motion to approve the following FY 2014 Year-End Budget Amendments and
Transfers:
A) Budget Amendment of $5,000 in the General Fund to recognize additional
reimbursable expenses from the Housing Finance Authority and transfer $151,896
within the General Fund to reallocate budget between departments;
B) Budget Amendment of $3,800 in the E-911 Wire Line Fund to increase the

E) Budget Amendment of $7,250 in the $35.0M NAV 08 CP, PBSO Mobile Data to
increase the transfer to close out the fund;
F) Budget Amendment of $7,250 in the Capital Outlay Fund to recognize
transfer from the $35.0M NAV 08 CP, PBSO Mobile Data Fund and increase
reserves;
G) Budget Amendment of $154,900 in the Abacoa Impact Fee Account to
recognize revenue and establish a transfer to close out the fund; and
H) Budget Amendment of $1,070,197 in the Abacoa Trust Sub Account to
recognize the transfer and Increase reserves for projects.
SUMMARY: These
budget amendments are necessary to properly allocate budget for FY 2014. A) Actual
indirect cost for the Housing and Finance Authority cost center exceeded the
budget due to the allocation of ISS Enterprise charges which were previously
allocated to the Department of Economic Sustainability. Expenses are offset by an increase to revenue
(reimbursed expenses) from the Housing and Finance Authority. The reallocation
of $151,896 is necessary to cover personnel costs, specifically retirement and
health insurance, for five departments.
Due to a variance between actual rates and budgeted rates, departments
with no lapsed salaries overspent their budgets. The Commissioners’ budgets are
also being adjusted to cover the variance between budgeted and actual
expenditures. There is sufficient
funding in the Security and Access Division of Facilities Development and
Operations to cover these transfers. B,C,D) The E-911 wire line and wireless funds were
established in 2004. Due to changes in
the 911 statutes a new fund was established to account for both the wire line
and wireless fees. However, the wire line
and wireless funds were kept active to carryover the allowable 20% of unspent
moneys for capital improvements. These
funds are now being closed out and the balance transferred to a new capital
fund to streamline the process and more efficiently manage the funds available
for capital expenditures. E,F) This
amendment in the Sheriff’s Mobile Data Capital Fund recognizes additional interest
revenue and statutory reserves therefore increasing the amount of the transfer
to close out the fund. G,H) Per the agreement between the County, Abacoa
Development, and the Northern Palm Beach Control Improvement District, the
Abacoa Impact Fee Fund was used to reimburse the cost of eligible road
construction. All roads have been
constructed and payments made so the remaining balance is being transferred to
the Abacoa Trust Sub Account for County projects required under the agreement. Countywide

of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration
pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 270.11; and
B) approve
two County Deeds in favor
of the Village of Palm Springs.
SUMMARY: The
Village of Palm Springs (Village) requested the annexation of County owned
properties located north of Lakewood Road and west of Kirk Road. One of the properties was conveyed to the
County by Warranty Deed in 1960 for a public road, street, park, or for other
public purposes. This property is
approximately 26 feet wide and 276 feet long, consists of approximately 7,176
square feet (.16 acres), and remains unimproved. The other property was purchased by the
County in 1976 (R76-866) for $103.98 for future right-of-way purposes. This property is approximately 15 feet wide
and 120 feet long, consists of approximately 1,836 square feet (.04 acres), and
also remains unimproved except for the northernmost area of the property which
was incorporated into Gardenia Avenue.
The Village committed to assume ownership, maintenance responsibility
and liability for these properties in exchange for the County voluntarily
annexing each property into the Village. The Board of County Commissioners
consented to the annexation (R2014-1099) on July 23, 2014, and the Village
Council approved the annexation on July 24, 2014. These two properties serve no
present or future County purpose and have assessed values of $297 and $270,
respectively. The County will retain
mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section
270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. These conveyances must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5

SUMMARY: The
Florida Department of Education on behalf of the Division of Blind Services has
occupied 825 SF of space at the Palm Beach County Judicial Center located at
205 North Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach under Lease Agreement dated June 22,
2004 (R2004-1438), as amended, for the operation of Don’s Coffee Spot. The Lease expired on September 30,

requested the continued use of the premises and the use of a storage closet
located adjacent to the premises which expands the current leased premises by
96 SF. Don’s Coffee Spot provides a

public. The term of this Lease Agreement is for two years retroactively commencing
on October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2016, with four extension options of

B) Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreement
with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (Commission)
(R2014-1043) related to the proposed Public Shooting Park.
SUMMARY: In 2013, the County sold 1,896 acres of the
Mecca Farms property to the SFWMD subject to SFWMD’s agreement to comply with
County bond limitations and with the understanding that the SFWMD would convey
150 acres in the northwest corner of the property to the Commission for use as
a Public Shooting Park. SFWMD and the
Commission are ready to close on the 150 acres.
This Amendment and Partial Release releases the 150 acre Shooting Park
property from the Memorandum of Agreement which was recorded against the Mecca
Farms property to provide public notice of the continuing obligations of SFWMD
to the County, including compliance with bond limitations, Seminole Pratt
Whitney right-of-way repurchase option and access and drainage for the existing
Water Utilities building. Those obligations do not involve the Commission, and
the Commission requires that the 150 acres be released prior to their closing
with SFWMD. On July 22, 2014, the
Board approved the Interlocal Agreement with the Commission addressing the
development and operation of the Shooting Park.
The agreement assumed that the Commission would utilize County Staff and
contracting capabilities to obtain the necessary zoning approvals. The
Commission instead finds that it may be more practical and beneficial to keep
its own design team fully intact during the zoning approval process and the
Commission requests that the County continue to assume financial responsibility
for zoning fees and related expenses.
County Staff supports the request as it imposes no more cost burden upon
the County than is already established within the Agreement and budgeted by the
County while allowing County Staff to focus on County projects and priorities.
Other than the change identified above, all other terms remain materially the
same. (PREM) Countywide/District 1 (HJF)

Agreement provides $150,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
allocated by the Board of County Commissioners on June 3, 2014 (Agenda Item No.
3I-3) to RBCRA. These funds will be
utilized for architectural and engineering costs associated with preparation of
construction plans for the Riviera Beach Public Market (Market). The Market which will be located on Avenue C
between East 12th and 13th Streets in Riviera Beach is a
component of RBCRA’s overall Riviera Beach Marina Village. The Market project entails the new construction
of a 48,000 square foot, two-story building that will
house ground-floor stalls for vendors of fresh foods, local and organic
products, and second-floor shops and studio space for local artisans and
craftsmen. It is anticipated that 59 businesses
will operate within the Market. The businesses will be both newly-established
businesses and existing businesses expanding and relocating operations. If the Market is not constructed, RBCRA will
be required to repay the CDBG funds to the County. The Public Market project is projected to
create 284 construction jobs, 120 permanent jobs, and have a five year economic
sustainability impact of $51,000,000. These are Federal CDBG grant funds

Summary: Palm Beach County in partnership with the Research Park at Florida
Atlantic University (RP at FAU) has submitted a grant application to EDA for a
Science and Research Park Development Grant for the purpose of conducting a
feasibility study on the development of a science and research park in northern
Palm Beach County. The
development of a second park in northern Palm Beach County to foster the growth
of life sciences and related industries would enhance and complement the
existing infrastructure FARDA operates in Boca Raton, and would build upon the
biotech cluster anchored in North County by the Scripps and Max Planck
institutes. The park would have ties with Florida Atlantic University and its
medical school, and would participate in the existing collaboration of RP at
FAU with Palm Beach State College and the School District in life science and
biotechnology programs including the K-20 STEM education program, to ensure
development of a trained workforce. A feasibility study will provide data
demonstrating the demand, resources, marketing and a timeline that will help to
shape the project planning process for a research park in northern Palm Beach
County. Although there was no match required in the Notice of Funding
Availability, community public and private organizations have pledged $400,000
of in-kind support to leverage the $290,000 grant application. (DES

2) approve
Work Authorization No. 14 to Johnson-Davis, Inc., under the Water Utilities
Department (WUD) Continuing Construction Contract (R2013-0550) in the amount of
$81,606.65.
Summary:
Petitions in favor of the
installation of a potable water main have been provided by five of six property
owners in the Ben Eden Lane and Lynnwood Court project area. The project will
serve six residential properties currently on private wells. Individual
assessments of $13,270.78 per parcel are based on 100% of the total project
cost. The assessment may be paid over 20 years with equal annual payments of
principal and 5½% interest, in the amount of $8,939.02. The total assessable
cost is $79,624.68 and includes the costs of surveying, design, drafting,
permitting, construction, inspection, administration, and construction
contingency. Palm Beach County is contributing the difference between the
assessable cost and the work authorization to improve the existing water system
in the area. This project will be constructed utilizing a Work Authorization
under the WUD Continuing Construction Contract with Johnson-Davis, Inc.
(R2013-0550). The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal
established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The contract with
Johnson-Davis, Inc. provides for SBE participation of 20.96%. This
Authorization includes 17.52% overall participation. The cumulative SBE

Revitalization for an amount not to exceed $8,500 for the purchase and
installation of playground equipment at Lake Worth West Park; and

national non-profit organization that focuses on designing and constructing
playgrounds for use by children living in socio-economically challenged
communities. Funding
from the Lake Worth West Portable Classroom Account will be used to assist in
the funding of the KaBOOM! park project. KaBOOM!
will be providing an amount not to exceed $76,500
towards the construction and purchase of the playground equipment, which is 90%
of the total cost for the project. The County will fund $8,500 towards the
purchase of the playground equipment, which is 10% of the total project
costs. KaBOOM! is requiring the County pay the
$8,500 as an advance payment, prior to the County receiving the playground
equipment, due to KaBOOM!’s time restrictions.
An advance payment is permitted pursuant to the Palm Beach County
Administrative Code, Section 305.02, which allows the County to make an advance
payment for expenses deemed necessary for County business. In addition to
the $8,500, the County will incur additional expenses for conducting two soil
tests, removing playground equipment currently located at Lake Worth West Park,
site preparation, obtaining all required permits and future maintenance of the
playground. These additional expenses are currently budgeted in Parks and
Recreation’s budget. Palm Beach County will provide indemnification to
