wherein the Town transferred certain traffic control functions and duties to
the County over the traffic signal at Juno Isles Boulevard and State Road 5.
The Town now agrees to repeal and replace
interlocal agreement R1973-194 with the Agreement to transfer Authority over
all County maintained thoroughfare roadways within the Town’s municipal

4. Staff recommends motion to approve: a full and final settlement and release of claimant, Richard Citron’s personal injury claim, stemming from a rear-end collision by a Palm Tran bus, for the sum of $80,000. SUMMARY: On September 11, 2021, at approximately 6:50 p.m., a Palm Tran bus driven by operator, Ronald Cooper, rear-ended claimant’s 2009 Honda Accord, which subsequently spun and collided with another vehicle. The accident occurred at the intersection of Okeechobee Boulevard and Meridian Road and claimant was transported by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue to St. Mary’s Hospital. At the hospital, claimant complained of back, neck, and wrist pain and underwent hand-surgery to repair muscle tendons and a complex open wound to his left wrist. Claimant was subsequently treated for back, neck, and shoulder injuries; and his orthopedic physician recommended back, neck, and right shoulder surgery, including a lumbar fusion. After much negotiation, Risk Management and their adjusters have arrived at a settlement, which is very reasonable and serves the best interest of Palm Beach County. Countywide (DO)

January 2005, the Lake Worth West Resident Planning Group, Inc. (Group) has
leased a County owned 1,100 SF building located at 4730 Maine Street in Lake
Worth which is adjacent to the Lake Worth West Neighborhood Park, for operation

On January 13, 2015, the Board approved the first amendment (R2015-0060)
expanding the premises to include a 1,584 SF modular building. In February
2021, the main building was deemed not habitable due to structural issues and
is scheduled to be demolished. The lease
agreement includes a provision that the County has the option to terminate the
lease if the premises are rendered untenable due to destruction or damage by
casualty. However, rather than terminate
as to the entire premises, the County is willing, and the Group has agreed, to
continue leasing the modular building. This second amendment: (i) redefines the
premises to exclude the 1,100 SF main building and add the parking area; (ii)

Beach County (PBC) Convention Center - Roof Repair Rebid project in the amount
of $213,890 for a period of 60 calendar days from permit issuance. SUMMARY: On
November 17, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the
annual roofing contract with the Contractor for roof repairs, and replacement
services. Staff conducted an analysis that evaluated the components and current
condition of the existing built-up roof system at the convention center. The
evaluation revealed that the existing roofing system still has useful life but
there are areas that have deteriorated, cracked, and lost adhesion that must be
repaired to maintain weather tightness and operations. Work Order No. 22-009
authorizes roof repair services to the existing built-up roof system, including
flashings, pitch pans/chem curbs, penetrations, roof curbs, roof drains, vent
pipes, aluminum stucco stops, transition flashing, expansion joints and
copings. 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 will have 60 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 $80 per day. On July 15,
2020, the Goal Setting Committee applied the following Affirmative Procurement
Initiatives 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 projects $100,000 or more. Since
this project is over $100,000, the applicable API is 10% SBE price preference.
The Contractor is not an SBE and there is no SBE participation on this work
order. The cumulative SBE participation on the annual roofing contract is
43.46%. The Contractor is a local business. Funding for this project is from
the Tourist Development Council (TDC) - Building Renewal & Replacement Fund.

the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Amendment No. 23
(R2020-1028) to the contract with Robling Architecture Construction, Inc.
(Construction Manager), which established a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in
the amount of $320,550. Amendment No. 23 (R2020-1028) consisted of renovations
to the existing generator building to create additional storage for the bunker
gear and the installation of a new outdoor emergency generator on the north
side of the existing generator building, along with an enclosure. The Fire
Rescue Department requested additional improvements to the project as a result
of its ongoing health and safety program, which includes creating separate
storage areas for the bunker gear to minimize exposure to contaminants. Change
Order No. 1 (2021-16080) authorized the relocation of the existing 8’ x 8’
storage shed, installation of a new 20’ x 10’ storage shed, landscaping

existing 3’’ water leader, removal of the existing 2’’ gas line in the bunker
gear room, repairs to the existing wall finishes and the cost of building
permit fees in the amount of $12,726.48. Change Order No. 3 to Amendment No. 23
in the amount of $8,900 authorizes the labor and material required to relocate,
pressure wash, paint the existing storage shed, and install a new ductless mini
split air conditioner unit in the new shed, with an increase to the project
duration by 95 days. The additional work improves the condition of the existing
shed and creates a climate-controlled environment that aids in preserving the
quality of the bunker gear equipment by eliminating the potential for extreme
shifts in the temperature. The Construction Manager is not an SBE but is a Palm
Beach County business. 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 November 19, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved
the annual electrical contract with the Contractor to provide electrical
services associated with repairs, improvements and renovations to County
properties. Work Order No. 22-006 authorizes the installation of a new
generator and automatic transfer switch at the PBSO District 4 facility. This
facility is a critical facility that operates 24/7 and the emergency generator
is required in order to maintain operations during electrical outages. 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 will have 240 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 $193 per day. On June 5, 2019, the Goal
Setting Committee applied the following Affirmative Procurement Initiatives 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 projects $100,000 or more. Since this project is over
$100,000, the applicable API is 10% SBE price preference. The Contractor is an
SBE and committed to 100% SBE participation on this work order. The cumulative
SBE participation on the annual electrical contract is 76.55%. The Contractor
is a local business. Funding for this project is from the Planned Unit Development

neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other law
enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or complex

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 $129,498. 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

SUMMARY: The Borrower has applied for the issuance of an industrial development
revenue bond by the County in an amount not to exceed $6,000,000. Bond proceeds will be used to refinance the
County's Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (South Florida Fair Project),
Series 2010. The 2010 Bonds were issued
to refinance earlier bonds issued by the County in 2000 to finance capital
assets for the Borrower's facilities at The South Florida Fairgrounds on
Sansbury's Way in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The Bond will be payable
solely from revenues derived from the Borrower.
Neither the taxing power nor the
faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay
the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bond. District 6

motion to approve on first reading and advertise for adoption hearing on
September 13, 2022: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) of Palm Beach County, Florida, making certain findings and designating
the real property located at 5976 Okeechobee Boulevard, within unincorporated
Florida 33417, further identified by Property Control Numbers 00-42-43-26-00-000-1300,
00-42-43-26-00-000-1340, and 00-42-43-26-05-004-0000 (the “Subject Property”),
as a Brownfield Area pursuant to Section 376.80(2)(c), Florida Statutes, to be
known as The Town of Palm Beach - Okeechobee Blvd. Former Landfill and Shooting
Range Green Reuse Area, for the purpose of rehabilitation, job creation and
promoting economic development; providing for an effective date; and, for other
purposes. SUMMARY: On July 12, 2022, the BCC approved two
motions to allow for a Brownfield Area designation of the Subject Property: 1)
a waiver of the statutory requirement that one of two public hearings be held
after 5:00 p.m.; and 2) the advertising
of public hearings on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at 9:30 a.m., and Tuesday,
September 13, 2022 at 9:30 a.m. On June 2, 2022, CRE Fund at Okeechobee
Boulevard LLC (CRE Fund), as contract lessor with the Town of Palm Beach,
submitted a revised application to the Department of Housing and Economic
Development to designate the Subject Property as a Brownfield Area. The Subject
Property was formerly operated as a permitted yard trash disposal facility and
shooting range, and is impacted by metal and organic contaminants in soil and
groundwater. CRE Fund plans to develop
the Subject Property as a mixed-use development. The rezoning of the 27.66 acre site was
approved at the May 26, 2022 BCC Zoning Hearing (Resolution R2022-0537),
concurrent with a future land use amendment (Ordinance 2022-013), to allow for
the development of 708 multifamily dwelling units, which includes 177 on-site
Workforce Housing rental units, and 21,839 square feet of commercial uses. The approved Preliminary Site Plan indicates
two seven-story and three three-story residential buildings; six one-story
buildings comprised of two Retail buildings, a Type 1 Restaurant, two club
houses, and a guardhouse; 1,355 parking spaces; and, two recreational
areas. Prior to redevelopment, CRE Fund
is seeking a “Brownfield Area” designation under Florida’s Brownfields
Redevelopment Act. No County funds for implementation are
required.

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: an Ordinance of
the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing
Chapter 18, Article V, Section 18-121, et seq., Palm Beach County Code,
Ordinance No. 2017-046, “Prohibition of Conversion Therapy on Minors
Ordinance”; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for inclusion
in the code of laws and ordinances; and providing for effective date. SUMMARY: On
December 21, 2017, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
enacted Chapter 18, Article V, Section 18-121, et seq., Palm Beach County Code,
Ordinance No. 2017-046, referred to as the “Prohibition of
Conversion Therapy on Minors Ordinance” (Ordinance). On June 13, 2018, two
therapists filed a single suit against the City of Boca Raton, (the City), and
Palm Beach County, (the County), in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida in Otto v.
City of Boca Raton, Florida, Case No. 9:18-CV-80771-RLR, challenging the
City’s and County’s substantially similar conversion therapy ban ordinances.
The District Court conducted a hearing on the therapists’ claim for a temporary
injunction that sought to prohibit the City and the County from enforcing their
ordinances, and the District Court denied injunctive relief. The therapists
appealed that interlocutory order to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit (Eleventh Circuit). The Eleventh Circuit determined
that the ordinances violated the First Amendment in Otto v. City of Boca Raton, Florida, 931 F.3d 854 (11th Cir. 2020),
reh’g en banc den., 2022 WL 2824907
(Jul. 20, 2022). The Eleventh Circuit
issued mandate on July 29, 2022, finalizing its decision. In light of the Eleventh Circuit’s ruling,
the County Attorney recommends repeal of the County’s Ordinance utilizing the
regular enactment procedure provided for in section 125.66(2)(a), Florida
Statutes (2021), which requires publication and consideration of the ordinance
at a single public hearing. Countywide (HH)

ordinance revisions was approved by the BCC on July 12, 2022. At the request of
the towing industry and administrative need to update the Tow Truck Ordinance, staff
convened multiple meetings of industry members from both the towing and
immobilization industry. Staff and
industry members identified several ways to improve the ordinance while
continuing to provide consumer protections. Updates include modifications to
ordinance language to conform to Florida Statute with respect to signage
placement and lien requirements; establishing timelines on certain
disqualifying criminal offenses for tow truck drivers; creating a licensing and
program for immobilization services that addresses the following: maximum rates, signage
requirements, required methods of payment, warning notices on vehicles,
insurance requirements, identification requirements, release/response time
requirements, awareness to consumers on complaint filing, and violations for
non-compliance; allowing credit card convenience fees; e-mail authorizations
for private property impounds; creating an annual rate adjustment using the
Consumer Price Index; updating the ordinance name to Towing and Immobilization
Services; and improving general readability. The proposed revisions were
presented to the Consumer Affairs Hearing Board on June 15, 2022 and League of
Cities on June 22, 2022 with no objection.
Administration and enforcement of this ordinance is funded entirely
through license fees. Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) of Palm Beach County, Florida
establishing a new schedule of maximum rates for non-consent towing and
immobilization services, fees and fines; establishing minimum insurance limits;
and repealing and replacing Resolution No. R2014-1622, relating to the Towing
and Immobilization Services Ordinance of Palm Beach County, Florida, as
codified in the Palm Beach County Code of Ordinances. SUMMARY: The Towing and
Immobilization Services Ordinance provides that the BCC shall establish by
resolution certain licensing fees, fines, and maximum rates. This proposed resolution adjusts the 2015
maximum towing and storage rates using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all
Urban Consumers as published by the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics each
calendar year and establishes an immobilization rate. A multi-year adjustment
was made to account for the past seven years where no adjustment was made for
private property impound tows, storage, and after-hours gate fee. The police
directed tow rate received a one-year adjustment to account for increasing
operational costs. Annual rate adjustment language for non-consent towing,
storage, and immobilization services using the CPI was incorporated into the
Towing and Immobilization Services Ordinance with a requirement to be reviewed
by the Board every five years. This new language in the ordinance is being
recommended for approval by the BCC on August 23, 2022. There are no changes
recommended for licensing fees or fines relating to towing services, however
new fines and licensing fees are proposed for companies providing

motion to approve: the Purchasing
Department’s issuance of an award letter for the 12-month extension of the term
contract for Janitorial Services at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)
(Term Contract) with Triangle Services of Florida, Inc. d/b/a Triangle Services
(Triangle) for the period commencing October 1, 2022, and ending on September
30, 2023, per Master Agreement #17032D, and an increase to the Term Contract of
$3,600,000. SUMMARY: The Term Contract ends on
September 30, 2022, with no further renewal options. The County has expended or
encumbered $3,565,114 during the previous 10.5 months of the current 12-month
term contract. This item provides approval for the Purchasing Department to
issue an award letter extending the Term Contract by 12 additional months to
provide sufficient time for the Purchasing Department to issue a new
competitive solicitation and award a new term contract without a gap in
service. This extension is necessary due to staffing shortages and the COVID-19
pandemic, which resulted in workload reprioritizations. The Term Contract
provides for the payment of a monthly management fee of $12,816.66. Expenses,
including employee salaries and benefits, are paid on a reimbursement basis in
accordance with an annual budget approved by the Department of Airports. The
total cost for the 12-month extension is projected to be $3,600,000. The Term
Contract amount for the: (i) initial 12-month term was $2,685,989, with
$2,423,499.45 expended; (ii) first 12-month renewal term was $2,685,989, which
was increased to $2,954,587, with $2,826,621.89 expended; (iii) second 12-month
renewal term was $2,685,989, which was increased to $2,954,587.90 with
$2,677,740 expended; (iv) third 12-month renewal term was $2,685,989, which was
increased to $3,185,989 with $2,826,628 expended; and (v) fourth 12-month
renewal term was $3,600,000. Triangle is located outside Palm Beach County in
the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Term Contract was advertised pursuant
to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance in place at the time with an
SBE goal of 15%. Triangle committed to 18% SBE participation. The cumulative
SBE participation to date is 17.06%. In the event the full 12-month extension
is not required for the award of a new term contract, the County may terminate
the Term Contract for convenience. Pursuant
to changes to Chapter 332, Florida Statutes, effective October 1, 2020, a
governing body of a commercial service airport may not approve purchases of
contractual services in excess of the Category Five threshold amount of

direction: to move
forward with a building recertification program that adopts State standards for
particular building types within unincorporated Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: Following the devastating event that took place on June 24, 2021 at
Champlain Towers located in Surfside, Florida, the County Administrator
directed staff to research current practices and identify potential
recommendations and reach out to the League of Cities to establish a
collaborative working group. Building
Division staff participated in and facilitated meetings with the League of
Cities group and other stakeholder groups. Staff then requested direction from
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) regarding developing and implementing a
program to evaluate the safety of certain building types in Palm Beach County.
At the July 13 and August 17, 2021 BCC Meeting(s), the Board directed staff to
continue identifying the potential candidate structures, work with specific
industry representatives, assess other safety evaluation programs in effect in
other areas around the country, and to continue to work with the League of
Cities Building Officials to explore/develop a model standard. On October 19,
2021, the BCC directed Staff to wait and see if the State Legislature would
bring forward a statewide initiative on this topic. The Legislature did not act
during its regular session to implement a statewide building recertification
program. However, upon being recalled by
Governor DeSantis for a Special Session to address this issue, the Legislature
passed Senate Bill 4D (SB 4D). SB 4D requires all condominium and co-op
buildings 3 stories or more to have a “milestone” inspection” at 30 years, and
at 25 years if within 3 miles of the coastline, with updates every 10 years
thereafter. These inspections will determine if a more thorough inspection is
necessary and it is up to the local government to establish timing of the
repairs. Under the bill, the list of applicable buildings is to be provided by
the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. According to rough data pulled by the
Planning Division, there appear to be approximately 550 buildings in unincorporated
Palm Beach County that are immediately required to have a milestone inspection
due to their age, location and stories. A recent meeting with the League of
Cities subcommittee resulted in a recommendation to move forward with the
State’s program with no additional requirements. The program is in line with
the draft model ordinance the group has been working on. Staff intends to
present the mechanics of the State program and seek direction on proceeding
with a local ordinance to adopt the program with or without additions for

recommends motion to adopt: a resolution
recognizing that the Facilities Development and Operations Department (FDO) is
responsible for the management of parking lots and parking garages in and
around certain County facilities. SUMMARY:
The Palm Beach County Parking Ordinance authorizes the County
Engineer to determine and designate traffic restrictions and parking
regulations, including the establishment of parking meter locations, within the
boundaries of the County. However, FDO
has long been responsible for the parking lots and parking garages, including
parking meters, at certain County facilities operated and managed by FDO. FDO has also long been responsible for
collecting and accounting for the monies generated by the metered parking at
these facilities. FDO is requesting the
Board of County Commissioners (Board) recognize that FDO is responsible for
managing certain county parking garages and lots, and is responsible for
managing the assessments and collection of metered parking fees. The resolution authorizes FDO to manage and
maintain the parking garages and lots associated with County facilities
operated and managed by FDO, and to collect and account for the monies
generated by metered parking. The resolution also requires that FDO prepare a
policy and procedure memorandum regarding how the FDO Director is to review
metered parking fees from time to time and determine whether the parking fee
should be raised or lowered. Finally, the resolution requires that FDO seek
Board approval before installing metered parking at any County facility that
does not already have metered parking as of the date of this resolution. At
this time, the only locations managed by FDO where metered parking fees are
assessed are in downtown West Palm Beach at the Judicial Center Garage and
surface lot, the Governmental Center Garage and the 4th Street
surface lot, located adjacent to the Governmental Center. The Engineering and
Public Works Department will continue to maintain authority over any metered
parking within County-maintained road rights of way. The County Engineer has no
objection and supports this request. (FDO Admin) Countywide (MWJ)

construction, operation and maintenance of an urban educational campus which
will include approximately 5.03 acres of County-owned property (Properties)
located in the City of West Palm Beach. SUMMARY: On August 24, 2021, the mayors of Palm Beach County
(County) and the City of West Palm Beach (City) 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 County, City and a private third
party(s) within the area historically known as Government Hill in downtown West
Palm Beach to UF for the development, operation and maintenance of an urban
educational campus (Urban 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. On February 8, 2022,
the Board approved a conceptual term sheet and authorized staff to proceed with
negotiations towards finalizing an agreement. At the time of approval of the
conceptual term sheet, County staff reported to the Board that although mutual
agreements had been reached on most terms, there remained two material terms to
be further negotiated: 1) the extent of the reversionary rights to be retained
by the County, and 2) the definition of allowable private uses on the
Properties. County staff and UF representatives were able to reach agreements
on both material terms. However, County staff notes that the reversionary
rights captured in the DCA are limited in scope and will automatically expire
once UF commences vertical construction (defined as “Phase 1” in the DCA) on
the Properties. The extent of reversionary rights in the DCA is significantly limited compared to the
County’s standard practice when conveying public property at no cost.
Typically, the County has reversionary rights that extend beyond completion of
development/construction, and which seek to ensure that the real estate
holdings conveyed at no cost will return to the County’s ownership if the use
deviates from the one approved at the time of conveyance. UF has maintained that inclusion of standard
reversionary rights would impair its ability to develop the Urban Campus as it
intends to pursue the same through, among other mechanisms, a series of
Public-Private Partnerships (P3s). Combined with a series of negotiated use
restrictions, the DCA as drafted achieves Board direction and should serve to
ensure that the Properties are used in a manner consistent with the Board’s
intention in conveying the same.
However, this hybrid approach still lacks the automatic nature and
associated benefits that result from having standard reversionary rights. As it relates to the Private Uses on the
Properties, the same will be limited to those that exist in collaboration with,
or in support of, the Public Educational Use. The aggregated square footage of
the floor area of Private Uses on the Properties will be limited to no more
than 40% of the aggregate floor area of all buildings constructed on the
Properties and will not include travel and leisure hospitality facilities nor
outpatient/inpatient medical facilities. As per the Board approved conceptual
term sheet, Staff had included as a condition precedent for closing on the
Properties receipt by UF of the permits required to commence construction. UF
has maintained that it could not enter into the DCA with said condition
precedent, as it would result in UF having to front-fund the design of the
Urban Campus rather than to rely on the P3 agreement that it intends to pursue
for the development. To achieve Board direction, the DCA as drafted no longer
requires UF to obtain permits as a condition precedent to closing but rather,
to confirm that all permits and approvals required for Phase 1 are obtainable
in the ordinary course of business. The
County’s current holdings on Government Hill amount to approximately 5.03
acres. In September 2021, County 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. In February 2022, the City
approved a donation agreement (Contract Number 27893; Ordinance No. 4989-22) to
provide UF the right to develop the Urban Campus on the City’s holdings.

& OPERATIONS (Cont’d)
2. SUMMARY: (Cont’d) UF has represented that it continues to negotiate with the
owner(s) of the private holdings located on Government Hill and that if/when an
agreement is reached, the same will be kept confidential as per UF’s policies.
The approved State of Florida budget for
fiscal year 2023 includes an appropriation of $100 million for the “West Palm
Beach Global Center for Technology and Innovation” (i.e. the Urban Campus)
contingent upon: 1) UF receiving one or more donations of land in Palm Beach
County comprising of approximately 12 acres; and 2) UF obtaining, within 60
days of the effective date of the appropriation law, at least $100 million in
commitments for cash gifts to be used in support of the Urban Campus and with
commitments that such gifts be paid in full on or before July 1, 2027. The State budget was approved on June 2, 2022
and went into effect on July 1, 2022 therefore, the 60-day deadline falls on
September 1, 2022. If the Board approves
the DCA, UF would have secured approximately 7.2 of the total 12 acres required
under the appropriation bill. UF has indicated it has secured the $100 million
required under the appropriation bill thereby achieving the funding goal prior
to the deadline. The County’s contribution towards the Urban Campus will
consist of the land value (i.e. approximately $42 million) and staff time in
administering the DCA. The County
will release mineral and petroleum rights on the Properties and on the City’s
real estate holdings in accordance with Florida Statute, Section 270.11. These conveyances must be approved by a
Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). FDO Admin (District 7/Countywide)

G. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and permission to advertise for a
public hearing on September 13, 2022 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Sections
14-81 and 14-82 of the Palm Beach County
Code; providing for authority; providing for required written fair notice of
termination of residential tenancies with specific duration and certain
tenancies without specific term and written fair notice requirements for rental
payment increases for residential tenancies with specific duration and certain
tenancies without specific term; providing for enforcement; providing for
severability; providing for inclusion in the code; and providing for an
effective date. SUMMARY: At the request of the Board of County
Commissioners, this ordinance is being proposed for consideration and seeks to
amend Sections 14-81 and 14-82 of the Palm Beach County Code to require a
60-day written notification for either non-renewal of a residential lease,
termination of a residential lease, or an increase of the rental rate by more
than 5% for tenancies of a specific duration under Section 83.575(1), Florida
Statutes, or for tenancies without a specific term under Section 83.57(1)
through (3), Florida Statutes. This ordinance shall apply in unincorporated and
incorporated areas of Palm Beach County, subject to certain limitations.
Similar ordinances have passed in other counties in the state as well as several
municipalities in Palm Beach County. This ordinance provides that any
municipal ordinances in Palm Beach County either adopted before or after the
adoption of this ordinance would remain in effect. It also allows a
municipality to opt out of the provisions of this ordinance. The ordinance
provides for an enforcement mechanism in the unincorporated areas of the county
through Palm Beach County Code Enforcement and includes fines for such
violations. In incorporated Palm Beach County, any municipal code enforcement
officers or any law enforcement agency having jurisdiction of the area within
which the residential tenancy at issue is located would enforce this ordinance.
This ordinance is anticipated to have a beneficial impact for residents and
will help renters navigate the highly competitive rental market by providing
more time to adjust to higher rents or seek alternative housing, and will help
landlords in sooner identifying certain residential units that may become
available in order to identify new occupants. Countywide (MM)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
budget transfer of $2,144,495 from General Fund Contingency Reserves to the
Supervisor of Elections (SOE). SUMMARY:
Due to the unexpected death of Congressman Alcee Hastings, the SOE held four
unplanned and unbudgeted Special Elections. The impact to the operating budget
is $2,408,274.46. To date, the SOE has
received $263,780.37 in State reimbursement, and the State is committed to
reimbursement of the remaining $2,144,494.09; however, it is not likely to
occur in the current fiscal year. As a
result, the SOE is requesting this amount to be covered by the County to
continue normal operations. This amount
will be reimbursed once it is received from the State. Countywide (DB)
