Company (R2015-0851) in the amount of $607,354 for additional professional
architectural and engineering design, permitting and construction
administration services for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO)
Evidence/Impound Facility. SUMMARY: This CSA No. 4 provides
additional design, permitting and construction administration services for the
expansion of the previously designed Evidence/Impound Facility, located on a
16-acre site near Congress Avenue and Gun Club Road in West Palm Beach.
The project’s program has been increased to include the Forensic Sciences
(Crime Lab and Ballistics) and the remainder of Technical Services within the
building, in a second story extension on top of the Evidence and Crime Scene
units. The presence of Technical Services Division currently within the
Headquarters building: 1) presents the highest risk for the introduction of chemical
and biological containments and 2) does not comply with currently available
environmental barriers and controls for these hazards; both presenting
occupational and physical health and safety risks. In addition, by
co-locating the existing multiple satellite evidence facilities, the
effectiveness of PBSO’s evidence custodial/security functions will be
significantly increased. This CSA is funded from 2008 Jail Expansion bond
issue and from Infrastructure Sales Tax (IST) funds. The total project
construction cost is now estimated at $23,286,000. It is anticipated that
construction will begin early 2018 with funding from IST funds and Public
Building Impact Fees. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation

On May 12, 2012 (Agenda Item 3D-3), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approved a Contract for Bond and Disclosure Counsel Services (Contract) between
the HFA and each of the two above named law firms. Each contract was for an initial term of

legal services provided by these firms include advice on all actions necessary
for the HFA’s issuance of bonds, the preparation of bond documents and bond
counsel opinions, the review and comment on all documents prepared by others in
connection with bond issuances, and the preparation of the bond offering

Estates affordable housing project;
B) A Subordination Agreement with Citibank, N.A.; and
C) Delegation of authority to the County
Administrator, or designee, to execute the aforesaid Subordination Agreement.
SUMMARY: On
September 1, 2015, (Agenda Item 3I-5), the Board of County Commissioners
authorized the allocation of SHIP funds as the required local match under
Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s (FHFC) Housing Tax Credit Program. The Department of Economic Sustainability
(DES) provided SPC a conditional award for a $115,000 loan subject to approval
of their Calusa Estates affordable housing project by FHFC under the Housing
Tax Credit Program. The project, which
will contain 114 affordable rental units, was delayed due to FHFC funding approvals,
but it has since been approved and is ready to proceed. The County’s funds will be used for
construction costs and will be secured by a mortgage and promissory note. The development will achieve a Florida Green
Building Coalition Certification and will include a clubhouse, computer lab,
splash pad, and resident programs including an after school program, literacy
program and employment assistance program. The Loan Agreement requires SPC to
pay annual interest payments on the loan over 30 years with the entire
principal due at the end of the term. The Calusa Estates project will be
located at the northeast corner of State Road 80 and SW 16th Street
in Belle Glade and has a total project cost of $23.9M. All 114 affordable rental units are intended
to be rented to households whose incomes are at or below 60% of the area median
income for a period of 30 years.
Citibank, N.A. has provided first mortgage financing for this project in
the amount of $13,810,000. SPC has
requested that the County subordinate its $115,000 mortgage to Citibank’s first
mortgage by means of the Subordination Agreement. This Subordination Agreement,
unlike standard subordination agreements, 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; and 2)
prohibits the County from commencing, or joining other creditors in commencing,
bankruptcy proceedings against the borrower.
Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to
execute the subordination agreement, subject to the County Attorney’s approval
of its content, is requested to enable a timely response when the closing is
scheduled. These are SHIP funds which require no local match. District

Agreement (R2016-0624) with 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 in West Palm Beach. The development will include a clubhouse, pool, Energy
Star appliances and provide Resident Programs including after school programs
for children, literacy training and an employment assistance program. These
funds represent the County’s local match as required under FHFC’s State
Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) Program.
Royal Palm Place is a $30.5 Million project and Citibank, N.A. will be
providing first mortgage financing. The
amount of this first mortgage has increased from $14,500,000 to an amount not
to exceed $17,000,000. FHFC will be
providing second and third mortgage financing as follows: a SAIL Program loan
of $4,750,000 and an Extremely Low Income Gap Loan of $495,000. The City will be providing fourth mortgage
financing in the amount of $300,000 and the County’s mortgage securing the
$115,000 in SHIP funding will be in fifth position. On May 17, 2016, the Board
of County Commissioners (Agenda Item 3I-1) delegated authority to the County
Administrator, or designee, to execute subordination agreements with Citibank
and FHFC. The Subordination Agreement with Citibank includes terms that: 1)
require 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; and 2)
prohibit the County from commencing, or joining other creditors in commencing,
bankruptcy proceedings against the borrower. The project site is owned by the West Palm Beach Housing Authority and
is leased to Royal Palm Place, Ltd. An
Easement Agreement exists between the West Palm Beach Housing Authority and
Silver Palm Place Associates, Ltd., the developer of the adjoining
property. The County has a mortgage on
the Silver Palm Place property. The
First Amendment to the Easement Agreement will allow Royal Palm Place, Ltd.
necessary ingress, egress, transport and utility rights in the easement. A joinder by the County consenting to the
First Amendment to the Easement Agreement is necessary since the County is a
mortgage holder. This request for
approval of delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or designee,
to execute Subordination Agreements with Citibank, FHFC, and the City, the
execution of the Joinder by SPP Mortgagee, subject to the County Attorney’s

motion to approve: Second
Amendment to Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection and Emergency Medical
Services Agreement with the Town of Jupiter for additional personnel to be
funded through the Jupiter Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) based on the
“Full Cost Formula”, which the amount for FY 2018 will be $406,615. SUMMARY: On November 19, 2013,
the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection and Emergency
Medical Services (R2013-1670) with the Town of Jupiter (Town) for a term of ten
years. The Town adopted Ordinance Number 42-13 to extend inclusion in the MSTU
through tax year 2022 to fund fire rescue services through September 30, 2023.
On February 7, 2017, the Board approved a First Amendment (R2017‑0209) to
increase the number of fire rescue personnel to be on duty at all times. This
proposed Second Amendment will increase the number of fire rescue personnel on
duty at all times from 18 to 19 beginning on October 1, 2017, and will require
four additional positions in order to cover the various shifts. The total
estimated cost for these four new positions for FY 2018 to the Jupiter
MSTU is $406,615, and is included in the proposed FY 2018 Jupiter MSTU
budget. An increase to the complement for the four new positions is also
included in the proposed FY 2018 Jupiter MSTU budget. The Town’s contract
price for this Agreement, as amended, is calculated on a “Full-Cost Formula”
methodology as described in the Agreement. The “Full‑Cost Formula”
methodology is calculated using a percentage of the Battalion 1 budget based on
the percentage of Unit Responses within the Jupiter MSTU boundaries. The
percentage of Unit Responses used for developing the FY 2018 Jupiter MSTU
budget is 67.44%. This proposed Second
Amendment will increase the Fire Rescue personnel complement beginning in FY
2018 by four Firefighter/Paramedic positions for an estimated cost to
the main Fire/Rescue MSTU of $602,929, of which 67.44% or $406,615, will be
funded by a transfer from the Jupiter MSTU in FY 2018. This arrangement
also benefits the main Fire/Rescue MSTU by the provision of additional
personnel to serve the Battalion 1 area. Countywide/District 1 (SB)

project.
SUMMARY: Adoption of
this Resolution will allow Palm Beach County to assess 50% ($150,750) of the
total project cost ($301,500) to the 11 benefitting property owners. On April
2, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners approved the allocation of $100,000
to the project. Approval of the budget
transfer will allocate the remaining required balance of $201,500 to the
project. The project includes construction of roadway pavement, driveway
reconstruction and drainage improvements. In accordance with Section 26-24 of the MSTU Special Assessment Ordinance
in effect prior to May 1, 2013, projects accepted into the MSTU program were
assessed 50% of the total cost, instead of 100%. To recoup the $150,750, each lot will be

A) approve the Five Year Road Program (Program) Findings of Fact (per Article
12.M.3.A of the Unified Land Development Code) with a majority plus one vote
that the delay of the three intersection projects (Atlantic Avenue and
Florida’s Turnpike, Sandalfoot Boulevard and State Road 7 and SW 3rd

motion to:
A) conduct a public hearing for approval of the use of the Uniform Method
of collecting non-ad valorem special assessments provided for in Chapter 197,
Florida Statutes pursuant to the Notice of Intent adopted by Resolution 97-2152
and Resolution 2011-1833;
B) adopt the non-ad valorem special assessment roll and specify the unit of
measurement and amount of the assessment; and
C) authorize the Mayor to certify the non-ad valorem assessment roll on
electronic media to the Tax Collector pursuant to Chapter 197, Florida
Statutes.
SUMMARY: On December 16, 1997, the Board approved Resolution 97-2152, and on
November 15, 2011, the Board approved Resolution 2011-1833, expressing the
intent of Palm Beach County to use the Uniform Method of collecting non-ad
valorem special assessments. The Uniform
Method in Resolution 97-2152 provides for inclusion of water and street
improvement project special assessments on the tax bill. The Uniform Method in
Resolution 2011-1833 provides for the abatement of nuisance conditions. Placing
these accounts on the tax bill reduces administrative (including collections)
costs and provides for a more efficient collection of amounts due to the
County. A public hearing is required to implement this collection method for
new special assessment projects to be included on the 2017 tax bill. Countywide (PK)

Neighborhood Renaissance, Inc.;
B) approve HOME Program CHDO funding
award of $749,767 to Community Land Trust of Palm Beach County, Inc.;
C) direct staff to negotiate the funding agreements;
and
D) authorize the County
Administrator, or designee, to execute the funding agreements, amendments
thereto, and all other documents necessary for project implementation including
subordination agreements.
Summary: The Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Annual Action Plans allocating HOME
CHDO funding for Fiscal Years 2011-2012 (R2011-1095), 2012-2013 (R2012-0942),
2013-2014 (R2013-0950), 2014-2015 (R2014-1079), and 2016-2017 (R2016-0928). On
March 29, 2017, the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) issued Request
for Proposals DES.2017.1 (RFP) making available $1,186,954 in HOME CHDO
set-aside funds and up to $158,984 in operating funds to Palm Beach County
Certified CHDOs for the creation of affordable rental or homeownership housing through
new construction or acquisition and/or rehabilitation of residential
property. A selection committee
consisting of five voting members met at a public meeting held on June 7, 2017,
and recommended that: a) Neighborhood Renaissance, Inc., be awarded $532,187
for four of eight townhomes to be known as Art Lofts at West Village to be
constructed at 110 North F Street (NE Corner of North F Street and Lucerne
Avenue) in Lake Worth; and b) Community Land Trust (CLT) of Palm Beach
County, Inc., be awarded $654,767 in set-aside funds and $95,000 in operating
funds for the construction of six single family homes and one duplex, on
scattered sites in Palm Springs. The Art Lofts at West Village project
leverages 20% of HOME funding with 80% of funding from other sources for a
total development cost of $2,625,700. The CLT project leverages 42% of HOME
funding with 58% of funding from other resources for a total development cost
of $1,800,000. All funded housing units
including the four townhomes, the six single family homes and the duplex will
be sold to households with incomes no greater than 80% of Area Median Income
(AMI). It is anticipated that the County
will be required to subordinate its mortgages to mortgages held by other
lenders in order for these projects to proceed.
The required subordination agreements are likely to include terms that:
1) require 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; and 2)
prohibit the County from commencing, or joining other creditors in commencing,
bankruptcy proceedings against the borrower.
To facilitate project implementation, staff is requesting the
authorization for the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the funding
agreements and related documents. These are Federal HOME Program grant funds
which require a 25% local match provided by State SHIP funds. District 3

acquisition and the construction of eighteen homes that were to be sold to very
low, low and moderate income households on property now known as Brook’s
Subdivision. Of that amount, $786,778.51 was expended to acquire the property
and complete on-site infrastructure before the project stalled. The default
provisions of the Conditional Grant Agreement required that the 18 SHIP
assisted homes be completed and sold to eligible homebuyers by December 31,
2010. After Brook’s failed to construct
any of the homes, on February 7, 2014, the County initiated action to foreclose
on the property. The Final Judgment of
Foreclosure was entered by the Court on February 11, 2016, and a Certificate of
Title issued to the County on April 6, 2016, for 18 lots within the
subdivision. Prior to the County’s receipt of the property, taxes went unpaid
by Brook’s starting in 2009, and along with accrued interest and fees now total
an estimated $147,297.96. Approval of
this item will authorize payment from the Workforce Housing Program Trust Fund
to pay the taxes in order for a new project to move forward. Staff intends to issue a Request for
Proposals to procure a developer to build single-family homes on the
County-owned lots and to sell those homes to eligible buyers. The project will
result in the new construction of 18 workforce/affordable housing to buyers
with varying incomes but no greater than 140% AMI. District 7 (JB)
E. ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) waiver of PPM CW-F-049 (Contract
Development PPM) with regard to the indemnity provision in a license agreement
with Florida East Coast Railway, LLC (FEC);
B) license agreement with FEC in
the amount of $680,898.25 for reconstruction of the Silver Beach Road railroad
DOT/AAR crossing number 272389V to accommodate the widening of Silver Beach
Road from east of Congress Avenue to President Barack Obama Highway/Old Dixie
Highway (Project); and
C) waiver of the Contract
Development PPM with regard to all future agreements with FEC that are in
substantially similar form as this FEC license agreement.
SUMMARY:
Approval of this agreement allows FEC to remove and rebuild the existing
railroad-crossing surface at Silver Beach Road. This is required to accommodate the Project. Palm Beach County
(County) is obligated to fund all maintenance and improvements associated with
the crossing. The cost of construction is $680,898.25. The agreement requires
the County to indemnify FEC for “assessments or other charges of any kind
whatsoever” arising out of the crossing site. Pursuant to the Contract
Development PPM, the County could not legally agree to this indemnity
provision. However, a recent Florida Supreme Court decision recognizes that
contractual indemnity arrangements are enforceable, thus Staff is requesting
approval of a waiver of the Contract Development PPM in this instance. The
Contract Development PPM will be reviewed and revised, as appropriate. District

F. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: First Amendment to Amended and
Restated Fixed Base Operator Lease Agreement (Lease) (R2016-0759) with Galaxy
Aviation of Lantana, Inc. d/b/a Stellar Aviation of South Palm Beach (Stellar),
removing the requirement to construct an aviation fuel farm and aircraft wash
rack; providing for the extension of construction deadlines; requiring Stellar
to pay the County a fuel farm recovery fee in the amount of $.08 per gallon of
aviation fuel sold (Recovery Fee); providing opportunity for rental relief
based on temporary flight restrictions (TFRs); and modifying the lease term to
provide 30 years from substantial completion of the construction of a new
terminal building or October 1, 2020, whichever occurs first. SUMMARY: Stellar provides fixed based operator
services at the Palm Beach County Park Airport (Lantana Airport) pursuant to
the Lease. Stellar is a Florida corporation with its principal place of
business in Lantana, Florida. The Lease requires Stellar to build a fuel farm
and wash rack; however, the County received a grant from the Florida Department
of Transportation, which will fund 80% of the cost of the improvements. Stellar
will be responsible for the operation, maintenance and management of the fuel
farm and wash rack and will pay the County the Recovery Fee, which will allow
the County to recover its share of the cost of the improvements and provide for
future repairs. The fuel farm will include a self-service fuel system, which
will provide airport users with a lower cost fuel option. The County will be
responsible for the cost of repairs to the fuel farm in excess of $15,000 per
year, which will be reimbursed through rental credit. Because Stellar will not be responsible for
funding the fuel farm, the Amendment also provides for a reduction to the
Minimum Capital Investment from $5,525,000 to $4,750,000. The Lease requires
Stellar to complete renovations to the existing terminal building by October 1,
2020, and construction of a new terminal building by October 1, 2019. The
Amendment modifies the requirement to provide for the renovation of the
existing terminal to be completed by October 1, 2019, and construction of the
new terminal to be completed by October 1, 2020. The Lease provides Stellar
with 30 years to amortize its investment in the construction of a new terminal
building. The Amendment updates the term to reflect the new construction
deadline of October 1, 2020. The
Amendment authorizes the Department to further extend construction deadlines
based on impacts of TFRs imposed during Presidential visits to Mar-a-Lago and
authorizes Stellar to provide appropriate rental relief to commercial tenants
subject to the approval of the Department. Countywide (HJF)

B) Staff to submit to the Property Appraiser
public hearing dates of Tuesday, September 5 at 6 p.m. and Monday, September 18
at 6 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, 6th floor of the Governmental
Center for FY 2018;
C) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2018 budget for capital projects approved and established in
the current fiscal year. These projects
were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2017) after the preparation of the
proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2018
budget. These adjustments will have no
impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative
budget to be presented at the first public hearing; and
D) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2018 budget for designated fund balances for contingency and
other projects and carryover for encumbrances.
These balances and encumbrances were approved in the current fiscal year
(FY 2017) after the preparation of the proposed budget and are therefore not
currently included in the FY 2018 budget.
These adjustments will have no impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and
will be incorporated into the tentative budget to be presented at the first
public hearing.
SUMMARY: The
proposed millage rates for Countywide, Library, & Fire Rescue MSTU are at
the current year millage rate, and above rollback. The millage rate for the Jupiter Fire MSTU is
above the current year millage rate, and above rollback. Countywide (PFK)
