TITLE & SUMMARY (2nd): Staff recommends motion to: A) ratify
the Mayor’s signature on Cooperative Agreement No. FF204K154023 Amendment No. 1

Development related to fair housing activities.
SUMMARY: OEO
has an Addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding with HUD through 2020. The original Cooperative Agreement was
presented to the Board on November 17, 2015 (R2015-1594). HUD has awarded the
Office of Equal Opportunity $30,000 for acting as the host agency for the
Region IV FHAP/FHIP Partnership Conference, for a new total of $290,825. The conference will take place in Palm Beach
County March 15 – 17, 2016. This

agency staff from eight states and HUD.
In order for OEO to receive the revenue from HUD in a timely fashion to

with the ability for OEO to receive the revenue under the agreement with HUD. OEO cannot receive the revenue without the
Board’s approval. The agreement to
receive the revenue needed to be signed by the Mayor. The Mayor signed the
agreement on January 27, 2016 February 8, 2016 for OEO to receive

33 5B-2 ADD-ON, REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve:
A) PRCMVAL Acquisition, LLC (PRCMVAL) together with its
permitted assignee, PRCP-Abacoa Investment, LLC
(PRCP) as the purchaser of the property identified in the Declaration of
Restrictions granted to Palm Beach County by Dakota Abacoa
Housing, LLC (DAH) on June 21, 2012, and recorded in Official Records Book

SUMMARY: On April 3, 2012, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved (R2012-0524) $445,512 in impact fee credits for
DAH under the Impact Fee Affordable Housing Assistance Program. A Certificate of Award was provided which enabled DAH to receive impact fee credits for
132 of 142 rental housing units at the Dakota Apartments project. A Declaration of Restrictions in favor of
Palm Beach County was recorded against the property to secure these funds and
to ensure a 15 year affordability period. The construction of the project was
completed in 2014 and the units were put in service. DAH wishes to sell the
property to PRCMVAL and PRCP as the permitted assignee, and has
requested approval of this purchaser as required under the Declaration of
Restrictions. PRCMVAL and PRCP have has committed to accept the
restrictions and conditions of the Declaration of Restrictions as required
therein. Approval of the new first mortgage lender, Jackson National Life
Insurance Company, in lieu of PNC Bank who is identified in the Declaration of
Restrictions as the first mortgage lender, is also required in order to
subordinate the lien of the Declaration of Restrictions to that of the new
first mortgage. Delegation of authority
to the County Administrator, or her designee, is requested in order to
facilitate the sale transaction in a timely manner. These funds are from

35 5D-1 REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve: A)
on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on April 19, 2016 March 1, 2016: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 2, Article V, Division 5 of the
Palm Beach County Code Ordinance No. 1988-16, amended by Ordinance No.
1989-003, amended by Ordinance No. 1990-038, amended by Ordinance No. 1992-014,
amended by Ordinance No. 1992-025, amended by Ordinance No. 1993-001, amended
by Ordinance No. 1993-035, amended by Ordinance No. 1995-006, and amended by
2014-003; relating to the Criminal Justice Commission of Palm Beach County;
amending Section 2-216 (operation); amending Section 2-221 (administration);
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; and B)…
SUMMARY: On November 3, 2015, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to work with Commissioner Taylor, various
members of the CJC, Economic Council (EC), and the Chief Judge to review the
structure of the CJC. The committee met on November 13, 2015 and made the
following recommendations to the CJC Ordinance: 1) Modify the reporting relationship
of the CJC Executive Director to report to the County Administrator; and 2)
Modify the composition of the CJC membership by reducing the private sector
membership nominated by the EC from twelve to four which would allow each
County Commissioner to appoint a member and add an ex-offender as a private
sector member appointed by an entity/organization that engages in reentry
efforts. In 1988, the EC funded
personnel costs associated with the CJC Executive Director position for two
years. Since 1990, the BCC and other
funding sources have supported the CJC budget; leading the committee to
recommend reducing the number of members nominated by the EC. On January 25, 2016, these recommendations
were presented to the full CJC who did not support the revisions to the private
sector membership nominated by the EC and recommended reducing the private
sector membership from twelve to ten and allow each County Commissioners to
appoint a member with the exception of the Commissioner who serves as the BCC
liaison to the CJC, resulting in the CJC increasing membership from 33 to
37. Currently, the CJC is the largest
advisory board of the BCC and contrary to the county’s existing policy relating
to the size of advisory boards. Existing policy limits commission and advisory
boards’ membership to 9 - 11. Currently,
all private sector members are nominated by the Economic Council (EC); however,
they do not have to be a member of the EC to be nominated. Currently, there are two open private sector
member appointments. In addition, at the November 3, 2015 BCC meeting
Commissioner McKinlay suggested including an ex-offender as a private sector
member of the CJC membership which was not approved by the CJC due to several
CJC committees already having participation of ex-offenders. As an alternative, staff recommends reducing
the private sector membership nominated by the EC from twelve to five allowing
each County Commissioner to appoint a member with the exception of the
Commissioner who serves as the BCC liaison to the CJC and adding an at-large
member of the clergy nominated by the Palm Beach County Ministerial Clergy
Alliance as a private sector member. This allows total CJC membership to remain
at thirty-three. Other recommended
changes include adding a BCC member to the CJC Executive Committee, defining
the attendance policy and conduct of meeting, which will be incorporated in the
CJC by-laws. Countywide (JB) (Admin/CJC)
36 5D-2 REVISED

2. Staff recommends a
motion to:
A) approve an Agreement with Friends of Foster
Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the
implementation of the Community Back to School: Putting Kids First Program;
B) authorize an advance payment to the Friends
of Foster Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. up to $50,000 to purchase
school supplies for the Back to School Bash;
C) approve a Budget Transfer of $100,000 from the CCRT Reserve

Initiatives Fund to recognize and appropriate the transfer from the Capital
Outlay Fund of $100,000 for the Community Back to
School: Putting Kids First Program.
SUMMARY: This Agreement provides
for the County to provide advance payments to Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach
County, Inc. and authorize payments to County approved vendors in an amount not to
exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) for the costs of
purchasing bookbags and school supplies associated with the implementation of
the “Community Back to School Bash: Putting Kids First Program” (Bash). The
Bash was originally approved by the Board of County Commissioners in
2006 to provide school supplies to underserved kids throughout Palm Beach
County. Along with school supplies, children also receive
free school physicals, immunizations, haircuts, and clothing to ensure that
they are ready for the first day of school. Additionally, the Bash provides
families with exposure to other community resources to help them on their road
to self-sufficiency and improve their children’s success in school. Funding for this Bash is available from
CCRT Recouped Funding Reserves. Advance payments are necessary because the
Friends of Foster Children of Palm Beach County, Inc. do not have access to the
necessary capital to upfront all the cash needed for the Bash implementation,
and can move forward with the purchase some of the school supplies.
Advance payments will not exceed $50,000. This Agreement begins on February 15,
2016 and ends on October 31, 2016. Countywide (AH)

B) approve Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Ryman

credit amount of $145,792;
C) authorize the payment in the amount of $15,000 to the City of

D) authorize the payment to the City of Pahokee, upon
final payment to Ryman Mechanical, of all remaining funds in the Pahokee Gymnasium
contingency line for interior Improvements at the Pahokee Gymnasium providing
that the City has already received funds pursuant to Motion C.
SUMMARY: The HVAC replacement project is
Phase 2 of a multi-phase project and consists of the replacement of the
existing rooftop HVAC units with new, energy efficient units and life-safety
lighting improvements. The existing HVAC
equipment has reached the end of their useful life spans and the lighting is
not up to code. The original, as-bid
scope included new HVAC units for the gymnasium, weight room, and multi-purpose
room, but due to the bids significantly exceeding the available budget, scope
reductions were necessary. On January 26, and after weighing various options,
the Pahokee City Commission approved an option that: 1) reduced the scope of
the HVAC to only the gymnasium, 2) transfer residual County funds from the
deduct to offset the City’s estimated $75,000 expenses toward interior
improvements, and 3) directed the City Manager to identify $60,000 of City
funds to complete the interior improvements to the Gymnasium; all in an effort
to concurrently finish the HVAC and interior improvements in mid-July with
final completion in mid August. This will complete the County’s funding and
physical involvement in this project totaling $1,012,561 ($837,561 from
Community Development Block Grant [CDBG] and $175,000 Ad Valorem). The remaining work includes replacing the air
conditioning at the weight room and multipurpose recreational area and making
various interior improvements to both areas; all of which will be fiscally and
physically undertaken by the City. The total construction duration to Final
Completion is 172 calendar days. The
HVAC work was competitively bid with Ryman Mechanical, Inc. submitting the lowest
responsible, responsive bid. Davis Bacon
requirements and prevailing wage provisions apply to the contract. There is a Federal 22.4% minority
participation requirement. Ryman Mechanical, Inc. is a Pasco County company.
The project is funded through Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) using
monies from CDBG Program as well as Ad Valorem funding by the County. The CDBG funds will be exhausted with the HVAC
contract and only ad valorem funds transferred to the City. (Capital

motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement for Reimbursement of Certain
Paving Costs – 40th Street North (Agreement) between Palm Beach
County and the Indian Trail
Improvement District (ITID) in the amount
of $12,000. Summary: The County
owns property and utility facilities located off 40th Street North
in the Village of Royal Palm Beach. ITID
maintains the roads providing the County access to the property, including 40th
Street North. Utilization of a section
of 40th Street North that was previously maintained by ITID as an
unpaved shell rock road resulted in citizen complaints regarding dust, traffic
safety and environmental impacts. In
response to these complaints, ITID undertook a project to pave the unpaved
section of 40th Street North (Project). The Project will benefit the County by
providing improved access to the existing property and utility projects. As such, County staff recommends the
reimbursement of a portion of the Project costs to ITID. District 6 (MJ)

Work Authorization No. 11
with Centerline Utilities, Inc. in the amount of $1,279,678.70; and
C) authorize the County Administrator or her designee to
execute a change order to the Work Authorization No. 11 for the upsizing of a
portion of the line and related equipment, in the event that the City of West
Palm Beach City Commission approves the work at the City’s sole cost no later
than February 17, 2016.
Summary: On
May 7, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Water
Utilities Department Pipeline Continuing Construction Contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc. (R2013-0551)(Continuing Contract). Work
Authorization No. 11 provides for the construction of reclaimed water infrastructure to transmit
reclaimed water from the East Central Regional Water Reclamation Facilities
(ECRWRF) to the Ballpark located at the intersection of Haverhill Road and 45th Street. The
Project is needed to fulfill the County’s obligation to provide reclaimed water
for utilization by the proposed baseball facilities under previously executed
interlocal agreements. The majority of the work under Work Authorization No. 11
was not contained within the bid line items for the Continuing Contract and is
greater than the allowance for non-bid items, therefore requiring re-bidding
the work or an emergency procurement.
The procurement must be an emergency procurement since the
delay incident in re-bidding the work would be detrimental to the interests of
the County by: a) causing the Ballpark not to be completed by the 2017 Spring
Training Season and therefore foregoing the associated bed tax revenues, and/or
b) requiring alternate, more costly turf and landscaping to be installed which
does not require as long a grow-in period.
The County and HW Spring Training LLC have both reviewed the value of
the work not contained in bid line items in the Continuing Contract and have
satisfied themselves that the prices for the work not in bid line items are
reasonable and competitive. Per the Interlocal Agreement for
the Sale and Purchase of Reclaimed Water between the County and the City of
West Palm Beach dated August 18, 2015 (R2015-1075) (Interlocal Agreement), the City of West Palm
Beach has the option to upsize the lines to provide the City capacity to
service future customers. The City has until February 17, 2016 to approve such
work. Upon completion of the Project,
the pipeline and metering facilities will be owned, operated and maintained by
the City of West Palm Beach. The cost of
the Project is being funded with proceeds from the $135 Million Bond for development
of the Ballpark. The Small
Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance
(R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The Continuing Contract with Centerline Utilities,
Inc. provides for SBE participation of 16.56%. Work Authorization No. 11
includes 16.6% overall participation. The cumulative SBE participation
including this Authorization is 16.59% overall. Centerline Utilities, Inc. is
not a Palm Beach County company. (WUD Project No. 16-015) Countywide/District 7 (MJ)

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County received an allocation of
$4,961,065 from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) for SHIP Fiscal
Year 2015-2016. A comprehensive outreach to multiple housing service
providers and stakeholders was conducted and the funding recommendations are a
result of their input. SHIP regulations require that at least 65% of a
local jurisdiction’s SHIP funding allocation be designated for homeownership
activities and that 20% of the funding allocation be expended on special needs
applicants. The Second Mortgage, Veterans Homeownership, Housing Rehabilitation
and Homeless Prevention programs selection criteria will be based on a first
qualified, first served basis subject to funding availability. Priority
preference for these programs will be given to special needs households which
include persons with disabilities, elderly and veterans. Funding for
Developers will include preference given to projects in the Glades per Board of
County Commissioner’s prior direction. The distribution of Developer
Rental Assistance funding will be made through a competitive Request for
Proposals. Per the current Local Housing Assistance Plan approved by the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC),
five percent (5%) of the total allocation has been dedicated to Project
Delivery and rolled into each activity based on the percentage estimate of use
per activity. Current accomplishments include 1,168 single-family homes
with affordable restrictions preserved and 2,687 multi-family units with
affordable restrictions preserved. SHIP programs serve from very low (50%
or below) area median incomes (AMI) to low and moderate AMI (between 51% and
140%) which now includes workforce housing income levels. These are State

1. REVISED TITLE
& SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to approve:
A)
on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on April 19,
2016 March
1, 2016: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners
of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 2, Article V, Division 5 of the
Palm Beach County Code Ordinance No. 1988-16, amended by Ordinance No.
1989-003, amended by Ordinance No. 1990-038, amended by Ordinance No. 1992-014,
amended by Ordinance No. 1992-025, amended by Ordinance No. 1993-001, amended
by Ordinance No. 1993-035, amended by Ordinance No. 1995-006, and amended by
2014-003; relating to the Criminal Justice Commission of Palm Beach County;
amending Section 2-216 (operation); amending Section 2-221 (administration);
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; and
B) termination
of the Letter of Agreement with former
Chairman of the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC). The letter delineated
responsibilities of the CJC that are now incorporated in the CJC Ordinance.
SUMMARY: On November
3, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to work with
Commissioner Taylor, various members of the CJC, Economic Council (EC), and the
Chief Judge to review the structure of the CJC. The committee met on November
13, 2015 and made the following recommendations to the CJC Ordinance: 1) Modify
the reporting relationship of the CJC Executive Director to report to the
County Administrator; and 2) Modify the composition of the CJC membership by
reducing the private sector membership nominated by the EC from twelve to four
which would allow each County Commissioner to appoint a member and add an
ex-offender as a private sector member appointed by an entity/organization that
engages in reentry efforts. In 1988, the
EC funded personnel costs associated with the CJC Executive Director position
for two years. Since 1990, the BCC and
other funding sources have supported the CJC budget; leading the committee to
recommend reducing the number of members nominated by the EC. On January 25, 2016, these recommendations
were presented to the full CJC who did not support the revisions to the private
sector membership nominated by the EC and recommended reducing the private
sector membership from twelve to ten and allow each County Commissioners to
appoint a member with the exception of the Commissioner who serves as the BCC
liaison to the CJC, resulting in the CJC increasing membership from 33 to
37. Currently, the CJC is the largest
advisory board of the BCC and contrary to the county’s existing policy relating
to the size of advisory boards. Existing
policy limits commission and advisory boards’ membership to 9 - 11. Currently, all private sector members are
nominated by the Economic Council (EC); however, they do not have to be a
member of the EC to be nominated.
Currently, there are two open private sector member appointments. In
addition, at the November 3, 2015 BCC meeting Commissioner McKinlay suggested
including an ex-offender as a private sector member of the CJC membership which
was not approved by the CJC due to several CJC committees already having
participation of ex-offenders. As an
alternative, staff recommends reducing the private sector membership nominated
by the EC from twelve to five allowing each County Commissioner to appoint a
member with the exception of the Commissioner who serves as the BCC liaison to
the CJC and adding an at-large member of the clergy nominated by the Palm Beach
County Ministerial Clergy Alliance as a private sector member.
This allows total CJC membership to remain at thirty-three. Other recommended changes include adding a
BCC member to the CJC Executive Committee, defining the attendance policy and
conduct of meeting, which will be incorporated in the CJC by-laws. Countywide

A) requests Board direction on County Infrastructure
backlog, funding of projects, and potential partnerships to include;
B) recommends motion to receive and file on
the review of the validity of the infrastructure renewal & replacement
(R&R) by four engineering and architectural firms; and
C) recommends motion to receive and file on
the County’s Spend Analysis as prepared by RSM LLP.
SUMMARY: Consistent with Board direction resulting from the November 24, 2015
Workshop addressing backlogged County infrastructure, County Staff has
continued working toward a discretionary local
government infrastructure surtax for the upcoming November ballot. The proceeds
of such tax would finance the renewal and replacement (R&R) of existing
capital investments including roadway surfaces, bridges, drainage improvements,
canals, park amenities and government buildings; all of which were deferred
during the recent recession and remain outstanding. At the same time these funds would allow for
previously planned public safety initiatives and equipment as well as other
appreciable public facilities to be advanced without impacting the routine
capital maintenance practices and other strategic facility investments that are
made financially feasible through existing tax collections. The ordinance to
allow the surtax would also require an oversight committee to review that
spending is in line with the approved project list.
Staff has been working with municipalities, the School District,
Cultural Council, and community/business leaders to discuss the surtax and the
County’s infrastructure needs. If the Board gives direction to prepare an ordinance
to add the surtax to the ballot, a full-time Project Manager will be added to
manage the surtax project.
The Board authorized staff to review spending and the process to prepare
a project needs list and those reports are now complete. In addition, staff has
prepared a list of backlogged projects that need to be addressed. Countywide (PFK)
