A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Expenditure
of $75,000 for the conversion of 79 existing streetlights to LED streetlights
in the Limestone Creek Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) area;
B) Budget
Transfer of $75,000 in the OCR Special Projects and Initiatives Fund to combine
the Phase I and Phase II projects into a single project, recognize maintenance
cost savings, and establish the transfer to the Capital Outlay Fund for the
conversion of 79 streetlights; and
C) Budget Amendment of $75,000 in the
Capital Outlay Fund to recognize and appropriate the transfer from the OCR
Special Projects and Initiatives Fund for the Limestone Creek Street Lighting
Conversion Project.
SUMMARY: In April of 2016, the Limestone Creek Street Lighting

Advocates, Inc. to help reduce criminal activity and provide better pedestrian
and vehicle safety. The project entails the conversion of the existing 79
streetlights to LED streetlights and funding for the ongoing operation and
maintenance of 38 of those lights for a 20-year period. Converting the existing
cobra head lights to LED lights will result in an estimated cost savings of
$27,500 over a 20-year period. The requested transfer of $75,000 is needed to
cover the cost to convert the existing 79 lights to LED lights. Funding for
this project is available from remaining funds previously approved by the Board

C. ENGINEERING
& PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Contract with Lambert Bros., Inc. (Lambert) in the amount of $1,127,274.30 for the construction of the Palmwood Road Slope Stabilization Project, from 750 feet north of Donald Ross Road to Susan Avenue (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this Contract will allow Palm Beach County to issue a notice to proceed to Lambert, a Broward County based company, to begin construction of the Project. The proposed work consists of slope stabilization and roadway improvements. The existing roadway will be milled, overbuilt and widened. Curb and gutter and a sidewalk are proposed on the west side of the road. The Palm Beach County Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all projects is 15%. Lambert has proposed 2.7% SBE participation which does not meet the SBE goal for this project, but the second lowest bidder that met the SBE goal was outside of the ranking of responsive bidders. Although Lambert is not a Palm Beach County based company, the next lowest bidder was more that 5% higher and therefore the Local Preference Ordinance did not affect the ranking of bidders. District 1 (PM)
2. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: a Report of plat recordations from April 1,
2016, through September 30, 2016. SUMMARY:

a Resolution declaring the acquisition of property designated as parcel 101 fee simple road right-of-way, necessary for the
construction of a westbound right turn lane on Northlake Boulevard at Military Trail

parcel which has a total appraised value of $90,226. The property owner has not
accepted the offer to purchase made by Palm Beach County (County) and attempts
to negotiate the purchase have been unsuccessful to date. Eminent domain proceedings are necessary to
acquire the parcel at this time in order to expedite construction of the
Project, which is funded in the current Five Year Road Program. District 1

motion to approve:
A) a negotiated settlement offer in the amount
of $4,000 for the full satisfaction of a Mortgage loan granted to Jacqueline
Blanco on December 12, 2006; and
B) a Satisfaction of
Mortgage.
SUMMARY: On December
12, 2006, Jacqueline Blanco granted Palm Beach County a second mortgage on her
home at 1021 West 33rd Street, in Riviera Beach, in exchange for the
receipt of $13,650. These funds were
expended under the County’s Property Rehabilitation Program for upgrades to her
home to address substandard conditions.
The first mortgage lender on her property foreclosed on the home and
received a certificate of title to the property from the court on October 10,
2008. The County’s second mortgage was
not included in the foreclosure action therefore it continued as a lien on the
property. The title company for the
current property owner, who wishes to sell the property, is unable to provide
clear title to the buyer due to the existence of the County’s mortgage. The current property owner could bring a
foreclosure action against the County to eliminate the County’s mortgage. Staff has evaluated the legal costs associated
with a foreclosure action and the probable outcome from such action, and is
recommending acceptance of $4,000 in exchange for the satisfaction of the
mortgage from Ms. Blanco. The original source of funds was from the Federal
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program which required no local match.

Health Center, Inc., The Tradition of the Palm Beaches, Inc., Morselife Health
System, Inc., Palm Beach Senior Care Health Management, LLC and/or Morselife
Foundation, Inc. (collectively, the "Corporations") to provide funds

the Corporations' existing campus (the "Campus") located at 4847 Fred
Gladstone Drive and 4920 Loring Drive in the City of West Palm Beach, Florida;
and providing for an effective date. Summary: The Palm Beach County
Health Facilities Authority (Authority) was created pursuant to Part III of
Chapter 154, Florida Statutes, and by Resolutions adopted by the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) on April 12 and April 19, 1977. The Authority is governed by a five member
governing board whose members are appointed by the BCC. On November 29, 2016, the Authority held a
public hearing as required by the Internal Revenue Code with
regards to these bonds. The Bonds are to
be issued by the Authority to provide a loan to the Corporations for the
construction of new independent living facilities on the existing Campus in

and refinanced with the Bonds will be located at the Campus and will be owned
and operated by one or more of the Corporations. Approval by an elected body is required by the
Internal Revenue Code; however, adoption of this Resolution does not in any way
obligate the County. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of
the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay the principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. District 7 (PFK)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the Third Amendment to the Palm Beach County Action
Plan (AP) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016–2017.
Summary: On July 12, 2016, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the Palm Beach County AP for Fiscal Year 2016-2017
(R2016-0928) which included funding allocations for several Federal grant
programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Consistent with direction from the May 3,
2016 (Item No. 4E-1) BCC workshop, the AP allocated 75% of available CDBG
Public Service funds, amounting to $648,610, to support operations of the
County’s Philip D. Lewis Center which serves individuals and families. On
August 16, 2016 (Item No. 5A-3), the BCC approved the County’s acquisition of
the Program REACH/transitional housing facility located at 1318-1320 Henrietta
Avenue and 549-559 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, West Palm Beach. Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc.
currently operates the facility on behalf of the County through the Department
of Community Services (DCS) Financially Assisted Agencies contract
R2015-1436. During the past three years,
the final amount of CDBG-eligible operational expenses at the Lewis Center was
less than the amount of CDBG funds allocated.
As a result, DCS has now requested that a portion of CDBG funds
allocated to the Lewis Center be re-directed to support County-paid operational
expenses at the transitional housing facility.
The facility will serve at least 80 unduplicated families annually. The proposed Third Amendment to the AP for FY
2016-2017 will reduce CDBG funding for the Lewis Center activity by $140,000
and will add a new activity for the Program REACH/transitional housing facility
in the amount of $140,000 in order to fund such expenses. These
are Federal CDBG funds which do not require a local match. District 7

staffing needs and increased insurance costs as the reason for their
significantly increased bid amount. Still, at less than $1 per acre sprayed,
the cost compares favorably with other mosquito control programs in south
Florida. The requested budget transfer is necessary to fund the unanticipated
increase in the Contract. No Small Business Enterprise vendor submitted a
bid on this project. Countywide (AH)

recommends motion to approve:
A) Inter-Agency Agreement with the Florida Department
of Children and Families (DCF) from December 20, 2016 to September 30, 2017
with automatic renewals on each October 1st, to certify local funds
as a State match, for reimbursement of eligible expense consistent with Title
IV-E under the Social Security Act; and
B) Contract for Community Based Agencies
with The Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS) to become effective upon
execution by the parties through September 30, 2017, in the amount of $50,000
to provide adoption assistance services to eligible Title IV-E residents; and
C) Budget Transfer of $50,000 in the
General Fund (Fund 0001) from Youth Services Administration (Unit 1501) to the
Adoption Services Program (Unit 2531) to establish the funding for the eligible
program costs; and
D) Budget Amendment to recognize the
anticipated revenue from DCF of $18,000 in the Adoption Services Program (Unit
2531).
Summary: This Agreement with DCF will allow the County to submit claims for the
cost of pre- and post-adoption services provided through the Contract with CHS,
a Title IV-E, licensed child placing agency in Palm Beach County. Services are designed to encourage more
adoptions out of the foster care/dependency system and assist children in their
transition into a successful and lifelong adoptive setting. DCF receives federal funding and calculates
reimbursement to the County using the Florida Safe Families Network (FSFN)
Title IV-E Adoption Client Eligibility Rate for the month of service (currently
72.0123%), after which a 50% reimbursement rate is applied.
The budget transfer and amendment will recognize the anticipated revenue
of $18,000 and establishes the $50,000 budget for the eligible program
expense. The net fiscal impact shall be funded by existing FY 2017 ad valorem.

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Third Amendment to Interlocal Agreement
with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) authorizing issuance
of an Invitation for Bids for the sale of the jointly owned 571 acre McMurrain
Farm property. SUMMARY: The County (39.4%) and SFWMD (60.6%)
jointly own the 571 acre McMurrain Farm property in the Ag Reserve. The
property was initially purchased for interim agricultural use with plans for
SFWMD to construct an above ground reservoir as part of SFWMD’s Agricultural
Reserve Reservoir program. SFWMD has
since determined that the Ag Reserve Reservoir program is not feasible, has
terminated the program, and has declared its interest in the McMurrain Farm
property to be surplus. SFWMD desires to
sell its interest in the property to recover its investment. SFWMD has obtained
a 2015 appraisal valuing the property at $15,400,000, (SFWMD $9,335,000; County
$6,065,000), and is currently updating that appraisal. SFWMD is requesting that
the County participate in the sale of the County’s interest in the property.
While the property has an AGR Preserve land use and has no density, in order to
provide additional assurances that the land remain in Agricultural production
and not be developed, SFWMD proposes that the property be sold subject to a
Perpetual Agricultural Conservation Easement in favor of the County and SFWMD,
and that a separate Perpetual Agricultural Conservation Easement be granted the
State Department of Environmental Protection. The Conservation Easements
restrict use of the property to agricultural production and provide an added
level of protection against change in use beyond what is in place today. The bid process for the sale of the property
would be open competitive and administratively managed by the SFWMD using
SFWMD’s statutorily mandated sale process with participation by County
Staff. Under SFWMD’s process, the
property would be sold to the highest bidder submitting a responsive bid which
is equal to or greater than appraised value and subject to the restrictions set
forth above. The Governing Board of
SFWMD has indicated that if the County Commission declines to participate in a
sale of the property, SFWMD will consider filing a partition action in Circuit
Court to force a sale of the property.
In such an action, it is conceivable that SFWMD could be allowed, and
the County forced, to sell the property without the added protection of the
Conservation Easements. Staff believes that a sale of the property subject to
conservation easements is a practical solution which allows SFWMD to recoup its
investment while providing maximum protection against future change in use of
the property. This item requires a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners) for
approval. If this Interlocal Agreement is approved, the sale will proceed
without further action or review by the Board. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)
