A) approve a First Amendment to the Agreement to Construct with Toll FL V Limited Partnership;

 

B) execute a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE); and

 

C) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to execute a Temporary Construction Access Easement (TCAE) pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment to Agreement to Construct.

 

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) District 1 (HJF)

A)  a Donation Agreement with Urban Growers Community Economic 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)

(CPT) to provide medical evaluations for children 0-17 who are alleged victims of abuse, neglect and/or abandonment, excluding sexual abuse, and are referred to CPT by law enforcement, Department of Children and Families (DCF) and/or the courts for the period October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2016 in the amount of $615,000, not to exceed $205,000 per fiscal year.  SUMMARY:  The CPT program is funded by legislature through the Department of Health, Children’s Medical Service office. Florida Statute-Chapter 39.304(5) provides that the county in which the child is a resident shall bear the initial costs of medical evaluations of the allegedly abused, abandoned, or neglected child.   CPT will be funded to provide medical evaluations for up to 820 children who reside in Palm Beach County and are referred to CPT by law enforcement, DCF and/or the courts.  This service will be based on an exam rate of $250 per child.  A medical evaluation is defined as a complete history and physical examination of a child.  Medical evaluations for children who are alleged victims of sexual abuse are excluded from this contract as those exams are funded through a different source. R2013-1230 authorizes the County Administrator or his designee to execute contracts, amendments, and modifications with Child Protection Team of Palm Beach, Inc. on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners.

A) Agreement Reinstating and Amending the Terms of Contract dated November 7, 2012 for a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) Update, Training and Scenario Based Exercise with the City of Pahokee to January 31, 2014 and to change the grant funding source; and

 

B) Agreement Reinstating and Amending the Terms of Contract dated November 7, 2012 for Evacuation and Re-Entry Plan, Training and Scenario Based Exercise with the City of Pahokee to January 31, 2014 and to change the grant funding source. 

 

SUMMARY: On November 7, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners allocated $90,000 to the City of Pahokee for two projects; 1) a COOP Plan update; and 2) a Re-Entry/Evacuation plan, training and exercise for the Cities of Pahokee, Belle Glade and South Bay.

6.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve a First Amendment to the Contract with American Red Cross (Red Cross) (R2010-2143) dated December 21, 2010; and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee, to execute subsequent Amendments to the Contract.

 

SUMMARY: The Department of Public Safety oversees the management of Cold Weather Shelters through its Division of Emergency 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.

            A.        COUNTY ATTORNEY

 

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)

B.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

 

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.

            C.        FIRE RESCUE

 

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, 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:

 

                        Basic Life                     Advanced Life               Advanced Life

Effective Date         Support (BLS)               Suppport-1 (ALS1)        Support-2 (ALS2)          Mileage

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)

                                    TIME CERTAIN 10:00 A.M.

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 (MRE/PM)
