bi-annual grant payments to Palm Beach County to assist in funding the Office
of Inspector General. The payments equal the amount of funding the Town would
have paid pursuant to the cost apportionment method outlined in the Inspector
General Ordinance. This Amendment extends the agreement for one additional
year. Each bi-annual payment for FY 2015 equals $604.50. District 1 (LB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to ratify: the
signature of the Mayor on the Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of
Contract (EECCN120020) No. 0004 [R2012-0659]
with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) allowing the
Office of Equal Opportunity to receive increased revenue in the amount of $500
as payment for increasing the number of intake services by ten from ten to
twenty. 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. 0004 is for FY 2013 -

Contracts for all Fair Employment Practices Agencies nationwide provide payment

Administrator, or his designee, because of the recurring time constraints
involved in this process. The Worksharing Agreement is a prerequisite to the

Solicitation/Modification of Contract to receive the revenue needed to be

OEO to receive the revenue, but the full Board needs to ratify the Mayor’s
signature. Countywide (DO)

revenue for processing and resolving housing discrimination complaints for the
period of July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014, in the total amount of $192,086;
and
B) approve an upward Budget Amendment in the amount of
$7,086 in the Fair Housing Fund (1252) to adjust the budget to the actual
Cooperative Agreement.
Summary: OEO
has a Memorandum of Understanding with HUD through 2013. In order for OEO to receive revenue from HUD
for processing and resolving housing discrimination complaints, execution of
this contract was required prior to September 24, 2014 in order for OEO to meet
HUD’s FY 2014 federal funding deadlines. This Cooperative Agreement is in the
amount of $192,086 ($133,336 - case processing; $28,750 - training funds; $30,000
- administrative costs). This agenda item only deals with the ability for OEO
to receive revenue under the agreement with HUD. OEO cannot receive the revenue without
the Board’s approval. The agreement to
receive the revenue needed to be signed by the Mayor. The Mayor signed the agreement on September
23, 2014 for OEO to receive revenue but the full Board needs to ratify the
Chair’s signature. Countywide (DRO)

stakeholders was conducted and the funding recommendations are a result of
their input. Priority preference is given to special needs households which
include persons with disabilities, elderly and veterans. Approximately 145 households will be assisted
through the recommended strategies. The County utilizes SHIP funds to fulfill
the 25% match requirement for HOME funds. SHIP regulations require that at
least 65% of a local jurisdiction’s SHIP funding allocation be designated for
homeownership activities and that 20% of the funding allocation be expended on

Agreement (R2002-2084) with ESLP to provide $320,000 from HOME Investment
Partnership Program (HOME) funds towards the construction of 20 rental units at

This cash flow dependent loan was provided at three percent (3%) for 15

and a Promissory Note which matures on July 1, 2017. As of August 31, 2014, ESLP owes $320,000 in

of $309,130 for a full satisfaction of the County’s Mortgage. The project has not generated any cash flow
to pay down any amounts owed. Staff has
reviewed cash flow statements recently prepared by an independent Certified
Public Accountant for the period 2008 to the present which confirms the lack of
cash flow as indicated in project income and expense certifications received
from ESLP. Staff recommends acceptance
of ESLP’s offer which would relieve ESLP from its financial obligation without

property; providing for appeal of such trespass notices; providing for

conflict; providing for severability; providing for enforcement; providing for
penalty; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. Summary: On
September 9, 2014, the BCC approved a preliminary reading and advertisement of
a public hearing of this Ordinance. County codes and ordinances allow for citations to be issued in certain
circumstances when violations are committed on property owned by Palm Tran
and/or operated by Palm Beach County (County), but those County codes and
ordinances do not provide a mechanism to temporarily enjoin violators from
returning to such property. The presence of individuals who have violated
certain County ordinances, rules or regulations, certain State laws or notices
contained on a posted sign while on property owned and/or operated by the
County through Palm Tran creates a threat to the safety and welfare of
employees, visitors and citizens of the County.
Temporarily enjoining such individuals from access to such property will
promote public safety and welfare and protect such property. This establishes a
mechanism to issue Palm Tran trespass notices to individuals who violate County
ordinances, rules or regulations, State laws or notices contained in a posted
sign while on property owned and/or operated by the County through Palm Tran
and procedures to be followed when Palm Tran trespass notices are issued,

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
Deposit Receipt and Contract For Sale and Purchase
with Lake Ida Tract, LLC for the sale of approximately five acres of vacant
land adjacent to Lake Ida Park for $500,000. As an alternative, the City of
Boynton Beach has expressed interest in acquiring the property, which Staff
does not recommend. SUMMARY: The
County owns approximately five acres of surplus vacant land at the north end of
Lake Ida Park. This property is
separated from the rest of the Park by a canal and currently has no legal
access. It is adjacent to the old B.E.
Aerospace property which is currently owned by Eden Lake LLC. Several appraisals of the property were
obtained over the years, with values ranging between $92,000 and
$2,400,000. The most recent appraisal
valued the property at $480,000. In
2008, the County entered into a contract for sale of the property for
$1,600,000, but the buyer defaulted. Staff recently re-advertised the property
for sale and an Invitation For Bids (IFB) was
issued. Lake Ida Tract, LLC, (a related
entity with Eden Lake, LLC) was the sole bidder on this IFB in the amount of
$500,000. The property is being sold “as
is” without contingencies. Lake Ida
Tract, LLC will be obligated to create and maintain a 10′ wide shoreline
enhancement and littoral zone at its sole cost and expense. Closing is to occur within 30 days of Board
approval. The County will retain mineral
and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, but
will not retain rights of entry and exploration. The City of Boynton Beach has also indicated a desire to acquire this property for
development of a neighborhood park and for creation of a pathway system
providing pedestrian/bicycle access to nearby residential communities and Lake
Ida Park. The City has offered $100,000
for the property. Creation of the proposed
greenway system would require a bridged connection to the Park, which Parks and
Recreation does not support. Staff recommends the sale of the property to Lake
Ida Tract, LLC as it will generate substantially more revenue for the County
than the City’s proposal. However, if
the Board desires to transfer the Property to the City, the Board should reject
all proposals and direct Staff to prepare the documentation necessary for
transfer to the City for subsequent approval by the Board. This sale must be
approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) Districts 3

D. FIRE RESCUE
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for Public Hearing on
November 18, 2014, at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, amending Section 26-51, Subsection (b), of Chapter 26, Article II,
Division 3, of the Palm Beach County Code; amending the boundaries of the
Fire/Rescue MSTU (Municipal Service Taxing Unit) to include the Town of Lake
Park; providing for effectiveness; providing for opt-out procedures; providing
for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for
inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions. Summary: The Fire/Rescue MSTU encompasses the unincorporated areas of Palm Beach
County plus the incorporated areas within the municipal boundaries of
municipalities that have opted to join the MSTU. The County currently provides fire-rescue
services to the Town of Lake Park (Town) through an Interlocal Agreement
(R2002-0993), at a rate established by the Agreement. The Town now desires to opt into the
Fire/Rescue MSTU as a method to receive and pay for fire-rescue services from
the County. This ordinance will amend
the boundaries of the Fire /Rescue MSTU to include the properties within the
municipal boundaries of the Town. Fire
Rescue services to the Town funded through the MSTU will begin October 1, 2015. Inclusion of the Town in the Fire/Rescue MSTU
will not change the amount of revenue received from the Town for fire-rescue
services. Countywide (SB)

G. COMMUNITY SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) waive the Board of
County Commissioner policy that limits advisory board members to eleven under Resolution
R2013-0193; and
B) adopt a Resolution to
repeal and replace Resolution R2011-1233, regarding the Homeless Advisory Board
(HAB).
Summary: On May 1, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) established the
Homeless Advisory Board to develop and oversee a Ten-Year Plan to End
Homelessness in Palm Beach County (Ten-Year Plan). A modified Resolution is necessary to reduce
and change the composition of the board, from one of plan development to a
board whose focus is oversight of the Ten-Year Plan. The proposed Resolution reduces the
membership from nineteen to fourteen members; the HAB requests a waiver to the BCC Policy under Resolution
R2013-0193, Section 11, providing that the maximum number shall not exceed
eleven. The HAB is requesting this
waiver to allow for necessary representation in designated seats to accomplish
its’ stated purpose. (Human Services) Countywide (TKF)
