35                    4B-1                REVISED MOTION AND SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve: Revised Alignment 1A for the segment of Congress Avenue from Northlake Boulevard to Park Lane.  Alternative Alignment 1A for the segment of Congress Avenue from Northlake Boulevard to Park Lane (Project), contingent on Hilltop Residential Limited (HRL), or its successors or assigns, conveying to Palm Beach County (County) all right-of-way necessary for the project, free and clear of all encumbrances, within eight months of this Board of County Commissioners’ (BCC) meeting date. SUMMARY:  Approval of Revised Alternative Alignment 1A will meet the needs of both Palm Beach the County (County) and Hilltop Residential Limited (HRL).  Conceptual Alignment 1A was previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on February 28, 2006, and is situated on property owned by HRL.  Alternative Alignment 1A. The alignment is required to establish right-of-way for the construction of a three (3) lane roadway for the segment of Congress Avenue from Northlake Boulevard to Park Lane.  HRL proposes to develop this property and is aware that the development will need to must dedicate the necessary right-of-way to the County free and clear of all encumbrances.  County staff and HRL’s representatives have coordinated Revised Alternative Alignment 1A to be mutually beneficial.  No other privately owned properties will be impacted by this revised alternative alignment, but some impacts are expected on property owned by the City of Palm Beach Gardens (City).  The revised alternative alignment has been coordinated with the City.  Use of Alternative Alignment 1A for the extension of Congress Avenue, in lieu of Conceptual Alignment 1A, is contingent upon HRL, or its successors or assigns, dedicating the necessary right-of-way to the County clear of all encumbrances within eight months of approval of this alternative alignment.  In the event HRL fails to meet this contingency, then the County will proceed with the original Conceptual Alignment 1A.  The Five-Year Road Program includes $5.76 million for design, mitigation and right-of-way acquisition for the extension of Congress Avenue from Northlake Boulevard to State Road 811/Alternate A1A in Fiscal Year 2018, and funding of $4 million and $2 million respectively for construction in Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021.  District 1 (LBH) (Eng)

 

36                 4D-1               REVISED SUMMARY: ...The grant also requires execution of the Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, Form LLL. The grant funded positions will be eliminated when funding is discontinued. No County funds are required.  Countywide (DR) (Palm Tran)

The Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability, Parks and FDO requires that an interdepartmental budget transfer be established to reimburse Parks for eligible costs for these projects for a total $571,581.  Of this total amount, $221,120 is included in a companion agenda item on Lake Lytal Basketball Court (3H-8) prepared by FDO. The balance of $350,461 is included in this agenda item. This budget transfer and amendment is necessary to process the interdepartmental transfers. These are CDBG grant funds which require no local match. Districts 1, 2, 3, & 6 (JB)

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to execute: “Certification By State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan” for the Palm Beach County Housing Authority (PBCHA) in connection with their Fiscal Year 2019 Annual Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan. SUMMARY: PBCHA has prepared its Annual PHA Plan for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2018.  The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the County to confirm that the plans and programs outlined in PBCHA’s Annual PHA Plan are consistent with those set forth in the County’s Consolidated Plan. Confirmation of this consistency is documented through a “Certification by State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan.”  The Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability has reviewed the PBCHA’s draft Annual PHA Plan and determined that the goals, objectives and plans outlined therein are consistent with the overall goals and specific housing objectives outlined in the Palm Beach County Fiscal Year 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan. Specifically, the Annual PHA Plan will: increase the supply of affordable housing, improve the quality of existing affordable housing, improve access to affordable rental housing, and promote equal opportunity housing.  Since the PBCHA’s Annual Agency Plan is consistent with the County’s Consolidated Plan, staff recommends execution of this certification.

K.        WATER UTILITIES

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the North Springs Improvement District (NSID) for the purchase and sale of bulk potable water and to establish emergency interconnects.  SUMMARY:  In order to ensure the most efficient delivery of potable water service, the County has encouraged the use of cooperative agreements with other utility providers. This Agreement provides for the NSID to purchase up to 15,000 gallons per day of potable water from the County. NSID will purchase the 15,000 gallons of potable water capacity at a rate of $3.84 per gallon.  NSID will pay $2.72 per 1,000 gallons for its initial commodity rate.  Beginning on October 1, 2018, an annual rate adjustment will be applied each year based on an adjustment that will ensure that NSID’s commodity fee increases at the same pace as the County’s retail customers. A 33% surcharge shall be added to the commodity fee for usage exceeding the capacity reserved by NSID as determined on an annual average daily flow basis.  The Agreement also establishes an emergency interconnect between the County and NSID. When utilization is necessary, NSID must notify the County detailing the emergency, the estimated usage and time of use. The County may reasonably limit the amount of potable water delivered during the days and hours of the provision of potable water to NSID. NSID provides water treatment, wastewater collection and stormwater management to residents in the City of Coral Springs and the City of Parkland in Broward County.

5.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Reimbursement Agreement (Agreement) between Palm Beach County and Boca Raton Associates VII, LLLP (Property Owner) in the amount of $527,564. SUMMARY: The Water Utilities Department (WUD) is requiring the Property Owner to extend the 20-inch reclaimed watermain along the eastern boundary of the Hyder South AGR PUD in conjunction with their construction of the adjacent property. Knowing that WUD is additionally seeking to establish greater connectivity and efficiency within the County’s reclaimed water system, the Property Owner proposed to design and construct approximately 5,420 feet of 20-inch reclaimed watermain from Lyons Road to State Road 7 along the southern boundary of the property, conditioned upon full reimbursement by WUD. All improvements will be constructed in accordance with WUD’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual, subject to review by WUD staff. Following the completion of the construction, the Property Owner will transfer the ownership of the improvements to the County via a Bill of Sale, provide comprehensive utility record drawings and grant utility easements over all County owned facilities on the property.  The Agreement provides for the payment of $527,564 for the design and construction along the southern border of the property that will be undertaken by the Property Owner.  Should the project cost exceed the agreed upon amount, the Agreement provides that the County will be responsible for approving any additional necessary costs above and beyond 10% of the original estimated project cost. The Property Owner will construct the reclaimed watermain on undeveloped land in conjunction with their project, which will result in a cost savings of approximately $700,000 compared to the cost for WUD to install these improvements under current contracts. The Property Owner is able to minimize the cost due to the timing and size of the project.  The improvements are beneficial to the County and the public and will result in a large savings to the County.  District 2 (MJ)

 

6.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the Village of Royal Palm Beach (Village) for the Co-location of Telemetry Facilities. SUMMARY:  On February 28, 2006, the County entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Water and Wastewater Assets (Purchase Agreement) with the Village (R2006-0410).  On April 27, 2006, the County and the Village entered into an associated Transition Agreement (R2006-2660). These agreements provided for the purchase by the County of the water and wastewater systems within the Village and established the County Water Utilities Department (WUD) as the service provider within the Village.  Section 3.3 of the Purchase Agreement and Section 3 of the Transition Agreement obligate the Village to cooperate with the County in the use of Village property, privileges, easements, licenses, and/or prescriptive rights for the construction, reconstruction, installation, maintenance and operation of the purchased water and wastewater system. On June 7, 2007, the Village entered into a lease agreement with Crown Communication, Inc., for the construction of a wireless communication tower and associated facilities on which the Village has the right to co-locate communications facilities.  The lease agreement was subsequently amended on August 26, 2010, to provide assignment to Crown Castle South, LLC.  WUD has determined a need to co-locate telemetry communication facilities on the tower in order to provide for the efficient delivery of water and wastewater services to Village residents and other WUD customers. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Transition Agreement, the Village has agreed to allow the County to utilize its ability to co-locate communications facilities on the tower to facilitate the telemetry needs identified by WUD.  The ILA provides for the terms and conditions under which the County will be permitted to utilize the Village’s co-location area to install the necessary infrastructure. WUD will be responsible for providing the Village with any technical documentation necessary to support an application by the Village for co-location as required in the Village lease agreement.  Any co-location on the communication tower is subject to approval of the application pursuant to the Village’s lease agreement and the term of the ILA is concurrent with the term of the lease agreement.

B) budget transfer of $988,342 within the IST Fund to partially fund the West Boynton Park Athletic Field Renovation Project.

 

SUMMARY: On February 6, 2018, the Board approved a budget transfer of $2,500,000 within the IST Fund to partially fund the Ocean Inlet Park & Marina Renovation and Expansion project. $2,000,000 was transferred from the West Boynton Park Athletic Field Renovation Project and $500,000 was transferred from the Buttonwood Park Athletic Field Renovation Project leaving $1,000,000 in the Buttonwood Park Project account. This request is to transfer the remaining Buttonwood Park Project balance of $988,342, presently allocated in FY 2018 for the Buttonwood Park Athletic Field Renovation Project, to the West Boynton Park Athletic Field Renovation Project for the installation of a synthetic turf field.  The West Boynton Park project was initiated in FY 2017.  This amendment and transfer will allow the project to move forward in FY 2018. Demand for multipurpose field use at West Boynton Park exceeds that of Buttonwood Park and therefore has become a higher priority for renovation.  Replacing one natural grass field in FY 2018 at West Boynton Park will offer greater utility of the multi-purpose fields for youth sports programs. The Sales Tax Oversight Committee reviewed this request at their April 19, 2018 meeting and approved it unanimously. Countywide (AH)

A) approve budget transfer of $100,000 from the General Fund Animal Care and Control (ACC) donation account to the Capital Outlay Fund for the construction of three chickee huts at ACC and thatch repairs to existing huts; and

 

B) approve budget amendment of $100,000 in the Capital Outlay fund to recognize the transfer from the General Fund.

 

Summary:  ACC receives various donations made by citizens that are used for the improvement in the quality of life for animals at the shelter or operational enhancements. Thatch repairs are needed to the three existing huts which provide superior shade and cooling to the meet and greet areas. The three new huts will provide shade and a sheltered outdoor environment for staff, volunteers, and dogs as the dogs are exercised and socialized in order to make them more adoptable.  Play areas with artificial turf can reach temperatures in excess of 160 degrees making it uncomfortable and unsafe for staff and volunteers to work outside and causing burns to the dogs’ feet.  These huts will greatly increase the number of hours in which the dogs can be exercised safely.

SUMMARY: The Internal Audit Committee (Committee) conducted a review of the duties and responsibilities of the Committee as established in Ordinance 2017-020, known as the Palm Beach County Internal Audit Committee Charter Ordinance, and has identified several revisions it believes are necessary.  The revisions are recommended to align the attendance requirements of the Ordinance with County policy, align the ethics requirements of the Ordinance with the County Code of Ethics, to remove obsolete language, to allow a committee member to serve more than one two-year non-consecutive term as Committee chair; and to clarify the duties and responsibilities of the alternate member.

SUMMARY:  Approval of Revised Alternative Alignment 1A will meet the needs of both Palm Beach the County (County) and Hilltop Residential Limited (HRL).  Conceptual Alignment 1A was previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on February 28, 2006, and is situated on property owned by HRL.  Alternative Alignment 1A. The alignment is required to establish right-of-way for the construction of a three (3) lane roadway for the segment of Congress Avenue from Northlake Boulevard to Park Lane.  HRL proposes to develop this property and is aware that the development will need to must dedicate the necessary right-of-way to the County free and clear of all encumbrances.  County staff and HRL’s representatives have coordinated Revised Alternative Alignment 1A to be mutually beneficial.  No other privately owned properties will be impacted by this revised alternative alignment, but some impacts are expected on property owned by the City of Palm Beach Gardens (City).  The revised alternative alignment has been coordinated with the City.  Use of Alternative Alignment 1A for the extension of Congress Avenue, in lieu of Conceptual Alignment 1A, is contingent upon HRL, or its successors or assigns, dedicating the necessary right-of-way to the County clear of all encumbrances within eight months of approval of this alternative alignment.  In the event HRL fails to meet this contingency, then the County will proceed with the original Conceptual Alignment 1A.  The Five-Year Road Program includes $5.76 million for design, mitigation and right-of-way acquisition for the extension of Congress Avenue from Northlake Boulevard to State Road 811/Alternate A1A in Fiscal Year 2018, and funding of $4 million and $2 million respectively for construction in Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021.  District 1 (LBH)

B.         HOUSING AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) amend the Workforce Housing Program Down Payment Assistance Strategy to be referred to as the Workforce Housing Program Financial Assistance Strategy and incorporate additional features to enable the purchase and sale of housing units governed by the Workforce Housing Program; and

B) expand the delegated authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to make administrative modifications and execute any documents necessary to implement the Workforce Housing Program Financial Assistance Strategy to now include authority to purchase and sell housing units governed by the Workforce Housing Program.

SUMMARY: At the February 27, 2018 Board of County Commissioners Workshop, staff presented the Workforce Housing Program (WHP) Down Payment Assistance Strategy.  Staff was authorized to finalize the strategy and present it at an upcoming BCC meeting. On March 13, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners approved the WHP Down Payment Assistance Strategy, which provides assistance to eligible buyers to purchase for-sale workforce housing units and delegated authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to execute any documents necessary to implement the Strategy. The WHP Trust Fund has a balance of approximately $3 Million generated from in-lieu payments from 38 for-sale units at $81,500.  Currently, there are 121 WHP units available for sale. Working in partnership with the current developers, some necessary program enhancements and clarifications have been identified. This includes renaming the Strategy to Workforce Housing Program Financial Assistance Strategy, incorporating additional features and expanding the authority delegated to the County Administrator, or designee. Specifically, the proposed amendments provide for the following (see Attachment 1 to agenda item):

1. Maximum asset limit – $200,000 for all eligible WHP participants;

2. Buyer Occupancy Requirements – owner occupied buyers who will use the home as their primary residence;

3. First mortgage loan option for eligible buyers; and

4. Purchase and sell of eligible workforce housing units by the County. This provides for the County to purchase such units, under extenuating circumstances, rather than allowing them to be converted to market rate.  Workforce Housing Trust Funds will be used to purchase the units at the predetermined WHP price points and for carrying costs. Proceeds from the sale of the WHP units to eligible buyers will be deposited back into the Fund.  The FY2017 purchase price points per income category for the WHP units are as follows: $142,590–Low Income Households; $183,330–Moderate 1 Income Households; $224,070–Moderate 2 Income Households; and $264,810–Middle Income Households.

These are WHP funds which do not require a local match. Countywide (JB)

C) approve budget amendment in Palm Tran’s operating fund 1340 to reconcile the budget to the actual grant award; and

 

D) approve budget transfer in the general fund 0001 to reconcile the budget for match and transfer to actual grant award.

 

SUMMARY:  On October 18, 2016, the BCC approved a three year Standard Agreement No. IA016-9635 (R2016-1535) allocating funds to provide transportation services to senior citizens who are clients of Division of Senior Services (DOSS) Senior Citizens Wellness Programs and who reside north of Hypoluxo Road.  The Area Agency on Aging (AAA) has issued a subsequent Renewal Number 002, to provide Palm Beach County its annual allocation for 2017 and 2018 for this program to assist with transportation expenditures for Nutrition Meal Site trips.  AAA will provide funds in the amount of $600,000 for Palm Beach County and $44,000 for the City of Pahokee for a total of $644,000. This award has a minimum match requirement of 10% of the total project costs or $60,000, which is included in Palm Tran’s approved FY2018 budget; pass through funds to the City of Pahokee are exempt from the match requirement.  The total cost of DOSS Trips for FY 2017 was $1,450,567, of which $309,500 was covered by the DOSS grants, resulting in a net cost to the County of $1,141,067. The budgeted cost for FY 2018 is $1,549,945, of which $300,000 is covered by the DOSS grants, resulting in an estimated net cost to the County of $1,249,945. Countywide (DR)
