PAGE             ITEM

 

22                    5A-3                REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to continue: present defense of the IG funding lawsuit, and continue LOGER method of calculating and financing the IG Office. SUMMARY:  In follow-up to BCC discussion on May 7, 2013,  this  item provides the opportunity to review current BCC direction which is the staff recommendation or consider two alternatives: continuing defense but directing staff to implement 1/4% contract fee as of October 1, 2013, or directing staff to try to negotiate a settlement of the lawsuit on the city desired basis which would implement the 1/4% contract fee via County ordinance but make it a choice of the cities to use the audit services of the IG, with the cities independently contracting and paying for those services if desired.  General audit services cannot legally be paid for by the contract fee. Countywide (DN) (Admin)

 

 

23                    5C-1                REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to conceptually approve:  a sale of the approximately 1750 1,920 acres of the Mecca property to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for $26M and subject to SFWMD agreeing that reserving the balance of approximately 150 acres will be provided to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission for the development and operation of a shooting range.  SUMMARY:  In August of 2012, the Board conceptually approved terms upon which the County would negotiate the sale of 1,920 acre Mecca Farms property to SFWMD.  Based upon the property appraiser’s assessed value of $49M, SFWMD and County Staff recommended a target price of $54M in total compensation, subject to appraisals. Subsequently, both parties obtained appraisals of the Mecca property with SFWMD’s appraisal coming in at $21M and the County’s appraisal at $26M for an average of $23.5M.  While the appraisals are an indication of current market value, Staff does not believe that the appraisals reflect the price the County could reasonably expect to receive when the market fully recovers and do not account for the significant cost savings and other benefits the SFWMD will achieve utilizing the Mecca property to accomplish its objectives of capturing and storing freshwater, restoring flows to the Loxahatchee River and providing flood protection for the Acreage. However, there are significant limitations upon the County’s ability to sell the property for another use and the price the County would receive today. Clearly there are substantial environmental and public safety benefits from the use of the Mecca property for the SFWMD’s proposed project. Staff has repeatedly lowered its price objective, most recently to $30M.  In response to Staff’s placing this item on the agenda for discussion with the Board, the SFWMD Governing Board at its May 9th meeting approved a counter offer of $26M based upon the higher of the two appraisals. While a price of $26M is less than what Staff believes the County could ultimately sell the property for, a sale to SFWMD will avoid years of controversy associated with trying to sell the property for development, will provide current revenue to the County and facilitates the SFWMD’s environmental restoration and flood protection objectives. In a companion agenda item (5C-2), Staff is recommending the donation of approximately 150 acres be provided to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a State owned shooting range. (PREM) Districts 1 & 6/Countywide (HJF) (FDO)

 

24                    5C-2                REVISED MOTION & TITLE: Staff recommends motion to conceptually approve: require, as part of the purchase and sale agreement with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), that SFWMD provide the donation of approximately 150 acres of land within the County owned Mecca Property adjacent to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area (WMA) South Entrance for the design, construction and operation of a Public Shooting Park (Park). (FDO)

D.        COUNTY ATTORNEY (Cont’d)

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement (R2010-1324) with the law firm of Edwards Wildman Palmer LLP (formerly known as Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP) (“Attorney”), to provide bond counsel and related legal services for the not to exceed $13.5 Million grant for the Max Planck Project.  SUMMARY:  The Attorney was selected as bond counsel for the above financing by the County Financing Committee at the April 12, 2013 meeting.  This Amendment No. 3 confirms that selection by amending the existing Agreement for bond counsel and related services between Palm Beach County and the Attorney.  Payment for the legal services in connection with the bond issuance will be as provided for in the Agreement. This Amendment also extends the Agreement’s term through September 30, 2016 as provided for in the Agreement. Countywide (PFK)

 

 

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a settlement in the amount of $50,000, for full satisfaction of four Code Enforcement Liens and eight Water Utility Liens in the foreclosure action styled Private Capital Group, LLC, v. Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC, et al., Case No. 502008CA038017XXXXMBAO.  SUMMARY:  The County holds four Code Enforcement Liens in the total amount of $503,397, and eight Water Utility Liens in the total amount of $14,092, as of May 20, 2013, against properties owned by Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC (“Bayview”).  Bayview inadvertently obtained title to these properties by issuance of a Clerk’s Certificate of Title in an earlier foreclosure action in which it was the Plaintiff.  The mortgage foreclosed by Bayview in that case contained the legal description of three properties. Bayview did not intend to foreclose the mortgage on the two properties that are the subject of this settlement and have filed a lawsuit to reform the mortgage and vacate the Clerk’s Certificate of Title as to these properties.  Due to what appears to be a patent mistake on the part of Bayview in foreclosing on these two properties that are dilapidated, uninhabitable, and on which Bayview was a junior mortgagee, County Staff recommends a financial settlement in the amount of $50,000 as to all outstanding County Liens, which represents 100% collection of the Water Utility Liens and 14% of the Code Enforcement Liens.  In addition, and as a part of the settlement, Bayview has entered into a sales contract with a third party builder to fully rehabilitate the subject properties into work force housing, which is needed in the area.  The builder has a proven history of rehabilitating property in the area into functional work force housing.  Based on the combination of these factors, Staff recommends approval of this settlement. District 3 (PM)

 

 

E.        COMMUNITY SERVICES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Amendment No. 02 to Contract for Provision of Services with The Lord’s Place, Inc.

Summary:  A budget transfer was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on March 12, 2013 (Agenda Item 4F), to provide gap funding to The Lord’s Place, Inc.  These funds are to maintain current staff and continue job training activities for the Senator Philip D. Lewis Center (Lewis Center).  The intent is to fund the break in service only, between the end of the previous Workforce Alliance contract and the start of a new contract.

F.         AIRPORTS

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Second Amendment to Advertising Concession Agreement (Amendment) with In-Ter-Space Services, Inc., d/b/a Clear Channel Airports (Clear Channel), providing for the extension of the term through March 31, 2019, and for the purchase of 28 power charging stations for installation at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA).  SUMMARY:  On February 24, 2009, the Board approved the Advertising Concession Agreement (R2009-0280) (Agreement) with Clear Channel for the operation of an advertising concession in the Palm Beach International Airport.   Clear Channel is a Pennsylvania corporation with its principal place of business in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  The Agreement is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2014, unless renewed. The Agreement provides for one five-year option to renew. The Amendment will renew the Agreement through March 31, 2019.  Due to the growing number of mobile electronic devices, such as cell phones, laptops and tablets, being used by passengers at PBIA, there is a need to provide convenient locations to recharge the devices.  Clear Channel has agreed to purchase 28 power charging stations for installation at PBIA, which will provide passengers the ability to charge their mobile electronic devices at no charge.  The power charging stations will also provide new locations for the display of advertising at PBIA, generating additional advertising revenues.

H.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 3 to the contract with Tan Construction             Services, Inc. for the improvements to Palm Tran West County Maintenance and Operations facility in the amount of $3,870.41. SUMMARY:  The original scope of the project consists of site improvements to the existing Belle Glade facility that includes new closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, fencing, sliding automatic gate, minor access control equipment, and supporting infrastructure.  These renovations enhance operational security for the facility. The original contract value was $191,770 and was approved by the Department Director.  Two subsequent change orders for permit reimbursement and adding three additional cameras increased the contract value to $196,789.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Economic Development Incentive Grant Agreement with Florida South Division, LLC (FSD) for an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption in the amount of $1.7 Million over a seven year period.  Summary:  On October 18, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for FSD in the amount of $1.7 Million over a seven year period.  FSD is a Florida corporation whose function is to be the distribution center and regional headquarters serving ALDI, Inc. stores in South Florida.  The Company will construct a 650,000 sf facility in Royal Palm Beach which represents a $55 Million capital investment.  The Company will create 95 full-time equivalent jobs at an average annual wage of $46,100 within three years after receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy. The conceptual approval required 100 jobs; however, Staff is recommending approval of the 95 jobs based on the fact that the capital investment has been increased from $43 Million to $55 Million.  Prior to receipt of the exemption, FSD must file an application with the Property Appraiser’s Office for its determination that the project meets the requirements under Florida Statute 196.012 for an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption.  If the project meets the requirements, an Ordinance granting the exemption will be presented to the BCC as required by State statute. The Department of Economic Sustainability estimates that the project will have a $112.5 Million return on our economic investment. District 6 (DW)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida approving the Workforce Alliance, Inc. Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Budget in the amount of $17,092,203 for its programs under Public Law 105-220 enacted by Congress effective August 1998 which act is known as the Workforce Investment Act.  Summary:  The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) of Palm Beach County has designated Workforce Alliance as the Workforce Development Board to design, coordinate, and direct the local workforce development system for Palm Beach County. Workforce Alliance (WA) receives Federal funding through the State Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO).  Funds are received by the DEO from the U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.  These are formula funds which are based on the Federal budget and the local population statistics.  In 2012, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 7023, also known as the Workforce Accountability Act. This Bill, which strengthens the accountability and transparency of Regional Workforce Boards, requires the BCC to approve the WA budget by June of each year. Workforce Alliance, Inc.’s budget for Fiscal Year 2013-2014 is $17,092,203. In Fiscal Year 2012-2013, its budget was $21,718,968. Countywide (TKF)

3.         REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to continue: present defense of the Inspector General (IG) funding lawsuit, and continue LOGER method of calculating and financing the IG Office. SUMMARY:  In follow-up to BCC discussion on May 7, 2013,  this  item provides the opportunity to review current BCC direction which is the staff recommendation or consider two alternatives: continuing defense but directing staff to implement 1/4% contract fee as of October 1, 2013, or directing staff to try to negotiate a settlement of the lawsuit on the city desired basis which would implement the 1/4% contract fee via County ordinance but make it a choice of the cities to use the audit services of the IG, with the cities independently contracting and paying for those services if desired.  General audit services cannot legally be paid for by the contract fee.

1.         REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to conceptually approve:  a sale of the approximately 1750 1,920 acres of the Mecca property to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for $26M and subject to SFWMD agreeing that reserving the balance of approximately 150 acres will be provided to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission for the development and operation of a shooting range.  SUMMARY:  In August of 2012, the Board conceptually approved terms upon which the County would negotiate the sale of 1,920 acre Mecca Farms property to SFWMD.  Based upon the property appraiser’s assessed value of $49M, SFWMD and County Staff recommended a target price of $54M in total compensation, subject to appraisals. Subsequently, both parties obtained appraisals of the Mecca property with SFWMD’s appraisal coming in at $21M and the County’s appraisal at $26M for an average of $23.5M.  While the appraisals are an indication of current market value, Staff does not believe that the appraisals reflect the price the County could reasonably expect to receive when the market fully recovers and do not account for the significant cost savings and other benefits the SFWMD will achieve utilizing the Mecca property to accomplish its objectives of capturing and storing freshwater, restoring flows to the Loxahatchee River and providing flood protection for the Acreage. However, there are significant limitations upon the County’s ability to sell the property for another use and the price the County would receive today. Clearly there are substantial environmental and public safety benefits from the use of the Mecca property for the SFWMD’s proposed project. Staff has repeatedly lowered its price objective, most recently to $30M.  In response to Staff’s placing this item on the agenda for discussion with the Board, the SFWMD Governing Board at its May 9th meeting approved a counter offer of $26M based upon the higher of the two appraisals. While a price of $26M is less than what Staff believes the County could ultimately sell the property for, a sale to SFWMD will avoid years of controversy associated with trying to sell the property for development, will provide current revenue to the County and facilitates the SFWMD’s environmental restoration and flood protection objectives. In a companion agenda item (5C-2), Staff is recommending the donation of approximately 150 acres be provided to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a State owned shooting range.

2.         REVISED MOTION & TITLE: Staff recommends motion to conceptually approve: require, as part of the purchase and sale agreement with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), that SFWMD provide the donation of approximately 150 acres of land within the County owned Mecca Property adjacent to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area (WMA) South Entrance for the design, construction and operation of a Public Shooting Park (Park). SUMMARY:  The recreational needs of the shooting public have been increasing over time and safe gun handling is in the best interest of the community. The development of this Park has been a longstanding goal of the County since the 1970’s. Approximately 10 years ago, the FWC actively joined the County as a partner in planning for the development of a public shooting park with an additional mission to bolster hunter safety and related educational programming in Palm Beach County. In 2007, the Board accepted the donation of approximately 95 acres from South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) at 20 Mile Bend and programmed $12,100,000 in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Phase 1 development.  FWC is now proposing to develop a public shooting park in four phases on 150 acres of donated County-owned land in the Northwest corner of Mecca.  FWC will also assume all costs associated with the development, operation and maintenance of the Park. The FWC facility proposed at Mecca will; 1) provide significantly more facilities and features than were proposed at 20 Mile Bend including ranges built to Olympic specifications; 2) allow for completion of Phase 1 in two years and all phases in five - six years as opposed to an uncertain and indefinite timeframe at 20 Mile Bend; and 3) provide a non-County funding source for the development and operation of the Park.  FWC’s funding source for the design, construction and operation of the Park is Hunter Education Funds (aka Pittman Robertson funds) provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Division of Federal Aid.  As a result, this proposal will relieve the County of all fiscal impact and operational involvement in the Park, but still allow the County to receive the full recreational and economic development benefits. The estimated value added economic benefit of the Park resulting from its routine use is estimated at $6,748,000 annually.  In addition, there are a variety of shooting sport related events that the Palm Beach Sports Commission believes it could attract to Palm Beach County that would enhance economic impact and stimulate bed tax revenues. Due to the longer duration of these shooting tournaments when compared to other sports, the economic benefit of a typical national and international event could range between $5,000,000 -$12,000,000 per event.

3.         Staff recommends motion to authorize: County Administrator to prepare a needs analysis and feasibility study of developing an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Park in Palm Beach County at the County’s 20 Mile Bend Property.  SUMMARY: The number of ATV owners in Palm Beach and surrounding counties continues to increase despite the lack of legal, safe areas in which to ride.  Riding in areas illegally results in personal injuries and damage to personal property and the environment.  Providing a safe, legal site for this highly popular recreational activity will reduce injuries, save environmentally sensitive areas from damage, resolve other conflicts and provide a boost to the local economy. Due to the limited number of ATV parks in the State of Florida, it is also possible that the Park will result in a source of local economic development as well as the potential for motorized sports tournaments and tourism. With the relocation of the public shooting park to the Mecca Property, the County-owned property at 20 Mile Bend would become available and be suitable for development of an ATV Park with little or no capital cost to the County. It is anticipated that the operation of the ATV Park would be funded through user fees and the operation, outsourced. The preparation of a needs analysis will provide the County with the information necessary to identify the potential usage, combination of facilities and capital cost estimate for the development of the park. The feasibility study will include but not be limited to, addressing; 1) environmental impacts, 2) economic impacts, and 3) a variety of other operational and risk topics. Planning and development grants are available through the T. Mark Schmidt Off-Highway Recreation Grant Program (State) and the Recreational Trails Program (Federal).  The outcome of the needs analysis and feasibility study would be presented to the Board at a later date for consideration as to whether the County would proceed with an RFP.

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) termination of Request for Proposals 2011-102-RCB (RFP) for lease of the Mecca property for agricultural farming purposes; and

 

B) payment of $15,000 to Pope Farms, Inc. for expenses incurred by Pope in connection with responding to and negotiating terms of Lease pursuant to Board direction the RFP.

 

SUMMARY: In December of 2011, Staff issued an RFP to lease the Mecca property for agricultural farming purposes.  On March 6, 2012, the Board selected the proposal submitted by Pope Farms, Inc. as being the most responsive and provided direction to Staff and the selected respondent as to terms which needed to be negotiated and addressed in the proposed lease.  Staff negotiated and prepared the proposed lease with Pope Farms as well as an agenda item (collectively Item) recommending approval on the May 15, 2012 BCC agenda. However, in the days before the meeting, and at the request of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), the Item was pulled             from the agenda to allow time for County and SFWMD Staff to explore a sale of the property to SFWMD.  As the RFP has been outstanding for over a year while the County continues to negotiate with SFWMD, Staff recommends that the RFP be terminated.  Pope Farms claims it incurred roughly $23,000 of expenses in connection with the RFP.  While the RFP states that the County will have no liability for any expenses incurred prior to award by respondents to the RFP, this is a somewhat unusual situation where Staff was recommending an award of the lease after Board selection of Pope Farms’ proposal, and the lease was not awarded through no fault of Pope Farms. Staff feels that $15,000 is a reasonable reimbursement amount and that compensating Pope Farms is fair under the circumstances and will help alleviate negative perceptions of the County’s process related to future RFPs for the disposition or lease of County lands.

5.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in 0.41 acres of surplus property to Ingleby Farms, LLC (Ingleby Farms) for $20,365.99, with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 125.35 (2);

 

B) approve a Deposit Receipt and Contract For Sale and Purchase with Ingleby Farms; and

 

C) approve a County Deed in favor of Ingleby Farms.

 

SUMMARY:  Ingleby Farms requested the conveyance of County-owned unimproved surplus property located west of Flying Cow Road, between Deer Path Lane and Norris Road in Rustic Ranches.  The 0.41 acre property is approximately 30’ wide and 600’ in length contains 18,023 sq. ft. and is a portion of a 0.91 acre parcel acquired by Tax Deed in June 2001.  Due to the narrow width it cannot be developed as a stand alone parcel and is only of use to the adjoining owner. It is located within the Village of Wellington’s municipal boundaries and has an assessed value of $17,541.25.  Ingleby Farms, the adjacent owner, has proposed a purchase price of $20,365.99.  Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 125.35(2), the Board may effect a private sale of the parcel upon finding that the property is of insufficient size and shape to be issued a building permit for any type of development to be constructed on such property.  The subject property has been declared surplus and serves no present or future County purpose.  Staff recommends the sale of this parcel as it will: i) lessen the County’s potential liability and maintenance responsibilities; and ii) return the parcel to the tax roll.  The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. This sale must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve Change Order No. 2 to Contract No. 2012ERM02 (R2012-0907) for $2,636,306 with Arbor Tree and Land (ATL), to generate an additional 60,000 cubic yards of fill from the Fullerton Island Restoration Project necessary for completion of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) & County Wetland Mitigation Project (FDOT Project) with the contract time extended 310 days until June 1, 2014;

 

B) approve a Budget Transfer in the Natural Areas Fund from the completed Manatee Protection funded projects of $889,525 from the South Cove Project ($398,132) and the Jupiter Ridge Shoreline Restoration Project ($491,393), to the Fullerton Island Restoration Project;

 

C) adopt a Resolution authorizing the Clerk of the Board to disburse $500,000 from the Vessel Registration Fee Trust Fund for this project; and

 

D) approve a Budget Transfer in the Waterfront Access Bond Fund of $400,000 from Fullerton Island Park Improvements to the Fullerton Island Restoration Project.

 

SUMMARY: A Change Order of $2,636,306 to an original contract value of $4,431,641 with ATL will provide for an additional 60,000 cubic yards of fill to complete the FDOT Project currently under construction within the City of Lake Worth. The fill will come from the Fullerton Island Restoration Project, an existing spoil island in Jupiter being reconfigured into a seagrass lagoon. Accomplishing the fill removal of the Fullerton project by change order to the FDOT fill placement project accrues considerable cost and necessary time savings to the County. The beneficial re-use of spoil from the Fullerton Project will result in a cost savings to the County of approximately $724,300 as compared to the more typical method of upland disposal of the spoil material. And use of a Change Order allows for completion of the FDOT project within the contractual time frames of that project which otherwise would not be met. Costs for the additional work will be shared by FDOT, the Parks Waterfront Access Bond Fund, Vessel Registration, and the Manatee Program. The majority of the additional Change Order work utilizes barges and tugs with limited additional SBE opportunity which will reduce the contracted SBE participation for the contract from 17% to 11%.

A) First Amendment to Mortgage and Security Agreement and Modification of Promissory Note with Marina Clinton Associates, Ltd. (MCA);

 

B) First Amendment to Mortgage and Security Agreement and Modification of Promissory Note with MCA;

 

C) Subordination Agreement with MCA and Lancaster Pollard Mortgage Company in an amount not to exceed $11.9 Million;

 

D) Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or his designee, to execute the aforesaid documents and any other documents necessary to complete the transactions related to these documents; and

 

E) M Bay Associates, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, as the new General Partner of MCA.

 

Summary: On November 21, 2000, the County entered into a Loan Agreement (R2000-1932) with MCA which provided $291,950 in State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) funds to assist in the construction of Marina Bay Apartments, a 192 unit elderly multifamily affordable housing project in unincorporated Lantana.  The County secured this three percent (3%) cash flow dependent loan with a second mortgage which matures on April 30, 2030.  On July 12, 2005, the County entered into a Loan Agreement (R2005-1345) with MCA which provided $50,000 in SHIP funds for hurricane repairs at Marina Bay Apartments. The County secured this one percent (1%) cash flow dependent loan with a third mortgage which matures on April 30, 2021. MCA desires to refinance their first mortgage with a new first mortgage that will not exceed $11.9 Million.  The new first mortgage will mature on June 1, 2048, and it is a condition of that lender that the County’s two mortgages be subordinated to, and not mature before, the new first mortgage.  Accordingly, MCA is requesting that the County extend both of its mortgages to June 1, 2048, and execute the Subordination Agreement.  MCA will not know the exact amount it is refinancing until the time of closing and therefore cannot submit executed documents to the County for approval.  Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or his designee, to execute these documents after execution by MCA is requested in order to allow MCA to proceed with its refinancing.  MCA will obtain a new general partner at the time of the new first mortgage closing.  MCA is required under the County’s two mortgages to obtain the County’s approval of any transfer of interest of its general partner.  Staff has reviewed the credentials of M Bay Associates, LLC, MCA’s new general partner, and has no objection to the change.  The County will receive $113,099 in back interest payments as well as $55,688 to monitor the project as required by the State for the additional 18 year extension period that commences in 2030.
