3. Staff recommends motion to approve: Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with Centerline Utilities Inc. (CUI), Mathews Consulting, Inc. (MCI), and Last Devenport, Inc. (LDI). SUMMARY: The Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (Agreement) relates to a Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department project for the installation of a reclaimed water pipeline under the Florida Turnpike (Project). MCI and County entered into an annual contract for Engineering/Professional Services on June 3, 2014 (R2014-0823). The County issued Consultant Service Authorization No. 17 (CSA) to the annual contract for the design of the Project to MCI on July 23, 2015. MCI then entered into a Subcontractor Agreement with LDI, which designed the Project. Following the design process, the Project was competitively bid, and CUI was the lowest responsive bidder, and entered into a contract dated June 21, 2016 for the construction of the Project (R2016-0780) (Construction Contract). The Project as designed included the installation of a 30 inch casing pipe under the Florida Turnpike through which a 24 inch carrier pipe was to be pulled. Following the installation of the casing pipe, it was discovered that the casing pipe had collapsed, making it impossible to pull the carrier pipe. The casing pipe was grouted and abandoned in place. The parties disputed the cause of the collapsed casing pipe, and attempted to resolve the issues prior to the filing of a lawsuit. On May 23, 2017, the parties attended a presuit mediation, and agreed upon the terms of the settlement, which are memorialized in the Agreement. The key terms are as follows: (1) LDI shall pay the County $287,000 within 60 days of the effective date of the Agreement; (2) CUI will pay the County $72,000 within 60 days of the effective date of the Agreement; (3) CUI releases any claim for final payment owing under the Construction Contract, which is in the amount of $60,690.04 according to the final invoice provided by CUI; (4) all parties release any and all claims against the other parties related to the Project; the Construction Contract, the CSA, and the Subcontractor Agreement; and (5) County will retain all parts or materials procured under the Construction Contract and in the County’s possession, which includes approximately 750 linear feet of 24 inch HDPE pipe.

Jerome Golden Center for Behavioral Health, Inc. (JGC), for the period August
1, 2017 through January 31, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $59,632 for case
management services. SUMMARY: The
Division of Human and Veteran Services (DHS) is tasked with conducting street
outreach services for homeless individuals and families. A primary target for
outreach efforts are the county and municipal parks. During these targeted
efforts, the homeless individuals identified appear to most often be
experiencing mental health and/or substance abuse issues and many times refuse
assistance. Studies have shown that when behavioral health services are addressed
from the street, along with ongoing engagement, these “hard to serve”
individuals are more likely to agree to housing placement. As a result of this
evidence, an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team is being piloted to
determine if the ACT model, which provides multidisciplinary, flexible
treatment and support to people with mental illness and/or substance abuse would be more successful in serving this
targeted population. The ACT Team will consist of the following: a DHS Case
Manager, Peer Specialist, Registered Nurse (RN), Employment Specialist, and two
Behavioral Health Specialists. JGC will provide two full-time equivalent Case
Managers who specialize in behavioral health. Outreach staff will be
knowledgeable in mental health and substance issues and resources. The Palm

require that for no less than five years following demolition, the property
serve a CDBG/NSP eligible use such as affordable housing, a public facility, or
a commercial facility, which predominantly serves low and moderate-income
persons. This Agreement requires the
municipality to place an encumbrance on the title to such properties in order
to restrict their use, to secure the Federal funds, and to ensure compliance
with HUD grant requirements. The
Agreement will begin on the date of its approval by the Board of County
Commissioners and will remain in effect until terminated for a period

the County to indemnify USDA for “all expenses, whether incurred in or out of
court, whether incurred before or after this note shall become due at its
maturity date or otherwise, which USDA may deem necessary or proper in
connection with obtaining satisfaction of the indebtedness, including but not
limited to reasonable attorney’s fees”.
Pursuant to the Contract Development PPM, the County should not agree to
the indemnity provision concerning attorney fees. 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. These are Federal loan funds, which require no local match. District

amount not-to-exceed $1,290,000, for the repair and renovation of Fire Station
19.
SUMMARY: On June 8, 2017, a non-County
vehicle struck and broke the 4” backflow device located in the front of Fire
Station 19. The broken backflow device discharged large amounts of water
onto the fire station’s roof and water intrusion flooded and destroyed the
entire crew side of the building. Temporary housing arrangements for staff have
been made until the necessary repairs/renovations are completed. Trillium
Construction Inc. is under contract with the County to provide construction
management services for various projects under a continuing services agreement.
The construction documents for the repair and renovation of Fire Station 19 are
nearing completion, and Trillium Construction Inc. will begin the competitive
bidding process required by the Contract immediately thereafter. In order to
ensure the project can begin as soon as possible, staff is requesting the Board
authorize the County Administrator or designee to approve the Amendment with
Trillium Construction Inc. upon receiving and evaluating the subcontractor bids
for the work. Due to the extent of the building’s damage and required
construction efforts, the roof will also be replaced as part of this project.
The roof is currently 19 years old with a useful life expectancy of 20 years.
The planned replacement of the roof and select upgrades to the bunk area and
Captains quarters are going to be accomplished at the same time in order to
avoid disrupting station operations a second time. The estimated total project
cost is $1,468,000 ($1,290,000 for construction costs and $178,000 for
architect’s fee, staff charges, replacement of equipment, furnishings, etc.,
and other miscellaneous costs). This budget transfer and budget amendment will
fund the necessary repair and renovation to Fire Station 19. Funding for this
project is from the Fire Rescue MSTU contingency; however, an insurance claim
is being processed by Risk Management. Any insurance proceeds received will be
returned to the Fire Rescue MSTU (Fund 1300). District 1 (SB)

School has requested that Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR) donate a fire
engine to be used for training purposes within their Fire Academy. PBCFR has
identified a 2001 reserve fleet fire engine that has reached the end of its
professional usefulness. This Agreement will transfer this engine to the SBPBC
in exchange for providing PBCFR with a credit of $33,500 (value of the fire
engine) to be used in lieu of payments for fees charged by the SBPBC for the
use of the campus and buildings at Wellington High School. PBCFR uses will
include recruiting, testing, training and graduation/promotion ceremonial
purposes. This agreement is for a period of ten years commencing on the date of
its execution by both parties, or until the exhaustion of the $33,500 credit,
whichever comes first. The SBPBC’s non-discrimination policy is consistent with
the County’s policy with minor discrepancies. The SBPBC’s policy does not
specifically include ancestry; familial status; or genetic information;
however, it does specifically include ethnicity and national origin; parental
status; and any other characteristics protected by law, such as genetic
information. Countywide (SB)
5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: write-off of uncollectible emergency
transport patient accounts to remove these amounts from the County’s general
ledger for the following period:
October 1, 2012
through September 30, 2013 (FY 2013) $11,879,423.30
SUMMARY: In December 1994, the Board
authorized Fire Rescue to transport critically ill/injured patients and bill
for those services. The County contracts with a private company for these
billings and collections services. The County receives payment from a number of
sources, including commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and private
individuals. During the period October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013, Fire
Rescue generated $38,125,653.90 in gross transport billings and collected
(to-date) $18,844,029.35. After adjustments of $7,402,201.25, required under
the guidelines of the Medicare/Medicaid programs, the balance of $11,879,423.30
is currently deemed to be uncollectible. This balance is primarily due to
partial payments, insurance denial based on medical necessity, the inability to
obtain accurate patient and/or insurance information, and patients without
medical coverage or high deductibles. Staff recommends the amount deemed
uncollectible be written-off the County’s financial accounting system. Countywide (SB)

Pollution Control Program. SUMMARY: This Resolution is required by the August 21,
1984, Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners and the Department of
Health Palm Beach County (DOHPBC) to establish the annual budget for the
expenditure of fees deposited into the Air Pollution Control Trust Fund. This Program is solely supported by motor
vehicle license registration fees. The proposed FY 2017/2018 budget for the
Air Pollution Control Program from this funding source is $1,140,387, which is
a 3.42% increase from the current year budget. The increase in budget is
primarily due to the capital expenses and replacing the old air monitoring
equipment. This budget can be accommodated by future revenues and a surplus
in the Air Pollution Control Trust Fund.

SUMMARY: Since the early 1990’s, the Meridian phone system has
provided phone service to the Governmental Center and the Judicial Center
complex in West Palm Beach. This system was scheduled to be replaced
prior to August 1, 2017, as part of the final phase of the Unified
Communication System Project; however, the 36-month project schedule has been
extended by three months requiring an extension of the maintenance agreement
for the Meridian system. Accordingly, ISS has requested a three month
extension in the term of the Sub-Rider D7 Statement of Work, AT&T Equipment
Resale and Related Services Pricing Schedule (R2016-0454). AT&T
granted the extension from August 2, 2017 to November 1, 2017 with the same
terms and conditions as the original Sub-Rider, at a total cost of
$39,999. If the County does not require these maintenance services for
the entire three month period, the County may cancel the services with no

motion to approve: two year Agreement
with the Lakes of Delray, Inc. for the provision of transportation services on
Palm Tran fixed routes 70 and 81 effective February 1, 2017, in the amount of
$224,716.80. SUMMARY: Lakes of Delray, Inc. has contracted with Palm
Tran for bus service for its residents since the inception of the Lakes of
Delray development in 1982. Palm Tran
fixed routes 70 and 81 serve the Lakes of Delray Community as these routes
traverse east and west on major arterials serving Delray Beach with connecting
service to the entire Palm Tran bus network.
After a review of the service level cost to operate the deviate for
routes 70 and 81 that serve the Lakes of Delray Community, the cost is
relatively the same as the prior agreement.
As such, negotiated rates are the same as the previous agreement,
$112,358.40 per year. The Lakes of Delray residents are responsible for paying
transfer fares should they transfer from routes 70 or 81 to another Palm Tran
route. This Agreement is for the period

and economies of service, redefined the ADA core service area in FY 2003,
eliminating a portion of the ADA core area in the Village of Wellington. The
original partnership (R2003-2073) was formed after the County redefined the ADA
core service area to exclude the Village of Wellington. Currently, Palm Tran provides an average of

SUMMARY: In December 2016, the Board approved agreements with
DCF and CHS to offer support services 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, while allowing the County to
request a portion for reimbursement from DCF. DCF receives federal funding
and calculates reimbursement to the County using the Florida Safe Families

service, after which a 50% reimbursement rate is applied. The estimated revenue
of $27,000 over the term of this Contract will offset the contract
expense. The net fiscal impact will be funded by proposed ad valorem

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 estimated 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 after approval of this item is $1,136,220. The
funds requested are to aid PBSO and qualified organizations that meet the
requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by the
Board of County Commissioners, upon request of the Sheriff. The current State
LETF balance is $1,684,130. Approval of this request will reduce the State Law
Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,501,130. The PBSO certifies that the use of
these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055. Below is a table indicating the organizations

recommends motion to adopt: Resolution that amends the 2017 Westgate/Belvedere Homes CRA Community
Redevelopment Plan. SUMMARY: Pursuant to BCC Ordinance No. 89-11
and F.S. 163.361, the Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Agency
(Westgate CRA) is required to have Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approval
to update and amend the Westgate CRA Community Redevelopment Plan adopted by
the BCC on January 11, 2005, via Resolution No. 2005-0128. Certain projects,
programs, undertakings, and actions contemplated in the 2005 Plan are being
implemented and will be continued in the amended version. The provisions of the
amended Plan will serve as a guide for redevelopment within the designated
boundaries of the Westgate/Belvedere Homes community redevelopment area. The
2017 Amended Plan focuses on six important areas: Economic Development and
Redevelopment, Market Positioning, Housing, Community Improvement,
Infrastructure and Public Space Improvements, and Planning for Redevelopment.
In this Plan, the CRA has shifted from a focus on infrastructure improvements
to economic growth and vertical redevelopment. The Plan provides a framework to
develop programs and strategies to incentivize development and investment in an
effort to increase the tax base and revitalize the area. All focus areas
complement economic development priorities. In order for new businesses to be
successful, the CRA must become a special destination by facilitating the
construction of mixed-use mixed-income workforce housing that prevents
gentrification while enhancing the buying power of the area, by creating open
space, by partnering to prevent crime, through beautifying existing amenities,
and careful market positioning. The CRA met with several county staff
individually and hosted three public outreach meetings and presentations in an
effort to gather input and support. At the April 25, 2017 workshop, the Amended
Plan was presented to the Board of County Commissioners and no changes were
recommended. The Local Planning Agency (LPA) reviewed the Amended Plan at their
regular meeting on May 12, 2017, and determined that it is consistent with the
policies and objectives set forth by the Comprehensive Plan. No changes to the
content of the proposed Amended Plan were recommended by the LPA. The

motion to adopt: Resolution to
abandon any public interest in all those certain tracts and easements created
by and lying within the plat of Appolonia Farms P.U.D. Plat One, as recorded in
Plat Book 111, Pages 41 through 45, and to vacate all of the plat of Appolonia
Farms P.U.D. Plat One, as recorded in Plat Book 111, Pages 41 through 45,
Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida.
SUMMARY: Adoption of this
resolution will eliminate the public dedications that are in conflict with
future redevelopment plans for the Boca Raton Associates VIII, LLLP
(Owner) property. The petition site is located two miles south of Atlantic
Avenue and one-half mile north of Clint Moore Road, on the east side of Lyons
Road and on the west side of Florida’s Turnpike. As provided in Palm Beach
County Code Chapter 22. Article III, Road Abandonment and Plat Vacation
(Ordinance 2002-034), there is no privilege fee because the filing fee exceeds
the value of the right-of-way abandoned. District 5 (LBH)

motion to adopt: Resolution denying
the abandonment of any portion of the 60 foot wide right-of-way (ROW) for
Balboa Lane, as recorded in the plat of Boca Del Mar No. 2, Plat Book 30, Page
80, Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida; or in the
alternative
A)
approve utility easement deed
for the City of Boca Raton (City) for a portion of Balboa Lane; and
B)
adopt Resolution to abandon all
of the 60 foot wide right-of-way (ROW) for Balboa Lane, as recorded in the plat
of Boca Del Mar No. 2, Plat Book 30, Page 80, Public Records of Palm Beach
County, Florida.
SUMMARY: Adoption of the staff recommendation will deny the request by Penn Florida Club
Properties, LLC (Club) to abandon the ROW. This application was scheduled for
the July 11, 2017 Board of County Commissioners (BCC) public hearing but was
continued due to a withdrawal of a required party’s (Whitehall Condominium)
consent to the application. Since staff
has not received the required consent from the abutting property owner, the
application fails to meet the Palm Beach County Code Chapter 22. Article III,
Road Abandonment and Plat Vacation (Ordinance 2002-034) requirement that “any
petition for abandonment of right-of-way shall be signed by all owners of
abutting property”, and is therefore subject to a recommendation of denial from
staff. If the BCC wishes to approve the Club’s request to abandon
the ROW, which would allow the Club to pursue redevelopment of the Boca Del Mar
Clubhouse at Mizner Golf and Country Club, the alternative motions should be approved
and adopted. The ROW currently functions as a secondary driveway for access to
the clubhouse, the Whitehall Condominium Property and the golf course
maintenance facilities. However, this access to Whitehall had been physically
blocked to prevent vehicular access. The ROW is located west of Military Trail,
south of Palmetto Park Road, east of Powerline Road and north of Camino Real.
If approved, the petition to abandon the ROW is subject to a privilege fee of
$2,825.41. District 4 (LBH)

policy for County Commission staff, which created a progression plan for
Commission support staff and allowed all employees that held the position of
County Commission Administrative Assistant to be eligible, at the discretion of
the Commissioner, for a promotion to an E01 pay grade. On February 7, 2017, the
Board directed staff to work with Commissioner Bernard to address salary
concerns for commission staff. The proposed amended resolution would provide
for an additional step in the Commission support staff progression plan, and an
amended schedule for progression eligibility. On the effective date of the
amended resolution, Commission staff would be eligible, at the discretion of
the Commissioner, to be placed into whichever pay grade their tenure dictates,
consistent with the resolution. Countywide (DO)

Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 7, Article IV, Section 7-52 of the Palm Beach County
Code (Ordinance 2015-028), pertaining to the Palm Beach County Amendments to the Florida Building Code (FBC), 5th Edition
(2014), Chapter 1, "Administration"

Hazard Areas); Providing for Repeal of Laws in Conflict; Providing for
Inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; Providing for a Savings Clause;
Providing for Severability; and Providing for an Effective Date. SUMMARY: A
conflict has been identified between Section 104.10.1 of the Palm Beach County
Amendments to the Florida Building Code, Chapter 1 (Chapter 1) and pending
revisions to Article 18 of
the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC), Flood Damage Prevention. These
changes were recommended by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and
required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as part of the
National Flood Insurance Program Flood Insurance Rate Map update process for
Palm Beach County. Section 104.10.1 of Chapter 1 establishes criteria for
granting a variance from the local floodplain management regulations. These
criteria are not consistent with the conditions for granting a variance from
the floodplain management requirements set forth in pending changes to Article
18 of the ULDC. This amendment is necessary to make Section 104.10.1 of Chapter

Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida, Multifamily Housing
Revenue Bonds (Heron Estates Senior Apartments) within the meaning of Section
147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Section 2-190,
Palm Beach County Code of Ordinances; approving RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as
the placement agent of said Bonds, within the meaning of Section 2-190, Palm
Beach County Code of Ordinances; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY:
On June 21, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted Resolution
R2016-0825 in connection with the Heron Estates Senior Apartments project
located at the SE corner of West 17th Street and North Congress
Avenue, in Riviera Beach. That
Resolution approved the issuance of $12,000,000 in multifamily housing revenue
bonds. HTG Heron Estates Senior, LLC
(Borrower) has advised the Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County
(Authority) that it now desires to increase the not to exceed amount of the
Bonds from $12,000,000 to $13,200,000 to be privately placed by RBC Capital
Markets, thereby necessitating the adoption of this resolution. The Bonds will
finance a portion of the costs of acquiring, constructing and equipping a
101-unit multifamily rental housing development which will be rented to persons
and families at 60% of area median income for a period of 30 years. The County is participating in the funding of
this project through a loan of $115,000 in State Housing Initiatives
Partnership Program funds which represent the local match under State Apartment
Incentive Loan Program. The Co-Developers are the Housing Trust Group of
Florida and the Riviera Beach Housing Authority. Greenberg Traurig is Bond Counsel to the
Authority with respect to the Bonds. On
June 30, 2017, the Authority held a public hearing with respect to the Bonds as
required by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Bonds will be payable solely from
revenues derived from the Borrower and/or other collateral provided by or on
behalf of the Borrower. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of
the County nor any County funds are pledged to pay the principal, redemption
premium, if any, of interest on the Bonds. District 7 (PFK)

motion to adopt: Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the issuance of Revenue Bonds in an
amount not to exceed $25,000,000 by the Palm Beach County Health Facilities
Authority (Bonds). SUMMARY: The proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned by
the Palm Beach County Health Facilities Authority (Authority) to TrustBridge,
Inc. (TrustBridge). TrustBridge is the
parent entity of Hospice of Palm Beach County, Inc. (HSPB) and Hospice by the
Sea, Inc. (HBTS), and TrustBridge will use the proceeds to refinance debt
incurred to pay the cost of capital expenditures to HSPB's and HBTS's hospice
facilities located at 5300 East Avenue in West Palm Beach and at 1531 West
Palmetto Park Road in Boca Raton, including the County's Variable Rate Demand
Revenue Bonds, Series 2001 (Hospice of Palm Beach County, Inc. Project). All financed assets will be owned and
operated by TrustBridge, HSPB or HBTS. 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

Padgett Island and Fremd Village public housing complexes in unincorporated
Palm Beach County.
SUMMARY: The Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability (DHES) has
identified CDBG contingency funding in the amount of $1,481,000. These funds are from the recapture of monies
from various fiscal years from projects that were successfully completed under
budget or projects which did not move forward. DHES is proposing that these
funds be used to support five public facilities and improvement projects. The improvements at John Prince Park will be
implemented by the Parks and Recreation Department. The improvements at Foxtail Palm Park will be

June 7, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved
(R2016-0718) an Economic Development Incentive for the Company totaling
$576,400. This Agreement discloses the name of the Company, Modernizing
Medicine, Inc., previously referred to as Project P2P. The Company develops specialty-specific
electronic health record technology for physicians designed to increase efficiency
in medical practices and improve both treatment and business outcomes. The Agreement requires the Company to make a
minimum capital investment of $15 Million to acquire, renovate, and equip a
210,000 square foot facility. The Company shall create 838 new jobs over a six
year period and retain 327 existing full time jobs. These new full time jobs must have an
annualized average wage of $55,000 excluding benefits and a median wage of
$47,500. The Company is required to
maintain the new jobs for five years from date of creation, and will maintain
the existing retained jobs for five years from the date this Agreement becomes
effective. The five-year economic impact
is estimated to be $339 Million. The Agreement states that in the event the
Company fails to satisfy job creation requirements but fulfills all other
applicable requirements under the Agreement, the Company shall forfeit a pro
rata share of the incentive amount due for the number of jobs created. If the
Company’s fulfillment of the job creation requirement falls below 80%, the County
has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Agreement. The State of
Florida has approved a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) tax refund for the
Company in the amount of $2,514,000 and a Quick Action Closing Fund (QACF)
grant in the amount of $1,300,000 for a total incentive package of
$3,814,000. The Company and the State
have entered into agreements for both programs.
Both incentive programs require local financial support. The required $502,800 match to the QTI tax
refund will be split equally between Palm Beach County ($251,400) and the City
of Boca Raton ($251,400). The required
$650,000 match to the QACF grant will be split equally between Palm Beach
County ($325,000) and the City of Boca Raton ($325,000). The Palm Beach County match will be provided
in the form of an ad valorem tax exemption in an amount not to exceed $576,400
over a nine year period provided the project meets the requirements under

educational facilities are located in the City of Boca Raton, a municipality
located in the County, and part are located in the City of Fort Lauderdale, the
County will be authorized pursuant to an interlocal agreement with the City of
Fort Lauderdale to issue the Bonds for such educational facilities. The Borrower
has paid the required application fee and remains obligated to pay the fees of
the County Attorney’s office incurred in connection with the proposed issuance
of the Bonds. The Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived from the
School. Neither the taxing power nor
the faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt
Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County (BCC),
Florida, authorizing the execution and submittal of a grant application and
grant agreement with the Florida Commission for the Transportation
Disadvantaged (CTD), in the amount of $3,880,913 for FY 2017/2018 to provide
Palm Tran Connection Service (Connection) trips in accordance with the
Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund (TDTF) requirements of Chapter 427,
Florida Statutes, and Rule 41-2, Florida Administrative Code;
B) approve
budget transfer of $212,884 in the General Fund Contingency Reserve to the Palm
Tran Grant Fund 1341 for the County’s match; and
C) approve
budget amendment of $3,022,411 in Palm Tran’s Grant Fund 1341 for Fiscal Year
2017/2018 in order to recognize the grant award.
SUMMARY: Since June
1999, the BCC has received annual funding from the State of Florida through the
CTD to provide opportunities for non-sponsored transportation disadvantaged
citizens, not covered under ADA regulations, to obtain access to transportation
for daily living needs when they are not sponsored for that need by any other
available federal, state or local funding source. These services are provided
by Palm Tran Connection, and last year approximately 2,580 County residents
utilized this service; taking 96,799 trips and using 38,537 passes. For FY
2017/2018, the County has been awarded $3,492,821, which requires a local match
of 10% or $388,092 for a total grant agreement of $3,880,913. The total cost to
provide TD Service is $4,839,826 which requires a County match in the amount of
$958,315, in order to maintain the program at its current level. At the January
28, 2014 Workshop, the BCC directed Staff not to reduce the TD service in
advance of the issuance of the Request for Proposals for three new paratransit

Amendment to the Lease Agreement with Robert Weatherbee d/b/a The Sub Division
(Sub Division) is in the best interest of the County; and
B) approve a Fourth
Amendment to the Lease Agreement (R2006-0077) with Sub Division to continue to
provide food services at the County’s Vista Center 2300 Building in West Palm
Beach at an annual rent of $10,657.76.
SUMMARY: Since
January 1, 2007, Sub Division has been leasing 349 square feet of space in the
lunchroom for the provision of food services at the County’s Vista Center 2300
Building located at 2300 North Jog Road. Sub Division pays its rent
timely, provides an acceptable level of service and quality food at reasonable
prices. Staff believes that it is unlikely there would be sufficient
interest in responding to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for food service operations
at this location to justify the Staff resources involved in issuing an
RFP. Staff, therefore recommends the Board find that an extension of the
Lease Agreement without a competitive process is in the best interests of the
County. This Fourth Amendment will extend the term for two years, from
January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, update the Non-Discrimination and
Inspector General provisions, provide for a 90-day termination by County and
180-day termination for Sub Division for any reason, and modify the utility
provision to recognize the limitations on supporting fax machines associated
with the County’s new phone system. On January 1, 2018, the annual rent

Nelson R. Santos and Teresa Santos (Santos) to acquire a .96 acre parcel
improved with a 2,505 sf home for $304,500.
SUMMARY: Fire Rescue desires
to develop a new Fire Station in the vicinity of Military Trail and Gateway
Boulevard in order to improve response times in the area. The County owns a 1.7 acre civic site on
White Feather Trail off Military Trail, north of Gateway Boulevard, in
unincorporated Boynton Beach which is currently being used by the Engineering
Department as a dry retention area for Military Trail roadway drainage. The
Santos property is adjacent to the civic site/retention area. Neither the civic site nor the Santos
property alone is sufficient for development of the Fire Station. Due to the
lack of vacant land suitable for development of a Fire Station, Staff has been
investigating ways to combine the civic site/retention area and the Santos
Property to support development of a Fire Station. The County’s due diligence
consultants have completed the majority of the due diligence which confirms
that acquisition of the Santos´ property will provide sufficient
additional land to accommodate both Engineering’s retention requirements and
development of the Fire Station. The
Agreement with Santos provides the County the right to terminate the Agreement
at any time prior to closing in the event that the results of remaining due
diligence are unsatisfactory. Staff has been working with Santos since 2016,
and Santos has reached a point where they will put the property back on the
market for sale if the County does not enter into a contract with them. As a
condition of agreeing to sell their property to the County, Santos increased
the price to $304,500, required the County to post a $4,500 non-refundable
deposit and to close on the purchase of the property by September 15, 2017, or
pay an additional non-refundable deposit of $3,000 for an additional 30-day
extension. Staff obtained an appraisal
valuing the property at $300,000. Staff
recommends that the Board approve this Agreement prior to completion of our due
diligence due to the fact that this is the only site which is both within the
optimum service area and has access to an existing signalized intersection, and
Staff does not want to risk losing the opportunity to purchase the Santos
property. The County’s sole risk is loss
of the deposits paid. The acquisition will be funded by Fire Rescue Impact Fees
and Fire Rescue has funding available to immediately commence design. Pursuant
to the PREM Ordinance, all purchases must be approved by a supermajority vote
(5 Commissioners). (PREM) District 3 (HJF)
