recommends motion to:
A) ratify
Mayor’s signature on Cooperative Agreement No. FF204K184023 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, 2017 through June 30, 2018
in the total amount of $257,600; and
B) approve
budget amendment in the General Fund (Fund 0001) in the amount of $42,400 to
recognize the decreased award amount from $300,000 to $257,600.
SUMMARY: In
order for OEO to receive revenue from HUD for processing and resolving housing
discrimination complaints, execution of Cooperative Agreement No. FF204K184023
was required prior to September 17, 2018 to meet HUD’s FY 2018 federal funding
deadlines. The emergency signature process was utilized because there was
insufficient time to meet the application deadline under the regular agenda
process. The Agreement final award amount of $257,600 represents a $42,400
decrease over the budgeted $300,000, and includes $171,200 for case processing;
$5,000 for a post-cause supplement; $26,400 for training funds; and $55,000 for
administrative costs. Board ratification of the Mayor’s signature will ensure
the receipt of revenue under this Agreement. Countywide (DO)

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: resolution supporting the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) project to design and construct street lighting on
Australian Avenue from 1st Street to Blue Heron Boulevard within the
City of Riviera Beach (City). SUMMARY: Adopting this resolution will
support the construction of street lighting on Australian Avenue from 1st
Street to Blue Heron Boulevard, for an approximate 1.2-mile segment within the
municipal limits of the City. The City
will accept obligation for continued maintenance and operation expenses associated
with street lighting once installed by FDOT and has agreed to appropriate the
necessary funds. The City will also be
responsible for seeking required Palm Beach County (County) permits for FDOT
construction. FDOT will design and
construct the project, and the City will own, operate, and maintain the project
in perpetuity once construction is completed.
A separate agreement and permit between the City and the County will be
executed at a later date to formalize their obligations. The County will have no financial
responsibility toward the project. FDOT
requires support from the County for FDOT to construct improvements in County
road right-of-way. The project can be
identified in the FDOT Work Program under FM# 438384-1. District 7 (LBH)

motion to approve: Change
Order No. 1 with Community Asphalt Corporation (CAC) for a contract time
extension of 150 days to the Northlake Boulevard and Military Trail
Intersection Improvements project, R2017-0785.
Per PPM CW-F-050, this change order exceeds the 90 day threshold
relating to staff approvals of change orders to contracts, and requires the
Board of County Commissioners’ approval.
SUMMARY: Approval of Change Order No. 1 will extend
the contract time 150 days due to delays associated with unforeseen utility
conflicts with the proposed mast arm foundations for the project. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for
all contracts is 15%. CAC proposed 11.8%

period. SUMMARY: The Infrastructure Sales Tax project plan
includes sports lighting renewal/replacement projects at 45 locations in 11
parks throughout the County. The existing lighting is an older inefficient
metal halide type and has exceeded its expected life cycle. The lighting is
also in need of replacement to maintain safe play. In order to achieve the

for proposal for equipment/fixture supply was conducted. The County will direct
purchase the lighting systems from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC and provide the
materials to the successful contractor from the future installation bid. Although this contract does not have a
duration, it is anticipated that the contract will not extend beyond 18 months,
which is commensurate with the anticipated duration for the installation of the
lighting fixtures. All new lighting
systems will include a 25-year warranty.
Musco Sports Lighting, LLC is a national business. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal
established by the SBE Ordinance is 15% and 0% SBE participation was achieved

motion to approve: first amendment
to Utility Easement in favor of the Town of Jupiter for a water utility line

of Ellison Wilson Road, just south of Donald Ross Road in Juno Beach. The
County has recently completed a redevelopment of the Park to improve the
existing boat ramp, add a picnic area and bathroom, and add additional boat
trailer parking. During preliminary
design, it was discovered that there was an existing water line serving the
existing bathrooms, but an easement had never been granted to the Town. This
was corrected in May of 2014 when the County granted the Town a 12’ wide water
line easement (R2014-0600) for the existing bathrooms, which was recorded in
ORB 26794, Page 1518. The redevelopment included the addition of new bathroom
facilities in the picnic area near the boat ramp which required an extension of
the existing utility lines. Construction of the new bathrooms and utility lines
serving the bathrooms has been completed and the Town requires an easement for
those lines. This first amendment to
Utility Easement adds an approximate 303’ long leg to the existing water line
easement, which new leg covers an area of 3,637 square feet (.084 acre). This first
amendment will be recorded to provide notice of its existence and location.

17. Staff recommends
motion to approve: write-off of 56 housing
loans that matured during the years 1993-2012. SUMMARY: The Department
of Housing and Economic Sustainability (HES) programs offer loans for the
acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing utilizing either State or
Federal funding. Although the lending programs overall have been successful, a
small percentage of the loans have been deemed uncollectible by HES and the
County Attorney’s Office for various reasons, such as death of the mortgagor or
the foreclosure of the senior mortgage. Between 1993-2012, 4,400 loans were
administered through HES and of those loans, 56 have been deemed uncollectable.
The amount to be written off totals $1,217,042, and the 56 loans make up 1.3%
of the 4,400 mortgages and loans made by HES between 1993-2012. The total
amount of loans for that period is unavailable as no financial data was
available prior to 2004, however, the total amount of loans from 2004-2012 was
approximately $106 million. The current foreclosure rate in Palm Beach County
based on data provided by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development is
currently 7.5%. Writing off the remaining balances will remove the old loans
from the current listings in order to reconcile the Department’s financial

18. Staff recommends
motion to approve: revised Program Guidelines for the Palm Beach County
Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (BRLF) Program. SUMMARY: On January 14,
2014, the BRLF Program received an allocation of $1,000,000 from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to be used for financial assistance to qualified
borrowers and subgrantees to clean up properties that have been designated as
brownfields. Subsequently, two additional BRLF allocations were awarded
by EPA increasing the total grant to $1,400,000. The first totaled
$300,000 and was awarded on October 28, 2015. The second totaled $100,000
and was awarded on September 29, 2016. Eligibility for the BRLF program
includes borrowers that may be private or public entities and subgrantees that
may be nonprofit organizations or public entities. Eligible projects must
be located within Palm Beach County. Loans will be at three percent (3%)
interest for terms of five to 15 years and borrowers will be required to
provide a minimum of 10% equity. All loans will be collateralized. Loan
amounts will be based on analysis of the loan application and the cost of
cleaunup activities. Loans and subgrants will help fund the remediation
required for site cleanup, which will then allow for redevelopment and job
creation. This item corrects a scrivener’s error in the Program
Guidelines document in the Loan Review Committee (LRC) Approval section that
removes the words ‘and/or subgrant’. A loan Review Committee will review
loan applications and make funding recommendations. These EPA funds require a 20% local
match to be provided by subgrantees and borrowers. Countywide

SUMMARY: On January 14,
2014, the County entered into a Cooperative Agreement (R2014-0058) with EPA, as
amended, to receive $1,400,000 to capitalize and establish the County’s
Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (BRLF) Program with an initial performance
period of five years. The BRLF Program offers financial assistance to qualified
borrowers and subgrantees to cleanup properties that have been designated as
Brownfields. This Amendment provides 24
additional months to the BRLF Program period from September 30, 2018 to
September 30, 2020, to allow time to complete goals in the BRLF work plan. Amendment 005 to the Subgrant Agreement
(R2015-0745) with the City of South Bay increases the funding from $200,000 to
$350,000 and provides a 24 month extension to complete the project. The project entails cleanup of a petroleum
contaminated site located at 480 U.S. Highway 27 North in South Bay. The increase in project funding will enable
completion of additional cleanup activities and site monitoring requirements as
established by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. These

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) “Utility
Work by Highway Contractor Agreement (At Utility Expense)” (UWHCA) with
Florida’s Department of Transportation (FDOT) in the amount of $225,664.73; and
B) authorization to the Country Administrator, or designee,
to approve increased utility relocation costs up to a cumulative project cost
of $500,000.
SUMMARY: On October
17, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a UWHCA (at FDOT
Expense) (R2017-1590) for improvements to State Road 91 (Florida Turnpike) from
Lantana Toll Plaza to SR 802 (Lake Worth Rd.). These proposed improvements will
necessitate the relocation of an existing 12” Force Main and an existing 12”
Water Main at Lantana Road across the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) E-2W
Canal located on the west side of the Turnpike. During final review of the
project, FDOT determined that a portion of the work was within the FDOT
right-of-way and required compensation on the part of the County to pay for
that portion of the work. In order to
pay for the design and relocation of the afore-mentioned facilities owned and
maintained by Water Utilities Department, and to include them within the road
improvement project, FDOT requires the County to enter into a UWHCA to
reimburse FDOT for the work. Inclusion
of the utility relocation work in the FDOT road improvement project will save
costs and ensure that the project is not delayed due to the complexity of the
required work. The consultant for FDOT will prepare the relocation plan and the
construction will be performed by FDOT’s contractor. The UWHCA, based on an
engineer’s cost estimate, is $225,664.73. In certain circumstances, the lowest
responsive and responsible bid for the utility work to be undertaken as part of
the FDOT project is higher than the authorized amount of the UWHCA. If the bid exceeds the official cost estimate
by more than 10%, the County is required to notify FDOT in writing within ten
days if the work will still be performed as part of the road improvement
project or if the utility will elect to have the utility work removed from the
FDOT contract. Given the complexity of
the project, removal of the utility relocation work would result in project
delays, oversight conflicts, and additional project costs. Therefore, staff
recommends the BCC authorize the County Administrator, or designee, to approve
any increase in utility relocation costs up to a cumulative project cost of
$500,000. Any approval of an increase will be brought back to the BCC as a receive
and file item at the next meeting. (WUD Project No.17-076) Districts 2, 3, 5

C) authorize Clerk’s office to disburse $35,040 from the Cooperative Extension Revenue Fund (Fund 1482) in the amount of $35,040 back to the Friends.
SUMMARY: On July 25, 2018, the Friends made a donation of $35,040 to the County for the design, fabrication, installation, required insurance coverage and for County Public Art Administrator’s role in Brushwork, LLC contract management, which was approved at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on August 14, 2018. The Friends initially determined that the County should develop an Agreement for Art Services contract with Brushwork, LLC (Artist), Patrick Dougherty’s company. Authorization to reverse this donation would enable the Friends, under a Standard License Agreement for use of County owned property with the County, to directly enter into an agreement with the Artist for all aspects of the creation, installation, management and removal of the Artwork. Friends will remit a payment of $35,040 directly to the Artist. The Friends intention is to engage Patrick Dougherty, an international acclaimed Artist who creates monumental scale environmental works. In this case, the Artwork would be a one of a kind exhibit which involves a Community Build experience with volunteers. The Garden will be getting exactly the same product as originally envisioned, so the reversal of the donation in no way compromises the final product that has been envisioned. Countywide (AH)

motion to approve: modification of the
Economic Development Incentive Agreement Requirements. SUMMARY: On November 16, 1993 the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) established the Palm Beach County Job Growth
Incentive Fund Policy and Program (R93-1519) to stimulate economic growth in
Palm Beach County by either attracting new businesses to the County or by
encouraging the expansion of existing business within the County. When a cash or Ad Valorem Tax Exemption is
provided to a company as an incentive to relocate or expand in the County, the
Economic Development Incentive Agreement (Agreement) is the legal document
executed between the BCC and a company detailing the commitments and mutual
covenants agreed to by both parties. The incentive can be provided as the
required local match to a State incentive program, or independently from the
County. The Department of Housing and Economic Sustainability (HES), is
responsible for administration of the program as well as the development and
monitoring of Agreements. County Administration and HES staff developed the
recommended modifications at the request of and with input from the Florida
Department of Economic Opportunity, Enterprise FL and The Business Development
Board. In summary, the recommended modifications (Attachment 1 to the agenda item)
better align with key definitions and notice requirements with that of the
State’s Agreement and streamline certain programmatic requirements for improved
compliance and monitoring of the Agreement. Key requirements of the County’s
Agreement, including the provision of security (in the form of a letter of
credit or cash bond) and the Final Performance Audit remain as requirements in
the Agreement. Countywide (JB)

Florida and $38,400 is a required match from local government entities. Palm Beach County and the City of Boca Raton
will equally share the required local match.

1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt resolution authorizing the re-conveyance of
the County’s interest in 0.039 acres of real property located in unincorporated
Delray Beach to the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) without charge and
without reservation of mineral and petroleum rights; and
B) approve Corrective County Deed in favor of the Lake Worth Drainage District.
SUMMARY: On
October 6, 2015, the BCC approved the conveyance of a 0.039 acre of property
along the shore of Lake Eden in Delray Beach to LWDD by Resolution R2015-1387.
Recently, the Property Appraiser found that the surveyor made a scrivener’s
error in the legal description of the County Deed (R2015-1388) which requires
correction. A revised sketch and legal description of the .039 acre site was
obtained, then reviewed and approved by staff, LWDD and the Property
Appraiser’s Office. This Corrective County Deed is being issued to LWDD in
order to correct the scrivener’s error in the County Deed dated October 6,
2015, as recorded in ORB 27866, Page 1946. This Corrective Deed will be
recorded and will not retain mineral and petroleum rights as provided for in
Florida Statutes Section 270.11. This re-conveyance must be approved by a
Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners) pursuant to the PREM Ordinance. (PREM) District 4 (HJF)
2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt resolution authorizing an extension to the term of the Concessionaire
Service Agreement (Agreement) dated October 21, 2014 (R2014-1635), as amended,
with Tennis Insights, Inc. (Tennis Insights), for the continued management and
operation of the Tennis and Racquetball Center (Center) at Burt Aaronson South
County Regional Park for a period of 30 days commencing on November 1, 2018,
and continue on a month to month basis, if necessary, until terminated at a
monthly rate of $1,485.69 ($17,828.29 annually); and
B) approve Notice to Extend the Term of Agreement dated October 21, 2014
(R2014-1635), as amended.
SUMMARY:
Tennis Insights has managed and operated the Tennis and Racquetball
Center (Center) at Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park under this current
Agreement since October 2014. In May
2018, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued for tennis and racquetball
concession services at the Park and staff is finalizing a concessionaire
agreement with the selected respondent.
The term of the Agreement expires on October 31, 2018. Rather than close the Center until a new
concessionaire agreement is awarded, Tennis Insights has agreed to continue to
operate and manage the Center until such time an award is made, at the same
rent of $1,485.69 per month. Staff believes it to be in the County’s best
interest to extend the Agreement for a period of 30 days so that staff can
schedule the new concessionaire agreement for the November 20, 2018, Board
meeting. This extension will extend the term of the Agreement for a period of 30
days commencing on November 1, 2018, and continue on a month to month basis, if
necessary, to coincide with the approval of the new concessionaire
agreement. The rent will remain at the
current rate of $17,828.29/year ($1,485.69/monthly). County may terminate the Agreement at any
time upon 15 days notice to Concessionaire.
All other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. Parks will continue to
have administrative responsibility for this Agreement. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: second amendment to Lease Agreement (R2009-1281)
with 5060 Loxahatchee Retail, LLC, for the continued use of 4,050 SF in the
Grove Market Shopping Center in Westlake, for Fire Rescue temporary Station No.
22 for the period of May 25, 2019 through December 31, 2019, at an annual
rental rate of $88,887.06 ($21.95/SF). SUMMARY: Since January 2002, the Fire Rescue Department has
operated its temporary Station No. 22 out of a 4,050 SF office space within the
Grove Market Shopping Center located at 5060 Seminole Pratt Whitney Road in the
City of Westlake. On March 10, 2015, the
Board approved the first amendment (R2015-0362) which extended the term to May
24, 2019. In 2016, 5060 Loxahatchee
Retail, LLC acquired the Shopping Center from the prior landlord, FUCMT 2001-C4
Seminole Road, LLC. Construction of the permanent Station is expected to
commence in January of 2019 and be completed by November 2019. This second amendment will extend the term
from May 25, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
In addition, this second amendment reflects 5060 Loxahatchee Retail, LLC
as the new owner; and updates various standard County provisions. The Annual gross
rent is $88,887.06 ($21.95/SF). All other terms of the Lease Agreement remain
unchanged. PREM will continue to manage
this Lease Agreement. (PREM)
District 6 (HJF)
4. Staff recommends
motion to: allow the lease with LJL Food Management d/b/a
Tina’s Café (R2002-0829) to expire and to use the 2,500 SF of space vacated by
Tina’s Café for County departments. SUMMARY:
LJL Food Management, Inc., d/b/a
Tina’s Café has been the food service
provider operating in the Governmental Center Parking Garage since 2005. The current Lease Agreement with Tina’s Café
will expire on January 31, 2019. On September 17, 2017 (Agenda Item 5A-1), the
Board supported Staff’s recommendation that the Board pursue legal action for
non-payment of rent, including termination of the lease. Shortly after their receipt of default notice,
Tina’s Café brought the rent current and has been timely remitting payments
thereafter. As there is no longer a
basis for legal action against Tina’s, Staff recommends that the lease be
allowed to expire and Tina’s be required to vacate the premises on January 31,
2019. Staff believes it is no longer
necessary to continue to have a food service operation within the Governmental
Center Garage. There are numerous restaurants operating at various price points
within the downtown area, many of which provide delivery service at reasonable
costs and staff, if approved, will return with options for food service on
site, not involving the lease of the space. Several County departments and
three judicial partners have existing needs for additional office space in the
Governmental Center or on the campus.
Staff recommends that the space previously occupied by Tina’s be made
available for use by one or more of those departments. (PREM) Countywide

5. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Concessionaire Service Agreement (Agreement) with
Jupiter Outdoor Center, Inc. (JOC), a Florida corporation, for the operation of
a water sports and recreational rental equipment concession at
Riverbend/Loxahatchee River Battlefield Park for $26,400/year ($2,200/month)
for a period of three years commencing no later than 60 days after Board
approval. SUMMARY: In January 2018, a Request For Proposals
(RFP) was issued for the operation of a water sports and recreational rental
equipment concession at the Park for park visitors. Six proposals were received and a Selection
Committee ranked the proposal from JOC as the highest ranked respondent/proposer. South Florida Water Management District
(District) owns the property upon which the kayak launch area is constructed
and District objects to the use of its property for this concession. Staff has
reconfigured the licensed area, to avoid placing any improvements on the
District’s property and reduced it by ½, and reduced JOC’s proposed guaranteed
annual rent by 12% from $30,000/year ($2,500/month) to $26,400/year
($2,200/month), which is above the County’s minimum guaranteed annual rent of
$24,000/year ($2,000/month), required in the RFP. Should the County acquire title to the kayak
launch area from the District, the licensed area will be increased and the
guaranteed annual rent will be adjusted back to $30,000/year ($2,500/month)
(JOC’s original proposed amount). JOC
will pay a commission fee equal to the amount by which 18% of JOC’s annual
gross revenues exceeds the guaranteed annual rent. The initial term of the Agreement is for
three years, with two options to extend, each for a period of five years. JOC
has proposed making $300,000 in capital improvements during the initial term
which includes a 20’ Conex container and patio that will be used as its
point-of-sale building. If JOC does not
make the capital improvements during the initial term, the County may terminate
the Agreement. JOC has posted a $1,000 security deposit. The Parks Department will manage and
administer the Agreement. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: amendment to Palm Tran’s Fare Policy to establish
fares for the Palm Tran Connection Belle Glade Flex Route (Flex Route) and
Dial-A-Ride Pilot Service. SUMMARY: On August 14, 2018, the Board
of County Commissioners (BCC) authorized staff to implement the proposed Flex
Route and Dial-A-Ride service for the Belle Glade region as part of the Route
Performance Maximization (RPM) Project.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) to secure a vendor to operate the pilot
service was issued on September 10, 2018. Contract award to the selected vendor
is scheduled to be presented to the BCC for approval at the November 20, 2018
meeting and commencement of service is scheduled for December 1, 2018. The Flex Route and Dial-A-Ride service will utilize
smaller type vehicles similar to Palm Tran Connection vehicles and not fixed
route buses.
Staff is proposing a new fare for the Flex Route and Dial-A-Ride Service
as delineated below:

Service. Passengers will have the option
of deviating from the scheduled flex route up to and within ¾ mile of the route
for an additional $.50 charge per deviation.
The Flex Route Service will also offer a Dial-a-Ride (DAR) service to 12
Palm Tran bus stops that were formally served by Palm Tran Fixed Route 48 that
have been merged with Route 47 with the implementation of the RPM Project. The DAR service will provide first and last
mile connections to and from Palm Tran’s Fixed Route stops or locations within
a limited area for a fare of $2.00 per trip. Countywide. (DR)
