2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with the Oakwood Center of the Palm Beaches, Inc., in the amount of $198,179.40, for the period of May 4, 2010, through February 28, 2011. SUMMARY: This Agreement provides funding for the continuation of a project that has commenced under Agreement (R2007-1329) which has expired. The $200,000 funded through the expired Agreement, less funds expended on the project to date, is being recommitted to the project through this Agreement. Under this Agreement, Oakwood Center of the Palm Beaches, Inc. (Oakwood), will receive the remaining $198,179.40 for the renovation of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system at their facility located at 1041 45th Street in the City of West Palm Beach. They have received bids and awarded a construction contract for this work.  Approval of this Agreement will allow the work to proceed. The project has been delayed due to extensive engineering changes to address the aged equipment and the entire electrical distribution system, as well as due to changes to the asbestos abatement work plan. While the expired Agreement was in effect, Oakwood received bids for work on the entire building; however, funding constraints prevented the entire project from proceeding. A phased approach has been put in place that addresses the priorities. Phase 1 of the work which was bid and awarded separately will be implemented through this Agreement. Other phases will be addressed at a later date as funds become available. These are Federal Community Development Block Grant funds that require no local match. District 7 (TKF)

In order to include the adjustment of the valve boxes and ARV manhole within the road improvement project, FDOT requires PBCWUD to enter into a “Utility Work by Highway Contractor” Agreement to reimburse FDOT for the valve box and ARV manhole adjustments in the amount of $11,742.50 (lump sum).

19                    3CC-1                        MOVED TO REGULAR AGENDA (5B-1): Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Tourism Stimulus Marketing Campaign Report on the expenditure of Tourist Development (“bed tax”) revenues to support the marketing stimulus plans for the Convention Visitors Bureau (CVB) including Eco-Tourism, Cultural Council, Film and Television Commission and the Sports Commission. SUMMARY: On May 19, 2009, the Board approved the reallocation of $3 million of bed tax revenues to a TDC multi-agency tourism stimulus strategy to market Palm Beach County to fly and drive market travelers. The $3 million was allocated in the following areas:  the CVB/Eco-Tourism 74.89% for $2,246,700, the Cultural Council 15.78% for $473,500, the Sports Commission 4.91% for $147,300 and the Film & TV 4.42% for $132,500. The performance measures Palm Beach County experienced as of November 2009 through February 2010 were positive gains in occupancy levels year over year for each month. Attached (to the Agenda Item) is a summary of the Smith Travel Research report of our monthly performance statistics compared to the previous year. Countywide (MC) (TDC)

21                    5B-2                ADD-ON: Staff: 

 

A) requests board direction regarding the recommendation of the Tourist Development Council (TDC) to reduce the number of Board of County Commissioners appointments to the Palm Beach County Sports Commission Board of Directors from two (2) to one (1) appointee per Commissioner for a total of seven (7) BCC appointees; and

 

B) authorize an Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement (R2009-1594) dated  September 22, 2009 with Palm Beach County Sports Commission, Inc. whose Federal I.D. number is 65-0263296, (hereinafter referred to as “PBCSC”) to reflect BCC appointments and residency requirements.

SUMMARY:  Due to concerns regarding the governance and size of the PBCSC Board of Directors (BOD), the BOD reviewed the structure and size of their Board by evaluating the restructuring process the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) Board of Directors undertook in 2008.  That process reduced the overall number of members to the CVB’s BOD to 17 (not including 2 ex-officio members) which included one (1) appointment by each County Commissioner, other elected members and term limits.  At the April 8, 2010 TDC meeting, the Council voted unanimously (Burke and Moss absent) to recommend the BCC reduce each of their appointments by one (1) to the PBCSC BOD. Furthermore, staff recommends the BCC require all appointees to the PBCSC be residents of Palm Beach County.  Currently, there are four (4) members of the PBCSC BOD that are not residents of Palm Beach County.  If these positions are eliminated and the Board appoints only one (1) appointee per Commissioner the PBCSC BOD will stand at 17.  At this level, the PBCSC BOD will be equivalent to the CVB’s BOD.  Staff believes these changes would enhance the governance of the PBCSC BOD.  However, the PBCSC established an ad-hoc committee to review their by-laws and it’s recommending the BCC appointees would remain at 14 (as per the contract between the PBCSC and the BCC), with appointees equally divided among the BCC.  Their plan would reduce their board from 28 to 21 by FY 2012 including the resident requirement.
