PAGE ITEM
6 2C-7 ADD-ON: Proclamation declaring June 20-26, 2016 as “Amateur
Radio Week” in Palm Beach County. (Sponsored by Mayor Berger)
30 4C-5 REVISED MOTION/TITLE, SUMMARY &
ADDED BACKUP: Staff recommends motion to: A) authorize the
Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) to prepare a U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded Choice Neighborhoods Implementation
Grants (CNIG) application.; and B) approve a Certification of Consistency with the
Consolidated Plan and a Certification
of Consistency with Sustainable Communities Planning and Implementation
for the Palm Beach County Housing Authority (PBCHA) in connection with their
grant application to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) under the FY2010 Sustainable Communities Regional Planning and HUD-DOT
Challenge Grants. SUMMARY: The focus of this implementation grant
application is the overall revitalization of the Grand Lake Apartments project
located at 2000 South Main Street in Belle Glade and the surrounding
neighborhood. The Choice
Neighborhoods Implementation grantCNIG is designed to address
struggling neighborhoods with distressed public housing, through a
comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation. ……Should HUD approve the
grant, staff will bring a formal Memorandum of Understanding an
agreement between the PBCHA and the County to the Board of County
Commissioners that will provide funding to DES staff for planning and technical
assistance activities. The application will be submitted for the
funding cycle deadline of June 28, 2016. The CNIG application requires a
“Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan”. Palm Beach County’s
current Consolidated Plan, covering the period Fiscal year 2015-2020, was
approved (R2015-049) by the Board of County Commissioners on July 21,
2015. DES has determined that the
proposed CNIG activities are consistent with the goals and objectives outlined
in the Consolidated Plan. Specifically, these goals and objectives include
increasing the supply of affordable housing and improving the quality of
existing affordable rental housing. Therefore, staff recommends the execution
of this certificate. The CNIG application also requires a “Certification of
Consistency with Sustainable Communities Planning and
Implementation”. DES has determined that
the proposed CNIG activities are consistent with the Livability Principles
advanced by communities in the FY 2010 Sustainable Communities Regional
Planning and 2012 HUD-DOT Challenge Grants. Therefore, staff recommends the
execution of this certificate. These are Federal HUD funds which require an in-kind
local match of at least $1,500,000 which will be met through projects funded by
the County in Belle Glade. No additional
County local match is required. District 6 (JB) (DES)
32 4E-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: advance payment in the amount of $35,531
for the Center for Family Services, for operating costs at the Pat Reeves
Village (Family Homeless Shelter). Summary: The Center for Family
Services (CFS) operates the Pat Reeves Village, the only homeless emergency
shelter for homeless families with dependent children in Palm Beach County. On
July 21, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners approved funding in the amount
of $111,014 for the Pat Reeves Village (R2015-1435). This contract has $46,426 dollars remaining
in their current allocation. The advance payment will be made from this
allocation. CFS’s total program budget
for the Pat Reeves Village is $704,580. Fifty percent of their budget is based
on projected donations from donors and foundations. Due to a significant decline
in those donations, CFS is not able to meet payroll or operating costs for the
Pat Reeves Village shelter for the month of June 2016, and as a result, they
were in danger of closing their doors as of May 31, 2016. Closure of the Pat Reeves Village would
displace 19 homeless families currently residing in the facility. This would tax the already overburdened
homeless system and would result in the loss of 19 apartments. CFS requires $35,531 to continue to operate
for a 30 day period. This emergency plan
is more cost effective than relocating 19 homeless families and would not
disrupt the current staffing pattern or families residing at the Pat Reeves
Village. The advance will be in 2
payments. One payment will be made
immediately to allow CFS to meet payroll on June 15, 2016, and the second
payment will be contingent upon an effective transition plan from CFS that
identifies another entity capable of sustaining the emergency shelter
program. County Staff anticipates a new
shelter operator will be in place by July 1, 2016. Countywide (HH)
(Community Services)
36 8G ADD-ON: Request approval to

ATTORNEY
1. Staff
recommends motion to approve: the Stipulated Order of Taking and Final
Judgment as to Parcel 200 in the eminent domain case of Palm Beach County v. Seacoast National Bank, N.A., et al.,
Case No.: 502015CA009287XXXXMB, for settlement in the amount of $372,423,
excluding attorney’s fees and costs. SUMMARY: This case involves the condemnation of
parcel 200, owned by Seacoast National Bank, N.A., to acquire a permanent
drainage easement necessary for the road construction and improvements of Old
Dixie Highway, from Park Avenue North to Northlake Boulevard, in Palm Beach
County. The property owner’s initial
counter offer claim based on its appraisal for the property taken, including
severance damages and cost to cure was $575,000. To reduce the property owner’s
damage claim, the County Engineering Department agreed to certain concessions
in the parcel taken. As a result, the property owner’s appraisal was revised
downward to $372,423. The County’s appraiser concurred with the amount of the property
owner’s revised appraisal. This
settlement includes all damages and costs to cure, but excludes attorney’s fees
and reasonable expert costs that will be calculated pursuant to Florida law. District

motion to approve: an award exception of $5,760 under Palm Beach
County’s State Housing Initiative Partnership Program (SHIP) Utility Connection
Program for an eligible very low income homeowner, Samuel Sarabia. Summary:
Mr. Sarabia is an income eligible
applicant under the Utility Connection Program and was awarded the maximum
funding of $10,000 to connect water and sewer services to his primary residence
located at 4077 Lakewood Road in Palm Springs.
However, the total costs, which were not known until work had commenced,
exceeded the maximum award by $5,760.
The project was initially intended as a sewer connection project, but
later had to be expanded to include a water connection which increased the
cost. The Village of Palm Springs
requires a water connection whenever homeowners make a sewer connection to
their homes. The total construction and connection costs are $15,760. The
maximum award amount an income eligible applicant can receive through the
Utility Connection Program is $10,000. This homeowner does not have the
financial capacity to pay the difference and therefore, BCC approval is
required for the applicant to receive assistance exceeding the maximum award
amount. Funding will be provided in the
form of a deferred payment zero percent interest loan secured by Mortgage and
Promissory Note for a period of five years, without amortization. If the applicant rents, sells, or otherwise
conveys the home during the five years; the entire deferred loan becomes due
and payable. These are State SHIP funds which require no local match. District

County, Florida, establishing an exemption from certain ad valorem taxation to
encourage economic development in the County for Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation,
an existing business; providing for a finding that requirements have been met;
providing for the amount of revenue available from ad valorem tax sources for
the current fiscal year; providing for the amount of revenue lost by virtue of
the economic development ad valorem tax exemptions currently in effect;
providing for the estimated revenue lost attributable to the exemption granted
to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation; providing for the period of time for which
the exemption will remain in effect and the expiration date of the exemption;
providing for annual reporting requirement; providing for applicability;
providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing for
severability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; and providing for an
effective date. Summary: On July 21, 2015, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved Economic Development Incentive Agreement
(R2015-0950) with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) providing an Ad
Valorem Tax Exemption of up to $128,575 over a three year period, and providing
an economic development cash incentive in the amount of $18,200. The Ad Valorem
Tax Exemption is for real property and tangible personal property improvements
undertaken in the company’s expansion of a 33,000 square foot addition to its
CH-53K Marine helicopter testing facility. The exemption, together with the
incentive payment, serves as the local financial support for the State of
Florida’s commitment to the company of $698,000 under the Qualified Target
Industry Tax Refund Program (QTI). The Agreement requires Sikorsky to make a
minimum $10.3 Million capital investment, create 14 new jobs over a three year
period at an annualized average wage of $80,000, and maintain those jobs for
three years, as well as retain 81 existing jobs for three years. As required
under Palm Beach County’s Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program
implemented by the BCC through adoption of Ordinance 2013-022, Sikorsky
Aircraft Corporation has filed an application with the Property Appraiser’s
(PA) office, and the PA has issued a determination that the project meets the
requirements under Florida Statute 196.012 for an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption

MOTION/TITLE, SUMMARY & ADDED BACKUP: Staff
recommends motion to:
A) authorize the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) to
prepare a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funded Choice
Neighborhoods Implementation Grants (CNIG) application.; and
B) approve a
Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan and a Certification of Consistency with Sustainable
Communities Planning and Implementation for the Palm Beach County
Housing Authority (PBCHA) in connection with their grant application to the U.
S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the FY2010
Sustainable Communities Regional Planning and HUD-DOT Challenge Grants.
SUMMARY: The focus of this implementation grant application
is the overall revitalization of the Grand Lake Apartments project located at
2000 South Main Street in Belle Glade and the surrounding neighborhood. The Choice Neighborhoods Implementation
grant CNIG is designed to address struggling neighborhoods with distressed
public housing, through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood
transformation. The grant helps to establish supportive services on-site, add
resources to improve educational outcomes, address public safety issues,
increase civic engagement, and generate jobs for the residents of this Belle
Glade neighborhood. The County’s recently completed Glades Region Master Plan
(GRMP) will serve as the foundation and guidance document for the
Transformation Plan required for submission.
If awarded, grant funds would be used to acquire and redevelop the
severely distressed Grand Lake multi-family apartment complex and transform the
project and nearby neighborhood into a live-work-learn community that provides
its residents with education, job training, employment and supportive
services. Grand Lake Apartments is an
existing 384 unit multi- family complex located in the City of Belle
Glade. Constructed in 1989, the Project
has in recent years suffered from high vacancy, disrepair, and a foreclosure in
2012. At this time, there is a critical
need to address hazards to current tenants’ health and welfare. The grant
amount being requested is $30,000,000. Should HUD approve the grant, staff will
bring a formal Memorandum of Understanding an agreement between
the PBCHA and the County to the Board of County Commissioners that will provide
funding to DES staff for planning and technical assistance activities. The
application will be submitted for the funding cycle deadline of June 28, 2016. The
CNIG application requires a “Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated
Plan”. Palm Beach County’s current Consolidated Plan, covering the period
Fiscal year 2015-2020, was approved (R2015-049) by the Board of County
Commissioners on July 21, 2015. DES has
determined that the proposed CNIG activities are consistent with the goals and
objectives outlined in the Consolidated Plan. Specifically, these goals and
objectives include increasing the supply of affordable housing and improving
the quality of existing affordable rental housing. Therefore, staff recommends
the execution of this certificate. The CNIG application also requires a
“Certification of Consistency with Sustainable Communities Planning
and Implementation”. DES has determined
that the proposed CNIG activities are consistent with the Livability Principles
advanced by communities in the FY 2010 Sustainable Communities Regional
Planning and 2012 HUD-DOT Challenge Grants. Therefore, staff recommends the
execution of this certificate. These are Federal HUD funds which require an
in-kind local match of at least $1,500,000 which will be met through projects
funded by the County in Belle Glade. No
additional County local match is required. District 6

motion to approve: the
sale of one Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)-owned
property to Mi Pais Express for Twenty-nine Thousand Dollars ($29,000) and
other considerations subject to the terms of the CRA’s Invitation to Bid. Summary:
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 89-6, Board of
County Commissioners (BCC) approval is required for disposition of any real
property owned by the CRA. The property is a 0.20 acre vacant land located at
2640 Cherokee Avenue. The property
borders an adjacent privately owned single family home that faces the Westgate
Avenue Commercial Corridor. The owner of that home, Mr. Mickey Fernandez,
principal owner of Mi Pais Express, is proposing to acquire the vacant parcel
and redevelop the two properties into a mixed-use project in accordance with
the Westgate Community Redevelopment Plan and the Unified Land Development
Code. The property was recently appraised for Twenty-nine Thousand Dollars
($29,000). Mr. Fernandez has offered to buy the property for Twenty-nine
Thousand Dollars ($29,000). The owner
plans to combine his lot with the CRA owned lot to develop a 4,400 sq. ft.
two-story building consisting of 2,200 square feet of commercial space
downstairs and two residential units upstairs in accordance with the CRA’s
Zoning Overlay. The new owner will have a maximum of three years to design,
permit, build and complete the project. It is estimated that the project will
create 13 jobs and have an economic development impact of approximately $2
Million over five years. If for any reason, the owner fails to complete the
project in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the property
will revert back to the CRA. Funds received from the sale of the property will
be put back in the CRA’s general fund for future redevelopment activities. The
CRA Board approved the sale at their August 10, 2015 meeting. Districts 2 & 7 (RB)

recommends motion to approve: advance
payment in the amount of $35,531 for the Center for Family Services, for operating
costs at the Pat Reeves Village (Family Homeless Shelter). Summary: The Center for Family Services (CFS)
operates the Pat Reeves Village, the only homeless emergency shelter for
homeless families with dependent children in Palm Beach County. On July 21, 2015, the Board of County
Commissioners approved funding in the amount of $111,014 for the Pat Reeves
Village (R2015-1435). This contract has
$46,426 dollars remaining in their current allocation. The advance payment will
be made from this allocation. CFS’s total
program budget for the Pat Reeves Village is $704,580. Fifty percent of their
budget is based on projected donations from donors and foundations. Due to a
significant decline in those donations, CFS is not able to meet payroll or
operating costs for the Pat Reeves Village shelter for the month of June 2016,
and as a result, they were in danger of closing their doors as of May 31,
2016. Closure of the Pat Reeves Village
would displace 19 homeless families currently residing in the facility. This would tax the already overburdened
homeless system and would result in the loss of 19 apartments. CFS requires $35,531 to continue to operate
for a 30 day period. This emergency plan
is more cost effective than relocating 19 homeless families and would not
disrupt the current staffing pattern or families residing at the Pat Reeves
Village. The advance will be in 2
payments. One payment will be made
immediately to allow CFS to meet payroll on June 15, 2016, and the second
payment will be contingent upon an effective transition plan from CFS that
identifies another entity capable of sustaining the emergency shelter program. County Staff anticipates a new shelter
operator will be in place by July 1, 2016. Countywide (HH)
