1. Staff recommends motion to approve: the release of a drainage and flowage easement located on land to be platted as Lantana Farms Planned Unit Development (PUD) by Home Dynamics Silverleaf, LLC (Developer). SUMMARY: This approval will release a Palm Beach County (County) drainage and flowage easement recorded in Official Record Book 12082, Page 636, public records of Palm Beach County, Florida (existing easement). The Developer is in the process of platting the PUD and the existing easement is inconsistent with the approved site plan. The Developer is requesting that the existing easement be released with the understanding that the PUD will be platted to provide a replacement easement and drainage system. In the event the Developer fails to complete platting of the PUD and construction of the new drainage system, the Developer has provided the County with a drainage easement to re-establish the existing easement. In order to avoid it being reflected on the approved site plan, this drainage easement will not be recorded at this time, but will be held in escrow pending the completion of the PUD.

SUMMARY: The County acquired a vacant 0.07
acre parcel of land located at 1439 Silver Beach Road, Riviera Beach by Tax
Deed in March 2016. The parcel is
located on the south side of Silver Beach Road and west of Avenue P. This property was deemed surplus because it
is unbuildable and serves no present or future County purpose. The 2016 Property Appraiser assessed value of
the parcel is $2,235. Pursuant to
Florida Statutes Section 125.35(2), the Board may effect a 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 August
2016, PREM was contacted by one of the adjacent owners, Trans Global,
expressing an interest in the parcel. In

intent to sell this parcel was sent to all adjacent property owners of the
County parcel and Trans Global was the only respondent. On December 7, 2016, Staff provided Trans Global

architectural/engineering design services (professional services) associated
with Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) Headquarters Renewal/Replacement/
Renovation Project (project) in the amount of $1,149,931. SUMMARY: On November 23, 2016, and subsequent to the
selection of Leo A. Daly, the Director of Facilities Development &
Operations approved a contract in the amount of $135,000 from previously
approved ad valorem funding to complete a Master Plan for the Project after
closely coordinating with PBSO. Professional Services for this Project include
the design, construction documents and permitting for the multi-phased Project.
This Project consists of the renewal and replacement of the HVAC components,
lighting, roofing, interior finishes and a new exterior envelop including
window systems. Several units have relocated to the Airport Center 2 Building
and in early 2019, all of the Technical Services Division (Evidence, Impound,
Crime Lab and Ballistics) will be relocating to the new Evidence building,
vacating approximately 57,000 square feet of space. This will allow temporary reallocations of
remaining units/staff to accommodate the current and future expansion
requirements for the remaining divisions and those who will be relocated from
leased and non-PBSO facilities (Off-Site Facilities). This will also allow for
the replacement and renewal of aging building systems, much needed
refurbishment of existing restrooms and creation of shared conference rooms and
other support areas. PBSO units currently in Off-Site Facilities will not
relocate to HQ until the Project is complete so that the 57,000 sf of vacated
space can move throughout the facility to facilitate the Project but maintain
continuity of operations. Due to the
complexity of this work from a continuity of operations and permitting
perspective, Leo A. Daly will need to work closely with the Construction Manager
(CM) throughout the design. A separate
contract with the CM for preconstruction services will be brought forward in
the near future. The estimated
construction cost for the Project is $29,000,000. Funding for this project is from
Infrastructure Sales Tax. The Small
Business Enterprise (SBE/M/WBE) participation for this contract is 26.5%. Leo A. Daly Company is a national business
with a Palm Beach County office and will be using all Palm Beach County

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment 001 to a Loan Agreement (R2016-0624) with
Royal Palm Place, Ltd. to extend certain benchmark dates. Summary: On May 17, 2016, the County entered into a Loan Agreement (R2016-0624) with the Royal Palm
Place, Ltd. to provide a loan of $115,000 in State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP) Program funds for the construction of 125 affordable rental
housing units to be known as Royal Palm Place.
These funds represent the County’s local match as required under the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s (FHFC) State Apartment Incentive Loan
(SAIL) Program. The project will be
located between North Tamarind Avenue and Division Avenue just north of 15th
Street in West Palm Beach where all 125 affordable rental units will be rented
to households whose incomes are at or below 60% of the area median income. Citibank, N.A. will be providing first
mortgage financing for this project in the amount of $14,500,000. FHFC will be providing a SAIL Program loan of
$4,750,000 and an Extremely Low Income Gap Loan of $495,000. Royal Palm Place, Ltd. has requested the extension
of the closing date from April 30, 2017 to August 31, 2017, and the extension
of the deadline to use County loan funds from May 31, 2017 to September 30,
2017. These time extensions are
necessary to allow the developer additional time to complete their closing
pre-requisites as required by the other lenders. These are SHIP funds which
require no local match. District 7 (JB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment No. 001 to an Agreement (R2016-1500) with
Place of Hope, Inc. (Agency) to add a facility where program services may be

provide $12,647 in Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the provision of housing and case management
services to abused and neglected children at its facility located at 9078
Isaiah Lane in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The Agency has requested that their facility
at 555, 563 and 571 Safe Haven Drive in unincorporated Palm Beach County be
added as a location for the provision of program services. Due to safety reasons, some of the children
receiving these services have been relocated to the second location where the
Agency would like to continue delivering services. This Amendment will add a second location for
the Agency to provide its program services.
These are Federal CDBG funds
which require no local match. Districts 1 & 2 (JB)

SUMMARY: The Building Code Advisory Board
(BCAB) was established by a Special Act of the Florida Legislature in 1974, and
amended in 2001. The term of office for
Board members is three years with no limit to the number of terms a member may
serve. The Board is comprised of sixteen members: one registered architect
appointed from nominees submitted by the Palm Beach Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects; one professional engineer appointed from nominees
submitted by the Palm Beach Chapter of the Florida Engineering Society; seven
members appointed from nominees submitted by the Construction Industry
Management Council of Palm Beach County (CIMC) and seven Building Officials,
one from each commission district, appointed from nominees submitted by the
Building Officials Association of Palm Beach County. The Building Officials
Association of Palm Beach County has nominated Robert Brown to be appointed as
Building Official for District 2 and Roger Held to be reappointed as Building
Official for District 1. The Florida Engineering Society Palm Beach Chapter has
nominated A. Thomas Hogarth to be reappointed as professional engineer. This Advisory Board has 16 seats, 14 currently
filled and 2 vacancies, and a diversity count of Caucasian: 13 (93.00%) and
Asian-American: 1 (7.00%). The gender ratio (male:female) is 14:0. One nominee
is an African-American male and two nominees are Caucasian males. On December 20, 2016, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the addition of a local bill to the Palm Beach
County State Legislative Agenda for 2017, which eliminates the CIMC as the
nominating body for the seven industry nominees and replaces it with local
chapters of national or regional construction industry trade organizations.
This action should help to promote more diversity within the BCAB nominees and
appointments. Countywide (SF)

recommends motion to approve: Contract with Hinterland Group, Inc. (Contract) for
the 2017 Telemetry Information Management Systems (TIMS) Upgrade Project
(Project) in the amount of $1,196,008. Summary: On January 11, 2017, one bid was received to
provide and install new Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) at 38 lift stations and
replace electrical panels at seven lift stations. The Project is necessary to provide remote
monitoring of lift stations, which will increase wastewater facility
productivity and reduce response time in emergency situations. Upon initial
advertisement, four contractors expressed interest in the Project through the
purchase of planning documents.
Hinterland Group, Inc. was the only bid received and was determined to
be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of
$1,196,008. A second, non-responsive bid
was received the day after bidding closed and was not considered. The bid
amount received from Hinterland Group, Inc. is below the opinion of probable
construction cost for the Project, and the bidder is experienced in providing
similar work to the Water Utilities Department.
The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by
the SBE Ordinance is 15% overall. The Contract provides for SBE participation
of 15% overall. Hinterland Group Inc. is a Palm Beach County company. The
Project is included in the FY 17/18 Capital Improvement Plan adopted by the

On March 22, 2016,
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Contract for the WTP No. 8
Anion Exchange System Project (Project) (R2016-0372) with R.J. Sullivan Corp. Change Order

inadequate structural support. These modifications require an increase of
$197,155 and 35 calendar days between the substantial completion and final
completion dates of the Project. The
modifications will be undertaken after substantial completion so that
achievement of the beneficial use of the Anion Exchange System will not be
interrupted. The Contract provides for SBE participation of 62.98%. The
cumulative SBE participation including Change Order No. 2 is 62.66%. R.J. Sullivan Corp. is a Palm Beach County

Worth Drainage District (LWDD) as part
of the redevelopment of the property in order to provide for the widening of
the LWDD E-3 and L-19 Canal rights-of-way. On the recommendation of WUD, the

Amendment to Construction, Joint Use and Easement Agreement (R2008-1863), as
amended on February 2, 2010 (R2010-0208), with Boynton Beach Associates X, LLLP
and Boynton Beach Associates XVIII, LLLP (GL Homes). Summary: On
October 21, 2008, the County and GL Homes entered into a Construction, Joint Use and Easement
Agreement which set forth the requirements and obligations of each party for
the construction and maintenance of the recreational elements located on the
10.8 acre Canyon Town Center civic site.
On February 2, 2010, the County amended the agreement to require GL
Homes to maintain the public restrooms and the County to reimburse GL Homes 50%
of the cost of the custodial contract amount of $267.50 per month. GL Homes also assumed responsibility for the
fire alarm monitoring for the Canyon Town Center amphitheater and the County
would reimburse GL Homes 100% of the cost.
At that time, the Canyon Town Center plaza was less than 50% built and
the soccer fields were only partially used.
Currently, both the facility and soccer fields are fully operational and
the cost to maintain the custodial contract has increased as well as the need
to extend service from four days per week to six days per week. As a result,
this will increase the contract by more than the 5% allowable in the current
agreement and requires Board approval.
This amendment will increase the amount paid by GL Homes to the
contractor from $267.50 per month to $695.50 per month. Staff has reviewed the master agreement for
janitorial services and determined that the price proposed by the GL Homes
Contractor is reasonable and customary. GL Homes’ total annual cost for the
custodial contract is $8,346 and the County’s portion will be $4,173, which is
an increase from $1,605. District 5 (AH)

motion to approve: a
Budget Transfer of $216,592 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the

that the seizing agency shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource
officer, crime prevention, safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention
programs, or for other law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the
cost of protracted or complex investigations, providing additional equipment or
expertise, purchasing automated external defibrillators, and providing matching
grant funds. F.S. 932.7055(5) also requires that no less than 25% of the LETF’s
previous year’s revenues be used for the support or operation of drug
treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe
neighborhood and school resource officer programs of various non-profit
organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2017 donation requirement is $293,779. The PBSO’s
support of these programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention
and reduction of crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to
put money back into these communities to support organizations that provide
such services. The year-to-date transfer
for all donations to outside organizations is $625,501. The funds requested are to aid PBSO and meet
the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by
the Board, upon request of the Sheriff.
The current State LETF balance is $1,950,471. Approval of this request
will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,733,879. The
PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S.
932.7055. Below is a table indicating

On March 12, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Economic
Development Incentive Agreement (R2013-0330) with Pratt & Whitney, a
division of United Technologies Corporation providing an Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption of up to $700,000 over a seven-year period, and providing an economic

period. The Ad Valorem Tax Exemption is
for real property and tangible personal property improvements undertaken in the
company’s renovation of 90,000 square foot facility and construction of a
100,000 square foot testing facility.
This project involved the establishment of the Florida Engine Delivery
Center, a new business unit of Pratt & Whitney. The exemption, together with the incentive
payment, serves as the local financial support for the State of Florida’s
commitment to the company of $4,000,000, of which $3,000,000 are from State
funding and $1,000,000 from Palm Beach County.
The Agreement requires Pratt & Whitney to make a minimum $63 million
capital investment, create 230 new jobs over a ten-year period at an annualized
average wage of $81,110, and maintain those jobs for five years. This project is estimated to have a $442 million

On April 4, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Economic
Development Incentive Agreement (R2017-0485) with Pratt & Whitney, a division
of United Technologies Corporation providing an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption of up
to $650,000 over a six-year period. The
Ad Valorem Tax Exemption is for real property and tangible personal property
improvements undertaken in the company’s construction and renovation of 35,000
square foot facility which will facilitate Pratt & Whitney’s radial
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), relocated from San Diego, California. APU is a gas
turbine engine used to produce energy for applications such as providing electricity,
compressed air, and/or shaft power to main engine start, air conditioning,
electric power and other aircraft systems. APUs are manufactured for both
commercial and military customers. The
exemption, together with the incentive payment, serves as the local financial
support for the State of Florida’s commitment to the company of $2,300,000, of
which $1,650,000 are from State funding and $650,000 from Palm Beach

Partnership (SHIP) funds to Portofino Apartments, Ltd. for the rehabilitation
of Portofino Apartments located at 2767 10th Avenue North in Palm
Springs. The name of the entity mentioned in the November 1, 2016, agenda item
should have been Portofino Associates, Ltd., who is the property’s title holder
of record. The project contains 270 multi-family rental units. The property is
already encumbered by a first mortgage in the amount of $15,632,000 held by
First Housing Development Corporation of Florida which mortgage is insured by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). There are
three other existing mortgages with a total principal amount of $6,600,000
recorded against the property. HUD has required the execution of the
Subordination Agreement by the County in order to allow the County’s mortgage
that secures the $494,000 in SHIP funds to be placed on the property. The BCC
previously approved a similar HUD required subordination agreement for the
Marina Bay project (R2013-0641). This Subordination Agreement is being
presented for approval because, unlike standard subordination agreements,
approval of this document would, among other matters, 1) require that all
proceeds that could be received by the County in the event of the condemnation
of the property be paid to the first mortgage holder; 2) require the County to
obtain the first mortgage holder’s approval to commence, or join other
creditors in commencing bankruptcy proceedings against the borrower; and 3)
require the County to release its mortgage interest in the property should the
first mortgage holder acquire title to the property by means of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure. HUD has also required the addition of a Secondary
Financing Rider to the Promissory Note to be executed by Portofino Associates,
Ltd., at the loan closing for the afore-mentioned SHIP funds. The
Secondary Financing Rider includes a restatement of certain terms in the
Subordination Agreement and restricts the availability of cash flow that can be
used to repay the County’s loan. Delegation of authority to the County

effective from date last signed by both parties and with automatic annual
renewals, to provide interns with work training experience, at no cost to the
County. Summary: This Agreement will allow interns between the
ages of 17 - 24, as they graduate from CareerSource’s structured work readiness
program, to be able to work alongside employees of the Department. The interns will not displace regular
employees, but rather be provided with supervision and training to increase the
intern’s employment opportunities. The interns may be placed in County
Departments to assist with filing, answering phones and other clerical duties,
based on project needs. Although the Department has initiated this Agreement,
any County department can directly request the placement of youth/interns from
CareerSource as needed. Countywide

AGENDA
E. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Property Maintenance Agreement
with Boca Lago Country Club, Inc.;
B) a County Deed conveying the
County’s interest in 21 Preserve/Conservation Areas to Boca Lago Country Club,
Inc.; and
C) a Declaration of Restrictive
Covenant (Restrictive Covenant) in favor of Palm Beach County over PC Areas No.
3 and No. 4 within Boca Lago Country Club.
SUMMARY: Boca Lago Country Club, Inc. (the Club), located in western Boca Raton,
plans to reconfigure a portion of its golf course in order to create an
approximate 25 acre vacant parcel of land for residential development, and has
a contract with Pulte Homes to sell the 25 acres. Located throughout the golf course are 21
small parcels which were dedicated to Palm Beach County on the original Boca
Lago Plat (PB30, PG 244) and again on the Replat of Boca Lago (PB31, PG 62) for
preserve/conservation purposes (PC Areas).
The 21 PC Areas have no significant environmental value and ERM has
declined to assume maintenance responsibility.
As a result, the parcels receive little to no maintenance. Within the 25 acre proposed development area,
there are two PC areas (PC area No. 3 and PC area No. 4) which the developer
proposes to combine and reconfigure into a single parcel and encumber it with a
conservation easement. This will require
Pulte Homes to replat the property, which requires the County’s consent. As a condition of recommending that the
County consent to the re-plat, Staff required the Club to accept a conveyance
of the County’s interest in all 21 PC Areas.
In order to ensure that the PC Areas are protected and maintained, the
PC Areas will remain dedicated on the Replat of Boca Lago for
preserve/conservation purposes. In
addition, the Property Maintenance Agreement will require the Club to maintain
PC Areas No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5 through No. 21. Both the Club and Pulte will be
responsible for maintenance of PC Areas No. 3 and No. 4 pursuant to the Restrictive
Covenant, and upon the replat of the development area, the Restrictive Covenant
will terminate and be replaced with a conservation easement for the
reconfigured preserve/conservation area. ERM has reviewed and supports the
structure of this transaction. There
will be no payment/charge for this conveyance, as the County does not hold fee title
and is merely releasing its interest in a plat dedication. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)
