3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL
A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: First
Amendment to the Agreement (R2009-1446) with Country Club Acres Association,
Inc. SUMMARY: This First Amendment to the Agreement with Country Club

supplies as an eligible expense. This
amendment reflects the items Country Club Acres Association, Inc. proposed in

2. Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, urging the Florida Legislature to pass SB 1856 or similar legislation extending Florida’s Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Tax Refund Incentive Program. SUMMARY: In 1994, the Florida Legislature created the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Incentive Program as an additional tool for Economic Development. During this Legislative Session, the QTI Program is under sunset review by the Senate Commerce Committee and as a result, SB 1856 (Bill) was filed that recommended the extension of the Program for an additional five (5) years. The Bill as originally filed imposed restrictions on the ability to use the statewide average wage requirement if the County’s average wage was higher which would place urban Counties at a disadvantage in attracting new jobs through this Program. An Amendment by Senator Charlie Justice restored the ability to use the State average as the wage requirement. Countywide (DW)
3. Staff recommends

the U.S. National Space Program (Program) from its inception as the premier

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Contract
with Fastrack Management & Consulting, Inc., for $1,197,942 to provide two
(2) replacement 200-ton modular chillers and two (2) 200-ton cooling towers at
the Emergency Operations Center. SUMMARY: The work consists
of removing the existing two (2) 100-ton chillers and two (2)100-ton cooling
towers (excluding ductwork) and replacing them with two (2) 200-ton modular
chillers, two (2) 200-ton cooling towers in a secured hardened enclosure, and
all associated plumbing and electrical made necessary as a result of load
increases since occupancy and redundancy is below 100%. At times, some areas
with high heat loads are experiencing elevated temperatures. In addition, the new system will benefit the facility by
decreasing overall energy costs utilizing variable air volume equipment versus
the less efficient constant air volume split system and allowing for additional
load controls which will allow for varying the usage. These measures will provide for a reduction
in energy and operating costs. This
project is funded with Federal Stimulus Grant monies, specifically from the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG). All applicable Federal
Certifications and Representations are required to meet grant specifications.
General Conditions pertaining to all American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (ARRA) grant funded projects are applicable. This project also has a Davis Bacon
requirement with a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal of 15%. SBE participation
for this project is 18.1%. The total construction duration is 180 days.

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Contract
with Davco Electrical Contractors Corp. for $964,000 to provide Green
Generation Lighting at Lake Lytal, John Prince, and Okeeheelee Parks. SUMMARY:
The athletic lighting fixtures at John
Prince, Okeeheelee & Lake Lytal Parks are more than twenty-five (25) years
old. The optimum operational life of these fixtures has long passed. The current deteriorated condition of these
systems has resulted in light lumen level reductions, increased energy
consumption and overall poor performance of the systems. The work consists of
installing Green Generation Lighting at the ball fields and tennis courts at
Lake Lytal, John Prince, and Okeeheelee Parks.
The new lighting will
reduce energy consumption by half through increased luminaire efficiency,
thereby decreasing overall energy costs. These measures will provide for a
reduction in energy and operating costs.
This project is funded with Federal Stimulus Grant monies,
specifically from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants. All
applicable Federal Certifications and Representations are required to meet
grant specifications. General Conditions pertaining to all American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) grant funded projects are applicable. This project also has a Davis Bacon

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Utility Easement Agreement in favor of Florida
Power & Light Company (FPL) for electrical service to the County's new Fire
Station No. 24 located in unincorporated West Palm Beach. SUMMARY: The County will be constructing a new Fire
Station on Seminole Boulevard between Saranac Avenue and Oswego Avenue in
unincorporated West Palm Beach. The
existing fire station will be used as a storage facility upon the completion of
the new Fire Station. As a part of the
development of the fire station, the County will abandon a portion of the
Saranac Avenue 40' right-of-way which is north of and adjacent to the
site. The proposed abandonment will
impact an existing power pole within the right-of-way, which will be relocated
onto the northeast corner of the property.
FPL is requiring that the County grant an easement ahead of the
abandonment submittal. The easement area is approximately 10' wide by 20' long,
and contains 200 square feet. This is a
perpetual non-exclusive easement and is being granted to FPL at no charge, as
it will provide electrical services to County facilities and satisfy FPL's
requirements for the proposed abandonment. (PREM) District 3 (HJF)
4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Utility
Easement Agreement in favor of Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) for

constructing a Video Visitation Facility as part of the expansion of the
Stockade. FPL requires an easement for
the installation of underground electrical service and a transformer at this
new facility. The easement area is
approximately 10' wide and 362.50' long and contains 3,625 square feet (0.08
acres). This non-exclusive easement is
being granted at no charge as it will provide electrical service solely for the

motion to receive and file: notice
of exercise of the extension option
under the Lease Agreement with Theodore W. Winsberg and Gertrude K. Winsberg
(R99-842D) for the Winsbergs’ continued agricultural use of approximately 60 acres
located on Hagen Ranch Road in Boynton Beach.
SUMMARY: In 1996, the County purchased 175 acres of
property from the Winsbergs for the development of the Water Utilities
Department’s Green Cay Wetlands Water Reclamation project. The property is located off Hagen Ranch Road
between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard. The Board approved the original Lease Agreement
in May of 1999 (R99-842D), which allowed the Winsbergs to continue to farm the
property. Over time, as Water Utilities
Department constructed phases of the Water Reclamation Project, the area leased
to the Winsbergs was reduced and the Winsbergs currently lease approximately 60
acres. In April of 2008, the Board approved the
Fourth Amendment (R2008-0629) which extended the term of the Lease Agreement
through May 1, 2010, and provided the Winsbergs with ten (10) additional one
(1) year options to extend the term of the Lease Agreement. Exercising this first option will extend the
term of the Lease Agreement through May 1, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment,
the Winsbergs have the right to exercise its option and the Board has no discretionary
authority to not allow the exercise of the option. The County will continue to have the right to
terminate this Lease upon 120 days notice.
The annual rental rate for this option period will continue to be
$1/yr. All other terms of the Lease
Agreement remain in full force and effect.

motion to approve:
A) a First Amendment to Agreement for Purchase and Sale
(R2009-2133) with Midway Foundation, Inc. (Midway), a Florida corporation, to
acquire a 2.53 acre parcel of vacant land in the City of Pahokee (City) for
$134,090; and
B) a Restated Memorandum of Agreement to be recorded in the public records to provide a termination date for post closing obligations.
SUMMARY: On December 15,
2009, the County entered into an Agreement to purchase a 2.53 acre parcel of
vacant land located on S. Lake Avenue in Pahokee for the construction of Fire
Rescue Station No. 72 which will replace the fire station currently being
leased from the City. The Agreement for
Purchase and Sale (Agreement) requires Midway to grant a drainage and utility
easement to the County across a portion of Midway's adjacent property either at
closing or post closing, if needed. The
form of the easements were attached to the Agreement. Midway refused to close unless the County
agreed to revise the easements to delete certain access language contained in
the easement agreements and agreed to decide by May 1, 2011, whether such
easements will be required. Staff has no
objection to Midway's request to remove the easement language that allows
access across their property. Access to
the easement area can be obtained from the existing right-of-ways. This First Amendment provides for: (i)
modification of the drainage and utility easements by deleting the language
granting to County a non-exclusive access easement over and upon Midway's
adjoining property; (ii) adding a May 1, 2011 deadline for a decision on the
easements; (iii) replacement of the Memorandum of Agreement reflecting the
revised terms; and (iv) extending the closing date to April 15, 2010. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

grant funds must be expended, invoices must be submitted for reimbursement, and
when the water taxi docks must be completed and opened to the public. The Third

agrees to conduct offsite wetland mitigation activities required as part of
state and federal permits related to the Scripps Florida Phase II
development. In consideration of the
County’s agreement to conduct these mitigation activities, Lester will pay the
County $1,825,912.50, in three (3) equal instalments;
B) approve Budget Transfer of $727,950 in the 98M NAV 07
Scripps/Briger Fund from Scripps/Briger Infrastructure to the Pine Glades
Natural Area for the County’s mitigation costs;
C) approve Budget Amendment of $1,825,913 in the Natural Areas Fund to recognize the Lester payment of
$1,825,913 for mitigation costs; and
D) authorize the County Administrator, or
his designee, to sign all future time extensions, task assignments,
certifications, statements and other forms associated with the Agreement, and
any necessary minor amendments that do not change the scope of work or terms
and conditions of this document.
SUMMARY: On November 6, 2007, Lester and the County entered into an Agreement (R2007-1888) to jointly fund professional services related to a joint application for a Development of Regional Impact (DRI), Future Land Use Amendment, Concurrency Approval, Planned Community Development District and a Conceptual Environmental Resource Permit for the 863 acre Briger property, including the County’s 70 acres for Scripps Florida Phase II. There are approximately 83 acres of wetlands within the 863 acres. The wetlands are generally in poor to moderate quality and dominated by exotic species such as Melaleuca. The proposed development plan will impact approximately 75 acres of these wetlands. The wetland mitigation plan provides for a combination of onsite and offsite mitigation. A portion of the off-site mitigation, 29.61 mitigation units, is being proposed at the County’s Pine Glades Mitigation Area. Of this amount, Lester is responsible for 21.17 mitigation units totaling $1,825,912.50, and the County is responsible for 8.44 mitigation units totaling $727,950. The Agreement included in this agenda item is required as a condition of approval for the South Florida Water Management District Permit. The specific mitigation area and activities are as described in SFWMD Permit No. 50-00610-P and USACOE Permit No. SAJ-2009-1720. It is anticipated that the funds collected from Lester will fully offset the cost of constructing the mitigation, monitoring the mitigation area for the five (5) years as required by permit and for perpetual management of the mitigation area, which is also a permit requirement.

1. Staff requests Board direction: regarding a proposed Lease Agreement with
Larise Atlantis, Inc. for a new Lantana Service Center for the Tax
Collector. SUMMARY:
Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to lease space for a new
branch office for the Tax Collector (TCO) in the Lake Worth/Lantana area. Only one response to the RFP was received
from Larise Atlantis, Inc for space within the Atlantis Plaza on Congress
Avenue and was determined to be responsive. The TCO decided to proceed into
negotiations with Larise in lieu of continuing with Phase 2 of the process as
defined in the RFP and the following terms have been negotiated by the
TCO: 1) 32,700 sf with an option to
reduce to 20,000 sf within two (2) years; 2) five (5) years, with two (2)-five (5)
year options, 3) rent of $8.00/sf, 4)
Common Area Maintenance (CAM) at $4.00/sf, 5) rent and CAM commencement 90 days
after execution of the lease on 20,000 sf, 6) CAM commencing one (1) year after
lease with rent commencing two (2) years after lease on 12,700 sf, 7) all
tenant improvements being funded by the County/TCO, via a Construction Manager
at risk (CM) contract with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $3,650,000, and
8) a construction duration of 180 days.
Exhibit D of
the Lease is the CM contract in the County’s standard form, between Larise and
Morganti Group Inc (MGI) to undertake the tenant improvements on behalf of
Larise. MGI is a Palm Beach County
firm. The SBE participation is
9.2%. Participation by locally owned
contractors is 70%. The cost of the tenant improvements will be paid, in
progress payments, to Larise by the County using funds received from the TCO
via an Interlocal Agreement. While the
funds for the lease payments (rent and CAM) including the tenant improvements
are coming from the TCO’s budget; there is an equivalent loss of excess fees
returned to the Board to offset ad valorem revenue of approximately $4,773,260
in FY 11 (expended in FY 10) and approximately $380,000 annual thereafter,
subject to escalation. The Tax Collector is recommending that the Board approve
the Lease as presented, and if the Board approves the Lease it would be
contingent on the Board also approving: 1) a Resolution designating the various
branches as places of business and subsequent approval by the Department of
Revenue, 2) an Interlocal Agreement between the TCO and County regarding
management and funding of the Lease, and 3) a Budget Amendment recognizing the
funding from the TCO for the tenant improvements; all of which are contained in
a separate Board item.
It is clear that the TCO intends to utilize the full 32,700 sf (initial and expansion space) and Staff’s analysis assumes that will occur. While the terms of the Lease appear to be market oriented, the costs of tenant improvements for this facility are substantial. The initial improvement cost will be $3,650,000, and the build-out of the expansion space is estimated to be $1,000,000, for a total of $4,650,000. Rent for a 10-year term will be roughly $4,000,000, bringing total expenditures over a 10-year term to close to $8,700,000. In comparison, the cost to acquire and construct new is estimated to be roughly $13,000,000. The cost to renovate an existing County facility (Airport Center Building 2) is estimated to be $6,100,000. The TCO position is that the facility is needed in calendar year 2010 and that the Airport Center facility is outside her identified service area; and therefore is not a solution. Staff has general concerns in siting this facility within a privately owned multi-tenant shopping center, and specific concerns with respect to the location of the proposed branch within the building and the parking availability as well as various other terms that are discussed in detail in the background and policy issues section.

recommends motion contingent to 5B-1 to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing a new
Tax Collector Lantana Service Center, replacing the current suburban Lake Worth
Branch and ratifying and affirming the Tax Collector’s other existing branch
offices;
B) approve an Interlocal Agreement with
the Tax Collector of Palm Beach County (TCO) regarding the funding, management
and administration of the Lease between the County and Larise Atlantic, Inc
(Lease) for the Tax Collector Lantana Service Center; and
C)
approve a Budget Amendment in the amount of $3,720,000 in the Public Building
Improvement Fund recognizing revenue from the Tax Collector and establishing a
project line.
SUMMARY: The Florida Constitution requires the
Board of County Commissioners adopt a Resolution approving the location of
branch offices for the Tax Collector for the conduct of County business; which
also includes the new Lantana Service Center located at 6228 S. Congress
Avenue, Lantana, Fl. 33462. Adoption of this Resolution by the Board and
subsequent acceptance by the Department of Revenue will allow the TCO to
utilize TCO budget to fund the improvements and lease payments at the new
Lantana Service Center. The Interlocal Agreement
essentially assigns full financial and physical responsibility for all aspects
of the Lease to the TCO except for: 1) actually making rent or additional rent
payments, 2) making payments pursuant to the Lease Exhibit D, Landlord’s tenant
improvement work, 3) approving changes orders to the Lease Exhibit D, or 4)
entering into any agreements which would either change the Board’s obligations
under the Lease or terms of the Lease. The term of the Interlocal Agreement is
until the Lease terminates or the County is released from its obligations under
the Lease, and the TCO has paid the County all reimbursements due. The budget amendment increases a project line
within Fund 3804 entitled Various Facilities Improvements Constitutional
Officers providing sufficient funds within the line to fund the work required
by Lease Exhibit D and providing for the acceptance of revenue in the same
amount from the Tax Collector. Both one-time and recurring expenditures will be
reimbursed by the TCO upon receipt of an invoice from the County. (FDO Admin) Countywide

C. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends motion to authorize: Staff to pursue the following alternatives to provide equestrians in East Caloosa with the ability to cross to the north side of the west leg of the C-18 Canal to access the proposed NENA trail (Pântano Trail): (1) SR 710 Bridge widening, (2) a minimal County construction enhancement of the existing SR 710 Bridge, and (3) construction of a new bridge in Caloosa funded by Caloosa residents through a Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU). SUMMARY: At the Board of County Commissioner’s (BCC) workshop held on January 26, 2010, the BCC directed staff to investigate the feasibility and costs of alternative measures that may be taken to provide equestrians from the small East Caloosa development a way to cross the west leg of the C-18 Canal to access the proposed NENA trail (Pântano Trail) on the north side of the canal. Staff has identified five (5) alternatives, all but one of which will require the support or approval from other governmental entities. The alternatives provide a range of options including one that requires no outright expenditures by the County, one that requires the County to expend over $1.3 million, and one that imposes the cost of a new bridge on the East Caloosa community that directly benefits from the bridge. Staff has ranked the five (5) alternatives in order of priority based on what staff believes is both feasible and affordable for the County. Under the first ranked alternative, the County will work with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to encourage FDOT to enlarge the SR 710 bridge when it undertakes scheduled improvements to SR 710 to accommodate equestrians. Under the second ranked alternative, the County will work with FDOT to obtain permits to place temporary barriers on the existing SR 710 bridge to provide a more protected accessway for equestrians when crossing that bridge. Under the third ranked alternative, the County will oversee the design, permitting, and construction of a new bridge over the C-18 Canal within the Caloosa area, which will be funded by Caloosa residents through a MSTU to be established for Caloosa. Under the fourth ranked alternative, the County will install fencing along the southern borders of the right of way of the west leg of the C-18 Canal in the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area and restrictive access gates across the South Florida Water Management District right of way on the south bank of the C-18 Canal immediately east of the existing Ocean to Lake Trail pedestrian bridge in order to protect the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area. Under the fifth alternative, the County will install fencing adjacent to those portions of the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area bordering the southern and western edges of the west and south legs of the C-18 Canal. The first four (4) alternatives will require approval from a non-County governmental entity, thus making the success of completing these alternatives uncertain. Only the fifth and most expensive alternative will not require such approvals. On February 19, 2010, the five (5) alternatives were presented to the Natural Areas Management Advisory Committee (NAMAC) because some of these alternatives could potentially impact management strategies for the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area. NAMAC voted unanimously to recommend the first three alternatives for consideration by the BCC. Staff concurs with that recommendation. District 1 (SF)
