SUMMARY: Approval of the Agreements and the Budget
Amendment will allow for the purchase and installation of ATCS equipment for

Turnpike Interchange. The ATCS
deployment is expected to dynamically adjust signal timing with fluctuations in
traffic demand and also improve the overall progression through the traffic

amount not to exceed $132,000. Agreement
B, Financial Management Number 436318-1-58-01, is for the installation and
construction of the three ATCS in an amount not to exceed $160,000. FDOT will provide the engineering design and
the Consulting Engineering Inspection oversight for the Project. Once the ATCS are deployed, the County will

components. District 5 (MRE)

ATTORNEY
1. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: the
official transcript for the closing of the Palm Beach County, Florida,
$65,360,000 Public Improvement Revenue Bonds (Professional Sports Franchise
Facility Project) Taxable Series 2015C, $56,645,000 Public Improvement Revenue
Bonds (Professional Sports Franchise Facility Project) Tax-Exempt Series 2015D
(the “Bonds”). SUMMARY: The official transcript for the Bonds has been provided. This transcript should now be received and
filed in the Minutes Department. Countywide (PFK)
2. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing
the County Administrator or designee (the Fire-Rescue Administrator) to reject
settlement offers in personal injury protection insurance claim lawsuits filed
on the County’s behalf against insurers; providing for effectiveness. SUMMARY: Since April 1, 2015, the County has
contracted with an outside law firm to provide legal services to the County
relating to personal injury protection (PIP) insurance claims for auto-related
Fire-Rescue emergency transport services. These legal services include
representation of, and expert advice to, the County in lawsuits filed on the
County’s behalf against insurers to recover PIP insurance benefits due to the
County from its provision of Fire-Rescue emergency transport services. Given the large volume of such actions and
the need for an expeditious response to settlement offers made by insurers, the
process of rejecting settlement offers may be implemented more effectively and
expeditiously by delegating to the County Administrator or designee (the
Fire-Rescue Administrator) the authority to reject such settlement offers,
provided that the settlement offer is for an amount less than the full value of
the County’s claim and that rejection of the settlement offer is recommended by
the County’s PIP attorney. Should the
PIP attorney recommend acceptance of a settlement offer, review and approval of
such will be processed in accordance with existing County procedures. Countywide (SGB)
3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Full and final settlement and release of all claims
related to the structural property damage caused to the home owned by Jose
Ginsberg and Jean Despagne for a sum of $51,593. SUMMARY: On March 12, 2015, a Palm Tran bus operator
had a medical episode causing him to lose control of the bus and strike a home
that is owned by the claimants. After
much negotiation, Risk Management and their adjusters have arrived at a settlement
which is reasonable and serves the best interest of Palm Beach County. Countywide

the overall grant award of $245,519. This receive and file is being submitted in accordance with

motion to:
A) approve a Letter of Release (Release Letter) from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), releasing approximately 4,933.27 square feet (0.113
acres) of land (Turn Lane) located north of the Palm Beach International
Airport (Airport) from federal grant assurance requirements, subject to
conditions imposed by the FAA in the Release Letter; and
B) approve a Declaration of Easements, Covenants and
Restrictions (Declaration) imposing certain easements, covenants and
restrictions on the Turn Lane; and
C) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida (Bond Resolution); determining the Turn Lane is not necessary for
airport purposes and that disposition of the property shall not impair the
operating efficiency or reduce the revenue producing capability of the County’s
Airport System; and
D) approve a Deed of Release from the FAA (Deed of Release), releasing deed
restrictions from the Turn Lane imposed in that certain deed from the United
States of America dated March 22, 1961 (the USA Deed); and
E) approve a Subordination of Utility Interests and Agreement for Reimbursement
for Additional Facility Relocations (Subordination) with Florida Power and
Light Company (FPL) providing for subordination of FPL’s easement interest in
the Turn Lane, and for County’s reimbursement of costs incurred by FPL in the
event County requires its utilities to be relocated from the Turn Lane in the
future; and
F) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida (Right-of-Way Resolution); designating the Turn Lane for use by the
general public for public street purposes, subject to the Declaration.
SUMMARY: On March 12, 2013, the Board
approved the Development Site Lease Agreement (R2013-0257) (Lease) with West
Palm Beach Plaza, LLC (WPB Plaza), for the development of an on-airport travel
plaza at the southwest corner of Belvedere and Florida Mango Roads, which
includes a gas station, convenience store, car wash, food service facilities,
and related amenities (Plaza). The Plaza
is anticipated to open by summer 2016.
As a condition of approval for the Plaza development, a right turn lane
from eastbound Belvedere Road is needed.
The Release Letter releases the Turn Lane from terms, conditions and
obligations of FAA grant assurances. The
Declaration imposes certain easements, covenants and restrictions as required
in the Release Letter, and will be recorded in the public records. The Bond Resolution is required in order that
the property may be used for non-airport purposes and documents that the Turn
Lane is released from the Airport System Revenue Bond Resolution (R-84-427)
requirements. The Deed of Release releases
the Turn Lane from the USA Deed, and the Right-of-Way Resolution designates the
Turn Lane for use by the general public for public street purposes, subject to
the Declaration. The Subordination
subordinates FPL’s existing easement interest to the road right-of-way. Countywide

motion to receive and file: notice of exercise of the seventh option to
extend the term of the Lease Agreement with Theodore W. Winsberg and Gertrude
K. Winsberg (R99-842D) for one year for rent of $1/yr. SUMMARY: In 1996, the County purchased 175 acres of
property from the Winsbergs for the development of the Water Utilities
Department’s Green Cay Wetlands Water Reclamation project. The property is located off Hagen Ranch Road
between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue. The Board approved the original Lease
Agreement in May of 1999 (R99-842D), which allowed the Winsbergs to continue to
farm the property until the Water Utilities Department (WUD) was ready to
construct its project. Over time, as WUD
constructed phases of the Water Reclamation Project, the area leased to the
Winsbergs was reduced and the Winsbergs currently lease approximately 60
acres. The next phase of the Water
Reclamation Project is not expected to be implemented within the next four years. In April of 2008, the Board approved the
Fourth Amendment (R2008-0629) which extended the term of the Lease Agreement
through May 1, 2010, and provided the Winsbergs with ten additional one-year
options to extend for one year each.
Exercising this seventh extension option will extend the term of the
Lease Agreement through May 1, 2017. The
Winsbergs have the right to exercise their option to extend and the Board has
no discretionary authority to not allow the exercise of the option. The County will continue to have the right to
terminate this Lease upon 120 days notice.
The annual rental rate for this extension will continue to be
$1/yr. Three one-year extension options
remain available to the Winsbergs. WUD supports the extension and will continue
to have administrative responsibility for this Lease. All other terms of the Lease Agreement remain
in full force and effect. (PREM) District

the request of the SEIU, Palm Tran commenced negotiations in October 2014 for
the purpose of negotiating terms and conditions of employment for 40 Palm Tran
employees (30 Operations Supervisors, 10 Maintenance Supervisors). On January 21, 2016, Palm Tran and SEIU
tentatively agreed to the terms and conditions of the LMA. The LOU and LMA were ratified by the SEIU on
March 24, 2016. Of the 40 Articles
included in the LMA, 24 were amended during the negotiation process. In general, changes to non-economic work rules
will allow for increased efficiency and effectiveness of operations. Other
changes include: eliminating the overtime rotation, thereby
increasing efficiency, and streamlining the process; eliminating the uniform
stipend in exchange for providing uniforms to employees; and establishing a
formal instructor training program with a specified hourly rate. The amended wage article includes a 4% hourly

On April 5, 2016, the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) held a preliminary reading of the amended Vehicle
for Hire Ordinance. At that meeting, the
BCC concurred with the staff recommended changes and directed staff to include
provisions allowing any vehicle for hire driver the option of getting a level
II background check through the Division of Consumer Affairs and, upon
approval, be issued a Palm Beach County badge. The Board also directed that fee
reductions be provided to incentivize level II background checking and ID
issuance by the Department of Consumer Affairs. The revised ordinance
recommended for adoption and a modified fee schedule being presented in a
separate agenda item accomplish the Board direction. The proposed ordinance: 1) applies to the unincorporated and incorporated areas of Palm
Beach County; 2) groups industry
into two categories taxis and non-taxis; 3)
modifies vehicle identification requirements to allow for vehicle trade dress
or Division of Consumers Affairs (DCA) issued decal; 4) modifies insurance language to require policies in accordance
with Florida Law; 5) allows
alternative identification (i.e. digital platform) or an ID badge to be issued
by the DCA; 6) allows all vehicle
for hire companies to conduct their own comprehensive nationwide background
checks through an accredited agency or the DCA can conduct a Level 2 background
check for any driver; and 7) allows
the DCA to conduct bi-annual audits of records maintained by all vehicle for
hire companies. Countywide (JB)

A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County
Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida approving the CareerSource Palm
Beach County (CSPBC) Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Budget in the amount of $13,900,114
for its programs under Public Law 113-128, enacted by Congress effective July
1, 2015 which Act is known as the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014;
B) approve a waiver from the Statutory Individual
Training Account (ITA) requirement; and
C) approve First Amendment to the Contract to
Administer Grant Funds with CSPBC.
Summary: On
December 16, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Contract to
Administer Grant Funds (Contract) (R2014-1894) with CareerSource Palm Beach
County (CSPBC) which services include the design, coordination, and
implementation of the local workforce development system for Palm Beach County.
CSPBC receives Federal funding through the State Department of Economic
Opportunity (DEO). Funds are received by
the DEO from the U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Health &
Human Services, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These are formula funds
which are based on the Federal budget and the local population statistics. Article
2 of the Contract provides that the Contract is automatically renewed unless
the County gives written notice to CSPBC of non-renewal at least 120 days prior
to the July 1 annual renewal date. The First Amendment makes certain changes to
language of the contract to bring the language current with County
requirements. The Fiscal Year 2016-2017
Budget, in the amount of $13,900,114, includes the following revenue sources: $10,684,282
from the U.S. Department of Labor; $2,504,100 from the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families;
$503,400 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program; and $208,332 from Palm Beach State College. CSPBC is requesting a waiver of the statutory
Individual Training Account requirement from CareerSource Florida. Approval for
a waiver is necessary to ensure that overall services to participants are not
reduced. The DEO requires at least 50%
of the Adult and Dislocated WIOA funds to be spent on individual training
activities. Due to continued decrease in funding, CSPBC is concerned that the
50% criteria may not be met and as a result is requesting a waiver from the
requirement. Although a waiver will be sought, CSPBC will strive to meet the
50% requirement. The Budget and request for Training Waiver was approved by the
CareerSource Board of Directors on February 25, 2016 and was approved by the
Consortium on March 30, 2016. Countywide (HH)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Amendment No. 8 to Contract for Provision of Services with
Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc. (R2012-0613), for the period October
1, 2015, through September 30, 2016, to increase funding for hotel placement to
homeless families by $200,000 for a new contract amount of $1,519,099, with a
total contract amount not to exceed $5,683,809; and
B) Budget Transfer of $200,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserve to
the Human Services Division to increase program funding.
Summary: The Senator Philip D. Lewis
Center (Lewis Center) serves as the main point of access for homeless services
in Palm Beach County. Adopt-A-Family of
the Palm Beaches, Inc. (Adopt-A-Family) provides family engagement, temporary
hotel placement, rapid re-housing placement, ongoing support and navigation at
the Lewis Center. To date, 74 families
(102 adults & 164 children) with the highest acuities and the greatest
number of barriers have been provided hotel placement. The scarcity of affordable housing and the
barriers families are encountering has lengthened the time from hotel placement
to permanent housing. Adopt-A-Family has
expended the entirety of the $123,583 in hotel funding (in four months). The Budget Transfer will fund the increased
service need. (Human Services) Countywide

SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of
Palm Beach County, Florida approving the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP)
as required by the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program Act,
Subsections 420.907 - 420.9079, Florida Statutes, and Rule Chapter 67-37,
Florida Administrative Code; authorizing and directing the County Administrator
to execute any necessary documents and certifications needed by the State;
authorizing the submission of the LHAP for review and approval by the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC); and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County has
participated in the SHIP Program since 1993. The State requires that Palm
Beach County submit a LHAP to FHFC every three years. The proposed LHAP,
which is due May 2, 2016, covers Fiscal Years 2016-2017, 2017-2018, and
2018-2019. The State currently revised the LHAP template and directed entities
to concentrate on the primary goals of the governing body. Due to the
success of the County’s strategies to protect, preserve and increase the
County’s affordable housing stock, no substantive changes are being
recommended. The LHAP reflects the new eligible income levels up to 140% area
median income. The changes in State SHIP income levels to 140% align the
County’s affordable housing and workforce housing goals. The LHAP includes the
following strategies: purchase assistance, first mortgage loans, housing
rehabilitation, emergency repairs, replacement housing, disaster mitigation,
foreclosure prevention, rapid rental housing entry assistance, developer
assistance rental housing, and veterans homeownership and preservation
program. The Veteran’s Homeownership and Preservation Program was
modified to increase eligible income levels from 0-80% to 0-140% area median
income. These are State SHIP funds which require no local match. Countywide
(JB)
2. DELETED:
Staff recommends motion to conceptually approve: the conveyance of the County’s interest in 18
single family lots (in the Brook’s Subdivision) to Habitat for Humanity of Palm
Beach County, Inc. (Habitat), in partnership with Riviera Beach Community
Development Corporation, Inc. and Habitat Housing Solutions, Inc., without
charge and with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights
of entry and exploration. Summary: On September 9, 2008, the
Board of County Commissioners approved a Conditional Grant Agreement with Brook’s
Subdivision, LLC (Brook’s) which provided $700,000 in State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funding for
site/property acquisition ($600,000) and construction costs ($100,000) for 18
single family homes that were to be sold to very low, low, and moderate income
households. The default provisions of
the Conditional Grant Agreement required the 18 SHIP assisted homes to be built
and sold to eligible homebuyers by December 31, 2010. Brook’s failed to construct any of the homes.
On February 7, 2014, the County
initiated action to foreclose on the property. The Final Judgment of Foreclosure was entered
by the Court on February 11, 2016. A
site plan approval has been obtained from the City of Riviera Beach and supporting
infrastructure including water, sewer, lighting and roadways is substantially
complete. Habitat has agreed to raise
100% of the construction costs to build 18 homes, submit for building permits
within six months of transfer and complete all units and have them occupied
within 30 months of transfer. Under the
Habitat model, all units will remain affordable for income ranges between 30%
and 80% of the average median income. The
County has had long term success with Habitat on projects such as Westgate
Village, Kennedy Estates I and Kennedy Estates II. Habitat’s affiliate developer, Habitat Housing
Solutions, Inc., and the Riviera Beach Community Development Corp., Inc. are County/DES
certified Community Housing Development Organizations. Staff is recommending approval based on the fact that the
partnership will help strengthen the local economy, increase homeownership and
play a role in helping to relieve the County’s shortage of affordable housing
options. This disposition must be
approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). District 7 (JB)
