PAGE ITEM
28 4B-2* REVISED 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 $45,127.95 ($194/SF $19.40/SF) in rent for
their administrative offices. The term of the Agreement runs through 2038. The
Society has requested that County abate the rent for a period of five
years. In addition, the Society has
requested exclusive use of a 41 SF custodial closet within the second floor
women’s bathroom. Staff supports the
Society’s request to have exclusive use of the custodial closet, and this
Second Amendment includes that change. Staff does not support allowing the Society
to occupy space within the 1916 Courthouse without payment of rent, and the
Amendment does not provide for rent abatement unless directed by Board. 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, the requested five
year rent abatement: 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

Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease Renewal and Modification with the Board of
Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Trustees) at Ocean Inlet Park
Marina located in Ocean Ridge. SUMMARY: The County owns and operates
the Ocean Inlet Marina, a portion of which was constructed over sovereign lands
of the State of Florida. The County
currently leases from Trustees 35,703 square feet (.82 acres) within the marina
(R97-2144) (Lease). The Lease was
renewed in 2003 for an additional ten-year period (R2003-0653) which expired on
October 24, 2012. Subsequent to the Lease Renewal, the County discovered
through a title and survey review that a portion of the leased area was
actually owned by the County resulting in a decrease of the lease area to
27,105 square feet (.62 acres) and a reduced annual lease rate of
$3,094.14. This Lease Renewal will
retroactively extend the term of the lease for 10 years until October 24, 2022.
The Lease Renewal allows the County to operate docking facilities in
conjunction with an upland public park with a sewage pump-out facility, but
prohibits fueling facilities and liveaboards.
The annual lease fee will be adjusted annually pursuant to Section 18-21.011
of the Florida Administrative Code. The County is also responsible to pay the
State the amount by which six percent (6%) of gross revenue from wet slip
rental exceeds the base rental. All
Lease fees are budgeted by the Parks and Recreation Department under annual

Corporation (FHFC) for participation in the Principal Reduction Program (PRP); and
B) delegation of
authority to the County Administrator, or his designee, to execute all other
documents necessary to participate in this Program.
Summary: On August 13, 2013, the County entered into
the Hardest Hit Fund Servicer Participation Agreement (R2013-1062) with FHFC for the use of funds
received from the United States Treasury Department under the Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) to provide financial assistance to eligible unemployed or under-employed
homeowners through the Unemployment Mortgage Assistance Program and the Mortgage
Loan Reinstatement Program. These programs were created by FHFC to make
mortgage payments on behalf of eligible delinquent homeowners to prevent
foreclosure. FHFC has since
created a new program, the PRP, to assist eligible homeowners whose incomes are
below 140% of area median income, who have remained current on their first
mortgage payments and who owe at least 125% of the current market value of
their homes (commonly referred to as being “underwater”). The Program provides up $50,000 to reduce the
principal balance of first mortgages whose outstanding balance is no more than
$350,000 by reducing the loan-to-value to no less than 100%. Participating
in PRP will allow the County, as a first mortgage lender, to receive payments
from FHFC on behalf of homeowners who are approved for this assistance. Countywide

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Consent for Palm Beach
County Clerk & Comptroller’s employee Andrene Beckford-Lyew to purchase a
home with a $39,473.68 subsidy
under the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program. Summary: Andrene Beckford-Lyew has been employed by
Palm Beach County Clerk &
Comptroller as a Deputy Clerk for four years and ten months. Mrs. Beckford-Lyew and her husband are income eligible homebuyers who are seeking
to purchase a four-bedroom home in the Kennedy Estates II (KE II) development
at 17210 Foundation Way, Jupiter, under the Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach
County’s (Habitat) Program. On April 1, 2009, the County entered into an
Agreement (R2009-0658) with Habitat to provide $750,000 in SHIP funds to
purchase the land for KE II where Habitat is building 19 affordable homes. The
assistance provided to Habitat, amounting to $39,473.68 per home, is to be
passed onto income qualified homeowners in the form of a subsidy at the time of
purchase. The subsidy will be secured by
a 30 year Second Mortgage from the homeowner and this mortgage will require no
repayment as long as the home remains the homeowner’s principal place of
residence. If the homeowner rents, sells,
or otherwise conveys the home during the 30 years, the entire amount becomes
due and payable. In order to assure
affordability of the homes built in KE II, the Agreement required the sale price
to be less than $90,000. The home to be
purchased by Mrs. Beckford-Lyew was
appraised at $177,000. These are
State SHIP funds which require no local match. (B&HI) District 1

motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $308,908 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 2014 estimated
donation requirement will not be finalized until year-end close-out. 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
$308,908. 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 $1,037,034. Approval of this request will reduce the
State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $728,126. 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)

motion to approve: Amendment No. 7 to Use Agreement (R93-75-D)
with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for a monitoring well
site located near the northwest corner of Lake Lytal Park in West Palm Beach at
no charge. SUMMARY: Since 1993, the SFWMD has leased various
ground areas in the northwest corner of Lake Lytal Park to place monitoring
wells to study the Florida aquifer. The Agreement has been amended six times to
extend the term, which currently expires on January 12, 2014, and to amend the
leased areas. Since 2002, all wells,
with the exception of the Tri-Zone well, have been abandoned. The Tri-Zone well comprises an area less than
100 SF. Parks & Recreation foresees
future development in the northwest corner of Lake Lytal Park and has agreed to
a five year term extension expiring January 12, 2019, with a ninety day cancellation
provision. Should the Agreement be
canceled, SFWMD is required to close and cap the well and remove any
improvements. In addition to the term extension, Amendment No. 7 updates the

2. REVISED SUMMARY: 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 increasing
the Premises by 41 SF and requiring continued payment of rent for their
administrative offices. 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 $45,127.95 ($194/SF
$19.40/SF) in rent for their administrative offices. The term of the
Agreement runs through 2038. The Society has requested that County abate the
rent for a period of five years. In
addition, the Society has requested exclusive use of a 41 SF custodial closet
within the second floor women’s bathroom.
Staff supports the Society’s request to have exclusive use of the
custodial closet, and this Second Amendment includes that change. Staff does
not support allowing the Society to occupy space within the 1916 Courthouse
without payment of rent, and the Amendment does not provide for rent abatement
unless directed by Board. 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, the requested five year rent abatement: 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)

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) waive the competitive procurement
process for Tee Time Advertising and Sales Agreements; and
B) adopt a Resolution authorizing the County Administrator or his
designee to execute standard form agreements for tee time advertising and sales
services at County golf facilities.
Summary: The Parks and Recreation
Department (Department) has excess tee times, primarily at off peak times,
which go unsold at its golf facilities every day. Due to the marketing and promoting efforts of
tee time advertising and sales organizations, many golfers utilize online
services, leisure coordinators, and hotel concierges, to reserve their tee
times in the County. The Department currently works with two providers, CanAm
and GolfNow, which have sent approximately 19,000 rounds of golf and $670,000
in user fees in the past year to County golf courses. The Department wishes to expand its access to
these golfers by contracting with these and other qualified
organizations to market and promote the County’s excess tee times. In return these organizations receive a
commission, trade rounds, or discounted rounds for their services. Attracting
these customers will increase golf revenues without impacting existing user
accessibility. Chapter 2, Article III, Section 2-54(h) of the Palm Beach County
Code, allows the Board to waive the requirements for competitive selection and
approve professional services upon recommendation of the County Administrator.
Since the Department will contract with multiple qualified companies, the
County Administrator is requesting the Board waive the competitive procurement
process for these services. Staff is recommending the Board approve a
resolution which delegates authority to the County Administrator or his
designee to execute the standard form agreement for tee time advertising and
sales services up to $100,000 for advertising and selling excess County tee
times. This waiver of the competitive procurement process is supported by the
Purchasing Department. Countywide (AH)
D. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: two
waivers under the Residential Rehabilitation Program (Program) for Anita Flores
of Pahokee as follows: A) a
waiver to exceed the $10,000 per home limit for lead-based paint
abatement related costs by authorizing an additional $9,862.33 to abate lead
based paint; and B) a waiver to exceed the $45,000 per home
rehabilitation funding limit by authorizing an additional $12,300 for
rehabilitation construction costs. Summary: Anita Flores is a very low income homeowner
residing in Pahokee. The rehabilitation
of her home (built in 1943) includes work for the removal of lead-based paint
hazards costing $19,862.33 which exceeds the $10,000 per home limit authorized
by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for
the Program. In addition, the rehabilitation
scope of work to cure code violations in this home is $57,300 which exceeds the
BCC established $45,000 funding limit.
Both waivers to Program funding limits are necessary to proceed with the
rehabilitation of Ms. Flores’ home.
Under the Program funding for the removal of lead-based paint hazards is
provided as a grant, and rehabilitation funding is secured by a 15 year
non-repayable mortgage and promissory note. These are Federal Community
Development Block Grant funds which require no local match. (CREIS Section) District 6 (TKF)

(CRM) to acquire 2.72 acres located on 2010 Northwest 1st Street, west
of North Congress Avenue and north of West Atlantic Avenue, in the City of
Delray Beach, for $935,000; and
B) a Memorandum of
Agreement to be recorded in the public records to provide notice of this
Agreement.
SUMMARY: Palm Tran’s fixed route ridership has grown
significantly over the last ten years with average ridership increasing by 65%
to over 12 million passenger trips annually. To address future growth, the
Board of County Commissioners approved Palm Tran’s long-range Transportation
Development Plan (TDP) on November 15, 2011. Currently, Palm Tran’s
South County facility in Delray Beach is at or nearing capacity for bus
parking. Staff has identified two adjacent available vacant parcels totaling
2.72 acres that can accommodate future expansion needs. Accordingly, PREM staff
has negotiated a purchase and sale agreement to acquire these two parcels. This
acquisition will initially be funded by the County, followed by a reimbursement
through Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) grant FL-90-X812 which has
been challenged by the Amalgamated Transit Union. Pursuant to FTA grant
procedures, the County obtained an appraisal by Parrish and Edwards, Inc. which
valued the property at $935,000 and a review appraisal from Anderson and Carr,
Inc. which supported the valuation. This is the minimum purchase price the
County can pay under the FTA grant guidelines. The property will remain vacant
until grant funds become available for improvements. PREM staff has obtained an
environmental assessment of the property, survey and title review and is
satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigations. The Agreement provides for a ten day
Inspection Period to update the prior due diligence. Closing will occur within 15 days of approval
of this Agreement. The County will be responsible for approximately $12,000 in
closing costs bringing the total cost to $947,000. The Agreement for Purchase and Sale must be approved by a supermajority
vote (5 Commissioners). (Palm Tran) District

funded by Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) through a transfer of funds

Tourist Development Council from Discover, allows for a broader more targeted
airlift program development providing service to all agencies contracted by the
TDC. The cooperative effort between the TDC and PBIA will allow this position
to be a BCC position, but fully funded by the Airport Enterprise Fund. The
