9. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution authorizing the County
Administrator or his designee to approve adjustments to rental rates for
properties within the County’s Airports System, which will become effective
upon adoption. SUMMARY: Rental rates for properties within the
County’s Airports System (Airport Properties) are generally adjusted every
three (3) years based on Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. The majority of leases for Airport Properties
provide for an adjustment to rental rates every three (3) years based on the
fair market rental value of the property as determined by appraisal, a
percentage change in the Consumer Price Index or a combination of both. Although the majority of the lease agreements
for Airport Properties specifically provide the method for adjusting rental
rates, some of the older lease agreements require a resolution or other action
of the Board prior to the new rental rates becoming effective. The Resolution authorizes the County
Administrator or his designee to approve rental rate adjustments in accordance
with applicable provisions of any lease agreement approved by the Board or
executed by the County Administrator or his designee pursuant to a delegation
of signature authority. Countywide (AH)
10. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution authorizing the County
Administrator or his designee to terminate lease and concession agreements
managed by the Department of Airports for certain defaults and authorizing the
County Attorney to initiate appropriate legal action, if necessary, as a result
of the termination of such agreements. SUMMARY: Termination of lease or concession agreements
for default typically requires Board approval.
In the event a tenant or concessionaire fails to vacate the leased
premises after termination of its agreement with the County, legal action may
become necessary. In order to expedite
the process of removing tenants and concessionaires in default of their
agreements with the County and collecting unpaid rentals, fees and charges,
staff is requesting the Board to authorize the County Administrator or his
designee to terminate lease and concession agreements on behalf of the County
for certain defaults, including failure to pay rental, charges and fees when
due. The Resolution would also authorize
the County Attorney to initiate appropriate legal proceedings without further
Board action to remove tenants and concessionaires in default, which may
include eviction proceeding and claims for unpaid rent. Countywide (AH)

Summary: On February 7, 2006 (R2006-0273), the Board approved an Amendment to Lease Agreement which implemented a settlement of the apportionment of condemnation award in the condemnation lawsuit between FDOT, the County and Shiraz involving the widening of Southern Boulevard in front of the County’s Airport Center Complex. The Amendment to Lease Agreement requires the County to transfer ownership of the former Records Storage Building to Shiraz upon vacation thereof by the County and payment by Shiraz of $327,000. As the County has now vacated the Records Storage/Health Club Building, this Second Amendment adds the Records Storage Building into the hotel’s leased premises and the Bill of Sale transfers title to the Records Storage Building. Shiraz will pay $327,000 to the County upon approval of the Second Amendment.

(R92-1853D) with Florida Power & Light (FP&L) for electrical service in
connection with upgrades at the PBSO K-9 facility in Okeeheelee South/Cholee
Park. Summary: On December 8, 1992, the County granted a
Utility Easement Agreement to FPL to provide electrical service to the PBSO’s
K-9 facility located just east of the Florida Turnpike within Okeeheelee
South/Cholee Park. Due to the proposed
expansion of the K-9 facility, an additional easement is required by FPL prior
to installation of the electrical service to the new facilities. While
reviewing this new easement, it was discovered that the original Easement
Agreement did not correctly describe the location of FPL’s existing poles, and
this Amendment corrects the legal description.
The easement area varies from 10-12' wide and runs along the northern
and western portions of the property to the proposed buildings on the southern
end of the property for a total of approximately 24,172 sq. ft. (.55

B) approve a Deposit Receipt and Contract for Sale and Purchase with Dinesh Desai and Champa Desai for the sale of 0.065 acres of land in Jupiter; and
C) approve a County Deed in favor of Dinesh Desai and Champa Desai.
Summary: On April 24, 1990, the Board accepted the donation of approximately .15 acres of vacant land located along the Intracoastal Waterway approximately ˝ mile south of Indiantown Road behind the Best Western Intracoastal Inn. Prior to the donation of the property to the County, the hotel’s previous owners had constructed a pool, pool deck and a wooden dock which encroached onto a portion of the donated property. Additionally, a portion of the property is encumbered with a perpetual easement in favor of the Town of Jupiter for construction of a pedestrian boardwalk which will provide public access to the Intracoastal Waterway as part of the Riverwalk project. The Desais are fully cooperating with this project and have agreed to remove the wooden dock and terminate the existing State Submerged Lands Lease. The remaining improvements (pool and deck) encroach on .065 acres. Staff obtained an appraisal which valued the property at $170,000 ($60/sq. ft.; rounded to $170,000). As the Desais are the only adjacent property owner to this .065-acre portion of the County-owned property, Florida Statutes Section 125.35(2) allows for a negotiated sale to the Desais. Closing is anticipated to occur within thirty (30) days of Board approval. The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. The sale of this property will lessen the County’s potential liability and maintenance responsibilities and will resolve the hotel’s encroachment issues. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

SUMMARY: On May 10, 2004, the County entered into Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (SDA No. 02-01087-000) with Coral Lakes Apartments, Inc. (Coral Lakes) for reservation of potable water and wastewater capacity for a small commercial project. Coral Lakes subsequently modified their project and on August 31, 2006, entered into another Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (SDA No. 02-01113-000) to reserve potable water and wastewater capacity for a 180 unit apartment complex. Both SDAs required payment of a Mandatory Agreement Payment (MAP) based on the reserved potable water and wastewater capacity. As Coral Lakes proceeded through the development process the project’s units were reduced to from 180 to 169. Staff recommends Board approval of a refund of the MAP associated with the reduction of the 11 units in the amount of $3,721.08. District 3 (MJ)

Agreement for Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance received
during the month of May 2007 with Moon
Lake Master Homeowners Association.
SUMMARY: On March 14,
2006, the Board of County Commissioners delegated the authority to execute
Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance Agreements (Agreements)
to the County Administrator or his designee.
The County Administrator has delegated this approval to the Palm
Beach County Water Utilities Department
Director. These Agreements provide
property owners with the ability to donate funds to purchase emergency generators
for lift stations located within their community. The Department will assign the community its
generator(s), locate the generator(s) on-site during hurricane season, and
operate and maintain the generator(s) during emergencies. By executing such Agreements, the Department
is able to expedite its goal of providing a higher level of emergency response
service throughout its service area. Power
outages that occur during hurricanes and other emergencies require the
Department to operate a system of emergency generators at wastewater pump
stations to prevent wastewater from backing up into streets, swales, and
residents’ homes. Due to the great
number of lift stations and limited staffing resources, the Department is not
able to place an emergency generator at every lift station. These Agreements will increase the number of
generators available to the Department during emergencies. Countywide (MJ)

SUMMARY: FDOT District 4 has included the Wakodahatchee to Green Cay Wetlands Trail planning study in their fiscal year 2008 budget. This project will serve as part of a regional greenway trail while providing visitors scenic wetland views, access to the Green Cay nature center along with parking and restroom facilities. The County will be fully reimbursed as the cost to complete the planning study is $59,917 which is less than the Agreement not-to-exceed amount of $60,000. (WUD Project No. 07-110) District 5 (MJ)

B) approve a Budget Transfer of $75,000 from reserves within the Environmental Enhancement Fund to recognize the disbursement authorized by the above Resolution.
Summary: With BCC
approval, the $75,000 will be used to cover the costs of removing dead limbs
that have accumulated within the mangrove ditches as a result of the aftermath
of recent hurricanes. These limbs have
significantly impeded the flow of tidal water resulting in stagnate water
conditions. The removal of deadfall will result in improvements to the water
flows and water quality as well as increase the overall benefits of the
mangroves within the Highland Beach Mangrove Preserve. This is an appropriate

C) approve a grant match in the amount of $185,445 from the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund; and
D) approve a Budget Transfer
of $185,445 from the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
SUMMARY: The Board approved the acceptance of this

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Budget Amendment
of $1,600,000
in the General Fund for off-duty permit security services provided
through contractual agreements by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to
private and public organizations. SUMMARY: The Budget Amendment is requested to
recognize the additional revenues and associated expenses generated from
off-duty permit activity. The revenues
from this service for FY 2007 were established in the adopted budget at $3,000,000. As of the end of May 2007, revenues generated
were $3,275,664 for the first eight (8) months of the year, which are
representative of an increase in demand for services and the impact of an
increase in pricing. Based on prior year
trends, it is projected that the demand for off-duty permit services will
continue at the historical level through the end of the fiscal year. Annualized revenues are projected at $4.6M,
which is $1.6M over the current budget.
The recognition of additional revenues will provide for the budget
required to pay the associated expenses for those services. No County funds are required. Countywide (DW)

B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to make minor

MPP.
Summary: The draft MPP approved by the Board in
June 2006 (R2006-1184) was not acceptable to the FWC and the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service. FWC made changes
to the MPP with additional input from stakeholders and has approved a revised
Plan contingent upon Board approval and adequate funding of the final
plan. The MPP is intended to serve as a
resource and planning tool for agencies involved in manatee conservation issues
and provide guidance for review of permits for proposed boat facilities. The MPP includes a Boat Facility Siting Plan
that determines the number of new slips that can be constructed on waterfront
properties. To offset and mitigate for
impacts associated with the new boat slips likely to be approved, the MPP
provides annual funding to be used for improving public education, gathering
data, enforcing existing boat speed zones, and restoring habitat. Approval of
the MPP is expected to provide greater predictability and shorter permitting

overall program service hours; allow the use of taxi vehicles; increase the billable
service hourly rate; eliminate the provider boundary service areas; and modify
several other provisions of the contract.
SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners
approved the award of a seven (7) year contract to MV Transportation, Inc., to provide paratransit services within
Pam Beach County on December 21, 2004 (R2004-2636). As a result of certain service modifications
in our paratransit service program, such as the reduction in service program
hours; elimination of the provider service boundaries; the use of taxi vehicles
in lieu to paratransit vans; the impact of an adverse local labor market and
Palm Tran’s desire to amend several areas within the Contract, Palm Tran
entered into negotiations with MV to address the cost impact(s) of the various
changes. The negotiations resulted in an
agreement to increase the hourly rate paid to MV as a result to the contract
changes. The total impact of these changes for the duration of this contract

1. Staff
recommends motion to approve:
A) Budget Amendment of $12,417,477 in the General Fund as a result of removing budgeted utility tax revenues of $28,124,750 and recognizing a transfer of $15,707,273 from the Utility Tax - Electricity Fund; and
B) Budget Amendment of $28,124,750 establishing the Utility Tax - Electricity fund to account for the revenues from the utility tax on electricity.
Summary: In an effort to enhance the provision of fire
rescue services, the Board authorized the Fire Rescue Department to provide
countywide communications services effective June 1, 2005. The Board also approved the use of countywide
ad valorem tax revenue to fund countywide common dispatch services. The municipalities
of Delray Beach and Boca Raton (Cities) filed a lawsuit challenging this
practice. In June 2007, the Court agreed
with the Cities and the County is now required to fund dispatch services and
the traffic signal preemption project from unincorporated revenues. The utility
tax on electricity is revenue derived solely from the unincorporated area and
will now be utilized as the funding source for central dispatch and the traffic
light preemption project. These
Amendments reallocate the budget to allow for this new funding
arrangement. There is no net fiscal
impact to the County. Countywide (PFK)

longer eligible to obtain overtime reimbursement of costs to open, staff, and

With the approval of this Agreement, the Board of County Commissioners
will pay the overtime costs of the School Board staff and seek reimbursement of
those costs from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Countywide (DW)

59 6D-1 REVISED SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners approved
the award of a seven (7) year contract to
MV Transportation, Inc., to provide paratransit services within Palm
Beach County on December 21, 2004 (R2004-2636).
As a result of certain service
modifications in our paratransit service program, such as the reduction in
service program hours; elimination of the provider service boundaries; the use
of taxi vehicles in lieu of to paratransit vans; the impact of an
adverse local labor market and Palm Tran’s desire to amend several areas within
the Contract, Palm Tran entered into negotiations with MV to address the cost
impact(s) of the various changes. The
negotiations resulted in an agreement to increase the hourly rate paid to MV as
a result to the contract changes. The total impact of these changes for the
duration of this contract will result in an overall reduction in the total
estimated contract value from $84,724,097 to $71,972,512, an overall reduction
of $12,762,073 $12,063,074.
