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)… 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)
30 8A ADD-ON: Request approval to present off-site, a Proclamation
declaring April 2016 as “Landscape Architecture Month” in Palm Beach County.

Abatement-Unsafe Structure (NAUS) Claim of Lien on February 10, 2000 against

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. The oldest detention facilities involved in these projects
have been in operation on a 24/7 basis for over 30 years and the newest for 20
years; all without any renewal/replacement projects having been completed.
End of life issues including reliability, have already increased
maintenance costs and will impact ability to maintain operations if the replacements
are not completed. Some of these
projects have been backlogged 3-8 years and as such, need to be undertaken as
soon as possible. To that end, Staff and
PBSO have developed a five year program to implement these changes while
maintaining operations and minimizing additional staffing costs. The
purpose of this contract is to have a single contractor provide construction
services to reduce the time and cost associated with familiarizing various
contractors with the facility conditions, operating procedures, and security
requirements and the County asset standards. 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. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide

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

SUMMARY: The above property is
being acquired in accordance with Palm Beach International Airport’s approved
Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study, which recommended the acquisition of the
property. In 1997, the Department of Airports
initiated a voluntary land acquisition program west of PBIA. The
subject parcel is a 10,454 square feet vacant site on the northwest corner of Wallis
Road and the unimproved right of way of Victor Road. Its location was previously in an area that
was developed with residential properties.
Nearly all of the property in the neighborhood has been acquired by the
airport. An offer to purchase was
presented to the seller on February 11, 2016 at the appraised fair market value
of $125,000. All purchases, sales and exchanges of real estate must be approved by a
supermajority vote (5 Commissioners) pursuant to the Property &
Real Estate Management (PREM) Ordinance. Countywide (HJF)
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. Countywide (AH)

C. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
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. (University). The University will use the proceeds to
finance the cost of capital expenditures to the University's educational
facilities located at 3601 North Military Trail in Boca Raton, including but
not limited to a new dormitory facility.
All financed assets will be owned and operated by the University.
Approval by an elected body is required by the Internal Revenue Code;
however, adoption of this resolution does not in any way obligate
the County. 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)
D. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
1. Staff
recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public
hearing on April 19, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
to be designated as the Palm Beach County Parks and Natural Areas Trespass Ordinance;
providing for a short title; providing for definitions including criteria on
when a trespass notice may be issued; providing for authorization to issue
trespass notices; providing for appeal of trespass notices; providing for
inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for repeal of laws in
conflict; providing for severability; providing for enforcement; providing for
penalty; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. Summary: This Ordinance, to be known as the Palm
Beach County Parks and Natural Areas Trespass Ordinance, will provide a
procedure to temporarily enjoin persons
found violating certain County
ordinances, rules or regulations; certain State laws; or notices contained on a
posted sign from returning to county parks or natural areas identified

law enforcement officer acting within his/her jurisdiction. An alleged violator may appeal a Trespass
Notice within ten days of issuance by filing a request for appeal and paying a
$20 fee and will be afforded a hearing before a Palm Beach County special
magistrate. If the Trespass Notice is not appealed or the County prevails in an
appeal, the violator will be enjoined from returning to specified County owned
and/or managed parks and/or natural areas for one year for a first violation, five
years for a second violation and ten years for a subsequent violation. Countywide

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. Districts 4 & 5 (MJ)

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

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. Countywide (JB)
