PAGE ITEM
28 5A-2 ADD-ON: Staff request Board direction: to implement the actions necessary
for Palm Beach County to terminate membership with Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council (TCRPC) and obtain membership with South Florida Regional
Planning Council (SFRPC). SUMMARY: On October 7, 2014, the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to continue moving forward with
reviewing the process of terminating membership in Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council (Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River) and joining
South Florida Regional Planning Council (Miami-Dade, Monroe and Broward
County). The Board discussed potential savings of $318,345 (if fees remain
constant) with the move to SFRPC and the numerous characteristics in common
between Palm Beach County and members of SFRPC. Staff met with Michael Busha,
Executive Director of TCRPC, Jim Murley, Executive Director of SFRPC, Ron Book,
Executive Director of Florida Regional Planning Councils Association (FRPCA), Rana
Brown of FRPCA and Richard Radcliff, Executive Director of the League of Cities
to begin the dialogue on next steps for transition to SFRPC. At this meeting,
staff was notified that the Board of Directors for the League of Cities voted
unanimously to oppose moving from TCRPC to SFRPC. They stated a number of
concerns should be addressed prior to a decision being made to transition to
SFRPC (see attachment C to the Agenda Item). The Director of Florida Regional
Planning Council Association thinks this change may have statewide implications
for the Association and stated this may be an appropriate
time to review boundaries of all Regional Planning Councils (RPCs) in the
State. The boundaries of the RPCs have not been reviewed in several decades. If
the Board directs staff to proceed with the transition, the Association is
willing to assist us in the process. It
is estimated to take approximately 18 months to complete the transition process,
which would require receiving the approval of the TCRPC, a resolution from each
Member Unit BOCC of TCRPC to terminate Palm Beach County as a member of TCRPC;
approval by SFRPC through an amended Interlocal Agreement, approval by each of
their Member Unit BCC and approval of changes to the RPC’s boundaries by the
Governor. Countywide (RB) (Admin)
31 6A-2 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to ratify: the following Palm Beach County League

G. OFFICE
OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the write-off of 197 uncollected non-sufficient
funds checks with a total face value of $23,565.83 plus County added-service
fees of $5,564.59 for a cumulative total of $29,130.42. SUMMARY: The Office of Financial Management and
Budget’s (OFMB) Collections Coordinator has reviewed the listings of
uncollected non-sufficient funds checks received by the Finance Department
during the fiscal years of 2010 through 2012 and has concluded that they should
be written off the County’s active accounts receivable ledger. All collections
efforts to recover these funds have been exhausted. The write-off of these
receivables to an uncollectible receivables database is not a forgiveness of
the debt and if the opportunity to collect on any of these checks should arise,
the County will take appropriate action to collect the amount due. Approval of this item will allow the Clerk
& Comptroller’s Office to remove these receivables from the active accounts
receivable ledger and transfer them to an uncollectible debts database. Countywide

4. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a
Resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in .21 acres of
surplus property to the City of Greenacres without charge and with reservation
of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration
pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 270.11; and
B) approve
a County Deed in favor of

SUMMARY: The City of Greenacres (City) has requested
the conveyance of County owned unimproved surplus property located north of

recommends motion to:
A) approve
an Interlocal Agreement
with the City of Boynton Beach a municipal corporation (City of Boynton) for
the City of Boynton’s P25 compliant radio system;
B) approve an Interlocal Agreement with the City of
Delray Beach, a municipal corporation (City of Delray) for the City of Delray’s
P25 compliant radio system; and
C) authorize County Administrator or his designee to have the
authority to execute all documents pertaining to the City Radio System after
receiving City approval to execute the documents and after review for legal
sufficiency.
SUMMARY: These two identical Interlocal Agreements
establish the terms and conditions pursuant to which the County will facilitate
the migration of each City to a P25 compliant radio system by: 1) working with
County’s consultant to develop a design criteria package for the City’s Radio
System, 2) including the specifications for the City Radio System in the
County’s Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new P25 compliant radio system, and
3) utilizing the County’s selected contractor to implement a City Radio System.
To initiate the work, each City will make a City Design Criteria Package
Election indicating that the City concurs with the scope of the consultant’s
services and simultaneously transferring 110% of the funds for the work (10%
being for contingency). The City’s Design Criteria Package will be included in
the County’s RFP for the P25 Migration Project.
Contractors responding to the County’s RFP will include separate pricing
for each City’s scope of work. After the Board has directed staff to commence
negotiations with the selected contractor, each City will advise County as to
whether it wants County to negotiate a Statement of Work (SOW) on the City’s
behalf with the selected contractor. If the City does not desire the County to
commence negotiations with the selected contractor, the City will terminate the
Interlocal Agreement and may conduct its own RFP. If a City chooses to have the
County negotiate a final SOW, it will advise the County accordingly. After the City has reviewed the final
negotiated SOW, the City can issue a Radio System Election accepting the SOW
and transferring 110% of the costs for implementation of the City Radio System.
Each City is responsible for all costs associated with the City’s Radio System.
County is solely responsible for all services associated with County staff and
project management services for the City’s Radio System project. 100% of any City funds remaining at the
conclusion of the City Radio System project will be returned to the City. The term of the Agreements is three years or
until the completion of the City Radio System, whichever is longer. Until the time the Radio System Election is
made, the Agreements can be terminated by either party by providing written
notice to the other party. (FDO Admin) Countywide (JM)

SUMMARY: The Singer Island Shore Protection Project
includes dune restoration in an area designated by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) as “critically eroded”. Dune restoration reconstructs past dune
profiles and stabilizes the sand with native dune vegetation. Easement agreements that include public
access are required for dune restoration and construction access to the beach
and dune areas within the project limits. These easement agreements are for a
fifty-year term beginning on the date of execution of the document and incur no
cost to the County. The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a contract
with Eastman for the Annual Dune & Wetlands Restoration Project No.
2013ERM01 (R2013-1825) on December 17, 2013.
Work Order No. 1825-03 authorizes Eastman to truck haul sand to the
beach for the Singer Island Dune Restoration Project. SBE participation will
achieve 53.4% with this Work Order.
An Interlocal Agreement with the City was approved by the BCC on October
16, 2012 (R2012-1597) which established a 20% cost-share of eligible project
cots, not to exceed $200,000 in any fiscal year. Amendment No. 1 was approved by the BCC on
May 21, 2013 (R2013-0618) and was a one-time increase in the City’s cost-share
cap to $339,000 to cover project costs associated with Hurricane Sandy. FDEP
funding agreements 14PB5 and 06PB2 authorize a respective 50% and 40% cost
share for Singer Island dune construction ($602,160 total state share). The
City cost share of this restoration work will be $261,600. The remaining cost
of $444,831 is provided from the Beach Improvement Fund. District 1 (SF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $103,106 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
2015 estimated donation requirement is $ $107,158. 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 $103,106. The funds
are 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 $1,170,897.
Approval of this request will reduce the adopted State Law Enforcement Trust
Fund balance to $1,067,791. 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

C. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
1) the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Council’s
recommendation to renew the Secondary
Service Provider’s six-year EMS Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
(COPCN’s) for American Medical Response (AMR) and Medics Ambulance Service from
January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020; and
2) a new six-year COPCN to American Ambulance Service from January 1, 2015
to December 31, 2020.
SUMMARY: During the past fourteen years, AMR and
Medics Ambulance Service have been the recipient of
the COPCNs in Palm Beach County for Advanced Life Support/Basic Life Support
(ALS/BLS), Secondary Service Provider for inter-hospital, non-emergency
transport services, and ALS/BLS back-up emergency services. These COPCN
licenses will expire on December 31, 2014. Currently, AMR and Medics Ambulance
Service are owned by the same parent company, Envision Healthcare, and their
base stations are co-located. Pursuant
to Palm Beach County Ordinance 2010-056, any agency providing, or desiring to
provide emergency medical services in Palm Beach County, must submit an
application and meet the requirements for issuance of a COPCN. On September 15,
2014, a Public Notice was advertised in our local newspaper for the acceptance
of COPCN applications. Three applications were received and reviewed by staff
to determine if they met all of the legal requirements of our EMS Ordinance and
were subsequently submitted to the EMS Council for their review and
recommendations. On November 13, 2014, the EMS Advisory Council reviewed all
three applications and their required documents. The Council voted to forward
all three COPCN applications to the Board of County Commissioners for approval.
Out of the fourteen members present, the vote was as follows: Eleven yes, two
abstentions, and one no vote. Countywide (TKF)

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve an education and monitoring program regarding use of
the plant substance kratom, also known as Mitragyna speciosa, including dietary
supplements containing kratom; and
B) defer consideration of the enactment of regulations regarding use
or sale of kratom pending further review and study by State and Federal
regulatory agencies; and
C) approve a Budget Transfer up to $25,000 from General Fund Contingency
Reserve, to be processed administratively by the Office of Financial Management
and Budget based upon the final cost of the program.
Summary: Staff was directed to collect and evaluate information related to the
use of kratom and to recommend local regulatory actions or programming, if
warranted, to address concerns regarding possible harmful effects of the
substance. Staff has completed the review and is recommending an education and
monitoring program in partnership with the Palm Beach County Substance
Awareness Coalition and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. The cost of the program is anticipated to be
$25,000 or less on an annual basis for materials, advertising and staff
time. Staff is not, at this time,
recommending enactment of regulations regarding use and sale of the substance. Countywide

2. ADD-ON: Staff
request Board direction: to implement the actions necessary
for Palm Beach County to terminate membership with Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council (TCRPC) and obtain membership with South Florida Regional
Planning Council (SFRPC). SUMMARY: On October 7, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed
staff to continue moving forward with reviewing the process of terminating
membership in Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (Palm Beach, Martin, St.
Lucie and Indian River) and joining South Florida Regional Planning Council
(Miami-Dade, Monroe and Broward County). The Board discussed potential savings
of $318,345 (if fees remain constant) with the move to SFRPC and the numerous
characteristics in common between Palm Beach County and members of SFRPC. Staff
met with Michael Busha, Executive Director of TCRPC, Jim Murley, Executive
Director of SFRPC, Ron Book, Executive Director of Florida Regional Planning
Councils Association (FRPCA), Rana Brown of FRPCA and Richard Radcliff,
Executive Director of the League of Cities to begin the dialogue on next steps
for transition to SFRPC. At this meeting, staff was notified that the Board of
Directors for the League of Cities voted unanimously to oppose moving from
TCRPC to SFRPC. They stated a number of
concerns should be addressed prior to a decision being made to transition to
SFRPC (see attachment C to the Agenda Item). The Director of Florida Regional
Planning Council Association thinks this change may have statewide implications
for the Association and stated this may be an appropriate time to review
boundaries of all Regional Planning Councils (RPCs) in the State. The
boundaries of the RPCs have not been reviewed in several decades. If the Board
directs staff to proceed with the transition, the Association is willing to
assist us in the process. It is
estimated to take approximately 18 months to complete the transition process,
which would require receiving the approval of the TCRPC, a resolution from each
Member Unit BOCC of TCRPC to terminate Palm Beach County as a member of TCRPC;
approval by SFRPC through an amended Interlocal Agreement, approval by each of
their Member Unit BCC and approval of changes to the RPC’s boundaries by the
Governor. Countywide (RB)
