52 5A-2 REVISED SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to: A) adopt a
Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
recommending approval of Project Darwin, 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 Program in the form of a cash grant in an amount
not to exceed $160,000 and providing for an effective date; and B)….
Summary: Project Darwin is
considering a site in the municipality of Boca Raton for the build out location
of its new manufacturing facility which will include a $28 Million
capital investment for the construction of a 150,000 120,000 sq.
ft. facility and create 160 new full-time jobs over a four year period at an
average annual salary and a median salary of $64,356 and $58,000,
respectively. The company will be
required to maintain the existing 57 jobs for a period of five years from the
effective date of the Economic Development Incentive Agreement and will be
required to maintain the new jobs for a period of five years from the date the
jobs are created. It is anticipated that
the State of Florida will provide $800,000 in the form of a Qualified Target
Industry tax refund which requires a 20% local match of $160,000. The County will provide the local match for
the QTI. The State is also expected to
provide $400,000 $500,000 in the form of a Quick Action Closing
Fund. The local match for the Quick Action Closing Fund of $160,000 $200,000
will be provided by the City of Boca Raton.
The company will be required to enter into a formal agreement
memorializing their commitments and establishing criteria for funding
distribution which will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for
final approval. At such time the company
name will be disclosed. The five year
local economic impact is estimated to be $273 Million. District 4 (JB)
(Admin/DES)
53 5A-3 ADD-ON, REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to
conceptually approve: an Economic Development Incentive for Project Tiger
in the form of an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption over ten years, in an amount not to
exceed $850,000. SUMMARY: Project Tiger is considering a site in the
unincorporated Glades region of Palm Beach County for the location of its new
manufacturing facility that plans to make a $40 Million capital investment for
the construction of a 250,000 90,000 sq. ft. plant. The project
will create 71 new full-time jobs over a five year period at an average annual
wage of $50,000 excluding executive salaries and benefits. The company
will be required to maintain the new jobs for a period of five years from the
date each job is created. The State of Louisiana is also competing for
this project. The State has not made a determination on incentives for this
project. The incentive recommendation is based on the fact that the project will be located in the Glades region of Palm
Beach County where dire economic conditions persist with poverty rates
exceeding 30% and unemployment rates exceeding 20% in census tracts
(approximately double and quadruple the national averages respectively).
The company will be required to enter into a formal agreement approved by the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) 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 $162 Million. District 6 (JB) (Admin/DES)
55 5C-2 DELETED: Staff
recommends motion to direct: Staff to take all action necessary to
terminate the Governmental Center Lease Agreement with LJL Food Management,
Inc., d/b/a Tina’s Café (R2002-0829). (FDO) (Further staff review)

provides the terms and conditions under which the Participant can directly
access the System. The terms of this
Agreement are standard and have been offered to all municipalities and local
branches of State/Federal agencies where connection through an established
municipal hub is not technically feasible. Since 2002, the Participant’s Police
Department has been interoperable with the County’s System, initially through a
Talk Group Agreement, and beginning in 2004 via a Direct Connect Agreement.
This Agreement requires that the Participant pay a one-time $3,234/unit access
or capacity charge as well as annual fees of $211.42/unit towards the renewal
and replacement fund and $226/unit towards maintenance and operation of the system
infrastructure. The annual fees are
consistent with those being charged to the County departments. The Participant is required to pay all costs
associated with Participant’s subscriber units and to comply with the
established operating procedures for the System. The Participant will assign
representatives to participate in user committee meetings to discuss system
maintenance and administration issues.
The term of the Agreement is for five years and there are two renewal
options, each for a term of four years.
The Agreement may be terminated by either party, with or without cause
on October 1st of any year, with a minimum of six months notice. (ESS) Countywide (MJ)

motion to approve: Amendment No.
2 to the contract with The Weitz Company, LLC (R2014-0923) in the amount of
$988,714 for the Convention Center Parking Garage Project. SUMMARY:
On April 7, 2015, the Board
approved an initial Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) based on design development drawings. The initial GMP included site
clearing, excavation, and compaction work which proceeded prior to: 1) the
completion of the design documents for the foundation and structure, and 2) issuance
of the foundation and building permits. Staff recommended proceeding in this manner in
order to coordinate the timing of this
project and the hotel construction so as to only impact parking availability
for one peak booking/attendance season.
Amendment No. 2 will provide for
costs associated with the final design of the foundation and above grade work
as well as any costs arising as a result of building permit conditions. Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
participation for this Amendment is 25.7%, and the overall project SBE
participation is 16.2%. The Weitz
Company, LLC is a local firm and it is anticipated that 75% of the work will be
done by local contractors. Since this secondary pricing was anticipated, the
funds for this Amendment are accounted for within the project contingency.

HUD
requires housing authorities to submit a "Certification of Consistency
with the Consolidated Plan" when they apply for grants. The Pahokee Housing Authority is applying to
HUD for a grant under the ROSS Service Coordinators Program and requires this
Certification from Palm Beach County to do so.
The Certification indicates that the application is consistent with the
County’s Consolidated Plan. The
Department of Economic Sustainability examined the proposed program’s goals and
objectives outlined in the grant application and determined that they are
consistent with the overall goals and objectives outlined in the County’s
Consolidated Plan of increasing the supply of affordable housing, improving the
quality of existing affordable rental housing, improving access to affordable
rental housing, and promoting self-sufficiency and economic independence. Since the Pahokee Housing Authority’s ROSS
grant application is consistent with the County’s Consolidated Plan, staff

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: revised Short Sale Policy Guidelines for County
Affordable Housing Mortgage Programs. Summary: On January 12, 2010, the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) approved Short Sale Policy Guidelines (6C-1)
allowing financial relief to distressed homeowners. The current short sale
policy requires an eligible homeowner to repay the County $3,000 or eight
percent (8%) of the remaining balance owed on the County’s State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) assisted
second mortgages. Between January 29,
2010 and August 5, 2015, 112 short sales were processed which represent 0.07%
of the total County held second mortgages. There were no County held
first mortgage short sales during this period. A total of $326,898.58 was
received by the County during this five year period. The housing market
has improved with home prices increasing by 64%, from $193,000 to $300,000,
over the past four years. Additionally, since the policy was approved, the
number of days on the housing market has decreased from over 180 to less than
30 days. Due to these significant changes in the housing market, staff is
recommending changes to the policy. These changes include: (1)
incorporate DES’s Neighborhood Stabilization (NSP 1, 2 and 3), Universal
Housing Trust, and Community Development Block Grant housing assistance
programs; (2) increase the required homeowner repayment to $10,000 or 50
percent (50%) of the remaining balance owed on the County’s second mortgages;
and (3) add an administrative fee of $1,500 to cover staff processing costs.
These funds will be returned to the respective funding sources from which
homeowners were assisted and will be reused for eligible uses as permitted by
the funding sources. No County funds will be utilized for these programs.

Retroactive consent for the receipt of State Housing Initiatives Partnership
(SHIP) Program funds by Theophilus Barry, a Palm Beach County employee, under
the Countywide Emergency Rehabilitation Program as administered by the
Department of Economic Sustainability (DES).
Summary: Theophilus
Barry is an income eligible applicant who has received a grant of $19,244 under
the Countywide Emergency Rehabilitation Program. Funding availability for
the Program was posted on the DES website and advertised to the general public
in the Palm Beach Post on December 3 and 7, 2014. Applicants under this
Program are funded on a continuous basis first qualified, first approved (first
come, first qualified, first completed) as long as funds are available.
Mr. Barry, who applied for assistance on March 3, 2015, has been employed by
the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department as an Air Quality Technician
since 2006 and his gross annual salary is $38,742. He applied for funding
to repair the roof of his home at 11658 Turnstone Drive in Wellington.
The appraised value of the home according to the Palm Beach County Property
Appraiser is $169,588. The total project cost is $19,244 which is less
than the maximum $20,000 SHIP assistance available to homeowners under the
Countywide Emergency Rehabilitation Program. Approval of this consent is
being retroactively requested because the applicant has already been
funded. Staff proceeded with the repairs due to the urgent need to
address the deteriorated conditions found at the applicant’s home. To
date, in Fiscal Year 2014-2015, DES has awarded funding to a total of 28
persons. Out of this total, five were County employees or relatives of
County employees. These are State SHIP funds which require no local match.

and Rule Chapter 67-37, Florida Administrative Code; and authorizing the
submission of the revised Local Housing Assistance Plan for review and approval
by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). SUMMARY: The LHAP was approved by the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on April 16, 2013 (R2013-0488) and
allocated a total of $11,372,887 over the three year period. On June 18,
2015, the Department of Economic Sustainability was advised by FHFC that the LHAP
needed revisions to incorporate new State regulations. The proposed
revisions include two newly approved housing strategies: the Roof
Replacement/Repair Program and the Veterans Home Ownership and Preservation
Program as approved by the BCC on October 21, 2014 (Agenda Item 3I-1) and
December 16, 2014 (R2014-1924), respectively. Other revisions include an
increased Emergency Repair maximum amount from $20,000 to $38,000 due to
increased construction costs, inclusion of project delivery costs, and a 20% contingency
set aside for repair projects to be held until project completion. The
LHAP’s housing strategies must coincide with the expenditures for the years
reported and are required by FHFC to complete the SHIP Annual Closeout
Reports. Funds allocated and generated through the SHIP Program will
implement various affordable housing programs and related activities. The
SHIP regulations require that at least sixty-five percent (65%) of a local
jurisdiction’s allocation be earmarked toward homeownership activities. These

with E-Z-Go Division of Textron, Inc., for the lease/purchase of 410 fleet golf
carts for use at various Palm Beach County golf courses for $1,164,633.60 of
which $1,014,633.60 will be financed through PNC Equipment Finance, LLC, and
the remaining $150,000 is allocated for the purchase of golf cart replacement parts
on an as-needed basis;
B) approve a Master Equipment Lease-Purchase Agreement, Lease Schedule, and Payment
Schedule with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC, for the financing of the

C) authorize the County Administrator or her designee to execute
the Final Receipt Certificate notifying PNC Equipment Finance, LLC, that the
County has received and accepted the golf cart fleet and the date that payments
will commence.
SUMMARY: A competitive Request for Proposals (RFP)
for the lease purchase of golf carts (RFP No. 15-037R/LJ) was issued on April
9, 2015, through the County's Purchasing Department. The RFP contemplated that manufacturers may
utilize a third party to provide for the financing of the agreement as is
common golf industry practice. E-Z-Go
Division of Textron, Inc. was the recommended awardee of the RFP selection
committee. PNC Equipment Finance, LLC,
is the third party finance company utilized by E-Z-Go Division of Textron,
Inc. The agreement, master lease, and
associated documents are for the lease/purchase of 410 golf carts; the trade-in
of 351 fleet carts from 2010; and the provision of timely warranty repairs and
replacement parts for carts located at Okeeheelee Golf Course, Osprey Point
Golf Course, Southwinds Golf Course, and Park Ridge Golf Course. The County's standard indemnification
language is in the contract which E-Z-Go has executed, however; E-Z-Go has some
limited liability language in their warranty which may reduce their liability
if there was a failure in a golf cart or battery charger that caused an
injury. In the unlikely event of a
default by the County, the County will pay PNC’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses and any costs related to the repossession, safekeeping, storage,
repair, reconditioning or disposition of the golf carts. Awardee is located out
of State. The RFP process allowed up to
ten points for SBE participation. No

recommends motion to:
A)
adopt a Resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,

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 Program in the form of a cash grant in an

B)
conceptually approve an Economic Development Incentive for Project
Darwin in the amount of $160,000 in the form of a cash grant as a portion of
the local match for a State QTI Grant.
Summary: Project Darwin is considering a site in the municipality of Boca Raton
for the build out location of its new manufacturing
facility which will include a $28 Million capital investment for the
construction of a 150,000 120,000 sq. ft. facility and create 160
new full-time jobs over a four year period at an average annual salary and a
median salary of $64,356 and $58,000, respectively. The company will be required to maintain the
existing 57 jobs for a period of five years from the effective date of the
Economic Development Incentive Agreement and will be required to maintain the
new jobs for a period of five years from the date the jobs are created. It is anticipated that the State of Florida
will provide $800,000 in the form of a Qualified Target Industry tax refund
which requires a 20% local match of $160,000.
The County will provide the local match for the QTI. The State is also expected to provide $400,000
$500,000 in the form of a Quick Action Closing Fund. The
local match for the Quick Action Closing Fund of $160,000 $200,000
will be provided by the City of Boca Raton. The company will be required to enter into a
formal agreement memorializing their commitments and establishing criteria for
funding distribution which will be presented to the Board of County

recommends motion to conceptually approve: an Economic Development Incentive for
Project Tiger in the form of an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption over ten years, in an
amount not to exceed $850,000. SUMMARY: Project Tiger is considering a
site in the unincorporated Glades region of Palm Beach County for the location
of its new manufacturing facility that plans to make a $40 Million capital
investment for the construction of a 250,000 90,000 sq. ft.
plant. The project will create 71 new full-time jobs over a five year period at
an average annual wage of $50,000 excluding executive salaries and
benefits. The company will be required to maintain the new jobs for a period
of five years from the date each job is created. The State of Louisiana
is also competing for this project. The State has not made a determination on
incentives for this project. The incentive recommendation is based on the fact
that the project will be located in the Glades region of Palm Beach County
where dire economic conditions persist with poverty rates exceeding 30% and
unemployment rates exceeding 20% in census tracts (approximately double and
quadruple the national averages respectively). The company will be
required to enter into a formal agreement approved by the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) memorializing their commitments and establishing criteria
for funding distribution. At such time the company name will be

On July 21, 2009 (R2009-1211), the Board entered into a Sublease with Huttig
Building Products (Huttig) for 76,603 sf of warehouse and office space for the
SOE. The term of the Sublease (and Huttig’s Lease with RREEF) will expire on
June 21, 2016 and there are no extension options remaining. The SOE desires to make arrangements for
extension of this Lease at this time in order to avoid conducting negotiations
or being forced to relocate during the preparation time for elections. In addition, RREEF has received requests from
other tenants in the complex for expansion space which would require the space
occupied by the SOE. This Lease will
continue SOE’s occupancy for five years through 2021 and provides one option to
extend for two years. The annual rent is
$497,919.50 ($6.50/sf), which represents a (19%) increase over the existing
rent, and will increase by 3% annually.
SOE is also responsible to pay a prorata share of taxes and expenses for
the leased premises. The 2016 estimated prorata share cost is $178,485 per year
($2.33/sf). Staff researched rental
rates for comparable space and believes that the rental rate for this new Lease
is at market. The prior sublease was negotiated during the recession and was
below market rates. Extending this Lease
will avoid disruption of the SOE’s operations during an election cycle. Staff continues to recommend that the County
and SOE explore options to construct a County owned facility for the SOE with a
targeted completion date of 2022.
Extension of this Lease will provide time to explore options. (PREM) Countywide

recommends motion to direct: Staff to take all action necessary to
terminate the Governmental Center Lease Agreement with LJL Food Management,
Inc., d/b/a Tina’s Café (R2002-0829). SUMMARY: LJL Food Management, Inc., d/b/a Tina’s Café
has been the food service provider operating in Suite 110 of the Governmental
Center Parking Garage since 2005. In
response to the economic downturn and Tina’s poor payment history, rent was
reduced by 20% in 2009 and by another 50% in 2010 for a period of two
years. On December 18, 2012, the Board
approved a Third Amendment (R2012-1941) which continued the reduced half-rent
rate retroactively from January 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013. On June 4, 2013, the Board approved a Fourth
Amendment (R2013-0711) which continued the reduced half-rent rate to April 30,
2014. At that time, Tina’s Café
continued to be delinquent with payment of rent, and owed nine months’ rent
($12,450.78). Staff met several times
with Tina’s to discuss the rent delinquencies, but in each instance Tina’s
believed they could bring the rent current and proposed to keep the rent at the
current reduced rate and pay the back rent in one additional installment per
month. The Fifth Amendment (R2014-1092)
documented Tina’s proposed approach, deleted the annual four percent (4%) rent
adjustments and continued the $16,601/yr reduced half-rent rate to the January
31, 2019, expiration of the Lease.
Tina’s currently remains delinquent in rent, owing for nine months
(January 2015 to September 2015) totaling $12,450.78. Compounding Tina’s troubles, the West Palm
Beach Fire Department recently notified Tina’s that their fire suppression
system was outdated and also required a fire alarm notification system. Staff worked with Tina’s and the Fire
Department to coordinate efforts to address these code violations. Tina’s contracted to obtain an updated fire
suppression system but installation has not yet occurred, and has yet to
contract for an alarm notification system.
Tina’s has provided the cost information referenced in Attachment 2 (to
the Agenda Item) relating to the fire suppression system and alarm notification
system. These costs will total
approximately $9,700, and Staff does not believe there is any way that Tina’s
will be able to pay both the fire system improvements and the outstanding
balance of rent. As Tina’s has struggled
for years to make a go of it, Staff recommends that the Lease be terminated and
past due rent be waived in exchange for Tina’s agreeing to surrender the Premises
without legal action. There is a current
need for this space to accommodate other County functions. (PREM) Countywide

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
adopting a Responding Resolution authorizing Palm Beach County, Florida, to
commence the negotiation process for an Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement
between Palm Beach County and the City of Delray Beach, pursuant to Chapter
171, Part II, Florida Statutes; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: On August 11, 2015, the
City of Delray Beach adopted an Initiating Resolution No. 43-15 pursuant to
Chapter 171, Part II, Florida Statutes (F.S.), as a first step in the process
of completing an Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement (ISBA) for a designated area outside of the boundaries of the City. Pursuant to Chapter 171.203(2), F.S., the County shall adopt a Responding Resolution within 60 days after
the receipt of an Initiating Resolution.
Exhibit A of the
Initiating Resolution identifies the unincorporated area for discussion,
located within the City's future annexation area. Both Resolutions provide
options that may be negotiated during the process, including service providers
and boundary adjustments. The ISBA was established in the F.S. to
encourage local governments to coordinate service delivery and plan for boundary
adjustments. By adopting the
Responding Resolution, the negotiations can begin; however, the County is not
obligated to enter into an interlocal agreement. Additionally, the Responding
Resolution does not annex any property at this time. Planning staff will work closely with other County departments and City staff following the
adoption of the Responding Resolution to develop an interlocal agreement, which
will be presented to the Board at a later date. District 4 (RB)

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing and replacing Resolution No. R2014-1221 and
enacting a new schedule of fees and fines for the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance. SUMMARY: This
Resolution provides for adoption of an updated fee and fine schedule in
accordance with the provisions of the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance, Palm Beach
County Code, Chapter 19, Article IX. The
update is necessary to implement Ordinance changes scheduled for adoption on
September 22, 2015 and to incorporate fees for all vehicle for hire companies. A summary of the changes to the existing
schedule of fees and fines imposed by the Division of Consumer Affairs is
attached to the agenda item. This agenda item will repeal Resolution 2014-1221. On September 10, 2015, the proposed schedule

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Potable
Water Supply Agreement with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). Summary:
The County and FPL were parties to a Temporary
Bulk Potable Water Agreement (Agreement) (R2007-1028) to serve their Western
Energy Center that expired on July 1, 2014.
As the parties negotiated a new permanent agreement, the County has allowed
FPL to operate under the terms of the existing Agreement. Under the previous Agreement, FPL was
authorized to receive up to 3.2 million gallons daily (MGD) of potable water as
a bulk customer. Upon re-examination of
FPL’s water usage, the Water Utilities Department (WUD) has reclassified FPL
from a bulk customer to a retail customer with specialized circumstances. As a result, WUD is proposing to transition
from the bulk commodity rate in the previous Agreement to a retail rate with
credits for FPL having low peak demand, onsite storage, and fire suppression
capability. The new retail agreement authorizes FPL to take up to one MGD of
potable water. FPL's effective commodity
rate for the new agreement is $2.53 per 1,000 gallons of potable water, to be
indexed annually by 75% of the Consumer Price Index for Water and Wastewater
Maintenance. Additionally, FPL will pay
a fee of $5.12 Million for one MGD of permanent capacity over a 20 year period
at 3.6% interest. If FPL's Average
Annual Daily Flow (AADF) exceeds one MGD for two consecutive fiscal years, FPL
will be required to purchase for additional capacity. The Agreement is
effective for a term of 25 years, with the possibility of renewal by mutual
agreement for an additional five years. District 6 (MJ)
G. WESTGATE/BELVEDERE HOMES COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida
approving the Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Agency’s (CRA)
Fiscal Year 2016 Budget for its Redevelopment Trust (operating) Fund,
Construction Fund, Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund. Summary: The Budget, in the amount of $4,579,776, is composed of four components.
The first component, the Redevelopment Trust Fund, in the amount of $1,942,504,
consists of the CRA’s Annual Tax Increment Financing and balance brought
forward from previous years. The second component, the Construction Fund, in the
amount of $2,107,000, consists of balances of reimbursable grants awarded to
the CRA by County, State, and Federal governments for construction activities.
The third component is the Sinking Fund, in the amount of $262,210, which
consists of one annual payment from Tax Increment Financing revenues to repay
the revenue bond reissued in 1999 to retrofit infrastructure in the Westgate
area. The last component is the Reserve Fund, in the amount of $268,062, which
consists of a one year security payment (principal and interest), held in
escrow for the March 1, 1999 Redevelopment Revenue Refunding Bonds in the
amount of $3,380,000. In accordance with
the CRA’s Interlocal Agreement with Palm Beach County, Tax Increment Financing
revenues will be used for: 1) obligations to Florida Power & Light for
street lighting; 2) interest and
principal payments due under the $3.38 Million bond issue; and 3) CRA
operations and other projects. The 2016 Budget shows an increase of eight
percent (8%) from last year’s budget. Districts 2 & 7 (RB)

H. ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) conceptually approve a $300,000 Brownfield Loan and a $50,000 Brownfield
Grant with the West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (WPBCRA) for the
cleanup of 2401 Broadway in West Palm Beach; and
B) authorize the County Administrator or her designee to
execute a new loan agreement, mortgage, promissory note, and all other
documents necessary for the transaction.
Summary: On January 14, 2014, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) received and filed a Cooperative Agreement (R2014-0058)
with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the receipt of $1 Million
for the Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund (BRLF) Program. The Cooperative Agreement allows for 70% of
the $1 Million to be in the form of loans and 30% to be in the form of grants. The $350,000 from the BRLF will provide
environmental cleanup assistance for the City-owned Brownfield redevelopment
site located at 2401 Broadway in West Palm Beach in the Northwood/Pleasant City
Community Redevelopment Area. The
cleanup site is part of an assemblage of land on the western boundary of Northwood
Village generally referred to as the Anchor Site comprising approximately three
acres. At a WPBCRA meeting on May 26,
2015, Resolution No. 15-26 was approved authorizing the cleanup of the Anchor
Site and the application to Palm Beach County for funding for this purpose from
the County’s BRLF Program. Total cleanup
costs are estimated at $350,000. The WPBCRA
is actively working to promote the redevelopment and sale of the site. Conceptually, the development of the
Northwood Anchor Site will be a mixed-use project consisting of three midrise
buildings, including ground-level retail, residences, public plaza and a Florida
East Coast railway train station. The WPBCRA
estimates that the redevelopment project will create 75 to 100 new jobs and
provide an estimated annual payroll of $3.5 Million. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the
WPBCRA will utilize the funds to undertake the remediation work within 12
months of the date of the loan agreement and will abide by all prescribed EPA
terms and conditions. On August 27, 2015,
the County’s Loan Review Committee recommended approval of the loan. The WPBCRA
will provide in-kind services valued up to $70,000 as the required local match. These are federal EPA funds which require
a 20% local match which will be provided by the West Palm Beach Community
Redevelopment Agency. No County local match is required. (DES Administration) District 7
