3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL C.
ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS 1.
Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the City of Riviera Beach (City) to repeal and replace Interlocal Agreement R78-79, which provided for traffic control
jurisdiction within the City by Palm Beach County (County), and was approved
by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on January 24, 1978. SUMMARY:
Section 316.006(2) (a), Florida Statutes, vests municipalities with traffic control jurisdiction over all
streets and highways located within their boundaries, except state roads, and provides that a municipality may, by interlocal agreement with a county,
agree to transfer
traffic regulatory authority
(Authority) over areas within the municipality to the county.
On January 24, 1978, the County and the City entered into
Interlocal Agreement R78-79 wherein the City
transferred certain traffic control functions and duties to the County over
certain signalized intersections and roads. The City now agrees to repeal and
replace Interlocal Agreement R78-79 with the Agreement to transfer Authority
over all County maintained thoroughfare roadways and certain signalized
intersections within the Citys municipal boundaries to the County,
as may be amended, and to outline certain operations and maintenance duties
retained by the City. District 7 (YBH) A) an Adopt-A-Road Agreement with Regina Bell,
dated July 9, 2026, for N Congress Avenue from Palm Beach Lakes
Boulevard to Presidential Way; and B) an Adopt-A-Road Agreement with Sara Jo Unger, dated July 9, 2026, for Lyons
Road from Lantana Road to 47th Place South. 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. The Adopt-A-Road Program allows entities to perform
litter removal 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 Countys
costs to install the signs and remove the collected litter bags. Countywide (YBH)

CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL C.
ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS (contd.) 3.
Staff recommends motion to: A) adopt a Resolution approving the Standard Grant Agreement (Agreement) with the State of Florida Department
of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the construction of the Country Club
Acres Stormwater Improvements (Project); B) approve the Agreement, retroactive to July 1, 2025, for FDEP to provide a state
funded grant in the amount of $1,400,000 for the construction of the Project with an expiration
date of June 30, 2028; C) adopt a Resolution delegating authority to the County Administrator or designee
to sign all additional forms, certifications, contracts/agreements, amendments, and any other necessary
documents related to the Project that do not substantially change the scope of
work, terms or conditions of the Agreement; and D) approve a Budget Amendment
of $1,400,000 in the Transportation Improvement Fund to recognize funding from the FDEP and
appropriate it to the Project. SUMMARY: Approval of the Agreement,
delegation of authority, and Budget Amendment will allow Palm Beach County (County) to receive a Resilient Florida Grant of $1,400,000 for the Project
with a current estimated construction cost of $3,347,000. Commencement of the Agreement
is retroactive to July 1, 2025, which is the date that the
funding became available. The Project will construct stormwater improvements to
improve drainage in Country Club Acres. The
local match is $1,947,000 which is 58% of the
estimated Project
cost. The Catalog of State Financial Assistance (CSFA)
number for this grant is 37.098 Resilient Florida Programs. This Project
is included in the
Five-Year Road Program. District
5 (YBH)

March 1, 2025 through February
28, 2026, into the current budget
period of March 1, 2026 through February

from budget period
March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026, into the current budget period of March 1, 2026 through
February 28, 2027, for GY 2026, for a total grant award amount of $2,438,682 to support efforts focused on reducing new HIV/AIDS infections in the United
States by 90% by 2030; and C) approve a Budget Amendment of $650,736 in Ryan White Program/MAI/EHE Funds to
align with actual grant awards. SUMMARY:
On July 16, 2026, HHS HRSA issued a NOA authorizing the carryover of $217,393 in
unobligated funds from GY 2025 to GY 2026, for a total grant award amount of $7,730,909. Carryover amounts vary from year to year based on unobligated
funds remaining from the previous GY. This grant allows the Community
Services Department (CSD) to continue providing essential medical and support
services to Palm Beach County (County) residents with HIV/AIDS. Services
provided under the Grant include medical case management, medical care,
pharmaceutical assistance, oral health care, legal support services, outpatient
ambulatory services, health insurance premium assistance, and food bank /home-delivered meal services. During GY 2025, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Part A & MAI program served 2,992 clients, achieving a 96% rate of clients
engaged in care, a 93% retention in care rate, and an 88% viral suppression rate. On July 23, 2026, HHS HRSA issued a NOA authorizing the carryover of $433,343
in unobligated funds from GY 2025 to GY 2026, for a total grant award amount of $2,438,682, for the EHE: A Plan for America.
Carryover amounts vary from year to year based on funds that were left over from the prior GY.
3.
CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL E.
COMMUNITY SERVICES (contd.) 1.
SUMMARY (contd):
To support
the goal of ending the epidemic, the County will use
the award to provide Rapid Entry to Care (REC) services and Health Insurance
Premium Assistance (HIPS). Recent changes to the Florida AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP) have eliminated support for health insurance premiums, affecting
1,568 people with HIV/AIDS in the County. Additional EHE grant funds will be allocated
to ensure continuity of care for disenrolled ADAP members. In GY 2025,
the EHE program served 812 clients, with an 89% retention in care rate and a
70% viral suppression rate, advancing our collective goal to end HIV by 2030. No County match funds required; however, the
Grant requires Maintenance of Effort (MOE). The HRSA's MOE requirement is a
statutory provision mandating that grant recipients sustain, or increase, their
non-federal funding for award-related activities each fiscal year. This means organizations must ensure their financial contributions from sources other
than federal grants remain at least equal to those provided in the prior year,
thereby demonstrating ongoing local commitment and eligibility for continued
HRSA support. Accordingly, the County agrees
to maintain local expenditures for HIV/AIDS
related core medical and support services. (RS)
3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL E. COMMUNITY SERVICES (contd.) 2.
Staff recommends motion to approve: a Budget Amendment in the Opioid Settlement Fund 1490 in the amount of
$851,486 to recognize additional opioid settlement revenue received. SUMMARY: Under the Florida Opioid
Allocation and Statewide Response Agreement
(Statewide Agreement), Palm Beach County (County)
is required to report all opioid-related settlement funds it receives
and use those funds
in accordance with the allowable purposes and restrictions established by the
Statewide Agreement. The additional revenue will be incorporated into the
Countys Opioid Settlement Fund categorical expenditure plan, which was
approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on October 22, 2024. It
will support eligible opioid abatement strategies and initiatives included
in the Countys Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder Plan
2024 (Plan 2024). Countywide (RS) 3.
Staff recommends motion to approve: the reappointment of one (1)
new at-large member to the
Community Action Advisory Board (CAAB),
for
the term of October 6, 2026 through September 30, 2029: Seat No | Nominee | Seat Requirement | Nominated By | 2 | Angela Burns | Public Sector | Commissioner Sachs | | | | Commissioner Weiss |
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. Pursuant to Resolutions R2018-0372 and R2014-0588, the CAAB is composed of up to 15 members
and is organized as a federally required tripartite board. The membership
includes at least one-third public officials appointed by the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC), at least one-third private sector representatives recommended
by the CAAB, and at least one-third low-income community representatives selected through a democratic process within the targeted
neighborhoods.
3.
CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL E.
COMMUNITY SERVICES (contd.) 3.
SUMMARY (contd.): 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). These efforts
foster 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. Burns is a Commissioner for the City of Delray and
has expressed an interest in continuing to serve as a member
of the CAAB. Currently, 13 of the 15 seats on the CAAB are filled.

Staff recommends motion to receive and file: an Agreement for Provision of Financial Assistance with Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc (GGI) for the Fiscal Year (FY)
2026 New Avenues Permanent Supportive Housing Gap Funding Agreement
(Agreement), for the period retroactive to February 1, 2026
through September 30, 2026, in an amount not to exceed $400,000, to ensure

Staff recommends motion to approve: a Use of Facility Agreement (UFA) for Government Entities with the City of Riviera Beach (Riviera Beach),
at no cost to Palm Beach County (County), for a five
(5) year period from October 5, 2026 through October
4, 2031, to provide a congregate meal site for seniors at the Lindsay Davis
Center. SUMMARY: The Division of
Senior and Veteran Services (DSVS) receives federal funds from the Older Americans
Act (OAA) to provide congregate meal sites. The above-referenced UFA enables DSVS to operate a congregate meal site at no cost for facility
space and energy usage. Riviera Beach will recruit volunteers to operate the
site, and DSVS will provide training
for the volunteers. Meals and related food services
and supplies will be provided
by the County through its designated food service vendor,
subject to the availability of funds. Riviera
Beach will serve approximately 42 seniors,
providing approximately 9,753 lunch meals annually. The estimated total cost of meals
is $55,397 and is funded under OAA in the amount of $49,857
(90%) and $5,540 (10%) in
County match, which is included in the current budget. DSVS is responsible for
providing services north of Hypoluxo

Staff recommends motion to: A) approve a Data Sharing Agreement (Agreement) with the Southeast Florida
Behavioral Health Network
(SEFBHN), effective for three (3) years upon approval
by both parties, allowing for the matching
and sharing of limited, consented client-level information for data integration to improve care
coordination of safety net services in Palm Beach County (County), at no cost
to the County; and B) delegate authority to the County Administrator or designee to execute additional Data Sharing agreements with multiple systems
of care entities/agencies, and any related documents
or forms associated therewith, that do not substantially change the scope of services or the terms and conditions of the
Agreement. SUMMARY: The County will use the CARISK
data that will be integrated into the Community Services Department (CSD) and the Criminal Justice
Commissions data warehouses using
the Online System
for Community Access
to Resources and Social
Services (OSCARSS) and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data to
improve care coordination for clients
across systems of care, including behavioral health, housing, re-entry, economic
mobility and jail/prison data. The integrated data will enhance coordination of behavioral health
and related support
services for shared program participants, reduce duplicative administrative processes, lessen
the burden on clients in
maintaining service eligibility, improve service delivery and resource utilization, and strengthen collaboration between the County and SEFBHN.

Staff recommends motion to approve: the reappointment of three (3) members
to the Veteran Services Advisory Board (VSAB), for a term of October 6, 2026 through

Commissioner Powell | 2 | Michael Durkee | Financial Assistance | Commissioner Marino Commissioner Weiss | | | | Commissioner Powell | 4 | Melva Harris-Rozier | Support Services | Commissioner Weiss | | | | Commissioner Powell |
SUMMARY:
The VSAB is focused on assessing the needs of veterans in Palm Beach County (County) and providing
more efficient coordination among service providers to address service gaps and identified needs. On August
22, 2023, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) established the VSAB via Resolution R2023-1162. The total
membership for VSAB consists of no more than 11 At-Large members, representing both public
and private sector organizations whose
mission is to assist veterans and
their families. Members must have knowledge of at least one (1) component of
the support services available to assist veterans and their dependents. Members
serve staggered terms of three (3) years, with a limit

provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 2-443 of the Countys
Code of Ethics. Currently, seven (7) of the 11 seats are filled. Countywide (RS)
3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL E. COMMUNITY SERVICES (contd.) 8.
Staff recommends motion
to approve: the reappointment of two (2) members to the
Palm Beach County (County) HIV Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency
Act Council (HIVCC), for the term of October 6, 2026
through October 5, 2029: Seat No. | Reappointments | Recommended By | 2 | Kristen Harrington | HIV CARE Council | 21 | Cecil Smith | HIV CARE Council |
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 planning councils 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,

amending Resolution R2020-1017, providing for clarification of
delegation of authority for modifications to existing grant agreements; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: On August 25, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved R2020-1017,
authorizing the County Administrator or designee, which in this case is the Director of the Department of Airports, to execute Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) aviation
grant applications and agreements
as well as certain amendments
and modifications to the grant agreements. As the full authority

Administrator or designee, this
Resolution affirms that such authority necessarily extends to amendments
providing for adjustments to grant funding amounts and allocations,
modifications to project descriptions, and substitution with updated grant
forms as required by the administering agency.
In practice, grant
amendments serve as routine
updates to existing awards, typically issued to add funding or refine project descriptions,
thereby avoiding the need for a new grant application and reducing the time and effort
required by the administering agency
to issue a new grant. Countywide (SB)

On May 12, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved two (2) purchase and sale agreements (PSAs) for the acquisition of oceanfront property
(two (2) parcels totaling 5.29 acres). The Project consists of the
development of this oceanfront property to create a public access beach park located at 4705 South Ocean Boulevard in Highland Beach. The proposal
for a public access beach
park has been the subject of legal actions in three (3) instances over the past several
decades. On May 18, 2010, the County and the Town of Highland Beach (Town)
entered into a stipulated settlement agreement (SSA) leading to the dismissal of the then legal action
between the Town and the County whereby
the legality of some of the conditions of the Development
Order issued by the Town were being
challenged. Under the SSA, the County
is required to construct the Project in compliance with a Development Order approved
by the Town, which includes 43 conditions of approval. Through the SSA, the County and the Town agreed that the development of the Project
would be postponed for a period of ten (10) years with the County
having, at its sole discretion, the right to extend the postponement for two (2)
additional periods of five (5) years each for a maximum postponement of up to 20 years. On October 22, 2019, the County notified the Town that it was exercising

Staff recommends motion to approve: a First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with the Town of Ocean Ridge
(Town) to provide radio equipment maintenance services for the period November
1, 2026 through October 31, 2031
with one (1) renewal option, for a period of five (5) years. SUMMARY: Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) (R2021-1427) establishes the terms and conditions under which the Town receives
radio equipment maintenance services from Palm Beach County (County), and it expires on October 31, 2026. The Agreement provides
for two (2) additional five (5) year
renewal options which require the approval of both parties. The Town has
approved a renewal, pending approval by the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC). The terms
of the Agreement are standard, and the maintenance rates are consistent with those being charged to
County Departments. In the event that the County must
outsource labor, a separate labor rate is provided to cover the cost of the
contract labor. The rates may be
adjusted annually
with notification by June 1st (effective the following October
1st) at the Countys sole discretion, but in no event shall
the Towns fee schedule
exceed the fee schedule applied to the County departments. This First Amendment, updates Notices, Non-Discrimination, and E-Verify provisions. It also adds standard

Accessibility. Countywide (RS) 3.
Staff recommends motion to approve: a Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement (R2016-1487) with the City
of Delray Beach (City) to extend the term of Agreement allowing use of the Countys
microwave system to transport radio signals
for the period of October 17, 2026 to October 16,

Staff recommends motion to: A) receive and file Contractual Purchase
Order (CPO) (PR942812) for $500,000 for contractual Adult Reentry Services
from the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) for the service period of July
1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; B) approve a Budget Amendment of
$375,000 in the Justice Service Grant Fund to adjust the budget to the actual
CPO amount; C) approve the following contracts to
provide adult reentry, case management, and support

of $646,802; and D) delegate authority to the County Administrator
or designee to execute amendments and administrative documents associated with
the above contracts that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms
or conditions of the contracts. SUMMARY: Palm Beach Countys (PBC) Public Safety Department Division of Justice
Services contracts with providers to coordinate reentry services
to those returning to PBC from incarceration. Providers are competitively solicited and selected for a two (2) year period
through a competitive procurement process, although
funding is allocated on an annual basis.
3. CONSENT AGENDA
APPROVAL X. PUBLIC SAFETY
(contd.) 4.
SUMMARY (contd.): For Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2027, TLP and the RB were the two (2) selected
agencies to receive funding specifically for pre- and post-release case management
and client support services. The State of Florida FY 20262027 General
Appropriations Act provided
$500,000 in non-recurring general revenue funds to the PBC
Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) for Adult Reentry
Services in the form of a CPO. This funding supports the Provider
contracts, who serve returning residents who are released
from FDC facilities and return to Palm Beach County. Approximately
586 adults have been served by the Countys Reentry Program in FY 2026.
This includes 21 pre-release new enrollments at Sago Palm and 185 post-release
new enrollments. The CPO contains broader indemnification by the County than
that approved by PPM CW-F-049.The CPO requires the County to indemnify and save
harmless the Department of Corrections and its employees
from liability of any nature or kind, including cost and expenses for or on account of any copyrighted, patented, or unpatented
invention, process, or article manufactured or supplied by the County. Additionally, the Business Associate Agreement (BAA) requires the County to be liable
for, and agrees to be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless the Department, its employees, agents, officers, and assigns from any
and all claims, suits, judgments, or damages including court costs and attorneys fees arising out or in connection
with any non-permitted or prohibited Use or Disclosure of PHI or other breach
of this Agreement, whether intentional, negligent or by omission, by the County,
or any sub-contractor of County, or agent, person or entity under the control or direction
of the County. This indemnification
by the County includes any claims brought under Title 42 USC §1983, the Civil
Rights Act. The Risk Management Department and County Attorneys Office have
reviewed the indemnification requirements for the CPO and advised staff accordingly. Given that the County will not be manufacturing or supplying any copyrighted, patented,
or unpatented inventions, processes, or articles as a
result of the CPO; the CPO is the result of a legislative appropriation; and the BAA passes down to the CPOs subrecipients, which execute BAAs indemnifying the County, staff recommends BCC approval. In addition, to the FY 2027 General
Appropriations Act, these contracts are also funded through ad valorem
funds and Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funding from the Department of
Justice. Palm Beach County is the recipient of funding from state and federal
levels, the providers are sub-recipients receiving a sub-award. Historically, there are significant
delays or possible denial of application for State and at time Federal JAG grant funds, however, on October 19, 2021; the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved
continuing contracts/interlocal agreements with agencies for reentry services. No Matching Funds are required. Countywide

Palm Beach County
Public Safety Departments Division of 911 Program
Services was awarded a grant (Catalog of State Financial Assistance #72.003) from
the Florida Emergency Communications Board (FECB) and DMS under the 911 State
Grant Program as authorized under Florida Statutes
365.173 in the amount of $478,900 for a period July 17, 2026
through July 16, 2029, to implement the RapidDeploy Tactical Mapping and Analytics Project (RapidDeploy) which is part of an existing service agreement with AT&T. RapidDeploy is a unique cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
platform that assists
public safety agencies
in reducing response times, improving situational awareness, call processing times,
resource performance, and
data analytics reporting when responding to time-critical incidents. Through a
partnership with AT&T, the platform is interoperable to the existing Call
Handling Equipment at the Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAPs)
and will provide
a common mapping
product for real-time situational awareness in daily operations and large-scale
incidents and emergencies. This Agreement was executed in accordance with R2026-0705
dated June 9, 2026 which authorized the County Administrator or designee to
accept, approve, execute and submit, electronically or otherwise, on the
Countys behalf, the grant award, representations, certifications,
acknowledgements, assurances, reports, standard forms and documents,
reimbursement requests, amendments, time frame changes, and other necessary
documents that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms, or
conditions of the Agreement. The Agreement includes non-standard indemnification
provisions that differ from that adopted for use by
the County under PPM #CW-F-049.The Risk Management
Department and County Attorneys Office
have reviewed the non-standard provisions and advised staff accordingly. Subject to the limitation of Section
768.28, Florida Statutes, the Agreement requires the County to hold the State harmless against claims
by third parties arising from performance under this Agreement; and
requires the Countys contractors or subcontractors to indemnify, hold harmless
and defend the State against all claims to the extent allowed by law. Given
that the Agreement provides the County with funding that will enhance this
public safety service, staff is recommending Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) approval. No County matching funds
are required. Countywide (SB)

and a revised contract amount of $879,908; and B) approve: a Budget Transfer of $78,000 in the General

with City of Riviera Beach
on September 17, 2024, to provide support
and treatment services to the countys Civil Drug Court. CFS and DATA were contracted on November
19, 2024, to provide SUD treatment services for adults and Delinquency Drug
