PAGE ITEM
7 3A-1 MOVED TO REGULAR (NOW 5D-1)
22 3I-2 MOVED TO
REGULAR (NOW 5E-1)
43 5C-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion
to: A) Approve an updated term sheet (from December 3, 2019) which identifies the key
provisions of a Developer Agreement (New DA) and Sports Facility Use Agreement
(New SFUA) with Jupiter Stadium Limited (JSL) to; 1) facilitate
renovation of the Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium (RDCS) and 2) extends
JSL’s use rights through April 2, 2048; and B) Authorize County
Administrator or designee to commence negotiations of a New DA and New SFUA. SUMMARY:
On December 3, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC, Board or County)
considered the term sheet dated 11/15/19 and directed staff to re-negotiate
certain terms to: 1) reduce the scope and cost of the project, and 2)
reduce County contributions to debt service in a way that increases reserve
balance in the first 10 years and leaves some funding for future unidentified
projects in the same period. In a revised proposal prepared by JSL and
attached to this item, JSL indicates that it needs to tread cautiously on scope
reductions as the Stadium is approaching 23 years old and the new term is for
an additional 28 years, requiring the facility to remain competitive with
other venues from the visitor and player perspectives. That being said,
JSL and staff were able to reach agreement on amended terms. In addition to the
$1,000,000 additional debt service contribution and escalating
marketing/promotional efforts totaling $6,746,000 over the term of the
agreement previously offered, the amended term sheet: 1) reduces the
total project cost to $108,000,000; 2) reduces County contributions in
Years 1 through 10, and 3) requires
the County to issue a portion of the bonds as tax exempt to maximize
construction proceeds. All other terms remain the same as presented on
December 3rd. Assuming the use of Tourist Development
Council (TDC) staff’s very conservative revenue growth projections and
that the annual renewal/replacement (R/R) contributions remain at the
recommended $3,000,000/year across all TDC assets, these amended terms will
increase the bed tax reserve to over 10% in all years but 2031 where it is at
8%. After 2032, when the debt service payments on the existing Convention
Center are completed, the capacity for new debt service will be largely
restored. The funding source for this future obligation will be from the
1st and 4th Cent Bed Tax and there is no ad valorem contribution, other than staff time. (FDO Admin) Countywide

DECEMBER 17, 2019
A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff
recommends motion to approve: an interlocal
agreement (ILA) with Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Highland Beach,
Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, and Ocean Ridge to conduct a joint climate change
vulnerability assessment (CCVA) of the listed municipalities geographic area
and adjacent areas of unincorporated Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: Since
2017, municipalities in southeastern Palm Beach County and staff from the County’s
Office of Resilience have been meeting to discuss strategies to address climate
change impacts across jurisdictional boundaries. Boca Raton, Boynton Beach,
Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, and Ocean Ridge now
seek to formalize a partnership with Palm Beach County to conduct a joint CCVA
for those areas within the boundaries of each participating municipality and unincorporated
Palm Beach County. This collaborative approach will reduce costs while
fostering synergy and consistency in assessing vulnerability, prioritizing
needs, and implementing strategies to enhance climate resilience. The ILA
provides the framework for completing the CCVA with the City of Lake Worth
Beach serving as fiscal agent for the contract with the selected consultant. The Florida Department of Environmental
Protection’s Florida Resilient Coastlines Program has awarded the group two
grants to fund this work: $72,000 in FY 18/19 and $75,000 in FY 19/20. Palm
Beach County will contribute $20,000, an amount approved for the FY 20
supplemental request. Participating municipalities will contribute
remaining costs according to an agreed upon cost-sharing methodology. Countywide

& PUBLIC WORKS (Cont’d)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) the third amendment to the intergovernmental agreement dated July 25, 1978 (R78-911), which transferred certain traffic engineering services for certain roads and intersections within the Town of Jupiter (Town) to Palm Beach County (County); to transfer jurisdictional control, maintenance responsibility, right-of-way ownership and traffic control jurisdiction for Indiantown Road from U.S. Highway One to County Road A1A/Ocean Boulevard (A1A) back to the Town; and
B) a county deed to convey the County’s interest in the above described section of Indiantown Road to the Town.
SUMMARY: In a letter dated November 26, 2018, the Town requested this transfer to allow the Town jurisdictional control of this section of Indiantown Road. Adoption of this third amendment to the intergovernmental agreement, and approval of the county deed, will give the Town jurisdictional control, maintenance responsibility, ownership of the right-of-way, and traffic control jurisdiction for this section of Indiantown Road. Although the County normally reserves its interest in phosphates, minerals, metals and petroleum rights per Section 270.11, Florida Statutes, the Town has requested the release of this reservation because it requires the property to be free and clear without encumbrance. In accordance with Palm Beach County Ordinance (2009-052), a supermajority vote (5 votes) is required by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for all transfers of fee simple real property that requires BCC approval. District 1 (YBH)
3. Staff recommends motion to approve: a work task order to the structural engineering annual contract (R2017-0137) dated February 7, 2017 with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (SCSI) in the amount of $117,068.51 for professional services for the Congress Avenue over Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) L-24 Canal Bridge Replacement (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this work task order will provide the design services necessary for the project. The services include production of construction plans to replace the existing Congress Avenue bridge over the LWDD L-24 Canal. The solicitation for design professionals was advertised on August 7, 2016 and August 14, 2016. The annual contract was approved on February 7, 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 was 15%. SCSI agreed to 31% SBE participation for the contract. Their SBE participation for this work task order is 34%. Their cumulative SBE participation to date including this work task order is 30%. SCSI is a Palm Beach County based company. This project is funded by the infrastructure sales tax. Districts 3 & 4 (YBH)
4. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an interlocal agreement with the City of Riviera Beach Utility
Special District (District) regarding open cuts in Palm Beach County (County)
maintained thoroughfare and non-thoroughfare roads. SUMMARY:
The County has a policy that requires a surety to be posted for any
construction in County rights-of-way that results in the open cutting of the
pavement. The District has requested that the County instead enter into an agreement
which would relieve the District from posting surety but require them to make
any required repairs upon request by the County. Similar agreements have been
executed with several other municipalities and special districts. This agreement
will remain in effect until termination by either party. District 7 (YBH)

motion to approve: Work Order 2018051-80 in the amount of $1,045,000 to
mill and resurface Donald Ross Road from Interstate 95 to Alternate A1A
utilizing Palm Beach County’s (County) annual asphalt milling and resurfacing
contract R2018-1533 (Contract) with Ranger Construction Industries, Inc.
(Ranger). SUMMARY: Per County PPM
CW-F-050, this work order exceeds the $200,000 threshold for staff approvals of
work orders to annual contracts, thus requiring approval from the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC). Approval of
this work order will allow the contractual services necessary to construct the
improvement. Prior to this work order, approximately $14 million of Ranger’s
$31.4 million Contract has been spent or encumbered. On October 16, 2018, the
BCC approved the Contract with Ranger to provide milling and resurfacing of
County roadways for countywide projects. The Contract was renewed on October
22, 2019 with a 15% mandatory Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal set as the
Affirmative Procurement Initiative. Ranger agreed to 15% SBE participation for
this work order. Approval of this work order will result in a cumulative SBE
participation of 15% for all the work orders issued under the Contract. District

D. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a settlement in the
amount of $770,000, including attorney’s fees and all reasonable expert fees
and costs for Parcels 1, 101, 201, and 301 in the eminent domain action styled Palm
Beach County v. Evelyn Paray; et al., Case No.
502015CA001019XXXXMB(AO), for the construction and improvement of Haverhill Road,
from south of Lake Worth Drainage District L-14 Canal to Lake Worth Road, in
Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: The County
has negotiated a settlement in the amount of $770,000, including attorney’s
fees and reasonable expert fees and costs, subject to the approval of the Board
of County Commissioners. The property taken includes a fee simple take of 1.7
acres from a 4.025-acre property improved with a single family residence, a
permanent easement, and a temporary construction easement. The engineers and
appraisers for the County and the property owners agreed that the vacant area
of the land is buildable and suitable for residential development. The County
deposited $251,510 in the court registry as its initial good faith deposit and
estimate of value dated March 19, 2014. In preparation for trial, the County’s
appraisal was updated and the updated value of the subject parcels through the
date of deposit was $443,750. The property owner’s appraiser opined that the
value of the subject parcels was $971,580. The settlement in this case, if
approved, would compensate the property owners in the total amount of $660,000,
plus $100,656.70 in attorney’s fees, and $9,343.30 for all reasonable expert
fees and costs. Therefore, payment of an additional $518,490 would constitute
full and final settlement of this case in its entirety, including all fees and
costs. District 2 (DO)

2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a contract for Consulting/Professional Services
with The Salvation Army, for the period October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020,
in an amount totaling $82,350, to provide emergency shelter to individuals who
are homeless. SUMMARY: This
contract will provide emergency shelter for nine homeless individuals per night
that are referred from the Palm Beach County Division of Human & Veteran
Services (DHVS) Homeless Outreach Programs: Parks to Work Initiative and
Assertive Community Outreach Initiative or any other outreach effort. Parks
to Work is a program designed to assist homeless individuals in Palm Beach
County parks. Assertive Community
Outreach provides comprehensive services to individuals who are diagnosed with
severe mental illness, whose needs have not been met by a more traditional
service delivery model. Individuals targeted are those that have been
homeless for extended periods of time with medical, substance, and/or mental
health issues that make them unemployable by mainstream employers. The individuals
will be provided with shelter, case management, employment assistance and rapid
re-housing or permanent supportive housing placement assistance. Since the
inception on February 12, 2018, 37 individuals have participated in the Parks
to Work program. Currently, 56% of the participants are housed through
emergency shelter and/or supportive housing, 100%
of the participants in the program received mainstream intensive case
management, which includes: medical care, treatment for substance use
disorders, mental health, behavioral health, vocational skills, employment
skills and financial education and 20% of the participants have maintained full
time employment outside of the Parks to Work program. (Division of Human

motion to:
A) ratify the
signature of the Mayor on the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America Grant
application with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), for the period of March 1,
2020 through February 28, 2025, in the amount of $4,000,000 for year one with
an increase in each year of the project period over the course of five years,
for new programs to reduce HIV infections in Palm Beach County by 75%; and
B) delegate to the County
Administrator or designee signatory authority on any other necessary documents
related to executing and implementing the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiatives.
SUMMARY: Palm Beach County, as a jurisdiction hardest hit by the HIV epidemic, is
eligible for a significant infusion of federal resources as part of a new ten year
national initiative to end the HIV epidemic in the United States by 2030. This
funding opportunity is additive to the current funding received through the
Federal Ryan White Part A HIV Emergency Relief Program, and will allow for
expansive, innovative, and modern approaches to service delivery for persons
living with HIV/AIDS. The Grant Year
2020 budget requests $4,000,000, allowing
the Community Services Department to extend services to approximately 360
additional Palm Beach County residents currently not receiving care. An
increase of $1,000,000 has been requested in each subsequent year of the
project period, totaling $30,000,000 over the course of five years. The
emergency signature process was utilized because there was insufficient time to
submit this item through the regular agenda process. DHHS will issue notice of
grant awards no sooner than January 2020, with services required to begin March
1, 2020. Delegated authority is requested to comply with grantor timeline
requirements. No County match is required. (Ryan White Program) Countywide (HH)

motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to Interlocal Agreement between
the Health Care District of Palm Beach County (HCD) and Palm Beach County (the Board) (R2019-0153),
relating to the Addiction Stabilization Center (ASC), to change the effective
date of the Interlocal Agreement from January 15, 2019 to October 1, 2019. SUMMARY: On January 15, 2019, the Board approved an
Interlocal Agreement with HCD for the establishment of an ASC. The agreement
was for a period not to exceed 12 months in duration and includes two 12 month
options to renew. The ASC opened in October 2019 at the JFK Medical Center
North to address the immediate and critical care of individuals experiencing
opioid and other drug overdoses. It provides a central location with an emergency
room component that allows for lifesaving overdose intervention and a
behavioral health component, which includes immediate psychiatric
identification of the best treatment to assist patients in addressing their
addiction moving forward. HCD opened an additional Medication Assisted
Treatment (MAT) outpatient clinic, which is located on the property. The MAT
outpatient clinic also provides immediate stabilization when needed and
assessment to best identify treatment pathways. The amendment of the County’s
Interlocal Agreement with HCD is necessary to align the term of this agreement
with the term of the separate agreement between the HCD and JFK Medical Center
Limited Partnership, d/b/a JFK Medical Center North Campus (JFK), concerning
operation and financial assistance for the ASC. Coordinating the start date of
both agreements will assist with the financial reconciliation process. Countywide

County (County) and the Village of North Palm Beach (Village) for the Village
to provide building permitting services for accessory structures to be
constructed within the portion of the C-17 canal right-of-way located in the
County. SUMMARY: The County recently
identified several properties where a portion of the property is located within
the C-17 canal right-of-way located in unincorporated County while the
remaining portion is located within the Village. Any primary structures located
on these properties are located within the Village. Property owners desiring to
construct accessory structures, such as docks or boatlifts, within this portion
of the C-17 canal right-of-way are unable to obtain permits from the County as
the Unified Land Development Code prohibits construction of accessory structures
without a primary structure. Property
owners are currently unable to obtain permits from the Village, as the
accessory structures are proposed to be located in a portion of property
located in unincorporated County. The Village will therefore provide building
permitting services for accessory structures to be constructed within the
portion of the C-17 canal right-of-way located in the County where the
associated primary structures are located in the Village. The initial term of
the Interlocal Agreement is through September 30, 2020, and will be

motion to approve: a budget
transfer of $350,000 within the Fire/Rescue MSTU Fund (Fund 1300) to provide
additional funding to fully fund intergovernmental transfer(s) required for the
Public Emergency Medical Transportation (PEMT) supplemental payment program for
Medicaid managed care patients for the period of July 1, 2019 through
June 30, 2020. SUMMARY:
Recently, the State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration
(AHCA) established a Medicaid supplemental program to address Medicaid payment
inadequacy. The Florida Medicaid Managed Care Supplemental Payment Program
(also known as the “MCO” program) will allow qualifying government owned
ambulance providers to receive supplemental payments for emergency transports of
Medicaid managed care patients. In order to guarantee Federal share funding,
intergovernmental transfers (IGT) from PEMT providers are required to cover the
State’s share of the MCO program. It is expected that for each $1 provided by
the IGT, approximately $2.60 will be received in revenue. On September 10,
2019, the Board adopted Resolution R2019-1462 which delegates authority to
execute Letter(s) of Agreement (LOA) and other documents necessary to
participate in this program, up to an amount budgeted by the Board for said
IGTs. The Board also approved a $400,000 budget transfer to fund the County’s
estimated IGT. With the initial estimate, the County would have received
$600,000 in Federal funding, for a total allotment of approximately $1,000,000.
Since the County’s initial estimate was prepared, AHCA revised their funding
formula. These revisions have substantially increased the County’s IGT, as well
as the anticipated net revenue to be received. According to the latest
estimate, the County’s IGT is approximately $750,000 and the County should
receive $1,200,000 in Federal funding, for a total allotment of $1,950,000.
This budget transfer is necessary to provide additional funding to fully fund
the IGT for the State’s fiscal year 2020. The State is still in the process of
finalizing the LOA and has extended the deadline to return the LOA to December
31, 2019. Countywide (SB)

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm
Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 19, Article IX (Ordinance no. 2008-43)
as amended, relating to vehicles for hire; amending Section
19-213 (definitions); amending Section 19-217 (reciprocity); amending Section
19-227 driver requirements, failure to comply; providing for repeal of laws in
conflict; providing for a savings clause; providing for severability;
providing for inclusion in the code of laws and ordinances; providing for
captions; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: On November 19, 2019, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) held a preliminary reading of the Vehicle for Hire
Ordinance revisions. The proposed ordinance amendment expands the regulatory
framework of the vehicle for hire industry by creating a special event
reciprocity provision. This amendment is necessary to ensure adequate processes
are in place to accommodate anticipated regulatory demands in the tri-county
region during special events including but not limited to the Super Bowl LIV. The
special event reciprocity provision establishes the requirements for currently
licensed vehicle for hire companies to increase their fleet and driver
capability to meet transportation needs and allows for Miami-Dade, Broward and
Palm Beach Counties to work cooperatively to meet regulatory demand and
oversight responsibilities in a streamlined fashion. Despite variations, each county will apply
the requirements of their respective ordinances when evaluating applications. Reciprocity in Palm Beach County for Broward
and Miami-Dade vehicle for hire companies is only extended if vehicle decals
issued by Palm Beach County are recognized by these respective jurisdictions by
way of ordinance language in the same manner.
Highlights of proposed amendments include the following: 1) adding a definition
of special event, special event vehicle decal and special event period, 2)
establishing criteria for special event vehicle decals, 3) outlining the
background screening requirements of temporary drivers, 4) creating reciprocity
language with Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, and 5) assigning a disqualifying
timeframe for habitual traffic offenders. The proposed revisions were presented
to vehicle for hire industry representatives on October 2, 2019 and League of

2019. The resolution update establishes
a new special event decal fee at $100, which includes an airport access fee of
$50 as approved by R2012-1593. The special event decal fee is the same amount
charged by Broward and Miami-Dade counties, which is necessary due to the
provision of special event reciprocity in those jurisdictions. Additionally, a
new decal replacement /transfer fee of $25 will allow vehicle for hire
companies to acquire a replacement decal within a license year if the decal is
lost, damaged, or returned to Consumer Affairs when a vehicle is placed out of
service instead of paying the full annual decal fee. There are no other changes
to fines or fees. Countywide (LDC)

5. REGULAR AGENDA
C. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS
1. ADD-ON:
Staff recommends
motion to:
A) Approve an updated term sheet (from December 3, 2019)
which identifies the key provisions of a Developer Agreement (New DA) and
Sports Facility Use Agreement (New SFUA) with Jupiter Stadium Limited (JSL) to;
1) facilitate renovation of the Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium (RDCS) and 2)
extends JSL’s use rights through April 2, 2048; and
B) Authorize County
Administrator or designee to commence negotiations of a New DA and New SFUA.
SUMMARY: On December 3, 2019, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC, Board or County) considered the term sheet dated 11/15/19
and directed staff to re-negotiate certain terms to: 1) reduce the scope
and cost of the project, and 2) reduce County contributions to debt
service in a way that increases reserve balance in the first 10 years and
leaves some funding for future unidentified projects in the same period.
In a revised proposal prepared by JSL and attached to this item, JSL indicates
that it needs to tread cautiously on scope reductions as the Stadium is
approaching 23 years old and the new term is for an additional 28 years,
requiring the facility to remain competitive with other venues from the
visitor and player perspectives. That being said, JSL and staff were able
to reach agreement on amended terms. In addition to the $1,000,000 additional
debt service contribution and escalating marketing/promotional efforts totaling
$6,746,000 over the term of the agreement previously offered, the amended term
sheet: 1) reduces the total project cost to $108,000,000; 2)
reduces County contributions in Years 1 through 10, and 3) requires the County
to issue a portion of the bonds as tax exempt to maximize construction proceeds.
All other terms remain the same as presented on December 3rd.
Assuming the use of Tourist Development Council (TDC) staff’s very
conservative revenue growth projections and that the annual renewal/replacement
(R/R) contributions remain at the recommended $3,000,000/year across all TDC
assets, these amended terms will increase the bed tax reserve to over 10% in
all years but 2031 where it is at 8%. After 2032, when the debt service
payments on the existing Convention Center are completed, the capacity for new
debt service will be largely restored. The funding source for this future
obligation will be from the 1st and 4th Cent Bed Tax and
there is no ad valorem contribution, other than staff time. (FDO Admin) Countywide

D. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an interlocal
agreement (ILA) with Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Highland Beach,
Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, and Ocean Ridge to conduct a joint climate change
vulnerability assessment (CCVA) of the listed municipalities geographic area
and adjacent areas of unincorporated Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: Since
2017, municipalities in southeastern Palm Beach County and staff from the
County’s Office of Resilience have been meeting to discuss strategies to
address climate change impacts across jurisdictional boundaries. Boca Raton,
Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Highland Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Lantana, and
Ocean Ridge now seek to formalize a partnership with Palm Beach County to
conduct a joint CCVA for those areas within the boundaries of each
participating municipality and unincorporated Palm Beach County. This
collaborative approach will reduce costs while fostering synergy and
consistency in assessing vulnerability, prioritizing needs, and implementing
strategies to enhance climate resilience. The ILA provides the framework for
completing the CCVA with the City of Lake Worth Beach serving as fiscal agent
for the contract with the selected consultant. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Resilient
Coastlines Program has awarded the group two grants to fund this work: $72,000
in FY 18/19 and $75,000 in FY 19/20. Palm Beach County will contribute $20,000,
an amount approved for the FY 20 supplemental request. Participating
municipalities will contribute remaining costs according to an agreed upon
cost-sharing methodology. Countywide (RPB)
E. HOUSING AND ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Amendment No. 3
to the Agreement (R2016-1422) with the Business Development Board of Palm Beach
County, Inc. (BDB) to amend the Scope of Services. SUMMARY: On September
27, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) entered into an Agreement
(R2016-1422), as amended (R2017-1707) on November 7, 2017 and as amended
(R2018-2066) on December 18, 2018, with the BDB to provide business
recruitment, expansion, and retention services and general marketing for Palm
Beach County. The Agreement period is
from October 1, 2016 through September 20, 2021 and is in the fourth year of
its five year term. The public/private partnership between the County and the
BDB works toward creating a stable and diverse economic climate throughout Palm
Beach County. The Agreement’s Scope of Services is reviewed annually and
revised as appropriate to capitalize on changes within the Palm Beach County
economy and business community. These revisions include: requiring BCC
appointees to the BDB Board of Directors to be private business leaders; adding
standard contract language regarding the Office of the Inspector General in
Palm Beach County; facilitating BCC and County staff participation in BDB
events; the addition of general manufacturing to new company recruitment
efforts; an increase in the number of Palm Beach County economic
development-related publications; and a revision in the number of Academic
Leaders Council meetings. The revised Scope of Services is provided as an
attachment to this Agenda Item. These are County Ad Valorem funds. Countywide
