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.

Goldberg, Inc. in the amount of $371,500 for the design, permitting, fabrication and installation of “Opening Minds” art installation for the forthcoming Canyon Branch Library facility. SUMMARY: On January 19, 2022, a Finalist Selection Panel comprised of the Public Art Committee, Library System Director Doug Crane, and representative of Colome & Associates, Inc.

3.         Staff recommends 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%. (Capital Improvements Division) District 7 (MWJ)

D) Irrevocable Letter of Direction submitted by D. Stephenson Construction, Inc. dated 5/27/22 and requested by its surety directing the establishment of an escrow account for the project.

 

            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.

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.

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County’s Regional and State Transitional Offender Reentry (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 October 1, 2021.  The Florida Department of Corrections agreed to make changes at the start of the FY22 adult reentry contract period of October 1, 2021. The first amendments for TLP and GGI contracts were submitted as a receive and file at the March 8, 2022 BCC meeting.

B) a Memorandum of Agreement with the State of 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 has been the designated 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, supported and accepted the CTC designation on February 23, 2022.

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.

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 7 (HJF)

3.         Staff recommends 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 Borrower to: (i) finance and refinance (including through reimbursement) certain pre-construction development costs related to acquiring, constructing and equipping continuing care retirement facilities, including an expected 174 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 any County funds are pledged to pay the principal, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Notes.

4.             Staff recommends 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.

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.

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)

            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).

I.          ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         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.
