45 4A-4 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to
approve: FY 2015 Wage Increase for employees covered by the
Labor-Management Agreement with the Communication Workers of America (CWA),
Local 3181, effective the first pay period of the new fiscal year. SUMMARY:
Pursuant to collective bargaining negotiations, the negotiating committees for
Palm Beach CWA, Local 3181, have reached a tentative agreement on a wage
increase for FY 2015. The proposed wage increase will adjust the base
rate of pay for covered employees by 3% or $.60 an hour, whichever is

48 4C-2 REVISED SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to approve: an Agreement for Donation of Real Property
with Rowan Construction-PSL, Inc. (Rowan), and G.L.
Homes of Florida II Corporation (GL) providing for the donation to the County
of approximately 20 acres of land in the northwest portion of the Ag Reserve. SUMMARY:
This 20 acre parcel of land is located west of 441 and north of
Boynton Beach Boulevard. The property
has an assessed value of $158,165. It is
surrounded on three sides by the 100 acre County-owned Butts property which was
acquired through a donation agreement similar to this Agreement. Environmental Resources Management (ERM)
plans to use the combined 120 acres for water resource and wetlands restoration
and an expanded buffer to the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Pursuant to this Donation Agreement, GL will
pay Rowan $1,608,800 for the 20 development rights attributable to this property,
Rowan will convey the property to the County without charge and GL will have
the right to include the property as a Preservation Area within future 60/40 Ag
Reserve PUD’s which GL intends to develop east of U.S. 441/State Road 7. Closing will occur within 30 days of approval
of this Agreement. There is a long history of code and permit enforcement
actions against this property stemming from failure of Rowan to complete the
reclamation plan required by County development orders and SFWMD permits for mining
operations. Rowan will pay approximately $37,900 to satisfy an existing code
enforcement lien and will contribute $50,000 towards the cost of long term
maintenance. The County will assume responsibility for non-compliance
with said approvals and permits. ERM is
confident that there is minimal risk to the County in assuming this
responsibility as the Butts property had similar issues, enforcement has never
been pursued, and ERM will ultimately address some elements of the reclamation
plan as part of ERM’s restoration efforts. (PREM) District 6 (HJF) (FDO)
52 4F-1 REVISED TITLE: Staff recommends motion to approve:

Transportation, Inc. in the amount of $72,670,431.20, which approval is

is not met.;

Petitioner Anshei Emuna Congregation, 16191 South Jog Road, Delray Beach, FL,
Property ID No. 00-42-46-27-00-000-3900.
SUMMARY: In 2011, Anshei Emuna Congregation (“the
Temple”) and T-Mobile, Inc. filed a petition for alternative dispute
resolution, pursuant to Fla. Stat. Sec. 70.51, to resolve pending code
enforcement violations arising from the petitioners’ failure to install an
approved Alternative Landscaping Plan before installing a cell-phone tower on
the Temple property. The petitioners took the position that the Alternative
Landscaping Plan related to development that was contemplated, but never
developed, on the southern portion of the Temple’s original site and should not
be required for development on the Temple’s existing site. The parties executed a settlement agreement
in the dispute resolution proceeding which required, in part, that the Temple
and T-Mobile remove invasive species from an existing thirty-foot ficus hedge
on the Temple property and install additional vegetative material in the hedge,
so that the hedge could serve as an opaque barrier between the Temple and the
neighboring homes. In spite of the Temple and T-Mobile’s best efforts, the
additional plantings have not restored the hedge to opacity, after the removal
of the invasive species. The First Amendment to the Settlement Agreement allows
the petitioners to plant no less than twenty-five areca palms on the Temple’s
property, in order to make the hedge an opaque barrier. The First Amendment also requires the Temple
and T-Mobile to expand the existing irrigation system to further ensure the
viability of the hedge. Staff recommends approval of the proposed First
Amendment to the Settlement Agreement, as consistent with the intent of the
parties in executing the original settlement agreement. District 5 (ATP)

under the Agreement and will record a Termination of Use and Management
Agreement to document that the County will be under no further obligation to
provide Sannlor additional use of the Park property. All of the Easements described herein are

motion to accept: a Quitclaim and Release of
Interests from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for an approximately
.25 acre portion of County-owned real property commonly known as the Wedge and
located within the City of West Palm Beach’s Transit Oriented Development
District. SUMMARY: In 2007, FDOT conveyed the southernmost .25
acre portion of the 5.8 acre Wedge property to the County to facilitate the
development of the County’s Intermodal Transit Center (ITC) at the southeast
corner of Banyan Boulevard and Clearwater Drive in the City of West Palm
Beach. FDOT retained: 1) a reversionary
interest in the property in the event that it was not used for public purposes,
and 2) mineral rights. The County
entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale (R2012-1158) with Transit
Village, LLC (TV) for the sale of excess portions of the Wedge property,
including the .25 acre acquired from FDOT.
A release of FDOT’s reversionary interest is required to facilitate
development of TV’s project. This
Quitclaim and Release of Interests releases the aforementioned FDOT
reversionary interest, requires that use of the property continue to be for a
public purpose, including open space comprising a publically accessible
amenity, and also releases FDOT’s mineral rights reservations. The property is
currently improved with a pedestrian sidewalk and landscaping improvements as
part of the ITC which are consistent with the modified restrictions. In the event that the property is not
utilized in a manner that is consistent with the use restriction, the then
current owner (presumably TV) would be required to pay FDOT the fair market
value of the property. The Quitclaim and Release of Interests is being provided
at no cost to the County. (PREM) District 7 (HJF)

includes two initial milestones which require a formal review and comment by
potential vendors and municipalities prior to proceeding to the next task. Those two milestones are: 1) the
recommendation for a phased or full migration from the existing countywide
trunked radio system to a full digital system that is compliant with the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials
(APCO) Project 25 (P25) standards, and 2) the draft of the Request for

single family detached homes and eight townhomes, all three-bedroom/two-bath
units. The project is the second and final phase of the Davis Landings
project, the first phase of which the County funded with $5,723,006 in
Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds (R2010-1944) and which resulted in the
successful construction of a 25-unit multifamily rental complex. This
proposal received scoring preference in the RFP process because it will
complete an existing County project. Due to strict Federal deadlines
staff is requesting the authorization of the County Administrator, or his
designee, to execute loan agreements. These are Federal HOME Program
grant funds which require a 25% local match provided with State SHIP funds.

On
August 3, 2014, the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) issued a
Request for Proposal DES.2014.1 (RFP) making $2,473,996 in Federal HOME Program
funds available for housing development projects. A selection committee
consisting of six voting members met at a public meeting held on September 17,
2014. The committee ranked the proposals based on the criteria
established in the RFP. The selection committee recommended that New
South Bay Villas, Ltd., be awarded funding in the amount of $1,033,996 for the
redevelopment of New South Bay Villas, a 131-unit multifamily rental project to
be located on the site of the Palm Beach County Housing Authority’s Marshall
Heights and South Bay Villas properties at 1001 Jasmine Court and 110 Harrelle
Drive in South Bay. The project includes the rehabilitation of 65
apartment units in eight buildings, and the replacement of 62 demolished units
with 66 newly-constructed units in ten buildings. The project will result in 40
four-bedroom, 34 three-bedroom, 56 two-bedroom, and one one-bedroom apartments.
The proposal received scoring preference in the RFP process because of its
location in the Glades Region, as per Board direction given during the Action
Plan approval process. The project will be developed by the Palm Beach
County Housing Authority and the McCurdy Senior Housing Corporation. Due
to strict Federal deadlines staff is requesting the authorization of the County

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the purchase of airport liability insurance, for
the period October 10, 2014, through October 10, 2015; to be purchased through
the County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. for a total not
to exceed cost of $112,000. Summary: The not-to-exceed estimated total cost of $112,000
for airport liability insurance represents a small increase of approximately 1.5%
over the expiring premium of $110,123.
This increase is indicative of a slight upward trend for aviation
liability coverage throughout the industry.
Overall, the aviation insurance market remains stable and the County’s
proactive approach to controlling losses continues to keep premiums very
reasonable for an agency of this size. Countywide (TKF)

3. Staff recommends
Board reconsideration of direction regarding: implementing a mandatory
program to promote the education and employment of building trade apprentices
on County building construction projects due to legal issues that have been
identified. The Board has discussed
other options, each with issues, including: providing a bid preference , or
implementing a post bid voluntary policy, or taking no further action at this
time. SUMMARY: In March, the Board directed staff to
implement a mandatory program to promote the education and employment of
building trade apprentices in State authorized programs on County building
construction contracts. Contractor associations, while favoring and
participating in voluntary apprentice programs, oppose any local government
bidding requirements for such programs. They have circulated a very recent
Federal Court decision from Massachusetts which found a local mandatory program
to be contrary to Federal labor law.
There are a number of legal and practical issues which complicate
achieving the goals that the Board might have for any such program. There would
be County costs associated with any alternative. A bid preference would need criteria
development and complicate bid award evaluation with local and SBE preferences
possibly in conflict. A post contract
award financial incentive to a contractor who uses apprentices would also
require criteria development and might not satisfy the original trade union
goal in seeking this program. It is not
possible to limit apprentice participation to Palm Beach County residents. Countywide

A) adopt a
Resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in a .09 acre
and a .10 acre vacant property to the Village of Palm Springs without charge,
with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, and without rights of entry
and exploration;
B) adopt
a Resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in a 1.57
acre property known as Lakewood Park to the Village of Palm Springs without
charge, restricted to use only for park and recreation purposes without charge
for entry or admission, with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, and
without rights of entry and exploration; and
C) adopt a Resolution designating
three parcels of County-owned property as right-of-way, as needed for Kirk Road
in Section 24, Township 44, Range 42; and
D) approve
three County Deeds in favor
of the Village of Palm Springs.
SUMMARY: The
Village of Palm Springs (Village) requested the annexation of three County-owned
properties located south of Lakewood Road on the west side of Kirk Road. The
properties are located at 3887 Kirk Road, 3909 Kirk Road and 4000 Lakewood
Road. Each of the properties was
acquired by Warranty Deed in 1993 to attain the ultimate right-of-way of Kirk
Road. The Village is actively expanding
its municipal boundaries and committed to assume ownership, maintenance
responsibility and liability for each property in exchange for the County
voluntarily annexing each property into the Village. The Board of County Commissioners consented
to the annexation (R2014-0568) on April 28, 2014, and the Village Council
approved the annexation on June 12, 2014.
The two vacant properties serve no present or future County purpose,
except for that portion that is encumbered by and within ten feet of Kirk Road,
and have an assessed value of $16,250 each.
The Lakewood Park property has an assessed value of $220,100. In 2003, the Parks and Recreation Department
spent approximately $175,000 installing a basketball court, sand volleyball
court, playground, picnic shelter, picnic area with grills, and other amenities
upon that property for use as a neighborhood park serving the
Narcissus/Gardenia Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT) area. Staff did not obtain appraisals since this is
an intergovernmental conveyance at no cost and since the property values are
offset by maintenance costs and liability to be assumed by the Village. The Lakewood Park property will be limited to
public park and recreation purposes and open to all regardless of residency or
ownership will revert to the County.
Land area required to preserve the ultimate right-of-way of Kirk Road
has been excluded from each deed and is being formerly designated as
right-of-way. The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights to all three
properties in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 270.11, without rights
of entry and exploration. These
conveyances must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners).

recommends motion to approve: an
Agreement for Donation of Real Property with Rowan Construction-PSL, Inc.
(Rowan), and G.L. Homes of Florida II Corporation (GL) providing for the
donation to the County of approximately 20 acres of land in the northwest portion
of the Ag Reserve. SUMMARY: This 20 acre parcel
of land is located west of 441 and north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. The property has an assessed value of
$158,165. It is surrounded on three
sides by the 100 acre County-owned Butts property which was acquired through a
donation agreement similar to this Agreement.
Environmental Resources Management (ERM) plans to use the combined 120
acres for water resource and wetlands restoration and an expanded buffer to the
Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge.
Pursuant to this Donation Agreement, GL will pay Rowan $1,608,800 for
the 20 development rights attributable to this property, Rowan will convey the
property to the County without charge and GL will have the right to include the
property as a Preservation Area within future 60/40 Ag Reserve PUD’s which GL
intends to develop east of U.S. 441/State Road 7. Closing will occur within 30 days of approval
of this Agreement. There is a long history of code and permit enforcement
actions against this property stemming from failure of Rowan to complete the
reclamation plan required by County development orders and SFWMD permits for
mining operations. Rowan will pay
approximately $37,900 to satisfy an existing code enforcement lien and will
contribute $50,000 towards the cost of long term maintenance. The
County will assume responsibility for non-compliance with said approvals and
permits. ERM is confident that there is
minimal risk to the County in assuming this responsibility as the Butts
property had similar issues, enforcement has never been pursued, and ERM will
ultimately address some elements of the reclamation plan as part of ERM’s restoration
efforts. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

A) an early
termination of the Interlocal
Agreement (R2008-1178) with the Village of North Palm Beach (Village)
terminating the Village’s direct access to the County’s 800 MHz Radio System
and waiver of the six month notice requirement of early termination;
B) an early termination of the Interlocal
Agreement (R2009-1969) with the Village terminating the provision of radio
maintenance services and waiver of the three month notice requirement of early
termination; and
C) an Interlocal Agreement with the Village
allowing for interoperable communications through the countywide common talk
groups of the County’s 800 MHz Radio System.
SUMMARY: On
July 7, 2008, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement (R2008-1178) (Direct
Access Agreement) with the Village which provided the Village with direct
access to the County’s 800 MHz Radio System for a period of five years and
which was extended to July 7, 2016 through a First Amendment (R2012-0887). In
August 2014, the Village voted to transition its dispatch services from the
Village to the North County Dispatch Center administered by Palm Beach Gardens,
and to join the Municipal Public Safety Communication Consortium (MPSCC).
Consequently, the Village requested an early termination of the Direct Access
Agreement (effective September 30, 2014) and a waiver of the six month notice
provision. In this case, the waiver of the notice period is particularly
important to the Village as without it, the Village would be required to pay an
entire year’s worth of use and renewal/replacement charges. The Village’s talk
groups on the County’s system were disabled on October 1, 2014 but the Village
is aware that charges for FY 15 are still due to the County unless the waiver
is approved by the Board. On November 17, 2009, the Board approved an Interlocal
Agreement (R2009-1969) (Radio Maintenance Agreement) which provided for radio
maintenance services and which was extended to November 16, 2015 through a
First Amendment (R2012-1683). The Village is also requesting approval of an
early termination of the Radio Maintenance Agreement and waiver of the three
month notice provision. The County notified its maintenance vendor that
services to the Village would be terminated close of business on September 30,
2014. The Interlocal Agreement for access to the countywide common talk groups
provides the terms and conditions under which the Village can program its
radios to utilize the countywide common talk groups for certain interagency
communications through the MPSCC’s radio system. The terms of the Agreement are standard and
there are no charges associated with this Agreement. The Village is required to pay all costs
associated with the subscriber units and to comply with established operating
procedures for the System. The Agreement may be terminated by either party,
with or without cause. (ESS) Countywide
