SUMMARY: This Agreement provides a not to exceed amount of $100,000 to the

County through the Office of
Community Revitalization (OCR). In order to participate in the Bash, students must be referred
by one of the agencies of
the Bash collaborative, be registered prior to June 29, 2018 and given a personal invitation to the event.
All participating referral agencies, municipalities, community groups and/or religious
organizations are required

agreement with the Friends and pay a nominal fee for every student referral-registration. Last year's fee was $6.75 per student and the 2018 fee has not been set. The Bash has
been tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 28,
2018 prior to the start of the 2018/19 school year. In accordance with the Agreement, up to $50,000

motion to approve: Agreement with the
Village of Palm Springs for demolition services to eliminate blighted
conditions which pose a threat to public health and safety in the community. SUMMARY:
This Agreement establishes terms for the Village of Palm Springs’ participation
in the Department of Housing & Economic Sustainability’s (HES) demolition
program. HES utilizes Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to undertake the demolition of
structures which pose a threat to public health and safety or pose blighting
conditions in the community. When the
expenditure of Federal funds on the demolition of a property is $25,000 or
greater, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
regulations (24 CFR 570.505) apply. These regulations 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 for a period of three years thereafter. These are CDBG and
NSP Federal funds which require no local match. District 3 (JB)

B) Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 1 with Chen Moore and Associates, Inc., for a sub-project consisting of approximately four miles of reclaimed water transmission pipeline in the amount not to exceed $855,989.81.
SUMMARY: On April 5, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) approved an Interlocal Agreement with Broward County related to the construction, ownership, operation and
maintenance of a Regional Reclaimed Water System (Agreement) to deliver reclaimed
water from Broward County’s northern wastewater treatment plant to the Water
Utilities Department (WUD) service area (R2016-0470). The First Amendment to
the Agreement was approved by the BCC on August 15, 2017 (R2017-1052). On October 25, 2017, Chen Moore and Associates,
Inc., was selected through the CCNA process to provide WUD with professional
engineering services associated with the Project. The Project provides for the
first phase in the design of the infrastructure necessary to deliver reclaimed
water from Broward County’s northern wastewater treatment plant to the WUD
service area and focuses on the western portion of the transmission
infrastructure required to deliver reclaimed water to potential customers. The Project contains
approximately 9 miles of this transmission pipeline and will be designed in sub-phases to provide for
multiple competitively bid construction sub-projects. The term of the Contract
is for five years and the project budget for the engineering services and
construction (to be bid separately) is estimated to be between $18,000,000 and
$22,000,000. The Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance is 15%
overall. The Contract provides for SBE participation of 82.5%. (WUD Project No.

Subordination of Utility Interests to the State of Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT). SUMMARY: On
September 1, 2009, a utility easement was granted to the County for public
utility facilities associated with the development of the property identified
as Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League of the Palm Beaches. The utility easement was recorded in the
Official Records of Palm Beach County, ORB 23459, Page 842. The FDOT has an
interest in a portion of this utility easement that has been determined
necessary for highway purposes. The proposed use of these lands for highway
purposes will require subordination of the interest claimed in such lands by
the County to FDOT. FDOT is willing to pay to have the County’s facilities
relocated in the future if necessary. The Water Utilities Department has
determined that the subordination of utility interests will not affect any
existing public utility facilities and therefore recommends the subordination. District

the County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services,
Inc., under Contract No. 15-050/LJ, for a total cost not-to-exceed $10,193,006.
SUMMARY: The projected 2018-2019 excess insurance program renewal
premiums reflect a total not-to-exceed cost of $10,193,006, which is an 8.8%
increase over the expiring premium. The overall County program remains very
stable, however market rates are up substantially due to numerous natural
disasters recorded in the last 12 months. While the largest impact is on property
premiums, several other areas are also showing rate increases. The current
premium projection is a worst-case scenario and our broker will continue to
negotiate with excess carriers until the April 1st renewal. The
County’s total insurable property value currently stands at $2.55 billion. Our
coverage limits contemplate probable maximum loss modeling using various
scenarios and include a $1 million self-insured retention (SIR) with a 4%
windstorm deductible per insured location. The program also includes $5 million
of excess liability insurance and excess workers’ compensation insurance

of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending
Chapter 17, Article V of the Palm Beach County Code (Ordinance 1999-018,
amended by Ordinance No. 2008-059) concerning work identification cards for
individuals performing in adult entertainment establishments; amending Section
17-147(31) (definitions); amending section 17-153(a) (work identification
card required); amending Section 17-153(c)
(application for work identification card); amending Section 17-153(e) (fees);
amending Section 17-153(g) (retention of performer roster and work
identification card); amending Section 17-153(k) (requirement of managers,
owners and operators to verify work identification cards of performers);
amending Section 17-153(n) (violation subject to civil prosecution); providing for Section 17-153(o) (violations
subject to all legal remedies); providing for inclusion in the Code Enforcement
Citation Ordinance of Palm Beach County, Florida; 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 for an effective date.Summary:
Section 17-153 of the Adult Entertainment Ordinance requires performers in
adult entertainment establishments to apply for work identification (ID) cards
from the Public Safety Department and show proof that they are at least
eighteen years old. This proposed
amendment to the ordinance will establish a renewal period of two years for the
work ID card to protect the vulnerable children and young adults. The current work ID card is valid for a
lifetime. Additionally, each adult
entertainment establishment will be required to retain a complete performer
roster for a period of 30 days and a copy of the work ID for two years. Furthermore, the violation sections were
modified to include additional legal actions by the county for violations to
the Ordinance. Approximately 700
applications are processed annually. The
cost of the program is approximately $81,000 per year, which includes personnel
costs, identification card equipment and supplies, and other administrative
costs. The current ordinance provides
that fees for work identification cards be established by Board

to approve: Budget
amendments and transfers in various funds reflecting adjustments for balances
brought forward, other revenues, reserves and operating expenses. The
total of the adjustments is an increase of $96,724,116 in 175

necessary to adjust FY 2018 budgets to reflect differences between actual and
estimated revenues and expenditures of FY 2017. These amendments adjust the
balances brought forward, various revenue, expenditure, and reserve accounts to
their audited balances. The proposed adjustments include $23,548,367 additional

2. Staff request Board
direction: to create a new ad-valorem funded position in the Department of Housing & Economic
Sustainability to serve as the community housing liaison; at a pay grade
46. SUMMARY: This item is a
request for Board direction to create a new ad-valorem funded position in the
Department of Housing & Economic Sustainability. The request for the
position emanated from the 2017 PEACE Nehemiah Conference held at the Palm
Beach County Convention Center. Rather than presenting the request through the
upcoming budget process, staff is presenting it at this time at the behest of
District 7 Commissioner Mack Bernard. As
envisioned, the position would serve as the housing liaison for the County to
the public, community groups, business organizations, municipalities, housing
groups and quasi-governmental housing agencies. In addition, the position would
support the efforts of providing affordable, workforce and permanent supportive
and transitional housing throughout the County including performing some other
housing related duties and responsibilities.
In light of the federal and state funding constraints and as the
proposed functionality of the job entails working across the various housing
operations and programs, staff is recommending the position be funded from the
general fund budget. If the Board should
approve creation of the position, we will bring back a budget amendment to
transfer funds from general fund contingency into the Department of Housing
& Economic Sustainability budget for the remainder of this fiscal
year. Full funding for the position
would be included in the Department’s proposed budget for the 2018-2019 FY. Countywide

ZONING & BUILDING TIME CERTAIN:
2:15 P.M.
1. Staff recommends a
motion to:
A) adopt resolution denying the request to delegate to the
Village Council of the Village of Palm Springs the exercise of all powers and
responsibilities conferred on Palm Beach County by the Community Redevelopment
Act for the purpose of establishing and operating the Village of Palm Springs
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA); OR
If the Board chooses to deny motion (A),
the Board could consider motions (B)
and (C).
B) approve Interlocal Agreement between Palm Beach County and the
Village of Palm Springs; AND
C) adopt Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm
Beach County, Florida, delegating the exercise of powers conferred by Chapter
163, Part III, Florida Statutes, “The Community Redevelopment Act of 1969"
to the Village Council of the Village of Palm Springs, with the conditions
outlined in the Interlocal Agreement.
SUMMARY: The item before the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is
to consider the creation of a new CRA with two sub areas at the request of the
Village of Palm Springs within its municipal limits. The Congress Avenue sub area and the Lake Worth Road sub area are located within the central
portion of the County. Chapter 163, Part III, F.S. (The Community Redevelopment
Act of 1969), gives the BCC, as the governing body of a charter county, full
discretion to approve or deny a request to create a CRA within a
municipality. The Village is seeking a delegation of all powers and
responsibilities conferred in the Community Redevelopment Act including creation
of a Redevelopment Trust Fund that utilizes increases in property tax revenues
that would otherwise go to the County and other taxing authorities unless
exempt pursuant to the statute. Specifically, the Village is requesting the
County to find that the “blighted area” proposed for the CRA meets the criteria
contained in the Community Redevelopment Act; delegate authority to create a
CRA to the Village; allow the Village to adopt a Community Redevelopment Plan;
and authorize the establishment of a Redevelopment Trust Fund. The
Village concluded in the Finding of Necessity report that both of the sub-areas
met 5 of the 15 criteria factors present for blight in order to meet the
statutory requirements. In addition, the Village has projected a property value
growth of 2.5% per year and could result in a projected fiscal impact to the
County of approximately $12 million over a 30-year period, based on the
Village’s millage rate of 3.650. Considering the County’s average property
value growth increase over the past 20 years is 5.54%, a growth rate of 4% may
be more realistic and could result in a fiscal impact of $22 million over a
30-year period, based on the Village’s millage rate of 3.650. In Fiscal Year
2018, $38.6 million in property tax revenue was redirected from the County to
the 12 existing CRAs: 1 within unincorporated County and 11 within
municipalities.Due to the fiscal impact, the current Administration has
consistently supported denial of the creation of new CRAs and is recommending
the Board approval of motion (A).
However, the BCC as the governing body of a
charter county has full discretion to approve or deny the request. In
the event the BCC approves the request, County Administration and the Village
of Palm Springs have agreed on the terms and conditions for the creation of the
CRA. The Interlocal Agreement establishes that the County’s contribution is
exempt from future payments to the Redevelopment Trust Fund once a total
payment of tax increment reaches $28 million and that the County tax increment shall
be calculated using the Village millage rate if the County millage rate exceeds
the Village millage rate. The Resolution includes additional terms which exempt
the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) from
payment of tax increment funds to the CRA, establishes that the base property
values for calculating the tax increment are as of January 1, 2018 and limits
the duration of the delegated powers to not exceed 30 years with no extensions.
This would require Board approval of motions (B) and (C). Districts 2 & 3

year period at an annualized average wage of $92,124 and an annualized median
wage of $64,000. The estimated five year local economic impact is $248,264,729.
Project Knight qualifies for the Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund
program which continues to be funded by the Florida Legislature. The company is
being offered an incentive of at least $1,350,000. Of this amount, $560,000 is
from the State of Florida; $140,000 is a required match from local government
entities; and at least $650,000 is in the form of ad valorem tax
exemptions. Palm Beach County and the
City of Palm Beach Gardens will equally provide the local match in the form of
a cash grant. The cash grant will be
paid over a period of six years provided the project meets the State of Florida
requirements; paid according to the State’s QTI Tax Refund schedule; and
secured by a letter of credit or bond.
Palm Beach County will provide an ad valorem tax exemption not to exceed
$650,000 over a six year period provided the project meets the requirements
under s196.012, Florida Statutes, for an ad valorem tax exemption. The City will also provide an exemption over
a ten year period. The company will be
required to enter into a formal agreement memorializing their commitments and
establishing the terms under which the cash and ad valorem exemption incentives
will be disbursed. The company name will
be disclosed at such time. District 1 (JB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: eligible Opportunity Zones census tracts to be
approved by the Governor in Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: The Federal Tax
Cuts and Job Act (the ACT) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Included
in the ACT was legislation that created Opportunity Zones, a federal tax
incentive designed to subsidize private investment in distressed areas
designated by the Governor. Eligible areas closely mirror census tracts as
identified in U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants and New
Markets Tax Credit program. The incentive provides investors an up to nine-year
deferral of capital gain reductions for investments located in an Opportunity
Zone. Eligible investments under the ACT include commercial businesses and
affordable housing rental developments. The ACT states that up to twenty-five
percent (25%) of each State’s qualified census tracts will be eligible to
receive this designation. The Governor must identify the areas in the State to
the U.S Treasury by March 21, 2018. The U.S. Treasury Department will then
establish the final guidelines for the Opportunity Zones. Staff has identified
approximately twenty-eight percent (28%) twenty nine percent (29%)
of the County’s eligible census tracts for consideration to be presented to the
Governor. These census tracts were selected from eligible Opportunity Zones designated
in Palm Beach County and based on areas identified for potential economic
development and for mixed-income or affordable rental housing developments. This is a Federal Program requires no local
match. Countywide

B) direct staff to not exceed thirteen percent (13%)
in administrative costs to administer the Workforce Housing Program; and
C) authorize County Administrator, or designee, to execute
any necessary document to implement the Workforce Housing Program Down Payment
Assistance Strategy.
SUMMARY: At the
February 27, 2018, Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Workshop, staff
presented the Workforce Housing Program (WHP) Down Payment Assistance
Strategy. Staff was authorized to
finalize the strategy and present it at an upcoming BCC meeting. Palm Beach
County’s WHP was established in 2006 (Ord2006-055) to encourage the development
of workforce housing units for households in low, moderate and middle-income
groups. The program offers an in-lieu payment option whereby a developer that
chooses to opt out of constructing workforce housing units can make a payment
for each for-sale or rental unit. In-lieu payments are deposited in the
Workforce Housing Trust Fund created to benefit households with incomes ranging
from 60% to 140% of area median income. Currently, the Trust Fund has a balance
of approximately $3 Million generated from in-lieu payments from 38 for-sale
units at $81,500. Staff is proposing to use a portion of the funds for down
payment assistance to eligible homebuyers using a tiered maximum subsidy
detailed in Attachment 1 to this agenda item. Under the WHP, for-sale units are
required to have a 15-year affordability period. If down payment assistance is
provided, it will be secured by a 15-year mortgage. Currently, 121 workforce
housing units are available for sale in the County. Due to the availability of
these units and applicants that have expressed interest in purchasing workforce
housing, staff is bringing forward the Down Payment Assistance Strategy. Countywide

direction: regarding continuation of reentry services for ex-offenders
under the Department of Public Safety and first-year funds for the Criminal
Justice Commission’s (CJC) new Frequent User’s System Engagement (FUSE) Project
without the release of annual Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
(JAG) program funds from the U.S.
Department of Justice and Florida Department of Law Enforcement for the grant
period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 in the amount of $393,550 for
reentry services and $100,000 for the FUSE Project. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County receives two sources of Edward Byrne Memorial
Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program
funds, one comes directly from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the
second is a pass-through from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
These grants were budgeted in FY18 to support the Department of Public Safety’s
Adult and Juvenile Reentry Programs in the amount of $393,550 and the Criminal
Justice Commission’s (CJC) new Frequent Users Systems Engagement (FUSE) Project
in the amount of $100,000. On July 25, 2017, Attorney General Sessions
announced immigration compliance requirements for the JAG Programs that “will
increase information sharing between federal, state and local law enforcement,
ensuring that federal immigration authorities have the information they need to
enforce immigration laws and keep our communities safe”. Palm Beach County submitted a grant
application, including a signed certificate of compliance with the new
immigration rules on August 30, 2017 to DOJ. FDLE also made application for the
state’s share of JAG funds that FDLE allocates to counties and cities. As of
this date, all JAG funds have been put on hold by DOJ pending every state
signing the new requirement that they comply with the immigration rules as
announced by the Attorney General in July. No funds have been released to any
jurisdiction in the nation by DOJ. The
$393,550 for the Reentry Programs was budgeted to fund two positions and juvenile
and adult reentry services for ex-offenders leaving state prison and the county
jail. Without the support of grant funds for the reentry program, the program
will cease to exist. The $100,000 for
the FUSE Project was budgeted to fund services and housing for homeless persons
frequently booked in the county jail. Without the support of grant funds for
the FUSE Program, the targeted population of the 108 people who were admitted
to the county jail three or more times in 2017 who also accessed homeless services
in the county, will be reduced by 26% to approximately 80 people. No County matching funds are required for
this grant. Countywide

motion to authorize: staff to evaluate the potential of forming a
cooperative partnership with the YMCA of the Palm Beaches to relocate the
existing YMCA Branch in Palm Springs to undeveloped land within Lake Lytal
Park. SUMMARY: On December 7,
2017, the YMCA of the Palm Beaches (YMCAPB), submitted a proposal to Parks and
Recreation regarding the possibility of relocating their existing YMCA Branch
from Congress Avenue in the Village of Palm Springs to undeveloped land in Lake
Lytal Park. The YMCAPB is planning a major facility expansion at their existing
location to include an aquatic center, large health and fitness facility, teen
center, sports fields, and an Olympic style skate park. Parks and Recreation is
about to commence design of a new aquatic center on the undeveloped land at
Lake Lytal Park with funds allocated through the approved Infrastructure Sales
Tax. In an effort to eliminate duplicate
facilities and expand programs and services for all ages within this densely
populated service area, the YMCAPB has proposed relocating the YMCA expansion
from Congress Avenue to the undeveloped portion of Lake Lytal Park. Cooperative
partnerships such as this have been successfully implemented in Miami-Dade and
Broward Counties, the City of Tampa and elsewhere around the country. Facilitating a cooperative arrangement at
Lake Lytal Park would require the County to allocate approximately five acres
of park property to the YMCAPB and enter into a long term lease (50+ years) for
development, operation and maintenance of the new facilities and
improvements. Because the YMCA is the
nation’s largest provider of aquatic training and drowning prevention, the
YMCAPB is prepared to also enter into a management agreement to oversee the
County’s new Aquatic Facility, thereby reducing ad valorem expenses. The
potential of a collaborative partnership with the YMCAPB is a distinctive and
timely opportunity that potentially could offer the residents of Central Palm
Beach County some exceptional facilities and services. For this reason, staff supports the motion to
authorize us to evaluate the potential of establishing a cooperative
partnership with the YMCAPB to co-locate facilities at Lake Lytal Park. District 2 (AH)

motion to adopt: resolution: 1) authorizing the
acceptance of a donation of goods and services, with conditions, from the
Orange Bowl Committee (OBC) for the Orange Bowl Legacy Gift at Glades Pioneer
Park; 2) finding that an emergency exists and it is in the public’s best
interest to waive Consultant’s Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA) selection
requirements and competitive bidding requirements; and 3) authorizing the County Administrator or her
designee(s) to negotiate a Project Agreement with the Orange Bowl Committee for
the design and construction of park improvements at Glades Pioneer Park. SUMMARY: On a semi-annual basis, the Orange Bowl
Committee collaborates with a local governmental agency on a Legacy Gift
Project to make significant improvements and upgrades to an existing park. Previous Orange Bowl Committee projects have
been accomplished in parks within Miami-Dade and Broward counties. This year,
the Committee has selected Palm Beach County’s Glades Pioneer Park in Belle
Glade as their project location. The Orange Bowl Committee has offered to design,
permit and construct a project that will include a synthetic athletic field, an
electronic scoreboard, goals, entry monument and related Orange Bowl amenities
as specifically proposed in the draft Project Agreement. The project serves a
public purpose in that it will beautify the area, improve community activity
and create an asset for the people of Palm Beach County, particularly those
residing in the Glades Region. The Project Agreement proposed by the Orange
Bowl Committee requires that the Orange Bowl Committee select and contract with
the necessary design professionals and construction firm for the project and
this will negate the County’s ability to include terms that require compliance
with the Local and SBE preference policies. Since the OBC funding source would
be lost as a result of the time it would require to comply with the competitive
bidding requirements and it is the County’s best interest to proceed, the
conditions exist for an emergency procurement pursuant to the Purchasing
Ordinance, and other applicable State required selection processes such as
CCNA. The draft Project Agreement requires that the County provide 50% matching
funds in an amount not to exceed $1.5 million. On April 10, 2018, when the
final Project Agreement is submitted to the BCC for approval, Staff will
recommend a budget amendment and transfer from the general fund contingency
reserves and/or capital project reserves to fund the County’s match. Countywide/District 6 (LDC)

board direction recommends motion to approve: regarding the atypical development costs associated with the
proposed acquisition of a 5.09 acre vacant parcel of land in unincorporated
western Delray Beach for the development of a Fire Rescue Station. SUMMARY:
On November 7, 2017 (R2017-1708), the Board approved an Agreement for Purchase
and Sale to acquire a 5.09 acre parcel of land in unincorporated western Delray
Beach to satisfy the need to construct a Fire Station in the southeastern area
of the Ag Reserve. 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. The Phase 2 Environmental Study of the property indicated the presence
of agrochemicals in the soil which are below the Commercial/Industrial Direct
Contact target clean-up levels, but higher than the Residential Direct Contact
target clean-up level. While the Station would be classified as a commercial
use, Staff believes it appropriate to be very conservative and reduce the
presence of agrochemicals to the residential target level. The cost to
remove soils on the portion of the property to be developed for the Station is
estimated to between $900,000-$1,200,000. This is approximately
$500,000-$700,000 more than has been spent on other fire stations for the
removal of unsuitable soils such as muck. Despite the additional cost
resulting from the County’s voluntary mitigation to residential target levels, Staff
believes it appropriate to move forward at this time: 1) as all of the
properties in Fire Rescue’s search area appear to have historically been used
in agricultural production and are likely to have similar levels of
agrochemicals; 2) call volumes support
the construction of the station in advance of anticipated new development which
could provide a civic site; 3) due to the potential to sell approximately 2.5
acres of the property to a residential developer, thereby recovering a portion
of the remediation costs; and 4) due to the possibility that the County could
exchange the entire property with a developer for a civic site that has already
been mitigated to residential standards thus eliminating the cost. The Study
also identified groundwater contamination which will require that the County
use potable water for landscape irrigation, which usage will be minimized through the implementation of xeriscaping so
the additional operating cost is not material. Fire Rescue does not want to
risk waiting for a civic site dedication in that projected call volumes in the
service area may require the station prior to a potential civic site dedication
becoming available. As such, Staff is recommending that the BCC approve
proceeding to close per the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with a
$10,000 reduction in price approved by the Seller. (PREM) District 5

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt resolution
authorizing the conveyance of a .02-acre parcel of property to the Town of Palm
Beach without charge pursuant to Florida Statute 197.592(3); and
B) approve
County Deed conveying the .02 acre parcel to the Town of Palm Beach.
SUMMARY: In 1945, this .02-acre parcel on the east side of North Ocean Boulevard
in Palm Beach was dedicated on the plat
of Ocean Terrace to all homeowners within the platted subdivision for access to
the ocean and beach recreation. Some of
the owners within the subdivision also received easements to use this parcel in
the deeds to their properties. After the developer of the Ocean Terrace
subdivision completed development of the subdivision, the developer stopped
paying taxes. A tax deed was issued to the County in 1971. Tax foreclosure does
not extinguish dedications by plat nor previously granted easement rights. Therefore, the County does not have clear
title to sell this property. Over the years, homeowners within the subdivision
have made several unsuccessful attempts to acquire this property, including a
legal action which was dismissed. As
there is no practical ability for the public to use this property or for the
County to sell it, the County has not maintained it. Recently the Town of Palm Beach requested
that the County convey this property to the Town to assist with the Town’s
coastal management program. This will
provide the Town access to the beach for beach re-nourishment construction
staging, and will also allow the Town to remove a decorative wall and concrete
patio installed by owners within the subdivision which are badly in need of
repair and encroach upon the Town’s right-of-way. F.S. 197.592(3) requires that
lands acquired by the County for delinquent taxes be conveyed to the
municipality in which such lands are located.
The Statute does not require an appraisal, and the assessed value is
$47,000. Conveying this property to the
Town will: 1) allow the town to both use the property for its coastal
management program; 2) relieve the County of liability and maintenance
responsibility; and 3) transfer responsibility to the Town to address questions
regarding the rights of the homeowners within the subdivision to use this property.

motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on
April 10, 2018 at 9:30 am: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, to be entitled “The Palm Beach County Criminal History Records Check
Ordinance;” repealing and replacing sections 2-371 – 2-390 of the Palm Beach
County Code which codified Ordinance no. 2003-030, as amended; providing for
authority; providing for definitions; providing for the identification of
facilities, contractor and employee positions; providing for criminal history
records checks for contractor access to critical facilities; providing for
criminal history records checks for engagement as a vulnerable population
contractor; providing for criminal history records checks for contractor access
to CJI facilities; providing for alternative compliance; providing for criminal
history records checks for county employees - general policy; providing for
criminal history records checks for employees - employment positions deemed
critical to security and public safety; providing for criminal history records
checks for employees - CJI requirement positions; providing for criminal
history records checks for employees - CJI access positions; providing for
enforcement; 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:
Florida Statutes currently require other
government and non-governmental entities have Level 2 CHRCs conducted on
employees that have direct contact with “vulnerable populations” (i.e.:
children, seniors and/or the developmentally disabled). Fla Statute Chapter 125 authorizes Counties
to require by Ordinance, Level 2 background checks of employees for positions
that are deemed critical to security or public safety. Staff is recommending
the County authorize Level 2 CHRCs on county positions deemed critical to
public safety or security, consistent with the aforementioned statutes, in
order to implement similar safeguards for County operated programs. Level 2
CHRC for Contractors with access to vulnerable populations. In addition, the Ordinance provides for CHRCs
for CJI Requirement Positions and CJI Access positions. A CJI Requirement Position requires the
employee utilize and access highly sensitive criminal justice information (CJI)
and databases as an integral job function. A CJI Access Position is a position
that will require unescorted access to criminal justice information based on
job location or duties. The Ordinance also: 1) sets forth the list of
disqualifying offenses for CJI Requirement Positions and all other Employee
positions Deemed Critical to Security or Public Safety; 2) grants authority to
the Human Resources Department to determine which positions are critical to
security or public safety. Consistent with BCC policy, prior offense
information is not requested on County employment applications and CHRC will
only be conducted after eligibility and a selection is made. Human Resources will make final employment
eligibility determinations in consultation with the County Attorney’s
office. The only substantive change
relative to Contractors (which include volunteers and unpaid interns) is to
authorize Level 2 CHRCs on Contractors with direct contact on vulnerable
populations using the statutory list of disqualifying offenses. Other changes include reducing the types of
alternate compliance, which better align with the practical realities of
constraints on information sharing, and to recognize changing re-run
requirements for those that are subject to Federal Criminal Justice Information
(CJI) requirements. The Ordinance also broadens the conduct of Level 2 CHRCs on
Contractors and Employees requiring access to facilities containing CJI to
include the State Attorney’s Office, in addition to the Palm Beach County
Sheriff’s Office. If the Ordinance is advanced to Public Hearing, FDO will be
including, as a companion item, a mid-year request for one full time Access
Tech position within Electronic Services and Security Division of FDO. This request remains among the highest
priority for FDO in FY 19 due to growth in the existing program since 2005 and
existing workload but is being requested early now to allow for smooth
implementation of the Security and Public Safety position and Vulnerable
Population contractors without having adverse impacts on the existing programs.
