F. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution
establishing rental rates for certain hangar facilities at the North County
General Aviation Airport (Airport); authorizing the County Administrator or his
designee to increase rental rates for certain hangar facilities at the Airport;
and repealing Resolution No. 2007-1755. SUMMARY:
On October 2, 2007 (R2007-1755), the Board approved a phased increase in the
rental rates for certain hangars at the Airport over a five (5) year
period. The first two (2) scheduled increases have taken place and the
third is scheduled to occur on October 1, 2009. Staff is recommending
suspending the rental rate increase scheduled to occur on October 1, 2009,
because the recent economic decline has reduced the demand for hangars.
The Department intends to obtain an appraisal of the hangars in 2010 and to
reevaluate the rental rates at that time. The Resolution authorizes the
County Administrator or his designee to annually increase rental rates
commencing on October 1, 2010. The rental rates may be increased to an
amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) the fair market rental of such hangar
facilities as determined by appraisal; or (ii) three percent (3%) per
year. The Aviation and Airports Advisory Board will review and comment on
any proposed rental rate increases prior to implementation of the rate
increases. Countywide (AH)
2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution approving a standard form Executive
Hangar Lease Agreement; authorizing the County Administrator or his designee to
execute the Executive Hangar Lease Agreement; repealing Resolution 2007-1080;
providing for severability; and becoming effective upon adoption. SUMMARY: The
Resolution authorizes the County Administrator or his designee to execute a
standard form Executive Hangar Lease Agreement (Agreement) for executive hangars at the North County General Aviation
Airport. The Resolution repeals Resolution 2007-1080 adopting a similar standard
form Agreement. The Agreements
will be for an initial term of one (1) year and will automatically renew
thereafter unless either party elects not to renew. Rental will be at the
fair market rental rates as determined by an appraisal, and rates will be
updated by an appraisal on October 1, 2010 and every three (3) years
thereafter. Countywide (AH)
3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: First Amendment to Lessor’s Estoppel Certificate
and Agreement with Galaxy Aviation of Palm Beach, Inc. SUMMARY: On September 6, 2007,
Galaxy Aviation of Palm Beach, Inc. (Galaxy Aviation) and the County entered
into a Lessor’s Certificate and Agreement for the purpose of giving notice of
certain terms of the Lease Agreement between the parties dated October 18, 2000
(R2000-1067) (Lease). The Lease was recently amended (R2009-0750) to

premises. Galaxy Aviation has requested the County enter into an Amendment to
the Lessor’s Certificate and Agreement for the benefit of its lender Citibank,

D. HOUSING
& COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) authorize the Department of Housing and Community
Development to submit an application to the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2
(NSP-2);
B) approve the proposed NSP-2 activities and funding
request amounts; and
C) adopt
a Resolution authorizing the County Administrator or his designee to execute
the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 Grant Application, Standard Form SF
424, Certifications, Agreement with HUD, and all other documents related to
implementation of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is making Neighborhood Stabilization
Program 2 (NSP-2) funds in the amount of $1.93 billion available nationwide
through a competitive funding process. In order to access NSP-2 funds, Palm
Beach County must submit an application to HUD by July 17, 2009. Because NSP-2 funds are not allocated on an
entitlement basis, submittal of an application does not guarantee the award of
funding. Eligible applicants include
state governments, units of local government, and non-profit entities, and such
eligible applicants may have a for-profit partner(s). The purpose of NSP-2 is
to stabilize neighborhoods that have been damaged by the economic effects of
abandoned and foreclosed properties, and as such, the County’s NSP-2
application proposes to request funding as follows: a) $9.15 million for HCD to
provide low-interest second mortgages to homebuyers to acquire vacant
foreclosed properties for owner-occupancy;
b) $20.13 million for a competitive Residential Redevelopment Program to
provide grants or loans to subrecipient entities to acquire/rehabilitate vacant
foreclosed residential properties for subsequent affordable resale or rental;
and c) $16.47 million for a competitive Neighborhood Redevelopment Program to
provide loans or grants to subrecipient entities partnering with for-profit
developers to acquire and/or redevelop vacant residential properties for
affordable multifamily rental housing. The NSP-2 regulations allow an amount of
up to 10% of the overall grant to be used for general administration and
planning activities. HCD intends to request a total of $50 million and will
utilize 8.5% of the request for administrative costs leaving $45.75 million for
implementation of the activities. NSP-2 funds may assist households earning up
to 120% of Area Median Income (AMI), however, no less than 25% of the total
grant funding must be used to assist households whose incomes do not exceed 50%
of AMI. HUD requires that NSP-2 applicants identify a targeted geographic area
which meets certain criteria based on foreclosure and vacancy rates provided by
HUD. HCD’s proposed target area is the Palm Beach County Urban Redevelopment
Area, which includes the Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Area district. As
required by HUD, citizen input was received and the Board of County
Commissioners meeting was advertised via a Public Notice published on June 26,
2009. All relevant documentation was also posted on HCD’s website. These are
Federal funds that require no local match. Countywide (TKF)

service area boundaries for the provision of potable water, wastewater and
reclaimed water service between the Town of Lake Clarke Shores (Town) and the
Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department. This Agreement defines only the
boundary lines between the utility service areas, and does not change the

approval rights beyond existing statutory authority. District 3 (MJ)
2. Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement with the Village of Wellington (Village) and Acme Improvement District (jointly referred to as “Village”) for emergency potable water interconnect. SUMMARY: In order to ensure mutual aid between adjoining utilities during emergency situations for water service, the County has encouraged the use emergency interconnects by way of cooperative agreements with other public utilities. The emergency potable water interconnect with the Village will be located on State Road 7 near the entrance to the Shoppes at Isle of Verde. The interconnect will be supported via a 16 inch water main that is connected to the County’s 42 inch water main on the east side of the road. The County will be responsible for design and construction of the interconnect with the Village being responsible for the design and construction of the SR 7 water main crossing that will connect the two (2) systems. The County’s cost for construction of the interconnect will be approximately $25,000. By entering into the Agreement, Village residents will benefit from the additional availability of potable water during emergencies, and existing County utility customers will receive a similar benefit.

26 5A-1 ADD-ON: Staff requests Board direction: regarding adopting a Resolution authorizing a
new Lake Worth Client Service Center for the Tax Collector of Palm Beach
County, replacing the current suburban Lake Worth office, and ratifying and
affirming the Tax Collector’s other existing branch offices. SUMMARY: The
Tax Collector’s suburban Lake Worth facility, on Military Trail just north of
Lake Worth Road, eventually needs replacement.
The Tax Collector desires to renovate and lease an existing facility at 6228 S. Congress Avenue, Lantana, FL 33462, to provide more parking, office space,
services and better business processing.
The Florida Constitution requires the Board of County Commissioners to
adopt a Resolution approving the location of branch offices for the Tax
Collector for the conduct of County business. The Office of the Tax Collector
funds its budget from service fees, the unspent balance of which are passed on
to the County and other governments. To
the extent the Tax Collector uses those fees to fund the new building, they
will not be available to the County and other agencies. The timing and budget
for the new building could be a factor in Board consideration of this
item. District 3 (JM) (Admin)

the Board of County Commissioners approved an Interlocal Agreement with the
City (R2009-0950) to provide a Covenant to budget and appropriate funds should
the City default on its obligation to repay the loans. Based on this Covenant,
the Department is requiring the County to execute these Agreements. These loans, along with a separate loan for
the City of South Bay, satisfy a Condition Precedent to Interlocal Agreement
(R2009-1034) creating the Glades Utility Authority (GUA) requiring at least $1
million in grant/loan (85%/15%) stimulus funding from the ARRA prior to August
