2.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Boynton Beach to provide grant project funding of $24,268 for night vision and forensic crime lab equipment for the period February 18, 2014, through April 30, 2014. SUMMARY: The County was awarded $217,720 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the City of Miami Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) 2012 Grant. The City of Boynton Beach will be awarded $24,268 for its Police Department, of which $12,317 is being allocated for night vision equipment while $11,951 is being allocated towards forensic crime lab equipment. The Urban Area  Working Group decreased the original $44,471 requested and provided $24,268 instead to purchase law enforcement equipment to protect Florida’s citizens, visitors and critical infrastructure in line with the Miami UASI’s strategy. Both of these projects have been approved by the City of Miami UAWG as the regional fiscal agent’s approval authority.

Z.         RISK MANAGEMENT

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  renewal of the County’s excess property, liability, and workers’ compensation  insurance program for the period April 1, 2014, through March 31, 2015 purchased through the County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc., under Contract No. 10-042R/LJ, for a total cost not-to-exceed $10,886,276. SUMMARY: The projected 2014-2015 renewal figures reflect a stable insurance market for property and liability, with an exceptionally hard market for excess workers’ compensation. As a result, staff recommends purchasing statutory/uncapped excess coverage for workers’ compensation above the self-insured retention (SIR) of $2.5M for each occurrence, eliminating the lesser SIR of $2M for subsequent claims filed.  Property and liability coverage levels remain the same as the expiring policy and the County’s total insured value currently stands at $2.4 billion dollars. The total not-to-exceed cost of $10,886,276 represents a decrease of approximately 6% over the expiring program. The cost of the program is also impacted by a variety of state mandated surcharges and assessments. Sufficient funds are budgeted in FY 2014 for this coverage. Countywide (TKF)

AA.      PALM TRAN

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve the filing of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Grant Application FL-95-X067 for capital funds allocated to Palm Beach County in the amount of $3,000,000; and

 

B) approve the FTA Master Agreement FTA MA(20) dated October 1, 2013; and

 

C) authorize the Palm Tran Executive Director or Assistant Executive Director through the County Administrator, on behalf of the Board, to execute and transmit electronically the Board’s approval of the Master Agreement and the grant award.

 

Summary: On September 20, 2012, the Metropolitan Planning Organization adopted the 2014-2018 Transportation Improvement Program which identifies transportation priorities for the County. Included in these priorities is the procurement of hybrid buses for Palm Tran to replace older diesel buses. In support of this initiative, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) approved $3,000,000 for the procurement of the buses, and those funds are now available for grant award through the FTA. The grant requires a 20% local match which will be covered by toll revenue credits already approved by FDOT; therefore, the project budget will be covered at 100% with no Ad-Valorum funds required.  The FTA requires that the County approve the Master Agreement on an annual basis. Approval of the Master Agreement confirms the County’s intent to comply with the terms and conditions identified in FTA MA(20) dated October 1, 2013.  Countywide (DR)

BB.     SHERIFF

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $247,384 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055(5) provides that the seizing agency shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime prevention, safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or complex investigations, providing additional equipment or expertise, purchasing automated external defibrillators, and providing matching grant funds. F.S. 932.7055(5) also requires that no less than 15% of the LETF’s previous year’s revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2014 estimated donation requirement is $65,729. The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The year-to-date transfer for all donations to outside organizations after approval of this item is $912,427. The funds requested here are to aid PBSO and qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the Sheriff.  The current State LETF balance is $1,208,339. Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $960,955.  The PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055.  Below is a table indicating the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per respective organization or agency.  No new positions are needed and no additional County funds are required.  Countywide (PGE)

4.         REGULAR AGENDA

 

 

A.        COMMUNITY SERVICES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve a revised scope of services to be included in the FY 2015 Behavioral Health Services request for proposal (RFP) under the Financially Assisted Agencies Program;

 

B) authorize the County Administrator to execute a database sharing and use agreement with the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network for tracking of substance abuse and mental health (behavioral health) services; and

 

C) approve a phased approach to eliminate the New and/or Continuing Initiatives and Innovative Programs category by FY 2017.

 

Summary:  The Department of Community Services has conducted public forums, attended and received input from the OK2TALK series, and worked extensively with Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN), the managing entity for substance abuse and mental health services for the State of Florida, Department of Children and Families.  For FY 2015 there are three service categories open for the Request for Proposal (RFP) process for program and services provided by community-based organizations under the Financially Assisted Agencies Program.  These service categories are Special Needs, Substance Abuse and Mental Health.  A change to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health service categories is being recommended by the Citizen’s Advisory Committee on Health & Human Services and department staff.  The proposed change is to combine the two service categories into a single new service category to be titled Behavioral Health services.  This will address the needs identified during the process to: recognize co-occurring disorders, increase care coordination across services and categories and better utilize data to support and improve client services, programming and resource development. Staff is also recommending that the County Administrator be authorized to enter into a data sharing agreement with SEFBHN and that the Board phase out the New and/or Continuing Initiatives and Innovative Programs service category by FY 2017.  Programs/Providers can initiate new and innovative programs during the RFP process within the existing service categories, and the four agencies that currently receive funding in this service category will be advised to apply within one of the other appropriate categories as the category opens for competitive RFP.
