motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the School
Board of Palm Beach County (School Board) for the dedication of right-of-way on
Lyons Road and 47th Place South (ROW) to Palm Beach County (County),
and for the design and construction of roadway and traffic signal improvements
on Lyons Road. SUMMARY: The
County is widening Lyons Road from the Lake Worth Drainage District L-14 Canal
to north of Lake Worth Road (Project) and needs additional ROW for drainage.
The School Board is constructing a new high school at the intersection of Lyons
Road and 47th Place South, and is required to design, permit, and
construct roadway improvements on Lyons Road and 47th Place South,
including traffic signals on Lyons Road, to serve the new school. Approval
of this Agreement will allow the School Board to dedicate ROW to the County,
and design, permit, and construct improvements on 47th Place South
to serve the new school; and the County to design, permit and construct traffic
signal and roadway improvements on Lyons Road with its Project to serve the new
school. District 6 (YBH)
6. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a resolution
authorizing the conveyance of ten parcels along the south side of State Road
No. 806 (Atlantic Avenue), Item/Segment No. 2296584, Section 93030-2503
(Parcels), west of Lyons Road, to the State of Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT); and
B) approve
a Palm Beach County (County) deed
to convey the Parcels at no cost to FDOT.
SUMMARY:
Adoption of the resolution will authorize the approval of a County deed
to convey the Parcels to FDOT, as they requested, to accommodate the relocation
of the Lake Worth Drainage District L-34 Canal for the widening of Atlantic
Avenue. The Parcels were dedicated to
the County as recorded in Plat Book 14, Page 1, Atlantic Park, on May 5, 1926.
The Engineering Department has determined that the Parcels serve no present or
future County purpose. This
conveyance will relieve the County of potential liability and the cost of
maintenance for these Parcels. This conveyance to FDOT is at no cost, and is
pursuant to Section 125.38, Florida Statutes. Although the County normally
reserves its interest in phosphates, minerals, metals and petroleum rights per
Section 270.11, Florida Statutes, FDOT has requested the release of this reservation,
as it requires the Parcels to be free and clear without encumbrances. In
accordance with County ordinance (2019-038), a supermajority vote (5 votes) is
required by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for all transfers of fee
simple real property that requires BCC approval. District 5 (YBH)

Annual Civil Engineering Professional Services Contract (R2022-0461) dated May
17, 2022 (Contract) with Civil
Design, Inc. (CDI) in the amount of $234,299.69 for the Pheasant Walk Subdivision Improvements (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this CSA will provide the professional services necessary for drainage
improvements to alleviate flooding for the Project. The Affirmative
Procurement Initiatives selected for this Contract on June 16, 2021 by the Goal
Setting Committee are a 20% Small
Business Enterprise (SBE) participation and a Minority Business Enterprise
evaluation preference for African American owned firms. CDI agreed to 75% SBE
participation for the Contract. CDI agreed to 100% SBE participation for this
CSA. CDI has an office located in Palm Beach County and is a certified SBE
company. This Project is funded by the ARPA Response Replacement Fund. District 4 (YBH)
8. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: Change Order No. 5 to the contract with
Rosso Site Development, Inc. (RSD) dated October 5, 2021 (R2021-1411) for a
time extension of 46 days for Belvedere Heights Phase 1, Sidewalks and
Pedestrian Lights (Project). SUMMARY:
Change Order No. 5 for a time extension of 46 days was approved by the Contract
Review Committee in accordance with PPM CW-F-050. Since the cumulative number
of days now exceeds the cumulative 120 day threshold for time extensions, this
change order must be submitted by the initiating Department as a receive and
file agenda item. Change Order No. 5 is pursuant to the Florida Department of
Transportation Specification 8-7.3.2 for weather and FPL delays, and Specification
8-6.4 for holidays. In accordance with aforementioned specifications, contract
time shall be adjusted if the contractor elects to cease operations for
predetermined holidays or special events. The contract specifications are
generic and based upon calendar days, giving the contractor the ability to
decide when to start work. Should the work period extend over holidays when no
work occurs, the contractor is entitled to a time extension for each holiday,
per these specifications. Because this project is funded by a federal grant
through the Florida Department of Transportation Local Agency Program, this
Project must be considered final on or before December 31, 2022, or lose
funding. This agenda item is the last remaining change order before the project
can be closed out. The final cost of this Project is $1,368,172. District 2

motion to approve: Change Order No. 2 to the contract with Rosso Site
Development, Inc. (RSD) dated December 21, 2021 (R2021-1893) for a time
extension of 76 days for Belvedere Heights Phase 2, Sidewalks and Pedestrian
Lights (Project). SUMMARY: Per PPM
CW-F-050, the time extension in Change Order No. 2 exceeds staff approval, and
requires approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Approval of Change
Order No. 2 will allow a time extension of 76 days to RSD, pursuant to the
Florida Department of Transportation Specification 8-7.3.2. The Palm Beach
County Water Utilities Department had an ongoing project that conflicted with
the start of construction for this Project, and caused the 76 day delay.
Because this Project is funded by a federal grant through the Florida
Department of Transportation Local Agency Program, the Notice to Proceed had to
occur on or before March 2, 2022, or lose funding; and the Equal Business
Opportunity Ordinance is not applicable to the contract. District 2

10. Staff recommends motion to approve: Consultant Service Authorization (CSA) No. 2 to the Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) Annual Services Contract (R2021-0883) dated July 13, 2021 (Contract) with BCC Engineering, LLC (BCCE) in the amount of $603,820.81 for Lyons Road/Sansbury’s Way Buffered Bike Lanes (Project).

The Affirmative Procurement Initiatives selected for this Contract on November 6, 2019 by the Goal Setting Committee are a 20% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation and an SBE evaluation preference. BCCE agreed to 30% SBE participation for the Contract and 30.17% SBE participation for this CSA. The cumulative SBE participation to date for the Contract including this CSA is 30.27%. The construction contract for this Project (R2022-0914) was awarded for $5,862,084.91 on September 13, 2022.

Enterprise (SBE) participation and a Minority Business Enterprise evaluation
preference for African American owned firms. MRA agreed to 27% SBE participation

D. COUNTY
ATTORNEY
1. Staff
recommends motion to approve: the first amendment to contract for Professional Legal Services with
LaBovick & LaBovick, P.A., dba LaBovick Law Group, for legal services
relating to personal injury protection (PIP) insurance claims for Fire Rescue
emergency transport services. This first amendment renews the contract for the
period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, with one remaining one-year
renewal option. No payment shall be made by County; however the law firm shall
retain interest, penalties, postage and/or attorney’s fees and costs paid by
insurers in related PIP demands or litigation. SUMMARY: On April 2,
2019, pursuant to a Request for Proposals, the County entered into a contract
with LaBovick & LaBovick, P.A. for legal services relating to PIP insurance
claims for Fire Rescue emergency transports.
The original contract term was from April 2, 2019 through March 31,
2023, with two one-year renewal options under the same terms and conditions.
This first amendment exercises the first renewal option to renew the contract
for the period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, under the same terms
and conditions, with one remaining one-year renewal option. The law firm
represents the County on an on-going basis in the statutory process to make
demand, and where appropriate file suit, against PIP insurers to maximize the
recovery of unpaid or underpaid PIP benefits for Fire Rescue auto-related
emergency transports. The law firm works directly with Fire Rescue’s emergency
transport third-party billing vendor to review all PIP insurance claims that
were not paid in full. The law firm has legal expertise in PIP and medical
billing, and a specialized information technology system, to handle the large
volume of PIP claims generated by Fire Rescue’s emergency transports. No
payments are made by the County to the law firm. However, the law firm retains any attorney’s fees and costs paid by
insurers as negotiated by the firm or awarded in litigation, as well as
interest, penalties and postage paid under the PIP statute, provided the County
has received full payment of all PIP benefits due or has duly authorized the
settlement or compromise of a PIP claim. Countywide (SGB)

Solutions Grant (ESG) Program funds:
A) Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc.

individuals fleeing domestic violence; and
C) YWCA of Palm Beach County, Inc. (YWCA), in
an amount not-to-exceed $40,642, to provide emergency shelter to individuals
fleeing domestic violence.
SUMMARY: On July 12,
2022, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Palm Beach County
Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2022-2023, which allocated $459,404 in ESG Program
funds for nonprofit agencies to assist people experiencing homelessness, or are
at risk of homelessness, including those fleeing domestic violence. These
agreements will fund homeless services, including the operation and maintenance
of emergency shelters, and financial assistance to rapidly re-house families.
Activities include: case management, rental assistance, food, maintenance,
utility assistance, security, equipment, insurance, and supplies for emergency
shelters. In FY 2021, AAF served 45 family households, and expended 100% of its
ESG award. Under this new agreement, AAF is expected to serve 35 family
households in its rapid re-housing program. In FY 2021, AVDA
served 98 individual and family households, and expended 100% of its ESG award.
Under this new agreement, AVDA is expected to serve 70 individual and family
households at its emergency shelters. In FY 2021, YWCA served 175 individual
and family households, and expended 100% of its ESG award. Under this new
agreement, YWCA is expected to serve 175 individual and family households at
its emergency shelters. The reduction in the estimated number
of individuals and family households served from one program year to another is
due to the increase in cost per client from FY 2021 to FY 2023.
The cost of personnel has increased, which in turn increases the cost per
client. These federal ESG funds require a matching contribution, which will be
provided by the funded agencies. No County match is required. (Division

On February 11, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the
annual minor construction contract (R2020-0142 through R2020-0151) for
construction services associated with repairs, improvements and renovations to
County properties. To date, the County has awarded $15,501,394.08 in work
orders. Staff is requesting the cumulative limit be increased by $10,000,000
for a total cumulative value of $25,000,000 in order to accommodate additional
anticipated new projects required to be accomplished before the term of this
contract expires on February 10, 2025. Work is to be awarded as work orders on
a lump sum, competitively bid basis across all prequalified contractors.
Contractors are allowed to qualify at any time and be added to this annual
contract. Projects $100,000 and over are advertised on the vendor self-service
website while projects $200,000 and over are also advertised in the newspaper.
Projects under $100,000 are bid among the pool of pre-qualified contractors
(currently 32 have pre-qualified) and
for projects over $100,000, the bidding pool is expanded to include any
additional bidders responding to the specific project advertisement that submit
a qualification application at least ten days before the bid due date. This

Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the contract (R2021-0575) with

ensures public safety and emergency response communications within the service
area. The original scope of work, which was necessary to be achieved prior to
the commencement of any loading to the tower with end user antennas and lines, is
substantially complete. Change Order No. 07 to the Contract authorizes the
Contractor to furnish all services, materials, equipment, tools, testing,

for a period of 180 calendar days from notice to proceed. SUMMARY: On
October 20, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the annual
minor construction contract (R2020-1575) with Ralph Della-Pietra, Inc.
(Contractor) for repairs, improvements and renovations to County properties.
Work Order No. 22-007 authorizes the coordination, procurement and installation
of a temporary trailer and all associated infrastructure for use as a temporary
fire station during construction of the new Fire Station 49 facility. There has
been extensive growth along Lyons Road between Boynton Beach Boulevard and
West Atlantic Avenue. Unfortunately, this growth has contributed to an
increased emergency response time at several communities west of Boynton Beach
and Delray Beach. The temporary trailer will allow for reduced emergency
response times during construction of the new Fire Station 49, which will be
located at 12555 Lyons Rd. in Boynton Beach. 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 180 calendar days from notice to proceed to substantially
complete the project. Liquidated damages for failure to achieve substantial
completion within the contract time or approved time extension thereof are $350
per day. On August 21, 2019, the Goal Setting Committee applied the following
Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (API) for this annual contract: 1)
Sheltered Market for projects less than $100,000; or 2) 10% Small Business

is a mandatory subcontracting goal of 25% SBE participation. The Contractor is
an SBE and committed to 64% SBE participation on this work order. To date, the

SUMMARY: On
June 21, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the
continuing contract (R2016-0762) with Robling for construction management services
for various capital improvement projects throughout the County. On May 5, 2020,
the Board approved Amendment No. 20 (R2020-0441) to the contract with Robling
establishing a GMP in the amount of $1,217,482 to construct a courtyard at the
Palm Beach County Convention Center. Four change orders were subsequently
approved to address changes in Project scope and provide additional time for
completion, all at no additional cost. During construction, Robling poured
concrete planter walls without the specified concrete color additive; resulting
in a finished product that did not conform to the approved Project drawings and
expectations upon final completion. As a result, and in lieu of demolishing and
reconstructing the planter walls, Robling has agreed to install a pre-cast
colored concrete overlay onto the planter walls and guarantee same for an
extended period of five years at no additional cost to the County, allowing for
deduction of the remaining $45,278.87 from the contract amount. The schedule
provided by Robling requires 500 days from the current contractual end date of
the project (i.e. June 30, 2021) to complete this work. As the project has been designed and overseen
by the Artist, an additional 393 days from the January 31, 2022 end date of the

Z. RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the first amendment to Contract R2022-0367 for Occupational
Health Physician/Medical Director Services with Concentra which allows the
County to request laboratory testing services and additional medical personnel
to assist with Fire Rescue recruit physicals and other circumstances when
additional staff is necessary, and increases the not-to-exceed contract amount
by $50,000, for a new not-to-exceed amount of $514,900. SUMMARY: In
April of 2022, the County entered into an agreement with Concentra to provide
full-time on-site physician services at the County’s Occupational Health
Clinic. Since that time, Risk Management has recognized the need to add
contract provisions that will allow
Concentra to provide laboratory testing services as needed, as well as
additional staffing for times when it is necessary to meet the time sensitive
deadlines associated with Fire Rescue recruit physicals, CDL physicals and/or other short term increases in traffic
to the Occupational Health Clinic, or in times when internal staff shortages
could occur. This amendment will increase the current not-to-exceed contract
value of $464,900 by no more than $50,000 to the new not-to-exceed amount of
$514,900. Countywide (HH)

experts, and other professionals deemed necessary.
SUMMARY: On November 15, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved this amendment of Ordinance No. 2022-015 on preliminary reading and authorized advertisement for today’s Public Hearing for final adoption. This is the annual update of the County’s Road Program, which is required to be considered each year by the Road Program Ordinance. The Unified Land Development Code requires that concurrent with the adoption of the annual Road Program, the BCC must determine that the appropriate Findings of Fact associated with the Road Program have been made. Those findings have been made. Exhibit “A” to the Ordinance contains the road projects to be undertaken by the County in the next five years. The approval to hire professionals will facilitate the property acquisitions necessary to accomplish the road improvement goals of the Road Program, as amended herein, for Fiscal Year 2023 through Fiscal Year 2027.

C. ENVIRONMENTAL
RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm
Beach County, Florida, conceptually approving the conveyance of a permanent,
non-exclusive easement over approximately 2.8 acres of environmentally
sensitive land within Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area to Florida Power & Light
to allow for the construction, maintenance, and operation of a new 230 kV
transmission line; and conceptually accepting Florida Power & Light’s
donation and transfer of approximately 14.13 acres of high-quality,
environmentally sensitive land into the county’s conservation lands program and
the permanent preservation of that land as part of Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area,
pursuant to the Conservation Lands Protection Ordinance (Ordinance 2003-052). SUMMARY: This is the first of two
agenda items to come before the Board of County Commissioners (Board) in
compliance with the requirements of the County’s Conservation Lands Protection
Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2003-052, CLPO). This item will conceptually approve the
conveyance of a permanent, non-exclusive utility easement over County-owned
conservation lands in exchange for the donation of approximately five times as
much high-quality environmentally sensitive lands. The second agenda item,
which is tentatively scheduled to come to the Board on January 10, 2023, will
formally authorize conveyance of the easement and acceptance of the
compensatory land donation. Florida Power & Light (FPL) submitted an application
for Interest in Conservation Lands under the CLPO to obtain an easement over
five 15-foot-wide strips of land, totaling 2.8 acres, within the County’s
Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area (Natural Area). The requested easement will
allow FPL to construct, maintain, and operate a new 230 kV transmission line between
its Ryder Substation, located north of PGA Boulevard and east of the C-18
Canal, and Cayman Substation, located east of Military Trail and north of 45th
Street. The proposed transmission line will fulfill a substantial public need
by helping FPL maintain regional reliability, avoid system overload, and meet
future load growth in Palm Beach County. It also will help FPL comply with
North American Electric Reliability Corporation planning standards. There is no
acceptable alternative that would meet the specified public need other than the
use of conservation lands. The requested easement contains the minimum acreage necessary
to accommodate the proposed project, impacts the lowest quality habitat, and
avoids habitat fragmentation, noise, and light pollution on the remaining
portion of the Natural Area. The lands upon which the easement will be placed
are on the periphery of the Natural Area adjacent to public right-of-way. The
requested easement will not affect the continued survival of any species listed
as endangered, threatened, rare, or of special concern by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Florida
Committee on Rare and Endangered Plants and Animals, or the Florida Department
of Agriculture. In exchange for the requested easement, FPL will donate and
transfer 14.13 acres of high-quality environmentally sensitive lands into the
County’s Conservation Lands Program. The proposed land donation meets the
relevant criteria for acquisition as specified in the CLPO and is sufficient in
terms of acreage, location, and quality to ensure that the proposed donation
will result in an “Exceptional Benefit to the Conservation Lands Program.”

RESOURCES MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)
1. (Cont’d) SUMMARY: The 14.13 acres of
land to be donated to the County are of comparable ecological value and are
contiguous to and surrounded by the Natural area on two sides, with less
exposure to roadways than the land to be placed under easement. The net value
of the donated lands exceeds the current value of the requested easement. The
donated lands will be incorporated into the adjacent Natural Area and managed
by the County’s Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM). Adoption
of this resolution will conceptually authorize the County’s conveyance of the
requested easement to FPL, subject to FPL’s donation of approximately 14.13
acres of environmentally sensitive lands to the County and transfer of those
lands into the Conservation Lands Program. The actual transfer of the requested
Interest in Conservation Lands and acceptance of the compensatory land donation
require a separate submittal for consideration by the Board, at one of its
regular meetings, of an easement or other instrument capable of conveying the
requested easement interest from the County to FPL and a warranty deed,
purchase and sale agreement, or other instrument capable of conveying the
donation lands to the County in fee simple title. ERM, the Natural Areas Management Advisory
Committee and City of Palm Beach Gardens agree that FPL’s Application for
Interest in Conservation Lands satisfies the requirements of the CLPO, and
recommend approval of the application. There
is no cost associated with this item. This
resolution must be adopted by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). District 1 (SF)

1. Staff recommends a
motion to adopt: a Resolution
of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), Florida, making
certain findings and designating the real property located at 9645 and 9719
Lantana Road in unincorporated Palm Beach County, Florida 33467, further
identified by Property Control Numbers 00-42-43-27-05-034-0431 and
00-42-43-27-05-034-0432 (the Subject Property), as a Brownfield Area pursuant
to Section 376.80(2)(c), Florida Statutes, to be known as Encompass Health
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 October 18, 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, November 15, 2022 at 9:30 a.m., and Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at 9:30
a.m. On November 15, 2022, the BCC
approved a motion to approve on first reading and to advertise for adoption on
December 20, 2022. On September 14, 2022, the owner of the property,
Encompass Health Rehabilitation of Lake Worth, LLC, submitted an application to
the Department of Housing and Economic Development to designate the Subject
Property as a Brownfield Area. The
western portion of the Subject Property was formerly operated as a mulching
business and is impacted by discharges of arsenic. The eastern portion of the property is a
single-family home and is impacted by concentrations of the benzo(a)pyrene
congeners. The applicant plans to
develop the Subject Property as an institutional development (Hospital). The rezoning of the 8.21 acre site was
approved by the BCC at the June 23, 2022 Zoning Hearing via Resolution
2022-0630, concurrent with a future land use amendment, to allow for the
development of 76,049 square feet of hospital use. The approved Preliminary
Site Plan indicates a two-phased development with 54,642 square feet and 50
beds within Phase 1, and 21,407 square feet and 30 beds in Phase 2, with 147
parking spaces. Prior to redevelopment, the applicant is seeking a “Brownfield
Area” designation under Florida’s Brownfields Redevelopment Act. The applicant
indicates that the proposed development will create no fewer than 88 permanent,
full-time equivalent jobs in its first year of operation, which exceeds the
minimum job creation threshold of 5 jobs. No
County funds for implementation are required. District 6 (HJF)

E. FACILITIES
DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt:
A) an Ordinance of
the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending
Section 19-20 of the Palm Beach County Code; providing for repeal of laws in
conflict; providing for severability; providing for a savings clause; providing
for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and providing for an
effective date; and
B) 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: This is an ordinance to amend Section 19-20
of the Palm Beach County Parking Ordinance (Ordinance 2006-008) to recognize
certain County parking management practices. The Palm Beach County Parking
Ordinance, among other things, authorizes the County Engineer to
determine and designate traffic restrictions on certain roads within the
boundaries of the County, and, subject to resolution of the Board, to establish
parking regulations in parking areas located on property owned or leased by the
County, whether or not such parking areas are located within the boundaries of
a municipality. The proposed revision to the ordinance recognizes that the
County Engineer may delegate his authority to establish parking regulations for
certain parking facilities to other County departments. Since the first reading
to amend this ordinance on November 15, 2022, a minor edit was made, removing
reference to the pronouns “his or her” to the revision recognizing the County
Engineer’s delegation authority. The Facilities Development & Operations
department (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 (PPM) 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. Currently, only three of the locations managed by FDO provide
for assessment of metered parking fees: the Judicial Center Garage and surface
lot, the Governmental Center Garage, and the 4th Street surface lot
located adjacent to the Governmental Center. The County Engineer will continue
to maintain authority over any metered parking within County road
rights-of-way. The County Engineer has no objection and supports this request.

A) receive and file Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Public Transportation Grant
Agreement (PTGA) 452128-1-94-01 in the amount of $388,282 for Work Order MC 02:
T-Hangar Electrical Improvements at Palm Beach County Park Airport (LNA).
Delegation of authority for execution of this grant was approved by the BCC on
August 25, 2020 (R2020-1017). This grant is effective as of November 2, 2022
with an expiration date of December 31, 2024;
B) approve Amendment No 8 to the Construction Manager (CM) at Risk Contract
(Contract) with The Morganti Group, Inc. (MGI) for CM at Risk Services for
Airport Improvements for Palm Beach County Department of Airports (Department)
in the amount of $479,604 and 196 calendar days for Work Order MC 02: T-Hangar

year renewal option for the continuation of services; and
C) approve a budget amendment of $388,282 in the Airport's Improvement and
Development Fund to recognize the receipt of grant funding from the FDOT.
SUMMARY: The FDOT has issued a PTGA (CSFA No. 55.004) reflecting their commitment
of funding to the above referenced project in the amount of $388,282 or 80% of
the eligible project costs, whichever is less for the T-Hangar Electrical
Improvements at LNA. Airport required local match of $97,071 is in the current
budget. This PTGA provides for the County to indemnify the FDOT to the extent
allowed by law and pursuant to the limitations of Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes, to the extent caused by the County's negligence, recklessness or
intentional wrongful misconduct. The contract with The Morganti Group, Inc. for
CM at Risk Services for Airport Improvements for the Department was approved by
the Board on January 15, 2019 (R2019-0042). The contract is for two years with
three one-year renewal options and is a task/work order based contract for CM
at Risk services for the Department. The Morganti Group, Inc. is a Danbury,
Connecticut, based firm; however, the work will be directly managed by their
southeast regional office in Palm Beach County. The contract value to date is
$14,094,802.82. Approval of Amendment No. 8 in the amount of $479,604 and 196 calendar
days will enable MGI to complete Work Order MC 02: T-Hangar Electrical Services
Modifications at LNA. In addition, approval of Amendment No. 8 provides for the
exercise of the third and final one-year renewal option for the continuation of
services provided under the CM at Risk Contract. A Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) goal of 12% was established for this contract. DBE
participation of this work order is 8% due to the limited opportunities for
trade participation. DBE participation for this contract to date is 32%.
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.

motion to adopt: a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving a
revised Schedule of Fees for the Department of Environmental Resources
Management (ERM), and repealing Resolutions R2009-2017 and R1994-1052. A number of fees to be charged for permit
approval, approval applications and related services that are provided for by the
Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) and the Palm Beach County Code are being
modified or eliminated. SUMMARY: The resolution
is an update of the existing Schedule of Fees (last adopted on November 17,
2009) to more closely reflect the costs of services provided by ERM. The fees
are modified to partially offset ERM administrative costs related to the review
and processing of ULDC required processes and for building permit plan
review. The resolution does not create
any new fees and eliminates three fees. Specifically, the equestrian use permit
fee, a fee for an additional vegetation inspection and the fee for File
Searches are being eliminated as each are no longer applicable to today’s
processes. In addition, ERM is including the Environmental Reviews
Section D.2. fees in its proposed Schedule of Fees that were previously
referenced in the Planning, Zoning and Building (PZB) Department Schedule of
Fees, Resolution R2008-1754, as amended. The fees provided for in the resolution are expected to generate an

motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, amending the official fee schedule as established
in Resolution R2008-1754, as amended, to modify fees due to recent Unified Land Development Code changes,
increase fees related to review of Comprehensive Plan (Plan) consistency and
applicable appeals, and eliminate Environmental Resources Management

is an update of the existing Fee Schedule to more closely reflect the costs of
services provided by the Planning, Zoning & Building Department (PZB) and recent revisions to the ULDC. This

adjusted as provided for in previous resolutions according to the Consumer
Price Index. No change to Building Permit fees is proposed in this item. In
addition, fees that were referenced in R2008-1754, as amended, for ERM are
being eliminated and ERM is including these fees in its proposed Schedule of
Fees. Unincorporated (SF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) award of $1,000,000 to SP Palm Beach LLC;
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 (HED) issued Request for Proposals HED.2022.5 (RFP) making up to
$1,000,000 in Federal HOME funding available for a Local Government Area of
Opportunity Funding (LGAOF) loan contribution to multi-family housing
developers seeking tax credits from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation
(FHFC) 9% Housing Credits Program. Per
FHFC rules, the LGAOF contribution may only be made to one project. A selection
committee consisting of three voting members met at a public meeting held on
November 3, 2022, and recommended funding of a $1,000,000 loan to SP Palm Beach
LLC, (an affiliate of Southport Development, Inc.) for Calusa Pointe, an
affordable rental development for the elderly to be located at the Southeast
intersection of State Road 80 and County Road 827, within the City of Belle
Glade. The project will consist of 110
one- and two-bedroom newly constructed apartments as follows: 12 units for 28%
of Area Median Income (AMI), and 98 units for 60% AMI. The project will include 12 HOME-assisted
units, all of which will be set aside for 28% AMI. The HOME-assisted units will
remain affordable for no less than 50 years. The total cost of development is
$32 million. The HOME award is contingent on FHFC approval of 9% Housing
Credits for Calusa Pointe, which will provide an estimated $22 million in tax
credit equity toward the project. If the 9% Housing Credits are not approved by
FHFC, the HOME award to SP Palm Beach LLC will be automatically cancelled and
the HOME funds will be reprogrammed. The Loan Agreement and related documents
pursuant to these HOME funds will be between the County and SP Palm Beach LLC
(and its respective successors and/or assigns). To facilitate project
implementation, staff requests authorization for the County Administrator or
designee to execute the Loan Agreement and related documents. These are
Federal HOME Program grant funds, which require a 25% local match provided by
State SHIP grant funds. District 6 (HJF)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
Request for Release of Funds and Certification (HUD Form 7015.15) on behalf
of the Palm Beach County Community Services Department (CSD) for activities
approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through
the Community Project Funding/ Congressionally Directed Spending Program (CPF).
SUMMARY: HUD awarded a $1,000,000 CPF grant to CSD to remodel the Health
Clinic at the Senator Philip D. Lewis Homeless Resource Center and convert it
into a medical respite facility with four to five beds for homeless
individuals. The CPF Program requires that an environmental review be performed
in accordance with Federal regulations at 24 CFR Part 58. The environmental review has been completed
by the Department of Housing and Economic Development and the County must now
provide HUD with a Request for Release of Funds and Certification (HUD Form
7015.15) for the project. The Certification affirms that procedures required by
24 CFR Part 58 have been followed, the activity did not require an
Environmental Impact Statement, and the County will comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act and other environmental laws as they relate to the
activity. A required Notice of Intent to
Request Release of Funds was published on November 20, 2022, and no public
comments were received during a 15-day comment period. Approval of the
certification will allow CSD to proceed with CPF activities that will shelter
homeless individuals with medical conditions. District 7 (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A)
a
sixth amendment to Development Agreement with The Related;
B) a fifth amendment
to Hotel Lease with CityPlace Hotel, LLC; and
C) Amended Easement
Agreement for Parking Spaces-B Deck Garage among CityPlace Retail, L.L.C.,
CityPlace Community Redevelopment District, as Grantors, and CityPlace Hotel,
LLC and Palm Beach County, as Grantees.
SUMMARY: On October 30, 2012, the Board of
County Commissioners (Board) approved the Development Agreement amongst the
County, The Related Companies, L.P. (Related) and CityPlace Hotel, LLC
(Developer) (R2013-0103), as amended, and the Hotel Lease between the County
and CityPlace Hotel, LLC (R2013-0104), as amended, to facilitate the
construction and operation of the Convention Center Hotel (Hotel). Pursuant to the third amendments to the
Development Agreement and Hotel Lease (R2015-1856 and R2015-1857,
respectively), the County agreed to defer Related and Developer’s obligation to
construct a parking garage pending completion of traffic circulation and
parking studies. In lieu of the parking garage, the Developer constructed a
surface lot accommodating 255 valet parking spaces adjacent to the Hotel and secured
use of 375 additional valet parking spaces at the B Deck Garage in City Place
through an Easement Agreement for Parking Spaces-B Deck Garage (R2015-1860). The
third amendments provided that the County would make a final determination, in
its sole discretion, on the Developer's obligations to construct the parking
garage once the studies were completed. While the studies have been completed,
Staff recommends postponement of the final determination on the construction of
the parking garage. The subject sixth amendment to Development Agreement and fifth
amendment to Hotel Lease memorializes said postponement. The Developer is currently in the process
of refinancing its mortgage and a closing date has not been scheduled as of the
date of drafting this agenda item. As such,
the financial institution information will be resolved on the Consent &
Subordination to Easement Agreement pending Board approval of this item. The
Developer has requested, and Staff recommends, a reduction of the 375 valet
parking spaces at the B Deck Garage to 100 valet parking spaces through
approval of the Amended Easement Agreement for Parking Spaces-B Deck Garage.
