B) Amended and Restated Parking Agreement (R98-183D) (Agreement) with Jupiter Stadium, Ltd. and Aries Land Acquisition, LLC.

SUMMARY: Roger Dean Stadium (Stadium) is located adjacent to the Abacoa Town Center in the Town of Jupiter. Through a Declaration of Easements for Off-Site Parking (Declaration), the Abacoa Town Center is required to supply not less than 2,020 parking spaces to serve the Stadium, with 500 of those 2,020 spaces currently being made available at the Abacoa Campus of Florida Atlantic University. Management and other responsibilities for all required spaces are the subject of a tri-party Parking Agreement. In response to the latest development initiative in the Abacoa Town Center, the distribution of parking spaces within the various phases of the Town Center as originally contemplated in the Declaration and Parking Agreement has changed. As a result, these amendments make conforming changes to the distribution of Stadium parking spaces for consistency with the envisioned build-out of the Town Center while continuing to require 2,020 parking spaces to serve the Stadium. All parties have cooperated to ensure that adequate parking facilities will remain available to concurrently serve the Town Center and Stadium. To that end, a Parking Management Plan has been prepared which is supported by all parties and both teams, has been approved by the Town of Jupiter, and is being incorporated into the Declaration and Agreement by reference. This Agreement also establishes terms by which Jupiter Stadium, Ltd. (JSL) will be allowed to use Aries Land Acquisition, LLC’s (Aries’) undeveloped properties in the Town Center for baseball parking purposes, and deletes provisions regarding the construction of additional parking spaces on Stadium grounds by JSL and a maximum $10,000 obligation of Aries related thereto.

SUMMARY: In February 2008, the County acquired 84 acres of property on Indiantown Road west of Riverbend Park, across from the Cypress Creek Natural Area, from Walter Hatcher and Joyce Hatcher (the “Hatchers”). As a condition of the sale, the Hatchers retained a leasehold interest in 6.54 acres of the property which included their house, until such time as Environmental Resources Management (ERM) was ready to commence development of its planned wetland habitat restoration project. On February 4, 2014, (R2014-0189), the Board approved a First Amendment to the Lease which extended the term for one year with an option to extend for an additional one year, without payment of rent, and delegated authority to the County Administrator or his designee to approve or reject the exercise of the option. The current expiration date of the Lease is February 13, 2015. Mr. Hatcher recently requested the County’s consent to exercise the additional one year extension option, and ERM agreed to the extension through February 13, 2016.

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 001 to an Agreement (R2014-1474) with the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County, Inc. (Legal Aid Society) to correct a scrivener’s error regarding the number of beneficiaries. Summary: On October 7, 2014, the County entered into an Agreement (R2014-1474) with the Legal Aid Society to provide $47,300 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to provide fair housing enforcement activities intended to identify and remedy housing discrimination. This Amendment revises the number of program beneficiaries from 59 to 29. The Agreement provided for 59 beneficiaries to be served based on the funding application received from Legal Aid Society. They have since advised that this number was a scrivener’s error and have requested its correction. As a consequence of this error, the Agreement needs to be revised to increase the rate paid per beneficiary from $801.70 to $1,631. In Fiscal Year 2013-2014, the Legal Aid Society received $47,513 in CDBG funds which enabled them to provide services to 29 beneficiaries at a rate of $1638.38 per beneficiary which is consistent with the Amendment. These are Federal CDBG funds which require no local match. (DES Contract Development) Countywide (JB)

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) ratify the signature of the Mayor on a Grant Application for firefighter safety and personal protective equipment to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) 2014 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program requesting $393,932 to fund the purchase of fire rescue equipment. The County shall be responsible for 10% match, or $39,393 plus a voluntary match of $67,160 to fund additional fire rescue equipment; and

B) ratify the Mayor’s designation of the County Administrator, or his designee (Deputy Chief Thomas Tolbert), to act as the County’s representative for the purpose of electronically signing and submitting the grant application for firefighter safety and personal protective equipment via the DHS/Federal Emergency Management Agency website.

Summary: The 2014 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program is a competitive grant program designed to assist local fire departments in protecting citizens and firefighters against the effects of fire and fire-related incidents. This grant program funds activities such as purchasing firefighting equipment, personal protection equipment, training, firefighting vehicles, and firefighter/first responder safety projects. Fire Rescue submitted an application for firefighter safety and personal protective equipment. If awarded the grant request, Fire Rescue will purchase 38 thermal imaging cameras and 38 Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) packs with SCBA cylinders. Equipping all of our Advanced Life Support (ALS) rescue units with RIT packs, including SCBA cylinders and a thermal imaging camera will accomplish 100% compliance with NFPA 1500/1710/1407 standards. Having this capability on every ALS rescue can prevent delay in clearing human occupancy, including downed or entrapped Firefighters or citizens. Our goal is to provide high quality, up-to-date equipment to our firefighters to protect them, along with the citizens of Palm Beach County, while conducting fire fighting and rescue operations. The grant application requests $393,932 from the AFG program, a required match of $39,393 (10%), and as a show of commitment to this program, Fire Rescue has also committed $67,160 in local funding to purchase an additional eight thermal imaging cameras allowing us to add thermal imaging cameras to eight existing RIT packs. The total RIT project cost in this application is therefore $499,486, which includes a reimbursement of grant writer costs of $999. Both the local match and additional commitment shall be funded from Fire Rescue’s contingency reserve. Grant rules require submission of grant applications by electronic format in order to assure an efficient review and competitive scoring of all funding requests submitted under this program. The deadline for submission of this Grant Application to the grantor agency was 5:00 p.m. on December 5, 2014. Due to the preparation time, submittal deadlines, and Board of County Commissioner meeting dates, the grant had to be submitted prior to full Board approval. Pursuant to Section 309.00 of the Palm Beach County Administrative Code, the Mayor approved this Grant Application, which now must be ratified by the Board. The Grant Application includes certifications of compliance with required assurances and certifications, as stated in the application and related program guidance. Countywide (SB)

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 7 (PFK)

B. Staff recommends motion to:

1) conduct a TEFRA public hearing regarding a change in use of the proceeds of the County's Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, Inc. Project) (the "Bonds"); and

2) authorize the Mayor’s execution of an IRS Form 8038 with respect to the Bonds.

SUMMARY: In 2004, the County issued the Bonds to finance and refinance the acquisition by the Community Foundation of land (the "Land") located at the northwest corner of Olive Avenue and Trinity Place in West Palm Beach to be used as additional parking for the Community Foundation’s headquarters located at 700 South Dixie Highway. The Community Foundation wishes to exchange a portion of the Land for adjacent land. The Internal Revenue Code requires that the County conduct a public hearing concerning the exchange, similar to the public hearing required for new industrial revenue bond issuances. No County funds are involved in this exchange nor will the terms of the existing Bonds be modified. District 7 (PFK)

This Ordinance Amendment makes minor revisions to the Local Preference Code; makes local preference available to all procurements governed by the Purchasing Code instead of only to those procurements exceeding the Mandatory Bid or Proposal amount of $50,000; and encourages a local preference for the purchase of goods and services that are exempt from the requirements of the Purchasing Code. Examples of exempt purchases include, but are not limited to, presenters and lecturers for county library programs, interlocal agreements, food service and retail leases and concessions; and, event specific stage production or programming.

It promotes the use of recycled paper products; discourages the use of paper products that are not recyclable; and sets forth a preferential procurement policy to encourage and promote the use of recycled and recyclable paper products by County departments, agencies and contractors. This Ordinance Amendment recognizes the importance of the use of sustainable source paper products, of which recycled paper products is a subset, and clarifies and updates the County’s goal with regard to the use of sustainable source paper products. A summary of the substantive recommended changes to the existing Palm Beach County Recycled Paper Product Procurement Ordinance is attached to the Agenda Item. Countywide (DW)

5. REGULAR AGENDA

A. ADMINISTRATION

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: standard construction contract language establishing the Glades Employee Incentive Program. SUMMARY: People Engaged in Active Community Efforts (PEACE) asked the County to develop a “first source” ordinance that would encourage contractors to hire Glades residents on County projects. Due to issues with that concept, as an alternative, staff with PEACE support is proposing the Glades Employee Incentive Program (GEIP). It will supplement the County’s existing Glades Local Preference Ordinance which provides bidding preferences for Glades businesses; to encourage significant community benefits arising from long term employment. The GEIP establishes a program providing an incentive payment to contractors (and their subcontractors) who employ Glades residents. Pursuant to the program, a contractor applying for the incentive payment may recover 30% of the new Glades employee(s) wages (including payroll taxes, costs and benefits) on the County project up to a maximum reimbursement of $100,000 per project. To be eligible for the GEIP, the Glades resident must be a full-time employee of the contractor for a minimum of three weeks on the County project and cannot have worked for the contractor claiming the Glades employee for 90 days prior to the project. There are several factors which will determine program success and the ultimate fiscal impact to the County as a result of the GEIP, the two primary being the number and type of projects slated to commence in the Glades and the contractor’s need to make new hires to complete the jobs. As such, Staff is recommending that the GEIP be implemented for a trial period of two years. (Administration) District 6 (JM)

2. Staff recommends motion to approve: implementation of the Abundant Community Initiative Pilot Project through the contracting of three neighborhood connectors in the pilot communities of Cabana Colony, Plantation, and San Castle in an amount not to exceed $20,000. SUMMARY: The recommended funding is available in Office of Community Revitalization’s (OCR) Community Connect Initiative Budget and will be used to contract with a resident in each of the selected pilot communities as neighborhood connectors to spearhead the project implementation. The neighborhood connector will not be a County employee, and will report to the community leadership group and the OCR Staff. Last year, the OCR was selected to be part of a national neighborhood leadership group sponsored by the Kettering Foundation and the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute to exchange, evaluate and adopt successful initiatives to promote community engagement and build community capacity. This pilot project and the contracting of neighborhood residents for its implementation follow the national model already adopted and successfully implemented by the leadership group throughout the United States and Canada. Based on the lessons learned and the evaluation conducted in partnership with the members of this group, OCR will make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on whether this pilot project could be used as a prototype that can be replicated and applied to other communities in Palm Beach County. The above project was reviewed and recommended for funding by the Countywide Community Revitalization Team. An agreement with the neighborhood connectors will be brought to the BCC at a future date for approval. Countywide (AH)

3. Staff recommends motion to approve: Voluntary Apprentice Incentive Program (AIP) for County Construction Projects. SUMMARY: The Board has discussed on multiple occasions the implementation of a policy to mandate or encourage use of certified building trade apprentices on County construction projects. The Board was previously informed that a mandate would not be legally viable. The AIP would be immediately implemented by adding appropriate language to relevant new County construction contracts. The AIP allows contractors (including subcontractors) that actually expend a minimum of $25,000 in apprentice payroll costs to be reimbursed 20% of its apprentice wages up to a maximum of $100,000 for voluntarily using apprentices participating in State training programs. For construction projects of $20,000,000 or greater, the minimum threshold of expenditures for apprentices shall increase to $50,000 and the maximum reimbursement payment to $200,000. This proposal has received support from union and contractor representatives. Cost impact will be dependent upon contractor’s use and the type and size of construction projects commencing, but staff presumes that it will be of similar magnitude to other incentives (SBE, local, Glades) applicable to construction projects. Staff is recommending that the AIP be implemented for a trial period of two years. (Administration) Countywide (JM)

B. COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) Second Amendment to the agreement (R2013-0201) with the Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden, Inc. for funding of a gardener position to assist in the care and maintenance of The Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County;

B) a Budget Amendment of $49,897 in the Cooperative Extension Revenue Fund to recognize new funding; and

C) a Budget Transfer of $19,960 from the General Fund Contingency to Fund 1482 Cooperative Extension Revenue.

Summary: The Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden, Inc. will provide funding to the County in amount not to exceed $29,937 ($20,050 for salary and $9,887 for fringe benefits) to support 60% of a gardener position beginning February 5, 2015 and ending on February 4, 2016. Palm Beach County will be funding the remaining $19,960 ($13,367 for salary and $6,593 for fringe benefits) at a funding level of 40% for a total of $49,897. The position will continue to support The Mounts Botanical Garden of Palm Beach County. District 7 (AH)

C. INFORMATION SYSTEMS SERVICES

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) increase of one Systems Architecture Analyst position (Spec # 00969, PG 49) to the complement of the Network Services Division within the Information Systems Services Department (ISS) to be dedicated to the support the County’s Next Generation 9-1-1 system; and

B) FY 2015 Budget Amendment in General Fund to recognize $68,691 in revenue from the Countywide 9-1-1 Fund.

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County Public Safety Department, 9-1-1 Program Services, has installed one of the first Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1) systems in the United States. Given the technical complexity of this system and the number of 9-1-1 call centers in the County (18), Public Safety has requested full-time technical support from Information Systems Services (ISS) Network Services Division. This new ISS position will assist in the maintenance, troubleshooting and technical planning of the NG 9-1-1 network. In last year’s session, the Florida legislature approved CS/CS/HB 175, which includes language authorizing Counties to use 9-1-1 monies to fund ‘technical system maintenance’ personnel. This position will work in the ISS Network Services Division, with a dotted line reporting relationship to the Public Safety 9-1-1 Program Services Director. This request is for one additional position to meet the necessary NG 9-1-1 Project workload conditions and will be funded entirely with State provided 9-1-1 revenue. Countywide (PFK)

D. PLANNING, ZONING & BUILDING

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement with the Village of Palm Springs providing for the annexation of two enclaves, generally located south of Diamond Road, east of Military Trail, west of Kirk Road. SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners has directed staff to work with municipalities to strategically address annexations. Chapter 171, Florida Statutes (F.S.), allows annexation of enclaves less than 10 acres through an Interlocal Agreement between the annexing municipality and the County. By Resolution No. 2014-54 adopted on December 11, 2014, the Village of Palm Springs has petitioned the County to enter into such an agreement for the annexation of two enclaves consisting of five parcels totaling 1.87 acres, as identified in Exhibit A of the Interlocal Agreement. The Interlocal Agreement also provides for the annexation of the right-of-way segments identified in Exhibit B of the Interlocal Agreement. The annexation has been processed through the County’s review Departments, including Fire Rescue; Engineering; Planning; Zoning; Environmental Resources Management; Parks and Recreation; Water Utilities; County Attorney; Property and Real Estate Management; Sheriff's Office; and the Office of Financial Management and Budget. The Village has provided written notice to all owners of real property located within the enclaves. The proposed annexation meets the requirements of Chapter 171, F.S., and is consistent with the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. District 3 (RPB)

E. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) conceptually approve the sale of property owned by NOAH Development Corporation (NOAH) to HTG Covenant Villas, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (Purchaser) consisting of the Palm Beach County Housing Authority (Housing Authority) and HTG Housing Group (HTG);

B) direct staff to negotiate the terms of a loan agreement with Purchaser to allow Purchaser’s assumption of County’s loans to NOAH, and the restructuring and subordination of that debt to a primary lender in exchange for receipt of $1,000,000 from NOAH’s property sale proceeds;

C) conceptually approve the award of $500,000 of HOME funds to Purchaser pursuant to a new loan agreement in exchange for repayment of NOAH’s expended funds and termination of NOAH’s 2013 HOME Loan Agreement (R2013-1808); and

D) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to execute a new loan agreement, assignment and assumption and modification of loan agreements, mortgages, promissory notes, restrictive covenants, termination and satisfactions of mortgages, subordination agreements, a new HOME loan agreement, amendments, and all other documents necessary for the transaction.

SUMMARY: Covenant Villas is a 144-unit apartment complex in Belle Glade. It was built in 1987 by NOAH, a non-profit organization whose mission has been to create affordable housing in the Glades area. NOAH used a combination of public and private financing, including the sale of bonds and a County loan and grant in the amount of $2.7 Million to develop Covenant Villas. Due to economic challenges in the Glades, the project is in need of significant repair and is currently only 40% occupied. In 2013, the County provided $500,000 to commence rehabilitation on 25 units; however, NOAH continued to face challenges in the rehabilitation process. To remedy this on-going issue, DES took a proactive role in recognizing the need for a private developer to partner with NOAH and the County to realize the success of this project and the completion of much needed safe and affordable housing in the Glades. The County has partnered with HTG on numerous successful projects including Pine Run Villas, a $13 Million complex consisting of 63 townhome style affordable rental units in Lake Worth. HTG submitted an offer to purchase the property in partnership with the Housing Authority and take over the $17 Million rehabilitation and the operation of Covenant Villas. The Housing Authority has committed 116 HUD project rental vouchers to the project. These are grant funds which require no local match. (DES) District 6 (JB)

1. ADD-ON: Staff requests:

A) Board direction regarding the potential ~~purchase of ten (10) paratransit vehicles currently used by Two Wheels, Inc. under the Metro Mobility Management Group, LLC (Metro) Contract;~~ assistance to Two Wheels, Inc., a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise providing paratransit services under the Metro Mobility Management Group, LLC (Metro) Contract, by paying off ten paratransit vehicles financed from Advantage Auto Finance Company, LLC and Advantage Funding Commercial Capital Corp., in exchange for the County retaining the vehicles and receiving a Full General Release and Waiver from Two Wheels, Inc. for any and all claims against the County and Palm Tran, Inc.;

B) authorization for the Office of Financial Management and Budget to administratively process a budget transfer up to $385,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserve; and

C) authorization for the Office of Financial Management and Budget to administratively process a budget amendment up to $385,000 in the Palm Tran Fund to recognize ~~funding for the purchase of~~ the pay off for the vehicles.

Summary: Two Wheels, Inc. (Two Wheels), which is owned by Bettye Jones, is a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) providing paratransit services under ~~the~~ its Contract with Metro (R2012-0934). The Contract with Metro will expire on January 31, 2015. Two Wheels, Inc. will not be providing services for any of the three new providers. Ms. Jones purchased ten (10) new vehicles from Advantage Auto Finance Company, LLC and Advantage Funding Commercial Capital Corp. In good faith, and in order to meet the needs of the public and the terms of its contract with Metro, Two Wheels purchased ten new vehicles from Advantage Auto Finance Company, LLC and Advantage Funding Commercial Capital Corp. This was done in 2013, prior to the approval of the Settlement Agreement between the County and Metro (R2014-0101) which stipulated an early termination date of January 31, 2015. Two Wheels will not be providing services for any of the three new paratransit providers. Due to the early termination of the Metro contract, which greatly impacted Two Wheels and was outside of ~~her~~ its control, ~~Ms. Jones~~ Two Wheels is unable to continue to make payments on the vehicles after January 31, 2015. The Board is being asked for direction regarding the potential assistance of Two Wheels by paying off the vehicles from Advantage Auto Finance and Advantage Funding in exchange for the County retaining the vehicles and receiving a Full General Release and Waiver from Two Wheels for any and all claims against the County and Palm Tran, Inc. The County can either utilize the vehicles in its Palm Tran fleet benefitting Palm Tran customers, its general fleet benefiting all County Departments, or sell the vehicles. Staff estimates that the ~~resale~~ value of the vehicles is $150,000 based on the projected mileage as of January 31, 2015. Payoff quotes have been obtained from Advantage Auto Finance and Advantage Funding totaling $384,041.23. These quotes are good until January 16, 2015 and January 19, 2015, respectively. Staff estimates that the resale value of the vehicles is $150,000 based on the projected mileage as of January 31, 2015. Under the new paratransit model, the County purchased 231 new vehicles all of which have been delivered. Of the 231 vehicles, 35 are designated as spare vehicles. Options for the Board to consider include: 1) Authorize Staff to negotiate with Advantage Auto Finance and Advantage Funding to purchase the vehicles; or 2) Direct Staff not to negotiate a purchase of the vehicles. Funds for a purchase would come from General Fund Contingency Reserves. Countywide (DR)
