Center hurricane hardening project in the amount of $509,427. Summary: On July 10, 2007, the Board entered into a
continuing services contract with The Weitz Company for construction management
services. Task Order No. 1 provides for
early participation of the Construction Manager, in design reviews and cost
estimating ($117,665) and critical window system testing and product approval

Order No. 15 to the Contract with Catalfumo Construction, Ltd. (R2003-1543), in
the amount of $154,251.61 and a ten (10) day time extension for the Palm Beach
Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) Aviation Unit Facility. Summary: Change Order No. 15 will provide an
additional 12,000 gallon above-ground Jet-A fuel tank to serve the County’s
aviation needs at PBIA. The County
manages Jet-A fuel supply for PBSO, Trauma Hawk and West Palm Beach at PBIA and
the usage has increased substantially in the last year. Due to the operational requirements for
delivery of the Jet-A, the second tank is now required to maintain sufficient
fuel supply. The expansion project was
designed to accommodate this additional tank in the future, and by including it
in the project will not only meet the operational requirements of FDO/Fleet
Management, but also ensure that the installation does not impact on-going
operations and saves contractor re-mobilization costs. Funding for this project is from FDO/Fleet
Management’s budget. This Change Order is for work which is partially completed
prior to Board approval of this Change Order. SBE participation for this Change
Order is 87.7%. When added to the
Contractor’s participation-to-date, the resulting SBE participation is
25.2%. The SBE contract goal is 15%. (Capital Improvements Division) District 2 (JM)

home, and will use the remaining funds as necessary, until it conveys the
homes, for carrying costs such as insurance, taxes, and maintenance. In order
to achieve affordability, the land for each home will be leased to the
homeowner for 99 years, and the home will be sold to the homeowner. The

Apartments, Ltd. providing $900,000 in Federal HOME funds and $400,000 in State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds to assist in the development of an
eighty-four (84) unit workforce housing development. Our federal HOME and state SHIP funding will
be allocated specifically for setting aside thirty-one (31) of these units for
affordable housing. Eleven (11) HOME
assisted units will be set aside for the elderly or disabled and this federal
housing assistance will be passed through to the home buyers wherein the

Agreement (R2007-1819) with Housing Partnership, Inc. in the amount of $365,000
for the development of affordable housing and operating expenses as a Community
Housing Development Organization (CHDO). Under the Agreement, the funds were to
be used to construct at least eight (8) affordable housing units. Approval
of this Amendment will provide Housing Partnership, Inc. with the option of
either constructing or purchasing (8) affordable housing units for eligible
first-time homebuyers and allow Housing Partnership, Inc. to use the CHDO
set-aside funds as down-payment assistance for eligible homebuyers. Due to the downturn in the housing market and
the increase of existing housing inventory on the market, it may be more cost
effective for Housing Partnership, Inc. to purchase existing single family
houses at a cost below what it would cost to construct similar housing units. The
agreement provides Federal HOME funds whose local matching requirements are
achieved through State Housing Initiative Program funds. Countywide (TKF)

Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). Approval of this
Amendment will establish a new effective date, as well as, extend the agreement
for an additional six (6) months. This
extension is necessary because of delays with the organization’s State Housing Initiative
Program supported “Brooks Subdivision Project.”
This Amendment will also permit Northwest Riviera Beach Redevelopment
Corporation to be reimbursed for all eligible cost associated with these CHDO

motion to receive and file: one
(1) Agreement for Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance with Village
Walk of Wellington HOA. 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. District

motion to approve: a Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement
(Agreement) with Palomino Ventures, Inc.
SUMMARY: Palomino Ventures, Inc. (Palomino) owns property
located on the northeast corner of State Road 7 and Palomino Drive. In order to provide potable water and
wastewater concurrency reservations for new developments, the Department
requires property owners to enter into a formal development agreement with the
Department. While the Department
Director has been delegated the authority to enter into Standard Development
Agreements (SDAs), Board approval is being sought in this case due to the type
of facility being constructed by Property Owner and the fees associated with
the classification of the facility. The
Department has determined the service shall be provided based on a revised
multi-family residential connection classification of 0.40 ERCs per unit. This classification does not currently exist
in the Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual (UPAP), but will be

motion to approve: a Second
Amendment to Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement
(R2005-0625) (Agreement) with The Diocese of Newton for the Melkites in the
United States of America, Inc., providing for an additional cash reimbursement
of $66,000 for County required off-site utility improvements associated with
the Saint Nicholas Melkite Mission project.
SUMMARY: On February 10,
2005, the Department entered into a Standard Potable Water and Wastewater
Development Agreement (Agreement) with the Diocese of Newton for the Melkites
in the United States of America, Inc. (Melkite Mission) for the reservation of
potable water and wastewater capacities. The First Amendment to the Agreement
was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on February 5, 2008,
providing for cash reimbursement to Melkite Mission for the oversizing of
certain off-site utility improvements related to a future potable water
emergency interconnect with City of Delray Beach. While the construction of the utilities by
Melkite Mission was delayed, the County proceeded with the final design and
partial construction of the emergency interconnect and other facilities. Melkite Mission was required to revise the
engineering design to match County plans.
Melkite Mission now agrees to construct certain off-site utilities in
Lake Ida Road to minimize the impact on the road traffic during construction
and to save overall construction costs.
Specifically, Melkite Mission will install one (1) water main connection
and two (2) force main connections in Lake Ida Road which are either not
required to serve their development or are being oversized per County request.
Melkite Mission has provided an estimated cost of $84,973 for the
additional/oversized facilities. Staff
has reviewed Melkite Mission’s cost estimates and recommends Melkite Mission be
reimbursed $66,000 in cash for the design and installation of the
additional/oversized facilities. Melkite
Mission is releasing the County from any future claims related to the design
and construction of the additional/oversized facilities. District

4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Reclaimed
Water Service Agreement – Lake Discharge Irrigation System (Agreement) with
Gleneagles Country Club, Inc. SUMMARY: The recent expansion of the Palm Beach County
Water Utilities Department’s (Department) reclaimed water system provides the
opportunity for existing developments to install infrastructure to convey
reclaimed water into a development’s lakes for subsequent irrigation through
the development’s irrigation system. The
Board of County Commissioners adopted Standard Reclaimed Water Service
Agreements (Standard Agreement) on November 20, 2007, and permitted execution
of such Standard Agreements at the Department level. However, due to the complexity of ownership
and multiple parties having responsibility for the property covered by this
Agreement, modifications to the Standard Agreement are necessary, and BCC
approval is therefore required. District

SUMMARY: The
terms and conditions for Standard Development Agreements are outlined in the
Water Utilities Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual. The Board of County Commissioners delegated
the authority to execute various types of Standard Development Agreements to
the Department Director including potable water and wastewater agreements
(R93-1619); reclaimed water agreements (R96-0228); and additional conditions
for potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water agreements (R2003-0539).
After these agreements are executed by the developer and the Department, they
must be recorded by the County Clerk’s Office. This agenda item recommends the

RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: the Environmental Resources Management’s (ERM) recommendation to demolish the residential structure at the County’s Jackson Riverfront Pines Natural Area at a cost not-to-exceed $30,000. Summary: On February 8, 2007, the County finalized the purchase of the Jackson Riverfront Pines Natural Area for $3,600,000. This approximately three (3) acre property, on the north fork of the Loxahatchee River, consists of three (3) parcels with a single family residence on one (1) of the parcels. On October 17, 2006, the Board directed staff to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the existing house as a nature center. Subsequent discussions with contractors indicate that the cost to bring the building up to code and American with Disabilities (ADA) requirements would be approximately $119,950. This price does not include any interior renovations for space reconfiguration other than those required by ADA. Demolition cost estimates for the structure, including asbestos abatement, are under $30,000. Because of the high cost to bring the structure up to code and the lack of designated positions, volunteers, or another agency to staff a nature center, ERM recommends demolition of the house and garage, and filling in of the swimming pool on the property. Demolition of the existing structure would not preclude the County from constructing an environmental education/nature center in the future. District 1 (JMB)
2. Staff recommends motion to approve: Budget Transfer of $3,400,000 within the Beach Improvement Fund from various projects to Singer Island for $2,500,000, South Palm Beach for $300,000, Jupiter Carlin for $550,000, and South Lake Worth Inlet Management for $50,000. Summary: The transfer within the Beach Improvement Fund reduces funding for the ongoing maintenance of Ocean Ridge ($700,000), Lake Worth Inlet Management Plan (LWIMP) ($300,000), Emergency Beach Responses ($1,200,000), Palm Beach Midtown Shore Protection ($25,000), Phipps Park Shore Protection ($50,000), Delray Beach Shore Protection ($500,000), and Central Boca Shore Protection ($125,000) and Reserves ($500,000). These projects can be defunded at this time because they either are no longer in need of funding, in the monitoring phase, awaiting next phase, or delayed due to coordination with other agencies. Funding will increase Singer Island for $2,500,000, South Palm Beach for $300,000, Jupiter Carlin Shore Protection for $550,000, and South Lake Worth Inlet Management (SLWI) for $50,000.

Riviera Beach. Mr. Harris has secured a
first mortgage in the amount of $65,000 from Bank United, and has been
qualified to receive $60,000 in SHIP subsidy assistance and $60,000 in deferred
CDBG assistance. The subsidy assistance provided by Palm Beach County will
consist of one (1) mortgage and two (2) separate promissory notes with no
monthly payment and forgivable after thirty (30) years if the property remains
owner-occupied by Mr. Harris. This
request was presented to and recommended for funding by the Commission on

(Further staff review)
37 5E-1 ADD-ON,
REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY:
Staff recommends motion to deny: an appeal to the Roadside Vendor Ordinance
(Ordinance 97-40) a request for a waiver by Catherine Hietapelto,
a roadside vendor from complying with the square foot maximum vending area as
required in the Roadside Vendor Ordinance (Ordinance 97-40). SUMMARY: Catherine Hietapelto has obtained and
has a current valid a Roadside Vendor Permit to sell prepared food
within the County right-of-way. However,
staff believes that Ms. Hietapelto’s (Alice’s Restaurant) trailer
and truck (Alice’s Restaurant) significantly exceeds the 300 square foot
maximum vendor area stipulated in Section 9 (P) of the Roadside Vendor
Ordinance. If she were to use these,
she would be cited and ultimately her permit would be revoked. The Ordinance does allow an appeal of a
revocation. Ms. Hietapelto has
requested an appeal a waiver of Palm Beach County’s decision
regarding the maximum allowable area. Typically
staff never requests or sees the proposed vehicle or vehicle layout when
issuing a permit. That also occurred
here - not withstanding what Ms. Hietapelto represents in her attached appeal. In the 20+ years the roadside vendor program
has been in existence, no waiver of the area size has ever been requested, much
less approved. District 6 (MRE) (Engineering)
