site Framework designation through a letter of support.  Summary:  The Port of Palm Beach District (Port) is federally-designated as Grantee of FTZ 135.  Pursuant to a Resolution passed by its Board on December 20, 2012, the Port is applying to the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones Board for an Alternate Site Framework (ASF) designation.  The ASF designation would expand FTZ 135 to include the counties of Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie, in their entirety, allowing companies broader access to FTZ benefits and shortening the process for FTZ activation.  Companies operating in an FTZ can defer, reduce or eliminate customs duties on foreign products admitted into zones for storage, exhibition, assembly, manufacture, and processing.  It is anticipated that the Port will be able to expand international trade and exports, attract new off-shore activity and encourage the retention of domestic activity, assist state and local economic development efforts, and create employment opportunities by having this designation.  As part of the ASF application process, each county to be included in the FTZ is requested to provide a letter of support/concurrence to accompany the application.  There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. (DES) Countywide (DW)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) as required by the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program Act, Subsections 420.907-420.9079, Florida Statutes, and Rule Chapter 67-37, Florida Administrative Code; authorizing and directing the County Administrator to execute any necessary documents and certifications needed by the State; authorizing the submission of the LHAP for review and approval by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC); and providing an effective date.  Summary: Palm Beach County has participated in the SHIP Program since 1993. Funding levels for the Program have been significantly reduced Statewide with the County receiving approximately $2 million during the last four Fiscal Years compared to receiving approximately $36 million during the prior four  Fiscal Years.  While SHIP Program funding is not guaranteed for the upcoming Fiscal Years, the State requires that Palm Beach County submit an LHAP to FHFC every three years.  The proposed LHAP, which is due on May 2, 2013, covers Fiscal Years 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-206.  By approving the LHAP and submitting it to FHFC, the County will be in a position to receive funding under the SHIP Program during the three upcoming years if the State makes any funding allocations to participating jurisdictions. The LHAP includes the following strategies: First Mortgage Loans, Purchase Assistance, Housing Rehabilitation/Barrier Free, Emergency, Replacement Housing, Disaster Mitigation, Utility Connection/Impact Fee, Foreclosure Prevention, Rental Housing Entry, and Developer Assistance Rental. Additionally, the proposed LHAP includes a definition for “Project Delivery Costs” which will be used to clarify costs associated with project implementation.  SHIP regulations require that at least 65% of a local jurisdiction’s allocation be earmarked for homeownership activities. These are State SHIP funds which require no local match. (B&HI) Countywide (TKF)

B.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the lease of certain real property to Jupiter Community Health Services, Inc. (JCHS);

 

B) approve a Development Agreement with JCHS;

 

C) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to execute the Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) and Lease pursuant to the terms of this Development Agreement (Agreement); and

 

D) approve a Budget Amendment of $896,000 in the Public Building Improvement Fund to recognize revenue and establish a project budget.

 

SUMMARY: In October 2012, Staff was authorized to negotiate with JCHS, a 501(c)(3) corporation, for the expansion of Health Department operated and County-owned Jupiter Health Center (Expansion) on Indiantown Road to create a facility from which JCHS can operate a no cost medical/dental clinic as a volunteer provider of services to eligible Palm Beach County residents. The Agreement: 1) establishes the fund raising milestones for JCHS and the process by which JCHS will transfer all funding required for the Expansion to the County, 2) provides the process by which the County will plan, design and construct the Expansion, 3) includes a TCE in favor of JCHS allowing for the placement and operation of an interim medical/dental clinic facility during the development of the Expansion, and 4) provides for a 30 year Lease with two - ten year options to extend at $1/yr of the Expansion facility to JCHS. The Agreement provides for the following fundraising milestones: 1) pre-design and planning phase expenses within 90 days from the execution of the Agreement, 2) design phase expenses within 12 months from the completion of the planning phase, 3) 20% of construction phase expenses within 12 months of design approval, 4) 60% of construction phase expenses within 24 months of design approval, and 5) 100% of construction phase expenses within 36 months of design approval. Failure to achieve any milestone funding requirements will result in termination of the Agreement unless the County approves an extension. The Expansion will proceed in phases and each phase will commence upon County receipt of approval from JCHS and the required funding for the next phase. The County will procure all services required for the Expansion pursuant to County standard procurement practices. In consideration for JCHS’s donation of funds for this Expansion, which will be designed to County standards and become a County-owned asset, County is waiving its staff charges associated with the Development Agreement and will assume ongoing maintenance and capital renewal/replacement responsibility for the Expansion identical to the responsibilities that the County has at other County-owned and Health Department operated clinics. The Health Department strongly supports this item and believes this to be an important partnership to provide the ideal delivery model for developing a continuum of care for patients waiting for insurance approval, who may not currently qualify for care or who may intermittently qualify for care.

B.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS (Cont’d)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) a Purchase and Sale Agreement with AMIkids, Inc., to acquire a 1 acre out parcel within the County’s Bert Winters Park, in unincorporated Juno Beach  for $1,000,000;

 

B) a Memorandum of Agreement; and

 

C) a Budget Transfer of $1,005,347 within the $50 Million General Obligation Waterfront Access Bond from reserves to the Bert Winters Park AMIkids, Inc. land acquisition project.

 

SUMMARY: AMIkids, Inc., recently closed their school for troubled youths formerly known as the Palm Beach Marine Institute, located inside the County’s Bert Winters Park and directly on the intra-coastal waterway. The 1 acre site contains a multi-building facility with two classroom wings and two front office sections totaling 6,575 square feet. In June 2012, AMIkids, Inc. obtained an appraisal from Callaway & Price, Inc., which valued the property at $1,200,000.  Staff obtained an additional appraisal from Anderson & Carr, Inc., which valued the property at $1,215,000.  The average of both appraisals is $1,207,500. AMIkids has been marketing the property for $1,500,000.  Staff has negotiated a price of $1,000,000.  Acquisition of this property will remove a potentially conflicting use, provide additional water frontage on the Intracoastal and provide space within the buildings for rowing clubs and other park programs.  Staff will complete the due diligence process, including an environmental audit prior to closing. The County will be responsible for recording fees and title insurance expenses estimated to be a total of $5,347.  A Memorandum of Agreement will be recorded to provide public notice of the County’s rights under this Agreement. The Budget Transfer will establish a project expense budget and move $1,005,347 from the Waterfront Access Bond reserves to purchase the 1 acre AMIkids site. The Agreement for Purchase and Sale must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

 

 

C.        FIRE RESCUE

 

1.         REVISED BACKUP: Staff recommends motion to approve and ratify: the Collective Bargaining Agreement between Palm Beach County and the Professional Firefighters/Paramedics of Palm Beach County, Local 2928, IAFF, Inc., for the period October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2015.  SUMMARY: On December 2, 2008, the Board approved a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)    with the Professional Firefighters/Paramedics of Palm Beach County, Local 2928, IAFF, Inc. (R2008-2254) for the period October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2011.  The County continued to operate under the terms and conditions of the expired agreement as the parties negotiated the terms and conditions of a new bargaining agreement.  This new agreement was ratified by the Union       membership on April 3, 2013 and has no fiscal impact on previous fiscal years.  The three-year cumulative fiscal impact amounts to a savings of $2.6 million and includes across-the-board            increases as follows:

 

         FY 2013         October 1, 2012                    0%

         FY 2014         October 1, 2013                    0%

D.        PARKS & RECREATION

 

1.         DELETED: Staff recommends motion to authorize: staff to seek proposals to construct and operate a culturally authentic Japanese Inn (Ryokan) at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Summary:  Recently the Parks and Recreation Department  was contacted by a not-for-profit children focused charity, Medical Missions for Children (“MMC”), regarding their desire to lease 14 acres in Morikami Park to construct and operate a five-star Japanese Inn and Spa.  Morikami Park encompasses 170 acres west of Jog Road in southern Palm Beach County and first opened in 1977. In 1993, a new Museum opened as the only museum in the United States dedicated exclusively to Japanese culture.  Over the past 35 years, various master plans for the Morikami Park, Museum and Gardens have been produced with future elements that include additional lakes, gardens, exhibits, artisan village, and a Japanese Inn.  The proposal from MMC includes the construction and operation of a five-star Inn and Spa on 14 acres within Morikami Park.  The project is proposed to be constructed in proximity to and with connectivity to the Museum and Gardens, and include co-promotion of Morikami events, festivals, and wedding packages.  MMC would pay the County annual ground lease payments and property taxes on its proposed multi-million dollar site improvements.  The lease of up to 14 acres within Morikami Park for a Japanese Inn has the support of the Morikami, Inc. Board of Trustees.  After a review of the proposal from MMC and further consultation with the County Attorney’s Office, it was determined that the County should solicit proposals from interested development groups on this project. Board approval is requested to develop an RFP for the construction and development of a traditional and culturally designed Japanese Inn within Morikami Park. District 5 (HF)
