PAGE ITEM
39 4G REVISED SUMMARY: Petitions in favor of the installation of a
potable wastewater main have been provided by 57% of the property
owners in the Swain Boulevard project area. The project will serve seven
residential properties currently on septic tanks. Individual assessments of
$45,206.15 per acre are based on 100% of the total project cost. Assessments
for the seven properties range from a low of $6,328.86 to a high of $30,740.18.
The assessment may be paid over 20 years with equal annual payments of
principal and 5½% interest. The total assessable cost is $107,590.63 and
includes the costs of surveying, design, drafting, permitting, construction,
inspection, administration, and construction contingency. The project will be
constructed utilizing a Work Authorization under the WUD Continuing
Construction Contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc. (R2013-0551). The Small
Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance
(R2002-0064) is 15% overall. The contract with Centerline Utilities, Inc.
provides for SBE participation of 16.56%. This Authorization includes 10.06%
overall participation. The cumulative SBE participation is 10.06% overall. If
the actual cost exceeds the total assessable cost, the differential will be
covered by WUD's budget. Centerline Utilities,
Inc. is not a local company. (WUD Project No. 12-072) District

5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Agreements with the following Long-term Care
Managed Care organizations allowing the Division of Senior Services (DOSS) to
provide In-Home and Community-Based services as a service provider, effective
September 1, 2013:
A) American
Eldercare, Inc. (AEC) Service Agreement/Subcontract;
and
B) Independent
Living Systems, L.L.C (ILS) Standard Provider Agreement; and
C) Sunshine State Health Plan, Inc. (Health
Plan) Ancillary Services Provider Agreement; and
D) United Healthcare of Florida, Inc. (United)
Adult Day Care and Home Health Care Provider Participation Agreement.
Summary: These
Agreements are a result of the Federal Medicaid Reform mandate where Florida legislature created a new Long-term
Care Managed Care Program (LTCMCP). The State of Florida’s Agency for Health Care
Administration (AHCA), through a competitive bid process, chose four
long-term care managed care plans for Palm Beach County. Managed care allows health care organizations
to direct how their enrollees receive health care services. Medicaid recipients who qualify and become
enrolled in LTCMCP will receive long-term care services. These agreements will allow DOSS to continue
to provide services to Medicaid recipients and to receive payments under
LTCMCP. Approval to negotiate these
agreements was granted by the Board of County Commissioners on January 15, 2013
(Agenda Item 3.E.6). These agreements are available to other qualified care
providers and are non-competitive. (DOSS)

SUMMARY: The CM at Risk Contract with The Morganti Group, Inc. for CM at Risk
Services for Terminal Improvements at PBIA was approved by the Board on June 4,
2013 (R2013-0663). The Contract is for two
years with three one-year renewal options and is a task order based contract
for CM at Risk Services at PBIA. The
Morganti Group, Inc. is a Danbury, Connecticut, based firm; however, the work
will be directly managed by their southeast regional office in Palm Beach
County. Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $1,130,000 and 180 calendar
days to complete Task M-1: Building 3400
Interior Improvements at PBIA was approved by the Board on July 2, 2013 (R2013-0829). Approval of Amendment No. 2 in the amount of
$190,000 and 70 calendar days will provide funds to complete Task M-2: Emergency Phone System at PBIA. The M-2 task was budgeted for Fiscal Year
2014 due to the uncertainty of the Federal Aviation Administration’s schedule
for occupancy of the new Air Traffic Control Tower. It has now been confirmed that the move to
the new ATCT has been scheduled for mid September, which requires a budget
transfer to complete the Emergency Phone System prior to occupancy. This
project is being funded with PFC funds. The Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) goal for this contract was established at 13%. No DBE
participation is included in this task; however, The Morganti Group, Inc.
demonstrated good faith efforts to achieve the DBE goal as required by the

Palm Beach Gardens Community Hospital, Inc. (R2004-0324) for the continued use
of antenna space on the rooftop of the Hospital at an annual rate of
$1/yr. SUMMARY: The County’s Emergency Management Services
currently leases rooftop space at the Palm Beach Gardens Community Hospital

extending the term through February 23, 2014.
This second and final option will extend the term of the Lease Agreement
for five years, from February 24, 2014, through February 23, 2019. As the County does not have any County owned
structures of the required height to support the antenna, nor are there any
other towers in the general area available at a rate of $1/yr, it is in the
best interest of the County to exercise this option. The annual rent for this

Action Plan (R2012-0942). The City
requested that these funds, which were intended for sidewalk construction, be
reallocated in order to be able to complete its ongoing High School Gymnasium
renovation project. The project was
delayed due to the length of time required to abate asbestos due to numerous
redesigns and rebids in an attempt to bring the project cost within
budget. The time extension will allow
the City to rebid and award a contract that contains a scope of work based on
an increased budget resulting from the additional funds provided by this
Amendment. Total project funding is projected to create 34 jobs and have a
five year Economic Sustainability Impact of $1.93 Million. These are Federal CDBG funds which

No. 3 to the Interlocal Agreement for Biosolids Processing and Recycling with
the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (SWA). Summary: On May 3, 2005, the Palm Beach County
Board of County Commissioners approved an Interlocal Agreement for Biosolids
Processing and Recycling with SWA (R2005-0897).
Under the Interlocal Agreement, the SWA is responsible for the design,
construction, operation and maintenance of the regional Biosolids Processing
and Recycling Facility (BPF), and, in addition, will market the biosolids
pellets to various fertilizer manufacturers.
Water Utilities, along with the other participating utilities, are
responsible for delivering wastewater biosolids to the new facility, and paying
for the pro-rata share of capital and net operating costs. The First
(R2006-1283) and Second (R2012-0903) Amendments resolved Contractor claims for delays and
increases in construction costs for the BPF. This Amendment No. 3 reflects the
sale of excess capacity in the BPF to the East Central Regional Wastewater
Treatment Operation Board (ECR), adjusts pro-rated shares of capacity by the
original participants, addresses clarification to the Operations & Maintenance
costs per ton and landfill gas delivery system, and adds provisions for
continued operation at the conclusion of the term of the Agreement. The sale of excess capacity to ECR results in
a return of $2,817,749 in capital costs to the County. Countywide (MJ)

provision imposing an annual assessment on insured and self-insured group
health plans to fund the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
This annual fee will be imposed on group health plans for the next seven years.
The regulations require health plan sponsors with calendar year plans ending
December 31, 2012 to report and pay the fee by July 31, 2013. This includes the
County’s self-insured health plan. The fee is $1 per average covered life,
totaling $9,204. The regulations require the fee to be reported on the
Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return Form 720 (specifically noted on Part II of
the form), which must be executed by the Board of County Commissioners, or its
delegated authority. Countywide (TKF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $53,800 from the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO).
SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055(5) provides that the seizing agency
shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime prevention,
safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other
law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or complex
investigations, providing additional equipment or expertise, purchasing
automated external defibrillators, and providing matching grant funds. F.S.
932.7055(5) also requires that no less than 15% of the LETF’s previous year’s
revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse
education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school
resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY
2013 estimated donation requirement is $59,110. The PBSO’s support of these
programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of
crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back
into these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The year-to-date transfer for all donations to
outside organizations after approval of this item is $1,048,244. The funds are requested here are to aid PBSO
and qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S.
932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the
Sheriff. The current State LETF balance
is $1,096,219. Approval of this request will reduce the
State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,042,419. The PBSO certifies that
the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055. Below is a table indicating the organizations
the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per
respective organization or agency. No
new positions are needed and no additional County funds are required. Countywide (PGE)

A. Staff recommends
motion to:
1) adopt a Resolution approving the Palm Beach County
Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2013-2014; and
2) authorize the Mayor, or his designee, to execute
Standard Forms 424 and Certifications for submission to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to receive Fiscal Year 2013-2014 formula
grant funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency
Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Programs.
Summary: At the
March 26, 2013, Workshop the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) established
the priorities for the Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Action Plan (AP). Federal Regulation 24 CFR Part 91 requires
the County to submit an AP to HUD no later than August 14, 2013, to receive
CDBG, ESG, and HOME entitlement grants for FY 2013-2014. Failure to meet the deadline will
automatically result in the loss of all funds for the upcoming year. On May 29, 2013, the County was formally
notified that CDBG funding would increase by nine percent (9%) and HOME funding
by one percent (1%). The ESG funding was
decreased by twenty-six percent (26%). However,
staff continues to receive notice that Congress has not approved these
allocations which may cause a change to the proposed funding amounts for each
program. Staff is recommending that the
additional CDBG funding be utilized to:
increase Economic Development Activities by $80,000 to fund the Center
for Enterprise Opportunity; establish a Utility Connection Program in the
amount of $35,000; and to provide a 9% increase to Public Services, Local
Entitlement Municipalities, County-Initiated Projects, and Special Area of
Hope. Staff recommends that all HOME activities are proportionately increased. The Division of Human and Veterans Services
Non-Conflict Grant Review Committee made funding recommendations reflecting the
revised ESG grant award, resulting in a reduction of 10-29 percent from the
initial amount based on the funding category and scoring. A
summary of the draft AP and a Notice of Public Hearing were published on June
16, 2013. This funding is projected to
create 345 jobs and have a five year Economic Sustainability Impact of
$54,540,000. The ESG required 100% local match will be provided by the
thirteen ESG-funded agencies, the Division of Human Services, and the
Department of Economic Sustainability.
The HOME required local match ($342,517) will be provided from the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership Program. CDBG funds require no local match.

Florida nonprofit corporation (Borrower), to construct and equip the Arthur I.
Meyer Jewish Academy (Project). The
academy, a day school for children attending kindergarten through the eighth
grade, will be located at 5225 Hood Road, Palm Beach Gardens. The academy will be owned and operated by the
Borrower and/or leased to, and operated by, the Arthur I. Meyer Jewish Academy,
Inc., a Florida nonprofit corporation. Approval by an elected body is required by the
Internal Revenue Code, however, adoption of this
Resolution does not in any way obligate the County. The Economic Impact Analysis demonstrates a
positive impact exceeding $45 Million over five years for the Project. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and
credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay the

requests Board approval: on a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, requesting
the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior to require the
application of the two-part determination of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
(IGRA) to the Seminole Coconut Creek land-into-trusts application. SUMMARY:
The Seminole Tribe (Tribe) has developed plans to transform the Seminole
Coconut Creek Casino into one of the largest destination casino resorts in the
State of Florida. The Tribe has made application to the United States
Department of the Interior to take 45 acres of land into trust for the casino
resort complex to develop a proposed 20-story 1,000 room hotel, 2,500 seat
showroom, an expanded parking structure, a pool and spa facility, 47,000 square
feet of retail, a conference center and associated facilities. This proposal
would create more hotel space than there currently is at the Seminole Hard Rock
Casino, also in Broward County. The IGRA requires a “two-part determination”
for off-reservation lands to be taken into trust for gaming purposes and
permits approval of a land-into-trust application for a “gaming establishment”
if the Secretary of the Interior concludes that approval is in the best
interest of the tribe, will not be detrimental to the surrounding community,
and the Governor of the State concurs. Therefore, Palm Beach County, given its
proximity to this project and the potential impact it may have on the southern
portion of the county, is supporting this request for a two-part determination.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Sandy
impacted the Palm Beach County coastline on October 29, 2012, causing
substantial damage to the federally authorized Jupiter Carlin and Delray Beach
Shore Protection projects. Rehabilitation funding appropriated by Congress
allows the Corps of Engineers (COE) to replace sand lost during the storm at
100% cost to the federal government, which is estimated to be $4 million for the
JCS and $1.7 million for the DBS. The
CAs set the terms and responsibilities of both the COE and the County. The PPA
for the DBS allows for the remainder of the design beach fill template to be
filled by the COE at a cost share of 56% Federal, 44% non-Federal share. Sufficient funding for the Federal share,
estimated to be $2.53 million, has been authorized for this work by
Congress. The estimated non-Federal
share is $2 million, of which $1 million is anticipated to be eligible for
reimbursement by the State. A letter
sent by the DoA with additional information was

February 25, 2013, when the lease expired.
Roth Farms has farmed the property since before the County’s acquisition
of the property in 2007. On December 20,
2012, SFWMD issued a Request for Bid (RFB) to lease both parcels for a period
of one year. It was in the best interest

security, or failure to comply with representative responsibilities relating to
security, may result in suspension of the License Agreement. In the event of a license suspension, County
will assume the scheduling and will permit uses that are consistent with the
License Agreement. City will also assess and collect City fees for
administrative processing, facility use and the on-site City staff. A refundable
deposit is also required. (FDO Admin) Countywide (MJ)

B) Staff to submit to the Property Appraiser
public hearing dates of Monday, September 9 at 6 p.m. and Monday, September 23
at 6 p.m. in the Commission Chambers, 6th floor of the Governmental
Center for FY 2014;
C) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2014 budget for capital projects approved and established in
the current fiscal year. These projects
were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2013) after the preparation of the
proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2014 budget.
These adjustments will have no impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be
incorporated into the tentative budget to be presented at the first public
hearing; and
D) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2014 budget for designated fund balances for contingency and
other projects and carryover for encumbrances. These balances and encumbrances
were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2013) after the preparation of the
proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2014
budget. These adjustments will have no
impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative
budget to be presented at the first public hearing.
SUMMARY: The
proposed millage rates for Countywide, Library, & Fire Rescue MSTU are at
the current year millage rate, and above rollback. The millage rate for the Jupiter Fire MSTU is
below the current rate and above rollback. Countywide (PFK)

TIME CERTAIN 2:00 P.M.
A) recommends motion to deny a request by Metro Mobility Management
Group, LLC (MMMG) to extend the vehicle mileage limit from 250,000 to 300,000
miles;
B) recommends motion to deny a request by MMMG to increase dedicated
service percentage from 70% to 75%;
C) requests Board direction regarding: 1) Continuation
of the current Contract with MMMG provided full compliance is achieved and
maintained; or 2) Termination of the Contract with MMMG in part for failure to
perform; or 3) Termination of the Contract with MMMG in whole for failure to
perform; and 4) Assessment of liquidated damages.
Summary: On June 26, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a
Contract (R2012-0934) with Metro Mobility Management Group, LLC (MMMG) for the
provision of paratransit services for a term of five years in the amount of
$90,246,070.12. On April 23, 2013, the
BCC discussed MMMG’s performance failures under the Contract. MMMG was
encouraged to have the automatic vehicle location system (AVL) system fully
implemented by July 16, 2013 to enable the BCC to better evaluate complaints
regarding on-time performance and consider MMMG’s status. The BCC postponed a
decision on the assessment of liquidated damages. Additionally, the BCC
approved modifications to a proposed Amendment to the Contract, which primarily
relates to Palm Tran Connection doing 100% of the scheduling. The parties have
been unable to agree upon the terms of this Agreement. Since the April 23, 2013 BCC meeting, MMMG
has implemented the AVL system, achieved 43% DBE participation, and has brought
both the on-time performance and complaint ratios to within the contract
requirements. However, MMMG has failed
to meet Contract requirements for their vehicle breakdown ratio, accident
ratio, maintenance requirements, mileage compliance, and liquidated
damages. MMMG has requested that the
mileage limit on vehicles be increased from 250,000 to 300,000, which Staff
does not support as it has potential negative ramifications on customer safety
and is not consistent with the original solicitation. Additionally, MMMG has requested that the
dedicated service route percentage be increased from the current rate of 70% to
75%. Staff does not support this request
as it has negative budget impacts of approximately $6.2 Million over the
remainder of the five year Contract. The Contract has a maximum liquidated
damage limit of $100,000 over any 12 month period. MMMG’s accumulated liquidated damages through
the first ten months (May 2013) of the Contract are $2,208,525. At the April 23, 2013 BCC meeting, the total
liquidated damages through February 2013, was $1,413,537. Staff recommended waiving $951,607 of this
amount. Due to the fact that MMMG is in
default under the Contract with respect to liquidated damage limits, vehicle
accident ratio, breakdown ratio, maintenance, spare ratio, mileage and age,
Staff is seeking Board direction regarding termination in part for failure to
perform, termination in whole for failure to perform, or continuation of the
current Contract provided full compliance is achieved and maintained. Countywide
