E. COMMUNITY SERVICES (Cont’d)

2. (Cont’d) SUMMARY: SEFBHN will operate the EMBARCC program. This program will improve long-term recovery outcomes and quality of care by operating and expanding a comprehensive neutral care coordination program to act as an initial and central point of contact for individuals seeking substance use disorder and mental health treatment services. The program will play a pivotal role in an overall transformation towards a recovery-oriented system of care by improving identification of behavioral health needs, maximizing coordination and linkage with needed services across health domains, and optimizing utilization of levels of care in a manner, which is cost-effective, and maximizes the benefit to the individuals receiving services. This will result in anticipated cost-savings, which will be reinvested in needed social, recovery support and prevention services. The BeWellPBC Initiative through PHF seeks to leverage existing resources and efforts to improve Palm Beach County’s behavioral health system of care while also providing platforms for growing support and partnership for community-wide health and wellness. An aim of the initiative is for BeWellPBC to provide logistical support to the Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder Steering Committee and assist it with oversight of the updated, coordinated community response plan. This will be implemented through action of the full committee and subcommittees to provide the structure and strategy to streamline continuity, communication, and collaboration across a continuum of support from substance use disorder and mental health services to social, non-clinical health care. Through the work of the committees with support of BeWellPBC, the behavioral health provider community and others will be educated about person-centered, recovery-oriented systems of care, in an effort to build recovery capital as well as foster an environment that maximizes a resident’s opportunities to improve their overall health and wellness and achieve long-term recovery for those with behavioral health and/or substance use disorders. Amendment No 1, with PBCSAC is necessary in order to revise the program amount to $550,000 per fiscal year for two years and revise the scope of work to update the project description and deliverables. PBCSAC will be the facilitating organization to develop an additional Recovery Community Center in Lake Worth, Florida. This project intends to serve 600 unduplicated individuals, families, and others directly impacted by opioid and substance use disorder in FY 2022. The finalization of the contracts were delayed due to an extended review of the agency’s scope of work and budget. Ms. Linda Kane, an employee of SEFBHN, is a member of the Homeless Advisory Committee (HAB). The HAB provides no regulation, oversight, management, or policy-setting recommendations regarding the agency listed above. Disclosure of this contractual relationship at a duly noticed public meeting is being provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 2-443, of the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics.

B) a budget transfer of $109,422 in the Airport’s Improvement and Development Fund to provide budget for the project, including a transfer from Reserves in the amount of $109,422.

SUMMARY: Amendment No. 4 (Work Order MC 15) in the amount $8,145,981 and 907 calendar days was approved by the Board on September 15, 2020 (R2020-1336) for the Escalator Replacement at PBI.

Approval of Change Order No. 3 is required to address the existing conditions at Escalators A and D prior to installing the new handrails. Following the demolition of the escalators, MGI discovered that there is a steel angle supporting the existing coquina panels that protrudes from the face of the wall, interfering with the clear space required for the escalator handrail. In addition, there is a void between the handrail and wall that will need to be infilled with framing and cement board. This change order also includes the removal of damaged wallpaper adjacent to Escalator N and refinishing of the wall. Due to the age and poor condition of the wallpaper, it cannot be repaired or matched. MGI has committed to a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 12% for this contract.

3. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) a Quit Claim Deed from the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) of Palm Beach County for the east 15-foot portion of 95^th Avenue South that is in the process of being abandoned by Palm Beach County; and

B) an Access Easement in favor of Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County over the 30-foot right-of-way strip of 95^th Avenue South which is in the process of being abandoned by Palm Beach County.

SUMMARY: The new Mosquito Control facility is being developed on a portion of the undeveloped 7.4 acres of County-owned land (Mosquito Control Property) located approximately 2,000 feet east of State Road 7, on the north side of Lantana Road within unincorporated Palm Beach County. As part of the development process, the 30-foot right-of-way (Abandonment Area) strip known as 95^th Avenue South, lying east of and adjacent to the Mosquito Control Property, is being abandoned by Palm Beach County. The Abandonment Area lies between the Mosquito Control Property and land owned by SWA. Post abandonment, the Quit Claim Deed (QCD) will convey SWA’s interest in the eastern 15-feet of the Abandonment Area to the County and in exchange the County will grant SWA an Access Easement over the Abandonment Area strip to allow access to the SWA parcel located north of the Mosquito Control Property and a portion of the County’s undeveloped park property. The Access Easement allows for the realignment of the easement area at a later date once the new access road is constructed to serve both the SWA and County parcels. Palm Beach County’s Land Development Division requires that both the County and SWA approve the QCD and Access Easement prior to Land Development processing the abandonment. SWA staff will seek the QCD and Access Easement approvals by SWA’s Governing Board at their April 13, 2022 meeting. The QCD and Access Easement will be recorded in the Palm Beach County Public Records after the abandonment of 95^th Avenue South has been approved and the abandonment resolution has been recorded.

4. Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 06 to Amendment No. 1 (R2020-1812) to the construction management contract with Kaufman Lynn Construction, Inc. (R2019-0849) for the Canyon District Park project – Phase 1A increasing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in the amount of $253,352.77 for Construction Management Services and increasing contract time by 14 calendar days. SUMMARY: On June 18, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the contract with Kaufman Lynn Construction, Inc. for construction management services for the Canyon District Park project located at 8802 Boynton Beach Boulevard, Boynton Beach. On December 8, 2020, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 (R2020-1812) for the construction of three soccer/multipurpose fields, a restroom/concessions facility, two retention/recreational lakes, a 12 station fitness trail, and associated parking. Additionally, Amendment No. 1 included clearing, grubbing, leveling and seeding the remainder of the property in order to complete and ensure the effectiveness of the drainage for Phase 1 and the entire property. Change Order No. 06 to Amendment No. 1 authorizes the procurement, hauling, spreading and compacting of approximately 5,500 tons of unwashed sand for three multipurpose fields. Due to heavy and continuous rains, small lime rock shell fragments migrated up from the lower six inches of the root zone to the surface layer of the soccer fields. Consequently, the condition of the soil proved unsatisfactory for the certification and long-term maintenance of the soccer fields. This authorization allows for the procurement and spreading of four inches of unwashed sand to prepare the fields to receive the last two inches of the top soil cap and final turf. The solicitation for the Construction Manager (CM) was advertised on January 28, 2018 according to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance in place at the time, but this GMP, having been initiated after January 1, 2019, was subject to the requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance. The CM is not a certified Small/Minority/ Women Owned Business (S/M/WBE), but has partnered with M.C.O. Construction and Services, Inc., an S/MBE contractor. On November 4, 2020, prior to subcontractor advertisement and bidding, the Goal Setting Committee applied an Affirmative Procurement Initiative to the construction subcontracts of 20% SBE participation, of which 5% must be a Minority Business Enterprise, African American or Hispanic. There is no SBE participation for Change Order No. 06. To date, the CM has achieved 22.63% SBE subcontracting participation overall. The CM is a Palm Beach County Business. The funding sources for this project include the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant fund and the Park Impact Fees Z-3 fund. (Capital Improvements Division) District 5 (MWJ)

5. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) Amendment No. 1 to the contract with D. Stephenson Construction, Inc. (R2020-1576) establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price for construction management services for the Homeless Resource Center 2 (HRC2) project located at 3680 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth in the amount of $14,064,641 for a period of 420 calendar days from notice to proceed; and

B) Irrevocable Letter of Direction submitted by D. Stephenson Construction, Inc. dated February 17, 2022 and requested by its surety directing the establishment of an escrow account for the project.

SUMMARY: On October 20, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the contract with D. Stephenson Construction, Inc. (DSC) for the HRC2 project and Task Order No. 1 (R2020-1577) for preconstruction services in the amount of $57,800. The project provides for the construction of a new facility to include 60 new emergency shelter (interim housing) beds, 14 transitional beds, a welcome center, office areas, outdoor facilities, specialized storage, a Palm Beach Sheriff’s Substation, a healthcare facility and support facilities (kitchen, laundry, pantry, community room, shower/rest rooms, cleansing room). Pre-construction services include validating constructability, cost estimating, and procurement services. Amendment No. 1 authorizes the construction of the HRC2 facility including all site work, landscaping, associated culvert canal crossing work, a new entrance on Lake Worth Road, the closure and restoration of the existing entrance on Gulfstream Road and the reconfiguration of the area affected by the construction of the entrance on Lake Worth Road. The Contractor will have 420 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 $178 per day. The surety bonding the project, Atlantic Specialty Insurance Group (a subsidiary of Intact Insurance Group USA, LLC) has requested that DSC issue an Irrevocable Letter of Direction to the County for the establishment of a project dedicated escrow account. The Irrevocable Letter of Direction is a funds management tool not commonly used by the County in its construction projects. After receiving the Irrevocable Letter of Direction, Staff conducted additional due diligence to fully understand the operational and financial implications of recommending approval; no detrimental impacts were identified. Therefore, Staff is recommending approval of the Irrevocable Letter of Direction. The CM was selected through a competitive solicitation in accordance with the federal requirements provided by the Department of Housing and Economic Development. Under the federal requirements, this project has a 22.4% minority and 6.9% female Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) participation goal. The EEO minority participation for Amendment No. 1 is 22.4% including 6.9% female participation. D. Stephenson Construction, Inc. is a Palm Beach County business. The funding sources for this project include the Infrastructure Sales Tax fund and Community Development Block Grant. (Capital Improvements Division) District 3 (MWJ)

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Subordination of County Utility Interests to the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The Subordination of Utility Easements includes two portions of the following easement recorded in the Official Records of Palm Beach County: ORB 20051 Page 174. SUMMARY: The FDOT has an interest in two portions of the utility easement recorded in the Official Records of Palm Beach County as noted above that have been determined necessary for highway purposes. The utility easement is located south of Atlantic Avenue and east of SR 7. The proposed use of these lands for highway purposes will require subordination of the interest claimed in such lands by the County to FDOT. The facility located within the utility easement and covered by the Subordination is a 6-inch force main stub out. FDOT has committed to pay to have the County’s facilities relocated in the future if necessary. The Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department has determined that the subordination of utility interests will not affect any existing and/or current public utility facilities and therefore recommends the subordination.

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) renewal of the excess property, excess liability, excess workers’ compensation insurance programs, and ancillary policies for the period April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023 purchased under Contract No. 21-040DP through the County’s contracted broker, Risk Management Associates, Inc. (aka Brown & Brown), at a total cost not-to-exceed $12,170,410; and

B) the update of the County Self-Insured Retention Plan to reflect changes associated with the self-insured retentions (SIR) for both excess property and workers’ compensation.

SUMMARY: The projected 2022-2023 excess insurance program renewal premiums reflect a total not-to-exceed cost of $12,170,410 which is approximately a 2% overall decrease over the expiring total premium of $12,409,703. Within that number are significant savings (5% in our property premium) as well as significant coverage enhancements throughout our entire excess insurance program. Enhancements include dropping the non-wind property SIR from $1,000,000 to $500,000 and better defining sublimits within our policies resulting in approximately $500,000,000 in additional coverage protections for miscellaneous coverages. Through aggressive marketing, the Broker was also able to limit increases in problem placement areas including technology (cyber), and boiler and machinery. The County’s total insurable property value currently stands at just over $2.6 billion. The program also includes $5 million of excess liability insurance, subject to a $500,000 SIR. Excess workers’ compensation insurance is included covering all costs in excess of $2.25 million per occurrence. All state-mandated surcharges and assessments are included within the estimated cost. Sufficient funds are budgeted for this coverage. Countywide (HH)

A. PALM TRAN

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving the submission of a grant application of $560,000 with a required match of $140,000 for a total project cost of $700,000 in Section 5311 capital funds from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT); and

B) authorize the Mayor of the Board of County Commissioners to execute the grant application, supporting documents, and assurances.

SUMMARY: On February 7, 2022, FDOT notified Palm Tran that the allocation of Section 5311 grant funds will not be provided for transit operating assistance. For the fiscal years 2022 and 2023 FDOT will allocate 5311 funds for capital projects only. If awarded, the grant funds will be used to replace paratransit vehicles that have met their useful life providing service in the Lake Region. The application is for $560,000 in grant funds, which require a local match of $140,000 (20% of project) for a total project cost of $700,000. The grant match is included in Palm Tran’s approved FY 2022 budget. The grant application 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.

A) Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida approving Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 mid-year budget amendments and transfers; and

B) budget amendments and transfers in various funds reflecting adjustments for balances brought forward, other revenues, reserves and operating expenses. The total of the adjustments is an increase of $90,859,709 in 178 funds.

SUMMARY: These budget amendments and transfers are necessary to adjust FY 2022 budgets to reflect differences between actual and estimated revenues and expenditures of FY 2021. These amendments adjust the balances brought forward, various revenue, expenditure, and reserve accounts to their audited balances. For the General Fund, this amendment results in an increased fund balance of $39,173,833. This adjustment is a result of:

· $2,276,059 net decrease in revenues, excess fees and commission refunds from Constitutional Officers and Judicial: Sheriff’s Office ($6,185,964), Clerk and Comptroller $3,195,731, Supervisor of Elections $70,082, Tax Collector ($1,463,689), Property Appraiser $238,374, Judicial $1,869,408; and

· $20,420,500 BCC department expenditures less than originally estimated and revenues higher than originally estimated; and

· $2,766,279 in general government expenses less than originally estimated and general government revenues higher than originally estimated; and

· $18,263,112 in major and other revenues higher than estimated.

These proposed adjustments result in an increase of $37,710,352 in General Fund reserves. FY 2022 budget projections currently assume the additional fund balance will be used to balance the annual budget. Countywide (DB)

1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida; amending Palm Beach County Code Chapter 17 (Ordinance 2011-015) pertaining to Mortgage Foreclosure Registration, Section 17-385, Providing for Repeal of Laws in Conflict; Providing for a Savings Clause; Providing for Severability; Providing for Inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; Providing for Enforcement; Providing for Penalty; Providing for Captions; and Providing for an Effective Date. SUMMARY: On March 8, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved the preliminary reading and permission to advertise for Public Hearing. The Palm Beach County (County) Mortgage Foreclosure Registration Ordinance (Ordinance) requires banks and mortgage companies to register properties in default or foreclosure with the County or its designee, to make inspections of the properties, and to identify a property manager or maintenance company as a point of local contact for each property. The County Ordinance and fee were established in 2011 in response to the impacts the mortgage foreclosure crisis of 2008 had on properties and neighborhoods due to resulting property vacancies, decreases in property maintenance, and other negative impacts that stem from a financial crisis. The County was challenged to identify and/or locate responsible parties to notify if a property was in disrepair or to secure and maintain the properties while going through the foreclosure process and this Ordinance addressed these issues. Currently, and since implemented, the County has used a vendor to register the applicable properties and to maintain a property status and contact database that is accessible by the County Code Enforcement Division. Per the Ordinance, the bank or mortgage holder pays the fee to register and annually renew, if applicable, each property. The volume of properties registering has significantly decreased and the utility of the program is therefore under review. This amendment revises the annual registration fee imposed to clearly reflect that the fee that is collected by the County or its designee is to cover the cost of the registration program.

SUMMARY: On March 8, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved the preliminary reading and permission to advertise. The Palm Beach County Environmental Control Act, Chapter 77-716, Laws of Florida, as amended, establishes the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners as the Palm Beach County Environmental Control Board and authorizes the Environmental Control Board to adopt, revise, and amend from time-to-time appropriate ordinances for the implementation, effective enforcement, administration and interpretation of the Act. Palm Beach County Environmental Control Ordinance No. 78-5, as amended and codified in Chapter 11, Article II of the Palm Beach County Code was adopted for this purpose. The proposed ordinance will amend the list of activities required to be permitted, licensed or approved as necessary due to change in the laws and regulations of the State of Florida, and update the fee schedule as necessary to keep pace with rising costs and current regulatory requirements. Major changes involve (a) adding fees in the newly established water laboratory for microbiological and chemical sampling, testing, and analysis, (b) increasing selected existing fees to offset increases in operating costs, (c) the addition of new fee categories. Attachment 2 provides a narrative and fiscal analysis of the proposed fee changes. If the ordinance is approved, the proposed fee schedule will result in a revenue increase of $974,840. The League of Cities reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment and adopted a motion of “no objection”. Countywide (HH)

E. PARKS & RECREATION

1. 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 memory leads from Lake Worth Road to the Boundless Playground, a four-acre accessible playground that held 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)

F. ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a resolution amending the application fee schedule for reviewing a Traffic Impact Study for compliance with Article 12 of the Unified Land Development Code and a Land Use Traffic Study for compliance with Policy 3.5(d) of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.

Since the Board of County Commissioners approved the original application fees on April 15, 2008, the fees have not changed, whereas staff costs have increased. Adopting this resolution will amend the application fees to account for current staff review costs, as well as establish a method to adjust the fees to automatically increase to match the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on October 1^st of each year. Fees will increase 10% every year until after the 5^th year, when fees will increase based on the CPI. On October 21, 2021, the Engineering Department sent notice of the proposed fee changes to the Palm Beach Chapter of the Florida Engineering Society (FES) and The Gold Coast Builders Association (GCBA).
