Staff
recommends motion to approve: Change Order No. 5 to the Contract with Ranger
Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger) dated September 15, 2020 (R2020-1314)
(Contract) for a retroactive time extension of 468 days for Gateway Boulevard
and High Ridge Road (Project). Summary: Pursuant to Contract Specifications 4-3, 8-6.4, and
8-7.3.2, approval of Change Order No. 5 will provide a retroactive contract
time extension of 468 calendar days for the Project. This extension accounts
for documented delays to the Project's critical path, including 48 calendar
days attributed to holidays in accordance with Specification 8-6.4, 23 calendar
days attributed to inclement weather in accordance with Specification 8-7.3.2,
and the remaining time associated with excusable, non-compensable delays,
including utility relocation conflicts, plan revisions, unforeseen field
conditions, ADA compliance revisions, storm drainage modifications, and
documented material procurement delays encountered during construction. Per PPM
CW-F-050, the total time extension associated with this Change Order exceeds
staff approval authority for contract change orders and therefore requires
approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). The Contract was approved
on September 15, 2020, in the amount of $1,297,399. Previous Change Orders
totaling $243,568.55 bring the total Contract amount to $1,540,967.55. Prior to
Change Order No. 5, previous Change Orders adjusted the Contract completion
date to October 13, 2021. Approval of this Change Order retroactively revises
the Contract completion and substantial completion dates to January 24, 2023.
This Project is complete, and this Change Order represents the final Contract
adjustment required to close out the Project. The Change Order took significant
time, as it required numerous reviews and verifications for Contract
compliance, before it could be brought to the BCC for approval. The Project was
presented to the Goal Setting Committee (GSC) on March 4, 2020, and the GSC
established the following Affirmative Procurement Initiative (API): a 10%
minimum mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation. Ranger committed to 21.3% SBE participation
for the life of the Contract. For this Change Order, the proposed SBE
participation is 0%. To date, the
overall SBE participation achieved on this Contract is 26.04%. District 2 (YBH)

recommends motion to approve: the Settlement Agreement and Release in the
case styled B. & B. Properties, Inc. v. Palm Beach County, Florida,
50-2019-CA-008660-XXXX-MB AI in the amount of $275,000. Summary: Plaintiff,
B. & B. Properties, Inc., brought a class action lawsuit on behalf of
property owners in Palm Beach County who had a lien recorded against their
properties for unpaid code enforcement fines. Plaintiff brought claims under
Florida and federal law, challenging the charging of interest and collection
agency fees in connection with code enforcement fines and liens. A class was
certified. Plaintiff prevailed on all claims under a final judgment entered in
July 2025, awarding the class $490,201.38 in damages. Because Plaintiff
prevailed on federal claims, it is entitled to reasonable attorney’s
fees to be paid by the County. Plaintiff was represented by two groups of
attorneys during the litigation, one group from July 2019 to December 2020, and
the other from December 2020 until the conclusion of the case. As to the second
group of attorneys, Palm Beach County (County) entered into a Mediated
Settlement Agreement that was approved by the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) in August 2025, in the total amount of
$1,500,000. That Mediated Settlement Agreement was without prejudice to the
attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the group of attorneys who brought the
case and handled it from July 2019 to December 2020. As to those attorneys, the
parties have now negotiated the Settlement Agreement and Release being
presented to the Board for approval, proposing to settle the amount owed to
Plaintiff for the fees and costs incurred by the original attorneys in the
amount of $275,000. Countywide (SCF)

OTA are structured as unilateral agreements that do not require approval or
signature by the County. Law
enforcement services currently provided by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s
Office (PBSO) at DJT satisfy the requirements of the Parent Agreement and
Individual OTA. Acceptance of the Parent
Agreement and Individual OTA will allow the County to recoup a portion of its
costs for law enforcement services in the amount of $365,000 for the period
commencing on September 1, 2026, and ending on August 31, 2027. The Parent Agreement includes non-standard liability
language that differs from that adopted for use by the County under PPM
#CW-F-049. The Risk Management
Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the non-standard
provisions and advised staff accordingly.
The Parent Agreement provides that neither party will save or hold
harmless the other party for the consequences of any act or omission on the
part of its own agents or employees.
Additionally, the Parent Agreement provides that neither party shall be
liable to the other for consequential punitive, special and incidental damages,
claims for lost profits or other indirect damages. Given the services are already being
performed to qualify for participation in the TSA LEORP, staff is recommending
approval. Reimbursement is awarded on a
first–come, first-serve basis, subject to available funding. Additional funding
may be unilaterally awarded by TSA through modifications to the Individual
OTA. Countywide (SB)

Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) for Mosquito
Control activities performed during the Fiscal Year (FY) period beginning
October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. SUMMARY: As part of the FDACS routine agency review of
Florida mosquito control programs participating in the “State Approved”
mosquito control program, FDACS requests financial information from the
mosquito control programs participating to determine what, if any, grant
funding is allocated to each mosquito control program. As the total State grant
is a finite amount, and is divided amongst the
programs based on the tier they fall under, as determined by FDACS Form 13617,
it is necessary that the County provide this financial report in order to maintain its participation in the “State
Approved” mosquito control program. Since the Palm
Beach County Mosquito Control Division’s budget exceeds $3M, it places the
program in the State’s Tier I, which does not qualify for additional funding
under Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C) 5E-13. There is no cost to the County. Countywide (FXM)

- 2027. The term of this Agreement is retroactive from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Summary: This
Agreement provides funding for the District’s Resource Conservation Activities.
The Agreement requires Palm Beach
County (County) to provide $79,000 in funding to the District
for payment of soil and water resource conservation services and health
insurance benefits. This is the same
level of County funding provided to the District in FY 2026. The District provides conservation services and education to
rural, agricultural, and urban communities throughout Palm Beach County, with
an emphasis on water conservation, water quality, Best Management Practices
(BMPs), and natural resource protection. In FY 2024-2025, District programs
conserved 258 million gallons
of water and
served over 350 customers, while helping growers
access $579,672 in financial
assistance through conservation cost-share programs. The District also works with the United States Department of
Agriculture/Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA/NRCS) to support
agricultural producers with conservation planning, Best Management Practice
implementation, and assistance addressing natural resource concerns. These practices improve water quality,
reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, conserve water, and support wildlife
habitat. County funding supports only a portion of the District's
operations and leverages additional funding and resources from federal, state,

1. Staff recommends motion to:
A)
approve an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) by and between
Palm Beach County (County) and the Village of Wellington (Village) resolving
the dispute over the annexation of approximately 446.14 acres of land located
on the north side of State Road 80 (Southern Boulevard) approximately
1.75 miles west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road.
B)
approve the Public Benefit
Agreement (PBA) by and between the County and KH Artistry Lakes LLC (Artistry
Lakes), the owner and developer of the subject property, for a $2 million
contribution towards the County’s Workforce Housing Trust Fund; the dedication of a 4-acre Public Civic Site
at Artistry Lakes; and the dedication of a Right-of-Way and Utility Easement
for the Okeechobee Boulevard Extension.
Note: Both motions require a supermajority vote.
Summary: On March 10, 2026, the Village adopted
an ordinance annexing approximately 446.14 acres of land, known as Artistry
Lakes. The County objected to the
annexation because the annexation area does not meet the requirements of
Section 171.043, Florida Statutes. On
March 26, 2026, the County passed a resolution initiating the Conflict
Resolution Procedures under Chapter 164. Florida Statutes. On February 10, 2026, after discussions with
the County, the Village initiated the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement
(ISBA) process to negotiate the terms under which the subject property and
adjacent properties will be annexed. The
County adopted its responding resolution on February 26, 2026. While the Village approved the ISBA, the Palm
Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) denied it on August 26,
2026. On September 30th, 2026 the County Administrator and the Village Manager met
per Ch. 164 Conflict Resolution Proceedings.
Both the County Administrator and the Village Manager agreed to bring
the ILA to their respective governing bodies.
The County also agreed to bring the PBA to the BCC at the same time as
the ILA. The Village Council approved
the ILA on October 13, 2026. The County
Commission will now consider the ILA and PBA.
The proposed ILA and PBA contain several conditions, including: the
developer’s contribution of $1 million to the Village and $2 million to the
County to support workforce housing; a density limit of 1.4 units per acre; the
dedication of a 4-acre Public Civic Site at Artistry Lakes; and the dedication
of a Right-of-Way and Utility Easement for the Okeechobee Boulevard
Extension. The motions will require a
supermajority vote of the BCC because they involve land acquisition and are
therefore subject to Section 22-106 of the Palm Beach County Code of
Ordinances. District 6 (DL)

Lending C, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (CityPlace Hotel’s

JJ) approve a Letter Agreement (Hotel 2) between
the County, Seller and CityPlace Hotel;
The approval of this agenda item by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) constitutes its independent
authorization of the transaction approved in Agenda Item 3C-1 and supersedes
the agreements, and related budget items, previously approved by the BCC on
September 29, 2026, which agreements were executed by the Mayor on October 1,
2026. Summary: On February 3,
2026, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) directed staff to continue
negotiations with Related Ross, LLC (Related) on a second hotel to support and
complement the Palm Beach County Convention Center (Convention Center). This
agenda item presents a coordinated transaction to deliver additional hotel
capacity, secure room commitments for convention events, generate recurring
County revenues, and support the Convention Center’s existing operations and
planned expansion. The proposed transaction provides for development of Hotel 2. The hotel would address a substantial portion of
the projected need for 600 additional hotel rooms serving an expanded
Convention Center. A Related affiliate would be responsible for financing,
constructing and operating the hotel. The County would acquire the completed
hotel and land for $26,000,000, with the purchase price advanced through
deposits released to Seller to be used toward construction costs and credited
at closing. Upon acquisition, the County would lease the property back for an
initial 33-year term, with renewal options providing a potential total term of
97 years. The transaction combines County ownership with private hotel
operations and contractual commitments supporting the Convention Center. A new
Hotel 2 RBA, together with revisions to the existing Hotel 1 RBA, would secure
access to hotel rooms for scheduled conventions, meetings and events under
negotiated booking and pricing provisions. These commitments are intended to
strengthen the County’s ability to attract and retain convention business,
accommodate larger events and increase use of the Convention Center. The
financial terms provide initial Hotel 2 annual base rent of $1,117,000 and
combined initial annual parking rent of $708,000, totaling approximately $1,825,
000 at initial contractual rates, with 3% annual increases. Actual receipts are
subject to the agreements’ commencement dates and the
negotiated Hotel 2 base-rent deferral. Additional Hotel 2 participation rent
equals 6% of gross annual revenues above an initial $77,000,000 threshold,
which increases 3% annually and is subject to specified adjustments under the
lease. Continued next page.

1. SUMMARY (cont’d.): The transaction
is expected to support substantial private investment, construction and ongoing
hospitality employment, local contracting and purchasing opportunities, and
additional tourist development and sales tax revenues. County ownership of the
Hotel 2 Land, together with its continued private operation under a long-term
lease, will further these economic development objectives while providing
contractual hotel and parking revenues to the County.
Collectively, these benefits enhance economic activity, support private
enterprise and employment, and protect and strengthen the County’s investment
in the Convention Center complex. Staff
recommends approval of the transaction and the
associated implementation authority, subject to the limitations described in
the motions. The Property Review Committee reviewed the acquisition on
September 18, 2026, and recommended approval without comment. The requested
delegations permit execution of related documents without materially changing
the terms approved by the BCC. Detailed transaction terms, financial
considerations, County obligations and contractual protections are provided in
the Fiscal Impact Analysis and Background and Policy Issues sections of this
Agenda Item Summary. The Disclosures of Beneficial Interests in Attachments 26 and
27 identify Stephen Ross and any other persons holding
a five percent (5%) or greater beneficial interest in Seller and CityPlace
Hotel. Approval of the PSA
requires a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (FD&O Administration) District 2/Countywide
