SUMMARY:
On November 18, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: Change Order
No. 4 with R & D Paving, LLC (R&D) for a contract time extension of 299
days to the Glades Road and Butts Road Intersection Improvements project
(R2018-1312). SUMMARY: Per PPM CW-F-050, the time extension in this
change order exceeds staff approval authority, and requires the Board of County
Commissioners approval. Change Order No. 4 will compensate R&D for utility
delays, and will retroactively extend the contract time by 299 days resulting
in a new completion date of June 16, 2020. The final walk through confirming
construction was completed per project specification was on July 17, 2020. The
299 day time extension is a direct result of the City of Boca Raton’s
cooperation in resolving their utility conflicts, in addition to an AT&T conflict.
R&D is also entitled to Suspension of Contract Time (Holidays) per FDOT
Spec. 8-6.4. The contract was approved on September 18, 2018, 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%. R&D committed to 21% SBE participation. The SBE
participation for this change order is 0%, and the cumulative SBE participation
to date, including this change order, is 18.3%. R&D is a Palm Beach County
based company. District 4 (YBH)

motion to approve: Work
Order 2018051-136 in the amount of $1,550,000 to mill and resurface Hypoluxo
Road from Military Trail to US 1 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 improvements. Prior to this meeting date,
approximately $32 million of Ranger’s $48.5 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. Due to the
limited availability of qualified certified SBE subcontractors, the Office of
Equal Business Opportunity issued a waiver on January 17, 2020, that reduced
the mandatory SBE participation to 5%. On June 2, 2020, the second renewal was
approved, and continued with the reduced mandatory SBE participation of 5%.
Ranger agreed to 5% SBE participation for this work order. Approval of this
work order will result in a cumulative SBE participation of 9.5% for all the
work orders issued under the Contract. This
project is funded through the infrastructure sales tax. Districts 3

7. MOVED TO REGULAR (NOW 6F-1) Staff recommends motion to adopt:
a resolution repealing and replacing Resolution R2011-0860, replacing and
designating certain parcels of land owned by Palm Beach County (County) as road
right-of-way for State Road 7 from Okeechobee Boulevard to 60th
Street North (Project). SUMMARY:
On June 21, 2011, Resolution R2011-0860 designated certain parcels of
land owned by the County as road right-of-way for the Project. A County owned
parcel controlled by the County’s Environmental Resources Management
Department, known as the Pond Cypress Natural Area, was inadvertently included
among these parcels designated as right-of-way. The proposed new resolution
will repeal and replace Resolution R2011-0860 with a resolution containing
appropriate legal descriptions to correct the road right-of-way designations.
The corrected road right-of-way designations cover an area of approximately 175
acres. District 6 (YBH)

the JAG Direct Program (CFDA#16.738) for expenditure during the period October
1, 2020 through September 30, 2022. The Criminal Justice Commission (CJC)
approved recommendations made by the CJC’s Finance Committee to allocate these
funds to the existing Palm Beach County Reentry Program. This award will
provide $123,571 continuation funding to the Reentry Program. The program
provides transitional services to juveniles and adults reentering society from
jail and prison. Pursuant to a special condition of this grant, $3,822 will be
transferred to PBSO to become NIBRS compliant. In 2016, the FBI formally
announced its intention to sunset the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program’s
traditional Summary Reporting System and replace it with the UCR Program’s
NIBRS by January 1, 2021. The FBI intends for NIBRS to be the law enforcement
crime data reporting standard for the nation. Currently all municipalities and
PBSO report crime under the FBI’s UCR Program to the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement (FDLE) which is designated by the FBI as Florida’s Statistical
Analysis Center. FDLE is currently working on NIBRS compliance requirements to
be promulgated to municipal police departments and sheriff’s offices in
Florida. The emergency procedure, pursuant to Palm Beach County Administrative
Code, Section 309, was used because of the limited time for submission of the
grant application following the funding announcement. The U.S. DOJ Edward Byrne
Memorial Justice Assistance Formula Federal FY20 (County FY21) Direct Grant
requires the Chief Executive officer support the application for funding by
review of the solicitation, application and completion of the Chief Executive

Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) to receive revenue for processing and
resolving housing discrimination complaints for the period of July 1, 2019
through June 30, 2020 in the total amount of $288,800;
B) approve a budget amendment in the General Fund

complaints, execution of Cooperative Agreement No. FF204K204023 was required
prior to October 20, 2020, to meet HUD’s FY 2020 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 $288,800 represents a $31,200 increase over the budgeted
$257,600, and includes $207,400 for case processing; $26,400 for training

A. PALM TRAN
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: changes to Palm Tran Connection Efficiencies
Project (CEP) which modifies the Eligibility and Reservation Process. SUMMARY: Palm Tran has undertaken a
comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the Palm Tran Connection Paratransit
Service. Palm Tran Connection is growing at an
unsustainable rate when compared to its peers, accounting for one-third of Palm
Tran’s current annual operations budget. Palm Tran management has endeavored in
the Palm Tran Connection Efficiencies Project (CEP) over the last year to
evaluate some of the key components of Palm Tran Connections service affecting
cost and operational performance; capacity, eligibility and on-time
performance. The evaluation analyzed key metrics in these areas and utilized
service data to make recommendations to modify the eligibility process, the
utilization of non-dedicated transportation providers such as taxis or
Transportation Network Companies during high-peak demand and alternative
service options for non-ADA trips. The proposal will provide options to better
serve Palm Beach County's disabled, senior
and transportation disadvantaged communities. At the November 26, 2019,
Board of County Commissioners Workshop, staff presented the CEP and provided
information that compared Palm Tran Connection service to its peers and federal
ADA minimum guidelines for paratransit service. The need for public input is a
Federal Transit Administration requirement.
The
following are recommended for approval:
1 Develop Enhanced Eligibility
Assessment process.
2. Modify the reservation window to reduce
cancellations.
3. Study an “Overflow” Service Option
(Uber/Lyft/Taxi) to allow paratransit customers
to have alternative transit options.
4. Develop Non-ADA Service Delivery
Options for trips that do not fall within the ADA
service area.
The Board
directive at the November 26, 2019 BCC Workshop was to move forward with the
Enhanced Eligibility Assessment process, modify the reservation window to
reduce cancellations from 7 days to 3 days, further assess the “Overflow”
Service option and develop Non-ADA Service Delivery Options for potential
future implementation. As a result of
COVID-19, staff is recommending pivoting from implementing in-person
eligibility interviews as presented at the November 26, 2019 BCC Workshop, to
phone interviews to minimize person to person contact during the pandemic. Additionally, Palm Tran staff will develop
the “Overflow” Service option and Non-ADA Service Delivery Options and bring
these items back to the Board for consideration in Spring 2021. Countywide

& RECREATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: one permanent Park Ranger Supervisor, two
permanent Park Rangers, one non-permanent Park Ranger Supervisor and two
non-permanent Park Ranger positions to provide after-hour patrol of County
parks. SUMMARY: Currently, Park Rangers provide
oversight, monitoring and enforcement of park rules to 84 park properties
within the park system from 7:00AM – 11:00PM seven days a week. However, we
have seen an increase in vandalism, property damage and ordinance violations
within the parks after hours that have required a response from the Palm Beach
Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). To ensure we have a 24-hour presence within the park
system to deter unwelcome and prohibited conduct or activity, and to allow PBSO
Deputies to remain on their scheduled road patrol assignments, we propose
adding a small team of Park Ranger personnel to work from 11:00PM – 7:00AM
within parks countywide seven days a week. The Park Rangers will be mobile and
assigned to work various parks that have experienced higher levels of Parks’
Ordinance violations. The cost for staff salaries to fund this initiative is
approximately $251,000 and will be absorbed within the Parks and Recreation FY
21 budget. Staff reviewed several operating scenarios including the use of
permit deputies and contractual security services, and determined that the use
of Park Rangers was more cost effective and allowed for greater programmatic

Amendment No. 2 will provide an additional $3,196,990.03 to complete the following tasks: Task I Services – Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) Switchgear Normal Power Distribution System Replacement; PBI Concourse B Expansion Conceptual and Schematic Design; PBI Terminal Public Address System Construction Engineering Inspection Services – Phase 2; PBI Pre-Conditioned Air and Ground Power Unit Point of Use; PBI Federal Inspection Service Facility and Building 846 Storm Resiliency Modifications Package 3 Construction Documents & Bidding and Award; PBI Terminal Elevator Assessment Report; and Task III Services - Miscellaneous Planning and Engineering Services. Work to be completed under these Task III Services will be issued in accordance with PPM CW-F-050, by way of a separate proposal or task authorization. RS&H, Inc. is a Jacksonville, Florida based firm; however, the majority of the work will be managed through their Fort Lauderdale, Florida office in conjunction with several Palm Beach County-based and South Florida-based sub-consultants and firms. A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 18% was set for this agreement. RS&H, Inc. has committed to 23% DBE participation for this agreement. The anticipated DBE participation based upon the currently approved tasks and those contained within this amendment is approximately 35%. The current paid to date DBE participation is approximately 20%. The DBE participation for this Amendment is approximately 51.21%. Pursuant to changes to Chapter 332, Florida Statutes, effective October 1, 2020, a governing body of a commercial service airport may not approve purchases of contractual services in excess of the Category Five threshold amount of $325,000 provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, on a consent agenda. This amendment exceeds the threshold amount and must be approved on the regular agenda. Countywide (AH)

C. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS
1. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve an Interlocal Agreement
with the City of Boca Raton (City) pursuant to which the County will develop
and maintain a 400’ self-supported public safety radio communications tower and
associated improvements, on land owned by City;
B) approve a Temporary Construction
Easement (TCE) for the County to construct the tower;
C) approve an Access and Management
Easement (Easement) for County to operate, maintain and repair the tower; and
D) authorize the Director of Facilities,
Development & Operations (FDO) to
execute standard use agreements (Use Agreements) providing the standard terms
and conditions for all authorized tower users and setting forth the terms for
payment of use, maintenance and renewal/ replacement fees.
SUMMARY: The Interlocal Agreement
provides for the County to fund, design, construct, manage and maintain a 400’ self-supported public safety radio
tower and associated improvements, on land owned by City. The approval of the
construction contract will be presented to the BCC for consideration pursuant
to a separate board item. Upon substantial completion of the tower
construction, the City shall be the owner of the tower and shall be responsible
for insuring the tower for loss or casualty.
Both the City and the County (as well as any other tower user) will be
individually responsible for the costs associated with licensing, procurement,
installation and on-going maintenance and renewal/replacement of its own radio
system equipment. The term of the Interlocal Agreement is for 45 years and may
be renewed for 3 additional terms of 10 years each by agreement of both City
and County. The Interlocal Agreement also provides that the County will manage
the tower on behalf of the City, and at no cost to the County, pursuant to a
standard tower user agreement that is attached to the Interlocal
Agreement. Management responsibilities
include all aspects of tower management including collection of tower
maintenance and renewal/ replacement fees from tower users pursuant to the
terms of the standard use agreement, which is materially identical to the terms
pursuant to which the County allows municipalities to use County-owned towers.
The City has the ability to terminate the County’s tower management
responsibilities and then the City shall perform the same pursuant to the terms
of the Interlocal Agreement (which also includes minimum maintenance standards)
and the standard tower use agreement. The Interlocal Agreement delegates
signature authority to the FDO Director to execute the tower use agreements on
behalf of the County. The tower use agreements have a term of 15 years with 2
additional renewal periods of 15 years each. The TCE provides a temporary
easement across City land to allow the County to develop and construct the
tower and associated improvements. The Access and Management Easement Agreement
provides County access to the City’s land in order for the County to operate,
maintain and repair the tower for the duration of the Interlocal Agreement. The City cannot terminate the Interlocal
Agreement for convenience nor without cause. If a default occurs under the
Interlocal Agreement terms, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to
grant the defaulting party additional time to cure the default, seek dispute
resolution pursuant to the procedure set forth in the Interlocal Agreement, or
bring an action for specific performance. If the City does terminate the
Interlocal Agreement for cause, it does not have the right to terminate the
County’s tower use agreement. The
County’s tower use agreement may only be terminated pursuant to the terms of
the tower use agreement. While this
structure of this Interlocal Agreement is atypical in terms of the City
ownership of a County funded tower; the remaining terms of the agreement leave
the County with the same rights and liabilities, financial and management
responsibilities as if the tower were to be County–owned. For these reasons and
the difficulty in finding sites that met the County’s siting criteria, Staff is
recommending approval. All costs associated with this agreement will be funded
from Fund 3801: 800 MHz/Public Safety Tower System Fund. (FDO Admin) District

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) adopt a resolution authorizing the conveyance of
certain real property to Habitat for Humanity of South Palm Beach County, Inc.,
a Florida not-for-profit corporation (Habitat), pursuant to Section 125.38, Florida
Statutes, without charge and with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights,
but without rights of entry and exploration; and providing for an effective
date; and
B) approve three County Deeds
in favor of Habitat conveying three properties located on Highview Road, Peak
Road and West Ocean Avenue in Palm Beach County for three affordable units to
be developed.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 125.38, Florida Statutes,
the County is conveying three vacant
properties to Habitat as follows: 1) Highview Road (.0919 acres) in
unincorporated Palm Beach County which escheated to the County in August 2012,
and has a current appraised value of $42,000; 2) Peak Road (.0918 acres) in
unincorporated Palm Beach County which escheated to the County in March 2016,
and has a current appraised value of $42,000; and 3) West Ocean Avenue (.2106
acres) in Boynton Beach which escheated to the County in October 2015, and has
a current appraised value of $69,000.
Under the Palm Beach County Code Section 22-103(a), since all three
properties being conveyed exceeded the $25,000 threshold, appraisals were
required and obtained in August 2020. The Property Review Committee was not
required to review the conveyance in accordance with PPM CW-L-023 since the
appraised value of each is less than $250,000.
Habitat has successfully implemented single-family housing projects and
has an established track record in the affordable housing arena in Palm Beach
County. Habitat is proposing to develop
three affordable single-family homes each with three bedrooms, two bathrooms
and a one car garage. The homes will be sold to families earning no more than
120% of Area Median Income and the anticipated sales price for buyers will not
exceed $331,888. The Board should be cognizant that as a result of the County’s
affordability restrictions on the property, the units cannot be used to meet a
Workforce Housing Program obligation. Mineral and petroleum rights on the
property will be retained by the County in accordance with Section 270.11, Florida
Statutes, without rights of entry and exploration. Approval of this item will
convey County-owned property to Habitat and result in an increase in the
County’s affordable housing stock. This
conveyance must be approved by a supermajority vote of five (5 Commissioners).

price of Parcel 1 and will be reimbursed by FDOT. Agreement No. 2 is for
acquisition of gap parcels lying between the Old State Road 7 right of way and the
Board’s Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area. The Board will fund the

E. HOUSING AND ECONOMIC
SUSTAINABILITY
1. Staff recommends
motion to execute: a “Certification of Consistency with the
Consolidated Plan” for the Pahokee Housing Authority, Inc., in connection with
their grant application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. SUMMARY: The Pahokee Housing Authority, Inc. (PHA), is applying
for a Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) grant from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD requires that the County
confirm that the application is consistent with the goals and objectives of the
County’s Consolidated Plan. PHA will use the ROSS grant to hire and maintain a
Service Coordinator to assess the needs of PHA residents and coordinate
supportive services and other activities designed to help such residents attain
economic and housing self-sufficiency. The primary goal of a ROSS-Family
Service Coordinator is to assist families in increasing earned income and
moving towards economic and housing self-sufficiency. The Department of Housing
& Economic Sustainability has reviewed PHA’s proposed ROSS activity and
determined that it is consistent with the Palm Beach County Consolidated Plan
for Fiscal Year 2020 - 2024. Specifically, the ROSS activity will serve a
priority need of the Consolidated Plan by providing assistance to very-low
income renter households. Countywide (HJF)
F. ENGINEERING
& PUBLIC WORKS
1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a resolution repealing and replacing Resolution
R2011-0860, replacing and designating certain parcels of land owned by Palm
Beach County (County) as road right-of-way for State Road 7 from Okeechobee
Boulevard to 60th Street North (Project). SUMMARY: On June 21, 2011, Resolution R2011-0860 designated
certain parcels of land owned by the County as road right-of-way for the
Project. A County owned parcel controlled by the County’s Environmental
Resources Management Department, known as the Pond Cypress Natural Area, was
inadvertently included among these parcels designated as right-of-way. The
proposed new resolution will repeal and replace Resolution R2011-0860 with a resolution
containing appropriate legal descriptions to correct the road right-of-way
designations. The corrected road right-of-way designations cover an area of
approximately 175 acres. District 6 (YBH)
