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)

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)

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. Countywide

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%. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide

Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County, Inc. (Habitat);
B) a Second Mortgage and Note Modification
Agreement with Habitat; and
C) an Amended and Restated Mortgage Subordination
Agreement in favor of Palm Beach County Housing Finance Authority (HFA).
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

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

Kiril Zahariev contracted with the County over the past nine years as a

Lakeside Medical Center, effective March 8, 2013, to extend the term of the Agreement for an additional one
year period through March 7, 2014, in an amount not-to- exceed $159,868 during the one year extension period. 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

B) authorize
Palm Tran’s Executive
Director and Assistant Executive Director, through the County Administrator, to

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

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)

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

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. (FDO Admin) Countywide (HJF)

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

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

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%

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)
