U. INFORMATION SYSTEMS
SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) the establishment
of new map server fees applicable as additional “GIS Hosting Service” provided
by Palm Beach County Information Systems Services (ISS) to qualifying external
agencies: and
B) the addition of
two new bandwidth rates for “Network Services” provided by ISS to qualifying

SUMMARY: ISS is
proposing new map server fees (Attachment 1 to the Agenda Item) for providing
additional GIS hosting services when file and map services are requested, and
the addition of two bandwidth rates for providing network services (Attachment

Beach County’s history of collaboration with public sector agencies which has
resulted in service improvements for the connected agencies, cost savings to

which adds two articles that detail special conditions for nondiscrimination in

2. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Boynton Beach to provide grant
project funding of $24,268 for night
vision and forensic crime lab equipment for the period February 18, 2014,
through April 30, 2014. SUMMARY: The County was awarded $217,720 from
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through the City of Miami Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI) 2012 Grant. The City of Boynton Beach will be
awarded $24,268 for its Police Department, of which $12,317 is being allocated
for night vision equipment while $11,951 is being allocated towards forensic
crime lab equipment. The Urban Area Working Group decreased the original
$44,471 requested and provided $24,268 instead to purchase law enforcement
equipment to protect Florida’s citizens, visitors and critical infrastructure
in line with the Miami UASI’s strategy. Both of these projects have been
approved by the City of Miami UAWG as the regional fiscal agent’s approval
authority. R2013-0622 authorizes the County Administrator or his designee to
execute all UASI sub-grant contracts on behalf of the Board of County
Commissioners for the UASI Grant Program. No
County matching funds are required. Countywide (PGE)
Z. RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: renewal of the County’s excess property, liability, and workers’ compensation insurance program for the period April 1, 2014, through March 31, 2015 purchased through the County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc., under Contract No. 10-042R/LJ, for a total cost not-to-exceed $10,886,276. SUMMARY: The projected 2014-2015 renewal figures reflect a stable insurance market for property and liability, with an exceptionally hard market for excess workers’ compensation. As a result, staff recommends purchasing statutory/uncapped excess coverage for workers’ compensation above the self-insured retention (SIR) of $2.5M for each occurrence, eliminating the lesser SIR of $2M for subsequent claims filed. Property and liability coverage levels remain the same as the expiring policy and the County’s total insured value currently stands at $2.4 billion dollars. The total not-to-exceed cost of $10,886,276 represents a decrease of approximately 6% over the expiring program. The cost of the program is also impacted by a variety of state mandated surcharges and assessments. Sufficient funds are budgeted in FY 2014 for this coverage. Countywide (TKF)

TRAN
1. Staff
recommends motion to:
A) approve the filing of the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) Grant Application FL-95-X067 for capital funds allocated
to Palm Beach County in the amount of $3,000,000; and
B) approve the FTA Master Agreement FTA MA(20) dated October 1,
2013; and
C) authorize
the Palm Tran Executive Director or Assistant Executive Director through the
County Administrator, on behalf of the Board, to execute and transmit
electronically the Board’s approval of the Master Agreement and the grant
award.
Summary: On September 20, 2012, the Metropolitan
Planning Organization adopted the 2014-2018 Transportation Improvement Program which identifies transportation priorities for the
County. Included in these priorities is the procurement of hybrid buses for
Palm Tran to replace older diesel buses. In support of this initiative, the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) approved $3,000,000 for the
procurement of the buses, and those funds are now available for grant award
through the FTA. The grant requires a 20% local match which will be covered by
toll revenue credits already approved by FDOT; therefore, the project budget will
be covered at 100% with no Ad-Valorum funds required. The FTA requires that the County approve the
Master Agreement on an annual basis. Approval of the Master Agreement confirms
the County’s intent to comply with the terms and conditions identified in FTA MA(20) dated October 1, 2013. Countywide (DR)

BB. SHERIFF
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $247,384 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 is $65,729.
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 $912,427. The funds 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 $1,208,339.
Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund
balance to $960,955. 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. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a revised
scope of services to be included in the FY 2015 Behavioral Health Services
request for proposal (RFP) under the Financially Assisted Agencies Program;
B) authorize the County Administrator to execute a database
sharing and use agreement with the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network
for tracking of substance abuse and mental health (behavioral health) services;
and
C) approve a phased
approach to eliminate the New and/or Continuing Initiatives and Innovative
Programs category by FY 2017.
Summary: The Department of Community Services has
conducted public forums, attended and received input from the OK2TALK series,
and worked extensively with Southeast
Florida Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN), the managing entity for substance
abuse and mental health services for the State of Florida, Department of
Children and Families. For FY 2015 there are three service
categories open for the Request for Proposal (RFP) process for program and
services provided by community-based organizations under the Financially
Assisted Agencies Program. These service
categories are Special Needs, Substance Abuse and Mental Health. A change to the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health service categories is being recommended by the Citizen’s Advisory
Committee on Health & Human Services and department staff. The proposed change is to combine the two
service categories into a single new service category to be titled Behavioral
Health services. This will address the
needs identified during the process to: recognize co-occurring disorders,
increase care coordination across services and categories and better utilize
data to support and improve client services, programming and resource
development. Staff is also recommending that the County Administrator be
authorized to enter into a data sharing agreement with SEFBHN and that the
Board phase out the New and/or Continuing Initiatives and Innovative Programs
service category by FY 2017.
Programs/Providers can initiate new and innovative programs during the
RFP process within the existing service categories, and the four agencies that
currently receive funding in this service category will be advised to apply
within one of the other appropriate categories as the category opens for
competitive RFP. Countywide (TKF)
