(211) (R2013-1390), for the period October 1, 2015, through September 30, 2016, to change the unit cost and unit cost definition for the Elder Outreach Program. Summary: This amendment is necessary to incorporate changes to the Exhibit B-2 Units of Service Definition of the agreement.  The requested changes only affect the cost unit definition and cost unit amount and will not change the total amount of the amendment or services delivered to the clients, but will ease the administrative strain that occurs when tracking individual client interactions per the previous unit definition. The new unit cost of $22. covers direct client services as compared to the previous unit cost of $42.32 which included indirect client services  in addition to referral, service linkage and advocacy. The Agency interacts with many clients per day and approving this change will allow for more time to focus on client related matters. The annual contract allocation remains at $37,988.

SUMMARY:  This Budget Amendment establishes the project budget for the County to purchase and install modular furniture for the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) Human Resources, Risk Management and Central Records Units at Airport Center 2 building. While all of these equipment purchases are the responsibility of the County, historically the Board has placed the funds needed for the purchase of non-fixed equipment in the Sheriff’s budget so that PBSO is responsible for the ordering, tracking, maintenance renewal and replacement of such items. Fixed equipment is purchased, tracked and maintained by FDO. PBSO and County Staffs have determined that it is in the best interests of both parties to have the procurement of the modular furniture undertaken by the County to ensure the proper coordination between the specifications and construction preparation and in terms of installation and delivery. At the completion of construction, Staff is recommending that all assets purchased from this funding be transferred to the Sheriff for tracking, maintenance and renewal/replacement.

A) conceptually approve Neighborhood Renaissance, Inc. (NRI) to sell up to 20 homes assisted through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) and to utilize program income from those sales to develop the Mango Cove Apartments; and

 

B) authorize the County Administrator or designee, to negotiate and execute a funding agreement, amendments thereto, and all other documents necessary for the transaction with NRI.

 

Summary: On May 5, 2011, Palm Beach County entered into Agreement R2011-1029 providing $12,131,968.07 in Federal NSP2 funding to NRI for the acquisition and rehabilitation of 70 foreclosed homes for rental to low, moderate, and middle income households. NRI successfully met all requirements under the Agreement.  On December 21, 2015, NRI requested that the County allow it to sell up to 20 of the NSP2 middle-income units, and to use the program income from those sales to develop a 36 unit multi-family rental complex to be known as Mango Cove Apartments (the Project).  The NSP2 units will be sold to home buyers with incomes no more than 120% of Area Median Income (AMI) and will bear NSP2 affordability restrictions for 30 years.  The Project will be located on an unincorporated vacant property at 1561-1589 Florida Mango Road in West Palm Beach. On April 7, 2016, the Project received Conditions of Approval for a zoning variance, and the Project site plan is currently awaiting certification after being presented to the Development Review Officer on April 13, 2016.  Total development cost of the Project is $6.4 Million.  Program income to be generated by the sale of the NSP2 units is estimated at $2,925,000 and would be utilized for construction costs and other eligible development costs in order to make rental rates affordable.  NRI has secured a commitment for first mortgage financing of $3.12 Million from the Florida Community Loan Fund, and remaining Project financing would come from grants raised to date and a deferred developer fee.  All apartments will be leased to households whose incomes are no more than 120% of AMI at rents not to exceed HUD Fair Market Rents.  NSP2 affordability requirements will be secured by an encumbrance on the property for 30 years. NSP2 program income funding has no matching requirement. District 2 (JB)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a Partial Release of a Utility Easement over property owned by Hedrick 33, LLC and encumbered by an exclusive Easement Deed to Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD).  SUmmary: On April 13, 2015, Dave R. Hedrick and Cathleen T. Burk, the predecessors in interest to Hedrick 33, LLC, granted the County a Utility Easement (OR BK 27498 PG 243-247) for a future utility pipe installation to serve a proposed commercial site. A review of the preliminary plat for the encumbered property revealed an encroachment of the County Utility Easement into an exclusive LWDD easement (OR BK 4577 PG 1921). The LWDD Easement Deed grants LWDD has the authority to permit utility installations in their easement. LWDD confirmed that, following the release of the encroaching portion of the County Utility Easement, it will process a Utility Permit application for the proposed pipe installation. Water Utilities Department staff recommends the partial release of that portion of the Utility Easement that encroaches into the LWDD easement. The remaining portion of the Utility Easement will provide for adequate protection and access to future County facilities. District 3 (MJ)

Summary: The Board of County Commissioners approved Contracts B through J for Engineering/Consulting Services on June 3, 2014 and Contract A Black & Veatch Corporation on January 14, 2014.  The Water Utilities Department discovered an ambiguity in the contract documents relating to mark ups on sub-consultants contracts by the prime consultant. County procurement policies provide that a prime consultant may receive up to a 10% mark-up on services provided by sub-consultants when the services are to be provided by a sub-consultant that was not part of the original design team proposed to the County and the services were not required in the original scope of work.  The Contracts were unclear regarding the applicability of this provision which created a conflict between Contracts and approved Procurement policies.  Amendment No. 1 to the Contracts corrects this ambiguity and conforms the Contracts to approved procurement policies.  No additional changes are being made to the Contracts as a result of Amendment No. 1.

4.         PUBLIC HEARINGS – 9:30 A.M. (Motion to receive and file: Proof of publication)

 

 

A.        REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to adopt: an Ordinance imposing a countywide local government infrastructure surtax of one percent (1.0%) on all authorized taxable transactions occurring within Palm Beach County, as authorized by Section 212.055(2), Florida Statutes, effective beginning January 1, 2017, for a period of ten years; providing that imposition of the surtax shall be contingent on approval at a countywide referendum; providing for distribution of surtax revenues among the county, the municipalities in the county, and the School Board of Palm Beach County, Florida; providing for citizen oversight; providing ballot language and directing the Supervisor of Elections to hold a countywide precinct referendum election on November 8, 2016. SUMMARY: On May 3, 2016, the Board approved on first reading an infrastructure surtax plan for one cent, maximum 10 years, creation of an oversight committee to audit spending for compliance with approved projects, and the following allocations: 50% to the School District, 30% to the County, and 20% to the Municipalities. The ordinance has also been amended to include an alternate sunset provision that the surtax will end earlier if $2.7 billion is collected before prior to September 1st of any year that the Board agrees to take all necessary action to repeal this Ordinance and notify the Florida Department of Revenue prior to the applicable deadline so that the surtax will not continue for the following calendar year. All funding must be expended as prescribed by Florida Statutes. 

 

This Ordinance for a one-cent infrastructure surtax includes ballot language for a referendum scheduled for November 8, 2016. If approved by the voters, the surtax will begin on January 1, 2017 for ten years, ending on or before December 31, 2026. In addition to creating an oversight committee(s), a project manager will be hired or assigned to coordinate and monitor the program.

 

The local discretionary sales surtaxes apply to all transactions subject to the state tax imposed on sales, use, services, rentals, admissions, and other authorized transactions. The surtax applies to the first $5,000 of any single taxable tangible personal property item. Items such as groceries, baby food, baby formula, and medicines are exempt from sales tax. Levying this surtax will partially shift the funding responsibility to visitors; about 25% of sales tax in Palm Beach County is paid by visitors, as opposed to funding infrastructure backlog through property taxes.

 

Florida’s Department of Revenue (DOR) will distribute the surtax directly to the School District, each Municipality, and the County.

 

An interlocal agreement establishing a distribution formula that would be inclusive of all proposed partners has been approved by the County and the School Board. The Interlocal agreement will need to be approved by the governing bodies of the municipalities representing a majority of the County’s population. Countywide (PFK)

A.        PLANNING, ZONING & BUILDING

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution denying the request to delegate to the Town Council of the Town of Lake Clarke Shores the exercise of all powers and responsibilities conferred on Palm Beach County by the Community Redevelopment Act for the purpose of establishing and operating the Town of Lake Clarke Shores Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).  SUMMARY: The item before the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is to consider the creation of a new CRA at the request of the Town of Lake Clarke Shores within its municipal limits, generally located between Interstate 95 and Florida Mango Road, on the north and south sides of Forest Hill Boulevard. Chapter 163, Part III, F.S., gives the BCC, as the governing body of a charter county, full discretion to approve or deny a request to create a CRA within a municipality.  The Town is seeking a delegation of all powers and responsibilities conferred in Chapter 163, Part III, F.S. including creation of a Redevelopment Trust Fund that utilizes increases in property tax revenues that would otherwise go to the County and other taxing authorizes unless exempt pursuant to the statute. Specifically, the Town is requesting the County to: find that the “blighted area” proposed for the CRA meets the criteria contained in Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes; delegate authority to create a Community Redevelopment agency to the Town; allow the Town to adopt a Community Redevelopment Plan; and authorize the establishment of a Redevelopment Trust Fund. While the Town concluded in the Finding of Necessity report that this area met 5 of the 15 criteria as factors present for blight, staff's assessment is that the conditions in the proposed area do not meet the definition of blight, as defined in Chapter 163.340(8), F.S., since there is no existence of slum and blighted conditions contributing to the spread of disease and crime, contributing to the decrease in tax base, nor substantially impairing or hindering sound growth.
