1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to (R2005-0483)
Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc. and J&S Analysis, Inc. (FTT) Job Growth

dates by 24 months. SUMMARY: The
original Agreement (R2005-0483) required FTT to create fifty (50) full-time
jobs by December 31, 2007. Due to the downturn in the economy, FTT did not
create the required jobs until December 31, 2009. FTT is in the County’s
Aerospace Cluster Industry and exceeded the job creation goals (71 FTEs in
2009) and continues their expansion efforts.
Florida Turbine Technologies specializes in the engineering,
development, and testing of gas turbines, propulsion components, turbopumps,
and systems for military and commercial aircraft, space propulsion, and
industrial applications including clean power generation and oil and gas. District 1 (DW)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Job Growth Incentive (JGI) Grant Agreement
in the amount of $210,000 as a portion of the required local match for a State

GARDA USA, INC. (GARDA);
B) a Budget Transfer of $210,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves
to the Economic Development JGI Program; and
C) a Budget Amendment of $210,000 to the Economic Development Office Fund to
recognize and appropriate the transfer of funds from the General Fund
Contingency Reserves.
SUMMARY: On January
11, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution (R2011-0078)
supporting a JGI Grant in the amount of $210,000 as a portion of the local match
for a State QTI and Quick Action Closing Fund with GARDA. GARDA has finalized their relocation plans
and desires to enter into a formal agreement with the County. The Agreement
requires the company to create 100 jobs by December 31, 2013, with an average
wage of $65,769, excluding benefits. The
Regional Economic Model, Inc. results estimate that GARDA will have a $44
million economic impact over a five (5) year period, generating $3 million in
Federal, State and local taxes. Palm
Beach County’s economic development incentive will be payable over a period of
six (6) years. The standard JGI contract language was modified in order to
streamline the contract. Funding will
come from General Fund Contingency Reserves. District 4 (DW)

OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Budget Transfer of $960,000 from the $16,500,000 Capital Improvement Bond Anticipation Note (BAN), Series 2009 (Four Points and Other Public Buildings) Capital Fund to reimburse the Public Building Improvement Fund for project expenditures made prior to the issuance of the BAN; and
B) Budget Amendment of $960,000 in the Public Building Improvement Fund to
record the transfer of funds from the $16,500,000 Capital Improvement Bond
Anticipation Note, Series 2009 (Four Points and Other Public Buildings) Capital

2. Staff recommends motion to approve: donation of a VHF antennae and 200 feet of a 7/8th inch transmission cable (Equipment) to the Jupiter-Tequesta Repeater Group, Inc. (JTRG), a Florida non-profit corporation. SUMMARY: On December 20, 2010, JTRG requested that the County return to JTRG the Equipment located on the radio communications tower (Tower) at the former Fire Station No. 14 in Jupiter Farms Park, which is slated to be removed from the Tower in conjunction with the County’s microwave upgrade project. Upon investigation, Staff determined that in 1989, the County installed the original Equipment that JTRG claims ownership of; however, the County has been unable to verify whether the original Equipment was subsequently replaced by JTRG. Staff has confirmed that the Equipment has never been used for County purposes and is not maintained by the County. Furthermore, the County has no current or future use for the Equipment. Staff was able to price the replacement cost of the Equipment as if it were purchased in 2002/2003 at $1,647.30. Since the original Equipment was purchased prior to 2002/2003 and based upon ordinary wear and tear and the depreciation, Staff has determined that the Equipment currently has no commercial value. In light of the circumstances, Staff recommends that the County remove the Equipment from the Tower at the time that the County begins its microwave system upgrade project and donate it to JTRG in its “as is” condition. If the Board approves this donation, FDO Staff will complete the necessary paperwork to dispose of this asset at the time of transfer to JTRG. In the event of damage or loss to the Equipment prior to the transfer, the County will have no obligations to JTRG, as JTRG has been unable to provide the County with evidence of title to the Equipment.

3. Staff recommends motion to approve: Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 1 with Leo A. Daly Company (R2011-0112) in the amount of $199,767 for design services for Main Detention Center Video Visitation System. SUMMARY: On April 25, 2006, the Board approved the Jail Expansion Program II (JEP) which includes the implementation of a Video Visitation System (VVS). The public will use the new Central Video Visitation Center adjacent to the Stockade to visit with inmates at the new West Detention Center and the Main Detention Center on Gun Club Road. CSA No. 1 authorizes design services for the final phase which is the installation of inmate VVS kiosks at the Main Detention Center.

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, urging the
Legislature of the State of Florida to enact a ban on large capacity ammunition
feeding devices including a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device
that has the capacity of, or can be readily restored or converted to accept,
more than 21 rounds of ammunition. This ban includes the transfer, possession,
or manufacturing of such devices in the State of Florida. SUMMARY: The federal ban on large
capacity ammunition feeding devices (LCAFD) and Semi-Automatic Weapons expired
on September 13, 2004. Since that time, several states have enacted bans on
LCAFD because of their potential to inflict tremendous harm such as the
tragedies in Tucson, Arizona, and Columbine, Colorado. Studies have shown that
bans on LCAFD significantly reduced the capacity and lethality of a firearm.
Therefore, the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County urges the
Legislature to consider and support legislation that would ban LCAFD with a
capacity of 21-rounds or greater. Countywide (DW)
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the submittal of a
$10,000,000 Section 108 Federal Loan Application to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD);
B) approve a Budget Amendment of $10,000,000 in the
Economic Development Fund to appropriate the loan and recognize the revenue;
and
C) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to
sign all documents related to the loan application.
SUMMARY: This Application will increase the
allocation of federal funds from HUD by $10,000,000, enable Palm Beach County
to continue offering funding to businesses as a way of creating economic
vitality and new jobs in the County area and ensure the continuity of the Program.
The current loan fund balance of $5,365,000 is expected to be disbursed in less
than one year to eligible business projects currently being considered for
approval, and are under revision. The Palm Beach County Section 108 Program was
developed to create a source of loan funding for use by businesses, investors,
community and non-profit organizations, and economic development organizations
to implement business ventures that will create new jobs and help revitalize
communities. To date, 586 jobs have been created with a total investment of
$38,392,388. No County funds will be
pledged to complete any project funded by a Section 108 loan. These are Federal
funds which do not require a local match. Countywide (DW)

the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter
4 of the Palm Beach County Code (Ordinance 98-22, as amended by ordinances
2001-065, 2003-27, 2005-44, 2008-004, and 2009-019), amending Section 4-2

shop, grooming parlor, and commercial stable permits); amending Section 4-24
(animal care; manner of keeping); amending Section 4-27 (dangerous dogs and
vicious dogs); amending Section 4-29 (hobby breeder permits); amending Section

provisions pertaining to animal establishments; requires all guard dogs
services and individuals using guard dogs to obtain a permit, to comply with
registration requirements, and to provide guard dogs with a humane existence;
revises definitions; prohibits the tethering of animals as a means of

2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida amending Resolution No. R2008-0448 to increase
and/or adjust the following operating fees: veterinarian handling fee; increase
the senior citizen 25% discount dog and cat license fee from age 65 to age 70;
electronic microchip I.D. implant fee; and private euthanasia fee. SUMMARY: It
is necessary to amend the schedule of fees and fines utilized by the Division
of Animal Care and Control (ACC) to:
increase the veterinarian handling fee from $2 to $5; increase the age
from 65 years to 70 years for the senior citizens discount of twenty-five
percent (25%) for all regular dog and cat license tags purchased; set the electronic microchip I.D. implant fee for
sterilized feral cats at $5, for sterilized dogs/cats at $10, and for
non-sterilized dogs/cats at $20; increase the euthanasia fees for privately
owned animals excluding livestock from $30 to $50. The ACC Director may waive
the fee to euthanize an animal if the owner is indigent. In order to increase
adoptions, the ACC Director may also waive adoption fees on adult cats. The
veterinarian handling fee increase is to allow veterinarians to be fairly
compensated for the documentation necessary for selling County Rabies
Tags. Veterinarians might be encouraged to
sell additional tags for the extra $3 handling fee. The senior citizen discount
age is increased in an attempt to enhance revenue to help offset rising
operating costs. The remaining two (2) fee
increases (microchip and euthanasia) are an attempt to offset rising medical costs.
It is anticipated there will be a cost savings of $10,000 in operating expenses
(postage & overtime) due to fewer tag billings by ACC, (the tags will be purchased
up front at the veterinarian offices) and additional revenue of $50,000 for the
fee revisions and additional tag sales. If the Board approves the resolution,
the revised fees and changes will be effective April 1, 2011. Countywide

D. PALM TRAN
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) an increase to transfer fares effective April
3, 2011 for customers traveling between Palm Tran buses and South Florida
Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) trains, and between Palm Tran buses
and Broward County Transit (BCT) buses; and
B) an upward Budget Amendment of $100,000 in
the Palm Tran Operations Fund.
Summary: Currently, Tri-Rail riders with a valid
SFRTA pass can transfer to/from Palm Tran buses at a significant discount over
normal fares to encourage transit usage. A SFRTA customer at a SFRTA station,
can now board Palm Tran buses free. Presently,
when SFRTA customers board a bus on a route that serves a SFRTA station, they
pay $.50. Customers must present a SFRTA pass or ticket upon boarding the bus
with a valid use date to receive this discount.
Tri-Rail has begun using new “smart-card” technology for all tickets and
passes. This EasyCard uses electronic
media that cannot be accepted in the farebox systems that both Palm Tran and
BCT use. The new pass does not provide
any visible indication as to whether it is a valid pass. Tri-Rail has told
their customers that they must present to the driver their purchased pass
receipt in order to be afforded the discount.
Palm Tran and BCT expect that the use of the EasyCard as it is currently designed will lead to significant fare
abuse and revenue loss.
Staff recommends modifying the existing transfer policy/fare structure
to control the abuse of the EasyCard. While there are several options, staff
recommends that we modify the transfer charge that a person boarding at a SFRTA
station bus stop who has an EasyCard
and a fare receipt/transfer would be charged $.50. This would provide the
customer with a $1 discount. Boarding’s
at any other location would be charged regular fare ($1.50). The amount of
discount would be consistent with what SFRTA allows Palm Tran customers
boarding the train with a Palm Tran bus pass.
We would recommend that passengers transferring from BCT buses to Palm
Tran also be charged $.50, which is currently collected by BCT and Miami Dade
for their transfers. Countywide (DR)

SUMMARY: On September 11, 2010, the Department
of Housing and Community Development issued a Request for Proposals
(HCDNSP2.2010.1) (RFP) for the County’s NSP2 Neighborhood Rental Redevelopment
Loan Program (NRRLP) to distribute $11,946,934. A total of seven (7) proposals
were received, of which five (5) were deemed responsive and forwarded to the
Selection Committee. Notice of the results of the responsiveness review was
provided directly to all respondents and was posted on Housing and Community
Development’s (HCD) website with notice of the Committee meeting. A Selection
Committee consisted of five (5) voting members and two (2) non-voting advisory
members, met at a public meeting held on February 7, 2011. The Committee ranked
the proposals based on the criteria established in the RFP. As a result of that
public process, the Selection Committee recommended that the following two (2)
entities be awarded funding as follows:
1.
Westgate Plaza Apartments, Ltd. in the amount of $6,100,000 for the
construction of 80 new affordable multi-family rental units in Westgate by
Landmark Development Corp.
2.
Colonial Lakes Apartments, Ltd. in the amount of $5,846,934 for the
construction of 120 new affordable multi-family units in unincorporated
Greenacres by The Richman Group of Florida.
NRRLP loans
are to be 30-year fixed rate (2.0% APR) and cash flow dependent with all unpaid
principal and interest due upon expiration of the loan term, or upon cessation
of the properties’ use for specified NSP2 purposes. Both developers are
required to expend fifty percent (50%) of the awarded funds by December 15,
2011 in order to meet Federal criteria. Authorization of the County
Administrator, or his designee, to execute loan agreements with the
owners/developers of the above-listed projects will expedite implementation of
the NRRLP and the County’s ability to meet expenditure deadlines. These

is prohibited, including schools, any meeting of the governing body of a county,
law enforcement stations, courthouses, and polling locations; however, there is

the County in employing the City’s former firefighters. Beginning in FY2014, the City is obligated to
contribute $1.3 million annually as the supplemental payment. This obligation continues as long as the City
remains in the Fire/Rescue MSTU, even if the contract expires or is earlier
terminated. The City realized an annual savings of $2.6 million at the time
they abolished their fire department, or $1.9 million net of the supplemental
payment obligation. The current fiscal impact to the County associated with
providing service to the City is $3.7 million over revenue. Staff does not
recommend modification of either Interlocal agreement. Countywide
