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. Districts 3, 4, 5 & 7 (MJ)

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. District 6 (MJ)

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Amendment to the Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Project Plan approved by the
Board of County Commissioners on April 4, 2017; and
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)

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

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.

provide transportation services to senior citizens who are clients of Division
of Senior Services (DOSS) Senior Citizens Wellness Programs and who reside

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
