13 3C-5 DELETED FOR FURTHER STAFF REVIEW: Staff recommends motion to

with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc. (Ranger), to extend the expiration

25 3H-14 REVISED SUMMARY: There is no SBE
participation on this work order. The overall participation on the annual HVAC

Council Against Sexual Violence (FCASV) in the amount of $619,318 to define

provide sexual assault recovery services; (Public Safety)
57 5D-3 REVISED SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Acquisition, Disposition and
Leasing Ordinance (commonly referred to as the PREM Ordinance) was
amended in 2009 to implement recommendations of the Palm Beach County Grand
Jury, including requiring a supermajority vote to approve all purchases,… At
the request of Housing and Economic Sustainability, this repealed and replaced
PREM Ordinance allows for the sale of workforce housing units in accordance
with the Workforce Housing Program to be sold directly to a qualified buyer
without a competitive process, without an additional appraisals, beyond
that obtained by the County in connection with acquisition of the unit, and
without review by the PRC. (FDO)
58 5D-5 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to: A) approve a contract with Song &
Associates, Inc. to provide
professional architectural/engineering design, programming, site plan approval,
permitting, and construction administration services for the new Supervisor of
Elections Production Facility project to be located at the Cherry Road complex
for a period of three years and four months or until the construction achieves
final completion; and B) authorize
the County Administrator or designee to execute Consultant Services
Authorization (CSA) No. 1 in an amount not to exceed $200,000. SUMMARY:
In 2009, the County entered into a sublease for a 76,602 square foot space
in Riviera Beach for the Supervisor of Elections Production Facility. The
existing Supervisor of Elections production facility houses all of the Election
Day ballot processing, production, voting equipment, and materials to support
the election operations. At the time, the production facility met both the
immediate and potential future needs of the Supervisor of Elections. While the
leased space was responsive to the immediate need for a large open space, it did
not consider, and as a result did not have the flexibility to accommodate the
impacts of; 1) a significant increase in the number of absentee ballots; 2)
support facilities for the volume of persons assigned to the facility (parking,
restrooms, support spaces); and 3) the need for dedicated spaces and technology
for media and observers. In order to properly address the facilities daily
operational requirements, CSA No. 1 authorizes a full programming study
and site analysis to document the efficiencies, develop options to accomplish
the same on county owned property, and compare a co-located option which
relocates both facilities (the main office (on Gun Club Road) and the
production facility (in Riviera Beach)) to the Cherry Road site (Comparative
Study). The County will evaluate the results of the Comparative Study in order
to determine the most appropriate solution to be used as the scope of the
project to be designed. Following this expanded programming phase, professional
services will include site-planning, design, construction documents, permitting
and construction administration services. Maintaining the preliminary schedule
outlined in the request for proposal is critical to the County as the timeline
coincides with the expiration of the lease agreement currently in place for the
production facility. In order to maintain this timeline, staff is requesting
authorization for the County Administrator or designee to execute CSA No. 1 to
complete the Comparative Study. The solicitation for design professionals was
advertised on June 9, 2019 according to the Equal Business Opportunity Program,
with the final selection taking place on September 6, 2019. The project
was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on May 15, 2019 that established an
affirmative procurement initiative requiring a minimum mandatory goal of 20%
SBE participation and awarding 15 points evaluation preference for SBE
participation. Song & Associates, Inc. is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE)
and will be utilizing five SBEs and Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE)
sub-consultants. The prime consultant has committed to 80% S/W/MBE
participation. Song & Associates, Inc. has engaged Alan Gerwig &
Associates, Inc., as a sub-consultant on this project. Anne Gerwig of Alan Gerwig
& Associates, Inc. has disclosed that she is serving as the Mayor of
Wellington and currently serves on Palm Beach County’s Health and Human
Services Committee. As Mayor, Anne Gerwig had no decision-making authority as
it relates to this contract. In the event any item would come before her that
would offer a special financial benefit to her or her business relating to this
contract, Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc. has disclosed that it would
require her to recuse herself from that item, thereby removing any conflict of
interest for herself, Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc. or the County. Anne
Gerwig also serves as chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee on Health and
Human Services as a Palm Beach County League of Cities representative, which is
purely an advisory board and provided no regulation, oversight, management or
policy setting recommendations regarding this Contract. Pursuant to the Code of
Ethics Section 2-443 this matter is disclosed herein to allow Song
& Associates, Inc., to utilize Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc., as
a sub-consultant on this contract. (Capital Improvements Division) Countywide/District

C. ENGINEERING
& PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an
agreement with Huntington Lakes, Inc. (Community) for enforcement of the
traffic laws of the state to be performed by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office
(Sheriff). SUMMARY: Approval of this agreement will authorize the Sheriff to
provide enforcement of the traffic laws of the state upon the private roadways
during normal patrol hours within the Community. District 5 (YBH)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an agreement with Pin-Gro-Vil, Inc. (Community) for
enforcement of the traffic laws of the state to be performed by the Palm Beach
County Sheriff’s Office (Sheriff). SUMMARY: Approval of this agreement
will authorize the Sheriff to provide enforcement of the traffic laws of the
state upon the private roadways during normal patrol hours within the
Community. District 3 (YBH)
3. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a resolution authorizing the conveyance to the Village of Palm Springs
(Village) of four parcels with property control numbers
70-43-44-08-04-000-0482, 70-43-44-19-11-002-0249, 70-43-44-19-08-000-1050, and
70-42-44-24-04-000-0410; and
B) approve a Palm Beach County (County) deed to convey
the parcels at no cost to the Village.
SUMMARY: On October
25, 2018, the Village requested the transfer of the County’s property interest
in the subject parcels to allow the municipality to maintain and have
jurisdictional control throughout its municipal boundaries for a public
purpose. The County normally reserves its interest in phosphate, minerals,
metals and petroleum rights per Section 270.11(1), Florida Statutes. However,
the Village has requested the release of this reservation because it requires
the properties to be free and clear without encumbrances, which could impede
the use of the properties. Three of the
four parcels were acquired by tax deed, and one was acquired by a dedication
for drainage purposes. Staff has determined that the parcels serve no present
or future County purpose. All parcels are located within the Village’s
municipal boundaries. The parcels are being conveyed to the Village pursuant to
Section 125.38, Florida Statutes. This conveyance will relieve the County of
potential liability and the cost of maintenance for these properties. All
purchases, sales and exchanges of fee simple title to real property must be
approved by a super majority vote (5 Commissioners) pursuant to County
Ordinance 2009-052. District 3 (YBH)
4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Change Order No. 1 with MJC Land Development (MJC)
in the amount of $152,510.84 and a contract time extension of 58 days to the
Davis Road over LWDD L-6 Canal Bridge Replacement Project R2018-1328
(Project). SUMMARY: Per PPM CW-F-050, this change order exceeds the threshold of
$100,000 relating to staff approvals of change orders to contracts, and
requires the Board of County Commissioners approval. Change Order No. 1 will compensate MJC for
costs and delays associated with the discovery of unforeseen utility conflicts
with the existing Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department water mains and

A) the fourth
amendment to the structural engineering annual contract (R2017-0026) dated
January 10, 2017 with Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc. (AGA); and
B) a work task order
to the contract with AGA in the amount of $309,498.60 for professional services for the Donald Ross
Road Bascule Bridge Equipment Rehabilitation (Project).
SUMMARY:
Approval of this fourth amendment will update the language of the
termination section, access and audits section, criminal history records check
section, non-discrimination section, scrutinized companies section, and add the
vendor self-service registration required section to be compliant with current
Palm Beach County standards. Approval of
this work task order will provide the
design services necessary for the Project.
The services include rehabilitation of the hydraulic, mechanical
and electrical systems for the project. The solicitation for structural engineering
design professionals was advertised on August 7, 2016 and August 14, 2016. The contract was approved on January 10,
2017, prior to the effective date of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance
and pursuant to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance at the time. The
SBE goal for all contracts is 15%. AGA
proposed 100% SBE participation. The SBE
participation for this work task order is 10.18% due to there being no
available SBE subconsultants for bascule bridge work. The cumulative SBE
participation to date including this work task order is 63.7%. Prior to this work task order, AGA’s
cumulative SBE participation was 96.1%.
AGA is a Palm Beach County based company and a certified SBE
company. Anne Gerwig, Mayor of
Wellington, is owner of 1% of AGA. In
the event any item would come before her that would offer a special financial
benefit to her or her business relating to this contract, AGA has disclosed
that it would require her to recuse herself from that item, thereby removing
any conflict of interest for herself, AGA or the County. Anne Gerwig also serves as chair of the
Citizens Advisory Committee on Health and Human Services as a Palm Beach County
League of Cities representative, which is purely advisory and without oversight
of this contract. Disclosure of these
contractual relationships at a noticed public meeting is provided in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2-443, of the Palm Beach County Code of Ethics. District

motion to:
A) accept a warranty deed for property
designated as parcel 101 for fee simple road right-of-way, and a permanent
easement for property designated as parcel 301 necessary for the construction
of intersection improvements on South Military Trail at West Linton Boulevard
(Project); and
B) approve the negotiated payment of $282,179 for parcels 101
and 301 necessary for the construction of the Project.
SUMMARY: Approval of the negotiated amount will allow Palm Beach County (County)
to acquire parcel 101, a fee simple road right-of-way, and parcel 301, a
permanent easement needed to construct the Project. The Project will construct a northbound
right turn lane and includes resurfacing, the installation of drainage
infrastructure, sidewalks, and an updated traffic signal at the intersection of
West Linton Boulevard and South Military Trail. An appraisal was obtained with
a fair market value of $195,194. The property owner’s original counter-offer
was $481,749, inclusive of business damages, attorney’s fees and expert costs.
The Engineering Department and the County Attorney’s Office negotiated a
purchase amount of $282,179
inclusive of the property owner’s attorney fees, engineering fees, and
appraisal costs. Parcel 301 was originally proposed to be a temporary
construction easement, but the property owner offered to convert the temporary
construction easement to a permanent easement, which will allow the County to
access parcel 301 in perpetuity. After fees and costs are subtracted, the
purchase represents approximately a 28%
increase over the appraised amount. Although, the figure represents a 28%
increase over the appraised amount, this negotiated settlement will avoid the
expenses of condemnation including fees and costs. Districts 4 & 5

B) Work Order 2018051-57 in the amount of
$250,000 to mill and resurface Central Boulevard from Indian Creek Parkway to
Indiantown Road utilizing the County’s Contract with Ranger.
SUMMARY: Per County
PPM CW-F-050, these work orders exceed the $200,000 threshold for staff
approvals of work orders to annual contracts, thus requiring approval from the
Board of County Commissioners. Approval
of these work orders will allow the contractual services necessary to construct
the improvements. Prior to these work orders, approximately $11 million of
Ranger’s $16 million Contract has been spent or encumbered. This annual
construction bid was solicited on July 8, 2018, prior to the effective date of
the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance and pursuant to the Small Business
Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance at the time. On October 16, 2018, the BCC approved
the Contract with Ranger to provide milling and resurfacing of County roadways
for countywide projects. Ranger proposed 15% SBE participation for the Contract
and for these work orders. Approval of these work orders will result in a
cumulative SBE participation of 15% for all the work orders issued under the
Contract. These projects are funded

2019 to July 31, 2019 terminating the agreement due to early completion and

B) a FY 2019 budget amendment of $6,000,
in the Ryan White Care Program fund to align the budget to actual grant award.
SUMMARY: On March 1, 2016, the Board of County
Commissioners ratified the Ryan White Part A, Data Integration Grant
Application (R2016-0239) with the RAND Corporation. On July 17, 2019, the Palm
Beach County Community Services Department (CSD) received an early termination
notice due to the early completion of the Addressing HIV Care Project. The
RAND Corporation issued the fifth and last agreement amendment, which
represents a revised end date and a reduction of the total cumulative amount
not to exceed $252,173.49. The reduction
in funding is due to the actual costs incurred on the project, which were less
than projected. The Addressing HIV Care Project was a collaboration between the
CSD and the City of West Palm Beach’s Department of Housing and Community
Development. The successful collaboration integrated data management systems
between the Ryan White Part A and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
programs. The project improved the delivery of medical and housing services,
improved the coordination of service delivery and quality management through
improved data infrastructure for homeless HIV-positive clients. No County funds are required. (Ryan White Program) Countywide (HH)

motion to receive and file: a Consultant
Service Authorization (CSA) No. 1 to the professional services contract
(R2019-0984) with PGAL, Inc. (Consultant) for the completion of a comparative
study and final recommendations on the disposition of the Animal Care &
Control Renewal/Replacement/Renovation (ACC R/R/R) Project located at 7100
Belvedere Road, West Palm Beach in the amount of $155,160. SUMMARY: On July 2, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) authorized the County Administrator or designee to execute CSA No. 1 in
an amount not to exceed $200,000, via Agenda Item 5F-1. This authorization
addressed a directive issued by BCC during the January 29, 2019 workshop
instructing staff to prepare a more in-depth programming study (Comparative
Study). The study would: 1) validate/confirm the program/needs, and 2)
specifically look at opportunities, challenges and costs, including continuity
of operations during construction of an entirely new facility on the existing
site versus accomplishing the project via the R/R/R approach currently contemplated.
The comparative study will be developed in conjunction with public input via
targeted public outreach sessions, which will be facilitated by the consultant
team. The results of the comparative study will be evaluated by the County in
order to determine the most appropriate solution (or some combination) to be
used as the scope of the project to be designed. The attached CSA to this
agenda item was fully executed on behalf of BCC by the Director of the
Facilities Development and Operations Department. In accordance with the County Policy and Procedures Manual
CW-O-051, all delegated contracts, agreements and grants must be submitted by
the initiating Department as a receive and file agenda item. The solicitation
for design professionals was advertised pursuant to the requirements of the
Equal Business Opportunity ordinance. The project was presented to the Goal
Setting Committee on March 6, 2019, and an Affirmative Procurement Initiative
of 20% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation was applied. The prime
consultant is not a SBE, but will be utilizing four sub-consultants that are
Small/Women/Minority Business Enterprises. The consultant submitted 33.69% SBE
participation and 10.8% M/WBE participation. Funding for this project is the ACC R/R/R IST Project Fund.

Florida Mechanical, LLC. (R2019-1040) in the amount of $202,465 for the Fire
Rescue Headquarters-Recondition Water Cooled Chillers project for the period of
90 days from permit issuance or until project is complete. SUMMARY: The
chillers at Fire Rescue Headquarters are at least ten years old and no longer
function efficiently. The equipment is in need of refurbishment due to
premature coil and sensor deterioration. The work consists of refurbishing
three chillers by replacing deteriorated coils and compressors and cleaning the
chiller barrels. The chillers are being refurbished in accordance with Trane’s
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) chiller refurbishment service and
compressor renewal program. The renewal program will restore the existing
chillers to original factory operating condition, thereby extending the life
cycle of the chillers along with upgrading the operating efficiency to provide
years of service, reduced maintenance and lower the overall operating costs.
This work order was solicited pursuant to the Heating Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) annual contract and the requirements of the Equal Business
Opportunity Ordinance. The annual contract was presented to the Goal Setting
Committee on January 2, 2019 and an Affirmative Procurement Initiative of
sheltered market was applied for projects under $100,000 (when four or more
Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) are qualified under the annual contract) or
an SBE contractor will be given a price preference if their bid is within 10%
of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for projects in excess of
$100,000. There is no SBE participation on this work order. The overall
participation on the annual HVAC construction contract is 61.93% 60.39%

constructability of an entirely new facility on the existing site, proceeding
with the R/R/R approach or a combination of both, and 3) specifically looks at
opportunities, challenges and costs, including continuity of operations during
construction. The Construction Manager’s (CM) role in the comparative study is
to validate constructability, provide phasing input for continuity of services
and cost estimates for the proposed options. Once the construction documents
are completed, the CM will bid the work and provide a GMP. The work will be
authorized through an amendment submitted to the board to commence construction
management services. The solicitation for a CM was advertised on April 7, 2019
according to the requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity (EBO)
ordinance. On March 20, 2019, the Goal Setting Committee established an
Affirmative Procurement Initiative awarding up to 15 evaluation points for a

is not a certified Small/Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise. The CM has
partnered with Messam Construction, an MBE CM, for services in the amount no
less than 15% of the CM fee and overhead/profit earned by the CM. The CM is on
notice that all GMP’s issued pursuant to this contract will be subject to the
requirements of the EBO ordinance including requesting Affirmative Procurement

recorded in Official Record Book 30577, Page 325 of the Official Records of
Palm Beach County, Florida. However, the
Declaration placed certain unacceptable conditions upon the County, including
requiring indemnification from the County and a prevailing party attorneys’
fees provision. WUD requested that Azola provide this separate Easement to the
County in the County’s standard utility easement form, with modifications to
clarify that; (1) the Easement is granted to Palm Beach County in lieu of the
Declaration; and (2) Palm Beach County rejects the rights and obligations

4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a Partial
Release of Utility Easement for that easement recorded in the Official Records
of Palm Beach County, ORB 10513, Page 775. SUMMARY: Water Utilities Department (WUD) is seeking
the release of the County’s interest in a utility easement recorded in the
Official Records of Palm Beach County as noted above. During a building permit modification, it was
discovered that a portion of an existing building was constructed within the
utility easement. WUD has determined
that a small portion of the existing easement can be released rather than
relocating the existing water main or the building. WUD has determined that
this release will reduce the length of the easement by 3.28’ feet in a very small
location and recommends approval of the release. District 5 (MJ)

1) Paragraph 6.a. - as State employees/personnel, CHD
employees are not "officers, agents, or employees of the County";
2) Paragraph 7.c. - The County shall assure that insurance
coverage for vehicles is available through either a self-insurance program or
insurance purchased by the County except for insurance referenced in paragraph
7.e.;

insured on any agreement in which the CHD contracts or subcontracts any work to
be performed on the premises to a third party; and
4) Paragraph 7.e. - As a State agency, the CHD agrees to
be responsible for its own, its officers', employees', or agents' negligent
acts, or omissions, or tortuous acts, which result in claims or suits against
the parties, and agrees to be liable for any damages proximately caused by said
acts or omissions.
SUMMARY: This contract sets forth the funding responsibilities of
the DOH and the County for the operation of the CHD. The State and County share
in the funding of the $9,305,079 Environmental Health Budget. The State's share
is $2,332,507 (29.50%), primarily from State general revenue and fees. Funding
from the County's FY 2020 budget is $2,114,162 (22.70%), which includes
Childcare Enforcement & Control Funding in the amount of $126,888 and is
equal to FY 2019 funding. The remaining local share (47.8%) is comprised of
County authorized fees of $2,981,516 (32.04%), federal funds of $360,365
(3.9%), Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Funds of $104,034 (1.1%),
and Air Pollution Tag Fees of $1,101,777
(10.8%). County funding is used primarily for staff-related salaries and
benefits. The environmental staffing is responsible for surveillance of public
drinking water systems, permitting and inspection of septic tanks, regulation
of air pollution sources, inspection and licensing of childcare and other group
care facilities, and other duties related to environmental health. The
Childcare Enforcement & Control funding provides for a full time
attorney/Hearing Officer and a half-time paralegal position to provide counsel
for the Child Care Advisory Council and to serve as Acting Environmental
Control Officer for the Environmental Control Hearing Board. County funds are
included in the FY 2020 budget. No

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the purchase of airport liability insurance, for the
period October 10, 2019 through October 10, 2020; to be purchased through the
County’s contracted broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. for a total cost of
$132,528. SUMMARY: The
total cost of $132,528 for airport liability insurance represents a 10%
increase over the expiring premium for the same $200,000,000 limits of
liability. Due to numerous large losses
throughout the industry within the last year, the aviation market has increased
significantly in cost. While similar sized agencies are experiencing as much as
a 15% increase in premium, ours remains very reasonable due in large part to
the County’s proactive approach to controlling losses. Countywide (HH)
BB. YOUTH SERVICES
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) a
first amendment to Community Based Agency Contract (R2018-1668) with Boys and
Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County, Inc. (BGCPBC), renewing the contract for the
first of two one-year renewal options, for the period October 1, 2019 through
September 30, 2020, increasing the contract by $321,451, for a total amount of
$412,902, to fund the BCGPBC Great Futures Program, under the Youth Master Plan
Educational Supports’ action area; and
B) a
budget transfer of $230,000 in the general fund from the Head Start Match
reallocation (Unit 1451) for evidence-based/promising programming to fund the
cost associated with this first amendment.
SUMMARY: This contract includes a logic model and reporting measurements
specific to the agency and the work performed. After completion of each
contract year, a report will be developed detailing the agency’s progress in
meeting their performance measurements.
In October 2018 and April 2019, respectively, the Board of County
Commissioners (Board) approved Community Based Contracts with BGCPBC for the
Bright Futures Youth Volunteer Corp Program (R2018-1668) (n/k/a Great Futures
Program) and for the Career Bound 2.0 Program (R2019-0541) (CB 2.0 Program).
The Great Futures Program was funded in an amount of $91,451 for an
evidence-informed intervention that blends service learning, volunteerism, and
pre-college programming and was one of 14 contracts awarded/approved under the
Department’s Request for Proposals for Community Based Agencies FY 2019
(RFP). The CB 2.0 Program was funded in
an amount not to exceed $230,000 for the period April 16, 2019 through
September 30, 2019, for programming to prepare youth and young adults for
college and career readiness including summer employment opportunities. Funding
for this first amendment, blends the two programs while maintaining the same
services as under the BGCPBC’s proposal under the RFP, and increases the number
of youth served by 100, to 270, at six of its Clubs. The expanded Great Futures Program has three
components: 1) Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) which engages 70 youth in service
learning to include peer mentorship as a means to advance career bound learning
and will complete 100 hours of service per year; 2) Career Bound 2.0 component
which engages 200 middle and high school teens utilizing strategies based on
the evidence-based model (the addition of 100 middle school members represents
a program expansion); and 3) hiring members ages 16-18 as Junior Staff during
the summer months. Forty of the YVC
teens who have completed their 100 service hours will be eligible to apply for
these positions. The Great Futures
Program’s results through the first three quarters of FY2019 indicate 90% of
regularly attending 9th – 10th graders progressed to the
next grade level. This Summer’s Career Bound 2.0 Program resulted in 40
employment opportunities to youth. The effective date of service for the above contract
submitted for approval is prior to this meeting date. Countywide (HH)

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. Section 932.7055(5), Florida
Statutes, 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
2019 donation requirement is $177,018. 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 $1,261,330. The funds requested are to aid PBSO and
qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in Section 932.7055(5), Florida Statutes.
Use of LETF requires approval by the Board, upon request of the Sheriff. The current State LETF balance is $791,183.
Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund
balance to $686,183. The PBSO certifies that the use of
these funds is in accordance with Section
932.7055(5), Florida Statutes.
Below is a table indicating the organizations the PBSO seeks to fund and

ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
to be designated as the Vapor Free Public Park Playground Ordinance; providing
for a title; providing for applicability; providing for definitions; providing
for the prohibition of the use of vapor generating electronic devices at public
park playgrounds; providing for civil citations for violations; providing for
repeal of laws in conflict; providing for severability; providing for inclusion
in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for captions; and providing for
an effective date. SUMMARY: This ordinance, to be known as the
Vapor Free Public Park Playground Ordinance, will provide a prohibition of the
use of vapor generating electronic devices including e-cigarettes at County-operated
public park playgrounds. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has
stated that the use of e-cigarettes is unsafe for kids, teens and young adults.
E-cigarettes typically contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can harm
adolescent brain development, which continues into the early to mid-20s. E-cigarettes
can contain other harmful substances besides nicotine including ultrafine
particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs, flavorings such as diacetyl,
a chemical linked to a serious lung disease, volatile organic compounds,
cancer-causing chemicals, and heavy metals such as nickel, tin and lead. Vaping
in proximity of children engaging in or watching outdoor recreational activities
is detrimental to their health. If an
individual is found to have violated the ordinance, a civil citation will be

motion to approve on preliminary reading and
to advertise for Public Hearing on October 22, 2019 at 9:30 a.m.: an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida, amending section 27-161, “Liens of Assessments”, of Chapter 27,
Article VIII of the Palm Beach County Code, the “Potable Water, Wastewater, and
Reclaimed Water Special Assessment Ordinance”; providing for laws in conflict;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances;
and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Potable Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Special Assessment
Ordinance (Ordinance) provides for the levying of assessments and associated
liens upon properties that will specially benefit from the construction or
reconstruction of potable water, wastewater, and/or reclaimed water facilities.
The Board of County Commissioners (Board) has approved certain assessment
projects, allowing assessment liens to be paid in not more than 20 equal annual
installments. It was recently discovered that, based on an unintended
re-amortization of remaining assessment amounts for certain property owners
(Affected Owners) in existing assessment projects, the Affected Owners’ annual
installment payment amounts had been reduced below the original annual
installment payment amount. This re-amortization has resulted in the Affected
Owners not being on schedule to pay off their assessment liens in 20 equal
annual installments, which is the maximum number of annual installments
currently permitted by the Ordinance. In order to pay off the assessment lien
in 20 annual installments, each Affected Owners’ annual installment payment
amount would need to be increased beyond the original annual installment
payment amount provided to each Affected Owner at the time of the placement of
the assessment lien. Such an increase to
the annual installment payment amounts may cause financial hardship to the
Affected Owners. The amendment to the
Ordinance will allow the Board, upon good cause shown, to approve a resolution
directing that a lien(s) may be made payable in more than 20 annual
installments, which may not be equal and which may bear a fluctuating interest
rate. Any such resolutions shall be limited to address procedural
irregularities in the collection process, which irregularity is not the fault
of the property owner. The October 22,

II of the Palm Beach County Code, the “Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU)
Special Assessment Ordinance”; providing for laws in conflict; providing for

providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The MSTU Special Assessment Ordinance (Ordinance) provides for the
levying of assessments and associated liens upon properties that will specially
benefit from the construction of street improvements and related projects. The
BCC has already approved certain assessment projects, allowing assessment liens
to be paid in not more than 20 equal annual installments. It was recently
discovered that, based on an unintended re-amortization of remaining assessment
amounts for certain property owners (Affected Owners) in existing assessment
projects, the Affected Owners’ annual installment payment amounts had been
reduced below the original annual installment payment amount. This
re-amortization has resulted in the Affected Owners not being on schedule to
pay off their assessment liens in 20 equal annual installments, which is the
maximum number of annual installments currently permitted by the Ordinance. In
order to pay off the assessment lien in 20 annual installments, each Affected
Owners’ annual installment payment amount now needs to be increased beyond the
original annual installment payment amount provided to each Affected Owner at
the time of the placement of the assessment lien. Such an increase to the
annual installment payment amounts may cause financial hardship to the Affected
Owners. The amendment to the Ordinance will also allow the BCC, upon good
cause, to approve a resolution directing that a lien be made payable in more
than 20 annual installments, which may not be equal and which may bear a

located within the Town of Highland Beach from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2025;
and
B) authorize
the Mayor to execute a letter to the Town of
Highland Beach providing notification of the time extension.
SUMMARY: On May 18,
2010, the Board approved a stipulated settlement agreement with the Town of
Highland Beach regarding the Town’s approval, with conditions, of the County’s
special exception use application for the development of the Cam D. Milani park
property. The stipulated settlement agreement was executed by the Town on June
1, 2010. On September 14, 2010, the
Board approved an addendum to the stipulated settlement agreement (R2010-1374)
to correct scrivener’s errors. In the
settlement agreement, the County agreed not to proceed with development of the
park, other than addressing certain compliance conditions, for a period of ten
years from the date of adoption for the amended development order (June 1,
2010). The settlement agreement also
provided the County the right to extend the postponement at its sole option for
two periods of five years each for a maximum postponement of 20 years. Should the County determine to extend the
postponement period for five additional years, a letter notifying the Town of
the extension is required within 6-12 months of the 10-year anniversary of the
initial postponement. Inasmuch as the
County requires the property to maintain Comprehensive Plan level of service
requirements for beach park acres, and funding for the development of the park
site has not yet been appropriated due to budgetary constraints and competing
priorities, staff recommends postponing development of the Cam D. Milani park
site for an additional five-year period.
Pending Board approval, the obligatory letter will be sent to the Town
outlining the County’s intent to extend the postponement of development for an
additional five years. Within this
timeframe, it is the Department’s intent to request design phase funding as part

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a first
amendment to Interlocal Agreement R2014-1744 with the City of West Palm Beach,
a Florida Municipal Corporation (City), to extend the term of the Interlocal
Agreement for shared use of the City’s electronic surveillance video system
(Video System) located at the Intermodal Facility retroactively from August 31,
2019 through August 30, 2024. SUMMARY: In 2009, the Board approved Agreement
R2009-1418 for County to furnish seven video cameras and related infrastructure
to the City for use at the Intermodal Facility located at 150 Clearwater Drive,
West Palm Beach. The equipment was interfaced with the City’s existing video
system and County was provided with access to the City’s video system for
monitoring and operational purposes. Interlocal Agreement R2014-1744 continued
the agreement to ensure uninterrupted access to the video and maintenance of
the video equipment. The Interlocal Agreement expired on August 30, 2019, but
provided for one renewal option for a period of five years through August 30,
2024. The City has approved the renewal to retroactively extend the term of the
Interlocal Agreement and the renewal option now requires Board approval. The first amendment extends the term, updates
the City and County contact information and adds the County’s standard
Insurance, Non-Discrimination, Inspector General and Assignment provisions. There are no charges associated with the
Agreement. The Interlocal Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of
August 30, 2024, or the end of the useful life of the equipment. Other than the
changes set forth herein, all other terms remain the same. (ESS) Countywide

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on October
22, 2019 at 9:30 a.m.: an
ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida,
repealing and replacing Chapter 22, Article VI of the Palm Beach County Code
(Ordinance No. 2009-052 The Palm Beach County Real Property Acquisition,
Disposition and Leasing Ordinance); providing for a title; providing for
definitions; providing for determination of value; providing for standards and
procedures for the sale or lease of real property; providing for delegation of
authority; providing for supermajority vote; providing for the property review
committee; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; providing for
severability; providing captions; providing for inclusion in the code of laws
and ordinances; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Acquisition, Disposition and Leasing
Ordinance (commonly referred to as the PREM Ordinance) was amended in
2009 to implement recommendations of the Palm Beach County Grand Jury,
including requiring a supermajority vote to approve all purchases, sales and
exchanges and establishing a Property Review Committee (PRC) to review real
estate transactions which: i) are based upon appraisals utilizing hypothetical
conditions, extraordinary assumptions, or assume a change in land use, comprehensive
plan amendment or concurrency other than currently exists; ii) the price varies
from the appraisal value by more than 10%; or iii) are an exchange of real
properties in which the value of the property to be conveyed or received by the
County exceeds $250,000. Transactions for less than $250,000 are exempt from
PRC review. At the request of Engineering and the County Attorney’s Office, the
10% valuation threshold is being increased to 15% for acquisitions of
right-of-way generally, and acquisitions which involve eminent domain and/or
inverse condemnation litigation will be exempt from PRC review. At the request
of Housing and Economic Sustainability, this repealed and replaced PREM
Ordinance allows for the sale of workforce housing units in accordance with the
Workforce Housing Program to be sold directly to a qualified buyer without a
competitive process, without an additional appraisals, beyond
that obtained by the County in connection with acquisition of the unit, and
without review by the PRC. The sale of
workforce housing units acquired by the County is governed by the Workforce
Housing Financial Assistance Strategy adopted by the Board and requires
flexibility in the pricing and sales process utilized to transfer the units to
qualified buyers. Resolution R2013-1421
established the PRC with five members with a mix of qualifications and three-year
terms. The PRC has not met to review a
qualifying real estate transaction in three years, and currently does not have
enough members to achieve a quorum. Staff is submitting a companion agenda item
to approve a resolution reducing the number of committee members from five to three
to assist in filling the Committee. This repealed and replaced PREM Ordinance
also requires disclosure of appraised values in the summary section of the
agenda item presented for Board approval. Except for the changes noted above,
this repealed and replaced PREM Ordinance contains the same provision as the
existing PREM Ordinance. (Property &

4. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County,
Florida repealing and replacing Resolution No. 2013-1421; providing for the
Palm Beach County Property Review Committee (PRC); providing for membership;
providing for meetings and organization; providing for removal; providing for
duties and functions; providing for board action advisory only; providing for
assistance to the committee; providing for severability; providing for uniform
policies and procedures; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The PRC is an Advisory Board
that is charged with reviewing, evaluating and advising the Board regarding
real estate transactions involving the purchase, sale or exchange of real
property upon certain triggers being met or value thresholds exceeded. The PRC
was created by Resolution No. 2010-0292, which was repealed and replaced by
Resolution No. 2013-1421. The PRC has
not met to review a transaction in three years, and currently does not have
enough members to establish a quorum.
The last meeting was in June of 2016. This repealed and replaced
resolution reduces the number of members of the PRC from five to three which
will make it easier to recruit individuals willing to serve. The qualifications of the members of the PRC
are as follows: (i) one representative from the Palm Beach County Property
Appraiser’s Office; (ii) one representative licensed as a real estate broker
with an office in Palm Beach County and expertise in Palm Beach County
commercial real estate; and (iii) one representative with expertise in land planning,
eminent domain and/or real estate law who is a licensed attorney with offices
in Palm Beach County. (Property & Real Estate Management) Countywide

5. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve
a contract with Song & Associates, Inc. to provide professional
architectural/engineering design, programming, site plan approval, permitting,
and construction administration services for the new Supervisor of Elections
Production Facility project to be located at the Cherry Road complex for a
period of three years and four months or until the construction achieves final
completion; and
B) authorize the County Administrator
or designee to execute Consultant Services Authorization (CSA) No. 1 in an
amount not to exceed $200,000.
SUMMARY: In 2009, the County entered into a sublease
for a 76,602 square foot space in Riviera Beach for the Supervisor of Elections
Production Facility. The existing Supervisor of Elections production facility houses
all of the Election Day ballot processing, production, voting equipment, and
materials to support the election operations. At the time, the production
facility met both the immediate and potential future needs of the Supervisor of
Elections. While the leased space was responsive to the immediate need for a
large open space, it did not consider, and as a result did not have the
flexibility to accommodate the impacts of; 1) a significant increase in the
number of absentee ballots; 2) support facilities for the volume of persons
assigned to the facility (parking, restrooms, support spaces); and 3) the need
for dedicated spaces and technology for media and observers. In order to
properly address the facilities daily operational requirements, CSA No. 1
authorizes a full programming study and site analysis to document the
efficiencies, develop options to accomplish the same on county owned property,
and compare a co-located option which relocates both facilities (the main
office (on Gun Club Road) and the production facility (in Riviera Beach)) to
the Cherry Road site (Comparative Study). The County will evaluate the results
of the Comparative Study in order to determine the most appropriate solution to
be used as the scope of the project to be designed. Following this expanded
programming phase, professional services will include site-planning, design,
construction documents, permitting and construction administration services.
Maintaining the preliminary schedule outlined in the request for proposal is
critical to the County as the timeline coincides with the expiration of the
lease agreement currently in place for the production facility. In order to
maintain this timeline, staff is requesting authorization for the County
Administrator or designee to execute CSA No. 1 to complete the Comparative
Study. The solicitation for design professionals was advertised on June 9, 2019
according to the Equal Business Opportunity Program, with the final selection
taking place on September 6, 2019. The project was presented to the Goal
Setting Committee on May 15, 2019 that established an affirmative procurement
initiative requiring a minimum mandatory goal of 20% SBE participation and
awarding 15 points evaluation preference for SBE participation. Song &
Associates, Inc. is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and will be utilizing
five SBEs and Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) sub-consultants. The
prime consultant has committed to 80% S/W/MBE participation. Song
& Associates, Inc. has engaged Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc., as
a sub-consultant on this project. Anne Gerwig of Alan Gerwig & Associates,
Inc. has disclosed that she is serving as the Mayor of Wellington and currently
serves on Palm Beach County’s Health and Human Services Committee. As Mayor,
Anne Gerwig had no decision-making authority as it relates to this contract. In
the event any item would come before her that would offer a special financial
benefit to her or her business relating to this contract, Alan Gerwig &
Associates, Inc. has disclosed that it would require her to recuse herself from
that item, thereby removing any conflict of interest for herself, Alan Gerwig
& Associates, Inc. or the County. Anne Gerwig also serves as chair of the
Citizens Advisory Committee on Health and Human Services as a Palm Beach County
League of Cities representative, which is purely an advisory board and provided
no regulation, oversight, management or policy setting recommendations
regarding this Contract. Pursuant to the Code of Ethics Section 2-443 this
matter is disclosed herein to allow Song & Associates, Inc., to
utilize Alan Gerwig & Associates, Inc., as a sub-consultant on this contract. (Capital
