December 31, 2017, providing an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption of up to $133,475 over

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

35 5C-1 DELETED: Staff recommends motion to approve on

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)

& 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)

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. No

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

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

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Second
Amendment to Short-Term Lease Agreement with Enterprise Leasing Company of

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. Countywide (HJF)

requested the abandonment of Amelia Street and Sandy Lane public road rights of
way. FPL currently maintains electric utility facilities within each right-of-way. Consent from the utility companies is
necessary to abandon the road rights of way.
FPL has agreed to issue a letter of no objection to the abandonments,
but is requiring the County to grant an easement for its existing electric
utility facilities currently located within the road rights of way. Countywide

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. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

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

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. (FDO Admin) District 7 (JM)

adjacent to the Jupiter Branch Library at 705 Military Trail for operation of

B) approve
the Restated Lease

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

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. (DES

(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

The old Belle Glade hospital was recently

property owner incurred water and wastewater charges of $289,565.88 dating back

unpaid potable water and wastewater service charges it is in the County's best

habitats will be created within the park with a focus on passive public
recreation. This environmental restoration and park development program is also
essential for the establishment of a Natural Areas Management Plan for
Okeeheelee Park South for the prevention of wildfires. Funding for these budget
transfers is from the three Park Impact Fee Zones. There is no longer a need to utilize most of

improvements undertaken in the company’s $10.3 Million expansion of their

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

requirements have been met; providing for the amount of revenue available from
Ad Valorem Tax sources for the current Fiscal Year; providing for the amount of
revenue lost by virtue of the economic development Ad Valorem Tax exemptions
currently in effect; providing for the estimated revenue lost attributable to

providing for an effective date. Summary: On May 21, 2013, the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) approved an Economic Development Incentive Grant
Agreement (R2013-0632) with Florida South Division, LLC (FSD), a distribution
center and regional headquarters serving the ALDI, Inc. stores in South
Florida, for an incentive in the amount of $1.7 Million in the form of an Ad
Valorem Tax Exemption over a seven year period. The Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption is for real property and tangible personal property improvements
undertaken in the company’s construction of a 650,000 sf distribution center
and regional headquarters in Royal Palm Beach. The Agreement requires the
company to make a minimum $55 Million capital investment, create 95 new full-time
equivalent jobs over a three year period at an annualized average wage of
$46,100, and maintain those jobs for a period of five years. As required
under Palm Beach County’s Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program
implemented by the BCC through adoption of Ordinance 2013-022, FSD 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 (attached as Exhibit B to the proposed
Ordinance). This Ordinance is being presented to the BCC as required by
State statute. District 6 (JB)

AGENDA
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). (PREM) Districts

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. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide (JM)

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)
