Worksharing Agreement is being submitted as a receive
and file agenda item for the Clerk’s office to note and receive. The
Worksharing Agreement is a prerequisite to the receipt of a Charge Resolution
Contract. Execution of this contract is
required so that OEO can receive payment for processing and resolving complaints
of employment discrimination pursuant to the Worksharing Agreement with the
EEOC. This Charge Resolution Contract is
for FY 2014-2015 and is in the amount of $73,400 ($70,000 - charge processing;
$1,000 Intake Services, $1,400 - attendance at EEOC sponsored annual training
and $1,000 for FEPA engagement funding). EEOC Charge Resolution Contracts for
all Fair Employment Practices Agencies nationwide provide payment at a rate of

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

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. District

SUMMARY: On January 12, 2010, the Board of County Commissioners approved an
agreement (R2010-0095) with FDEP authorizing the County to perform
contamination cleanup activities in Palm Beach County on behalf of the
State. The agreement would have expired
June 30, 2015. Given that the state
budget approval process was delayed, the Amendment was not provided until June
30, 2015. The Director of ERM signed the
Amendment on June 30, 2015, thereby extending the agreement. Under the Amendment, the County, through ERM,
will continue administering the program for the period of July 1, 2015, through
June 30, 2016. On an annual or

total eligible construction costs associated with the Phipps Ocean Park Beach
Nourishment Project (Project); and
B) A Budget Transfer of $2,432,228 in the Beach
Improvement Fund from various projects to the Phipps Ocean Park Beach

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. (DES Administration) District 3

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)

motion to approve: a Developer Agreement (Agreement) with HW Spring
Training Complex, LLC, (LLC) formed by the Washington
Nationals Baseball Club, L.L.C., a Washington, D.C. 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.

LLC, (LLC) formed by the Washington Nationals Baseball Club, L.L.C., a
Washington, D.C. 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) for use of the
Facility for a term of approximately thirty one (31) years and use fees
totaling $68.8 Million Dollars over the term of the Agreement. SUMMARY: This Agreement sets forth the terms and

Agreement, in order to cover debt service. Payments commence on the third
anniversary of the issuance of the County Bonds and continue through the term
of thirty (30) years after the conclusion of the first full spring training
season (approximately 31 years). The LLC is solely responsible for funding and
performing routine repair and maintenance and for complying with and performing
any required corrective action, including emergency repairs and maintenance,
resulting from hazardous conditions, safety or regulatory requirements,
defects, flaws or other issues or condition identified in an inspection. The
County is responsible for funding renewal/replacement (R/R) projects for public
use improvements which are identified in Exhibit B of the Agreement, except for
improvements identified in Exhibit F of the Developer Agreement (County
Standard Design and Construction Policy Deviations). The LLC is responsible for
funding R/R projects that are not identified as County R/R projects. Capital improvements may be funded and
performed by the LLC and if undertaken, become the R/R responsibility of the
LLC. The LLC is entitled to receive and retain all revenue streams from its use
and operation of the Facility other than profits stemming from County Events.
The LLC has exclusive concessionaire rights and the LLC can retain all such
revenues. All advertising revenue is the
sole property of the LLC and the LLC controls all naming rights to the Facility
but will include “of/at the Palm Beaches” at the end of the Facility name that
is deemed acceptable to the LLC and subject to change from time to time. The Astros and the Nationals shall each
provide the County with $500,000 of tourism and marketing services annually at
each Team’s home city stadium or to each Team’s home city audience. Each Team
shall meet with the TDC annually to review and reach agreement on the
promotional plan for the coming year. Jupiter Stadium Limited (JSL), which is
the entity formed by the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals to operate Roger
Dean Stadium is reviewing the negotiated contract and could claim more
favorable terms” on the property taxes provision. The
approval of this Agreement is a companion to the Interlocal Agreement with the
City of West Palm Beach, Developer Agreement, and three separate Agreements
pertaining to reclaimed water serving the Facility. (FDO Admin) Countywide/District

to serve irrigation needs of the Major League Spring Training Facility.
SUMMARY: The County’s Major League Spring Training
complex (the “Facility”) will require reclaimed water for irrigation. Construction of a pipeline from the East
Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Facilities (ECRWTF) will be required in
order to provide reclaimed water to the Facility. Pursuant to the Retail Agreement, the County
will design and construct a pipeline and metering facilities connecting the
ECRWTF to the Facility. The cost of this
project will be borne by the County and funded as part of the Facility project
budget. The County Water Utilities
Department will administer this project.
Upon completion of construction, the pipeline and metering facilities
will be owned, operated and maintained by the City. The County will design and construct the
connecting and metering facilities necessary to connect the pipeline to the
ECRWTF pursuant to the ECR Agreement.
Those costs will be borne by the County and funded out of the Facility
project budget. The County Water Utilities Department will sell reclaimed water
to the City pursuant to the Bulk Purchase Agreement. These agreements are only
necessary as a result of the development of the Facility and approval is being
considered as a companion to the Interlocal Agreement, Developer Agreement and
