The parcels are necessary for the widening and construction of a four-lane divided roadway section with new drainage, sidewalks, and paved shoulders for the Project. To date, the property owners have not accepted the offers to purchase made by Palm Beach County and attempts to negotiate the purchases have been unsuccessful. Eminent domain proceedings are necessary to acquire the parcels at this time in order to expedite construction of the Project. This Project is included in the Five Year Road Program. District 6 (BB)

2. Staff recommends motion to:

A) accept a quit claim deed from Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) for Belvedere Road right-of-way east of Caroline Avenue at the E-3 Canal; and

SUMMARY: The quit claim deed from LWDD will give the County any interest LWDD may have in the right-of-way within Belvedere Road at the E-3 Canal. The County deed to LWDD will give LWDD any interest the County may have in the L-3 Canal right-of-way. This conveyance to LWDD, at no cost, is pursuant to Section 125.38, Florida Statutes. Although the County normally reserves its interest in phosphates, minerals, metals and petroleum rights per Section 270.11, Florida Statutes, LWDD has requested the release of this reservation because LWDD requires the property to be free and clear without encumbrances. Acceptance and approval of these deeds will correct the ownership interests of the two parcels. In accordance with Palm Beach County ordinance (2019-038), a supermajority vote (5 votes) is required by the BCC for all transfers of fee simple real property that requires BCC approval.

7. Staff recommends motion to:

A) determine that an extension to the term of the continuing contracts for environmental assessment services is beneficial to the interest, health, safety and welfare of the County and its citizens; and

B) approve Amendment No. 5 to the contracts for environmental assessment services with the following consultants on a continuing contract basis extending the contracts from December 22, 2020 to March 31, 2021:

1) AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (R2015-1253), Non-SBE/Local, 11.06% SBE participation to date;

2) Partner Assessment Corporation d/b/a Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (fka Eco Advisors, LLC) (R2015-1255), Non-SBE/Local, 53.28% SBE participation to date; and

3) Terracon Consultants, Inc. (R2015-1254), Non-SBE/Local, 18.01% SBE participation to date.

SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the continuing contracts on September 22, 2015, which provided for an initial two year term with three renewal options each for a period of one year. Amendment No. 4 (R2020-1339 thru 2020-1341) extended the term of the continuing environmental assessment contracts beyond the initial expiration date of September 21, 2020 for three additional months to December 21, 2020, to allow for advertising and the selection of the firms for the new continuing contract. The department advertised for the new continuing environmental assessment services contracts, but will have to re-advertise, which delays the approval of the new continuing contracts before the current contracts expire on December 21, 2020. Amendment No. 5 will extend services through to March 31, 2021, while the new firms are being selected. These contracts provide for environmental conditions assessments, identification of remedial activities and related consulting and remediation observation services. The existing contracts were awarded under the prior Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance, and the SBE participation goal was 15%. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. committed to an SBE participation goal of 19%; Partner Assessment Corporation d/b/a Partner Engineering and Science, Inc. (fka Eco Advisors, LLC) 93%; and Terracon Consultants, Inc. 15%, respectively. Eco Advisors, LLC was the only consultant that was an SBE. However, on July 23, 2019, the Board approved an Assignment, Assumption & Consent Agreement from Eco Advisors, LLC to Partner Assessment Corporation d/b/a Partner Engineering and Science, Inc., a non-SBE firm. The Office of Equal Business Opportunity has reviewed the existing SBE participation and approved this extension request under the existing contract terms.

The project was delayed after a series of events including the processing of permits, adverse weather conditions and limited access to the facility. The delays that precede extend the project by 91 days for an adjusted substantial completion date of October 7, 2019. Nevertheless, the contractor did not meet the adjusted contract substantial completion date; substantial completion was achieved 102 days later. This deductive change order is being submitted in accordance with Department Policy and Procedure Manual (PPM) FDO-C-001 for the assessment and deduction of liquidated damages from the project value in the amount of $8,160, and County-wide PPM CW-F-50 to increase the project duration to account for the unavoidable delay of 91 calendar days.

A. OFFICE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

1. Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and permission to advertise for public hearing on January 12, 2021 at 9:30 a.m.: an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 2, Article VI, codifying Ordinance 2017-013, the Palm Beach County Equal Employment Ordinance; providing for amending the definition of employer; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: After several amendments, over the past two decades, the Palm Beach County Equal Employment Ordinance (Ordinance) was repealed and replaced in 2017 to bring it into substantial compliance with Federal and State Laws governing equal employment and the County’s policy concerning Advisory Boards such as the Equal Employment Board. Notwithstanding, the current definition of “Employer” protects employees and prospective employees, only where a person that is regularly engaged in an industry affecting commerce has 15 or more employees. Furthermore, the Ordinance “Employer” definition is inconsistent with Miami-Dade County, Broward County and the City of West Palm Beach’s “Employer” definition, which includes any person who in the regular course of business has five or more employees. Amending the definition will expand the protection against discrimination afforded to job applicants and employees in Palm Beach County. The League of Cities has no opposition to the proposed amendment to the Ordinance on the condition that the County conduct outreach regarding the proposed amendment to the small business community. County staff has coordinated with the Office of Equal Business Opportunity to conduct outreach to the small business community regarding the proposed revision. The Equal Employment Board supports the Ordinance in its proposed form. Countywide (DRO)

B. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a resolution authorizing the conveyance of two properties that escheated to the County to the City of Boca Raton (City) pursuant to Section 197.592(3), Florida Statutes, without charge and with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights without rights of entry and exploration; and

B) approve a County Deed in favor of the City.

SUMMARY: The County acquired two properties located within the municipal boundaries of the City by Tax Deed measuring approximately 0.1718 acres and a combined value of $52. These unbuildable properties serve no present or future County purpose. Pursuant to Section 197.592(3), Florida Statutes, properties that escheated to the County for delinquent ad valorem taxes which have not been previously sold, acquired for infill housing or dedicated by the Board of County Commissioners and which have not been conveyed to the former record fee simple owner, shall be conveyed to the municipality in which the property is located. Conveyance will relieve the County of potential liability and maintenance costs on the property. In accordance with Section 270.11, Florida Statutes, the County will retain mineral and petroleum rights without rights of entry and exploration. This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (Property & Real

B. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS (Cont’d)

2. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in a 0.17-acre property to Patricia Antoniou at no charge and without reservation of mineral and petroleum rights; and

B) approve a Quit Claim Deed in favor of Patricia Antoniou.

SUMMARY: Ms. Patricia Antoniou owns a 0.17 improved residential property located at 1715 SW 21^st Street in Boynton Beach. Unbeknownst to the County, on June 8, 2020, Ms. Antoniou recorded a warranty deed, reserving a life estate for herself and conveying one-quarter remainder interest to Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control in the event her heir predeceases her. Staff recommends that the County re-convey the property to Ms. Antoniou without competitive bidding under the alternative disposition procedures established by Ordinance 2019-038. The ordinance requires a finding by the Board that Ms. Antoniou is the only person capable of utilizing the parcel for its highest and best use. Re-conveyance to Ms. Antoniou is justified as the County did not request such conveyance nor did the Board accept the deed. Since Ms. Antoniou recorded the warranty deed, it could cause potential title and liability issues in the future. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Quit Claim Deed in favor of Ms. Antoniou releasing any purported future County interest. Animal Care & Control Division has no objection to this conveyance. This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners) (Property & Real Estate Management) District 3 (HJF)

C. PLANNING, ZONING & BUILDING

1. Staff recommends a motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing Palm Beach County, Florida, to commence the negotiation process for an Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement between Palm Beach County and the City of Greenacres, pursuant to Chapter 171, Part II, Florida Statutes; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: On November 2, 2020, the City of Greenacres adopted an Initiating Resolution No. 2020-45 pursuant to Chapter 171, Part II, Florida Statutes, as a first step in the process of completing an Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) for a designated area outside of the boundaries of the City. Pursuant to Chapter 171, Part II, Florida Statutes, the County shall adopt a Responding Resolution within 60 days after the receipt of an Initiating Resolution. Exhibit "A" of the resolution identifies the unincorporated area for discussion, and is located within the City's future annexation area. The resolution provides options that may be negotiated during the process, including service providers and boundary adjustments. The ISBA was established to encourage local governments to coordinate service delivery and plan for boundary adjustments. By adopting the Responding Resolution, the negotiations can begin; however, the County is not obligated to enter into an interlocal agreement. Additionally, the resolution does not annex any property at this time. Planning staff will work closely with other County departments and City staff following the adoption of the Responding Resolution to develop an interlocal agreement, which will be presented to the Board at a later date.

5. REGULAR AGENDA

D. OFFICE OF RESILIENCE

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: an lnterlocal Agreement with
Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties for the cost-share support of
services for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact effective January 1, 2021 and ending on January 1, 2024. SUMMARY: This Interlocal Agreement (ILA) replaces the ILA approved in resolution R2018-0201, which expires on February 28, 2021. This ILA authorizes Broward County to serve as the fiscal agent overseeing a contract with the non-profit Institute for Sustainable Communities for the continuation of staffing coordination, project management, and facilitation services for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact) to 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the lnterlocal Agreement, each of the four counties will contribute $100,000 per fiscal year for this purpose. This completes a stepwise increase in the amount from the original 2009 agreement of $50,000 due to changes in grant funding. Approval of this item advances and reaffirms Palm Beach County’s commitment to climate resilience planning and regional coordination. Countywide (RPB)

2. Staff recommends motion to approve: Indemnification agreement between Enhanced PACE Finance, LLC, as an Administrator of Florida Resiliency and Energy District, and Palm Beach County, Florida. SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) has authorized a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program for third parties to provide funding for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and wind resistant improvements for residential and commercial properties by levying non-ad valorem assessments on property owners’ tax bills. The County enters into Interlocal Agreements (ILAs) with multiple PACE agencies/authorities/districts (Districts) for them to provide the financing for qualifying improvements. Districts are then required to promptly obtain indemnification agreements from all third party administrators. In the ILA between Palm Beach County and the Florida Resiliency and Energy (FRED) PACE district (R2017-1098), the BCC authorized the County Administrator or designee to execute such indemnification agreements with subsequent administrators of FRED. The BCC then rescinded such delegated authority on September 10, 2019. The Office of Resilience is bringing forth this item because FRED seeks to add Enhanced PACE Finance, LLC (Enhanced) as a PACE administrator for commercial projects, thus requiring an indemnification agreement. This indemnification agreement acknowledges that Enhanced is a third-party administrator for FRED and that Enhanced agrees to indemnify and hold the County harmless as Enhanced assists FRED.
