1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a contract with Christopher Briceno in an
amount not to exceed $10,000 to implement the Office of Community
Revitalization’s (OCR) Abundant Community Initiative Pilot Project (Project) in
the Plantation Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) area. SUMMARY:
Staff
is requesting the BCC approve a contract with Mr. Christopher Briceno, the
newly selected Neighborhood Connector, to continue the implementation of the
Project. The BCC previously approved two contracts with a resident to serve as a
Neighborhood Connector for the Plantation CCRT area to implement the Project:
one on March 22, 2016 in an amount not to exceed $5,000 and one on September
12, 2017 for $6,000. The purpose of the Project is to further engage and help empower residents for civic
leadership. The Project will
test the viability and potential of the Asset
Based Community Development initiative for neighborhood development in Palm Beach
County by utilizing actual neighborhoods, their existing
leadership structures and residents. The terms of the two previous contracts
have been fulfilled. The
contract with Mr. Briceno will commence on June 4, 2019 and expire on May 1,
2020. The new contract amount of $10,000 reflects added tasks and deliverables.
Funding for this Project is available from the Abundant Community Initiative
account. District 2 (HH)
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A)
adopt a resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida approving the CareerSource Palm Beach County (CSPBC) Fiscal Year
2019-2020 budget in the amount of $16,873,439 for its programs under Public Law
113-128, enacted by Congress effective July 1, 2015 which Act is known as the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act (WIOA) of 2014; and
B)
approve a waiver from the Statutory Individual Training Account (ITA)
requirement.
SUMMARY: On December
16, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a contract to
administer grant funds (R2014-1894) with CareerSource Palm Beach County (CSPBC)
which services include the design, coordination, and implementation of the
local workforce development system for Palm Beach 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
2019-2020 budget, in the amount of $16,873,439, includes the following revenue
sources: $13,858,347 from the US Department of Labor; $2,325,092 from the US
Department of Health and Human Services for Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families; $490,000 from the US Department of Agriculture for the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program; and $200,000 from private grants and local government.
CSPBC is requesting a waiver of the statutory Individual Training Account
requirement from CareerSource Florida. Approval for a waiver is necessary to
ensure that overall services to participants are not reduced. The DEO requires at least 50% of the Adult
and Dislocated WIOA funds to be spent on individual training activities. Due to
continued decrease in funding, CSPBC is concerned that the 50% criteria may not
be met and as a result is requesting a waiver from the requirement. Although a
waiver will be sought, CSPBC will strive to meet the 50% requirement. Staff is
recommending approval of the amendment of the Contract to Administer Grant
Funds for the Fiscal Year 2019-2020. Countywide (HH)

with K-F Group, Inc. (KFG), in the amount of $1,059,441.02 for
professional engineering services for the Royal Palm Beach Boulevard from north

date of the EBO Ordinance and pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
Ordinance requirements in effect at that time, with final selection taking place

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a third amendment to the annual pathway and minor
construction contract R2018-0012, Project No. 2017055, dated January 23, 2018,
with Wynn & Sons Environmental Construction Co., Inc. (Wynn & Sons) to
extend the expiration date from July 22, 2019 to January 22, 2021, increase the
contract by $3,265,000 and add the new Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance
(EBO) language to the contract. SUMMARY: Approval of this third
amendment will increase Wynn & Sons contract from $9,500,000 to $12,765,000
and extend the expiration date from July 22, 2019 to January 22, 2021. The
increased contract amount is based on updated estimates that exceed the current
contract amounts to be expended throughout Palm Beach County (County) by the
user departments. To date, tasks in the amount of $5,429,036 have been
authorized for Wynn & Sons. This third amendment will also add the new EBO
Ordinance language to the contract. The contract was presented to the Goal
Setting Committee on February 6, 2019 and a waiver of Affirmative Procurement
Initiative was approved based upon insufficient qualified Small/Minority/Women
Business Enterprises to provide the goods or services required by the contract
available in the County despite every reasonable attempt to locate them. This bid was solicited on October 10, 2017,
prior to the effective date of the EBO Ordinance and pursuant to the SBE
Ordinance requirements. This is the last allowable extension, as the
contract provides that it may not exceed 36 months total contract time. After
this 18-month extension, the contract will be resolicited. Countywide (YBH)
3. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a resolution to declare the acquisition of properties
designated as parcel 101 as fee simple road right-of-way and parcel 201 as a
permanent easement as necessary for the construction of a southbound right turn
lane on North Military Trail at PGA Boulevard (Project). SUMMARY:
Adoption of this resolution
will initiate eminent domain proceedings pursuant to Chapters 73, 74,
127, and Section 337.27, Florida
Statutes, as amended, against
two parcels having a total appraised value of $333,700. The parcels are
necessary for the construction of a southbound right turn lane on North
Military Trail at PGA Boulevard. The
property owner has not accepted the
offer to purchase made by Palm Beach County and attempts to negotiate the
purchase have been unsuccessful. Eminent
domain proceedings are necessary to acquire the parcels at this time in order
to expedite construction of the project, which is funded in the current Five
Year Road Program. District 1

4. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) the third amendment to the annual intersection
improvements contract (Contract) R2017-0778 dated June 20, 2017 with Bolton
Perez & Associates, Inc. (BPA), to extend the Contract expiration date from
June 19, 2019 to June 19, 2020, modify the fee schedule, and allow for other
amendments to the Contract; and
B) the third amendment to the annual intersection improvements contract
R2017-0779 dated June 20, 2017 with HSQ Group, Inc. (HSQ), to extend the
Contract expiration date from June 19, 2019 to June 19, 2020, modify the fee
schedule, and allow for other amendments to the Contract.
SUMMARY: Approval of these third
amendments will extend the expiration dates of the Contracts with BPA and HSQ
from June 19, 2019 to June 19, 2020; adjust their hourly rates as allowed in
these original Contracts; and add the new Equal Business Opportunity (EBO)
Ordinance language. These Contracts were presented to the Goal Setting
Committee on February 6, 2019, and a 20% mandatory SBE subcontracting goal for
the Affirmative Procurement Initiative was recommended. To date, tasks in the amount of $425,690.33
have been authorized for BPA with 24.62% SBE participation. To date, tasks in the amount of $707,936.76
have been authorized for HSQ with 79.14% SBE participation. BPA is a Miami based company but has an office
located in Palm Beach County (County).
HSQ is a County based company and is a certified SBE company. This is
the second of two allowable renewals under these Contracts. After the second
renewal, the Contracts will need to be re-solicited. Countywide (YBH)
5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a budget
amendment in the amount of $137,000 in the Capital Outlay Fund to recognize
reimbursement funding from the Westgate Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment
Agency (Westgate CRA) and appropriate it to the Belvedere Heights Phase I
project (Project). SUMMARY:
Approval of this budget amendment will allocate the funding necessary to
design the Project. The Westgate CRA
received a Local Agency Program (LAP) federally funded grant through the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the construction of the
Project, which will provide sidewalk and streetlights on five residential
streets within the Westgate CRA. A work
task order to prepare design plans was assigned to Mock, Roos and Associates,
Inc., under the existing annual civil engineering contract and was approved by
the Contract Review Committee on January 30, 2019. The Westgate CRA is responsible for all costs
above the grant amount, which includes design.

6. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Work Order 2018051-29 in the amount of $1,456,000 to
mill and resurface Jog Road from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Hypoluxo Road
utilizing Palm Beach County’s (County) annual asphalt milling and resurfacing
contract R2018-1533 (Contract) with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc.
(Ranger). Per County PPM CW-F-050, this work order exceeds the $200,000
threshold for staff approvals of work orders to annual contracts, thus
requiring approval from the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). SUMMARY: Approval of this work order
will allow the contractual services necessary to construct the project. Prior
to this work order, approximately $6 million of Ranger’s $16 million Contract
has been spent or encumbered. This annual construction bid was solicited on
July 8, 2018, prior to the effective date of the Equal Business Opportunity
(EBO) Ordinance and pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance
at the time. The annual contract is scheduled for renewal by October 15, 2019,
when the new EBO Ordinance will be added. On October 16, 2018, the BCC approved
the Contract with Ranger to provide milling and resurfacing of County roadways
for countywide projects. Ranger proposed 15% SBE participation for the Contract
and for this work order. Approval of this work order will result in a
cumulative SBE participation of 15% for all the work orders issued under the
Contract. Districts 3 & 5 (YBH)

Several proposals were submitted and a selection committee reviewed and scored
each one. The skill set building and vocational/employment training funds are
provided by the Community Service Block Grant (CSBG), and are allocated
according to the amount of funding received every grant year. The agencies
selected will provide skill set building and vocational/ employment training to
low-income individuals who reside within Palm Beach County. The skill set
building category will include various training services in computer training,
life skills, work readiness, and financial budgeting. The vocational/employment
training category will include training services in the fields of plumbing,
welding, security, childcare and various other vocational trades. In Grant Year
(GY) 2016, 234 clients were enrolled in the Family Self Sufficiency Program
(FSSP) with 88 clients completing vocational training. In GY 2017, 275 clients
were enrolled in the FSSP with 127 completing the training. In GY 2018, 193
clients were enrolled in the FSSP with 83 completing the training. The annual
job success rate percentage was 38.4% in GY 2016, 51.2% in GY 2017 and 46.6% in
GY 2018. Job success rates are determined by the percentage of clients who enrolled
in the FSSP and obtained a job/better job (increased wages) and kept it for 90
days. These clients also received skill set building training such as resume
writing, soft skills training, and financial management training, that would
enable them to not only gain employment, but also maintain employment. Clients
enrolled in the FSSP also obtain support services such as utility assistance,
rental assistance, bus passes, and referrals to support them during their stay
in the program. The CSBG total budget for GY 2019 is $998,000 and will serve
approximately 125 clients in all programs, which represents a reduction over GY
2018 due to reduction of funding and changes in the demand of vocational
training categories. The number of clients served is based on the grant
allocation, cost of training and the need of clients. No County funds are required. (Community Action Program) Countywide

motion to approve:
A)
Amendment 007 to Standard Agreement No. IA016-9500 (R2016-0321)
for the Older Americans Act (OAA) with the Area Agency on Aging of Palm
Beach/Treasure Coast, Inc. (AAA), for the period January 1, 2018 through
December 31, 2018, to increase the overall total funding for the period by
$160,000 and to revise, amend, and replace portions of the standard agreement
to provide in-home and community-based services to seniors; and
B)
budget amendment of $160,000 in the Division of Senior Services
Administration Fund to align the budget to the actual grant award.
SUMMARY: Grant adjustments are made during the
contract year to align services with need. This amendment is necessary to
incorporate changes made to the standard agreement. Services are provided to
eligible Palm Beach County individuals age 60 and older and their caregivers.
The various services preserve the independence of seniors and defer the need
for more costly institutions. Under the OAA contract, there are several programs
which serve seniors. The congregate meals program served 1,557 seniors. The
home-delivered meals program served 432 seniors. The in-home services program
served 151 seniors and the in-home services for clients with caregivers served
26 seniors/caregivers. The number of seniors served is based on the amount of
the grant and the need of clients. The Division of Senior Services is
responsible for providing services north of Hypoluxo Rd. The areas of service
include all districts, excluding portions of Districts 3, 4, 5 and 7 south of
Hypoluxo Road. The Mae Volen Senior Center, Inc. is responsible for providing
services in the areas south of Hypoluxo Road. Sufficient funding is included in the current budget to meet County
obligations. No additional funds are required for this amendment.

Order No. 19-013 to the contract with Precision Air Systems, Inc. (Precision
Air) (R2015-0049) in the amount of $219,040 for the replacement of air handler
unit #5N at the Government Center Complex (GCC) for the period of 120 days from
permit issuance or until project is complete.
SUMMARY: The work consists of the replacement of one air handler
unit and electronic controls at the Palm Beach County Governmental Center
Complex. The existing equipment is more than 20 years old, requires frequent
repairs and is increasingly difficult to ensure continued operation. The new
equipment will be of the latest technology, will increase the overall building
energy efficiency and will reduce long term operational and maintenance cost. This
work order, under the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Annual
Contract, was solicited pursuant to the requirements of the Office of Equal
Business Opportunity (OEBO). This work
was competitively bid among all contractors holding annual contracts with
Precision Air Systems Inc. submitting the lowest responsive bid. Precision Air Systems, Inc. is not an S/W/MBE
but is a Palm Beach County business.
The annual contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on
January 2, 2019 and a SBE Price Preference API was applied to all bids. The bidder achieved 0% SBE participation and
there are no subcontractors. The second
low bidder also had 0% SBE participation, and the only other bidder submitted a
bid that was greater than 10% of the low bid. The funding source for this work
is from the Public Building Improvement Fund.

SUMMARY:
The Library
Department has recognized a need to build a new branch location in the West
Boynton area, as the current West Boynton Library branch does not have room to
expand the building or increase parking capacity. The new library will relieve
demand on the existing branch and will serve the residents of the Canyon region
of Western Boynton Beach. The new ±6.5 acre civic Library site is on the south
side of Canyon Town Center at the corner of Lyons Road and Boynton Beach
Boulevard and will include a new one-story library consisting of approximately
30,000 square feet with a community meeting space and surface parking, a plaza,
monument sign, dumpster and chiller yard enclosures. The estimated construction
cost of the project is $12M. Colome & Associates Inc. is a business with a
Palm Beach County office and will be using all Palm Beach County
sub-consultants for the work. The solicitation for design professionals was
advertised on January 28, 2018 according to the SBE Ordinance in place at the
time, with final selection taking place on April 26, 2018. Colome & Associates is a SBE and agreed
to provide 37.5% SBE participation and 61% M/WBE participation for a total of

conditions under which the Participant can directly access the System, expired
on December 16, 2018. The Agreement
provides for two renewal options, each for a period of four years. The
Participant has approved a renewal to retroactively extend the term of the agreement

Amendment R2013-1417), adds interoperability of EMS common talk groups, and
adds the procedure to be followed to obtain a Federal Shared Encryption Key for
direct radio interoperability with federal agencies. The County’s System will not be utilized for
routine operational communications by the City. The terms of the Agreement are
standard and have been offered to all municipalities and local branches of
state and federal agencies and ambulance service providers with 800 MHz trunked
radio capabilities. There are no charges
associated with this Agreement. The City
is required to pay all costs associated with the City’s subscriber units and to
comply with the established operating procedures for the County’s System. This Agreement provides for an initial term

Kenwood and Glades Pioneer Parks located respectively in the Cities of South
Bay, Lake Worth and Belle Glade, establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for
construction management services for a period of 126 calendar days from the
notice to proceed.
SUMMARY: On July 11, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the
County’s Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Action Plan (R2017-0940) which included an allocation
in Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the Glades
Pioneer Park, Kenwood Estates Park and Crossroads Depot RV Park renovations in
the amount of $546,000. The seventh amendment
to the FY 2017-2018 Action Plan included additional funding for the park
projects in the amount of $301,139. The
Parks and Recreation Department (Parks) and Facilities Development and
Operations Department (FDO) are the implementing agencies for these public facility
projects. The Memorandums of Understanding
between the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability (DHES), Parks and
FDO require that an interdepartmental budget transfer be established to fund
Parks for eligible projects costs for the Glades Pioneer Park for $74,502,
Kenwood Estates Park for $87,876 and the Crossroads Depot RV project for
$138,761 (total $301,139). This budget
transfer and amendment is necessary to appropriate budget to process the
interdepartmental transfers. These are
CDBG Grant funds which require no local match. Amendment No. 1 authorizes
construction management services for the improvements to the South Bay, Kenwood
and Glades Pioneer Parks located in the Cities of South Bay, Lake Worth and
Belle Glade. The improvements to the three parks involve the replacement of
aging playground equipment, installation of family picnic shelters and grills,
the addition of support facilities including new sidewalks, curbing, benches,
bike racks, shade structures and landscaping. The site improvements will
additionally provide for ADA compliance as the existing sand surface in place
does not comply with ADA requirements. Funding for this project has been
provided by DHES under a grant from HUD to the County through the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The work was competitively solicited by Lebolo Construction Management,
Inc. utilizing the Federal Requirements provided by DHES/ Parks and Recreation
Department. The budget transfer will
fund construction costs for the improvements to the three parks projects. The
total project construction duration is 126 days from the notice to proceed. The
Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal established
for the project is 22.4% minority and 6.9% female participation. Lebolo
Construction Management Inc. participation for this amendment is 65% minority
and 7% female participation. Lebolo Construction Management, Inc. is a Palm

motion to approve: a second addendum to Authorized Provider
Agreement, R2016-1888 dated December 20, 2016, with the American National Red
Cross (Red Cross) to allow the County to participate as one of 50 communities
nationwide in the Red Cross Aquatic Centennial Initiative program to provide
swimming lessons to underserved populations. SUMMARY: The
Red Cross is celebrating 100 years of Water Safety. Palm Beach County was identified by
the Red Cross in 2014 as a target market for the Aquatic Centennial Initiative
to reduce the number of drownings in America.
This program is designed to promote awareness of and access to the Red
Cross Water Safety education and training in identified communities where the
drowning rate is above the national average. Over the past couple of reporting
cycles, there has been a slight, but steady decrease in reported drownings
countywide per 100,000 residents even with a growing population. Although we are unable to determine the exact
percentage this program has contributed to the decline in drownings, we do know
this agreement with the Red Cross has allowed us to conduct approximately 200
additional lessons annually and people who learn to swim are much less likely
to drown. This second addendum allows Palm Beach County to continue to
participate in the final year of the three-year Red Cross Aquatics Centennial
Initiative. Participation in this initiative will
help generate and retain enrollment in our swimming lessons, provide hands-on
CPR and rescue skills to parents and caregivers, and ultimately help reduce the
number of drownings in our community. The Red Cross Program not only teaches
how to swim, but also teaches safe ways to help others who may be in trouble in
the water. As a participant in the initiative, the County will receive support
for program fees for participants in swimming lessons as well as lifeguard
training and water safety instructor programs.
The Red Cross will also provide the teaching and marketing materials at
no cost to the County. Countywide (AH)

motion to receive and file: an
Aquatic Examiner Agreement with the American National Red Cross (Red Cross) to

The Red Cross will provide the aquatic facilities a comprehensive,
objective evaluation of its safety and lifeguarding operations, with specific
recommendations for improvement. This includes unannounced on-site visits to
evaluate on-the-job lifeguard performance, including surveillance and rescue
skills. In addition, the Red Cross will provide three in-service

for the Public Safety Reentry Program and establish funding to the Palm Beach
County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) pursuant to special condition 59 in the grant
agreement to be used for PBSO to become NIBRS (National Incident-Based
Reporting System) compliant;
B) a budget amendment of $4,429 in the
Justice Services Grant Fund to reduce the transfer from the Criminal Justice
Grant Fund and reduce the appropriation budget; and
C) a budget amendment of $4,429 in the
Sheriff’s Grant Fund.
SUMMARY: On October 1, 2018, Palm Beach County
was awarded a Federal FY18 (County FY19) Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant (JAG) in the amount of $147,611 for the period October 1, 2018
through September 30, 2019. This grant (2018-DJ-BX-0606) was accepted on
October 10, 2018 by the Executive Director of the CJC, in accordance with
approval granted on August 14, 2018 in Board Agenda Item 3Q-3 later received
and filed by the Board pursuant to R2018-1805.
Special condition 59 of the JAG grant agreement requires that at least
three percent of the total amount of this award be dedicated to achieving full
compliance with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) NIBRS. PBSO will
utilize these funds to support the implementation of a new records management
system that will be NIBRS compliant. The
Reentry Program was created by the CJC and now operates under the County’s
Public Safety Department. This program provides transitional services to
juveniles and adults reentering society from jail and prison. The reduction in
funding to the Reentry Program will be offset by other funding sources
resulting in no impact to level of service.
In 2016, the FBI formally announced its intention to sunset the Uniform
Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s traditional Summary Reporting System and
replace it with the UCR Program’s NIBRS by January 1, 2021. The FBI intends for
NIBRS to be the law enforcement crime data reporting standard for the nation.
Currently all municipalities and PBSO report crime under the FBI’s UCR Program
to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) which is designated by the
FBI as Florida’s Statistical Analysis Center (SAC). FDLE is currently working
on NIBRS compliance requirements to be promulgated to municipal police
departments and sheriff’s offices in Florida. No local match is required for this grant. Countywide (DC)

date. SUMMARY: The purpose of
this ordinance is to clarify the County’s regulation of short-term rental
units, as defined in Palm Beach County Ordinance No. 95-30, as amended. This amendment is recommended due to current
litigation involving Hosting Platform/Booking Service companies, the County and
Tax Collector. The League of Cities concurred
with adoption of this ordinance at its April 24, 2019 meeting. Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a resolution authorizing the conveyance of a 303 square foot parcel of
land located on the south side of Blue Heron Boulevard, east of Phil Foster
Park, in Riviera Beach, to Singer Island Gateway, LLC (Gateway) for $9,000 with
reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and
exploration pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 270.11; and
B)
approve a County Deed in
favor of Gateway.
SUMMARY: The subject 303 square foot parcel is
approximately 3′ wide and 100′ long and is located on the south
side of Blue Heron Boulevard, east of Phil Foster Park in Riviera Beach. The
County and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) jointly filed an Order
of Taking for this 3-foot strip in November 1972 and in 1986 received a
Stipulated Final Judgement (Judgement) against Gateway’s predecessors in
interest. The 3′ strip was required for State Road A-1-A (Blue Heron
Boulevard) Right-of-Way and is no longer required by FDOT or the County.
Gateway is in the process of developing its property and has requested that the
County and FDOT convey the 3′ strip back to them since it is not required
for the right-of-way. The assessed value of the property is $11,185. Staff was
not able to obtain any documentation to support that the County funded any of
the expense associated with condemnation of this 3′ strip and believes
FDOT paid all costs of acquiring this strip as part of the Blue Heron Boulevard
right-of-way project. FDOT has already released their interest in this 3′
strip for the appraised value of $9,000.
Gateway has agreed to pay the County $9,000 for release of the County’s
interest. In total, Gateway will have
paid $18,000, which far exceeds the $11,185 assessed value and the FDOT’s 2018
$9,000 appraised value. Gateway and FDOT are the only property owners that have
property which abuts this 3′ strip and could use it. The County will sell
its interest in this 3′ strip pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 125.35
(2). The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with
Florida Statutes Section 270.11, but will not retain rights of entry and
exploration. The County’s Roadway Production Division has reviewed the request
and have no objection to the conveyance. This
conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners).

motion to:
A)
adopt a resolution
authorizing a second amendment to Concessionaire Service Agreement dated June
19, 2012 (R2012-0892), as amended, with Kayak-King Watersports, Inc. (KKW), for
the continued operation of a water sports and recreational rental concession at
Okeeheelee Park on a month to month basis commencing July 1, 2019, until
terminated at an annual rate of $7,320.06 ($610.01/monthly);
B)
approve a second amendment
to Concessionaire Service Agreement (R2012-0892) with Kayak-King Watersports,
Inc.(KKW); and
C) delegate authority
to terminate the Concessionaire Service Agreement to the County Administrator
or designee.
SUMMARY:
Kayak-King Watersports, Inc. (KKW) has operated its concession at
Okeeheelee Park under this existing Concessionaire Service Agreement
(R2012-0892) since July 2012. On May 2, 2017, the Board approved the first
amendment (R2017-0550) exercising the second and final two year option, which
expires on June 30, 2019. Pending implementation of the County’s new
Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance, the issuance of a new Request for
Proposals (RFP) has been delayed. Rather than close the concession
building until a new concessionaire agreement is awarded, KKW has agreed to
continue to provide concession services until such time the RFP process is
completed and a new agreement is awarded. Staff believes it to be in the
County’s best interest to extend the agreement with KKW. This second amendment
extends the term of the agreement on a month-to-month basis commencing July 1,
2019 until terminated. The annual rent will remain at $7,320.06
($610.01/monthly). This second amendment also updates the non-discrimination
and insurance provisions. The County may terminate the agreement at any
time upon 15 days’ notice to KKW. All other terms and conditions of the agreement
shall remain in full force and effect. Parks will continue to have
administrative responsibility for this agreement. (PREM) District 2 (HJF)
3. Staff requests
board direction: regarding the lease agreement with LJL Food
Management, Inc., d/b/a Tina’s Cafe (R2002-0829). SUMMARY: On
January 15, 2019, the Board approved a sixth amendment (R2019-0155) which would
extend the term for one year through January 31, 2020 rather than conduct a new
Request for Proposals (RFP). Tina’s Café is unwilling to accept a simple one-year
extension. While Tina’s has indicated they plan to do $50,000 in renovations
and a one year extension does not provide sufficient time for Tina’s to recoup
their investment, it has not provided staff with any documentation as to the
improvements to be made or the length of extension desired. If the Board
desires to further extend the term of the lease, Board direction will be
required on the following terms: i)
length of extension; ii) minimum
required level of investment in improvements; iii) a deadline for completing said improvements; and iv) the rental rate. (PREM) Countywide (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Data Sharing Agreement with the Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity; and
B) delegation of authority to the County Administrator or designee to
execute future amendments to said Agreement.
SUMMARY: Under this three-year agreement, the County will be able to obtain
detailed census information on employment and wages at no cost. The Department of Housing and Economic
Sustainability (DHES) uses this information to perform economic impact analyses
for proposed projects in terms of job creation and gross domestic product. Since this information is not publicly
available, the agreement is needed to establish guidelines for receiving
confidential Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data including
confidential Reemployment Assistance Program data. The QCEW provides data such
as: the number of employers or reporting units, monthly employment, average
employment, total wages, and average wages by the North American Industry
Classification System. Countywide (JB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
a tri-party agreement with the Mary Alice
Fortin Child Care Foundation, Inc. (MAFCCF) and the Palm Beach County Housing
Authority (PBCHA), related to the continued operation of the childcare center
at New South Bay Villas. SUMMARY: Staff recommends Board of County
Commissioners’ approval of the agreement, which will consent to MAFCCF’s
continued operation of a childcare center on the site of the PBCHA’s New South
Bay Villas property. PBCHA owns the
property, located at 110 Harrelle Drive in South Bay, where in 2013 they received
assistance from the County through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)
and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for acquisition and
housing rehabilitation. The tri-party agreement is a Non-Disturbance and
Attornment Agreement, which means that the County will not interfere with the
PBCHA/MAFCCF lease, and provides that if the County acquires the property
through foreclosure, it will honor the existing lease. Additionally, the agreement provides the
County’s formal consent to the lease between PBCHA and MAFCCF, and the use of
the portion of the property for the purposes of the childcare center. The County holds three Declarations of
Restrictions (DORs) recorded against the property which were taken to secure
the funding assistance and which require the provision of affordable housing
for low and moderate-income persons. Since PBCHA’s acquisition of the property,
MAFCCF has informally operated a childcare center in a non-residential section
of the property providing free services to approximately 50 local
children. PBCHA and MAFCCF have executed
a lease to memorialize the terms for continued operation of the childcare
center. Staff has no objections to the lease between MAFCCF and PBCHA, and
recommends approval and execution of the tri-party agreement. District 6

motion to:
A) adopt a resolution of
the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing
the conveyance of certain real residential property to the Community Land Trust
of Palm Beach County, Inc., pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 125.38,
without charge and with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but
without rights of entry and exploration; and providing for an effective date; and
B) approve a County Deed in favor of the Community Land Trust of Palm Beach County,
Inc. (CLT) conveying a residential property at 4462 Davis Road in
unincorporated Palm Beach County.
SUMMARY: Staff recommends Board of County Commissioners’ approval of the donation
of land to the CLT, a Florida not-for-profit corporation. The property is a
1.0033-acre vacant residential property located at 4462 Davis Road in
unincorporated Palm Beach County (PCN: 00-43-44-30-01-057-0040). The property escheated to the County in
November 1999 pursuant to Section 197.502(8), Florida Statutes. The appraised value of the property is $220,000. The Property Review Committee was not
required to review the conveyance in accordance with PPM CW-L-23 since the
appraised value is less than $250,000.
The CLT has successfully implemented both single-family and multi-family
housing projects and has an established track record in the affordable housing
arena in Palm Beach County using the community land trust model for
homeownership projects. The CLT is proposing to develop at least four
affordable attached single-family homes each with three bedrooms, two bathrooms
and a one car garage. The homes will be offered for sale using the CLT model
whereby the homebuyer enters into a 99-year land lease and purchases the
improvements to the property while the CLT holds title to the land in
perpetuity for purposes of affordable housing.
The homes will be sold to families earning no more than 120% of Area
Median Income and the anticipated sales price for buyers will not exceed
$245,000. The Board should be cognizant that as a result of the County’s
affordability restrictions on the property, the units cannot be used to meet a
Workforce Housing Program (WHP) obligation. Mineral and petroleum rights on
the property will be retained by the County in accordance with Florida Statutes
Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. Approval of this item will convey
County-owned property to the CLT and result in an increase in the County’s
affordable housing stock. Pursuant to the PREM Ordinance, a Supermajority
Vote of five Commissioners is required to approve the conveyance. District

motion to approve:
A) an Economic
Development Incentive Agreement (Agreement) with ORBCOMM, LLC (Company), to
provide a cash grant in an amount not to exceed $19,200 over a five year
period;
B) a budget transfer
of $19,200 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves to the Economic Development
Fund; and
C) a budget amendment
of $19,200 in the Economic Development Fund to recognize the funds from the
General Fund.
SUMMARY: Staff is recommending approval of an Economic Development Incentive
Agreement with ORBCOMM, LLC. On October
16, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved
(R2018-1679) an Economic Development Incentive (Incentive) for the Company
totaling $19,200. This Agreement
discloses the name of the Company, ORBCOMM, LLC, previously referred to as Project
Saturn. The Company is a single source
provider of multi-network connectivity, devices, and applications for a variety
of industries including transportation and distribution, oil and gas, and heavy
equipment. The Agreement requires the
Company to make a minimum capital investment of $580,000 to lease, renovate,
and equip an 11,500 square foot facility.
The Company shall create 32 new jobs over a two-year period. These new jobs must have an annualized
average wage of $76,647 excluding benefits and a median wage of $65,000
excluding benefits. The Company is
required to maintain the new jobs for three years from the date this Agreement
becomes effective. The five-year economic impact is estimated to be $51.7
Million. The Agreement incorporates Economic Development Incentive program
policy changes approved by the BCC on April 16, 2019. These changes include reducing the
maintenance period for new and retained jobs from five to three years and
eliminating the County’s audit requirement; and accepting the State’s audit
requirement. The Agreement requires a
performance security in the form of either a clean, irrevocable Letter of
Credit or Cash Bond equal to the full amount of the maximum Incentive to be
awarded to the Company. In addition, the
Agreement states that in the event the Company fails to satisfy job creation
requirements but fulfills all other applicable requirements, the Company shall
forfeit a pro-rata share of the Incentive amount due for the number of jobs
created. If the Company’s fulfillment of
the job creation requirement falls below 80%, the County has the right, in its
sole discretion to terminate the Agreement. The State of Florida approved a
Qualified Target Industry (QTI) tax refund for the Company in the amount of
$192,000. Of this amount, $153,600 is from the State of Florida and $38,400 is
a required match from local government entities. The Company and the State are entering into
an agreement for the QTI tax refund. The
required $38,400 match to the QTI tax refund will be split equally between Palm
Beach County ($19,200) and the City of Boca Raton ($19,200). The Palm Beach
County match will be provided in the form of a cash grant in an amount not to
exceed $19,200 over a five year period provided the project meets the requirements
under Florida Statute 196.012. District 4 (DB)

Bonds (Grandview Preparatory School, Inc. Project) Series 2019 in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (Bonds);
B) conduct a Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibilities Act (TEFRA) public hearing pursuant to Section 147(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended, concerning the proposed issuance of the
Bonds; and
C)
adopt a resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida: (I) authorizing the issuance of the County's Revenue Bonds (Grandview
Preparatory School, Inc. Project), Series 2019 (the Bonds) for the purpose of
providing funds to make a loan to Grandview Preparatory School, Inc. (the
Borrower) to provide funds to finance certain costs incurred by the Borrower in
connection with the private school facilities operated by the Borrower and to
pay the costs of issuing the Bonds; (II) authorizing the execution of a
Financing Agreement; (III) awarding the sale of the Bonds by a negotiated sale;
(IV) authorizing officials of the County to take certain action in connection
with the issuance of the Bonds; (V) making certain other covenants and
agreements in connection with the issuance of the Bonds; and (VI) providing an
effective date.
SUMMARY: The
Borrower has applied for the issuance of industrial development revenue bonds
by the County in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000. Bond proceeds will be used to finance the
acquisition of real and personal property currently leased by the
Borrower. Grandview Preparatory School,
located on a 7.46 acre campus at 336 Spanish River Blvd., NW, in Boca Raton,
serves 250 students in grades pre-K through 12. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County, nor

motion to:
A) approve the acquisition of four parcels of land (Parcels) in the Brooks
Subdivision site, located in Riviera Beach;
B) conceptually approve an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the City of Riviera Beach
(City);
C) delegate authority to the County Administrator or designee to execute the
Agreement with the City of Riviera Beach and any amendments to the Agreement,
along with any documents necessary to complete the acquisition; and
D) authorize the expenditure of up to $130,000 to be used for the acquisition of the
Parcels.
SUMMARY: Staff recommends Board of County Commissioners’ (BCC) approval to expend
up to $130,000 to acquire the Parcels and execute the Agreement with the City
to complete the County’s ownership of the entire subdivision. Brooks Subdivision is a single-family,
mixed-income affordable housing development that was not completed, and remains
vacant. It is comprised of 22 parcels,
including 18 parcels currently owned by the County and the Parcels currently
owned by Prodigy Capital (Prodigy). On
April 10, 2018, the BCC authorized the expenditure of up to $120,000 (Agenda
Item 5C-1) to acquire the Parcels through the tax deed process with the maximum
amount of the bid not to exceed the appraised value totaling $98,000. The County was not successful in the bid for
$98,000 and the Parcels were acquired by Prodigy for $108,500 via a Tax Deed
Sale on July 18, 2018. The Parcels are
encumbered by multiple code enforcement liens and a mortgage in favor of the
City in the amount of $500,000 (the Mortgage), both of which remained in place
after the tax deed sale process. The
City and County have reached a proposed settlement with Prodigy to acquire the
Parcels for $130,000. The purchase price
of $130,000 exceeds the $98,000 appraisal value by $32,000 or 33%. If the settlement offer is accepted, the
County would contribute $120,000 toward the purchase and the remaining $10,000
would be contributed by the City. The
City would also process the satisfaction of Mortgage which was conceptually
approved by the Riviera Beach City Council on May 15, 2019. At that meeting, as part of the project, the
Council requested the County consider establishing an outreach and first-time
homebuyer initiative focused on income-eligible teachers, City residents and
employees. Contingent on Board approval, staff will finalize the Agreement to
define the terms and conditions for the contributions toward the purchase of the
Parcels, satisfaction of the Mortgage along with the outreach initiative. After the Agreement is executed, staff will
then proceed with the purchase of the Parcels from Prodigy and utilize the
remaining $10,000 from the County for updated title searches, title insurance
policies, updated appraisals, and recording costs. The funding for the
acquisitions and all expenses related thereto is from the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program. This transaction requires a
supermajority (5 votes) for approval. These are State grant funds which
require no local match. District 7 (HJF)

for the creation of the Uniform Addressing System. SUMMARY: In 1974, the BCC adopted a resolution
establishing a set of policies and procedures for house numbering and street
naming in Palm Beach County. In 1991, the resolution was amended to include
Vanity Street Name changes. The proposed resolution will eliminate duplication

an Addressing Section which has the responsibility of assigning addresses to
buildings at the time of platting, submittal of a building permit application,
and to fix discrepancies. Addresses are created based on a grid system specific
to Palm Beach County where the number increases from east to west and north and
south of Southern Boulevard. PZB Addressing also assigns street names based on

E. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on
Tuesday, June 18, 2019, at 9:30 a.m.: an ordinance repealing and
replacing Palm Beach County Code, Section 25-1, and Ordinance No. 96-9, as
amended, establishing a new Garbage and Yard Waste Collection Ordinance in Palm
Beach County, Florida; providing for title; applicability; repeal of laws in
conflict; severability; inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and
effective date. SUMMARY: The repeal and
replacement of Palm Beach County Code, Section 25-1, and Ordinance No. 96-9 is
necessary due to the increase in population and development in Palm Beach
County that has resulted in the need for new and improved methods of collection
through automation and a need for better efficiency in collection while
maintaining a high level of service throughout the County. New, larger garbage
carts will be provided to the public that will also assist the haulers in
maintaining an orderly, timely and consistent schedule for the collection of
garbage and yard waste. The new ordinance will also limit the time that garbage
and yard waste will remain at the collection point and in public view. Countywide

from Palm Beach, Martin, Hendry, Glades and Okeechobee Counties held a public meeting
to discuss local government interests as stakeholders in the management of Lake
Okeechobee. The letter to the US Army
Corps of Engineers/South Florida Water Management District highlights what the
five counties agree on which are the fundamental principles for future
management of Lake Okeechobee. All of
the counties are vested in completing CERP as its projects will bring about
significant improvements in water quality, quantity and timing that will result
in substantial progress towards resolving the current challenges in water
management. More specifically, management that occasionally allows for aquatic
vegetation growth which contributes the highest value water quality treatment
in the Lake at frequencies supported by science must be a high consideration. The Counties are supportive of the
development of the new Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual (LOSOM). The Counties agree that LOSOM should take
into account the concerns from both coastal communities as well as the concerns
from the communities surrounding Lake Okeechobee. The second letter is an
invitation to the co-chairs of the Everglades Caucus to meet with the County
Commissioners, visit the communities and economies that are affected by Lake
Okeechobee operations, and share items of mutual concern. Countywide
