PAGE ITEM
23 3C14 *REVISED SUMMARY / (ENG) / SUMMARY:
On April 8, 2025, the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) approved on
preliminary reading and permission to advertise for a June 3, 2025 Public
Hearing for final adoption, an Ordinance amending Palm Beach County (County)
Code Chapter 17, Article 1, Ordinance No. 95-23 reimposing the six (6) cent
local option fuel tax (Tax) upon every gallon of motor fuel and diesel fuel
sold in the County. The Ordinance amends
Ordinance No. 95-23 by relevying the Tax that expires on August 31, 2025. The Tax will be effective beginning September
1, 2025 through August 31, 2055. Section
336.025, Florida Statutes, authorizes the BCC to levy fuel taxes on the sale of
every gallon of motor fuel and diesel fuel sold in the County. Section 336.035, Florida Statutes, allows the
BCC to reimpose the Tax at the current rate, provided that the Tax is levied
before July 1 to be effective September 1 of the year of expiration, and a
redetermination of the method of distribution is made as provided in the
Statute. The ILA must be executed prior to June 1, 2025 by the BCC and enough
municipalities, which represent a majority of the population of the
incorporated area. The ILA must be
executed prior to June 1, 2025 by the BCC and enough municipalities, which
represent a majority of the population of the incorporated area. These 22 ILAs are in addition to the ILAs
with the City of Atlantis, the Town of Loxahatchee Groves, the Town of Juno
Beach, the Village of Wellington, and the City of South Bay that were approved
on April 8, 2025, and represent a 66.26% majority of the population of the incorporated
area. The ILA was prepared in
coordination with the League of Cities (League), reviewed by the Engineering
and Public Works Department (EPW), the Office of Financial Management and
Budget (OFMB), and the County Attorney’s Office. The League conducted outreach to all eligible
municipalities in the County for ILA execution and forwarded the ILAs to the
County for BCC approval. Countywide

37 3H2 *REVISED SUMMARY
(FDO) / Summary: At
the request of County
Commissioner Gregg K. Weiss and approval of
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) sitting in session on February 4, 2025,
staff was given direction to provide a plan to honor Mr. F. Martin “Marty”
Perry, the County’s first zoning attorney and well-known community leader, who
recently passed. Staff has deemed
conference room 2E-12 at the County’s 2300 Vista Center (the facility that
houses the County’s Planning, Zoning and Building Department Division)
as a fitting location to honor Mr. Perry’s legacy. Upon BCC approval, staff
will proceed with installation of the corresponding plaque renaming of the

along Palm Beach County (County) maintained road rights-of-way. Each entity is
expected to conduct litter removal activities at least four (4) times a year.
The County provides recognition signs for each entity at the beginning and end
of the adopted road segment, and picks up the litter bags. Each entity must pay
a fee to offset the County’s costs to install the signs and remove the
collected litter bags. The for-profit and not for-profit entities listed on
Sunbiz.org show Palm Beach County as their principal address. The fee is waived

to Quail Drive (Project); and
B)
approve a Budget Amendment
of $82,087 in the Capital Outlay Fund to recognize the increased grant funding
from the FDOT and appropriate it to the Project.
SUMMARY: In accordance with Countywide PPM CW-O-051,
all delegated contracts, agreements and grants must be submitted by the
initiating department as a receive and file agenda item. As authorized by Resolution R2024-0132, the
County Administrator delegated authority to the County Engineer, Deputy County
Engineer, and Assistant County Engineer on April 18, 2024, and the County
Engineer approved the Supplement on December 3, 2024. Final execution by FDOT was on March 3, 2025. The Supplement and Budget Amendment are for reconciling
the grant with the actual Project contract of $1,208,820, which was less than
the estimated Project cost of $1,362,333.
Because grant funding increased by $82,087, the local match decreased to
$125,733 which is 10.4% of the total cost.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for this grant
is 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction.

summary: The Community
Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act, as amended in 1998, requires the establishment
of a CAAB, which participates in the planning, implementation, and evaluation
of CSBG programs to serve low- income communities. The Community Action
Programs (CAPs) were created through 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 given communities. Per
Resolution R-2018-0372, adopted on April 10, 2018, amending Resolution
R-2014-0588, the CAAB is comprised of no more than 15 members, consisting of at
least one-third public officials, one-third private sector leaders, and
one-third low-income community members, who are selected through a democratic election process within the
targeted neighborhoods. The CAAB structure is defined by federal statute, known
as a tripartite board. The Florida
Department of Commerce (FDOC) is the primary conduit to receive and disperse
CSBG funds to the local CAP. The CAP provides services, assistance, and other
activities of sufficient scope and size to support low-income
individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County (County). This fosters
progress towards the elimination of poverty and its causes by developing
employment opportunities, improving human performance, motivation, and
productivity, and bettering the conditions under which people live, learn, and
work. Ms. Lewis, Ms. Resch, and
Ms. Wilkerson meet all applicable guidelines and requirements outlined
in the resolution. The diversity count for the 11 seats that are currently
filled is as follows: African-American: eight (8) (73%) and Caucasian: three

6. Summary: On
September 20, 2024, SEFBHN was awarded a $1,013,042 grant by HUD to provide
Permanent Supportive Housing to chronically homeless individuals. The grant was scheduled to begin November 1,
2024; however, SEFBHN was unable to implement the grant. On March 10, 2025,
SEFBHN requested that HUD transfer the grant to HSCAP so that HSCAP could
subcontract the grant to a qualified agency that could implement the grant and
provide the services. HUD required the
County to provide a letter agreeing to accept the transfer of the grant. Pursuant to Section 309 of the County
Administrative Code, the letter was signed by Mayor Maria Marino in order to
expedite the process. HUD then initiated the amendment to transfer the grant.
In accordance with Section 309, grants signed by the Mayor must be presented to
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for ratification at the first
subsequent BCC meeting. GGI has been providing services to individuals under
this contract since November 1, 2024. A total of 34 chronically homeless
individuals with disabilities will be provided with Permanent Supportive Housing
under this contract. A match of $253,261
is required. GGI will be responsible for the cash match and for documenting
it accordingly. Countywide (HH)

In March 2024, the Purchasing Department

local farmers (RFI 2024-002). The only application submitted was
from Tangelo. The RFI response confirmed that a sole-source contract for the
TSANSP was appropriate. The Project will
offer grocery and nutrition education services, which include monthly
home-delivered, culturally relevant healthy food boxes and prepared meals,
access to Tangelo’s online SNAP-approved grocery Marketplace, and educational
content to foster sustainable healthy food habits. All services are available via the Tangelo website or their mobile
application. The platform provides
personalized SNAP nutrition education, recipes, meal preparation guidance, and
budgeting tips to foster lasting lifestyle changes. A 30% Nutrition
Incentive is available when using SNAP-EBT benefits. Additionally, Palm Beach County
Food Bank will provide significant SNAP outreach and enrollment efforts. Tangelo will work to identify additional
County farmers to join their supply chain, providing fresh, local, healthy
food. These are County American Rescue Plan Act Replacement funds that do

(Verdex) establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in the amount of
$44,273,892 for the Vista Center Expansion (Building Division) project for a
period of 582 calendar days from notice to proceed. Summary: On July 11, 2023, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the CM at Risk Services contract (R2023-1020) with
Verdex for the Vista Center Expansion (Building Division) project. The existing
Vista Center office building is a 251,025 gross square foot, four (4) story,
multi-tenant building situated on approximately 12 acres of County-owned
property located at 2300 North Jog Road in the Vista Center Planned Industrial
Park Development (PIPD), West Palm Beach. The existing site additionally
supports a four (4) story parking structure containing 756 parking spaces,
mechanical support areas and 509 surface parking spaces. The Building Division
is currently located on the 1st floor of the existing Vista office building. As
a result of the Building Division’s increased workforce and its need for an
emergency control center, an expansion was deemed necessary in order to
properly support the Building Division’s operations. Amendment No.1 establishes
a GMP in the amount of $44,273,892 for the construction management services
necessary for the Vista Center Expansion (Building Division) project. The scope
of work includes, but is not limited to, the construction of a new two (2)
story, approximately 57,000 square feet, office building designed to expand the
operations of the Building Department. Additionally, a new three (3) story
parking garage will be built along with a redesign of the current parking and
driveway areas located north of the existing Vista Center building. The
expansion will support programs for Permit and Plan Review, Fire Plan Review,
Administration, and Inspectors. The first floor will feature a large media
meeting room, intended for staff training and serving as an emergency control
center. A pedestrian bridge will connect the new building to the existing
structure, fostering collaboration between the Building Division and departments
such as Planning, Zoning, Engineering, Environmental Resources Management
(ERM), and Traffic. The scope of work also includes the development of
additional parking for visitors, staff, and fleet vehicles adjacent to the
expansion. The CM will have 582 calendar days from notice to proceed to

a price preference if its bid is within 10% of the lowest non-small business
bid. However, on July 1, 2024, certain statutory changes took effect which
require that the sheltered market for projects less than $100,000 API be
removed. Therefore, the annual low voltage contract will have an API of a price preference where an SBE contractor
will be given a price preference if its bid is within 10% of the lowest
non-small business bid for each project. There is no SBE participation on this
Work Order. To date, the Contractor has no SBE participation. To date, the

Beach County (County), for Rehabilitation of a Federal Hurricane/Shore
Protection Project. Summary: The
Agreement is between the Department of the Army (Government) represented by the
District Commander, Jacksonville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
and the County. The Government and the County serve as the federal
sponsor and non-federal sponsor, respectively, for the Delray Beach Segment of
the Palm Beach County, Florida Shore Protection Project (Project), as
identified in the Project Partnership Agreement dated August 27, 2013
(R2013-1733) and last amended on October 14, 2022 (R2022-1125). Hurricane
Nicole made landfall in Florida on November 10, 2022, causing significant beach
erosion within the Project area in Delray Beach. The Agreement is provided by the USACE for recovery of those damages. The Government has authority pursuant to 33
U.S.C. 701n to assist in the repair and restoration of any federally authorized
hurricane or shore protective structure damaged or destroyed by wind, wave, or
water action of other than an ordinary nature. The Agreement provides 100% Federal cost share for Flood Control and
Coastal Emergency (FCCE) restoration of the federally authorized beach sand
template, approximately 450,000 cubic yards, within the Project area. The USACE
will directly contract construction of the Project using existing state and
federal permits. The Agreement contains indemnification provisions that differ
from that adopted for use by the County under PPM CW-F-049. Per the Agreement,
the County shall hold and save the Government free from damages arising from
the construction, operation and maintenance of the Rehabilitation Effort, the
Hurricane/Shore Protection Project, and any related betterments, except for
damages due to the fault or negligence of the Government or the Government’s
contractors. The Risk Management
Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the indemnification
requirements and advised staff accordingly. Given that the County does not hold
and save the Government free from damages due to the fault or negligence of the
Government, and taking into consideration that the Agreement is 100% federally
funded, staff recommends Board approval. There

Summary: In
2024, the Florida legislature passed House Bill 1365 into law, which prohibits
Florida's counties and municipalities from authorizing or otherwise allowing any
person to regularly engage in public camping or sleeping on public property. The law became effective October 1,
2024, and causes of action could be filed as of January 1, 2025. At its
September 24, 2024, Workshop, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) received
the Homeless Legislation Implementation Update from the Community Services
Department (CSD) and an overview of the House Bill 1365 Public Camping Bill
Community Response Plan (Plan). The BCC directed staff to engage with
municipalities on the implementation of the law. Subsequently, the City engaged
CSD staff to develop enhanced outreach services for persons experiencing
homelessness in the City under the Plan’s Unsheltered Residents strategic
priority. This Agreement, funded by the City, provides funding for two (2)
County Homeless Outreach Team (PBCHOT) positions that will provide HOS and
on-demand short-term emergency shelter, based on bed availability, in
collaboration with the City’s Community Engagement Unit Homeless Liaison
Officer and designated staff to persons experiencing homelessness. These
City-funded positions will last for the duration of the Agreement with the City
and will be eliminated if the funding is discontinued. The PBCHOT will provide services to locate,
identify, and reach out to unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness in the
City; connect them with emergency shelter, housing, or critical services,
including emergency health services, emergency mental health services,
mainstream resources, and assistance in obtaining documentation needed to

Jacobson, providing a cash grant in an amount not to exceed $1,900,000
over a ten (10) year period and an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption in an amount not to
exceed $400,000 over a ten (10) year period.
Finfrock is a design-build general contractor and precast concrete
manufacturer located in Belle Glade, Florida. The Agreement requires Finfrock to
make a minimum capital investment of $36,000,000 to purchase approximately 94
acres of land as well as to construct and equip a 140,000 square foot
manufacturing facility. Finfrock is required to create 200 new jobs over a ten
(10) year period with an annualized average wage of $38,000 excluding benefits
and a median wage of $33,000 excluding benefits and Finfrock to maintain the
new jobs for three (3) years from the date of creation. To date Finfrock has
created 51 new jobs. Additionally, Palm Beach County holds a letter of credit
as a form of performance security. The five (5) year economic impact is
estimated to be at least $242 million. As required under the County’s Economic
Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program implemented by the BCC through adoption
of Ordinance 2025-001, Finfrock has filed an application with the Property
Appraiser’s (PA) office, and the PA has issued a determination that the project
meets the requirements under Florida Statutes 196.012 for an Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption (attached as Exhibit “B” to the proposed Ordinance). This Ordinance is being presented to the BCC

September 14, 2021 (Agenda Item 6C-3), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approved a HOME award of $735,000 to CP Renaissance LLC (a subsidiary of
Neighborhood Renaissance, Inc.) to construct Coleman Park Renaissance
(Project), a 43-unit multi-family rental development located along North
Tamarind Avenue in West Palm Beach. The BCC also awarded CP Renaissance LLC
Impact Fee Affordable Housing Assistance Program (IFAHAP) funds of $152,174 on
June 14, 2022 (Agenda Item 3I-3) and an American Rescue Plan Act Replacement
Fund (ARPA-RF) award of $2,358,001 on January 10, 2023 (Agenda Item 5C-1).
Although the IFAHAP award was $152,174, the developer could only redeem $93,904
as the properties had existing credits that reduced the impact fees due. The
Project is under construction and approximately 50% complete. CP Renaissance
LLC is requesting an additional $751,076 of HOME funding due to unforeseen cost
increases including Florida Power and Light requirements to bury power lines
and install multiple transformers and an increase in overall construction
costs. The total project cost is $21,455,979 and proposed total Palm Beach
County (County) assistance would be $3,937,981 at a per unit County investment
of $91,581. The total County contribution would be 18% of the total project

of fees already paid; therefore, staff proposes allocation of HIP funds to
assist the construction of the Project. The property will be restricted to
remain affordable to individuals with incomes at or below 110% Area Median
Income (2024 Multifamily Income Limit & Rent for a Household of 1 is
$82,500 and $2,063 respectively) for no less than 50 years. The rent per unit
will not exceed 30% of the total individual income. These are Ad Valorem
funds, which require no local match.

motion to:
A) approve a Housing Initiative Program (HIP) funding in the amount of $1,250,000
to Legacy at 45th Street, LLC (Legacy) a wholly owned subsidiary of
The Spectra Organization, Inc., for the development of the Legacy at 45th

Agreement.
Summary: On October 18, 2022, the Palm
Beach County (County) Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved an American
Rescue Plan Act Replacement Fund (ARPA-RF) award for $5,500,000 for the
development of the Project. The Project entails construction of a 48 unit
multi-family rental development, which includes no fewer than 34
County-assisted units. Due to complications with the supplier/manufacturer,
substantial increasing costs of local labor and materials, increased modular
unit costs from new supplier/manufacturer, increased total development costs,
and other factors, Legacy has had to identify additional resources to complete
the Project. Other sources of development funding for the Project include loans
from the Palm Beach County Housing Authority (Spectra Loan 1 and Spectra Loan
2) and increased funding from the City of West Palm Beach (City). In an effort
to ease the issues associated with cash flow during the construction period,
the Housing Finance Authority has agreed to provide a bridge loan in the amount
of $3,900,000 during the construction process that will not be a permanent loan
on the Project. The $1,250,000 County HIP loan is seven (7) years interest-only
payments due years one (1) – seven (7) and a balloon payment at the end of
seven (7) years. Staff requested a
longer affordability period and Legacy has agreed to affordability in
perpetuity for all County-assisted units. The units are restricted to 44 units
at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) ($93,520 for a household of
four (4)), and four (4) units at or below 60% AMI ($70,140 for a household of
four (4)) as required by HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding from the
City. The total Project cost is $21,050,000 with proposed County assistance
totaling $6,750,000 at a per unit County investment of $198,529. Total County
investment for this Project is 32%. Funding sources for this

5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Revisions to the Palm Beach County (County)
Housing Bond Program Allocation Process (Process). SUMMARY: On October 3, 2023, the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Process for the Housing Bond Loan
Program (HBLP) (Agenda Item 5D-2). The Process included General Guidelines from
Resolution R2022-0626 and proposed funding criteria and processes including:
project requirements, loan term deed restrictions, project selection, credit
underwriting and compliance and monitoring requirements. Some of the proposed
revisions include, but are not limited to:
·
A
tiered system capping the HBLP funding amount in relation to total project
cost;
·
Limiting
the workforce housing rental development to no more than 110% Area Median
Income (AMI);
·
Limit
Workforce Housing rents to 90% of the published rent limit;
·
Providing
an exception for Workforce Housing projects receiving State Apartment Incentive
Loan (SAIL) funding to receive HBLP funds;
·
Allowing
For-Sale projects with fewer than 50 units to be underwritten internally; and
·
Adjusting
the maximum sale price of For-Sale units to 80% of the maximum purchase price
limit as determined by Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC).
Numerous meetings and discussions were held with stakeholders including
housing developers, financial institutions, the Economic Council of Palm Beach
County, the Housing Leadership Council of Palm Beach County and municipalities
to gather input for the development of the Process. Additionally, the proposed
changes were discussed at the January 28, 2025 BCC workshop meeting with the
BCC and other stakeholders and on April 8, 2025 as part of Agenda Item 5A-6,
the BCC discussed the for-sale strategies. Countywide (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) an emergency contract between the Palm Beach Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) and MV Transportation, Inc., (MV Transportation) with a
not-to-exceed amount of $25,125,993 for the period beginning retroactively on
May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, for the provision of Paratransit service
(Run Package A);
B) an emergency contract between the BCC and First Transit, Inc. (First
Transit), a subsidiary of Transdev North America, Inc., with a not-to-exceed
amount of $36,620,174 for the period beginning retroactively on May 1, 2025
through April 30, 2026, for the provision of Paratransit service (Run Package
B);
C) an emergency contract between the BCC and MV Transportation with a
not-to-exceed amount of $1,692,900 for the period beginning retroactively on
May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, for the provision of
Dial-A-Ride/Mobility-on-Demand (MOD) – Go Glades service; and
D) a Budget Transfer of $16,415,017 to
increase the Contractual Services Paratransit expenditure and decrease the
Operating Reserve.
Summary: On March 26, 2024, Palm Tran brought a five (5)-year contract for
paratransit/Go Glades services with First Transit to the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) for approval. The BCC directed staff to enter into a one
(1)-year contract with the existing contractors (MV Transportation and First
Transit) for the paratransit services and Go Glades service and prepare a new
Request for Proposal (RFP) for
these services. Palm Tran is requesting approval for an additional one (1)-year
for these emergency contracts to finalize and publish the RFP for services. Palm Tran was also directed to find a
facility for paratransit use and seek cost efficiencies in service delivery.
These additional one (1)-year
emergency contracts will allow Palm Tran to implement cost saving strategies
for service delivery and find a long-term solution for the paratransit
facility. These emergency contracts are intended to maintain critical
paratransit services until a new five (5)-year contract can be awarded. These
emergency Contracts represent a 2.39% increase or $1,483,405 over the previous
one (1)-year emergency contracts. A lapse in providing these contracted
services would be detrimental to the interests, health, safety, and welfare of
the County by reducing transportation services to vulnerable citizens. Countywide (MM)
