County Cares to determine how the County could assist with Hurricane Maria
relief efforts targeting affected residents of these islands. Staff is recommending that logistical support
be provided for relief supply collection efforts on October 21, 2017 and

preparing to assist arrivals from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands with
services by establishing connections with State and Federal agencies, local
relief organizations, businesses resources, faith-based organizations and other
entities, and providing direct services as required. A Resource Guide to Assistance Support has
been prepared and will be available for distribution this week. Although Governor Scott has declared a State
of Emergency for Hurricane Maria for Florida there is no federal
declaration. Therefore, the County may
not be eligible for federal reimbursement of these expenses. Countywide

discrimination complaints for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017

of Cooperative Agreement No. FF204K174023 was required prior to September 25,
2017 to meet HUD’s FY 2017 federal funding deadlines. The emergency signature

$247,850 represents a $47,850 increase over the budgeted $200,000, and includes
$164,100 for case processing; $28,750 for training funds; and $55,000 for
administrative costs. Board ratification of the Mayor’s signature will ensure

SUMMARY: On April 2, 2013, the BCC approved a list
of pre-qualified public and non-profit agencies to provide various training
services for the Community Services Department (Agenda Item 3E-6). Credit Card
Management Services, Inc. is one of the agencies selected as a qualified

pre-qualified non-profit agencies to provide various training services. Both
Community Caring Center of Greater Boynton Beach, Inc. and Business Loan Fund
of the Palm Beaches, Inc. are agencies selected as qualified vendors (Agenda Item
3E-1). Michelle Davis, employee of Community Caring Center of Greater Boynton
Beach Inc. is a member of the Community Action Advisory Board (CAAB). Both
items delegated signature authority to the County Administrator, or designee,
to execute contracts and amendments for this purpose. These contracts are being submitted in accordance with Countywide PPM No.

Services Block Grant period from 12 months to 18 months to accommodate a new

the change in grant period resulted in a late execution of the 2017 Community
Services Block Grant. A bridge agreement was executed to allow Community
Services to continue to serve qualified clients. The delay in the grant being
executed, as well as the grant period changes, resulted in an error in the
contract dates. The amount of the contract remains the same. The training funds

period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018, in an amount not to exceed
$175,000, for the provision of short
term residential services designed to support opioid treatment programs.
SUMMARY: These
contracts represent two types of services provided by the agency. The Drug
Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County, Inc. (DAF), with allocated Financially
Assisted Agencies (FAA) Program funding, will provide medical detox and
substance abuse crisis stabilization services for adolescents and adults who
exhibit symptoms of withdrawal from drug and alcohol abuse. On July 11, 2017,
the Board of County Commissioners approved funding allocations for the FAA
Program. Subsequently, Gratitude House, Inc. announced the closure of its
substance abuse treatment programs for clients due to licensing issues. This
had a direct impact on two programs funded under the County’s FAA program. As a
result of this action, staff terminated the contract with Gratitude House, Inc.
and negotiated with DAF to reallocate $55,907, which was initially allocated to
Gratitude House, Inc., dedicated to pregnant and post-partum clients. This
contract will assist in filling the gap created by the closure of the Gratitude
House, Inc. The contract being recommended reflects dollar amounts included in
the FY 2018 budget. This contract represents $1,313,594, inclusive of the
Gratitude House Inc. allocation, of the total FAA funding allocation of
$12,496,186. The second contract will allow DAF to address the opioid crisis in
Palm Beach County. These funds will be used for the Suboxone Induction Center
(SIC), which is a Level 1 short term residential program designed to support opioid
treatment programs that have a Suboxone maintenance component attached. DAF
will perform a variety of critical assessments, including opioid, clinical,
medical, lab, and mental status assessments. The length of stay varies
depending on the client’s unique medical needs. Alton Taylor, employee of the
Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County, Inc., is a member of the Public

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: “Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (At FDOT Expense)” (UWHCA) with Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT). SUMMARY: FDOT is proposing road improvements to State Road 91 (Florida Turnpike) from Lantana Toll Plaza to SR 802 (Lake Worth Road). The road improvements will necessitate the relocation of a County owned and operated 18-inch Water Main at Hypoluxo Road, as well as a 12-inch Force Main and 12-inch Water Main at Lantana Road across the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) E-2W Canal located on the west side of the Turnpike. In order to include the utility work within the FDOT road improvement project and to provide FDOT the authorization to undertake the relocation of the afore-mentioned facilities, FDOT requires the County to enter into the UWHCA. Due to the location of the existing infrastructure, FDOT will be undertaking the work at no cost to the County. The relocation plan will be prepared by FDOT’s consultant and construction will be performed by FDOT’s contractor. This UWHCA requires approval by the Board of County Commissioners due to several amendments to the standard UWHCA form requested by FDOT. (WUD Project No.17-076) District 2, 3, 5 & 6 (MJ)

existing building was constructed within the existing Utility Easement. The
release of this small portion of the existing easement will not have any
adverse consequences and it was determined to be a better alternative than
relocating the existing water main or the building. The release will reduce the width of the

D) approve Employee wellness participation cash incentives in the
amount of $25 for completion of the online Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and $25
for participation in an onsite biometric screening.
SUMMARY: Having completed the
Board-approved one year extension of the Administrative Services Only (ASO)
Agreement (R2011-1667) for expiring plan year 2017, staff issued an RFP for
health plan administrative services, including stop loss insurance, for the
County’s self-funded health insurance plans on behalf of the employees of the
Board, Supervisor of Elections, and Palm Tran, Inc. (collectively participating
in the plan through the provisions of the Interlocal Agreement R2002- 2287).
The selection committee chose CHLIC over threecompeting proposals on the basis
that CHLIC offered the lowest overall pricing and a firm stop-loss quote. The
proposal included a three months ASO fee waiver, estimated to total $469,390 at
current enrollment. The new contract will include the services of one
additional on-site customer service representative, fully funded by CHLIC as
well as an increase in the wellness allowance from $75,000 to $100,000 per
year. In addition, CHLIC included an option that would allow access to its
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) network for an amount not to exceed $95,000,
should the County wish to exercise this option at a future date. The stop-loss
insurance premium will remain at current year (2017) rates for plan year 2018.
The total projected claims and administrative expense for plan year 2018 is
$69,631,495. The total cost of the plan represents a decrease of $1,095,446
over the actuary’s projected cost of the expiring plan year. Although the plan
has been performing at a stable level, staff is recommending a 3% increase to
maintain a margin for the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) safe harbor
surplus threshold. This increase has been contemplated in the 2018 budget, and
is necessary to secure the financial stability of the fund. Sufficient funds
have been budgeted to fund the program. Countywide (HH)

CC. SHERIFF
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: budget transfer of $30,000 from the Law Enforcement

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 $1,166,220. The

B. PUBLIC SAFETY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Ordinance
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing
Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 13, Article II, (Ordinance No. 2006-040 as
amended by Ordinance No. 2010-056) and adopting a new Palm Beach County
Ordinance for Emergency Medical Services; providing for title; providing for
authority and purpose; providing for definitions; providing for territorial
applicability; providing for COPCN and endorsements required; providing for
exclusions from COPCN and/or permit requirement; providing for application for
COPCN; providing for review and assessment of application; providing for Board
approval required for a COPCN; providing for rights and duties granted by
COPCN; providing for vehicle permits; providing for assignability of COPCN;
providing for provision of patient outcome data; providing for rules and
regulations; providing for emergency powers; providing for complaint
procedures; providing for general prohibition; providing for enforcement;
providing for civil infraction processing; providing for COPCN revocation,
modification, and suspension; providing for appeal; providing for repeal of
laws in conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing severability; providing
inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing captions; and providing
for an effective date. This proposed
amendment to the Emergency Medical Services Ordinance was presented to the
League of Cities on July 26, 2017, and was unanimously approved. Summary: On September 26, 2017, the Board of
County Commissioners approved a preliminary reading and advertise for public
hearing. The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Ordinance establishes standards
for issuing certificates of public convenience and necessity (COPCNs) for
advanced life support transportation and services and by providing for the
adoption of rules and regulations governing the areas, and operation of service
in unincorporated and incorporated Palm Beach County. During an EMS Council
meeting on September 17, 2015, a subcommittee was established to review and
make recommendations to the Ordinance, since its last significant update was in
2010. The major revisions to the Ordinance were broken into four different
categories: 1) various sections of the ordinance were clarified, reorganized,
and terms were simplified to improve readability and comprehension; 2) the
COPCN application process was updated and simplified to include current
relevant information; 3) enforcement methods were expanded to include remedial
action plans for response time and vehicle non-compliance violations; and 4)
changes to Advance Life Support (ALS) Vehicle requirements were made. Due to the significant organizational
changes, this Ordinance will repeal and replace the prior ordinance. The basic
ordinance requirements have not changed: COPCNs are required to provide
Primary, Secondary, Air Ambulance and Special Secondary EMS services and ALS
Vehicles must be inspected and permitted. The EMS Council has reviewed and
approved the Ordinance revisions at the March 16, 2017 EMS Council meeting.

the Emergency Medical Services Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities

2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Ordinance of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 19, Article IX
(Ordinance No. 2008-43) as amended relating to vehicles for hire; amending
Section 19-213 (Definitions); amending Section 19-214 (Compliance with Article
required); amending Section 19-217 (Reciprocity); amending Section 19-219
(Records Required); amending Section 19-223 (Vehicle Safety and Appearance
Requirements); amending Section 19-226 (Commercial Automobile Liability
Insurance); amending Section 19-227 (Driver Requirements; Failure to Comply);
providing for repeal of Laws in Conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing
for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances;
providing for captions; and providing an effective date. Summary: CS/HB 221 passed by the Florida Legislature and approved by the Governor
on May 9, 2017, became effective on July 1, 2017. This legislation preempts Transportation
Network Company (TNC) regulation to the State.
To comply with this new law, the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance must be
revised to remove reference to TNCs. The Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA)
will continue existing regulation which enables vehicle for hire companies to
utilize: 1) vehicle trade dress or DCA issued decal; 2) alternative
identification (i.e. digital platform) or an ID badge to be issued by the DCA;
and 3) conduct their own comprehensive nationwide background checks through an
accredited agency or the DCA can conduct a Level 2 background check for any
driver. There will be a reduction of approximately $400,000 in annual fees paid
by TNCs. In addition, the current
ordinance requires automobile liability insurance in accordance with Florida
Law. In order to clarify existing requirements,
the ordinance was revised to include pre-existing minimum insurance limits of
$125,000/$250,000 for bodily injury and $50,000 for property damage. This is the minimum insurance amount the DCA recommends for
all vehicles for hire (including taxicabs and limousines) operating in the
County. This proposed amendment to the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance was
presented to the League of Cities on July 26, 2017, and was unanimously
approved. Countywide (LDC)

1. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: PowerPoint presentation entitled FD&O Capital Project Procurement and
Delivery, which summarizes the workshops held between Facilities
Development & Operations’ (FDO) and the design and construction industries
regarding the Infrastructure Sales Tax and General Government Capital
Program. SUMMARY: The purpose of this item is to update the

changes to contract language, County ordinances and state laws; 6) roll-out of
a procurement plan for FDO managed projects, and 7) identification of County
resources for design professionals and contractors. In addition to the quality interaction
between FDO and a wide variety of design professional, suppliers and
contractors, some new initiatives were identified in addition to some which
modify or enhance existing policies. The presentation concludes with a focus on
the initiatives currently being implemented by Staff or are being contemplated
for BCC direction in the future, as well as a general outlook of the years

recommends motion to approve: Agreement for Purchase and Sale to
acquire a 4.98 acre vacant parcel of land in unincorporated western Delray
Beach for $1,050,000 from Haim Tepper, Trustee of the Haim Tepper Revocable
Trust under Agreement dated October 30, 2015 and Mordechai Markowicz and Sarah
Markowicz, husband and wife, (Sellers) for development of a Fire Rescue
Station. SUMMARY: Fire Rescue has
identified a need to construct a Fire Station in the Southeastern area of the
Ag Reserve. Fire Rescue projects there
will be sufficient call volumes between existing and approved, but not yet
constructed development to support this new station. The subject site lies
approximately 1,600 feet east of the Lyons Road/Linton Boulevard intersection
and is currently being used as a plant nursery.
It is larger than required for development of the station, but there are
no smaller sites with good access available.
Fire Rescue can use the excess land for an equipment storage building,
or the site could be exchanged for a smaller site if the surrounding area is
subsequently developed. Staff obtained two appraisals indicating values of
$1,000,000 and $1,020,000 for an average of $1,010,000. The $1,050,000 purchase
price exceeds the average of the appraised values by $40,000 or 3.96%. The
Agreement contains a 45 day Inspection Period and the County has the right to
terminate if the inspections are unsatisfactory. Closing must occur within 10 days after
expiration of the Inspection Period. The Agreement allows the Sellers through
June 30, 2018 to remove any remaining plant inventory and personal property not
sold off prior to closing. This acquisition is being funded with $950,000 of
Fire Rescue Impact Fees which must be encumbered by the first quarter of FY 18,
with the balance funded from the Fire Rescue MSTU. This purchase requires approval by a
supermajority vote of the Board (5 commissioners). (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

SUMMARY: At the October 3, 2017, BCC meeting, staff was
directed to meet with representatives of the Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin
Islands relief collaboration known as Palm Beach County Cares to determine how
the County could assist with Hurricane Maria relief efforts targeting affected
residents of these islands. Staff is
recommending that logistical support be provided for relief supply collection
efforts on October 21, 2017 and October 28, 2017. Additionally, staff is preparing to assist
arrivals from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands with services by
establishing connections with State and Federal agencies, local relief
organizations, businesses resources, faith-based organizations and other
entities, and providing direct services as required. A Resource Guide to Assistance Support has
been prepared and will be available for distribution this week. Although Governor Scott has declared a State
of Emergency for Hurricane Maria for Florida there is no federal
declaration. Therefore, the County may
not be eligible for federal reimbursement of these expenses. Countywide
