SUMMARY:  Palm Beach County is eligible for federal funding to develop and execute a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness over a two year period. The Division of Human Services (DHS), serving as the Lead Agency must apply for this federal funding. The grant application has two phases for submission and award. For Phase I, DHS is requesting $300,000 in federal funding to support the development of a Youth Needs Assessment Plan. Phase I funding will include the distribution of stipends to youth who will assist in the collection of data and analysis related to ending youth homelessness. A $75,000 (25%) match is required. DHS anticipates receiving $44,000 in community support towards the match, leaving $31,000 as in-kind (staffing cost included in FY 2017 budget). Phase II funding is contingent upon the approval and award of Phase I. If Palm Beach County is awarded Phase I funding, an application for Phase II funding will be submitted to HUD to request the fully designated funding allocation as determined by HUD. The start date of Phase I funding will be based upon receipt of funding by HUD. The emergency signature process was utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the application through the regular Board of County Commissioner’s agenda process.

2.         Staff recommends motion to receive and file: Amendment No. 1 to the Financial Assistance Award (R2016-0568) with the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for infrastructure improvements at the Lake Worth Park of Commerce.  The grant provides funding to upgrade Boutwell Road from 10th Avenue North to Joyce Avenue, and to extend water and sewer lines along Boutwell Road from Joyce Avenue to 4th Avenue North. Summary: In accordance with County PPM CW-0-051, all delegated contracts, agreements, and grants must be submitted by the initiating Department as a Receive and File agenda item.  The document has been executed on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) by the Mayor, in accordance with Resolution(s)/Agenda Item(s) 5E-1 as approved by the BCC on August 18, 2015.  This Amendment provided a time extension for the acquisition of easements and rights-of-way necessary for the implementation of infrastructure improvements at the Lake Worth Park of Commerce.  This executed document is now being submitted to the BCC to receive and file. These are Federal EDA funds which require a local match to be provided by the City of Lake Worth as the Lead Applicant.  No County local match is required. District 3 (JB)

A) Amendment No. 2 to the Financial Assistance Award (R2016-0568) with the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and the City of Lake Worth providing a reverter-related reimbursement provision for two of the twelve properties; and

 

B) an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Lake Worth providing for indemnification of the County by the City as it relates to Amendment No. 2 to the Financial Assistance Award.

 

Summary: On February 12, 2016, the City and County received an EDA grant and subsequently executed a Financial Assistance Award (R2016-0568) for the receipt of $1,389,100 for infrastructure improvements to the Lake Worth Park of Commerce.  The grant provides funding to upgrade Boutwell Road from 10th Avenue North to Joyce Avenue, and to extend water and sewer lines along Boutwell Road from Joyce Avenue to 4th Avenue North.  Standard right-of-way deeds, settlement agreements, or warranty deeds were needed to transfer property from private owners to the City in order to make infrastructure improvements.  On June 29, 2016, the parties executed Amendment No. 1 to the Financial Assistance Award to extend the acquisition deadline of necessary property transfers from August 1, 2016, to October 12, 2016.  Two of the properties obtained by the City through standard right-of-way deeds contained language allowing for the reverter of the property back to the transferring property owners if the property was not used for right-of-way purposes.  Required by the EDA, Amendment No. 2 to the Financial Assistance Award allows EDA to seek reimbursement of grant funds from the City and County if either of the two properties reverts back to the transferring owner at any time over the next 20 years.  The reimbursement provision in Amendment No. 2 only applies to the properties obtained by right-of-way deeds which include a reverter clause and their respective proportionate share of grant funds.  The Interlocal Agreement indemnifies the County in the unlikely event the City does not use the property for roadway purposes, the property reverts back to the transferring owners, and EDA seeks reimbursement of the related proportionate share of grant funds. No County local match is required. District 3 (JB)

S.        FIRE RESCUE

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: an Emergency Services Agreement for Mutual Assistance, Automatic Aid, and Dispatch Services with the City of West Palm Beach (City) effective March 14, 2016, through September 30, 2026.  SUMMARY:  In an effort to enhance the provision of fire-rescue services, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the Fire Rescue Department to provide countywide communications services effective June 1, 2005. The Agreement provides for a contractual commitment for dispatch services to the City as part of the Countywide Common Dispatch program along with providing the mechanism for implementing mutual assistance/automatic aid (closest unit response).

The current Emergency Services Agreement for Mutual Assistance, Automatic Aid, and Dispatch Services expired on March 13, 2016. The retroactive effective date is a result of the City’s delay in the delivery of the signed Agreement. The proposed Agreement is for a ten year period through September 30, 2026.

SUMMARY:  In accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, all new and existing Medicare providers are required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to complete a Medicare Enrollment Application to revalidate the provider information on file with CMS. Approval of the revalidation enrollment application will prevent the deactivation of our Medicare enrollment allowing the County to continue to submit fire rescue emergency transport claims directly to Medicare for those patients with Medicare insurance. The enrollment package requires the County to directly appoint an Authorized Official to enroll the County (Fire Rescue) in the Medicare program, to make changes or updates to the County’s status in the Medicare program, and to bind and commit the County to fully abide by the statutes, regulations, and program instructions of the Medicare program.

B.        ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: revised Impact Fee Affordable Housing Assistance Program (IFAHAP) Guidelines. Summary: On November 17, 2009 (R2009-2013), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorized the use of impact fee investment earnings from roads, parks, and public buildings for affordable housing projects. On September 14, 2010, the BCC approved the Impact Fee Affordable Housing Assistance Program Guidelines which established eligible uses of the funding; unit affordability standards and the funding request approval process. Staff has processed six projects under the Program for BCC approval.  In order to improve how future projects are processed and to clarify the applicable Program requirements, staff is proposing major revisions to the IFAHAP Guidelines.  The revisions include: an Introduction and Purpose, definitions of certain terms, expansion of the operating procedures for the Program, expansion of the rental housing requirements, expansion of the for-sale housing requirements and expansion of the individual homeowner requirements.  The significant changes in each of the sections are listed in Attachment 1 to the Agenda Item and the updated IFAHAP Guidelines are provided in Attachment 2 to the Agenda Item. Some of the key recommended changes include raising the occupant household qualifying income level from 120% to 140% of area median income, instituting developers and homeowners repayment requirements in instances of defaults or voluntary withdrawals from the Program, requiring new affordability periods for successor homeowners and removing the Commission on Affordable Housing from the funding recommendation process.

                        1.         Staff requests Board action to ratify or reject: Side Agreement entitled “Management Proposal for the Board of County Commissioners Ocean Lifeguards and Lieutenants” (Side Agreement) with the Communication Workers of America Local 3181 (CWA), providing for the creation of certain new job classifications and minimum entrance requirements, certain salary increases, a change requiring EMT certifications, provisions for a defined period of time to obtain EMT certification for non-certified personnel, provisions for layoff of personnel if certifications are not obtained, provision for the County’s Human Resources Director to execute the Application for Special Risk Class Membership under the Florida Retirement System (FRS) (including Form 405) for subject personnel following the completion of all required training, purchase of necessary equipment, and upon performance of new duties associated with new job classifications, and  staff support of legislation that includes subject personnel as a special risk occupation, as well as inclusion among those occupations protected as a First Responder. The total estimated cost for the first full year of implementation, if FRS approval of Special Risk Class is obtained for the subject personnel, is $783,702, which will increase annually. SUMMARY: At the September 27, 2016 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, staff was directed to evaluate and negotiate pay and job classifications for certain Ocean Rescue personnel, and bring back a comprehensive package for Board consideration and direction. The Side Agreement was collectively bargained with the CWA and ratified by the bargaining unit employees. Matters pertaining to changes in salary and/or job classifications are subject to collective bargaining. If the Board ratifies the Side Agreement and the FRS ultimately approves the subject personnel for the Special Risk Class of membership, the estimated cost for the first full year of implementation of the comprehensive total package will be approximately $783,702. The projected cost for FY 2018 is $856,580, and these costs will increase annually subject to Board approved salary increases, and FRS funding requirements. Countywide (DO)
