PAGE             ITEM

 

33                    5A-2                DELETED: Staff recommends motion to approve: A) an Economic Development Incentive Agreement with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation for the period of June 21, 2011 to December 31, 2017, providing an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption of up to $133,475 over a three year period, and providing an economic development incentive in the amount of $13,300;….(DES) (Further staff review)

 

35                    5B-2*              ADD-ON, REVISED TITLE: Staff recommends motion to approve: assignment of contract with RCC Consultants, Inc. (RCC) for planning and engineering services associated with the Countywide Public Safety Radio System (R-2014-1463 1462). SUMMARY: RCC Consultants, Inc. has advised the County that their Tallahassee Branch Office has separated from the corporate group and RCC Consultants, Inc. desires to assign the Palm Beach County contract to the newly formed company, Omnicom Consulting Group, Inc. (OCG). OCG will assume all of the contractual requirements of RCC contract and staff has reviewed the request and OCG has the proper license and insurance. The Tallahassee Branch Office represented RCC in the original selection and makes up the entirety of the Team assigned to the County to perform under this contract. As such, there is essentially no impact of this assignment on the County in terms of personnel or assigned or available resources. Staff recommends assigning the RCC contract to OCG so that the County does not lose the unique knowledge of the existing system and user requirements for the P25 migration project and provide continuity for the remainder of County projects underway pursuant to this contract. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide (JM) (FDO)

 

35                    5C-1               DELETED: Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on May 19, 2015, at 9:30a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending section 17-116 of the Code of Laws and Ordinances; codifying the Tourist Development Ordinance of Palm Beach County, Ordinance 95-30, as amended; providing for an amendment to the tourist development plan of categories used; percentage of yearly revenue, and special allocations; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for enforcement; providing for penalties; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. (TDC) (Further staff review)

 


36                    5D-2               REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY (2nd): Staff requests Board direction: regarding adoption of a resolution supporting proposed legislation providing a statewide prohibition on hydraulic fracturing, acid fracturing, and similar high pressure well stimulation practices performed for the purpose of exploration or production of oil or natural gas in the State of Florida and supporting legislation providing for the prohibition. SUMMARY: Commissioners Burdick and McKinlay has have requested Board consideration of a resolution supporting legislation banning oil and gas drilling practices commonly referred to as “fracking” in the State of Florida.  Resolutions for this purpose have been passed by several counties including Miami-Dade, Alachua, Leon, St. Lucie, Madison, Hamilton, and Union. The pending legislation prohibiting these drilling practices (SB 166 by Soto and HB 169 by Jenne) is being considered in the current legislative session along with various bills providing for additional regulation and permitting of fracking activities (CS/HB 1205 by Rodrigues and SB 1468 by Richter).  A resolution supporting a prohibition for this purpose would state the potential risk of contamination of groundwater resources and drinking water aquifers and the importance of protecting Florida’s natural resources. It would urge the Florida Legislature to enact SB 166, HB 169 or similar legislation prohibiting fracking.  Countywide (DW) (Admin)

C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: the Second Amendment to the street lighting design annual contract R2013-0658 with Electrical Design Associates, Inc. (Consultant), whose original contract was dated June 4, 2013.  SUMMARY:  Approval of this second amendment to the annual contract will extend the required professional services for one year, on a task order basis.  This Amendment with the Consultant will extend the contract period from June 4, 2015, through June 3, 2016.  This Amendment is the second and final renewal of two possible one year renewals contemplated in the original contract. The Consultant is a Palm Beach County company and is certified as a small business enterprise. Countywide (MRE)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve a Contract with Shoreline Foundation, Inc. (Shoreline) in the amount of $4,064,012.40 for the construction of County Road 880 Twenty Mile Bend Slope Protection (Project);

 

B) adopt a Resolution to approve the Local Agency Program Supplemental Agreement Number One (Supplement) with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to add $1,051,065 of grant funding for the construction and construction engineering inspection of the Project; and

 

C) approve a Budget Amendment of $1,051,065 in the Transportation Improvement Fund to recognize the Supplement with FDOT and appropriate it to the Project.

 

SUMMARY: Approval of this Contract will allow Palm Beach County to issue a notice to proceed to Shoreline, a Broward County company, to begin construction of the Project. The Palm Beach County Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all projects is 15%, but the responsive bidders cannot be ranked for SBE compliance for this Project due to federal funding restrictions. However, they will be using four Palm Beach County companies as subcontractors on this project. Adoption of the Supplement will allow Palm Beach County to receive a total of $3,282,283 in grant funding for the Project. Approval of the Budget Amendment will recognize the Supplement and appropriate it to the Project. The County will be responsible for all costs above the grant amount. District 6 (MRE)

1.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Notice of Award No. 2 H89HA00034-22-00 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), for the budget period March 1, 2015, through February 28, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $5,975,290, for new and existing programs to continue improving health outcomes for clients.  Summary:  On October 21, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners ratified the Mayor’s signature on the Ryan White Part A HIV Emergency Relief Grant Program application (R2014-1558).  A partial notice of award was received from the HRSA issuing grant amount of $5,975,290.  This amount represents approximately 80% of the final award.  These funds will provide for new programs and maintain all existing programs, increase funding for health insurance premiums, deductibles and co-payments.  The grant will allow Community Services to continue providing needed medical and support services to Palm Beach County residents living with HIV/AIDS.  The grant end date will be changed to February 29, 2016 with the notification of final award, since this is only the partial award.  No County match is required. (Ryan White) Countywide (HH)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Contracts for Provision of Ryan White Part A HIV Health Support Services with the below listed agencies, for the period March 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016, totaling $744,495:

 

A)  Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County, Inc., for Legal Services in an amount not to exceed $289,245; and

 

B)  Treasure Coast Health Council, Inc. d/b/a Health Council of Southeast Florida in an amount not to exceed $455,250.

 

Summary:  A notice of grant award was received on February 6, 2015, from the U.S Health and Human Services Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), issuing a partial award in the amount of $5,975,290 in Formula, Supplemental and Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funding.  An additional grant award will be issued at a later date.  These contracts are being funded based on level funding from the prior grant year.  The contracts will be amended and the budget will be aligned once the final notice of award has been received. These agencies are selected and recommended for contracting through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process.  These contracts cover services for HIV affected clients which includes medical case management, medical care, pharmacy oral health care, and substance abuse treatment. These contracts represent a modified reimbursement methodology to track actual cost of service instead of units delivered. The change is in response to HRSA site visit report resulting in increased scrutiny and oversight of program and administrative expenses. Employees Kimberly Rommel-Enright and Vicki Tucci of Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County, Inc., and Julie Graham of Treasure Coast Health Council, Inc., d/b/a  Health Council of Southeast Florida serve on a County Advisory Board, the HIV CARE Council. The HIV CARE Council provides no regulation, oversight, management, or policy-setting recommendations regarding the agency contracts listed above.  Disclosure of these contractual relationships at a duly noticed public meeting is being provided in accordance with the provisions of Sect. 2-443, of the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics.

E.        COMMUNITY SERVICES (Cont’d)

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) ratify the signature of the Mayor on State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Federally Funded Subgrant Agreement No. 15EA-0F-10-60-01-023, for the period April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $3,192,053, for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); and

 

B) approve Budget Amendment of $1,585,152 in the LIHEAP Fund to reconcile the budget.

 

Summary: LIHEAP funds of $3,192,053 will enable Community Action Program to provide assistance to approximately 9,000 low income households with energy bills and crisis assistance to prevent service disconnection or to restore utility services. The emergency signature process was utilized because there was insufficient time to submit this application through the regular agenda process.  County funds are not required. (Community Action Program) Countywide (HH)

 

 

4.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Amendment No. 1 to the Contract for Provision of Ryan White Part A HIV Support Services with Health Care District of Palm Beach County, Inc. (R2014-0587), for the period March 1, 2014, through July 31, 2015, increasing funding by $100,000 for a new total contract amount not to exceed $544,031. Summary:  This Amendment is necessary in order to extend the current contract with the Health Care District of Palm Beach County, Inc. (HCD) to ensure a continuation of services as the Department of Community Services transitions to a new provider of local pharmacy services.  Due to federal requirements for registering a new provider for the Ryan White Drug Reimbursement Program, new providers cannot be registered until April 2015, for services commencing July 2015.  The contract extension with HCD is necessary to ensure continued availability of medications for Ryan White clients. This Amendment was executed by the Deputy County Administrator in accordance with Resolution R2013-0519, which delegates signatory authority to the County Administrator or his designee.  This receive and file item is being submitted in accordance with County Wide PPM No. CW-O-051 to allow the Clerk’s office to note and receive the executed amendment. No County funds are required. (Ryan White) Countywide (HH)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Fourth Amendment to Terminal Building Lease Agreement (R2011-1160) (Fourth Amendment) with the General Services Administration, an executive agency of the United States of America, for the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) operations at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA). SUMMARY: The Terminal Building Lease Agreement provides for the lease of office and support space for the TSA at PBIA. The Fourth Amendment relocates a portion of the TSA leasehold, resulting in a net increase of 69 square feet; delays rental commencement by two months in certain areas; and reduces the construction reimbursement to reflect actual cost incurred. Countywide (HJF)

 

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Second Amendment to Short-Term Lease Agreement with Enterprise Leasing Company of Florida, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, d/b/a National Car Rental (Enterprise) (R2014-0591) (Lease) (Second Amendment) providing for additional renewal terms for the lease of property located at 2401 Turnage Boulevard at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) (Turnage Property).  SUMMARY: The Lease currently provides for two one-month renewal terms. The Second Amendment increases the number of renewal terms to a total of eight one-month renewals, which would extend the term of the Lease to October 28, 2015, if all renewal terms are exercised.  The monthly rental for each month the Lease is renewed is $17,261.

3.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file:  notice of exercise of the sixth option to extend the term of the Lease Agreement with Theodore W. Winsberg and Gertrude K. Winsberg (R99-842D) for one year for rent of $1/yr. SUMMARY:  In 1996, the County purchased 175 acres of property from the Winsbergs for the development of the Water Utilities Department’s Green Cay Wetlands Water Reclamation project.  The property is located off Hagen Ranch Road between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue.  The Board approved the original Lease Agreement in May of 1999 (R99-842D), which allowed the Winsbergs to continue to farm the property until the Water Utilities Department (WUD) was ready to construct its project.  Over time, as WUD constructed phases of the Water Reclamation Project, the area leased to the Winsbergs was reduced and the Winsbergs currently lease approximately 60 acres.  The next phase of the Water Reclamation Project is not expected to be implemented within the next four years. In April of 2008, the Board approved the Fourth Amendment (R2008-0629) which extended the term of the Lease Agreement through May 1, 2010, and provided the Winsbergs with ten additional one-year options to extend for one year each.  Exercising this sixth option will extend the term of the Lease Agreement through May 1, 2016.  The Winsbergs have the right to exercise their option and the Board has no discretionary authority to not allow the exercise of the option.  The County will continue to have the right to terminate this Lease upon 120 days notice.  The annual rental rate for this extension will continue to be $1/yr.  Four one-year options remain available to the Winsbergs. WUD supports the extension and will continue to have administrative responsibility for this Lease.  All other terms of the Lease Agreement remain in full force and effect.

SUMMARY:  The County is in the process of developing Waterway Park property located on East Indiantown Road, west of and adjacent to the Intercoastal Waterway, in unincorporated Jupiter.  As a condition of obtaining environmental permits for the project, the County was required to record a Conservation Easement over 3.85 acres of the Park which contain wetlands.  Subsequently, the County completed the Fullerton Island Environmental Restoration project on an island owned by the Town of Jupiter within the Intracoastal Waterway. The project produced mitigation credits for the creation of seagrass and mangrove habitat, 50% of which have been approved by the Town of Jupiter to be used by the County on other County mitigation projects.  A portion of those mangrove mitigation credits are being used to release .34 acres of the existing 3.85 acre Conservation Easement on Waterway Park.

5.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with the Sheriff of Palm Beach County (Sheriff) for the provision of food and laundry services to the County’s Homeless Resource Center n/k/a the Senator Philip D. Lewis Center (Lewis Center) located at 1000 45th Street, West Palm Beach.  SUMMARY:  Since July 2, 2012 when the Lewis Center opened, the County has been meeting its obligation to Lewis Center’s Lead Operator (Goodwill) to: (i) produce meals meeting established dietary guidelines for adults and juveniles; and (ii) provide laundry service for bedding and towels, via an Agreement with the Sheriff (R2012-0885).  Staff is recommending that the County continue to meet its obligations to Goodwill for food and laundry services through the use of the Sheriff’s facilities at the Main Detention Center (MDC) for another three year period.  The Sheriff’s contracted food service provider (Food Service Provider) will produce the meals on-demand for the Lewis Center. This Agreement requires that: (i) the Sheriff provide the County with meals and linens for use at the Lewis Center; (ii) the County order and pick-up meals and linens from the MDC; (iii) the County reimburse the Sheriff for out of pocket expenses associated with production of meals actually ordered; and (iv) the County reimburse the Sheriff for out of pocket costs for lost trays and/or linens.  The Agreement permits both the County and the Sheriff, upon mutual agreement, to delegate each of their administrative and logistical responsibilities to the Director of Facilities Development & Operations and the Major, Corrections Operations, respectively. Certain administrative responsibilities such as the ordering, meal preparation, serving of meals and transport duties can be further assigned to Goodwill and the Sheriff’s Food Service Provider.  The term of the Agreement commences on June 19, 2015 and continues for three years, with an expiration date of June 18, 2018, or until the expiration of the Food Service Provider’s contract, whichever occurs first.  The Agreement may be terminated by either party, with or without cause with a minimum of thirty days notice. Due to this being an on-demand contract with no minimum purchase requirement, the County is free to order as many or little meals as they desire, allowing the County to utilize alternate food production sources/approaches as determined to be appropriate on a case by case or longer term basis.

B) approve the Restated Lease Agreement with the Town.

 

SUMMARY: Beginning in 1999, the Town leased 1.5 ± acres from the County pursuant to Lease Agreement R1999-570D for its Pine Gardens Park.  The Lease was extended in 2009 (R2009-0421) and provided for automatic one year renewals. Recently, the Town approached the County seeking to renovate and improve the park and playground and to extend the term in order to qualify the project for grant funding. The Restated Lease Agreement extends the term to April 8, 2025, with five one-year renewal options. In exchange for the extended Term, the Town agreed to update park signage, include Library-themed stamped designs in the concrete pathways of the park, and to permit the Library to reserve and use the park and park pavilions for Library events. The annual rent is One Dollar ($1). Tenant is solely responsible for all maintenance and repair of the property and improvements. The Restated Lease may be terminated by either party with one hundred twenty days notice: 1) if Tenant fails to commence the improvements within ninety days, and 2) at any time after the conclusion of the initial term. Other than the changes set forth herein, the Restated Lease remains the same. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

A) a First Amendment to Mortgage and Security Agreement and Modification of Promissory Note with Vista Del Lago Limited Partnership (VDLLP) to extend the maturity date from April 30, 2015 to September 30, 2015; and

 

B) delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or his designee, to execute a Satisfaction of Mortgage in favor of VDLLP subject to the receipt of $150,000 no later than September 30, 2015.

 

Summary: On December 19, 1995, the County entered into a cash flow dependent Loan Agreement (R95-1780D) with VDLLP to provide $161,926 in State Housing Initiative Partnership Program funds towards the construction of a 58 unit affordable housing project.  The project, known as Vista Del Lago, is located at 1701 North Flagler Drive, in West Palm Beach.  This three percent (3%) cash flow dependent loan matures on April 30, 2015.  It was secured on January 17, 1996, by a Mortgage and Security Agreement (County Mortgage) and a Promissory Note from VDLLP.  As of March 31, 2015, $161,926 and $92,948.37, in principal and accrued and deferred interest, respectively, are owed.  Insufficient cash flow from the project has precluded the receipt of any payments by the County.  In order to enforce the mortgage, the County would be required to foreclose on the County Mortgage.  Extending the maturity date of the County Mortgage to September 30, 2015, will avert foreclosure by allowing VDLLP to refinance the project and pay the County $150,000 in exchange for a Satisfaction of Mortgage.  It is uncertain that the County would receive any funds through a foreclosure process given the County’s junior mortgage position.  Staff is recommending acceptance of a payment which is less than the total amount owed in order to assist VDLLP to obtain the refinancing it needs to successfully operate this affordable housing project.  The County’s required affordability period will survive until January 17, 2026.  Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or his designee, will streamline the process of issuance of the Satisfaction of Mortgage provided VDLLP makes its payment no later than September 30, 2015. The original funding was provided from the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program which required no local match.

B) delegate authority to the County Administrator, or his designee, to execute the documents necessary to accomplish the aforesaid.

 

Summary: On March 1, 2005, the County entered into a cash flow dependent Loan Agreement (R2005-0463) with ETL to provide $262,000 in State Housing Initiative Partnership Program funds towards the construction of a 262 unit affordable housing rental project. The project, known as Malibu Bay, was completed in 2005 and is located at 750 West Executive Center Drive, in West Palm Beach.  This three percent (3%) cash flow dependent loan matures on December 31, 2020.  It was secured on March 30, 2005, by a Mortgage and Security Agreement (County Mortgage) and a Promissory Note from ETL.  ETL intends to refinance the first mortgage on the property with a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) insured loan from Walker & Dunlop, LLC, which will not exceed the principal amount of the original first mortgage.  The County, which holds a third mortgage, and the other subordinate lenders have been requested to extend the maturity dates of their mortgages and to subordinate to the new financing.  The County’s lien position will not change, nor will there be any changes to the County’s loan documents except the extension of the maturity date, the addition of a monitoring fee to be paid to the County in the amount of $7,500 annually. Staff recommends approval to preserve this important affordable housing project.

11.       Staff recommends motion to approve: a Settlement/Service Agreement with PFBG, LLC (Owner). Summary: The old Belle Glade hospital was recently purchased by PFBG, LLC who plans to develop the property, which will result in significant economic benefits to the Glades Region of the County. The previous property owner incurred water and wastewater charges of $289,565.88 dating back to 2010 that were never paid. The vast majority of the charges resulted from base charges and late fees that were incurred prior to the absorption of the Glades Utility Authority (GUA) by the County in May of 2013. According to County Policy, liens were placed on the property. Based on the age of the unpaid potable water and wastewater service charges it is in the County's best interest to negotiate a settlement of these liens. Staff is recommending a Settlement in the amount of $144,782.94 due to the age of the charges and the fact that they were incurred prior to assumption of the GUA. District 6 (MJ)

Summary: On June 21, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved an Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption (R2011-0944) for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) in an amount not to exceed an estimated $146,775 over a three year period, for real property and tangible personal property improvements undertaken in the company’s $10.3 Million expansion of their existing facility in unincorporated Palm Beach County.  Due to the timing of the tax rolls, Staff is recommending that $13,300 of the $146,775 be provided in the form of a Job Growth Incentive (JGI) Grant to meet the State’s Refund Schedule.  The exemption, together with the incentive payments, will serve as the local financial support for the State of Florida’s commitment to the company of $698,000 under the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program (QTI).  The County’s approval required Sikorsky to make a minimum $10.3 Million capital investment, create 14 new jobs over a three year period at an annualized average wage of $80,000, and maintain those jobs for three years, as well as retain 81 existing jobs for three years.  The Agreement is retroactive to June 21, 2011, and acknowledges that Sikorsky has completed the real property and personal property improvements.  As required under Palm Beach County’s Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program implemented by the BCC through adoption of Ordinance 2013-022, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation has filed an application with the Property Appraiser’s (PA) office, and the PA has issued a determination that the project meets the requirements under Florida Statute 196.012 for an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption. The Regional Economic Model estimates that this expansion project will have a five year economic impact of $172.3 Million. District 1 (JB)

B.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Deposit Receipt and Contract For Sale and Purchase with Lake Ida Tract, LLC for the sale of approximately five acres of vacant land adjacent to Lake Ida Park for $500,000.  As an alternative, the City of Delray Beach has recently expressed interest in acquiring the property, which Staff does not recommend.  SUMMARY The County owns approximately five acres of surplus vacant land at the north end of Lake Ida Park.  This property is separated from the rest of the Park by a canal and has no legal access.  The most recent appraisal valued the property at $480,000.  Lake Ida Tract, LLC, the principal of which is Lak Kalra who also owns the adjoining property, was the sole bidder on a recent IFB with a bid of $500,000.  On October 21, 2014, the Board rejected Lake Ida Tract’s Bid and chose to sell the property to the City of Boynton Beach for $100,000.  Subsequently the Boynton Beach City Council voted against purchasing the property. The City of Delray Beach has now indicated a desire to purchase the property upon the terms initially proposed by Boynton Beach.  The sale of this property has become a contentious issue between two factions within the larger community – those wanting to create a bikeway/greenway connecting residential communities and public facilities within Boynton, Delray and Boca Raton; and the adjoining property owner and residents within the neighboring Boynton residential development that oppose a neighborhood park, greenway and any connection to Lake Ida Park.  The opposition fears an increase in traffic and potential for loitering/vandalism/crime.  Mr. Kalra has stated that he will never allow access through his adjoining property for the park and greenway.  Staff again recommends the sale of the property to Lake Ida Tract, LLC as it will generate substantially more revenue for the County than Delray Beach’s proposal.  This sale must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners).

2.         ADD-ON, REVISED TITLE: Staff recommends motion to approve: assignment of contract with RCC Consultants, Inc. (RCC) for planning and engineering services associated with the Countywide Public Safety Radio System (R2014-1463 1462). SUMMARY: RCC Consultants, Inc. has advised the County that their Tallahassee Branch Office has separated from the corporate group and RCC Consultants, Inc. desires to assign the Palm Beach County contract to the newly formed company, Omnicom Consulting Group, Inc. (OCG). OCG will assume all of the contractual requirements of RCC contract and staff has reviewed the request and OCG has the proper license and insurance. The Tallahassee Branch Office represented RCC in the original selection and makes up the entirety of the Team assigned to the County to perform under this contract. As such, there is essentially no impact of this assignment on the County in terms of personnel or assigned or available resources. Staff recommends assigning the RCC contract to OCG so that the County does not lose the unique knowledge of the existing system and user requirements for the P25 migration project and provide continuity for the remainder of County projects underway pursuant to this contract.

1.         DELETED: Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on May 19, 2015, at 9:30a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending section 17-116 of the Code of Laws and Ordinances; codifying the Tourist Development Ordinance of Palm Beach County, Ordinance 95-30, as amended; providing for an amendment to the tourist development plan of categories used; percentage of yearly revenue, and special allocations; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for enforcement; providing for penalties; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: This Ordinance provides for the transfer of funds from the first (1st) percent of the bed tax and the amendment of the Tourist Development Plan which will provide for the expenditure of one (1) cent of “bed” tax revenues to be used for one or more of the authorized uses pursuant to Florida Statutes, 125.0104(5): AUTHORIZED USES OF REVENUE in Palm Beach County and a few other minor housekeeping language corrections and one correction to the Cultural Council’s percentage that was a typographical error.

1.         Staff requests Board direction: a request by the City of Pahokee for $13,000 to provide sports field lighting for their municipal fields and if approved, authorizing a budget transfer from the General Fund Contingency Reserve to fund the request. SUMMARY: This type of request is unusual as it would be expected to be a routine function of a local government to fund such a small amount.  If there is a need to make such a request, it raises questions about the ability of the municipality to function on an ongoing basis.  Pahokee is proposing to use a local contractor which has an ongoing contract for these purposes with the County. District 6

 

 

2.         REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY (2nd): Staff requests Board direction: regarding adoption of a resolution supporting proposed legislation providing a statewide prohibition on hydraulic fracturing, acid fracturing, and similar high pressure well stimulation practices performed for the purpose of exploration or production of oil or natural gas in the State of Florida and supporting legislation providing for the prohibition. SUMMARY: Commissioners Burdick and McKinlay has have requested Board consideration of a resolution supporting legislation banning oil and gas drilling practices commonly referred to as “fracking” in the State of Florida.  Resolutions for this purpose have been passed by several counties including Miami-Dade, Alachua, Leon, St. Lucie, Madison, Hamilton, and Union. The pending legislation prohibiting these drilling practices (SB 166 by Soto and HB 169 by Jenne) is being considered in the current legislative session along with various bills providing for additional regulation and permitting of fracking activities (CS/HB 1205 by Rodrigues and SB 1468 by Richter).  A resolution supporting a prohibition for this purpose would state the potential risk of contamination of groundwater resources and drinking water aquifers and the importance of protecting Florida’s natural resources. It would urge the Florida Legislature to enact SB 166, HB 169 or similar legislation prohibiting fracking.  Countywide (DW)
