E. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) ratify Signature of the Mayor on Grant Amendment forms 424 & 424A to the Refunding
Grant with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for the period
October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2013, decreasing the award amount by
$901,381 for a new total contract amount not to exceed $16,431,331 for the Head
Start/Early Head Start Programs; and
B) approve downward Budget Amendment of $901,381 in the Head Start Fund to
reconcile the budget with sequestration notification for 5.27% reduction in the grant award.
Summary: The federal
budget for the Head Start/Early Head Start Program was reduced by 5.27% in response
to the Federal Budget Control Act of 2011 (Sequestration) resulting in program
reductions and fund transfers. These changes were planned for in the
sequestration item approved by the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) on April 2, 2013 (4.D.1) to cut the transportation budget
inclusive of position eliminations, utilize
lapse salary, reallocate Voluntary Pre-K reserve funds for operations to
meet these cuts. In addition, School
Board transitions will be presented to BCC at a later date. No changes in County funds are
required for this reduction. The program will be
funded by $16,431,331 in Federal funds and $7,468,867 in County funds. Sufficient funding is included in the budget
to meet County obligations. The Budget Amendment is aligning the County budget
to the sequestration notification for 5.27% reduction. (Head Start) Countywide (TKF)

the amount of $800,000 or 80.00% of the eligible project costs, whichever is
less. Countywide (AH)
2. Staff recommends

H. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT
& OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: notification of the cumulative total of
change orders to Moss and Associates (R2007-0031) for the Jail Expansion
Program having exceeded $500,000. SUMMARY: In accordance with PPM CW-F-050, when the
cumulative value of changes approved by the Lead Department exceeds $500,000,
the Department is required to notify the Board that it has exceeded this
reporting threshold, and the cumulative total is then reset. The approval of Change Order No. 223 in the
amount of $48,843, by the Department Director, caused the cumulative value of
changes for this project to exceed $500,000.
This item notifies the Board that the cumulative threshold has been
reached and the reporting threshold is reset. The original value of this
contract is $129 million. Excluding
88 sales tax change orders, the net total value of all change orders is $5.9
million or 4.6%. The cost was partially
offset by the $1.1 million that was saved by implementation of the sales tax
recovery program. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide/District 6

Both parties must approve the renewal. The Agency has approved a
retroactive renewal to extend the term of the Agreement to December 15,
2015. This renewal now requires Board
approval. The terms of the agreement are standard and have been offered to EMS
providers. There are no charges associated with this Agreement. The Agency is
required to pay all costs associated with subscriber units and to comply with
the established operating procedures for the System. The Agreement may be terminated by either
party, with or without cause. This Third Amendment retroactively renews the
term, updates the name of Agency, updates the attachment regarding the 800 MHz
Radio System Policies and Procedures, updates the provision on confidentiality
of access and programming codes, updates the scenarios of usage, updates the
notice provisions, provides for disclosure of County Ordinance No. 2011-009

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement (R2003-1074) with the Town of Lake
Clarke Shores (Town) to extend the term of the Agreement for interoperable
radio communications through the countywide common talk groups of the County’s
800 MHz Radio System to July 15, 2018. SUMMARY: The Agreement, which provides the terms and
conditions under which the Town can program its radios and utilize the
countywide common talk groups for certain inter-agency communications expires
on July 15, 2013. The Agreement provides
for three renewal options, each for a period of five years. Both parties must approve the renewal option.
The Town has approved a renewal to extend the term of the Agreement to July 15,
2018. The renewal now requires Board approval. The terms of the Agreement are
standard and have been offered to all municipalities and local branches of
State/Federal agencies with 800 MHz trunked radio capabilities. There are no charges associated with this
Agreement. The Town is required to pay
all costs associated with the subscriber units and to comply with established
operating procedures for the System. The Agreement may be terminated by either
party, with or without cause. This Second Amendment renews the term, updates

4. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve
Fourth Amendment to
Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the Health Care District of Palm Beach
County (District) terminating the lease provisions;
B) approve a Budget Amendment of $355,685 in the
Public Building Improvement Fund recognizing revenue received and establishing
a project expense budget;
C) approve a Budget Transfer of $316,000 from reserves
in the Public Building Improvement Fund to the project expense budget; and
D) authorize Staff to proceed with the demolition of the
former County Home.
SUMMARY: The
County and the District entered into the Agreement dated July 11, 1995
(R95-930D as modified by R960139D, R2000-1554, and R2001-0586) relating to the
District’s funding of the Medicaid match program, the District’s operation of
the Edward J. Healey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center (formerly known as the
County Home located at 1200 45th Street, West Palm Beach) and
included a 40 year lease of the Center.
Recently, the District relocated the Center to the District-owned and
newly constructed facility in Riviera Beach and requested a termination of the
lease and related components of the Agreement. Since the Agreement did not
contain any terms regarding a lease termination, the County and District staff
negotiated the terms and conditions of this Fourth Amendment to effectuate the
District’s relocation of the Center and to resolve the issues presented by the
vacancy. This Fourth Amendment sets forth the terms under which the lease would
be terminated including sharing in the costs of securing the property prior to
demolition. Staff is recommending that the County proceed with the demolition
(other than the warehouse) at this time due to: 1) the condition of the
building would require a significant capital investment in the property for any
type of re-use, 2) the layout and location of the building does not support the
County’s future need for multiple social and health care uses on the property,
3) the costs associated with managing the vacant building, and 4) the liability
associated with the unoccupied building.
Prior to the Effective Date, District will pay County $316,000 for
demolition and funding for security services (12 hours/day, 7 days a week)
through December 31, 2013. After the Effective Date, County will assume all
responsibility for providing property management and security services. The
Fourth Amendment updates the notice provisions of the Agreement and ratifies
the remaining provisions of the Agreement. The budget amendment and transfer
establish the budget for demolition from Public Building Improvement Fund
Reserves and recognize the revenue from the Health Care District for both
security services and the demolition. (FDO) Countywide/District 2 (TF)
5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the
Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (R2011-1361) with Wellington Regional

improved space for a forensic rape exam office within the Wellington Regional
Medical Center (Hospital) at 10101 Forest Hill Boulevard in the Village of Wellington
for $1/month rent. SUMMARY: On September 13, 2011, the County entered
into a Lease Agreement with WRMI for 400 SF within the Hospital, for a ten
month term until June 30, 2012, for $500/month. On June 19, 2012, the Board

to June 30, 2013 and reduced the rent to $1/month. This Second Amendment
extends the term one year to June 30, 2014, and provides for automatic annual

amount of $300,023 of federal funds passed through the State for the Lakes

operating assistance. This is used to partially offset the operating costs of
mass transit in the Lakes Region of Palm Beach County. The operating costs of
mass transit to the Lakes Region include operating, maintenance, and
administrative costs. The Grant Application for $600,046 requires 50% local
match ($300,023 Local funds, $300,023 State) and execution of a section 49 USC§
5333 (b) assurance. Palm Beach County provides the local funding from the local

Summary:
In September 2011, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
sponsored an assessment of fare Interoperability options for all the transit agencies
in South Florida. The fare systems used by the agencies do not interface making
regional travel complex because of the separate fare media, different fares,
and transfer policies. The study team, consisting of representatives from all
four transit agencies, successfully reached concurrence on a phased approach to
achieve Interoperability. FDOT included
the project in the Work Program and as a result Palm Beach County has been
allocated $500,000 to implement
new fare collection technologies. The funds will be administered by FTA with no
local match required; therefore, the project budget lists the capital projects
at 100% cost for the federal share, no county funds are required. Countywide

B. REVISED
TITLE & SUMMARY Staff
recommends motion to:
1)
approve Road Program Findings of Fact (per Article 12.M.3.B 12.N.4.B
of the Unified Land Development Code) affirming that the deletion of a construction
project will not result in any Link or Intersection on the road network
operating at greater than the Adopted LOS (level of service), and that no
project which was approved and phased based upon such assured construction
would be denied building permits because of the deletion of the construction. Central
Boulevard and Indiantown Road meets this criteria for deletion; and
2) adopt an Ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 85-40, as amended, establishing an amended Five Year Road Program (Program); providing for title; purpose; adoption of revised program and revised list of projects contained in Exhibit “A” of the Ordinance; implementation of the program; modification of the program; funding of other roadway improvements; interpretation of exhibit; repeal of laws in conflict; severability; inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; and effective date.
SUMMARY: In accordance with Article 12.M.3.B
12.N.4.B of the Unified Land Development Code, and prior to the deletion
of any construction project from Palm Beach County’s (County) Program, the
Board of County Commissioner’s (Board) must determine that the Findings of Fact
have been made. Since the development and adoption of the County’s Program on
December 18, 2012, the progress and evolution of current and near term projects
has continued to be monitored. Traffic counts, costs and revenues have been
updated. Revisions are being proposed to modify the Program to reflect this updated
information. A Mid Year Ordinance Amendment with a Preliminary Reading and a

B) approve committing to fund the FY 2013 deficit in the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) Fund, estimated to be $300,000 above the current General Fund budget, resulting from nonpayment by municipalities.
SUMMARY: Section 2-429 (3) of the OIG Ordinance,
adopted on May 17, 2011, requires the Board meet with a delegation selected by
the Palm Beach County League of Cities, Inc. to discuss the budget request for
each fiscal year. The OIG FY 2014 proposed budget is $3,703,143, of which
$414,213 will be funded through contracts with the Solid Waste Authority and
Children Services Council, with the balance funded by the County and
municipalities. In FY 2012 and estimated for FY 2013, the OIG did not expend
approximately $1 million of the appropriated budget. This was in part due to the uncertainty of
funding from the municipalities. Even
with this reduced spending, there will be a funding deficit in the OIG Fund.
This deficit will require additional funding in FY 2013 of approximately
$300,000 over the current General Fund budgeted amount. Countywide (LB)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Lease between the South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD), Palm Beach County and Pero Family Farms, LLC (Pero) for approximately
570 acres of land located in the Ag Reserve, west of State Road 7 and
approximately one mile north of West Atlantic Avenue, at an annual rental rate
of $294,517.32. SUMMARY: The County (39.4%)
and SFWMD (60.6%) jointly own the 570 acre McMurrain property in the Ag
Reserve. Pero has farmed the property
since before the County’s acquisition of the property in 2000. The most recent
amendment to the Lease extended to May 31, 2013, and was at a rental rate of $294,517.32/yr
($516 per gross acre). On March 25,
2013, SFWMD issued a Request for Bids (RFB) to lease the property for 10 years
at a minimum rental rate of $516 per gross acre and provided the existing
tenant (Pero) with a first right of refusal to lease the property at 10% over
the highest bid received. Pero was the
only bidder and bid $294,517.32/yr. On
May 9, 2013, SFWMD approved this Lease. SFWMD will continue to be the managing
party to the Lease. The County will receive $116,039.82/yr as its 39.4% share
of the annual rent. (PREM) District

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a Deposit Receipt
and Contract for Sale and Purchase with Rebecca J. Carter for the sale of a
0.28+/- acre parcel of land located on 131st Street in Loxahatchee
Groves for $8,800; and
B) approve a County Deed in favor of Rebecca J.
Carter with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of
entry and exploration pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 125.35(1.c).
SUMMARY: The County acquired a 0.28+/- acre parcel
of vacant land located on 131st Street, Loxahatchee Groves by Tax
Deed in June 1970. This property has
been deemed surplus as it serves no County purpose. The property was advertised for sale and a
Request For Bids was issued in March 2013. Responsive proposals were received from: (i)
Robert Shorr for $16,600; (ii) Rebecca J. Carter for $8,800; and (iii) George
A. and Margaret A. Herzog for $5,050. Subsequent to the bid opening, Mr. Shorr
withdrew his bid and the County retained his bid
deposit of $1,660. Staff recommends acceptance of Ms. Carter’s bid and
conveying this property to her. It
should be noted that Ms. Carter is a County employee who works in Facilities
Development & Operations and is the owner of the adjacent parcel. Ms. Carter had no involvement in the
formulation of bid specifications or the bid process. Staff has determined that there are not any
ethical issues involved here as this was structured as an open, competitive,
public bid. The Property Appraiser’s Office has assessed the subject
parcel at $12,798. An appraisal was not
obtained as the parcel’s value is less than $25,000. The tax deed by
which the County acquired title to this property used a defective legal description
which can only be cured by a suit to quiet title. That process is lengthy
and the value of this parcel does not support incurring the cost of a quiet
title action. The property is being sold
“As Is”, using the legal description from the Tax Deed. Ms. Carter will pay all costs of closing and
any other costs associated with this sale. The County will retain mineral and
petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 270.11, without
rights of entry and exploration. This sale must be approved by a supermajority vote (5
Commissioners). Closing is to occur
within 60 days of Board approval. (PREM)

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
Deposit Receipt and Contract for Sale and Purchase with Racetrac Petroleum,
Inc. for the sale of a 1.14 acre parcel of County owned surplus property known
as Tract K, located in Lantana, with reservation of mineral rights, but without
rights of entry and exploration for $388,936.
SUMMARY: The subject
surplus property is a 1.14 acre parcel located east of I-95 on the south side
of Hypoluxo Road and just east of Seacrest Boulevard. Staff obtained an appraisal
of the property valuing it at $350,000. Staff received numerous recent inquires
from interested parties looking to purchase the site and in February of this
year issued a Request for Proposal (RFP 2013-002PB). The RFP called for three
elements to be rated: purchase price (60 pts.), proposed use (10 pts.), and
contingencies to close (30 pts.). Four proposals were submitted: 1) Racetrac
Petroleum, Inc.: Price $388,936; develop as a Convenience Store/Gas Station;
contingent upon receiving development approvals; 2) Kickstart Foundation of
Palm Beach County, Inc.: Price-$301,000; develop as a center for at risk youth;
no contingencies 3) Big Man’s Fast Cash, Inc.: Price-$300,000, ($60,000
at closing, $2,000/mo rent for 10 years, $240,000 balloon payment); develop as
a parking lot for expansion of adjacent pawn shop; no contingencies; 4) Michael
Scott Brown: Price is to exchange other property in the Ag Reserve of a value
to exceed the high bidder in this RFP by 5%; development consistent with
current zoning. Racetrac is proposing to
assemble the corner parcel and the County’s parcel to develop a new convenience
store/gas station. A gas station was previously operated at the southeast
corner of Seacrest and Hypoluxo. Staff recommends award of the contract to
Racetrac Petroleum, Inc. as Racetrac submitted the highest cash offer and staff
believes Racetrac will obtain its development approvals from Lantana and close
within 6-9 months. The County will retain mineral rights in accordance with
Florida Statutes, Section 270.11, but will not retain rights of entry and
exploration. This sale must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners).
