2. Summary: HIVCC establishes priorities for the allocation of Ryan White (RW) HIV/AIDS Program funds within the County; and develops a comprehensive plan for the organization and delivery of health services described in 42 U.S.C. § 300ff, et seq., that is compatible with any existing state or local plan regarding the provision of health services to individuals with HIV/AIDS disease. The United States Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), requires the County to maintain a planning council responsible for establishing priorities and allocating RW grant funding. The HIVCC is that Council. Federal law requires that the HIVCC composition reflect the demographics of individuals with HIV/AIDS in the County. At least 33% of its members must be consumers of RW services who are not affiliated with subrecipient service providers. The law also requires that the HIVCC represent designated areas, including health care providers, social service providers, community-based organizations, local public health agencies, non-elected community leaders, and grantees of Federal HIV programs. Per Resolution R2011-1560, the total membership for the HIVCC shall not exceed 33 At-Large members. The HIVCC recommends the following appointments: (1) Michelle Scott, who will complete the term of Denise Grigoriou; (2) Raymond Cortes, who will complete the term of Lysette Perez; and (3) Andinette A.

6. Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 13 to the Construction Management (CM) at Risk contract (R2016-0430) with Hedrick Brothers Construction Co. Inc. (Hedrick) for the Detention Facilities Project (Project) to retroactively extend the term of the contract from March 9, 2026 until the completion of all project phases. Summary: On April 5, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the CM at Risk contract with Hedrick for the Project. The Project included a five (5) year capital improvement program for the renewal/replacement of major building systems at the County’s detention facilities including the Main Detention Center (MDC), the Western Detention Center (WDC) and the Central Detention Center (CDC). The Project includes the renewal/replacement of the following major building systems at these detention facilities: mechanical, including heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); fire protection; plumbing and boilers; electrical; low voltage, including electronic security systems and fire alarm, security doors and hardware; roofing; weatherproofing and other similar improvements. On March 9, 2021, the BCC approved Amendment No. 6, which extended the contract an additional five (5) years. The County was unable to complete the Project within the initial five (5) year term of the contract, nor could it do so during the five (5) year extension due to unforeseen conditions discovered as the Project has progressed and due to PBSO operational challenges in vacating areas where construction is required to occur. Phase IV of the MDC project is currently in progress with construction expected to be complete in Spring of 2029. While phase V has not yet started, the anticipated scope of work for this phase will include major renovations to the intake/release areas and sally port drop off. The renovations will better facilitate efficient and safe operations for staff and inmates during the intake process. The budget for the Phase V renovations will be developed in conjunction with PBSO once the limits of construction and scope of work are defined. It is both cost and time effective to continue to retain Hedrick to complete the Project; therefore, the Facilities Development and Operations Department (FDO) is requesting authorization to retroactively extend the CM at Risk contract with Hedrick from March 9, 2026 until the final phase of the Project is complete. Amendment No. 13 extends the CM at Risk contract term and adds or updates standard County terms on construction contingency, interactions with County staff, disclosure of foreign gifts, and human trafficking affidavit. The CM at Risk contract was awarded under the prior Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance, and the SBE participation goal was 15% under the prior SBE program. Hedrick is not an SBE, however, they have partnered with Cooper Construction Management & Consulting, Inc., an SBE business for CM services in an amount not less than 15% of the construction management fee and is sharing in the CM earned overhead/profit.

The Office of Small Business Development has reviewed the existing SBE participation and approved this extension request under the existing contract terms. To date, the SBE participation for task authorizations, work orders and amendments issued under this CM Contract is 50.13%. Hedrick is a local business.

(aka Brown & Brown Public Sector), at a total cost not-to-exceed $14,384,408. Summary: The projected 2026-2027 excess insurance program renewal premiums reflect a total not-to-exceed cost of $14,384,408 which is a decrease of approximately 13.16% ($2,180,034) over the expiring total premium of $16,564,442. The excess insurance market remains stable and the County (through Brown & Brown) was successful in obtaining quotes which will reduce premiums, while increasing our wind coverage by $5,000,000 on the municipal property program and $11,250,000 on the Utilities property program. The County traditionally purchases coverage in accordance with industry recognized catastrophe modeling for a 100-year storm event probability (municipal) and a 250-year probability (utilities). The municipal program retains its $25 million maximum Named Windstorm deductible, a key coverage advantage. Negotiations with carriers continue regarding potential reductions in the percentage used for deductible calculations as well as rate guarantees for future years to hedge against adverse market and claims development. Our total insured values (TIV) increased to $3.2 billion dollars ($2.7B municipal and $500M utilities). Risk Management, in conjunction with Brown & Brown, has aggressively marketed our program to over 130 global insurance companies to ensure securing the best available rates and coverage. This included inviting underwriters from various property markets to visit Palm Beach County for a tour of our properties in July 2025. This allowed us to explain in detail what separates Palm Beach County from other risks they may insure and for them to see firsthand the quality of our program. The tour included discussions on our favorable loss history, the quality of our building codes and structures, our commitment to capital improvements, and our Comprehensive Disaster Management Program. In addition to the Municipal property and Utility property programs, there are also various ancillary insurance policies covering damage to County-owned property resulting from terrorism, boiler & machinery, crime/employee dishonesty, and cyber incidents. The insurance program renewal also includes $5 million of excess liability insurance, subject to a $500,000 Self-Insured Retention (SIR), and Excess workers’ compensation insurance covers injury costs in excess of $2.25 million per occurrence.

All state and federally mandated premium taxes, surcharges and assessments are included within the estimated renewal cost. Sufficient funds were budgeted and are available for this coverage. Countywide (JBR)

This PTGA amendment will become effective upon FDOT execution with an expiration date of April 30, 2026;

B) approve Amendment for the Extension of PTGA to request an extension to the grant expiration date from April 30, 2026 to April 30, 2027 to allow for the delivery of Paratransit Replacement Vehicles; and

C) approve Budget Amendment of $117,480 in Palm Tran’s Grant Fund 1341 to recognize the grant award.

Summary: On June 4, 2024, PTGA G3073 was approved by the BCC (R2024-0644) for a total project cost of $1,870,000. On September 30, 2025, PTGA G2T71 expired with an unobligated balance of $117,480. FDOT did not extend PTGA G2T71, however, it has reallocated these funds to PTGA G3073 and this Amendment reflects that allocation. Additionally, Palm Tran has placed purchase orders for Vehicle Replacements to be funded by this grant. However, due to delays on the fulfillment of these orders, Palm Tran anticipates the need to request an extension to the PTGA. This PTGA requires no County 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 FDOT and all of its officers, agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of the County’s non-compliance or performance of this 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 for this grant and advised staff accordingly. Given that liability is limited to County’s non-compliance or performance of this agreement and the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff recommends BCC approval.

Summary: These Budget Amendments and Transfers are necessary to adjust FY 2026 budgets to reflect differences between actual and estimated revenues and expenditures of FY 2025. These amendments adjust the balances brought forward, various revenue, expenditure, and reserve accounts to their audited balances. For the General Fund, this Amendment results in an increased fund balance of $61,192,597. This adjustment is a result of:

· $16,913,306 net increase in revenues, excess fees and commission refunds from Constitutional Officers and Judicial: Sheriff’s Office $8,281,959, Clerk and Comptroller $45,569, Supervisor of Elections $2,531,633, Tax Collector $4,622,203, Property Appraiser $871,642, Judicial $560,300;

B. PALM TRAN

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing the signing and submission of the Fiscal Year 2026-Fiscal Year 2027 (FY2026-FY2027) Section 5310 grant application in the amount of $1,275,405 with a required local match of $141,712 for a total project cost of $1,417,117, and the submission of supporting documents, and assurances to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT);

B) delegate authority to the County Administrator or Designee to sign and accept the resulting grant award letter with terms that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms, or conditions of the grant application and resolution authorizing the grant application’s signing and submission;

C) approve the purchase of paratransit vehicles from the FDOT TRIPS Contract, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the application and resulting Notice of Grant Award (NGA) allotted funds; and

D) delegate authority the County Administrator or designee to submit the Order Form for the FDOT TRIPS Contract to request purchase of the vehicles and expenditure of grant funds and local match pursuant to the resulting NGA.

Summary: Palm Tran is submitting an application for the acquisition of replacement paratransit vehicles at a total cost of $1,417,117. The vehicles being replaced have reached the end of their useful life. The grant requires a local match of $141,712 (10%) for the vehicles. The required match is included in Palm Tran’s Proposed FY 2027 budget. The application amount will cover the estimated cost to replace (13) vehicles. The actual award amount will be determined by funds available under Section 5310 after all applications have been reviewed by FDOT. 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 FDOT and all of its officers, agents, and employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of the County’s non-compliance or performance of this 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 for this grant and advised staff accordingly. Given that liability is limited to County’s non-compliance or performance of this agreement and the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff recommends BCC approval.

A. COMMUNITY SERVICES

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a Resolution regarding proposed changes to the Florida AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP); and

B) delegate authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute forms, certifications, contracts/agreements, and amendments thereto, with qualified pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, and/or pharmacies for the dispensing of 340B medications to eligible clients, at no cost to the County and within existing budgeted resources, that do not substantially change the scope of work, or the terms and conditions.

Summary: ADAP is a statewide payer-of-last-resort program administered by the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) that provides access to life-saving medications for low-income persons with HIV. In February 2026, FDOH published rule changes to ADAP effective March 1, 2026 that would a) reduce income eligibility from 400% to 130% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL); b) eliminate health insurance premium assistance; c) impose formulary restrictions on Descovy, and remove Biktarvy, the most commonly prescribed single-tablet HIV treatment regimen; and d) discontinue reciprocal eligibility recognition between FDOH and Florida Counties. Of the 1,792 Palm Beach County (PBC) residents currently receiving ADAP assistance, 1,568 individuals (87.5%) will be affected by these changes. Without action, the County’s HIV system of care is projected to experience an estimated $22.2 million annual negative fiscal impact, which would significantly undermine progress toward ending the HIV epidemic by disrupting treatment access and viral suppression. At its February 23, 2026 meeting, the HIV Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Council (HIV CARE Council) took action to advance a proposed resolution to the PBC Board of County Commissioners (BCC) urging the state of Florida, through FDOH, to maintain current ADAP eligibility criteria and program benefits; the Florida legislature to appropriate additional funding to ADAP to sustain existing eligibility criteria and program benefits; and the United States Congress to increase funding to the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program to support state-administered ADAPs.

Summary: This is an update from the County Engineer to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in response to the Board Directive of July 8, 2025 to complete a School Zone Study determining if extending the School Zone for WMS on Lyons Road, north to 47^th Place South in front of DJGHS and continuing it east on 47^th Place is warranted. There are two other locations within Palm Beach County’s (County) traffic control jurisdiction where a high school is in close proximity to a middle school or an elementary school. These schools have existing School Zones that will be reevaluated to see if any changes are needed. The School Zone Study did not document any speeding concerns on Lyons Road outside of the WMS School Zone near DJGHS. However, due to students walking along Lyons Road to nearby residential neighborhoods adjacent to DJGHS, the County Engineer, in accordance with Resolution R87-1029 and in compliance with Section 316.1895, Florida Statutes, extended the WMS School Zone on Lyons Road north to 47^th Place South in front of DJGHS and continued it east on 47^th Place South. The BCC also gave direction to study the feasibility of creating a bicycle barrier along Lyons Road for WMS and a pedestrian bridge over the Lake Worth Drainage District’s L-14 Canal between WMS and DJGHS. The feasibility study, completed in February 2026, evaluated pathway improvements along the east side of Lyons Road from Rosemont Drive to 47th Place South with two options. District 6 (YBH)

B) authorize staff to submit the approved census tracts to the Governor of the State of Florida for consideration and nomination to the United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury) due to the State by April 1, 2026.

Summary: The purpose of this agenda item is to approve recommended census tracts within Palm Beach County for designation under Opportunity Zones 2.0, the next phase of the federal Opportunity Zone Program. Investors may receive capital gains tax deferral and other tax benefits when investing through Qualified Opportunity Funds in designated Opportunity Zones. Staff has identified 78 census tracts within Palm Beach County that meet the threshold requirements for Opportunity Zones 2.0. Eligibility is based on federal information methodology, a census tract qualifies if its Median Family Income (MFI) is at or below 70% of the area Median Family Income, or if the tract’s poverty rate is 20% or higher, based on U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey data (2020-2024). Pursuant to federal statute, the Governor may nominate no more than 25% of a state’s eligible census tracts for designation as Opportunity Zones. Staff has coordinated with municipalities throughout Palm Beach County, the Palm Beach County League of Cities, nonprofit and for-profit partners, the real estate community, the Business Development Board, and other key economic development stakeholders through meetings, briefings, and presentations. This collaborative effort was undertaken to gather local input and identify census tracts that reflect economic need, redevelopment potential, and long-term community benefit. Staff recommends 20 of 78 eligible census tracts within Palm Beach County be considered for nomination by the Governor of the State of Florida. The Governor must nominate census tracts to the Treasury no later than July 1, 2026. Countywide (DB)

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 are the most knowledgeable and best equipped to address poverty-related challenges in their given communities. Per Resolution R2018-0372, adopted on April 10, 2018, amending Resolution R2014-0588, the CAAB is comprised of no more than 15 members, consisting of at least one-third public officials or their representatives appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC); one-third private sector leaders recommended by the CAAB, and one-third low-income community members selected through a democratic selection process within the targeted neighborhoods. The CAAB’s 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. Maisonet, Ms. Lythgoe, and Mr. Glassman met all applicable guidelines and requirements outlined in the Resolution. Ms. Maisonet is the CEO and Founder of Community Health Worker on Demand, Ms. Lythgoe is a Consulting Security Engineer at Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions, and Mr. Glassman is a Finance Professor at the University of Miami.
