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 State Program funding

prescription medication. The amount of funding unexpended by our local network
of providers varies each year. This

SUMMARY: Toll FL V Limited Partnership (Toll
Brothers) is currently developing Frenchman’s Harbor PUD located on the north
side of the County’s Bert Winters Park, along Ellison Wilson Road, in
unincorporated Juno Beach. On December
7, 2010, the County entered into an Agreement to Construct (Agreement)
(R2010-2003) with Toll Brothers for the conveyance of the PUD’s 1.54 acre civic
site to the County by September 1, 2010. The Agreement required the County to
grant Toll Brothers a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) within the Park to
install the sewer line to the Park restroom and a Temporary Construction Access
Easement (TCAE) over the civic site for installation of a lift station and
utility lines and temporary access across the civic site to the Frenchman’s
Harbor development – both easements to be granted to Toll Brothers after
conveyance of the civic site to the County. However, by operation of Florida
Senate Bill’s 1752 and 2156, the civic site conveyance date was extended to
July 22, 2014. The County is in the
planning stages of redeveloping Bert Winters Park and desires to have Toll
Brothers connect the sewer line to the Park restrooms prior to conveyance of
the civic site. Toll Brothers has agreed
to install the sewer line now in exchange for the County further extending the
conveyance date to not earlier than April 2015, but no later than October 2015,
and allowing Toll Brother’s construction trailers/asphalt parking to remain on
the eastern portion of the civic site for up to six months after conveyance or 30 days
after County provides notice that it is ready to commence construction of Park
improvements. County Staff has agreed to this timeframe as it will roughly
coincide with the date Parks and Recreation anticipates construction to begin
on the planned improvements to the park. These proposed modifications to the
Agreement, TCE and TCAE will not have a negative impact on the County’s
redevelopment plans for the Park. (PREM)

Development Corporation, a not for profit corporation; and
B) a Temporary
Construction Easement with Mack & Son, LLC for the removal of fencing
located at 1200 45th Street, West Palm Beach.
SUMMARY: Urban Growers Community Economic
Development Corporation, a not for profit corporation (Urban Growers) has
requested donation of the aluminum fencing located at 1200 45th Street, West
Palm Beach, the former Edward J. Healey Nursing and Rehabilitation Center (the
“Property”), for use at Urban Growers Community Farm located at 1400 Henrietta
Avenue. The fencing was declared a
surplus asset of the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (District) and
became a surplus County asset upon approval of an agreement with the District
dated June 18, 2013 (R2013-0757). The estimated value of the fencing based on
County’s existing scrap metal contract is approximately $248. Staff determined that a credit for the value
of the scrap metal would be equal to or less than the labor associated with
demolition. Urban Growers has contracted
with Mack & Son, LLC for the removal of the fencing and has agreed to pay
all costs for the disassembly, removal and relocation of the fencing. The Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) is
granted to Mack & Son, LLC for the purpose of entering, disassembly and
removal of the fencing from the areas depicted on Exhibit “B” to the TCE. The term of the TCE is until the earlier of
completion of the project or December 30, 2013. The Donation Agreement could be
approved administratively, but the item is being presented to the Board for
approval due to the TCE. (FDO Admin) Countywide (MJ)

Management. The Red Cross has provided this service at the Westgate Community
Center and the West County Senior Center. Contract R2010-2143 set forth standard costs for meals, blankets, and
medical/hygiene kits. For the 2013-2014 cold weather season,
the reimbursement rate paid by the County for the cost of blankets will
increase from $4.95 to $7. The price increase reflects the actual material
cost. Countywide (PGE)

1. Staff recommends
motion to ratify: the County Internal Auditor’s signature on an Agreement
with the Association of Local Government Auditors to conduct a peer review of
the Internal Auditor’s Office at an estimated cost of $4,500. SUMMARY: Government
Auditing Standards require a triennial peer review of each audit organization
conducting audits in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. This requirement applies to the County
Internal Auditor’s Office. The review
will be conducted by the Association of Local Government Auditors. The only cost to Palm Beach County for the
peer review is the travel costs for the three person team conducting the
review. Countywide (PFK)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on
December 17, 2013, at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Palm Beach County Code,
Chapter 9, Article I, codifying Ordinance No. 72-2, as amended, “The Palm Beach
County Consumer Affairs Ordinance,” relating to consumer affairs and unfair or
deceptive trade practices; and adopting a new consumer affairs ordinance;
providing for title; providing for definitions; providing for scope of
ordinance; providing for exemptions; providing for other rights and remedies;
providing for a Consumer Affairs Division; providing for a Director of Consumer
Affairs; providing for powers of Director; providing for complaints; providing
for the prohibition of unfair or deceptive trade practices; providing for a
consumer affairs hearing board; providing for powers of the consumer affairs
hearing board–proceedings at hearing; providing for assurance of voluntary
compliance; providing for cease and desist order of director; providing for
order to show cause; providing for statutes adopted; providing for enforcement
and civil penalties; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for
savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code
of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; and, providing for an effective
date. SUMMARY: The current
Consumer Affairs Ordinance was last amended in 1977. Due to the substantial
procedural and substantive changes made to the ordinance with the purpose of
bringing it into compliance with the numerous County policies and procedures
implemented since 1977, including Resolution 2013-0193 concerning County
Advisory Boards affecting the Consumer Affairs Hearing Board, repealing and replacing
the Consumer Affairs Ordinance in its entirety is more efficient than amending
it piecemeal. The League of Cities has no opposition to the proposed
ordinance. The Consumer Affairs Hearing
Board supports the proposed ordinance in its present form. Countywide (PGE)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a Deposit Receipt
and Contract for Sale and Purchase (Agreement) with Southern Investments
Partnership, L.P. (Southern Investments) for the sale of a 10.73 acre parcel of
County-owned property known as Haverhill Linear Park, located in West Palm
Beach for $1,005,429; and
B) a County Deed in favor of Southern Investments 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 24+/- acre parcel of land, commonly known as Haverhill Linear
Park, from the Town of Haverhill in May 2007.
The County parcel was a 210’ wide strip of land extending from Belvedere
Road to Southern Boulevard. The County
donated the northern 11.8 acre portion of the property to the Boys and Girls
Clubs, leaving approximately 10.73 acres of undeveloped property south of the
LWDD L-4 Canal. The property is
currently encumbered with a Conservation Easement and is also subject to
mineral rights reservations, royalty interests and an oil, gas and mineral
lease. The property was advertised for
sale and an Invitation For Bids was issued in June
2013. Southern Investments submitted the
only bid for $1,005,429 ($93,702 per acre).
Southern Investments’ bid amount for the County property is 19.5% higher
than the price it paid for 58 adjacent acres purchased from Palm Beach Atlantic
University in 2012. Staff obtained two appraisals of the property using an
assumption that the property was not subject to the Conservation Easement. The appraisals valued the County property at
$1,450,000 ($135,135/acre) and $1,575,000 ($146,785/acre). Staff obtained one appraisal valuing the
County property as subject to the Conservation Easement at $187,000
($17,428/acre). Staff believes that the
appraisals reflect the range between: 1) the value of the property to Southern
Investments for assemblage into its adjoining property; and 2) the value to the
County for sale as a standalone parcel.
Because of that significant variation and the fact that it is 19.5%
higher than the price paid for adjacent property, Staff also believes that the
bid price is very reasonable. On October 21, 2013, the Property Review
Committee reviewed the proposed transaction and recommended the sale of the
property to Southern Investments at its bid price. The property is being sold “As Is” and
Southern Investments is responsible for paying all closing costs and any other
costs associated with this transaction.
The County will retain its existing mineral and petroleum rights,
without rights of entry and exploration. This sale must be approved by a supermajority vote (5
Commissioners). Closing is to occur within 30 days of Board
approval. (PREM) District 2 (HJF)

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing a three month term
extension and finding that the First Amendment to Concessionaire Service
Agreement with Dania Pier Management Corp. (DPM) is in the best interest of the
County; and
B) approve a First
Amendment to Concessionaire Service Agreement (R2007-2256) with DPM to
continue operating the concession building at the Juno Beach pier for
$4,562.45/month.
SUMMARY: Since January 1, 2008, DPM has operated the
concession building at the Juno Beach pier.
The Agreement’s initial three year term commenced January 1, 2008,
offered three options to extend the term for one year each, and currently expires
on December 31, 2013. Staff is in the
process of preparing a Request for Proposals for the pier concession services
and believes numerous vendors are interested in operating the concession. Since the Juno Beach pier is extremely busy
during the New Year’s period, Staff recommends extending the term for three
months in order to provide for a smooth transition in the event a new vendor is
chosen. This First Amendment: i) extends
the term of the Agreement for three months from January 1, 2014, to March 31,
2014; ii) modifies the non-discrimination provision; and iii) adds provisions
regarding third party beneficiaries and the Office of the Inspector
General. The current rent of
$4,562.45/month will continue throughout the three month term extension. The Agreement is managed by Parks & Recreation
and they are satisfied with DPM’s performance. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 13, Article II,
Division 3 of the Palm Beach County Code, known as the “Palm Beach County Fire
Rescue Emergency Transport Fee Ordinance”; providing for an increase in
emergency transport fees; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing
for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances;
and providing for an effective date. Summary:
The current fees for emergency transport services are as follows:

January 1, 2011 $530.00 $530.00 $690.00 $10.00
The proposed ordinance amendment provides for an increase in the
emergency transport fee schedule as follows:
Basic
Life Advanced Life Advanced Life
Effective Date Support
(BLS) Suppport-1
(ALS1) Support-2 (ALS2) Mileage
January 1, 2014 $590.00 $590.00 $750.00 $11.50
January 1, 2015 $610.00 $610.00 $770.00 $12.00
January 1, 2016 $630.00 $630.00 $790.00 $12.50
January 1, 2017 $650.00 $650.00 $810.00 $13.00
January 1, 2018 $670.00 $670.00 $830.00 $13.50
Establishing these new rates will ensure that Fire Rescue continues to
receive the Medicare maximum allowance for ground transportation services. These fees were last increased on January 1,
2011. The proposed rates are comparable to other billing agencies within the
County and are estimated to result in an additional $1,985,264 in revenues in
the first full year. Countywide (SGB)

1. Staff recommends
the Board deny: the request from the Village of Royal Palm Beach
(Village) for the County to condemn property owned by the Westwoods HOA to
allow access to Pioneer Road (a public road, current daily volume 2,500 trips)
for a commercial project in the southeast quadrant of State Road 7 (SR 7) and
Pioneer Road. SUMMARY: The Village is asking the County to condemn
approximately 50’ of a 1140’ long by 25’ wide strip
along the south side of Pioneer Road owned by the Westwoods HOA to allow a
100,000 s.f. commercial site within the Village to have access to Pioneer Road
– which would allow site traffic to use the traffic signal at SR 7. The Village
believes this will improve road safety and flow. The developer would pay all costs
associated with the condemnation. The
Village municipal limits stop 25’ south of Pioneer Road. Westwoods, and the area proposed to be
condemned, are within unincorporated Palm Beach County. The commercial site
does have a direct connection to SR 7, but without a Pioneer Road connection,
traffic would be limited to right turns in and right turns out. This would require most trips associated with
the site to make U-turns on SR 7. Access
to the traffic signal would significantly reduce U-turns. The Westwoods PUD sits on the north side of
Pioneer Road, and was approved in the late 1970’s. Five homes have driveway connections onto
Pioneer Road. The Westwoods HOA opposed
the commercial project, which was originally residential property, and does not
want the traffic (an additional 5,000 daily trips) on Pioneer Road. Staff believes that the Village should
execute the condemnation for a Village development, but the Village says they
cannot legally condemn outside their municipal limits in this case. The Developer does own the two adjacent lots
to the east, and the easternmost lot has legal access to Pioneer approximately
1325’ from SR 7. Therefore, the potential exists that the commercial traffic
could gain access to Pioneer through the adjacent lots. District 6
