motion to approve:
Contract for Consulting/Professional Services with Christians Reaching Out to
Society, Inc., for the period October 1, 2015, through September 30, 2016, in
an amount not to exceed $50,000 to provide gleaning services. Summary: Christians Reaching Out to
Society, Inc. (CROS) will recruit and coordinate gleaning opportunities through
local congregations, civic and non-profit agencies within the County to develop
strong neighborhood relationships, opportunities and support systems. Gleaning is the gathering of excess produce
after the fields have been harvested.
The produce is distributed to homeless shelters, day care centers,
senior centers, and emergency food pantries.
This project is a collaboration between Palm
Beach County, CROS and United Way to bring fresh produce into low-income
neighborhoods as fresh fruit and vegetables are usually too expensive and/or of
poor quality in these areas. The
addition of these resources adds much needed nutrition to the diet and promotes
health and wellness. No County funds are
required. (Community Action Program) Countywide
(HH)
3. Staff recommends
motion to ratify: signature of the Mayor on Modification No. 5 to the
Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Federally Funded Subgrant Agreement

March 31, 2016, for a total amount not to exceed $3,360,459 to reallocate Low
Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) budget lines between service
programs. Summary: The purpose of this Modification is to
reallocate Weather-Related funds to the
Crisis Assistance and Home Energy budget line.
LIHEAP dollars are reviewed throughout the contract year and reallocated
to best fit the needs of the clients. The reallocation of LIHEAP funds in the
amount of $79,210 will enable Community Action Program to increase the Crisis
Assistance and Home Energy budget line.
These funds will be used to prevent service disconnection or restore
electric services to an additional 600 low income Palm Beach County residents. This Modification does not change the total
grant award amount of $3,360,459. 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)

No. Y6119 with the Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA), for the period
November 1, 2015, through October 31, 2016, to support the provision of
nutritious meals and snacks to community based adults attending to adult day
care centers.
Summary: Grant adjustments are made during the
contract year to align services with need. These amendments are necessary to incorporate
changes made to the standard agreements. The OAA Standard Agreement No IA016-9500 allows
DOSS to provide in-home and community based services to older adults, which are
funded with $1,962,346 in Federal and State of Florida funds and $1,573,119 in
County funds. Sufficient funding is
included in the current budget to meet County obligations. ACFP provides meal reimbursements to adult day care
centers. No County funds are required for this
program. The emergency signature process
was utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the grant contract
through the regular agenda item process and meet the submission deadline. (DOSS) Countywide except for portions of

Amendment to Loan Agreement in connection with the extension of the County’s
line of credit dated May 21, 2009 with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., that satisfies
the debt service reserve fund requirements for several of the County’s
outstanding bond issues; authorizing the execution of a separate Seventh
Amendment to Loan Agreement in connection with the extension of the County’s
separate line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (the Bank), dated June 4,
2009 that satisfies the debt service reserve fund requirements for several
other County bond issues and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: Under
the terms of the loan agreements, the County requested that the Bank extend the
maturity date for each loan agreement.
The Bank has agreed to extend the loan agreement for one year for one of
the two bond issues remaining and the Bank has agreed to extend the loan
agreement for three months for the other of the two remaining issues. One of
the bond issues will mature in the beginning of the next fiscal year and the
related letter of credit will no longer be needed after this fiscal year. The
County will continue to pay an annual fee of .65% ($35,403) for the remaining
two letters of credit issued to satisfy the debt service reserve requirements
under the loan agreements. Due to the one bond maturing, this amendment will
decrease the annual cost approximately $4,600. The County expects to continue
to renew the one remaining loan agreement each year. The Bonds originally had
debt service reserves that were funded by surety policies issued by municipal
bond insurance companies. When those
companies had their AAA rating downgraded below a level specified in the bond
resolutions, the County had to replace the surety policies with letters of
credit. The County’s AAA bond rating
enabled the replacement in an expedient manner at a time when it was difficult
for governments with a lesser rating to borrow money. Countywide (PFK)

Agreement R2014-1820 (Interlocal) with the City of Boynton Beach (City) for the

On December 2, 2014, the County and City entered into the Interlocal which
established the terms and conditions pursuant to which the County would
facilitate the migration of the City’s P25 compliant radio system by: 1) working
with County’s consultant to develop a design criteria package for the City’s
Radio System; 2) including the specifications for the City Radio System in the
County’s Request for Proposals (RFP); 3)
negotiating a statement of work for the City’s system; and 4) utilizing the
County’s selected contractor to implement a City Radio System. Prior to the
County commencing design and/or construction on behalf of the City, the City
was required to issue a Radio System Election accepting the negotiated statement
of work for the City Radio System and concurrently transferring, to the County,
the funds for implementation of the City Radio System. On February 16, 2016, instead of utilizing
the project management and funding approach detailed in the Interlocal, the City
voted to finance the costs of the P25 system through Motorola; effectively
terminating the Interlocal. As required
by the Interlocal, all funds remaining from the City’s initial fund transfer
have been returned to the City. The termination of this Interlocal in no way

motion to approve: a Satisfaction of Mortgage and a Release of Restrictions
in exchange for the receipt of $67,156.81 in connection with the Abidjan
Estates project as funded under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME). SUMMARY: On October 21, 2003, the County entered into a
Conditional Grant Agreement (R2003-1632) with We Help Community Development
Corporation (WHCDC) under which the County provided $600,000 in HOME funds
towards the acquisition of 73 acres of land for the Abidjan Estates mixed-use
project in Belle Glade. The funds were secured by a Mortgage and Security
Agreement (Mortgage) whose lien was later transferred to a 22 acre portion of
the land where 76 affordable homes were to have been constructed. WHCDC’s
obligation for the development and affordability of these homes was secured by
the lien of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenant (Declaration) in favor of the
County. WHCDC constructed 12 homes, but was unable to meet its full
obligation to the County and to its private lender due to the recession and
subsequently went into foreclosure. The foreclosure did not include seven
lots which WHCDC conveyed to its builder, 2SBW & Associates, Inc. (2SBW),
in lieu of payment for outstanding construction costs. The County’s
encumbrance created by the Mortgage and the Declaration continues on the seven
lots now owned by 2SBW who has proposed the $67,156.81 payment in exchange for removal
of the County’s encumbrance. Staff recommends acceptance of this payment
which is based on a per lot repayment of $7,895 as established in the

include: 1) a change to the Purchase Assistance Program to allow an assisted
homeowner who desires to relocate in Palm Beach County and who is unable to
repay the SHIP loan, to transfer the loan to a newly acquired primary residence
for the remaining affordability period to accommodate borrowers who need to
relocate within Palm Beach County for any reason including changing family

West (DLW) project;
B) Subordination Agreement with the Housing Finance
Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida (HFA), in connection with its first
mortgage loan to the CLT, for the DLW project; and
C) Delegation of authority to the County Administrator or
her designee, to subordinate the Declaration of Restrictions, as amended, to
future land leases entered into by the CLT with homeowners at DWL.
SUMMARY: On January 13, 2009,
the County entered into an Agreement with the CLT under which the CLT received
title to 7.29 acres of land located on Davis Road just south of Melaleuca Lane
in unincorporated Palm Beach County. In exchange for the receipt of title
to the land which was purchased with Federal Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds, the CLT executed a Declaration of Restrictions encumbering the
property with certain restrictions requiring it to develop the property for
affordable housing. The CLT has partially met its obligation by
constructing 25 affordable rental units, known as Davis Landings, on the
portion of the property east of Davis Road. The CLT has now secured up to
$3,885,000 in first mortgage financing from the HFA to construct 24 homes on
the portion of the property west of Davis Road to be known as DLW. The
County has also approved a loan of $1,747,743 in subordinate financing for DLW
under the Federal Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program. Under the Declaration
of Restrictions, the CLT was to have constructed these homes by December 31,
2012; however, the financial crisis delayed their efforts. The First Amendment
to Declaration of Restrictions amends the aforesaid completion date to
September 30, 2017, in light of the availability of HFA and HOME financing to
enable the project to proceed. It also revises the end of the
affordability period from December 31, 2042, to December 31, 2036, for
homeowners who must be income approved by the County. The Subordination Agreement
renders the County’s lien on the western portion of the property as secured by
the Declaration of Restrictions, and as amended by the First Amendment to
Declaration of Restrictions, junior to the lien of the first mortgage to be
held by the HFA.
The Subordination Agreement also contains language whereby the County
would agree to not exercise its right to take title to the western portion of
the property during the time the HFA first mortgage is in effect. Staff
believes the temporary suspension of this right to title poses minimal risk to
the County. The County’s primary reason for having the right to require
CLT’s forfeiture of title is to ensure the construction of affordable housing
units on the property. The HFA first mortgage financing, together with
the financing being provided by the County, will enable the CLT to construct
the affordable housing units. The Subordination Agreement will not
encumber the portion of the property east of Davis Road, so the County will not
be suspending its right to forfeiture as it pertains to the CLT’s property east
of Davis Road. Homes constructed at DLW will be sold pursuant to the CLT model
under which the CLT leases the land of each home to the homeowner through a
99-year lease and sells the improvements. This approach renders the homes
affordable since homeowners do not buy the land but rather make modest land
lease payments while only financing the purchase of the improvements.
Affordability is further enhanced through HOME Program subsidies. The
Delegation of authority to the County Administrator or her designee, will
permit the timely subordination of the Declaration of Restrictions, as amended,
to the CLT’s land lease as each home is sold and will allow the timely delivery
of pertinent documents as closings are scheduled for the sale of these
homes. These are Federal CDBG grant funds which require no local match.

On October 19, 2010, the County entered into an Agreement (R2010-1752) with
WFCDC which, after being amended, ultimately provided $1,003,384.55 of Home
Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds for the acquisition and
rehabilitation of five affordable housing properties. The properties were
required to be sold to households whose incomes were no more than 80% of area
median income. The affordable housing project was placed on hold in order
to resolve certain issues, including resolution of a potential conflict of
interest issue, and as a result the Agreement terminated on December 31, 2015,
prior to completion of project activities under the Agreement. To date,
WFCDC has acquired four homes of which two have been fully rehabilitated and
two have been substantially rehabilitated. Both the County and WFCDC
desire to reinstate the Agreement in order to complete the project in modified
form. This Amendment reinstates the Agreement and extends the term to
December 30, 2016, reduces the number of homes to be undertaken by WFCDC to
four homes, and reduces the funding amount to $800,000. The Amendment also
incorporates changes made by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to the HOME regulations in 2013. Authorization of the
County Administrator, or designee, to execute any future amendments to the
Agreement will help the County meet HUD expenditure deadlines affecting HOME
funds. These are Federal HOME funds which require a local match that is

Z. RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
Renewal of the County’s excess property, liability, and workers’ compensation insurance program for the period April 1,
2016, through March 31, 2017 purchased through the County’s contracted broker,
Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc., under Contract No.
15-050/LJ, for a total cost not-to-exceed $9,433,820. Summary: The projected 2016-2017 excess insurance
program renewal premiums reflect a total cost not-to-exceed $9,433,820,
representing an estimated decrease of approximately 9.7% ($1,017,564) over the
expiring program cost. The decrease indicates a softening insurance market for
the County’s property, liability, and workers’ compensation exposures. The
projected cost reflects an accurate current quotation of the final program
renewal premiums; however the broker will continue to negotiate with the excess
carriers until the March 31st program expiration to potentially
achieve a greater percentage of savings prior to the final binding of coverage
on April 1st. The County’s
total insurable value of its buildings currently stands at $2.47 billion. The

a $500,000 SIR per occurrence, and excess workers’ compensation insurance
covering all costs excess of a $2 million SIR per occurrence. All state
mandated surcharges and assessments are contained within the estimated cost.
Sufficient funds are budgeted in FY 2016/2017 for this coverage. Countywide

4. PUBLIC HEARINGS – 9:30 A.M. (Motion to receive and
file: Proof of publication)
A. Staff recommends
motion to:
1) adopt a Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, confirming the Special
Assessment Roll for the East Hialeah Drive Water Main Extension (Project); and
2) approve a Work Authorization No. 25 to
Johnson-Davis, Inc., under the Water Utilities Department (WUD) Continuing
Construction Contract (R2013-0550) in the amount of $59,777.67.
Summary: Petitions in favor of the installation of a potable water main were received by WUD for 75% of the property owners (3 in favor, 1 not in favor) in the East Hialeah Drive Project area. The petitions were considered and approved at the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of the Indian Trails Improvement District (ITID) on May 20, 2015. The Project will serve four residential properties currently on private wells. Individual assessments of $13,311.47 per parcel will be assessed based on 90% of the total estimated cost of the Project, pursuant to the terms of the agreement between the County and ITID, in which the County committed to allocate $500,000 to provide financial support for up to 10% of the final cost for assessment projects within the legislative boundaries of the ITID. WUD has encumbered and expended a total of $267,408.38 for previous ITID assessment projects. The assessment is payable over a 20-year time period in equal annual payments of principal and 5.5% interest. The total assessable cost of the Project is $53,245.88 and includes the costs of surveying, design, drafting, permitting, construction, inspection, administration, and construction contingency, as well as the 10% financial support payment dictated by WUD’s contract with ITID. The Project will be constructed utilizing a Work Authorization under the WUD Continuing Construction Contract with Johnson-Davis, Inc. (R2013-0550). The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The contract with Johnson-Davis, Inc. provides for SBE participation of 20.96%. This Authorization includes 16.3% overall participation. The cumulative SBE participation is 18.2% overall. If the actual cost of the Project exceeds the total assessable cost, the difference will be covered by WUD. (WUD Project No. 15-047) District 6 (MJ)
B. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
Budget amendments and transfers in various funds reflecting adjustments for
balances brought forward, other revenues, reserves and operating expenses. The total of the adjustments is an increase
of $118,040,656 in 192 funds. SUMMARY: These budget amendments and
transfers are necessary to adjust FY 2016 budgets to reflect differences
between actual and estimated revenues and expenditures of FY 2015. These
amendments adjust the balances brought forward, various revenue, expenditure,
and reserve accounts to their audited balances. The proposed adjustments
include $16,990,072 additional reserves in the General Fund. This represents an 11% decrease from the
average amount placed in reserve over the last three years, which has ranged between $10,966,745 to $31,392,559. The
adjustment is a result of:
·
($40,284)
net reduction in excess fees and commission refunds from Constitutional Officers:
Sheriff’s Office $36,314, Clerk and Comptroller $385,039, Supervisor of
Elections ($1,090,266), Tax Collector $185,189, Property Appraiser $443,440 and
·
$3,301,404
net additional Sheriff Revenue, and
·
$10,492,621
expenditures less than and revenues greater than originally estimated, and
·
$3,236,331
in other adjustments to reserves.
FY 2017 budget projections currently assume these additional reserves
will be carried forward to balance the annual budget. Countywide (PFK)

motion to approve: Alignment 2A South for Congress Avenue from Park
Lane to State Road 811/Alternate A1A. SUMMARY: Approval of Alignment 2A
South for Congress Avenue from Park Lane to State Road 811/Alternate A1A, will
finalize the alignment and allow the start of the design and right-of-way
acquisition process for this portion of Congress Avenue. The Board of County
Commissioners (Board) approved Alignment 1A at its Board meeting held on
February 28, 2006. That was the segment from Northlake Boulevard to Park
Lane. The Board also conceptually approved Alignment 2A for Congress Avenue
from Park Lane to State Road 811/Alternate A1A at the Board meeting held April
17, 2012, but directed staff to pursue additional studies and associated
cost evaluations for all potentially affected properties within this segment.
Those studies have been completed and Alignment 2A South was found to be
most economically feasible. It is estimated that 15 properties, including
single family residences, a mobile home park and commercial properties, will be
impacted by the construction of this segment of the extension of Congress
Avenue. District 1 (MRE)

motion to receive and file: a presentation by Richard Machek, State Director
of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development for
Florida/U.S. Virgin Islands, of a $1 Million award for the Intermediary
Relending Program (IRP). SUMMARY: Palm Beach County through the
Department of Economic Sustainability was recently awarded $1 Million for the
IRP. The IRP is designed to provide low interest loans to improve rural
communities to small emerging businesses. The funding was only awarded to six
local governments across the Country and Palm Beach County was the only entity
in Florida to receive an allocation. This allocation will continue to further

B. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a proposal for a one cent
infrastructure surtax as follows:
·
One Cent, Countywide, with allocation of 48% School
District, 28.5 % County, 18.5% Municipalities and 5% Economic Development to
include Cultural Facilities;
·
Maximum of 10 years; and
·
Creation of an oversight committee(s) to

SUMMARY: On February 9, 2016, the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to work with the Municipalities,
School District and Cultural Council to develop a joint plan specific to an
infrastructure surtax. Further, the Board directed staff to bring back project
lists from the partners. The League of Cities Executive Board voted to
not oppose a slightly different proposal which reflected 46.5% School District
, 28.5% County, 18.5% Municipalities and 6.5% Economic Development for Cultural
Facilities. After further analysis and review, staff refined the proposal
and the School District approved the proposal described in the motion with a
deadline for approval by the BCC no later than April 15, 2016. All
funding must be expended as prescribed by Florida Statutes. If the BCC
approves the proposal reflected above, staff will move forward in developing
and working with the partners on inter-local agreements and an Ordinance for a
one cent infrastructure surtax including ballot language for a referendum
scheduled for November 8, 2016. In addition to creating an oversight
committee(s), a project manager will be hired or assigned to coordinate and
monitor the program. Countywide (PFK)

authorization will allow the County Administrator or her designee to enter into
a funding agreement providing financial support and in-kind services for a
Summit designed to inform and educate the business community and public on the
scope and impact of agricultural production in Palm Beach County. The focus of the Summit is the business of
modern agriculture and its role in advancing our food security, quality of
life, and economy. The Summit, hosted by the Economic Council and the Florida
Chamber Foundation, will include an agro-business expo and presentations by a
variety of industry leaders and officials including Adam Putnam, Florida’s
Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The financial payment and in-kind services

B) accept a
Memorandum of Agreement to be recorded in the public records to provide notice
of this Agreement; and
C) approve a Budget Transfer of $3,900,000 in the
Airport’s Improvement and Development Fund.
SUMMARY: The buildings are located on a 3.579 acre site on
the north side of Belvedere Road across from the Palm Beach International
Airport. The property is improved with two story CBS commercial buildings that
were built in 1950. Each building
contains approximately 15,000 square feet for a total of 30,000 square
feet. The property is currently occupied
by numerous non-residential tenants, including an outdoor advertising
(billboard) sign with Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (Clear Channel) (Sign
Lease). The Sign Lease will be assigned
to the County at closing. The remaining
leases will expire or be terminated by the seller prior to closing, and the
tenants will be entitled to non-residential relocation expenses pursuant to the
Uniform Act (P.L. 91-646, as amended).
The property was appraised by Anderson & Carr, Inc. in November 2015
at $3,900,000, and review appraisal was completed by Edward E. Wilson on December
2015, which supported the Anderson & Carr appraisal. Local funds are available for the purchase of
this property. All purchases, sales and exchanges of real estate must be approved by a
supermajority vote (5 Commissioners) pursuant to the PREM Ordinance. Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing a Lease Agreement with Closter Farms, Inc., a
Florida corporation, (Closter Farms) for the continued use of County-owned
unimproved land south of Pahokee in unincorporated Palm Bach County at an
annual rate of $3,250.44; and
B) approve a Lease Agreement with Closter Farms.
SUMMARY: Since 1995, the County has leased
to Closter Farms a 7.3+/- acre parcel of unimproved land located on the north
side of Eastgate Farms Road, south of Pahokee, for sugarcane production. The lease with Closter Farms expired on March
31, 2015, and Closter Farms has been permitted to continue to farm the
land. The State owns a 2,725 acre tract
of land adjacent to the County property, which Closter Farms leases. In December 2014, the County attempted to
convey the parcel to the State but the State required environmental
assessments, surveys and title work, at the sole cost of the County, which
costs would have been excessive and impractical. Callaway & Price valued the property at
$80,300 and the Property Appraiser assessed the parcel at $51,100 for FY 2014. In March 2015, Closter Farms offered to
purchase the property for $21,900 ($3,000/acre) and Staff considered preparing
an Invitation for Bid for the sale of the parcel, but the amount proposed is
substantially less than the appraised and assessed values. Since Closter Farms leases the State’s adjacent
property and is the only entity that can readily utilize the County's parcel,
Staff determined that entering into a new lease with Closter Farms would be in
the best interest of the County. In June 2015, pursuant to PREM’s PPM CW-L-023,
Staff received approval from the then-County Administrator to negotiate a lease
with Closter Farms for the 7.3+/- acre parcel.
The term of the lease is for ten years, commencing retroactively on
April 1, 2015, with no renewal options, at an annual base rent of $3,250.44
($445/acre), with annual rent increases equal to the percentage increase in the
annual Producer Price Index, but in no event will the adjusted annual rent be
less than the annual rent for the prior lease year. The lease is triple net. Closter Farms will be responsible for all
maintenance and repair of the premises, and will farm the land in accordance
with the Everglades Forever Act. Property & Real Estate Management (PREM)
will have administrative responsibility for this Lease Agreement. (PREM) District

motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in 1.30
acres of surplus property to Melvin Boren and Roberta Minx Boren without
charge, and without reservation of mineral and petroleum rights; and
B) approve a County Deed in favor of Melvin Boren and
Roberta Minx Boren.
SUMMARY: The County recently acquired by Escheatment Tax Deed a vacant 1.30 acre
parcel located at 11448 Mellow Court, in unincorporated Royal Palm Beach, with
an assessed value of $18,876. After the
issuance of the tax deed to the County, it was discovered that sufficient
notice of the tax sale was not provided pursuant to Florida Statute Chapter
197. Rather than file court action to
set aside the tax deed sale, the Clerk & Comptroller has requested the
County re-convey the parcel to Melvin Boren and Roberta Minx Boren, the owners
of record at the time of issuance of the tax deed, at no charge, without
reservation of mineral and petroleum rights. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)
3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Concessionaire Service Agreement with JR Wake
Parks, LLC d/b/a Apex Wake Parks (Apex) for the operation of a wake board and
water sports concession located in Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach. SUMMARY: The Parks and Recreation Department desires
to offer cable operated wake board and water sports activities to patrons at
Okeeheelee Park. Presently, there are no
such facilities in Palm Beach County. In March 2015, a Request for Proposals
(RFP) was issued for the construction, operation and maintenance of a wake
board cable complex for wake boarding and water skiing, wake surfing, zip
lining, tubing and kneeboard rentals, competitions, and lessons at the Park for
the Park’s visitors. Proposals were
received from Apex and Manuel V. Mendez/Manuel V. Mendez, MD, PA. A Selection Committee reviewed the proposals
and ranked Apex the highest. The guaranteed annual rent is $24,000/year
($2,000/month), with annual 2% increases.
In addition, Apex will pay percentage rent equal to the amount by which
8.5% of Apex’s annual gross revenues exceeds the
guaranteed annual rent. The initial term of the Concessionaire Service
Agreement is for ten years, with two successive options to extend, each for a
period of ten years. Apex has posted a
$10,000 security deposit. The Parks Department will manage and administer the
Concessionaire Service Agreement. (PREM) District 2 (HJF)
