3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL
A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) the allocation
of $87,380 by the Office of Community Revitalization for the implementation of
the following projects:
1) Limestone
Creek – funding toward the construction of a community identity sign ($12,380);
and
2) All
Districts – funding toward Putting Kids First ($75,000); and
B) Budget Transfer of $87,380 from the CCRT Reserve Funding
Account to establish project budgets for these projects.
SUMMARY: The above
projects were reviewed and recommended for funding by the Countywide Community
Revitalization Team (CCRT) on March 11, 2014. The CCRT is comprised of
neighborhood representatives as well as representatives from various County
departments and agencies, including: the School District, the Palm Beach County
Sheriff’s Office, Community Services, Water Utilities Department, Engineering
Department, Department of Economic Sustainability, Code Enforcement, Planning,
Zoning and Building Divisions, Parks and Recreation, Fire Rescue, Animal Care
and Control, Drowning Prevention, Health Department, and the Solid Waste
Authority. Putting
Kids First is a program established by the Board in 2006 to provide school
supplies to approximately 12,000 underserved kids throughout Palm Beach County.
Along with school supplies, children also receive
free school physicals, immunizations, haircuts, and clothing to ensure that
they are admitted to school. Additionally, the Putting Kids First event
provides the families exposure to other community resources to help them on
their road to self-sufficiency and improve their children’s success in school. Funding for
this and the community identity sign for Limestone Creek is available from CCRT
Recouped Funding Reserves, which resulted from previously scheduled or
completed CCRT projects. Countywide (AH)

AGENDA APPROVAL
C. ENGINEERING
& PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution to approve the County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) Agreement
with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the
acquisition of right-of-way (R/W) for turn lane improvements at the
intersection of Military Trail and Northlake Boulevard;
B) approve the Memorandum of Agreement for the CIGP agreement which outlines the financial requirements for the CIGP agreement;
C) approve a Budget Transfer of $190,000 from Impact Fee Zone 1 Reserves and appropriate it to the Military Trail and Northlake Boulevard Intersection Improvement Project to increase the existing line item to $290,000 and to fully fund Palm Beach County’s (County) 50% share of the R/W acquisition cost; and
D) approve a $288,933 payment to FDOT for the County’s 50% share of the R/W acquisition cost.
SUMMARY: Approval of this CIGP Agreement will allow the County to receive a grant of up to $288,933 (50/50 matching funds) for R/W acquisition for turn lane improvements at the intersection of Military Trail and Northlake Boulevard. The current estimated total cost of the R/W acquisition is $577,866. However, since FDOT has decided to acquire the R/W for the turn lane improvements, the County will not actually collect the $288,933 grant amount from FDOT. The grant amount will be kept by FDOT and added to the matching funds from the County to fully fund the R/W acquisition. The County will be responsible for all costs above the estimated total cost of the R/W acquisition. District 1 (MRE)

SUMMARY: Approval of this Work Order will allow the contractual services necessary to construct the Improvements. Funding is provided through the “Glades Area Repair/Reconstruction” account within the Five Year Road Program. Per County PPM CW-F-050, this Work Order exceeds the threshold relating to staff approvals of contracts, thus requiring approval from the Board of County Commissioners. District 6 (MRE)
4. Staff recommends motion to approve: Work Order No. 2013052-020 (Work Order) in the amount of $285,000 to mill and resurface a portion of the County-maintained residential roads within the Palmetto Pines Subdivision (Improvements) utilizing Palm Beach County’s (County) annual asphalt milling and resurfacing contract R2013-0235 with Community Asphalt Corp.

Per County PPM CW-F-050, this Work Order exceeds the threshold relating to staff approvals of contracts, thus requiring approval from the Board of County Commissioners. The remaining County-maintained residential roads that are within Palmetto Pines are either scheduled to be resurfaced, or have been resurfaced by the County’s Water Utilities Department.

motion to approve: an
Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the Town of Jupiter (Town) to allow Palm
Beach County (County) to assess for the construction of water service
improvements in the Imperial Woods Subdivision (Project), through the Municipal
Service Taxing Units (MSTU) assessment program.
SUMMARY: Approval of this Agreement will allow the Town to
proceed with the Project as desired. The Town desires to expand its water
service into unincorporated Palm Beach County and assess for costs using the
County’s MSTU program. Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, as amended, permits local
governmental units to make the most efficient use of their powers by enabling
them to cooperate with other localities on a basis of mutual advantage. The
Town has agreed to advance the funds for design, permitting and construction of
the Project. Upon completion of the
Project, the County will assess the benefitting property owners over a 20 year
period at an interest rate not to exceed 5% per annum through the MSTU
assessment program. The County will then transfer the collected funds to the
Town. District 1 (MRE)

Hospital can program its radios and utilize the countywide and EMS common talk
groups for certain inter-agency communications expired on May 3, 2014. The Agreement provided for three renewal
options, each for a period of five years.
Hospital has approved a retroactive renewal to extend the term of the

the deadline to obtain all required permits under the Tri-Party Agreement (R2007-0350)
with the City of Riviera Beach and Lockheed Martin Corporation to
provide public access to the Intracoastal Waterway through construction of a
fishing pier and water taxi facility. SUMMARY:
The Tri-Party Agreement was for the development of joint use dock/fishing pier
serving Lockheed Martin’s facility and the County’s adjacent Light Harbor
Park. Funding was from a $1.6M Office of Tourism, Trade, and Economic
Development (OTTED) grant, $400,000 from Lockheed Martin and $400,000 from the
County. The County’s funding was to be used for mitigation and
construction cost overruns. The project was completed and opened to the
public in September of 2011. As indicated in the October 22, 2013 status
report on the Waterfront Bond projects, Staff discovered an oversight in the
administration of the Tri-Party Agreement. The Agreement provided for
automatic termination in the event that all permits for the project were not
obtained within 18 months after the effective date (August 2008).
Permitting for this project was extremely complex, several interim permits were
obtained before the deadline, but the final Army Corp of Engineers permit was
not obtained until July of 2010. This item waives the failure to timely
obtain all required permits by August 2008 and allows for final reimbursement
to the City of $400,000. The City has demonstrated mitigation expenses
for the project totaled $400,000 such that the entire $400,000 in County funding is required for reimbursement of expenditures

motion to approve: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding of
$150,000 for the Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (RBCRA). Summary: On April 27, 2006, the County provided
$87,400 for a consultant to study the development of a public market resulting
in the County Public Market Network: A Business Plan, which proposed a public market site
adjacent to the Riviera Beach Marina. On
December 7, 2010, the County entered into an Interlocal Agreement (R2010-1959)
with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), the City of Riviera
Beach, and the RBCRA to jointly participate in the development of a public
market at the Riviera Beach Marina.
Through this joint participation, the TCRPC received a Farmer’s Market
Promotion Program Grant of $60,204 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and
a $30,000 matching grant from the RBCRA which were used to complete a
feasibility study, business plan, site design, and a preliminary engineering
report. To provide continued support for
the project, staff is recommending the award of $150,000 in CDBG funds to be
utilized for architectural and engineering costs associated with preparation of
construction plans for the Riviera Beach Public Market (Market). The Market which will be located on Avenue C
between East 12th and 13th Streets in Riviera Beach is a
component of RBCRA’s overall Riviera Beach Marina Village. The Market project entails the new
construction of a 48,000 square foot; two-story building that will house
ground-floor stalls for vendors of fresh foods, local and organic products, and
second-floor shops and studio space for local artisans and craftsmen. It is anticipated that 59 businesses will
operate within the Market. The businesses will be both newly-established
businesses and existing businesses expanding and relocation operations. If the Market is not constructed, RBCRA will
be required to repay the CDBG funds to the County. The Public Market project
is projected to create 284 construction jobs, 120 permanent jobs, and have a
five year economic sustainability impact of $51,000,000. These are

Victim Services also generates funds from the reimbursement of sexual battery
initial forensic physical examinations through the Attorney General’s Crime
Victims’ Services Office as set forth in F.S. 960.28 in the amount of

Victim Services provides $152,521.04 to Emergency Service of Wellington, LLC
(ESOW) for a SANE Program Coordinator and a pool of SANE nurses who work on a
stand-by basis to perform forensic rape exams for Victim Services. ESOW agreed to assist
Victim Services when the SANE program started to provide the payroll service
for the nurses at no cost. However, ESOW is not a private nurse service, but
rather a provider of contracted emergency room physicians. Long term,
this is not a service that fits with ESOW’s business goals. Victim Services
considered using a different nurse contracting service but, due to the fees
charged, it does not fit the County’s budget needs. Therefore, Victim
Services is requesting the SANE Program Coordinator become a County
position. This position will manage the
day-to-day operations of the SANE program, supervise up to 12 on-call SANEs,
perform forensic exams, provide expert witness testimony, train
first-responders and emergency room staff county-wide, represent Victim

the position will be deleted from Victim Services complement. In addition, the rape exam rate of up to $300
will only be paid in extreme circumstances when coverage is not available by
other staff to perform the forensic rape exams after hours. The rape exams are 100% funded under F.S.

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $319,700 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 $1,529,642. 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 $960,955. Approval of this request
will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $641,255. 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

Council of Palm Beach County, beginning on June 3, 2014, and ending on
September 30, 2019, providing for the payment of matching funds for the Head
Start Program and providing for expansion of County sponsored youth and young
adult programming. SUMMARY: This Agreement implements the Head Start partnership agreement with the
Children’s Services Council approved in concept by the Board of County
Commissioners on September 24, 2013. The
Agreement obligates the County to make annual payments towards the Head Start
match totaling $11,425,000 over a four-year period ending on July 1, 2018. This new four-year payment amount is a
substantial decrease from the $28,400,000 that would be required if the County
obligation continued at the current FY 2014 contribution level. At the conclusion of the four-year period,
the County will have no further obligation related to Head Start program
funding. In exchange for this release, the County agrees to invest in
additional evidence-based/promising programming and services for youth and
young adults starting in FY 2016 at $1 million and increasing annually to a
level of $4.1 million in FY 2019. The Agreement also obligates the County to
work cooperatively with the Children’s Services Council to provide local
support for the Head Start Program and to establish and maintain an integrated
and effective early childhood education program in the County. The Children’s Service Council agrees to
serve as the lead public agency in providing local oversight and support to the
Head Start Program. Their obligations
include payment to the Head Start grantee a total of $26,775,000 ($11,425,000
in County funds and $15,350,000 in Council funds) over the term of the
Agreement to satisfy the federal funds matching requirement. Program criteria are described in the

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Concessionaire Service Agreement (CSA) with Little
Deeper Charters, Inc., a Florida corporation, for operation of a multi service
concession at Phil Foster Park for $25,000/year minimum guaranteed annual
revenue. SUMMARY: The Parks and
Recreation Department desires to make available to patrons of Phil Foster Park
water sports rentals, prepackaged food, beverage and sundry services. Several
parties indicated an interest in operating a concession to provide such
services and several previous Requests For Proposals
(RFP) for the operation of the concession were issued without receiving any
response. Subsequent discussions with
interested parties identified the small area allowed for operations and lack of
reserved parking as the primary issues.
In February 2014, PREM issued a new RFP with revised terms, including a
lower minimum rent, twelve reserved parking spaces and the opportunity for the
respondent to identify additional areas within the park for its use. Two
proposals were received. The response
from Lake Worth Lagoon Environmental Defense Fund, Inc, d/b/a Lagoon Keepers
(Lagoon) was initially deemed nonresponsive for failure to provide the required
signed CSA. The proposal from Little
Deeper Charters, Inc. (LDC) did not include the required information on
proposed pricing of services. Both
respondents were given the opportunity to cure the deficiencies in their
proposals and, upon review of both proposals, the Selection Committee
unanimously recommends awarding the concession to LDC. The guaranteed annual rent under the CSA with
LDC is $25,000/year ($2,083.34/month), and requires payment of percentage rent
of 10.5% of annual gross revenues in excess of $238,000, with annual four
percent (4%) increases. The initial term of the CSA is for three years, with
three options to extend, each for a period of two years. Parks will manage the

rights, but without rights of entry and exploration; and
B) approve a Deposit Receipt and Contract for Sale and Purchase
with Marta Warzel for the sale of a 0.13 acre parcel of vacant land for $3,000;
and
C) approve a County Deed in favor of Marta Warzel.
SUMMARY: The
County acquired a 0.13 acre parcel of vacant land on Eden Lawn Terrace in
unincorporated West Palm Beach by Tax Deed in June 2004. This property was deemed surplus because it
serves no present or future County purpose.
The assessed value of the parcel is $8,473. Pursuant to Florida Statutes Section
125.35(2), the Board may effect a private sale of the
parcel upon a finding that the value of a parcel is $15,000 or less, as
determined by the County property appraiser, and when due to its size, shape,
location and value it is of use to only one or more adjacent property
owners. The property is 40’x145’, and
cannot be developed as a standalone parcel and is only of use to the adjoining
owners. Notice of the County’s intent to
sell this parcel was sent to the three adjacent property owners providing them
an opportunity to bid on this parcel.
Only one response was received from Marta Warzel with a proposed
purchase price of $3,000. Staff
recommends the sale of this parcel as it will lessen the County’s potential
liability and maintenance responsibilities and return the parcel to the tax
roll. The County will retain mineral
rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, but will not retain
rights of entry and exploration. This
sale must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District
