Founding members were appointed for 1, 2 and 3 year terms with subsequent terms of three years. The Resolution creating the CAC/HHS requires the Executive Committee of the Citizens Advisory Committee to solicit and recommend member nominations for transmittal to the Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners was notified by memos dated June 3, 2016 and July 6th, 2016, and requested to provide nominations for appointments. The CAC/HHS Executive Committee on July 11, 2016, recommended Sharon Greene and Sandra Chamblee be reappointed and Dr. Nate Nichols and Thomas Cleare be appointed. At the regular CAC Committee Meeting held on September 8, 2016, Dr. Nichols advised he wished to withdraw his application. Ms. Sandra Chamblee has disclosed at a duly noticed public meeting that she is a board member of The Glades Initiative, Inc., which contracts with the County for services. The Glades Initiative, Inc. is seeking Financially Assisted Agencies (FAA) funding for FY2017. Ms. Chamblee currently serves as a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee on Health and Human Services (CAC/HHS) and is seeking reappointment to the CAC/HHS. The CAC/HHS makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners annually during the FAA process regarding service and funding priorities, outcomes and contract requirements.

39                    3T-1                REVISED SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, adopting the FY 2015/2016 Budget Amendment for the Air Pollution Control Program. Summary:  This Resolution is required by the August 21, 1984, Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Health Palm Beach County (DOHPBC) to establish the annual budget for the expenditure of fees deposited into the Air Pollution Control Trust Fund.  This program is solely supported by motor vehicle license registration fees collected by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The proposed FY 2015/2016 budget Amendment for the Air Pollution Control Program from this funding source is $60,000. In August 2015, the County approved the 2015/16 budget for the Air Pollution Control Program for $960,000 $966,000. This additional $60,000 is requested support the expenses associated with the vehicle purchase ($22,000) and the air monitoring station relocation ($38,000).  The budget for the air monitoring station is increased due to the modifications required by the US Environmental Protection Agency. This budget can be accommodated by future revenues and a surplus in the Air Pollution Control Trust Fund. This is a state funding source. The amount is specifically designated by statute for this program and is currently available. Countywide (HH) (Health Dept)

Boruff, AIA Architects + & Planners, Inc., to provide architectural/engineering design services associated with Fire-Rescue Station No. 22 Minto Westlake project in the amount of $375,398. SUMMARY: Staff has prepared this item for Board consideration given the longstanding interest in this facility and the desire to expedite its delivery.  This contract provides for the design, permitting and construction administration services for a 4 bay fire station, approximately 10,000 sq. ft., on Seminole Pratt Whitney Road in the City of Westlake. The estimated construction cost is $3,800,000.  The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation for this contract is 94.8 96.1%.  Stephen L.

Summary:  The Palm Tran Service Board is composed of 13 At-Large members with specific seat categories.  There are currently three vacancies on the Board and five members are requesting reappointment.  On July 18, 2016, staff circulated a memo to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) requesting support of the members. The Resolutions currently governing the Palm Tran Service Board, state that all members shall be residents of Palm Beach County, and do not allow for exceptions. In March 2013, the BCC adopted new uniform policies and procedures governing advisory boards, and allowed for exemptions to the residency requirement when circumstances warrant outside technical/professional representation. In the case of Mr. Mattingly, staff is requesting the BCC waive the residency requirement since Seat 10 is assigned to a fixed route bus operator, and there are no residency requirements for Palm Tran’s fixed route bus operators. No additional nominations were received. The diversity composition, including the reappointments, would be Caucasian: 7 (70%), African-American: 2 (20%) and Multicultural: 1 (10%).  The gender ratio (male: female) would be 8:2. For the three remaining vacancies, Palm Tran staff will conduct targeted outreach in an effort to proffer candidates for appointment that will improve the diversity composition of the Board.

The 3,800 acre project, then known as Minto West, obtained Comprehensive Plan amendments, Unified Land Development Code amendments, a Zoning Development Order and use approvals.  In addition, Minto entered into a proportionate fair share agreement with the County, all to help achieve a long-standing County vision to help balance uses, provide for public benefits, and the requisite infrastructure within the CWC. Within the amendments, approvals, and agreements Minto West made numerous commitments to the County regarding public benefits, roads, drainage and other items. The County expects Westlake to adhere to the items within the development order. At the direction of the Board, staff reviewed the fiscal impacts of the municipal incorporation and provided the information via memorandum of August 24, 2016.  The Board, at the Zoning Board meeting on August 25, 2016 directed staff to give a presentation of the information.

 2.        Staff recommends motion to approve: an Offices Services Agreement with Symphony Workplaces of Palm Beach, LLC for use of one executive office suite for $809 per month.  SUMMARY: The lifeguards at Kreusler Park do not have office, break room and changing area space meeting County Standards.  Construction of a new restroom building with office space for the lifeguards has been delayed pending site plan approval by the Town of Palm Beach.  In the interim, Parks and Recreation proposes to rent an office within the adjacent executive suites building owned by Symphony Workplaces for $809 per month for use by the lifeguards. The term of this Agreement runs through January of 2017, and may be extended on a month to month basis. A refundable security deposit of $1,618 will be paid upon execution of this Agreement. Once construction of the restroom building commences, currently projected to begin in January of 2017, the lifeguards will be relocated to the construction trailer. (PREM) District 7 (HJF)

A) a First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement (R2015-1646) with the Village of Royal Palm Beach (Village) for use of Village fire stations;

 

B) a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Village to acquire Village Station No. 1 for $978,310.48;

 

C) a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Village to acquire Village Station No. 2 for $768,354;

 

D) a Budget Transfer of $1,463,025 within the Fire/Rescue MSTU (Fund 1300) to establish funding in the Fire Rescue Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 3700) for the purchase of Village Station No. 1 and Village Station No. 2; and

 

E) a Budget Amendment of $1,463,025 within the Fire Rescue Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 3700) to recognize revenue from the Fire/Rescue MSTU (Fund 1300), establish budget to fund the purchase of Village Station No. 1 and Village Station No. 2, and transfer $283,640 from the Fire Rescue Capital Improvement Fund’s contingency reserves to fully fund the purchase of both fire stations.

 

SUMMARY:  The County currently provides fire-rescue services to the Village through the Village’s participation in the Fire Rescue MSTU.  The Village owns two fire stations: Village Station No. 1 (also known as County Station No. 28), located at 1040 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard; and Village Station No. 2 (also known as County Station No. 29), located at 10055 Belvedere Road. Pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement, the County uses both stations to provide fire-rescue services to the Village. The existing Interlocal Agreement requires monthly rental payments totaling $225,000 per year to the Village for use of these two fire stations.  As it is expected that Fire Rescue will provide service to the Village for at least the next 10 years, it is more cost effective for Fire Rescue to purchase the stations.  These new Agreements provide for Fire Rescue to purchase the two stations at their assessed value totaling $1,746,664.48, and rental payments will terminate at closing.  The properties will be deed restricted principally for fire-rescue purposes.  On June 13, 2016, the Property Review Committee reviewed the proposed transaction and concurred with using the assessed value of the fire stations as opposed to obtaining appraisals.  Closing of Village Station No. 2 is expected to occur by September 30, 2016 and Village Station No. 1 is anticipated to close by April of 2017. This purchase must be approved by a supermajority vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on September 27, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 19, article IX (Ordinance No. 2008-43) of the Palm Beach County Code, as amended, the Palm Beach County Vehicle for Hire Ordinance; amending Section 19-213 (definitions); amending Section 19-217 (reciprocity); providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; and providing an effective date.  SUMMARY: Previously, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to work with nearby counties on the recommendation from the vehicle for hire industry to modify the language in the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance with regards to reciprocity.  Currently, the majority of vehicle for hire companies licensed in Palm Beach County cannot operate in some nearby Counties due to restrictions set forth on the number of companies permitted to operate in those counties, specifically Broward and Miami-Dade.  Palm Beach County does not restrict the number of companies permitted to operate. The Public Safety Department’s Division of Consumer Affairs met with Broward and Miami-Dade County staff to review and discuss the proposed changes and agreed to provide reciprocity for vehicle for hire companies that are licensed in Broward, Miami-Dade, St. Lucie and/or Martin counties as long as those Counties have enacted a vehicle for hire ordinance with business permit reciprocity in substantially the same form as Palm Beach County’s Vehicle for Hire Ordinance.  The vehicle for hire companies applying for a Palm Beach County business permit reciprocity would still be subject to payment of all applicable fees and comply with all provisions of the Ordinance.  Staff has determined that this change would be a minimal impact to Palm Beach County since most companies in nearby counties already hold a Palm Beach County business permit.  If other counties do not enact similar changes to their reciprocity language, companies that hold a Palm Beach County business permit may still not be allowed to operate in those Counties and continue to be subject to restrictions set forth on the number of companies permitted to operate.  This proposed amendment to the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities on August 24, 2016, and was unanimously approved.

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on September 27, 2016 at 9:30 a.m. an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 4 (Ordinance 98-22, as amended by Ordinances 2001-065, 2003-27, 2005-44, 2008-004, 2009-019, 2011-005 and 2015-027) pertaining to animal care and control, amending Section 4-1 (short tile); amending Section 4-2 (definitions); amending Section 4-23 (kennel, excess animal habitat, commercial breeder, pet dealer, pet shop, grooming parlor, and commercial stable permits); amending Section 4-26 (animal agencies); amending Section 4-27 (aggressive dogs, dangerous dogs and vicious dogs); amending Section 4-28 (sterilization program for dogs and cats); amending Section 4-29 (hobby breeder permits); amending Section 4-30 (animal care and control special master hearings); providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for enforcement; providing for penalty; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY:  The Animal Care and Control Ordinance provides laws that govern the regulation and protection of animals in Palm Beach County.  The first category of ordinance revisions reflect direction from the March 22, 2016 Board of County Commissioners meeting which was to strengthen regulations on the sale of dogs and cats and on the issuance of pet shop and pet dealer permits in Palm Beach County.  To accomplish this request, the proposed changes were made: prohibit the issuance of new pet shop and pet dealer commercial operating licenses and grandfathering in of existing licensees that remain in good standing;  require pet shops and pet dealers to obtain dogs and cats from USDA licensed breeders, dealers and transporters that have no record of animal cruelty or neglect and have not received certain USDA violations within the past two years; and exempt pet shops from certain regulations when rescue dogs are offered for adoption in the store. The next category of revisions support the Countdown to Zero mission to allow for better monitoring on adoptions and animals entering our County as well as supply critical data necessary to measure success of Countdown to Zero. Changes include:  require Animal Agencies to provide adoption records to ACC monthly; and require that any animal adopted out unsterilized by an Animal Agency due to heath concerns be brought back to the Animal Agency or veterinarian as soon as possible for sterilization.  The final category includes minor revisions which are the following: amend regulations pertaining to dangerous and vicious dogs for consistency with Chapter 767, Florida Statutes; and prohibit the breeding of cats other than registered pedigreed cats.  Staff determined that current resources are not sufficient to ensure compliance and provide enforcement for these proposed ordinance changes; therefore we will request a part-time Animal Control Officer II position at final adoption of the Ordinance on September 27, 2016.  This proposed amendment to the Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities on August 24, 2016, and was unanimously approved.  In addition, the League of Cities made a motion to request the County to allocate additional resources to support these changes.
