motion to approve: a Maintenance and Easement Agreement with Arden
Homeowners Association, Inc. (HOA) for the installation and maintenance of
landscaping and an irrigation system over a portion of the County’s Arden PUD
Civic Site. SUMMARY: In October of this year, the developer of the
Arden PUD, Highland Dunes Associates Property, LLC (Developer), conveyed a 25
acre Civic Site to Palm Beach County in satisfaction of a condition of approval
of its development order. The Arden PUD is located on the north side of
Southern Boulevard, west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Boulevard. This Civic Site
is located along the Southern Boulevard frontage. The Developer is interested in keeping a
visually appealing landscape plan along its entire Southern Boulevard frontage,
and requested that the County enter into a Maintenance and Easement Agreement
allowing the Homeowners Association to maintain the landscaping. The initial
landscape planting will be performed by the Developer at its expense. The easement area will be 60’ in width and
1520’ in length and will cover an area of approximately two acres. Granting this Easement will relieve the County
from the expense of installing and maintaining the landscaping buffer and
irrigation system along Southern Blvd.
The Maintenance and Easement Agreement will be recorded to provide

4. Staff recommends
motion to authorize: the
County Administrator, or designee, to donate a surplus 2009 Ford Ranger Compact
Pickup with tool box with a value of $4,750 to the School District of Palm
Beach County for use by Seminole Ridge Community High School’s Automotive Academy. SUMMARY:
Seminole Ridge Community High School (School) has an Automotive
Academy which teaches automotive repair and maintenance. Resources for the Automotive Academy program
are limited. The School has been working
for the last year to get accredited through the National Automotive Technicians
Education Foundation (NATEF) which is an automotive training accreditation
program. This accreditation will allow the school access to additional program
funding to help offset the current limited resources and provide the students
with a higher level of training as compared to other schools which may not have
the accreditation or best practices in place. As part of NATEF’s requirements
they are required to have a ten year or newer vehicle that they will use to
educate their students hands-on. The School does not have the funding to
purchase a vehicle and the School District does not have any vehicles which
meet the requirements. Donating a
vehicle will allow students to receive the most effective training possible and
gain experience only received when working with a vehicle, supplementing the
classroom and book education. In
addition, by donating a vehicle the students will be able to learn

Management, as these are future employees. In fact, on an annual basis the
County utilizes students from the Automotive Academy as interns. Over the past
years, Fleet has hired four interns which have become excellent Fleet employees.
Due to the revenue from surplus vehicle sales offsetting Fleet’s annual budget
Staff does not typically support the donation of vehicles. However, in this

Summary: The Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) manages and maintains the CEDS
Committee whose purpose is to oversee and guide Districtwide economic
development planning. The TCRPC region
is comprised of Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River Counties. The CEDS Committee is a requirement of the
U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration and is
comprised of five appointees from each of the participating counties. The TCRPC annually requests the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC), as the appointing authority for Palm Beach County, to
review its existing members, and to either appoint or reappoint members. Staff recommends the appointment and
reappointment of the above five individuals. Andrew Duffell of the Florida
Atlantic Research and Development Authority (FARDA) disclosed in his
application his employer’s existing and pending contracts with the County. Gary Hines of the Business Development Board
of Palm Beach County, Inc. disclosed in his application his employer’s existing
contract with the County. Michael Corbit of CareerSource Palm Beach County
inadvertently omitted disclosure of his employer’s existing contract with the
County. Mr. Corbit subsequently informed
staff, in writing, of his employer’s existing contract with the County. Carol
Thompson is a current County employee. The diversity count of the five
representatives recommended for appointment/reappointment by the BCC is as
follows: Caucasian: 4 (80%) and African-American: 1 (20%). The gender ratio (female:male) is 1:4. Staff has evaluated these contractual
relationships and determined that the above Committee provides no regulation,
oversight, management or policy-setting recommendations regarding any of the
disclosed contractual relationships.
Disclosure of these contractual relationships at a duly noticed public

approval of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and
B) a USDA Intermediary Relending Program (IRP) loan in the amount of
$53,545, contingent upon approval of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Summary: The Company, founded in 2010 provides home health care and related
services to elderly clients or medically compromised individuals. The Company currently rents space in Boca
Raton, but with a large client base in the western portion of the County, the
Company has signed a long term lease at 323 Bacom Point Road, Pahokee, FL,
which is in Census Tract 80.02, and has a poverty rate of 39.8%. The total project cost is $107,090 and the
applicant has committed 10% of the total project cost in the amount of $10,709.
This project is located in an
economically distressed area and supports a Minority Women owned Business
Enterprise (MWBE). Program funds in the
amount of $96,381 are being recommended to be allocated to the Company. The funds will provide working capital,
allowing the principal to expand the business.
This project will meet HUD’s national objective by creating three
full-time jobs. The loan project was approved by The Loan Review Committee on
September 29, 2016. Upon conceptual approval by the Board of County
Commissioners, the loan package will then be submitted to HUD and USDA for

motion to approve: a three
year Contract for Accounting Services between the Housing Finance Authority of

Poole, LLC (GZW) beginning with the fiscal ended September 30, 2016 and ending
with September 30, 2018 with a first year fee of $36,000 with the subsequent
two years adjusted up or down based on the number of outstanding bond issues. SUMMARY:
The Authority was established by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in
1979 in accordance with Part IV, Chapter 159, Florida Statutes. Section 2-189 of the Palm Beach County Code
of Ordinances, as amended, requires that all contracts of the Authority for the
purchase of goods and services in excess of $10,000 be approved by the BCC. This is a revised Contract which sets forth the
terms under which GZW will provide accounting services to the Authority. The need to incorporate new guidelines issued
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants have necessitated
revising and resigning the Contract during its last renewal period without any
changes to the term, the scope or the compensation. GZW was selected by the Authority to provide
accounting services pursuant to a public Request for Accounting Services
process on August 14, 2009. The initial
Contract provides for a three year term and up to two successive three year
renewals. The initial Contract was
approved by the BCC on October 6, 2009 (R2009-1628), the first renewal was
approved on July 16, 2013 (R2013-0907), and the second and final renewal of the
Contract was approved by the BCC on November 3, 2015 (R2015-1561). The revised
Contract was executed by the Authority on November 18, 2016 subject to approval
by the BCC. No Match from County General funds is required. (HFA of PBC) Countywide (PFK)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: technical revisions to Palm Beach County’s State
Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program strategies for the 2013-2016 and
2016-2019 Local Housing Assistance Plans (LHAPs); and authorizing the
submission of the revised LHAPs to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation
(FHFC). Summary: On April
16, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the SHIP 2013-2016
LHAP (R2013-0487 and R2013-0488), and on April 19, 2016 the BCC approved the
SHIP 2016-2019 LHAP (R2016-0503). These
LHAPs establish how Palm Beach County utilizes its SHIP allocation for the
fiscal years identified. Staff is
seeking BCC approval of two proposed technical revisions to the two LHAPS,
which have been reviewed by FHFC per the SHIP Program Procedures Manual. FHFC reviewed the proposed changes on October
4, 2016 and classified them as “technical revisions”. FHFC allows the approval of “technical
revisions” to be at the option of the local governing body, whereas
“amendments” are required to be approved by the local governing body. Historically, DES has sought BCC approval of
both “technical revisions” and “amendments” to the LHAPs. The two proposed Technical Revisions to the
attached LHAPs’ strategies in strikethrough/underline format which are
summarized as follows: The first
proposed technical revision to the 2013-2016 LHAP adds the purchase of
condominiums and townhomes as eligible activities under the Purchase Assistance
Program (PAP). Condominiums and
townhomes are more affordable to low and extremely-low income households. Permitting the purchase of these properties
would benefit these income categories.
Currently, 62% of PAP income certified applicants are low and
extremely-low income families. This revision to the PAP strategy in the
2013-2016 LHAP will permit these applicants to secure affordable home ownership
opportunities within these property types.
The second proposed technical revision impacts both the 2013-2016 LHAP
and the 2016-2019 LHAP. This technical
revision brings into consistency the Rental Housing Entry Assistance Strategy
with F.S. 420.9072(10) which restricts long-term rental assistance to only very
low income (50% AMI or below) special needs and homeless households and limits
that assistance to a twelve-month period.
This technical revision does not impact the provision of one-time
assistance payments for security deposits and utility fees or costs for
households earning up to 80% AMI. These
technical revisions were reviewed and approved by the FHFC on October 4,
2016. These are State SHIP Program
grant funds which do not require a local match. Countywide (JB)

motion to approve:
A) an Economic Development Incentive Agreement
with Granite Telecommunications, LLC (Company), for a cash incentive of $25,000
as the local match to be paid according to the State’s schedule for the
Qualified Target Industry Program;
B) a Budget Transfer of $25,000 from the General Fund Contingency Reserves
to the Department of Economic Sustainability Fund Economic Incentive Growth
Program; and
C) a Budget Amendment of $25,000 in the Department of Economic
Sustainability Fund to recognize the funds from the General Fund.
Summary: On July 12, 2016, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) conceptually approved (R2016-0939) an Economic Development
Incentive for the Company totaling $25,000. This Agreement discloses the name of the
Company, Granite Telecommunications, LLC, previously referred to as Project
Chop. The Agreement requires the Company
to make a minimum $600,000 capital investment to expand, build out and renovate
its existing building in West Palm Beach as well as relocating its Regional
Headquarters. The Company will create 50
new full-time jobs over a five year period at an annualized average wage of
$50,675 and a median wage of $60,000.
The Company will retain 60 existing Palm Beach County jobs and the new
and retained jobs must be retained for an additional five years from the date
of the Agreement. The State of Florida
is providing a $250,000 incentive in the form of a Qualified Target Industry
(QTI) Tax Refund. Of this amount,
$200,000 is from the State of Florida and $50,000 is the required 20% match
from local governmental entities. The local share will be split equally between
Palm Beach County and the City of West Palm Beach. The local match from Palm Beach County will be
provided in the form of an Economic Development Grant (cash) in an amount not
to exceed $25,000 over a period of five years provided the project meets the
requirements under the State of Florida and the County. The Grant will be paid according to the
State’s QTI Refund Schedule, and will be secured by a Letter of Credit, Bond,
Corporate Guarantee or equivalent. District 7 (JB)

1. REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff
recommends motion to:
A) waive the Board
of County Commissioner policy that limits advisory board members to eleven
members under Resolution No. R2013-0913; and
B) adopt Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
establishing a seventeen nineteen member Palm Beach County
Infrastructure Surtax Independent Citizen Oversight Committee.
SUMMARY: On November 8, 2016, the voters of Palm Beach
County approved an infrastructure surtax plan for one cent, maximum ten years
beginning January 1, 2017 (or sooner if the surtax generates $2.7 billion
before September 1st of any year), 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 proceeds of such tax would finance the renewal and
replacement of existing capital investments including roadway surfaces,
bridges, drainage improvements, canals, park amenities, and government
buildings, all of which were deferred during the recent recession and remain
outstanding, and projects to maintain levels of service. An independent
oversight committee would be established to ensure that spending is in line
with the statutory requirements. The Resolution establishes the County’s
Infrastructure Surtax Independent Citizen Oversight Committee (Committee). The
Committee will consist of the following: one member appointed by each District
Commissioner; two members nominated by the Business Forum of Palm Beach County;
one member nominated by the Black Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County; one
member nominated by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County; one
member from the Economic Council of Palm Beach County; one member nominated by
the Tri City Education Committee; one member nominated by the Florida
Engineering Society Palm Beach Chapter; one member nominated by the Palm Beach
County City Management Association; one member nominated by the Urban League of
Palm Beach County; two members nominated by the Palm Beach – Treasure Coast
AFL-CIO; and one member nominated by the Associated General Contractors
Association Florida East Coast Chapter.
The Committee will meet monthly, or as needed, issue an annual report,
may make recommendations to the Board, and ensure that the proceeds of the
surtax are expended for the purposes set forth in the ballot measure and are in
compliance with the County’s surtax plan. Countywide (DW)

recommends motion to amend: the 2017 Palm Beach County Legislative Agenda
to address the organizations that can nominate local construction industry representatives
to serve on the Building Code Advisory Board of Palm Beach County (BCAB). SUMMARY: The current language in Chapter
2001-323, Section 6, of the Laws of Florida requires that seven industry
representatives must be nominated by the Construction Industry Management
Council of Palm Beach (CIMC). The CIMC was last active in 2014 and was
dissolved administratively in 2016 by the Florida Division of
Corporations. As a result, County staff
is unable to secure nominations to fill vacant industry seats on BCAB. Because two industry seats are currently
vacant, industry representation on BCAB is lessened and it has become difficult
to establish a quorum in order for BCAB to hear issues, or to offer technical
advisories, evaluate products, or offer interpretations. The proposed changes
to the law are intended allow the seven industry representatives to be
nominated by existing local chapters of national or regional construction
industry trade associations. Countywide (SF)
