DHVS staff will assess applicants for the program, approve service plans and process invoices. United Way sent instructions to return the Phase 35 EFSP grant application as soon as possible.

B) budget amendment of $1,258,377 in the Airport’s Improvement and Development Fund to recognize Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) revenue, also to provide $152,951 of budget for the ARINC Contract, and a transfer to reserves of $1,105,426; and

 

C) budget transfer of $1,258,377 in the PFC fund to transfer PFC funds to the Improvement and Development fund, including a transfer from PFC Reserves of $1,258,377.

 

SUMMARY: The Contract with ARINC Incorporated for the installation of the CUPPS at PBIA was approved by the Board on October 18, 2016 (R2016-1480).  Change Orders No. 1 and No. 2 in the amount of $169,508 and 90 calendar days were approved under the delegated authority detailed in PPM CW-F-050.  Approval of Change Order No. 3 in the amount of $152,951 and 400 calendar days will primarily expand the CUPPS phone system at PBIA at the request of the airlines.  ARINC Incorporated is an Annapolis, Maryland based company.  The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal for this contract is 12%.  ARINC Incorporated has committed to 18% in their proposal.  With the addition of this Change Order No. 3, DBE participation is expected to be approximately 54% for the project.

3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Second Amendment (Amendment) to Amended and Restated Fixed Base Operator Lease Agreement (R2016-0759) with Galaxy Aviation of Lantana, Inc. d/b/a Stellar Aviation of South Palm Beach (Stellar), providing for a rental credit of $2,600 per week for the temporary relocation of aircraft to accommodate taxilane improvements at the Palm Beach County Park Airport (Lantana Airport). SUMMARY: West Construction, Inc. is currently constructing various airside and landside improvements at the Lantana Airport pursuant to a Contract (R2017-0759) entered into with the County on July 11, 2017, which includes reconstruction of aircraft apron and taxilanes; the construction of vehicle access roads; and parking, lighting, drainage, utility and security improvements. In order to expedite the reconstruction of a taxilane located in front of hangar row 500, the aircraft stored in the hangars will need to be temporarily relocated since they will not be able to be removed from the hangars during construction. Stellar has agreed to temporarily relocate the aircraft located in individual aircraft hangars in hangar row 500 to shared community hangars. Aircraft located within the community hangars will be temporarily displaced to accommodate aircraft previously stored in hangar row 500, which will result in a loss of rental revenues to Stellar.   Aircraft located in community hangars may only be removed by authorized staff for liability reasons; therefore, Stellar will be responsible for towing aircraft in and out of the community hangars, which will require additional staff to assist with aircraft movements. Stellar has estimated the revenue and staffing costs associated with the relocations to be approximately $2,600 per week. This Amendment would provide Stellar with a rental credit of $2,600 per week until the taxilane reconstruction project is complete.  The Department currently anticipates this phase of the project to be completed within approximately five weeks. Approval of this Amendment will allow the contractor to expedite the reconstruction of the taxilane and minimize the impacts on hangar subtenants. Countywide (HJF)

9.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Agreement with the Sheriff of Palm Beach County (Sheriff) for the provision of food and laundry services to the County’s Homeless Resource Center a/k/a the Senator Philip D. Lewis Center (Lewis Center) located at 1000 45th Street in the City of West Palm Beach, Florida.  SUMMARY:  Since July 2, 2012 when the Lewis Center opened, the County has been meeting its obligation to Lewis Center’s Lead Operator (Goodwill) to: (i) produce meals meeting established dietary guidelines for adults and juveniles; and (ii) provide laundry service for bedding and towels, via Agreements with the Sheriff (R2012-0885 and R2015-0483). Staff is recommending that the County continue to meet its obligations to Goodwill for food and laundry services through an Agreement with the Sheriff to use his facilities at the Main Detention Center (MDC) for a five year period.  The Sheriff’s contracted food service provider (Food Service Provider) will produce the meals on-demand for the Lewis Center.  This Agreement requires that: (i) the Sheriff provide the County with meals and linens for use at the Lewis Center; (ii) the County order and pick-up meals and linens from the MDC; (iii) the County reimburse the Sheriff for out of pocket expenses associated with production of meals actually ordered; and (iv) the County reimburse the Sheriff for out of pocket costs for lost trays and/or linens.  The Agreement permits both the County and the Sheriff, upon mutual agreement, to delegate each of their administrative and logistical responsibilities to the Director of Facilities Development & Operations and the Major, Corrections Operations, respectively. Certain administrative responsibilities such as the ordering, meal preparation, serving of meals and transport duties can be further assigned to Goodwill and the Sheriff’s Food Service Provider.  The term of the Agreement commences on June 19, 2018 and continues for five years, with an expiration date of June 18, 2023, or until the expiration of the Food Service Provider’s contract, whichever occurs first.  The Agreement may be terminated by either party, with or without cause with a minimum of 30 days’ notice. Due to this being an on-demand contract with no minimum purchase requirement, the County is free to order as many or few meals as they desire, allowing the County to utilize alternate food production sources/approaches as determined to be appropriate on a case by case or longer term basis.

(Habitat South) with HFHSPBC CLT, Inc., f/k/a Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County Community Housing and Land Trust, Inc., d/b/a Heartfelt Florida Housing of South Palm Beach County Community Land Trust, Inc.

SUMMARY:  This Fourth Amendment to Interlocal Agreement R2013-1038, as amended by R2015-0896, R2016-1605, and R2017-1059, provides for a change in project scope to only include the elements that were completed by the project completion date of December 12, 2017.  This Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement was requested by the Town of Mangonia Park. Since the completed project elements have already met the $50,000 funding requirement and the project completion deadline expired on December 12, 2017, the Parks and Recreation Department wishes to reimburse the Town of Mangonia Park for only the completed project elements up to the reimbursable amount of $50,000. All other terms of the Agreement including the funding amount of $50,000 remain the same.  Funding is from the 2003 $25 Million GO and 2005 $25 Million GO Parks & Cultural Facilities Bonds.

C.        FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in 0.13 acres of surplus property to Larance Ford for $861.43 without reservation of phosphate, mineral, metals, and petroleum rights; and

 

B) approve County Deed in favor of Larance Ford.

 

SUMMARY:  On March 14, 2016, the County acquired by Escheatment Tax Deed a 0.13 acre vacant parcel of land located at Bacom Point Road in Pahokee. In December 2014, Ford purchased two parcels – the surplus parcel and a 0.69 acre adjoining parcel containing a 2,529 sf single family residence, located at 785 Bacom Point Road, Pahokee.  Palm Beach County property tax records did not reflect Ford as the new owner of the surplus parcel and the Property Appraiser Office, the Tax Collector and Clerk’s Office failed to provide Ford notice of the taxes due and the tax sale pursuant to Florida Statute Chapter 197.  As a result, the surplus parcel was foreclosed upon and ultimately escheated to the County.  Staff is recommending the County re-convey the surplus parcel to Ford, the owner of record at the time of issuance of the tax deed, without competitive bidding under the alternative disposition procedures established by Ordinance 2002-067.  This requires a finding by the Board that Ford is the only person capable of reasonably utilizing the property.  Staff recommends this finding to correct the procedural errors and to ensure that Ford retains access to the property immediately behind his home (his backyard).  Mr. Ford will pay $861.43, equal to the taxes for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners).  (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

2.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A)  adopt resolution finding that an extension of the Lease Agreement with Bedner Farm, Inc. for an additional ten years until 2053 is in the best interest of the County; and

 

B)  approve Fifth Amendment to Lease Agreement with Bedner Farm, Inc. (R2001-0582) of 262 acres in the Ag Reserve.

 

SUMMARY:  On April 17, 2001, the Board approved a contract with Bedner Farm, Inc. to acquire approximately 262 acres in the Ag Reserve (R2001-0582).  Simultaneous with the closing, the County leased the property back to Bedner Farm for a term of ten years at an initial rental rate of $550/acre/year. The First Amendment approved on May 15, 2007 (R2007-0827) extended the term for 12 years to 2023. The Third Amendment approved on February 4, 2014 (R2014-0190) extended the term for ten years until 2033. The Fourth Amendment approved on July 21, 2015 extended the term for ten years until 2043.  Bedner Farm is operated by the Bedner family which wants to ensure that the younger members of the family will have the ability to continue farming.  The Bedners are concerned about incremental changes to the land use and zoning regulations for the Ag Reserve, and the potential impact of such changes on the Bedners’ ability to continue farming and have requested the County extend their Lease.  Extending the Lease will provide the Bedners the legal right to farm as long as it remains economically viable to do so. This Fifth Amendment to Lease Agreement provides Bedner Farm, Inc. ten additional options to extend the term of the Lease, each for a period of one year.  The extension options shall be automatically exercised each year unless Bedner provides 60 days prior notice that it does not wish to exercise the then current option.  If all options are exercised, the term would extend to 2053.  Rent is currently $500/acre/year and will be periodically adjusted to fair market value as determined by appraisal. The Resolution finds that the extension of the Bedner Lease is in the best interests of the County based upon the following facts: 1) a major element of the Ag Reserve Acquisition Program was to ensure continued agricultural operations in the Ag Reserve; 2) continuity of farming operations assists in preserving agricultural operations in the Ag Reserve; 3) the extension of the Bedner Lease will maintain continuity of existing farming operations; and 4) the County will receive fair market value rent as determined by appraisal during the extensions.

SUMMARY:  On July 19, 2011, the Board approved a Lease Agreement with T&D to lease the Amestoy farm property for a term of five years with successive one year extension periods through June 30, 2031, at an initial rate of $500/gross acre.  Rent is currently $500/acre/year. T&D is operated by the Bowman family.  T&D is concerned about incremental changes to the land use and zoning regulations for the Ag Reserve, and the potential impact of such changes on T&D’s ability to continue farming and have requested the County extend their Lease in line with the proposed extension of the Bedner’s lease.  Extending the Lease will provide T&D the legal right to farm as long as it remains economically viable to do so. This First Amendment to the Lease Agreement provides T&D 22 additional one year options, extending the term through June 30, 2053.  The extension options will be automatically exercised each year unless T&D provides 90 days prior notice that it does not wish to exercise the then current option. Rent be periodically adjusted to fair market value as determined by appraisal.  The Resolution finds that the extension of the T&D Lease is in the best interests of the County based upon the following facts: 1) a major element of the Ag Reserve Acquisition Program was to ensure continued agricultural operations in the Ag Reserve; 2) continuity of farming operations assists in preserving agricultural operations in the Ag Reserve; 3) the extension of the T&D Lease will maintain continuity of existing farming operations; and 4) the County will receive fair market value rent as determined by appraisal during the extensions.  (PREM)  District 5 (HJF)

The Third Amendments approved November 16, 2010 (R2010-1185-1186) reduced the premises to allow for the Lyons Road Expansion. The Bowmans are concerned about incremental changes to the land use and zoning regulations for the Ag Reserve, and the potential impact of such changes on the Bowmans’ ability to continue farming and have requested the County extend their Leases in line with the proposed extension of the Bedner’s lease. Extending the Lease will provide the Bowmans the legal right to farm as long as it remains economically viable to do so. This Third Amendment to Parcel A and the Fourth Amendments to Parcels B & C to the Lease Agreements provides Bowman Growers 28 additional one year options extending the term through June 30, 2053 for all three Leases. The extension options will be automatically exercised each year unless Bowman provides 60 days prior notice that it does not wish to exercise the then current option. Rent is currently $500/acre/year and will be periodically adjusted to fair market value as determined by appraisal.  The Resolution finds that the extension of the Bowman Leases are in the best interests of the County based upon the following facts: 1) a major element of the Ag Reserve Acquisition Program was to ensure continued agricultural operations in the Ag Reserve; 2) continuity of farming operations assists in preserving agricultural operations in the Ag Reserve; 3) the extension of the Bowman Leases will maintain continuity of existing farming operations; and 4) the County will receive fair market value rent as determined by appraisal during the extensions.

5.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Purchase and Sale with Transit Village, LLC. (R2012-1158). SUMMARY: The February 27th workshop on the Downtown West Palm Beach County Facilities Master Plan update addressed the City’s proposed extension of Fern Street across the railroad tracks to Clearwater Drive and the anticipated negative impacts upon Palm Tran operations at the Intermodal Center. As such, Staff recommended that the Board postpone consideration of Transit Village’s (TV) extension request until the City and County reach an agreement on the Fern Street crossing.  Staff requested a workshop between the Board and the City Council, but the Mayor declined.  Instead, Staff will make a presentation to the City Council on June 25th; however, it appears unlikely that the County and City will reach an agreement on the crossing at any time soon, if at all. Staff will continue to raise objections to the extension/crossing with SFRTA and FDOT unless and until the City obtains a traffic report demonstrating that the crossing will not impact Palm Tran operations.  The Agreement with TV requires TV close by August 13, 2018, and TV has advised it is unable to meet that deadline.  This Amendment No. 1 provides TV with a two year extension to August 2020.  Staff also recommended that as consideration for the extension, TV convey a .4 acre outparcel at the corner of Tamarind and Datura at no cost to the County, and that TV agree to extend the time frames for Staff review of TV’s submittals during the review process.  TV will not agree to convey the outparcel, but instead has agreed to construct four additional Workforce Housing units for a total of 42 units and has further agreed to subject all 42 units to the rules, regulations and requirements of the County’s Workforce Housing Program.  In addition, TV has agreed to involve Staff earlier in the design process and to coordinate review of Schematic Drawings and Design Development which addresses Staff’s concerns regarding insufficient time to review.  Approval of Amendment No. 1 will allow TV to continue with design and development of this project.

A) adopt resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in a vacant 0.14 acre parcel of County-owned land located on Edham Drive, West Palm Beach, to Tiger Real Estate Development, LLC for $5,000 with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 270.11;

 

B) approve Deposit Receipt and Contract for Sale and Purchase with Tiger Real Estate Development, LLC for the sale of 0.06 acres of vacant County surplus property; and

 

C) approve County Deed in favor of Tiger Real Estate Development,  LLC.

 

SUMMARY:  The County acquired a 0.14 acre parcel of land located on Edham Drive, north of Wallis and west of Haverhill Roads, in unincorporated Palm Beach County, by Tax Deed in September 1996. This property is unbuildable, serves no present or future County purpose and has remained on the surplus property list since it was acquired.  The parcel is t-shaped in nature, cannot be developed as a standalone parcel and is of use only to the adjoining owners.  In December 2017, PREM was contacted by an adjacent owner expressing an interest in the parcel. The 2017 Property Appraiser assessed value of the parcel is $42.  Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 125.35(2), the Board may effect a private sale of the parcel upon a finding that the value of a parcel is $15,000 or less, and when due to its size, shape, location, and value, it is of use only to one or more adjacent property owners. In accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 125.35(2), notice of the County’s intent to sell this parcel was sent to all adjacent property owners. Two adjoining owners responded that they were interested in the surplus parcel.  One bid was received from Tiger Real Estate Development, LLC with a proposed purchase price of $5,000. Tiger Real Estate Development, LLC will pay documentary stamps and recording costs, and accept the property in “AS IS” condition.  The County is reserving, for the benefit of the abutting properties and their current owners, a utility easement and an access easement across the property for ingress and egress purposes.  The County will retain mineral rights in accordance with Florida Statutes, Section 270.11, but will not retain rights of entry and exploration.  Closing will occur within 30 days of Board approval. This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District 2 (HJF)

 

7.         Staff recommends motion to:

 

A) adopt resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in a 0.21 acre parcel of surplus property improved with a 1,232 SF manufactured home to the City of Belle Glade without charge pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 197.592(3), with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration; and

 

B) approve County Deed in favor of the City of Belle Glade.

 

SUMMARY:  In July 2017, the County acquired a 0.21 acre parcel of surplus property improved with a 1,232 SF manufactured home located within the municipal boundaries of the City of Belle Glade by Tax Deed.  The parcel serves no present or future County purpose.  A recent appraisal valued the property at $35,000. The parcel is being conveyed to the City pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 197.592(3), which requires the conveyance of surplus properties acquired by tax deed to the municipality in which it is located. This conveyance will relieve the County of potential liability for occurrences on the property.  The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

A) Proposed allocations for funding following an RFP process for the service categories of Domestic Abuse/Sheltering and Homelessness, under the Financially Assisted Agencies (FAA) Program, for the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019, in a total amount not to exceed $1,615,920; and

 

B) Allocations for renewal funding in the Behavioral Health and Special Needs/Developmental Disability, Economic Stability/Poverty, Senior Services, and Non-competitive service categories, under the FAA Program, for the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019, in a total amount not to exceed $11,255,152.

 

SUMMARY:  This item provides the recommended FY 2019 funding allocations for the FAA Program. The FAA recommendations in the Domestic Abuse/Sheltering and Homelessness categories reflect the results of an RFP process initiated in March of this year. On June 4, 2018, a second RFP for FY 2019 FAA funds was released. A panel review will convene on July 2, 2018 to score and rank the proposals. Public meetings were held on January 30, 2018 through January 31, 2018 and the funding priorities were established for the initial RFP. The initial RFP had three funding priorities: Housing, including permanent housing and Rapid Rehousing, Case Management, and Homeless Prevention. The second RFP was released to request projects in the funding priority of Rapid Rehousing and Case Management supporting a Rapid Rehousing program or a combination of both. Allocations in the other FAA categories are based on prior year’s funding as this is a renewal year in the three-year cycle for those categories.  The total amount of funding being allocated in this item is $12,871,072. Funding for these allocations is included in the County Administrator’s proposed FY 2019 budget and is subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
