2.         Staff recommends motion to approve the following FY 2014 Year-End Budget Amendments and Transfers: 

 

A) Budget Amendment of $5,000 in the General Fund to recognize additional reimbursable expenses from the Housing Finance Authority and transfer $151,896 within the General Fund to reallocate budget between departments;

 

B) Budget Amendment of $3,800 in the E-911 Wire Line Fund to increase the transfer to close out the fund;

 

C) Budget Amendment of $1,800 in the E-911 Wireless Fund to increase the transfer to close out the fund;

 

D) Budget Amendment of $5,600 in the E-911 Carry Forward Capital Fund to recognize the transfers and increase reserves;

 

E) Budget Amendment of $7,250 in the $35.0M NAV 08 CP, PBSO Mobile Data to increase the transfer to close out the fund;

 

F) Budget Amendment of $7,250 in the Capital Outlay Fund to recognize transfer from the $35.0M NAV 08 CP, PBSO Mobile Data Fund and increase reserves;

 

G) Budget Amendment of $154,900 in the Abacoa Impact Fee Account to recognize revenue and establish a transfer to close out the fund; and

 

H) Budget Amendment of $1,070,197 in the Abacoa Trust Sub Account to recognize the transfer and Increase reserves for projects.

 

SUMMARY: These budget amendments are necessary to properly allocate budget for FY 2014.  A) Actual indirect cost for the Housing and Finance Authority cost center exceeded the budget due to the allocation of ISS Enterprise charges which were previously allocated to the Department of Economic Sustainability.  Expenses are offset by an increase to revenue (reimbursed expenses) from the Housing and Finance Authority. The reallocation of $151,896 is necessary to cover personnel costs, specifically retirement and health insurance, for five departments.  Due to a variance between actual rates and budgeted rates, departments with no lapsed salaries overspent their budgets. The Commissioners’ budgets are also being adjusted to cover the variance between budgeted and actual expenditures.  There is sufficient funding in the Security and Access Division of Facilities Development and Operations to cover these transfers. B,C,D) The E-911 wire line and wireless funds were established in 2004.  Due to changes in the 911 statutes a new fund was established to account for both the wire line and wireless fees.  However, the wire line and wireless funds were kept active to carryover the allowable 20% of unspent moneys for capital improvements.  These funds are now being closed out and the balance transferred to a new capital fund to streamline the process and more efficiently manage the funds available for capital expenditures.  E,F) This amendment in the Sheriff’s Mobile Data Capital Fund recognizes additional interest revenue and statutory reserves therefore increasing the amount of the transfer to close out the fund. G,H) Per the agreement between the County, Abacoa Development, and the Northern Palm Beach Control Improvement District, the Abacoa Impact Fee Fund was used to reimburse the cost of eligible road construction.  All roads have been constructed and payments made so the remaining balance is being transferred to the Abacoa Trust Sub Account for County projects required under the agreement.

B) approve two County Deeds in favor of the Village of Palm Springs.

 

SUMMARY:  The Village of Palm Springs (Village) requested the annexation of County owned properties located north of Lakewood Road and west of Kirk Road.  One of the properties was conveyed to the County by Warranty Deed in 1960 for a public road, street, park, or for other public purposes.  This property is approximately 26 feet wide and 276 feet long, consists of approximately 7,176 square feet (.16 acres), and remains unimproved.  The other property was purchased by the County in 1976 (R76-866) for $103.98 for future right-of-way purposes.  This property is approximately 15 feet wide and 120 feet long, consists of approximately 1,836 square feet (.04 acres), and also remains unimproved except for the northernmost area of the property which was incorporated into Gardenia Avenue.  The Village committed to assume ownership, maintenance responsibility and liability for these properties in exchange for the County voluntarily annexing each property into the Village. The Board of County Commissioners consented to the annexation (R2014-1099) on July 23, 2014, and the Village Council approved the annexation on July 24, 2014. These two properties serve no present or future County purpose and have assessed values of $297 and $270, respectively.   The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights 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).   (PREM) District 3 (HJF)

B)  approve a Lease Agreement with the Florida Department of Education on behalf of the Division of Blind Services.

 

SUMMARY:  The Florida Department of Education on behalf of the Division of Blind Services has occupied 825 SF of space at the Palm Beach County Judicial Center located at 205 North Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach under Lease Agreement dated June 22, 2004 (R2004-1438), as amended, for the operation of Don’s Coffee Spot.  The Lease expired on September 30, 2014.  The Division of Blind Services has requested the continued use of the premises and the use of a storage closet located adjacent to the premises which expands the current leased premises by 96 SF.  Don’s Coffee Spot provides a service to employees within the Judicial Center and visiting members of the public. The term of this Lease Agreement is for two years retroactively commencing on October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2016, with four extension options of two years each and includes 3% annual rent increases.  The annual rent is $16,134.42 ($1,344.54 per mo/$17.52 per sf).  Rent has been collected for the period October 1, 2014, through the effective date of this Lease Agreement.  Either party may terminate the Lease upon ninety days written notice.

A) an Amendment and Partial Release of Agreement with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) (R2014-1042); and

 

B) Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal Agreement with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (Commission) (R2014-1043) related to the proposed Public Shooting Park.

 

SUMMARY: In 2013, the County sold 1,896 acres of the Mecca Farms property to the SFWMD subject to SFWMD’s agreement to comply with County bond limitations and with the understanding that the SFWMD would convey 150 acres in the northwest corner of the property to the Commission for use as a Public Shooting Park.  SFWMD and the Commission are ready to close on the 150 acres.  This Amendment and Partial Release releases the 150 acre Shooting Park property from the Memorandum of Agreement which was recorded against the Mecca Farms property to provide public notice of the continuing obligations of SFWMD to the County, including compliance with bond limitations, Seminole Pratt Whitney right-of-way repurchase option and access and drainage for the existing Water Utilities building. Those obligations do not involve the Commission, and the Commission requires that the 150 acres be released prior to their closing with SFWMD. On July 22, 2014, the Board approved the Interlocal Agreement with the Commission addressing the development and operation of the Shooting Park.  The agreement assumed that the Commission would utilize County Staff and contracting capabilities to obtain the necessary zoning approvals. The Commission instead finds that it may be more practical and beneficial to keep its own design team fully intact during the zoning approval process and the Commission requests that the County continue to assume financial responsibility for zoning fees and related expenses.  County Staff supports the request as it imposes no more cost burden upon the County than is already established within the Agreement and budgeted by the County while allowing County Staff to focus on County projects and priorities. Other than the change identified above, all other terms remain materially the same. (PREM) Countywide/District 1 (HJF)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with the Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (RBCRA) for the period of November 18, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Summary: This Agreement provides $150,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds allocated by the Board of County Commissioners on June 3, 2014 (Agenda Item No. 3I-3) to RBCRA.  These funds will 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 relocating 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 Federal CDBG grant funds which require no local match. (DES Contract Development) District 7 (TKF)

Summary: Palm Beach County in partnership with the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University (RP at FAU) has submitted a grant application to EDA for a Science and Research Park Development Grant for the purpose of conducting a feasibility study on the development of a science and research park in northern Palm Beach County. The development of a second park in northern Palm Beach County to foster the growth of life sciences and related industries would enhance and complement the existing infrastructure FARDA operates in Boca Raton, and would build upon the biotech cluster anchored in North County by the Scripps and Max Planck institutes. The park would have ties with Florida Atlantic University and its medical school, and would participate in the existing collaboration of RP at FAU with Palm Beach State College and the School District in life science and biotechnology programs including the K-20 STEM education program, to ensure development of a trained workforce. A feasibility study will provide data demonstrating the demand, resources, marketing and a timeline that will help to shape the project planning process for a research park in northern Palm Beach County. Although there was no match required in the Notice of Funding Availability, community public and private organizations have pledged $400,000 of in-kind support to leverage the $290,000 grant application.
