Grant and Lease agreements. Based on
recent discussions with the Property Appraiser’s Office, the current assessed
value of the property is $27,553,479.
This item provides for the execution of the contractual obligations approved
under the Grant and Ground Lease agreements. This conveyance must be approved by a Supermajority Vote (5
Commissioners). (FDO)

SUMMARY: The amendments allow the
DSVS to provide services to seniors and their caregivers. Under the CCE
agreement, (CSFA No. 65.010), seniors and caregivers are assisted with in-home
services that help seniors live independently. The CCE program services are
funded with $170,048 in state funds and there is a required County
match of $18,894, which is already included in the budget. In Grant Year (GY) 2016-
2019, CCE served 676 clients, provided 6,931 hours of case management and
282,909 hours of In-home services, and the amendment increases the overall
total funding by $170,048, for a new total agreement amount of $1,870,532.
Under the HCE agreement, (CSFA No. 65.001), DSVS assists older adults and
caregivers with the provision of care in a family-type living arrangement as an
alternative to institutional care. In GY 2016-2019, the HCE program served 167
clients, provided 2,006 hours of case management and 13,405 hours of in-home
services and the amendment increases the overall total funding by $26,252, for
a new total agreement amount of $214,539. Under the ADI agreement, (CSFA No.
65.002-65.004), DSVS will provide case management, in-home respite and
facility-based respite. The ADI program services are funded with $196,769 in
state funds. In GY 2016- 2019, the ADI program served 302 clients, provided
2,892 hours of case management and 178,987 hours of in-home services, and the
amendment increases the overall total funding by $196,769, for a new total
agreement amount of $1,351,590. The Coronavirus
Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act 2021 Standard
Agreement, (CFDA No. 93.045) is a new grant and there is no County match
required. The CRRSA Act 2021 Standard Agreement provides retroactive payments
to reimburse the DSVS for nutritional goods and services provided to seniors
due to the impact of COVID-19. The Coronavirus Response and Relief program
services are funded with $539,751 in federal funds. The budget amendment is necessary
to align the County budget with the actual grant award. The DSVS is responsible
for providing services north of Hypoluxo Rd. The areas of service include all
of the districts, excluding District 3, 4, 5 and 7 south of Hypoluxo Road. The
Mae Volen Center, Inc. is responsible for providing services in the areas south
of Hypoluxo Road. (DSVS) Countywide except for portions of Districts 3, 4,

motion to:
A) ratify the signature
of the Mayor on the Phase 38 Emergency Food and Shelter Program Grant Application, for a period to be
determined upon receipt of funding, in the amount of $300,000, for the
provision of rental assistance to individuals and families in need; and
B) authorize the County
Administrator or designee to execute grant agreements, amendments, thereto, and
all other necessary documents related to the Emergency Food and Shelter Program
(EFSP).
SUMMARY: The Emergency Food and
Shelter National Board Program is a restricted federal grant that provides EFSP
funds. The United Way of Palm Beach County, Inc. (United Way) administers the award
locally and released the Phase 38 EFSP Grant Application. The Division of Human
and Veteran Services (DHVS) has received EFSP funds for the past 26 years. The
DHVS has applied for funds in the amount of $300,000 to provide rental
assistance to individuals and families in need. During the last EFSP funding
cycle 257 households were served, a 10% increase from the previous funding
cycle. The EFSP funds are non-recurring
funds and no County match is required. The emergency signature process was
utilized because there was not sufficient time to submit the grant application

Opportunity, to certify that the Palm Beach County Community Services
Department complied with all applicable state single or project specific audit
requirements of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, the applicable rules of the
Department of Financial Services and the Auditor General. SUMMARY: The Audit Compliance Certification
Form certifies that the Community Action Program (CAP) has complied with all
applicable program audit requirements that are reflective in Section 215.97,
Florida Statutes, and the applicable rules of the Department of Financial
Services and the Auditor General for both the Community Services Block Grant

Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Agreement No.
17EA-0F-10-60-01-023. The completed form signed by the Mayor allows CAP
to continue to receive CSBG and LIHEAP funding. CSBG funding provides economic
stability and mobility services to approximately 2,700 individuals and
approximately 1,040 families residing in Palm Beach County by providing employment
skills training, job placement services, resume training, financial management
training, rental and utility assistance, and case management services. The
LIHEAP funding allows CAP to continue providing electric utility bill
assistance to approximately 8,000 low-income households residing in Palm Beach
County. The emergency signature process was utilized because there was not
sufficient time to submit the certification form through the regular Board of
County Commissioner’s agenda process. No County match is required. (Community Action Program) Countywide (HH)

Modification P00004 (Mod 4) to Other
Transaction Agreement No. 70T01018T9NCKP023 (R2018-0382, as amended) (OTA) with
the United States of America, acting through the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA), pertaining to TSA’s use of security checkpoint and
baggage screening areas at the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI);
extending TSA’s funding for reimbursement
to the County for cleaning TSA checkpoint areas under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (COVID
Cleaning), from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021;
B) receive and file
Modification P00005 (Mod 5) to the OTA;
extending TSA’s funding for COVID Cleaning,
from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021;
C) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute Modification
P00006 (Mod 6) to the OTA; extending the period of reimbursement for electric
utility charges from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022; reducing the annual
reimbursement amount for electric utility charges by $3,391.80; and
D) authorize the County Administrator or designee to execute future
modifications to the OTA to extend the funding for reimbursement of electric utility charges at TSA screening areas at PBI; and providing for increases or decreases in the amount
of such reimbursements based on documented changes to TSA’s rate of
consumption.
SUMMARY: The OTA formalizes TSA’s obligations related to
use of security checkpoints and areas for the screening of passengers, property
and baggage, and provides for reimbursement of electrical costs associated with
equipment, HVAC, and lighting, as well as COVID Cleaning. TSA reimburses the
County for electricity costs associated with its screening equipment based on a
schedule of equipment located at the checkpoints provided in Exhibit 2A-2. TSA recently replaced components of its
screening equipment, resulting in less electric consumption; therefore, TSA
requested a reduction in the annual reimbursement for the equipment charges from $33,207.36 to $29,815.56 for a total
reduction of $3,391.80. The
reimbursement sum of $97,289.04 for HVAC and lighting remains unchanged. Mod 6
also obligates funding by TSA for reimbursement of electric costs through May
31, 2022. To
ensure timely processing to meet TSA’s funding deadline, the Department is
requesting a delegation of authority to the County Administrator or designee to
sign Mod 6 and any future modification to the OTA to extend the period of
reimbursement, or to modify the amount of reimbursement by TSA for electrical, HVAC or lighting charges based on actual
documented increased or decreased costs. For purposes of this delegation, the
Director of Airports shall be considered a designee. Countywide (AH)

Agreement with RS&H, Inc. for Consulting/Professional Services, to exercise
the first one year renewal option for the continued performance of professional
planning and design services related to the approved Palm Beach County Airports
Capital Improvement Program. SUMMARY: The
Consulting Agreement with RS&H, Inc. for general airport planning and
design was approved by the Board on May 7, 2019 (R2019-0612) in the amount of
$2,004,570.58 in order to carry out the approved Capital Improvement Programs
for the County’s Airports. Amendment No.

Amendment No. 2 was approved by the Board on October 20, 2020
(R2020-1607) increasing the amount of the contract by $3,196,990.03. Approval of Amendment No. 3 will allow the
County, at its sole discretion, to exercise the first one-year renewal option
for the continuation of services provided under this agreement. RS&H, Inc. is a Jacksonville, Florida
based firm; however, the majority of the work to be completed in this agreement
will be managed through their Fort Lauderdale, Florida offices 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 contract. RS&H, Inc. committed to 23% DBE participation for this
agreement. The anticipated DBE participation based upon the approved
tasks is approximately 35.39%. The current paid to date DBE participation

Construction Manager (CM) was advertised on January 28, 2018 according to the
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Ordinance in place at the time, but this GMP,
having been initiated after January 1, 2019, is subject to the requirements of

the project identified in the FIND WAP grant application is $3,000,000. This grant application requests up to
$1,500,000 (50%) for construction costs associated with Phase IIB renovation
and redevelopment of the Ocean Inlet Park Marina. If the FIND grant is
approved, the County will provide
matching funds using Florida Boating Improvement Program funds and Infrastructure Sales Tax funding. Due to grant-related items requiring timely
execution by the County, staff is requesting Board approval for the County
Administrator or designee to approve grant documents and for the Parks and
Recreation Director to act as the County Administrator’s designee and Liaison
Agent for this project, if funding is approved.
The State’s time frame for this application did not allow for prior
approval by the Board. To meet the grant application deadline, Mayor Kerner
signed the application on behalf of the Board as authorized by the Palm Beach
County Administrative Code, Section 309.00.

SUMMARY: On April 25, 2017,
Surdex
Corporation, BAE Systems Information & Electronic
Systems Integration, Inc., and Woolpert, Inc., were selected in
accordance with the Consultant Competitive Negotiations Act to provide the
County with mapping, GPS survey and LiDAR processing services on a work task
order basis. On June 6, 2017, the County and these three companies entered into
two-year contracts with the option to extend for up to three additional
one-year renewals to perform the required professional services for upcoming
geospatial projects. The current amendments will extend the terms of the

services with the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County; and
C) authorize the

SUMMARY:
The Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach
County has an existing Interlocal Agreement with Palm Beach County (R2019-1394)
for network services and has requested an increased level of bandwidth
capacity. The rate of service for the increased bandwidth to 1GB is $840 per
month. This rate will be billed to the Children’s Services Council. Staff recommends
rescinding the existing agreement and replacing it with a new agreement for
network services for a period of one year with four automatic one-year renewals
unless notice is given by either party. The new Interlocal Agreement includes
updated contract terms to provide network services. A pre-existing agreement for the Florida LambdaRail, LLC has approved the
connection of the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County to the
Florida LambdaRail network. District 3 (DB)
3. Staff recommends
motion to receive and file: a fully executed standard Interlocal Agreement for
Assignment of Proper Data and Development of Annual Assessments between the
City of Westlake and Palm Beach County. SUMMARY: Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, establishes a uniform method for levy
collection, and enforcement of non-ad valorem assessments imposed by counties,
municipalities, and special districts. These assessments are calculated on a
unit basis rather than on property value and are used to pay for an improvement
or service to the property such as drainage, lighting, paving or fire hydrants.
Information Systems Services (ISS) has historically assisted special
districts and municipalities in the final preparation of their assessment
rolls. On June 23, 2015, the Board of
County Commissioners approved fees associated with these services and delegated
authority to ISS to execute Interlocal Agreements with municipalities and
special taxing districts. Countywide (DB)

Risk Contract (Contract) with The Morganti Group, Inc. (MGI) for CM at Risk
Services for Airport Improvements for Palm Beach County Department of Airports
(Department) in the amount of $490,813 and 126 calendar days for Work Order MC
11: Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Roof Repairs at Palm Beach
International Airport (PBI). SUMMARY: The Contract with MGI for CM at
Risk Services for Airport Improvements for the Department was approved by the
Board on January 15, 2019 (R2019-0042). The Contract is for two years with
three one year renewal options and is a task/work order based contract for CM
at Risk services for the Department. MGI
is a Danbury, Connecticut, based firm; however, the work will be directly
managed by their southeast regional office in Palm Beach County. The Contract
value to date is $12,671,324.42. Approval of Amendment No. 6 in the amount of
$490,813 and 126 calendar days will enable MGI to complete Work Order MC 11:
ARFF Roof Repairs at PBI. This project is to mitigate water intrusion from
failing roofing components primarily at the interface of the roof and the parapet
wall. A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 12% was established for
this contract. DBE participation for
this project is 15.73%. 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

motion to approve: a County
Deed in favor of The Scripps Research Institute (Scripps) conveying
approximately 70 acres of the Briger tract without reservation of mineral and
petroleum rights pursuant to the Ground Lease Agreement between Palm Beach
County and Scripps (R2012-0204). SUMMARY: On February 28, 2006, the Board of County
Commissioners (Board) approved an Agreement (R2006-0423) for the Donation and
Purchase and Sale with The Lester Family Investments, L.P., Richard Thall,
Robert Thall, Peter L. Briger, Paul H. Briger, and the David Minkin Florida
Realty Trust (Grantor) for 70 acres of property on the Briger site in Palm
Beach Gardens. On May 2, 2006, the Board approved the Grant Agreement with The
Scripps Research Institute, which included the Ground Lease Agreement as an
Exhibit. The Ground Lease was executed on January 24, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of the Grant Agreement
and Ground Lease, the County is obligated to convey the property to Scripps for
$1 provided that Scripps is not in material default of the Ground Lease or
Grant Agreement. To staff’s knowledge, none of the four conditions under which
Scripps could be found in material default currently exist. On January 27,
2021, Scripps sent a formal notice exercising its option to purchase the
property. On April 20, 2021, staff presented to the Board a recommendation to
approve a County Deed in favor of Scripps conveying the property; the Board
postponed consideration of the item and requested staff to provide additional
information regarding valuation of the property and other matters related to
the Grant Agreement and the Ground Lease.
Conveyance of the
property to Scripps was approved as part of the Grant Agreement and Ground
Lease approval subject to subsequent conditions (i.e. no material default under
the Grant Agreement or Ground Lease); therefore, an updated appraisal was not
obtained in preparation for this item recommending approval of the County Deed
under the provisions of the Grant and Lease agreements. Based on recent discussions with the Property
Appraiser’s Office, the current assessed value of the property is $27,553,479. This item provides for the execution of the
contractual obligations approved under the Grant and Ground Lease agreements. This conveyance must be approved by a
Supermajority Vote (5 Commissioners). (Property & Real Estate Management) District

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a conceptual redistricting timeline for proposed Commission District maps. SUMMARY: In anticipation of this year's Redistricting Process, County Administration gathered the pertinent County interested parties, including the School District and Palm Beach County departments: Administration, Attorney's Office, Public Affairs, County Information Systems Services and the Planning Division to discuss the 2021 Redistricting Process. Staff is coordinating with the legal consultant who has worked on previous redistricting updates for the County and will be bringing forward a contract to the Board. The redistricting team drafted a conceptual timeline for this year's Redistricting Process. The Census Bureau previously announced that the statutory deadline for the delivery of apportionment data was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and anomalies found in the census data. The redistricting data used for redrawing districts was originally scheduled for release by April 1, 2021 but is now anticipated to be released no later than September 2021. This delay will significantly compress the timeline for Staff and the Consultant to develop updated Commission District boundaries, which is required by Florida Statute to be completed in an odd-numbered year. This conceptual timeline provides a guideline for anticipated events this year. Countywide (RPB)
