Development Center (FFCDC) is located just north of the County’s West Boca
Library and west of County Fire Rescue Station #54,
both County properties front State Road 7, in unincorporated western Boca
Raton. In 1986, the County and FFCDC
entered into a land exchange agreement (R1986-1864), whereby both the County
and FFCDC exchanged parcels and further agreed to assist one another with the
development of their respective properties at no charge. FFCDC is currently re-developing its site to
add square footage and desires to run a storm water drainage
pipe along the northern boundary of the County’s West Boca Library
property. Pursuant to the 1986 agreement, Staff is supportive of allowing this
easement to cross County property at no charge to FFCDC. Placement of the FFCDC
easement area will run mostly north of and adjacent to the County’s existing
Library drainage easement and should not interfere with any future development
of the County property. The pipe
connection will drain into the State Road 7 storm water system. The easement is
approximately 427 feet long by 15 to 22 feet wide and covers an area of 6,596
square feet (.15 acre). This
non-exclusive easement is being granted at no charge

Mortgage Modification Agreement with RPP to correct the amount of the Third
Mortgage; and
C)
receive and file a Subordination Agreement with U.S. Bank
National Association (U.S. Bank).
SUMMARY: On May 17,
2016, the County entered into a Loan Agreement (R2016-0624) with the RPP to provide
a loan of $115,000 in State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program
funds for the construction of 125 affordable rental housing
units to be known as Royal Palm Place. These funds represent the County’s local
match as required under Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s (FHFC) State
Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) Program.
Royal Palm Place is a $30.5 Million project that is receiving its
funding from several different sources. The funding for the development closed
on August 4, 2017. In preparation for
the closing, the parties realized that that County had been
provided with the incorrect amount for the FHFC’s Extremely Low Income
Gap Loan. The error was not substantial
and did not prevent the loan financing for the project from closing, but the
error needs to be corrected. The County’s loan documents reference FHFC’s
Extremely Low Income Gap Loan (the mortgage in third mortgage position) as a
$495,000 loan, when it is actually a $495,900 loan. Amendment 003 to the Loan Agreement and the
First Mortgage Modification Agreement will modify the County’s loan documents
to reference the correct amount for the third mortgage. On July 11, 2017, the
Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved (Agenda Item 3I-4) a Subordination
Agreement with Citibank, N.A., for this project. As the parties prepared for closing, the
County was informed that although Citibank, N.A., would at a later time be the
permanent mortgage holder, U.S. Bank would in fact be the construction lender
for the project and would be in first mortgage position at the time of closing. The Subordination Agreement
was therefore executed by U.S. Bank, not Cititbank, N.A. It is being submitted
to the BCC to receive and file in order to update the BCC as to the identity of
the first mortgage holder for this project.
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 are SHIP grant
funds which require no local match. District 7

non-profit corporation that supports the Guardian Ad Litem Program (GAL) within
the 15th Judicial Circuit.
Speak Up for Kids ensures that GAL can recruit, train and support more
GAL Volunteer Child Advocates and advocates for the abused, abandoned and
neglected children in the County’s dependency system, facilitating their
development, ensuring their right to a safe and permanent home, and building
their future. Speak Up for Kids currently supports GAL with more than 13
full-time and part-time positions, including positions that are grant funded by
the Office of the Florida Attorney General, and is quite familiar with GAL
complexities and strives to have a GAL volunteer, trained and court-appointed,
for all abused, abandoned and neglected children. The Contract will provide one year of funding
to allow Speak Up for Kids to hire and assign two full-time employees, a Child
Advocate Manager (CAM) and an Administrative Specialist (AS), as well as
funding for the positions’ operational expenses, in direct support of GAL. The CAM will assist in alleviating heavy
caseloads of current CAMs, who are appointed in almost
all sheltered cases on a weekly basis.
Additional manpower will not only benefit the
program, but will also benefit child welfare in Palm Beach County. The AS is needed to provide administrative support in the Juvenile

HOMES CRA
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution of the Board that
approves the 2017 Westgate/Belvedere
Homes CRA Community Redevelopment Plan Amendment and establishes a shared
revenue process to start in 2036. SUMMARY: The item before the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) is to consider the approval of the Westgate/Belvedere Homes
Community Redevelopment Agency (Westgate CRA) Amended Plan and extension from
2035 to 2047. Pursuant to BCC Ordinance No. 89-11 and F.S. 163.361, the
Westgate CRA is required to have BCC approval to update and amend the Westgate
CRA Community Redevelopment Plan adopted by the BCC on January 11, 2005 via
Resolution No. 2005-0128. Certain projects, programs, and actions contemplated
in the 2005 Plan are being implemented and will be
continued in the amended version. The 2017 Amended Plan focuses on six
important areas: Economic Development and Redevelopment, Market Positioning,
Housing, Community Improvement, Infrastructure and Public Space Improvements,
and Planning for Redevelopment. In this Plan, the CRA has shifted from a focus
on infrastructure improvements to economic growth and vertical redevelopment.
The Plan provides a framework to develop programs and strategies to incentivize
development and investment in an effort to increase the tax base and revitalize
the area. To develop the Amended Plan, the CRA met with several county staff
individually and hosted three public outreach meetings and presentations in an
effort to gather input and support. At the April 25, 2017 workshop, the Amended
Plan was presented to the BCC and no changes were
recommended. The Local Planning Agency reviewed the Amended Plan at their
regular meeting on May 12, 2017 and determined that it is consistent with the
policies and objectives set forth by the Comprehensive Plan. No changes were recommended by the LPA. The Westgate/Belvedere Homes
CRA Board approved the final draft of the Amended Plan at their June 12, 2017
regular meeting. At the August 15, 2017 meeting, the BCC continued the public
hearing on the Amended Plan at the request of County Administration. Staff subsequently met with Westgate CRA
staff to review a shared tax increment-financing plan for the 12-year extension
period beginning in 2036 through 2047.
If approved by the BCC, the yearly tax increment the County would remit
to the Redevelopment Trust Fund would be as follows: seventy-five percent from 2036-2039; fifty percent from 2040-2044 and twenty-five percent from
2045 until the CRA sunsets in 2047. The
Resolution adopting the 2017 Amended Plan establishes the shared revenue

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) negotiated
settlement offer in the amount of $5,000 for the full satisfaction of two
Mortgage loans granted to Thomas Stewart on December 7, 2006; and
B) Satisfaction of
Mortgages.
SUMMARY: On December 7, 2006, Thomas Stewart received assistance under the
County’s Purchase Assistance Program to help him acquire and rehabilitate his
home at 3901 36th Ct, #104B, in West Palm Beach. In exchange for this assistance, Palm Beach
County holds a second mortgage in the amount of $27,700 and a
third mortgage in the amount of $4,920.
At that time, he also took out a first mortgage on the property from
Wells Fargo Bank, N. A., to enable him to purchase the home. In June 2011, the bank released the first
mortgage and the County’s second mortgage then became the first mortgage lien
on the property. In 2016, the
condominium association, Piper Village West, Inc., filed for foreclosure
because of unpaid condominium assessments. In February 2017, Piper Village West
obtained a summary judgment of foreclosure against condominium owner Thomas
Stewart and against mortgage holder Palm Beach County for its $4,920 mortgage.
The condominium association received a certificate of title to the property from
the court on April 3, 2017. As a first mortgage lien, the County’s $27,700
mortgage is superior to the condominium association’s lien and therefore was
not included in the foreclosure action. The condominium association argues that
the County’s $27,700 mortgage is no longer a valid mortgage and the association
has stated its intention to file a quiet title action against the County in
order to have the court rule on the viability of the County’s mortgage. The
County Attorney’s office believes the County’s mortgage is valid and continues
as a lien on the property. The County will have to counter a quiet title action
by filing to foreclose on the property. The condominium is currently vacant but
in need of an estimated $50,000 worth of repairs. The Property Appraiser has
estimated the condominium’s market value to be $34,000. The condominium
association has offered to pay the County $5,000 to satisfy the County
mortgage, and has requested a release of both the existing lien and the one
that was foreclosed.
Staff has evaluated the legal costs associated with a quiet title action
and a foreclosure action as well as the cost of rehabilitation, and is
recommending acceptance of $5,000 in exchange for the satisfaction of both
mortgages. The original source of funds was from the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program which required
no local match. District 7 (JB)
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve satisfaction of 29 mortgages received from homeowners in exchange for
funding under the State Housing Initiatives Program (SHIP); and
B) authorize County Administrator, or designee, to
execute these satisfactions of mortgage and other homeowners whose
affordability periods are as described herein.
SUMMARY: On May 18, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved revisions to
the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) (R2004-0945) which revised the
affordability period of the Second Mortgage subsidy for the Purchase Assistance
strategy from ten to 30 years. Over the
following seven months period, 29 SHIP Homebuyer Agreements stated an affordability
period of ten years,
while the recorded Second Mortgage reflected an affordability period of 30
years. The satisfaction of these 29 Second Mortgages will recognize the
affordability period stated in the Homebuyer Agreement. Countywide (JB)

motion to approve: Fiscal Year 2017-2018 State Housing Initiatives Partnership budget
allocations for affordable housing strategies as follows:
·

·
Owner Occupied Housing
Rehabilitation $1,000,000
·
Developer Rental Housing
Assistance $ 700,000
·

·

·

·

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County receives an annual allocation from the State of
Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) through the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program to implement various affordable housing
programs and other related activities.
On April 19, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners approved the SHIP
Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) for fiscal years 2016-2017, 2017-2018 and
2018–2019 (R2016-0535). For Fiscal Year
2017-2018, Palm Beach County is to receive $4,515,043, an approximate $2.1
million reduction from the previous year. SHIP regulations require that a minimum
of 65% of a local jurisdiction’s SHIP funding be allocated
to homeownership activities, and 20% of the fiscal year’s funding allocation be
expended on special needs households. The Developer Rental Housing Assistance
funds will be offered through a Request for Proposal
and will serve as the County’s Local Area of Opportunity contribution for the
FHFC’s 9% Housing Tax Credit Program. The local government contribution for
this program may only be provided to one affordable
rental housing project and may be in the form of a cash grant or a loan. This
program is highly competitive, and the provision of a local contribution will
increase the probability of a County supported project receiving the 9% tax
credit. If more than one local
government within the County provides the local match, the project will be selected by the State through a random lottery. This is the second consecutive year the State
has offered this program. The State
expects to issue its Request for Applications in October 2017 with a due date
in December 2017. In accordance with the
SHIP regulations, the funds are required to be encumbered
within two years and expended within three years of the allocation. These
are State SHIP funds which require no local match.

C. RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve
Affiliation Agreement for Student Experiential Training, with Palm Beach Atlantic
University, Inc., allowing psychology students obtaining graduate degrees to
gain clinical experience in employee and family counseling under the
supervision of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Manager for the period
August 21, 2017 through August 20, 2018 at no cost to the County; and
B) authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to execute
any future Affiliation Agreements, or amendments, between the County and Palm
Beach Atlantic University, Inc. related to clinical experience in the EAP
Division on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners.
SUMMARY: The Risk Management Department, through its
EAP Division, seeks to work with Palm Beach Atlantic University to establish
itself as an authorized counselor training facility for students who are
working to achieve degrees in psychology, social work, or similar fields of
educational study. Counseling programs require clinical experience in order to
meet degree and licensing requirements. In addition to the students gaining
valuable experience, the EAP Division would benefit from increased ability to
offer programs and counseling to County employees and their families. The
initial term is for the period August 21, 2017 through August 20, 2018 with
three automatic annual renewal options. No
County funding is required under this Agreement. Countywide

authorization to:
acquire professional services for the Pennock Point Drainage Study (Project).
SUMMARY: Authorization
will allow staff to utilize the existing Annual Civil Engineering Design
Contract, R2016-0310, to authorize Mock Roos and Associates, Inc. (MRA) to
perform the Project. There
is a pipe culvert under Old Fort Jupiter Road (private road) that Palm Beach
County (County) replaced back in 1979.
The pipe is now failing and needs to be replaced. The County appears to have maintenance
obligations of this pipe due to the County’s replacement in 1979. A previous drainage study of the area
conducted in 1989 references a possible need to upsize this pipe to properly drain the area.
The Project is needed to determine the
contributing drainage area and the design flow, in order to properly size the
replacement pipe. The cost of the Project is estimated
at less than $50,000. District 1 (LBH)

motion to:
A) accept perpetual easement for a drainage pond
necessary for the construction of roadway improvements on Silver Beach Road
from east of Congress Avenue to east of Old Dixie Highway / President Barack
Obama Highway (Project); and
B) approve payment of $1,600,000 for said perpetual
easement.
SUMMARY: Approval of the negotiated amount will allow the Engineering Department
to acquire a 4.252 acre perpetual easement to be used
to construct a drainage retention pond for the project. The project includes
the reconstruction of Silver Beach Road to a three-lane undivided roadway with
a four foot wide bike lane and a six foot wide
sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. Two appraisals were
obtained with an average fair market value of $1,434,700. The property
owner’s original counter-offer was $1,844,600, not including fees and costs. To
avoid the additional costs normally associated with an eminent domain filing,
the Engineering Department staff negotiated a purchase amount of $1,600,000
inclusive of the property owner’s attorney fees, engineering fees, and
appraisal costs in the amount of $76,770.50. After
fees and costs are subtracted, the purchase represents
approximately 107% of the average of the two appraisals. However, pursuant to
Palm Beach County Administrative Code Section 2, 305.08.1, regarding the
negotiated purchase amount, BCC approval is required when the purchase amount
exceeds $250,000. In accordance with Palm Beach County ordinance (2009-052),
a supermajority vote (5 votes) is required by the BCC
for all purchases of real property that require BCC approval. The
construction budget is $5.4 million. District 1 District 7 (LBH)
E. WESTGATE/BELVEDERE
HOMES CRA
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida approving the
Westgate/Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment Agency’s (CRA) Fiscal Year
2018 Budget for its Redevelopment Trust (operating) Fund, Capital Improvements
Fund (formerly Construction Fund), Sinking Fund and Reserve Fund. SUMMARY: The budget, in the amount
of $3,590,959, is composed of four components. The first component, the
Redevelopment Trust Fund, in the amount of $2,428,897,
consists of the CRA’s Annual Tax Increment Financing and balance brought
forward from previous years. The second component, the Capital Improvement
Fund, in the amount of $632,000, consists of balances
of reimbursable grants awarded to the CRA by County, State, and Federal
governments for construction activities. The third component is the Sinking
Fund, in the amount of $262,000, which consists of one
annual payment from Tax Increment Financing revenues to repay the revenue bond
reissued in 1999 to retrofit infrastructure in the Westgate area. The last
component is the Reserve Fund, in the amount of $268,062, which consists of a
one year security payment (principal and interest), held in escrow for the
March 1, 1999 Redevelopment Revenue Refunding Bonds in the amount of
$3,380,000. The Tax Increment Financing revenues will be used
for: 1) obligations to Florida Power & Light for street lighting; 2) interest and principal payments due
under the $3.38 Million bond issue; and 3) CRA operations and other projects.
The 2018 Budget decreases by one point eight percent (1.8%) because the CRA had
less grant funds to carry forward. Districts 2

procedures for Code Enforcement Special Magistrate hearings and for modifying

sets forth rules and procedures for Code Enforcement Special Magistrate
hearings and the modification of fines and liens resulting from enforcement
hearings. Resolution 99-2057 provided that liens that
had been sent to the Office of Financial Management & Budget (OFMB) for
collection could not be modified by a Special Magistrate. This Resolution allows a Special Magistrate
to modify any Code Enforcement fine or lien as long as the violations on the
property have been corrected and the fines do not
result from a repeat violation. This
Resolution will streamline the modification process for all Code Enforcement
fines and liens, since Special Magistrates already consider modification
applications for fines other than those sent to OFMB for collection. Countywide
