loan agreements, the County requested that the Bank extend the maturity date
for each loan agreement for one year.
The Bank has agreed to extend the loan agreements for one year with all
other terms and conditions remaining unchanged.
The County will continue to pay an annual fee of .65% ($365,808) for the
letters of credit issued to satisfy the debt service reserve requirements under
the loan agreements. The County expects
to continue to renew the loan agreements each year. On January 26, 2012, the County Financing

Change Order No. 4 to the contract with Cedars Electro-Mechanical, Inc.
(R2010-1270) in the amount of $110,243 and a time extension of 60 days for the
Judicial Center Central Energy Plant (CEP) Chiller Replacement Project. SUMMARY:
The original scope of the
project consists of the planned renewal and replacement of four (4) 650
ton water cooled centrifugal type chillers which provide the air conditioning
to the Judicial Center and the State Attorney/Public Defender Buildings due to
age, condition, reliability and to switch refrigerant which has been out of
production since 1995. The project
originally included only replacement of three of the four electrical starters
for the chiller motors, as one of the existing starters was refurbished in 2009
after a severe failure. During construction it became evident the refurbished
starter would require multiple modifications in order to be compatible with the
new chillers. It was then determined
that replacement with a new starter would provide better reliability and a
longer life expectancy for the same cost.
As the chiller would not operate without a compatible starter and the
chiller is required to provide reliable chilled water to the Judicial Center,
the contractor has installed the new starter prior to Board of County
Commissioners’ approval in order to bring the CEP on line. The certainty of replacing the starter and
the time frame involved required an immediate decision in order to continue
with the work. All funding for this
project is ad valorem from the five (5) year Countywide Repair, Replacement and
Renovation account contingency line. The
SBE participation for the original contract is 100% and participation for the
Change Order is 100% resulting in a total of 99.9% to date. Cedars Electro-Mechanical,
Inc. is a Palm Beach County company. (Capital Improvements) District 7

A) a
Cross Access Easement Agreement with Noble Net Lease IIIC, LLC; and
B) a Shared Access Easement Agreement with
Noble Net Lease IIIC, LLC across County and Noble Net Lease IIIC, LLC,
properties located in unincorporated West Palm Beach.
SUMMARY: The
County was recently contacted by Noble Net Lease IIIC, LLC (NNL) regarding
property they purchased on the north side of Okeechobee Boulevard in
unincorporated West Palm Beach. The NNL site lies between the County’s
Okeechobee Library property on the east and the County’s vacant parcel on the
west, all of which are serviced by a frontage road off of Okeechobee Boulevard.
The Cross Access Easement will document the shared use of the frontage road
crossing the County’s property and, in turn, allow users of the County property
use of the frontage road over the NNL property.
In addition, an existing common driveway straddles both the vacant
County property and the NNL site. The Shared Use Easement will establish the common
rights of both the County and NNL regarding the use of the shared
driveway. The cross access easement area
on the County property is 50 feet wide, totals 437 feet in length, and covers
21,850 square feet (.50 acre). The Shared Access Easement runs 16’ to 32’ in
width, is a total of 210’ in length, and covers 6,336 square feet (.15
acre). The easements provide mutually
beneficial access to the properties and the local roadway network, and
encompass property which is already in use for the specified purposes. As such,
neither party is paying any compensation for the easements. Both easements will
be recorded to provide public notice of their existence. (PREM) District 2

AT&T’s existing communications facilities for the Jail property are
exhausted. In order to provide service
to the County’s new Jail, Eagle Academy, Palm Tran and existing Drug Farm
buildings, an additional communication cabinet is needed. AT&T requires an easement located near the
intersection of State Road 80 and State Road 15. The easement area is approximately 31’ wide
by 42’ long and contains 1,303 sq. ft. (0.03 acres). This non-exclusive easement is being granted

County’s continued use of approximately 10,990 SF of indoor and outdoor secured
vehicle storage for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office at an annual rate of
$95,793.22 ($8.72 per SF). SUMMARY: Since March 29, 2007, the County has leased
approximately 4,990 SF of indoor storage warehouse building and approximately
6,000 SF of a paved outdoor storage area within the Murphy Towing Complex
located at 6907 Southern Boulevard in unincorporated Palm Beach County for the
operation of both indoor and outdoor secured vehicle storage for PBSO. Tallman,
LLC, provides maintenance, repair and security of the site, and delivers,
places and moves up to fifty (50) vehicles a month for PBSO at no cost, while
complying with PBSO evidence handling requirements and the County’s Access to
Critical Facilities Procedures. This Third Amendment exercises the fourth
option to extend the term of the Lease Agreement for one (1) year to March 28,
2013, and deletes the rent adjustment provision thereby keeping the rent
constant at $95,793.22/year ($8.72 per SF). (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

with Neighborhood Renaissance, Inc. (NRI) to extend the deadline for the
construction and conveyance of five (5) homes from January 1, 2010, to December
31, 2013. SUMMARY: On October 21, 2008, the County entered into
a Conditional Grant Agreement with NRI (R2008-1870) to provide $375,000 in
State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) funds towards the
construction of five (5) homes.
According to the Mortgage and Promissory Note executed to secure these
funds, NRI was to have completed and conveyed these homes to County approved
homeowners whose incomes are at or below 60% of the area median income by
January 1, 2010. To date, NRI has been
able to convey one (1) of these homes to a County approved homeowner. NRI entered into lease-to-purchase agreements
for the remaining four (4) homes which were completed in 2008. Homebuyers for the remaining homes have had
difficulty obtaining private financing to complete their purchases of these
homes. In addition, the discontinuation
of funding from various down payment assistance programs has hindered progress
on these anticipated sales. NRI
continues to work with its lenders and homebuyers in an effort to meet its
obligations and has requested a time extension to December 31, 2013, to enable

A) approve a Satisfaction of Mortgage for Adopt-A-Family of
the Palm Beaches, Inc. (AAF); and
B) accept a Declaration of
Restrictions from AAF.
SUMMARY: On May 4, 1999, the County
entered into a Home Rental Program Assistance and Loan Agreement with AAF to
fund $424,286 in HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Program funds for the rehabilitation
of 37 units at 1736 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth, FL 33460. The facility has been in operation since 1997
and is the largest permanent supportive housing project for homeless families
in Palm Beach County. All of the
supportive housing facilities operated by AAF are reported to operate at
maximum capacity. The funding was
secured by a Mortgage and Security Agreement and a Promissory Note. One half of the funding was provided in the
form of a repayable loan to be paid over 15 years at three percent (3%)
interest for a total of $263,703.60 and the other half was provided as a
forgivable loan to be completely forgiven over 15 years. To date, AAF has made
a total of 52 payments totaling $76,181.04 leaving a remaining loan balance of
$187,522.56 provided the loan was not paid off early. The balance owed on the forgivable portion is
$63,642.90. The annual operating costs
for the facility are approximately $700,000.
AAF receives approximately $200,000 annually from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development towards operating costs. The total annual rental
income is less than $30,000. The
remaining $470,000 must be raised through private donations. Rising operating costs coupled with a decline
in private donations and Federal grants have prevented AAF from making
additional payments. AAF has requested the restructuring of the debt owed under
their Promissory Note. The restructured
debt converts the entire balance owed to a forgivable loan, places a restriction
on the property for an additional ten (10) years ending on December 31, 2024,
and requires its continued use as a supportive housing facility. Acceptance and
recording of the Declaration of Restrictions
will accomplish the aforesaid purposes in exchange for which the County will
provide a Satisfaction of Mortgage to remove the encumbrance and debt
obligations previously created by the Mortgage and Security Agreement. Staff is recommending approval due to the fact that
this facility is the largest family supportive housing facility in the County
and AAF has been a key homeless service provider in the community as well as in
helping to develop and implement the County’s Ten Year Plan to End
Homelessness. These are Federal HOME
Program grant funds which require no local match. (Contract Development) District

N. LIBRARY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Budget Transfer of 1,432,454 within
the Library Impact Fee Fund with $1,354,437 being transferred from the Belle
Glade Library project to the Acreage Library project and $78,017 being
transferred from Reserves to the Acreage Library Project;
B) a Budget Transfer of $1,432,454
within the 22.3M GO 06 Library District Improvement Bond Fund from the Acreage
Project with $1,354,437 being transferred to the Belle Glade Library project
and $78,017 being transferred to Reserves; and
C) an increase of the Acreage Library
project budget from $19,396,922 to $19,644,682, an increase of $247,760 from
Impact Fee reserves.
Summary: This agenda item reallocates impact fees and
bond funds being utilized for construction of two (2) library projects. On September 13, 2011, the Board of County
Commissioners approved an agenda item for construction of the Belle Glade
Library. The contract funding of
$6,099,651 included $1,354,437 from impact fees Zone 1. The balance of the funding was principally
from Library Expansion Bond funds. It
has been determined that Zone 1 impact fees can’t be used to fund this project
due to the project’s location outside the Zone 1 boundary. The Acreage Library project, which is also
under construction, is eligible for the use of Zone 1 impact fees. Approval of this item reallocates funding
previously approved for these two (2) projects from impact fees to bond funds
for the Belle Glade Library and from bond funds to impact fees for the Acreage
Library. This resolves the impact fee
issue with no net increase or decrease in project construction budgets. The final motion adds $247,760 for purchase
of Acreage Library opening day collections. These funds will be
administratively transferred by the Office of Financial Management & Budget
once sufficient impact fees have been collected. The Acreage Library project is
the final project in the Library Expansion Program II that qualifies for impact
fee funds. Countywide (AH)

wide and 1,300’ in length, and was acquired by Tax Deed in June 2001. It is
located within the Village’s municipal boundaries and has an assessed value of
$39,075. The property is being conveyed pursuant to Florida Statutes Section
197.592(3), which requires the conveyance of surplus property acquired by Tax
Deed to the municipality in which it is located. The property is being conveyed without obtaining
an appraisal. The subject property has been declared surplus and serves no
present or future County purpose. The
Village proposes to utilize the property to maintain the adjacent drainage
canal. The Department of Economic Sustainability has reviewed this conveyance
and has no objections. This conveyance
will relieve the County of potential liability for occurrences on this property
and also the cost of maintenance. The County
will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes
Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. All purchases, sales and exchanges of real estate must be approved by a
supermajority vote (5 Commissioners) pursuant to the PREM Ordinance. (PREM)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: selection of
the proposal submitted by Pope Farms, Inc. as the most responsive to RFP
2011-102-RCB for the lease of the 1900 +/- acre Mecca Property for
agricultural/farming purposes. SUMMARY: In December of 2011, Staff issued a
Request For Proposals (RFP) to lease the Mecca Property for farming and assume
responsibility for maintenance of the entire 1900 acre property, less the
approximately 10 acre Water Utilities site.
Maintenance of the property costs the County roughly $250,000/year. The initial term was limited to five (5)
years to preserve options for disposition of the property. Extension options were allowed, subject to
County approval. Three (3) responses to
the RFP were received: 1) Pope Farms; 2) Harvest Time Market and Hundley Farms;
and 3) Mecca Farms. Pope Farms proposed to lease 750 acres for five (5) years
with three (3) options to extend, each for five (5) years, with all options
subject to County approval. Pope Farms
proposes to grow sugar cane and pay rent at the rate of $200/acre farmed/year
($150,000/year). Both Harvest Time
Market/Hundley Farms and Mecca Farms proposed to pay $0 in rent during the
first five (5) years. Due to Pope’s rent
payment of $150,000/year during the first five (5) years, Staff determined it
to be the most responsive since options potentially resulting in a higher rent
over a longer term are not consistent with the County’s efforts to ultimately
dispose of the property. Staff reviewed
the financial structure of this proposal with bond counsel to ensure that
revenue received from this lease will not violate any IRS limitations on
private activity revenue under the bonds issued for acquisition and development
of the property. (PREM) District 1/Countywide (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to authorize: staff to negotiate
a lease of 1.75 acres of County property within Loggers’ Run Park with DROP IN
SK8PARK INC. (DISP) to construct and operate a Skate/BMX facility. Summary: The Board of Directors of DISP,
a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, is requesting that the County enter
into a no-cost long term lease agreement for 1.75 acres on the east side of
Loggers’ Run Park. DISP is proposing to construct
a skate and BMX facility utilizing the existing covered roller hockey rink and
adjoining area. DISP would bear all
costs for construction, operation, and maintenance of the facility with revenue
from user fees, lessons, foundation grants, fundraisers, and a pro shop. Once staff has negotiated the specific lease
arrangements with DISP, an agreement will be brought back to the Board for
consideration. District 5 (AH)

motion to approve: an
Interlocal Agreement with the Village of Palm Springs providing for the
annexation of 20 enclaves, generally located east of Kirk Road, north of Lake
Worth Road, west of Davis Road and south of Canal Road with Exhibit B and C as
amended. SUMMARY: The Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) has directed staff to work with municipalities to
strategically address annexations. Chapter 171, Florida Statutes (F.S.), allows
annexation of enclaves less than 10 acres through an Interlocal Agreement
between the annexing municipality and the County. By Resolution No. 2012-05, adopted on January
26, 2012, the Village of Palm Springs has petitioned
the County to enter into such an agreement for the annexation of 20 enclaves consisting of 47
parcels totaling 14.77 acres, as identified in
Exhibit A of the Interlocal Agreement. The Village has provided written notice
to all owners of real property located in the enclaves as shown in attachment 4
(of the Agenda Item). The Interlocal Agreement also provides for the
annexation of the right-of-way segments identified in Exhibit B (as amended) of the Interlocal Agreement; as well
as the transfer of operation and maintenance of the right-of-way segments
identified in Exhibit C (as amended) of the Interlocal
Agreement. Exhibit B is amended to remove Lake Worth Road as it is a State Road
and Exhibit C is amended to correct the segment’s name for Lakewood Road. The
annexation has been processed through the County’s review departments,
including Fire-Rescue, Sherriff Office, Engineering, Planning, Zoning,
Environmental Resources Management, Parks and Recreation, Water Utilities,
County Attorney, Property and Real Estate Management and the Office of
Financial Management and Budget. The proposed
annexation meets the requirements of Chapter 171, F.S., and is consistent with
the Intergovernmental Coordination Element of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. District

Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on March 20, 2012 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Ordinance 2009-001 Palm Beach County Amendments to the Florida Building Code, 2007 Edition, Chapter 1 “Administration” and Section and Figure 1609.1 Basic Wind Speed Map of Palm Beach County, Appendix F “Proposed Construction Building Codes for Turf and Landscape Irrigation Systems” of the 2007 Florida Building Code, Plumbing Volume, with Palm Beach County Amendments “Exhibit A” of Ordinance 2009-002, and Sub-Section 7-36(B) of Article III, Sections 7-52, 7-53 and 7-55 of Article IV, and Articles V, VII, VIII, X, And XI of the Palm Beach County Code of Ordinances; adopting the Palm Beach County Amendments to the Florida Building Codes (FBC) 2010 Edition Chapter 1 “Administration” (FBC-Building) and Flood and Wind Provisions (FBC-Building and Residential), and Appendix F “Construction Building Codes for Turf and Landscape Irrigation Systems” (FBC-Plumbing) with Palm Beach County Amendments, and Sub-Section 7-36(b) of Article III Palm Beach County Code of Ordinances; providing for applicability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for a savings clause; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Legislature adopted F.S. 553.73, mandating a Statewide Florida Building Code (FBC), and allowing local governments to adopt their own Administrative Chapter of the FBC, 2010 Edition, applicable in the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, and those municipalities having an Interlocal Agreement for the provision of County plan review and inspection services. Significant change in this administrative chapter is the ability to place a non- ad valorem assessment on a property for costs associated with abatement of unsafe buildings and other entities. This chapter is based upon recommendations of the Palm Beach County Building Code Advisory Board. Figures 1609 A, B, and C in the FBC are accurate for basic wind design to the County, and provides for local government to establish specific wind speed/wind borne debris lines using physical landmarks, whenever possible. As a result of landscape irrigation regulations adopted in the last code cycle, many cross connections of drinking water and irrigation systems have been abated, and proper water conservation designs have been implemented. Practical application brought forth some few areas where there was a redundancy of proper regulation. Those redundancies are being eliminated. The 2010 FBC will include flood resistant provisions applicable in flood hazard areas, a change from previous editions. The code refers to local floodplain management ordinances, that are required to be incorporated into the FBC 2010 Edition, in accordance with new legislation in 553.73, F.S. Unincorporated (AH)

motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) of Palm Beach County, Florida, granting a County tax
exemption for a total of one (1) historic property located within the City of
West Palm Beach; and
B) approve the restrictive covenant for the historic
property, requiring the qualifying improvements be maintained during the period
that the tax exemption is granted.
SUMMARY: The Resolution will authorize a County tax
exemption for the following historic property located within the City of West
Palm Beach:
Address: 420 - 28th
Street, West Palm Beach (Residential)
If
granted the tax exemption will take effect January 1, 2012, and remain in effect
for ten (10) years, or until December 31, 2021.
The exemption will apply to 100 percent of the assessed value of all
improvements to each historic property, which resulted from restoration,
renovation, or rehabilitation of the property. Based on the 2012 Countywide Millage Rate, it is
estimated that approximately $ 956 tax dollars will be exempted annually. Accompanying each resolution is a restrictive
covenant, which requires the qualifying improvements be maintained during the
period that each tax exemption is granted. District 7 (RB)

31 4A-1* REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to
approve: naming of the Central Palm
Beach County Homeless Resource Center as the Senator Phillip Philip
D. Lewis Center effective with the opening of the facility. Summary: Senator
Phillip Philip D. Lewis was one of the original members of the
Homeless Advisory Board and has been an active participant on several key
sub-committees. He was also instrumental
in obtaining funding for initial efforts of homeless planning and development
of the Homeless Resource Center. Senator Lewis served in the Florida
State Senate for ten years and was Senate President 1979-1980. The Homeless Advisory Board and the Board of
the Homeless Coalition are recommending the naming of the County’s first
Homeless Resource Center to be the Senator
Phillip Philip D. Lewis Center in recognition of his tireless
efforts on behalf of the homeless residents of Palm Beach County. This naming
will be an exception to Countywide PPM No. CW-O-044(A) which requires County
facilities to be named according to location and/or function. Staff has concluded that the exception is
appropriate and justified in this case and is within the authority of the Board
of County Commissioners. Countywide (TKF) (Admin)

36 4F-4 ADD-ON:
Staff recommends motion to approve:
a Consent For Annexation into the Village of Wellington of two (2) parcels
owned by Palm Beach County, generally located west of State Road 7 and north of
Forest Hill Blvd. SUMMARY: The Village of Wellington has requested the
voluntary annexation of two county-owned properties totaling approximately 25
acres as described in Attachment A. These County-owned properties are part of
the Village’s planned Medical Arts District and are located west of State Road
7 and north of Forest Hill Blvd as identified in Attachment B (of the Agenda
Item). By signing the Consent for Annexation, Palm Beach County does not
transfer ownership rights for the parcels, but rather consents to the
properties being annexed into, and included within, the municipal boundary of
the Village of Wellington. The County approved a Constrained Roadways at Lower
Level Service designation (CRALLS) for this area, conditioned upon three major
actions occurring. Annexation is one of
the three actions. This annexation is consistent with the requirement of the
utilization of the CRALLS as stated in the County’s Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Element Objective 1.2-44.d(1) “No County Traffic Performance Standards approval letter, development
order or permit that is dependent on this CRALLS shall be issued unless and/or
until: 1) all unincorporated properties located on the west side of State Road
7 between Old Hammock Way to the north and Forest Hill Boulevard to the south
are annexed into Wellington”. The
annexation has been processed through the County’s review departments,
including Fire Rescue, Engineering, Planning, Zoning, Environmental Resources
Management, Parks and Recreation, Water Utilities, County Attorney, Property
and Real Estate Management and the Office of Financial Management and Budget
Departments. None of the departments are
opposed to the annexation. The proposed annexation meets the requirements of
Chapter 171, F.S., and is consistent with the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element, Objective 1.4, of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. District 6
