 25                   3CC-1             DELETED FOR FURTHER STAFF REVIEW: Staff recommends motion to: A) accept on behalf of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office a National Institute of Justice Award Letter for a FY 2018 DNA Capacity Enhancement and Backlog Reduction Program Grant in the amount of $312,793 for the period January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020; and… (Sheriff)

 

32                    5E-1                REVISED SUMMARY:Unlike most IST projects, which are renewal/replacement in nature, this new facility will require the allocation of approximately $3,966,484 in new annual programmatic, operating and rapid re-housing expenses beginning in FY 2022 in the first phase Phase 1 and an additional annual expense of $1,329,697 for Phase 2. Staff estimates a total annual programmatic and operating expense of $5,296,181 for Phases 1 and 2 and is requesting Board direction as to whether it should be added to the five year operating budget projections beginning in FY 2022. During the development of the facility, staff will continue to develop strategies to create new non-County funding streams from private and public sources, including the municipalities. If the BCC directs staff to include the additional annual operating funding in its budget projections, then development of the HRC2 can commence. The Phase 1 facility consists of an approximately 16,245 square foot building to support: 16 beds for adult men and 10 beds for adult women; 14 Law Enforcement/recuperative care beds; guest support facilities; staff and clinic support offices; a reception area; dedicated offices for use by PBSO field personnel; and a multi-purpose room for facility and community use, in addition to ancillary site improvements. Phase 1 can be fully completed within the allocated IST and ad valorem funding of $6,900,000 funding. Phase 2 would add 10 beds each for male and female youth and 14 adult male beds for an additional $1,100,000. In order to provide the needed beds for homeless youth at the earliest time possible and to reduce costs for Phase 2 construction, staff recommends concurrent construction of Phase 1 and Phase 2 and an additional allocation of capital funding in the amount of $1,100,000 in FY 2020 to complete Phase 1 and 2 concurrently at a total cost of $8,000,000.  (Comm Svs)

 

35                    5H-1               REVISED SUMMARY: On June 13, 2016, the County acquired via Escheatment Tax Deed a vacant 1.33 acre County owned parcel located at 40th Street North in Royal Palm Beach. The County owned parcel is adjacent to a parcel owned by the Lopezes and used as their primary residence.  In April March 2004, the Lopezes purchased two parcels – the County owned parcel and a 1.33 acre adjoining parcel containing a 1,560 sf single family residence.   (FDO)

A.        PUBLIC SAFETY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 13, Article II, Division 1, (Ordinance No. 2017-030); amending Section 13-22 (Application for COPCN); providing a savings clause; providing severability; providing inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing captions; and providing for an effective date.  SUMMARY: On November 20, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners held a preliminary reading of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Ordinance revisions.  The EMS Ordinance establishes standards for issuing Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN’s) for Advanced Life Support service (ALS) which applies to the unincorporated and incorporated areas of Palm Beach County.  All entities applying for a COPCN are required to have experience providing ALS services and have staff who have experience providing ALS services.  This amendment permits entities applying for a Special Secondary Service Provider COPCN who have experienced staff but that lack experience providing ALS services as an entity, to obtain a Special Secondary Service Provider COPCN with conditions require: 1) successful provision of service for six-months; and 2) implementation of a formal quality assurance program meeting at least three times during the six-month period.  All other requirements of the Ordinance apply to Special Secondary Service Provider COPCN applicants.  The six-month condition is documented by letter of the primary provider and the primary provider is invited to the quality assurance meetings.  Special Secondary Service Provider COPCN holders are companies that contract with a Homeowner’s Association to provide services within a community.  They are also required to contract with the primary provider of ALS services, and adhere to the primary provider’s ALS protocols and they must be licensed by the State.  The Special Secondary Service Provider COPCN holder will report to the County Administrator, or designee, (Public Safety Director) at the end of six-months with the letter from the primary provider and evidence of the formal quality assurance program.  The County Administrator, or designee, will determine if the conditions have been met and if so, the COPCN shall remain in effect until the contract with the community expires or is terminated.  If the conditions have not been satisfied, then the Special Secondary Service Provider COPCN shall be in violation of the EMS Ordinance and the COPCN shall be subject to immediate suspension by the County Administrator, or designee and revocation by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).  The County Administrator, or designee, may permit an additional 30 days to satisfy conditions if the Applicant has demonstrated good faith efforts towards satisfaction of the condition.  Special Secondary Service Provider COPCN experience does not meet the criteria to establish the necessary ALS or Basic Life Support experience for a Primary or Secondary Provider as they are not providing the full continuum of patient care since patient care is transferred to the primary Provider, no transportation is provided, and Special Secondary Provider’s do not provide patient care during transport.  This proposed amendment to the EMS Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities on October 24, 2018, and was unanimously approved.  The EMS Council has reviewed and recommends the BCC approval of the Ordinance revisions at the November 14, 2018 EMS Council meeting.

The EMS Council reviewed the application on September 20, 2018, and recommended the BCC approval of the COPCN with conditions subject to BCC approval of the EMS Ordinance revision on December 4, 2018.  District 1 (LDC)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on December 18, 2018 at 9:30 am: an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending the Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code, Ordinance 2003-70, as amended, by amending Article 13, concerning countywide impact fee amounts and certain benefit zones, as follows:  Chapter B – County district, regional, and beach parks impact fee; Chapter C – Fire-Rescue impact fee; Chapter D – Library impact fee; Chapter E – Law enforcement impact fee; Chapter F – Public buildings impact fee; Chapter G – School impact fee; Chapter H – Road impact fee; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Unified Land Development Code; providing for an effective date. SUMMARY:  Based on the impact fee study, fees would be increased or adjusted to the full amount allowed under the ordinance (95% of the amount calculated in the methodology) with the exception of general office which would be phased in over a two-year period up to the 95% amount allowed under the ordinance.  This would result in increases for all of the fees except for road impact fees for residential and general retail.  In addition, fire rescue impact fee collections would resume.  The fire rescue fee was discontinued after the previous impact fee update because there were no new fire stations proposed in the 5-Year Capital Plan.  The methodology provides the appropriate credits for other revenue sources that help fund capital facility infrastructure including ad valorem taxes, debt service payments, federal, state, and local grants, and gas taxes.  Adjustments would also be made to the road, parks, and school impact fee benefit zones.

SUMMARY: Funding from the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 SHIP Fiscal Years, will be used to support the requests received from all applicants. Between January 8, 2018 and June 8, 2018, HES accepted names for the SHIP Program waiting list.  During this period, 3,624 applicants were placed on the waiting list.  Staff subsequently contacted all of the applicants to advise them that the SHIP applications would be available on June 11, 2018 through July 13, 2018. During this period, 1,136 applications were distributed for the Purchase Assistance Program, Veteran’s Homeownership and Preservation Program and Emergency Repair Program. To date, 218 applications have been received which included nine from County employees and three from relatives of County employees. Under these three SHIP Programs, no loan repayment is due as long as the home remains the homeowner’s primary residence. If the homeowner rents, sells, or otherwise conveys the home during the term of the mortgage, then the entire principal amount of the loan will become due and payable. The Purchase Assistance Program (PAP) provides assistance in the form of a deferred forgivable loan, which is secured by thirty-year second mortgage. Funding for the PAP is committed once an executed sales contract is received. The Veteran’s Homeownership and Preservation Program (VHPP) provides assistance in the form of a deferred forgivable loan, which is secured by a fifteen-year second mortgage.  Funding for VHPP buyers who are looking to purchase a home, is committed once an executed sales contract is received. The Emergency Repair Program provides assistance in the form of a deferred forgivable loan, which is secured by a fifteen-year second mortgage.  Applications for this program are accepted year round, as funding remains available.  These are State SHIP funds which require no local match.

B) budget transfer of $119,167 from the Head Start Match reallocation (Unit 1451) for evidence-based/promising programming to the CHS program (Unit 2531) to fund the cost associated with this Contract.

 

SUMMARY: When the Youth Services Department (Department) was created, the Board of County Commissioners assigned a number of responsibilities to the Department, one of which was a Family Visitation/Exchange program.  The program need was identified by Juvenile Court judges and ChildNet, Inc. A subcommittee of the Community Alliance researched a location that could accommodate the need.  The subcommittee identified the former Nelle Smith Group Home at CHS, which has been remodeled to include eight age-specific rooms, shared space where educational programs and group meetings, as well as a full kitchen and outdoor playground.  Students from the Florida Atlantic University School of Social Work will be supervising the visitations, which provides the needed services to the children and families and provides for the required experience for the students.

1.         Staff requests Board direction:

 

A)  on the inclusion of new operating expenses, currently estimated at $5,296,181 annually, associated with the second Homeless Resource Center (HRC2) beginning in FY 2022; and

 

B)  on the allocation of additional capital funding in the amount of $1,100,000, estimated to occur in FY 2020, to accommodate the concurrent build-out of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the HRC2.

 

SUMMARY: In November 2016, Palm Beach County voters approved a referendum to raise the sales tax rate by one penny to address backlogged infrastructure renewal, replacement, and construction, for a ten year period. The Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan, approved by the Board on April 4, 2017, allocates $5,700,000 in FY 2019 toward the construction of an HRC2 to supplement the County’s Senator Philip D. Lewis Center (Lewis Center), as well as $1,200,000 for a PBSO satellite office facility to be located in the western Lake Worth area. Unlike most IST projects, which are renewal/replacement in nature, this new facility will require the allocation of approximately $3,966,484 in new annual programmatic, operating and rapid re-housing expenses beginning in FY 2022 in the first phase Phase 1 and an additional annual expense of $1,329,697 for Phase 2. Staff estimates a total annual programmatic and operating expense of $5,296,181 for Phases 1 and 2 and is requesting Board direction as to whether it should be added to the five year operating budget projections beginning in FY 2022. During the development of the facility, staff will continue to develop strategies to create new non-County funding streams from private and public sources, including the municipalities. If the BCC directs staff to include the additional annual operating funding in its budget projections, then development of the HRC2 can commence. The Phase 1 facility consists of an approximately 16,245 square foot building to support: 16 beds for adult men and 10 beds for adult women; 14 Law Enforcement/recuperative care beds; guest support facilities; staff and clinic support offices; a reception area; dedicated offices for use by PBSO field personnel; and a multi-purpose room for facility and community use, in addition to ancillary site improvements. Phase 1 can be fully completed within the allocated IST and ad valorem funding of $6,900,000 funding. Phase 2 would add 10 beds each for male and female youth and 14 adult male beds for an additional $1,100,000. In order to provide the needed beds for homeless youth at the earliest time possible and to reduce costs for Phase 2 construction, staff recommends concurrent construction of Phase 1 and Phase 2 and an additional allocation of capital funding in the amount of $1,100,000 in FY 2020 to complete Phase 1 and 2 concurrently at a total cost of $8,000,000.

H.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in 1.33 acres of vacant land located in unincorporated Palm Beach County to Norberto L. Lopez and Maria M. Lopez,  husband and wife (the Lopezes), for $22,524.87 without reservation of phosphate, mineral, metals, and petroleum rights; and

 

B) approve County Deed in favor of the Lopezes.

 

SUMMARY:  On June 13, 2016, the County acquired via Escheatment Tax Deed a vacant 1.33 acre County owned parcel located at 40th Street North in Royal Palm Beach. The County owned parcel is adjacent to a parcel owned by the Lopezes and used as their primary residence.  In April March 2004, the Lopezes purchased two parcels – the County owned parcel and a 1.33 acre adjoining parcel containing a 1,560 sf single family residence.  Due to an economic hardship and the failing health of Mr. Lopez, the Lopezes were financially unable to pay taxes on both parcels and chose to only pay taxes on their homesteaded residence. The Lopezes have recovered economically and request that the County re-convey the County owned parcel per Florida Statutes, Section 197.592(1), which allows for the conveyance to the prior fee simple title owner. The County owned parcel has a 2018 assessed value of $19,811. The Lopezes will pay $22,524.87, equal to the taxes for the years 2007 through 2018. Staff recommends the conveyance of this parcel to the Lopezes as: (i) the parcel serves no present or future County purpose; (ii) the County will receive payment of all delinquent taxes; (iii) the property will be returned to the tax roll; and (iv) it will relieve the County of potential liability for occurrences on the property. This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM)  District 6 (HJF)
