Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc.

 

SUMMARY:  On November 18, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Third Amendment to Interlocal Agreement (R2014-1650) creating the Palm Beach Workforce Development Consortium (R2007-1220) which establishes the current Board composition. The Agreement states that 14 private sector members are appointed by the BCC. The Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act requests that an emphasis be placed on Chief Executive Officers or high level management positions for both community and business sector appointments. The CareerSource Palm Beach County, Inc. Board of Directors is comprised of a minimum of 19 members with representation established in Attachment 3 to this agenda item.  The board has a maximum of 33 seats, with 22 currently filled and diversity count of Caucasian: 17 (77%), African-American: 4 (18%) and Hispanic: 1 (5%). The gender ratio (female:male) is: 11:11.  This nominee is a Caucasian male. Countywide (HH)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Second Amendment to the Contract to Administer Grant Funds with CareerSource Palm Beach County, Inc. (CSPBC). SUMMARY:  On December 16, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a Contract to Administer Grant Funds (R2014-1894) with CSPBC which services include the design, coordination, and implementation of the local workforce development system for Palm Beach County. On April 19, 2016, the BCC approved the First Amendment to the Contract to Administer Grant Funds (R2016-0532) with CSPBC to conform to standard contract language utilized by the County.  CSPBC receives Federal funding through the State Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). Funds are received by the DEO from the US Department of Labor, US Department of Health & Human Services, and the US Department of Agriculture. These are formula funds which are based on the Federal budget and the local population statistics. The Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget, in the amount of $14,489,148, includes the following revenue sources: $11,670,260 from the US Department of Labor; $2,198,888 from the US Department of Health and Human Services for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; $320,000 from the US Department of Agriculture for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; and $300,000 from private grants and local government.  At the June 5, 2018 BCC meeting, the BCC approved the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 CSPBC Budget, in the amount of $14,489,148. CSPBC is requesting a Second Amendment to the Contract to Administer Grant Funds. The amendment makes certain changes to language of the contract to update contact information and bring the contract terms current with County requirements and Federal Regulations.  Staff is recommending approval of the Second Amendment to the Contract to Administer Grant Funds.

SUMMARY: The Agreement provides for the resolution of a dispute with MSP related to repairs made to a portion of the drainage system at the Airport Center complex (Drainage System 1) shared by the Hilton Palm Beach Airport (Hilton) and County-owned buildings. In December 2014 MSP, the owner of the Hilton, was notified that portions of the shared drainage system required repair pursuant to the Lease Agreement (R92-471(D), as amended) with the County. County staff and MSP were unable to reach agreement on the final scope of work for the repairs or allocation of costs. On March 21, 2016, MSP was notified that it would be in default of the Lease Agreement unless MSP completed the repairs to Drainage System 1 and that, if MSP failed to complete the repairs, the County would proceed with repairs and seek reimbursement from MSP for its share of the costs, which was estimated to be $248,000. MSP subsequently requested an Estoppel Certificate from the County in order to obtain financing from Wells Fargo; however, MSP was unable to obtain the financing due to the outstanding default notice.

11.       Staff recommends motion to approve:  Second Amendment to Access Easement in favor of Sannlor Properties II, LLC (Sannlor). SUMMARY:  Morikami Park (Park) is located on Jog Road in western Delray Beach between Linton Boulevard and Clint Moore Road.  On June 20, 1995, the Board approved a Use and Management Agreement (Agreement) (R95-8240) with the American Orchid Society, Inc. (AOS) whereby the orderly development of the Park and the adjacent AOS property would occur in the best interest of both parties.  The Agreement required the County to grant AOS easements for access, storm water drainage and signage over Park property. The Board approved an Access Easement (R2011-1786) with AOS and has since approved a First Amendment to Access Easement (R2014-1455) in favor of Sannlor Properties II, LLC (Sannlor). Sannlor is the successor in interest to the AOS property and has redeveloped the site as a day care and private school for autistic children.  The First Amendment to Access Easement modified the legal description to add security fencing, a card reader gate and a vehicle turn around area for the new school.  This Second Amendment to Access Easement will modify the legal description to include a portion of the security fencing left out of the First Amendment and will also include a grassy area east of the access driveway which Sannlor is currently maintaining.  The Second Amendment to Access Easement is being granted at no charge since it is consistent with the original intent of the Agreement. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

SUMMARY:  Amendment No. 4 authorizes the repair and renovation of Fire Station 19 which was damaged by water intrusion associated with a vehicle accident with the station’s backflow device last year requiring the demolition and reconstruction of the interior north side of the building and replacing the destroyed items that were located within that area of the station. Amendment No. 4 also includes the renovation of the remainder of the station to update the layout to comply with new standards for the separation of the bunker gear from the apparatus bay, single occupancy dorms and restrooms as well as several other renewal/replacement projects.  Amendment No. 4 establishes a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $1,365,630 and 218 days for completion.  The GMP includes the cost of the work, the construction manager’s fee and contractor contingency.  Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance is 15%.  Trillium Construction Inc.’s SBE participation for this Amendment is 37%. Trillium Construction Inc. is a Palm Beach County business and is using local subcontractors for 91% of the work.  This item is being presented to the Board for approval as the amount of the GMP exceeds the $1,290,000 the staff authorization level approved previously by the Board. Funding for this work is from the Fire Rescue MSTU Contingency and will be partially offset by an insurance claim. (Capital Improvements Division) District 1 (LDC)

A) Amendment 001 to an Agreement (R2017-1810) with Community Land Trust of Palm Beach County, Inc. (CLT), to revise the number of affordable homes and to reallocate the awarded HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program funds; and

 

B) Partial Release of Mortgage and Security Agreement to remove the encumbrance from two home sites no longer in the project.

 

SUMMARY: On October 17, 2017, the County entered into an Agreement (R2017-1810) with the CLT to provide $749,767 in HOME Program funds which included $95,000 in operating funds and $654,767 in set-aside funds for the construction of eight affordable homes on scattered sites in Palm Springs.  These funds were awarded by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on July 11, 2017 (Agenda Item 5D-1) pursuant to a Request for Proposals DES.2017.1 (RFP) advertised by the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability which made $158,984 in operating funds and $1,186,954 in set-aside funds available.  The CLT’s RFP proposal was for eight homes and requested the award of $95,000 in operating funds and $800,000 in set-side funds.  After the award of $532,187 to the first ranking proposal, only $654,767 in set-aside funds remained available for award to the CLT. The CLT has indicated that at the level of funding now available through the Agreement, it is unable to construct all eight homes and is requesting the reduction of the number of homes to six.  Staff concurs with the CLT that the available funds are at a level commensurate with the construction of six homes and recommends approval of Amendment 001 to the Agreement which reduces the number of homes to be built and reallocates the already awarded funds between the remaining homes. At the closing for the funding conducted on October 31, 2017, the CLT executed a Mortgage and Security Agreement (Mortgage) which secured the funding made available through the Agreement.  The Mortgage encumbered eight home sites.  With the approval of Amendment 001 to the Agreement and the reduction of the number of homes from eight to six, approval of the Partial Release of Mortgage and Security Agreement will remove the encumbrance of the Mortgage from two home sites no longer in the project. These are Federal HOME Program grant funds which require a 25% local match provided by State SHIP funds. District 3 (JB)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Subordination Agreement with NEF Preservation Mortgage Loan Fund I LP, and Lakeside Commons, Ltd., for an amount not to exceed $8,900,000. SUMMARY: On August 19, 2003, the County entered into a Loan Agreement (R2003-1215) with Lakeside Commons, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, which provided, $231,313 in State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) funds to assist in the construction of Lakeside Commons Apartments, a 99 rental unit complex to serve very low and low income households.  The project is located at 550 Executive Center Drive in West Palm Beach.  The County secured this three percent (3%) cash flow dependent loan with a second mortgage for a term of 30 years.  Lakeside Commons, Ltd., wishes to refinance the existing first mortgage and proposes to encumber the property with a new first mortgage from NEF Preservation Mortgage Loan Fund I LP, a Delaware limited partnership, in the amount of $8,900,000.  Staff recommends approval of this subordination subject to the receipt of $98,376.75 from Lakeside Commons, Ltd., which will bring the loan payments up to date as of April 30, 2018. These are SHIP grant funds which require no local match. District 7 (JB)

SUMMARY: F.S. 420.9076 requires that Palm Beach County establish the members of an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee as a condition of receiving State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program funding from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.  The County established the CAH in 1993 through adoption of the Affordable Housing Ordinance (No. 93-8).  The CAH functioned until 2011 when it became inactive due to resignations and subsequent difficulty recruiting members due to concerns regarding conflicts of interest.  On May 17, 2017, the Board adopted a new Affordable Housing Ordinance (No. 2017-017) that included changes to the responsibilities of the CAH that have alleviated prior conflict of interest concerns. In accordance with F.S. 420.9076 and the Palm Beach County Affordable Housing Ordinance (No. 2017-017), the CAH will function to review local affordable housing policies and incentive strategies, and to provide recommendations to the County regarding the same. F.S. 420.9076 calls for a minimum of eight and a maximum of 11 members representing various subjects related to affordable housing.  At this time, staff recommends the appointment of the above nine individuals. Vacant seats remaining include: a representative of essential services personnel and a representative who actively serves on the local planning agency pursuant to F.S. 163.3174. Ezra M. Krieg of Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc., and Corey W. O’Gorman of PLACE Planning and Design, Inc., and James T. Houston of Houston Realty have disclosed their employers’ existing contracts with the County.  Staff has evaluated these contractual relationships and determined that the CAH provides no regulation, oversight, management or policy-setting recommendations regarding any of the disclosed contractual relationships. Disclosure of these contractual relationships at a duly noticed public meeting is being provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 2-443 of the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics. A diversity count of the nine representatives recommended for appointment by the BCC demonstrates a racial/ethnic breakdown as follows: Caucasian: 5 (56%); African-American: 3 (33%); and Hispanic-American: 1 (11%).  The gender ratio (female:male) is 2:7.

3.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve Interlocal Agreement between Palm Beach County (County) and the City of Lake Worth (City) relating to Assessment of Joint Wastewater Transmission System (Agreement); and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute an Assessment Initiation Form, which is attached to the Agreement as Exhibit “B”, for future Joint Wastewater Transmission System assessment and improvement projects subject to the Agreement.

 

SUMMARY: The County and the City previously entered into an agreement (R2001-0315) to jointly construct, operate and maintain a 14-mile Joint Wastewater Transmission System (System) from the City’s master pump station to the East Central Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility, as well as an agreement to provide for a one-time assessment of the System (R2005-2421). The Water Utilities Department (WUD) and the City have determined that an evaluation of the condition of the System is again necessary, which requires the execution of a new Agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, WUD will hire a Consulting Engineer to evaluate the condition of the transmission pipeline and associated pump stations, recommend remedial actions and estimate the cost of such remedial actions.  The County and the City will cost-share the engineering costs for the assessment per the percentage allocations established in Section 3 of the Agreement. The Agreement additionally allows for ongoing assessments of the System to be initiated without further approval by the Board of County Commissioners in accordance with the delegation to the County Administrator or designee set forth above.

4.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Supplement No. 2 with Globaltech, Inc., for the East Central Regional Water Reclamation Facility Reclaimed Water Facility Improvements Project (R2017-0078) in the amount of $253,966.78 with a 166 day time extension to the substantial completion date and a 107 day time extension to the final completion date. SUMMARY: On March 10, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the contract for the Optimization and Improvements Design-Build (Project) (R2015-0315) with Globaltech, Inc. The current contract amount is $1,385,104.84.  Supplement No. 2 provides for the replacement of two existing propeller mixers, a 12-inch butterfly valve (BFV), and a new communications panel, with an increase in cost of $253,966.78. Supplement No. 2 will additionally extend the substantial completion date of the Project by 166 days and eliminate the 60-day period between substantial and final completion that was provided for in the original contract. This results in the need to only extend the final completion date by 107 days to allow for final completion to occur the day after substantial completion. The mixer replacement within the Flash Mix Basin will improve the coagulation/flocculation process prior to the deep bed filters enhancing the removal of phosphorous and suspended solids in the reclaimed water. The 12-inch BFV will allow for future connection to the High Service Pump Station for process piping and the new communications panel will better integrate the reclaimed water delivery system. The contract provides for SBE participation of 75%. Supplement No. 2 provides 100% SBE participation. The cumulative SBE participation including Supplement No. 2 is 95.61%. Globaltech, Inc., maintains an office in Boca Raton from which the majority of the work will be undertaken.  This Project is included in the Water Utilities Department (WUD) FY 18 Budget.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  the write-off of uncollectible emergency transport patient accounts to remove these amounts from the County’s general ledger for the following period:

 

October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014 (FY 2014)  $11,980,325.53

 

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, 2013 to September 30, 2014, Fire Rescue generated $42,721,650.35 in gross transport billings and collected (to-date) $20,916,947.89. After adjustments of $9,824,376.93, required under the guidelines of the Medicare/Medicaid programs, the balance of $11,980,325.53 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 general ledger. Countywide (SB)

6.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement (SMAA) with the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) for a period of one year from date of execution with automatic renewal each year. Summary:  The SMAA is promulgated by the State of Florida and sets forth the standard protocols to be used in the request, utilization, and reimbursement process associated with requests for mutual aid resources. The State has issued an update to the SMAA and has requested all signatories execute the updated agreement. The 2018 update includes the SMAA to be used for smaller events; no declaration of a state of emergency is needed for the agreement to be activated.

   1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County (BCC), Florida, authorizing the execution and submittal of a grant application, standard assurances and grant agreement with the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD), in the amount of $4,271,633 for the Trip & Equipment Grant Program (CSFA 55.001) to provide Palm Tran Connection Service (Connection) trips and discounted daily and monthly fixed route passes.  This is a unit cost agreement and has an anticipated start date of July 1, 2018 and anticipated end date of June 30, 2019.  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. These funds help them 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.  Palm Tran Connection and Palm Tran Fixed Route provide these services.  It is estimated over 2,500 County residents will utilize this program by taking over 11,300 trips monthly on Connection. 2,700 County residents will utilize this program on fixed route service using monthly passes.  For FY2018-19, the County has been awarded $3,844,470, which requires a local match of 10% or $427,163 for a total grant agreement of $4,271,633.  The total anticipated cost to provide TD Service is $5,922,395, which requires the County to overmatch $1,650,761 in order to maintain the program at its current level. A budget amendment will be included when the fully executed agreement is brought to the BCC as a receive and file item. Countywide (DR)

SUMMARY:  Since 1999, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) has been the designated Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for Palm Beach County.  Palm Tran has assumed responsibilities for the implementation of the CTC designation.  On June 1, the State legislative staff directed the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) to have each community transportation coordinator pay the planning agency within its service area from the additional funds it received in the Trip and Equipment Grant.  This includes the Administrative Support Grant (TD Planning Grant), which normally is granted to the Palm Beach TPA directly.  The TPA serves as the designated official planning agency for CTD in Palm Beach County.  The TPA has received this annual allocation in the past to carry out specific planning activities.  The allocation for fiscal year 2018/19 for $49,789 does not require a match.  A budget amendment will be included when the fully executed agreement is brought to the BCC as a receive and file item.

A) resolution setting the special assessment rate to fund fire hydrant maintenance and rental fees charged to the County by the City of Riviera Beach or its Utility Special District in a certain unincorporated area within the County’s Fire-Rescue jurisdiction and the City’s water utility services area; and providing for sunset of this Resolution; and

 

B) resolution adopting the assessment roll for a special assessment to fund fire hydrant maintenance and rental fees charged to the County by the City of Riviera Beach or its Utility Special District in a certain unincorporated area within the County’s Fire-Rescue jurisdiction and the City’s water utility services area; and providing for sunset of this Resolution.

 

SUMMARY:  Pursuant to Section 26-110 of the Palm Beach County Code (codifying Ordinance No. 2018-010), these resolutions adopt the special assessment rate and assessment roll for the levy and collection of a special assessment in a certain unincorporated area that receives fire rescue services from the County and water utility services from the City of Riviera Beach or its Utility Special District (collectively the City). The properties included in the assessment roll receive the same special benefit from the hydrants as a part of the County’s fire protection services as do the properties that are specially assessed within the Municipal Service Benefit Unit for Fire Hydrant Maintenance and Rental - Riviera Beach (MSBU-Riviera Beach). Therefore, Palm Beach County Code Section 26‑110 requires that the special assessment amount be determined in the same manner as the special assessment amount that is levied in the MSBU-Riviera Beach. The special assessment rate is currently $52.86 per parcel. District 7 (SB)

SUMMARY:  Since the original development and adoption of Palm Beach County’s (County) program on December 3, 1985, the progress and evolution of current and near term projects have continued to be monitored. The  most recent update to the program was December 19, 2017. Traffic counts, costs and revenues have been updated. Revisions are being proposed to modify the program to reflect this updated information. The Findings of Fact for the delay of Linton Boulevard/Military Trail and PGA Boulevard/Military Trail Intersection Improvements require a majority plus one affirmative vote for approval.  On June 19, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners approved this amendment on preliminary reading and authorized advertisement for today’s Public Hearing for final adoption. A mid-year ordinance amendment with a preliminary reading and a public hearing is required in order to accomplish this. The approval to hire professionals will facilitate the property acquisitions necessary to accomplish the road goals of the program, as amended herein, for Fiscal Year 2018 through Fiscal Year 2022.

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 2018 tax bill. Countywide (DB)

However, no legal transfer authority (proviso language) was provided for the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to release the funding from the Local Housing Trust Fund to DCF. Therefore, there is no source of funding for Challenge Grants in the upcoming FY 2018-2019. On May 22, 2018, the Department of Community Services was notified that the State of Florida would be amending contract IP003 to remove the Challenge Grant funds in the amount of $158,500 effective July 1, 2018. As this contract was originally approved on November 21, 2017 for the period of October 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019, these funds were sub-contracted out to The Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, Inc. for the development of system-wide performance measures for homeless prevention services and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach, Inc. for financial assistance to needy families. Approval of this item will allow the continuation of contracted services. The portion of funds unspent in FY 2018 will be carried forward to FY 2019.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: the Thirteenth Amendment to the Palm Beach County Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2016-2017. SUMMARY: On July 12, 2016 (R2016-0937) the Board of County Commissioners approved the Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2016-2017, including $325,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the Parks and Recreation Department (Parks) for the acquisition of properties and development of a neighborhood park at 1543 and 1551 Meridian Road in West Palm Beach, in the unincorporated Plantation neighborhood.  Negotiations with the owners of the initial project site did not result in an agreement for the acquisition.  Subsequent extensive efforts to identify a feasible alternate site within the Plantation neighborhood have not been successful.  In order to meet expenditure requirements mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the funds must now be reallocated to an activity that can move forward.  Parks has proposed the use of these CDBG funds for the development of a neighborhood park at 2508 Bridgeman Drive in West Palm Beach, in the unincorporated Westgate/ Belvedere Homes CRA. The project will include the construction of a playground, basketball court, and related amenities.  Preliminary site design is already complete, and project implementation can move forward expediently. Staff has recommended an additional $75,000 in CDBG funds for this project which is included in the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability’s Agenda Item 5C-5; the Palm Beach County Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2018-2019. These are federal CDBG grant funds which require no local match. District 2 (JB)

SUMMARY: Lifespace Communities, Inc., an Iowa nonprofit corporation (Corporation), has requested the Palm Beach County Health Facilities Authority (Authority) to issue Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $215,000,000 pursuant to a TEFRA public hearing held on June 1, 2018.  The bonds are to be issued by the Authority for the purpose of providing funds to the Corporation to finance, refinance, and reimburse the costs of additions renovations, remodeling, equipping and miscellaneous capital improvements to the life care communities of Lifespace Communities, Inc., known as Abbey Delray, located at 2000 Lowson Boulevard in Delray Beach; The Waterford, located at 601 Universe Boulevard in Juno Beach; and Village on the Green, located at 500 Village Place in Longwood (Seminole County).  All facilitates to be financed by the Bonds are owned or leased and operated by the Corporation.  The Authority issues Bonds to finance projects for the Village on the Green community pursuant to an Interlocal Agreement between the Authority and Seminole County. Seminole County is separately approving the issuance of the Bonds by the Authority for the Village on the Green projects.  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 interest on the Bonds.

Project) Series 2013 and an IRS Form 8038 with respect thereto; providing for a general authorization to perform all acts consistent with the requirements of the Amendment; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: In 2013, the County issued Revenue Bonds (Palm Beach Day Academy, Inc. Project) Series 2013 (2013 Bonds) to refinance the County's Tax-Exempt Adjustable Mode Revenue Bonds (Palm Beach Day Academy, Inc. Project) Series 2006 (2006 Bonds).  The 2006 Bonds were issued to refinance earlier Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by the County and to finance capital assets for Palm Beach Day Academy, Inc. (Company) located at 241 Seaview Avenue in Palm Beach and 1901 South Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach. The 2013 Bonds are owned by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Bank).  The Bank and the Company have agreed to reduce the interest rate borne by the 2013 Bonds.  The 2013 Bonds are payable solely from revenues derived from the Company. A resolution authorizing the First Amendment to Indenture of Trust (Amendment) is needed, based on the recommendation of the Company bond counsel and the County Attorney’s Office, as the 2013 Authorizing Resolution (R2013-0401) may not explicitly address the ability of the Company and Bank to reduce the 2013 Bonds interest rate and amend the Indenture of Trust.  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 interest on the Bond.

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County receives an annual allocation from the State of Florida Housing Finance Corporation through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program to implement various affordable housing programs and other related activities.  On April 10, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners approved the SHIP Amended Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) for fiscal years 2016-2017, 2017-2018 and 2018–2019 (R2018-0608).  For Fiscal Year 2018-2019, Palm Beach County is to receive $1,430,741, an approximate $3 million reduction from the previous year. If Palm Beach County were fully funded, the allocation would have been approximately $10 million.  SHIP regulations require that a minimum of 65% of a local jurisdiction’s SHIP funding be allocated to homeownership activities, and 20% of the fiscal year’s funding allocation be expended on special needs households.  In accordance with the SHIP regulations, the funds are required to be encumbered within two years and expended within three years of the allocation. These are State SHIP funds which require no local match. Countywide (JB)

A) adopt resolution approving the Palm Beach County Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2018-2019; authorizing the County Administrator, or designee, to execute Standard Forms 424 and Certifications for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Programs; and funding agreements, amendments thereto, and other documents necessary for implementation of CDBG, HOME, and ESG activities; and

 

B) approve conditions to certain CDBG funded capital projects as specified in Attachment 4 of this agenda item.

 

SUMMARY: At the April 24, 2018 Workshop (Agenda Item 4B), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved program funding strategies for the CDBG and HOME Programs for Fiscal Year 2018-2019.  At the time of the Workshop, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) had not issued the projected municipal award amounts, so we used the current year’s program allocations as our guide.  During the Workshop, we advised the BCC that approximately $890,000 in CDBG funds were to be determined.  As part of the proposed final Action Plan (AP), we have identified $890,000 in County capital projects, as well as other CDBG eligible projects. In May 2018, HUD issued the funding notifications for each municipality, and Palm Beach County has received a funding increase in each program.  HUD has allocated $6,442,365 in CDBG funds (10.6% increase), $2,340,834 in HOME funds (43.8% increase), and $524,079 in ESG funds (1% increase) for FY 2018-2019.  The AP funding recommendations are consistent with the strategies presented to the BCC on April 24, 2018, which include utilizing the pro-rata share formula for CDBG funding allocations to municipalities.  The AP also allocates CDBG funds needed to fill budget gaps in several existing CDBG capital projects in order to complete those projects and meet the expenditure and National Objective requirements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  CDBG allocations total $6,442,365 plus program income of $10,000.  Several CDBG funded capital projects include conditions that must be met by municipal sub-recipients (i.e. City of Pahokee’s-Pahokee Gymnasium, Village of Palm Springs-Foxtail Palm Park, City of South Bay-Tanner and Cox Parks).  HOME allocations total $2,340,834. The AP also incorporates the ESG funding recommendations made by the Homeless and Housing Alliance (HHA). ESG allocations total $524,079.  The HHA Non-Conflict Grant Review Committee met on April 23, 2018 and recommended ESG funding for five activities. Any revisions directed by the Board today will be incorporated into the Action Plan before submittal to HUD by the August 16, 2018 deadline.  The ESG required local match ($524,079) will be provided by the four ESG-funded agencies, the Department of Community Services, and the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability.  The HOME required local match ($497,428) will be provided from the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program. CDBG funds require no local match. This Agenda Item will approve a total of $9,307,278 in federal funding. Countywide (JB)

6.      Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve Conditional Loan Agreement in the amount of $100,000 with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. (Goodwill) utilizing State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) funding for the purpose of constructing two multi-unit buildings for housing very-low to extremely-low income, disabled residents; and

 

B) delegate authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the Conditional Loan Agreement, amendments thereto, and all other documents necessary for project implementation including subordination agreements.

 

SUMMARY: Goodwill has acquired property, via donation by the City of West Palm Beach (City), located at the northeast corner of North Tamarind Avenue and 20th Street, for the purposes of constructing six single occupant housing units for developmentally disabled, very-low or extremely-low income residents.  The property consists of two lots. The property located at 2100 N. Tamarind Avenue was quit claimed from the County to the City in 2002. The property located on 2108 Tamarind Avenue was acquired by the City from a private entity in 2008. The cost of the construction, including all requirements, is estimated to be $950,000.  The Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) has agreed to fund $592,000, and Goodwill has applied for $120,000 of SHIP funding from the City.  If approved, this additional $100,000 of SHIP funding will partially fund the remaining construction costs.  The SHIP funds recommended for this project come from the SAIL/Tax Credit Match activity.  The funding set aside for this activity was not used, because the tax credit project selected by the State in Palm Beach County was not the tax credit project recommended by the County Commission.  Goodwill is working with several other local foundations and the City for the remaining funding.  The County’s SHIP loan funding would be contingent on Goodwill securing all funding for the project prior to the release of any funds by the County. The funding request was submitted by Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. and did not go through a request for proposal (RFP) process.  Since the FHFC does not require a RFP process for its funds, staff is presenting the request for Commission approval. The project will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and include six units, a case manager office, and a common laundry facility. Each unit will be approximately 700 square feet with a bedroom, bathroom, and cooking facilities to provide for independent living. The property and units will be owned and operated by Goodwill throughout the life of the project and Goodwill will provide counseling and support services to the residents.  The County’s 15 year affordability requirements for all units will be recorded against the property and the loan will be made cash flow dependent.

            E.        PALM TRAN

                       

                        1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: 

 

A) Labor Management Agreement (LMA) between Palm Tran, Inc. and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), as joint employer, and the Service Employees International Union, Florida Public Services Union, CtW, CLC (SEIU) representing 40 regular full-time, non-professional, supervisory employees of Palm Tran, Inc. for the three year period of October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020; and

 

B) Letter of Agreement (LOA) between Palm Tran, Inc. and SEIU establishing an implementation schedule as supplement to the Labor Management Agreement.

 

SUMMARY: On January 19, 2018, Palm Tran began contract negotiations with SEIU for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of employment for 40 Palm Tran employees (30 Operations Supervisors, ten Maintenance Supervisors).  On May 16, 2018, Palm Tran and SEIU tentatively agreed to the terms and conditions of the LMA.  The Agreement was ratified by SEIU on June 2, 2018.  Of the 41 Articles included in the LMA, 12 were amended during the negotiation process.  In general, changes to the non-economic work rules will allow for increased efficiency and effectiveness of operations, as well as align current business practices to formalized PPM’s. The negotiated wage article established fair wages by effectively addressing wage compression between supervisors and their direct subordinate staff. The wage compression allows supervisors to be paid one half of one percentage point above the top wage bus operators and maintenance technicians.  In addition, the amended wage article provides: Operations and Maintenance Supervisors 3% in Fiscal Year (FY) 18; Operations Supervisors 2% in FY19 and Maintenance Supervisors 3% in FY19   Operations Supervisors 1.5% in FY20 and Maintenance Supervisors .5% in FY20.  This represents a total wage increase over the term of the agreement of $224,260 or an average annual increase of 3.5%.  The LOA sets forth an implementation schedule for the FY18 wage increase (no later than the third full pay period following ratification by the BCC) which is retroactive to the first full pay period following October 1, 2017.

 

 

F.         OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET  

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to authorize: the Impact Fee Manager to use an amended version of the standard form school declaration and restrictive covenant for a special transaction with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries. Inc.    SUMMARY:  Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. was awarded a grant by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to acquire land and develop affordable housing for persons with developmental disabilities. The development known as The Home at Tamarind will be located at 2100 N. Tamarind Avenue in West Palm Beach and will be designed to house a maximum of ten residents containing six individual units with each unit having one bedroom and one bathroom.  Gulfstream Goodwill Industries is seeking a school impact fee exemption because occupancy rules will require residents to be at least 18 years old and no longer attending public schools. Article 13 of the Unified Land Development Code allows for a school impact fee exemption provided the proposed development has no impact on the school system and a declaration and restrictive covenant is executed.  The standard form of the declaration and restrictive covenant was designed for senior housing development (55-years and older – adult communities).  Approval of the motion will authorize the Impact Fee Manager to execute an amended version of the school declaration and restrictive covenant customized especially for The Home at Tamarind.  The Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability Agenda Item 5C-6 is a companion item.

D) Administrative adjustments to establish funding in the FY 2019 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 2018) after the preparation of the proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2019 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.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: interlocal agreement with the Health Care District (HCD) of Palm Beach County to provide nursing staffing services to disaster relief shelters beginning July 10, 2018 and remaining in effect until May 31, 2023. Summary:  The HCD will provide nursing and medical assistant staffing services to the disaster relief shelters, which may include first aid to residents with minor health needs, health education, monitoring shelter environment for health issues, and other nursing care services.  For any declared disaster, the HCD agreed to submit for reimbursement directly through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) Program. Typically, FEMA’s share of eligible costs is 75%, unless a higher percentage is approved.  Funding of the 25% nonfederal share of eligible costs is contingent upon the State of Florida future appropriations.  Typically, the State contributes 12.5% of the nonfederal share.  The County agrees to reimburse the HCD for the remaining share of the eligible staffing costs.  In the event a disaster has not been declared, the County will reimburse the HCD for staff costs directly associated with HCD employees working at shelters. Overtime costs, at straight time pay and time and one-half pay, will be reimbursed following the HCD Compensation and Cost Policy for Essential Emergency or Disaster Employees.  The County will not reimburse for the employees regularly scheduled salary. The agreement does not provide a disclosed amount for reimbursement due to the uncertainty of the level of impact a disaster can have on Palm Beach County. Countywide (LDC)

           

2.         Staff requests Board discussion and direction: regarding proceeding with implementing a juvenile transitional step-down program in Palm Beach County (County). SUMMARY: At the May 15, 2018 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to formalize conversations with the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) regarding a partnership to create a juvenile transitional step-down facility in Palm Beach County and report back on those conversations.  Prior to the Board Directive, as part of the Reentry Task Force (RTF) Strategic Plan, conversations occurred between the Chair of the Juvenile Reentry Task Force (Judge Kathleen Kroll) and the DJJ (Secretary Christina Daly) to determine DJJ’s interest.  On May 3, 2018, the Juvenile RTF hosted DJJ Secretary Daly and her team along with members of County Administration to discuss County juvenile reentry initiatives.  At that meeting, DJJ offered to support a Legislative Budget Request (LBR) to fund programming for a juvenile transitional step-down facility, with the facility and costs for renovation provided by the County. Since the Board’s Directive, formalized conversations have resulted in DJJ’s request for the County to submit a LBR and for DJJ to conduct a site visit to the County to evaluate potential sites and provide feedback for renovation estimates for a hardened facility.    DJJ advised county staff to submit a proposal for a three-year pilot project. The current proposal includes strengthening existing post-release services for case management, transitional jobs, mentoring, transition planning, family reunification and support services (Year 1); implementation of a transitional step-down facility while continuing to enhance services (Year 2 and 3); and an overall evaluation of the pilot project (Year 3).  The pilot project would ultimately create and implement a residential transitional step-down facility that would bring committed juveniles (25 at a time) closer to home and utilize evidence-based practices and services for the last 90-120 days of their detainment.  The estimated cost of the programming for the facility, excluding costs for facility renovations (incurred by the County) and care and control of the facility (presumably paid by DJJ) is approximately $2,007,500 annually.  The County will not provide direct services at the facility; rather, Request for Proposals would be distributed to solicit vendors.  The County would select and manage the contract of an appropriate entity to deliver program services such as treatment, education, employment, mentoring and transition planning. If the pilot is successful, continuation funding would be sought from a variety of sources including County funding. Countywide (LDC)

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) accept Florida Department of Health (DOH) Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Matching Grant, ID Code M6063, award in the amount of $137,730 for the cost of a Chronic Disease Management Project (CDMP) for the period of May 23, 2018 through June 30, 2019;

 

B) approve the addition of one grant funded on-call Chronic Disease Management Project Coordinator position at an hourly rate of $29.42 on a temporary basis for the duration of the one year program;

 

C) approve budget amendment within the Fire/Rescue MSTU Fund to recognize the $137,730 grant award, establish budget for the approved grant and transfer $45,910 from contingency reserves for Fire-Rescue’s matching requirement; and

 

D) authorize County Administrator or designee to execute certifications, standard forms, reimbursement requests, amendments or documents relating to work activities and time frames that do not change the general scope or terms and conditions of the grant.

 

SUMMARY:  This $137,730 grant will be used to fund the cost of a CDMP. The total project cost identified in the grant application is $183,640. The required match for this grant is $45,910 (25%), which will be funded from Fire Rescue’s contingency reserve. This grant will provide funding for an on-call Chronic Disease Management Project Coordinator, overtime for paramedics, a vehicle and necessary medical equipment. The project coordinator position will be removed from the complement upon expiration of the program, unless the grant is renewed.  The vehicle and medical equipment will be owned by and will remain with Fire Rescue. The CDMP will assist patients diagnosed with congestive heart failure that have been recently released from Delray Medical Center to their home. The program will consist of a series of home visits for seven to ten individual patients over a 30-day period for each patient conducted by the Chronic Disease Management Project Coordinator and paramedics. The goal of the program is to reduce the number of non-emergency calls from the same individual and over-utilization of the 911 emergency medical care system.

A)  adopt resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in a 0.06 acre vacant parcel of County-owned unbuildable land located north of Springfield Street, and west of Military Trail in unincorporated Palm Beach County to M&M Investment Associates, LLC for $20,000 with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 270.11;

 

B)  approve Deposit Receipt and Contract for Sale and Purchase agreement with M&M Investment Associates, LLC for the sale of 0.06 acres of County surplus property; and

 

C)  approve County Deed in favor of M&M Investment Associates, LLC.

 

SUMMARY:  Palm Beach County acquired a 0.06 acre parcel located north of Springfield Street and west of Military Trail in Lake Worth by Tax Deed in March 2016.  This property is unbuildable, serves no present or future County purpose and has remained on the surplus property list since it was acquired.  The 2017 assessed value issued by the Property Appraiser is $4,000.  In November 2017, PREM was contacted by an adjacent property owner expressing an interest in the parcel.  In accordance with Florida Statutes Section 125.35(2), notice of the County’s intent to sell this parcel was sent to all adjacent property owners of the County parcel. Three responses of interest were received.  On March 27, 2018, Staff provided each party notice and afforded them the opportunity to submit a bid.  On April 26, 2018, two bids were received from: Juan Guillermo Escobar in the amount of $10,000 and M&M Investment Associates, LLC for $20,000.  On May 3, 2018, Mr. Escobar withdrew his bid and his deposit was returned. Pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 125.35(2), the Board may effect a private sale of the parcel upon a finding that the value of a parcel is $15,000 or less, and when due to its size, shape, location, and value it is of use to only one or more adjacent property owners.  Staff recommends a finding by the Board that due to the parcel’s size, shape, location, and value it is of use to only one or more adjacent property owners, and that the Board sell this parcel to the highest bidder, M&M Investment Associates, LLC in “As-Is” condition.  The County will retain mineral rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, but will not retain rights of entry and exploration.  Closing is anticipated to occur within 60 days of Board approval.  This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners).  (PREM)  District 2 (HJF)

A) adopt resolution authorizing the conveyance of two surplus County-owned parcels of land to the City of Pahokee (City) without charge pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 270.11, and without reservation of mineral and petroleum rights;

 

B) approve County Deed which reserves a utility easement across a small portion of one of the two properties being conveyed in favor of the City; and

 

C) approve Assignment and Assumption of Contract to the City for the MetroPCS California/Florida,  Inc. PCS Site Agreement relating to the City’s use of the properties for communication facilities.

 

SUMMARY:  On April 30, 2013, the Glades Utility Authority (GUA) conveyed the former Pahokee Elevated Water Tower #1 property (Parcel A-3) and the former Pahokee Elevated Water Tower #3 and Lift Station property (Parcel A-9) to the County.  The properties are located within the municipal boundaries of the City.  The City had previously conveyed Parcel A-9 to GUA in 2011 and Parcel A-3 in 2012.  The County’s Water Utilities Department (WUD) is no longer utilizing the water towers or the properties and has declared the properties as surplus, with the exception of a small portion of Parcel A-9 upon which WUD maintains a lift station and improvements.  An easement will be reserved in the County Deed for the lift station improvements. Pursuant to the City’s reverter rights as set forth in Official Record Book 25987, Page 1095, recorded on April 30, 2013, the properties shall revert to the City when they are no longer used by the County for utility purposes.  The City has requested that the County convey the surplus properties back to the City.  The City has executed an “As-Is” Acknowledgement accepting the properties without warranties and/or representations and an Assignment and Assumption of Contract.  GUA’s conveyance of Parcel A-9 to the County included all of GUA’s rights and obligations pursuant to an agreement with MetroPCS California/Florida, Inc., dated April 29, 2005, which rights and duties will be assigned to the City at the time of closing.  On May 8, 2018, the City adopted a Resolution approving the “As-Is” Acknowledgement and the Assignment and Assumption of Contract.  The properties will be conveyed without charge.  This conveyance must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners).  (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

B)  approve County Deed in favor of Haines.

 

SUMMARY:  Unbeknownst to the County, on October 31, 2017, Haines mistakenly conveyed to the County a 0.13 acre surplus property containing a 1,240 sf single-family residence located at 1115 Grant Street in West Palm Beach, with an assessed value of $45,112.  At the time of the conveyance of the parcel to the County, it was associated with the assets of the decedent, Richard Haines, Jr.  Haines has requested that the County re-convey the parcel to him.  As the conveyance to the County was in error and without consideration, Staff recommends that the County re-convey the surplus parcel to Haines without competitive bidding under the alternative disposition procedures established by Ordinance 2002-067.  This requires a finding by the Board that Haines is the only person capable of reasonably utilizing the parcel for its highest and best use.  This finding is based upon the County’s lack of legal arguments to support County ownership of this property and will avoid needless litigation.  Haines has requested that such parcel be conveyed without reservation of phosphate, mineral, metals and petroleum rights.  This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners).  (PREM) District 7 (HJF)
