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. Countywide (HF)

motion to:
A) approve an agreement with Housing Partnership Inc.

in their capacity as the agencies who administer BRIDGES of Palm Beach County
to provide high quality literacy activities to BRIDGES of Palm Beach County
families; and
B) authorize the County
Administrator or designee to execute any necessary amendments to this
agreement.
SUMMARY: The intent of this agreement
is to provide high quality literacy activities to BRIDGES of Palm Beach County
families. The Housing Partnership Inc. dba Community Partners of South Florida
and Children’s Home Society of Florida agrees to the following:
·
Provide flyers and other materials to families in order to engage
them to attend Library events, workshops, and activities.
·
Host literacy-related activities lead by PBC library staff.
·
Provide snacks for families during activities that occur on site
at the BRIDGES.
·
Engage families to attend activities that occur on site at the
BRIDGES.

return, the Palm Beach County Library System agrees to the following:
·
Provide at least 6 high quality literacy-related activities per
year.
·
Attend service coordination meetings with BRIDGES.
·
Serve as member of the Early Childhood Collaborative Teams.
This
agreement was borne out of a request by BRIDGES to create a formal partnership
as required by the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, and to
initiate a more organized approach to providing family literacy services in
communities that are mutually served by all parties involved. It is the goal of this partnership to expand
access to library resources and instill a love of reading amongst children and
their families such that children will be more equipped to enter school ready
and eager to learn, with a focus on helping children read on grade level by the
time they reach 3rd grade. All services and collaborative efforts are contingent
on BRIDGES and Library staff availability as well as the availability of space.
The agreement is for one year with automatic renewals thereafter. Countywide

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)

Tran’s Operating Fund (1340) to recognize the award and reconcile the budget;
and
C) approve a budget transfer of $617,276 in the

funding for non-urbanized area public transportation operating assistance (FM
No. 407184-3-84-01) with the State of Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT), providing a grant in the amount of $353,187, to offset the operating
costs of providing fixed route services to the public in the rural areas of
Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: Palm Tran will utilize the grant
funds to offset the operating costs of providing fixed route service in the rural areas of the
County. This FY2020
PTGA in the amount of $706,374, will provide operating funding in the amount of

grant agreement contains an indemnification provision that differs from that
adopted for use by the County and imposes obligations beyond those recognized
by County PPM CW-F-049 (PPM). The grant agreement requires, to the extent
permitted by law and subject to the limitations of Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes, the County to indemnify and hold harmless the State, FDOT, and FDOT’s
officers and employees from liabilities, damages, losses and costs, including
reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent caused by the negligence,
recklessness, or intentional wrongful misconduct of the County and persons
employed or utilized by the County in performance of the grant agreement.
An exception to the PPM has been approved by Risk Management and the County
Attorney taking into consideration the County’s need to provide fixed route
public transit services, its current performance of such services and
exposure/liability for its acts, the amount of the grant award, and the
non-waiver of sovereign immunity beyond the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes. The indemnification obligation must also be passed on to
contractors and/or consultants. Countywide (DR)

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. (Community Services) Countywide (HH)
