is for the cost to construct necessary interior modifications to the building
due to existing unforeseen conditions and to add air conditioning and
ventilating equipment due to a design omission.
During the selective demolition of interior walls on floors one through
four, lateral steel reinforcing was uncovered that interfered with new drywall
and infrastructure layouts adjacent to the new mechanical rooms and several
offices. Each floor plan was re-designed,
including the associated mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems, a new
roof top fresh air pre-treat unit was added, and a new stairway pressurization
system and fan was added. The 70 day time extension is necessary to accommodate
the redesign, pricing, procurement, and construction activities and affects the
critical path of the work. The work associated with this Change Order has begun

The enhancements include upper seating area aeration, top dressing and rye seeding and lower seating under drain system, top soil and Bermuda sodding. These enhancements are needed to improve drainage of the flat grass areas adjacent to the stage and seating area. Although the engineer designed the area to comply with normal drainage criteria, a quick-dry and more efficient drainage system was requested to allow the seating area to be functional within hours rather than days so as not to delay or cancel scheduled activities at the amphitheater. The inadequate drainage was only discovered post-construction. These services have been completed prior to Board consideration. Change Order No. 26 must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners because this Change Order, when combined with previous approval would exceed the combined authority of the Contract Review Committee and Department Director for cost. There is no SBE participation for this Change Order. The SBE goal for this project is 15%. When combined with previous change orders, the participation to date is 19.6%.

LLC. SUMMARY: This document will release the Countys interest in a portion of a utility
easement recorded in the official records of Palm Beach County in Book 21590
Page 1619. During re-development of the
Royal Palm Business Plaza the property owner contacted Water Utilities
Department to redesign the existing utilities removing portion of the existing
water main piping system (PBCWUD Project No. 08-543). Water Utilities Department
confirmed that the removal of the utilities does not interfere with the
operation of the utility system. The owner now requests release of the portion
of the original easement. The Water
Utilities Department concurs with this request and, therefore, recommends the
partial release. District 6 (MJ)
3. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: one
(1) Agreement for Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance with
Boca Greens 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 fund the purchase of 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 5 (MJ)

SUMMARY: This Agreement will provide $100,000 for the construction of a water taxi facility within the Snook Islands Natural Area Public Use Facility. These funds will supplement the existing construction budget ($1,279,150) and potentially save County funds previously committed for this project to be used for future maintenance. The construction of the public use facility includes a boardwalk and covered gazebo, fishing pier, floating docks (including water taxi docking), and a kiosk. As the floating docks are designed to accommodate a water taxi service, no additional costs will be incurred by the County in providing this feature. No local match is required to qualify for these funds. The construction of the project is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2009 with the term of this Agreement to run ten (10) years.

42317819401 (R2007-2301) to allow up to $1.5 million of grant funds to be used
for the construction of the West Palm Beach Intermodal Facility (100% state
funds, no match required). The JPA, as
originally approved, allowed grant funds to be used to implement a limited
stop/express transit service between Stuart (Martin County) and West Palm Beach
(WPB), with the final service stop located at the WPB Intermodal Facility.
Thereafter, the JPA was amended to provide funds to be used to purchase three
(3) hybrid buses for the Express Service and to pay their operating costs for
three (3) years. FDOT and Federal
Transit Administration (FTA) have now agreed that Palm Tran may purchase the
Express Service buses with Federal funds, using FTA Grant FL-90-X627, and use
$1.5 million of funds provided under FDOTs JPA to construct the WPB Intermodal
Facility. As a result, FDOT will fund
100% of the cost of constructing the WPB Intermodal Facility. FDOT has also
provided an additional $2.7 million, under a different JPA, which will be used
to fund the construction of the WPB Intermodal Facility bringing FDOTs total
contribution to the WPB Intermodal construction budget to $4.2 million. A Purchase Order (PO) for the hybrid buses,
in the amount of $1.6 million, was originally issued under JPA FM No. 42317819401.
The PO will now be funded from the Federal grant, which accounts for the
difference of $161,344 listed on the budget amendment and transfer. Countywide (DR)

BB. MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Contract with Wuesthoff Memorial Hospital, d/b/a Wuesthoff Reference Laboratory to establish restructured services and a new fee schedule for toxicology and histology testing effective July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2012 with the contractual cost not-to-exceed $915,750. SUMMARY: On May 15, 2001, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Contract with Wuesthoff Reference Laboratories for forensic toxicology laboratory testing, based on an individual test fee. The Medical Examiners Office continues to experience increases in autopsy cases and deaths involving multiple drugs, resulting in increased toxicology testing and anticipates a 20% increase in usage annually. Due to increased costs, Dr. Bell, Chief Medical Examiner, re-negotiated the terms of the contract with Wuesthoff Reference Laboratory. At this time, Wuesthoff Reference Laboratory has submitted a totally new fee schedule with a comprehensive drug panel being completed for a flat rate of $165 per case, instead of a separate fee for each test. A comprehensive drug panel is defined as the detection and quantitation of alcohols, carbon monoxide, and the drugs listed in Exhibit C in blood, urine and vitreous fluid from the submitted Medical Examiner case. Additional tests for drugs not included in the panel are done at the discretion of the Medical Examiners Office and fees are separate, with a fee schedule. Wuesthoff Reference Laboratorys costs include the cost of the pickup, delivery, storage and return and/or destruction of specimens. Countywide (DW)

this grant for $374,761 on December 20, 2005; the original period for this
grant was October 1, 2005, through November 30, 2006 (R2005-2439). On December 5, 2006, the BCC received and
filed an agenda item extending the grant period from November 30, 2006, through
May 31, 2007 (R2006-2673). On April 10, 2007, the BCC received and filed an
agenda item extending the grant period from May 31, 2007, through December 31,
2007 (R2007-0574). On December 4, 2007, the BCC received and filed an agenda
item extending the grant period from December
31, 2007, to March 31, 2008 (R2007-2207). This
agenda item will extend the grant period from March 31, 2008, through September 30, 2008. The National Institute of
Justice awarded these funds for the Solving
Cold Cases with DNA Program. The objective of this grant is to combine the
efforts of the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office (PBSO) Special Investigations
Bureau, Crimes Against Children/Sexual Assault Unit and the Violent Crimes
Bureau with the experience of the Serology/DNA Section of the Crime Laboratory
to solve cold cases. The goal is to
screen all of the cold cases for potential biological evidence for the purpose
of conducting DNA analysis such that the laboratory CODIS administrator will
enter any qualifying DNA profile into CODIS.
At the time of the grant application, it was estimated that there were
approximately 250 cold cases from the Crimes Against Children/Sexual Assault
Unit and Violent Crimes Bureaus, of which 85 may meet the criteria set forth by
this grant. The PBSO has been given an extension to allow the grant funds to be
fully expended. There is no

A. Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 16 of the Palm Beach County Code, Article III, (Ordinance No. 2002-13), pertaining to alarms; providing for short title; providing for purpose; amending Section 3, definitions; amending Section 4, providing for alarm permits required; application fee, renewal and duration; amending Section 5, providing for alarm permit applications; providing emergency notification and reporting service; amending Section 6, providing for technical requirements of alarm systems; amending Section 7, providing for response to alarm, determination of false alarms, alarm verification; amending Section 8, providing a procedure to appeal false alarm determination and providing for a false alarm appeals board; amending Section 9, providing for fines for false alarms; providing for maintenance of records; providing that automatic telephone dialing systems are prohibited and no response for mobile alarm systems; providing for applicability of ordinance; providing for limitation of liability; amending Section 14, providing for prohibitions and penalties; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: This amendment to the existing Burglar Alarm Ordinance is intended to enhance the current Ordinance, by eliminating the current Special Master appeals process and establishing a three (3) member False Alarm Appeals Board which will be knowledgeable of the alarm industry standards and be beneficial to the burglar alarm user. All members of this Board will be volunteers and will not receive any compensation. The Amendment also increases the new application fee from $18 to $25 and the renewal application fees from $5 to $25. The proposed increases will help offset the cost associated with processing these applications. The proposed new fees will generate approximately $2,262,500 annually. The current estimated cost for the Sheriffs Office to process a new application and review a renewal application is approximately $22.50 per application. The Sheriffs Office has worked closely with the Alarm Industry and they support the proposed changes. Currently, the Sheriffs Office processes approximately 1,500 new applications and issues approximately 89,000 renewal applications annually. Countywide (DW)
B. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: an
increase in the fare paid by Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) eligible
individuals whose income falls below the poverty line from a zero fare to $2. Summary:
At the June 2008 budget hearing, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed
Palm Trans budget proposals which included the elimination of the TD Fare
Subsidy Program. Over 50% of Palm Tran
Connection riders now ride for free, and passenger fares from Connection services
represent just 4% of the total cost of all CONNECTION service. The Palm Tran
Service Board and Local Coordinating Board endorsed the budget proposal to
increase the TD fare. The fare increase
proposal would become effective October 1, 2008. Currently, TD eligible riders
using Palm Tran CONNECTION, with incomes at or below the poverty level, do not
pay a fare. Palm Trans proposed FY 09
budget includes revenues that would be generated through the collection of
these fares. Countywide (DR)

F. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) review the list of surplus County-owned properties which staff recommends be found appropriate for affordable housing; and
B) adopt a Resolution approving the list of County-owned properties identified as appropriate for affordable housing.
SUMMARY: Florida Statutes Section 125.379 requires each County to prepare and adopt an inventory list of all real property it owns which is appropriate for use as affordable housing. The properties identified on this list may be offered for sale with the proceeds used for purchase of land for development of affordable housing, or sold with a restriction limiting its use to affordable housing. The land may also be donated to a non-profit housing organization. Staff has prepared the attached list, organized by Commission District, of those properties which Staff recommends be made available for this purpose. The criteria for development of this list included: 1) vacant; 2) located outside of the Ag Reserve; 3) not programmed for future County uses such as Parks, Libraries, Fire Stations, General Government facilities and/or Environmental Preservation; and 4) not subject to bond covenants or Federal funding restrictions limiting their use. The notable exception to the application of these criteria is the Mecca property, which Staff believes requires significant further analysis before it should be included on this list and made available for this purpose. With the budget cuts, there are insufficient Staff resources to provide assistance in developing these properties beyond a simple conveyance/donation of the property. Staff recommends that the property on this list be made available for sale/donation for development of affordable housing on an AS IS basis with appropriate restrictions limiting its use. PREM can publish this list on its website with a link from the Countys home page, but will not otherwise actively market the properties. PREM will handle the sale/donation but will not assist in due diligence or other development activities. (PREM) Countywide (HJF)

motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the County to obtain a revolving line of credit in the principal amount of $22,568,948 to support the issuance of standby letters of credit to satisfy the debt service reserve funding requirements for four of the Countys outstanding bonds issues; approving the form of and authorizing the execution of a Loan Agreement with SunTrust Bank, South Florida (the Bank); and providing for an effective date.
B) authorize OFMB to prepare a Budget Transfer of $48,000 from the General Fund contingency to provide funding for the line and letters of credit, to amend the above-referenced four (4) debt service funds ($35,000), and to adjust seven (7) other debt service funds ($13,000) for letters of credit previously approved by the Board.
SUMMARY: Four (4) series of the Countys outstanding
bonds issued between 1994 and 2006 have debt service reserve funds that are
funded by debt service reserve surety policies issued by a municipal bond
insurance company that has had its AAA credit rating downgraded below a level
specified in the bond resolutions. Staff
and the Countys financial advisor have determined that replacing the sureties
with letters of credit from a AA rated bank is the most cost efficient way to
satisfy the debt service reserve requirement.
The term of the above line and letters of credit is one (1) year subject
to renewal by the County and acceptance by the Bank. The County anticipates renewing the above
letters of credit or replacing them in accordance with the bond
resolutions. If the ratings of the
municipal bond insurers are restored, the County will terminate the letters of
credit. The fees are payable quarterly and will be approximately $102,000 for
FY 2009. The fees, including cost of issuance, for FY 2008 in the amount of
$35,000 will be paid from General Fund Contingency. Staff will propose an
amendment to the FY 2009 budget at the first public hearing for the annual
fees. Additionally, staff requests the
authority to make minor adjustments totaling approximately $13,000 in seven (7)
debt service funds for letters of credit approved on May 22, 2008 as a result

workshops were held with the Board of County Commissioners on June 18, July 8,
and July 14, 2008. Issues identified
during the workshops or subsequently identified by staff requiring additional
Board consideration are listed below.
A) Court Related Information
Technology staff is
requesting direction on the tentative funding level for court related
information technology. Prior to FY 2009, a $2 recording fee generated adequate
funding to offset the Countys costs of funding the IT. However, due to a 40%
reduction in the $2 fee revenue, $2.8 million in ad valorem support is included
in the tentative budget for court related information technology costs.
B) Traffic Hearing Officer
Program staff is
requesting direction on the inclusion of funding for the Traffic Hearing
Officer Program which has been defunded by the State of Florida. The total annual cost for the Traffic Hearing
Officer Program is $199,800. In order
to fund the program through June 30, 2009, an additional $77,121 would be
required. This scenario would require
the Court to return to the Board for additional funding in FY 2009 should the
State not fund the program beginning July 1, 2009.
C) Allocation for Mae Volen
Senior Center staff is
recommending that the $60,000 proposed cut be reinstated in the County
sponsored portion of the budget to insure continuation of senior transportation
services provided by the agency in South County. The new total grant amount
would be $1,200,000.
D) Allocation for the Homeless
Coalition staff is
recommending that the request for an additional $10,000 to administer a new
program for AmeriCorps volunteers (VISTA) be denied. The allocation for this
Financially Assisted Agency (FAA) would remain at $25,000, a $10,350 reduction
from current year funding.
E) Allocation for the
Farmworkers Coordinating Council staff is recommending that this FAA allocation be increased by
$20,295 to correct a staff error in calculating the grant amount. This will result in a new total grant amount
of $180,792. Staff is also recommending
that the unallocated FAA line item be reduced by an equivalent amount, allowing
the total FAA allocation to remain unchanged.
F) Parks & Recreation
Budget/Solid Waste Fees
staff is recommending an upward adjustment in the Parks & Recreation
Department budget due to an expected 39% increase in assessments for solid
waste disposal/recycling. The impact of
the increase is approximately $212,890 to the Parks & Recreation budget. The adjustment amount will be determined upon
approval of the fee increase by the Solid Waste Authority. Countywide

Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on September 23, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, replacing Palm Beach County Code Chapter 13 (Ordinance No. 99-7); amending Section 4, to be the County Administrator or his/her designee shall act as an administrative liaison to the Medical Examiner. The liaison shall ensure that the Medical Examiner is provided all reasonable supplies, support staff and equipment necessary for the performance of the duties of the Medical Examiner; addition of Section 6.D. authorizing the Medical Examiner to charge a fee for services rendered in providing cremation, dissection, and burial-at-sea approvals. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County Code Section 13-1 (the Medical Examiner Ordinance) authorizes the appointment of the District 15 Medical Examiner. As authorized by the County Administrator, the Medical Examiner Office separated from the Department of Public Safety, to report directly to County Administration effective October 1, 2000. With the Medical Examiner Office reporting directly to County Administration and no longer being under the Department of Public Safety, this Ordinance requires amending to reflect this change. Section 6.D. of the Medical Examiner Ordinance authorizes the Medical Examiner Office to charge funeral homes a fee for services rendered in providing approvals for cremations, dissections and burials-at sea.
