Center, Inc. (Boca Highland) for landscaping and utilities, and ingress/egress

SUMMARY: The County is in the process of obtaining development
approvals for Cam D. Milani Park, located in the Town of Highland Beach on the
east and west sides of South Ocean Boulevard (State Road A1A), north of Spanish
River Boulevard. Boca Highland is a not-for-profit corporation and manages the
common area of the development which is located immediately to the south, north
and west of the western Park parcel, and has an access road, landscaping and
utilities which encroach upon the Park property. There has been a long standing dispute with
Boca Highland as to ownership of the affected land, which started long before
the County acquired title to the Park.
The County needs a drainage easement over Boca Highland’s property for
legal positive outfall in order to develop the Park. Boca Highland’s
encroaching improvements are located within the typical setback/buffer area and
do not reduce the usable land area for the Park. Therefore, the parties have
agreed to resolve this matter through exchange of easements. Boca Highland is granting the County a
perpetual non-exclusive easement for storm water drainage. In exchange, the County is granting a
perpetual non-exclusive easement to Boca Highland for landscaping, utilities,
and ingress/egress to permit the existing improvements which serve Boca
Highland to remain in place. The total
area of the easements that the County is granting to Boca Highland is 13,701.1

The County desires to promote ecotourism and support the FTA by promoting the “Gateway Community Program” through signage and activities that highlight nature based tourism, trail usage and wellness through various hikes, awareness of Florida Hiking Trails Month, National Trails Day, and Florida Greenways and Trails Month. Adoption of this Resolution will subsequently result in the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the FTA, the Tourist Development Council, the Parks and Recreation Department, and the Department of Environmental Resources Management to integrate the Program objectives, events and activities into the educational and recreational agenda of the County. That MOU will be brought before the Board for its approval at a future Board meeting. Countywide (SF)

of the local preference is included for Glades Utility Authority purchases when
made pursuant to the alternative source selection under the Purchasing Code. Countywide

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to deny: a request by the County Judiciary to fill a
vacant System Administrator 2 position. SUMMARY: This System
Administrator 2 position became vacant as a result of an internal promotion
into a State funded position in fall 2009.
The cost of filling the vacancy for the 2011 Fiscal Year will be $71,300
plus an amount for the current year. The
vacancy has generated $56,000 in savings so far. While Court technology costs
are supposed to be paid for by State authorized fees, those have been
insufficient and the general fund budget is supplementing those fees, this year
in an amount of $3,843,000. The vacancy is one (1) of ten (10) County positions
assigned to the Court Technology staff.
There were three (3) positions in 2002. Per Board direction to try to
reduce the general fund budget while minimizing layoffs, County management has
implemented as strict a policy as possible of not filling positions that become
vacant. This has and will cause the elimination of approximately 600 positions
over three (3) years out of 4,500. County Administration does not view this
position as critical, the Judiciary says it is. A timing alternative was
suggested to wait till the June budget workshop for further Board direction. Countywide

SUMMARY: The Clerk & Comptroller’s office will provide a year-end financial review based on the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for 2009. Countywide (PFK)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Budget Amendment of $104,247 that includes a transfer of $156,371 from the General Fund Contingency to supplement the 2010 Value Adjustment Board budget; and
B) an Agreement with AXIA by Pioneer Technologies in an amount not to exceed $13,600 for the cost of the AXIA Media Player upgrade to the AXIA software. This includes $9,500 for Perpetual License, $1,900 yearly maintenance support, and $2,200 for installation and implementation of the upgrade.
SUMMARY: The 2010 Value Adjustment Board (VAB) season set a new record in the number of individuals filing petitions – 19,054. This was an increase of approximately 6,000 petitions filed from the year before, which was also a record-breaking year. With this increase in filed petitions, corresponding costs have also gone up, including, but not limited to, special magistrate hours, VAB Counsel hours and the number of needed temporary clerks. Additionally, the 2010 VAB Season has seen three (3) separate lawsuits which required the acquisition of outside legal counsel for defense. Lastly, staff has determined that by implementing the AXIA Media Player upgrade to the existing AXIA software, $3,073.90 will be saved each year in corresponding costs. The upgrade will replace cassette tapes with digital recorders inside the hearing rooms. The initial outlay for the software upgrade is $13,600 and has a payback period of four (4) years. The Value Adjustment Board has recommended the implementation of the upgrade for efficiency and liability purposes. For all the foregoing reasons, the VAB requires $260,618 to supplement its current budget in order to meet operating cost projections for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Board of County Commissioners will be reimbursed 40% of these funds ($104,247) by the School Board of Palm Beach County as mandated by State Statute. The remainder of the funds ($156,371) will be paid out of the General Fund Contingency. Countywide (PK)

1. Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on May 18, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 17, Article II, business taxes; amending Section 17-69, dance halls, variety exhibitions, etc. providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Business Tax Ordinance includes a tax on businesses that allow dancing or charge for entertainment. This Ordinance expands an existing exemption in the Ordinance by exempting from the tax live entertainment at establishments with an occupancy limit or capacity of 100 persons or less with a county receipt in another business tax category. The exemption in the current Ordinance applies only if the establishment does not sell, serve or allow alcoholic beverages. This exemption will have a negligible impact on County revenues.

2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
Resolution authorizing the issuance of its Taxable Public Improvement Revenue
Bonds (Convention Center Hotel Project), Series 2010 in the aggregate principal
amount of not exceeding $11,604,000 for the purpose of paying, together with
other legally available funds of the County, the principal on the County’s
$11,543,892.36 Taxable Public Improvement Revenue Bond Anticipation Notes
(Convention Center Hotel Project), Series 2007 on or before the maturity date
thereof and paying costs of issuance of the 2010 Bonds; providing for the
application of the proceeds of the 2010 Bonds; determining certain details of
the 2010 Bonds; providing for the sale of the 2010 Bonds to PNC Bank, National
Association (PNC Bank); appointing the County as the initial paying agent and
registrar for the 2010 Bonds and authorizing the proper officers of the County
to do all other things necessary or advisable as to the sale and delivery of
the 2010 Bonds; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: In April, 2007, the Board authorized the
issuance of the $11.5 Million in Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS) (R2007-0584)
which paid off the initial notes used to provide the financing for the costs of
acquiring the convention center hotel site.
The BANS are due on May 1, 2010. Staff is recommending that due to the
uncertainty of the timing of the construction of a convention center hotel, the
County seek permanent financing for the convention center hotel site. A Request
for Proposals was sent out on March 18 with responses received on April 8,
2010. PNC Bank won the bid with the
lowest fixed taxable interest rate of 5.484% and the closing will take place by
May 1, 2010. Ruden McCloskey was appointed to serve as Bond Counsel. The cost
of issuance will not exceed $60,000. Countywide (PK)

motion to approve on preliminary reading and to advertise for Public
Hearing on May 18, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm
Beach County, Florida, creating the “Palm
Beach County Water Utilities Tampering Ordinance”; providing for a title;
providing for authority; providing for definitions; providing for
applicability; providing for violations; providing for penalties for service
account holders; providing for penalties for non-service account holders; providing
for alternative enforcement provisions, providing for rental property; providing
for the delegation of designation of Water Utilities Department employees as Code
Enforcement Officers; providing for inclusion in the Code Enforcement Citation Ordinance
of Palm Beach County, Florida; providing for repeal of laws in conflict;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws
and Ordinances; providing for enforcement; providing
for penalties; providing for captions;
and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: This Ordinance will allow the Water
Utilities Department (Department) to assess fines for tampering with or making
unauthorized connections to the Department’s utility system. Tampering and
unauthorized connections are threats to the public health, safety, and welfare
because such actions may allow for injection of contaminating materials into
the water system. Tampering and unauthorized connections are also financially
detrimental to the Department and its customers because services are obtained
without payment to the Department. The Ordinance
will allow Water Utilities Department employees to impose fines on service
account holders, issue citations as Code Enforcement Officers, or use
alternative code enforcement methods through the Planning, Zoning and Building
Department. The proposed fines will be $250 for tampering with or unauthorized
connection to the Department’s utility system, and $400 for the introduction of
any materials into the Department’s utility system. The $250 fines were
increased from the initial draft ordinance per Board direction. The $400 fine
is the maximum allowed by the citation process. A Special Master may impose
higher fines under the alternative code enforcement methods. Countywide (MJ)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the Seminole Improvement
District (SID) for the purchase and sale of bulk reclaimed water, including a
credit against future reclaimed water reservation charges in exchange for a
permit to cross the M-2 canal, owned by SID. SUMMARY: On May 20, 2008,
Palm Beach County (County) and Florida Power and Light (FPL) entered into a
Reclaimed Water Agreement (R2008-0906) (FPL Agreement). The County agreed to
provide FPL with an average capacity of 22 million gallons per day (MGD) of
reclaimed water to be used as cooling water for electric generators in FPL’s
West County Energy Center (WCEC). FPL is
paying the total capital and operating cost of the treatment facilities needed
at the East Central Water Reclamation Facility (ECRWRF) and the 19-mile
pipeline to the WCEC. The County receives an administrative overhead fee on
each gallon of reclaimed water delivered. Under the FPL Agreement, when FPL’s
demand for reclaimed water is less than the pipeline’s peak design flow of 27
MGD, surplus reclaimed water can be sold by County to other customers, on an
interruptible basis, the proceeds of which are to be split by formula between
FPL and County. The rates for this
additional reclaimed water were adopted on March 23, 2010 by the Board of
County Commissioners (ORD-2010-008). This Agreement advances the reality of a
northern regional reclaimed water system as envisioned in a previous agreement
with SID (Bulk Service Agreement) (R2006-0732), with SID as the first customer.
In this Agreement, SID is reserving 3.85 MGD of interruptible reclaimed water
under the terms established by the BCC, with two (2) exceptions: a waiver of
the 13 cents per thousand gallons per day reservation charge and the freezing
of the commodity rate for five (5) years. These exceptions have been negotiated
in exchange for a permit and access to SID property in order to allow the
crossing of the M-2 canal by the County’s reclaimed water pipeline. The present
value of the negotiated credit to SID, when taken in isolation from other
potential future benefits to the County and to FPL, significantly exceeds the
$2,500 appraised value of the permitted property. No monetary benefit would
accrue to SID unless they actually buy reclaimed water under the Agreement. FPL
has agreed to cover the entire cost of the credit to SID, thus allowing County
to continue to accrue its full administration fee on every gallon of capacity
reserved by and sold to SID under this agreement. District 6 (MJ)

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a second waiver to exceed the $10,000 per home limit for lead-based paint related costs by authorizing an additional $5,650 for Thomas Hankerson, of Belle Glade, under the Residential Rehabilitation Program. SUMMARY: On November 6, 2007 (Agenda Item No. 5D-1), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorized the expenditure of up to $10,000 per home for lead-based paint related costs in connection with the rehabilitation of homes undertaken under the Residential Rehabilitation Program. Mr. Hankerson, a very-low income elderly homeowner residing in Belle Glade, is an applicant under this program. The rehabilitation of Mr. Hankerson’s home (built in 1940, and appraised at $74,520) included work items for the removal of lead-based paint hazards the cost of which exceeded the $10,000 per home limit thereby necessitating a waiver. On December 15, 2009 (Agenda Item No. 5D-1), the BCC approved a waiver to this limit thereby authorizing an additional $5,047.11 to address these lead-based paint hazards. During the lead-based paint abatement process, while the painted building components were being field checked for lead-based paint, it was discovered that the consultant’s original inspection report had omitted certain readings due to a software glitch. The affected building components that were omitted require abatement thereby necessitating this second waiver to add $5,650 to the of cost lead-based paint hazard reduction. Some of the affected building components that were omitted require abatement (removal) in compliance will applicable Federal regulations because they will be disturbed in the construction process which would have created a hazard. The other affected building components that were omitted will be abated because they have lead-based paint in a fair condition that could deteriorate further into a hazard. The net result of performing the original abatement work and the abatement of the omitted components would result in a lead-free home thereby eliminating any future exposure to the occupants. Upon approval of the second waiver, the total cost associated with addressing the lead-based paint in Mr. Hankerson’s home will be $20,697.11. These are Federal Community Development Block Grant funds that require no local match. District 6 (TKF)
