SUMMARY: In accordance with the TCRPC Rules of
Order, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) appointed its members and
alternates for the coming year before the Council’s annual meeting on December
10, 2021. The TCRPC Rules of Order also require the BCC ratify the League’s
members. The League appointed the above municipal representative at their July,

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
Donation Agreement between the Supervisor of Elections (SOE), the School Board
of Palm Beach County (School District) and Palm Beach County providing for the
donation of 300 mobile storage cabinets to the School District. SUMMARY:
The SOE is currently in possession of 300 mobile storage cabinets that have
been classified as surplus because of the inefficiencies of their continued
use. The storage cabinets are not able to accommodate recently purchased
polling equipment because of the size and configuration of the new elections
equipment. The SOE has confirmed the School District would like to use the
mobile storage cabinets. A donation of these cabinets to the School District
will allow for continued use of otherwise good equipment. The surplus cabinets
were originally purchased with County funds. According to PPM CW-O-067, as the
cabinets have a fair market value of $40 each and the total overall dollar
value threshold exceeds $1000, the SOE must ask for the Board of County
Commissioner’s approval in order to donate the cabinets to the School District.

SUMMARY:
On June 8, 2020, Palm
Beach County received additional funding (ESG-CV2) to continue the response to
the COVID-19 pandemic. ESG Program funds will be used to prevent, prepare for
and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic among individuals and families who are
homeless or receiving homeless assistance, to support additional homeless
assistance, and homelessness prevention activities. These funds will assist
approximately 991 individuals and families who are homeless, or at risk of
homelessness due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction in funding for Legal
Aid is due to funding being made available through a different funding source
for services currently being provided. Legal Aid will be able to continue their
contracted activity with funding through the Emergency Rental Assistance
Program. This allowed the additional funding to be used by The Lord’s Place for
emergency shelter and homeless outreach services. Nancy McConnell, CEO of Rebel Recovery Florida, Inc., Kristina Rowe and
Kimberly Rommel Enright, employees of Legal Aid and Tyrina Pinkney, employee of
The Lord’s Place, are members of the Palm Beach County HIV Care Council. Linda
Kane, employee of SEFBHN is a member of the Homeless Advisory Board. These boards
provide no regulation, oversight, management, or policy-setting recommendations
regarding the agencies listed above. Disclosure of these contractual

REACH (the Program) is administered by Adopt-A-Family, Inc. (AAF) and serves
homeless families consisting of adults with minor dependent children who are
residents of Palm Beach County. The increase in funding is needed due to an
increase in operating costs to run the shelter, including staffing and
insurance. Funding is available in FY 2022 through the Community Development
Block Grant. Funding for FY 2023 is included in the Department’s Budget
Request. Program REACH is open and staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The
Program works in coordination with the Senator Philip Lewis Homeless Resource
Center to meet the goals of the County’s Plan to end homelessness. AAF has
served 103 families including 203 children. Of those served, 88% exited to
permanent housing and remained stably housed. Countywide (HH)

certified recovery residences regarding the Recovery Capital Index (RCI). SUMMARY:
The FARR Recovery Capital Initiative seeks to educate, train and engage
FARR certified recovery residences regarding the RCI. Palm Beach County has an
interest in appropriately measuring long-term recovery outcomes in the recovery
residence environment through the use of RCI. The aim of the project is to
build recovery capital capacity within FARR certified recovery residences in
Palm Beach County. The intent is to foster an environment that maximizes a
resident’s opportunity to achieve long-term recovery through education,
monitoring and measuring outcomes. FARR currently has 103 housing providers
certified statewide, representing 1,492 locations and 6,384 beds. Palm Beach
County accounts for 51 of the statewide recovery residence programs (49.5%),
representing 635 locations (42.5%) and 2,712 beds (42.5%). Housing stability is
a key predictor of achieving long-term recovery outcomes. As such, Palm Beach
County has a keen interest in ensuring that recovery residences certified in
the county are rigorously screened and monitored to provide safe and stable
housing environments. Thus, another aim of this initiative is to make sure that
FARR has sufficient capacity to also achieve housing stability for recovery

emergency work for the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) #11 HVAC Replacement
emergency project completed under the annual heating, ventilation and air

2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the annual HVAC
contract (R2020-0020) with the Contractor to provide HVAC services related to
system and component installations, upgrades, replacements, modifications and
repairs. The existing HVAC units at WTP #11 that service the WTP’s electrical
room, are 15 years old, have experienced multiple failures and have reached the
end of their useful life. WTP #11 services three local cities in the Glades
area and currently, there are no backup units for this plant. Although Staff
had been servicing, maintaining and repairing the units as needed, a series of
recent failures triggered the need to address this replacement under an
emergency authorization to ensure that WTP#11 could continue to operate. Work
Order No. 22-018 authorized the Contractor to procure and replace two 20-ton
split HVAC systems for the electrical room located at WTP #11. Due to the
critical nature of the services provided at this facility, any further delay
could prove detrimental to the interests, health, safety and welfare of the
citizens in the service area. This project was awarded as emergency purchase in
accordance with Palm Beach County Purchasing Code 2-54(f) and County PPM
CW-L-008. The Director of the Facilities Development and Operations Department
executed this emergency work order under her construction authority pursuant to
the Purchasing Code Section 2-53(f). In accordance with PPM CW-L-008, staff is
submitting this emergency work order to the Board for ratification as the cost
of work exceeds $200,000. Pursuant to section 2-80.22 of the Equal Business
Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance and the County PPM CW-O-043, this project is exempt
from EBO requirements. The contractor is a local business. The funding source
for this project is Water Utilities Department Operation and Maintenance Fund.

SUMMARY: Under the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge (SJC) project, the County, through
its Criminal Justice Commission (CJC), has received $3.4 million in grant
funding to: 1) reduce local jail populations without compromising public
safety; and 2) identify and reduce racial and ethnic disparities in local jail
populations and criminal justice systems. The need to increase access to
resources for participants at the First-Appearance hearings who are identified
as “high systems users” with behavioral health and substance abuse challenges
and who cycle through jail for low-level offenses is apparent based on previous
Sequential Intercept Mapping exercises and input from criminal justice
stakeholders. The Frequent Utilizer - “Next Steps” is a pilot project designed
to increase access to behavioral health support services such as, but not
limited to, case management, care coordination, peer support, supportive
housing, behavioral health treatment, vocational training, transportation,
emergency shelter and assistance applying for various public benefits. The goals are to reduce recidivism, improve
engagement in treatment, and increase connection to identified needs, thereby
assisting them in stabilizing their lives. This pilot will incorporate a
“Housing First” strategy whereby case management focuses on helping the client
identify, obtain and retain housing. Countywide

responsibilities include reviewing the application for compliance with the EMS
Ordinance application requirements, consideration of the need for the proposed
service in the requested area, and preparing a report with recommendations for
the EMS Advisory Council (Council).
Consideration of the need for the proposed services was primarily based
on the Town of Highland Beach terminating their Interlocal Service Agreement
with the City of Delray Beach for Fire and EMS Services effective midnight
April 30, 2024; and the citizens of the Town of Highland Beach approved a
referendum on November 2, 2021 to establish and fund the Highland Beach Fire and
Rescue Department. The Administrator’s report with the recommendations was
subsequently submitted to the Council for their review and recommendation. On July 21, 2022, the Council reviewed the

advance of annexation; authorizing the Mayor of the Board of County
Commissioners to sign the Interlocal Agreement; providing for severability;

B)
initiate a Comprehensive
Plan amendment to add by a reference in the
Intergovernmental Coordination Element to the Joint Planning Area identified in
the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement between the City of Greenacres and
the Board of County Commissioners.
SUMMARY: ln accordance with Palm Beach County policy to promote interlocal
agreements with municipalities to address service delivery issues, Palm Beach County and City of
Greenacres staff jointly prepared an lnterlocal Service Boundary Agreement
(ISBA) and Joint Planning Agreement (JPA). In November
2020 and December 2020, the City of Greenacres and Palm Beach County
respectively adopted resolutions to commence negotiations for an ISBA/JPA. The
subject unincorporated area is within the future annexation area of the City,
generally located on the southeast corner of
Lake Worth Road and S. Jog Road, as
depicted in Exhibit A of the ISBA/JPA. By
Ordinance No. 2022-01, adopted on August 15, 2022, the City accepted the terms of the proposed
ISBA/JPA, including an agreement with the County Fire Rescue to coordinate the
transition of fire rescue services. On August 23, 2022, the BCC held a
preliminary reading of this ordinance and authorized advertising for public
hearing. The proposed ISBA/JPA does not annex
any property, but rather provides a more flexible mechanism for annexation to
occur within the proposed area. Pursuant to Section 171.203(9), Florida
Statutes, requiring each party of the interlocal service boundary agreement to
amend the intergovernmental coordination element of the Comprehensive Plan no
later than six months following entry of the agreement, this item also
initiates an amendment to acknowledge the agreement by reference. District 3

motion to adopt: 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

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 Sections 83.575(1), or for
tenancies without a specific term under Sections 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

the performance of Airport General Consulting Services related to the approved
Palm Beach County Airports’ Capital Improvement Program; and
B) a budget transfer from Reserves in the
amount of $796,698 to budget the AVCON contract.
SUMMARY: In order to carry out the
approved Capital Improvement Program for the County, the Department of Airports
requires airport general consulting services. In accordance with Section
287.055, Florida Statutes, and PPM CW-O-048, AVCON was competitively selected
to provide these services. The initial agreement of a potential multi-year
contract in the amount of $796,697.19 will provide the Department of Airports
with the necessary continuing professional services to implement the following
services: Level 1 Tasks – 2023 Annual
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Compliance Monitoring, Inspection,
and Training Services; 2022 Annual Airport Facilities Inspections and Level 3
Tasks – Miscellaneous Architectural, Engineering, Planning and Construction
Consulting Services. Work to be
completed under these Task III Services will be issued per the level of
authority contained in PPM CW-F-050, by way of a separate proposal or task
authorization. AVCON is an Orlando, Florida based firm; however, the majority
of the work to be completed in this agreement will be completed and/or managed
through their Boca Raton, Florida offices in conjunction with several Palm
Beach County-based sub-consultants and firms.
On September 1, 2021, the Goal Setting Committee established an
Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (API) for this contract of a mandatory SBE
subcontracting goal of 20%. The initial tasks to be awarded under the agreement
contain SBE participation of 40.66%. AVCON is a State of Florida certified MBE
firm and has committed to 37.75% SBE participation for this agreement. 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
$325,000 provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, on a consent agenda.

entered into on September 14, 2021,
between the County and the Health Care District of Palm Beach County,
(the District), for the provision of administrative coordination of the special
assessment authorized by the Local Provider Participation Fund (LPPF)
Ordinance.
SUMMARY: On August 26, 2021, the Board of County
Commissioners adopted Ordinance 2021-024, establishing an LPPF Ordinance. The LPPF Ordinance required 13 hospitals
located in the Agency for Health Care Administration’s (AHCA) Region 9, which
is Palm Beach County, to pay a uniform, Non-Ad Valorem Special Assessment, set
annually by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners, on hospitals that
have an ownership or leasehold interest in real property in Palm Beach County.
Funds collected through the LPPF assessments are sent to the Florida AHCA,
through intergovernmental transfers, consistent with federal guidelines, as the
non-federal share of increased Medicaid managed care payments facilitated under
a new hospital directed payment program, (DPP) that was approved for the State
of Florida in 2021 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Through
the DPP, AHCA will make payments to Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs)
in order to fund increased payments by MCOs to the local hospitals to fund
services provided to Medicaid patients. This year, the assessment shall equal
0.20% of gross patient revenue for each Assessed Property specified in the
attached Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll.
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners establishing Non-Ad Valorem Special Assessments pursuant to the
LPPF Ordinance. Staff also recommends approval of the first amendment to the
Interlocal Agreement with the District, which exercises a one-year renewal
option so that the LPPF Assessments will continue to be coordinated and
administered by the District. Pursuant
to the Resolution, the County and the District are compensated in an amount
not-to-exceed $300,000, per the administration fee provision of the LPPF
Ordinance. No County funds are required.

Trust Fund and Capital Improvements Fund. SUMMARY:
The budget is comprised of four components; (a) the Redevelopment Trust Fund, in the amount of $3,706,219,
representing the CRA’s Annual Tax Increment Financing (TIF), rental income and
balance brought forward from previous years; and (b) the Capital Improvement Fund, in the amount of $13,000,000,
representing projected loan proceeds, balances of reimbursable grants awarded
to the CRA by County, State, and Federal governments for construction
activities; (c) the Transportation Planning Agency (TPA) Fund
representing construction funds expected to be reimbursed by the TPA and the

motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida authorizing the Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community
Redevelopment Agency’s (CRA) to issue a Revenue Note Series 2022 in a principal
amount not to exceed $11 Million to finance roadway improvement projects within
the CRA. SUMMARY: The CRA is seeking
an $11 million loan to fund the construction of transportation improvement
projects on Westgate Avenue, Seminole Boulevard and Cherry Road. The County
Ordinance No. 89-6 (the Ordinance) that created the CRA allows the Agency to
issue loans, but Section 163.358(3), Florida Statutes, stipulates that the
issuance of revenue bonds by the CRA needs to be authorized by the Board of
County Commissioners. However, the Community Redevelopment Act defines “bonds”
as any bonds (including refunding bonds), notes, interim certificates,
certificates of indebtedness, debentures, or other obligations. The CRA does
not currently have any debt. The CRA will repay the loan with a portion of the
Tax Increment Funds received annually in accordance with the Ordinance and the
Amended Community Redevelopment Plan adopted on October 3, 2017 by County
Resolution No. 2017-1522. The annual loan payment is estimated at $1.03
Million. Debt service fund will be included in the CRA annual budget. This loan is payable solely out of revenues pledged to
and received by a community redevelopment agency and deposited to its
redevelopment trust fund. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and

for new construction of affordable housing.
A selection committee met at a public meeting on July 7, 2022, and
recommended funding the Davis Commons, LLC in partnership with CLT of PBCTC who
was the sole applicant. Davis Commons, LLC will develop Davis Commons, a
20-unit affordable townhome community on a two-acre site in unincorporated Palm
Beach County near Lake Worth Beach. Palm Beach County donated one acre of the two-acre
parcel to the Community Land Trust.
Eleven units will be developed on the County donated land. All 20 units
will be SHIP assisted and will be affordable to homeowners with incomes no
greater than 120% of Area Median Income. All SHIP assisted units will remain
affordable in perpetuity in accordance with the Community Land Trust model. The
total cost of the project is $7,547,235. The funding agreements and related
documents pursuant to these SHIP funds will be between the County and the
Community Land Trust or their respective successors and/or assigns. To
facilitate project implementation, staff requests authorization for the County

SUMMARY: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve
the proposed SHIP budget allocations for Fiscal Year 2022-2023. Palm Beach
County receives an annual allocation from the State of Florida Housing Finance
Corporation through the SHIP Program to implement various affordable housing
programs and other related activities. On April 12, 2022, the BCC approved the
SHIP Local Housing Assistance Plan for fiscal years 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and
2024-2025 (R2022-0374). For Fiscal Year 2022-2023, Palm Beach County will
receive $10,302,276. At the July 13,
2022 public meeting of the Commission on Affordable Housing, staff’s proposed
budget recommendations received unanimous support. SHIP regulations require that a minimum of
65% of a local jurisdiction’s SHIP funding be allocated to homeownership
activities, and 20% of the fiscal year’s funding allocation be expended on special
needs households. Special needs households will be assisted through the
Purchase Assistance, Foreclosure Prevention, Owner Occupied Housing
Rehabilitation, Emergency Repair, Single Family New Construction, and the
Developer Rental Assistance Program strategies. In accordance with SHIP
regulations, the funds need to be encumbered within two years and expended
within three years of allocation. These

award. SUMMARY: For SHIP Fiscal Year 2021-2022, which began on July 1,
2021, Palm Beach County received an allocation of $7,333,993 from the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). The FHFC recently awarded the County an

Finance Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida, Multifamily Housing Revenue
Bonds (Calusa Pointe II) by the Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County,
Florida (the Authority) in the principal amount of $20,000,000 (the Bonds). SUMMARY:
The Bonds are being issued by the Authority to finance the costs of acquiring,
constructing and equipping a multifamily rental housing facility containing
approximately 144 units to be known as Calusa Pointe II (the Project). The
Project will be located southeast of the intersection of SR 80 and CR 837A in

Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the Code) these units will be rented to qualified persons and families whose
household incomes do not exceed 60% of area median income ($55,200 for a family
of four for 2022). The Borrower (as defined below) has agreed that the Project
will have a 50-year affordability period. The borrower is SP Field LLC, a
Florida limited liability company, or an affiliate thereof (the Borrower), and
the developer is Southport Development, Inc. The Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived from the Borrower and/or
other collateral provided by or on behalf of the Borrower. Greenberg Traurig, P.A.
is Bond Counsel to the Authority with respect to the Bonds, and RBC Capital
Markets, LLC will be the underwriter or placement agent for the Bonds. The resolution of the Authority authorizing
the issuance of the Bonds will include language substantially as follows:
The County assumes no responsibility for monitoring
compliance by the Borrower of applicable federal income tax, securities laws or
other regulatory requirements.
The Borrower understands and agrees that it is
responsible for, monitoring its compliance with all applicable federal income
tax, federal securities law and other regulatory requirements, retaining
adequate records of such compliance, and retaining qualified counsel to respond
to or assist the Authority and the County in responding to any audit, examination
or inquiry of the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange
Commission or other regulatory body.
The Borrower assumes
responsibility for monitoring compliance with applicable provisions of federal
tax laws and U.S. Treasury Regulations relative to the Bonds, and shall retain
adequate records of such compliance until at least three years after the Bonds
are retired.
In the event of any audit,
examination or investigation by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to
the tax-exempt status of the Bonds or any other related tax matters, the
Borrower shall be responsible for retaining qualified counsel to respond to
such audit. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County

B) acceptance of and reallocation of $2,400,000 of Waterfront Access Bond
funds reimbursed by the Town pursuant to the Lake Park Marina Interlocal
Agreement, to the Peanut Island Improvements project; and
C) a budget amendment of $2,400,000 within the Waterfront Access Bond to
establish budget in the Peanut Island Park Improvements project.
SUMMARY: On November 16, 2010, the County
and Town entered into an Interlocal Agreement, which provided the Town with
$2.4 million from the Waterfront Access Bond for the planned expansion of the
Lake Park Marina (Marina) to be accomplished in two phases over a term of five
years. First, the acquisition of 0.8 acres of land adjacent to the Marina for
the expansion of boat trailer parking and second, closing of Lakeshore Drive to
develop a pedestrian promenade. The Town closed on the acquisition in December
2010 using the County’s grant funding and completed the boat trailer parking
lot expansion. However, closing of
Lakeshore Drive to develop a pedestrian promenade was delayed pending adoption
of changes to the Town's Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulations designed to
encourage high intensity mixed-use redevelopment. All required Comprehensive
Plan amendments and zoning regulations were adopted as of May 2018. While it was the Town's intent to select a
developer through either a Request for Proposals (RFP) or Public Private
Partnership (PPP) procurement process, in January 2021, the Town received two
unsolicited proposals for the development of the Marina and adjacent area. The
Interlocal Agreement has been amended thrice (in 2014, 2019 and 2020) to
provide the Town sufficient time to complete the redevelopment process.
Pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement as amended, the Town had until October 20,
2021 to complete the RFP and/or PPP process and present to the Board of County
Commissioners for its review the proposal it had selected as the most
responsive. On January 24, 2022, the Town notified the County that it intended
to reimburse the funds received from the Waterfront Access Bond and on July 15,
2022, it delivered to the County the corresponding payment. Since the Town has
reimbursed the County, staff recommends that the Interlocal Agreement be
terminated and funds reallocated to the Peanut Island Improvements project
noting that to ensure compliance with U.S. Treasury Regulations applicable to
the issued bond, the funds will need to be expended within two years of
receipt. (PREM) Districts 1 & 7 (HJF)
