TITLE: Proclamation declaring
July 2015 as “Park and Recreation Month” in Palm Beach County. (Sponsored by
Commissioner Taylor Valeche)

(Sponsored by Commissioner Taylor)
24 4A-2 REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff requests Board
direction: concerning a request by Related Companies, L.P. (Developer)
regarding proposed parking modifications for the Convention Center Hotel. If the Board supports the Developer’s
request, staff recommends a motion to
approve: A)..B)..C) Easement Agreement for Parking
Spaces – B Deck Garage (Garage Easement). Such approval should be
contingent upon receipt of an access easement to the garage in favor of Hotel
and County (Access Easement), and a legal opinion in favor of the
County certifying the validity and enforceability of the Garage Easement and
Access Easement, and receipt of Consents to the Third Amendments from
the Lenders. Summary: On October 30, 2012,
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Agreements to facilitate the
construction and operation of the Convention Center Hotel. The project documents contemplate a 630 space
one story garage on a parcel of land (garage land) east of the hotel site on
Florida Avenue. In lieu of the parking
garage, the Developer desires to instead construct 300
255 valet spaces on the garage land and utilize 330 375
valet spaces in an existing parking structure in CityPlace,
which is owned by the West Palm Beach Community Development District. The
Developer has initiated this request for the following reasons: (1) they have invested $10 Million more than
anticipated for the hotel; (2) the elimination of the parking structure would
save $5 Million resulting in earlier rental payments to the County; (3) they
believe the parking demands are overestimated; and (4) they are optimistic
about the operating performance of the hotel and that not constructing the
garage would allow for the consideration of constructing future hotel rooms. Staff is primarily concerned for the
following reasons: (1) the parking garage is a requirement of the Development
Agreement; (2) the parking demand on the hotel are greater than they project;
and (3) that traffic impacts from the hotel valet operation across Okeechobee Boulevard
to CityPlace will worsen an already poor traffic
pattern during peak periods. The
Developer is currently exceeding the local workforce goals of 40% skilled and
60% unskilled laborers, with 69% and 82% respectively. District 7 (HF) (Admin)
25 4A-4 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, recommending approval of Project Listen, 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 Refund Program not to exceed $70,000; and
B) conceptually approve
an Economic Development Incentive for Project Listen to serve as a portion of
the local match for a State QTI Tax Refund, in the amount of $70,000 in the
form of a Job Growth Incentive (JGI) Grant, to be paid over a seven year period
according to the State’s QTI Refund Schedule.
Summary: Project Listen is
a headquarters relocation project that plans to make a $4.85 Million capital
investment to acquire, renovate and equip an existing facility in Palm Beach
County and create 100 new full-time jobs within four years. The annualized average wage for these new
jobs, including executives will be $84,892 and annualized average wage,
excluding executives, will be $84,721.
The company will be required to maintain the new jobs for a period of
five years. It is anticipated that the
State of Florida will provide $700,000 in the form of a Qualified Target
Industry (QTI) Tax Refund which includes a required 20% local match of
$140,000. One half of the local match will be provided by the City of West Palm
Beach through a grant in the amount of $70,000, and the other half will be
provided by the County through a JGI
Grant in the amount of $70,000. The JGI
Grant will be paid over a period of seven years according to the State’s QTI
Refund Schedule, and 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 $35.9 Million. Funding for the Job
Growth Incentive Grant will come from General Fund Contingency Reserves. District
7 (JB) (Admin)
26 4C-3 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, urging the National Football
Foundation Honors Committee to induct Coach Howard Schnellenberger
into the College Football Hall of Fame. SUMMARY: Coach Howard Schnellenberger,
a Palm Beach County resident, is a retired football coach with long service at
both the professional and college levels.
The Hall of Fame requires
coaching nominees to retire with at least a .600 win percentage, but provides
for induction in unique cases where coaches retire with less, such as Coach
Schnellenberger’s .520 win percentage. What he did for the sport, however, far
transcends such simple figures. Coach Howard Schnellenberger
deserves every consideration to be in the College Football Hall of Fame. District
4 (DO) (County Attorney)
27 4D-1 REVISED SUMMARY: a
Settlement Agreement with CDM Smith, Inc., settling claims brought by the
County regarding alleged design and engineering deficiencies at the Lake Region
Water Treatment Plant and Wellfield. Summary: On June 21, 2011, the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) approved a budget transfer of $6.9 Million for emergency
repairs/improvements to the existing 10 MGD Lake Region Water Treatment Plant,
which serves Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay, contingent upon the Glades
Utility Authority assignment of potential claims to the County upon
absorption. The repairs/improvements
were intended to address a decline in raw water quality from the existing seven
Floridan Aquifer brackish water supply wells, operational difficulties, and
equipment failures. All of the funding has been expended and has resulted in
improved well and plant performance. The repairs/improvements include the
construction of three additional supply wells and pumps, replacement of seven
of the existing well pumps, and installation of energy recovery devices on the
existing four treatment trains.
In addition to repairs and
improvements, the County investigated the potential causes for the water
quality degradation and operational difficulties experienced at the Lake Region
Water Treatment Plant. The County has identified what it believes to be
violations of the engineering standard of care owed by CDM Smith Inc., formerly
Camp Dresser McKee, Inc., the engineering firm retained through three (3)
Consultant Services Authorizations (R-2002-0570, R-2002-0574 and R-2005-0774)
to provide engineering services for the design and construction of the plant
and supporting facilities. The County’s
position is that CDM Smith Inc.’s violations of the standard of care
contributed to the operational problems experienced at the Lake Region Water
Treatment Plant and Wellfield. The
parties engaged in pre-suit mediation and exchanged documentation to address
the County’s concerns. Due to the
significant volume of technical material to be evaluated, the due diligence and
pre-suit mediation took significantly longer than anticipated. The proposed settlement agreement calls for a
one-time payment of $700,000 by CDM Smith, Inc., to the County, in exchange for
a release of all claims that have been or could have been raised relating to
the Lake Region Water Treatment Plant project.

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Emergency Contract for Provision of Ryan
White Part A HIV Health Support Services with the
Health Care District of Palm Beach County, for the period March 1, 2015,
through February 29, 2016, in the amount not to exceed $434,031, to provide certain services for the health and support of
persons with HIV Spectrum Disease. Summary: A notice of grant award was received on
February 6, 2015, from the U.S Health and Human Services Health Resources
Services Administration (HRSA), issuing a partial award in the amount of
$5,975,290 in Formula, Supplemental and Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)
funding. An additional grant award will
be issued at a later date. A Ryan White
Request for Proposals (RFP) was released in August 2014 for services commencing
on March 1, 2015. After release of the
RFP, additional information related to federal requirements for the Local Drug
Reimbursement Program was received. As a
result, this part of the RFP was rescinded.
The prior provider of this service, the Health Care District of Palm
Beach County, did not apply for funds under the RFP. Due to the rescinding of this service from
the RFP, it is necessary to enter into an emergency contract with the Health
Care District of Palm Beach County to ensure continued availability of
medications for Ryan White clients. A
new RFP for the Local Drug Reimbursement Program will be released in August
2015 for services for the period March 1, 2016 to February 28, 2018. The contract will be amended and the
budget will be aligned once the final notice of award has been received. This contract covers services for HIV
affected clients for the local drug reimbursement program, which includes HIV
medications and nutritional supplements.
No County funds are required.

motion to approve:
A)
Contract with Leo A. Daly Company in the amount of $1,055,300 for
professional architectural and engineering design, permitting, and construction
administration services for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO)
Evidence/Impound Facility; and
B) Contract with James B. Pirtle Construction
Company, Inc. d/b/a Pirtle Construction Company in the amount of $107,507 for
pre-construction services for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO)
Evidence/Impound Facility project.
SUMMARY: The Leo A. Daly Company contract provides
for the design, permitting and construction administration services for the
PBSO Evidence/Impound Facility to be located on a 16 acre site near Congress
Avenue and Gun Club Road in West Palm Beach.
The Pirtle Construction Company construction management service contract
only authorizes pre-construction services.
Once the construction documents are completed, the construction manager
will bid the work and provide a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) to the County.
The need for this project was originally established in 2006 and again
recognized in 2008 when funding for the preconstruction services was included
in the Criminal Justice and Public Improvement Revenue Bond, Series 2008. This project was later suspended in 2010 due
to budgetary challenges. Since 2008 PBSO
has accomplished many achievements in Evidence Management which will not only
result in operational benefits to PBSO, but reduce the size of the facility
required. The facility consists of
secure office, warehouse, and processing area as well as a 600 vehicle impound
lot. Construction cost is estimated at $18,000,000. It is anticipated that construction will be
proposed for the FY 2017 capital budget with funding from a bond issue or other
general revenue source. Leo A. Daly
Company is a Palm Beach County firm and will provide Small Business Enterprise
(SBE) participation of 29%. Pirtle
Construction Company is a Broward County firm with a Palm Beach County office and
will provide 4.9% SBE participation during the pre-construction phase. The 15%
SBE goal will be achieved during the construction phase of the project.

On March 10, 2015, the Board approved a 48.42 acre Deed of Conservation
Easement for John Prince Memorial Park. One of the legal descriptions of the
conservation areas has been revised to adjust the perimeter limits of the
easement area. The overall easement area
is being reduced by .59 acres to 47.83 acres.
A Deed of Conservation Easement in favor of SFWMD is required in order
to satisfy a condition of SFWMD Permit No. 50-02844-S issued in July 2009, for
improvements at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park’s ski lake. The .59
acre reduction of land from the conservation easement area is not required to
satisfy the total acreage requirement for the SFWMD permit. The Deed of Conservation Easement approved on
March 10, 2015, has not been recorded.
This Deed of Conservation Easement with the revised legal description
will replace the March 10, 2015, version and will be recorded into the public
records to satisfy the SFWMD permit condition.
This Easement will ensure that the 47.83 acre wetland mitigation area
created in John Prince Memorial Park will remain in a natural state and will be
maintained by the County in perpetuity.
The Conservation Easement allows passive recreation including
boardwalks, mulched trails and observation platforms, and is consistent with

1. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: Termination of Contract letter regarding Interlocal Agreement
R2015-0338 with the Village of Golf (Village) for connection to Palm Beach
County (County) Regional Network. SUMMARY:
Per Interlocal Agreement R2015-0338 established in March 2015, the Village
intended to connect three buildings and their security system to the Palm Beach
County Network in order to utilize County Internet services via the Florida
LambdaRail. This agreement would have generated $10,680 in annual revenues to
the County. The Information Systems
Services Department was subsequently notified that the
Village wished to terminate the agreement after determining their organization
could not meet certain provisions within the contract concerning security and
equipment requirements; nor did they have the technical support staff to move
and support their critical computer system on the county network. As no services have yet been provided to the
Village, the agreement has not been activated and therefore, no payments are
due from the Village. District 4 (PFK)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Payment to StageRight
Corporation in the amount of $598,302 via the emergency purchase process for
elevated riser seating to be incorporated into the exhibit hall seating
offering at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. SUMMARY: In
anticipation of a major sporting event at the Palm Beach County Convention
Center (Convention Center), Global Spectrum, L.P (Global) operator of the Palm
Beach County Convention Center sought to secure through a formal RFP process
elevated riser seating. The Sports Commission of Palm Beach County had secured
a spectator event for the Convention Center in June 2015. The risers were received at the Convention Center
on June 1st and were first used on June 13th, 14th and 15th
for the Sports Commission’s Florida Sunshine State Games generating 1,200 hotel
room nights from this event. Although
Global conducted an RFP process for the purchase of these risers, staff
supports the purchase as an emergency since the purchase process was expedited
in order to accommodate the major sporting event at the Convention Center and
avoid renting the risers for the four day event. There is a proven demand from
room night oriented business from sporting
events in our community. The Palm Beach
County Convention Center lacked the riser seating requirement to elevate the
viewing audience that is normally supplied by the host Sports Commission for
most regional, national and international events. The Tourist Development Council Board
approved the purchase of risers. (TDC) Countywide (DW)

2. REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff
requests Board direction:
concerning a request by Related Companies, L.P. (Developer) regarding proposed
parking modifications for the Convention Center Hotel. If the Board supports the Developer’s
request, staff recommends a motion to
approve:
A) the Third
Amendment to the Development Agreement;
B) the Third
Amendment to the Hotel Lease; and
C) Easement
Agreement for Parking Spaces – B Deck Garage (Garage Easement). Such
approval should be contingent upon receipt of an access easement to the garage
in favor of Hotel and County (Access Easement), and a legal
opinion in favor of the County certifying the validity and enforceability of
the Garage Easement and Access Easement, and receipt of Consents to
the Third Amendments from the Lenders.
Summary: On October 30, 2012,
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Agreements to facilitate the
construction and operation of the Convention Center Hotel. The project documents contemplate a 630 space
one story garage on a parcel of land (garage land) east of the hotel site on
Florida Avenue. In lieu of the parking
garage, the Developer desires to instead construct 300 255 valet
spaces on the garage land and utilize 330 375 valet spaces in an
existing parking structure in CityPlace, which is owned by the West Palm Beach
Community Development District. The
Developer has initiated this request for the following reasons: (1) they have invested $10 Million more than
anticipated for the hotel; (2) the elimination of the parking structure would
save $5 Million resulting in earlier rental payments to the County; (3) they
believe the parking demands are overestimated; and (4) they are optimistic
about the operating performance of the hotel and that not constructing the
garage would allow for the consideration of constructing future hotel
rooms. Staff is primarily concerned for
the following reasons: (1) the parking garage is a requirement of the
Development Agreement; (2) the parking demand on the hotel are greater than
they project; and (3) that traffic impacts from the hotel valet operation
across Okeechobee Boulevard to CityPlace will worsen an already poor traffic
pattern during peak periods. The
Developer is currently exceeding the local workforce goals of 40% skilled and
60% unskilled laborers, with 69% and 82% respectively. District 7 (HF)

recommends motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, recommending approval of Project Listen, 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 Refund Program not to exceed $70,000; and
B) conceptually approve
an Economic Development Incentive for Project Listen to serve as a portion of
the local match for a State QTI Tax Refund, in the amount of $70,000 in the
form of a Job Growth Incentive (JGI) Grant, to be paid over a seven year period
according to the State’s QTI Refund Schedule.
Summary: Project Listen is
a headquarters relocation project that plans to make a $4.85 Million capital
investment to acquire, renovate and equip an existing facility in Palm Beach
County and create 100 new full-time jobs within four years. The annualized average wage for these new
jobs, including executives will be $84,892 and annualized average wage,
excluding executives, will be $84,721.
The company will be required to maintain the new jobs for a period of
five years. It is anticipated that the
State of Florida will provide $700,000 in the form of a Qualified Target
Industry (QTI) Tax Refund which includes a required 20% local match of
$140,000. One half of the local match will be provided by the City of West Palm
Beach through a grant in the amount of $70,000, and the other half will be
provided by the County through a JGI
Grant in the amount of $70,000. The JGI
Grant will be paid over a period of seven years according to the State’s QTI
Refund Schedule, and 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 $35.9 Million. Funding
for the Job Growth Incentive Grant will come from General Fund Contingency

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on
July 21, 2015 at 9:30 a.m.: an
Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,

The Board of County Commissioners, at its May 15, 2015 meeting, directed staff
to prepare an ordinance pertaining to human trafficking upon passage of a state
law pertaining to this subject. The new
law (2015-172), signed by the Governor on June 16, 2015, authorizes counties to
enforce posting of human trafficking public awareness signs at adult
entertainment and massage/bodywork establishments alerting employees and

Schnellenberger into the College Football Hall of

a Palm Beach County resident, is a retired football coach with long service at
both the professional and college levels.
The Hall of Fame requires
coaching nominees to retire with at least a .600 win percentage, but provides
for induction in unique cases where coaches retire with less, such as Coach
Schnellenberger’s .520 win percentage. What he did for the sport, however, far
transcends such simple figures. Coach Howard Schnellenberger
deserves every consideration to be in the College Football Hall of Fame. District

D. WATER UTILITIES
1. REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Settlement Agreement with CDM Smith, Inc.,
settling claims brought by the County regarding
alleged design and engineering deficiencies at the Lake Region Water Treatment
Plant and Wellfield. Summary: On June 21, 2011, the Board of County
Commissioners (Board) approved a budget transfer of $6.9 Million for emergency
repairs/improvements to the existing 10 MGD Lake Region Water Treatment Plant,
which serves Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay, contingent upon the Glades
Utility Authority assignment of potential claims to the County upon
absorption. The repairs/improvements
were intended to address a decline in raw water quality from the existing seven
Floridan Aquifer brackish water supply wells, operational difficulties, and equipment
failures. All of the funding has been expended and has resulted in improved
well and plant performance. The repairs/improvements include the construction
of three additional supply wells and pumps, replacement of seven of the
existing well pumps, and installation of energy recovery devices on the
existing four treatment trains.
In addition to repairs and
improvements, the County investigated the potential causes for the water
quality degradation and operational difficulties experienced at the Lake Region
Water Treatment Plant. The County has identified what it believes to be
violations of the engineering standard of care owed by CDM Smith Inc., formerly
Camp Dresser McKee, Inc., the engineering firm retained through three (3)
Consultant Services Authorizations (R-2002-0570, R-2002-0574 and R-2005-0774)
to provide engineering services for the design and construction of the plant
and supporting facilities. The County’s
position is that CDM Smith Inc.’s violations of the standard of care
contributed to the operational problems experienced at the Lake Region Water
Treatment Plant and Wellfield. The
parties engaged in pre-suit mediation and exchanged documentation to address
the County’s concerns. Due to the significant
volume of technical material to be evaluated, the due diligence and pre-suit
mediation took significantly longer than anticipated. The proposed settlement agreement calls for a
one-time payment of $700,000 by CDM Smith, Inc., to the County, in exchange for
a release of all claims that have been or could have been raised relating to
the Lake Region Water Treatment Plant project.

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a credit in
the amount of $124,753.58 towards outstanding Connection Fees and Guaranteed
Revenues on water and wastewater connections for the Bridges and Hyder Planned
Unit Developments (PUD) as a reimbursement for over reserving capacity with the
Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD). SUMMARY: An affiliated entity
of GL Homes (Developer) currently has six Standard Development Agreements
(SDAs), including three Standard Assignments, with PBCWUD that reserve all necessary water and wastewater
capacity for adjacent contiguions developments in the unincorporated area in
Southern Palm Beach County consisting of the Hyder, Appolonia and Dubois
Planned Unit Developments. On July 25, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) approved Development Order Amendments that amended the three PUDs into
two, essentially abandoning the Appolonia PUD. The reservation of capacity
under each SDA is now inconsistent with the overall project master plan. Since these properties are adjacent to one
another, PBCWUD recommends that the BCC grant an exception to PBCWUD's Uniform
Policies and Procedures Manual (UPAP) to allow capacity to be transferred
between agreements. Since the Developer
has paid to reserve the necessary capacity under each SDA, a credit will be
administered to the Developer in the amount of $124,753.58 towards future
Connection Fees and Guaranteed Revenues on water and wastewater connections. District
