A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A)
Amendment of
Solicitation/Modification of Contract (EECCN120020) No. 0003 [R2012-0659] with the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) allowing the Office of Equal
Opportunity to receive revenue in the total amount of $93,450 as payment for
processing and resolving employment discrimination complaints; and
B) an upward Budget Amendment of $11,450 in
the General Fund to adjust the budget to the actual Award/Contract.
Summary: Execution of this contract is required so
that the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) can receive payment for processing
and resolving complaints of employment discrimination pursuant to the
Worksharing Agreement with the EEOC.
Modification No. 0003 is for FY 2013 - 2014 and is in the amount of
$93,450 ($90,350-charge processing; $500-Intake Services, $1,600-attendance at
EEOC sponsored annual training); and $1,000-FEPA engagement funding. EEOC
Charge Resolution Contracts for all Fair Employment Practices Agencies
nationwide provide payment at a rate of $650 per charge. OEO’s contract is for a total of 139 charges. Attached to the Modification No. 0003 is the
FY 2014 Extension of Worksharing Agreement signed by the County Administrator
on September 26, 2013. On November 26,
1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved staff’s recommendation that
future Worksharing Agreements be executed by the County Administrator, or his
designee, because of the recurring time constraints involved in this process.
The Worksharing Agreement is a prerequisite to the receipt of a Charge
Resolution Contract. Countywide (DO)
2. Staff recommends

the County and recorded in the Public Records of Palm Beach County duly
executed and notarized originals of the payment and performance bonds required
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4.
The Surety for the Bond required the County sign the rider naming the
County as an additional obligee. The Bond, with the rider, was executed and
recorded in the Official Records of Palm Beach County, Book/Page
26806/1893-1899 on May 22, 2014. The emergency signature process was utilized
because there was insufficient time to submit the Bond rider for execution

A) adopt a Resolution approving Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement (SJPA) Number 3 with
the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) reducing funding to
reflect reduced design work needed to extend Runway 9R/27L (10R/28L)
Environmental & Design and Golfview Infrastructure Planning & Design
project at Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA); and
B) approve a Budget Amendment for ($3,200,000) in the
Airports Improvement and Development Fund reducing FDOT Grant Funding, and
reducing project cost by ($6,552,219).
Also included is an increase to Reserves of $3,352,219.
Summary: Based on the results of the Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and subsequent Record of Decision (ROD) approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Airfield Improvement Project (AIP) at
PBIA, many elements of the overall project were not approved due to the lack of
need based on the reduction in aircraft operations during the study period; as
such, the design efforts were minimized and a large portion of the design
funding is not needed and must be returned to the FDOT. On
October 16, 2007 (R2007-1791), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopted
a resolution approving a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) with the FDOT in
the amount of $4,142,000 or 50% of the eligible project costs, whichever is
less, for the Environmental Impact Statement and Design Runway Extension at
PBIA. On March 15, 2011 (R2011-0376), the BCC adopted a
resolution approving SJPA Number 1 amending the original project description to
extend Runway 9R/27L (10R/28L) Environmental & Design and Golfview
Infrastructure Planning & Design at PBIA, with no increase in funding. On
July 19, 2011 (R2011-1020), the BCC adopted a resolution approving SJPA Number

in part, because it would not be cost effective to attempt to satisfy the DRO
requirements for the operation of a recycling center in the building. In lieu of operating a recycling center, the License will allow ARS to place two containers at
PBIA for the passive collection of recyclable materials. The containers will be transported to an

the Norman Wimbley Gymnasium building addition project in the amount of
$19,510.06. Summary: On June 21, 2011, the City of Lake Worth (City)
entered into an Agreement (R2011-0901) with the County for the receipt of
$200,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The Agreement expired on September 30,
2013. The project was completed before
the expiration of the Agreement, but the final payment could not be made to the contractor, nor could the City be reimbursed in
accordance with the Agreement until the contractor completed his compliance
with the Federally mandated Davis-Bacon Act relating to the payment of wages to
workers on the project. Davis-Bacon Act requirements have been completed and
all violations have been corrected thereby enabling this reimbursement. The City has made the payment to the
contractor and is requesting reimbursement of $19,510.06 which is the remaining
balance available in the grant. Approval
of this Agenda Item will reimburse the City for expenses already incurred in
connection with the building addition at its Norman Wimbley Gymnasium located

B) an Agreement with Broward County, Miami-Dade
County, and SFRTA for the "Back Office" software integration that
will allow for the monitoring of transfers and processing of payments to the
appropriate parties using the EASY Card system for fares and transfers between
the four transit systems.
Summary: On June 18, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the
filing of a Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) Grant Application
(R2013-0786) in support of Palm Tran’s participation in the development of a
regional fare interoperability system. The Agreement with Broward County will
allow Palm Tran and BCT to engage in a two-phase project. The initial phase
will be a pilot program to equip and test a limited number of bus fare boxes to
accept EASY Cards currently being used by Miami-Dade County and SFRTA riders.
The second phase will allow both agencies to expand and cover the entire
transit fleet. Broward County will be the lead in administering the Request for
Proposals (RFP) and developing the contract to obtain the software, hardware
and related services needed to adapt the fare boxes, with the participation and
approval of Palm Tran. Palm Tran and BCT
will each be separately and solely responsible for their respective costs. Palm Tran's costs will be 100% funded with
FTA grant funds. The Agreement for the
“Back Office” integration provides for the transfer of revenue collected from
EASY Cards to the appropriate parties using the EASY Card system for fares and
transfers between the four transit systems. Miami-Dade County utilizes the EASY
Card system, a contactless smartcard system, which allows for electronic
payment of transit fares. Miami-Dade County has successfully operated the “Back
Office” with SFRTA since 2010 allowing for the transfer of payments among their
transit systems. Approval of this Agreement will expand the program to include
Palm Beach County and Broward County. On June 24, 2014, Broward County approved
the Transit Fare Interoperability Agreement and the “Back Office” Agreement,
which was previously approved by SFRTA on May 23, 2014. Miami-Dade’s staff is recommending approval

the issuance of the Bonds; and providing an effective date.
Summary: The Borrower
offers lower, middle and upper school education at their 81 acre campus located
at 3900 Jog Road in Boca Raton. The
Borrower has applied for the issuance of an Industrial Development Revenue Bond
by the County in an amount not to exceed $36,000,000. Bond proceeds will be used to refinance the
County's Variable Rate Demand Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Saint
Andrew's School of Boca Raton, Inc. Project) Series 2007, and potentially pay
the cost of termination of an interest rate swap related to the Series 2007
Bonds. The 2007 Bonds were issued to refinance earlier bonds issued by the
County and to finance capital assets for the Borrower's facilities. Prior to the issuance of any portion of the
Bonds that will be tax-exempt, the Internal Revenue Code requires that the
County hold a TEFRA public hearing. The
Economic Impact Analysis demonstrates a positive impact of $54.5 Million over
five years. The Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived from the
Borrower. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County,
nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay the principal, premium, if any,
or interest on the Bond. District 5 4(PFK)

E. Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 15, Article III, codifying Ordinance No 90-1, as amended by Ordinance No. 07-042, The Palm Beach County Ordinance for Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation; and adopting a new Palm Beach County Ordinance for Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation; providing for purpose; providing for definitions; providing for powers and duties of the Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity; providing for filing of complaints; providing for notice of complaint process; providing for determination of reasonable cause; providing for conciliation; providing for enforcement; providing for administrative remedies and other relief; providing for enforcement by private persons; providing for unlawful discriminatory practice in public accommodations and housing; providing for limitations and exceptions; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for savings clause; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: On July 1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners held a preliminary reading of this Ordinance and authorized advertising for public hearing. The current Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation Ordinance was last amended in 2007. Due to the procedural and substantive changes made to the ordinance with the purpose of bringing it into substantial compliance with the Federal Fair Housing Act and the County’s policy concerning Advisory Boards such as the Fair Housing Board, repealing and replacing the Equal Opportunity to Housing and Places of Public Accommodation Ordinance in its entirety is more efficient than amending it piecemeal. The League of Cities has no opposition to the proposed ordinance. The Fair Housing Board supports the proposed ordinance in its present form. Countywide (DRO)

F. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board
of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 18,
Article II of the Palm Beach County Code (Ordinance No. 2006-012, amended by
Ordinance No. 2011-033); relating to Sexual Offender and Sexual Predator
Residence Prohibition, to be known as “the Sexual Offender and Sexual Predator
Residence Prohibition Ordinance of Palm Beach County, Florida”; amending
Section 18-34 (Sexual Offender and Sexual Predator Residence Prohibition;
Exceptions); providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for a 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: On July 1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners
held a preliminary reading of this Ordinance and authorized advertising for
public hearing. The State of Florida sexual offender and sexual predator
residence prohibition laws preclude sexual offenders and sexual predators from
establishing a permanent or temporary residence within one thousand (1000) feet
from specified locations where children regularly congregate. The current
County Ordinance provides for a more restrictive distance, prohibiting sexual
offenders and sexual predators from establishing a permanent or temporary
residence within twenty-five hundred (2500) feet from certain defined areas
where children regularly congregate. The
proposed amendment reduces the number of feet to 1000 and eliminates a
designated public school bus stop from the list of specified locations, making
the Ordinance consistent with Florida law. Additionally, the proposed amendment
is responsive to current federal and state law evolving in other jurisdictions
that suggests a County’s imposition of residency prohibitions on sexual
offenders and sexual predators may not be more restrictive than the residency
prohibitions mandated by the State. It is anticipated that the League of
Cities will have no opposition to the proposed Ordinance amendment,
as this Ordinance is applicable only in the unincorporated areas of the County.

G. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 20, Nuisances,
Article III, Abatement of
Nuisances, codifying Ordinance No. 90-12, amended by Ordinance Nos. 93-16,
95-64, 97-9 and 2002-023, known as the “Nuisance Abatement Ordinance” created
pursuant to Section 893.138 Florida Statutes, establishing the Nuisance
Abatement Board of Palm Beach County; providing for inclusion in the Code of
Laws and Ordinances; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: On July
1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners held a preliminary reading of this
Ordinance and authorized advertising for public hearing. The Nuisance Abatement Ordinance was
enacted in 1990 to establish the “Nuisance Abatement Board of Palm Beach
County” (NAB) to abate drug-related nuisances occurring on premises throughout
the County. The Ordinance was amended in 1997 to apply only in the
unincorporated areas of the County. Since its creation, the NAB has convened
less than five times to hear complaints and evidence regarding “drug-related
nuisances.” The Sheriff does not object to the dissolution
of the NAB. Repealing the
Nuisance Abatement Ordinance will not prohibit the County or any citizen from
proceeding against a public nuisance by any other means, including, but not
limited to, seeking injunctive relief under Section 60.05 of the Florida Statutes.
The League of Cities has no opposition

SUMMARY: Adoption of this Resolution will allow the County to assess each property owner on a per lot basis for the Project, plus the connection and tie-in fees, if applicable. The Town of Jupiter (Town) will provide the water service and has agreed to advance the funds for design and permits for the Project and will also fund the construction. The assessments will be passed on to the Town once collected.

I. Staff recommends
motion to:
1) approve Road Program Findings of Fact (per Article
12.M.B.3 of the Unified Land Development Code) with a majority affirmative vote
that the deletion of four construction projects will not result in any link or
intersection on the road network operating at greater than the Adopted level of
service, and no development projects are phased to this construction. The four
projects that have met this criteria are the deletion of construction of
Community Drive and Military Trail; Ellison Wilson Road, south of Juno Isles
Boulevard to north of Ascot Road; Jog Road, Glades Road to Yamato Road; and
Indiantown Road, Jupiter Farms Road to west of Florida’s Turnpike; and
2) adopt an Ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 85-40,
as amended, establishing an amended Five Year Road Program (Program); providing
for title; purpose; adoption of revised program and revised list of projects
contained in Exhibit “A” (to the Agenda Item); implementation of the program;
modification of the program; funding of other roadway improvements;
interpretation of exhibit; repeal of laws in conflict; severability; inclusion
in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; and effective date.
SUMMARY: In accordance with Article 12.M.B.3 of the
Unified Land Development Code, and prior to the deletion of any construction
project from Palm Beach County’s (County) Program, the Board of County
Commissioner’s (Board) must determine that the Findings of Fact have been
made. See Attachment “1” to the Agenda

adoption of the County’s Program on December 17, 2013, the progress and
evolution of current and near term projects has continued to be monitored.
Traffic counts, costs and revenues have been updated. Revisions are being
proposed to modify the Program to reflect this updated information. A mid-year
ordinance amendment with a preliminary reading and a Public Hearing is required
in order to accomplish this. On July 1, 2014, the Board approved this amendment
on preliminary reading and authorized advertisement for today’s Public Hearing
for final adoption. Countywide (MRE)

Board direction on: preparation of an
ordinance authorizing hospitals in the County to place a lien on the proceeds
of settlements or judgments in order to receive payment for services rendered
to a patient. Summary: On November 5, 2013, the Board of County
Commissioners directed staff to research a possible lien law (ordinance) that
would assist local hospitals in the collection of bill payments through
placement of liens on the proceeds of legal settlements or judgments in
personal injury matters. Staff has
conducted research and gathered ordinances from other jurisdictions that have
addressed this issue. Additionally, meetings have been held with hospital
administrators, trial attorneys, and Health Care District of Palm Beach County
representatives, and some correspondence has been received and reviewed. Based
on the information gathered to date and legal research by the County Attorney’s
Office, staff has concluded that it is possible for the County to adopt a
hospital lien ordinance. A current
Hillsborough County ordinance has been identified as a possible model. It is expected; however, based on the preliminary
meetings and correspondence mentioned above, that there will be varying levels
of support and some opposition from affected parties to a countywide ordinance
on this subject. Issues to be addressed
include the rate at which hospitals will get paid for medical care, measures to
protect the injured individuals, and compensation for attorney’s fees. If staff
is directed to proceed with the preparation of an ordinance, additional
outreach will be conducted to ensure that concerns of all interested parties
are considered. The countywide ordinance
must be presented to the League of Cities for review and comment prior to first
reading. A preliminary draft ordinance based on the Hillsborough County model
has been prepared by the County Attorney’s Office and is attached to this
item. The proposed draft also extends
authority to the Health Care District and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue to
place liens. Countywide (TKF)
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a
Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
recommending approval of Project Opaleye, a company authorized to do business
in the State of Florida, as a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) business pursuant
to s.288.106, Florida Statutes; providing for local financial support for the
Qualified Target Industry Tax Program not to exceed $36,000; and
B) conceptually approve
an Economic Development Incentive for Project Opaleye in the amount of $36,000
in the form of a Job Growth Incentive Grant (JGI) as a portion of the local
match for a State QTI Grant.
SUMMARY: Project
Opaleye is a corporate headquarters relocation project that currently employs
approximately 115 people throughout the United States. The company plans
to make a $9 Million capital investment to purchase and renovate an existing
building in Palm Beach Gardens. The company will relocate or hire 60
employees over a three year period at an average annual wage of $75,000,
excluding benefits, and will retain 40 existing jobs. The company will be
required to maintain the new and retained jobs for a period of five years. It
is anticipated that the State of Florida will provide $360,000 in the form of a
Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund which includes a required 20% local match
of $72,000 which will be split equally between the County ($36,000) and the
City of Palm Beach Gardens ($36,000). The JGI Grant will be secured by a
Letter of Credit, Bond, Corporate Guarantee or equivalent. The company
will be required to enter into a formal agreement memorializing their
commitments and establishing criteria for funding distribution. At such
time the company name will be disclosed. The five year local economic
impact is estimated to be $110.9 Million. Funding for the Job Growth
Incentive Grant will come from General Fund Contingency Reserves. District

board direction: regarding
establishing employment diversity policy or criteria for entities doing
business with the County. SUMMARY: Mayor Taylor initiated this item at the May 20, Board meeting. Resolution R92-13, as amended by R2012-0197
and R2014-0113, states the Board’s policy that the County “shall not conduct
business with nor appropriate funds for any organization that practices discrimination
on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, sex, age,
familial status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and
expression, genetic information or disability”. County contracts currently
include this requirement. Observing nondiscriminatory policies does not
necessarily achieve diversity in hiring. The County’s employment policy is in
accordance with applicable law and establishes principles to encourage equal
employment opportunity and diversity. On
May 29, the Board received a legal opinion from the County Attorney that
mandatory employment diversity goals for competitive contracts might not be
legally sustainable. Among options are:
1) maintaining current policy language; or 2) requiring contractors to prepare
if necessary, and submit, evidence of their non-discrimination policies when
submitting bids or RFP responses. For non-competitive contracts such as
Business Development Board and tourism agencies, the Board of County
Commissioners may consider an organization’s consistency with County policies
in determining whether to award contracts and could require proof of the
existence of such non-discrimination policies prior to entering into contracts.

Non-competitive service categories under the Financially Assisted Agencies
(FAA) Program for the period of October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2015, in
a total amount not to exceed $11,290,068; and
B) allocations for funding for Youth Violence/Diversion
Programs and the Summer Camp Scholarship Program for the period of October 1,
2014, through September 30, 2015, in a total amount not to exceed $968,118.
Summary: This item
provides the recommended FY 2015 funding allocations for the Financially
Assisted Agencies Program and the Youth Violence/Diversion programs being
transferred to the newly created Youth Services Department. The FAA
recommendations in the Behavioral Services and Special Needs/Developmental
Disability categories reflect the results of a request for proposals process
initiated in April of this year.
Allocations in the other FAA categories are based on prior year’s
funding as this is a renewal year in the three-year cycle for those
categories. The Youth Violence/Diversion
programs are also renewals that are being transferred to the new Youth Services
Department. The total amount of funding
being allocated in this item is $12,258,186 which is unchanged from the current

Pool (Note No. B-08-UC-12-0004) in the amount of $1,820,000 to a new program to
be known as the Palm Beach County Business Loan Program; and
B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to sign
the Application to HUD to reallocate these funds to the Palm Beach County
Business Loan Program.
Summary: The proposed Application will reallocate the
balance of funds from Section 108 Loan Pool (Note No. B-08-UC-12-0004) to a new
program eligible under HUD guidelines.
To date, there have been loans to 16 borrowers totaling $11,520,000 from
this loan pool. In total, the various
loan pools have funded over $23 Million to 30 different borrowers generating a
total public and private investment of $83.9 Million and commitments to create
985 jobs. The new program will allow the
Department of Economic Sustainability to receive final approval on projects
from HUD’s Miami Field office without submission to the HUD Washington D.C.
office. This will result in reduced processing time for loans allowing
borrowers to access capital to rapidly satisfy critical needs facing their
business. The new program will follow existing Section 108 Loan Program
Guidelines for underwriting. Countywide (DW)

recommends motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution authorizing a continuing
reduction in the rental rate and finding that the Fifth Amendment (R2002-0829)
to Governmental Center Lease Agreement with LJL Food Management, Inc., d/b/a
Tina’s Café is in the best interest of the County; and
B) approve a Fifth Amendment to Governmental Center
Lease Agreement with Tina’s Café.
SUMMARY: LJL
Food Management, Inc., d/b/a Tina’s Café has been the food service provider
operating in Suite 110 of the Governmental Center Parking Garage since 2005. In
response to the economic downturn and Tina’s Café’s poor payment history, rent
was reduced by 20% in 2009 and by another 50% in 2010 for a period of two
years. The Third Amendment, approved by the Board on December 18, 2012
(R2012-1941), documented the reduced rental rate of $16,601/yr until April 30,
2013, at which time the Board requested a further review of the rent. On June 4, 2013, the Board approved a Fourth
Amendment (R2013-0711) which continued the reduced half-rent rate to April 30,
2014. Tina’s Café continues to be
delinquent with payment of rent and as of June, 2014, five months’ rent
(February to June) is owed. Staff met
with Tina’s to discuss the rent delinquencies and suggested a further
reduction. Tina’s believes they will be
able to bring the rent current and proposes to keep the rent at the current
reduced rate and pay the back rent in one additional installment per month. This Fifth Amendment provides for the
continuance of the same $16,601/yr reduced half-rent rate retroactively from
May 1, 2014, until the Lease expiration on January 31, 2019 without annual

manufactured home and a 64 SF shed at 7133 43rd Trail North, Lot
1269, Riviera Beach, within the Palm Lake Cooperative, Inc., an adult
retirement community located in unincorporated Palm Beach County for $9,121;
and
B) a County Deed in
favor of Patricia Robinette and Nancy C. Baker without mineral and petroleum rights reservation.
SUMMARY: In
October 2012, the County acquired by Tax Deed a +0.13 acre parcel of
land together with an 840 SF manufactured home and a 64 SF shed (Property) at
7133 43rd Trail North, Lot 1269, Riviera Beach, within the Palm Lake
Cooperative, Inc. (Palm Lake), an active adult (55+) retirement community
located in unincorporated Palm Beach County. This Property has been deemed
surplus as it serves no County purpose.
The Property Appraiser’s Office assessed the Property at $35,772 for
2013. Staff obtained an appraisal in
June 2013 that valued the Property at $32,000. The Property was advertised for
sale and an Invitation For Bid was issued in April 2014. Staff received 33 inquiries regarding the
property but only two people attended the pre-bid meeting. One responsive bid
was received from Patricia Robinette and Nancy C. Baker in the amount of
$9,121. There are currently 22 homes for sale within Palm Lake and Staff
believes the all cash bid requirement and lengthy paperwork associated with the
bid process was a factor in limiting response to the bid. Staff recommends
acceptance of the bid as it will lessen the County’s potential liability and
maintenance responsibilities and return the Property to the tax roll. Patricia Robinette and Nancy C. Baker will
pay all closing costs and any other costs associated with this sale. As the Property is located within a
residential community, the County will not retain mineral and petroleum rights.
This sale must be approved by a

Easement Agreement with Transit Village, LLC, a Florida limited liability

SUMMARY: The County
entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale with TV for the sale of 5.8
acres at the corner of Banyan Boulevard and Clearwater Drive, commonly referred
to as the Wedge for $3,600,000. Appraisals
valued the property at between $350,000 and negative $5,000,000. The Purchase
and Sale Agreement requires TV to provide the County 25 parking spaces within
TV’s proposed parking garage for use by Palm Tran employees. This Parking
Easement Agreement establishes the County’s rights to review the design of the
garage and approve the location of the County’s parking spaces and circulation
and access within the garage as required by the Purchase and Sale Agreement. At closing, TV will grant the County a perpetual
easement for use of the 25 County parking spaces without charge. For the
record, TV’s parking agreement with the South Florida Regional Transit
Authority (SFRTA) has the SFRTA agreeing to pay $3,000,000 for the structured
parking spaces as well as annual operating charges. The appraisal assumed the SFRTA spaces would
be provided without charge to SFRTA, but charging for these spaces is not
prohibited by the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
The appraisal has been updated to reflect these payments by the SFRTA
and is still a negative value. An update
on the status of various governmental approvals, particularly the FTA/NEPA
milestone, is also provided. The FTA
approval letter contained a condition requiring updated appraisals within six
months of closing. This is a very complicated transaction with multiple layers
of required governmental approvals. TV has been actively pursuing the required
approvals. The next milestone, submission of a site plan into the City’s
approval process, and the City’s reaction thereto, will provide the clearest
picture as to the viability of the project. TV has represented that it will be
submitting its application in the next few months. (PREM) District 7 (HJF)

Modification of Deed Restrictions on 10 acres of land donated by the County to
the Elizabeth Faulk Foundation. SUMMARY:
In 1979, the County conveyed approximately 10 acres of land located on
the West side of Boca Rio Road just north of Southwest 8th Street to
the Elizabeth Faulk Foundation. The County Deed restricted use of the property
to habilitative purposes of the mentally ill; required that the Foundation
remain a non-profit corporation; prohibited conveyance or encumbrance of the
property without the County’s consent; and provided that in the event these
restrictions were violated, the property would revert to the County. The
Elizabeth Faulk Foundation, Inc. was organized in 1971 as a Florida
not-for-profit corporation with the charitable purpose of “providing free
psychological and consultation services to the needy.” The Foundation
constructed a 13,000 SF building on roughly four acres of the property in which
it operates its Faulk Center for Counseling. In 2013, the trustees of the
Foundation determined that the Foundation needed to expand its scope of
services to offering assisted living and memory care services to the elderly.
To that end, the Foundation created Faulk Senior Services, LLC (FSS), a wholly
owned and controlled entity, in order to effect the development and operation
of the Faulk Senior Residence, which is programmed to include a 96 unit/117 bed
Assisted Care Living Facility (ACLF) providing Alzheimer’s and memory care
services. The Foundation has entered into a Development Agreement with Mainsail
Healthcare Development, LLC to develop the ACLF on the vacant property. The
project will be financed through issuance of tax exempt revenue bonds. Once
constructed, the ACLF will be managed and operated by MJM Associates, a related
entity of Mainsail. Operation of the ACLF will be governed and controlled by
FSS as the owner of the property and ACLF, and the profit from operations will
accrue to the benefit of FSS/Foundation. The Modification of Deed Restrictions
releases the County’s reverter; restricts use of the property to: i) mental
health counseling and rehabilitation of the mentally ill; and ii) the development,
use and operation of a senior living facility with assisted living units
accommodating approximately 117 assisted living beds providing memory care
services; allows for conveyance of the property to FSS; allows FSS to mortgage
the property to secure the bonds; and in the event of foreclosure, expands the
allowable use to include a congregate living facility as defined by the ULDC. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners,
Palm Beach County, Florida repealing and replacing Resolution No. R2003-2066; amending
the funding sources, and expanding the uses of Victims of Crime Emergency Support
Fund. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County
Victims of Crime Emergency Support Fund (the “Victim Fund”), has historically
been financed from numerous sources, including, private donations and lawfully
mandated fines and penalties. In 2003, ad valorem tax support was added as an
additional revenue source; however, due to the economic downturn, the ad
valorem support ended in 2008. In 2013,
a new diversion program operated by the Office of the State Attorney for
Driving Under the Influence offenders reinstated a revenue stream to the Victim
Fund. While the primary purpose of the
fund is for emergency financial assistance to victims of crime, surviving
family members and their families, reinstatement of prior use of the fund to
include staff training and development and awareness/recognition events is
being requested. Countywide (PGE)

F. WATER UTILITIES
1. Staff
recommends motion to approve on preliminary
reading and advertise for public hearing on August 19, 2014 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code
Chapter 27, Article X, Water Utilities Tampering; amending Section 27-206,
Penalties for Service Account Holders; 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: On May 18, 2010, the
Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the Tampering Ordinance
(2010-014) allowing the Water Utilities Department (Department) to assess fines
for tampering with or making unauthorized connections to the Department’s
utility system. The Tampering Ordinance (2010-014) as it
exists requires for the first offense and all subsequent offenses be subject to
$400 fines and any administrative, testing, inspection, and court costs. However, the Department's experience since
the enactment of the Tampering Ordinance (2010-014) has been that many of the
first offenses have not been either deliberate or egregious. The
proposed amendment will reduce
the fine for a first offense for service account holders for tampering and unauthorized connections, and also
allow the Department to impose costs for damages to the utility system or
assets on the service account holder. These penalties are more conducive to the
level of tampering and unauthorized connections for service account holders. The
following fines shall be imposed on a service account holder: $50 for a first
occurrence and $400 for any subsequent occurrences. The failure to pay any fees
in accordance with this section may be subject to all delinquent account
procedures of the utility, including the filing of a lien against any property
for which a service account exists. Countywide (MJ)

G. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida; approving, for the purposes of section 147(f) of
the Internal Revenue Code and Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, the issuance by
the Capital Trust Agency of its Senior Housing Revenue Bonds (Faulk Senior
Residence Project), Series 2014, in one or more series pursuant to a plan of finance, in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000, for the purpose of
financing of the costs of the Project; affirming the purpose and function of
Elizabeth H. Faulk Foundation, Inc.; approving its use of the site on which the
Senior Living Facility is to be located; approving a Modification of Deed
Restrictions; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: On February 20,
2014, The Capital Trust Agency (the "Issuer") adopted a preliminary
resolution expressing its intent to approve the issuance of the Bonds in one or
more series in an amount not exceeding $30,000,000 (the "Bonds") and
loan the proceeds of the Bonds to Elizabeth H. Faulk Foundation, Inc., a Florida
not for profit corporation, or one or more affiliates (the
"Borrower") to finance the acquisition, construction, development,
installation and equipping of an approximately 96-unit 116-bed senior living
facility comprised of approximately 44 assisted living units and 52 memory care
units for the elderly intended to be known as "Faulk Senior
Residence," to be located on approximately five acres comprising the
western ½ of the ten acre campus known as Faulk Center located at 22455 Boca
Rio Road, Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida, and expected to be owned by
the Borrower and managed initially by MJM Associates, LLC, a New York limited
liability company (the "Project"). In order to finance the costs of
the Project from the proceeds of the Bonds on a tax-exempt basis, it is
necessary to obtain the approval of the Board of County Commissioners (“the
Board”) after a Public Hearing is held pursuant to Section 147(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In addition, in order for the Issuer to finance
the costs of the Project with the proceeds of Bonds within the County, it is
necessary for the Issuer to obtain the County's approval to do so in accordance
with Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Interlocal
Act"). On June 19, 2014, the
Issuer's Executive Director, as hearing officer, conducted a Public Hearing as
required by the Code, after publication of a notice in the Sun-Sentinel. The Resolution also approves the form of a
Modification of Deed Restrictions which allows the property to be used for a
Memory Care and Alzheimer's Senior Living Facility and permits the Property to
be mortgaged to secure the proposed Bonds. Neither the taxing power nor the
faith and credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay
the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. District 5

motion to approve: Addendum to the State of Florida
Amended and Restated Suncom Telephony Equipment Premises Services Contract No
730-000-09-1 with Unify, Inc. (formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications) to
install a new unified communications (UC) system for Palm Beach County
over the next 36 months for a total cost of $4,545,249. SUMMARY: The
County’s current telecommunications systems utilize outdated technology and are
expensive to maintain. The Information Systems Services Department has
performed a comprehensive evaluation of unified communication solutions offered
by the leading manufacturers in the United States. Unify, Inc. was
selected based upon a detailed technical evaluation, including lab testing, of
UC systems offered by four competing manufacturers. The Bill of Materials
lists the specific UC system software, hardware and services to be purchased
via the State of Florida contract. The project budget is financed through
a 7-year low interest bank note in the amount of $10 million to fund these
component costs as well as necessary network upgrades and temporary staffing
costs. Countywide (PFK)

C) Administrative adjustments to establish funding in the FY 2015 budget
for capital projects approved and established in the current fiscal year. These
projects were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2014) after the
preparation of the proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in

valorem taxes and will be incorporated into the tentative budget to be
presented at the first public hearing; and
D) Administrative adjustments to establish
funding in the FY 2015 budget for designated fund balances for contingency and
other projects and carryover for encumbrances. These balances and encumbrances
were approved in the current fiscal year (FY 2014) after the preparation of the
proposed budget and are therefore not currently included in the FY 2015 budget.
These adjustments will have no impact on proposed ad valorem taxes and will be
incorporated into the tentative budget to be presented at the first public
hearing.
SUIMMARY: The proposed millage rates for Countywide,
