Prior to these Work Orders, approximately 13% of Community’s $3 million allocation has been spent or encumbered, leaving a balance of $2.6 million. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for all contracts is 15%. The SBE participation proposed by Community for these Work Orders is 15%. Approval of these Work Orders will result in a cumulative SBE participation of 13.5% for all the work orders issued under the Contract. Staff has coordinated the timing of these projects to minimize interference with the Glades’ harvest season. These two projects are using $500,000 of infrastructure sales tax funding. The remaining funding is provided through the “Glades Area Roads Repair/Reconstruction” account within the Five Year Road Program. District 6 (LBH)

Daly Company to provide 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 sub-consultants.  (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide/District 2 (LDC)

I.          ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

 

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.

Districts 1 & 2 (JB)

These are Federal CDBG funds which require no local match. District 6 (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)

6.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Second 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)

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 the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per respective organization or agency.  No new positions are needed and no additional County funds are required.  Countywide (DC)

Summary: On November 1, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the award of $494,000 in State Housing Initiatives 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 Administrator, or designee, to execute the Subordination Agreement is requested to enable a timely response when the closing is scheduled. These are SHIP grant funds which require no local match. District 3 (JB)

C.        LIBRARY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve an Agreement with the Palm Beach County School Board to implement the Summer Food Services Program for children at the Acreage, Wellington, Jupiter, Greenacres, Main, Lantana Road and Belle Glade branches of the Palm Beach County Library System from June 6, 2017, through July 28, 2017, excluding holidays and weekends; and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute this agreement and to utilize similar programs in the future for children up to the age 18 if the program is deemed successful.

 

Summary:  The School Board Summer Food Service provides meals to all children in approved geographical areas of need where 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced price meals during the school year.  All children up through age 18 are eligible for nutritious lunch meals and an afternoon snack.  The service is conducted by the Palm Beach County School Board School Food Service who will serve lunch in the meeting rooms of the selected Palm Beach County Library System locations.  Summer Food Services staff members are responsible for delivery, distribution, and clean up during the lunch program.  The School Board will leave snack items to be shared in the late afternoon from the Children’s Services desks in the library for children up through age 18. There are no financial costs for the Library District. Countywide (AH)

 

 

D.        YOUTH SERVICES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Youth and Young Adult Internship Non-Financial Agreement (Agreement) with CareerSource Palm Beach County, Inc. (CareerSource) 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 (HH)

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)
