A) Approval  of a term sheet which identifies the key provisions of an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the City of West Palm Beach (City) to facilitate the development of a two-team spring training facility (Facility) for Washington Nationals and Houston Astros (collectively Teams); 

 

B) Authorization to commence negotiations of an Interlocal Agreement with the City of West Palm Beach; and

 

C) Authorization to commence negotiations of a Developer Agreement and Facility Use Agreement with the Teams.

 

Summary  On December 16, 2014, the Board directed Staff to commence negotiations with the City which will provide for the development of a two team spring training facility on City owned property at the SE corner of Haverhill Rd and 45th Street. This term sheet is the starting point for an Agreement with the primary purpose to: 1) provide property (the Stadium Property) for the development of the Two Team Major League Baseball Spring Training Facility (Facility) on a manner consistent with the City’s protection of its water supply, 2) provide the City with ownership of property downtown presently owned by the County critical to its redevelopment and economic development objectives, and 3) allow for the construction of a City Park at the Teams sole expense immediately adjacent to the Stadium Property. The two main components of the Agreement will; 1) exchange the 1.8 acres of the County owned land on Government Hill for 143 acres of City property, 2) provide the provisions by which the Teams (through its’ agreements with the County) will be solely responsible for the development of a City Park on Haverhill Rd. The City is considering this term sheet at their February 2, 2015 City Council Meeting. With favorable consideration of the term sheet by the City and County, Staff will commence negotiations on the three agreements which will all need to be considered for approval at the same time in the future.  Countywide/District 7 (JM) (Administration)

Summary:  On October 22, 2014, five bids were received for the Belle Glade Sewer Infiltration and Inflow Improvements 2014 project. This project will diminish infiltration and inflow into the sewer system, reducing the likelihood of sewer overflows. Hinterland Group, Inc. was the lowest responsive responsible bidder in the amount of $1,794,613. Funding is provided by the County's Department of Economic Sustainability with Disaster Recovery Program. Since the project is funded with federal funds, it is subject to a 22.4% minority participation goal and a 6.9% female participation goal for trades rather than the County’s SBE goals.  The Contract provides for 0.0% minority participation and 2.2% female participation.  However, staff recommends award to Hinterland Group, Inc. based upon their good faith efforts to meet the desired participation goals.  The project requires specialized work involving the lining of wastewater pipes that few minority-owned businesses provide. Hinterland Group, Inc is a Palm Beach County company. Change Order No. 1 will reduce the contract price from $1,794,613 to $1,343,343 and reduce the scope of work to match the available grant amount because the bid amount exceeded the available grant funds by $451,270.

Two properties, Runyon and Prewitt Villages (Properties) in unincorporated Palm Beach County, located near the border of the City of Belle Glade had significant liens placed on the Properties prior to going into receivership.  This Agreement has been negotiated and agreed upon between PBCWUD and the new property owner to satisfy the unpaid water service charges and to remove any liens from the Properties.  The negotiated settlement is for $135,947.51 on the original $261,410.62 lien amount, amounting in a forgiveness of $125,463.11 in outstanding charges dating back to 2009.  PBCWUD will acquire Runyon Villages water and wastewater infrastructure and make system improvements with a $700,000 Community Development Block Grant through the Department of Economic Sustainability as approved by the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners on July 22, 2014, under Agenda Item 4B. PBCWUD recommends acceptance of the negotiated settlement amount based on the age of the outstanding debt and the current master meter/individual meter configuration, which effectively precludes WUD from terminating water service to the property as long as individually metered customers remain current on their water service charges.  PBCWUD and the property owner agree there are inherent inefficiencies associated with the current operation of service and agree to modify the provision of service to the Properties to be in compliance with PBCWUD’s Unified Policies and Procedures.

A.         ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff:

 

A) requests Board direction regarding a request by the Town of Loxahatchee Groves for the County to sell a 1.34 acre parcel of land within the County’s Loxahatchee Groves Park to the Town for $20,000, or at the staff recommended amount of $50,000, as the Town wishes to purchase the existing Central Chamber of Commerce office building on the site;

 

B) recommends motion to adopt a Resolution authorizing the sale of the 1.34 acre parcel to the Town of Loxahatchee Groves at the price approved by the Board; and

 

C) recommends motion to approve a County Deed conveying the 1.34 acre parcel to the Town of Loxahatchee Groves.

 

SUMMARY:  The County’s 30+/- acre Loxahatchee Groves Park is located on the north side of Southern Blvd. at the intersection of “F” Road in Loxahatchee Groves.  The County has leased a 1.34 acre parcel within the Park to the Palms West (now Central) Chamber of Commerce since 1990 (R90-2082). The Chamber constructed a 3,700 square foot building with offices, a welcome center and a public meeting room.  The term of the lease runs until 2030 and rent is $1/year.  Recently, the Chamber decided to relocate and has negotiated a sale of its building to the Town of Loxahatchee Groves for $460,000, with the Town proposing to pay the County $20,000 for the land.  As the County owns the underlying land, a sale of the building requires the County to either allow an assignment of the Chamber’s lease or conveyance of title to the land to the Town.  The Town will only accept fee simple title to the land.  The land (not including building) is assessed by the Property Appraiser’s Office at $180,000 ($135,000/acre).  Staff obtained an appraisal of the property under its current Park/Park and Recreation land use and zoning which valued the property at $20,000.  Staff does not support the Town’s offer of $20,000 and recommends that the Board require payment of at least $50,000 for the property, which represents a compromise for the office use of the park property.  If the Board approves the sale of this property to the Town, then Staff recommends approval of the Resolution and County Deed at the price determined by the Board.  The County Deed imposes restrictions limiting use of the property by the Town for public purposes and prohibits sale of the property to a non governmental entity, without the County’s consent. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, expressing its’ objection to the postponement of the construction funding for State Road 7 from 60th Street to Northlake Boulevard to Fiscal Year 2020 and requesting that the funding for the construction of the State Road 7 segment from 60th Street to Northlake Boulevard be programmed such that it would be available after July 1, 2016.  SUMMARY:  This Resolution will confirm that Palm Beach County is objecting to the Florida Department of Transportation’s action to postpone the construction funding from Fiscal Year 2016 to Fiscal Year 2020.

B) Authorization to commence negotiations of an Interlocal Agreement with the City of West Palm Beach; and

 

C) Authorization to commence negotiations of a Developer Agreement and Facility Use Agreement with the Teams.

 

Summary  On December 16, 2014, the Board directed Staff to commence negotiations with the City which will provide for the development of a two team spring training facility on City owned property at the SE corner of Haverhill Rd and 45th Street. This term sheet is the starting point for an Agreement with the primary purpose to; 1) provide property (the Stadium Property) for the development of the Two Team Major League Baseball Spring Training Facility (Facility) on a manner consistent with the City’s protection of its water supply, 2) provide the City with ownership of property downtown presently owned by the County critical to its redevelopment and economic development objectives, and 3) allow for the construction of a City Park at the Teams sole expense immediately adjacent to the Stadium Property. The two main components of the Agreement will; 1) exchange the 1.8 acres of the County owned land on Government Hill for 143 acres of City property, 2) provide the provisions by which the Teams (through its’ agreements with the County) will be solely responsible for the development of a City Park on Haverhill Rd. The City is considering this term sheet at their February 2, 2015 City Council Meeting. With favorable consideration of the term sheet by the City and County, Staff will commence negotiations on the three agreements which will all need to be considered for approval at the same time in the future.  Countywide/District 7 (JM)

A) a Budget Transfer of $125,000 from the Domestic Violence Trust Fund to the General Fund to offset County funding to the Palm Beach County’s Sheriff’s Office; and

 

B) a Budget Amendment of $125,000 in the General Fund to recognize the transfer from the Domestic Violence Trust Fund and allocate funding to the Drug Court Programs.

 

SUMMARY:  Historically, the Drug Court programs (Adult, Juvenile, Family, and Civil) have been funded by various funding sources such as Drug Abuse Trust Fund, Crime Prevention Trust Fund, and various grants.  In the last several years, the amount of revenue collected by these funding sources has significantly declined.  For FY 2015, the total annual cost to operate and maintain an adequate level of service for the four Drug Court programs is $879,000.  Currently, there is a shortfall of $209,000 from various funding sources to support the Drug Court programs.  The shortfall can be resolved by transferring (on a one-time basis) $125,000 in available funds from the Domestic Violence Trust Fund to the General Fund to offset County funding to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office existing costs of incarcerated persons for domestic violence.  In turn, the County can then use the available $125,000 in ad valorem funds to help offset the Drug Court program shortfall. By transferring $125,000 out of the Domestic Violence Trust Fund, an estimated balance of $183,000 will remain in the fund by October 1, 2015.  Pursuant to Florida Statute 938.08, funds collected in the Domestic Violence Trust Fund can be used to defray the costs of incarcerating persons for domestic violence.  The remaining balance of $84,000 will come from the FY 2014 balance brought forward of $74,000 in the Crime Prevention Trust Fund and $10,000 in the Drug Abuse Trust Fund.  The Drug Court budgets will reflect this amount once the balance brought forward amendments are processed in March 2015 by the Office of Financial Management and Budget.

In 2008, Staff issued an Request for Proposal (RFP) which resulted in bids of $100,000 and $399,280 which were rejected.  In preparation for issuing a new RFP, Staff obtained two recent appraisals of the property which valued the property as a standalone parcel at $375,000 ($37,802/acre) and $380,000 ($38,306/acre), and also appraised the market value to the adjoining owner at $925,000 ($93,246/acre) and $960,000 ($96,774/acre).  Staff issued a new RFP in December 2014.  Three proposals were received: Thomas Hughes in the amount of $400,000; James J. Ward, III in the amount of $1,000,192; and Village Professional Park, LLC in the amount of $1,150,000. Staff recommends award to the highest responsive bidder, Village Professional Park, for the proposed price of $1,150,000.  The property is being sold “as is” without contingencies. Closing is to occur within 45 days of Board approval.  The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, but will not retain rights of entry and exploration.  The County will provide at the County’s expense a title policy insuring the marketability of title to the property. Village Professional Park provided a Disclosure identifying Roger Fina as 100% owner of Village Professional Park.  Roger Fina is also a principal of the owner of the adjacent property. This sale must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: the Palm Beach County Public Safety Radio P25 Migration Path Recommendation Report.  SUMMARY:  The P25 Migration Path Recommendation Report (Report) recommends that the County proceed with a full system replacement while maintaining the operation of the existing system for 6-12 months and contains specific recommendations regarding redundancy and interoperability which will form the basis for the functional specifications contained in the future Request for Proposals (RFP). Included is a recommendation that the County interface the existing radio system to the new P25 system via an ISSI connection.  This ISSI connection will allow the interoperability partners additional time to procure new P25 radios, provide additional flexibility in cutover, and provides a fair and level playing field for the future RFP as all vendors must interface to the existing system via an ISSI connection. The Report recommends that ISSI connection be implemented concurrent with the West Palm Beach’s (WPB) cut-over to a P25 system which is currently estimated to be implemented 9-12 months prior to the County’s new system becoming operational.  This will eliminate WPB’s need for an interim interoperability solution between the County and WPB systems and provides access to the Municipal Public Safety Communications Consortium (MPSCC) OpenSky users through the same ISSI connection. WPB has already contracted for its proprietary ISSI interface (to Harris) and the County will have to make a sole source procurement for its proprietary ISSI to Motorola.  It is recommended that the County negotiate a price with Motorola now to ensure that the County receives a competitive cost, regardless of the outcome of the RFP. The Report was distributed to P25 system vendors for review and their comments, and responses to those comments, are incorporated into the Report. The Report was also distributed to the municipalities and interoperability partners for comment, but none were received. The vendors, municipalities and interoperability partners will also be given an opportunity to review and comment on the draft RFP prior to it being advertised. (FDO Admin) Countywide (JM)
