SUMMARY: On August 19, 2003, the Board approved a thirty (30) year Lease Agreement with the Center to construct research and educational facilities on 1.28 acres within Loggerhead Park. Loggerhead Park is located between US Highway 1 and State Road A1A (Ocean Drive) in Juno Beach. Construction of the facilities was completed in December 2007. The Lease Agreement provided for the County to grant the Center a separate easement to install underground saltwater lines for the operation of its rehabilitation tank and exhibits.

SUMMARY: This Amendment provides an extension of five (5) months to the term of the existing Agreement for the construction of a playground and an open recreational area in Ira Van Bullock Park in the City of Greenacres. The time extension is needed to accommodate additional time due to a prolonged planning and bidding phase. The scope of work to be funded through this Agreement originally included a playground, gazebo, playground equipment, open play area, picnic tables, fencing, trash receptacles, water fountains, lighting and landscaping. After bids were received, the City found that it would be more cost effective for it to directly purchase the gazebo and playground equipment through its own resources.

(Center) entered into a Developer Agreement (Agreement) with the Village of Royal Palm Beach (Village) to reserve potable water and wastewater capacity (Capacity) in order to develop an approximately 4-acre site (Site) along Royal Palm Beach Boulevard just north of Okeechobee Blvd. The Agreement was recorded in the Public Records of Palm Beach County on December 16, 2002, at Book 14539, Page 1544. Under the Agreement’s terms, Center agreed to pay guaranteed revenue charges on a monthly basis to maintain reservation of the needed Capacity until such time as Center made the physical potable water and wastewater connections associated with the Capacity. On April 27, 2006, Palm Beach County purchased the Village’s potable water and wastewater assets and assumed responsibility for all outstanding Developer Agreements and related monthly billings for potable water and wastewater capacity reserved for various sites within the Village’s former service area. On February 28, 2007, Center assigned a portion of their Capacity for Lot 2 at the Site to Majestic Land Holdings, Inc. (Majestic), who then assumed responsibility for the related monthly billings. Majestic is significantly delinquent in the payment of the monthly guaranteed revenue charges and the reservation of the Capacity for Lot 2 has lapsed.

$15,000 in AD&D coverage. Employees may also purchase additional coverage
on themselves, spouses and eligible children through payroll deduction. The
proposed term life rate will fall to $.245 per $1,000 of benefit from $.28 per
$1,000 of benefit, which is the rate currently being charged from the incumbent
carrier, Standard Insurance Company. The voluntary (employee-pay-all) life rate

AD&D coverage will remain at $.02 per $1,000 of benefit, and retiree rates
will remain constant at $5.00 per $1,000 of benefit. Staff is recommending that
employees be given the option of selecting up to $300,000 in coverage for
themselves, $50,000 for their spouse or domestic partner and $10,000 for their
child(ren). Staff will return at a later date for contract approval. Countywide

A) Second annual option to renew the Amended
and Restated Administrative Services Only Agreement (R2006 2287); dated October
17, 2006, with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CIGNA) for claims
administration services for the County’s self-funded triple option (HMO, POS,
PPO) health insurance plan for the period January 1, 2009, through December 31,
2009;
B) CIGNA’s
proposed administrative fees and specific stop loss premiums for plan year
2009; and
C) Actuarial
rates for plan year 2009
Summary: Staff recommends Board approval for the second annual option to renew the
Administrative Services Only Agreement with CIGNA for the period January 1
through December 31, 2009. For plan year 2009, projected premiums for the County’s triple-option health plans (HMO,
POS & PPO) reflect an overall increase in the amount of 6.9%. No increases to employee contributions or
benefit changes are being recommended. Employees of Palm Tran, Inc., and the
Supervisor of Elections will continue to participate in the group health
insurance plan, however the Solid Waste Authority has provided notice of its
intention to terminate its participation in the County’s plan and the rates
have been adjusted to reflect the Authority’s departure from the plan. The
total plan cost projected for all three (3) remaining entities is $56,610,076,
a $3,637,140 increase over the projected cost for the expiring plan year.
Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund the program. Countywide

F) Group Dental Insurance Preliminary
Application with Union Security Insurance Company to accompany Policy No. G
5,303,634, Active/MAC and True PPO plans.
Summary: An RFP was issued for a voluntary, employee
pay-all triple option managed care dental program (DHMO, PPO/Scheduled and True
PPO) which would provide comprehensive dental benefits to County employees and
their eligible dependents while maintaining affordable rates. Responses from
Assurant Employee Benefits and Standard Insurance Company were evaluated by a
five (5) member selection committee.
Both companies offered PPO plans at comparable levels of benefits and
associated rates, but Assurant Employee Benefits offered all three (3) plans,
including an improved alternative to the currently offered PPO/Scheduled
plan. The selection committee voted to
recommend and negotiate with Assurant Employee Benefits. The plans being
recommended for approval, include replacement of the existing PPO/Scheduled
plan with an “Active/MAC” (maximum allowable cost) PPO plan, which provides
improved coverage as compared to the expiring plan. The rates on all three (3) plans
are guaranteed for three (3) years. Rates for all proposed plans are offered at
small decrease or held at the rates currently in effect, depending on which
tier of coverage is chosen by the employee. In addition to employees of Palm Beach
County Board of County Commissioners, the employees of Palm Tran, Inc., and the
Supervisor of Elections will also be eligible to participate in these
plans. Countywide (TKF)

original period for this grant was July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008
(R2008-0245). This agenda item will extend the grant period from June
30, 2008, through June 30, 2011. The Circuit 15 Department of Children and
Families Substance Abuse and Mental Health Program Office is providing funding
to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in the amount of $47,000 to support
the hire of a full-time, Re-Entry Case Manager. This Re-Entry Case Manager will
be tasked with assisting inmates of the Palm Beach County Jail who are near

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution
supporting Campus Management Corp. for Florida=s Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund Program;
B) approve the Job Growth Incentive (JGI)
Grant Agreement, as the required 20% QTI local match, with Campus Management
Corp. in the amount of $60,000 for the creation of 60 jobs in Palm Beach County
at an average annual salary of $75,000, excluding benefits;
C) approve a Budget Transfer of $60,000 from the General Fund contingency
reserve to the Economic Development Job Growth Incentive Fund (JGI); and
D) approve a Budget Amendment of $60,000 to
the Economic Development Office fund to recognize and appropriate the transfer
of funds from the General Fund Contingency Reserve.
SUMMARY:
Campus Management Corp., headquartered in Boca Raton, delivers
integrated administrative and academic technology systems and services for
higher education by providing software to career and online colleges in the
United States. The JGI Agreement
requires the company to retain 256 jobs, and create 60 new jobs, for a total of
316 jobs with an average salary of $75,000, excluding benefits, by December 31,
2009; and maintain the jobs through December 31, 2011. The JGI incentive is recommended at $1,000
per job created or $60,000. The IMPLAN
model forecasts that wages will increase by $6 million as a result of Campus
Management creating jobs.
Campus Management has filed a
Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund program application with Enterprise
Florida. It is anticipated that the
State will award up to $300,000. The QTI
requires a 20% local match or $60,000. The
20% match will be achieved using the JGI.
Funds are not allocated in the 2008-2009 budget
for JGI. The BCC directed staff to bring
qualified companies to the BCC for consideration. District 4 (DW)
B. HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: additional State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP) funding in the amount of $3,352 to Theresa Wildman, of unincorporated Palm Beach County, to complete an emergency rehabilitation project at her home, with a waiver to exceed the maximum funding amount of $15,000, as established under the policies of the Emergency Rehabilitation Program. SUMMARY: On May 22, 2008, a bid for $14,836 was received to perform work under the SHIP funded Emergency Rehabilitation Program at Theresa Wildman’s house at 4175 Vicliff Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33406. Additional work, in the amount of $3,516, is needed to complete this project. The total cost of the project will be $18,352, thereby necessitating a waiver to exceed the funding limit of $15,000 by $3,352. The scope of work on Ms. Wildman’s home, which was built in 1950, included a re-roof and replacement of a bath tub with a ceramic tile shower to accommodate her physical disability. During the execution of this work, substandard electrical wiring was discovered in the wall behind the bath tub. Damaged electrical wiring caused by the roof leak was also discovered during the construction. The additional work, will in part address the electrical wiring. This additional work will also relocate the other bathroom fixtures and their waste lines in order to meet minimum spacing between them as required by code. Approval of this request will enable HCD to further assist this homeowner to accommodate her physical disability. The requested funds are SHIP funds that require no local match. District 3 (TKF)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a waiver of conflict of interest for Bill Sanders, Executive Director of
the Delray Beach Community Development Corporation and member of the Commission
on Affordable Housing; and
B) a Conditional Grant Agreement with Delray Beach Community Development
Corporation, for $150,000 in State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP)
rehabilitation funds.
SUMMARY: Palm Beach County Housing and Community Development (HCD) through its Commission of Affordable Housing (CAH) provides SHIP financing to local developers to facilitate increased affordable homeownership housing opportunities. This Agreement provides $150,000 in rehabilitation expenses for conversion of a six (6) unit rental development into a six (6) unit homeowner project. This project will provide homeownership for six (6) very low-income families. Bill Sanders is the executive director of the Delray Beach Community Development Corporation, and a member of the Commission on Affordable Housing. Mr. Sanders fills the required seat of a not-for-profit developer of affordable housing. Such a relationship may be considered a prohibited conflict of doing business with one’s own agency pursuant to F.S. 112.313(3), but such conflict may be waived for an advisory board member by a two-thirds vote of the Board of County Commissioners F.S. 112.313(12). Mr. Sanders recused himself from all votes and discussion on this application, and made full disclosure to the Commission on Affordable Housing. This Delray Beach Community Development Corporation project was reviewed and recommended by the Commission on Affordable Housing’s Advisory Committee on April 24, 2008; and conceptually approved by the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on June 17, 2008. This Agreement will reimburse the costs incurred on or after July 1, 2008 to coincide with the start of the 2008-2009 State SHIP Fiscal Year. The total project costs are $1,125,000. These are State funds which require no local match. District 2 (TKF)
C. WATER UTLITIES
1. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution supporting creation of a Water Resources Task Force to identify and evaluate efficient and cost effective opportunities in the provision of future water supplies. SUMMARY: The purpose of the Water Resources Task Force will be to identify and evaluate opportunities and impediments to providing future water supply, conservation, wastewater treatment, and reuse or reclaimed water opportunities that are most efficient and cost effective. Unlike the Water Utilities Advisory Board, which advises on administrative operations and budget matters, this Task Force is anticipated to advise the Board directly on complex technical matters associated with the provision of water supply services within Palm Beach County. The Task Force will be composed of representatives of six (6) cities, the Palm Beach County Commission, Special Independent and Drainage Control Districts, the South Florida Water Management District, and an Environmental designee to achieve a membership of 11 voting members and their alternatives. Support to this Task Force will be provided by a Technical/Professional Work Group that will be chaired by Palm Beach County’s Water Resources Manager and included on the Task Force as an Ex Officio, non-voting member. That position will be responsible for chairing the Technical/Professional Work Group of key stakeholders selected from among County and municipal governments, drainage and special districts, the South Florida Water Management District, the Florida Home Builders Association, the Florida Departments of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and Consumer Services, the County Health Department, and a citizen-at-large. This item is not funded by ad valorem taxes. Funding in the amount of $1,500 per annum will come from the Water Utilities Department operating revenues. Countywide (MJ)

AFFAIRS
1. Staff recommends motion
to deny: the recommendation of
the Centennial Committee that a bell be acquired for Palm Beach County’s
Centennial. SUMMARY: To
commemorate the establishment of the County on July 1st, 1909, Palm
Beach County is proposing a centennial celebration throughout 2009. To commemorate the Centennial with a legacy
project, a permanent marker of a 37” diameter bronze bell that weighs 990
pounds is recommended by the Centennial Committee for Palm Beach County at a
cost of $25,218. Beginning in January
2009 Public Affairs would sanction events in the 38 municipalities of Palm
Beach County. On July 4, 2009, the signature host event, Fourth on Flagler,
will display the bell to coincide with the County’s anniversary of
incorporation of July 1, 1909. Funding for the bell could be taken
from the Public Affairs promotional funds in the current budget in lieu of
other possible needs for FY 2009. In
mid-2009, a permanent stand for the bell will be designed by a local architect
selected in a countywide contest. The cost for the construction of the
mount is estimated at $40,000 and would be requested from the FY 2010
budget. On-going maintenance costs may
be incurred and will be determined upon the selection of the mount. Staff recommends not approving the
construction of the bell due to immediate FY 2009, future FY 2010 and
anticipated on-going maintenance cost of the project. The theme, “Rediscover
Palm Beach County” is available for use by established events to promote the
County’s Centennial. A partnership
packet has been sent to municipalities, historical societies, area chambers and
several existing community events. The
partnership packet identifies the theme, logo and historical facts of Palm
Beach County to encourage incorporation of the Centennial theme into existing
events for public awareness of the County’s 100th anniversary. Countywide (SF)
