3.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) revising Chapters 1 and 6 of the Water Utilities Department's (WUD) Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual (UPAP).  Summary:  The UPAP is a codification of the WUD fees, standards, legal documents, policies and procedures that govern the provision of potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water services.  WUD updates the UPAP from time to time to ensure compliance with recently enacted laws and ordinances, and to ensure that it continues to enable effective and efficient delivery of utility services. Currently, individually or master-metered Dwelling Units are allowed for less than 1,500 square feet of living space per average unit.  The proposed amendment to UPAP Chapter 1 modifies classifications regarding Residential Connections for Multi-Family Units, including either Individual or Master-Metered Dwelling Units, to increase the allowable size from 1,500 square feet to 1,800 square feet.  This change acknowledges the increasing demand for larger apartments and condominiums.  The proposed amendment to UPAP Chapter 6 authorizes the Department to require construction related fees for wastewater and/or fire line connections to be paid prior to the preconstruction meeting for every project. The Water Utilities Advisory Board reviewed and unanimously approved the changes to UPAP at their July 31, 2015 meeting. (Finance and Administration)  Countywide (MJ)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: exchanging the management responsibility of County-owned land between the Department of Environmental Resources Management and the Department of Engineering and Public Works pursuant to the Conservation Lands Protection Ordinance (No. 2003-052) and Resolution R2015-0812. A total of 0.668 acres of land within the Pond Cypress Natural Area (Natural Area) would be conveyed to the Department of Engineering and Public Works for an adjusted right-of-way for the State Road 7 Extension and 3.95 acres of equal or higher quality lands within the existing State Road 7 Extension road right-of-way that is immediately adjacent to the Natural Area would be conveyed to the Department of Environmental Resources Management and incorporated into the northern portions of the Natural Area. SUMMARY: The Conservation Lands Protection Ordinance requires a request to use or convey an interest in conservation lands for purposes other than originally intended to be offset by an offer that provides an exceptional benefit to the Conservation Lands Program.  Engineering, working with the Florida Department of Transportation, filed a request for conveyance of 0.668 acres of land within the Natural Area.  The public purpose for this land exchange is the need for State Road 7 to be extended from 60th Street North to Northlake Boulevard to provide public transportation and traffic relief for residents of western Palm Beach County.  The proposed compensation for the conveyance is the addition of 3.282 acres of land to the Natural Area.  The Board previously approved the concept of this exchange at their meeting on June 23, 2015 (R2015-0812).  This agenda item fulfills the approved concept by actually making the land exchange pursuant to the two-stage process set forth in the Conservation Lands Protection Ordinance.  An affirmative vote of five members of the Board is required for approval.

Since the County no longer has regulatory authority over the area in question, and it lies within the jurisdiction of the Village, it is appropriate to transfer the easement from the County to the Village.

E.        ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to authorize: the Mayor to execute grant documentation requested by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to fund infrastructure improvements at the Lake Worth Park of Commerce. SUMMARY: On May 19, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Lake Worth (City).  In the MOU the City will compensate the County for technical assistance to secure and manage prospective EDA grant funds to facilitate the development of the Lake Worth Park of Commerce.  These grant funds are intended for the reconstruction of Boutwell Road and for other related infrastructure improvements.  The City will be responsible for completing the engineering design work for the proposed roadway improvements, securing matching funds and overseeing implementation of the construction work. On August 3, 2015, EDA informed the County and the City that the grant proposal had been selected through its competitive application review process subject to the appropriation of funds in EDA’s Fiscal Year 2016 budget.  If appropriated, EDA would fund $1,389,100 of the $5,426,600 total project cost under its Public Works Program.  To receive these funds EDA has required the County to be a co-applicant on the grant application.  The City will provide the local match of $4,037,500 to complete the project.  Approval is requested to authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents to join the City as co-applicant in its application to EDA for grant funding for the Lake Worth Park of Commerce. These are federal EDA funds which require a local match which will be provided by the City of Lake Worth as the applicant.  No County local match is required.

F.         FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

TIME CERTAIN 11:00 A.M.: Four Spring Training Facility Agenda Items (5F1 – 5F4)

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement with the City of West Palm Beach (Agreement) for the exchange of property for the development of a two team Major League Baseball spring training complex (Facility).  SUMMARY:  Pursuant to this Agreement, the City will convey approximately 141 acres of City owned property between Haverhill Road and Military Trail lying South of 45th Street (the “Site”) in exchange for the County conveying 1.8 acres of County owned property lying between Evernia and Fern Streets (the “County Property”).  The County will also cause the Teams to construct a 12.2 acre City Park on adjoining City owned property contemporaneously with development of the Facility.  As contemplated by the material term sheet approved by the Board on February 3, 2015, this exchange is not tied to the valuation of the properties being exchanged.  As the Site was previously used by the City as a yard waste landfill, substantial environmental assessment work was performed which indicates that no significant environmental contamination exists which would require remediation of the Site. The team’s consultants have estimated non-environmental reclamation costs (trash removal, soil processing, transportation and disposal) at roughly $11 Million.  Both the City and County have completed their due diligence investigations of the properties to be received by them in this exchange, and each party will be accepting title to the properties in “As-Is” condition.  Closing will occur within thirty (30) days following issuance of County bonds to fund development costs of the Facility. The approval of this Agreement is a companion to and contingent upon the approval of the Developer Agreement, Sports Facility Use Agreement, and three separate Agreements pertaining to reclaimed water serving the Facility. Approval of this item requires a supermajority vote (5 votes).  (FDO/Admin) Countywide/District 7 (HJF)

Limited Liability Company (Nationals) and the Houston Astros, L.L.C., a Texas Limited Liability Company (Astros), to develop a two team Major League Baseball spring training complex (Facility).  SUMMARY: This Agreement provides the terms and conditions by which the LLC shall serve as the County’s development consultant for construction of the Facility as contemplated by the material term sheet approved by the Board on February 3, 2015.  The LLC shall select contractor(s) and consultant(s) consistent with the requirements of the Consultant’s Competitive Negotiation Act, and be responsible for the design, permitting, construction and delivery of the Facility with the minimum requirements outlined in Exhibit B of the Agreement. The County will issue revenue bonds sufficient to fund the development of the Facility in the net amount of 130 Million Dollars to be added to the Five Million Dollars allocated in the Due Diligence and Planning Services Agreement (R2015-0358) approved by the Board on March 10, 2015.  The amount ultimately available for program expenditures (the “Budgeted Amount”) may be lower than 135 Million Dollars, depending on whether the extent to which any pre-construction cost savings are identified. However, the County’s obligation to issue County Bonds to finance the development is subject to conditions precedent as follows: 1) execution of this Agreement, 2) execution of the Sports Facility Use Agreement, 3) closing on the exchange of the properties as contemplated by the Interlocal Agreement with the City of West Palm Beach (Interlocal), 4) County’s receipt of the Funding Certification Letter from the State pursuant to F.S. §288.11631, 5) completion of the due diligence requirements for the Facility, and 6) approval of this Agreement by Major League Baseball, if required. Until such time that all conditions precedent are met; the Budgeted Amount remains at Five Million Dollars.  In addition, the Agreement assigns the County’s responsibilities pursuant to the Reclaimed Water Agreements and the Interlocal to the LLC, which includes the design, permitting, development and delivery of a park on approximately 12.2 acres adjacent to the Facility, at the LLC’s sole cost and expense. The approval of this Agreement is a companion to the Interlocal, Sports Facility Use Agreement and three separate Agreements pertaining to reclaimed water serving the Facility.
