Authorization No. 10 provides for the construction of a 24" reclaimed water main along a 10-ft
wide easement on the south side of Valencia Cove South (north side of L-30
Canal) from Lyons Road to the west side of the Florida’s Turnpike. The
Project is needed to complete the loop of the reclaimed water system to enhance
system reliability in the surrounding areas. The Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance
(R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The
contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc. provides for SBE participation of
16.56%. Work Authorization No. 10 includes 16% overall participation. The cumulative
SBE participation including this Authorization is 13.07% overall. Centerline
Utilities, Inc. is a not Palm Beach County company. The Project is included in the FY16 Capital
Improvement Plan adopted by the BCC. (WUD Project No. 15-078) District 5 (MJ) (WUD)

49 5F-1 REVISED SUMMARY: Staff requests Board direction on: a
Resolution supporting a request for legislative appropriation for engineering
design and permitting costs of a navigational structure linking the C-51 Canal
and the five lakes comprising the Chain of Lakes, with the Lake Worth Lagoon
and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. SUmmary: Municipalities which
border the Chain of Lakes seek to make a navigational connection to the Lake
Worth Lagoon (Lagoon). The most likely point of such connection would be at the
S-155 structure on the C-51 Canal (Canal).
This Resolution offers support for legislative appropriation for money
to perform an engineering design for a navigational connection, likely a boat
lift, between the Canal and the Lagoon.
This Resolution was requested by the Board in support of a project
being considered by municipalities bordering the canal. The project is not currently a County project
and it is not recommended that the County assume responsibility for the
project. A feasibility study conducted
by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and a memo describing trail and
blueway activities underway and planned for the Environmental Resources
Management Department are attached to the item as backup. District 3

motion to:
A) ratify signature of the
Mayor on the Ryan White Part A HIV Emergency Relief Grant Program Application

Resources Services Administration, for the period March 1, 2016, through
February 28, 2017, in an amount of $9,269,663; and

A) Grant Agreement
Amendment No. 1 for the FY 2014 Continuum of Care Program Competition Agreement
for Project No. FL0281L4D051407, Flagler Project, with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, for the period May 1, 2015, through April 30,
2016 in the amount of $393,309 to change the recipient of the grant to The
Jerome Golden Center Behavioral Health, Inc.; and
B) Grant Agreement
Amendment No. 1 for the FY 2014 Continuum of Care Program Competition Agreement
for Project No. FL0277L4D051402, Project Northside, with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, for the period July 1, 2015, through June 30,
2016 in the amount of $84,491 to change the recipient of the grant to The
Jerome Golden Center Behavioral Health, Inc.
Summary: Since 2006, the
Division of Human Services (DHS) has served as the lead agency for the local homeless
Continuum of Care. Originally,
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) restricted Shelter Plus Care applicant eligibility to government entities;
therefore, the County served as the original grantee. With the reauthorization of the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to
Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009, eligibility is no longer restricted to a
government agency. The Jerome Golden
Center for Behavioral Health, Inc. is the sponsor that has carried out these
activities funded by these projects. HUD
has reviewed the projects and determined that The Jerome Golden Center for
Behavioral Health, Inc. will offer the same level of services to the same
number of homeless clients as set forth in the original application. The Jerome Golden Center Behavioral Health,
Inc. will continue to provide apartments for single adults suffering from
mental illness. These grant amendments were executed by the County
Administrator in accordance with Board of County Commissioners’ approval granting
signature authority to the County Administrator, or her designee on September
1, 2015 (Agenda Item 3E-2). The grant amendments are being submitted in
accordance with Countywide PPM No. CW-O-051 to allow the
Clerk’s office to note and receive these items. (Human Services) Countywide (HH)

radio equipment maintenance services. The City recently voted to transition its
police services from the City to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) which
transition is intended to be effective on February 1, 2016. Consequently, the City requested the Direct
Access Agreement and the Maintenance Agreement be terminated on February 1,
2016 and that the FY 2016 use fees, renewal/replacement fees and console
maintenance fees be prorated through the date of
termination. This Agreement sets forth the conditions for the early termination
and authorizes pro rata payment (October 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016) of
the annual fees. This is particularly important to the City as without it, the
City would be required to pay the entire year’s worth of use fees,
renewal/replacement fees and console maintenance fees. In the event the transition to PBSO is not
finalized by January 31, 2016, the City can request a modification of the
termination date and the proration of annual fee payments due will be adjusted
accordingly. The City also retains the right to cancel the Agreement up to
February 1, 2016 in which case the City shall remit the balance due on the
annual fee payments. The City is required to convey two radio consoles and
radio console central electronic bank equipment to County on February 1, 2016

corporation, qualified to do business in Florida, for onsite integrated
inventory management services for the Fleet Management Division at an estimated
annual cost of $2,739,000. SUMMARY: This Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions under which NAPA will continue to provide comprehensive in-house
store automotive parts functions for Facilities Development &
Operations/Fleet Management (FDO/Fleet) to include all materials, equipment,
parts and supplies required for the operation and maintenance of the County’s
fleet with no less than an eighty percent (80%) in-stock availability for all
parts requested. NAPA has consistently
met or exceeded this measurement since implementation of the full services
phase of the 2012 agreement. County fill
rate prior to NAPA assumption of services averaged 66%. The higher fill rate
decreases equipment downtime and increases the productivity of the technicians.
NAPA will provide on-going review and adjustment of inventory; access to
automotive and heavy-duty replacement parts; and delivery of non-stocked parts.
The Agreement provides that the County will pay NAPA: (i) 10% above both
NAPA product costs and Non-NAPA product costs, and (ii) operational
costs that are included within the annual budget approved by the County during
its normal budget process. NAPA has been providing these services since
implementation of the full services provision of the current Vehicle and
Equipment Parts Management and Supply Agreement (R2012-1322) in 2012. This Agreement is substantially the same as
the current agreement except for changes intended to clarify both intent and
reflect the continuation of the original agreement which is effective through
February 23, 2016. The term of this
Agreement commences on February 24, 2016 and continues through July 21, 2019
with an automatic one year renewal, unless notice of intent to not renew is
provided by either party at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the
initial term. This Agreement is made in
accordance with the Palm Beach County Purchasing Code, which authorizes the
County to purchase supplies from a competitively bid proposal or contract
secured by another governmental entity or government-related association, in
this case the National Joint Powers Alliance Contract No. 061015-GPC. The
Agreement contains local preference language for all Non-NAPA products
purchased by FDO/Fleet and during the most recent year of the contract, NAPA

motion to adopt: a
Resolution authorizing the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) to
utilize the State of Florida’s Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credit (VCTC) Program to
actively support the cleanup and redevelopment of designated Brownfield sites
within the County for business growth and expansion opportunities. SUMMARY: The VCTC Program was
established in 1998 by the Florida Legislature to incentivize the cleanup of
certain Brownfield or dry-cleaning-solvent-contaminated sites in designated
Brownfield areas. A tax credit applicant
can receive up to $500,000 per year in tax credits or no more than 50% of
eligible cleanup costs for a calendar year.
Completed tax credit applications are submitted to the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) which reviews the application and
issues the tax credit. Applicants must meet program eligibility
criteria and must enter into either a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement, or a
Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreement with FDEP. Tax credit certificates are awarded by the FDEP
from an annual $5 Million authorization and are valid against Florida Corporate
Income Tax. Local governments that apply
for and receive tax credits to offset cleanup costs at eligible Brownfield
sites typically sell their tax credits for between 80-85% of the face value of
the tax credit. Funds received from the
sale of these tax credits will replenish the County’s Brownfields Revolving
Loan Fund Program. The County is
involved in a number of current and anticipated brownfield cleanup projects
that could benefit from these tax credits to offset cleanup costs. This Program will serve as an additional
economic development incentive program to redevelop brownfield sites throughout
the County. No County funds for implementation are required. (DES

motion to approve:
A) First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement between
Palm Beach County and the Town of Lake Clarke Shores related to Potable Water,
Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Service Areas; and
B) First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement between
Palm Beach County and the Town of Lake
Clarke Shores for the Purchase and Sale of Bulk Potable Water.
Summary: On July 7, 2009, the County and the Town of
Lake Clarke Shores (Town) entered into an Interlocal Agreement related to
Potable Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Service Areas (Service Area
Agreement) (R2009-1123). Pursuant to the
Service Area Agreement, potable water service to the Maralago Cay Service Area
(MCSA) is to be provided by the County if the private utility currently
providing said service ever discontinues said service. The First Amendment to the Service Area
Agreement will substitute the Town as the successor potable water provider. Water Utilities Department (WUD) and the Town
believe that it is in the best interest of both the Town’s and County’s
customers for the Town to provide potable water to the MCSA. Per the Service Area Agreement, the Town is
already designated as the wastewater and reclaimed water provider within the
MCSA. As a result of the proposed Amendment,
the Town will be the single service provider within the MCSA should the current
private utility discontinue potable water service within the MCSA. In addition, on February 2, 2010, the County
and the Town entered into an Interlocal Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of
Bulk Potable Water (Bulk Agreement) (R2010-0206). In order for the Town to provide potable
water service to the MCSA, it is necessary to amend the Bulk Agreement to increase
the bulk amount sold by the County to the Town from 400,000 to 800,000 gallons
per day. In addition, the First
Amendment to the Bulk Agreement will remove the “take or pay” provision of the
Bulk Agreement, as the Town has consistently met WUD’s cost of service
consideration, and will likely continue to do in the future, rendering the
provision unnecessary. District 3 (MJ)

motion to approve: Budget
Transfer of $1,000,000 within Park Impact Fees Zone 3 from Reserves to the John
Prince Park Campground Improvements Phase III project. Summary: This Budget Transfer will provide the funding
necessary to upgrade the existing electrical distribution service at the John
Prince Campground. During the construction process to add new and expand
existing camping sites at the John Prince Park Campground, Lake Worth Utilities
determined that the electrical service distribution line coming into the park
from Congress Avenue must be upgraded from single phase to three phase service
to safely accommodate the higher demand.
This upgrade was also confirmed by the County’s consulting engineer.
Because the distribution line runs through park property serving various park
amenities, the cost of the upgrade is the County’s responsibility. The John Prince Park Campground generates
significant revenue for the Department and is a popular camping destination for
residents countywide and visitors from around the country. The new and expanded
service to the campground is being accomplished in three phases and the first
two have already been completed. To
ensure safe and efficient electrical service to the first two construction
phases of this project and to a future third phase, upgrading the electrical
distribution line is now required. The cost
of the upgrade is estimated at $1 million which was unanticipated and not
budgeted. However, there is sufficient funding for this Budget Transfer within

2) Paragraph 7.c. – The County shall assure that insurance coverage for vehicles is available through either a self-insurance program or insurance purchased by the County except for insurance referenced in paragraph 7.e.;
3) Paragraph 7.d. – The County shall be named as additional insured on any agreement in which the CHD contracts or subcontracts any work to be performed on the premises to a third party; and

Summary: This Contract sets forth the funding responsibilities of the DOH and the
County for the operation of the Palm Beach County Health Department. The State and County share in the funding of
the $7,629,276 environmental health budget.
The State’s share is $2,968,336 (38.9%), primarily from State general
revenue and fees. Funding from the
County’s FY 2016 budget is $2,114,162 (27.7%) that includes Childcare
Enforcement & Control Funding of $126,888 and is a 3% increase compared to
FY 2015 funding. The remaining local share (33.4%) is comprised of County

County funding is used primarily for salaries and benefits. The environmental staffing is responsible for
surveillance of public drinking water systems, permitting and inspection of
septic tanks, regulation of air pollution sources, inspection and licensing of
child care and other group care facilities, and other duties related to
environmental health. The Childcare
Enforcement & Control Funding provides for a full-time Attorney/Hearing
Officer and a half-time paralegal position to provide counsel for the Child
Care Advisory Council and to serve as Acting Environmental Control Officer for
the Environmental Control Hearing Board. County funds are included in the FY
2016 budget. No additional funds are
requested. County staff requested certain changes to the State’s standard
contract in order to clarify the insurance and liability provisions. The State preferred including these in an

fiber to Palm Beach County (County), effective retroactively to October 1, 2015,
through September 30, 2016 with automatic one-year renewals unless
notice is given by either party. SUMMARY:
This agreement provides Internet access via
the Florida LambdaRail network through an interconnection to the County’s
network. This First Amendment has been
revised to include additional language that transfers a portion of SUA’s fiber to
the County in order to assist SUA with an underground fiber connectivity plan
to the County’s North County Courthouse.
There is no change to the County’s annual revenue total of $2,400 for

This agreement provides Internet access via
the Florida LambdaRail network through an interconnection to the County’s
network and also provides secure network access to a 3rd party
location via a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel. This Fifth Amendment will remove the network
services VPN tunnel per PBSC’s request and thereby decrease total annual
service revenue by $1,200 for a revised annual revenue amount of $6,634.80. Although our existing agreement calls for 90
days written notice upon request to terminate for convenience, we are
requesting that termination be approved based on 30 days written notice as our
router for these services is installed at a 3rd party location. The County will continue to provide network

telephone sets utilized in the Head Start program which is now administered by
Lutheran Services of Florida, Inc. in various County-owned facilities. The
revised total annual service revenue will be $16,680 for FY 2016, a net

self-funded HMO and POS health insurance plans for the period January 1, 2017,

B) CHLIC’s proposed administrative, access, utilization, and disease

include a three month fee “holiday,” estimated at $1,293,318 based on current
enrollment; and
C) Postponement of the previously scheduled Request for Proposal for a
period of one year, to be released in the spring of 2017.
SUMMARY: Staff
recommends a one year extension of the current ASO Agreement with CHLIC for the
administration of the County’s self-insured health plan which expires December
31, 2016. The recommendation to extend
the ASO Agreement and postpone the scheduled RFP is in the best interest of the
County because CHLIC has offered a three month fee “holiday” which would result
in a financial benefit for the County in the estimated amount of $431,106.
Also, it would advance the new contract date to January 1, 2018, and provide
staff with an additional year of plan development to allow for a more accurate picture
of the impact the Affordable Care Act’s excise tax, commonly known as the
“Cadillac Tax,” will have on the County’s self-insured health plans. This recommendation encompasses CHLIC’s fixed
administrative fees only. Staff will

costs for plan year 2017 prior to open enrollment in the fall of 2016. Countywide

training for professional practice. The
Residential Treatment & Family Counseling Division of the Youth Services
Department would like to have its internship programs APA accredited by the end
of calendar year 2016. The cost of
accreditation is an eligible expense under this grant program. Also eligible are stipends for intern health
insurance costs and consultation services to aid in the successful navigation
of the accreditation process. On July
21, 2015, the Board approved a grant application (R2015-0934) to the APA and
was notified of the award on October 1, 2015.
Youth Services will use the award to fund the following eligible
costs: application fee for
accreditation, annual accreditation fee, accreditation site visit fee,
consultation services and stipends to existing interns for health insurance. No County local match is required. Countywide

FROM OCTOBER 20, 2015
A. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Ordinance
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
establishing the “Civil Citation for Small Quantity Marijuana Possession
Ordinance”; providing for a title; providing for applicability; providing for
definitions; providing for civil infraction; providing for civil penalties and
enforcement; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for
severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances;
providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners directed
staff to research whether Palm Beach County could enact an ordinance similar to
those being considered by other local jurisdictions, including Miami-Dade
County and West Palm Beach, which provide an alternative penalty for the
possession of small amounts of marijuana and/or marijuana drug
paraphernalia. This Ordinance makes
possession of small amounts of marijuana and/or marijuana drug paraphernalia a
civil infraction, and allows law enforcement the alternative of issuing a civil
citation and imposing a civil fine of $100 on any person, 18 years of age or
older, who possesses 20 grams or less of marijuana and/or marijuana drug
paraphernalia. This item is a
continuation of the public hearing held on October 20, 2015. Countywide (HH)

HEARINGS CONTINUED
E. Staff recommends
motion to:
1) approve the
filing of the FY 2013 ($1,598,755), FY 2014 ($1,686,583) and FY 2015
($1,719,480) Section 5339 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Grant
Application FL-34-0020 for $5,004,818 in capital funds allocated to Palm Beach
County;
2) approve the filing of Standard Form LLL - Disclosure of Lobbying Activities; and
3) delegate authority to the County Administrator or
designee to execute and electronically transmit the Board of County
Commissioner’s affirmation of the grant award and the resulting grant
agreement.
SUMMARY: FTA distributes Section 5339 funds to provide public transportation
capital grants to assist financing capital projects for bus and bus facilities
that will benefit the nation’s transit systems.
The grant will fund the engineering, building and site design, planning/zoning
approvals, permits and a portion of the construction needed for the expansion
of Palm Tran’s South County administrative and maintenance facility, which is
at full capacity. The project will
increase space for administration, training/orientation and provide additional parking
for buses and employees. Both the
building design and planning approval processes are running concurrently. The final planning approval is estimated for
June 2016, and the projected construction completion date is February
2018. The entire amount of this grant
will be used for this project. The grant
requires a 20% local match and submittal of a Standard Form LLL - Disclosure of
Lobbying Activities. The Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) has approved the use of toll revenue
credits as the required local 20% match; therefore, the projects budget lists
the capital projects at 100% cost for the federal share. No
County funds are required. Countywide (DR)

from Shutts and Bowen, LLP.
SUMMARY: On July 7, 2015, the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved a request by The
Related Companies, L.P. (Developer) regarding proposed parking modifications
for the Convention Center Hotel (Hotel).
The project documents contemplate a 630 space one-story garage on a
parcel of land (garage land) east of the hotel site on Florida Avenue. In lieu of the parking garage, the Developer
will construct 255 valet spaces on a surface parking lot and utilize 375 valet
spaces in an existing parking structure in CityPlace, which is owned by the
West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment District. Agreements require the Developer to: 1)
successfully implement the hotel valet parking operation guidelines; 2)
design traffic signals on the west side
of Okeechobee Boulevard and Alabama Avenue; 3) coordinate with the Convention
Center staff on a monthly basis, at a minimum, to ensure the proper and safe
flow of traffic on Florida Avenue; 4)
manage traffic flow on Florida Avenue during peak periods; 5) minimize negative
traffic impact on surrounding roadways; and 6) ensure that hotel deliveries
will not impact Convention Center activities.
After one year of hotel operations, Related will conduct studies to evaluate
traffic circulation and parking to assist the County in determining if parking
modifications are required. Related will
conduct an additional study after two years of joint operations of the Hotel
and Convention Center parking garage. The County will then determine whether or
not to require additional parking facilities on the garage land. The Hotel is
currently scheduled to open in February 2016. District 7 (HF)

Board direction: concerning
a Consent to Use (Consent) which would permit the construction of a healthcare
and assisted living facility for patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s (the Project)
on 100 restricted acres within the Alton Development (formerly known as
Briger). The other beneficiaries
including Scripps, Kolter (KH Alton), the City of Palm Beach Gardens, and the
State of Florida have executed the Consent.
SUMMARY: Clarity Pointe
Development Partners, LLC (CPDP) has entered into a contract with KH Alton to
purchase 6.569 acres within the 100 acre deed restricted parcel to develop the
Project. The deed restriction is subject
to conflicting interpretation by the beneficiaries as to whether it restricts
the property to only those uses that are supportive to bioscience. CPDP has entered into a non-binding
Memorandum of Understanding with Florida Atlantic University, Division of
Research (FAU), which will allow CPDP and FAU to facilitate collaborative
research, and educational and training activities for the Project. On June 23, 2015, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved a Consent to Use (Agenda Item 5F-3), which
permitted the Carrier Corporation to construct a 250,000 sf facility on 30
acres of the 100 deed restricted acres.
The restriction includes language which extends it to February 6, 2026
if 50% of the original 100 acres have been developed for the intended purposes. Should the BCC approve the Consent, the 6.569
acres will count toward the 50% for a total of 36.569% including the UTC
facility. The Consent is substantially
in the same format as that executed for the UTC facility. District 1 (HF)
B. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) an Economic
Development Incentive Agreement with Biomet 3i, LLC (Company), a subsidiary of
Zimmer Inc., in the amount of $250,000 over a four year period;
B) a Budget Transfer of
$250,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves to the Department of
Economic Sustainability Fund Economic Incentive Growth Program; and
C) a Budget Amendment
of $250,000 in the Department of Economic Sustainability Fund to recognize the
funds from the General Fund.
Summary: On June 23, 2015,
the Board of County Commissioners conceptually approved (R2015-0818) an
Economic Development Incentive for the Company totaling $250,000. This Agreement discloses the name of the
Company, Biomet 3i, LLC previously referred to as
Project Bruin. The Agreement requires
the Company to make a minimum $1.895 Million capital investment, create 178 new
full-time jobs over a four year period and retain 473 existing full-time jobs
at an average annualized wage of $83,000 and a median wage of $70,000, and will
maintain the new and existing jobs for five years following the job creation
period. Biomet 3i, LLC is a subsidiary
of Zimmer, Inc. and a world leader in the design and manufacture of orthopedic,
dental and surgical devices. The Company
operates in 25 countries and has net sales of in excess of $3 Billion. The State of Florida is providing a $1
Million in State funding from the Quick Action Closing Fund, and City of Palm
Beach Gardens is providing a portion of the local match as a grant on the
amount of $350,000. This project is
expected to have a five year economic impact of $772 Million. The Company shall, without risk of violating
any laws, make best efforts to develop and implement hiring policies that provide
Palm Beach County residents preference in the hiring process. This Economic Development Incentive Grant
will be secured by a Letter of Credit, Bond, Corporate Guarantee, or equivalent
security. District 1 (JB)

C. PLANNING, ZONING & BUILDING
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution establishing a standard form termination
of removal agreement; authorizing the County Administrator or designee to
execute the standard form Agreement; and becoming effective upon adoption. SUMMARY:
The Resolution establishes a new standard form Agreement for use to
terminate removal agreements that were required to be obtained from the County,
to construct a structure within a County future right-of-way or other easement.
As a condition of issuing a building permit, the County requires a property
owner enter into a removal agreement, where the property owner must remove the
structure that is located in a County future right-of-way or other easement in
the event the right-of-way or easement is needed for use by the County or
easement holder. The termination of
removal agreement is needed when the structure located in the future right-of-way
or easement has been removed. Countywide (AH)
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt an
Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) of
Palm Beach County and the School Board of Palm Beach County for coordinated
school planning; and
B) initiate a Comprehensive Plan amendment to the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element to establish consistency with the Interlocal Agreement for Coordinated
School Planning.
SUMMARY: Section
163.31777, Florida Statues, (F.S.) requires Palm Beach County to enter into an
Interlocal Agreement with the School District for coordinated school planning.
Palm Beach County local governments have relied upon the 2001 ILA (expired in
2011) to meet the previous requirements of School Concurrency. A meeting with the Palm Beach County School
Board, the BCC,
and the League of Cities was held in November 2011 to discuss School
Concurrency, in light of the statutory changes introduced in 2011 by the
Florida Legislature. As a result of this meeting, staff from the Interlocal
Plan Amendment Review Committee (IPARC), which was comprised of staff from
County, City, and School District, began working on an updated ILA. Upon reviewing the existing Concurrency program,
staff could find no statutorily compliant solutions that would ensure managing
the actual impacts of new development. This, along with the rise of charter
schools, and the introduction of choice programs, led staff to consider various
options for coordinated school planning. After extensive meetings between the
local governments and the School District staff, the recommended ILA is the
successor to School Concurrency. This
ILA will allow School District staff to conduct an analysis regarding the impacts
on schools and make recommendations through a School Capacity Availability
Determination. This ILA will also be a
mandatory agreement with the County for Coordinated Planning to address school
site selection, infrastructure planning, consistency, etc., with local
government comprehensive plans and development regulations. The term of this
Agreement is for five years, with automatic five year renewals. Pursuant to
Chapter 163, F.S., the School
Board adopted an ILA on August 19, 2015. Additionally, this agenda item requests
initiation of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to the Intergovernmental
Coordination Element to establish consistency with the ILA for Coordinated
School Planning. Countywide (LB)

1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending the Rules of Procedure incorporated into Section 500.00 of the County’s Administrative Code; providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: Staff was directed to revise the Rules of Procedure as they pertain to night meetings, public comment at workshops, Commissioner comments, and Board direction to staff. This Resolution amends the Rules accordingly, with the exception of the advance notice of Commissioner comments as the existing rules substantially address this already. Countywide (DMN)

DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) an acquisition from the South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) of 39.7 acres of vacant land adjacent to the County’s 20 Mile Bend
property for $405,000; and
B) a Budget Transfer of $202,500 within Park
Impact Fee Zone 3 from Reserves to Land Acquisition to fund one-half of the
acquisition cost of the SFWMD property.
SUMMARY: The County has been pursuing a long term plan to
assemble properties at the Intersection of State Road 80 and old 880/20 Mile
Bend for County uses requiring an isolated location. The County acquired
91 acres from Florida Power & Light for the development of the Palm Beach
County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Training Facilities. Subsequently,
the SFWMD donated 86 acres to the County for development of a public shooting
park. The SFWMD retained 39.7 acres which it has recently declared to be
surplus. SFWMD is increasing their efforts to dispose of unutilized
properties to generate revenue to offset budget shortfalls and SFWMD Staff have
offered this property to the County at its appraised value of $405,000.
Staff recommends acquisition of the 39.7 acres to guard against a potential
SFWMD sale to a third party for uses which might conflict with the County’s
existing and planned future uses. This acquisition will be funded
from $202,500 in Park Impact Fee Zone 3 Reserves and $202,500 in the Public
Safety Radio Systems Fund. Due to the extensive history with this
property, including the prior acquisition from SFWMD, an existing site
plan approval for a County public shooting range and previous environmental
evaluation, Staff believes that it is reasonable to rely on the previously
developed information and not perform additional pre purchase due
diligence. In the event that the sale of this property to the County is
approved by the Board of County Commissioners and the SFWMD Governing Board,
then Staff will close this transaction by simply delivering a check to SFWMD in
exchange for a deed to the property. This acquisition requires a super
majority vote (5 votes) for approval. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

SUMMARY: Staff requests
Board direction on: a
Resolution supporting a request for legislative appropriation for engineering
design and permitting costs of a navigational structure linking the C-51 Canal
and the five lakes comprising the Chain of Lakes, with the Lake Worth Lagoon
and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Summary:
Municipalities which border the Chain of Lakes seek to make a navigational
connection to the Lake Worth Lagoon (Lagoon). The most likely point of such
connection would be at the S-155 structure on the C-51 Canal (Canal). This Resolution offers support for
legislative appropriation for money to perform an engineering design for a
navigational connection, likely a boat lift, between the Canal and the
Lagoon. This Resolution was requested
by the Board in support of a project being considered by municipalities bordering
the canal. The project is not currently
a County project and it is not recommended that the County assume
responsibility for the project. A
feasibility study conducted by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and
a memo describing trail and blueway activities underway and planned for the
Environmental Resources Management Department are attached to the item as
