Services Block Grant (CSBG) Program Federally Funded Subgrant Agreement No.
17SB-0D-10-60-01-121 (R2017-0625), for the period October 1, 2016 through
September 30, 2020, increasing the original grant agreement amount by
$1,448,507 for a total grant award amount not to exceed $6,045,512.93, to
provide utility payment assistance to approximately 438 families in Palm Beach
County who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; and
2. the signature of the Mayor on Modification
No. 7 to the FDEO Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Federally

April 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020, increasing the original grant
agreement amount by $2,970,584 for a new total amount not to exceed
$19,632,256, to provide electric utility assistance to over 8,000 low-income
households residing in Palm Beach County who are affected by the COVID-19

SUMMARY: CSBG Modification No. 4 increases the amended grant amount by
$1,448,507 in response to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security

provided in response to the CARES Act. The increased funding will enable the
Community Action Program to provide assistance to low-income households in need
of assistance to pay energy bills or to relieve a crisis that would prevent
utility service disconnection or restore utility services. An estimated 8,000
households in Palm Beach County will be served. The emergency signature process
was utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the subgrant
agreements through the regular BCC agenda process. No County funds are
required. (Community Action Program) Countywide (HH)

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Standard Agreement No. IPC20-9500 for the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP) with
the Area Agency on Aging of Palm Beach/Treasure Coast, Inc. (AAA), for the period June
1 2020 through September 30, 2021, to
provide services in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in this
agreement, including all attachments, forms and exhibits, in an amount not to
exceed $20,394 with a spending authority in the amount of $108,763 for client
services, to provide home energy assistance to seniors through the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act; and
B) a budget amendment of $20,394 in the
Division of Senior Services (DOSS) Administration Fund to align the budget to
the actual grant award.
SUMMARY: The agreement allows
DOSS to provide EHEAP services to seniors. The CARES Act funding will assist
seniors who were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. EHEAP services
are provided to seniors aged 60 and older experiencing a home energy emergency.
Seniors who are unable to pay their electric bills can receive financial
assistance up to twice a year, once during the heating season (October – March)

include all of the districts, excluding District 3, 4, 5 and 7 south of
Hypoluxo Road. The Mae Volen Center, Inc. is responsible for providing services
in the areas south of Hypoluxo Road. (DOSS) Countywide except for portions

4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
contract for Provision of Services with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries,
Inc. (GGI), for the period November 15, 2020 through November 14, 2023, in an
annual amount of $1,795,701, to provide assessment and non-congregate
sheltering for COVID-19 impacted individual and families in the western
communities. SUMMARY: On June 2, 2020, the Palm Beach County Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) approved two County owned
properties that could be renovated and repurposed to provide for non-congregate
sheltering in the western communities where the need for isolation of high-risk
individuals and households is evident. The presence of hotel rooms in this area
has proved to be challenging due to limited availability, associated cost and
the inability to ensure complete isolation. Immediately
upon opening, and while the need for COVID-19 related sheltering exists, the
combination of these facilities will provide for the sheltering of those
requiring isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This would include, but not
be limited to: those testing positive to COVID-19, those exposed to, or at risk
of, COVID-19, and those that may have lost their housing accommodations due to
the emergency. GGI will operate both the Belle Glade Assessment Center
that will verify risk or exposure to COVID-19 leading to the need for isolation
and the Pahokee Non-Congregate Sheltering site. GGI will provide supportive

for Medicaid managed care patients for State FY 2019-2020; and
B) approve agreements with seven Medicaid Managed Care
Organizations (MCO) listed below for the period October 1, 2019 through June
30, 2024, to allow for direct supplemental payments from the MCO to the County
for their covered patients who are transported to a hospital:
1. Florida

4. Sunshine
State Health Plan, Inc.
5. Simply

6. Florida
True Health, Inc. d/b/a Prestige Health Choice
7. Humana Medical
Plan, Inc.
SUMMARY: Last fall, AHCA established the Florida
Medicaid Managed Care Supplemental Payment Program (MCO program), which will
allow qualifying government owned ambulance providers to receive supplemental
payments for emergency transports of Medicaid managed care patients. In order
to guarantee Federal share funding, intergovernmental transfers (IGT) from PEMT
providers are required to cover the State’s share of the MCO program. On
September 10, 2019, the Board delegated authority (R2019-1462) to execute LOAs
with the State of Florida relating to IGTs for this program. One LOA is now
being received and filed in accordance with PPM CW-O-051. Pursuant to the MCO
agreements required by the program, the Medicaid MCOs will make payments to the
County for their covered patients who are transported to a hospital. For the
State’s FY 2019-2020, the County’s IGT was 689,717.33, and the County is
expected to receive $1,793,265 in supplemental payments from MCOs, for an
estimated net revenue of $1,103,548. For
the State’s FY 2020-2021, the County’s IGT and estimated net revenue are
expected to stay the same. We have scanned signatures on the LOAs for Simply
Healthcare Plans, Inc. d/b/a Clear Health Alliance and Florida True Health,
Inc. d/b/a Prestige Health Choice and are expected to receive the original
signatures. Countywide (SB)

to authorize the reimbursement of eligible projects for Public Assistance
funding:
A)
Attachment C - Certification Regarding Debarment,
Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion; and
B)

SUMMARY: On August
30, 2019, the President of the United States issued a major disaster
declaration designated “FEMA-4468-DR-FL” for the State of Florida as a result
of Hurricane Dorian authorizing Public Assistance funding for eligible Florida
counties. Public Assistance is a federal grant (CFDA #97.036) to aid state and
local governments. On June 16, 2020, the
Board of County Commissioners approved Grant Agreement Z1557. Attachment C
first paragraph language has been modified to state “with respect to any
Sub-recipient of the State” rather than “with respect to any Sub-recipient
other than a State agency or political subdivision of the State”. Attachment I is an update from FEMA regarding

motion to:
A)
approve a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) for State-Owned Generators with the Florida Division of
Emergency Management (FDEM) to receive three mobile trailer mounted generators
to support hurricane preparedness and response to the COVID-19 public health
emergency beginning upon execution and remain in effect until 19 years from
June 1, 2020, or the date the unit is no longer serviceable as determined by
the FDEM, whichever comes first; and
B)
authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute amendments associated
with the above MOA, on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, after
approval of legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office, and within
budgeted allocations.
SUMMARY: The FDEM recently purchased mobile trailer mounted generators to
support hurricane season preparedness and response to the COVID-19 public
health emergency. In an effort to maximize the utilization of these generators,
the FDEM is seeking to collaborate with Palm Beach County to position and
maintain these critical assets. The County can utilize the generators for
necessary official government purposes. During a state or local declaration of
an emergency, the highest priority use of the generators will be to support
nursing homes, skilled nursing, assisted living, extended care facilities,
medical facilities, designated congregate and non-congregate public shelters,
and other essential facilities. The FDEM will be responsible for maintaining
each generator that comes with a 24-month/1,000-hour limited and concurrent
60-month/2,500-hour Gold Extended warranty. The County will be responsible for
the costs of storing/staging, preventative maintenance, repair, and necessary
part replacements. The FDEM is providing three mobile trailer mounted
generators to Palm Beach County for staging. Countywide (LDC)

motion to receive and file: the third amendment to contract for
Adult Reentry Services (R2019-1568) with The Lord’s Place, Inc. (TLP) to update
the compensation chart and reduce contract amount by $6,985 based on the award
amount from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Edward Byrne
Memorial Justice Assistance Formula Grant. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County
Division of Justice Services subcontracts with three reentry providers to
coordinate adult and juvenile reentry services to those returning to Palm Beach
County from incarceration. On October 8, 2019, the Board of County
Commissioners authorized the County Administrator or designee to execute
amendments and administrative documents associated with these contracts on
behalf of the Board of County Commissioners after approval of legal sufficiency
by the County Attorney’s Office and within budgeted allocations. The third
amendment to TLP adds compensation for Post-Release Basic Technology as an
allowable expense. To ensure utilization of funding, the third amendment to TLP
shifts ad valorem funding between case management and client support services.
Furthermore, the third amendment to TLP decreases the project budget from
$427,233 to $420,248 due to reduced funds from FDLE Edward Byrne Memorial JAG.
This contract amendment is retroactive to April 1, 2020. Countywide (SF)

for the period October 10, 2020 through October 10, 2021; to be purchased
through the County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. for a
total cost of $132,500. SUMMARY: The renewal premium of $132,500
for airport liability insurance represents no increase over the expiring
premium for a $200,000,000 limit of liability. In order to secure this premium,
we will be moving to Starr Aviation from the incumbent, Chubb. After much negotiation, Chubb was unable to
offer favorable renewal terms, necessitating the move. Staff believes any
increase in premium is unnecessary this year as our airport traffic, and
resulting claims experience have been greatly reduced due to COVID-19. All
terms and limits will remain the same as the expiring policy, including the $0
per claim deductible. Countywide (HH)

motion to approve:
A) the third annual option to renew the Administrative Services Only (ASO)
Agreement (R2017-1607) dated October 17, 2017 with Cigna Health and Life
Insurance Company (CHLIC) for claims administration for the County’s
self-funded Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Open Access Plus In Network
(OAPIN), and Point of Service (POS), health insurance plans for the period
January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (plan year 2021);
B) CHLIC’s proposed administrative fees, access fees, utilization fees,
disease management fees, estimated at $1,847,462, and specific stop loss
premiums estimated at $505,891 for the County’s self-funded HMO, OAPIN, and POS
health insurance plans for plan year 2021;
C) the actuarial rates per coverage tier for the County’s self-funded HMO,
OAPIN, and POS health insurance plans for plan year 2021; and
D) employee wellness participation cash incentives
in the amount of $25 per employee for completion of the online Health Risk
Assessment (HRA) and $25 per employee for participation in a biometric
screening that meets the requirements of the County’s wellness program.
SUMMARY: Staff recommends Board approval of
the third annual option to renew the ASO Agreement with CHLIC for the period
January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 on behalf of the employees of the
Board of County Commissioners, Supervisor of Elections, and Palm Tran, Inc.
(collectively participating in the plan through the provisions of Interlocal
Agreement (R2002-2287). The total projected claims and administrative expenses
for plan year 2021 are $76,709,138, which represents an increase of $5,006,287
over the actuary’s projected cost of the expiring plan year. This includes expected claims of $75,962,092
fixed administrative, access, utilization, and disease management fees of
$1,847,462, and stop loss insurance costs of $505,891 paid to CHLIC. Based on
the contract negotiated following a competitive Request for Proposal, plan year
2021 fixed ASO/Access fees include an agreed upon 2% capped increase, which are
projected to total $1,847,462. The increase in ASO/Access fees is projected at
$36,000 per year. Specific stop loss premiums are unchanged and the specific
excess insurance cap remains at $625,000 per claim for plan year 2021. Specific
stop loss coverage protects the County against catastrophic claim losses and
the premium is estimated at $505,891 for 2021. The County will again receive an
annual wellness allowance of $175,000 for plan year 2021. As wellness
activities were limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Cigna has agreed
to rollover any remaining 2020 wellness balance to be spent by December 31,
2021. Staff is not recommending changes to County or employee funding for the
HMO, OAPIN and POS plans for the 2021 plan year. Although projected plan
expenses of $76,709,138 exceed expected 2021 funding of $72,700,000 by
approximately $4 million, the plan has sufficient reserves to securely meet the
60 days of claims safe harbor surplus margin required by the Office of
Insurance Regulations (OIR). The actuary
has certified that the program remains in a strong financial position and is
projected to remain so through 2021 and will be sufficiently funded to maintain
the required margin for the OIR safe harbor surplus threshold. Staff will
closely monitor health fund financial performance and may find it necessary to
recommend plan and/or premium changes in a future plan year, should claims
trend higher. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund the program. Countywide

to capitalize on changes within the Palm Beach County economy and business
community. Revisions were primarily made
in response to COVID-19 and reflect efforts to minimize in-person meetings and
travel in order to comply with health and safety best-practices. The revised
Scope of Services is provided as an attachment to this agenda item. These are
County Ad Valorem funds. Countywide (DB)

5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the City of
Westlake. SUMMARY: In order to receive funding under the Federal
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME),
and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Programs from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Palm Beach County must requalify every
three years for HUD’s designation as an Urban County Program. The County’s
current designation will expire on September 30, 2021, and a new application
for requalification for Fiscal Years 2021-2024 is now due to HUD. The City of
Westlake has agreed to participate with the County in the formulation of the
Urban County Program jurisdiction and has executed an Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement. With the addition of
Westlake, the total number of municipalities that have agreed to participate
with the County is now 31. Staff
recommends approval the agreement. CDBG
funds require no local match. HOME funds
require a local match, which is provided by program income from the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership Program.
ESG funds require a local match, which is provided by funded agencies,
the Division of Human Services, and the Department of Housing and Economic
Sustainability. Countywide (HJF)
6. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) award of $670,000 to SP Palm Beach, LLC;
B) direct
staff to negotiate the
Grant Agreement; and
C) authorize the County Administrator or designee to
execute the Grant Agreement, amendments thereto, and all other documents
necessary for project implementation.
SUMMARY: On August
16, 2020, the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability (DHES) issued
Request for Proposals HES.2020.2 (RFP) making $670,000 in Federal HOME funding
available for a Local Government Area of Opportunity Funding (LGAOF) grant
contribution to multi-family housing developers seeking tax credits from the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) 9% Housing Credits Program. Per FHFC rules, the LGAOF contribution may
only be made to one project. A selection
committee consisting of five voting members met at a public meeting held on
September 18, 2020, and recommended funding a $670,000 grant to SP Palm Beach,
LLC (an affiliate of Southport Financial Services, Inc.) for Calusa Pointe, a
140-unit multifamily rental development for the elderly to be located at the
southeast quadrant of State Road 80 and County Road 827 in the City of Belle
Glade. The project will construct 140 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments
affordable to households with incomes no greater than 60% of Area Median Income
(AMI). The project will include 37
HOME-assisted units of which 14 will be set aside for households with incomes
no greater than 50% of AMI and 23 will be set aside for households with incomes
no greater than 28% AMI. The HOME-assisted units will remain affordable for no
less than 30 years. The HOME award is contingent on FHFC approval of 9% Housing
Credits for Calusa Pointe. If the 9%
Housing Credits are not approved by FHFC, the HOME award to Calusa Pointe will
be automatically cancelled and the HOME funds will be reprogrammed. The Grant
Agreement and related documents pursuant to these HOME funds will be between
the County and SP Palm Beach, LLC (and its respective successors and/or
assigns). To facilitate project implementation, staff requests authorization
for the County Administrator or designee to execute the Grant Agreement and
related documents. These are Federal
HOME Program grant funds which require a 25% local match provided by State SHIP
grant funds. District 6 (HJF)

SUSTAINABILITY (Cont’d)
7. Staff recommends
motion to execute: a
“Certification By State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency with the
Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan” for the Palm Beach County Housing
Authority (PBCHA) in connection with its Five Year Plan for Fiscal Years
2021-2024 and Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. SUMMARY: The PBCHA
has prepared its Five Year Plan for Fiscal Years 2021-2024 and its Annual Plan
for Fiscal Year 2020-2021. Both plans are due to the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) by October 18, 2020. HUD requires the County to confirm that
the plans and programs outlined in PBCHA’s Five Year Plan and Annual Plan are
consistent with the goals and objectives set forth in the County’s Consolidated
Plan. Consistency with the Consolidated
Plan is documented through a “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
Five Year Plan and Annual Plan and determined that the goals, objectives, and
activities outlined therein are consistent with the Palm Beach County
Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2020-2024. Specifically, the PBCHA plans
will target assistance to households with incomes of no more than 30% of Area
Median Income (AMI) and 50% of AMI, as well as the elderly and families with
disabilities. The PBCHA plans also call for activities to affirmatively further
fair housing, increase the number of affordable housing units, and
de-concentrate public housing. The County’s Consolidated Plan identified the
need for rental housing which is affordable to families with incomes of up to
80% of AMI, and needs for more affordable rental housing for the elderly and persons
with disabilities, among others. Countywide (HJF)
D. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, urging the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) to require a competitive process for the 2021 expiring contract for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) for Region 8, and to split Region 8 which currently combines Palm Beach and Broward Counties into two separate regions, thereby establishing Palm Beach County as its own region for administration of TEFAP. SUMMARY: The proposed Resolution is to urge FDACS to issue a competitive solicitation for state contracts, for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2021, to administer the TEFAP program, and to separate Region 8, which currently combines Palm Beach and Broward Counties, into two separate regions under the program. State contracts to administer TEFAP have not been competitively bid since 2010. FDACS executes the program in Florida through contracts with one Contracted Distributing Agency (CDA) in each of nine regions. Palm Beach County and Broward County are currently combined into one region (Region 8). By combining Palm Beach and Broward Counties, FDACS effectively limits otherwise eligible Palm Beach County based organizations from successfully competing to administer the TEFAP program in Palm Beach County. Palm Beach County is the third largest county by population in Florida and second largest geographically, and Palm Beach County has a higher population than three TEFAP regions that have their own CDA. Staff recommends the adoption of the resolution that urges: 1) FDACS to require a competitive process for the 2021 expiring contract in place for Region 8; and 2) the creation of two separate regions, thereby establishing Palm Beach County as its own independent region with its own CDA to administer the TEFAP program for Palm Beach County.

E. OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT &
BUDGET
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a budget amendment in the CARES Act Relief
Fund of $1,050,000 to recognize Interest and Balance Brought Forward and
reallocate funds due to change in fiscal strategy. SUMMARY:
Pursuant
to the CARES Act Relief Fund program, the County received an automatic payment of $261,174,823 on April 23, 2020. The County has until December 30, 2020 to
expend funds. These funds must only be used to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to coronavirus. The budget amendment recognizes $1,050,000 in interest
earned in excess of budget during FY 2020 and expected to be earned in FY 2021.
This brings the total budget for CRF to $263,224,823. As presented to the Board
of County Commissioners on September 15, 2020, there is approximately $41
million available in the various fiscal strategy categories. These funds will
be transferred to Broadband ($3,750,000), Culture Grants ($1,025,000), Not for
Profit Grants ($4,400,000) ($4,240,000), Health Department
Contract Tracing ($1,000,000), General Expenses ($4,000,000) and the
balance to reserves ($28,895,000) ($28,055,000). Countywide

F. SHERIFF
1. Staff
recommends motion to approve:
A) an
amendment in the Federal Justice Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to establish
the balance brought forward and reserve in the amount of $408,463;
B) an amendment in the
Federal Treasury LETF to establish the balance brought forward and reserve in
the amount of $360,528; and
C) a
budget transfer of $220,000 from the Federal Justice LETF to the Palm Beach
County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO).
SUMMARY: Recent guidelines provided to all Florida
Sheriffs from the Department of Justice’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery
Section and the Department of the Treasury Executive Office for Asset
Forfeiture clarifies that the law enforcement agency’s governing body must
maintain and administer federal equitable sharing funds, and approve
expenditures of these funds, in compliance with the 2018 Guide to Equitable
Sharing for State, Local and Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (GUIDE). All
agencies must transition their federal equitable sharing accounts to their
county finance office by September 30, 2020. The transfer of funds requested above will
provide office space for PBSO staff, via lease, for six months of the current
fiscal year. The PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance
with the GUIDE. The GUIDE provides that seizing law enforcement agencies shall
use Justice and Treasury Forfeiture proceeds for law enforcement purposes only. Permissible uses include: law enforcement
operations and investigations; law enforcement training and education; law
enforcement, public safety, and detention facilities; law enforcement
equipment; joint law enforcement/public safety operations; contracts for services;
law enforcement travel and per diem; law enforcement awards and memorials;
drug, gang and other prevention or awareness programs; matching grants; and
support of community-based organizations. Use of LETF requires approval by the
Board, upon request of the Sheriff. No new positions are needed and no
additional County funds are required. Countywide (DC)
