29 3Q-1 REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to: A) receive and file a Grant Adjustment Notice from Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE); B)..C)..D)..E)..F)…G)…SUMMARY: The criminal Justice Commission is requesting to reinstate the original Interlocal Agreement terms, extending the end date to September 30, 2012, and reallocating a total amount of $98,500 to the four (4) above named cities. The Department of Justice, OJJDP, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) approved six month extensions of the two (2) above named grants to December 12 31, 2012, and September 30, 2012, respectively due to unexpended funds. A portion of the funding, $29,500 previously allocated to the City of Lake Worth, and $69,000 of unexpended 2010 FDLE Justice Assistance Grant funds are being reallocated. Lake Worth has been unable to meet expected outcomes due to failure to hire a case manager in a timely manner. Reallocation of funds is being recommended as follows: West Palm Beach $10,000; Boynton Beach $20,000; Riviera Beach $45,000; and Belle Glade $23,500. There is no match requirement with this grant. Countywide (PGE) (CJC)

39 5A-1 REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion for conceptual approval: of negotiation terms regarding a proposed land exchange agreement with the South Florida Water Management District for the Mecca Farms site in Palm Beach County to be brought back to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners for review and approval. SUMMARY: On May 23, 2012, the South Florida Water Management District submitted a letter of intent to Palm Beach County confirming their interest in negotiating with the County for the acquisition of the Mecca Farms site. The District is requesting fee title to the approximately 1,919 acre property less an agreed amount of County right-of-way.  In exchange for this property, preliminary negotiations would transfer approximately 1,495 acres in District land with an assessed value of approximately $24.66 million to the County plus a cash payment of $30 million. Additionally, existing leases on the District property will generate $305,000 in income per year and it is possible some parcels could be sold. Mecca Farms currently costs the County approximately $250,000 a year to secure and maintain, in addition to debt service payments. The debt payment is approximately $6.5 million per year from 2012-2015, approximately $3.8 million per year for the ten years of 2016-2025, and approximately $610,000 per year for the reaming remaining three (3) years of debt service. Proceeds from this sale would be used to offset future debt service requirements. Although the County still owes about $45 million in principal on the Mecca Farms acquisition and other costs associated with its purchase under the terms of the bond obligation, the debt would not need to be paid off before swapping the land. The County has begun the due diligence process of appraising the land included within this exchange. Countywide (HF) (Admin/Legislative Affairs)

40 5D-1 DELETED: Staff recommends a motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on September 11, 2012, at 9:30a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 11, Article VII, of the Palm Beach County Code, known as the Palm Beach County Regional Hazardous Materials Response Ordinance of 1998 (codifying Ordinance 98-13, as amended); amending Sections 11-130, 11-132, and 11-133, of the Palm Beach County Code, relating to the Oversight Committee, the Technical Review Team, cost recovery, use of recovery funds, and penalties; providing for applicability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing for captions; providing for an effective date. (Fire Rescue) (Further Staff Review)

45 5I-2 REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff requests Board direction: on the approval of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale (“Agreement”) with Transit Village, LLC (“TV”) for certain interests in the County-owned real property commonly known as the Wedge and located within the City of West Palm Beach’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District, subject to FTA and FDOT approval of the terms of this Agreement. SUMMARY: In response to the Board’s concerns expressed at the July 10^th meeting, TV has agreed to increase the purchase price from $100,000 to $3.6 Million which is equal to the price the County paid for the property. The acquisition was funded by a Federal grant and local match in the following amounts: FTA $2,880,000 (80%), FDOT $361,500 (10%), West Palm Beach $180,750 (5%), and County $180,750 (5%). The This Agreement requires FTA and FDOT approval of all terms of the Agreement as a precondition to closing of the sale The sale of the property will provide. FTA and/or FDOT the right to require could condition their approval upon repayment of the grant funding, which Staff believes is likely. As a condition of TV offering to increase the purchase price, TV required the Agreement to be modified to transfer responsibility for grant repayment from TV to the County up to the amount of the purchase price. The net effect of these changes on revenue to be received by the County is likely minimal. While TV does not believe repayment will be required, TV is protecting itself against having to pay twice. Some Board members also questioned the intensity of the Project. At this revised price, TV is does not willing want to further reduce the proposed development intensity. Pursuant to the Agreement, TV will develop a transit oriented development (“Project”) over and adjacent to the County’s Intermodal Transit Center (ITC). TV has six (6) years to commence construction (interim milestones apply) on the Project of up to; 1) 12,500 SF of civic uses, 2) 400,000 SF of commercial/office, 3) 375 hotel rooms, 4) 150 residential units (student/workforce/market), 5) 150 luxury residential units and 6) 75,000 SF of amenity retail. The four (4) critical objectives of the Request for Proposals (RFP) leading up to the Agreement were to: 1) protect the operation of the ITC, 2) ensure that County would not assume any financial risk or liability associated with the development of the Project, 3) ensure that the Project would not consume more than its share of the public infrastructure available for, or otherwise burden, the remainder of the development of the TOD, and 4) fulfill the County’s obligations to the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) with respect to parking. The Agreement is legally sufficient and can be approved today to move this project forward. The appraised values ranged from $350,000 to negative $5,000,000 under the sales comparison approach and both appraisals deemed the Project infeasible utilizing the discounted sell-out/land residual valuation approach. This Agreement must be approved by supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (FDO) Countywide (HJF) (FDO)

2. Staff recommends motion to approve and accept: a $7,000 lump sum payment and a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as part of a criminal plea agreement reached in State of Florida vs. Sylvia Sharps, Case No.: 2011CF009876AMB, and waive a deficiency judgment, if any. SUMMARY: The County is the servicer and owner of the first and second notes and mortgages in the amount of $188,100 and $24,700 respectively, loaned through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, administered by the Department of Economic Sustainability. Contemporaneous with the default on her repayable loan payments, Sylvia Sharps was criminally charged with one count of “Organized Scheme to Defraud” and one count of “Obtaining Mortgage by Fraud.” Rather than file a separate civil foreclosure action and incur additional costs related thereto, the County cooperated with the State Attorney’s prosecution of Ms. Sharps in an effort to get the property back as part of a criminal plea agreement. Staff therefore recommends that acceptance of a $7,000 lump sum payment and a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as part of the criminal plea agreement against Sylvia Sharps is in the County’s best interests.

No further renewals are available after ten (10) years as prescribed by UPAP. However, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (Board) recognized the impact the downturn in the economy was having on development in the Board and approved a one (1) year extension of these Agreements on January 13, 2009 (Agenda Item 3K-1).

A. ADMINISTRATION

1. REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion for conceptual approval: of negotiation terms regarding a proposed land exchange agreement with the South Florida Water Management District for the Mecca Farms site in Palm Beach County to be brought back to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners for review and approval. SUMMARY: On May 23, 2012, the South Florida Water Management District submitted a letter of intent to Palm Beach County confirming their interest in negotiating with the County for the acquisition of the Mecca Farms site. The District is requesting fee title to the approximately 1,919 acre property less an agreed amount of County right-of-way.  In exchange for this property, preliminary negotiations would transfer approximately 1,495 acres in District land with an assessed value of approximately $24.66 million to the County plus a cash payment of $30 million. Additionally, existing leases on the District property will generate $305,000 in income per year and it is possible some parcels could be sold. Mecca Farms currently costs the County approximately $250,000 a year to secure and maintain, in addition to debt service payments.  The debt payment is approximately $6.5 million per year from 2012-2015, approximately $3.8 million per year for the ten years of 2016-2025, and approximately $610,000 per year for the reaming remaining three (3) years of debt service. Proceeds from this sale would be used to offset future debt service requirements. Although the County still owes about $45 million in principal on the Mecca Farms acquisition and other costs associated with its purchase under the terms of the bond obligation, the debt would not need to be paid off before swapping the land. The County has begun the due diligence process of appraising the land included within this exchange. Countywide (HF)

Chapter 171, Florida Statutes (F.S.), allows annexation of enclaves less than ten (10) acres through an Interlocal Agreement between the annexing municipality and the County. By Resolution No. 2012-60, adopted on July 26, 2012, the Village of Palm Springs has petitioned the County to enter into such an agreement for the annexation of nine (9) enclaves consisting of 17 parcels totaling 4.33 acres, as identified in Exhibit A of the Interlocal Agreement.

H. PUBLIC SAFETY

1. Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on September 11, 2012 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, pertaining to refueling assistance for persons with disabilities; providing for the creation of a new section of the Code of Ordinances of Palm Beach County, Florida; providing for authority; providing for a title; providing for purpose; providing for definitions; providing for accessibility; providing for prohibited conduct; providing for filing of complaints; providing for enforcement and penalties; providing for severability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions, and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) has contacted counties throughout the State of Florida requesting they enhance state legislation that would require service stations/convenience stores with at least two or more attendants on duty to prominently display their store phone number to advise the handicap community they will provide refueling assistance to disabled motorists upon request. According to the PVA, typically because no phone numbers are displayed, a disabled motorist has to obtain assistance by honking their horn or otherwise signaling the attendant in order to refuel their vehicles. The ADA requires gas stations to provide refueling assistance upon request of a person with a disability if there is more than one attendant on duty.  In addition, Florida Statute Section 526.141 mandates every full-service gas station with two or more attendants on duty be required to dispense gasoline to any motor vehicle properly displaying a handicap parking permit or license plate. The statute also requires the station to prominently display a decal no larger than eight (8) square inches on the front of all self-service pumps clearly indicating this requirement; however, it does not require the posting of a phone number. PVA is requesting a telephone number be displayed and the decal size be increased to 15 square inches (3X5) so that disabled motorists could call for assistance without exiting their cars. Hillsborough, Broward and Miami have adopted similar ordinances. Approximately 20% of the 450-500 gasoline stations/distributors would be required to meet this Ordinance requirement. This Ordinance would be enforced utilizing our county funded consumer affairs mediation/investigative personnel. Countywide (PGE)

2. Staff recommends motion to approve: reopening 12 vacant treatment beds at Highridge Family Center (HRFC) in order to reduce the waiting list which, at times, has reached as high as 100 youths. This would be accomplished at no additional cost (other than minor food cost) through the re-assignment, restructuring, and re-training of staff from the Youth Service Bureau. SUMMARY: Since the closure in 2008 of the two (2) dormitories (24 beds) at the Highridge Family Center for budgetary and low census reasons, there has been a consistent waiting list. At one point, there were 100 youths on the waitlist with 75 of them male and 25 female. While there are seasonal fluctuations in requesting these services, a consistent waitlist is not uncommon. The HRFC provides families with high quality comprehensive family services counseling to prevent “at risk” children from entering the Juvenile Justice System. At the one year follow up, 91.7% of the youths that completed our program had not been arrested as evidenced by preliminary study results of six (6) years of program participants (2003-2009). Furthermore, at the end of treatment, parents reported a decrease in aggression, behavior conduct problems, and hyperactivity; and, an increase in social skills, leadership, and communication. Parents have also reported children completing the treatment program have significantly improved their school grades during the 90 day program. By reassigning and restructuring the Division of Youth Affairs, staff will be able to support the additional males that will be placed in the 12 beds. Countywide (PGE)

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the reconveyance to the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) of the County’s interest in 0.30 acres of real property located in unincorporated Delray without charge and without reservation of mineral and petroleum rights; and

B) approve a County Deed in favor of the Lake Worth Drainage District, a Special Taxing District of the State of Florida.

SUMMARY: In 1950, the Lake Worth Drainage District conveyed approximately ten (10) acres of property to the County comprising large portions of the lake on the east side of Lake Ida Park. It appears that either the legal description of the property did not accurately track the shoreline, or over time some of the residential lots abutting the lake were filled out into the lake. Vickie Garland, Ethel Ivory, & The Resurrection Trust (collectively, Garland) own a 0.34 acre lot at 1516 Lake Drive, Delray Beach which abuts the lake, but is separated from the lake by a 66´ x 200´ (13, 215 SF) upland strip of the property the County acquired from LWDD. The County has no use for this property as it is separated from the Park. This parcel is essentially the lake frontage of Garland’s backyard. The Deed from LWDD contained a restriction that the property be used for park purposes and included a reverter. Staff asked LWDD if it would release the restriction and allow the County to sell the property to Garland. LWDD declined. Garland subsequently informed LWDD that the property was not being used as a park, and requested a conveyance of the property from LWDD. On March 2, 2012, LWDD requested that the County acknowledge the reversion and reconvey the property to LWDD as the property is no longer being used for its intended purpose. This County Deed is being granted to LWDD in recognition of LWDD’s reverter rights and will allow title to be transferred from LWDD to Garland. The County will not retain mineral and petroleum rights as provided for in Florida Statutes Section 270.11. All purchases, sales and exchanges of real estate must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners) pursuant to the PREM Ordinance. (PREM) District 4 (HJF)

2. REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff requests Board direction: on the approval of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale (“Agreement”) with Transit Village, LLC (“TV”) for certain interests in the County-owned real property commonly known as the Wedge and located within the City of West Palm Beach’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) District, subject to FTA and FDOT approval of the terms of this Agreement. SUMMARY: In response to the Board’s concerns expressed at the July 10^th meeting, TV has agreed to increase the purchase price from $100,000 to $3.6 Million which is equal to the price the County paid for the property. The acquisition was funded by a Federal grant and local match in the following amounts: FTA $2,880,000 (80%), FDOT $361,500 (10%), West Palm Beach $180,750 (5%), and County $180,750 (5%). The This Agreement requires FTA and FDOT approval of all terms of the Agreement as a precondition to closing of the sale The sale of the property will provide. FTA and/or FDOT the right to require could condition their approval upon repayment of the grant funding, which Staff believes is likely. As a condition of TV offering to increase the purchase price, TV required the Agreement to be modified to transfer responsibility for grant repayment from TV to the County up to the amount of the purchase price. The net effect of these changes on revenue to be received by the County is likely minimal. While TV does not believe repayment will be required, TV is protecting itself against having to pay twice. Some Board members also questioned the intensity of the Project. At this revised price, TV is does not willing want to further reduce the proposed development intensity. Pursuant to the Agreement, TV will develop a transit oriented development (“Project”) over and adjacent to the County’s Intermodal Transit Center (ITC). TV has six (6) years to commence construction (interim milestones apply) on the Project of up to; 1) 12,500 SF of civic uses, 2) 400,000 SF of commercial/office, 3) 375 hotel rooms, 4) 150 residential units (student/workforce/market), 5) 150 luxury residential units and 6) 75,000 SF of amenity retail. The four (4) critical objectives of the Request for Proposals (RFP) leading up to the Agreement were to: 1) protect the operation of the ITC, 2) ensure that County would not assume any financial risk or liability associated with the development of the Project, 3) ensure that the Project would not consume more than its share of the public infrastructure available for, or otherwise burden, the remainder of the development of the TOD, and 4) fulfill the County’s obligations to the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) with respect to parking. The Agreement is legally sufficient and can be approved today to move this project forward. The appraised values ranged from $350,000 to negative $5,000,000 under the sales comparison approach and both appraisals deemed the Project infeasible utilizing the discounted sell-out/land residual valuation approach. This Agreement must be approved by supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (FDO) Countywide (HJF)
