traffic impact areas include the roads south of PGA
Boulevard, west of I-95 and along Northlake Boulevard. Additionally, in the western area, roads within an area
bordered by Northlake Boulevard, Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, Okeechobee
Boulevard and (the right-of-way of) State Road 7 (SR7) will be affected.
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Palm Beach County must enter into a binding
agreement with the Applicant for the proportionate share of transportation
impacts associated with the Project. The
agreement requires the developer to construct Northlake Boulevard (Grapeview
Boulevard - SR7 Extension) as a six lane road and the Avenir connector road
(Northlake Boulevard – Beeline Highway) as a two lane road prior to moving past
the 1000th residential unit. The developer will receive a credit in

motion to approve: Contract with Grid-One Electrical Construction,
Inc. in the amount of $1,037,000 for the John Prince Park (JPP) Campground High
Voltage Distribution Replacement project, located in Lake Worth. SUMMARY: This project consists of
constructing a new 25KV high voltage overhead and underground distribution
system including a new primary meter system.
In September 2014, Hillers Electrical Engineering completed a study on
the overhead distribution system deemed necessary due to the systems apparent
deteriorating condition, and the need to determine the capacity for additional
electrical loads expected as a result of utility upgrades being designed for
the campground. The study found that the current condition of the existing
overhead lines along with electrical capacity issues necessitates an upgrade
and expansion of the existing overhead distribution system from a single phase
to three phase service. This work was
competitively bid with Grid-One Electrical Construction, Inc. submitting the
lowest responsive, responsible bid.
Funding for this Contract is from Park Impact Fees Zone 2 and Zone 3,
and the proposed work is consistent with the John Prince Park Campground Phase
III Capital Improvements Program (CIP) project description. The Impact Fee Coordinator has approved the
use of impact fees for this project. The
total construction duration is 179 calendar days. The goal for Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) participation is 15% and Grid-One Electrical Construction, Inc.’s

Summary: On November 17,

investment earnings from roads, parks, and public buildings for affordable
housing projects. CLT submitted a request for assistance in response to a
Notice of Funding Availability issued in August 23, 2015, by the Department of

and Zone 4 Road Impact Fees ($117,612.00) for DLW which will have a total of 24
units. The DLW project will be located at 4938 Davis Road in unincorporated
Palm Beach County. All 24 affordable rental units are intended to be
rented to persons of moderate income whose incomes are at or below 120% of the
area median income. A Declaration of Restrictions will be recorded
against the property to secure the funds and ensure a 15 year affordability period.
CLT may at any time, prior to the expiration of the 15 year term of the
Declaration of Restrictions, repay the County the entire $121,668.72 secured by
the Declaration of Restrictions without penalty. Upon the receipt of said
amount, the County will provide CLT a Release of Restrictions thereby removing
the restrictions encumbering their property. This project is projected to

roadway and related infrastructure improvements at the Lake Worth Park of
Commerce. DES provided the City
technical assistance in submitting a public works grant application to EDA
seeking $1,389,100 in funding. On
February 12, 2016, EDA informed the County and the City that the grant
application to support the development of the Lake Worth Park of Commerce was
approved. This Amendment memorializes
the scope of services in the MOU and the City’s payment to the County for pre-award
grant preparation and submission costs of $10,000 and provides for compensation
of $20,000 to the County for grant administration services. The Budget Amendment will recognize and
appropriate these funds. The Lake Worth
Park of Commerce infrastructure improvements, estimated to cost $5,426,600,
will be partially funded with $1,389,100 through EDA’s Public Works
Program. These are Federal EDA funds
which require a local match which will be provided by the City of Lake Worth as
the applicant. No County local match is

On October 20, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved an
Agreement (R2015-1484) with JAY for $9,058 under the CDBG Program. Funding was to partially cover costs
associated with the operations of an emergency shelter facility which provides

consistent with the Palm Beach County Consolidated Plan. The purpose of
the ROSS Service Coordinator Program is to assist residents of public housing
in making progress towards economic and housing self-sufficiency. DES examined
the proposed program’s goals and objectives outlined in the program narrative
and determined that they are consistent with the overall Consolidated Plan to
improve access to affordable rental housing and promote self-sufficiency and

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution amending the Florida Department
of Health in Palm Beach County Fee Schedule (Resolution R2014-1612) to add fees
to provide reduced rates to the self-pay uninsured population for Sexual
Transmitted Diseases (STD) medical and laboratory services. SUMMARY: This
Resolution amends the fee schedule previously approved on October 21, 2014,
R2014-1612, by adding a discounted fee for STD medical and laboratory services
for the self-pay uninsured population.
The current fee being charged for patients seeking this service is based
on the Medicare rate and is approximately $159.
The proposed fee of $58.20 for new patients and $48.84 for an
established (existing) patient will provide for a medical assessment,
laboratory services and dispensing of medications. It is expected that with the addition of
reduced fees more patients will be encouraged to seek STD testing and
treatment, resulting in more access to care for low income and the uninsured
population. The expected increase in
patient volume will negate the decrease in revenue being received for the visit
at the current rate. All fees collected
for this service are used to offset the costs of providing these services

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) on preliminary reading and
advertise for public hearing on May 17, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance
imposing a countywide local government infrastructure surtax of one percent
(1.0%) on all authorized taxable transactions occurring within Palm Beach County, as authorized by Section
212.055(2), Florida Statutes, effective beginning January 1, 2017, for a period
of ten years; providing that imposition of the surtax shall be contingent on
approval at a countywide referendum; providing for distribution of surtax
revenues among the county, the municipalities in the county, and the School Board
of Palm Beach County, FL; providing for citizen oversight; providing ballot
language and directing the Supervisor of Elections to hold a countywide
precinct referendum election on November 8, 2016; and
B) an interlocal agreement among
Palm Beach County, the School Board of Palm Beach County, and the Signatory
Municipalities (municipalities representing a majority of incorporated
population will bind all) pertaining to the shared distribution and use of the
one cent local government infrastructure surtax.
SUMMARY: On March 22, 2016, the Board approved an
infrastructure surtax plan for one cent, maximum 10 years, creation of an
oversight committee to audit spending for compliance with approved projects,
and the following allocations: 48% to the School District, 27.5% to the County,
18.5% to the Municipalities, 4.5% for Economic Development through Cultural
Facilities, and 1.5% for Economic Development Incentives. All funding must be expended as prescribed
by Florida Statutes and Board of County Commissioners economic development
guidelines.
This Ordinance for a one-cent infrastructure
surtax includes ballot language for a referendum scheduled for November 8,
2016. If approved by the voters, the surtax will begin on January 1, 2017 for
ten years, ending December 31, 2026. In addition to creating an oversight
committee(s), a project manager will be hired or assigned to
coordinate and monitor the program.
The local discretionary sales surtaxes apply
to all transactions subject to the state tax imposed on sales, use, services,
rentals, admissions, and other authorized transactions. The surtax applies to
the first $5,000 of any single taxable tangible personal property item. Items
such as groceries, baby food, baby formula, and medicines are exempt from sales
tax. Levying this surtax will partially shift the funding responsibility to
visitors; about 25% of sales tax in Palm Beach County is paid by visitors, as
opposed to funding infrastructure backlog through property taxes.
Florida’s Department of Revenue will distribute the surtax directly to
the School District, each Municipality, and the County. The Economic
Development projects for cultural facilities and incentives will be based on
the County’s policies and procedures and each distribution, through contractual
agreements, will be approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
The interlocal agreement has been approved by
the School Board and several Municipalities: Atlantis, Belle Glade, Boynton
Beach, Delray Beach, Greenacres, Highland Beach, Jupiter Inlet Colony, Lake
Clarke Shores, Lake Worth, Lantana, Loxahatchee Groves, Pahokee, Palm Springs,
Royal Palm Beach, South Bay, Wellington, and West Palm Beach. These cities
represent 63% of the incorporated population. Other cities are considering the
interlocal agreement and will be added as signatory municipalities as they

share payments/developer construction in the amount of $110,596,026 $105,392,621
over the life of the 20 year project associated with the transportation impacts
of the Avenir Development (Project). SUMMARY:
Approval of this Agreement will allow the Applicant to commit to the
proportionate share of $110,596,026 $105,392,621. This
payment, or developer construction of certain projects, will satisfy countywide
traffic concurrency for the Project. The project is located on the north side
of Northlake Boulevard, east of Grapeview Boulevard and is within the City of
Palm Beach Gardens. The most significant
traffic impact areas include the roads south of PGA Boulevard, west of I-95 and
along Northlake Boulevard. Additionally,
in the western area, roads within an
area bordered by Northlake Boulevard, Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, Okeechobee
Boulevard and (the right-of-way of) State Road 7 (SR7) will be affected.
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Palm Beach County must enter into a binding
agreement with the Applicant for the proportionate share of transportation
impacts associated with the Project. The
agreement requires the developer to construct Northlake Boulevard (Grapeview
Boulevard - SR7 Extension) as a six lane road and the Avenir connector road
(Northlake Boulevard – Beeline Highway) as a two lane road prior to moving past
the 1000th residential unit. The developer will receive a credit in

C) find and declare an emergency purchase to approve an $103,750 Contract
with Bunnell Foundation, Inc. to provide a “turn-key” service that includes
accepting liability of the ship, preparation, towing and scuttling of the ship
within a designated permitted County artificial reef site;
D) authorize the County Administrator, or her designee, to approve and sign all future modifications and other forms associated with this contract, and necessary minor amendments that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms or conditions of this Contract;
E) adopt Resolution
authorizing the Clerk of the Board to disburse $125,000 from the Vessel
Registration Fee Trust Fund to cover the project costs, dockage fees and
contingencies; and
F) approve
Budget Transfer of $125,000
from the Environmental Enhancement Saltwater Fund (1224) from Reserves for the M/V Ana Cecilia project.
Summary: Artificial reefs provide habitat for reef organisms, including soft and stony
corals and the fishes and invertebrates that live among them. The U.S. Customs Service offers the ship to
the County, if the County will take the ship quickly, making an emergency
purchase necessary. The ship, which is accruing daily dockage fees, has to be
transferred to the County or sold at auction. Attempts at a competitive process
included contacting the only two other locally known vendors capable of such
work, who declined interest. The Resolution authorizes the Clerk to transfer $125,000
from the Vessel Registration Fee Trust Fund into the Environmental Enhancement
Saltwater Fund to cover the costs for the preparation, towing and scuttling of
the ship off Lake Worth Inlet, which will also provide a unique recreational

offered to sell the undeveloped parcel to the County for $1,850. The property appraisal lists the assessed
value as being $330. However, the
Property Appraiser’s valuations do not reflect the prices of recorded sales in
the area. Under the Property & Real
Estate Management Ordinance 2002-067, an appraisal is not required since the
proposed purchase price is less than $25,000.
The County will pay title insurance, closing and recording costs
estimated to be less than $500. A
pre-acquisition environmental assessment will be performed on the property by
Environmental Resources Management (ERM).
A boundary survey will not be obtained due to the remote location and
low value of the land. ERM will be
