PAGE ITEM
42 5D-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to
adopt: Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, creating the Palm Beach
County Advisory Committee on Behavioral Health, Substance Use and Co-Occurring
Disorders; providing for a purpose; providing for membership, appointments,
terms; providing for officers; providing for roles and responsibilities;
providing for Sunshine Law, code of ethics; providing for meetings; providing
for subcommittees; providing for general provisions; and providing for
effective date, sunset. SUMMARY: In
response to Palm Beach County’s opioid epidemic, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved an Opioid Response Plan (ORP) on April 4, 2017
entitled Opioid Crisis: Palm Beach
County’s Response. The ORP recommended that a coordinated response be created through the designation of a primary entity
responsible for the integration of all efforts relative to the epidemic; the
need for leadership and guidance from an experienced veteran accustomed to
working on solving substance use disorders and the establishment of an opioid
response steering committee to guide the County’s work. In 2018, the County
created a position within the Community Services Department (CSD) to implement
the goals and strategies outlined in the ORP. In 2019, CSD filled the position
and the newly hired individual worked with key community members to develop an
Opioid Response Steering Committee comprised of key stakeholders who work
within the behavioral health and substance use disorder
system of care. In 2019, the BCC
identified the opioid epidemic, behavioral health, and substance use disorder
as a high strategic priority with a strategic goal to establish a system that
was person-centered and recovery-oriented in order to improve long-term
recovery outcomes and quality of care. To align with the BCC’s high strategic
priority, the Opioid Response Steering Committee was renamed the Behavioral
Health, Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorder Steering Committee (Committee).
The Committee is responsible for working with the position within the CSD to
evaluate, update and monitor the progress of the ORP. The Committee is also
responsible for coordinating with key organizations and stakeholders involved
with enhancing the overall system of care. The Committee has a strategic focus
on six strategic areas which include, but are not
limited to: Prevention and Education, Treatment and Recovery, Public Policy,
Justice and Public Safety, Evaluation and Monitoring and Essential Services.
The Behavioral Health, Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorder Steering
Committee members will be transitioned into the Palm
Beach County Advisory Committee on Behavioral Health, Substance Use and
Co-Occurring Disorder and will be administered by the Community Services
Department. Countywide (HH) (Comm Svs)

motion to receive and file: Modification P00007 (Mod 7) to Other Transaction Agreement No.
70T01018T9NCKP023 (R2018-0382, as amended) (OTA) with the United States of
America, acting through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA),
pertaining to TSA’s use of security checkpoint and baggage screening areas at
the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI); extending the period of
reimbursement for electric utility charges from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023;
and increasing the annual reimbursement amount for electric utility charges by $1,059.12
to $30,874.68 annually. SUMMARY: The OTA formalizes TSA’s obligations related
to use of security checkpoints and areas for the screening of passengers,
property and baggage, and provides for reimbursement of electrical costs
associated with equipment, HVAC, and lighting. TSA reimburses the County for
electricity costs associated with its screening equipment based on a schedule
of equipment located at the checkpoints listed in Exhibit 2A-3, which replaces
Exhibit 2A-2 in Mod 7. TSA
recently replaced components of its screening equipment, resulting in higher
electric consumption; therefore, TSA will increase the annual reimbursement for
the equipment charges from
$29,815.56 to $30,874.68, an increase of $1,059.12. The reimbursement sum of
$97,289.04 for HVAC and lighting remains unchanged. Mod 7 also obligates funding by TSA for
reimbursement of electric costs through May 31, 2023. TSA issued Mod 7 unilaterally and did not
require the County to sign. Countywide (AH)

and terminating September 30, 2024, with one two-year renewal option, providing
for Frontier to provide commercial air service at the Palm Beach International
Airport (PBI); and for the lease of 282 square feet of ticket counter space, 240 square feet of ticket office
space and one preferential use passenger gate and hold room for payment of

Agreement allows Frontier to operate at PBI as a signatory airline and provides
for the lease of approximately 2,615 square feet of space, including two ticket
counters, ticket office space and one preferential use passenger gate. In order
to become a signatory airline, airlines are required to execute a Signatory
Airline Agreement, which requires the lease of a minimum amount of space and
does not permit termination for convenience. Rate and charges for airlines are
determined in accordance with methodology established by the Signatory Airline
Agreement, which are lower for airlines willing to commit to a Signatory
Airline Agreement. The Signatory Airline Agreement expires September 30, 2024,
and will automatically renew through September 30, 2026, unless terminated in
accordance with the terms of the Signatory Airline Agreement. Frontier previously operated as a

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve budget amendment of $2,686,576.74 in the Public Building Improvement
Fund recognizing revenue received and to increase the Palm Beach County
Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) Headquarters Modification project (Project) budget
account for Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E); and
B) authorize the transfer of
all assets, purchased pursuant to the Project, to the Sheriff at completion of
construction for tracking, maintenance and renewal/ replacement.
SUMMARY: This budget amendment increases the Project budget for the County to
purchase and install FF&E for the PBSO Headquarters facility to complete
the pending renovation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain delays, fuel
prices and other variables the County is seeing an impact on the cost of goods
and services. Additionally, the FF&E
budget required realignment with the scope and single-phase construction
approach of the ongoing renovation. Prior estimates for FF&E were
$3,790,000; however, due to the aforementioned factors the revised estimate for
FF&E is $6,476,575.74. PBSO funded $2,000,000 in FY 2021 and $1,790,000 in
FY 2022 and has agreed and planned to fund the difference in full. While all of these purchases are the
responsibility of the County, historically the Board of County Commissioners
has placed the funds needed for the purchase of non-fixed equipment in the
Sheriff’s budget so that PBSO is responsible for the ordering, tracking,
maintenance renewal and replacement of such items. Fixed equipment is purchased, tracked and maintained by Facilities Development
& Operations (FDO). PBSO and County staffs have determined that it
is in the best interests of both parties to have the procurement of FF&E
undertaken by the County to ensure proper coordination between the
specification and construction preparation in terms of installation and
delivery. At the completion of
construction, staff is recommending that all assets purchased from this funding
be transferred back to the Sheriff for tracking,
maintenance and renewal/replacement. (FDO Admin) Countywide/District 3 (MWJ)

$625,000 in HOME funding and a $65,000 HOME/CHDO grant towards the construction
of five single-family homes in the Glades area.
One site was plagued with soil issues and had to be
removed from the project.
Amendment 001 reduced the funding amounts for construction and CHDO expenses
by 20% to reflect the lost unit. HHS has
located a replacement site and the number of units and the funding amounts
originally allocated for the project have been reinstated

CPSF rented the complex located at 1311 Tamarind Avenue/1304 13th
Street in West Palm Beach and the acquisition will preserve the site’s current
use as a transitional housing facility and ensure the long-term affordability
of the units. The loan agreement with Berkeley Landing LLC provides a
total of $1,090,000 (SHIP $500,500 and non-federal funding $589,500) to
construct Berkeley Landing, a 112-unit multifamily rental development,

Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement Regarding Settlement of Reclaimed Water Dispute (Settlement Agreement) with East Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Facilities Operation Board (ECR Board) in the amount of $1,062,304. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County (County) and Florida Power & Light (FPL) entered into a Reclaimed Water Agreement dated May 20, 2008 (R2008-0906) (FPL Agreement). In accordance with the FPL Agreement, a Reclaimed Water Project (RWP) was constructed, consisting of a reclaimed water facility located adjacent to the East Central Regional Water Reclamation Facility (ECR), a reclaimed water pipeline from the ECR to FPL’s West County Energy Center (WCEC), and certain other facilities located at the WCEC. In accordance with the County’s Interlocal Agreement with the ECR Board (R2008-0907) (Reclaimed Interlocal), the ECR provides treated wastewater from the ECR to the RWP to produce reclaimed water for delivery to the WCEC. Pursuant to the FPL Agreement, FPL is to receive up to 22 million gallons per day (MGD) annual average daily flow and 27 MGD peak usage of reclaimed water for cooling and other purposes at the WCEC. The FPL Agreement contains certain reclaimed water quality requirements, and pursuant to Section 9.3 of the FPL Agreement, the County is required to provide 3.2 MGD of potable water at no cost to FPL on days when the quality requirements are not met. The FPL Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 dated January 24, 2012 (R2012-0212), and by the Settlement Agreement and Amendment No. 2 dated August 17, 2021 (R2021-1149). On September 26, 2016, and in accordance with the FPL Agreement, FPL provided the County with a notice of dispute letter regarding a failure of the County to deliver reclaimed water in accordance with certain supply and quality requirements under the FPL Agreement. Said failure related to deteriorating conditions at the ECR, which affected the quality of the treated wastewater provided to the RWP for treatment and delivery to the WCEC. Pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Reclaimed Interlocal, the ECR Board is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the treated wastewater to the County at all times at the quality achieved during Fiscal Year 2007. The County contends that the ECR has failed to meet its obligation under Section 3.8 of the Reclaimed Interlocal during the period of January 1, 2016 through May 1, 2021, which has caused the County to incur damages under the FPL Agreement; and the ECR Board has disputed the County’s contention but recognizes that the County has incurred damages under the FPL Agreement due to ECR quality issues. The key terms of the Settlement Agreement include the ECR’s payment of $1,062,303.54 to the County no later than December 31, 2022 and a mutual release of all claims up to the effective date of this Settlement Agreement. The County, as a member of the ECR Board, will be responsible for its 2022-23 fiscal year flow share of the payment. Countywide (MWJ)

services to primary and secondary victims. Amendment 9 to subcontract #16TFGR26
(R2016-1195,CSFA 64.061 and CSFA 64.069), revises the contract amount from
$933,840 to $1,090,010 which is inclusive of the $933,840 allocation received

other supportive services as needed.
Subcontract #22OAG26 (R2016-1197, CSFA No. 41.010) will fund a portion
of the salary and benefits for the Project Coordinator. All other provisions in
the contract are still in effect and are to be performed

SAFETY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt:
a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), Palm Beach County,
Florida to establish a process for Palm Beach County (PBC) Youth Reentry
Program emergency expenditures. SUMMARY:
On July 12, 2022, the BCC approved the Public Safety Department to insource the
Youth Reentry Program under their Justice Services Division. The program will
provide critical services to juvenile-justice involved youth (and their
families) returning to the community from incarceration. The program is funded through ad valorem tax support and other funding
sources, as approved by the BCC. The PBC Youth Reentry
Program will also provide emergency financial assistance to reentry youth,
their families, and/or relevant supportive networks; for things such as food,
clothing, temporary housing or shelter, utility payments, immediate behavioral
health services, crisis intervention, basic need items, emergency medical
services and medication, and other support deemed immediate and critical to
ensure that the health and safety needs of youth, families, and the community
are met. The establishment of the PBC Youth Reentry Program emergency
expenditure process is similar to the process that was
established by the BCC via Resolution R88-267 to provide victims of
crime emergency financial assistance. Policies and procedures were also established for the administration of funding for
emergency expenditures necessitated by the provision of youth reentry program
services. Having these processes in place is in the best interest of the County
to allow for the provision of emergency goods/services to best support our
clients. Countywide (RS)

B. HOUSING AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A)
approve an Infrastructure Sales Tax (IST) Program award in the amount of $2.5M
to The Housing Authority of Belle Glade;
B)
direct staff to negotiate the loan agreement; and
C)
authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute the loan agreement,
amendments thereto, and all other documents necessary for project
implementation.
SUMMARY: On
September 7, 2022, the Department of Housing and Economic Development issued a
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) HED.2022.3, making $2.5M in IST funding
available to Public Housing Authorities related to homeless, extremely low or
low-income projects, on a first come, first eligible, and first funded basis. Two
proposals were received and reviewed for eligibility and responsiveness in the
order they were submitted. On
September 26, 2022, staff completed the responsiveness review and is
recommending approval of the Belle Glade Housing Authority project. The Belle Glade Housing Authority (BGHA) was
the first proposal received and it requests the full $2.5M for the restoration
and rehabilitation of up to 534 housing units. The BGHA will use County funds
to help restore 116 vacant units, rehabilitate 31 uninhabitable units and
convert 24 units to handicap-accessible within their Okeechobee and Osceola
sites for farm labor housing. County funding will also assist in filling the
gap in cost for completing the renovation of an additional 363 occupied units. All units will be for families whose income
is no greater than 80% of the Area Median Income. The affordability period for
all housing units and residential facilities shall be in perpetuity. BGHA’s
overall project includes the repair and improvements to its 712-units at
Okeechobee and Osceola farm labor housing. Improvements include: importing of fill, grade and compaction to
eliminate harborage areas caused by soil subsidence, complete street and
parking area resurfacing (Osceola), reengineering and replacement of asphalt
pathways to unit entries to eliminate hazardous conditions, installation of
speed humps and car stops (Osceola), replacement of roofs most in need of
repair (metal overlay), add new gutters and downspouts, repairs and makeover of
units most in need of renovation, installation of new impact resistant windows
(as needed), replace aging HVAC systems throughout, mold remediation (where
needed), and add engineered asphalt pathways to unit entries. The total
project cost is $16,845,000. This includes a funding request of $10,680,000 to
the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), $2,500,000 from the Housing
Assistance Council and $750,000 to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of
Atlanta. The USDA and FHLB funding
requests are pending approval. To facilitate project implementation, staff
requests authorization for the County Administrator or designee to execute the
loan agreements and related documents. These are County IST Program funds. District 6 (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve an agreement with Florida Atlantic University (FAU) to develop a
Watershed Master Plan (WMP) in the amount not to exceed $500,000 for drainage
basin and hydraulic analyses for Unincorporated Palm Beach County, and any
additional related work pursuant to the agreement for the period November 1,
2022 to October 31, 2027. The first year will be in the
amount of $210,000 for FAU’s support on the WMP. The work will not start
until the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) grant agreement has
been executed; and
B) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute the
contract, amendments thereto, task orders and any other necessary documents
related to the WMP with Florida Atlantic University.
SUMMARY: Developing
a WMP is a prerequisite for all communities to achieve a Class 4 or higher CRS
(Community Rating System) rating and is important to understanding floodplain
management and the ways in which water travels in a community. FAU staff have
assisted a number of other communities in developing a WMP and is currently
encouraging several municipalities to collaborate with the County in developing
a WMP, potentially affecting the total scope of work required. On April 8,
2022, FDEM announced a Watershed Master Plan grant opportunity for CRS
communities to aid them in the development of a WMP to help improve their CRS
ratings. This opportunity was for a 75% federal match for a total reimbursement
amount of $210,000. On May 17, 2022, the Board of County Commissioner approved
the preparation and execution of a Watershed Master Plan grant application with
FDEM and on September 16, 2022, the County was awarded
the FDEM grant. The County is currently waiting for FDEM to provide a grant
agreement for execution. Development of the County’s WMP may not commence until
the County has executed the FDEM grant agreement. Unincorporated (RM)

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution of
the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, creating the
Palm Beach County Advisory Committee on Behavioral Health, Substance Use and
Co-Occurring Disorders; providing for a purpose; providing for membership,
appointments, terms; providing for officers; providing for roles and
responsibilities; providing for Sunshine Law, code of ethics; providing for
meetings; providing for subcommittees; providing for general provisions; and
providing for effective date, sunset. SUMMARY:
In response to Palm Beach County’s opioid epidemic, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved an Opioid Response Plan (ORP) on April 4, 2017
entitled Opioid Crisis: Palm Beach
County’s Response. The ORP recommended that a coordinated response be created through the designation of a primary entity
responsible for the integration of all efforts relative to the epidemic; the
need for leadership and guidance from an experienced veteran accustomed to
working on solving substance use disorders and the establishment of an opioid
response steering committee to guide the County’s work. In 2018, the County
created a position within the Community Services Department (CSD) to implement
the goals and strategies outlined in the ORP. In 2019, CSD filled the position
and the newly hired individual worked with key community members to develop an
Opioid Response Steering Committee comprised of key stakeholders who work
within the behavioral health and substance use disorder
system of care. In 2019, the BCC
identified the opioid epidemic, behavioral health, and substance use disorder
as a high strategic priority with a strategic goal to establish a system that
was person-centered and recovery-oriented in order to improve long-term
recovery outcomes and quality of care. To align with the BCC’s high strategic
priority, the Opioid Response Steering Committee was renamed the Behavioral
Health, Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorder Steering Committee (Committee).
The Committee is responsible for working with the position within the CSD to
evaluate, update and monitor the progress of the ORP. The Committee is also
responsible for coordinating with key organizations and stakeholders involved
with enhancing the overall system of care. The Committee has a strategic focus
on six strategic areas which include, but are not
limited to: Prevention and Education, Treatment and Recovery, Public Policy,
Justice and Public Safety, Evaluation and Monitoring and Essential Services.
The Behavioral Health, Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorder Steering
Committee members will be transitioned into the Palm
Beach County Advisory Committee on Behavioral Health, Substance Use and
Co-Occurring Disorder and will be administered by the Community Services
