B) A Subordination Agreement with Citibank, N.A.; and

 

C) Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the aforesaid Subordination Agreement.

 

SUMMARY: On September 1, 2015, (Agenda Item 3I-5), the Board of County Commissioners authorized the allocation of SHIP funds as the required local match under Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s (FHFC) Housing Tax Credit Program.  The Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) provided SPC a conditional award for a $115,000 loan subject to approval of their Calusa Estates affordable housing project by FHFC under the Housing Tax Credit Program.  The project, which will contain 114 affordable rental units, was delayed due to FHFC funding approvals, but it has since been approved and is ready to proceed.  The County’s funds will be used for construction costs and will be secured by a mortgage and promissory note.  The development will achieve a Florida Green Building Coalition Certification and will include a clubhouse, computer lab, splash pad, and resident programs including an after school program, literacy program and employment assistance program. The Loan Agreement requires SPC to pay annual interest payments on the loan over 30 years with the entire principal due at the end of the term. The Calusa Estates project will be located at the northeast corner of State Road 80 and SW 16th Street in Belle Glade and has a total project cost of $23.9M.  All 114 affordable rental units are intended to be rented to households whose incomes are at or below 60% of the area median income for a period of 30 years.  Citibank, N.A. has provided first mortgage financing for this project in the amount of $13,810,000.  SPC has requested that the County subordinate its $115,000 mortgage to Citibank’s first mortgage by means of the Subordination Agreement. This Subordination Agreement, unlike standard subordination agreements, would among other matters: 1) require that all proceeds that could be received by the County in the event of the condemnation of the property be paid to the first mortgage holder; and 2) prohibits the County from commencing, or joining other creditors in commencing, bankruptcy proceedings against the borrower.  Delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the subordination agreement, subject to the County Attorney’s approval of its content, is requested to enable a timely response when the closing is scheduled. These are SHIP funds which require no local match. District 6 (JB)

The development will include a clubhouse, pool, Energy Star appliances and provide Resident Programs including after school programs for children, literacy training and an employment assistance program. These funds represent the County’s local match as required under FHFC’s State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) Program.  Royal Palm Place is a $30.5 Million project and Citibank, N.A. will be providing first mortgage financing.  The amount of this first mortgage has increased from $14,500,000 to an amount not to exceed $17,000,000.  FHFC will be providing second and third mortgage financing as follows: a SAIL Program loan of $4,750,000 and an Extremely Low Income Gap Loan of $495,000.  The City will be providing fourth mortgage financing in the amount of $300,000 and the County’s mortgage securing the $115,000 in SHIP funding will be in fifth position. On May 17, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (Agenda Item 3I-1) delegated authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute subordination agreements with Citibank and FHFC. The Subordination Agreement with Citibank includes terms that: 1) require all proceeds that could be received by the County in the event of the condemnation of the property be paid to the first mortgage holder; and 2) prohibit the County from commencing, or joining other creditors in commencing, bankruptcy proceedings against the borrower. The project site is owned by the West Palm Beach Housing Authority and is leased to Royal Palm Place, Ltd.  An Easement Agreement exists between the West Palm Beach Housing Authority and Silver Palm Place Associates, Ltd., the developer of the adjoining property.  The County has a mortgage on the Silver Palm Place property.  The First Amendment to the Easement Agreement will allow Royal Palm Place, Ltd. necessary ingress, egress, transport and utility rights in the easement.  A joinder by the County consenting to the First Amendment to the Easement Agreement is necessary since the County is a mortgage holder.  This request for approval of delegation of authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute Subordination Agreements with Citibank, FHFC, and the City, the execution of the Joinder by SPP Mortgagee, subject to the County Attorney’s approval of their content, is requested to enable a timely response when the closing is scheduled.

SUMMARY:  The Building Code Advisory Board (BCAB) was established by a Special Act of the Florida Legislature in 1974, and amended in 2001. The term of office for Board members is three years with no limit to the number of terms a member may serve. The Board is comprised of 16 members: one registered architect appointed from nominees submitted by the Palm Beach Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA); one professional engineer appointed from nominees submitted by the Palm Beach Chapter of the Florida Engineering Society; seven members appointed from nominees submitted by the Construction Industry Management Council of Palm Beach County (CIMC) and seven Building Officials, one from each commission district, appointed from nominees submitted by the Building Officials Association of Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach Chapter of the AIA has nominated Kristin Materka to be appointed as the Architect in Seat 12. This Advisory Board has 16 seats, 13 currently filled and three vacancies, and a diversity count of Caucasian: 11 (84%), African-American: 1 (8%) and Asian-American: 1 (8%). The gender ratio (male:female) is 13:0. The nominee is a Caucasian female. On June 6, 2017, the Governor approved a local bill which eliminates the CIMC as the nominating body for the seven industry nominees and replaces it with local chapters of national or regional construction industry trade organizations.

The County has now obtained the requisite state and federal permits for a 40-slip dock on behalf of Holy Trinity.

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services Agreement with the Town of Jupiter for additional personnel to be funded through the Jupiter Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) based on the “Full Cost Formula”, which the amount for FY 2018 will be $406,615.  SUMMARY:  On November 19, 2013, the Board approved an Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services (R2013-1670) with the Town of Jupiter (Town) for a term of ten years. The Town adopted Ordinance Number 42-13 to extend inclusion in the MSTU through tax year 2022 to fund fire rescue services through September 30, 2023. On February 7, 2017, the Board approved a First Amendment (R2017‑0209) to increase the number of fire rescue personnel to be on duty at all times. This proposed Second Amendment will increase the number of fire rescue personnel on duty at all times from 18 to 19 beginning on October 1, 2017, and will require four additional positions in order to cover the various shifts. The total estimated cost for these four new positions for FY 2018 to the Jupiter MSTU is $406,615, and is included in the proposed FY 2018 Jupiter MSTU budget. An increase to the complement for the four new positions is also included in the proposed FY 2018 Jupiter MSTU budget. The Town’s contract price for this Agreement, as amended, is calculated on a “Full-Cost Formula” methodology as described in the Agreement. The “Full‑Cost Formula” methodology is calculated using a percentage of the Battalion 1 budget based on the percentage of Unit Responses within the Jupiter MSTU boundaries. The percentage of Unit Responses used for developing the FY 2018 Jupiter MSTU budget is 67.44%. This proposed Second Amendment will increase the Fire Rescue personnel complement beginning in FY 2018 by four Firefighter/Paramedic positions for an estimated cost to the main Fire/Rescue MSTU of $602,929, of which 67.44% or $406,615, will be funded by a transfer from the Jupiter MSTU in FY 2018. This arrangement also benefits the main Fire/Rescue MSTU by the provision of additional personnel to serve the Battalion 1 area.

4.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A)  approve the Five Year Road Program (Program) Findings of Fact (per Article 12.M.3.A of the Unified Land Development Code) with a majority plus one vote that the delay of the three intersection projects (Atlantic Avenue and Florida’s Turnpike, Sandalfoot Boulevard and State Road 7 and SW 3rd Street and State Road 7) will not result in any link or intersection on the road network operating at greater than the adopted level of service, and no development projects are phased to this construction; and

B) adopt the non-ad valorem special assessment roll and specify the unit of measurement and amount of the assessment; and

 

C) authorize the Mayor to certify the non-ad valorem assessment roll on electronic media to the Tax Collector pursuant to Chapter 197, Florida Statutes.

 

SUMMARY: On December 16, 1997, the Board approved Resolution 97-2152, and on November 15, 2011, the Board approved Resolution 2011-1833, expressing the intent of Palm Beach County to use the Uniform Method of collecting non-ad valorem special assessments.  The Uniform Method in Resolution 97-2152 provides for inclusion of water and street improvement project special assessments on the tax bill. The Uniform Method in Resolution 2011-1833 provides for the abatement of nuisance conditions. Placing these accounts on the tax bill reduces administrative (including collections) costs and provides for a more efficient collection of amounts due to the County. A public hearing is required to implement this collection method for new special assessment projects to be included on the 2017 tax bill.  Countywide (PK)

On March 29, 2017, the Department of Economic Sustainability (DES) issued Request for Proposals DES.2017.1 (RFP) making available $1,186,954 in HOME CHDO set-aside funds and up to $158,984 in operating funds to Palm Beach County Certified CHDOs for the creation of affordable rental or homeownership housing through new construction or acquisition and/or rehabilitation of residential property.  A selection committee consisting of five voting members met at a public meeting held on June 7, 2017, and recommended that: a) Neighborhood Renaissance, Inc., be awarded $532,187 for four of eight townhomes to be known as Art Lofts at West Village to be constructed at 110 North F Street (NE Corner of North F Street and Lucerne Avenue) in Lake Worth; and b) Community Land Trust (CLT) of Palm Beach County, Inc., be awarded $654,767 in set-aside funds and $95,000 in operating funds for the construction of six single family homes and one duplex, on scattered sites in Palm Springs. The Art Lofts at West Village project leverages 20% of HOME funding with 80% of funding from other sources for a total development cost of $2,625,700. The CLT project leverages 42% of HOME funding with 58% of funding from other resources for a total development cost of $1,800,000.  All funded housing units including the four townhomes, the six single family homes and the duplex will be sold to households with incomes no greater than 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).  It is anticipated that the County will be required to subordinate its mortgages to mortgages held by other lenders in order for these projects to proceed.  The required subordination agreements are likely to include terms that: 1) require all proceeds that could be received by the County in the event of the condemnation of the property be paid to the first mortgage holder; and 2) prohibit the County from commencing, or joining other creditors in commencing, bankruptcy proceedings against the borrower.  To facilitate project implementation, staff is requesting the authorization for the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the funding agreements and related documents. These are Federal HOME Program grant funds which require a 25% local match provided by State SHIP funds. District 3 (JB)

D.        ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY (Cont’d)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: payment to the Palm Beach County Tax Collector for the delinquent property taxes, interest, and fees on County-owned property in the Brook’s Subdivision currently estimated at $147,297.96. SUMMARY:  Between August 2007 and August 2009, the Board of County Commissioners approved numerous agreements with the Brook’s Subdivision, LLC and the Northwest Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Corporation (the managing partner of Brook’s Subdivision, LLC). These Agreements provided funding from the Federal HOME Program and the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program totaling $1,414,500 to be used for site acquisition and the construction of eighteen homes that were to be sold to very low, low and moderate income households on property now known as Brook’s Subdivision. Of that amount, $786,778.51 was expended to acquire the property and complete on-site infrastructure before the project stalled. The default provisions of the Conditional Grant Agreement required that the 18 SHIP assisted homes be completed and sold to eligible homebuyers by December 31, 2010.  After Brook’s failed to construct any of the homes, on February 7, 2014, the County initiated action to foreclose on the property.  The Final Judgment of Foreclosure was entered by the Court on February 11, 2016, and a Certificate of Title issued to the County on April 6, 2016, for 18 lots within the subdivision. Prior to the County’s receipt of the property, taxes went unpaid by Brook’s starting in 2009, and along with accrued interest and fees now total an estimated $147,297.96.  Approval of this item will authorize payment from the Workforce Housing Program Trust Fund to pay the taxes in order for a new project to move forward.  Staff intends to issue a Request for Proposals to procure a developer to build single-family homes on the County-owned lots and to sell those homes to eligible buyers. The project will result in the new construction of 18 workforce/affordable housing to buyers with varying incomes but no greater than 140% AMI.  District 7 (JB)

 

 

E.        ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: 

 

A) waiver of PPM CW-F-049 (Contract Development PPM) with regard to the indemnity provision in a license agreement with Florida East Coast Railway, LLC (FEC); 

 

B) license agreement with FEC in the amount of $680,898.25 for reconstruction of the Silver Beach Road railroad DOT/AAR crossing number 272389V to accommodate the widening of Silver Beach Road from east of Congress Avenue to President Barack Obama Highway/Old Dixie Highway (Project); and

 

C) waiver of the Contract Development PPM with regard to all future agreements with FEC that are in substantially similar form as this FEC license agreement.

 

SUMMARY:  Approval of this agreement allows FEC to remove and rebuild the existing railroad-crossing surface at Silver Beach Road. This is required to accommodate the Project. Palm Beach County (County) is obligated to fund all maintenance and improvements associated with the crossing. The cost of construction is $680,898.25. The agreement requires the County to indemnify FEC for “assessments or other charges of any kind whatsoever” arising out of the crossing site. Pursuant to the Contract Development PPM, the County could not legally agree to this indemnity provision. However, a recent Florida Supreme Court decision recognizes that contractual indemnity arrangements are enforceable, thus Staff is requesting approval of a waiver of the Contract Development PPM in this instance. The Contract Development PPM will be reviewed and revised, as appropriate. District 7 (LBH)

F.         AIRPORTS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: First Amendment to Amended and Restated Fixed Base Operator Lease Agreement (Lease) (R2016-0759) with Galaxy Aviation of Lantana, Inc. d/b/a Stellar Aviation of South Palm Beach (Stellar), removing the requirement to construct an aviation fuel farm and aircraft wash rack; providing for the extension of construction deadlines; requiring Stellar to pay the County a fuel farm recovery fee in the amount of $.08 per gallon of aviation fuel sold (Recovery Fee); providing opportunity for rental relief based on temporary flight restrictions (TFRs); and modifying the lease term to provide 30 years from substantial completion of the construction of a new terminal building or October 1, 2020, whichever occurs first. SUMMARY:  Stellar provides fixed based operator services at the Palm Beach County Park Airport (Lantana Airport) pursuant to the Lease. Stellar is a Florida corporation with its principal place of business in Lantana, Florida. The Lease requires Stellar to build a fuel farm and wash rack; however, the County received a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation, which will fund 80% of the cost of the improvements. Stellar will be responsible for the operation, maintenance and management of the fuel farm and wash rack and will pay the County the Recovery Fee, which will allow the County to recover its share of the cost of the improvements and provide for future repairs. The fuel farm will include a self-service fuel system, which will provide airport users with a lower cost fuel option. The County will be responsible for the cost of repairs to the fuel farm in excess of $15,000 per year, which will be reimbursed through rental credit.  Because Stellar will not be responsible for funding the fuel farm, the Amendment also provides for a reduction to the Minimum Capital Investment from $5,525,000 to $4,750,000. The Lease requires Stellar to complete renovations to the existing terminal building by October 1, 2020, and construction of a new terminal building by October 1, 2019. The Amendment modifies the requirement to provide for the renovation of the existing terminal to be completed by October 1, 2019, and construction of the new terminal to be completed by October 1, 2020. The Lease provides Stellar with 30 years to amortize its investment in the construction of a new terminal building. The Amendment updates the term to reflect the new construction deadline of October 1, 2020.  The Amendment authorizes the Department to further extend construction deadlines based on impacts of TFRs imposed during Presidential visits to Mar-a-Lago and authorizes Stellar to provide appropriate rental relief to commercial tenants subject to the approval of the Department.
