3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

 

G.           OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET

 

1.            Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve: the reappointment of one (1) member to the Contract Review Committee (CRC) for a three-year term beginning November 7, 2026, through November 6, 2029.

 

Nominee

Background

Nominated by

Mark Feldmesser

CPA

Comm. Marino Comm. Powell Jr.

 

B)   waive: the application of the provision in Section 7B of R2025-0508 Resolution Establishing and Updating the Uniform Policies and Procedures for Palm Beach County Advisory Boards, Committees, Commissions, Task Forces and Authorities to the at-large Board of County Commissioners (BCC) appointee to the CRC, which provision requires automatic removal of the committee member for failure to attend three (3) consecutive meetings.

 

SUMMARY: In 1989, the BCC established the CRC and its membership by resolution R89-633 and delegated authority to the CRC to approve changes and time extensions to BCC-approved design and construction contracts within certain approval limits as set out in PPM CW-F-050. The BCC has revised the membership of the CRC and its approval authority limits several times by resolutions R91-810, R2011-1912 and R2024-1097. The CRC currently consists of: one (1) at-large BCC appointee and five

(5) County Staff members including the County Engineer, the Director of Facilities Development & Operations, the Director of the Office of Small Business Development, the Director of the Contract Development & Control Division of OFMB and the Director of Procurement. R2025-0508 establishes the uniform policies that apply to all BCC advisory boards and committees; and Section 7B of R2025-0508 provides for automatic removal of a member for failure to attend three (3) consecutive meetings or a failure to attend at least one-half of the meetings scheduled during a calendar year. Since the CRC meets weekly, Staff is requesting that the BCC waive the application of the provision in Section 7B of R2025-0508 to the at-large BCC appointee to the CRC, which provision requires the automatic removal of a committee member for failure to attend three (3) consecutive meetings. The at-large BCC appointee to the CRC would still be subject to the requirement in R2025-0508 that the member attend at least one-half of the yearly meetings or be subject to automatic removal. On August 24, 2026, Staff requested nominations from the BCC for this at-large reappointment. Countywide (YBH)

SUMMARY: In Case C-2017-03220060, Mr. Garcia was cited for installing both fencing and a storage container without a permit, uncultivated vegetation greater than 18 inches in height, and open storage of automobiles and various debris. In Case C-2017-03220061, Mr. Garcia received a violation for unpermitted fencing, uncultivated vegetation, and open storage. On September 6, 2017, a Code Compliance Special Magistrate (CCSM) issued orders in both cases, involving adjoining lots, providing Mr. Garcia 180 days to correct the violations in both cases. Compliance with the CCSM s orders was not achieved in a timely manner, resulting in the imposition of

$50 per day for each case. The CCSM executed two (2) orders imposing code compliance liens entered against Jorge L. Garcia on July 18, 2018.

Staff recommend motion to receive and file: an Agreement between Palm Beach County (County) and the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (District) for the transfer and mutual release of the Palm Beach County Local Provider Participation Fund (LPPF) funds. SUMMARY: On September 15, 2026, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) delegated authority to the County Administrator to execute an agreement with the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (District) retroactive to September 10, 2026, to transfer the remaining $58,794,034 in the LPPF Ordinance program to the County. The agreement has been fully executed on behalf of the BCC by the County Administrator. OFMB is now submitting the agreement in accordance with PPM CW-O-051, which requires all delegated agreements to be submitted by the initiating department to the BCC as a receive and file agenda item. This Agreement includes non-standard indemnification provisions that differ from those adopted for use by the County under PPM #CW-F-049 and a mutual waiver of remedies with respect to the amount remaining in the LPPF and transferred to the County. The Risk Management Department and County Attorney s Office have reviewed the non-standard provisions and advised staff accordingly. Given that: 1) the OFMB had the opportunity to inspect the District s books and records with respect to the remaining amount and confirmed the correctness of the amount, 2) each participating hospital has executed a waiver of the application or enforcement of the LPPF ordinance and 3) the limitation of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff is recommending the BCC receive and file.

The Agreement will commence upon execution by both parties and shall remain in effect for as long as FPL operates the underground facilities. SUMMARY: This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which FP&L will convert certain electric distribution facilities located at the 45th Street Complex.

The Electric Tariff contains indemnification and liability provisions that differ from those adopted for use by the County under PPM CW-F-049. The Risk Management Department and County Attorney s Office have reviewed the indemnification requirements of the Agreement and advised staff accordingly. Given that indemnification provisions throughout the Electric Tariffs include a limitation to the extent permitted by applicable law, as it applies to Florida governmental entities, staff recommends Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approval.

(Vendor) in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,007,228.74 to complete a Phase III archaeological assessment for the Cam D. Milani Park project (Project). SUMMARY: On May 12, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved two (2) purchase and sale agreements (PSAs) for the acquisition of the oceanfront property (two (2) parcels totaling 5.29 acres) located at 4705 S Ocean Boulevard in the Town of Highland Beach (Town) for the development of a public access beach park. The Project has since been the subject of planning, litigation, a Stipulated Settlement Agreement (SSA) with the Town, and development deferrals per that SSA. On September 26, 2024, the BCC approved a contract (R2024-1292) with Brooks + Scarpa Architects, Inc. for professional design, permitting and construction administration services. Design is now nearing completion with the benefit of a preliminary archaeological investigation that has been completed by the Vendor as a subconsultant under a contract for continuing planning and property development assistance with Urban Design Studio, LLC (R2022-0844) (Consultant). This Emergency Contract authorizes advanced professional archaeological exploratory services (i.e., Phase III assessment) required to further support and implement the site plan and design, comply with conditions of approval imposed by the Town, and mitigate the potential for adverse impacts to any cultural resources during construction by advance exploration as required by Chapter 267, Florida Statutes. Due to the contract amount, the Consultant could not commit to the additional services of this Emergency Contract without assuming significant business risks stemming from insurance limitations and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) certification and commitments under the existing contract, therefore necessitating this direct Emergency Contract with Vendor. The loss of continuity in Vendor s performance on the project poses: 1) risk to past investment in work effort and products, design products prepared to date in reliance thereof, and permits secured for the project; 2) loss of institutional knowledge from prior work that would require duplication of work by any other service provider at additional time and expense, as well as for professional monitoring required over the life of the construction project; and 3) a protracted timeline for completion of traditional competitive procurement in the height of project planning, These collective consequences were deemed detrimental to the interests of the County, and the Emergency Contract was approved and executed. Additional information is provided under the Background and Justification portion of this agenda item. Vendor is a Florida Not for Profit Corporation with a principal address in Davie, Florida (Broward County). Funding for this project is from Park Impact Fees.

2.            Staff recommends motion to approve: whether to proceed with further evaluation of a proposal submitted by JET GREENE, LLC (JET) pursuant to Florida Statute

125.045 for the purchase of undeveloped property at the North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport (F45) for non-airport purposes for $30,000,000 and lease of undeveloped property on F45 for the construction, operation and maintenance of facilities for a second fixed base operation (FBO) at F45 at market rent. SUMMARY: Staff received a proposal dated August 7, 2026, from JET to purchase an airport subsidiary development area (SDA), consisting of approximately 131 acres of undeveloped County-owned property adjacent to F45, for $30,000,000 for non-airport use. The proposal is contingent upon several conditions, including rezoning of the SDA, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval, and execution of a 50-year lease agreement for development of a second FBO (FBO Agreement) on currently undeveloped airport property at market rent. Under the proposal, the lease term would commence 60 days after completion and operational start of the runway extension and air traffic control tower projects. Per the direction of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) at its October 6, 2026, meeting, staff has placed this item on the agenda to seek further direction from the BCC on whether to proceed with further evaluation of JET s proposal, including required planning and environmental analyses and potential negotiation of related agreements, or to reject the proposal. The proposed project is presented under the County s economic development authority pursuant to Florida Statute 125.045, which (i) provides that it constitutes a public purpose to expend public funds for economic development activities, and authorizes counties to pursue initiatives in connection therewith, including leasing or conveying real property, and (ii) declares that facilitating the growth and creation of business enterprises is necessary and in the public interest and that there is a need to expand economic activity to enhance employment opportunities and maintain regional competitiveness.

2. SUMMARY (cont d): The County has initiated a project to expand Runway 14/32 and construct an air traffic control tower at F45. The runway expansion is currently in the design phase, and the FAA is conducting a siting study for the future air traffic control tower. Partial funding for the runway project has been secured. The Department has applied for additional funding for the construction of an air traffic control tower through the FAA Contract Tower Program; however, no award has been issued today. It is anticipated that these improvements will ultimately be funded through a combination of grants, passenger facility charges, and airport revenues, and the timing for project completion will depend on the availability of these funds. JET s proposal includes the purchase of the SDA with the stated intent of expediting completion of the F45 improvements. Development of both the SDA and the proposed FBO property would require further planning, environmental review, and FAA coordination to determine applicable federal processes and requirements. In addition to JET s proposal submitted under Florida Statute 125.045, the Facilities Development and Operations Department has received an unsolicited proposal from Sky Harbour Group Corporation, dated September 16, 2026, submitted under Florida Statute 255.065 for development of a second FBO at F45. The Department of Airports has also received various inquiries from other operators expressing interest in pursuing a second FBO at F45. No recent proposals or inquiries have been received regarding the purchase or lease of the SDA.

PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. SUMMARY: An Amendment to the Local Provider Participation Fund (LPPF) Ordinance is necessary to replace individual references to each hospital with a single reference to Institutional Health Care Providers which are defined as licensed private for-profit or not-for-profit hospital providers that provides inpatient hospital services, unless the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) exempts the hospital through an approved or pending health care tax waiver. This change will remove the need to amend the ordinance every time a new hospital subject to the assessment is added. Additionally, the Amendment makes other clarifying and technical corrections to ensure the proper application and operation of the LPPF Ordinance. Countywide (RS) Hospitals in Palm Beach County (County) annually provide millions of dollars of uncompensated care to persons who qualify for Medicaid. The hospitals report that, on average, Medicaid typically only covers 60% of the costs of the health care services actually provided by hospitals to Medicaid-eligible persons, leaving hospitals with significant uncompensated costs. CMS Medicaid managed care regulations under 42 C.F.R part 438 govern how states may direct plan expenditures in connection with implementing delivery system and provider payment initiatives under Medicaid managed care contracts. In November of 2017, CMS published guidance for states to obtain approval of state directed payments under 42. C.F.R. 438.6(c). Overall, CMS has reviewed and approved more than 450 state directed payment arrangements. The State of Florida first received CMS approval of its proposal for its hospital Medicaid-shortfall directed payment arrangement on April 26, 2021. The non-federal share of the program will be obtained, in part, through the non-ad valorem assessments to be levied on each participating hospital in the County, as described in the LPPF Ordinance.

1.            SUMMARY (cont d.): At the request of impacted hospitals, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted the LPPF Ordinance (R2021-024) on August 26, 2021, providing for non-ad valorem special assessments to be imposed by the County on all nonpublic hospitals within the County's jurisdiction (the Hospitals). The LPPF Ordinance requires the Hospitals to pay a uniform, non-ad valorem special assessment, set annually by resolution approved by the BCC. Funds collected through the LPPF Ordinance assessments are sent to the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) through intergovernmental transfers (IGTs), consistent with federal guidelines, as the non-federal share of increased Medicaid managed care payments facilitated under a hospital directed payment program (DPP) that was first approved by the State of Florida in 2021 and annually reapproved. Through the DPP, AHCA uses the IGTs to draw additional federal Medicaid dollars and transfers those additional dollars to Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to fund increased payments by MCOs to the local hospitals to provide services to Medicaid patients.

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County (County) is authorized, pursuant to Section 316.2128 and 316.20655, as amended, Florida Statutes to adopt an ordinance governing the operation of micromobility devices, motorized scooters, and electric bicycles on streets, highways, sidewalks, and sidewalk areas under the County s jurisdiction. The proposed Ordinance provides definitions, applicability, and operations regulations. Section 316.008, Florida Statutes, provides for powers of local authorities with respect to streets and highways under their jurisdiction, consistent with Florida Law. The operations regulations include ensuring that use of non-human powered micromobility devices does not interfere with the safe movement of pedestrians, cyclists, or vehicles, or that causes or creates a risk of harm to persons or property; requiring operators to maintain contact with the ground while operating; a 15 mile-per-hour speed limit and a ten (10) mile-per-hour speed limit if within 50 feet of a pedestrian, on sidewalks, bicycle lanes, bicycle paths, or any areas designated for pedestrian use; and prohibiting operation on a sidewalk or bicycle path within a Prohibited Area, as designed by County Engineer. Additional regulations include a minimum operator age of 14 years old, a government-issued photographic identification requirement, enforcement and exemptions for law enforcement and authorized government operations, electronic assistance mobility devices, and operators in any municipal or county park, as well as a provision for a participating municipality to opt-out of the Ordinance. This ordinance would apply where the County has traffic control jurisdiction including over certain roads within municipal boundaries of participating municipalities that have transferred authority via an interlocal agreement.

2. SUMMARY (cont d.): Section 125.66, Florida Statutes, authorizes the County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to adopt ordinances pursuant to Article VIII, Section

1 of the Florida Constitution. Section 316.006(2)(a), Florida Statutes, authorizes municipalities to control traffic over all streets and highways located within their boundaries, except state roads. Section 316.006(2)(c), Florida Statutes, provides that a municipality may, by interlocal agreement with the County, agree to transfer traffic regulatory authority over areas within the municipality to the County. Section 316.006(3)(a), Florida Statutes, vests the County with traffic control jurisdiction over all streets and highways located within County s boundaries, except state roads, and the streets and highways specified in Section 316.006(2), Florida Statutes. Pursuant to Section 316.006(2)(c), Florida Statutes, and those certain interlocal agreements, certain municipalities within the County transferred traffic regulatory authority to the County over designated roads and signalized intersections. An increased use of nonhuman-powered micromobility devices, including motorized scooters and electric bicycles on streets and highways presents safety risks to operators and all other users of the road rights-of-way, sidewalks, and bicycle paths throughout the County. Adopting the proposed Ordinance will protect the health, safety, and welfare of the County s citizens and promote safety on streets, highways, and sidewalks under the County s jurisdiction. The Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) recommends adoption by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).

Countywide (RM) As the Code is currently written, the maximum penalty for violations of Section 7-17 of the Code is a

$500 citation, that the CILB may increase to $1,000 depending on the following factors: the gravity of the violation; corrective action taken by the violator; and previous violations committed by the violator. Florida Statutes authorizes the County to issue citations up to $2,000 for unlicensed activity and allows the CILB to increase that amount to $2,500, based on the previously mentioned considerations. The CILB and staff support amending the Code to align with the Statutory maximum penalties, as they will serve to more effectively deter violators than the previous maximum penalties did.

D)  a First Amendment to Community Based Agency (CBA) Contract (Contract) with the City of Greenacres (Greenacres) (R2025-1411), for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028 for the Teen Out-of-School Time (OST) Program, to increase funding by $90,002, for Fiscal Years (FY) 2027 and 2028 for a new total not to exceed amount of $185,999; and

E) a Budget Amendment in the amount of $130,000 for FY 2027 in the General Fund to remove the contract expense and revenue appropriations (Unit 2531) associated with the termination of a CBA Contract (R2024-1257) with the Children s Home Society (CHS).

SUMMARY: In February 2024 and February 2025, the Youth Services Department (YSD) issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for CBA funding for FY 2025-2027 and FY 2026-2028, respectively. Proposals were accepted for action areas identified as priorities in the Youth Master Plan (YMP) and the updated YMP 2.0. The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved three (3) year contracts with recommended CBAs. The County and CSC entered into a funding collaboration for each of the NOFOs. These funding collaborations are now being amended, along with a new Funding Collaboration Contract, to increase funding allocations by CSC to the County for the programming previously approved by the BCC in each round of NOFOs previously released. Included is a new funding collaboration to add funding for Prime Time and Greenacres. Continued on next page.

G.                   YOUTH SERVICES (cont d.)

 

1.            SUMMARY (cont d.): For the FY 2025-2027 NOFO contract recommendations, the BCC approved 20 contracts with CBAs, of which eight (8) were collaboratively funded by CSC and the BCC. For the FY 2026-2028 NOFO contract recommendations, the BCC approved 32 contracts, of which six (6) were collaboratively funded. Beginning on October 20, 2026 (FY 2027) and if approved by CSC for FY 2028, CSC will add an additional $2,071,114 in funding to ensure uninterrupted services to children in FY 2027 and FY 2028. These agreements also add additional funding to Greenacres OST Program to support its youth programs. Greenacres provides a nationally accredited, licensed, year-round OST Program for teens in the County that focuses on building positive relationships with community partners, delivering the Wyman s evidence-based Teen Outreach Program (TOP ) curriculum, and providing mentoring, community service opportunities, and educational field trips. Through this First Amendment, Greenacres will increase the number of youth served from 20 to 40 in both FYs. The program and services promote leadership, life skills, problem solving, and leadership roles within the community. In FY 2025, Greenacres exceeded its projected number of youth served by an additional 17 youth, serving a total of 57 compared to the projected 40. The program has successfully trained and employed 30 graduates in various city positions over the past 15-years. On September 22, 2026, the County exercised its right to terminate one (1) of the (CBA) contracts issued as a result of the FY 2025 NOFO process. The contract with the CHS (R2024-1257) was terminated as CHS could no longer sustainably continue to provide services and meet the outcomes required under their contract for the Building Resilient Youth program. The three (3)-year contract ended one (1)- year early. Countywide (RS) CSC and the County s Youth Services Department serve as the backbone agencies for the Birth to 22: United for Brighter Futures alliance, working collaboratively to support the coordination, funding, and delivery of services for children, youth, and families throughout the community. Since FY 2023, CSC has provided ongoing support to the County Youth Services Department s NOFO agencies through direct funding and other collaborative funding partnerships. This continued investment has strengthened the County s ability to support programs and services aligned with the goals of the Birth to 22 initiative and has helped expand the resources available to address the needs of children, youth, and families. Beginning in FY 2027, the increased level of funding provided by CSC will result in a reduction of the Youth Services Department s required ad valorem contribution, allowing the County to redirect a portion of its resources while maintaining support for critical youth services. Moving forward, the continuation and scope of these funding collaborations will depend on continued funding authorization by the BCC and CSC.
