1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (EECCN120020) No. 0003 [R2012-0659] with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) allowing the Office of Equal Opportunity to receive revenue in the total amount of $93,450 as payment for processing and resolving employment discrimination complaints; and

 

B) an upward Budget Amendment of $11,450 in the General Fund to adjust the budget to the actual Award/Contract.

 

Summary: Execution of this contract is required so that the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) can receive payment for processing and resolving complaints of employment discrimination pursuant to the Worksharing Agreement with the EEOC.  Modification No. 0003 is for FY 2013 - 2014 and is in the amount of $93,450 ($90,350-charge processing; $500-Intake Services, $1,600-attendance at EEOC sponsored annual training); and $1,000-FEPA engagement funding. EEOC Charge Resolution Contracts for all Fair Employment Practices Agencies nationwide provide payment at a rate of $650 per charge.  OEO’s contract is for a total of 139 charges.  Attached to the Modification No. 0003 is the FY 2014 Extension of Worksharing Agreement signed by the County Administrator on September 26, 2013.  On November 26, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved staff’s recommendation that future Worksharing Agreements be executed by the County Administrator, or his designee, because of the recurring time constraints involved in this process.

The Bond, with the rider, was executed and recorded in the Official Records of Palm Beach County, Book/Page 26806/1893-1899 on May 22, 2014.

Summary: Based on the results of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and subsequent Record of Decision (ROD) approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Airfield Improvement Project (AIP) at PBIA, many elements of the overall project were not approved due to the lack of need based on the reduction in aircraft operations during the study period; as such, the design efforts were minimized and a large portion of the design funding is not needed and must be returned to the FDOT.  On October 16, 2007 (R2007-1791), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted a resolution approving a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) with the FDOT in the amount of $4,142,000 or 50% of the eligible project costs, whichever is less, for the Environmental Impact Statement and Design Runway Extension at PBIA.  On March 15, 2011 (R2011-0376), the BCC adopted a resolution approving SJPA Number 1 amending the original project description to extend Runway 9R/27L (10R/28L) Environmental & Design and Golfview Infrastructure Planning & Design at PBIA, with no increase in funding. On July 19, 2011 (R2011-1020), the BCC adopted a resolution approving SJPA Number 2 modifying the participation percentages due to Federal participation in the project.

D) authorize the County Administrator or his designee, ISS Director, to approve and execute Task Orders associated with these services, up to a maximum dollar value of $50,000 per Task Order.

 

SUMMARY: The Kravis Center changed its server hosting and file storage location from the Northwest Regional Data Center in Tallahassee to Lee County and requested ISS assistance in providing the required connection (or “hand-off”) between the County network and Lee County via the FLR network.  Due to the advent of the hurricane season, the effective termination date of the contract is May 31, 2014 and new services are effective June 1, 2014.  Because receipt of final payment is required prior to contract termination, and the new hand-off services required revision of our existing network services contract, we were unable to submit either of these changes to the Board until the present date.  The Kravis Center has paid in full for all work performed under contract R2011-0546 through May 31, 2014. The revised fee structure for existing network services will not be used for billing until August 1, 2014. District 7 (PFK)

B) an Agreement with Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and SFRTA for the "Back Office" software integration that will allow for the monitoring of transfers and processing of payments to the appropriate parties using the EASY Card system for fares and transfers between the four transit systems.

 

Summary: On June 18, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the filing of a Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) Grant Application (R2013-0786) in support of Palm Tran’s participation in the development of a regional fare interoperability system. The Agreement with Broward County will allow Palm Tran and BCT to engage in a two-phase project. The initial phase will be a pilot program to equip and test a limited number of bus fare boxes to accept EASY Cards currently being used by Miami-Dade County and SFRTA riders. The second phase will allow both agencies to expand and cover the entire transit fleet. Broward County will be the lead in administering the Request for Proposals (RFP) and developing the contract to obtain the software, hardware and related services needed to adapt the fare boxes, with the participation and approval of Palm Tran.  Palm Tran and BCT will each be separately and solely responsible for their respective costs.  Palm Tran's costs will be 100% funded with FTA grant funds.  The Agreement for the “Back Office” integration provides for the transfer of revenue collected from EASY Cards to the appropriate parties using the EASY Card system for fares and transfers between the four transit systems. Miami-Dade County utilizes the EASY Card system, a contactless smartcard system, which allows for electronic payment of transit fares. Miami-Dade County has successfully operated the “Back Office” with SFRTA since 2010 allowing for the transfer of payments among their transit systems. Approval of this Agreement will expand the program to include Palm Beach County and Broward County. On June 24, 2014, Broward County approved the Transit Fare Interoperability Agreement and the “Back Office” Agreement, which was previously approved by SFRTA on May 23, 2014.  Miami-Dade’s staff is recommending approval at their scheduled meeting on October 7, 2014.

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

 

 

A.        Staff recommends motion to:

 

1) approve the Application of Saint Andrew's School of Boca Raton, Inc. for the issuance of the County's up to $36,000,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Saint Andrew's School of Boca Raton, Inc. Project), Series 2014 (the "Bonds");

 

2) conduct a Tax Equity & Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) public hearing concerning the proposed issuance of the Bonds; and

 

3) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing the issuance of the County's Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Saint Andrew's School of Boca Raton, Inc. Project), Series 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding $36,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds to make a loan to Saint Andrew's School of Boca Raton, Inc. (the "Borrower") to provide funds to refinance the County's Variable Rate Demand Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Saint Andrew's School of Boca Raton, Inc. Project) Series 2007, potentially pay the cost of termination of an interest rate swap related to the Series 2007 Bonds and pay the costs of issuing the Bonds; authorizing the execution of a Financing Agreement; awarding the sale of the Bonds by a negotiated sale; authorizing officials of the County to take certain action in connection with the issuance of the Bonds; making certain other covenants and agreements in connection with the issuance of the Bonds; and providing an effective date.

 

Summary: The Borrower offers lower, middle and upper school education at their 81 acre campus located at 3900 Jog Road in Boca Raton.  The Borrower has applied for the issuance of an Industrial Development Revenue Bond by the County in an amount not to exceed $36,000,000.  Bond proceeds will be used to refinance the County's Variable Rate Demand Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Saint Andrew's School of Boca Raton, Inc. Project) Series 2007, and potentially pay the cost of termination of an interest rate swap related to the Series 2007 Bonds. The 2007 Bonds were issued to refinance earlier bonds issued by the County and to finance capital assets for the Borrower's facilities.  Prior to the issuance of any portion of the Bonds that will be tax-exempt, the Internal Revenue Code requires that the County hold a TEFRA public hearing.  The Economic Impact Analysis demonstrates a positive impact of $54.5 Million over five years. The Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived from the Borrower. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bond. District 5 4(PFK)

B.        Staff recommends motion to:

 

1) adopt a Resolution approving the Palm Beach County Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2014-2015; and

 

2) authorize the Mayor, or her designee, to execute Standard Forms 424 and Certifications for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive Fiscal Year 2014-2015 formula grant funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs.

 

Summary: On April 15, 2014 (Agenda Item 5C-2), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved programs and funding allocations for the CDBG and HOME Programs for Fiscal Year 2014-2015. At the time, staff had not received recommendations from the Palm Beach County (PBC) Homeless and Housing Alliance for the ESG Program.  On May 5, 2014, they met and recommended funding to eight agencies. A list of their funding recommendations is provided as Attachment 5 (to the Agenda Item).  In compliance with HUD’s regulations at 24 CFR Part 91, the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) has prepared the Action Plan (AP) for Fiscal Year 2014-2015. The proposed Fiscal Year 2014-2015 AP is consistent with BCC direction on April 15, 2014, and incorporates funding recommendations by the PBC Homeless and Housing Alliance.  A summary of the draft AP and a Notice of Public Hearing were published on June 21, 2014.  Two public meetings to obtain citizen input were held on June 25 and 26, 2014, one located in each the eastern and western regions of the County.  This funding is projected to create 329 jobs and have a five year Economic Sustainability Impact of $53,500,000. The ESG required 100% local match will be provided by the seven ESG-funded agencies, the Division of Human Services, and the Department of Economic Sustainability. The HOME required local match ($371,875) will be provided from the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program.  CDBG funds require no local match. (Strategic Planning) Countywide (TKF)

 

 

C.        Staff recommends motion to:

 

1) conduct a public hearing for approval of the use of the Uniform Method of collecting non-ad valorem special assessments provided for in Chapter 197, Florida Statutes pursuant to the Notice of Intent adopted by Resolution 97-2152 and Resolution 2011-1833; and

 

2) adopt the non-ad valorem special assessment roll and specify the unit of measurement and amount of the assessment.

 

SUMMARY: On December 16, 1997, the Board approved Resolution 97-2152, and on November 15, 2011, the Board approved Resolution 2011-1833, expressing the intent of Palm Beach County to use the Uniform Method of collecting non-ad valorem special assessments.  This method has been utilized successfully since 1998 for the collection of water and street improvement project special assessments. The Uniform Method in Resolution 97-2152 provides for inclusion of water and street improvement project special assessments on the tax bill.  The Uniform Method in Resolution 2011-1833 provides for the abatement of nuisance conditions.  A public hearing is required to implement this collection method for new special assessment projects to be included on the 2014 tax bill.

D.        Staff recommends motion to approve: the issuance of a "Special Secondary Service" Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) with G4S Secure Solutions (USA), Inc. d/b/a “G4S” to provide Advanced Life Support Service (ALS) first response, non-transport services to the gated community of Hunters Run. Summary: G4S currently provides private security service to the gated community of Hunters Run. The residents of Hunters Run wish to have G4S provide ALS first response, non-transport services as part of their security services. The Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management has reviewed the application and recommends approval of a "Special Secondary Service Provider - Non-Transport" COPCN to be issued to G4S for operations restricted to the confines of the community of Hunters Run for the period July 22, 2014 until G4S contractual agreement with Hunters Run is terminated. The City of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue is the Primary COPCN holder and has signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" with G4S to provide such services in their respective zone. District 4 (PGE)

 

 

E.        Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 15, Article III, codifying Ordinance No 90-1, as amended by Ordinance No. 07-042, The Palm Beach County Ordinance for Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation; and adopting a new Palm Beach County Ordinance for Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation; providing for purpose; providing for definitions; providing for powers and duties of the Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity; providing for filing of complaints; providing for notice of complaint process; providing for determination of reasonable cause; providing for conciliation; providing for enforcement; providing for administrative remedies and other relief; providing for enforcement by private persons; providing for unlawful discriminatory practice in public accommodations and housing; providing for limitations and exceptions; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for savings clause; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and providing for an effective date.  SUMMARY: On July 1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners held a preliminary reading of this Ordinance and authorized advertising for public hearing. The current Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation Ordinance was last amended in 2007. Due to the procedural and substantive changes made to the ordinance with the purpose of bringing it into substantial compliance with the Federal Fair Housing Act and the County’s policy concerning Advisory Boards such as the Fair Housing Board, repealing and replacing the Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation Ordinance in its entirety is more efficient than amending it piecemeal. The League of Cities has no opposition to the proposed ordinance. The Fair Housing Board supports the proposed ordinance in its present form. Countywide (DRO)

F.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 18, Article II of the Palm Beach County Code (Ordinance No. 2006-012, amended by Ordinance No. 2011-033); relating to Sexual Offender and Sexual Predator Residence Prohibition, to be known as “the Sexual Offender and Sexual Predator Residence Prohibition Ordinance of Palm Beach County, Florida”; amending Section 18-34 (Sexual Offender and Sexual Predator Residence Prohibition; Exceptions); 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 for an effective date. SUMMARY: On July 1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners held a preliminary reading of this Ordinance and authorized advertising for public hearing. The State of Florida sexual offender and sexual predator residence prohibition laws preclude sexual offenders and sexual predators from establishing a permanent or temporary residence within one thousand (1000) feet from specified locations where children regularly congregate. The current County Ordinance provides for a more restrictive distance, prohibiting sexual offenders and sexual predators from establishing a permanent or temporary residence within twenty-five hundred (2500) feet from certain defined areas where children regularly congregate.  The proposed amendment reduces the number of feet to 1000 and eliminates a designated public school bus stop from the list of specified locations, making the Ordinance consistent with Florida law. Additionally, the proposed amendment is responsive to current federal and state law evolving in other jurisdictions that suggests a County’s imposition of residency prohibitions on sexual offenders and sexual predators may not be more restrictive than the residency prohibitions mandated by the State.  It is anticipated that the League of Cities will have no opposition to the proposed Ordinance amendment, as this Ordinance is applicable only in the unincorporated areas of the County. Unincorporated (PGE)

 

G.        Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 20, Nuisances, Article III, Abatement of Nuisances, codifying Ordinance No. 90-12, amended by Ordinance Nos. 93-16, 95-64, 97-9 and 2002-023, known as the “Nuisance Abatement Ordinance” created pursuant to Section 893.138 Florida Statutes, establishing the Nuisance Abatement Board of Palm Beach County; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: On July 1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners held a preliminary reading of this Ordinance and authorized advertising for public hearing. The Nuisance Abatement Ordinance was enacted in 1990 to establish the “Nuisance Abatement Board of Palm Beach County” (NAB) to abate drug-related nuisances occurring on premises throughout the County. The Ordinance was amended in 1997 to apply only in the unincorporated areas of the County. Since its creation, the NAB has convened less than five times to hear complaints and evidence regarding “drug-related nuisances.” The Sheriff does not object to the dissolution of the NAB. Repealing the Nuisance Abatement Ordinance will not prohibit the County or any citizen from proceeding against a public nuisance by any other means, including, but not limited to, seeking injunctive relief under Section 60.05 of the Florida Statutes. The League of Cities has no opposition to the proposed Ordinance repeal. Unincorporated (PGE)

H.        Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution confirming the special assessment of $9,124.09 for a water service improvement project (Project), $10,968.40 for connection fees and $2,850 for tie-in fees per lot in the Imperial Woods Subdivision located in unincorporated Palm Beach County (County).  SUMMARY:  Adoption of this Resolution will allow the County to assess each property owner on a per lot basis for the Project, plus the connection and tie-in fees, if applicable.  The Town of Jupiter (Town) will provide the water service and has agreed to advance the funds for design and permits for the Project and will also fund the construction. The assessments will be passed on to the Town once collected.  The County has received a positive response from a majority of the property owners on all streets, indicating their willingness to be assessed for the Project. District 1 (MRE)

 

 

I.          Staff recommends motion to:

 

1) approve Road Program Findings of Fact (per Article 12.M.B.3 of the Unified Land Development Code) with a majority affirmative vote that the deletion of four construction projects will not result in any link or intersection on the road network operating at greater than the Adopted level of service, and no development projects are phased to this construction. The four projects that have met this criteria are the deletion of construction of Community Drive and Military Trail; Ellison Wilson Road, south of Juno Isles Boulevard to north of Ascot Road; Jog Road, Glades Road to Yamato Road; and Indiantown Road, Jupiter Farms Road to west of Florida’s Turnpike; and

 

2) adopt an Ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 85-40, as amended, establishing an amended Five Year Road Program (Program); providing for title; purpose; adoption of revised program and revised list of projects contained in Exhibit “A” (to the Agenda Item); implementation of the program; modification of the program; funding of other roadway improvements; interpretation of exhibit; repeal of laws in conflict; severability; inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and effective date.

 

SUMMARY: In accordance with Article 12.M.B.3 of the Unified Land Development Code, and prior to the deletion of any construction project from Palm Beach County’s (County) Program, the Board of County Commissioner’s (Board) must determine that the Findings of Fact have been made.  See Attachment “1” to the Agenda Item. Since the development and adoption of the County’s Program on December 17, 2013, the progress and evolution of current and near term projects has continued to be monitored. Traffic counts, costs and revenues have been updated. Revisions are being proposed to modify the Program to reflect this updated information. A mid-year ordinance amendment with a preliminary reading and a Public Hearing is required in order to accomplish this. On July 1, 2014, the Board approved this amendment on preliminary reading and authorized advertisement for today’s Public Hearing for final adoption. Countywide (MRE)

A.        ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff requests Board direction on:  preparation of an ordinance authorizing hospitals in the County to place a lien on the proceeds of settlements or judgments in order to receive payment for services rendered to a patient. Summary: On November 5, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to research a possible lien law (ordinance) that would assist local hospitals in the collection of bill payments through placement of liens on the proceeds of legal settlements or judgments in personal injury matters.  Staff has conducted research and gathered ordinances from other jurisdictions that have addressed this issue. Additionally, meetings have been held with hospital administrators, trial attorneys, and Health Care District of Palm Beach County representatives, and some correspondence has been received and reviewed. Based on the information gathered to date and legal research by the County Attorney’s Office, staff has concluded that it is possible for the County to adopt a hospital lien ordinance.  A current Hillsborough County ordinance has been identified as a possible model.  It is expected; however, based on the preliminary meetings and correspondence mentioned above, that there will be varying levels of support and some opposition from affected parties to a countywide ordinance on this subject.  Issues to be addressed include the rate at which hospitals will get paid for medical care, measures to protect the injured individuals, and compensation for attorney’s fees. If staff is directed to proceed with the preparation of an ordinance, additional outreach will be conducted to ensure that concerns of all interested parties are considered.  The countywide ordinance must be presented to the League of Cities for review and comment prior to first reading. A preliminary draft ordinance based on the Hillsborough County model has been prepared by the County Attorney’s Office and is attached to this item.  The proposed draft also extends authority to the Health Care District and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue to place liens. Countywide (TKF)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, recommending approval of Project Opaleye, a company authorized to do business in the State of Florida, as a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) business pursuant to s.288.106, Florida Statutes; providing for local financial support for the Qualified Target Industry Tax Program not to exceed $36,000; and

 

B) conceptually approve an Economic Development Incentive for Project Opaleye in the amount of $36,000 in the form of a Job Growth Incentive Grant (JGI) as a portion of the local match for a State QTI Grant.

 

SUMMARY: Project Opaleye is a corporate headquarters relocation project that currently employs approximately 115 people throughout the United States.  The company plans to make a $9 Million capital investment to purchase and renovate an existing building in Palm Beach Gardens.  The company will relocate or hire 60 employees over a three year period at an average annual wage of $75,000, excluding benefits, and will retain 40 existing jobs.  The company will be required to maintain the new and retained jobs for a period of five years. It is anticipated that the State of Florida will provide $360,000 in the form of a Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund which includes a required 20% local match of $72,000 which will be split equally between the County ($36,000) and the City of Palm Beach Gardens ($36,000).  The JGI Grant will be secured by a Letter of Credit, Bond, Corporate Guarantee or equivalent.  The company will be required to enter into a formal agreement memorializing their commitments and establishing criteria for funding distribution.  At such time the company name will be disclosed. The five year local economic impact is estimated to be $110.9 Million. Funding for the Job Growth Incentive Grant will come from General Fund Contingency Reserves. District 1 (DW)

4.         Staff requests board direction:  regarding establishing employment diversity policy or criteria for entities doing business with the County. SUMMARY: Mayor Taylor initiated this item at the May 20, Board meeting.  Resolution R92-13, as amended by R2012-0197 and R2014-0113, states the Board’s policy that the County “shall not conduct business with nor appropriate funds for any organization that practices discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, sex, age, familial status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic information or disability”. County contracts currently include this requirement. Observing nondiscriminatory policies does not necessarily achieve diversity in hiring. The County’s employment policy is in accordance with applicable law and establishes principles to encourage equal employment opportunity and diversity.  On May 29, the Board received a legal opinion from the County Attorney that mandatory employment diversity goals for competitive contracts might not be legally sustainable.  Among options are: 1) maintaining current policy language; or 2) requiring contractors to prepare if necessary, and submit, evidence of their non-discrimination policies when submitting bids or RFP responses. For non-competitive contracts such as Business Development Board and tourism agencies, the Board of County Commissioners may consider an organization’s consistency with County policies in determining whether to award contracts and could require proof of the existence of such non-discrimination policies prior to entering into contracts.

5.         REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing a modification of the Convention Center Hotel Lease with CityPlace Hotel, LLC; and providing for an effective date; and

 

B) approve Second Amendment to Hotel Lease with CityPlace Hotel, LLC.

 

Summary:  On October 30, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Agreements to facilitate the construction and operation of the Convention Center Hotel. On June 4, 2013, the BCC approved an Amendment to the Hotel Lease (R2013-0706). This Amendment increases the hotel land 0.05 acres to allow sufficient land for amenities. Countywide (HF)

 

B.        COMMUNITY SERVICES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) allocations for funding for the Behavioral Health, Special Needs/Developmental Disability, Economic Stability/Poverty, Senior Services, Domestic Abuse/Sheltering, Homelessness, Continuing Initiatives, and Non-competitive service categories under the Financially Assisted Agencies (FAA) Program for the period of October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2015, in a total amount not to exceed $11,290,068; and

 

B) allocations for funding for Youth Violence/Diversion Programs and the Summer Camp Scholarship Program for the period of October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2015, in a total amount not to exceed $968,118.

 

Summary:  This item provides the recommended FY 2015 funding allocations for the Financially Assisted Agencies Program and the Youth Violence/Diversion programs being transferred to the newly created Youth Services Department. The FAA recommendations in the Behavioral Services and Special Needs/Developmental Disability categories reflect the results of a request for proposals process initiated in April of this year.  Allocations in the other FAA categories are based on prior year’s funding as this is a renewal year in the three-year cycle for those categories.  The Youth Violence/Diversion programs are also renewals that are being transferred to the new Youth Services Department.  The total amount of funding being allocated in this item is $12,258,186 which is unchanged from the current year program funding for all FAA service categories.  This amount is included in the proposed FY 2015 budget and is subject to final budget approval by the Board of County Commissioners.  Countywide (TKF)

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve the Application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to reallocate the balance of Section 108 funds from the Countywide Loan Pool (Note No. B-08-UC-12-0004) in the amount of $1,820,000 to a new program to be known as the Palm Beach County Business Loan Program; and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to sign the Application to HUD to reallocate these funds to the Palm Beach County Business Loan Program.

 

Summary: The proposed Application will reallocate the balance of funds from Section 108 Loan Pool (Note No. B-08-UC-12-0004) to a new program eligible under HUD guidelines.  To date, there have been loans to 16 borrowers totaling $11,520,000 from this loan pool.  In total, the various loan pools have funded over $23 Million to 30 different borrowers generating a total public and private investment of $83.9 Million and commitments to create 985 jobs.  The new program will allow the Department of Economic Sustainability to receive final approval on projects from HUD’s Miami Field office without submission to the HUD Washington D.C. office. This will result in reduced processing time for loans allowing borrowers to access capital to rapidly satisfy critical needs facing their business. The new program will follow existing Section 108 Loan Program Guidelines for underwriting. Countywide (DW)

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt a Resolution authorizing a continuing reduction in the rental rate and finding that the Fifth Amendment (R2002-0829) to Governmental Center Lease Agreement with LJL Food Management, Inc., d/b/a Tina’s Café is in the best interest of the County; and

 

B) approve a Fifth Amendment to Governmental Center Lease Agreement with Tina’s Café.

 

SUMMARY:  LJL Food Management, Inc., d/b/a Tina’s Café has been the food service provider operating in Suite 110 of the Governmental Center Parking Garage since 2005. In response to the economic downturn and Tina’s Café’s poor payment history, rent was reduced by 20% in 2009 and by another 50% in 2010 for a period of two years. The Third Amendment, approved by the Board on December 18, 2012 (R2012-1941), documented the reduced rental rate of $16,601/yr until April 30, 2013, at which time the Board requested a further review of the rent.  On June 4, 2013, the Board approved a Fourth Amendment (R2013-0711) which continued the reduced half-rent rate to April 30, 2014.  Tina’s Café continues to be delinquent with payment of rent and as of June, 2014, five months’ rent (February to June) is owed.  Staff met with Tina’s to discuss the rent delinquencies and suggested a further reduction.  Tina’s believes they will be able to bring the rent current and proposes to keep the rent at the current reduced rate and pay the back rent in one additional installment per month.  This Fifth Amendment provides for the continuance of the same $16,601/yr reduced half-rent rate retroactively from May 1, 2014, until the Lease expiration on January 31, 2019 without annual increases.

A) a Deposit Receipt and Contract For Sale and Purchase with Patricia Robinette and Nancy C. Baker, for the sale of a +0.13 acre parcel of land together with an 840 SF manufactured home and a 64 SF shed at 7133 43rd Trail North, Lot 1269, Riviera Beach, within the Palm Lake Cooperative, Inc., an adult retirement community located in unincorporated Palm Beach County for $9,121; and

 

B) a County Deed in favor of Patricia Robinette and Nancy C. Baker without mineral and petroleum rights reservation.

 

SUMMARY:  In October 2012, the County acquired by Tax Deed a +0.13 acre parcel of land together with an 840 SF manufactured home and a 64 SF shed (Property) at 7133 43rd Trail North, Lot 1269, Riviera Beach, within the Palm Lake Cooperative, Inc. (Palm Lake), an active adult (55+) retirement community located in unincorporated Palm Beach County. This Property has been deemed surplus as it serves no County purpose.  The Property Appraiser’s Office assessed the Property at $35,772 for 2013.  Staff obtained an appraisal in June 2013 that valued the Property at $32,000. The Property was advertised for sale and an Invitation For Bid was issued in April 2014.  Staff received 33 inquiries regarding the property but only two people attended the pre-bid meeting. One responsive bid was received from Patricia Robinette and Nancy C. Baker in the amount of $9,121. There are currently 22 homes for sale within Palm Lake and Staff believes the all cash bid requirement and lengthy paperwork associated with the bid process was a factor in limiting response to the bid. Staff recommends acceptance of the bid as it will lessen the County’s potential liability and maintenance responsibilities and return the Property to the tax roll.  Patricia Robinette and Nancy C. Baker will pay all closing costs and any other costs associated with this sale.  As the Property is located within a residential community, the County will not retain mineral and petroleum rights. This sale must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). Closing is to occur within sixty days of Board approval. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

A) approve a Parking Easement Agreement with Transit Village, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (TV); and

 

B) receive and file a status report on the Transit Village Project.

 

SUMMARY: The County entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale with TV for the sale of 5.8 acres at the corner of Banyan Boulevard and Clearwater Drive, commonly referred to as the Wedge for $3,600,000.  Appraisals valued the property at between $350,000 and negative $5,000,000. The Purchase and Sale Agreement requires TV to provide the County 25 parking spaces within TV’s proposed parking garage for use by Palm Tran employees. This Parking Easement Agreement establishes the County’s rights to review the design of the garage and approve the location of the County’s parking spaces and circulation and access within the garage as required by the Purchase and Sale Agreement.  At closing, TV will grant the County a perpetual easement for use of the 25 County parking spaces without charge. For the record, TV’s parking agreement with the South Florida Regional Transit Authority (SFRTA) has the SFRTA agreeing to pay $3,000,000 for the structured parking spaces as well as annual operating charges.  The appraisal assumed the SFRTA spaces would be provided without charge to SFRTA, but charging for these spaces is not prohibited by the Purchase and Sale Agreement.  The appraisal has been updated to reflect these payments by the SFRTA and is still a negative value.  An update on the status of various governmental approvals, particularly the FTA/NEPA milestone, is also provided.  The FTA approval letter contained a condition requiring updated appraisals within six months of closing. This is a very complicated transaction with multiple layers of required governmental approvals. TV has been actively pursuing the required approvals. The next milestone, submission of a site plan into the City’s approval process, and the City’s reaction thereto, will provide the clearest picture as to the viability of the project. TV has represented that it will be submitting its application in the next few months. (PREM) District 7 (HJF)

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Modification of Deed Restrictions on 10 acres of land donated by the County to the Elizabeth Faulk Foundation. SUMMARY:  In 1979, the County conveyed approximately 10 acres of land located on the West side of Boca Rio Road just north of Southwest 8th Street to the Elizabeth Faulk Foundation. The County Deed restricted use of the property to habilitative purposes of the mentally ill; required that the Foundation remain a non-profit corporation; prohibited conveyance or encumbrance of the property without the County’s consent; and provided that in the event these restrictions were violated, the property would revert to the County. The Elizabeth Faulk Foundation, Inc. was organized in 1971 as a Florida not-for-profit corporation with the charitable purpose of “providing free psychological and consultation services to the needy.” The Foundation constructed a 13,000 SF building on roughly four acres of the property in which it operates its Faulk Center for Counseling. In 2013, the trustees of the Foundation determined that the Foundation needed to expand its scope of services to offering assisted living and memory care services to the elderly. To that end, the Foundation created Faulk Senior Services, LLC (FSS), a wholly owned and controlled entity, in order to effect the development and operation of the Faulk Senior Residence, which is programmed to include a 96 unit/117 bed Assisted Care Living Facility (ACLF) providing Alzheimer’s and memory care services. The Foundation has entered into a Development Agreement with Mainsail Healthcare Development, LLC to develop the ACLF on the vacant property. The project will be financed through issuance of tax exempt revenue bonds. Once constructed, the ACLF will be managed and operated by MJM Associates, a related entity of Mainsail. Operation of the ACLF will be governed and controlled by FSS as the owner of the property and ACLF, and the profit from operations will accrue to the benefit of FSS/Foundation. The Modification of Deed Restrictions releases the County’s reverter; restricts use of the property to: i) mental health counseling and rehabilitation of the mentally ill; and ii) the development, use and operation of a senior living facility with assisted living units accommodating approximately 117 assisted living beds providing memory care services; allows for conveyance of the property to FSS; allows FSS to mortgage the property to secure the bonds; and in the event of foreclosure, expands the allowable use to include a congregate living facility as defined by the ULDC.

E.        PUBLIC SAFETY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners, Palm Beach County, Florida repealing and replacing Resolution No. R2003-2066; amending the funding sources, and expanding the uses of Victims of Crime Emergency Support Fund. SUMMARY:  Palm Beach County Victims of Crime Emergency Support Fund (the “Victim Fund”), has historically been financed from numerous sources, including, private donations and lawfully mandated fines and penalties. In 2003, ad valorem tax support was added as an additional revenue source; however, due to the economic downturn, the ad valorem support ended in 2008.  In 2013, a new diversion program operated by the Office of the State Attorney for Driving Under the Influence offenders reinstated a revenue stream to the Victim Fund.  While the primary purpose of the fund is for emergency financial assistance to victims of crime, surviving family members and their families, reinstatement of prior use of the fund to include staff training and development and awareness/recognition events is being requested.

F.         WATER UTILITIES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on August 19, 2014 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code Chapter 27, Article X, Water Utilities Tampering; amending Section 27-206, Penalties for Service Account Holders; 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 May 18, 2010, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the Tampering Ordinance (2010-014) allowing the Water Utilities Department (Department) to assess fines for tampering with or making unauthorized connections to the Department’s utility system.  The Tampering Ordinance (2010-014) as it exists requires for the first offense and all subsequent offenses be subject to $400 fines and any administrative, testing, inspection, and court costs.  However, the Department's experience since the enactment of the Tampering Ordinance (2010-014) has been that many of the first offenses have not been either deliberate or egregious.  The proposed amendment will reduce the fine for a first offense for service account holders for tampering and unauthorized connections, and also allow the Department to impose costs for damages to the utility system or assets on the service account holder. These penalties are more conducive to the level of tampering and unauthorized connections for service account holders. The following fines shall be imposed on a service account holder: $50 for a first occurrence and $400 for any subsequent occurrences. The failure to pay any fees in accordance with this section may be subject to all delinquent account procedures of the utility, including the filing of a lien against any property for which a service account exists.

G.        COUNTY ATTORNEY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida; approving, for the purposes of section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, the issuance by the Capital Trust Agency of its Senior Housing Revenue Bonds (Faulk Senior Residence Project), Series 2014, in one or more series  pursuant to a plan of finance, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000, for the purpose of financing of the costs of the Project; affirming the purpose and function of Elizabeth H. Faulk Foundation, Inc.; approving its use of the site on which the Senior Living Facility is to be located; approving a Modification of Deed Restrictions; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: On February 20, 2014, The Capital Trust Agency (the "Issuer") adopted a preliminary resolution expressing its intent to approve the issuance of the Bonds in one or more series in an amount not exceeding $30,000,000 (the "Bonds") and loan the proceeds of the Bonds to Elizabeth H. Faulk Foundation, Inc., a Florida not for profit corporation, or one or more affiliates (the "Borrower") to finance the acquisition, construction, development, installation and equipping of an approximately 96-unit 116-bed senior living facility comprised of approximately 44 assisted living units and 52 memory care units for the elderly intended to be known as "Faulk Senior Residence," to be located on approximately five acres comprising the western ½ of the ten acre campus known as Faulk Center located at 22455 Boca Rio Road, Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, and expected to be owned by the Borrower and managed initially by MJM Associates, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the "Project"). In order to finance the costs of the Project from the proceeds of the Bonds on a tax-exempt basis, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the Board of County Commissioners (“the Board”) after a Public Hearing is held pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  In addition, in order for the Issuer to finance the costs of the Project with the proceeds of Bonds within the County, it is necessary for the Issuer to obtain the County's approval to do so in accordance with Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Interlocal Act").  On June 19, 2014, the Issuer's Executive Director, as hearing officer, conducted a Public Hearing as required by the Code, after publication of a notice in the Sun-Sentinel. The Resolution also approves the form of a Modification of Deed Restrictions which allows the property to be used for a Memory Care and Alzheimer's Senior Living Facility and permits the Property to be mortgaged to secure the proposed Bonds. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. District 5 (PFK)
