5.         Staff recommends motion to: 

 

A) approve the First Amendment (Amendment) to Development Site Lease Agreement with Airport Logistics Park, LLC (ALP), a Florida limited liability company, (R2019-0300) (Lease), providing for a restriction on the use of approximately 56,146 square feet of ground for the preservation and maintenance of native trees, and the addition of approximately 56,577 square feet of ground for dry detention purposes for a net annual rental increase of $237.05 upon completion of the development; and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute, on behalf of County, an amendment to the Lease to update the legal description of ALP’s leasehold as provided in the amendment. 

 

SUMMARY: ALP is constructing approximately 566,672 square feet of industrial warehouse and distribution facilities in two phases on property located west of the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). As a condition of approval, the Environmental Resources Management Department required a 56,146 square foot area of native trees located within the first phase of the development to be preserved. ALP will be responsible for maintenance of the area at no cost to the County; however, no rental will be charged since it can no longer be used for development, resulting in a rental decrease of approximately $30,880.30 in the first phase. The area had been designated for dry detention purposes. Since the area can no longer be used for dry detention, the Amendment adds an additional 56,577 square foot area for dry detention, resulting in an increase of $31,117.35 in rental in the second phase. When rental is paid on both phases, the net change in rental is an increase of $237.05 annually. The Amendment provides that the County may adjust the final boundary of ALP's leasehold based on changes to the final site plan, location of the improvements constructed or the removal of certain navigational equipment. The Department is requesting a delegation of authority to the County Administrator or designee, to execute, on behalf of County, an amendment to the Lease to update the legal description as provided in the Amendment.

1.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Federally Funded Modification Z0596-9 to the Sub Grant Agreement Z0596 with the State of Florida, Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) to authorize the reimbursement of eligible Hurricane Irma project expenditures. SUMMARY:  On September 4, 2017, the President of the United States issued a major disaster declaration designated FEMA-4337-DR-FL for the State of Florida as a result of Hurricane Irma authorizing Public Assistance funding for eligible Florida counties.  Public Assistance is a federal grant (CFDA #97.036) to aid state and local governments in returning a disaster area to pre-disaster conditions. To date, there were 17 projects submitted for reimbursement of eligible project expenditures through the Original Agreement Z0596 and modifications 1 through 8. For the remaining eight outstanding projects, FDEM will no longer require individual modifications for the reimbursement of eligible project expenditures; instead, modification Z0596-9 incorporates the remaining eight projects. This modification will avoid unnecessary delays in the reimbursement process. Payment of a specified portion of the nonfederal share is contingent upon future State appropriations.  As of August 23, 2019, FEMA will contribute 90% of federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance for Hurricane Irma except for Category B, which is 100% covered by FEMA. The State of Florida will contribute 5% share of the qualified actual expenditures incurred, leaving he County responsible for absorbing the remaining 5%. R2019-0458 gave authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute these modifications on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners. Countywide (LDC)

A.        COMMUNITY SERVICES

 

1.          Staff recommends motion to adopt: The Community’s Plan to End the Cycle of Homelessness for individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: On September 23, 2008, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness in Palm Beach County (The Plan). The Plan provided a blueprint for ending homelessness through seven goals and 63 action steps that focused on the development of a robust coordinated homeless delivery system. The Homeless and Housing Alliance (HHA) achieved 57 of the 63 action steps outlined in The Plan. One of the goals included building regional homeless resource centers (HRC). In August 2012, the County opened the first HRC. Since its inception, HHA has navigated more than 18,000 individuals and provided shelter for nearly 7,000 individuals. More than 2,200 individuals have been placed in permanent housing. The ten year period ended on September 23, 2018 and staff engaged the HHA and other community stakeholders to utilize the collective impact framework to develop “Leading the Way Home” (LTWH). LTWH is comprised of six key focus areas which includes expanding support services, increasing access to housing, engaging health care entities in homeless efforts, aligning funding and investments, expanding advocacy efforts and enhancing the overall system of care.

B) conceptually approve an Economic Development Incentive for Project Doctor in the form of a cash grant not to exceed $22,500 over six years.

 

SUMMARY: Project Doctor is contemplating relocating its national headquarters to Palm Beach County.  The project will invest $1,530,000 to lease, renovate, and equip a 23,000 square-foot facility. The project will create 75 new jobs over a three year period at an annualized average wage of $60,657 and an annualized median wage of $50,000.

Of this amount, $180,000 is from the State of Florida; and $45,000 is a required match from local government entities.  Palm Beach County and the City of Boca Raton will equally share the required local match. Palm Beach County will provide its portion of the local match as a cash grant in an amount not to exceed $22,500. Provided it meets the State of Florida and County requirements, the cash grant will be paid over a period of six years according to the State’s QTI Refund schedule and secured by a letter of credit or cash bond. The company will be required to enter into a formal agreement memorializing its commitments and establishing terms under which the incentive will be disbursed.
