288.11631. Certified applicants then
enter into a funding agreement to access specific funds set aside in F.S.

Pursuant to this Agreement, the State will pay the County $50,000,000 in
equal monthly payments of $166,667.00 for a period of 25 years. Since the County has issued bonds for the
construction of the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and the funding received from
State will be used to pay a portion of the debt services on those bonds, the
County cannot be decertified. On or before September 1 annually throughout the
term of this Agreement, the County shall submit an annual report to FDEO which
will be coordinated by the Office of Financial Management and Budget with
contributions also being made by Facilities Development & Operations and
Tourist Development Council/Sports Commission.
In addition, the County shall submit monthly status reports on the
development of the stadium. The County agrees that it will seek FDEO’s approval
prior to making any material changes, amendments, modification, extensions or

SUMMARY: The
America’s Next Top Neighborhood Grant (ANTNG) is a Program created under the
Resident Education to Action Program (REAP) to provide funding for eligible
neighborhood improvement projects and initiatives. The Program was created as
an incentive for neighborhood groups and individuals to become partners with
County government in the betterment of the community. For the ANTNG FY 2016
funding cycle, the OCR implemented two, five week REAP sessions. One session
was conducted in the Glades/Lake Region from January 28 through February 25,
2016 and the other session was held in central Palm Beach County from March 8
through April 5, 2016. Upon completion of the two sessions, OCR staff and the REAP
Steering Committee evaluated the fifty six applications that were received.
Thirty projects are recommended for funding in an amount totaling One Hundred
and Thirty Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty Dollars ($130,850). The projects will
be completed in FY 2017 and include a variety of activities. Staff is
requesting BCC approval of the Agreements and related funding. All funds will
be drawn from the general REAP/Community Connect Initiative account. Countywide

provide three lanes. The Palm Beach County Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal
for all projects is 15% overall. Community proposed an SBE participation of
14.86% which does not meet the SBE requirement for this project, but the next
lowest bidder that met the SBE requirement was over 10% higher and therefore
outside the range of ranking for responsive bidders. Approval of the $67,188
budget transfer and budget amendment will increase the reserves in Road Impact
Fee Zone 1 to reimburse the fund for expenses incurred for the Project which
are not impact fee eligible. District

notice to proceed to Community, a Palm Beach County
based company, to begin construction of the Project. Although Ranger Construction Industries provided the lowest bid, it was
determined after a compliance review by SBE that the contract should be awarded
to Community, as they were within the range of ranking and provided the
greatest amount of SBE participation of the bidders. The Palm Beach County

utilizing the services of AAA to provide assistance to senior Elmore applicants
in Palm Beach County. DOSS is the designated Lead Agency for Community Care Service
Area Palm Beach A, and as such is uniquely qualified to provide the services
under this Agreement in conjunction with the services it currently provides to

stream will be expanded along with construction of new retaining walls,
waterfalls, benches, pervious sidewalk, stone steps, and plantings. The project is consistent with the approved
Master Plan for the Gardens and the design was approved by Friends of the
Mounts Botanical Garden Inc. (Friends). The source of funding for the project
is a donation by the Friends. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for this
contract is 15%. Hedrick Brothers’ participation for this Amendment is 18.8%
and the cumulative for the contract is 21.6%. Hedrick Brothers is a Palm Beach

August 19, 2003 (R2003-1246) with Loggerhead MarineLife Center, Inc., a Florida
not-for-profit corporation (Center) to extend the 100% funding milestone
and project construction deadlines; and
B) approve a Third Amendment to Agreement of Lease.
SUMMARY: On August 19, 2003, the Board approved
a 30 year Lease with the Center to create a scientific research and
rehabilitation center for sea turtles on 1.28 acres within Loggerhead Park in
Juno Beach. On May 3, 2011 (R2011-0695),
the Board approved an expansion of the leased premises to 2.39 acres to
facilitate development of new classrooms and offices, exhibit areas, new
holding tanks and touch tanks, additional courtyard seating, a small outdoor
amphitheater and an expanded gift shop (Expansion Project) and added milestones
for fund raising and deadlines for construction. The Center is requesting an 18 month
extension of these deadlines as the Center desires to have sufficient reserves
for the operation and maintenance of the expanded facilities, prior to
commencing construction. This Third
Amendment: i) extends the milestone to raise 100% of the estimated cost
of the Expansion Project from May 2, 2016, to November 2, 2017; ii)
extends the deadline for commencement of construction to no later than November
2, 2017; iii) extends the construction completion deadline from May 2,

beneficiary provision to comply with County policy. Parks supports this
amendment and will continue to have administrative responsibility for the
Lease. All other terms and conditions of the Agreement of Lease remain

County Consolidated Plan for:
A) Glades-Diamond, Inc. in connection with their grant application to the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Supportive
Services Demonstration for Elderly Households in HUD-Assisted Multifamily
Housing Program (MHP); and
B) Villa Madonna, Inc. in connection with their grant application to HUD
under the MHP; and
C) Villa Regina of West Palm Beach, Inc. in connection with their grant
application to HUD under the MHP.
SUMMARY: SPM, LLC, a professional property management company, is applying to HUD
for grants under the MHP on behalf of three existing multi-family housing
projects for the elderly: the Glades-Diamond, Inc. in Belle Glade, Villa
Madonna, Inc. in Greenacres, and Villa Regina of West Palm Beach, Inc. in West
Palm Beach. A Certification of
Consistency with the Palm Beach County Consolidated Plan is required to be
submitted with each of the applications.
SPM, LLC submitted the program description of the MHP grant applications
to the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) for review and DES has
determined that the proposed grant activities are consistent with the goals and
objectives outlined in the Palm Beach County Consolidated Plan. The purpose of the MHP is to: link elderly
residents to supportive services in the community; prevent premature and
unnecessary institutionalization; assess individual service needs; determine
eligibility for public services and make resource allocation decisions for
residents to successfully age in place. 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 goal to promote
self-sufficiency and economic independence. Because the HUD-assisted grant
application is consistent with the County’s Consolidated Plan, staff recommends
approval of these certifications. Districts 2, 6 & 7 (JB)

SUMMARY: On July 21, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the
County’s Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Action Plan (R2015-0939) which included an
allocation of Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for

reimburse Parks for eligible project costs in the amount of $160,830 for the
Lake Lytal Park project and in the amount of $142,000 for the Canal Point Park
project for a total of $302,830. This budget transfer and amendment are

County, Inc., (SELF), a Florida not-for-profit Corporation and certified
Community Development Financial Institution. SUMMARY: This Agreement
will provide funding to SELF to deploy energy efficiency retrofit loans to
homeowners exclusively in Palm Beach County, targeting low and moderate income
(LMI) census tracts. SELF is an energy
retrofit lending company which has been making energy efficiency retrofit loans
since 2011, predominantly in LMI areas. Palm
Beach County has operated a Revolving Energy Loan Fund Program since 2012,
which was funded from a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant awarded in
2009. This grant, which has now been
closed out, was limited to non-residential entities, with subgrant awards being
made to departments within the County and other governmental jurisdictions to
make energy efficiency improvements to their facilities. SELF will leverage these funds with over $4
Million in loan capital. SELF has partnered
with the Green Veterans Group in South Florida to provide on-the-job training
programs in collaboration with Palm Beach State College and participating
contractors. This Agreement will be for
a period of six years, at the end of which, funds must be paid back to the
County. No County funds for implementation are required. Countywide

motion to:
A) approve an Agreement with Creative Choice Homes IX,
Ltd., for extension of a loan repayment deadline;
B) waive the County’s letter of credit policy
regarding bank ratings and accept a Letter of Credit in the amount of $67,000
from Landmark Bank, N.A.;
C) appoint the County Administrator, or designee, as
authorized agent for County for letter of credit purposes; and
D) delegate authority to the County Administrator, or
designee, to execute documents related to the extension, refinancing, and
satisfaction of the loan.
SUMMARY: On May 12, 1995, the County entered into a Loan Agreement with Creative
Choice Homes IX, Ltd. (Developer) to provide $70,000 in State Housing
Initiatives Program (SHIP) funds for the development of 70 affordable apartment
units known as at Mystic Woods Phase I and located on Leo Lane in Riviera
Beach. The County loan was secured by a
mortgage and promissory note that matured on April 30, 2015. The Developer did
not repay the loan when it came due and we were unsuccessful in collecting the
monies owed. The Developer is in the process of refinancing the outstanding
debt on its property and requested additional time to repay the County loan.
The Developer will repay County in full once the refinancing is complete and
staff believes that allowing the Developer a short-term extension will be
beneficial to the County both in terms of collecting repayment of the County’s
loan and in helping to keep this affordable housing development in operation. The Developer will provide the County with a
performance guaranty in the form of a letter of credit in the amount of the
principal balance, which will be terminated after repayment. The County will have the right to demand
payment of the letter of credit from Landmark Bank, N.A., the issuing bank, if
the loan is not repaid in full by April 25, 2017. The County’s PPM on acceptance of Letters of
Credit (PPM CW-F-055) requires that letters of credit have a minimum “peer
group” rating that meets or exceeds threshold levels in at least two of five
approved rating services. Landmark Bank,
N.A., meets the rating requirement for one of the services, but is not rated by
the other services. Staff is requesting
the waiver to the PPM ratings requirement in this instance because the risk to
the County is minimal: 1) the bank does have a qualified rating from one
approved service; 2) the length of time for the letter of credit is under one
year; 3) the dollar amount of the letter of credit is under $70,000; 4) the
County is not expending any additional funds in connection with the Agreement,
and 5) the County retains the right to pursue legal remedies if necessary. These
are SHIP funds which require no local match. District 1 (JB)

LLC in the amounts of $423,000 and $246,000 respectively; and
B) Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to
execute the documents necessary for the transmittal.
SUMMARY: SUMMARY: On April 25, 2015, (Agenda Item 6D-1) the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) approved the creation of a HUD Section 108 Loan
Program (Program). The Program was
developed to provide a dedicated, national source of low interest loans for use
by businesses to revitalize local communities and create jobs. Gulf Stream Marine, the company which is
being purchased, was founded in 1988 to provide private yacht owners with
services to maintain and repair air conditioning, refrigeration, and ice making
equipment on their boats. The two key
employees of Gulf Stream Marine have formed Deep Waters Marine and Rhema
Holdings, LLC to acquire the assets and business of Gulf Stream Marine. Both these businesses are located at 3640
Investment Lane, Bay 22, in unincorporated West Palm Beach, which is in Census
Tract 10.04, and has a poverty rate of 29.5%.
Staff is recommending this loan since the project and the applicants
qualify and meet the Section 108 Loan Criteria approved by the Board of County
Commissioners on May 17, 2011 (Agenda Item 3A-3). Program funds in the amount of $669,000 are
being recommended to be allocated to these two businesses to provide for
working capital and the purchase of real estate and receivables. The Project
costs $1,773,310, which includes $669,000 in Section 108 loans, $307,500 of
bank financing, a $573,000 seller’s note and $223,810 in owner equity. The Project
will meet HUD’s national objective by creating 20 full-time jobs. The Project
was recommended by the Loan Review Committee on May 19, 2016. Upon approval by
the Board of County Commissioners, the loan package will be submitted to HUD. These
are Federal funds which require no local match. District 7 (JB)

SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to:
A) receive and file the
following executed agreements with the State of Florida, Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM) to receive grant funding for the period July 1, 2016, through
June 30, 2017:
1.
State-funded
Grant Agreement (17-BG-83-10-60-01-057) for FY2016-17 in the amount of $105,806
for the Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance (EMPA) Grant to
improve and enhance emergency management plans and programs and provide
operational support to maintain state required programs;
2. Federally-funded Subaward and Grant
Agreement (17-FG-P9-10-60-01-124) for FY2016-17 in the amount of $265,702 for
the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) to improve and enhance emergency
management plans and programs and provide operational support to maintain state
required programs; and
B) approve a Budget Amendment of $280,293 in the Emergency
Management Preparedness and Assistance Fund to adjust the EMPA grant award by
$79,354 to the actual award of $105,806,
and the EMPG grant by $200,939 to the actual award of $265,702.
SUMMARY: The EMPA grant is state funded while
the EMPG grant is federally funded. Both grants recur annually, with the funds
being distributed to the Public Safety Department's Division of Emergency
Management. These funds are used to enhance and improve emergency management
plans and programs and provide operational support to maintain state required
programs consistent with the state's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
The grants will be used to further enhance emergency planning, response,
mitigation and recovery in the County. R2012-1731 dated November 20, 2012 gave
authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute these agreements
on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners. The EMPA grant requires a match equal to the lesser of the average
of the previous three years or the last fiscal year level of County general
revenue funding. The EMPG grant requires a dollar for dollar match.
Match requirements are included in the County budget.
No matching County funds are required for the EMPA grant; however, a dollar
for dollar match is required for the EMPG grant which is included in the County
budget. Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the purchase of
airport liability insurance, for the period October 10, 2016, through October
10, 2017; to be purchased through the County’s contracted broker, Arthur J.
Gallagher & Co. for a total cost of $115,785. SUMMARY: The total cost of $115,785 for airport liability insurance represents no
increase over the expiring premium and liability limits will continue to be
$200,000,000. Overall, the aviation insurance market remains stable and the
County’s proactive approach to controlling losses continues to keep premiums
very reasonable for an agency of this size. Countywide (HH)

motion to approve:
A) CIGNA Health and Life Insurance Company (CHLIC)'s proposed specific stop
loss premiums estimated at $477,043 for the County's self-funded HMO and POS
health insurance plans for the period of January 1, 2017, through December 31,
2017; and
B) Actuarial rates per coverage tier for the County's self-funded HMO and
POS health insurance plans for plan year 2017; and
C) Employee wellness participation cash incentives in the amount of $25 for
completion of the online Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and $25 for participation
in an onsite biometric screening.
SUMMARY: Staff recommends
Board approval of CHLIC's proposed stop loss premiums and actuarial rates per
coverage tier for the County's self-funded HMO and POS health insurance plans
for plan year 2017. The total projected health plan and administrative expense
for plan year 2017 is $70,726,941. This includes expected claims of $68,718,683,
stop loss insurance costs of $477,043 paid to CHLIC, and $252,325 in taxes/fees
mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Board previously approved the
plan year 2017 renewal with CHLIC, which also included the fixed
administrative, access, utilization, and disease management fees, at the
December 15, 2015 Board meeting. The 2017 funding level represents a 3%
increase over 2016 rates. Staff recommends employee contributions and
cost-sharing remain unchanged for plan year 2017, following changes that were
collectively bargained and put in effect in the expiring plan year (2016). The
3% increase is necessary to ensure the financial stability of the fund and,
based on projections, will provide sufficient funding to maintain the required
Office of Insurance Regulation's (OIR) safe harbor surplus of 60 days of
claims. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund the program. Countywide

approved an Agreement with Broward County for the Joint Purchase of the
software, hardware and related services needed to adapt the current fare boxes
to accept EASY cards currently being used by Miami-Dade and SFRTA riders
(R2014-1076). Upon further examination of Palm Beach County’s needs, the remaining
useful life of the Palm Tran fare boxes and advanced technology of newer fare
collection systems, Palm Tran determined that it is in the best interest of
Palm Beach County to terminate the Agreement with Broward County for
convenience and issue a solicitation for replacement fare boxes with the newest
technology available so as to better serve the residents and visitors of Palm
Beach County. Countywide (DR)

Summary: The FVIP program is a court diversion program for first time juvenile
offenders who have been charged with domestic battery/assault. The program is in direct alignment with the
Youth Services Department’s mission statement and goals and therefore, staff is
recommending the program be transferred to Youth Services effective October 1,
2016. The cost of the FVIP program is
estimated to be $253,594 in FY 2017. The
FVIP is anticipated to remain fully funded by a percentage of revenues
collected from court costs in accordance with F.S. 939.185. Countywide (HH)

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) conduct a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act
(TEFRA) public hearing regarding a change in use of the proceeds of the
County's Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds, Series
2004 (The Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, Inc.
Project) (the "Bonds");
B) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida approving a change in use of
proceeds of the County's Variable Rate Demand Revenue Bonds, Series 2004 (the
Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, Inc. project) for
purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 147(f); and
C) authorize the execution and filing of IRS Form 8038

SUMMARY: In 2004,
the County issued the Bonds to finance and refinance the acquisition by the
Community Foundation of land located at the northwest corner of
Olive Avenue and Trinity Place in West Palm Beach (Land) to be used as
additional parking for the Community Foundation's headquarters. The Community Foundation wishes to exchange a
portion of the Land for other land from an adjoining property. The Internal Revenue Code requires that the
County conduct a public hearing concerning the exchange and approve the same,
similar to the public hearing and approval required for new bond issuances. No County funds are involved in this
transaction nor will the terms of the existing Bonds be modified. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and

2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, making certain findings and designating the real
property located at 4965 Lantana Road, Palm Beach County, Florida, 33463,
further identified by property control number 00-42-44-36-37-001-0000 (the

Green Reuse Area pursuant to Section 376.80(2)(c), Florida Statutes, for the
purpose of rehabilitation, job creation and promoting economic development;
providing an effective date; and for other purposes. SUMMARY: On July 12, 2016, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved two motions related to the Subject Property: 1) A
waiver of the statutory requirement that one of the two public hearings to be
held on August 16, 2016 and September 27, 2016, be held after 5:00 p.m.; and 2)
Advertising of public hearings on Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. and

16, 2016, the BCC approved a motion to conduct a public hearing on September
27, 2016 as required by the Brownfields Redevelopment Act (the “Act”) set forth
in Sections 376.77-376.86, Florida Statutes, designating the Subject Property
as a Brownfield Area. On May 6, 2016, JDR Development, LLC, a Florida Limited
Liability Company, (JDR) doing business as Banyan Development, submitted a
written request to Palm Beach County’s Department of Economic Sustainability
(DES) to designate the Subject Property as a Brownfield Area. JDR is the contract purchaser of the Subject
Property and has control thereover as confirmed by the owner/seller, Pine
Lantana Road Holdings, LLC, a Florida Limited
Liability Company. 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 Brownfield designation under the Act.
Section 376.80(12), Florida Statutes, does not require a local
government to use the term Brownfield within the name of the area being
designated. No County funds for
implementation are required. District 3 (JB)

B. PUBLIC SAFETY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners
of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 19, Article IX (Ordinance No.
2008-43) of the Palm Beach County Code, as amended, the “Palm Beach County Vehicle
for Hire Ordinance”; amending Section
19-213 (definitions); amending Section 19-217 (reciprocity);
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:
On September 13, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) held
a preliminary reading of the amended Vehicle for Hire Ordinance. At that meeting, the BCC concurred with
staffs recommended changes which were to modify the reciprocity language. Currently, the majority of vehicle for hire
companies licensed in Palm Beach County cannot operate in some nearby counties
due to restrictions set forth on the number of companies permitted to operate
in those counties, specifically Broward and Miami-Dade. Palm Beach County does not restrict the
number of companies permitted to operate. The Public Safety Department’s
Division of Consumer Affairs previously met with Broward and Miami-Dade County
staff to review and discuss the proposed changes and agreed to provide
reciprocity for vehicle for hire companies that are licensed in Broward,
Miami-Dade, St. Lucie and/or Martin Counties as long as those Counties have
enacted a vehicle for hire ordinance with business permit reciprocity in
substantially the same form as Palm Beach County’s Vehicle for Hire
Ordinance. The vehicle for hire
companies applying for a Palm Beach County business
permit reciprocity would still be subject to payment of all applicable fees and
comply with all provisions of the Ordinance.
Staff has determined that this change would be a minimal impact to Palm
Beach County since most companies in nearby counties already hold a Palm Beach
County business permit. If other counties do not enact similar changes to their
reciprocity language, companies that hold a Palm Beach County business permit
may still not be allowed to operate in those Counties and continue to be
subject to restrictions set forth on the number of companies permitted to
operate. This proposed
amendment to the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance was presented to the League of
Cities on August 24, 2016, and was unanimously approved. Countywide (LDC)

and Control Division complement; and
C) approve a Budget Transfer of $62,480 in the General
Fund from Contingency Reserves to support the salaries and benefits associated
with the additional position.
SUMMARY: On September 13, 2016, the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) held a preliminary reading of the amended Animal
Care and Control (ACC) Ordinance. At that meeting, the BCC concurred with
staffs recommended changes and directed staff to include a provision that
allows ACC to revoke pet shop permits that have two major violations within a
five year period. In addition, staff
added definitions for major and minor violations and moved the effective date
of the grandfathering clause from November 1, 2016 to October 1, 2016. As previously addressed in the preliminary
reading, ordinance revisions were made to: prohibit the issuance of new pet
shop and pet dealer commercial operating licenses and grandfathering in of
existing licensees that remain in good standing; require pet shops and pet dealers to obtain
dogs and cats from USDA licensed breeders, dealers and transporters that have
no record of animal cruelty or neglect and have not received certain USDA
violations within the past two years; and exempt pet shops from certain
regulations when rescue dogs or cats are offered for adoption in the store. The
next category of revisions support the Countdown to Zero (C2Z) mission to allow
for better monitoring on adoptions, rabies vaccines, microchips, and tag
requirements for animals entering our County as well as supply critical data
necessary to measure success of C2Z.
Changes include: require Animal
Agencies to provide adoption records to ACC monthly; and require that any
animal adopted out unsterilized by an Animal Agency due to heath concerns be
brought back to the Animal Agency or agency’s veterinarian as soon as possible
for sterilization. The final category
includes minor revisions which are the following: amend regulations pertaining
to dangerous and vicious dogs for consistency with Chapter 767, F.S.; and
prohibit the breeding of cats other than registered pedigreed cats. Staff determined that current resources are
not sufficient to ensure compliance and provide enforcement for these proposed
ordinance changes; therefore a full-time Animal Control Officer II position is
being requested. This proposed amendment
to the Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control Ordinance was presented to the
League of Cities on August 24, 2016, and was unanimously approved. In addition,
the League of Cities made a motion to request the County to allocate additional
resources to support these changes. Countywide (SF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida establishing a community development district over
the real property legally described on Exhibit “B” to this Ordinance comprising
of approximately 203.54 acres: naming of the initial members of the board;
establishing the naming of the district as Gulfstream Polo Community
Development District; designating the purpose of the district; designating the
powers of the district; providing for severability; providing for repeal of
laws in conflicts; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: This item was continued from the August 16,
2016 BCC hearing at the request of the petitioner; Pulte Home Corporation.
Pulte Home Corporation has petitioned the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
to grant the establishment of the Gulfstream Polo Community Development
District (CDD). The staff report provides a review of the petition for
consistency with the six statutory factors identified in Chapter 190, F.S. and
previous BCC direction regarding CDDs. Future homeowners will be required to
pay annual CDD assessments ($900 - $1,400) in addition to HOA fees and both ad
valorem and non ad valorem taxes. The petitioner has agreed to enhanced disclosure requirements for these assessments and
to not include any off-site improvements in the obligations of future
residents, as previously directed by the BCC. Both the disclosure requirements
and the limitation on off-site improvement funding are included within the
proposed ordinance. Since the August 16th BCC hearing, the petition
has been updated with 4 revised affidavits of consent and the ordinance has
been modified per the petitioner’s request. As the petition is consistent with
the Florida Statutes and previous BCC direction regarding CDDs, staff is
recommending approval of the proposed ordinance. District 6 (RPB)

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt
a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, confirming the Special Assessment Roll for the 77th Lane
North Water Main Extension (Project); and
B) approve a Work Authorization
(WA) No. 2 to Johnson-Davis Incorporated under the Water Utilities Department
(WUD) Continuing Construction Contract (Contract) (R2016-0902) in the amount of
$99,026.55.
Summary: Petitions in favor of
the installation of a potable water main were provided to WUD by 60% (6 in
favor, 3 not in favor and 1 no response). The petitions were considered and
approved at the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of the Indian
Trails Improvement District (ITID) on October 14, 2015. The Project will serve
ten residential properties currently on private wells. Individual assessments
of $11,577.52 per parcel will be assessed based on 90% of the total estimated
cost of the Project, pursuant to the terms of the agreement between the County
and ITID, in which the County committed to allocate $500,000 to provide
financial support for up to 10% of the final cost for assessment projects
within the legislative boundaries of the ITID. WUD has encumbered and expended
a total of $275,963.21 for previous ITID assessment projects. The assessment is
payable over a 20-year time period in equal annual payments of principal and
5.5% interest. The total assessable cost of the Project is $128,639.11 and
includes the costs of surveying, design, drafting, permitting, construction,
inspection, administration, and construction contingency, as well as the 10%
financial support payment dictated by WUD’s contract with ITID. WA No. 2 will
provide for the construction of the Project. The Small Business Enterprise
(SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064) is 15%
overall. The Contract with Johnson-Davis Incorporated provides for SBE
participation of 3.28%. WA No. 2 includes 8.55%
overall participation. The cumulative SBE participation is 8.55% overall. If
the actual cost of the Project exceeds the total assessable cost, the
difference will be covered by WUD. (WUD Project No. 16-007) District 6

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, recommending approval of Project Cranium, 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 cash grant not to exceed $89,000; and
providing for an effective date; and
B) conceptually approve
an Economic Development Incentive for Project Cranium in the form of a Grant
over eight years, in the amount not to exceed $89,000 as a portion of the local
match for the State’s Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund ($89,000).
SUMMARY: Project
Cranium is considering Palm Beach County to expand its current operations in
Riviera Beach, as well as relocating its regional headquarters. The company
plans to invest $11.9 Million and create 178 new jobs over a five year period
at an annualized average wage of $53,484 and a median wage of $41,695. The Company
will retain 255 existing Palm Beach County jobs and the new and existing jobs
must be retained for an additional five years from the date an agreement is
entered between the County and the Company. The five year local economic impact
is estimated to be $342.2 Million. The State of Florida approved an $890,000
incentive in the form of a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund. Of this amount, $712,000 is from the State of
Florida and $178,000 is from local governmental entities. The local share will be split equally between
Palm Beach County and City of Riviera Beach. The local match from Palm Beach
County will be provided in the form of an Economic Development Grant (cash) in
an amount not to exceed $89,000 over a period of eight years provided the
project meets the requirements under State of Florida. The Grant will be paid according to the
State’s QTI Refund Schedule, 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. Other states under consideration by the company

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
$200,000 paid over a five year period for the State Quick Action Closing Fund;
B) a Budget Transfer of $357,500 from the General
Fund Contingency Reserves to the Department of Economic Sustainability Fund
Economic Incentive Growth Program; and
C) a Budget Amendment of $357,500 in the
Department of Economic Sustainability Fund to recognize the funds from the
General Fund.
SUMMARY: On January 14, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners conceptually
approved (R2014-0094) an economic development incentive for the Company
totaling $357,500. This Agreement
discloses the name of the Company, Cancer Treatment Centers of America Global,
Inc., previously referred to as Project Emblem.
The Agreement requires the Company to make a minimum $14.5 Million
capital investment to purchase and renovate an existing facility in Boca Raton
for its corporate headquarters, create 225 new full time jobs over a five year
period, at an average annualized wage of $90,000 excluding benefits. The
Company will maintain the new jobs for a period of five years following the job
creation period. 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. Cancer Treatment Centers of
America Global, Inc. is a family owned management and marketing company
supporting a group of hospitals, with a primary mission to treat patients
suffering from advanced and complex cancer. The State of Florida is providing
the Company $1,575,000 in the form of a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax
Refund which includes a required 20% local match of $315,000 which will be
split equally between the County ($157,500) and the City of Boca Raton

economic impact of $216 Million. This Economic Development Incentive Grant will
be secured by a Letter of Credit, Bond, Corporate Guarantee, or equivalent
security. District 7 4 (JB)

BACKUP: Staff
recommends motion to maintain: current policy related to qualifications for Palm Beach County Ocean
Rescue lifeguards and application of statutory provisions of the Florida Retirement
System related to Special Risk membership. SUMMARY:
At the May 3, 2016,
meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, following several prior meetings
and correspondence to individual Commissioners, an advisor with the USLA
petitioned the Board to direct staff to execute Form FRS-405, which would
advance the application of individuals classified as Ocean Lifeguards with EMT
certification to obtain the approval of the Division of Retirement for
certification as a Special Risk Member of the Florida Retirement System. At the
September 13th meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, the
request was repeated by several speakers under the Matters by the Public
portion of the meeting, along with a request to increase the pay of Ocean
Lifeguards in order to make the position more competitive with neighboring
employers. While staff supports and recommends the compensation review
currently in progress, staff does not support the request for execution of Form
FRS-405, as there is no sound legal basis for staff to recommend this action. In
2009, a Final Order was issued by the State Retirement Commission denying the
applications of two former Palm Beach County Ocean Lifeguards for Special Risk
Classification on the basis that the Petitioners were voluntarily certified as
EMTs, and their primary duties are not on-the-scene emergency care, but ocean
rescue. This Order was affirmed by Florida’s 4th District Court of
Appeal in 2011. If staff were to execute Form FRS-405 on behalf of the EMT
certified lifeguards, it would essentially be reversing itself with no legal
basis to do so. EMT certification is voluntary, and there are currently 35
non-certified employees working in the same classification, and providing the
same essential duties. Should the
reversal be successful, in addition to a substantial financial exposure for
back pay and benefits, staff would be required to make EMT certification
mandatory, which would potentially displace the non-certified employees. Countywide

B. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Budget Transfer of $289,125.07 from General Fund Contingency Reserves
to the HOME Investment Partnership Fund to repay the HOME Investments
Partnership Program (HOME) funds expended for the Delray Beach Community
Development Corporation (DBCDC); and
B) a Budget Amendment of $289,125.07 in the HOME
Investment Partnership Fund to recognize the transfer from the General Fund to
appropriate funds for the payment.
SUMMARY: On October 19, 2010 (R2010-1753) the Board approved an Agreement with
DBCDC (as amended by R2011-1619, R2012-1892, and R2013-0831) providing HOME
funds in the total amount of $529,398.66 for the acquisition and rehabilitation
of four single family homes for occupancy by households with incomes no greater
than 80% of Area Median Income. DBCDC expended a total of $289,125.07 on the
acquisition and rehabilitation of two homes located at 5642 Dewberry Way, West
Palm Beach, FL 33415 (completed on November 13, 2012, at a cost of $125,786.63)
and 5437 River Plantation Road, Lake Worth, FL 33463 (completed on March 28,
2013, at a cost of $163,338.44). The
remaining $240,273.59 was not remitted to DBCDC. The County’s HOME interest in
the properties was secured by mortgages and promissory notes. Monitoring of the
project conducted by the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) determined
that the DBCDC had violated various terms of the Agreement, and on January 3,
2014, DBCDC was provided notice of the County’s intent to terminate the
Agreement. The Agreement expired on May
31, 2014, and the remaining balance of HOME funds was reallocated to other
eligible uses. After several
unsuccessful attempts to resolve matters of regulatory and programmatic
non-compliance with DBCDC, the mortgages were referred to an outside servicer
for foreclosure and collection proceedings. The servicer is currently in the
process of initiating legal proceedings. Because
the DBCDC project did not result in affordable housing occupied by HOME
eligible beneficiaries, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) now requires
repayment of the HOME funds expended. Approval of this item will allocate
$289,125.07 of County general funds for repayment of the HOME funds to the
County’s local HOME Trust Fund Account, whereupon the funds become available to
the County for expenditure on new activities in accordance with HOME Program
requirements. Proceeds that result from
the current foreclosure proceedings and eventual disposition of the DBCDC
properties will be used to repay the County general funds allocated through
this item. District 2 (JB)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an
Interlocal Agreement with the City of Greenacres providing for the annexation
of an enclave, generally located on the south side of Lake Worth Road, west of
Military Trail. SUMMARY: The City of
Greenacres has proposed the annexation of parcels totaling 6.89 acres located
on the south side of Lake Worth Road, west of Military Trail. After reviewing
the proposed annexation pursuant to the Florida Statutes, staff identified that
the annexation would create an enclave and therefore, was inconsistent with
Chapter 171 of the Florida Statutes. Additionally, staff received
concerns from the County's Fire Rescue that the enclave could cause confusion
of service delivery. On August 22, 2016, the item was
presented to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) seeking direction on
whether to oppose the annexation, or pursue
entering into an Interlocal Agreement that would annex the enclave into the
City. The BCC directed staff to enter into an
Interlocal Agreement for the annexation of the enclave. The City of Greenacres
adopted an Interlocal Agreement on September 8, 2016 for the annexation of the
enclave consisting of one parcel totaling 0.16 acres, identified in Exhibit A
of the Interlocal Agreement. The enclave annexation meets the requirements of
Chapter 171, F.S., and is consistent with the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. District 2 (RPB)
D. WESTGATE/BELVEDERE HOMES COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida approving the Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Agency’s (CRA) Fiscal Year 2017 Budget for its Redevelopment Trust (operating) Fund, Construction Fund, Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund. SUMMARY: The Budget, in the amount of $3,657,985, is composed of four components. The first component, the Redevelopment Trust Fund, in the amount of $2,096,045, consists of the CRA’s Annual Tax Increment Financing and balance brought forward from previous years. The second component, the Construction Fund, in the amount of $1,023,623, consists of balances of reimbursable grants awarded to the CRA by County, State, and Federal governments for construction activities. The third component is the Sinking Fund, in the amount of $270,255, which consists of one annual payment from Tax Increment Financing revenues to repay the revenue bond reissued in 1999 to retrofit infrastructure in the Westgate area. The last component is the Reserve Fund, in the amount of $268,062, which consists of a one year security payment (principal and interest), held in escrow for the March 1, 1999 Redevelopment Revenue Refunding Bonds in the amount of $3,380,000. The Tax Increment Financing revenues will be used for: 1) obligations to Florida Power & Light for street lighting; 2) interest and principal payments due under the $3.38 Million bond issue; and 3) CRA operations and other projects. The 2017 Budget decreases by twenty percent (20%) because this year, the CRA has less grant fund to carry forward. Districts 2 & 7 (RB)

the County $50,000,000 over a period of 25 years; and
B)
authorize the
County Administrator, or designee, to prepare and submit the annual reports
required by the Agreement to the FDEO.
SUMMARY: On October 29, 2015, FDEO certified the
County’s application to participate in the Major League Spring Training
Baseball Franchise Retention Program pursuant to F.S. 288.11631. Certified applicants then enter into a
funding agreement to access specific funds set aside in F.S. 212.20(6)(d)6.e. Pursuant to
this Agreement, the State will pay the County $50,000,000 in equal monthly
payments of $166,667.00 for a period of 25 years. Since the County has issued bonds for the
construction of the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and the funding received from
State will be used to pay a portion of the debt services on those bonds, the
County cannot be decertified. On or before September 1 annually throughout the
term of this Agreement, the County shall submit an annual report to FDEO which
will be coordinated by the Office of Financial Management and Budget with
contributions also being made by Facilities Development & Operations and
Tourist Development Council/Sports Commission.
In addition, the County shall submit monthly status reports on the
development of the stadium. The County agrees that it will seek FDEO’s approval
prior to making any material changes, amendments, modification, extensions or
the like, to the First Restated Sports Facility Use Agreement that could
reasonably have any effect on FDEO’s or the State’s rights or privileges. (FDO
