A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the exchange of 1.649 acres of County-owned land in Gardens North County District Park (District Park) in Palm Beach Gardens for 1.722 acres of land owned by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), without charge and without reservation of phosphate, mineral, metals, and petroleum rights, pursuant to Section 125.38, Florida Statutes;

 

B) accept a Quit Claim Deed from FDOT to Palm Beach County (County) conveying 1.722 acres of land, without charge and without reservation of phosphate, mineral, metals, and petroleum rights;

 

C) approve a County Deed to FDOT, conveying 1.649-acres of land, without charge and without reservation of phosphate, mineral, metals and petroleum rights;

 

D) approve a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement with the City of Palm Beach Gardens (City) modifying the legal description of the District Park to be consistent with the land exchange;

 

E) approve an Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation Easement of 1.649 acre strip of land along the eastern portion of the Conservation Easement area modifying the legal description of the District Park to be consistent with the land exchange;

 

F) approve a Temporary Construction Easement in favor of FDOT for the interchange lane at Military Trail South and Interstate 95; and

 

G) approve a Subordination of Easement Interest to FDOT subordinating a portion of the easement to grant all the rights necessary to certify the right of way for the FDOT construction project. 

 

Summary: FDOT desires to expand the deceleration lane off of Southbound I-95 at the Military Trail South exit. The project requires a strip of land along the eastern portion of the District Park to complete the expansion.  Although the District Park property is owned by the County, it is the subject of a Lease Agreement (R2018-122) between the County and the City and a Conservation Easement (R2010-2141) in favor of the City.  FDOT has requested 1.649 acres of the District Park property in exchange for 1.722 acres of FDOT property which would be incorporated into the District Park. The City approved the land swap between the County and FDOT by passing City Resolution 1, 2024.  Amendment No. 2 to the Lease Agreement and the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation Easement between the City and the County modify the legal description in both documents to release the 1.649-acre County-owned portion and add the 1.722-acre FDOT-owned portion.  The District Park property is also subject to a Grant of Easements (R2000-0560) with the property owner to the north, which grant mutual rights to install utilities within the easement areas as defined in the Grant of Easements.

63                    5E2                 A Subordination of Easement Interest is required for FDOT to move forward 64 online                                               with its expansion.  In addition, to begin construction, FDOT requires a

Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) to tie in (sloping and grading) to the remaining District Park Property. The TCE terminates upon completion of the project or December 31, 2034, whichever is earlier and the Subordination of Easement allows the County to locate any future facilities onto public right-of-way or to construct facilities on the subordinated property subject to FDOT’s review and approval. The Quit Claim Deed, the County Deed, the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation Easement and Subordination of Easement Interest will be recorded to provide public notice of the land exchange.  FDOT will execute the Subordination of Easement prior to finalizing the land exchange.  Staff will complete its due diligence review of the property prior to finalizing the land exchange. There are no costs associated with the approval of this agenda item. (Property & Real Estate Management) District 1   (HJF)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Change Order No. 9 to the contract with Community Asphalt Corporation (CAC) dated February 6, 2018 (R2018-0139) (Contract) in the amount of $933,867.11 and a time extension of 277 days for the Australian Avenue and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard Intersection Improvements (Project).  SUMMARY:  Per PPM CW-F-050, the total of Change Order No. 9 exceeds the threshold of $100,000 and allowable time extensions relating to staff approvals of change orders to contracts and requires approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).  Approval of this final change order, Change Order No. 9, will compensate CAC for costs associated with maintaining the Project while procuring a specialized de-watering permit from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) due to an unforeseen groundwater contamination source discovered during construction; and for other unforeseen issues that developed in the field, as further described below.  The Project was shut down for two years during the permit application process with the SFWMD at no fault of CAC.  This shutdown caused CAC to incur additional costs for illegal dumping removal, asphalt repairs, mowing, traffic control device maintenance, and stormwater pollution prevention maintenance. Change Order No. 9 includes direct and indirect costs for differing site conditions, modification of underground drainage, conflicts with water main and force main, plan revisions, adjustment of water main and force main tie-in locations, removal of unsuitable material, and adjustments to valve boxes.

C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS (cont’d.)

 

1.         SUMMARY (cont’d.): Additionally, Change Order No. 9 includes the restoration of Australian Avenue, which was damaged due to a City of West Palm Beach (City) underground water main break. Upon investigation, it was determined that CAC was not at fault for the break and the cause was beyond their control. The City will reimburse Palm Beach County (County) the amount of $117,851.93 for the costs to repair the City’s facilities.  In accordance with the General Provisions of the Contract, CAC requested an equitable adjustment of compensation and time on August 31, 2023, and certifies under oath and in writing that the request is made in good faith; that supportive data provided is accurate and complete; and that the amount accurately reflects the County’s responsibility. The Contract was approved on February 6, 2018 for the amount of $2,457,741.50.  The total Contract amount, including this Change Order and previous change orders, is $3,812,962.27.  Work under the Contract was completed on January 10, 2022.  Due to multiple management changes at CAC, Change Order No. 9 is now being finalized.  This agenda item is a companion to Agenda Item 3-C-4 of this May 14, 2024 BCC meeting, for an amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with the City for joint participation and project funding for construction of utility adjustments, as well as approval of a budget amendment for the Project.

C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS (cont’d.)

 

1.         SUMMARY (cont’d.): The contract was approved prior to the effective date of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance and pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance at the time.  The SBE participation goal for all contracts was 15%.  CAC committed to 8.6% SBE participation.  There is no SBE participation for this change order.  CAC’s cumulative SBE participation to date, including this change order, is .34%.  CAC is a non-SBE, Palm Beach County-based company. They were unable to fulfill their SBE participation commitment because they had to utilize non-SBE subcontractors to complete the Change Order work, due to the absence of any available SBE companies that could perform the required specialized underground work.  District 7 (YBH)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Supplement No. 1 (Supplement) to Consultant Service Authorization No. 7 (CSA) dated January 24, 2024, under the Annual Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) Services Contract dated July 13, 2021 (R2021-0882) (Contract) with Mehta and Associates, Inc. (MAI) in the amount of $1,496,533.50 for CEI services for Seminole Pratt Whitney Road from Orange Boulevard to Northlake Boulevard, Project numbers 1997511D and 1997512A3 (Project).  SUMMARY:  Approval of this Supplement will provide the CEI services necessary during the construction of the Project. On November 6, 2019 the Goal Setting Committee applied Affirmative Procurement Initiatives of a 20% minimum mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation and an SBE evaluation preference. MAI agreed to 20% SBE participation for the Contract. MAI agreed to 20.36% SBE participation for this Supplement. Their cumulative SBE participation to date for the Contract including this supplement is 14.92%. MAI has an office located in Palm Beach County (County). This Project is included in the Five-Year Road Program.  District 6 (YBH)

3.         CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

 

C.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS (cont’d.)

 

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Seacoast Inc. (SCI) dated May 3, 2022 (R2022-0389) (Contract) for a time extension of 314 days to the Donald Ross Road Bascule Bridge (Project). SUMMARY:  Per PPM CW-F-050, the time extension in Change Order No. 1 exceeds allowed staff approval and requires approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).  The original scope of this Project is for replacement of the hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical equipment within the existing bridge structure.  The 314 day contract time extension is due to electrical control panel procurement delays. After consulting with Palm Beach County’s (County) Bridge Section and in order to maintain continuity with all County draw bridges, it was determined that Alan Bradley control panels as specified in the construction plans, could not be substituted with items from another distributor. The start of construction was postponed until all materials were procured to avoid any disruptions to residents and motorists.  Construction started on February 19, 2024.  The Contract was approved on May 3, 2022, for the amount of $5,719,660.  The total Contract amount, including this Change Order is $5,719,660. With the approval of this Change Order, the new revised completion date will be September 5, 2024.  On August 30, 2021, the Office of Equal Business Opportunity (OEBO) granted a waiver of the Affirmative Procurement Initiative requirements because sufficient qualified Small Minority Women Business Enterprises (S/M/WBE) providing the goods or services required by the contract were unavailable in the County, despite every reasonable effort to locate them.  District 1 (YBH)

 

4.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A)  receive and file an Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement  with  the City of West Palm Beach (City) for joint participation and project funding for construction of utility adjustments dated April 10, 2018 (R2018-0367) for Australian Avenue and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard (Project); and

 

B)  approve a Budget Amendment of $114,113 in the Road Impact Fee Fund – Zone 2 to recognize reimbursement funding from the City and appropriate it to the Project.

 

SUMMARY: This Amendment is being submitted to the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller in accordance with Countywide PPM CW-O-051. The Amendment was approved by the County Engineer as a delegated authority in accordance with Palm Beach County Administrative Code Section 404.00. The budget amendment is necessary to reflect the funding from the City for the construction to be incorporated into the County’s Project. This item is a companion item to the Project’s final Change Order No. 9 (Agenda Item 3-C-1 also on May 14, 2024). These are the last two agenda items necessary to close out the Project.

B)  delegate to the County Administrator or designee the signatory authority for any necessary documents related to AHCA’s licensing for Adult Day Care, that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms, or conditions of the application.

 

Summary: DSVS is a service provider for Adult Day Care services licensed through AHCA. ACHA re-credentialing verification requires ongoing monitoring and maintenance of providers’ records. AHCA is responsible for the licensure and regulation of health facilities, including adult day cares. Adult day cares are required to be licensed by AHCA with renewal every two (2) years through a licensing application process. The licensing renewals enable DSVS to continue to operate the adult day cares. DSVS received notification on February 22, 2024 that AHCA will be implementing Mandatory Online Renewals effective March 5, 2024, in accordance with Rule 59A-35.060, F.A.C., which states all renewal applicants must apply online by submitting the online licensure application form, fees, and supporting documents electronically through AHCA’s Online Portal. DSVS will need extended time to prepare the new on-line application set-up process for the County. The attached AHCA Health Care Licensing Application for Renewal is required sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of current licenses. The emergency signature process was utilized because there was insufficient time to submit these agreements through the regular agenda process or the new on-line portal at this time. There is no cost to Palm Beach County as County-operated centers applying for licensure are exempt from the payment of license fees. On July 11, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the County Administrator, or designee, to execute renewal applications for this purpose. In accordance with County PPM CW-O-051, all delegated contracts, agreements, and grants must be submitted by the initiating Department as a receive and file agenda item.

SUMMARY: The Community Action Block Grant (CSBG) agreement requires the establishment of a CAAB which is to participate in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of CSBG programs to serve low-income communities. Community Action Agencies (CAA) were created in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 on the premise that local citizens were the most knowledgeable and best equipped to address problems of poverty in their communities. Each CAA is governed by a board of no more than 15 directors and/or their designees. Membership consists of one-third elected public officials or their representatives, one-third private sector members recommended by the CAAB, and one-third low-income representatives who are selected through a democratic process within the targeted neighborhoods. This board structure is defined by federal statute and is known as a tripartite board. Board Members will fully participate and provide voice for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) programs created to serve low-income communities. Florida Department of Commerce, is the primary conduit to receive and disperse these federal funds to the local agency. The Agency then provides services, assistance, and other activities of sufficient scope and size to low-income individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County to give promise of progress toward elimination of poverty or a cause or causes of poverty through developing employment opportunities, improving human performance, motivation, and productivity, or bettering the conditions under which people live, learn, and work. Per Resolution No. R-2018-0372, adopted April 10, 2018, amending Resolution No. R-2014-0588.  Ms. Anastasi will complete the “private-sector finance” term of Alesia Keller who resigned from the board. Ms. Anastasi meets all applicable guidelines and requirements outlined in the resolution.

The current Code was revised in 2018 (Ordinance No. 2018-022) to incorporate the necessary references to the then recently adopted Equal Business Opportunity program (Ordinance No. 2018-021).  Although it was adopted in 2015, many of the provisions of the current Code originate in its 2005 version and warrant revisions to reflect current industry practices and market conditions.  Approximately five years ago, County staff started working on proposed revisions to the Code. The proposed revisions were presented to the Board of County Commissioners (Board) during a Workshop meeting held on February 27, 2024. Following discussion by the Board of the proposed revisions, staff was directed to 1) consider a modified approach to the proposed protest bond provisions, 2) return with recommendations on means to accelerate processing of agenda items to be considered by the Board, and 3) proceed to preliminary reading of the proposed ordinance. Preliminary reading of the proposed ordinance took place on April 9, 2024 at which time staff was given permission to advertise for public hearing. (FDO Admin/Purchasing) Countywide (MWJ/AH)

A.        AIRPORTS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A) The assignment of the Contract for the Operation and Maintenance of Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) at the Palm Beach International Airport (Contract No. 23-015/MD; R2023-0219) (Contract) from John Bean Technologies Corporation to Oshkosh AeroTech, LLC (Oshkosh), formerly known as JBT AeroTech  Corporation; and

 

B) First Amendment (Amendment) to the Contract, increasing the total contract amount   by $2,928,626.63 to provide for maintenance and repair of the BHS at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), including replacement of two baggage claim carousel units.

 

SUMMARY:  On February 7, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Contract for the operation, maintenance and repair of the BHS and related systems at PBI with John Bean Technologies Corporation.  John Bean Technologies Corporation entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with JBT AeroTech Corporation on August 1, 2023, which provided for the assignment of the Contract to JBT AeroTech Corporation.  On February 16, 2024, JBT AeroTech Corporation changed its name to Oshkosh AeroTech, LLC. This item provides for the County’s approval of the assignment as required by the Contract. The original contract amount for the period commencing on February 28, 2023, and ending on February 27, 2025, was $4,417,698.07. The Amendment will increase the total authorized contract amount to $7,346,324.70.  As a result of recent unanticipated equipment failures, the Department of Airports is recommending replacement of two baggage claim carousel units to ensure a sufficient number of functional baggage claim carousel units remain available for use by the airlines to deliver passenger baggage. Approval of the Amendment will provide funding for the replacement of damaged baggage claim carousel units and to complete other necessary repairs, maintenance and improvements to the BHS and related systems, including the purchase of replacement parts and associated equipment. The Contract required an update to the controls that sort, scan, encode, transport and deliver baggage to be completed in the first contract year. The Amendment also extends the date for completion of the project to a future contract year to prioritize completion of work to the baggage claim carousel units.

A.        AIRPORTS (cont’d.)

 

1.         SUMMARY (cont’d.):  Airlines utilizing the BHS at PBI pay for the full cost of the system through rates and charges established annually in accordance with the Signatory Airline Agreement (R2019-1155). Oshkosh’s principal place of business is Orlando, Florida. The Office of Equal Business Opportunity applied a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Evaluation Preference for SBE Participation up to 15% as the Affirmative Procurement Initiative on July 6, 2022.  Oshkosh committed to 17.60% SBE Participation. The SBE participation to date is 13.52%.  Pursuant to changes to Chapter 332, Florida Statutes, effective as of July 1, 2023, a governing body of a medium hub commercial service airport may not approve purchases of contractual services in excess of $1,000,000 provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, on a consent agenda. The Amendment exceeds the threshold amount and must be approved on the regular agenda.  Countywide (AH)

C.        PALM TRAN

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: The Labor Management Agreement (LMA) between Palm Tran, Inc. and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), as joint employer, and the Service Employees International Union, Florida Public Services Union, CtW, CLC (SEIU) representing 44 regular full-time, non-professional, supervisory employees of Palm Tran, Inc. for the three (3) year period of October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026.  SUMMARY: On May 5, 2023 Palm Tran began contract negotiations with SEIU for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of employment for 44 Palm Tran employees (Thirty (30) Operations Supervisors and ten (10) Maintenance Supervisors.  On March 6, 2024, Palm Tran and SEIU tentatively agreed to the terms and conditions of the LMA.  The Agreement was ratified by SEIU on March 26, 2024.  Of the 47 Articles included in the LMA, 12 were amended during the negotiation process.  In general, changes to the non-economic work rules will allow for increased efficiency and effectiveness of operations. The negotiated wage article established fair wages by effectively addressing wage compression between supervisors and their direct subordinate staff. The new wage article addresses compression by allowing operation supervisors to be paid three quarters of one percentage point above the top wage bus operators and one half of one percentage point above the maintenance technicians. This will provide an 11.95% increase over three (3) years of the agreement for Operations Supervisors and an 8.25% increase for Maintenance Supervisors. This represents a wage increase over the term of the agreement of $299,579, and an increase in uniforms of $22,950 for a total increase of $322,529.  Countywide (MM)

SUMMARY: The Florida Legislature enacted Florida Statute Section 553.73, mandating a statewide (FBC) and allowing local governments to adopt their own Administrative Chapter of the FBC. This proposed ordinance adopts an updated Chapter 1 “Scope and Administration” of the FBC 8th Edition (2023)  applicable to the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, and in those municipalities having an Interlocal Agreement for the provision of County plan review and inspection services.  As in past code updates, this Administrative Chapter 1 is based on the language adopted by the Florida Building Commission, along with model language developed by the Building Officials Association of Florida (BOAF), which was further refined by the Palm Beach County Building Code Advisory Board (BCAB) and adapted specifically to align with  Palm Beach County regulations.  Figures 1609.3 (1), (2), (3) and (4) have been modified pursuant to changes in the FBC 8th Edition (2023), in accordance with Florida Statute Section 553.73 and Section 1609.3 of the FBC, and changes in the reference standard ASCE-7-2022. This section provides for local governments to clarify and establish specific wind speed/wind borne debris lines using physical landmarks, whenever possible. This proposed ordinance also adopts FBC 8th Edition (2023) Appendix Q of the FBC-Residential volume allowing the construction of tiny houses. This proposed ordinance also repeals and re-adopts an updated FBC 8th Edition (2023) Appendix F of the FBC-Plumbing volume regulating new irrigation systems helping to conserve water and protect the public water supply. These Construction codes shall apply to all irrigation systems used on residential and commercial landscape areas, excluding use of reclaimed waters. They address the design requirements, water quality, materials, installation, inspection and testing for such systems. These construction codes do not apply to irrigation systems for golf courses, nurseries, greenhouses, or agricultural production systems. Unincorporated (RM)

E.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:

 

A)  an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of a 8.53 acre parcel of vacant land located on Bee Line Highway north of Indiantown Road from Ramon Vilarino for $344,151 plus closing, title insurance and recording costs estimated to be $2,292; and

 

B) a Memorandum of Agreement with Ramon Vilarino to be recorded in the public records to provide notice of this Agreement.

 

Summary:  On November 2, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a Fiscal Strategy for the spending of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which included an allocation of $4,000,000 for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands. The parcel owned by Ramon Vilarino (Vilarino Parcel) is a road front parcel located in an area known as Palm Beach Heights (part of the Pal-Mar Ecosite). The Pal-Mar Ecosite is part of a large ecological greenway that stretches from just west of the Atlantic Ocean to just east of Lake Okeechobee.  The area provides habitat for a wide variety of native plants and animals and it is part of a hydrologically significant region that includes the headwaters of the federally designated Wild and Scenic Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River. Hence its value as environmentally sensitive land. Appraisals were obtained from Anderson & Carr, Inc. and M.R. Ford & Associates, Inc. who assigned a $35,000 and $40,922 per acre value for road frontage parcels in Palm Beach Heights, respectively. Callaway & Price, Inc. reviewed the appraisals and concluded a reasonable aggregate value of $40,346 per acre for road frontage Palm Beach Heights parcels, which is the basis of the purchase price.  The Agreement allow for the County’s due diligence review of the parcel within 45 days of Board approval.  The County will pay title insurance policy premium, closing and recording costs estimated to be $2,292 for the Vilarino parcel. The Environmental Resources and Management (ERM) Department will perform a pre-acquisition environmental assessment for the parcel prior to closing.  A boundary survey will not be obtained for the parcel due to its environmentally sensitive and wet nature.  ERM will be responsible for the administration of the parcel.  All costs related to the acquisition will be paid from existing funds received from the ARPA Response Replacement Fund. These are County ARPA Response Replacement funds that do not require a local match. This acquisition must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners).  (Property & Real Estate Management) District 1 (HJF)

E.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS (cont’d.)

 

2.         Summary: FDOT desires to expand the deceleration lane off of Southbound I-95 at the Military Trail South exit. The project requires a strip of land along the eastern portion of the District Park to complete the expansion.  Although the District Park property is owned by the County, it is the subject of a Lease Agreement (R2018-122) between the County and the City and a Conservation Easement (R2010-2141) in favor of the City.  FDOT has requested 1.649 acres of the District Park property in exchange for 1.722 acres of FDOT property which would be incorporated into the District Park. The City approved the land swap between the County and FDOT by passing City Resolution 1, 2024.  Amendment No. 2 to the Lease Agreement and the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation Easement between the City and the County modify the legal description in both documents to release the 1.649-acre County-owned portion and add the 1.722-acre FDOT-owned portion.  The District Park property is also subject to a Grant of Easements (R2000-0560) with the property owner to the north, which grant mutual rights to install utilities within the easement areas as defined in the Grant of Easements.  A Subordination of Easement Interest is required for FDOT to move forward with its expansion.  In addition, to begin construction, FDOT requires a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) to tie in (sloping and grading) to the remaining District Park Property. The TCE terminates upon completion of the project or December 31, 2034, whichever is earlier and the Subordination of Easement allows the County to locate any future facilities onto public right-of-way or to construct facilities on the subordinated property subject to FDOT’s review and approval. The Quit Claim Deed, the County Deed, the Amendment and Partial Release of Conservation Easement and Subordination of Easement Interest will be recorded to provide public notice of the land exchange.  FDOT will execute the Subordination of Easement prior to finalizing the land exchange.  Staff will complete its due diligence review of the property prior to finalizing the land exchange. There are no costs associated with the approval of this agenda item. (Property & Real Estate Management) District 1   (HJF)

SUMMARY: The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) agreement requires the establishment of a CAAB and that CAAB participate in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of CSBG programs to serve low-income communities.  Community Action Agencies (CAA) were created in the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 on the premise that local citizens were the most knowledgeable and best equipped to address problems of poverty in their communities. Each CAA is governed by a board of directors consisting of at least one-third low-income community members, one-third public officials, and up to one-third private sector leaders. This board structure is defined by federal statute and is known as a tripartite board.  Florida Department of Commerce is the primary conduit to receive and disperse these federal funds to the local agency. The Agency provides services, assistance, and other activities of sufficient scope and size to give promise of progress toward elimination of poverty or a cause or causes of poverty through developing employment opportunities, improving human performance, motivation, and productivity, or bettering the conditions under which people live, learn, and work to low-income individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County. Per Resolution No. R2018-0372, adopted April 10, 2018, amending Resolution R2014-0588. These candidates meet all applicable guidelines and requirements outlined in the resolution. The diversity count for the 12 seats that are currently filled is African-American: 8 (66%); Caucasian: 3 (25%); and Hispanic-American: 1 (9%). The gender ratio (female: male) is 7:5. Ms. Burns is an African-American female; Ms. Ayala is a Hispanic-American female; Mr. Leslie is a Caucasian male; and Mr. Maples is an African-American male. Staff is addressing the need to increase diversity within our Board and will continue to encourage this to expand this board’s diversity.  (Community Action Program) Countywide (HH)
