Palm Tran, Inc., Case No.: 502011CA002419XXXXMB AF
(Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court) for $83,000, inclusive of attorney’s fees
and costs. SUMMARY: Plaintiff Gayle Heike sued Palm Tran, Inc.,
alleging three claims under the Florida Civil Rights Act, including gender
discrimination, retaliation, and hostile work environment. The parties have drafted a proposed
settlement agreement which would settle Ms. Heike’s claims in the amount of $83,000,
inclusive of attorney’s fees and costs. Staff believes Ms. Heike’s
termination was proper and justified; however, t The timing of
actions taken against Ms. Heike, when compared to the timing of Ms. Heike’s
initial gender discrimination claim, along with additional evidence elicited
during discovery, could lead a jury to infer believe that actions
taken against Ms. Heike were related to her initial claim, and thus were
retaliatory in nature. Staff, including
Risk Management and Palm Tran, recommends that the Board of County
Commissioners approve this Settlement as a reasonable compromise of the claims
brought by Ms. Heike in order to limit the County’s exposure in this case. Countywide (HCH) (County
Attorney)

SUMMARY: The Department of Airports (Department) is currently in the design phase
for improvements to the existing security system at PBIA. A portion of the overall security project

capabilities at PBIA, to include surveillance of TSA areas in an effort to
enhance security, aid in the speedy resolution of claims, and assist in
resolution of law enforcement issues.
There is no intent to create
a separate system for TSA use; the additional cameras will be integrated into
the Department’s system. This portion of
the project will be included as a separate, additive bid in the project, which
will be reimbursed by the DHS/TSA at a participation percentage of one hundred
percent (100%). The formal acceptance of this funding, including all rights and
responsibilities of all parties to the agreement, is handled through the

requested to enable the agency to provide the comprehensive services that they
routinely provide the beneficiaries they serve. These Federal ESG funds

Delray Beach Community Development Corporation (DBCDC) to allow the acquisition
and rehabilitation of up to two additional homes and to extend the expiration
date from September 15, 2013 to May 31, 2014.
Summary: On October
19, 2010, Palm Beach County entered into an Agreement (R2010-1753) with DBCDC
to fund the acquisition and rehabilitation of single family homes under the
Federal HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. These homes may be rented,
lease-purchased or sold to households whose incomes are at or below 80% of area
median income. DBCDC has acquired, and
is rehabilitating two homes with the $529,398 allocated through the
Agreement. This Amendment will allow
BDCDC to acquire and rehabilitate up to two additional homes using the balance
of funds remaining available and will provide additional time to enable them to
do so. These are Federal HOME Program
grant funds which require a 25% local match provided with State Housing
Initiatives Partnership funds. (DES Contract Development) District 7

motion to approve:
A) Economic Development Bond Financing Program
Participation Criteria for the Industrial Revenue Bonds Program relating to
underwriting institutions for the placement of Industrial Revenue Bonds,
501-C-3 Bonds and taxable bonds; and
B) delegation of authority to the
County Administrator, or his designee, to execute a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU).
Summary: The Department of Economic Sustainability
(DES) administers various lending programs and financial instruments, which provide
financing to for-profit and non-profit institutions in order to facilitate
significant investment in the County.
Industrial Revenue Bonds are typically used to raise capital in excess
of $1 Million and provide access to low interest and long-term financing. DES intends to publicly solicit participation
by bond underwriters who are registered with the Municipal Securities Review
Board (MSRB), which is the governing body for bond underwriters. To register with the MSRB, bond underwriters
must be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
must be registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and must
comply with MSRB rules. A referral list
of registered bond underwriters who execute an MOU with the County will be
compiled through this solicitation.
Borrowers without an established working relationship with a bond
underwriter, if requested, will be referred to firms on the list to assist them
with facilitating their project. The
County will enter into an MOU establishing a working relationship with a bond
underwriter. DES will collect a
consulting and structuring fee of 25 basis points (0.25%) of the face value of
any issued bonds. The last five years of bond issuance have led to over $112
Million in financing and an estimated 2,265 jobs created. There is no local
match required. Countywide (PFK)

A. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Release of Restrictions to Western Palm Beach
County Mental Health Clinic, Inc. (WPBCMHC) in exchange for the receipt of
$7,203.85. Summary: In 1999, WPBCMHC purchased the property for
$900,000 with a loan from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
who secured their $800,000 loan with a first mortgage. On October 22, 2002, the
County entered into an Agreement (R2002-1880) with the WPBCMHC to provide
$42,700 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the
rehabilitation of their facility at 408 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
East in Belle Glade. On September 23,
2003, Amendment No. 001 (R2003-1548) was executed to provide a time extension
for the project and increase project funding by $40,000 in CDBG funds. The amount expended on rehabilitation was
secured by a Declaration of Restrictions encumbering the property for a ten
(10) year period which expires on December 31, 2013. In 2005, WPBCMHC ceased
their operations due to loss of State funding.
Thereafter, mental health services were provided from this facility by
the Jerome Golden Center (fka Oakwood Center) who leased the facility from
WPBCMHC until December 2011 and who is now providing services at another
location in Belle Glade. The property
has remained vacant since December 2011.
WPBCMHC is now in default on its first mortgage and a short sale of the
property has been proposed. USDA last appraised the property in November 2010
at which time the value was $209,500.
They have indicated that the property continues to deteriorate and its
present value is estimated at $40,000 to $50,000 which is the anticipated short
sale amount which has been approved by USDA.
Upon closing on the sale, the County would receive $7,203.85 from the
proceeds in exchange for releasing the encumbrance created by the Declaration
of Restrictions. Staff recommends the
acceptance of $7,203.85 in exchange for the issuance of a Release of
Restrictions. These are Federal CDBG
funds which require no local match. (DES Contract Development) District

Inc., an existing Delaware corporation authorized to do business in the State
of Florida, as a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) business pursuant to s.288.108,
Florida Statutes; providing for local financial support for the Qualified
Target Industry Tax Program in the form of a Job Growth Incentive Grant not to

Summary: OpenPeak, Inc. is a leading
mobility technology company that provides multimedia touch-screen devices and
device management platforms that enable enterprises, service providers,
developers, and content owners to interact with end-users in their homes,
offices, and while mobile. The company
has 108 employees throughout the United States with 95 employees at its
headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. The
company is currently expanding its Boca Raton facility due to its recent
transition from hardware-based system provider to a software company. The
company plans to create 100 new permanent full-time jobs with an average
annualized wage of $93,000, excluding benefits, within two years and retain the
new and existing jobs for five years. The five year local economic impact is estimated
to be $18.47 Million. Enterprise Florida
is recommending to the State of Florida a QTI in the amount of $700,000 of
which $140,000 is the required local match.
The City of Boca Raton has agreed to provide one half of the local match
in the amount of $70,000. The County’s
one half of the local contribution will be in the form of a JGI Grant in the
amount of $70,000, which will be secured by a Letter of Credit or Bond. The company will be required to enter into a
formal agreement approved by the Board of County Commissioners memorializing
