the implementation of Property Assessed Clean Energy
(PACE) in Palm Beach County. Items requiring direction include:…Summary:
The Florida PACE Legislation was authorized in 2010
under Section 163.08, F.S. The legislation provides a general framework within
which local governments (municipality, county, dependent special district or
separate legal entity) have flexibility to create and administer PACE programs.
PACE programs allow a qualified property owner, residential or commercial, to
voluntarily finance energy efficiency improvements and repay through a non-ad
valorem assessment, which is repaid through their annual tax bill. Eligible projects can include energy
efficiency, renewable energy and wind resistance improvements….The most active
PACE programs in Florida include: RenewPACE, formerly known as Florida Green Energy Works
(Authority: Florida Green Finance Authority, Administrator: Renew Financial);
The E-Vest Program (Authority: Florida PACE Funding Agency, Administrator: Leidos Counterpointe Energy Solutions); and
the Clean Energy Green Corridor (Authority: Clean Energy Corridor District,

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Golf Tournament Agreement with Trump International
Golf Club, L.C. and the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County for a one day
charitable golf tournament to be held on November 7, 2016. SUMMARY: The Development Site Lease
Agreement with the Trump International Golf Club, L.C. (Trump), approved
September 3, 1996 (R96-1277D), allows the use of the golf course during the
months of May through October for the County to host either a single two-day,
or two one-day charitable golf tournament(s). The Golf Tournament Agreement provides
for the Trump International Golf Club to be available exclusively for the
tournament to be held on November 7, 2016. Proceeds from the tournament will
benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County. Countywide (AH)
2. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: 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 binding all) pertaining to
the shared distribution and use of the one cent local government infrastructure
surtax. SUMMARY: An Interlocal Agreement establishing a distribution
formula that would be inclusive of all proposed partners was approved by the
County and the School Board at a joint meeting on May 10, 2016. Since that meeting, twenty-one municipalities
representing more than a majority, sixty-four percent (64%), of the County’s
incorporated population have approved the Interlocal Agreement. The
municipalities are: Atlantis, Belle Glade, Boynton Beach, Briny Breezes, Delray
Beach, Greenacres, Haverhill, Highland Beach, Jupiter Inlet Colony, Lake Clarke
Shores, Lake Park, Lake Worth, Lantana, Loxahatchee Groves, Pahokee, Palm Springs,
Royal Palm, South Bay, South Palm Beach, Wellington and West Palm Beach. 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. Countywide (PFK)

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County acquired a 0.25
acre property located north of Maine Street and west of Kirk Road in
unincorporated Lake Worth by Final Judgment in 1971. This property is
unbuildable, serves no present or future County purpose and has remained on the
surplus property list since it was acquired. The Property Appraiser has assessed the parcel
at $270 for 2015. Pursuant to Florida

private sale of the parcel upon a finding that the value of a parcel is $15,000
or less and when due to its size, shape, location and value it is of use to
only one or more adjacent property owners.
In October 2015, PREM was contacted by an adjacent property owner
regarding a purchase of a 0.09 acre portion of the county’s 0.25 acre
property. In accordance with Florida
Statutes Section 125.35(2), notice of the County’s intent to sell this 0.09
acre portion was sent to adjacent property owners of the entire 0.25 acre
County parcel. Three responses of

motion to approve: allocation of $460,000 for use as the required local
government contribution under the Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s (FHFC)
Housing Tax Credit Program. Summary: FHFC administers the State
of Florida’s Housing Tax Credit Program and annually solicits applications from
affordable multi-family rental housing developers who require Housing Tax
Credits for the financing of their projects. The Housing Tax Credit Program
requires local government contributions in order for developer applications to
receive full scoring during the application review process. Palm Beach County through the Department of
Economic Sustainability (DES) has historically provided the required local
government contribution in the form of low-interest loans to affordable housing
developers who apply to FHFC for Housing Tax Credits. The State’s Housing Tax Credit Program
allocates financial assistance to affordable multi-family rental housing
projects which provide housing opportunities to lower income households. DES is
seeking authorization to provide up to $460,000 or $115,000 in loan commitments
to each of up to four local affordable housing developers, for use as the
required local government contribution at the time they apply to FHFC under the
Housing Tax Credit Program. FHFC has
tentatively scheduled the publication of its Housing Tax Credit Program Request
for Applications for November 3, 2016, with the deadline for receipt of
developer applications scheduled for December 8, 2016. According to FHFC selection guidelines, only
one application from a Palm Beach County Housing Tax Credit Program developer
will be selected. DES will advertise a
Notice of Funding Availability seeking Letters of Interest from affordable
multi-family housing developers. Should the $460,000 allocated hereby not be
fully committed to the four affordable multi-family housing developers as
anticipated above, the balance of uncommitted funds may be committed to
developers in conjunction with FHFC’s State Apartment Incentive Loan
Program. A County Funding Agreement with
the developer who is awarded funding by FHFC under the Housing Tax Credit
Program will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for final
approval. This $460,000 allocation is
derived from State Housing Initiatives Program (SHIP) program income. Any DES funding not obligated to a successful
Housing Tax Credit project will be reallocated by DES to other eligible
affordable housing activities. These are State Housing Initiative
Partnership (SHIP) Program grant funds, which require no local match. Countywide

a lumber yard and impacted by chemicals associated with the treatment of
lumber. Banyan Development plans to develop the Subject Property as a retail
center, which the Palm Beach County Planning and Zoning Divisions have
confirmed is allowed with the CL-Commercial Low future land use designation and
MUPD-Multiple Use Planned Development zoning on the site. Prior to developing, Banyan Development is
seeking a “Green Reuse Area” designation under Florida’s Brownfields Redevelopment
Act. Section 376.80(12), Florida Statutes does not require a local government

awarded a grant from the State of Florida, Department of Health, in the amount
of $625,000 for a five year funding cycle, beginning February 1, 2016, and
ending on January 31, 2021, to implement the Green Dot Strategy. This strategy
is a comprehensive approach to violence prevention that capitalizes on the
power of peer and cultural influence. It
targets community members as potential bystanders, and seeks to engage them,
through awareness, education and skills practice, in proactive behaviors that
establish intolerance of violence as the norm, as well as reactive
interventions in high-risk situations resulting in the ultimate reduction of
violence. The focus population is Palm

after they are sterilized, microchipped, and vaccinated. PAARL is paid $50 for the services provided
to each cat and $100 for the services provided to each dog. This Amendment will extend the Agreement by
four months to be consistent with the County’s fiscal year and will increase

and
B) approve a Budget Amendment of $2,259,670 in Palm
Tran’s Grant Fund 1341 to reconcile the current budget to the actual amount of

opportunities for non-sponsored transportation disadvantaged citizens, not
covered under American with Disabilities Act regulations, to obtain access to
transportation for daily living needs when they are not sponsored for that need
by any other available federal, state or local funding source. These services are provided by Palm Tran

been awarded $2,942,044, which requires a local match of 10% or $326,894 for a
total grant agreement of $3,268,938. However, the total cost to provide TD
Service is $5,420,415, which requires the County to overmatch in the amount of
$2,151,477 in order to maintain the program at its current level. At the January 28, 2014 Workshop, the BCC

Caron of Florida, Inc. (the Borrower), a Florida not-for-profit corporation
which is exempt from taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986; and
2) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing the issuance of the
Revenue Bonds (Caron of Florida, Inc. Project), Series 2016, in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding $7,500,000, for the purpose of making a loan of
funds to Caron of Florida, Inc. in order to finance the cost of: (1) refunding
the County’s Amended and Restated Tax-Exempt Adjustable Mode Revenue Bonds
(Caron Foundation of Florida, Inc. Project) Series 2008; and (2) issuance of
the Bonds; providing that such revenue bonds shall not constitute a debt,
liability or obligation of Palm Beach County, Florida, or the State of Florida
or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be payable solely from the
revenues herein provided; approving and authorizing the execution and delivery
of a Loan Agreement with Caron of Florida, Inc. to provide security for such
bonds, and for other matters therein provided; approving and authorizing the
execution and delivery of a Trust Indenture; approving and authorizing the

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. REVISED
SUMMARY: Staff requests
Board direction: regarding
the implementation of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) in Palm Beach
County. Items requiring direction
include:
A)
Implementation of PACE Countywide;
B)
Implementation of residential or commercial PACE or both;
C)
Creation of an PACE program administered by County staff; or
D)
Participation in one or more established PACE programs.
SUMMARY: The Florida PACE Legislation was authorized in 2010 under
Section 163.08, F.S. The legislation provides a general framework within which
local governments (municipality, county, dependent special district or separate
legal entity) have flexibility to create and administer PACE programs. PACE programs allow a qualified property
owner, residential or commercial, to voluntarily finance energy efficiency
improvements and repay through a non-ad valorem assessment, which is repaid
through their annual tax bill. Eligible
projects can include energy efficiency, renewable energy and wind resistance
improvements. The PACE structure
addresses a barrier to implementing these types of improvements by providing
financing to the property owner.
Assessments are secured by the property itself and nonpayment generally
results in the same set of repercussions as failure to pay any other portion of
a tax bill.
Local governments have two options to implement PACE: 1) creation of its own PACE program; or 2)
participate in one or more established PACE programs. The majority of PACE
programs in Florida were formed by local governments to operate for local
governments and utilize a third party administrator. The most active PACE programs in Florida
include: RenewPACE,
formerly known as Florida Green Energy Works (Authority: Florida Green Finance
Authority, Administrator: Renew Financial); The E-Vest Program (Authority:
Florida PACE Funding Agency, Administrator: Leidos
Counterpointe Energy Solutions); and the Clean Energy Green Corridor
(Authority: Clean Energy Corridor District, Administrator: Ygreene).
To join an existing program, the County would be required to enter into an
interlocal agreement or subscription agreement. Additionally, agreements
between an Authority and the County Property Appraiser and Tax Collector are
required to levy, assess and collect the payments. Establishment of a PACE
program for Palm Beach County residents aligns with the County’s Go Green
Initiative and the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact. Countywide

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, recommending approval of Project CHOP, a company authorized to do
business in the State of Florida, as a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) business
pursuant to s.288.106, Florida Statutes; providing for local financial support
for the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program with High-Impact Sector
bonus in the form of a grant not to exceed $25,000 and
providing for an effective date; and
B) conceptually approve
an Economic Development Incentive for Project CHOP in the form of a Grant over
five years, in the amount not to exceed $25,000 as a portion of the local match
for the State’s Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund ($25,000).
Summary: Project
CHOP is considering expanding its existing West Palm Beach facility to
accommodate the relocation of its regional headquarters. The company
plans to invest $600,000 to build out and renovate an existing building and
create 50 new jobs over a two year period at an annualized average wage of
$50,675 and a medium wage of $60,000. The company will retain 66 existing
jobs for an additional five years from the effective date of the agreement
between the County and company. Other states under consideration by the
company include Georgia. The State of Florida is considering a $250,000
incentive in the form of a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund. Of
this amount, $200,000 is from the State of Florida and $50,000 is from local
governmental entities. The local amount will be split equally between
Palm Beach County and the City of West Palm Beach. The local match from
Palm Beach County will be provided in the form of an economic development grant
in an amount not to exceed $25,000 over a period of five years provided the
project meets the requirements under the State of Florida. The cash grant
will be paid according to the State’s QTI refund schedule after the required
jobs are created, and will be secured by a letter of credit, bond, corporate
guarantee or equivalent. The company will be required to enter into a
formal agreement memorializing their commitments and establishing terms under
which the local match will be provided. At such time the company name
will be disclosed. The five year local economic impact is estimated to be
$257.2 Million. District 7 (JB)

motion to approve:
A) an Economic
Development Incentive Agreement with Sancilio & Company, Inc. (Company),
for an incentive in the form of an $82,500 local match paid according to the
State’s schedule for the Qualified Target Industry Program, and an incentive
with the Company in the amount not to exceed $417,500 paid over a six year

B) a
Budget Transfer of $500,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves to the
Department of Economic Sustainability Fund Economic Incentive Growth Program;
and
C) a
Budget Amendment of $500,000 in the Department of Economic Sustainability Fund
to recognize the funds from the General Fund.
Summary: On March 10, 2015,
the Board of County Commissioners conceptually approved (R2015-1355) an
Economic Development Incentive for the Company totaling $500,000. This
Agreement discloses the name of the Company, Sancilio & Company, Inc., previously
referred to as Project Pisces. The Agreement requires the Company to make
a minimum $6.5 Million capital investment, create 275 new full-time jobs over a
50 month period starting March 1, 2015, at an average annualized wage of
$57,500 excluding benefits, and retain its 149 existing jobs. The Company
will maintain the new and retained jobs for a period of five years following
the job creation period. The State of
Florida is providing the Company $3,000,000 from the Quick Action Closing Fund
(QACF) and $825,000 in the form of a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund
and has entered into agreements with the Company for both. The County and
City of Riviera Beach (where the Company is located) are providing the required
local QTI match of $165,000 which will be split equally at $82,500 from
each. The County is also providing a local QACF incentive in the amount
of $417,500 and City of Riviera Beach is providing a local QACF incentive in
the amount of $167,500 for a total of $585,000 in QACF local support.
This project is expected to have a five year economic impact of $339
Million. The Company shall, without risk of violating any laws, make best
efforts to develop and implement hiring policies that provide Palm Beach County
residents preference in the hiring process. This Economic Development
Incentive Grant will be secured by a Letter of Credit, Bond, Corporate
Guarantee, or equivalent security. District 7 (JB)

Development for Village Center Apartments; and
B) a Budget Amendment of $250,000 in the Housing
and Community Development Fund to recognize the transfer from the General Fund
to appropriate funds for the payment.
Summary: On July 21, 2015 (R2015-0926), the Board
approved a Settlement Agreement with HUD for the repayment of HOME funds
expended on a loan to Village Centre Apartments, Ltd. for the development of 84
rental apartments to have been located at 500 25th Street, West Palm
Beach. HOME funds were expended on
acquisition and predevelopment costs, but ultimately the project failed for
reasons beyond the control of the County, including a substantial rise in
construction costs during the planning stage, repeated delays in the
development approval process, and the downturn in the housing market.
Because the project did not result in affordable housing, the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required repayment of the funds.
The Settlement Agreement requires the refunding of the County’s
HOME Trust Fund Account in the amount of $900,000 from non-Federal funds to the
County’s local HOME Trust Fund Account in three annual payments of which the
first payment of $400,000 has been made.
Approval of this Agenda Item will allocate $250,000 of general funds to
make the second scheduled payment, which is due no later than July 31,
2016. After repayment to the County’s

motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the issuance of a not exceeding
$100,000,000 Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida (the
“Authority”), Homeowner Revenue Bonds, Multiple Series (the “Bonds”) within the
meaning of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
proceeds of which are to be used to implement its Single Family Homeowner
Program (the "Program"), which Program is for the purpose of
providing financing to qualified first-time homebuyers of single family
residential housing facilities within the Authority's area of operation; and
providing an effective date. Summary: The Program
would provide financing to qualified applicants for the purchase of single
family owner-occupied homes within the Authority’s area of operation through
the provision of below market interest rate mortgage loans over a three year
origination period. In 2016, the income
limit for a one or two person household applying to the Program is $76,156, and
the income limit for households having three or more persons is $87,579. Income limits are adjusted annually by the
U.S. Treasury Department. To implement
the Program, the Authority will apply for private activity bond allocation to
issue such Bonds in one or more series, or the Authority may elect to convert
all or a portion of any private activity bond allocation for the issuance of
bonds to finance multifamily rental housing projects for occupancy by persons
or families at 60% of area median income. Prior to the issuance of any bonds,
the Authority will seek approval from the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
in accordance with Section 2-190, Palm Beach County Code of Ordinances. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and

B) Emergency Contract No. 750749 with Norred & Associates, Inc. in the
amount of $1,976,182.15 for uniformed security guard services for general
locations throughout Palm Beach County.
SUMMARY: On June 1, 2016, the County Administrator approved the cancellation of
Invitation for Bid (IFB) 16-019/MB for uniformed security guard services for
various locations throughout Palm Beach County because the County received
three non-responsive bids. Since 2013, Facilities Development & Operations
(FDO), Purchasing Department and the Office of Small Business Assistance (OSBA)
have had lengthy discussions and meetings regarding vendor and other related
issues resulting from the bifurcation of one uniformed security guard contract.
After two voluntary vendor separations and a bid cancellation, FDO, Purchasing
and OSBA have jointly come to the conclusion that it is in the best interest of
the County to recommend that the Uniformed Security Guard Contract for Judicial
Locations and the Uniformed Security Guard Contract for General Locations be
recombined into a single solicitation; and an emergency contract with Norred
& Associates (Norred) be recommended to provide for the services until the
conclusion of the new solicitation. This emergency contract will not only
provide the County with the continuation of security services, but will allow
sufficient time to create the new all-encompassing IFB. The new solicitation
will include: 1) a requirement to develop a subcontractor mentoring program,
and 2) a 20% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) requirement. Norred has agreed to
honor the terms and conditions of its 2013 bid proposal with price adjustments
pursuant to that solicitation resulting in a contract price of
$1,976,182.15. The term of this
emergency contract is for twelve months.
Funding for this contract is from a variety of operating departments
with different funding sources. Norred
is a non-SBE vendor, who has committed twenty percent (20%) SBE
participation by utilizing an SBE subcontractor. Norred is located in Palm Beach County.

motion to:
A) approve an
Interlocal Agreement between Palm Beach County and the Town of Lake Clarke Shores;
B) adopt a
Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
delegating the exercise of powers conferred by Chapter 163, Part III, Florida
Statutes, “The Community Redevelopment Act of 1969" to the Town Council of
the Town of Lake Clarke Shores, with the conditions that the Board retain
authority to expand boundaries of the Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), that
the Fire Rescue taxes and any taxes from any special district created before or
after the effective date of this resolution be exempted from the tax increment
to be paid to the CRA; providing for effective date and duration of existence;
and providing for severability.
SUMMARY: The item before the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) is to approve 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. The Town of Lake Clarke Shores
requested that Palm Beach County delegate all redevelopment powers within the
proposed redevelopment area to the Town. The Town
adopted Resolution No. 15-30 accepting the Finding of Necessity Report
which makes the finding that a blighted area exists in the Town and there is a
necessity to create a Community Redevelopment Agency to alleviate impacts of
the blighted conditions. The BCC, as the governing
body of a charter county, has full discretion to approve or deny a request to create
a CRA within a municipality as allowed by Chapter 163, Part III, F.S. The Finding of Necessity Report provides the
County with a basis for determination that the CRA complies with the Florida
Statutes. The Resolution delegates powers to the municipality for the proposed
CRA and exempts the County Fire Rescue Municipal Service Taxing Unit from
payment of tax increment funds to the CRA. The base property values for
calculating the tax increment are as of January 1, 2016 and the duration of the
delegated powers is not to exceed 40 years. The Interlocal Agreement
establishes the terms under which the CRA is created, establishing the shared
revenue process. The Agreement also establishes that the County is exempt from
future payments to the Redevelopment Trust Fund once a total payment of tax
increment reaches $3,200,000. District 3 (RPB)

amount of $35,531 for one month of operating costs for CFS, for the continued
operation of Pat Reeves Village, the only emergency shelter for homeless
families with dependent children in Palm Beach County. The request is in
response to the notification to staff by the CFS Board President that Pat
Reeves Village would close on May 31, 2016 due to impending closure of the
Agency. The Board approved the payment to allow adequate time for a transition
plan to be developed with AAF to take over the operations of the shelter’s 19
apartments, which house homeless families with dependent children. The
Amendment to the FAA contract includes $25,000 for mobilization and start up
costs to assist AAF with this new program.
Approval of this item will allow AAF to provide services to the clients
