TITLE: Proclamation declaring
March 2012 2013 as “Palm Beach County Ethics Awareness Month.”
6 2C-7 ADD-ON: Proclamation declaring February 2013 as
“National African-American History Month” in Palm Beach County. (Sponsored by
Commissioner Taylor)
18 3K-3 REVISED SUMMARY: On November 28,
2012, one bid was received for the GUA City of Pahokee Inflow and Infiltration
Improvements - Phase III Project. JCC Enterprises Labor, Inc. was the only
responsive responsible bidder in the amount of $248,650. The project is funded
by the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) through
the Disaster Recovery Initiative Program. The project is
subject to a 22.4% minority participation goal and a 6.9% female participation
goal for trades rather than the County’s SBE goals. This Contract with JCC
Enterprises Labor, Inc. provides for 100% participation. The prime contractor
is M/WBE (100% minority and 0% female participation). Staff recommends award to JCC Enterprises
Labor, Inc. based upon good faith efforts approved by DEO. Local Preference
Ordinance is not applicable to this federally funded project. JCC Enterprises
Labor, Inc. is not a local Palm Beach County company. This project is contingent upon final approval by
the DEO. These are federal funds and require no local match. (WUD
Project No. 12-049) District 6 (JM) (WUD)
22 3L-4 REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to: A) approve Amendment No. 1 to the
Primary Contract for the Palm Beach County Annual Artificial Reef and
Breakwater Project No. 2012ERM01 (R2012-0640) with The Vance Construction
Company (Vance) to increase the Contract by $105,876 at a not-to-exceed amount
of $1,143,755 for Year One and extend the Contract for one year adding a
not–to-exceed amount of $1,037,878; B)
approve Amendment No. 1 to the Secondary Contract for the Palm Beach County
Annual Artificial Reef and Breakwater Project No. 2012ERM01 (R2012-0641) with
Center Marine Contracting LLC (Center Marine) to extend the Contract for one
year to May 1, 2014; C)
authorize Vance to build Phase 2 of the John’s Island Oyster Reef
(Project) for an amount not to exceed $765,175 $765,059 under
Work Order No. 4 0640-4, in accordance with Vance’s Annual
Artificial Reef & Breakwater Project No. 2012ERM01 Contract (R2012-0640); and
D) authorize the County
Administrator, or his designee, to sign Work Order No. 4 0640-4
for the Project. SUMMARY: On May 1, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners approved two annual
construction contracts for the Palm Beach County Artificial Reef and Breakwater
Project No. 2012ERM01 (R2012-0640 - 0641) to Vance and Center Marine,
respectively. Including Work Order No.
4 0640-4 Vance will have been issued four work orders totaling
$1,143,755; Center Marine has not been issued any work order to date. Amendment
No. 1 will increase the amount of work for the Vance Contract (R2012-0640) by
$105,876 and will allow the Project to be completed within the contract
period. Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
goals of 15.86% as set forth in the Vance Contract and 60.84% as set forth in
the Center Marine Contract will remain in effect. Including Work Order No. 4
0640-4, Vance’s SBE participation will be 17.19%. Funding for the Project is supported by a
Florida Inland Navigation District grant, County Vessel Registration fees and
the Manatee Protection Program. Countywide (SF) (ERM)
33 5B-2 DELETED: Staff
recommends motion to approve: a Second Amendment to the Third Restated
Agreement (R2004-0257) with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County…(FDO) (Historical Society has withdrawn the request)
33 5B-3 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment
Number Three to Lease Agreement with Regions
Financial Tower, LLLP (R2001-0483). SUMMARY: The Tourist Development Council (TDC) and related agencies
occupy 19,700 SF of space in the Regions Financial Tower on Palm
Beach Lakes Boulevard. On June 19, 2012,
the Board provided direction to relocate TDC to the Airport Center
Building 2 when the balance
of funding for renovation of Building 2 becomes
available. To accommodate TDC in the interim, this Amendment
Number Three extends the term of the Lease for three years from August
1, 2014 until July 31, 2017.
The stated gross annual
rental rate will remain
unchanged at $483,438 ($24.54/SF).
All other terms of the Lease remain unchanged. The extension of the
Lease is the most cost effective way to meet TDC’s interim space requirements
and is in the best interest of the County. (PREM) Countywide (HJF) (FDO)
36 5F-1
REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve:
the creation of one full-time grant funded position… Summary: In order
to implement the numerous Federal, State and County economic, housing and
community development grant and loan programs, DES is required to prepare and
monitor various agreements, amendments to agreement and memorandums of
understanding (collectively “contracts”).
In Fiscal Year 2011-2012 alone, DES prepared approximately 172 new
contracts. Due to the continued increase in the workload associated with
monitoring existing contracts and preparing new contracts, an additional Contract
Compliance Specialist (Pay Grade 30) is needed.
This position will be funded from grant funds presently available or
from any other funds including ad valorem that become available at a
future time. (DES Administration) Countywide (DW) (DES)
36 5F-2 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: a consent for Palm Beach County employee James L. Montada to
purchase and rehabilitate a home with Federal funds received under the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) as administered by the Department
of Economic Sustainability (DES). SUMMARY: James L. Montada has been
employed by Board of County Commissioners (BCC) as a Messenger for Court
Administration for 10 years and 2 months.
He is an income eligible homebuyer who is seeking to purchase and
rehabilitate a home at 339 Jennings Avenue, Lake Worth. The total project cost is estimated at
$160,131 which includes the purchase price of $92,070; estimated repair costs
of $60,634; and closing costs of $7,427.
The total amount of NSP3 assistance is $152,704, of which $92,000 is provided as a first mortgage loan
at 4% for 30 years. The balance of
funding to the applicant is provided as a conditional grant that requires the
applicant to reside in the home for 30 years. The conditional grant is only
forgiven at the end of the 30 years. If the applicant rents, sells, or
otherwise conveys the home during the 30 years, the entire conditional grant
becomes due and payable. U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines require that NSP-assisted rehabilitation of
residential property be undertaken to comply with applicable laws, codes, and
other requirements relating to housing safety, quality, and habitability.
Ninety-five percent of the repair costs are to correct building code
violations. Federal regulations
pertaining to NSP3 require that an exception be sought from HUD in instances
where a conflict of interest may exist.
A Conflict of Interest Exception (COIE) for Mr. Montada was approved by
HUD on August 24, 2012, for the HOME Investment Partnership Program
(HOME). The applicant subsequently
requested participation in the NSP3 First Mortgage Loan Program and was
approved for funding. Since the COIE approved by HUD is program specific to
HOME and cannot be used for other Federally funded
programs, a request to HUD for a revised COIE for NSP3 has been made by DES and
is pending. It is DES Policy to seek the
consent of the Board of County Commissioners whenever County employees are
receiving assistance through DES Programs. These
are Federal NSP3 funds which require no local match. (B&HI) District

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the State of
Florida, Department of Health, for the period January 1, 2013, through February
28, 2013, in an amount not to exceed $700,000 for the costs of purchase and
distribution of drugs for Ryan White clients in Palm Beach County participating
in the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP State Program). Summary: This MOA will provide a funding
allocation to the ADAP State Program from the Ryan White HIV Care Part A grant
funds provided to Palm Beach County by the Health Resources Services
Administration (HRSA). A total HRSA grant amount of $9,185,596 was provided to
the County this contract year. The ADAP State Program provides life-sustaining
drugs to uninsured individuals living with HIV/AIDs and to individuals that do
not have adequate prescription coverage. The allocation of Ryan White funds
will help alleviate a shortfall in ADAP funding and ensure that Palm Beach
County residents receive the needed HIV/AIDS prescription medication. Funds are available for this purpose under
the grant and must be utilized by the end of the contract year, February 28,
2013. No County match is required. Countywide (TKF)
3. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Service Agreement/Subcontract with American Eldercare, Inc. (AEC), for the
Division of Senior Services (DOSS) to provide community-based assistance as a
service provider effective February 5, 2013; and
B) Addendum to modify the agreement to comply
with the Administrative Simplification requirements of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
Summary: DOSS has the program and facility capacity
to provide community-based services to AEC clients. DOSS will offer adult day care, congregate meals, case
management, and in-home services at a reimbursement rate of $60 per day for adult
day care, $6 per congregate meal at a designated meal site, $150 for case management
per client per month and $18 per hour for various In-home services on an
as-needed basis. This will enable DOSS to generate an estimated revenue
base of $45,696 per year, independent from grants and County match. No County funds are required. DOSS
is entering into this Agreement to provide utilization of services to
more seniors as well as allow for easy accessibility to services. This Agreement allows DOSS to become a
vendor with AEC, a Palm Beach County-based company since 2003, headquartered in
Delray Beach. They are Florida’s largest contractor for DOEA’s Long Term Care Diversion Program. They
currently provide services to over 4,500 seniors in 40 counties in the state, in
all 11 planning and service areas of DOEA. This Agreement is non-competitive. The Long Term Care Diversion programs are available to other qualified
care providers. To improve the efficiency of the health care system, DOEA
includes HIPAA Administrative
Simplification provisions that mandate privacy protections for
individually identifiable electronic health information. (DOSS) Countywide (TKF)

health outcomes data required by the federal Health Resources and Services
Administration. The additional
administrative funds are one time funding to this agency. These are federal
funds and no County match funds are required. (Ryan White) Countywide (TKF)
5. Staff recommends
motion to:
A)
receive and file Phase 30 Grant
award from the Emergency Food & Shelter National Board Program, for the
period of January 1, 2012, through March 31, 2013, in an amount not to exceed
$138,784, for provision of other shelter, rent/mortgage, and utility payments to
assist individuals and families in crisis; and

Board Program is a restricted federal grant.
On November 27, 2012, EFSP

United Way of Palm Beach County, Inc.
This Award consists of funding for other shelter in the amount of $60,528; rent/mortgage in the amount

motion to approve: Amendment No. 001 to an Agreement (R2012-1402) with
Sickle Cell Foundation of Palm Beach County, Inc. (Sickle Cell Foundation) to
decrease the number of beneficiaries served and to increase the rate of
reimbursement. Summary: On October 2,
2012, the County entered into an Agreement (R2012-1402) with the Sickle Cell
Foundation allocating $12,743 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
for comprehensive case management services to 144 unduplicated individuals who
have sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait and to members of their families.
Although Sickle Cell Foundation requested $56,316 in CDBG funds to serve 144
clients, due to limited CDBG funding availability, they were only awarded
$12,743 and therefore cannot serve 144 clients, and may only provide the same
level of service to 46 clients. Accordingly, the amendment increases the rate
of reimbursement per client to a rate commensurate with the one provided in
Fiscal Year 2011-2012. These are Federal CDBG funds which require no

because of cost overruns and changes in the scope of the pre-development
costs. As a result, the Company has
updated the Application and has requested the County issue the Notes. The Notes will be issued pursuant to the
terms and provisions of an Amended and Restated Trust Indenture, the form of
which is attached to the subject authorizing Resolution. The proceeds will be loaned to the Company by
an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement.
The Notes will be issued on parity with the Original Notes, payable
solely from the net proceeds of future industrial development bonds issued by
the County or such other governmental issuer to permanently finance the
construction and equipping of the CCRC Project.
The Economic Impact Analysis demonstrates
a positive impact exceeding $150 Million over five years for the CCRC Project. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and
credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay principal
or redemption premium, if any, or interest of the Notes. District 5 (PFK)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the
proposed 2013/2014 Federal Legislative Program. SUMMARY: Staff requests
the Board approval of the proposed FY 2013/2014 Federal Legislative Program,
which includes priority appropriations and legislative issues, general
appropriations and general issues to monitor. The Federal Legislative Agenda
outlines issues the County’s Legislative Affairs Office, in conjunction with
the County’s federal lobbyist, will be working on for the upcoming
Congressional session. Countywide (DW)
2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida consolidating and updating the uniform policies and procedures
for Palm Beach County advisory boards, committees, and commissions; repealing Resolutions
R95-1806, R2002-1606, R2010-1941, and R2011-0946 respectively; and providing
for an effective date. SUMMARY: This Resolution consolidates and updates
the uniform policies and procedures for advisory boards; including Code of Ethics
requirements, current and former County employee and Commissioner eligibility to serve, terms of service, travel policy and
absences. In accordance with Board discussion on January 15, this proposal
includes language providing for a two year waiting period before a former
commissioner can be appointed to any board. It also sets standard three year
terms of service (to match ethics training requirements), but without proposing
a limit in the number of terms that can be served. If the Board chooses to set
term limits, nine years is recommended to conform to three year terms and
ethics training requirements. Countywide (TKF)
3. Staff requests Board direction: regarding possible modification of the Commission on Ethics (COE) ordinance, specifically as it relates to the composition of the Commission on Ethics and term limits; and in the event the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) elects to amend the ordinance, staff also requests that the BCC appoint two representatives to serve on the ordinance drafting committee to review the proposed amendments. SUMMARY: At the December 18, 2012 BCC meeting, following comments from Commissioner Taylor, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to bring back for Board discussion the possibility of term limits and the composition of the COE. As to composition, several options can be considered: leave as is; change the appointing entities; or increase the COE from five to seven members. As required by the Charter, all changes to the COE ordinance must first be referred to the ordinance drafting committee for its review and recommendation. This committee consists of two appointees of the BCC, two appointees of the League of Cities, an attorney representing each entity, and the Executive Director of the COE. Countywide (LB)

recommends motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the conveyance of
the County’s interest in a 0.22 acre of
surplus property to the Town of Lantana without charge and with
reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and
exploration pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 197.592(3); and
B) approve a County Deed in favor of the Town of
Lantana.
SUMMARY: The Town of Lantana requested the
conveyance of a County-owned improved surplus property located at 111 East
Prospect Road. The 0.22 acre property
contains a single story multifamily structure that was acquired by Tax Deed in
May 2012. It is located within the Town’s municipal boundaries and has an
assessed value of $92,326. The property
is being conveyed pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 197.592(3), which
authorizes the conveyance of surplus property acquired by Tax Deed to the
municipality in which it is located. PREM obtained an appraisal from Anderson
and Carr; which valued the property at $30,000 due to the poor condition of the
structure. An unsolicited third party
offer of $25,000 was received. The subject property has been declared surplus
and serves no present or future County purpose.
The Town proposes to utilize the property by either demolishing the
structure and developing a neighborhood park, or renovating the structure for
Town Staff office use. This conveyance
will relieve the County of potential liability for occurrences on the 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) District 4 (HJF)
2. DELETED: Staff
recommends motion to approve: a Second Amendment to the Third
Restated Agreement (R2004-0257) with the Historical Society of Palm Beach
County, a Florida non-profit corporation (Society) for the Society’s use of the
1916 Courthouse. SUMMARY: In 2009, the Board approved
the Third Restated Agreement with the Society for occupancy of 8,695 SF of
space within the 1916 Courthouse for operation of the Palm Beach County History
Museum and administrative offices for the Society. The Society pays no rent for the Museum space
and rent in the amount of $45,137 for their administrative offices. The Society has requested that they no longer
be required to pay rent. In addition,
the Society has requested that they no longer be required to maintain a
$250,000 letter of credit as a security deposit. Finally, the Society has requested exclusive
use of a janitorial closet within the second floor women’s bathroom. Attached
to the Agenda Item is a letter from the Society requesting changes to the Third
Restated Agreement. Staff supports the
Society’s request to have exclusive use of the janitorial closet and to be
relieved of the requirement to maintain a letter of credit as a security
deposit, and this Second Amendment includes those changes. Staff does not support allowing the Society
to occupy space within the 1916 Courthouse without payment of rent, and the
Amendment does not change the rental provisions. There is no legal requirement for the Society
to pay rent; however, the County funded the entire capital restoration costs
for the 1916 Courthouse including the Museum space and space for the fourth
floor administrative offices ultimately occupied by Society. The County also
funded Society’s build out of the Museum itself with funds from a Recreational
and Cultural facilities bond issue. The
original agreement was structured to require Society to pay market rent for the
fourth floor office space since Society could occupy private space for this
function and Society’s use is displacing County use of the space. As such, a rent abatement as requested: 1) is
inconsistent with the initial terms of the relationship between the parties
and; 2) would amount to a subsidy of Society’s operational costs without the benefit
of a competitive review of the needs of other historical organizations or
not-for-profits in general. (PREM) District 2/Countywide (HJF)
3. ADD-ON: Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment
Number Three to Lease Agreement with Regions
Financial Tower, LLLP (R2001-0483). SUMMARY: The Tourist Development Council (TDC) and related agencies
occupy 19,700 SF of space in the Regions Financial Tower on
Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. On June 19,
2012, the Board provided direction to relocate TDC to the Airport Center
Building 2 when the balance
of funding for renovation of Building 2 becomes
available. To accommodate TDC in the interim, this Amendment
Number Three extends the term of the Lease for three years from August
1, 2014 until July 31, 2017.
The stated gross annual
rental rate will remain
unchanged at $483,438 ($24.54/SF).
All other terms of the Lease remain unchanged. The extension of the Lease is the most cost
effective way to meet TDC’s interim space requirements and is in the best
interest of the County. (PREM) Countywide (HJF)

Board direction concerning the potential El Paso Drive Municipal Service Taxing
Unit (MSTU) project, whether to:
A) proceed with the El Paso Drive from Blanchette Trail to
Pancho Way, Pinto Drive from Blanchette Trail to Pancho Way and all of Pancho
Way (Project) in its entirety, assessing 30 property owners $10,000 per property
at 5% for 20 years although a 51% positive response was not obtained
(40% of the owners supported the Project). Palm Beach County (County)
would accept the roads for courtesy maintenance upon acquisition of required
rights-of-way and the expected County cost would be approximately $950,000;
or
B) drop the Project since only 40% support was shown;
or
C) revise the limits of the Project to eliminate Pinto
Drive from the Project entirely and assess 13 properties on El Paso Drive and
Pancho Way $10,000 per property at 5% for 20 years. The County would
accept the roads for courtesy maintenance upon acquisition of required
rights-of-way and the expected County cost would be approximately $685,000.
The positive responses for this shortened project is 61%; or
D) revise the limits of the Project to eliminate a portion of Pinto Drive from
Blanchette Trail to 900 feet west of Pancho Way and assess the seven properties
on the east 900 feet of Pinto Drive and the 13 properties on El Paso Drive and
Pancho Way at $10,000 per property at 5% for 20 years. The County would accept
the roads for courtesy maintenance upon acquisition of required rights-of-way
and the expected County cost would be approximately $851,000. The
positive responses for this shortened project is 60%.
SUMMARY: Staff petitioned residents on El Paso Drive from Blanchette Trail to
Pancho Way, Pinto Drive from Blanchette Trail to Pancho Way and all of Pancho
Way to determine their desire to be considered for the Municipal Service Taxing
Unit program for paving and drainage improvements. A 40% positive
response was received, less than the required 51%. However the current County
Code, Chapter 26, Special Districts, Article II, Municipal Service Taxing Unit,

F. ECONOMIC
SUSTAINABILITY
1. REVISED SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to approve: the creation of one full-time grant funded position within the
Department of Economic Sustainability (DES). Summary: In
order to implement the numerous Federal, State and County economic, housing and
community development grant and loan programs, DES is required to prepare and
monitor various agreements, amendments to agreement and memorandums of
understanding (collectively “contracts”).
In Fiscal Year 2011-2012 alone, DES prepared approximately 172 new
contracts. Due to the continued increase
in the workload associated with monitoring existing contracts and preparing new
contracts, an additional Contract Compliance Specialist (Pay Grade 30)
is needed. This position will be funded from grant funds presently available or
from any other funds including ad valorem that become available at a
future time. (DES Administration) Countywide (DW)
2. ADD-ON: Staff
recommends motion to approve: a consent for Palm Beach County employee James L.
Montada to purchase and rehabilitate a
home with Federal funds received under the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) as administered by the Department of Economic
Sustainability (DES). SUMMARY: James L. Montada has been employed by Board of County Commissioners as a Messenger for
Court Administration for 10 years and 2 months.
He is an income eligible homebuyer who is seeking to purchase and
rehabilitate a home at 339 Jennings
Avenue, Lake Worth. The total project
cost is estimated at $160,131 which includes the purchase price of $92,070; estimated
repair costs of $60,634; and closing costs of $7,427. The total amount of NSP3
assistance is $152,704, of which $92,000
is provided as a first mortgage loan at 4% for 30 years. The balance of funding to the applicant is
provided as a conditional grant that requires the applicant to reside in the
home for 30 years. The conditional grant is only forgiven at the end of the 30
years. If the applicant rents, sells, or otherwise conveys the home during the
30 years, the entire conditional grant becomes due and payable. U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines require that NSP-assisted rehabilitation of residential property be
undertaken to comply with applicable laws, codes, and other requirements
relating to housing safety, quality, and habitability. Ninety-five percent of
the repair costs are to correct building code violations. Federal regulations pertaining to NSP3
require that an exception be sought from HUD in instances where a conflict of
interest may exist. A Conflict of
Interest Exception (COIE) for Mr. Montada was approved by HUD on August 24,
2012, for the HOME Investment Partnership Program. The applicant subsequently
requested participation in the NSP3 First Mortgage Loan Program and was
approved for funding. Since the COIE approved by HUD is program specific to
HOME and cannot be used for other Federally funded
programs, a request to HUD for a revised COIE for NSP3 has been made by DES and
is pending. It is DES Policy to seek the
consent of the Board of County Commissioners whenever County employees are
receiving assistance through DES Programs. These
are Federal NSP3 funds which require no local match. (B&HI) District

G. OFFICE
OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET
A) recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for
public hearing on March 12, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of
the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending the Palm
Beach County Unified Land Development Code, Ordinance 2003-70, as amended, by
amending Article 13, concerning countywide impact fee amounts, as follows: Chapter
B – county district, regional, and beach parks impact fee; Chapter C – fire-rescue
impact fee; Chapter D – library impact fee; Chapter E – law enforcement impact
fee; Chapter F – public buildings impact fee; Chapter G – school impact fee; Chapter
H – road impact fee; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for
severability; providing for inclusion in the unified land development code;
providing for an effective date; and
B) request Board direction regarding: one of three of
the following options for adjusting impact fee rates:
I.
Option 1 – Increase fees to the full amount
(95% of the amount calculated in the study) allowed by the ordinance.
II.
Option 2 – Increase fees to the full amount allowed
by the ordinance with three phase-in periods on June 15, 2013, June 15, 2014
and June 14, 2015. The first phase would capture the full amount of the library
and public building increase and approximately 51% of the proposed road impact
fee increase. The second and third phases would capture the remaining 49% of
the proposed road fee increase in two equal increments. The final adjustment of
the road fee would mean all of the fees were set at the full amount allowed by
the ordinance.
III.
Option 3 – Impact Fee Review Committee recommend a
20% increase of impact fees identified in the impact fee study with two phase-in periods beginning on June
15, 2013 and June 15, 2014. This would
result in a net decrease of impact fees for residential development and
approximately a net increase of 13% for non-residential development.
SUMMARY: Based on the impact fee study
all three options above reflect decreases in the park, fire rescue, law
enforcement, and school impact fees. The study reflects the fire rescue fee
being eliminated because there are no new fire stations proposed in the 5-Year
Capital Plan. The park impact fee
decreases because the County is no longer acquiring park land for beaches. The school impact fee decreases significantly
because of the limited number of new schools required to accommodate
growth. The law enforcement fee is down
slightly primarily reflecting shifts in the demand for services. The
methodology provides the appropriate credits for other revenue sources that
help fund capital facility infrastructure including ad valorem taxes, debt
service payments, federal, state, and local grants, and gas taxes.
Option 2 is the compromise worked out with industry representatives.
Staff supports Option 2 because this option would result in fee increases
comparable with the cost of providing the capital facilities through gradual
increases over a three-year period. The BCC has not approved an increase in
impact fees since January 6, 2006.
Subsequent impact fee studies in 2007 and 2009 calculated increases in
impact fees based on increases in capital facility cost. However, the Board did not approve fee
increases at that time primarily because of the significant decline of the
economy. The general economy and
specifically the housing market have shown significant improvements in 2012 and
both are projected to show continued improvements in 2013. Countywide
