spending for compliance with approved projects, and the following allocations:
50% to the School District, 30% to the County, and 20% to the Municipalities.

motion to:

SUMMARY: Rescinding the Modification is necessary because the DEM requested a minor change to the Modification after the Board approved the document.

the Emergency Contract for Provision of Ryan White Part A
HIV Health Support Services with the Health Care District of Palm Beach County
(R2015-0846), for the period March 1, 2015, through February 29, 2016,
increasing funding by $140,000 for a new total contract amount not to exceed $259,031.
Summary: The purpose of
this Amendment is to increase the Grant Year 15 contract amount by $140,000 to
provide funds for the bulk purchase of HIV medications for Ryan White clients. The
Department was unable to process a contract amendment within the grant period
due to a leadership change at the Health Care District of Palm Beach County

provide additional HIV medications to Palm Beach County residents living with
HIV/AIDS and meet shifting Ryan White service needs. This Amendment was executed by the County
Administrator in accordance with Resolution R2013-0519, which delegates
signatory authority to the County Administrator or her designee. This receive and

(R2013-1390), for the period October 1, 2015, through September 30, 2016, to

changes to the Exhibit B-2 Units of Service Definition of the agreement.
The requested changes only affect the cost unit definition and cost unit amount
and will not change the total amount of the amendment or services delivered to
the clients, but will ease the administrative strain that occurs when tracking
individual client interactions per the previous unit definition. The new unit
cost of $22. covers direct client services as compared
to the previous unit cost of $42.32 which included indirect client
services in addition to referral, service linkage and advocacy. The
Agency interacts with many clients per day and approving this change will allow
for more time to focus on client related matters. The annual contract

maintenance renewal and replacement of such items. Fixed equipment is
purchased, tracked and maintained by FDO. PBSO and County Staffs have
determined that it is in the best interests of both parties to have the
procurement of the modular furniture undertaken by the County to ensure the
proper coordination between the specifications and construction preparation and
in terms of installation and delivery. At the completion of construction, Staff

the NSP2 middle-income units, and to use the program income from those sales to
develop a 36 unit multi-family rental complex to be known as Mango Cove
Apartments (the Project). The NSP2 units
will be sold to home buyers with incomes no more than 120% of Area Median
Income (AMI) and will bear NSP2 affordability restrictions for 30 years. The Project will be located on an
unincorporated vacant property at 1561-1589 Florida Mango Road in West Palm
Beach. On April 7, 2016, the Project received Conditions of Approval for a
zoning variance, and the Project site plan is currently awaiting certification
after being presented to the Development Review Officer on April 13, 2016. Total development cost of the Project is $6.4
Million. Program income to be generated
by the sale of the NSP2 units is estimated at $2,925,000 and would be utilized
for construction costs and other eligible development costs in order to make
rental rates affordable. NRI has secured
a commitment for first mortgage financing of $3.12 Million from the Florida

raised to date and a deferred developer fee.
All apartments will be leased to households whose incomes are no more

recommends motion to approve: a Partial Release of a Utility Easement
over property owned by Hedrick 33, LLC and encumbered by an exclusive Easement
Deed to Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD).
SUmmary:
On April 13, 2015, Dave R. Hedrick and Cathleen T. Burk, the predecessors
in interest to Hedrick 33, LLC, granted the County a Utility Easement (OR BK
27498 PG 243-247) for a future utility pipe installation to serve a proposed
commercial site. A review of the preliminary plat for the encumbered property
revealed an encroachment of the County Utility Easement into an exclusive LWDD
easement (OR BK 4577 PG 1921). The LWDD Easement Deed grants LWDD has the
authority to permit utility installations in their easement. LWDD confirmed
that, following the release of the encroaching portion of the County Utility
Easement, it will process a Utility Permit application for the proposed pipe
installation. Water Utilities Department staff recommends the partial release
of that portion of the Utility Easement that encroaches into the LWDD easement.
The remaining portion of the Utility Easement will provide for adequate
protection and access to future County facilities. District 3 (MJ)

Summary: The Board of County Commissioners approved
Contracts B through J for Engineering/Consulting Services on June 3, 2014 and
Contract A Black & Veatch Corporation on January 14, 2014. The Water Utilities Department discovered an
ambiguity in the contract documents relating to mark ups on sub-consultants
contracts by the prime consultant. County procurement policies provide that a
prime consultant may receive up to a 10% mark-up on services provided by
sub-consultants when the services are to be provided by a sub-consultant that
was not part of the original design team proposed to the County and the
services were not required in the original scope of work. The Contracts were unclear regarding the
applicability of this provision which created a conflict between Contracts and
approved Procurement policies. Amendment

4. PUBLIC HEARINGS – 9:30 A.M. (Motion to receive and
file: Proof of publication)
A. REVISED SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to adopt: 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, Florida;
providing for citizen oversight; providing ballot language and directing the Supervisor
of Elections to hold a countywide precinct referendum election on November 8,
2016. SUMMARY: On May 3, 2016,
the Board approved on first reading 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: 50% to the
School District, 30% to the County, and 20% to the Municipalities. The
ordinance has also been amended to include an alternate sunset provision
that the surtax will end earlier if $2.7 billion is collected before
prior to September 1st of any year that the Board agrees
to take all necessary action to repeal this Ordinance and notify the Florida
Department of Revenue prior to the applicable deadline so that the surtax will
not continue for the following calendar year. All funding must be
expended as prescribed by Florida Statutes.
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 on or before 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 (DOR) will distribute the surtax
directly to the School District, each Municipality, and the County.
An
interlocal agreement establishing
a distribution formula that would be inclusive of all proposed partners has been approved by the County and the
School Board. The Interlocal agreement will need to be approved by the
governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the County’s
population. Countywide (PFK)

A. PLANNING, ZONING & BUILDING
1. Staff recommends motion
to adopt: a Resolution denying the request to
delegate to the Town
Council of the Town of Lake Clarke Shores the exercise of all powers and
responsibilities conferred on Palm Beach County by the Community Redevelopment
Act for the purpose of establishing and operating the Town of Lake Clarke
Shores Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).
SUMMARY: The item before the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) is to consider the creation of a new CRA at the
request of the Town of Lake Clarke Shores within its municipal limits,
generally located between Interstate 95 and Florida Mango Road, on the north
and south sides of Forest Hill Boulevard. Chapter
163, Part III, F.S., gives the BCC, as the governing body of a charter county,
full discretion to approve or deny a request to create a CRA within a
municipality. The Town is seeking a delegation of all powers and
responsibilities conferred in Chapter 163, Part III, F.S. including creation of
a Redevelopment Trust Fund that utilizes increases in property tax revenues
that would otherwise go to the County and other taxing authorizes unless exempt
pursuant to the statute. Specifically, the Town is requesting the County to:
find that the “blighted area” proposed for the CRA meets the criteria contained
in Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes; delegate authority to create a
Community Redevelopment agency to the Town; allow the Town to adopt a Community
Redevelopment Plan; and authorize the establishment of a Redevelopment Trust
Fund. While the Town concluded in the Finding of Necessity report that
this area met 5 of the 15 criteria as factors present for blight, staff's
assessment is that the conditions in the proposed area do not meet the
definition of blight, as defined in Chapter 163.340(8), F.S., since there is no
existence of slum and blighted conditions contributing to the spread of disease
and crime, contributing to the decrease in tax base, nor substantially
impairing or hindering sound growth. District
