C) an Inter-creditor Agreement between
GG&EC and the Bank of Belle Glade;
SUMMARY: On October
9, 2008, the Section 108 Loan Review Committee (LRC), made up of
representatives from the Economic Development Office, Housing and Community
Development and Office of Financial Management & Budget, recommended
providing a loan through the Palm Beach County Section 108 Program for
GG&EC, a full service propane gas, appliance and air conditioning company.
This is the first Avenue A Revitalization project. The total project investment
is $596,290, which includes $278,516 from the Bank of Belle Glade, $198,516
from the County’s Section 108 Loan Program, $99,258 from the U.S. Housing &
Urban Development (HUD) Brownfield Economic Development Initiative (BEDI)
grant, and $20,000 from the County’s Business Frontage Program, in partnership
with the Lake Okeechobee Regional Economic Alliance of the Palm Beaches. Of the
$198,516 of Section 108 funds, $98,516 will be for fixed assets and $100,000
for working capital, which is within the County’s criteria. The combined
Section 108 loan and BEDI grant amount per job to be created is $33,086, which
is within the HUD criteria. The project will create nine (9) full-time
equivalent jobs in the next six (6) years. The borrower will use the funds to
renovate the interior and exterior of the building in which the business
operates, construct a 15 x 200 sq. ft. addition, landscape and improve the
driveway and parking areas. The family business was established in 1929 and is
located at 5 Southwest Avenue A, Belle Glade. The interest on the Section 108
loan will be the 3-month London Inter Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) at the time of
closing (as of November 24, 2008, LIBOR was 2.160%) plus one percent (1%). The
fixed assets loan will have a term of 20 years and the working capital loan
will have a term of ten (10) years. These are Federal funds that require no
local match. Countywide (DW)

motion to:
A) approve a Fifth Amendment to Lease Agreement (R2007-1722) between

Roth Farms, Inc.; and
B) adopt a Resolution finding that the Fifth Amendment to Lease
Agreement between the South Florida Water Management District, Palm Beach
County, and Roth Farms, Inc., is in the best interest of the County.
SUMMARY: The County and SFWMD own adjacent parcels of
land at 20-Mile Bend. Roth Farms, Inc.
currently leases 106.69 acres from the County and SFWMD, under a Partial
Assignment and Assumption of Lease approved by the Board on October 2, 2007
(R2007-1772). Roth Farms, Inc. uses the
land for sugar cane and row crops. The parties desire to include an additional
7.88 acres owned by the County into the Lease and allow Roth Farms, Inc. to
continue their farming operation. Lease
revenue is shared on a pro rata basis between the SFWMD and the County, based
upon ownership percentage. The County’s
ownership percentage increases and will now receive 66 percent of the annual
rent. This Fifth Amendment will: i)
expand the lease farming area from 106.69 acres to 114.57 acres; ii) require a
retroactive rent payment from Roth Farms in the amount of $1,549.92; and iii)
will result in the County receiving $1,486.31, as its pro rata share of the
rent. The Resolution finds that this Fifth Amendment is in the best interest of
the County. All other terms and

B) approve a County Deed in favor of Cove Club

SUMMARY: In 1981, the County purchased the Water
Treatment Plant No. 9, located at SW 65th Ave, in unincorporated
southwest Boca Raton, from South Palm Beach Utilities Corporation. Included in
the conveyance to the County was an approximate 7’ by 39’ strip of land which
underlies a small portion of the golf course maintenance building for the
abutting golf course owned by Cove Club. South Palm Beach Utilities Corporation
conveyed the golf course maintenance building to Cove Club the same year that
the County acquired the Water Treatment Plant No. 9. This strip of land should have been conveyed
to Cove Club and not the County.
Conveyance of this parcel to Cove Club will correct the mistake. Due to
the fact that this property was obviously originally intended to be conveyed to
Cove Club, staff recommends that this property be conveyed without charge.

In accordance with Florida Statutes 420.9076, State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP) jurisdictions are required to establish Affordable Housing
Advisory Committees and to select at least 11 members from specific housing
related fields to serve on that committee.
As a result, Palm Beach County modified the composition of its
Commission on Affordable Housing (CAH) Advisory Board and increased its
membership from nine (9) at-large members to 13 at-large members. The primary objective of the CAH Advisory
Board is to make program and funding recommendations to the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) for its Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) funded with
State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funding from the State of Florida.
Additionally, Florida Statutes 420.9076 also requires the County to amend its
Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP). As a result, the CAH has developed a list
of affordable housing incentives for the BCC to consider adopting into its
LHAP. The Commission on Affordable Housing will bring the Affordable Housing

E) authorize payment of
$98,140.51 to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, representing
reimbursement for satisfying certain mortgages and amounts received on behalf
of the State of Florida as payoffs and the satisfaction for certain mortgages.
SUMMARY: In 1992, the State of Florida through its Housing Finance Agency issued
a Request for Proposal (RFP) soliciting participants for their HOME Program. As
a result Palm Beach County Housing and Community Development responded with an
application for the Restoring Our Neighborhoods Program (RON) on April 20,
1992. On June 15, 1993, (R93-734D), Palm
Beach County Housing and Community Development entered a sub-recipient
Agreement with the State of Florida Housing Finance Agency to expend up to
$1,500,000 in State HOME funds in furtherance of the RON Program. Approval of the this item will rescind the
approval of a Blanket Assignment of Mortgages transferring 30 mortgages to
Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), as well as authorization of the County
Administrator or designee to endorse the original promissory notes associated
with the subject mortgages that were to be transferred. Approval of this item will therefore approve
an Assignment of Mortgages transferring all of Palm Beach County’s rights,
titles and interests in, to and under for 23 mortgage loans and authorizing the
County Administrator or designee to sign in favor of Florida Housing Finance
Corporation the Allonge to the HOME Promissory Note for the purposes of
endorsement. The subject mortgages were taken by Palm Beach County in
exchange for funding made to homeowners through the County’s Restoring Our
Neighborhoods first-time homebuyer program funded by the State of Florida in
1992. Upon execution of each Assignment of Mortgage, the County=s obligation will be fulfilled under its
Agreement with Florida Housing Finance Agency (now known as the Florida Housing
Finance Corporation). Execution of the
Allonge to the HOME Promissory Notes secured by the mortgages for the purpose
of endorsement will complete the transfer transaction. Payment to FHFC
in the amount of $98,140.51, represents funds the County received through
mortgage pay offs and reimbursement for certain FHFC mortgages that were
inadvertently satisfied. Payment is being made to FHFC in lieu of transferring
those subject mortgages, since transfer in no longer possible. Countywide (TKF)

affordability, the land for each home will be leased to a County approved
income eligible homeowner for 99 years, and the home will be sold to the
homeowner. Both the lease of the land
and the sale of the home will generate program income to the CLT. The provisions being added to the Agreement,

intent to comply with the requirements of those certifications and assurances
to the extent they apply to a program for which the county submits an
application for assistance in Federal Fiscal Year 2009. FTA requires a current (Federal Fiscal Year
2009) attorney's affirmation of the Applicant's legal authority to certify
compliance with the funding obligations in this document, the attorney's
signature from a previous year is not acceptable. Before FTA may award a
Federal grant or cooperative agreement, the applicant must provide to FTA all
certifications and assurances pertaining to itself or its project as required
by Federal laws and regulations. Because
FTA’s Certifications and Assurances do not encompass all Federal requirements
that will apply to the Applicant and its projects, FTA strongly encourages the

years old, and provides that fees for work identification cards be established
by Board resolution. A board resolution will be presented to increase the fees
for a new work ID from $25 to $75, and for a duplicate copy from $5 to $25. The
fees set in 1999 have not generated enough to offset the cost to administer the
program. About 1,000 applications are processed annually. The cost of the

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution conceptually approving an Economic
Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for Flight Safety International, Inc.
(FSI). SUMMARY: FSI is a worldwide
leader in training aviation professionals.
FSI is seeking conceptual approval of an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
application for a proposed $46.8 million expansion to their Palm Beach County
(PBC) operation, which currently has 93 employees. FSI is eligible for the Ad
Valorem Tax Exemption Program based upon their expansion plans. They are also
eligible for additional state incentives such as the QTI program. The proposed
project involves constructing a new 78,000 sq. ft. training center at an
approximate cost of $13.8 million. The
company will invest $33 million in new equipment and create at least 50 new
jobs with an average salary of $65,000, excluding benefits. The potential ad
valorem tax exemption refund at a 3.7811 millage rate is estimated at $52,557
on property, and $120,995 on tangible personal property, for a total of
$173,552 per year, totaling $1,041,312 over a six (6) year period. The Business
Development Board indicates that FSI is also considering an expansion in
Atlanta. The Regional Economic Model, Inc. forecasts the output of the FSI
expansion to be $36 million over six (6) years. The Office of Financial
Management and Budget found the company to be in good financial condition, and
based on the documents reviewed, the company has the financial stability to
expand their operations. District 2 (DW)

the County’s Administrative Code. SUMMARY: The proposed Resolution
amends the County’s Administrative Code by updating Code sections related to

C. PUBLIC
SAFETY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution
establishing revised fees for new and duplicate work identification cards of
performers in adult entertainment establishments as provided by Chapter 17,
Article V, Division 1, Section 17-153 of the Palm Beach County Code. SUMMARY: Section 17-153 of the Adult Entertainment
Ordinance requires performers in adult entertainment establishments to apply
for work identification cards from the Public Safety Department and show proof
that they are at least 18 years old. The revised ordinance provides that fees
for work identification cards be established by Board resolution. This
Resolution will increase the fees for a new work ID from $25 to $75, and for a
duplicate copy from $5 to $25. The current fees set in 1999 have not generated
enough to revenue to offset the cost of the department to administer the
program. About 1,000 applications are processed annually. The cost of the
program which includes all personnel costs, identification card equipment and
supplies, and other administrative costs is approximately $75,000. Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on
January 13, 2009 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners
of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Ordinance 2005-045 Palm Beach County
amendments to the Florida Building Code, 2004 Edition, Chapter 1 “Administration”
and Figure 1606.1.6 basic wind speed map, adopting the Palm Beach County
amendments to the Florida Building Code, 2007 Edition, Chapter 1 “Administration”
and section and Figure 1609.1 basic wind speed map of Palm Beach County;
providing for applicability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict;
providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing for
savings clause; providing for severability; and providing for an effective
date. SUMMARY: The Legislature adopted F.S. 553.73, which mandates a
Statewide Florida Building Code. The
Statute allows local governments to adopt their own Administrative Section of
the Florida Building Code, 2007 Edition. This section would apply in the
unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, and those municipalities
participating in an Interlocal Agreement for the provision of County plan
review and inspection services. This
administrative section is based upon recommendations of the Palm Beach County
Building Code Advisory Board. Figure
1609 in the Florida Building Code is accurate for basic wind design to the
County and provides for local government to establish specific wind speed/wind
borne debris lines using physical landmarks which is Figure 1609.1. Significant
changes to this administrative code are the clarification that quality control
is not within purview of the code, except as it relates to the purpose of the
code (Section 101.3.1) and the code enforcement procedures relative to unsafe
structures or systems. Unincorporated (GB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on
January 13, 2009 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
adopting Appendix F “proposed construction building codes for turf and
landscape irrigation systems” of the 2007 Florida Building Code, plumbing
volume, with Palm Beach County amendments; requiring the permitting of work
covered by this code, and the performance of the work by contractors, licensed
for competency to perform such work; and the adoption of reasonable fees to
cover the costs of permitting and inspections provided by Florida Statute
125.56(2); providing for adoption; providing for licensing of contractors;
providing for permit fees; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing
for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances;
providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Board of County Commissioners has instructed staff to investigate the
benefits of adopting landscape irrigation regulations and the permitting of
irrigation systems in Palm Beach County.
A survey of the municipalities in the County found that over 90% of the 35
jurisdictions who responded require permits for irrigation systems, as do
Broward and Dade Counties, and municipalities within them. This Ordinance will
act to protect the drinking water quality of unincorporated Palm Beach County
residents and provide for a more sustainable water ecosystem through
permitting, inspection, and the requirement that irrigation work be performed
by contractors licensed for competency in the trade. This is a state proposed code for optional
adoption by local governments. To insure
the use of best practices, promote consistency of enforcement, and clarify code
requirements, local amendments were made to the Florida proposed text, which
are illustrated in an underline/strike-through format of the appendix. Unincorporated (GB)

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an
Interlocal Agreement with the Village of Palm Springs providing for the annexation
of four (4) enclaves generally located east of Military Trail, north &
south of Forest Hill Blvd and
west of Kirk Road. SUMMARY: Chapter 171, Florida Statutes,

establishing the parameters by which this annexation may take place. Per Chapter 171, Part II, F.S, this ISBA
established the Municipal Service Area whereby the service delivery issues have
been determined. By Resolution No. 2008-71,
the Village of Palm Springs has petitioned the County to enter into an
interlocal agreement for the annexation of four (4) enclaves
as depicted in Exhibit A of the Village of Palm Springs Resolution,
located within the Municipal Service Area of the Interlocal Service Boundary

AFFAIRS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Broadband Radio Service
Decommission Agreement with T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile Agreement);
B) an Interlocal
Agreement with the School Board of Palm Beach County, Florida, to receive and
transmit PBC TV Channel 20 programming (School Board Agreement); and
C) a Budget
Amendment of $1,525,673 in the Public Affairs Replacement Frequency fund to
accept the T-Mobile decommission payment and establish budget for the payment
of: (1) expenses incurred in relation to the T-Mobile Agreement and School
Board Agreement; (2) future expenses for the relocation of the frequency
Channel 20 utilizes for the transmission of Channel 20 programming; and (3)
future expenses for the upgrade of Channel 20’s microwave transmit and receive
system.
SUMMARY: The County holds a license from the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) to utilize a certain frequency (Incumbent Frequency) to
transmit PBC TV Channel 20 programming to various locations within Palm Beach
County. Under FCC rules, the County must cease using the Incumbent
Frequency, and transition to a new frequency (Replacement Frequency), by
2011. T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) recently requested that the County
cease use of the Incumbent Frequency prior to the 2011 deadline in order to
eliminate possible interference with T-Mobile operations. The County
temporarily ceased use of the Incumbent Frequency on September 2, 2008, pending
final approval of the T-Mobile Agreement. The School Board of Palm Beach
County (School Board) holds a license from the FCC, and, on September 2, 2008,
began transmitting Channel 20 programming to those same locations that the
County previously transmitted to utilizing the Incumbent Frequency. Under
the terms of the T-Mobile Agreement, T-Mobile agrees to pay the County
$1,525,673.13 for the County to permanently cease operations on the Incumbent
Frequency. This amount includes: an incentive payment of $125,000 to the
County for early termination; a $52,500 payment for costs incurred by the
School Board in transmitting Channel 20 programming until December 31, 2009;
$1,221,923.13 for estimated costs to relocate to the Replacement Frequency and
upgrade the County’s microwave transmit and receive system; and $126,250 to
recover costs for Palm Beach County professional and technical charges. In
addition, T-Mobile has already provided the County with approximately $36,500
worth of equipment to transmit Channel 20 programming to the School Board. The
School Board Agreement requires the School Board to transmit Channel 20
programming until December 31, 2009, subject to the payment of $52,500 by the
County. A long-term relocation plan will be brought to the Board to
achieve the 2011 FCC-mandated transition to the Replacement Frequency or
suitable alternative. Staff recommends, at this time, that the funds
obtained from T-Mobile USA to be place in a separate interest bearing account
for this specific purpose. UCountywide (MJ)
