PAGE             ITEM

 

42                    4G-1               ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: Contract for Provision of Services with Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc. (AAF), for a period not to exceed June 30, 2015, in an amount of $26,431, for emergency financial assistance to families at risk of homelessness. SUMMARY: In 2013, the Florida Legislature created the Homeless Prevention Grant program to provide emergency financial assistance to families facing the loss of their housing due to a financial crisis. In accordance with Section 420.624, Florida Statutes, the grant application must be submitted by the lead agency for the Continuum of Care. The Division of Human Services serves in this capacity for Palm Beach County. The funding is sub-contracted with AAF to provide financial assistance such as rental and utility assistance for 12 families. On April 1, 2014, the BCC delegated signature authority to the County Administrator to sign the contract for this grant award; however, subsequently The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) changed the contract number, grant award amount and grant ending date.  All funds must be expended no later than June 30, 2014. A report is due to DCF providing one-year follow up. DCF is requiring the grant be in force through the end of the reporting period. No County match funds are required.

Soon after the City Lease was executed, the current facility was constructed by TLP.  On December 13, 1988 (R88-2142D), the County entered into a Lease Agreement with TLP (County Lease) to lease the facility and has been providing Head Start services since January 1989.  On September 24, 2013, the Board determined the County would not apply for Federal grant funding to continue providing Head Start services and supported Lutheran Services Florida, Inc. (LSF), assuming the County’s role as principal grantee, in  partnership with the School Board of Palm Beach County and the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, in obtaining the grant award.  The City, TLP, County and LSF have determined that it is in the best interest for the City to enter into a new lease directly with LSF for the Head Start facility.  Accordingly, the City has notified TLP that the City Lease will be terminated on June 30, 2014.  The City and LSF are in negotiations to enter into a new lease for the continued operation of a Head Start facility in Pahokee that is expected to commence on July 1, 2014.  The County will leave the fire and intrusion alarm systems that were installed and these improvements will become the property of the City upon the termination of the Lease as provided for in the Lease.

(LSF), a Florida not-for-profit corporation, assuming the County’s role as principal grantee, in partnership with the School Board of Palm Beach County and the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, in obtaining the grant award.  The Lease provides for a thirty day cancellation notice, and cancellation of this Lease will save the County approximately $70,000 annually in maintenance costs.  The County will also leave the fire and intrusion alarm systems that were installed in the County’s portion of the Osborne Community Center which shall become the City’s property upon surrender of the premises.  LSF is currently negotiating a direct lease with the City and will be responsible for any charges imposed by the City for use of the Center.

E) authorize the Director of the Department of Environmental Resources Management to serve as Liaison Agent with FIND for these projects.

 

SUMMARY: The FIND grant application process involves two steps. County staff submitted initial grant proposals for reimbursement funding of $251,875 (Old Bridge Park Natural Area); $166,800 (Peanut Island Erosion Control & Artificial Reef Project); and $118,150 (Torry Island Reef Project) by the April 1, 2014 deadline.  However, the initial proposal remains incomplete until the BCC adopts a resolution for each of the three proposed projects.  FIND requires that the application be deemed complete by May 30, 2014; adoption of this agenda item will complete the County’s application.  The selection process is competitive.  If successful in receiving approval for funding, the deadline for spending the grant(s) will be September 2016 with the possibility of a one-year extension. The County’s (50%) matching share of up to $536,825 is anticipated from a combination of state grants, Pollution Recovery Trust, Vessel Registration, and Manatee Protection funds to be determined depending on the award amount.  Awards are expected to be announced in September 2014.  Districts 1, 6 & 7 (SF)

3.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, recommending approval of Project Palm Tree as a Qualified Defense Contractor and Space Flight Business pursuant to s.288.1045, Florida Statutes; providing for local financial support for the Qualified Defense and Space Contractor Program not to exceed $320,800; and providing for an effective date; and

 

B) conceptually approve an Economic Development Incentive Grant in an amount not to exceed $320,800.

 

SUMMARY:  Project Palm Tree is an engineering company with operations located in Palm Beach County.  The company is pursuing a U.S. Department of Defense business contract to support continuing operations at its local facilities, which directly affects at least one half of its local employees.  The State of Florida has identified Project Palm Tree as a qualified business under the State’s Qualified Defense and Space Contractor (QDSC) Tax Refund Program. The QDSC Program, authorized under s.288.1045, Florida Statutes, is intended to preserve and grow the State’s high technology employment base and give Florida a competitive edge as defense, homeland security or space business contractors acquire new contracts or subcontracts, and it provides incentives to businesses who create or retain jobs.  The State has determined that Project Palm Tree is eligible to receive up to $3.208 million under the QDSC program for the retention of 401 full-time jobs.  No new jobs will be created. The State’s incentive requires a 20 percent local match, which is to be provided by the County in the amount of $320,800, by the City of Riviera Beach in the amount of $160,400, and by the City of West Palm Beach in the amount of $160,400. Staff’s recommendation is based on the high number of jobs that could potentially be lost in a target industry if the company is unable to compete for additional defense contracts. The company will be required to retain its existing 401 full-time positions at an average annual salary of $84,900 for four years and to enter into a formal Agreement, approved by the Board of County Commissioners, memorializing their commitments and establishing criteria for funding distribution.  If the company is not awarded the new defense contract, no County funds will be distributed. The Regional Economic Model estimates that this project will have a local economic impact of $356 Million over a four year period. Funding for the Economic Development Incentive Grant will come from the General Fund Contingency Reserve.  District 7 (DW)

Summary:  Beginning with the Library System’s 2014 Summer Reading Program in June, and continuing for one year, children up to age eighteen can spend time reading in the library and get financial credit to pay overdue fines on their library cards (one Dewey book buck = 15 minutes).  If a replacement library card is needed, but the child has no money, they can read for one hour to pay for the card.  Financial credit would not apply to charges for lost or damaged materials.  Children cannot read to defray future fines.  Children without fines who wish to participate may read for one hour and redeem their Dewey book bucks for a library bag.

E.        OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) Budget Transfer in the amount of $9,689,545 from the Sheriff's Mobile Data Capital Project Fund (Fund 3058) while allowing sufficient funding for FY 2014;

 

B) Budget Transfer in the amount of $6,394,352 in the Sheriff's Mobile Data Debt Service Fund (Fund 2058) to reallocate funds for payment of debt service for FY 2014;

 

C) Budget Transfer in the amount of $435,193 in the Public Building Improvement Fund (Fund 3804) to reallocate funding for existing projects;

 

D) Budget Transfer in the amount of $400,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund (Fund 3900) to reallocate funding for existing capital projects;

 

E) Budget Transfer in the amount of $2,460,000 in the Information Technology Fund (Fund 3901) to reallocate funding for existing capital projects;

 

F) Budget Transfer in the amount of $9,689,545 in the General Fund (Fund 0001) to reallocate funding to various capital project and debt service funds and to recognize additional reserves.

 

SUMMARY: In January 2008, the County borrowed $35 million for the Sheriff's Mobile Data Project.  Due to a vendor change and the complexity of the project, only about two-thirds of the proceeds have been expended.  Bond counsel has advised that in order to comply with IRS spend-down expectations, the County should utilize the balance of the proceeds for existing capital projects and debt service so the remaining cash will be expended by the end of this fiscal year.  This series of budget transfers reallocates the remaining loan proceeds to other County capital projects/debt service and leaves $3.1 million in the Mobile Data capital fund to cover projected current year expenditures.  The $9.7 million being removed from the fund will be re-budgeted, as needed, annually during the budget process until a total of $35 million has been expended. Staff from OFMB and the Sheriff's Budget Division have worked cooperatively on this plan. The funds being added to General Fund reserves will be used to offset next year's revenue requirement.
