PAGE ITEM
48 5E-1 ADD-ON:
Staff recommends motion to authorize: the Director of Facilities Development & Operations to approve
purchase orders in any amount, for personal property associated with the
BallPark of the Palm Beaches, which have been procured through a competitive or
alternate source procurement pursuant to the Purchasing Ordinance, and have
been requested by HW to be County procured with or without the payment of sales
tax. SUMMARY: HW Spring Training Complex, LLC, (HW) has requested that
the County procure, for the BallPark of the Palm Beaches, various items of
personal property which were included in the project budget for the Facility in
order for it to secure the most favorable pricing available through existing
local, State and Federal contracts (commonly known as piggyback contracts).
Purchase orders which contain personal property that is located or primarily
used in areas not considered Public Use Improvements pursuant to the Sports
Facility Use Agreement (R2015-1523), may include the payment of sales
tax. The payment of sales tax at this time of purchase will: 1) protect
the County for claims of any misuse of the County’s tax exempt status for items
used primarily or solely by a private entity, and 2) relieve the County of the
administrative burden associated with ensuring that sales tax is paid in the future when an item purchased with a sales tax exemption is
disposed of to a private property prior to the end of its useful life. HW concurs with the payment of sales tax on
these certain items as it will allow HW to reduce a large portion of the
administrative burden associated with the renewal/replacement monitoring and
asset tracking pursuant to the Sports Facility Use Agreement. These
purchases are to be initially funded from the Public Improvement Taxable
Revenue Bond for Professional Sports Facility and will be ultimately allocated
to HW’s equity contribution to the project. There is no fiscal impact to this
item as all purchase orders will be funded from the monies already
contractually committed to HW. (FDO) Countywide (MWJ)
52 9F ADD-ON: Request approval to present off-site, a Proclamation
commemorating the life of George H. Wedgworth, Agricultural Leader. (Sponsored
by Commissioner McKinlay)

appointee for Seat No. 11 is being submitted for approval by the Board of
County Commissioners for the remainder of the current three year term ending

5. Staff recommends
motion to adopt:
a Resolution declaring the acquisition of property designated as parcel 133 as
fee simple road right-of-way, and adjacent parcels 233 and 333 as an embankment
easement and a temporary construction easement; respectively for the widening
of Northlake Boulevard from east of Hall Boulevard to Coconut Boulevard
(Project). SUMMARY: Adoption of
this Resolution will initiate eminent domain proceedings for the three parcels
which have a total appraised value of $43,650.
The property owner has not accepted the offer to purchase made by Palm
Beach County (County) and attempts to negotiate the purchase have been
unsuccessful. Eminent domain proceedings
are necessary to acquire the parcels at this time in order to expedite
construction of the Project, which is funded in the current Five Year Road
Program. District 6 (PM)
6. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a blanket approval for appraisal and acquisition of the lands,
rights-of-way, and easements for all projects in Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017 as
identified in the mid year adjustment to the Five Year Road Program adopted on
August 16, 2016; and
B) the employment of all experts, including but not limited to real estate
appraisers, engineers, certified public accountants, business damage experts,
and other experts, deemed necessary to appraise and acquire the before mentioned
lands, rights-of-way, and easements.
SUMMARY: These
approvals will provide for the acquisitions necessary to accomplish the road
goals as adopted in the mid year adjustment to the Five Year Road Program for
Fiscal Year 2016 through Fiscal Year 2020. Countywide (MRE)
7. Staff recommends motion to:
A) approve funding in the amount of two hundred and thirty-one thousand dollars ($231,000) as a not to exceed amount for reimbursing the Village of Palm Springs, (Village) for the designing, permitting and construction of paving and drainage improvements to Canal 11 Road, Erie Terrace, Lone Pine Way and Childs Street (Project);
B) authorize the County Administrator to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Village for joint funding of the Project; and
C) approve a Budget Transfer of $231,000 in the Unincorporated Improvement Fund from Reserves to Palm Springs Canal 11 Road, Erie Terrace, Lone Pine Way, and Child Street Improvements project.
SUMMARY: There is an existing Board policy to participate in the funding for roads that will be annexed into, and accepted for maintenance by, a municipality. These four roads meet the policy goals. Approval of the reimbursement funding will allow Palm Beach County (County) to participate in joint funding of the Project. The County and Village are currently working on an Interlocal Agreement to memorialize the terms of the joint funding for the Project. The estimated cost for designing, permitting and constructing the Project is estimated at $700,000. The County’s participation will be limited to a maximum amount of $231,000, which represents 33% of the estimated Project costs. Authorization of the County Administrator to execute the Agreement after it has been executed by the Village will allow the Project to proceed. Funding exists in the Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) Program for this Project; MSTU funds have been the traditional funding source for these types of agreements. District 3 (PM)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Contract for Provision of Services with The Jerome Golden Center for
Behavioral Health, Inc. (Jerome Golden), for the period January 1, 2017,
through September 30, 2017, for the provision of homeless services to homeless
individuals, in an amount not to exceed $109,776; and
B) Contract for Provision of Services with The Lord's Place, Inc., (The
Lord's Place), for the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017, for
the provision of supportive housing services to homeless individuals, in an

C) Contract for Provision of Services with Adopt-A-Family of the Palm
Beaches, Inc., (AAF), for the period October 1, 2016, through September 30,
2017, for the provision of supportive services to homeless families, in an
amount not to exceed $104,761.
SUMMARY:
In May 2016, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
announced that three currently funded Permanent Supportive Housing programs
would not be renewed in Palm Beach County; Project Home IV (Jerome Golden),
Joshua House (The Lord's Place) and A Place Called Home (AAF). The contracts being recommended for approval
will offset the loss of HUD funds and mitigate the impact to homeless
services and housing for individuals and families as a result of HUD's funding
decision. The effective dates of service for The Lord's Place and AAF contracts
submitted for approval are prior to this meeting date. The Jerome Golden Center
contract will not begin until January 1, 2017, as their current HUD funding
does not expire until December 2016. The dollar amounts for these contracts are
included in the FY 2017 budget. Thomas

systems replacement projects. SUMMARY:
On January 13, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a
contract with Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. (KHA) to provide planning and
engineering services for electronics and security systems replacement
projects. Also on January 13, 2015, the

motion to approve: Contract with TLC Engineering for Architecture,
Inc., in the amount of $1,176,921, to provide planning and engineering/robust
services associated with electronics and security systems replacement
project. SUMMARY: The purpose of
this Contract is to have a consultant provide professional design services for
the renewal/replacement of security electronic systems, a life safety study,
and the command center expansion, as well as for construction phase
administration services. The Main County Courthouse (MCCH) has a complex
security electronic and fire alarm system which provides for the safety of the
judges, staff and public, supports the movement of inmates for Court
activities, and protects the County's property, as well as evidence and records
stored within the facility. These systems have been in place since 1993 (except
the fire system which had a partial upgrade in 2009). Since these systems must
be operational 100% of the time, downtime is becoming an issue due to lack of
availability of parts and/or contracted service personnel familiar with the
operating system and/or logic controls.
Under a previous contract, another consultant completed a Current System
and User needs assessment report, and also a Technology Enhancements
Recommendations Summary Report. These reports confirmed the end of life need to
replace the integrating/controlling structure and each of the seven subsystems,
and made recommendations for the replacement of each system. Additionally, the
MCCH’s command center (which also houses the security electronics) will need to
be expanded for: 1) the additional equipment; and 2) reconfiguration of workstations
to accommodate added and enlarged monitors. This Contract also includes a life
safety evacuation study including the identification of any architectural and
structural changes required to secure a letter of equivalency from the Fire
Marshall. The letter of equivalency is
needed to allow for the additional security features desired by the court which
are not consistent with original design assumptions of the building. The
renewal/replacement project is expected to take place over 3 – 5 years depending
on ability to physically perform this work without disruption to operations.
TLC Engineering for Architecture, Inc. is a national business with offices
throughout Florida to support this project and will be utilizing Palm Beach
County sub-consultants for approximately 19% of the work. This Contract
includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation of 12.7%. Funding
for project is from previous years Public Building Improvement Fund.

$346,395 for the North County Government Center Hearing Room 2706 and Secured
Corridors project in Palm Beach Gardens establishing a Guaranteed Maximum Price
(GMP). SUMMARY: This Amendment authorizes conversion of Hearing Room
2706 to a courtroom and providing improvements to the judicial corridors which
will be converted from public access to secured access only. This Amendment is necessary due to an
increase in demand for courtrooms, to segregate the Judge’s work areas from the
public, and to enhance security for the Judges.
The duration of construction is 99 days.
The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for this contract is 15%. The Weitz Company, LLC’s SBE participation
for this Amendment is 36.2%. This
project was fully funded from the Public Building Improvement Fund in FY16. The Weitz Company, LLC is a Palm Beach County

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County acquired a 0.07
acre parcel located at 4375 Carver Street, east of Military Trail and south of
10th Avenue North in unincorporated Lake Worth, by Tax Deed in March
2000. This property is unbuildable,

Property Appraiser has assessed the parcel at $5,026 for 2016. Pursuant to Florida Statutes Section
125.35(2), the Board may effect a private sale of the
parcel upon a finding that the value of a parcel is $15,000 or less, and when
due to its size, shape, location, and value it is of use to only one or more
adjacent property owners. In November
2015, PREM was contacted by two adjacent property owners expressing an interest
in the parcel. In accordance with
Florida Statutes Section 125.35(2), notice of the County’s intent to sell this
parcel was sent to all adjacent property owners of the County parcel. Three responses of interest were
received. On August 18, 2016, Staff
provided each party notice and afforded them the opportunity to submit a
bid. One bid was received from Southwind
Homes, LLC in the amount of $10,600.
Staff recommends a finding by the Board that due to the parcel’s size,
shape, location, and value it is of use to only one or more adjacent property
owners, and that the Board sell this parcel to the sole bidder, Southwind
Homes, LLC. Southwind Homes, LLC will
pay documentary stamps and recording costs, and will accept the property in “AS
IS” condition. The County will retain
mineral rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, but will not

Improvement Fund (Fund 4011) to recognize the $485,000 grant revenue from the
agreement and transfer $485,000 in expenditures to the grant budget expense
line from Water Utilities budget expense line.
Summary: The Water Utilities Department
(WUD) has identified the need for the construction of an additional public
water supply well (PW-11) in the Western Region of the WUD service area
(Project) to provide additional efficiency in the operation of Water Treatment
Plant (WTP) 11. A grant in the amount of
$485,000 is available through EPA for the construction of infrastructure that
benefits and improves WTP 11 pursuant to funds that were Congressionally
appropriated in 2009. The acceptance of the XP Grant agreement will provide for
the application of the available monies to the construction of PW-11. The budget period from the grant began on
March 1, 2016 and will end on April 1, 2018.
The estimated overall cost for the construction of PW-11 is $1,806,182
and the Project will be procured in the near future to conform with EPA
requirements upon acceptance of the grant funds. WUD anticipates completion of the project
within the current fiscal year. WUD
determined that the most effective placement of PW-11 is in a location on the
West Tech site that was dedicated to the Palm Beach County School District by
the State of Florida. Construction and
maintenance of PW-11 requires the execution of the Easement Agreement to
provide for several easement areas and a license area, as well as the
modification of the dedication of state lands to the School District. Exhibit A to the Easement Agreement provides
for a permanent easement for the construction and maintenance of the raw water
well PW-11. Exhibit B provides for a
permanent easement for the construction and maintenance of the pipeline
required to connect PW-11 to WTP 11.
Exhibit C provides for a buffer easement for the protection of PW-11
after construction. Exhibit D provides
for a temporary construction easement for the storage and utilization of areas
for construction of the well and associated water main. Exhibit E provides for a permanent easement
for an access road off the School District property to the well location for
maintenance purposes. Exhibit F provides
for a license area for routine operations access through the School District
site. WUD has agreed to pay $19,246 to
the School District in consideration for the easement areas. The School Board
approved a modification of the dedication of state lands to the School District
to allow for utilization of the site for public water supply purposes as well
as the Easement Agreement at its meeting on September 20, 2016. (WUD Project No. 15-058) District 6 (MJ)

contractor’s maintaining an office or place of business within a particular
local jurisdiction. The County’s SBE
Ordinance (R2002-0064 as amended) includes such a requirement. Because 87% of this project is funded by a

a Chinese Lantern Festival from January 10, 2017, through April 21,
2017, at Sunset Cove Amphitheater and its adjacent grounds within Burt Aaronson
South County Regional Park. Summary:
The Hanart Chinese Lantern Festival
is an eight week festival highlighting large scale lighted Chinese lanterns.
The festival operates at night illuminating the festival grounds in color. The theme of the festival will be world
continents with lanterns depicting themes from around the world, inclusive of
30ft dragons, the Eiffel Tower, pandas and the Statue of Liberty. This festival has been successfully presented
in Texas, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The Parks and Recreation
Department (Department) utilizes a standard Amphitheater Rental Agreement which
is executed at the Department level.
However, non-standard Amphitheater Rental Agreements are sometimes required
to satisfy the specific terms of a given renter. Hanart Culture, LLC and the Department
request modifications to the approved standard Amphitheater Rental Agreement
language which requires Board approval.
The modifications clarify the responsibilities and expectations of the
County and Hanart Culture, LLC for issues such as settlement of payment by week
rather than by event day or conclusion of event, revenue percentage, deposit
amounts and termination language. County revenues generated from the Lantern
Festival are estimated at $100,000 or greater.
If successful in 2017, Hanart Culture, LLC would like to enter into a
longer term agreement for subsequent years.
This Agreement allows for Hanart Culture, LLC to set up for the event
beginning January 10, 2017. The exhibit

A) receive and file an award letter from the U.S. Department of

D) approve a Budget Amendment of $15,929 in the Justice Service
Grant Fund to recognize the transfer from the Criminal Justice Grant Fund.
SUMMARY: Palm Beach
County was allocated $160,148 in federal funds as part of the U.S. Department
of Justice, Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Local Solicitation Formula Grant Program.
On May 23, 2016, the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) approved recommendations
made by the CJC’s Finance Committee to allocate these funds to the existing
Juvenile Reentry Program operating under the County’s Public Safety Department.
This program provides transitional services to juveniles reentering society
from jail and prison. At the August 16, 2016, Board Meeting, the Mayor’s
signature was ratified on the grant application (R2016-1027). Grant
2016-DJ-BX-0889 was awarded on September 14, 2016 and accepted on September 26,
2016 by Kristina Henson, Executive Director of the CJC, in accordance with
R2016-1027. GAN 1 and GAN 2 were originated by the DOJ Grant Management System
(GMS) due to a technical glitch. Though the grant was awarded on September 14,
2016 to coincide with County FY17, it has a federal start date of October 1,
2015 because this funding was allocated by Congress in Federal FY16.
Accordingly, when the grant award was entered into the GMS by the DOJ with a
start date of October 1, 2015, the GMS created false delinquent financial
report statements for FY16, freezing funds until County staff entered zero on
the financial reports for this time period (GAN 1). Once County staff completed
the financial reports in GMS, the DOJ released funds (GAN 2). GAN 3 reallocates
$68,392.00 in funding to Gulfstream Goodwill Industries by: (1) decreasing the
salary/benefits for a Program Director; (2) increasing the salary/benefits for
a Program Coordinator; (3) eliminating funding for an event supervisor; and (4)
providing mileage reimbursement to program staff. GAN 3 was executed on October
11, 2016 in accordance with R2016-1027. Countywide (JB)

provide a specialized strangulation domestic violence training for first responders, prosecutors, defenders, victim
advocates and hospital personnel. The Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) recognized the need for this specialized training, and
then sought, and received support from the Law Enforcement Planning Council,
the Palm Beach County Domestic Violence Council, and the Circuit Office of the
Florida Department of Children and Families. As a result, the CJC issued
a Request for Proposals (RFP) on January 27, 2015 for this training. On March 23, 2015, the CJC voted to recommend that the
Board award this contract to the Alliance for Hope International. The Alliance

and was launched with support from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence
Against Women. After working with the Alliance on a
budget and details of the training, the CJC on September 28, 2015 voted to
recommend that the Board utilize Domestic Violence Trust Funds for this
project. The Board has asked that
the CJC oversee this Trust Fund and provide recommendations to the Board on its
use. This recommended allocation of Trust Fund dollars is consistent with the

The Fire/Rescue MSTU encompasses the unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County
plus the incorporated areas within municipalities that have opted to join the
MSTU. The City of Westlake (City) was incorporated on June 20, 2016. The area
within the municipal boundaries of the City was, prior to the City’s
incorporation, included within the Fire/Rescue MSTU as part of the
unincorporated area of the County. The City Charter authorizes the Fire/Rescue
MSTU to continue within the boundaries of the City until the City adopts an
ordinance to the contrary. On November 14, 2016, the City adopted City
Ordinance No. 2016‑04 to formalize its consent, in accordance with
Section 125.01(1)(q), Florida Statutes, to be included
in the Fire/Rescue MSTU for County fire-rescue and related services within the
City. This ordinance will amend the boundaries of the Fire/Rescue MSTU to
formally include the properties within the municipal boundaries of the City. Countywide

A) ratify the Mayor’s signature on Cooperative Agreement
2016-XV-GX-K018 with the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice
Programs, for the period of October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2019, to

MRFCCHC Project Coordinator (pay grade 26) to the Victim Services complement;
C) approve a Budget Amendment of $579,965 in the

Summary: The County was selected as
a demonstration site to develop and institutionalize a multi-disciplinary
coordinated approach to responding to deaths involving DUI or Impaired Driving
and meeting the needs of survivors/victims through trauma-informed and
victim-centered approaches. The award includes funding for Florida State
University to serve as the project research partner, Mother’s Against Drunk

be deleted from the Victims Services complement. The emergency signature
process was utilized to execute the Agreement because there was not sufficient
time to submit the Agreement through the regular agenda item process and adhere
to the project timeline. No County

E. FACILITIES
DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS
1. ADD-ON: Staff
recommends motion to authorize: the Director of Facilities Development &
Operations to approve purchase orders in any amount, for personal property
associated with the BallPark of the Palm Beaches, which have been procured
through a competitive or alternate source procurement pursuant to the
Purchasing Ordinance, and have been requested by HW to be County procured with
or without the payment of sales tax. SUMMARY: HW Spring Training
Complex, LLC, (HW) has requested that the County procure, for the BallPark of
the Palm Beaches, various items of personal property which were included in the
project budget for the Facility in order for it to secure the most favorable
pricing available through existing local, State and Federal contracts (commonly
known as piggyback contracts). Purchase orders which contain personal property
that is located or primarily used in areas not considered Public Use
Improvements pursuant to the Sports Facility Use Agreement (R2015-1523), may
include the payment of sales tax. The payment of sales tax at this time
of purchase will: 1) protect the County for claims of any misuse of the
County’s tax exempt status for items used primarily or solely by a private
entity, and 2) relieve the County of the administrative burden associated with
ensuring that sales tax is paid in the future when an item purchased with a
sales tax exemption is disposed of to a private property prior to the end of
its useful life. HW concurs with the
payment of sales tax on these certain items as it will allow HW to reduce a
large portion of the administrative burden associated with the
renewal/replacement monitoring and asset tracking pursuant to the Sports
Facility Use Agreement. These purchases are to be initially funded from
the Public Improvement Taxable Revenue Bond for Professional Sports Facility
and will be ultimately allocated to HW’s equity contribution to the project.
There is no fiscal impact to this item as all purchase orders will be funded
from the monies already contractually committed to HW. (FDO) Countywide
