10 3A-1 REVISED MOTION
AND SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to approve: Consultant
Services Authorization (CSA) No. 11 for Loxahatchee River Restoration Local
Initiative and Mecca Site Evaluation with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.,
(Consultant) for a fixed price of $235,586 $199,956. SUMMARY: The cumulative SBE and M/WBE
participation is 23.85% 20.90% SBE and 1.97% 1.73%
M/WBE. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., is headquartered in Raleigh, North
Carolina but maintains an office in Palm Beach County from which the majority
of the work under CSA No. 11 will be undertaken. (WUD Project No. 19-060)
26 3H-5 MOVED TO

47 5A-5 REVISED
SUMMARY: Staff is requesting the Board of County Commissioners’ (BCC)
approval to submit a request to HUD
to convert $2,000,000 of NSP1
program income to CDBG funds. Staff is
further requesting the BCC to approve the allocation of the CDBG conversion
funds for the Gramercy Park Community Center ($1,500,000) project and the Royal
Palm Lakes apartment demolition project ($500,000). In 2009, the County received a $27 Million
NSP1 grant and used the funds for acquisition, rehabilitation, and
redevelopment of foreclosed, abandoned, and vacant residential properties. To
date, through the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability successful
operation of NSP1 mortgage and acquisition/rehabilitation activities, the
program has accumulated approximately $4.9 Million of NSP1 program income. HUD has developed a process to allow the
conversion of NSP1 program income to CDBG funds which would allow entitlement
municipalities to then utilize those funds for activities such as construction
of public facilities and demolition, clearance, site preparation, site
improvements and related activities; which are not eligible under the NSP1
Program. Staff is working on a plan for the use of the remaining $2.9 Million
NSP1 program income funds and will bring a workshop item to the Board at a
later date. The Royal Palm Lakes project may entails the
demolition, clearance, site preparation and site improvement of a
deteriorated residential property located at 1749 East Main Street in Pahokee;
as well as, potential acquisition of an adjacent property. This Royal Palm Lakes, a 3-acre,
42-unit apartment complex, is currently subject to the County’s foreclosure on
a HOME Investment Partnership Program mortgage that funded rehabilitation of
the property in 1996. (HES)

SUMMARY: The proposed
millage rates for Countywide, Library, and Fire Rescue MSTU are at the current
year millage rate and above rollback. The millage rate for the Jupiter Fire
MSTU is slightly above the current year millage rate and rollback. These millage rates are not-to-exceed rates,
and may be lowered but not raised at the September public hearings. Countywide (DB) (Budget)
49 5E-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to authorize: the
Mayor to sign two letters: one addressed to the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) urging consideration of funding for a restudy of the Central and
Southern Florida Flood Control Project and one addressed to the South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing Board encouraging the Governing
Board to retain the current millage rate to provide adequate revenue for
meeting level of service and flood protection responsibilities. SUMMARY: Maintaining a fully functional
regional water management system in the face of rising sea levels and
intensifying rainfall events will require significant investment in
assessments, resilience studies, adaptation design, and resilient
infrastructure in Southeast Florida. The four counties that comprise the
Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact are uniting in support of
these objectives by jointly signing letters to the USACE and SFWMD Governing
Board. The first letter, which will be substantially similar or identical to
Attachment 1, urges the USACE to consider funding a restudy of the Central and
Southern Florida Flood Control Project to help Southeast Florida prepare for
future water management challenges and maintain levels of service for current
and future flood protection. The second letter, which will be substantially
similar or identical to Attachment 2, urges the Governing Board of the SFWMD to
retain the current millage rate for Fiscal Year 2019–2020. The letter contends
that, compared to the rolled-back rate that has been implemented for the last
eight fiscal years, the fiscal impact of the current millage rate on individual
taxpayers will be minimal while providing significant and acutely needed
revenue for the SFWMD Flood Protection and Level of Service Program. Countywide

motion to approve: Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 11 for Loxahatchee River
Restoration Local Initiative and Mecca Site Evaluation with Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc., (Consultant) for a fixed price of $235,586 $199,956.
SUMMARY: On July 11, 2017, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the Water Utilities Department Contract for
Consulting/Professional Services for Water Treatment and Water Resources
Engineering Services (Contract) (R2017-0903) with Consultant. CSA No. 11
provides for professional engineering services to prepare technical information
on the feasibility of additional alternatives that address County concerns with
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Loxahatchee River Watershed
Restoration Project (Loxahatchee Project), specifically the deep storage
reservoir proposed for the Mecca site. This Contract was procured under the
requirements of the 2002 Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance (R2002-0064)
prior to the adoption of the amended Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance on
October 16, 2018. The SBE participation goal established under the 2002
Ordinance was 15% overall participation. The Contract provides for 28% SBE
participation and 7% Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation.
CSA No. 11 includes 0% SBE and 0% M/WBE participation. The cumulative SBE and
M/WBE participation is 23.85% 20.90% SBE and 1.97% 1.73%
M/WBE. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., is headquartered in Raleigh, North
Carolina but maintains an office in Palm Beach County from which the majority
of the work under CSA No. 11 will be undertaken. (WUD Project No. 19-060)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a resolution supporting the construction of two
honorary designation markers on S.R. 91/Florida’s Turnpike between mile marker
100 and mile marker 105 in honor of fallen troopers, Herman T. Morris and
Frederick J. Groves, Jr. SUMMARY: On June 4, 2019, the Board of County
Commissioners authorized a recommendation by Vice Mayor Kerner to support a
resolution, to construct honorary designation markers for Herman T. Morris and
Frederick J. Groves, Jr. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), per
the passage of House Bill 385 during the 2019 legislative session, has been
directed to erect two markers designating the portion of S.R. 91/Florida’s
Turnpike between mile marker 100 and mile marker 105 (Roadway) as “Troopers
Herman T. Morris and Frederick J. Groves, Jr. Memorial Highway”. State law
requires the local governing board to pass a resolution in this circumstance in
order for designation markers to be constructed on roads in the county. The
roadway is within FDOT’s jurisdictional limits, and FDOT will be responsible
for the design, construction, and maintenance of the honorary designation. Countywide

3. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) receive and file the Public Transportation Grant Agreement G0357
Number 03 (Grant Agreement G0357);
B) receive and file the Public Transportation Grant Agreement G1726
(Grant Agreement G1726) between the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
and the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency in the amount of $693,402;

budget amendment in Fund 1360 in the amount of $693,402; and
D) approve a
budget transfer in Fund 0001 to provide a 10% program match in the amount of
$69,340.
SUMMARY: Grant Agreement G0357
is included in the FY 2019 budget and is now submitted to be received and
filed. FDOT restructured the
administration process for the Section 5305d program to provide recurring
annual funding via new grant agreements each fiscal year. Grant Agreement G1726 is the first agreement
in this revised process. Both grants
have a required 10% local match which is provided by the Palm Beach County
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) pursuant to interlocal agreement with the
TPA. Countywide (DR)

C. ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment
One to the contract with Florida Safety Contractors, Inc. (FSCI) (R2018-0977)
dated July 10, 2018, for the construction of overhead flashing school zone
signs (Project). SUMMARY: Approval
of Amendment One to the contract will allow corrections to the Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise goal percentage, remove any reference to the Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) program, and update the language in section 105-1.2.3 of the
General Provisions. The Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) was audited by the Federal Highway Administration
and, based upon the audit findings, requested that Palm Beach County (County)
amend the Project’s contract to be in compliance with all federal requirements.
FSCI, a Hillsborough County based company, began construction of the Project in
2018. The proposed work will add six
overhead flashing school zone signs at five schools throughout the County. On September 12, 2017, the Board of County
Commissioners approved a Local Agency Program Agreement (R2017-1209) with FDOT
whereby the FDOT granted the County $591,941 toward the construction of the
Project. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2019. Neither SBE nor Equal Business Opportunity
compliance is applicable due to federal funding restrictions. Districts 2, 3

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Work Order 2018051-42 in the amount of
$550,000 to mill and resurface Camino Real from Powerline Road to Military
Trail utilizing Palm Beach County’s (County) annual asphalt milling and
resurfacing contract R2018-1533 (Contract) with Ranger Construction Industries,
Inc. (Ranger); and
B) Work Order 2018051-43 in the amount of
$360,000 to mill and resurface Loxahatchee River Road from Center Street to the
north county line utilizing the County’s Contract with Ranger.
SUMMARY: Per County
PPM CW-F-050, these work orders exceed the $200,000 threshold for staff
approvals of work orders to annual contracts, thus requiring approval from the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC).
Approval of these work orders will allow the contractual services
necessary to construct the improvements. Prior to these work orders, approximately
$8 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

motion to approve:
A) an amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan approved by the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) on April 4, 2017, to increase the budget for the Jog Road
from Lake Ida Road to Boynton Beach Boulevard resurfacing project (Project) from
$1,800,000 to $2,200,000; and
B)
a budget transfer of $400,000 within the Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund from reserves to
increase the budget for
the Project.
SUMMARY: Approval of the amendment and budget transfer will increase the funding for the Project from $1,800,000
to $2,200,000. The increase in funding is due
to additional traffic loop repair costs and higher unit construction costs in our annual construction contracts. The $400,000 increase will be transferred from the Engineering Department’s IST Reserve account.

motion to approve: Work Order 2018051-31 in the amount of $556,000 to
mill and resurface the residential streets within the Juno Isles subdivision
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 improvement. Prior to this work order, approximately $9 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

provide milling and resurfacing of County roadways for countywide projects.

for the Hyder AGR PUD (Project) for improvements made by GL Homes (Developer)
to Lyons Road from the L-38 Canal north to the L-37 Canal (Lyons Road
improvements). SUMMARY: The
Developer requests an impact fee credit for the Lyons Road improvements. At the time the Project was approved by the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) by Resolution R2014-0730, the County had
initiated the design to expand Lyons Road in accordance with the Five Year Road
Program. The County and the Developer discussed an agreement in which the
Developer would construct the Lyons Road improvements and receive a credit
against impact fees due for the cost. While there was no disagreement in
concept to this plan, the agreement was never completed. Meanwhile, the
Developer, which had been tasked with constructing left and right turn lanes on
Lyons Road as part of its development order, proceeded to construct the Lyons
Road improvements at the same time. The improvements for which the impact fee
credit is sought were constructed by the Developer in 2014 and 2015. Article 13 of the Unified Land Development
Code (Article 13) details criteria for awarding impact fee credits. Because these improvements were not required
to meet Palm Beach County’s Traffic Performance Standards (TPS), credits can
only be awarded by the BCC. District 5 (LB)

Catholic Charities will provide homeless prevention services through case
management, financial assistance with rent/mortgage and utility payments. These
services will assist at-risk families from becoming homeless and remain stably
housed. During FY 2016-2018, financial assistance was provided to 307

services. The grant will provide financial assistance to homeless and at-risk
homeless households to assist with their rent/mortgage and utilities. Households
will receive monthly case management to avoid homelessness and maintain stable
housing. This will serve approximately 72 households annually with financial
assistance to pay their rent/mortgage and/or utilities that are past due. All
funds must be expended no later than June 30th of each state fiscal

motion to:
A) approve a budget amendment of $1,129,700 in the Public Building Improvement Fund
recognizing revenue received and to increase the Forensic Sciences and
Technology Facility project budget account; and
B) authorize the transfer of all assets, purchased pursuant to the project, to the
Sheriff at completion of construction for tracking, maintenance and
renewal/replacement.
SUMMARY: This budget amendment establishes
the project budget for the County to purchase and install furniture for the new
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) Forensic Sciences and Technology
Facility. While all of these purchases
are the responsibility of the County, historically the Board has placed the
funds needed for the purchase of non-fixed equipment in the Sheriff’s budget so
that the PBSO is responsible for the ordering, tracking, maintenance renewal
and replacement of such items. Fixed equipment is purchased, tracked and
maintained by Facilities Development and Operations (FDO). PBSO and County
staff have determined that it is in the best interests of both parties to have
the procurement of the furniture undertaken by the County to ensure the proper
coordination between the specification and construction preparation in terms of
installation and delivery. At the
completion of construction, staff is recommending that all assets purchased
from this funding be transferred back to the Sheriff for tracking, maintenance
and renewal/ replacement. (FDO Admin) Countywide/District 2 (LDC)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an increase in the maximum dollar value of
the Minor Construction annual contracts by $1,500,000 for general construction

SUMMARY: On February 3,
2015, the Board initially approved the annual Minor Construction contracts for
an initial term of one year, with four renewal options each for a period of one
year, at the sole option of the County. During the first four years of the
Contract, the County awarded $8,080,597.92 in work orders. Staff is requesting the cumulative limit be
increased by $1,500,000 for a total cumulative value of $10,500,000 in order to
accommodate the current and anticipated projects expected to be accomplished
between now and February 2020, the contract expiration. Work is to be awarded
as work orders on a lump-sum, competitively quoted basis among the pool of 17
pre-qualified contractors. Since contractors are able to become pre-qualified
and join the bidding pool at any time, the large increase in contract capacity
is not anti-competitive. The annual
contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on January 2, 2019 and an
API of Sheltered Market was applied for projects under $100,000. S/M/WBE actual
participation will be identified on each work order, and will be tracked
cumulatively for each work order issued. Current cumulative S/M/WBE

Project (ACC R/R/R) located at 7100 Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach for a
period of three years or until the construction achieves final completion; and
B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute Consultant Services
Authorization (CSA) No. 1 in an amount not to exceed $200,000.
SUMMARY: The ACC R/R/R
Project is located on a +/-13.74 acre site located at 7100 Belvedere Road in
West Palm Beach. The Facility was constructed in the early 1990’s and has
remained in continuous operation ever since. In 2017, as part of the County’s
Infrastructure Sales Tax initiative, $21,000,000 was identified for the ACC
R/R/R Project that was to begin in 2019 and would renew and replace base
building systems but also include the construction, dedication or re-assignment
of space to create indoor/outdoor facilities, dedicated lobbies, specialized
storage and efficient site access/circulation in order to properly address the
facilities daily operational requirements. On January 29, 2019, the Board held
a workshop and directed staff to prepare a more in-depth programming study
(Comparative Study) which: 1) validates/confirms the program/needs, and 2)
specifically looks at opportunities, challenges and costs, including continuity
of operations during construction of an entirely new facility on the existing
site versus accomplishing the project via the R/R/R approach currently
contemplated. The Comparative Study will be developed in conjunction with
public input via targeted public outreach sessions which will be facilitated by
the Consultant team. The results of the Comparative Study will be evaluated by
the County in order to determine the most appropriate solution (or some
combination) to be used as the scope of the project to be designed. Following
the Comparative Study, further professional services will include site
planning, programming, design, construction documents, permitting and
construction administration services. In
order to meet the schedule distributed on February 15, 2019 and authorize
consultant services for the Comparative Study prior to the first public input
meeting in mid-July, staff is requesting authorization for the County
Administrator to execute CSA No. 1. The prime design consultant PGAL, Inc. was selected under Board adopted procedures
for this project. To ensure that the specific and unique design considerations
necessary for this project are incorporated, PGAL, Inc. has engaged, as a sub-consultant, Animal
Arts, a nationally recognized design firm that specializes exclusively in
animal care facilities. PGAL, Inc. is a business with a Palm Beach County
office and will be using eight Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and
Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Palm Beach County sub-consultants
for the work. The solicitation for design professionals was advertised on March
17, 2019 according to the Equal Business Opportunity Program, with the final selection
taking place on May 29, 2019. The Goal
Setting Committee on March 6, 2019 established an Affirmative Procurement
Initiatives (API) requiring a minimum mandatory goal of 20% SBE participation.

Navigation Center is a resource-based one-stop unit to direct clients to the
various programs to meet their specific needs. It serves to match clients with
specific agencies both internal and external to the Lewis Center and was a
critical part of the original programming for the facility. Funding for this
project has been provided by from the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) Program in the amount of $254,000, which requires no local match. The
work was competitively solicited by Lebolo Construction Management, Inc.
utilizing the Federal Requirements provided by Department of Housing &
Economic Sustainability (DHES) and the bid came in higher than the estimate,
plus a contingency was added, which necessitated the additional funds and
budget transfer of $14,000. This project has a 22.4% minority and 6.9%

Year 2019 Annual Public Housing Authority Plan (APHAP). SUMMARY: Staff
recommends Board of County Commissioners’ (BCC) approval of the “Certification
by State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan
or State Consolidated Plan”. The
Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability (DHES) has reviewed the
PBCHA’s APHAP for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 and determined that the goals,
objectives and plans outlined therein are consistent with those outlined in the
Palm Beach County FY 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) requires the County to confirm that the plans and programs
outlined in their APHAP are consistent with those set forth in the County’s
Consolidated Plan. Confirmation of this
consistency is documented through a “Certification by State or Local Official
of PHA Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated
Plan.” The overall goal of the PBCHA is
to serve the housing needs of low-income, very low-income and extremely
low-income families by expanding and upgrading the supply and quality of its
assisted units. Specifically, the APHAP
will target available assistance to: households with incomes of no more than
30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and 50% of the AMI; the elderly; and
families with disabilities. The PBCHA
will also implement improved safety measures in its properties and will seek to
increase and geographically deconcentrate the number of housing units owned.
The County’s Fiscal Year 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan identified the need for
rental housing which is affordable to families with incomes of up to 80% AMI,
and acknowledged the need for more affordable rental housing for elderly and

Certain disputes have arisen between the County and Rohl in relation to
the Project, with the County asserting claims against Rohl related to the
untimely completion of the Project, certain construction defects, and other
issues. Rohl has asserted claims against
the County related to preexisting field conditions, construction drawings, and
other issues. In an effort to amicably
resolve the claims and avoid the risks and costs inherent in litigation, the
Agreement settles all claims related to the Construction Contract and the
Project and provides for a mutual release of all related claims. Under the
Agreement, the County agrees to pay Rohl $242,394.81 $242,394.89 as

of services with the below-listed agencies, for the period of July 2, 2019
through September 30, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $313,257 to provide
services to implement the PalmFUSE (Frequent Users Systems Engagement) Program
as part of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice
Challenge Grant to break the cycle of incarceration
and homelessness for frequent low-level defendants with behavioral health
challenges:
1. Gulfstream

2. The
Lord’s Place, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $156,629; and
B) authorize
the County Administrator or designee to execute any amendments relating to
these agreements, on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, after
approval of legal sufficiency by the County Attorney’s Office, and within
budget allocations.
SUMMARY: Palm
Beach County, via the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC), was awarded a
$2,000,000 grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
(Foundation) on October 2, 2017 for two years as a core site in the
Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge (R2017-1709). A no cost extension was
granted to September 30, 2020 (R2019-0452). PalmFUSE is one of the strategies
developed to reduce the jail population by identifying individuals admitted to
the jail three or more times in two years who also access homeless and
behavioral health services in the County. These individuals are the highest
utilizers of services in these systems with repeated assessments, use of jail
beds, and medical and behavioral health crisis services resulting in high costs
from the cycling through these systems with no clear path for ending their
cycle. From July 2016 through June 2017, Palm Beach County had 108 individuals
admitted to the jail three times or more who also accessed homeless services
within the County. These individuals used 5,648 jail bed days costing $762,480
(bed days x $135 per day). PalmFUSE seeks to stabilize these individuals in
rapid rehousing with wrap-around services. Funds will be used for housing and
case management services. The CJC and the Community Services Department (CSD)
created a cross-departmental partnership to serve these persons and leverage
departmental resources to accomplish three of the County Commission’s priority
areas of homelessness, substance use and behavior disorders, and public safety.
CSD specializes in homeless services and a majority of the clients identified
by CJC are also identified by CSD through street outreach and the Senator
Philip D. Lewis Center. CSD staff have participated in the planning meetings
facilitated by CJC staff and provide CJC access to the Client Management
Information System (CMIS) through the Homeless and Housing Alliance (HHA) to
identify clients. No local match is required for this grant. Countywide (LDC)

motion to approve: a budget transfer of $233,880 from the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO).
SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055(5) provides that the seizing agency
shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime prevention,
safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other
law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or
complex investigations, providing additional equipment or expertise, purchasing
automated external defibrillators, and providing matching grant funds. F.S.
932.7055(5) also requires that no less than 25% of the LETF’s previous year’s
revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse
education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school
resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY
2019 donation requirement is $177,018. The PBSO’s support of these programs
exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime
throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into
these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The year-to-date transfer for all donations to
outside organizations after approval of this item is $752,880. The funds requested are to aid PBSO and
qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055.
Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the Sheriff. The
current State LETF balance is $1,428,513. Approval of this request will reduce
the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,194,633. The
PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055.
Below is a table indicating the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the

public hearing for approval of the use of the Uniform Method of collecting
non-ad valorem special assessments provided for in Chapter 197, Florida
Statutes pursuant to the Notice of Intent adopted by Resolution 97-2152 and
Resolution 2011-1833;
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 2019 tax bill. Countywide (DB)

to approve:
A) submittal of a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), to convert
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 (NSP1) program income in the amount of
$2,000,000 to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds;
B) an allocation of $1,500,000 of the CDBG conversion funds for the
Gramercy Park Community Center project; and
C) an allocation of $500,000 of the CDBG conversion funds for the Royal
Palm Lakes project.
SUMMARY: Staff is
requesting the Board of County Commissioners’ (BCC) approval to submit a
request to HUD to convert $2,000,000 of NSP1 program
income to CDBG funds. Staff is further
requesting the BCC to approve the allocation of the CDBG conversion funds for
the Gramercy Park Community Center ($1,500,000) project and the Royal Palm
Lakes apartment demolition project ($500,000). In 2009, the County received a $27 Million
NSP1 grant and used the funds for acquisition, rehabilitation, and
redevelopment of foreclosed, abandoned, and vacant residential properties. To
date, through the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability successful
operation of NSP1 mortgage and acquisition/rehabilitation activities, the
program has accumulated approximately $4.9 Million of NSP1 program income. HUD has developed a process to allow the
conversion of NSP1 program income to CDBG funds which would allow entitlement
municipalities to then utilize those funds for activities such as construction
of public facilities and demolition, clearance, site preparation, site
improvements and related activities; which are not eligible under the NSP1
Program. Staff is working on a plan for the use of the remaining $2.9 Million
NSP1 program income funds and will bring a workshop item to the Board at a
later date. (NSP1 funds are a separate
allocation from the NSP2 funds the BCC recently approved for the Village of
Valor affordable-workforce housing project at the June 16th Board
meeting). The Gramercy Park
Community Center project dates back to 2015 and was put on hold due to a lack
of funding and a community partner. As
envisioned, the project would entail the construction of a 5,000 square foot
County facility within the existing County park located at 5615 Parke Avenue in
West Palm Beach. The Center would serve the immediate surrounding Gramercy Park
neighborhood by accommodating programs for local youth. If approved, the $1.5 Million would provide
funding for the project and enable the Parks & Recreation Department to
move forward with finalizing the development plans including identification of
a not-for-profit partner to operate the center.
The Royal Palm Lakes project may entails the demolition,
clearance, site preparation and site improvement of a deteriorated
residential property located at 1749 East Main Street in Pahokee; as well
as, potential acquisition of an adjacent property. This Royal Palm Lakes, a 3-acre,
42-unit apartment complex, is currently subject to the County’s foreclosure on
a HOME Investment Partnership Program mortgage that funded rehabilitation of the
property in 1996. The structural
condition of the property is poor, and rehabilitation is not viable due, in
part, to flooding and rain damage. Staff
anticipates that the foreclosure and relocation of the residents would be
completed prior to HUD’s completion of the conversion process. The demolition would be funded from the
existing Countywide CDBG Demolition Program which will be replenished once the
CDBG conversion funds are received. Staff is assessing alternatives for a
post-demolition redevelopment of the site with affordable housing and will
bring back a plan for discussion and direction from the Board at a future
workshop. These are federal NSP1/CDBG funds that require no local match. Countywide (HJF)

1. Staff requests
motion to approve:
A) proposed funding allocations for the
Economic Stability/Poverty, and Seniors service categories, under the
Financially Assisted Agencies (FAA) Program, for the period of October 1, 2019
through September 30, 2020, in a total amount not to exceed $1,779,637; and
B) recommended allocations for renewal funding in the Behavioral
Health and Special Needs/Developmental Disability, Homelessness and Domestic
Violence/Sheltering, and Non-competitive service categories under the FAA
Program, for the period of October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, in a
total amount not to exceed $11,519,870.
SUMMARY: This item provides the recommended FY
2020 funding allocations for the Financially Assisted Agencies Program. The FAA
recommendations in the Economic Stability/Poverty and Seniors categories
reflect the results of a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) process initiated
in March of this year. Community conversations were conducted in five (5)
county locations in October of 2018 to establish priorities in funding for the
Economic Stability/Poverty category. Community meetings with seniors were also
conducted in late 2017, and the results were used to establish funding
priorities in the Seniors category. A review panel met in April of this year to
review, score and rank the proposals. Allocations in the other FAA categories
are based on the prior year’s funding as this is a renewal year in the
three-year cycle for those categories. The total amount of funding being
allocated in this item is $13,299,507. Funding for these allocations is
included in the County Administrator’s proposed FY 2020 budget and is subject
to approval by the Board of County Commissioners in September 2019.

E. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to authorize: the Mayor to sign two letters: one addressed to
the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) urging consideration of funding for a
restudy of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project and one
addressed to the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing
Board encouraging the Governing Board to retain the current millage rate to
provide adequate revenue for meeting level of service and flood protection responsibilities.
SUMMARY: Maintaining a fully
functional regional water management system in the face of rising sea levels
and intensifying rainfall events will require significant investment in
assessments, resilience studies, adaptation design, and resilient infrastructure
in Southeast Florida. The four counties that comprise the Southeast Florida
Regional Climate Change Compact are uniting in support of these objectives by
jointly signing letters to the USACE and SFWMD Governing Board. The first
letter, which will be substantially similar or identical to Attachment 1, urges
the USACE to consider funding a restudy of the Central and Southern Florida
Flood Control Project to help Southeast Florida prepare for future water
management challenges and maintain levels of service for current and future
flood protection. The second letter, which will be substantially similar or
identical to Attachment 2, urges the Governing Board of the SFWMD to retain the
current millage rate for Fiscal Year 2019–2020. The letter contends that,
compared to the rolled-back rate that has been implemented for the last eight
fiscal years, the fiscal impact of the current millage rate on individual
taxpayers will be minimal while providing significant and acutely needed
revenue for the SFWMD Flood Protection and Level of Service Program. Countywide

motion to:
A) approve a contract with PGAL, Inc. to provide professional architectural/
engineering design, programming, site plan approval, permitting, and
construction administration services for the Animal Care and Control
Renewal/Replacement/ Renovation Project (ACC R/R/R) located at 7100 Belvedere
Road in West Palm Beach for a period of three years or until the construction
achieves final completion; and
B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute Consultant Services
Authorization (CSA) No. 1 in an amount not to exceed $200,000.
SUMMARY: The ACC R/R/R
Project is located on a +/-13.74 acre site located at 7100 Belvedere Road in
West Palm Beach. The Facility was constructed in the early 1990’s and has
remained in continuous operation ever since. In 2017, as part of the County’s
Infrastructure Sales Tax initiative, $21,000,000 was identified for the ACC
R/R/R Project that was to begin in 2019 and would renew and replace base
building systems but also include the construction, dedication or re-assignment
of space to create indoor/outdoor facilities, dedicated lobbies, specialized
storage and efficient site access/circulation in order to properly address the
facilities daily operational requirements. On January 29, 2019, the Board held
a workshop and directed staff to prepare a more in-depth programming study
(Comparative Study) which: 1) validates/confirms the program/needs, and 2)
specifically looks at opportunities, challenges and costs, including continuity
of operations during construction of an entirely new facility on the existing
site versus accomplishing the project via the R/R/R approach currently
contemplated. The Comparative Study will be developed in conjunction with
public input via targeted public outreach sessions which will be facilitated by
the Consultant team. The results of the Comparative Study will be evaluated by
the County in order to determine the most appropriate solution (or some
combination) to be used as the scope of the project to be designed. Following
the Comparative Study, further professional services will include site
planning, programming, design, construction documents, permitting and
construction administration services. In
order to meet the schedule distributed on February 15, 2019 and authorize
consultant services for the Comparative Study prior to the first public input
meeting in mid-July, staff is requesting authorization for the County
Administrator to execute CSA No. 1. The prime design consultant PGAL, Inc. was selected under Board adopted procedures
for this project. To ensure that the specific and unique design considerations
necessary for this project are incorporated, PGAL, Inc. has engaged, as a sub-consultant, Animal
Arts, a nationally recognized design firm that specializes exclusively in
animal care facilities. PGAL, Inc. is a business with a Palm Beach County
office and will be using eight Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and
Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Palm Beach County sub-consultants
for the work. The solicitation for design professionals was advertised on March
17, 2019 according to the Equal Business Opportunity Program, with the final
selection taking place on May 29, 2019.
The Goal Setting Committee on March 6, 2019 established an Affirmative
Procurement Initiatives (API) requiring a minimum mandatory goal of 20% SBE
participation. The prime consultant is not an SBE but has committed to 32%
sub-consultants that are S/W/MBE’s. (Capital Improvements Division) District
