(CareerSource) Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Local Plan for Program Years 2017-2020 (Plan); and B)… SUMMARY: On July 10, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved an Interlocal Agreement (R2007-1220) establishing the Consortium. On November 18, 2014, the BCC approved Amendment No. 3 (R2014-1650) to the Interlocal Agreement establishing Palm Beach County as the Chief Elected Official (CEO) of the Consortium. Palm Beach County’s representative from the BCC serves as the Consortium Chair.  The Consortium consists of a representative from the County and the Cities of Palm Beach Gardens, South Bay, Delray Beach and West Palm Beach.  The Plan is a requirement of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Public Law 113-128 which states each local workforce development Board shall develop and submit to the Governor, a comprehensive four year Local Plan in partnership with the CEO. WIOA gives local workforce boards a unique opportunity to develop employment and training systems tailored specifically to local area needs. The Plan reflects the current and future strategies for the Palm Beach County area. CareerSource worked collaboratively with approximately 40 community partners to develop the Plan before it was solicited for public comment for a 30 day review period of the Plan on February 25, 2016 and ended on March 25, 2016.  The Interlocal Agreement (R2007-1220), sections 9.e. and 9.h. state the duties and responsibilities of the Consortium to, together with CareerSource, approve the workforce development plan for the local workforce area and modifications thereto; and perform any other appropriate duties necessary for the accomplishment, and consistent with the purposes, of the Interlocal Agreement.  Other appropriate duties necessary for the accomplishment, and consistent with the purposes, of the Interlocal Agreement include approval of the Consortium’s annual financial audit, annual financial report certification (local government financial reporting), pay and classification study, and application to the State of Florida to be designated as the one-stop-operator or direct provider of career services, including any modifications to the application.  On February 25, 2016, the CareerSource Board of Directors approved the Plan and on March 30, 2016, the Consortium approved the Plan.  Countywide (HH) (Admin)

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Contract with Hedrick Brothers Construction Company, Inc. to provide construction management services associated with detention facilities projects.  SUMMARY: The County’s Five Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes renewal/replacement projects at the detention facilities.  The series of projects consist of renewal/replacements, renovations, modifications, and/or additions for infrastructure and various facilities systems such as HVAC, mechanical, fire protection, plumbing, boilers, electrical, low voltage electronic systems (including fire alarm, intercom, security and CCTV) and structural, roofing and weatherproofing.

This Contract will be for five years and work will be authorized with Amendments to the Board for identified projects.  Hedrick Brothers Construction Company, Inc. is a local firm.  This Contract includes a SBE goal of 15%.  Funding for the work will come from the Public Building Improvement Fund or other funding source identified on each Amendment.

1.         REVISED SUMMARY & BACKUP (2nd): Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) CareerSource Palm Beach County, Inc. (CareerSource) Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Local Plan for Program Years 2017-2020 (Plan); and

 

B) delegation of signatory authority for the Chair of the Palm Beach County Workforce Development Consortium (Consortium) to approve:  the Consortium’s annual financial audit and annual financial report certification (local government financial reporting); pay and classification study; and CareerSource’s application to the State of Florida to be designated as the one-stop-operator or direct provider of career services, including any modifications to the application.

 

SUMMARY: On July 10, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved an Interlocal Agreement (R2007-1220) establishing the Consortium. On November 18, 2014, the BCC approved Amendment No. 3 (R2014-1650) to the Interlocal Agreement establishing Palm Beach County as the Chief Elected Official (CEO) of the Consortium. Palm Beach County’s representative from the BCC serves as the Consortium Chair.  The Consortium consists of a representative from the County and the Cities of Palm Beach Gardens, South Bay, Delray Beach and West Palm Beach.  The Plan is a requirement of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Public Law 113-128 which states each local workforce development Board shall develop and submit to the Governor, a comprehensive four year Local Plan in partnership with the CEO. WIOA gives local workforce boards a unique opportunity to develop employment and training systems tailored specifically to local area needs. The Plan reflects the current and future strategies for the Palm Beach County area. CareerSource worked collaboratively with approximately 40 community partners to develop the Plan before it was solicited for public comment for a 30 day review period of the Plan on February 25, 2016 and ended on March 25, 2016.  The Interlocal Agreement (R2007-1220), sections 9.e. and 9.h. state the duties and responsibilities of the Consortium to, together with CareerSource, approve the workforce development plan for the local workforce area and modifications thereto; and perform any other appropriate duties necessary for the accomplishment, and consistent with the purposes, of the Interlocal Agreement.  Other appropriate duties necessary for the accomplishment, and consistent with the purposes, of the Interlocal Agreement include approval of the Consortium’s annual financial audit, annual financial report certification (local government financial reporting), pay and classification study, and application to the State of Florida to be designated as the one-stop-operator or direct provider of career services, including any modifications to the application.  On February 25, 2016, the CareerSource Board of Directors approved the Plan and on March 30, 2016, the Consortium approved the Plan.  Countywide (HH)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: the First Addendum to the Interlocal Agreement (R90-194D) with the City of Palm Beach Gardens (City) for North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (Airport). SUMMARY: Palm Beach County (County) and the City entered into an Interlocal Agreement dated February 6, 1990 (R90-194D).  The Interlocal Agreement includes restrictions and guidelines relative to the construction and operation of the Airport.  The restrictions are listed in Exhibit “B” of the Interlocal Agreement.  One of the restrictions in Item 1 is “The Crosswind Runway will be limited to 4,300 feet in length.”  This Addendum amends the last sentence of Item 1 in its entirety and replaces it with the following language: “The Crosswind Runway will be limited to 6,000 feet in length. The aircraft approach category for Runway 13/31 will be a Category C (approach speed 121 knots or more, but less than141 knots), and the airplane design group will be Group II (wingspan of 49 feet or more, but less than 79 feet).”  This Addendum also requires the County upon completion of the extension of the runway to 6,000 feet to make application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for construction of an Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at the Airport pursuant to the ATC Contract Tower Program and to diligently pursue FAA approval through completion.  The City agrees that the County’s obligation is subject to and contingent upon the FAA’s agreement to provide for the operation of the ATCT at no cost to the County.

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the issuance by the Palm Beach County Educational Facilities Authority of Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000 and providing for an effective date.  Summary: The Palm Beach County Educational Facilities Authority (Authority) was created pursuant to Chapter 243, Florida Statutes and by Resolution No. R79-1493 adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on October 23, 1979.  The Authority is governed by a seven member governing body whose members are appointed by the County Commission.  The proceeds of the bonds will be loaned by the Authority to Lynn University, Inc.

Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bond. District 5 (PFK)

E.        WATER UTILITIES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement Between Palm Beach County and Broward County Related to the Construction, Ownership, Operation, and Maintenance of a Regional Reclaimed Water System (Agreement).  Summary: The Broward County/Palm Beach County Reclaimed Water Project (Project) was developed by staff from both Counties to allow Broward County to meet the requirements of the Ocean Outfall Law and to allow the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (WUD) to expand the provision of reclaimed water to additional customers in southern Palm Beach County. Broward County will construct and operate transmission and treatment capacity improvements to deliver reclaimed water from Broward County's northern wastewater treatment plant to larger customers in northern Broward County and connect to the WUD distribution system at the Hillsboro Canal. WUD will construct and operate a reclaimed water distribution system to supply reclaimed water for irrigation purposes.  The proposed Agreement provides that Broward County will finance 100% of the initial Project cost, including an estimated $44 Million for the construction of the reclaimed water transmission line within Palm Beach County.  Palm Beach County's repayment of its share of the Project cost will be provided from the sale of reclaimed water until the total amount of the Project cost is repaid.  The initiation of reclaimed water service from Broward County to Palm Beach County is to occur within a minimum of five to a maximum of seven years of the effective date of the Agreement, dependent on the timing of completion of the required infrastructure by Broward County.  Palm Beach County’s obligation to pay the established minimum charge for the reclaimed water being provided occurs at the time service is initiated, regardless of whether Palm Beach County has completed construction of its portion of the project.  The established minimum charge is $.05 per 1,000 gallons and a minimum reserve capacity of two million gallons per day.  During the period of repayment, Broward County will own the entire system while Palm Beach County will operate and maintain the portion of the system residing in Palm Beach County. Once the total amount of the Project cost is repaid, the portion of the reclaimed system located in Palm Beach County will be turned over to Palm Beach County ownership. WUD has already incurred $303,326.17 in “Pre-Agreement Costs” consisting of preliminary professional services expenses that will be invoiced and repaid by Broward County upon finalization of the Agreement.  The Project has the potential to provide environmental benefits to both Counties, including ground water recharge, mitigation of salt water intrusion and a reduced reliance on treated potable water for irrigation needs.

F.         PUBLIC SAFETY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on April 19, 2016 at 9:30a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,  amending Chapter 19, Article IX (Ordinance No. 2008-43) as amended relating to Vehicles for Hire, amending Section 19-211 (short title; applicability); amending Section 19-213 (definitions); amending Section 19-214 (compliance with article required); amending Section 19-215 (advertising); amending Section 19-216 (reserved) adding new title vehicle for hire operational requirements; amending Section 19-217 (reciprocity); amending Section 19-218 (business permit application); amending Section 19-219 (records required); amending Section 19-220 (vehicle requirements); amending Section 19-221 (vehicle decal requirements); amending Section 19-222 (impoundment); amending Section 19-223 (vehicle safety and appearance requirements); deleting Section 19-224 (non-medical wheelchair and stretcher transportation service companies operational requirements); deleting Section 19-225 (vehicle inspections)  amending Section 19-226 (commercial automobile liability insurance); amending Section 19-227 (driver requirements; failure to comply); deleting Section 19-228 (fraudulent transfer of vehicle for hire company); amending Section 19-229 (revocation, suspension and denial of permits/I.D. badges; administrative appeal); amending Section 19-230 (enforcement); amending Section 19-231 (violations); amending Section 19-235 (start-up); deleting Section 19-238 (jurisdiction); 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 captions; and providing an effective date.  SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Temporary Operating Agreements (TOA) with Rasier, LLC, a subsidiary of Uber Technologies, Inc. and Lyft, Inc., to operate as vehicle for hire companies in Palm Beach County which expire on April 30, 2016.  These transportation network companies seek to provide vehicle for hire services in Palm Beach County and significant revisions to the ordinance are being proposed to provide flexibility for TNC’s as well as maintain parity in a competitive industry and public safety.  Since the Legislature has not enacted any standards with regards to transportation network companies, staff is recommending the revised proposed Ordinance which is mainly based on previous direction from the BCC in September 2015.  Changes include: 1) apply ordinance to the unincorporated and incorporated areas of Palm Beach County; 2) group industry into two categories taxis vs. non-taxis; 3) modify vehicle identification requirements to allow for a vehicle trade dress or Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) issued decal; 4) modify insurance language to require policies in accordance with Florida Law; 5) allow alternative identification (i.e. digital platform) or an ID badge to be issued by the DCA; 6) allow all vehicle for hire companies to conduct their own comprehensive nationwide background checks through an accredited agency or the DCA can conduct a Level 2 background check; and 7) allow the DCA to conduct bi-annual audits of records maintained by all vehicle for hire companies.  This proposed amendment to the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance was presented to the vehicle for hire industry which included representation from Rasier, LLC on March 9, 2016.  At that meeting, the majority of the vehicle for hire industry representatives recommended the following changes which were not incorporated into the Ordinance since these changes were not the latest direction from the BCC in September 2015: 1) require DCA to conduct Level II background checks for all drivers; 2) require permanent vehicle decals issued by DCA; and 3) require all vehicle for hire companies to have commercial insurance through an admitted carrier backed by the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA) in accordance with Florida law relating to commercial vehicles for hire.
