1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution authorizing the execution of a Sixth

line of credit dated May 21, 2009 with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., that satisfies
the debt service reserve fund requirements for several of the County’s
outstanding bond issues; authorizing the execution of a separate Sixth Amendment
to Loan Agreement in connection with the extension of the County’s separate
line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (the Bank), dated June 4, 2009 that

SUMMARY: Under the terms
of the loan agreements, the County requested that the Bank extend the maturity

The Bank has agreed to extend the loan agreements for one year for the
two bond issues remaining. One of the bond issues will mature within the
current fiscal year and the letters of credits are no longer needed after this
fiscal year. The County will continue to pay an annual fee of .65% ($38,230)
for the remaining two letters of credit issued to satisfy the debt service
reserve requirements under the loan agreements.
Due to the one bond maturing, this amendment will decrease the annual
cost approximately $32,000. The County expects to continue to renew the loan
agreements each year. Countywide (PFK)

Bonds, Series 2008-2 and the Public Improvement Refunding Revenue Bond, Series

Financial Advisor. Through an electronic bid process, the County awarded the
sale to Raymond James. The refunding will save the County approximately $5.8

motion to approve: a Restated Development Agreement with MyClinic, Inc.
f/k/a Jupiter Community Health Services, Inc. (MyClinic), to extend the design
phase funding milestone from 12 months to 18 months. SUMMARY: On April 16, 2013, the Board approved a Development Agreement
(R2013-0490) with MyClinic for the development, funding and construction of a
County building (Facility) to be leased by MyClinic to operate a no cost
medical/dental clinic as a volunteer provider of services. MyClinic was
required to fully fund each phase of the design and construction services in
advance and within established funding milestone dates. In October 2014,
MyClinic approached the County advising that it wanted to pursue further
collaboration with other healthcare providers regarding a consolidated center
for services. MyClinic has now come to
the conclusion that such a significant change in the service delivery model was
not possible and wishes to extend the Design Phase funding milestone by six months.
The six month extension will provide MyClinic with the much needed time to
complete its fund-raising during the 2015-2016 winter season.
This Restated Development Agreement (Agreement) extends the Design Phase
funding milestone from 12 months to 18 months, updates the Agreement to reflect
the name change and incorporates the nondiscrimination requirements. In all other respects, the Agreement remains
the same. MyClinic has been providing
health services from a newly installed modular unit through a Temporary
Construction Easement which expires on October 23, 2020, unless terminated

Declaration of Covenants (Declaration) on an adjacent 100 acre parcel to
promote the development of the bioscience cluster. The 100 acre parcel has
since been acquired by The Kolter Group (Kolter). The County along with Scripps, the State of
Florida (State), the City of Palm Beach Gardens (Gardens), and Kolter are
beneficiaries under the Declaration.
County staffs’ and Scripps’ interpretation of the Declaration is that
the uses allowed are to be in direct support of the County’s biotechnology
industry cluster. The State, Gardens, and Kolter disagree with this
interpretation. It is their collective
belief that the UTC BIS use is specifically allowed. In a letter to County Administration dated
March 10, 2015, Scripps has stated that they will not object to UTC BIS
locating on the 30 acres provided non-biotech uses moving forward are limited
in scope and materially enhance the development of the biotechnology industry.
UTC BIS plans to construct an approximately 250,000 sf state of the art
building to be known as the “UTC Center for Intelligent Buildings”. The UTC Center for Intelligent Buildings will
serve as a showcase to demonstrate new building technologies and will encourage
global customer interaction, collaboration and inspiration to see the new
possibilities for advanced, integrated and sustainable building solutions. It will also provide office space for
employees engaged in, amongst other things, research and product development
activities of the company. UTC BIS is a $29 Billion operating segment of United
Technologies Corporation, a Fortune 50 company. UTC BIS is the world’s largest
provider of building technologies, including security, fire safety, building
automation, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, elevator, escalator and refrigeration systems. The estimated total
economic impact over five years is approximately $662 Million. The company has
not entered into an agreement to purchase the site and is still in the
exploratory stages of determining whether or not this is an appropriate site
for the proposed project. Countywide/District

recommends motion to:
A) adopt
a Resolution authorizing a Lease Agreement with Housing Partnership, Inc., a
Florida not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation (Tenant), for the use of a 1988 SF
building located at 1101 Mentone Road for a term of ten years at an annual
rental of $1, and finding that the Lease Agreement is in the best interests of
the County; and
B) approve the Lease Agreement with Tenant.
SUMMARY: The San Castle building was originally constructed at the request of the
San Castle Community Leadership to first address the immediate needs of the
community which was originally identified as early childhood education. Since June 2014, when the responsibility for
Head Start was outsourced, Facilities Development & Operations, the Office
of Community Revitalization and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office have all
been working diligently to identify a not for profit organization to partner
with the community to lease and manage the community center. The Lease Agreement with Housing Partnership,
Inc., a not-for profit 501(c)(3) corporation (Tenant) authorizes Tenant to
occupy the County-owned facility adjacent to a neighborhood park and located at
1101 Mentone Road, Lantana (San Castle).
The Premises includes a 1988 square foot building, a playground area and
a parking lot. Tenant will partner with area service providers such as the
Children’s Service Council and the School Board to provide life and health
skills, education, recreation and language programming for the community. This
Lease will permit Tenant to operate community service programs at the Premises
at an annual rent of One Dollar ($1).
County will perform interior renovations to equip the building, replace
the air conditioning unit and flooring and weather-proof the building exterior
prior to Tenant’s occupancy using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. County will be responsible for
the maintenance and repair of the building and base building infrastructure. Tenant
will be responsible for all other repairs and maintenance of the facility,
including routine repair and maintenance, custodial services, pest control and
grounds maintenance. The Lease is effective upon execution by the Board and
extends ten years from the date of occupancy and there are five renewal options
for two years each. Both parties shall
have the right to terminate with one year prior written notice. (FDO Admin) District

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the Palm Beach County Public Safety Radio System P25
Migration Request for Proposals (RFP). SUMMARY:
On February 3, 2015, the Board approved the P25 Migration Path
Recommendation Report (Report) that recommended that the County proceed with a
full system replacement while maintaining the operation of the existing system
for 6-12 months and contained specific recommendations regarding redundancy and
interoperability which will form the basis for the functional specifications to
be contained in the RFP. The RFP sets
the procedural and selection criteria, general terms and conditions, the contract
form to be awarded, and the scope of work (functional technical requirements).
The RFP is specific as to the format of each vendor’s response and includes
information regarding how the information (particularly the pricing
information) will be used in the selection process. The draft RFP was
distributed to potential vendors and the municipalities for the purpose of
providing them with an early review of the RFP so that Staff could receive
feedback regarding any provisions that they believe are not consistent with
industry standards or reasonably practical and/or limit the competitive nature
of the RFP. Staff held a
vendor/municipal review meeting (Meeting) on March 23rd in order to
discuss comments in an open forum. Comments which suggested or requested
changes to the RFP which were received at the Meeting, and any other written
comments received prior to the Meeting, were considered by staff and the
consultant and the RFP was modified to reflect changes with which the staff
concurred. A log of the comments received and their status (incorporated,
partially incorporated or not incorporated) is attached to the item for the
Boards consideration. The next milestones are the Mandatory Pre-Proposal
Meeting on April 24th and the May 21st RFP due date. (FDO

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Amendment No. 1 to the contract with The Weitz Company, LLC (R2014-0923)
in the amount of $45,766,972 for the Convention Center Parking Garage project establishing
a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) based upon design development drawings; and
B) Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 1 to the contract with Leo
A. Daly Company (R2014-0677) in the amount of $681,176 to provide construction
administration services.
SUMMARY: Amendment No. 1
will provide for the construction of a cast-in-place nine level parking garage
consisting of approximately 2,648 parking spaces. The Board approved this project on November
19, 2013, in order to coordinate timing between this project
with the hotel construction so that parking for only one peak
booking/attendance season is affected.
In order for the project to be completed in time for the Convention
Center’s season starting in December, 2016, site clearing, excavation, and
compaction work will proceed prior to issuance of the foundation and building
permits. Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
participation on this early portion of the work is 20.3%. The Weitz Company, LLC is a local firm and it
is anticipated that 75% of the work will be done by local contractors. The time of construction is 606 days. This project is funded through a bond which
debt service will be funded by the Tourist Development Tax 1st
Cent. CSA No. 1 authorizes the
Architect’s construction administration and threshold inspection services
portion of its contract. These services
are required to ensure the construction is built per the specifications and
drawings. The SBE participation for Leo A. Daly’s contract is 23.6%. (Capital Improvements Division) District 7

C. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding in
the amount of $150,000 for the renovation of the San Castle Community Center in
unincorporated Lantana. Summary: Approval of this
item will allocate $150,000 in CDBG funds for the renovation of a County-owned
facility located at 1101 Mentone Road in unincorporated Lantana. The unincorporated San Castle neighborhood is
a CDBG Target Area and a Countywide Community Revitalization Team Planning Area
which currently lacks a public community center. The Facilities Development and Operations
Department has proposed the conversion of the facility, which was previously
utilized as an Early Head Start service center, into the San Castle Community
Center to serve neighborhood residents.
The County has entered into an agreement with Housing Partnership, Inc.
to operate the facility and provide programming in the areas of recreation,
arts, language education, health, life skills, and personal and community
safety. Renovation is necessary in order
to render the facility suitable for community center use, including modification
of interior walls, installation of doors, flooring, shelving, and other
fixtures. The facility will serve a
clientele meeting CDBG eligibility requirements. The Department of Economic
Sustainability has identified surplus CDBG funding in the amount of $150,000. These funds were recaptured from a project
that did not move forward. Due to
limited Ad Valorem and other revenue for County projects, Staff is recommending
that these funds be approved to renovate the San Castle Community Center. These are Federal CDBG grant funds which
require no local match. (Strategic Planning) District 7 (JB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to 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 (Fibex LLC Project), Series 2015A and Series 2015B in
the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding $3,000,000 for the purpose of
providing funds to make a loan to Fibex LLC (the "Borrower") to
finance certain costs incurred or to be incurred by Fibex LLC in connection
with the acquisition, renovation and equipping of certain manufacturing
facilities and to 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: On January 13,
2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conducted a Tax Equity &
Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) Public Hearing concerning the issuance of up
$3,500,000 in Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. The BCC also approved the Borrower’s
application for the issuance of the Bonds. Bond proceeds will be used to
acquire, renovate and equip a manufacturing facility to be located at 862 West
13th Court in Riviera Beach. The Bonds
will be payable solely from revenues derived by 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
Bonds. District 7 (PFK)

B) authorize staff to issue a new Request for Proposals
(RFP) for Ryan White Part A and MAI funding in the Local Supplemental Drug and
Nutritional Assistance service category for the period commencing March 1,
2017.
SUMMARY: This item revises recommended awards approved by the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) on February 3, 2015 (3E-6). The revisions are necessary to
reallocate $107,170 of the funds awarded to Compass, Inc. in the categories of
Laboratory Diagnostic Testing and Outpatient Ambulatory Medical Care. Compass has informed staff that they are
unable to provide services in these categories as proposed. The designated amount is being reallocated to
FoundCare, Inc. ($31,344), Florida Department of Health ($26,082), and AIDS
Healthcare Foundation, Inc. ($49,744), in accordance with RFP rankings. The total amount of grant funds being awarded
in Part A of this item is unchanged from the previously approved item. The provider contracts will be submitted for Board approval on a future
BCC agenda. The authorization requested
in Part B of the motion will provide additional time for compliance with new
federal requirements applicable to drug and nutritional support. In the interim period, the Health Care District
of Palm Beach County will provide the described services on a continuation
basis. A contract revision for this
purpose will be presented at a future meeting.
These are 100% federal grant-funded services. (Ryan White) Countywide (HH)

Nominees
David Baker
APPOINT TWO Alan Johnson
Bruce Lewis
SUMMARY: The Commission on
Ethics (COE) requested the COE Ordinance Drafting Committee meet to consider
the above referenced amendment at its meeting on March 5, 2015. The law
currently provides that legally sufficient complaints proceed to a Probable
Cause Hearing held by the COE. If the COE finds probable cause, the
matter goes to full hearing which can be heard either by the full COE, or by
three COE members selected by the Chair. The proposed amendment would
allow the accused to opt to have a Hearing Officer preside over the final
hearing. As proposed by the COE, hearing officers would be selected from
a pool created by the Palm Beach County Bar Association. Countywide (LB)
