A) ratify Mayor’s signature on Cooperative Agreement No. FF204K174023 with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allowing the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) to receive revenue for processing and resolving housing discrimination complaints for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 in the total amount of $247,850;

The emergency signature process was utilized because there was insufficient time to meet the application deadline under the regular agenda process. The Agreement amount of $247,850 represents a $47,850 increase over the budgeted $200,000, and includes $164,100 for case processing; $28,750 for training funds; and $55,000 for administrative costs.

B) approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract for Consulting/Professional Services with Christians Reaching Out to Society, Inc. (CROS) (R2017-0622), to amend contract dates, for the provision of  gleaning services during peak season.

 

SUMMARY: On April 2, 2013, the BCC approved a list of pre-qualified public and non-profit agencies to provide various training services for the Community Services Department (Agenda Item 3E-6). Credit Card Management Services, Inc. is one of the agencies selected as a qualified vendor. In addition, on February 7, 2017, the BCC approved a list of six pre-qualified non-profit agencies to provide various training services. Both Community Caring Center of Greater Boynton Beach, Inc. and Business Loan Fund of the Palm Beaches, Inc. are agencies selected as qualified vendors (Agenda Item 3E-1). Michelle Davis, employee of Community Caring Center of Greater Boynton Beach Inc. is a member of the Community Action Advisory Board (CAAB). Both items delegated signature authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute contracts and amendments for this purpose. These contracts are being submitted in accordance with Countywide PPM No. CW-O-051 to allow the Clerk and Comptroller’s Office to receive and file them.

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity changed the Community Services Block Grant period from 12 months to 18 months to accommodate a new grant cycle, beginning April 1, 2018. The extension of the prior year grant and the change in grant period resulted in a late execution of the 2017 Community Services Block Grant. A bridge agreement was executed to allow Community Services to continue to serve qualified clients. The delay in the grant being executed, as well as the grant period changes, resulted in an error in the contract dates. The amount of the contract remains the same. The training funds are provided by the Community Services Block Grant. No County funds are required. (Community Action Program) Countywide (HH)

SUMMARY:  These contracts represent two types of services provided by the agency. The Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County, Inc. (DAF), with allocated Financially Assisted Agencies (FAA) Program funding, will provide medical detox and substance abuse crisis stabilization services for adolescents and adults who exhibit symptoms of withdrawal from drug and alcohol abuse. On July 11, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners approved funding allocations for the FAA Program. Subsequently, Gratitude House, Inc. announced the closure of its substance abuse treatment programs for clients due to licensing issues. This had a direct impact on two programs funded under the County’s FAA program. As a result of this action, staff terminated the contract with Gratitude House, Inc. and negotiated with DAF to reallocate $55,907, which was initially allocated to Gratitude House, Inc., dedicated to pregnant and post-partum clients. This contract will assist in filling the gap created by the closure of the Gratitude House, Inc. The contract being recommended reflects dollar amounts included in the FY 2018 budget. This contract represents $1,313,594, inclusive of the Gratitude House Inc. allocation, of the total FAA funding allocation of $12,496,186. The second contract will allow DAF to address the opioid crisis in Palm Beach County. These funds will be used for the Suboxone Induction Center (SIC), which is a Level 1 short term residential program designed to support opioid treatment programs that have a Suboxone maintenance component attached. DAF will perform a variety of critical assessments, including opioid, clinical, medical, lab, and mental status assessments. The length of stay varies depending on the client’s unique medical needs.

5.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No.1 to the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Agreement for the SunPass Plus Parking Program at Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA), standardizing the adjustment process for transaction fees. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the FDOT Agreement approved by the Board of County Commissioners on November 3, 2009, the Department of Airports pays a transaction fee for each SunPass transaction at PBIA, currently in the amount of $0.1418. The Agreement also provides for an annual adjustment to the fee as determined by a Consumer Price Index (CPI). Amendment No. 1 will change the annual adjustment date to July 1 of each year (previously was contract anniversary date) and changes the particular CPI used.  This amendment will have no impact to parking customers and will not materially change the transaction fee amount paid by the Department.

K.        WATER UTILITIES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Utility Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (At FDOT Expense)” (UWHCA) with Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT). SUMMARY: FDOT is proposing road improvements to State Road 91 (Florida Turnpike) from Lantana Toll Plaza to SR 802 (Lake Worth Road).

In order to include the utility work within the FDOT road improvement project and to provide FDOT the authorization to undertake the relocation of the afore-mentioned facilities, FDOT requires the County to enter into the UWHCA.  Due to the location of the existing infrastructure, FDOT will be undertaking the work at no cost to the County. The relocation plan will be prepared by FDOT’s consultant and construction will be performed by FDOT’s contractor.  This UWHCA requires approval by the Board of County Commissioners due to several amendments to the standard UWHCA form requested by FDOT.

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: partial release of a utility easement over property owned by Gleneagles Country Club, Inc. SUMMARY:  The Water Utilities Department (WUD) has determined that it is in the best interest of the County to release the County’s interest in a portion of a utility easement recorded in the official records of Palm Beach County, Book 26799, Page 1400. During a site plan modification, WUD staff determined that an existing building was constructed within the existing Utility Easement. The release of this small portion of the existing easement will not have any adverse consequences and it was determined to be a better alternative than relocating the existing water main or the building.  The release will reduce the width of the easement from 10-feet to 9.6-feet in a small location and WUD recommends the release.

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) approve selection of Cigna Health and Life Insurance Company (CHLIC) for plan year 2018 following a Request for Proposal (RFP No. 17-042/LJ) for claims administration services for the County’s self-insured health insurance plans;

 

B) approve Contract for Consulting/Professional Services between Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (County) and CHLIC for claims administration services for the County’s self-funded health insurance plans for the period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 (with four annual options to renew) totaling $1,916,382;

 

C) approve actuarial rates per coverage tier for plan year 2018; and

 

D) approve Employee wellness participation cash incentives in the amount of $25 for completion of the online Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and $25 for participation in an onsite biometric screening.

 

SUMMARY:  Having completed the Board-approved one year extension of the Administrative Services Only (ASO) Agreement (R2011-1667) for expiring plan year 2017, staff issued an RFP for health plan administrative services, including stop loss insurance, for the County’s self-funded health insurance plans on behalf of the employees of the Board, Supervisor of Elections, and Palm Tran, Inc. (collectively participating in the plan through the provisions of the Interlocal Agreement R2002- 2287). The selection committee chose CHLIC over threecompeting proposals on the basis that CHLIC offered the lowest overall pricing and a firm stop-loss quote. The proposal included a three months ASO fee waiver, estimated to total $469,390 at current enrollment. The new contract will include the services of one additional on-site customer service representative, fully funded by CHLIC as well as an increase in the wellness allowance from $75,000 to $100,000 per year. In addition, CHLIC included an option that would allow access to its Employee Assistance Program (EAP) network for an amount not to exceed $95,000, should the County wish to exercise this option at a future date. The stop-loss insurance premium will remain at current year (2017) rates for plan year 2018. The total projected claims and administrative expense for plan year 2018 is $69,631,495. The total cost of the plan represents a decrease of $1,095,446 over the actuary’s projected cost of the expiring plan year. Although the plan has been performing at a stable level, staff is recommending a 3% increase to maintain a margin for the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) safe harbor surplus threshold. This increase has been contemplated in the 2018 budget, and is necessary to secure the financial stability of the fund. Sufficient funds have been budgeted to fund the program.

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve: budget transfer of $30,000 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). SUMMARY: Florida Statute 932.7055(5) provides that the seizing agency shall use Forfeiture proceeds for school resource officer, crime prevention, safe neighborhood, drug abuse education and prevention programs, or for other law enforcement purposes, which include defraying the cost of protracted or complex investigations, providing additional equipment or expertise, purchasing automated external defibrillators, and providing matching grant funds. F.S. 932.7055(5) also requires that no less than 25% of the LETF’s previous year’s revenues be used for the support or operation of drug treatment, drug abuse education, drug prevention, crime prevention, safe neighborhood and school resource officer programs of various non-profit organizations. The PBSO’s FY 2017 estimated donation requirement is $293,779. The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support organizations that provide such services. The year-to-date transfer for all donations to outside organizations after approval of this item is $1,166,220. The funds requested are to aid PBSO and qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the Sheriff.  The current State LETF balance is $1,501,130. Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $1,471,130.  The PBSO certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055.  Below is a table indicating the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and the corresponding amount of funding proposed per respective organization or agency.  No new positions are needed and no additional County funds are required.  Countywide (DC)

1.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, repealing Palm Beach County Code, Chapter 13, Article II, (Ordinance No. 2006-040 as amended by Ordinance No. 2010-056) and adopting a new Palm Beach County Ordinance for Emergency Medical Services; providing for title; providing for authority and purpose; providing for definitions; providing for territorial applicability; providing for COPCN and endorsements required; providing for exclusions from COPCN and/or permit requirement; providing for application for COPCN; providing for review and assessment of application; providing for Board approval required for a COPCN; providing for rights and duties granted by COPCN; providing for vehicle permits; providing for assignability of COPCN; providing for provision of patient outcome data; providing for rules and regulations; providing for emergency powers; providing for complaint procedures; providing for general prohibition; providing for enforcement; providing for civil infraction processing; providing for COPCN revocation, modification, and suspension; providing for appeal; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing severability; providing inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing captions; and providing for an effective date. This proposed amendment to the Emergency Medical Services Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities on July 26, 2017, and was unanimously approved.  Summary:  On September 26, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners approved a preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing. The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Ordinance establishes standards for issuing certificates of public convenience and necessity (COPCNs) for advanced life support transportation and services and by providing for the adoption of rules and regulations governing the areas, and operation of service in unincorporated and incorporated Palm Beach County. During an EMS Council meeting on September 17, 2015, a subcommittee was established to review and make recommendations to the Ordinance, since its last significant update was in 2010. The major revisions to the Ordinance were broken into four different categories: 1) various sections of the ordinance were clarified, reorganized, and terms were simplified to improve readability and comprehension; 2) the COPCN application process was updated and simplified to include current relevant information; 3) enforcement methods were expanded to include remedial action plans for response time and vehicle non-compliance violations; and 4) changes to Advance Life Support (ALS) Vehicle requirements were made.  Due to the significant organizational changes, this Ordinance will repeal and replace the prior ordinance. The basic ordinance requirements have not changed: COPCNs are required to provide Primary, Secondary, Air Ambulance and Special Secondary EMS services and ALS Vehicles must be inspected and permitted. The EMS Council has reviewed and approved the Ordinance revisions at the March 16, 2017 EMS Council meeting. Countywide.  This proposed amendment to the Emergency Medical Services Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities on July 26, 2017, and was unanimously approved.  Countywide (LDC)

2.         Staff recommends motion to adopt: Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 19, Article IX (Ordinance No. 2008-43) as amended relating to vehicles for hire; amending Section 19-213 (Definitions); amending Section 19-214 (Compliance with Article required); amending Section 19-217 (Reciprocity); amending Section 19-219 (Records Required); amending Section 19-223 (Vehicle Safety and Appearance Requirements); amending Section 19-226 (Commercial Automobile Liability Insurance); amending Section 19-227 (Driver Requirements; Failure to Comply); providing for repeal of Laws in Conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances; providing for captions; and providing an effective date. Summary:  CS/HB 221 passed by the Florida Legislature and approved by the Governor on May 9, 2017, became effective on July 1, 2017.  This legislation preempts Transportation Network Company (TNC) regulation to the State.  To comply with this new law, the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance must be revised to remove reference to TNCs. The Division of Consumer Affairs (DCA) will continue existing regulation which enables vehicle for hire companies to utilize: 1) vehicle trade dress or DCA issued decal; 2) alternative identification (i.e. digital platform) or an ID badge to be issued by the DCA; and 3) conduct their own comprehensive nationwide background checks through an accredited agency or the DCA can conduct a Level 2 background check for any driver. There will be a reduction of approximately $400,000 in annual fees paid by TNCs.  In addition, the current ordinance requires automobile liability insurance in accordance with Florida Law.  In order to clarify existing requirements, the ordinance was revised to include pre-existing minimum insurance limits of $125,000/$250,000 for bodily injury and $50,000 for property damage.  This is the minimum insurance amount the DCA recommends for all vehicles for hire (including taxicabs and limousines) operating in the County. This proposed amendment to the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance was presented to the League of Cities on July 26, 2017, and was unanimously approved.  Countywide (LDC)

2.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Agreement for Purchase and Sale to acquire a 4.98 acre vacant parcel of land in unincorporated western Delray Beach for $1,050,000 from Haim Tepper, Trustee of the Haim Tepper Revocable Trust under Agreement dated October 30, 2015 and Mordechai Markowicz and Sarah Markowicz, husband and wife, (Sellers) for development of a Fire Rescue Station.  SUMMARY: Fire Rescue has identified a need to construct a Fire Station in the Southeastern area of the Ag Reserve.  Fire Rescue projects there will be sufficient call volumes between existing and approved, but not yet constructed development to support this new station. The subject site lies approximately 1,600 feet east of the Lyons Road/Linton Boulevard intersection and is currently being used as a plant nursery.  It is larger than required for development of the station, but there are no smaller sites with good access available.  Fire Rescue can use the excess land for an equipment storage building, or the site could be exchanged for a smaller site if the surrounding area is subsequently developed. Staff obtained two appraisals indicating values of $1,000,000 and $1,020,000 for an average of $1,010,000. The $1,050,000 purchase price exceeds the average of the appraised values by $40,000 or 3.96%. The Agreement contains a 45 day Inspection Period and the County has the right to terminate if the inspections are unsatisfactory.  Closing must occur within 10 days after expiration of the Inspection Period. The Agreement allows the Sellers through June 30, 2018 to remove any remaining plant inventory and personal property not sold off prior to closing. This acquisition is being funded with $950,000 of Fire Rescue Impact Fees which must be encumbered by the first quarter of FY 18, with the balance funded from the Fire Rescue MSTU.  This purchase requires approval by a supermajority vote of the Board (5 commissioners).  (PREM) District 5 (HJF)
