45 6E-1 ADD-ON/DELETED: Staff recommends motion to name: a roadway within John Prince Park to “Jay DiPietro Way.” SUMMARY: For nearly 30 years, Jay DiPietro served as Chairman of the Club Managers Association of America Florida Chapter Seminole Region (CMAA) Charity Golf Tournament and Gala, which raised funds for 10-12 charitable organizations supporting children with disabilities. One of those organizations was Special Olympics Florida-Palm Beach County operated by the Parks and Recreation Department. During his time as Chairman of the charity golf tournament and under his leadership, Mr. DiPietro and the CMAA donated over $500,000 to Palm Beach County and Special Olympics Florida for the naming rights to the Therapeutic Recreation Complex in John Prince Park. Jay DiPietro was the long time General Manager of Boca West Country Club and an advocate for children particularly those with special needs. The roadway proposed to be named in his honor leads from Lake Worth Road to the Boundless Playground, a four-acre accessible playground that holds a special place in his heart. This request is being brought to the Board for approval at the request of Commissioner Maria Sachs. If approved, Parks will coordinate with Planning, Zoning and Building to have the name officially processed and will fabricate a street sign. District 3 (AH) (Parks)
45-46 6F-1 ADD-ON/REVISED MOTION: Staff recommends motion to: A) request Board
direction regarding a conceptual Term Sheet with the
University of Florida (UF) for the
potential conveyance of approximately 5.03 acres of County-owned property in
the City of West Palm Beach to UF for the purpose of the development of an
Urban Campus; B) approve a conceptual Term
Sheet with the UF for the potential conveyance of approximately 5.03 acres of County-owned
property in the City of West Palm Beach
to UF for the purpose of the
development of an Urban Campus; C) authorize the County
Administrator or designee, which in this case shall be the Director of the
Facilities Development and Operations department, to commence negotiations with
UF towards finalizing a Term Sheet and the development of a potential Conveyance Agreement based upon the
approved conceptual Term Sheet; and D) authorize County staff to
initiate the due diligence and master planning process for the
County-owned 45th Street
property (southeast corner of 45th Street and Australian
Avenue in the City of West Palm Beach) required in preparation for the
potential relocation of the Community Services Department. SUMMARY: On
August 24, 2021, the mayors of the City of West Palm Beach (City) and Palm
Beach County (County) held a joint press conference to announce an educational
initiative for the region. The initiative provides for the conveyance of real
estate owned by the City, County and a private third party(s) within the area
historically known as Government Hill in downtown West Palm Beach to UF for the
planning, design and construction of an urban educational campus focused on
graduate, professional and executive programs. On August 31, 2021, the Board of
County Commissioners (Board) instructed staff to commence conversations with UF
and the City towards reaching mutual understandings and the necessary
agreements for the development of an Urban Campus, and to consider four key
elements: reversionary rights, use restrictions, closing costs and development
timeline. On December 7, 2021, staff provided the Board a status report
regarding the collaboration with UF and the City towards the development of the
Urban Campus. Since then, staff and UF representatives have remained engaged in
conversations towards developing a conceptual Term Sheet for approval by the
Board. In mid-January 2022, UF notified staff that in order for the budget
appropriation process to progress at the state level, additional reassurances
as to the County’s commitment towards the development of the Urban Campus were
required. As a result, staff and UF representatives increased efforts towards
reaching a final agreement on the conceptual Term Sheet. Although significant
progress has been made and mutual agreements have been reached between County
and UF staff on most terms, the conceptual Term Sheet being submitted today for
approval by the Board reflects that further negotiations are required regarding
two material terms: 1) the extent of the reversionary rights to
be retained by the County, and 2) the definition of allowable private uses on
County-owned properties. If the Board approves the conceptual Term Sheet as
presented, staff will proceed to negotiate with UF towards finalizing the Term
Sheet and drafting a Conveyance Agreement, which will include, among other
matters, a clear approach to the two pending material terms. Approval of the conceptual Term Sheet does
not authorize conveyance of the properties, nor bind the Board to convey, or UF
to accept, the same. The Conveyance Agreement would be brought to the Board
for approval at a later time. If staff and UF fail to reach an agreement on the
pending material terms or any other matters, then staff would return to the
Board seeking further direction and/or either party, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may terminate negotiations as the conceptual Term Sheet is
non-binding. The County’s current holdings on Government Hill amount to 5.03
acres with an assessed value, as reported by the Property Appraiser’s Office,
of $12,853,662. In preparation for a possible conveyance action, staff obtained
two separate appraisals (prepared by Callaway & Price, Inc. and M.R. Ford &
Associates, Inc.) which average to a fee simple interest market value for the
properties totaling $42,072,500. The City’s holdings amount to approximately
2.2 acres and the private holdings amount to approximately 4.5 acres. (FDO

46 6G-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion granting request by
the County Attorney to: 1) schedule a private meeting for an
attorney-client session between the Board of County Commissioners, the County
Administrator, Chief Assistant County Attorney, and outside counsel pursuant to
Section 286.011(8), Florida Statutes to discuss settlement negotiations in
pending litigation of which Palm Beach County is presently a party: In re:
National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Case Number: MDL 2804 (N.D. Ohio)
and Palm Beach County v. Purdue Pharma, et al., Case Number:
1:18-op-46121-DAP (N.D. Ohio); and 2) to give public notice of a private
meeting for an attorney-client session, which will be held at 12:00 p.m. on March 8, 2022, in the
McEaddy Conference Room at 301 North Olive Avenue, 12th Floor, West
Palm Beach, Florida, and placing further notice of the private meeting on the
Agenda of the Board of County Commissioners for its meeting. The following
persons will attend the meeting with the members of the Board of County
Commissioners who are present at that time: Verdenia Baker, County
Administrator; Denise Coffman, County Attorney; David Ottey, Chief Assistant
County Attorney; and Shayna E. Sacks, outside counsel. SUMMARY: The Board will discuss settlement negotiations. Countywide

SUMMARY: Per Resolution No. R2008-1810 (which was repealed and replaced with R2013-1471), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) established the WRTF which is comprised of a total of 28 representatives (14 members and 14 designated alternates for each seat). The 14 seats are as follows: six City elected officials; one County Commissioner (or their appointee); one special independent district and/or utility water/wastewater provider official; one Lake Worth Drainage District representative; one drainage/water control district elected official; one South Florida Water Management District Governing Board member; one environmental representative; one land owner in Palm Beach County actively farming that land to represent agricultural interests; and one Indian Trail Improvement District representative. The diversity of the current 9 WRTF members and 3 alternates is as follows: 12 Caucasian (100%). The gender ratio (female:male) is 3:9. Both above appointees are females; one is Asian American, the other is Caucasian. Staff is actively seeking to increase diversity on this board. One City elected official, the environmental representative, the agricultural representative, and the drainage/water control district elected official member seats and ten alternate seats remain vacant at this time. Staff requested the BCC to submit nominees for the water/wastewater provider official seat on December 20, 2021. Countywide (MJ)

1. Staff
recommends motion to adopt: a resolution amending Resolution No. R90-1386
to approve amended Professional Consultant Qualification Application Procedures
and to delegate authority to the County Engineer to amend such procedures, as
necessary. SUMMARY: This resolution amends Resolution No.
R90-1386 to approve amended Professional Consultant Qualification Application
Procedures, including the Professional Consultant Qualification Application and
Work Category Definitions (collectively, Application Procedures) and to
delegate authority to the County Engineer to amend the Application Procedures,
as necessary. All other provisions of Resolution No. R90-1386 remain unchanged.
Engineering and Public Works Department staff currently administer the
Application Procedures, the results of which are utilized by the five County
Departments with delegated construction authority (Department of Airports,
Engineering and Public Works, Environmental Resources Management, Facilities
Development and Operations, and Water Utilities). Future amendments to the
Application Procedures are anticipated to be needed to enable certification of
firms qualified to perform professional water resources engineering services
including, but not limited to, regional water resources evaluations, stormwater
management planning and design, flood modeling analysis and mapping, water
quality and septic tank evaluations, flooding and sea level rise vulnerability
assessments and other resilience-related professional services. This resolution
allows necessary amendments to the Application Procedures to be implemented in
a timely and efficient manner. Countywide (YBH)

2. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a resolution amending Resolution R2019-1683 for the Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) special assessment for Chase Court, Dixie Lane, Dryden Road and Arlington Drive paving and drainage improvements (Project) to modify the assessed footage to the property with Property Control Number (PCN) 00-42-44-02-01-000-134.0; to reduce the Project’s total assessment amount by approximately $5,796.84; and to authorize the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller of Palm Beach County (Clerk) to refund the total overpayment received from the property with PCN 00-42-44-02-01-000-134.0, plus interest. SUMMARY: Adoption of the resolution will modify the MSTU special assessment for the property with PCN 00-42-44-02-01-000-134.0, located at the corner of Chase Court and Dixie Lane (Property), both roads being part of the Project. The County has become aware that the Property was assessed for more than its share of the Project. The MSTU Policy at the time of the assessment was that any property located on a corner lot would be assessed based on the average of the abutting footage on each road, where both roads were part of the special assessment project. The Property was instead assessed the sum of the abutting footage of both roads. This resolution will allow Palm Beach County to refund the overpayment plus interest to the Property owner. Modification of the assessed footage for the Property will reduce the Project’s total special assessment amount from $288,405.78 to $282,608.94. The estimated amount of refund is $5,796.84, as the actual value of the refund will be determined by the Clerk upon filing the resolution due to interest. The special assessment to the remaining benefitting properties will not be affected. District 2 (YBH)

2. (Cont’d) SUMMARY:
Per the Department of Elder
Affairs, per Chapter 430, Florida Statutes, AAA is designated to administer
programs. The above-listed amendments include Paragraph 11.8 in accordance with
the Governor’s Executive Order 20-44, which requires executive agencies to
submit a list of entities named in statute with which a state agency must form
a sole-source, public-private agreement, or an entity that through contract or
other agreement with the State, annually receives 50% or more of their budget
from the State or from a combination of state and federal funds. Any entity
that meets one or both of the criteria listed must submit an annual report,
including the most recent IRS Form 990, detailing the total compensation for
the entity’s executive leadership teams within 30 days of execution of this
agreement. This language does not apply to the County, as the County does not
currently receive more than 50% of its funding from state and federal grants,
but if this ratio changes, the language may apply. The amendments allow
the DSVS to provide services to seniors and their caregivers. Under the CCE
agreement (CSFA No. 65.010), seniors and caregivers are assisted with in-home
services that help seniors live independently. In
Grant Year (GY) 2016-2019, the CCE program served 676 clients, provided
6,931 hours of case management and 282,909 hours of in-home services. Under the
HCE agreement (CSFA No. 65.001), DSVS assists older adults and caregivers with
the provision of care in a family-type living arrangement as an alternative to
institutional care. In GY 2016-2019, the HCE program served 167 clients,
provided 2,006 hours of case management and 13,405 hours of in-home services.
Under the ADI agreement (CSFA No. 65.002 & 65.004), DSVS provides case
management, in-home respite and facility-based respite. In GY 2016- 2019, the
ADI program served 302 clients, provided 2,892 hours of case management and
178,987 hours of in-home services. Under the OAA agreement (CFDA No. 93.044, 93.045 & 93.052), DSVS provides several
programs that serve seniors. In Calendar Year (CY) 2019 – 2020, the congregate
meal program served 2,585 seniors, the home-delivered meal program served 1,312
seniors and the in-home services program served 112 seniors. Under the ICV21
agreement (CFDA No. 93.045 & 93.044), DSVS served 50 seniors with nutrition
services. The Coronavirus Response and Relief Services are funded with $61,960
in federal funds. The budget amendment is necessary to align the County budget
with the actual grant award. The DSVS is responsible for providing services
north of Hypoluxo Road. The areas of service include all of the districts,
excluding District 3, 4, 5 and 7 south of Hypoluxo Rd. The Mae Volen Center,
Inc. is responsible for providing services in the areas south of Hypoluxo Road.

motion to approve: agreements for Provision of Financial Assistance
with the below-listed agencies, for the period October 1, 2021 through
September 30, 2024, in an amount totaling $645,450, of which $215,150 is
budgeted in FY 2022, with an anticipated annual allocation of $215,150 in each
subsequent fiscal year, contingent upon a budgetary appropriation by the Board
of County Commissioners, for the term of these contracts, to provide services
in the service category of economic stability:
A) Gulfstream Goodwill Industries,
Inc. (GGI), for the provision of supportive services to homeless individuals,
in an amount not-to-exceed $359,307,
of which $119,769 is budgeted in FY 2022, with an anticipated annual allocation
of $119,769 in each subsequent fiscal year for the term of this agreement; and
B) The Lord’s Place, Inc. (TLP), for the provision of housing
services to homeless individuals, in an amount not-to-exceed $286,143, of which
$95,381 is budgeted in FY 2022, with anticipated annual allocation of $95,381
in each subsequent fiscal year for term of this agreement.
SUMMARY: The contracted
agencies listed will provide a variety of supportive services to homeless
individuals in Palm Beach County, which include case management, navigation,
employment counseling, engagement, and permanent supportive housing. GGI only
provides support services and uses other sources to pay for housing. The
estimated cost of these services are $2,395.38 per client which has a lower
cost of service compared to housing services provided by TLP under their

SUMMARY: On October 25,
2021, the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Treasury released instructions on
requesting additional ERAP 1 funding that may be available due to reallocations
from under-performing jurisdictions. As a high-performing jurisdiction and
based on program needs, Palm Beach County requested an additional $30,000,000.
On August 17, 2021, the BCC approved the full allocation of $48,921,764 for
ERAP 2 funding. The U.S. Treasury
released $19,568,705.56 (40%) of the allocation, with the remaining 60% to be
released once 75% spending of the first disbursement was reached. The 75% was
reached on December 8, 2021, and the remaining 60% was requested and funds were
received. The emergency signature process was used as there was not sufficient
time to submit the request through the regular agenda process without fully
depleting the first disbursement. As of December 31, 2021, $50,356,933 has been
disbursed on behalf of 6,682 unduplicated households under ERAP. Since March
18, 2020, $100,106,593 has been disbursed in direct client assistance across

No. 20 to the continuing construction manager at risk contract with Robling
Architecture Construction, Inc. (Robling) in the amount of $39,249 for the
Convention Center Sky Room Courtyard project with an increase to the project
duration of 80 calendar days. SUMMARY:
On June 21, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the
continuing contract (R2016-0762) with Robling for construction management
services for various capital improvement projects throughout the County. On May
5, 2020, the Board approved Amendment No. 20 (R2020-0441) to the contract with
Robling establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in the amount of
$1,217,482 to construct a courtyard at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.
Change Order No. 01 authorized the procurement and delivery of furniture for
the sky room and extended the project duration by 85 calendar days. On March 9,
2021, the Board approved Change Order No. 2 (R2021-0335) that authorized an
extension of 191 calendar days to the project duration for delays associated
with the artist fabricator’s reduced hours of operations and staff levels in
response to the coronavirus pandemic. Change Order No. 3 authorized the
installation of additional fire alarm gate hardware, relocation of light
fixtures, paver modifications, additional lighting fixtures, installation of an
upgraded paver sealer and an extension to the contract duration of 80 calendar
days. In accordance with Policies and Procedures Memorandum (PPM) CW-F-050,
when the cumulative value of time extensions, approved by the Contract Review
Committee or Department Director, totals or exceeds 120 days of the original
project completion date, an agenda item notifying the Board of the item that
puts project in the excess category must be presented as a receive and file. To
date, the cumulative value of change orders to extend the project duration,
including Change Order No. 03, totals 165 calendar days. This agenda item is
being submitted to notify the Board that Change Order No. 03 puts the
cumulative value of time extensions over the 120 days threshold established by
PPM CW-F-050. The continuing construction manager (CM) contract was awarded
pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) ordinance but this GMP, having
been initiated after January 1, 2019, is subject to the requirements of the
Equal Business Opportunity ordinance. The CM is not an SBE. The continuing CM
contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on February 20, 2019 and
an Affirmative Procurement Initiative of 20% SBE participation was applied to
the contract. SBE participation on this amendment is 56.67%. The SBE
participation on Change Order No. 3 is 92.63%. The revised SBE participation,
after including Change Orders No. 1 through 3, is 59.14%. To date, the overall
SBE participation on the continuing Construction Manager contract is 39.74%.
The CM is a Palm Beach County business. The funding source for this project is
the Airport Center 2 (AC2) and Convention Center Parking Garage bond which debt
service is funded by the Tourist Development Tax 1st cent fund.

construction management services for the Fire Station No. 21 Renovation project
in the amount of $54,170.21 and extending the project duration by 187
days. SUMMARY: On June 2, 2020,
the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Amendment No. 21
(R2020-0559) to the continuing construction manager at risk contract with
Robling Architecture Construction, Inc. (Robling) in the amount of $775,570.08.
Amendment No. 21 authorized construction phase services to reconfigure the
existing floor plan at Fire Station No. 21 to include private bunkrooms, restrooms
for staff, additional storage and a public restroom and entrance that are ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. Change order No. 5 to Amendment
No. 21 includes construction phase services for unforeseen conditions including
additional required structural framing, the replacement of the existing heating
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and an extension of 187 days to
the contract duration in order to complete the work. After construction
commenced, staff identified the need to replace two older HVAC systems as the
units are near the end of their service life and there are efficiencies to be
gained by replacing them during the existing renovation project at Fire Station
No. 21. This continuing construction management contract was presented to the
Goal Setting Committee on February 20, 2019 and the Committee established an
Affirmative Procurement Initiative of a 20% Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
subcontracting goal on the contract. Robling was an SBE, at the time this
continuing contract was approved. Robling committed to 35.97% for Amendment No.

$887,456.29. The SBE participation for Change Order No. 5 is 74.77%. The
overall SBE participation on the annual contract is 37.33%. Robling is a local business. The funding

$662,103 for a period of 365 calendar days from permit issuance. SUMMARY: On February 11, 2020, the Board of County
Commissioners (Board) approved the annual minor construction contract with
All-Site for repairs, improvements and renovations to County properties. Work
Order No. 22-004 authorizes the addition of 775 square feet to the existing
one-story Fire Station #45 to include ten new sleeping rooms (bunk rooms), and
an extension to the existing weight room. Additionally, the work includes, but
is not limited to, new signage in the renovated/added areas; reconfiguration of
the existing mechanical duct work; modifications to the existing fire sprinkler
system, existing fire alarm, existing intrusion alarm and closed-circuit
television systems for the building; modifications to tie-in the new addition
into the existing generator; new parking stalls; new foundation landscaping;
and revisions to the existing site drainage system. Fire Rescue requested the
aforementioned changes to accommodate the existing employees and the potential
for additional staffing needs during natural disasters and emergencies. This
project was competitively advertised, and new contractors were invited to bid
on the project by submitting prequalification documents prior to the submission
of the bid response. The contractor, All-Site, will have 365 calendar days from
permit issuance to substantially complete the project. Liquidated damages for
failure to achieve certification of substantial completion within the contract
time or approved time extension thereof are $211 per day. On August 21, 2019,
the Goal Setting Committee applied the following Affirmative Procurement
Initiatives (API) for this annual contract: 1) Sheltered market for projects
less than $100,000, when three or more Small Business Enterprises (SBE) are
qualified; or 2) 10% SBE Price Preference for single-trade projects $100,000 or
greater; or 3) a minimum mandatory 25% SBE subcontracting goal for multi-trade
projects $100,000 and over. Since this is a multi-trade project over $100,000,
the applicable API is a mandatory subcontracting goal of 25%. All-Site is a
Small/Minority Business Enterprise and committed to 80.35% SBE participation on
this work order. To date, the overall SBE participation on the annual minor
construction contract is 81.62%. All-Site is a local business. Funding for this

Building effective February 8, 2022. SUMMARY: On February 4, 2020, the
Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a Concessionaire Lease Agreement
(Agreement) with Ultimate Bakery & Pastry Inc. (Ultimate) for the operation
of a food service concession at the County’s Vista Center 2300 Building. In
mid-March 2020, State and Local emergency orders associated with the Covid-19
pandemic forced area buildings and business closures. While Ultimate remained
open and continued to provide services, a reduction in customers due to
decreased on-site County staffing and area business closures, resulted in
reduced business. Ultimate requested rental abatement to assist in offsetting
the financial loss resulting from the business volume reduction; however, they
were not in full compliance with the Concessionaire Lease Agreement (i.e. there
were issues with insurance, menu and pricing, and equipment). Staff worked with Ultimate to bring the
Agreement into full compliance in an effort to support Ultimate’s request for
rental abatements. Full compliance with
the Concessionaire Lease Agreement was reached in June 2021. Staff was in the
process of evaluating the request for rental abatement when, on July 12, 2021,
Ultimate notified the County that due to the impacts of Covid-19 on its
business and personal health issues, it
is no longer capable of operating the concession. Therefore, Ultimate requested termination of the Concessionaire
Lease Agreement. This Termination Agreement terminates the Concessionaire Lease
Agreement; provides abatement of rental payments retroactively to August 1,
2021 through the termination effective date; provides Ultimate access to the
premises for 60 days from the termination effective date for restoration of
premises, removal of equipment and acceptance of the premises by the County;
and releases all claims each party may possess against the other. Upon

Water Treatment Plant #2 Treatment and Disposal Improvements (WTP 2 Contract)
with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) for Construction Phase Services for
a not to exceed amount of $1,620,534.12.
SUMMARY: On July 1, 2021, the Palm
Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) received two bids for the
Project (PBCWUD Project No. 18-066R). The Project includes furnishing all
materials, labor, supervision, equipment, supplies, fees, expertise and
services necessary to construct: one Class I injection well, including the
installation of wellhead components; one associated dual-zone deep monitor well
including the installation of wellhead components; four water-table monitor
wells; concrete slabs for well pads; secondary containment, waste brine storage
tank, piping and pumps; asphalt and shellrock access road; and all electrical,
instrumentation, piping, valves, pumps, paving, general civil site and other
appurtenances for a complete fully functioning system. This Project was
procured under the requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance
(EBO). On January 20, 2021, the Goal Setting Committee approved an Affirmative
Procurement Initiative (API) of a minimum mandatory 5% Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) subcontracting participation goal. On September 15, 2021, All
Webbs Enterprises, Inc. (AWE) filed a bid protest claiming AWE did not receive
participation credit for its forces and the selection criteria limited
qualification to one bidder. On October 5, 2021, the Director of Purchasing
recommended the bid protest be denied.
No further action was taken on behalf of AWE. YBI was determined to the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder in the amount of $15,749,876. YBI has
met the established API for this Project. The contract with YBI provides for
7.7% SBE participation. On June 30, 2021, a verified complaint and petition for
writ of mandamus was filed, whereby YBI sued the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC), Palm Beach County. This lawsuit arose from the cancelation of the
previous bid in this matter, in which YBI was the apparent low bidder. The County and YBI have agreed to temporarily
stay the lawsuit pending the BCC’s vote on the contract with YBI. On September
18, 2018, the BCC approved the PBCWUD WTP 2 Contract (R2018-1385) with KHA to
provide consulting/professional engineering services. Under CSA No. 2, KHA will
provide services during construction of the Project. The WTP 2 Contract with
KHA was procured under the requirements of the 2002 SBE Ordinance (R2002-0064)
prior to the adoption of the new EBO Ordinance on October 16, 2018. The SBE
participation goal established under the 2002 Ordinance was 15% overall
participation. The WTP 2 Contract
provides for 54% SBE participation, which includes 4% M/WBE participation. CSA
No. 2 includes 78.36% SBE participation, which includes 3.86% M/WBE participation.
The cumulative SBE participation including CSA No. 2 is 60.25% SBE, which
includes 14.82% M/WBE. KHA is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, but
maintains an office in Palm Beach County from which the majority of the work
will be undertaken. The Project is included in the PBCWUD FY22 budget. (PBCWUD Project Nos.

(R2019-1542) with Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC (APTIM) in an
amount not to exceed $202,198.42 providing for sea turtle monitoring services
during the 2022 sea turtle nesting season.
SUMMARY: The Board of County
Commissioners approved the Contract with APTIM, a Palm Beach County company, on
October 8, 2019 (R2019-1542). Task Order No. 1542-12 authorizes APTIM to manage
permit-required sea turtle monitoring activities in association with the South
Lake Worth Inlet Sand Transfer Plant Reconstruction Project, the Ocean Ridge
Shore Protection Project, and the Singer Island Dune Restoration Project. The
Task Order is funded by the Beach Improvement Fund and is eligible for cost
sharing from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The Contract
requires APTIM to adhere to 20% mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
subcontracting goal as the Affirmative Procurement Initiative. APTIM committed
to an overall 25% SBE participation in the contract. SBE participation for this

assistance in response to Hurricane Dorian ($382,713.75), and through an
Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Jupiter ($139,594.04). The State and Federal agreements prohibit local geographical preferences
in construction procurements involving federal funds, so the County’s Office of
Equal Business Opportunity Program, Local Preference, Glades Local Preference,
Glades Resident Incentive, and Apprentice Incentive could not be included in
this competitive solicitation. The cost

approve State Mosquito
Control Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Contract No. 28280 with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services (FDACS) for mosquito control activities performed during contract
period upon execution to September 30, 2022;
B)

decrease in the grant award amount; and
C)
authorize the County
Administrator or designee to sign all future time extensions, task assignments,
certifications, and other forms associated with the MOU that do not
substantially change the terms or conditions of the MOU.
SUMMARY: On December 8, 2020 (R2020-1819), the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) approved State Financial Assistance Recipient
Agreement No. 27303 with FDACS for an amount not to exceed $50,689. The agreement
provides state aid in quarterly installments to support mosquito control
activities including source reduction measures, public education, personnel
training and certification, mosquito population surveillance, larvacides,
adulticides, equipment and alerts as approved by FDACS. On June
15, 2021, the BCC approved the
Detailed Work Plan Budget required by FDACS as part of the re-application
process for state aid for FY2022. The County anticipated receiving a new
agreement from FDACS in the amount of $50,689. However, no grant assistance was
awarded for FY2022. Although this loss of revenue will reduce the amount of
chemical acquired for mosquito control operations, the Mosquito Control
Division maintains a sufficient supply for normal operations and can continue
to meet the necessary level of service for the County. The Mosquito Control
Division is still responsible for the completion of monthly deliverables as
stated in the MOU. This MOU is required by Florida Administrative Code Rule
5E-13.022 for counties that are not eligible to receive state aid for control
of arthropods, but want to remain in the state-approved program. The benefit to
the County staying in the state-approved program is maintaining the status of
Palm Beach County’s Mosquito Control Division as “state-approved”, providing
legitimacy and guidance of the FDACS while servicing Palm Beach County
residents. There is no cost to the
County. Countywide (SS)

SUMMARY: On November
2, 2021, the Board ratified the Mayor’s signature on the JAG Grant applications
(R2021-1623). Palm Beach County was allocated $20,000 in FY20 JAG funds (County
FY21) to fund PalmFuse from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2022. The grant was budgeted for $77,263, which was
an estimate based on prior year FDLE funding. This downward budget
amendment reduces the grant budget to the final award amount of $20,000. Due to time constraints, the award was signed
to expedite the process of accepting the application. The PalmFUSE Program was
a three-year pilot project to break the cycle of incarceration and homelessness
among individuals with complex behavioral health challenges. Grant funding was
allocated to fund a Program Coordinator (pay grade 30) position. The grant
funding for this position ended September 30, 2021. Therefore, staff is

application electronically submitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security’s (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on December 17,
2021, requesting $711,956 to fund 90% of the purchase of 44 automatic chest

and
B) the designation of the County Administrator
or designee to act as the County’s representative for the purpose of
electronically signing and submitting the FY 2021 AFG grant application, including Assurances and Certifications via
the DHS FEMA website.
SUMMARY: This grant
application requests $711,956 from DHS FEMA for the purchase of 44 automatic
chest compression devices, which will be added to our front line Advanced Life
Support (ALS) engines. The total project cost identified in the grant
application is $783,151.60. The required match for this grant is $71,195.60
(10% of the federal share), which will be funded from Fire Rescue’s contingency
reserve. If awarded, the grant will add automatic chest compression devices to
all front line engines that do not currently have this device. This device
performs automated CPR on a patient and is already on all our frontline rescue
units. Performing effective manual chest compressions is exceedingly difficult,
the quality varies depending on the responder and the first responder
performing CPR gets fatigued quickly. As this happens, the effectiveness of
manual chest compressions decreases. Having this device on all front line units
will standardize cardiac arrest care and will also reduce the exposure to
COVID-19 and other communicable diseases by limiting the first responder’s
proximity to the patient. The investment
to add these devices to our ALS engines will provide immeasurable benefits to
our citizens. Due to the preparation time, submittal deadlines known at the
time, and BCC meeting dates, the grant application had to be submitted under
the emergency process prior to full Board approval. Countywide (SB)

motion to approve: the disposal of 150 fare boxes by donating them to
Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works for $0.00. SUMMARY:
Palm Tran needs to dispose of 150 fare boxes that have reached the end of their

disposing as scrap. The fare boxes are only used by public transit agencies and
there is no known market for the sale of these items. In accordance with County

property to other governmental units (as defined in section 274.01(1) F.S.) or
private nonprofit agencies (as defined in section 273.01(3) F.S.). Palm Beach
County’s Fixed Asset Management Office (FAMO) is unable to determine a fair
market value for these items prior to completion of a sale. FAMO concurs that
donation of the fare boxes would be a more viable option, and that the fare
boxes will continue to serve a public purpose, since a fair market value would
be difficult to establish. Countywide (MM)

State, Local and Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (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;

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. The transfer of Federal Justice LETF requested above provide
equipment for the PBSO Maritime Radar Project. The current Federal Justice LETF
balance is $194.907. Approval of this request will reduce the Federal Justice
LETF balance to $44,907. The PBSO

SUMMARY: Section 932.7055(5), Florida Statutes, provides that the seizing
agency shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime
prevention, safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or
for other law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of
protracted or complex investigations, providing additional equipment or
expertise, purchasing automated external defibrillators, and providing matching
grant funds. Section 932.7055(5), Florida
Statutes, also requires that no less than 25% of the LETF’s previous year’s
revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse
education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school
resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY
2022 donation requirement is $130,243. The PBSO’s support of these programs
exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime
throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into
these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The year-to-date transfer for all donations to
outside organizations after approval of this item is $420,500. The funds
requested are to aid PBSO and qualified organizations that meet the
requirements set forth in Section
932.7055(5), Florida Statutes. Use of LETF requires approval by the
Board, upon request of the Sheriff. The
current State LETF balance is $2,697,325. Approval of this request will reduce
the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $2,276,825. The
PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with Section 932.7055(5), Florida
Statutes. Below is a table indicating
the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of
funding proposed per respective organization or agency. No new positions are needed and no additional

contains an indemnification provision that differs from that adopted for use by
the County under PPM CW-F-049. The grant requires the County, to the extent
permitted by law and in accordance with the provisions of Section 768.28,
Florida Statutes, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FDOT and all of its
officers, agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or
expense arising out of the County’s non-compliance in the performance of this
agreement, including that of its officers, agents, or employees. The indemnification obligation must also be passed on to
contractors and/or consultants. An
exception to the indemnification language approved by the County’s PPM is
potentially warranted here, taking into consideration the County’s need to
provide the services, the amount of the grant award, the County’s current
performance of such services and liability for its own acts, and the non-waiver
of sovereign immunity beyond the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes. As a result, the Risk Management
Department and the County Attorney’s Office do not
object to this exception to the standard and have advised Palm Tran to present
this matter directly for Board approval. Countywide (MM)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the third amendment to the Palm Beach County’s State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program Local Housing Assistance Plan
(LHAP) for Fiscal Years 2019/2020, 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. SUMMARY: On December 1, 2021, the Commission on
Affordable Housing (CAH) adopted its 2021 Affordable Housing Incentives Review
and Recommendations Report (the Report), including 9 recommendations addressing
11 affordable housing incentive areas identified in Section 420.9076(4), Florida
Statutes. The recommendations were
developed through a process that included input from community and industry
stakeholders and consultation with the Department of Housing and Economic
Development, the Department of Planning, Zoning and Building, and the
Engineering and Public Works Department.
Staff supports or partially supports eight of the CAH recommendations,
which relate to expedited approvals, review of fees, infrastructure capacity,
accessory dwelling units, street requirements, inventory of public lands,
development near transportation hubs and flexible zoning. Staff does not support the CAH recommendation
that would expand the responsibilities of the Land Development Regulation
Advisory Board. A summary of the CAH recommendations and staff comments and
recommendations is included as Attachment 1 to this agenda item. The Report is
provided as Attachment 2 to this agenda item. The Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) has the sole authority to approve the LHAP, amendments thereto, and the
housing incentives contained therein. Staff recommends that the BCC approve the
proposed third amendment to the Palm Beach County SHIP Program LHAP, incorporating
the eight staff supported CAH recommendations into the descriptions of
affordable housing incentives which the County implements. The approved third amendment
will be sent to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation by the March 1, 2022
deadline. Countywide (HJF)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on
February 24, 2022, at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida; repealing Chapter 27, Article VI, Sections 27-111 through 27-117 of
the Palm Beach County Code (Ordinance No. 93-3) in its entirety and replacing
it with the Palm Beach County Mandatory Year-Round Landscape Irrigation
Conservation Measures Ordinance; providing for a title; providing for
applicability; providing for definitions; providing for year-round landscape
irrigation conservation measures; providing for exceptions to the landscape
irrigation schedules; providing for variances; providing for enforcement;
providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing
for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions;
providing for savings clause; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: The
Palm Beach County (County) Water and Irrigation Conservation Ordinance
(adopted in 1991 and repealed and replaced in 1993) is a Countywide ordinance
that includes permanent restrictions on landscape irrigation and a regulatory
framework and guidance document to help ensure consistent water and landscape
irrigation conservation throughout the County. In an effort to increase water resources
conservation and improve regulatory consistency with the South Florida Water
Management District’s (SFWMD) Mandatory Year-Round Landscape Irrigation
Conservation Measures Rule that was adopted in 2010, it is necessary to adopt a
new landscape irrigation conservation measures ordinance. In January 2021, the
Palm Beach County Water Resources Task Force adopted a resolution encouraging
the County, and all municipalities within the County, to promote water
conservation through the adoption of local ordinances in accordance with the
SFWMD Landscape Irrigation Rule. While
the existing Water and Irrigation Conservation ordinance applies
Countywide, based on discussion with the Palm Beach County League of Cities,
Inc., this new Ordinance applies only to water users within unincorporated
areas of the County. Countywide (MJ)
E. PARKS &
RECREATION
1. ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to name: a roadway within John Prince Park to “Jay DiPietro Way.” SUMMARY: For nearly 30 years, Jay DiPietro served as Chairman of the
Club Managers Association of America Florida Chapter Seminole Region (CMAA)
Charity Golf Tournament and Gala, which raised funds for 10-12 charitable
organizations supporting children with disabilities. One of those organizations
was Special Olympics Florida-Palm Beach County operated by the Parks and
Recreation Department. During his time as Chairman of the charity golf
tournament and under his leadership, Mr. DiPietro and the CMAA donated over
$500,000 to Palm Beach County and Special Olympics Florida for the naming
rights to the Therapeutic Recreation Complex in John Prince Park. Jay DiPietro
was the long time General Manager of Boca West Country Club and an advocate for
children particularly those with special needs. The roadway proposed to be named
in his honor leads from Lake Worth Road to the Boundless Playground, a
four-acre accessible playground that holds a special place in his heart. This
request is being brought to the Board for approval at the request of
Commissioner Maria Sachs. If approved, Parks will coordinate with Planning,
Zoning and Building to have the name officially processed and will fabricate a
street sign. District 3 (AH)

DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS
1. (Cont’d) SUMMARY: On August
24, 2021, the mayors of the City of West Palm Beach (City) and Palm Beach
County (County) held a joint press conference to announce an educational
initiative for the region. The initiative provides for the conveyance of real
estate owned by the City, County and a private third party(s) within the area
historically known as Government Hill in downtown West Palm Beach to UF for the
planning, design and construction of an urban educational campus focused on
graduate, professional and executive programs. On August 31, 2021, the Board of
County Commissioners (Board) instructed staff to commence conversations with UF
and the City towards reaching mutual understandings and the necessary
agreements for the development of an Urban Campus, and to consider four key elements:
reversionary rights, use restrictions, closing costs and development timeline.
On December 7, 2021, staff provided the Board a status report regarding the
collaboration with UF and the City towards the development of the Urban Campus.
Since then, staff and UF representatives have remained engaged in conversations
towards developing a conceptual Term Sheet for approval by the Board. In
mid-January 2022, UF notified staff that in order for the budget appropriation
process to progress at the state level, additional reassurances as to the
County’s commitment towards the development of the Urban Campus were required.
As a result, staff and UF representatives increased efforts towards reaching a
final agreement on the conceptual Term Sheet. Although significant progress has
been made and mutual agreements have been reached between County and UF staff
on most terms, the conceptual Term Sheet being submitted today for approval by
the Board reflects that further negotiations are required regarding two
material terms: 1) the extent of the reversionary rights to be retained
by the County, and 2) the definition of allowable private uses on County-owned
properties. If the Board approves the
conceptual Term Sheet as presented, staff will proceed to negotiate with UF
towards finalizing the Term Sheet and drafting a Conveyance Agreement, which
will include, among other matters, a clear approach to the two pending material
terms. Approval of the conceptual
Term Sheet does not authorize conveyance of the properties, nor bind the Board
to convey, or UF to accept, the same. The Conveyance Agreement would be
brought to the Board for approval at a later time. If staff and UF fail to
reach an agreement on the pending material terms or any other matters, then
staff would return to the Board seeking further direction and/or either party,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may terminate negotiations as the
conceptual Term Sheet is non-binding. The County’s current holdings on
Government Hill amount to 5.03 acres with an assessed value, as reported by the
Property Appraiser’s Office, of $12,853,662. In preparation for a possible
conveyance action, staff obtained two separate appraisals (prepared by Callaway
& Price, Inc. and M.R. Ford & Associates, Inc.) which average to a fee simple
interest market value for the properties totaling $42,072,500. The City’s
holdings amount to approximately 2.2 acres and the private holdings amount to
approximately 4.5 acres. (FDO Admin) District 7/Countywide (HJF)
