7. Staff recommends motion to approve: an interlocal agreement (Agreement) with the

Village of Wellington (Village), repealing and replacing interlocal agreement R96-2032D, signed December 17, 1996, as amended on October 2, 2007 (R2007-1670), and the Quercus Signal Maintenance Agreement (R2008-2253) signed December 2, 2008, providing for traffic control functions and duties within the Village by Palm Beach County (County) and the terms pertaining to the requirements associated with the installation and maintenance of traffic cameras, including license plate readers on traffic signal poles maintained by the County (collectively Cameras), golf cart related traffic control devices at signalized intersections (Golf Cart Devices), and decorative art wraps (Wraps) on County maintained signal cabinets. SUMMARY: Section 316.006(2)(a), Florida Statutes, vests municipalities with traffic control jurisdiction over all streets and highways located within their boundaries, except state roads, and provides that a municipality may, by interlocal agreement with a county, agree to transfer traffic regulatory authority (Authority) over areas within the municipality to the county. On December 17, 1996, the County and the Village entered into interlocal agreement R96-2032D, wherein the Village transferred certain traffic control functions and duties to the County over certain signalized intersections. The interlocal agreement was amended on October 2, 2007 (R2007-1670) to provide the County Authority over a portion of Lyons Road. A separate agreement was executed on December 2, 2008 (R2008-2253) and provided certain responsibilities to the County for the traffic signal at Quercus Lane and Forest Hill Boulevard. The Village now agrees to repeal and replace all interlocal agreements (R96-2032D, R2007-1670 and R2008-2253) with the Agreement to transfer authority over all County maintained thoroughfare roadways within the Village’s municipal boundaries, as may be amended, to the County, to transfer certain maintenance and operations responsibilities to the County over certain traffic signals within the Village municipal boundaries, and to outline the Village’s responsibilities for Cameras, Golf Cart Devices, and Wraps. The placement of Wraps on signal cabinets integrates civic art with public infrastructure. District 6 (YBH)

8. Staff recommends motion to approve: an agreement with Valencia Bay

Homeowners Association, Inc. (Community) for enforcement of the traffic laws of the state to be performed by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO). SUMMARY: Approval of this agreement will authorize PBSO to provide enforcement of the traffic laws of the state upon the private roadways during normal patrol hours within the Community. Once the Community certifies that all traffic control devices installed on the Community’s streets are compliant with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the Traffic Division will be able to perform field inspections to verify compliance with the MUTCD during the term of the agreement. Should the Community desire PBSO to be situated in its development at times outside normal hours, the Community understands that a separate contract must be executed with PBSO for additional services and that the Community will be invoiced by PBSO for such additional services. District 5 (YBH)

9. Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the

Seacoast Utility Authority (Authority) in the amount of $458,718.80 for the design and construction of utility adjustments for the Congress Avenue Extension from Northlake Boulevard to Alternate A1A, Phase A (Project). SUMMARY: The County has designed and intends to bid the first phase (Phase A) of the Project to construct a new 3-lane roadway from Northlake Boulevard to Avocado Lane, and has requested that the Authority design and construct the relocation of its water mains, force mains, gravity sewers and associated adjustments to its facilities in advance of construction of the Project. Approval of this Agreement will allow the County to reimburse the Authority $458,718.80 to complete its relocations and adjustments in advance of the Project. The Authority’s facilities are located within right-of-way that is being dedicated to the County by a developer, and the County is responsible for costs associated to remove or relocate the Authority’s facilities. Completion of the Authority’s utility work prior to construction of the Project will eliminate utility conflicts and reduce construction time of the Project. District 1 (YBH)

SUMMARY: FDOT has a project to reconstruct Atlantic Avenue from west of SR 7 to east of Lyons Road (FDOT Project). Palm Beach County (County) has designed the realignment of Half Mile Road from Brook Isles Avenue to north of Atlantic Avenue.

E. COMMUNITY SERVICES (cont’d.)

1. Summary: OAA Amendment 003 (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) #93.044, #93.045, #93.052 & #93.053) allows DSVS to continue providing services to eligible seniors age 60 and older and their caregivers. OAA provides funding for critical services that help older adults maintain their independence. Services include caregiver and in-home support services and meals. The congregate meal program provides meals and nutrition education in churches, community and senior centers and other public and private facilities strategically located throughout Palm Beach County. The home-delivered meal program provides meals and nutrition education to homebound seniors. The in-home services program provides support services to families/caregivers caring for frail older family members. EHEAEP Amendment 004 (CFDA #93.568) provides for retroactive payments, and therefore funds may be used to reimburse the intake center for any goods or services provided on or after April 1, 2021. EHEAEP allows eligible seniors to receive help with their utility bills. EHEAEP program services are funded with approximately $238,134 in federal funds. Seniors can access the program by going to the DSVS intake center near their place of residency. These services improve the overall well-being of seniors allowing them to live in their homes independently. There is a required County match under 3B CFDA #93.044 in the amount of $33,333, C1 CFDA #93.045 in the amount of $63,049, C2 CFDA #93.045 in the amount of $30,000 and 3E CFDA #93.052 in the amount of $18,333, totaling $144,715, which is already included in the budget. No additional County match is required. The number of seniors served is based on the grant, the need of the clients and funding availability. The upward budget amendment is necessary to align the County budget with the actual grant award. DSVS is responsible for providing services north of Hypoluxo Rd. The areas of service include all of the districts, excluding District 2, 4, 5 and 7 south of Hypoluxo Rd. Mae Volen Center, Inc. is responsible for providing services in the areas south of Hypoluxo Rd. (DSVS) Countywide except for portions of Districts 2, 4, 5, and 7 south of Hypoluxo Rd. (HH)

Summary: The Homeless Advisory Board assists the County in reaching its ten (10) year plan to end homelessness goals. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recommends that recipients of Continuum of Care (CoC) funds comply with the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 (HEARTH Act), and with 24 CFR Part 578. The CoC provides funds for the operation and maintenance of Safe Havens, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing.

Per Resolution No. R2016-0038, the total membership for the HAB shall be no more than 14 at-large members, comprised of members representing government, business providers, law enforcement, advocates, education, faith-based and the formerly homeless. Mr. Nieves is employed by The Lord’s Place, Inc., which contracts with the County for services; however, the HAB provides no regulation, oversight, management, or policy setting recommendations regarding the subject contracts or transactions.

(Contractor) in the amount of $685,760 for the North County Government Center-Card Access Replacement (Rebid) project for a period of 320 calendar days from notice to proceed. Summary: The work consists of furnishing all labor, equipment, devices, tools, machinery, transportation, professional services, supervision, shop drawings, permitting and all miscellaneous requirements necessary to remove and replace the existing card access system at the North County Government Center Facility. The existing equipment has outlived its useful life, but more importantly, it is not the standard security access control system used by the County for its Criminal Justice Facilities. The County currently utilizes Lenel OnGuard (Lenel) as the standard platform for all Criminal Justice Facilities countywide. The existing card access system at the North County Government Center Facility will be removed and replaced with a new Lenel card access system. The new card access system will be more secure, efficient and provide years of dependable service. This project was competitively advertised and new contractors were invited to bid on the project by submitting prequalification documents prior to the submission of the bid response. The Contractor will have 320 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 $120 per day. This work order was solicited pursuant to the annual low voltage contract and the requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Ordinance. The annual low voltage contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on March 17, 2021 and the Committee established Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) of sheltered market for projects less than $100,000 (when three (3) or more small businesses are qualified under the annual contract) or an SBE contractor will be given a price preference for projects $100,000 or greater if its bid is within 10% of the lowest non-small business bid. Since this project is over $100,000, the SBE price preference API was applied. The Contractor is a local and certified SBE firm. The SBE participation on this work order is 100%. To date, the overall SBE participation on the annual low voltage contract is 78.86%. Funding for this project is from the Public Building Improvement Fund.

B) receive and file a Master Research Agreement No. C-23-229 between Palm Beach County and Florida Atlantic University (FAU) for a 90-day extension, which was granted. This will be to complete the Hazard Mitigation Grant project and will extend the agreement to December 31, 2023.

Summary: On April 7, 2022, the FDEM announced a grant opportunity for Community Rating System (CRS) communities to aid them in the development of a Watershed Master Plan (WMP) to help improve their CRS ratings. On May 17, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners granted delegated authority to submit the grant application and enter into the agreement with FDEM. FDEM executed the agreement on December 1, 2022 for the Hazard Mitigation Grant reflecting their commitment of funding to the above reference project for $210,000. With the collaboration with Florida Atlantic University (FAU), the funding will provide for the development of a WMP as a prerequisite for all communities to achieve a Class 4 or higher Community Rating System (CRS) rating. The CRS program allows participating communities to achieve significant discounts for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policyholders on flood insurance premiums for their properties.

3. Staff recommends motion to adopt: A Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners, Florida, authorizing the County Administrator, or designee, to execute escrow agreements for developers using the Exchange Builder Option of the Workforce Housing Program, amendments thereto, and other documents necessary for implementation of the Workforce Housing Program. Summary: The Workforce Housing Program, Article 5.G.3 of the Unified Land Development Code, establishes several options for the disposition of the workforce housing obligation. These include an Exchange Builder Option wherein a developer subject to the Workforce Housing Program can transfer the development’s workforce housing obligation to another project constructed by a different developer in exchange for a specified payment. The Exchange Builder Option includes a requirement that a guarantee acceptable to the County be provided, to be collected if the Exchange Builder does not ultimately deliver the required workforce units. The guarantee can take several forms, including a letter of credit, surety, or escrow account. In the case of an escrow account, an escrow agreement must be executed by the Exchange Builder, bank, and the County. The proposed resolution will facilitate exchanges that propose to use an escrow account, by authorizing the County Administrator, or designee, to execute the escrow agreement on behalf of the County.

4. Summary: A legislative appropriation was approved from the State of Florida FY23-FY24 General Appropriations Act providing $110,000 in non-recurring general revenue funds to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for a statewide study on zoning regulations for community residences for people with disabilities and recovery communities for people in recovery from substance use disorder. This was part of a legislative funding request from Palm Beach County through the Office of the State Attorney, 15^th Judicial Circuit Court, State Addiction Recovery Task Force (SAART). Under this interagency agreement, DCF will provide the appropriated funds to PBC to contract with Florida State University’s (FSU) Institute of Government to provide directly or by sub agreement a zoning study. The study is necessary to begin the process of creating a system whereby local governments can use to create local zoning ordinances to protect disabled residents living in community residences from exploitation, while protecting communities from human warehouses or flophouses masquerading as community residences for those with disabilities. The study will create a more statewide standard approach to zoning that recognizes the benefit of these homes, while creating a uniform process that protects individuals and communities. The study will also include guidance in drafting appropriate statewide zoning regulations for sober living homes and recovery communities. The emergency signature process was used for the Mayor to execute the contract with DCF so staff can begin working with FSU on the contract terms and conditions for the study. Since funding ceases June 30, 2024, staff is requesting authority be given to the County Administrator to execute the contract with FSU to begin the study immediately and will return to the BCC to receive and file the contract. No County matching funds are required for this grant. Countywide (RS)

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Concessionaire Lease Agreement (Agreement) with Dune Dog Acquisitions, Inc., a Florida corporation, for approximately 1,300 SF of space at Carlin Park in Jupiter for the operation of a food and beverage concession for a term of three (3) years, commencing no later than 60 days after approval by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) plus two (2) successive three (3) year renewals, at an initial rental rate of $110,000/year ($9,167/month). Summary: The Parks and Recreation Department (Parks) desires to continue to provide food and beverage services at Carlin Park through a concessionaire agreement. In January 2022, at the request of Parks, Facilities Development & Operations (FDO), Property and Real Estate Management Division (PREM) advertised Request for Proposals No. 2021-102-DML for the operation of this concession. While the Selection Committee recommended award of the concession to Hawkhaven, LLC, d/b/a Lazy Loggerhead, negotiations of an agreement were unsuccessful. In November 2022, a second Request for Proposals No. 2023-101-LMD (RFP) was advertised. Submittals were received from Dune Dog Acquisitions, Inc. (Dune Dog), SW Hospitality Group, LLC and Belvedere Hospitality, LLC; Belvedere Hospitality, LLC was deemed non-responsive. On April 6, 2023, the Selection Committee reviewed the responsive submittals, ranked Dune Dog as the highest and recommended it for award of the concession agreement. On April 12, 2023 Belvedere Hospitality, LLC filed a protest to the determination of non-responsiveness. On June 6, 2023, after reviewing all relevant documents, the FDO Director denied the protest. In performing the review leading to the denial of the protest, a procedural deficiency was identified. As a result, the FDO Director decided to hold the selection process in abeyance until the protest period had concluded and a decision was issued, after which the Selection Committee was to reconvene to evaluate the proposals again. On July 20, 2023, the Selection Committee met again and ranked the proposal from Dune Dog as the highest one. The term of the Agreement is for three (3) years, with two 3-year options to extend under the same terms and conditions. The term shall commence 30 days after issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or 60 days after Board approval of the Agreement, whichever is earlier. The guaranteed annual rent is $110,000 ($9,167/month), with annual 2% increases, plus a percentage rent of 8.5% on monthly gross revenue when the monthly gross revenues exceeds the guaranteed rent. Dune Dog posted the required $2,500 security deposit. Parks will manage and administer the Agreement. (Property and Real Estate Management) District 1 (HJF)

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Resolution expressing solidarity with the State of Israel, condemning the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas, and expressing deep condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives or been profoundly affected by this devastating assault. Summary: On Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 6:30am, Hamas, the known terror group controlling Gaza, initiated an unprovoked and surprise attack on Israel. This attack utilized rockets, paragliders, boats, motorcycles, and other vehicles to infiltrate Israel with the purpose to harm, kill, and take Israeli citizens hostage. Tragically, many Israeli men, women, and children lost their lives during this horrific invasion. Americans are included amongst the many other nationalities of those declared dead and kidnapped at the hands of Hamas. Palm Beach County is home to a large portion of the Jewish population in the United States and is taking this step to show support for Israel. With this Resolution, the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County will stand in solidarity with the State of Israel, vehemently condemn the unwarranted attacks by Hamas, and express deep condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives or been profoundly affected by this devastating assault.
