53 5I-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: a Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners recognizing the significance of the Emmett Till
Antilynching Act and Soil Collection Ceremony for Sam Nelson. SUMMARY: The
Federal Emmett Till Antilynching Act is named after
14-year-old Emmett Till, who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, sparking
national and international outrage. The Act makes lynching a Federal hate
crime. The Palm
Beach County Community Remembrance Project Coalition will be holding a Soil
Collection Ceremony for Mr. Sam Nelson on June 18, 2022 during the Juneteenth
Event at Pompey Park in partnership with the County, the City of Delray Beach,
and the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum. This event is part of the Coalition’s
education and community engagement work with an essay contest to follow later
this year. Mr. Nelson was lynched in Palm Beach County on September 27, 1926
and no one was held accountable for his murder. On August 17, 2021, the Board
recognized Juneteenth as an official County Holiday. (Admin)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a contract with Constructive Engineering,
Inc. (Constructive) in the amount of $545,390.60 for Miner Road from Military Trail to Lawrence Road (Project). SUMMARY: Approval of this contract will authorize the professional services
necessary for preparation of design plans and construction bid documents for a
new three-lane roadway. While the right of way exists for Miner Road from
Military Trail to Lawrence Road, the roadway is not constructed to Palm Beach
County standards within this segment. The Affirmative Procurement
Initiatives selected for this contract on May 15, 2019 by the Goal Setting
Committee are a 20% minimum mandatory
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation and an SBE Evaluation Preference
for prime respondents. Constructive agreed to 80% SBE participation for the
contract. Constructive has an office located in the County and is a
certified SBE company. On September

motion to approve: Change Order No. 21 to Amendment No. 1 to the
contract with The Morganti Group, Inc. (R2017-0419) decreasing the Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMP) for construction management services for the Palm Tran
South Expansion project in the amount of $394,961.69. SUMMARY: On March 12, 2019, the Board
of County Commissioners (Board) approved Amendment No. 1 (R2019-0377) and
Amendment No. 2 (R2019-0378) to the contract with The Morganti Group, Inc.
(Morganti) in the amount of $22,527,000 and $1,683,000 respectively. Amendment
No.1 authorized construction services to expand and renovate the Palm Tran
South Facility, which included the addition of approximately 28,000 square feet
of building space consisting of offices, locker rooms, training centers for bus
operators, ancillary support spaces, a new parking lot, and a new bus lift at
the existing maintenance building. Amendment No. 2 authorized the installation
of the closed-circuit television, access control, fire alarm, audio/video (A/V)
system, intercom system, tele-data and cable television system for the
expansion and renovation of the Palm Tran South Facility. At the time of
Amendment No. 2, the County thought that many of these systems would not
qualify for federal funding due to concerns related to Buy America
requirements. However, the County later learned that much of the work under
Amendment No. 2 qualified for federal funding and would comply with Buy
America. As a result, on March 10, 2020, the Board approved Change Order No. 5
(R2020-0251) and Change Order No. 6 (R2020-0253) which deducted various
services from Amendment No. 2 and added the scope of those services to
Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $1,408,785. Concurrently, the Board approved a
termination agreement (R2020-0252) to terminate GMP Amendment No. 2. The scope
for A/V installation services that was not compliant with the Buy America
provision was secured under a separate contract utilizing ad valorem funds.
There is $394,961.69 remaining as a result of buyout savings, unused
allowances, and unused contractor contingency under Amendment No. 1. All
savings will be returned to the Palm Tran Grants fund. This project has a
Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) requirement, which required Morganti to
make a good faith effort to subcontract at least 10% of the dollar value of the
total amount of this contract to certified DBE subcontractors. Morganti is a
local business. To date, the DBE participation for this project is 10.22%.

SUMMARY: On
May 5, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved the contract with D.
Stephenson Construction, Inc. (R2020-0435) for construction management services
for the Canyon Branch Library project. Amendment No. 1 authorizes construction
management services for a new 33,321 square feet, one-story Branch Library and
all required site improvements. The project
also includes a 24,650 square feet partially covered exterior Plaza with 242
surface parking spaces and a 3,000 square feet community meeting space. The
10-acre civic Library site is located on the south side of Canyon Town Center
at the corner of Lyons Road and Boynton Beach Boulevard in Boynton Beach. The new library will help relieve
overcrowding at the West Boynton Library Branch, which is landlocked and cannot
be expanded. Additionally, the new library will provide ample space for print
and media collections, a large multipurpose area that will be used for library
events and community meetings, and a variety of seating areas throughout the
facility. The CM will have 425 calendar days from notice to proceed to
substantially complete the project. Liquidated damages for failure to achieve
certification of substantial completion within the contract time or approved
time extension thereof are $550 per day. The surety bonding the project,
Atlantic Specialty Insurance Group (a subsidiary of Intact Insurance Group USA,
LLC) has requested that D. Stephenson issue an Irrevocable Letter of Direction
to the County for the establishment of a project dedicated escrow account. The
Irrevocable Letter of Direction is a funds management tool not commonly used by
the County in its construction projects. After receiving the Irrevocable Letter
of Direction, Staff conducted additional due diligence to fully understand the
operational and financial implications of recommending approval; no detrimental
impacts were identified. Therefore, Staff is recommending approval of the
Irrevocable Letter of Direction. On August 5, 2021, the Goal Setting Committee
established an Affirmative Procurement Initiative of a minimum mandatory 20%
SBE subcontracting goal, of which 8% must be African American and/or Hispanic
American. The work was competitively solicited by D. Stephenson. SBE participation for this amendment is
24.37% of which 13.16% is African American. Funding for this contract is
from the Library Expansion Program and Library Impact Fees Fund. The budget
transfers will increase the total project from $20,630,000 to $34,900,000.

(RESTORE) Initiative is funded by local, state, and federal sources. The
Department of Public Safety, Division of Justice Services, solicits community
providers through a competitive procurement process to provide adult reentry
services such as pre-release/post-release case management and client support services. The Lords Place, Inc. (TLP), the RB Reentry
Center, and Gulfstream Goodwill Industries, Inc. (GGI) were selected as the
providers for 2019-2022. The State of Florida FY21-FY22 General Appropriations
Act provided $500,000 (CSFA# 70.011) in non-recurring general revenue funds to
the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for adult reentry
services. The original purchase order (PO) was submitted as a receive and file
at the October 5, 2021 BCC meeting. A first amendment to the PO updated case
management unit costs for the three providers. Therefore, the first amendment
for RB updates the case management unit costs reflected in the first amendment
PO. Case management unit rates for RB will increase from $13.15 to $13.48 per
15 minutes of service delivery. The unit
cost rate change was made in order to reflect the new unit rate effective

Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) to serve as the
designated CTC for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2027.
SUMMARY: Since 1999, the BCC doing business as Palm Tran

the CTD for approval. The BCC needs to notify the TPA by letter and resolution
of its desire to continue as the CTC for Palm Beach County. In light of these
efforts, the Transportation Planning Agency Board voted to recommend to the CTD
that the BCC continue as the designated CTC. The CTD approved the designation
on May 25, 2022. The Transportation Disadvantaged, the Local Coordinating Board,

delays caused by COVID 19. The amendment also includes an increase in the service rates from $41.99
to $42.20 per revenue hour, reflective of the increased costs
of operations. While this amendment
increases the contract ceiling from $1,792,711 to $2,410,983.20, it will not

1. Staff recommends
motion to adopt:
a Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida; approving the issuance of
Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida, Multifamily Housing
Revenue Bonds (Boynton Bay Apartments) in the principal amount of $39,000,000
(the Bonds). SUMMARY: The Bonds are being issued by the Housing Finance
Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida (the Authority), to finance the costs
of acquiring, rehabilitating and equipping a multifamily rental housing
facility for seniors age 55 and over containing approximately 240 units known as
Boynton Bay Apartments (the Project).
The Project is located at 499 Boynton Bay Circle in the City of Boynton
Beach, Florida. Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the Code) these units will be rented to qualified persons and
families whose household incomes do not exceed 60% of area median income
($55,200 for a family of four for 2022). As a result of the Bonds, the Project
will have a 30 year affordability period.
The borrower is Boynton Bay Preservation, LLC, a Florida limited
liability company, or an affiliate thereof (the Borrower), and the developer is
Boynton Bay Developer, LLC. The Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived
from the Borrower and/or other collateral provided by or on behalf of the
Borrower. Bryant Miller Olive P.A. is Bond Counsel to the Authority with
respect to the Bonds, and RBC Capital Markets, LLC will be the underwriter or
placement agent for the Bonds. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and
credit of the County nor any County funds are pledged to pay the principal,
redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. District 7 (DCB)

2. Staff recommends
motion to:
A) approve a State Housing Investment
Partnerships (SHIP) Program award of $1,499,500 to Wells Landing Apartments
LLC;
B) approve a SHIP award of $500,500
to Berkeley Landing LLC;
C) approve additional revenue
replacement American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding of $589,500 to Berkeley
Landing LLC;
D) approve a budget transfer of $589,500 in the ARPA fund;
E) direct staff to negotiate the loan
agreement(s); and
F) authorize the County Administrator
or designee to execute the loan agreement(s), amendments thereto, and all other
documents necessary for project implementation.
SUMMARY: On March 7, 2022, the Department of Housing and
Economic Development issued Request for Proposals HED.2022.1 (RFP) making
$2,000,000 in State SHIP funding available to developers for new construction,
rehabilitation, or acquisition of affordable multifamily housing. A selection committee consisting of three
voting members met at a public meeting held on May 5, 2022, and recommended
funding for two projects:
1) $1,499,500
loan to Wells Landing Apartments LLC (an affiliate of Centennial Management
Corp.) to construct Wells Landing, a 124-unit multifamily rental development,
including no fewer than 21 SHIP-assisted units, located on Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard, east of Seacrest Boulevard, Boynton Beach. The project includes 21 units for households at
30% Area Median Income (AMI), 4 units for 50% AMI, 32 units for 60% AMI, and 67
units for 70% AMI.
2) $1,090,000
loan to Berkeley Landing LLC (an affiliate of Pinnacle Communities and Wendover
Housing Partners) to construct Berkeley Landing, a 112-unit multifamily rental
development, including no fewer than 15 SHIP-assisted units, located at
3100-3124 Broadway Avenue, Riviera Beach.
The project includes 17 units for households at 30% AMI, 74 units for
60% AMI, 19 units for 80% AMI, and 2 market rate units.
The Berkeley Landing proposal requested a total of
$1,090,000 in funding. In an effort to support shovel ready projects, we
recommend funding the remaining $589,500 utilizing revenue replacement ARPA
funds. The funding will be provided using the same agreement, terms and
conditions as the awarded SHIP funding. All SHIP-assisted units will remain
affordable to tenants with incomes no greater than 80% of AMI for no less than
30 years. The funding agreements and
related documents pursuant to these SHIP funds will be between the County and
the entities identified herein or their respective successors and/or
assigns. To facilitate project
implementation, staff requests authorization for the County Administrator or designee
to execute the loan agreements and related documents. These are County ARPA
and State SHIP Program grant funds that do not require a local match. District

motion to adopt: a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, (BCC) authorizing
the issuance by the Palm Beach County Health Facilities Authority of its Revenue
Bond Anticipation Notes for the Green Cay Life Plan Village Project (Project)
in one or more series and in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$45,000,000, the proceeds from the sale of which will be used principally to
finance and refinance certain capital improvements for Green Cay Life Plan
Village, Inc. (the Borrower) as described therein. SUMMARY: The Borrower has requested the Palm Beach County Health Facilities
Authority (the Authority) to issue tax-exempt Revenue Bond Anticipation Notes (the
Notes) for the Project, in one or more series and in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $45,000,000 in order to loan the proceeds thereof to the

independent living units, 16 assisted living units, 16 memory care units,
common areas, parking and ancillary facilities and equipment, all to be
developed on an approximately 15.0-acre tract of unimproved land located at
12747 Jog Road, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida 33437 (the Project),
(ii) fund any necessary reserves, and (iii) pay costs associated with the
issuance of the Notes. On April 19,
2022, the Authority held a public hearing, which public hearing was duly
conducted by the Authority on such date upon reasonable public notice, and at
which hearing members of the public were afforded reasonable opportunity to be
heard on the Project and the Notes in accordance with Section 147(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). After the public hearing the Authority
adopted a resolution providing for its preliminary approval of the Notes and
requesting that the BCC, provide its approval pursuant to Section 147(f) of the
Code and Section 125.01(z), Florida Statutes.
Neither the taxing power nor the faith and credit of the County nor

motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of
County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida (BCC), approving the
issuance of not exceeding $200,000,000 Housing Finance Authority of Palm Beach
County, Florida, Homeowner Revenue Bonds, Multiple Series (the Bonds) within
the meaning of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the Code). SUMMARY: The Bonds are being issued by the Housing Finance
Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida (the Authority) to implement its Single
Family Homeowner Revenue Bond Program (Program), which Program is for the
purpose of providing to qualified mortgagors mortgage financing for
owner-occupied, single family residential housing facilities within the
Authority’s area of operation. The Authority intends to apply for Region 15 private
activity bond allocation (PAB) from the Florida Division of Bond Finance on or
before the deadline of June 30. Region
15 PAB is only $78,847,878.02, the Authority will find out in November if the
excess amount over $78,847,878.02 up to $200,000,000 is available. The
Authority intends to request “carry-forward” allocation for whatever amount of
PAB the Authority receives. The Authority will be able to use this
carry-forward allocation after December 31, 2022 for either single-family
homeowner revenue bonds, single-family mortgage credit certificates and/or
multifamily housing revenue bonds. Single-family homeowner revenue bonds have
not been financially feasible for a number of years, but that may change given
current market conditions. The Authority
retains Bryant Miller & Olive P.A. and Greenberg Traurig, P.A. as its bond
and disclosure counsel on a rotating basis.
However, it has not yet been determined which of these firms will fill
these roles in the event the Bonds are issued as set forth above. Neither the taxing power nor the faith and
credit of the County, nor any County funds, shall be pledged to pay principal
or redemption premiums, if any, or interest on the Bonds. Countywide (DB)
5. Staff recommends
motion to execute: a “Certification By State or Local Official of PHA Plans Consistency
with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan” for the Palm Beach
County Housing Authority (PBCHA) in connection with its Annual Plan for Fiscal
Year 2022-2023. SUMMARY: The PBCHA has prepared its Annual Plan for
Fiscal Year 2022-2023 for submission to the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). HUD requires the
County to confirm that the plans and programs outlined in the Annual Plan are
consistent with the goals and objectives set forth in the County’s Consolidated
Plan. Consistency with the Consolidated
Plan is documented through a “Certification by State or Local Official of PHA
Plans Consistency with the Consolidated Plan or State Consolidated Plan.” The
Department of Housing and Economic Development has reviewed the PBCHA Annual
Plan and determined that the goals, objectives, and activities outlined therein
are consistent with the Palm Beach County Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years
2020-2024. Specifically, the PBCHA plan
will target assistance to households with incomes of no more than 30% of Area
Median Income (AMI) and 50% of AMI, as well as the elderly and families with
disabilities. The PBCHA plan also calls for activities to affirmatively further
fair housing, increase the number of affordable housing units, and
de-concentrate public housing. The
County’s Consolidated Plan identified the need for rental housing, which is
affordable to families with incomes of up to 80% of AMI, and needs for more
affordable rental housing for the elderly and persons with disabilities, among
others. Countywide (HJF)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on
Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at 9:30 a.m.:

E. MEDICAL EXAMINER
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) the addition of one full-time
Associate Medical Examiner (pay grade 00) and one full-time Forensic Technician
(pay grade 22) to the Medical Examiner’s Office complement; and
B) a budget
transfer of $100,000 in the General Fund from Contingency Reserve to fund the
positions in the current fiscal year.
SUMMARY: National Association of Medical Examiners
(NAME) accreditation is an endorsement indicating that the office provides an
adequate environment for a medical examiner in which to practice his or her
profession and provides reasonable assurances that the office well serves its
jurisdiction. Accreditation standards set forth a maximum of 250 NAME cases
that each Associate Medical Examiner can perform per year, with “best practice”
listed as 225 NAME cases. Data extrapolation as of April 30, 2022 indicate a
25% increase of NAME cases since 2019. The result will be for each Associate
Medical Examiner to have 241 NAME cases by the end of 2022. Equally affected by
the increasing cases, Forensic Technicians work in close support of the Associate
Medical Examiners. The many duties of a Forensic Technician include
body-processing, x-ray, assisting in the examination, and proper body release.
Increased caseload must be supported in kind with appropriate Forensic
Technician staffing to meet minimum NAME requirements within the morgue and to
provide direct support to the Associate Medical Examiner in conducting
examinations. The work product of both Associate Medical Examiners and Forensic
Technicians complement each other to maximize accuracy, efficiency, and safety.
The addition of these two positions is needed in order to reduce the number of
cases per Associate Medical Examiner. Countywide (SF)

STAFF REVIEW Staff recommends motion to approve:
A) a Partial Release of Deed Restrictions for a
5.57 acre parcel located south of Pioneer Road and west of the Florida Turnpike
conveyed to KidSanctuary Campus, Inc.; and
B) a consent to transfer of ownership of a 5.57
acre parcel conveyed to KidSanctuary, Inc. on June 6, 2006 (R2006-1043).
SUMMARY: On June 6, 2006, (R2006-1043), the Board
conveyed a 5.57 acre parcel located south of Pioneer Road and west of the
Florida Turnpike to KidSanctuary, Inc., a non-profit corporation, at no cost,
for KidSanctuary’s development of a group home for children with physical
and/or emotional disabilities. The
County Deed provided that the property would automatically revert to the County
under certain circumstances including the property owner’s failure to meet
certain construction and/or operational deadlines, or the property owner’s
conveyance of the property to an unrelated entity without prior Board consent
to the conveyance. On June 7, 2011,
(R2011-0846), the Board approved an extension to construct the facility in 5
phases over a 15 year period, expiring on February 1, 2026. On August 16, 2016,
(R2016-0991), the Board approved actual completion dates of the completed Phases
and allowed KidSanctuary Campus, at its discretion, to construct the
recreation/administration/ enrichment center on the 5.57 acre parcel previously
conveyed by the County or on adjacent properties the organization had then
recently acquired. KidSanctuary Campus has completed the five phases in advance
of the deadlines. KidSanctuary Campus enlisted Place of Hope, Inc., a not for
profit organization, to operate (through an operating agreement) the
KidSanctuary facility on the subject property and on March 1, 2022, notified
the County that it wishes to convey the property to Place of Hope. The property
furthers no County function, and the Partial Release of Deed Restrictions
releases the certain construction and operational deadlines only. All other conditions
and restrictions remain unmodified and in full force and effect. This
partial release of deed restrictions must be approved by a supermajority vote
(5 Commissioners). (Property & Real Estate Management) District 6

motion to approve: a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners recognizing the significance of the Emmett
Till Antilynching Act and Soil Collection Ceremony for Sam Nelson. SUMMARY: The
Federal Emmett Till Antilynching Act is named after
14-year-old Emmett Till, who was lynched in Mississippi in
1955, sparking national and international outrage. The Act makes lynching a
Federal hate crime. The Palm Beach
County Community Remembrance Project Coalition will be holding a Soil
Collection Ceremony for Mr. Sam Nelson on June 18, 2022 during the Juneteenth
Event at Pompey Park in partnership with the County, the City of Delray Beach,
and the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum. This event is part of the Coalition’s
education and community engagement work with an essay contest to follow later
this year. Mr. Nelson was lynched in Palm Beach County on September 27, 1926
and no one was held accountable for his murder. On August 17, 2021, the Board
recognized Juneteenth as an official County Holiday. Countywide (LDC)
