1. SUMMARY (cont’d.): The CRS program allows participating communities to achieve significant discounts for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policyholders on flood insurance premiums for their properties. CRS ratings rank from 1 (highest rating/discount) to 10 (lowest rating/discount). A Class 5 rating allows policyholders in the County to receive discounts of up to 25% from the standard NFIP premiums. A Class 4 rating (or higher) would achieve discounts of 30% (or more). Working in coordination with the County Emergency Management Division CRS Coordinator, as well as other County Agencies, County staff work continuously to maintain and improve the County’s CRS rating and achieve greater discounts for County property owners.

Oyer Jr. Park Boat Channel, and the Intracoastal Waterway immediately adjacent to the Inlet. Beach-compatible material removed from the three (3) dredge sites will be placed below mean low water in the nearshore areas of Ocean Ridge Hammock Park and Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park. Three (3) sealed bids were received by the Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) on September 9, 2024. Atlantic & Gulf Dredging & Marine, LLC, an Indiantown, Florida Company, was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

The Project is funded by the combination of Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Agreement No. PB-22-05 (R2022-1166) providing $728,300, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Agreement No. PB-22-PB9 (R2021-1251) providing $939,751, and the Palm Beach County Beach Improvement Fund providing the remaining $97,699.

Summary: On March 25, 2024, Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Mayor authorized the Department of Public Safety to electronically submit a grant application to the U.S. DOJ, OVW, for the FY2024 Grant to ICJR Program. The grant application was for a continuation grant for a 36-month period beginning October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027 in the amount of $1,200,000. The emergency signature process was used because DOJ was only accepting applications electronically and the deadline was rapidly approaching. On August 20, 2024, the BCC approved and ratified the Mayor’s signature on the grant application (R2024-0984). The R2024-0984 authorized the County Administrator or designee to sign future grant applications, execute grant agreements, grant adjustment modifications, contracts and contract amendments. The Public Safety Department’s application under the funding opportunity entitled 2024 OVW Fiscal Year 2024 Grants to Improve the Criminal Justice Response (ICJR) Program (CFDA# 16.590) was approved on September 20, 2024. The purpose of this ICJR continuation grant is to elevate victim safety and ensure offender accountability through the enhancement of our Coordinated Community Response (CCR) to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in Palm Beach County. The CCR will provide consistent response protocols, comprehensive services and referrals for victims and accountability for offenders. Project partners are the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) and Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse (AVDA). The outcomes of this project will include comprehensive victim safety and support measures, improved options to address offender accountability, multi-sector collaboration, training and capacity building, enriched cultural sensitivity and diversity, and policy and systemic changes. Approximately 60 percent of the project activities will address domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. The grant provides funds for contractual services, office supplies, travel and training. Additionally, the continuation grant will fund two (2) existing positions in the Public Safety Department, a grant coordinator and a victim advocate. These positions will be deleted from the Public Safety Department complement if the funding is discontinued. No County matching funds are required for this grant. Countywide (RS)

Summary: The PSL Express route started service on September 23 2024, traveling north-south via I-95, providing two (2) morning and two (2) evening peak-time trips between West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie. The PSL Express is connecting riders to major employment destinations and activity centers in Palm Beach County. The service utilizes coach-style buses to transport riders along the designated routes. These vehicles are currently leased for the start of this pilot. The leasing and operating assistance costs are 100% grant funded by FDOT, and these amendments provide additional funding for the second year of the agreements. FDOT has committed to funding this project for several years after the completion of a successful pilot phase. Palm Tran will continue to collaborate with FDOT and the St. Lucie County/Area Regional Transit for service continuation, as this is a key project identified in their Transit Development Plan (TDP). The PTGA Amendments do not require a local match. The grant requires broader indemnification by the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The grant requires the County and its officers, agents, or employees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the State of Florida, FDOT, including FDOT’s officers and employees, from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful misconduct of the County and persons employed or utilized by the County in the performance of this Grant Agreement. The indemnification obligation must also be passed on to contractors and/or consultants. The Risk Management Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the indemnification requirements of this grant. Given that liability is limited to the County’s non-compliance or performance of this agreement and the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff recommends BCC approval.

During the January 30, 2024 BCC Workshop, Human Resources provided to the BCC a report wherein they reviewed the personnel files of the predecessors of current contractual staff in an effort to recapture the performance appraisal process previously utilized. Human Resources also performed benchmark surveys with various counties, municipalities and other industry professional organizations in an effort to capture additional options for consideration. At the conclusion of the presentation, it was determined more information needed to be gathered to allow the BCC opportunity to develop the most appropriate evaluation tool. This task coincided with additional efforts by the BCC to review and consider an Organizational Review and Assessment. The BCC directed staff to work with the Vice Mayor's Office to develop the tool. Areas to be evaluated would include how staff interacts with the BCC, and how residents are being heard. Additionally, a 360 Workforce Analysis would be programed in the future. Countywide (DO)
