3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

L. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) accept a Corrective Quitclaim Deed from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for 11 parcels containing approximately 78.34 acres of environmentally sensitive (vacant) land in the Palm Beach Heights area, north of Indiantown Road and northeast of Beeline Highway (part of the Pal-Mar ecosite); and

B) reconvey a Deed of Conservation Easement to SFWMD to ensure that the subject parcels are forever retained, in their natural, vegetative, hydrologic, scenic, open, agricultural or wooded condition, as suitable habitat for native plant and animal life.

SUMMARY: On August 17, 2004 (R2004-1741), the Board of County Commissioners approved an agreement with the SFWMD (Agreement). Pursuant to the Agreement, SFWMD agreed to convey the subject parcels in fee simple title to the County, provided the County granted SFWMD a perpetual Deed of Conservation Easement over the parcels. However, when SFWMD conveyed ownership of the subject parcels to the County on October 19, 2007, the parcels were inadvertently conveyed for road right-of-way purposes. Acceptance of the Corrective Quitclaim Deed will convey the subject parcels to the County in fee simple title as stipulated in the Agreement. Reconveyance of the Deed of Conservation Easement to SFWMD will confirm that the intent of the original Deed of Conservation Easement remains in full force and effect, and is not inadvertently released by execution and acceptance of the Corrective Quitclaim Deed. Since the County already owns the subject parcels and previously conveyed a conservation easement to SFWMD with respect to the parcels, there is no cost to the County. District 1 (HF)

2. Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Amendment No.1 to Contract R2019-1728 for Consulting/Professional Services (Contract) with the University of Florida, Board of Trustees (Consultant), an institute of higher education authorized to do business in the State of Florida to extend the contract deadline, at no cost to the County, from July 31, 2020 to October 31, 2020. SUMMARY: On November 5, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners approved Contract R2019-1728 with Consultant. Delegation of authority to the County Administrator or designee to sign all future time extensions, task assignments, certifications, and other forms associated with this Contract was approved at that time. Consultant has requested an extension of 90 days due to office closures resulting from the COVID-19 health pandemic. The Contract will provide critical statistics to investigate spatial and temporal trends of water quality parameters for the period between May 1, 2009 and April 30, 2019 (10 water years) within the Lake Worth Lagoon (LWL) Watershed. The data will be correlated with flow and rainfall data to better identify the movement of nutrients and other parameters through the watershed prior to discharge into the LWL. The data and analyses will be included to address specific action plans within the ongoing LWL Management Plan update. Contract costs in the amount of $36,220 are covered through the County Pollution Recovery Trust Fund. Countywide (SS)

L. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

3. Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Change Order No. 1 to Grant Agreement 19PB17 (R2019-1180) with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), providing $221,346 for design and construction of the Singer Island Dune Hurricane Irma Recovery Project (Project) for a term beginning September 12, 2017 and expiring December 5, 2020. SUMMARY: On August 20, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved FDEP Grant Agreement 19PB17 (R2019-1180). Delegation of authority to the County Administrator or designee to sign all future time extensions, task assignments, certifications, and other forms associated with this Agreement was approved at that time. Change Order No. 1 decreases the design and permitting task amount by $9,956 and increases the construction task amount by $9,956. The total grant amount does not change. The reason for the change is that design and permitting efforts (conducted in-house by County staff) are not eligible for reimbursement reallocation to the construction task. The change will allow the County to request reimbursement for 100% of the total grant amount. There is no cost to the County. District 1 (SS)

N. LIBRARY

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: The County Library’s Strategic and Long-Range Plan for FY 2021 through FY 2023. SUMMARY: This plan represents the Library’s mission statement, goals and objectives, and strategic plan for FY 2021 through FY 2023. This process of strategic planning is done in conjunction with the State’s requirements for libraries receiving State Aid grant funds and with the County’s budget process. The Library anticipates receipt of $754,643 in State Aid grant funds which is a significant drop from the $1,007,606 received in FY 2020. The Library Advisory Board endorsed this Plan with Resolution 20-01, dated July 13, 2020. The planning process for this year was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in significant changes to target numbers. The plan also took into consideration the upcoming temporary closures of the Lantana Road Branch and Wellington Branch for renovations. Highlights of the Plan for FY 2021 include:

· Providing access to a collection of print, non-print, and electronic resources for borrowing and research that supports the needs and interests of the citizens of Palm Beach County;

· Promoting inclusivity and embracing diversity in staffing, collections, services, activities and spaces;

· Addressing food insecurity in the community by partnering with local organizations to distribute meals from library locations and by hosting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefit consultations at select library locations;

· Offering public technology instructional activities to meet the digital literacy needs of adults and children; and

· Designing family learning opportunities to improve a child’s ability to achieve academically with continuing emphasis on children’s classes and activities, including virtual options; Countywide (AH)

N. LIBRARY (Cont’d)

2. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) an agreement with the Palm Beach County Food Bank, Inc., a Florida non-profit corporation, authorized to do business in the State of Florida in their capacity to assist Palm Beach County residents in applying for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and other ACCESS Florida benefits; and

B) automatic renewal of the agreement annually until either party terminates it at their will.

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County residents have had access SNAP and ACCESS Florida benefit application assistance at three to four Library branch locations weekly since 2017. As the largest federal nutrition assistance program, SNAP provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families to purchase food. ACCESS Florida benefits cover various programs including “Temporary Cash Assistance” which provides financial assistance to pregnant women in their third trimester and families with dependent children to assist in the payment of rent, utilities and other household expenses. The “Medicaid Program”, another ACCESS Florida program, provides medical assistance to individuals and families to cover costs of necessary medical services. This agreement will allow the Palm Beach County Food Bank, Inc. to expand its SNAP Benefits Outreach Program to any Palm Beach County Library System branch. Location(s), date(s), day(s), and time(s) will be chosen based primarily on resident need, Food Bank funding and staff availability as well as the availability of a private space to conduct benefit interviews. Expanding this program to cover all branches will also allow both parties increased flexibility to respond to an evolving community. The Palm Beach County Library System will be responsible for providing private meeting space, free use of a copy machine, staff contacts at each location serving in this capacity as well as publicity and promotion through its website, social media, and other marketing materials. The Palm Beach County Food Bank, Inc. will provide a Benefits Specialist to conduct benefit interviews, provide statistical information to each location, and publicity and promotion through its website, social media, and other marketing materials. The Palm Beach County Food Bank, Inc. requested that our current arrangement be formalized in the agreement. Countywide (AH)

SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Library System is planning to use the grant funds to purchase cameras and computer equipment to be used to produce asynchronous content for the Palm Beach County Library System website and social media platforms, as well as digital cameras and software licenses to support internal staff operations for virtual meetings. Grant funds will also be used to purchase one hundred additional Books-By-Mail bags to support increased demand for this service. These combined purchases will support public events, technology workshops, informational content about library services, and updates on enhancements and notifications related to COVID-19. If the grant is awarded, the Library Department will return to the Board of County Commissioners to present an agreement with the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services laying out all of the terms and conditions.

On September 10, 2019, the Board delegated authority (R2019-1462) to execute the LOA with the State of Florida relating to IGTs for this program. This LOA is now being received and filed in accordance with PPM CW-O-051. For the State’s FY 2020, the County’s IGT was $707,341.28, and the County is expected to receive $1,835,819.56 in supplemental payments from MCOs, for an estimated net revenue of $1,128,478.28.

B. COMMUNITY SERVICES

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a contract with Rebel Recovery Florida Inc.

SUMMARY: On July 2, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted the Infectious Disease Elimination Ordinance pursuant to Section 381.0038(4), Florida Statutes (2019), the State’s Infectious Disease Elimination Act (IDEA). As required by the IDEA, the County’s ordinance contains conditions precedent to establishing a Needle Exchange Program (NEP). On March 10, 2020, the BCC satisfied the first of these conditions by entering into a letter of agreement with the Florida Department of Health in which the BCC agreed that the NEP will operate in accordance with the requirements of the IDEA. On July 14, 2020, the BCC approved a contract with Vanderbilt University to use their software for the required collection and reporting of NEP data. The final condition precedent to establishing the NEP is the approval of an operator contract. Rebel Recovery secured private funding commitments totaling $151,430 to support NEP services. With this funding, Rebel Recovery proposes to serve 200 unduplicated clients, and exchange an estimated 210,000 needles/syringes. No County funds are required for the operation of the needle exchange program, as they are expressly prohibited by IDEA. Countywide (HH)

C. PUBLIC SAFETY

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) find that extraordinary circumstances exist as defined in the Palm Beach County Code Chapter 13, Article II – Emergency Medical Services Ordinance (the “EMS Ordinance”) as described in sections 13-24(f);

B) extend the current secondary service provider Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) for American Medical Response and Medic Ambulance Service for an initial period of six months;

C) delegate authority to the County Administrator to further extend the renewal of the two referenced COPCNs, for one additional six month period; and

D) approve issuance of public notice for the secondary service provider COPCN application period no earlier than 120 days and no later than 90 days prior to the expiration date of the extended term(s) of the secondary service provider COPCNs.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the EMS Ordinance, the County’s secondary service providers are issued a COPCN every six years for a six-year term with applications for new services to be processed based on the expiration of the term of the COPCNs. The two current secondary service provider six year COPCNs expire on December 31, 2020. Palm Beach County is currently under a local state of an emergency due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which poses significant, imminent, dangerous and exigent threats to the health, safety, and welfare of Palm Beach County. In view of the COVID-19 emergency and continuing threat to the public health, safety and welfare, the stress on the entire system, and excessive workload surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, staff believe that extraordinary circumstances exist to warrant extending the current secondary service providers’ COPCNs for an initial period of six months, with one additional six month renewal to be approved by the County Administrator. Pursuant to Section 13-24 of the EMS Ordinance, upon a finding of extraordinary circumstances the Board may, at any time, grant an extension and/or modification of an existing COPCN for a period of up to six months, which may be renewed. Pursuant to Section 13-22 of the EMS Ordinance, COPCN's public notice of the application period shall be given no earlier than 120 days and no later than 90 days prior to the expiration date of the COPCNs issued. Therefore, extending the term of the current secondary service provider COPCNs also results in suspending the application timeframes for processing new and renewal COPCNs by the corresponding amount of time. The County Administrator has authority to enter an emergency order suspending the application process pursuant to Chapter 252, Florida Statutes, Section 9-35 of the Palm Beach County Code, and pursuant to Section 13-30 of the EMS Ordinance, which authorizes the County Administrator to take such actions as are necessary to address an exigent emergency situation. Therefore, staff proposes an initial six month extension of the COPCNs with one renewal period of an additional six months to be approved by the County Administrator if necessary. The application process for new COPCNs will also remain suspended during the extended term of the COPCNs and applications will commence prior to the expiration of the extended COPCNs with time for regular application processing as contemplated in the ordinance. Countywide (LDC)

D. ADMINISTRATION

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a request to Governor DeSantis allowing Palm Beach County to move into an incremental Phase 2 re-opening of businesses. SUMMARY: At the August 25, 2020 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), staff was directed to bring back a Phase 2 Re-opening Plan for Palm Beach County. Over the past four months, the County has been in a Phase 1 Reopening per Executive Order 20-112 and Executive Order 20-123 issued by Governor DeSantis. Executive Order 20-139, allowed the State to move to a Phase 2 reopening with the exception of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Per the Order, those requests for re-opening may happen by written request from the County Mayor or County Administrator of each respective County. The Phase 2 Re-opening Plan detailed in Attachment 1 outlines steps for re-opening additional Palm Beach County businesses in staggered increments on specific dates beginning September 8^th, 2020. The phased re-openings are contemplated in five steps and start with the reopening of certain indoor entertainment venues, followed by a re-opening of in-person instruction at public schools as determined by the Palm Beach County School Board, moving to additional indoor entertainment venues in the third step, and moving to further reduced restrictions on entertainment venues in step four. Additional business openings and reducing business capacity restrictions are contemplated beyond that time frame (Step 5) pending specific authorization of the Governor. Evaluation periods are built in between each of the phases to allow for review of health metrics data to determine if any significant resurgences may be attributed to the advancement of the phased openings.
