4. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a Non-Federal Reimbursable Agreement
#AJW-FN-ESA-26-SO-007630 (Agreement) between the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and Palm Beach County (County/Sponsor) to support the
completion of the Tower Siting Assessment for the new FAA Contract Tower/ Air
Traffic Control Tower (FCT/ATCT) at the North Palm Beach County General
Aviation Airport (F45) in the amount of $77,922;

Summary: This Agreement provides for
the completion the Tower Siting Assessment by the FAA in support of the

project-specific assessments for external entities, the FAA requires a
reimbursable agreement to recover the cost of the work. Under the Agreement, the FAA

4. SUMMARY
(cont’d.): The
County will participate in the siting process in
accordance with the Order and will provide available data to the FAA in support
of its efforts. The Agreement requires the County to prepay the entire
estimated cost of the Tower Siting Assessment in the amount of $77,922, which
will be held as a non-interest bearing deposit and
must be received by the FAA prior to implementing the Tower Siting Assessment. Pursuant to the Palm Beach County
Administrative Code, Section 305.02, Advance Payments, advance payments are
generally prohibited except in certain circumstances. One exception is
when the payment is deemed necessary for County business. Since this agreement
cannot be performed without an advance payment by the County to the FAA, the
advance payment is necessary for County business.The Agreement contains broader indemnification by the County than
that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The Agreement requires the
County to indemnify the FAA and its officers, agents, and employees for all
claims of any nature arising out of the performances of this Agreement. The
Risk Management Department and County Attorney's Office have reviewed the indemnification
requirements for the Agreement and advised staff accordingly. Given that
liability is limited to claims arising
out of the performance of this Agreement, staff recommends Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approval. The Agreement was provided to the Director of the
Department of Airports (Department) for execution; therefore, this item
provides for a delegation of authority to the County Administrator or designee,
who will in this case be the Director of the Department. Countywide (AH)

motion to:
A) approve an additional payment of $134,492.25 under the Utility Work by
Highway Contractor Agreement (At Utility Expense) (UWHCA) with Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) dated September 19, 2023 (R2023-1310); and
B) delegate authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to approve
the increased utility relocation costs up to a cumulative project cost of
$900,000.
Summary: The FDOT proposes
improvements to SR-806/Atlantic Avenue from west of SR-7/US 441 to east of
Lyons Road. These improvements necessitate the relocation of an existing 8-inch
water main, an existing 12-inch force main and an existing 4-inch force main on
Atlantic Avenue. In order to include the utility work within the FDOT road
improvement project and to provide FDOT the authorization to undertake the
relocation of the aforementioned utilities, FDOT required the County to enter
into a UWHCA. The UWHCA was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
on September 19, 2023, (R2023-1310) for the amount of $461,757.28 based on
initial cost estimate. The BCC authorized the County Administrator or designee
to approve any increase in utility relocation costs up to a cumulative project
cost of $650,000. During construction, the 4-inch force main was discovered to
be in conflict with the realignment of the Lake Worth Drainage District L-34
Canal. The utility relocation drawing designed by the FDOT’s Consultant did not
account for the relocation of the 4-inch force main. The relocation of the
4-inch force main has increased the overall cost of the UWHCA. FDOT requires
PBCWUD to provide a check for the additional construction cost. District 5

recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) of palm beach county, florida, COMPlYING
with Section 402.306(1)(b), Florida Statues, requiring annual affirmation BY
THE BCC if it chooses to designate a local licensing agency to license child
care facilities in the county, AND continuing the approval of chapter 59-1698,
special act, laws of florida. Summary: Section 402.306, Florida Statutes,
provides each county in Florida with the choice of contracting with the Florida
Department of Children and Families (DCF) to license child
care facilities or to appoint a different agency as a Local Licensing
Agency (LLA). In 1959, the Legislature passed Chapter 59-1698 Special Act in
Palm Beach County, which designates the BCC and the DOH as the LLA and governs
the BCC’s and DOH’s oversight of child care facilities
and family day care homes in Palm Beach County. To appoint a
LLA, a County must have child care regulations that
meet or exceed the state’s minimum standards. The BCC has adopted such
standards through the Palm Beach County Rules and Regulations governing child care facilities and family day care homes. Under
Section 402.307, Florida Statutes, these standards meet or exceed the state
minimums.
The proposed resolution includes the
following:
1. Designation of Local Child Care
Licensing Agency - Palm
Beach County designates the Department of Health, Palm Beach County as the
County’s local childcare licensing agency for the licensing of child care facilities in accordance with statutory
requirements;
2. Ongoing Effect of Resolution - The resolution states that it will remain in
effect on a continuing basis and will only require amendment if, in any future
year, there are changes to the County’s designation of the local licensing
agency or if other statutory or policy changes necessitate revisions; and
3. Agenda Submission Requirement - The resolution includes the new requirement
that the Department of Health must submit an agenda item no later than ninety
(90) days prior to July 1 of each year. This ensures the Board has sufficient
time to review the designation and make any necessary changes prior to the July
1 annual affirmation deadline required by statute. Countywide (RS)

West) Secondary Service Provider Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity (COPCN) to revise its service area to “patients requiring transport
to or from HCA hospitals and HCA hospital based off campus emergency
departments located within Palm Beach County”, for a period of six (6) months,
from June 1, 2026 through December 1, 2026, and
C)
delegate authority to the County Administrator or designee, at the

1. SUMMARY (cont’d.): The existing HCA
Florida Palms West COPCN limits their services to HCA Florida Palms West
patients needing transports between HCA Florida Palms
West and other medical facilities. The
modification request would expand this authority to include patients requiring
transport to and/or from HCA hospitals and HCA hospital based off campus
emergency departments located within Palm Beach County. The EMS Ordinance
Administrator’s responsibilities include reviewing the application for
modification of the COPCN, obtaining verification that the applicant meets
applicable EMS laws, considering the need for the proposed service, and
preparing a report with recommendations for the EMS Advisory Council
(Council). The EMS Ordinance Administrator’s
consideration of the modification request and Extraordinary Circumstances was
based primarily on data presented by HCA Florida Palms West demonstrating the
requested services address rare but critical situations where immediate patient
movement is necessary to protect life, health, and safety, and ensures patient
continuity of care while qualified hospital-based transport personnel and
equipment are already on site and capable of immediate transport. The EMS Ordinance Administrators report recommending
approval of the modification request was submitted to the Council for their
review and recommendation. On March 19,
2026, the Council reviewed the EMS Ordinance Administrator’s report on the
application and heard an oral presentation from HCA Florida Palms West. The Council voted (12 yes 0 no) to deny the
requested modification to HCA Florida Palms West. Countywide (SB)

and replaces both of the prior agreements. The new contract which provides the
terms and conditions under which Elite Medical Specialists, LLC provides
medical director services to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR) includes
Medical Director services for Fire Rescue Ocean Rescue as part of PBCFR. The

Medical Specialists LLC, which include the requirements for additional physicians to serve as Associate Medical
Directors whose services include training classes to the Paramedics and EMT’s,
time spent in the field for supervision/observation of skill levels, and
availability of 24-hour emergency consultation. Staff is recommending approval

1. SUMMARY
(cont’d.): The contractor
is specially qualified in that it has contracted with the County since 2021
providing 24/7 Medical Director services including being responsible for
approving all clinical protocols and ensuring the department is properly
educated on how to implement them. Over this five (5)-year period, the Medical
Director team has conducted weekly ride times with EMS Captains, as well as
intentionally trained and mentored EMS Captains to function as clinical leaders
operating under their supervision. This consistent, hands-on collaboration has
expanded their knowledge base in prehospital medicine, strengthened protocol
compliance, and enhanced real-time clinical decision-making in the field.
Additionally, there are current
protocol-specific initiatives underway under the existing Medical Director’s
contract. A change in Medical Director during active research and protocol
rollout could compromise the integrity, consistency, and long-term viability of
these initiatives. Operationally, a transition in Medical Director can
temporarily disrupt service delivery. Training requirements pull frontline
personnel out of service for classroom and skills education, requiring staffing
adjustments and careful coordination to maintain response readiness. More
importantly, a disruption caused by transitioning to a new provider would
effectively reset years of structured education, mentorship, clinical
development, and research collaboration that have been intentionally built into
PBCFR’s EMS leadership model. The new contract also includes the addition
of medical director services relating to Urban Search and Rescue
(USAR), and requires Associate Medical Directors
who are qualified to potentially serve
as Medical Team Manager on an USAR Type III Task Force,
which would require a separate contract. The current Medical Director
and Associate Medical Directors are already trained, regularly work with the
PBCFR USAR team, and have invested significant time in training and operational
integration. Continuing to use the
current Medical Director avoids removing a new provider from their existing
responsibilities to complete the required USAR training under the contract. Countywide (SB)

1. SUMMARY: On May 6, 2025, the BCC awarded Emergency
Contracts to MV
Transportation and First Transit to continue
providing Paratransit services while staff prepared a Request for Proposals
(RFP). Then, on August 19, 2025, the BCC directed Palm Tran to return at a
future date to present a new Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for Palm Tran
Connection Countywide Paratransit services. These one (1)-year Amendments are
intended to maintain critical Paratransit services until a new five (5)-year contract
can be awarded. We estimate the ITN
recommendations to be presented to the BCC in December 2026. The not to exceed amount(s) are: MV
Transportation (Run Package A) at $50,777,828; First Transit (Run Package B) at
$77,808,348.35; and MV Transportation (MOD Go Glades) at $4,327,031.37 all over
a two (2)-year term covering the period of May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2027.
These amendments also provide additional funding for services provided from May
1, 2025 through April 30, 2026. Both vendors will
operate out of Palm Tran’s new operating facility located at 1200 S Congress,
Palm Springs, and have reduced their fixed costs accordingly. The lease
agreement for this facility was approved by the BCC (R2025-0517) at $2,065,000
annually, with a 3% annual increase over an eight (8)-year term. Countywide (MMM)
