5. Staff recommends motion to approve: Lease Agreement (Lease) with the Village of Palm Springs (Palm Springs) for the continued use of Fire Rescue Station No. 39 (FS 39) located at 228 Cypress Lane in Palm Springs for a term of six (6) years retroactively commencing on October 1, 2023 and extending until October 1, 2029 at an annual rent of $67,000, increasing $1,000 annually, plus an additional one-time payment of $15,000, to Palm Springs to account for the rent increase between October 1, 2019 and October 1, 2023. Summary: The Village has received fire-rescue services from the County as a part of the Fire Rescue Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) since October 1, 2009. The County and Palm Springs entered into an Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services (ILA) (R2009-1552) which was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on September 15, 2009. The ILA provided for, among other matters, the lease of FS 39 to the County at an annual rent of $50,000. While the term of the ILA expired on October 1, 2019, it contains a provision allowing for the continuation of the lease of FS 39 as long as Palm Springs continues to receive fire-rescue services from the County, unless and until the parties agree otherwise in writing or negotiate a new agreement regarding the County’s use of the fire station. In 2019, Palm Springs requested to renegotiate the terms of the lease provisions, specifically requesting an increase in rent. Continued negotiations between the County and Palm Springs caused delays in finalizing the lease. The term of the Lease will retroactively commence on October 1, 2023 and extend through October 1, 2029 to coincide with the term of the MSTU. The Lease provides for a lump sum payment of $15,000 to account for increased rent from October 1, 2019 through October 1, 2023, which was not contemplated in the ILA. The amount of the rent for the first year of the lease, commencing October 1, 2023, shall be $67,000. For each subsequent year, the annual rent shall increase by $1,000 per year. Palm Springs is responsible for all exterior and structural maintenance. County is responsible for all interior and air conditioning maintenance. Palm Springs approved the Lease Agreement on January 9, 2025. The Fire Rescue Department supports the Lease and will continue to have administrative responsibility for the Lease.

7. SUMMARY (cont’d.): The bidding pool is further expanded, for projects $150,000 or greater, to include additional bidders responding to the specific project advertisement that submit a qualification application at least ten (10) calendar days before the bid due date. Actual Small/Minority/Women Owned Business Enterprise participation will be tracked cumulatively for all work orders issued. The West County Courthouse-HVAC to Generator Connection project consists of connecting the exiting HVAC units to the emergency generator. The Work Order authorizes the construction services necessary to furnish all labor, equipment, devices, tools, materials, transportation, professional services, supervision, drawings, permitting and all miscellaneous requirements necessary to add seven (7) roof top HVAC units to the emergency generator power. Having the HVAC units connected to the emergency generator will ensure that continued HVAC service is provided to the facility in the time of power outage. 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 250 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 electrical services contract and the requirements of the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance. The annual electrical services contract was presented to the Goal Setting Committee on May 15, 2024 and the Committee established Affirmative Procurement Initiatives (APIs) of a sheltered market for projects less than $100,000 (when three (3) or more small businesses are qualified under the annual contract) or a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) contractor will be given a price preference if its bid is within 10% of the lowest non-small business bid for projects $100,000 or greater. However, on July 1, 2024, certain statutory changes took effect which require that the sheltered market for projects less than $100,000 API be removed. Therefore, the annual electrical services contract will have an API of an SBE Price Preference where an SBE contractor will be given a price preference if its bid is within 10% of the lowest non-small business bid for each project. There is no SBE participation on this Work Order. To date, the Contractor has no SBE participation. To date, the overall SBE participation on the annual electrical services contract is 62.30%.

AA. PALM TRAN

1. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), of Palm Beach County, Florida, approving Public Transportation Grant Agreement (PTGA) G3710 with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in the amount of $2,727,424 in Transit Corridor Development Program funding (CSFA 55.013), to provide funding to purchase up to three (3) commuter-style buses for the Port St. Lucie Express Regional Transit Pilot Program (PSL Express). This PTGA will become effective upon FDOT execution with an expiration date of April 28, 2028; and

B) approve an upward Budget Amendment of $2,727,424 in Palm Tran’s Operating Fund 1341 to recognize the grant award.

Summary: The PSL Express route started service on September 23, 2024, traveling north-south via I-95, providing two (2) morning and two (2) evening peak-time trips between West Palm Beach and Port St. Lucie. The PSL Express is connecting riders to major employment destinations and activity centers in the County. The service utilizes coach-style buses to transport riders along the designated route. These vehicles are currently leased, and those costs are 100% covered by a grant funded by FDOT, which has committed to funding this project for several years after the completion of a successful pilot phase. The purchase of new buses dedicated to this service will ensure customer comfort and maintain reliable service. Palm Tran will continue to collaborate with FDOT and the St. Lucie County/Area Regional Transit for service continuation, as this is a key project identified in their Transit Development Plan (TDP). The PTGA does not require a local match. The grant requires broader indemnification by the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The grant requires the County and its officers, agents, or employees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the State of Florida, FDOT, including FDOT’s officers and employees, from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful misconduct of the County and persons employed or utilized by the County in the performance of this Grant Agreement. The indemnification obligation must also be passed on to contractors and/or consultants and subcontractors and/or subconsultants. The Risk Management Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the indemnification requirements for this grant and advised staff accordingly. Given that liability is limited to the County’s non-compliance or performance of this agreement and the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff recommends BCC approval.

B. PALM TRAN

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) Palm Tran Connection Program guidelines to differentiate Paratransit Complementary Palm Tran Connection transportation services provided per the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), versus Non-ADA transportation which may include Paratransit transportation, Mobility on Demand, or future alternative transportation options serving citizens beyond the Federal Transit Administration’s ADA complementary paratransit requirements;

B) Palm Tran Connection Plus Program guidelines for eligible riders and trips outside of the ¾ mile ADA service area; and

C) A fare increase of $.50 for Palm Tran (Connection) and Palm Tran (Connection Plus), increasing the $3.50 fare to $4.00 for qualified users whose incomes are above 100% of the federal poverty guidelines.

Summary: Per ADA and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s implementing regulations at Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 37.131(a), transit systems must provide ADA complementary paratransit transportation to persons with a physical or cognitive disability who cannot navigate the fixed route system without assistance. ADA complementary transportation must be provided within ¾ mile on either side of each fixed route, a ¾-mile radius at the end of each fixed route, within the transit system’s core service area, and small areas surrounded by fixed route corridors. Currently, ~~Palm Tran~~ Connection provides ADA complementary transportation countywide exceeding the regulations. These proposed changes would enable Palm Tran to improve the efficiency of ADA and non-ADA transportation. For non-ADA paratransit transportation, Connection Plus would facilitate the implementation of cost-effective alternative transportation modalities such as Mobility on Demand, transfers into fixed transportation versus door-to-door for customers capable of using fixed route, and the utilization of best practices in scheduling such as the multi-loading of vehicles, the removal of trip negotiation and travel time limitation restrictions, and trip prioritization. A Title VI fare equity analysis was completed to prevent disparate impact on the basis of race, color, national origin, or low-income populations. Based on this analysis, to prevent a disproportionate burden, qualified riders whose income falls at or below 100% of federal poverty guidelines will be exempt from the fare increase and will continue to pay $3.50 per one-way trip. If approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC), the implementation of the Connection Plus program and the fare increase would begin in January 2026. Countywide (MM)

6. Staff requests Board direction:

A) regarding the approaches the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) would like staff to pursue in addressing the Unsheltered Residents and Housing Development strategic priorities; and

B) regarding the For-Sale Housing Bond Loan Program (HBLP) sales price limit to a percentage of the maximum purchase price set by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC).

Summary: The BCC has adopted the Unsheltered Residents and Housing Development strategic priorities. The former calls for attaining a reduction in homelessness by providing comprehensive support and resources to unsheltered families and individuals by utilizing evidence-based strategies to connect unsheltered residents with emergency shelter, transitional housing, and permanent housing solutions. The latter calls for ensuring access to safe, suitable, and affordable housing for all Palm Beach County residents through the development and implementation of targeted programs that address their housing needs. The Department of Housing and Economic Development (DHED) provides multiple programs to both increase and preserve homeownership opportunities for residents. The programs include providing funding to developers to expand the inventory of for-sale units and provides funding to individuals for homebuyer assistance. The HBLP provides funding on a repayable basis to developers as a low interest construction loan. As a requirement of the HBLP funding the sales price of the HBLP units is restricted to a limit established by the HBLP Allocation Process. Staff recommends establishing the sales price limit as a percentage of the annually adjusted maximum sales purchase (MSP) price set by the FHFC, currently set at $609,806, and has provided the following three options:

Option #1: 80% - which would equate to a MSP of $509,444.

Option #2: 75% - which would equate to a MSP of $477,605

Option # 3:70% - which would equate to a MSP of $445,764.

Staff intends to return at a May 2025 BCC meeting to request approval of a comprehensive modification to the HBLP Allocation Process. This item seeks to: 1) provide the BCC an overview of the initiatives the County is currently implementing, 2) obtain direction as to the BCC’s interest in pursuing specific additional opportunities identified by staff, and 3) obtain direction regarding the HBLP sales price limit to a percentage of the maximum purchase price set by the FHFC.

The Authority converted the previously approved $200M of single family homeowner revenue bonds authorized in 2022 to carry-forward allocation for multifamily rental housing bond issuance. The Authority retains Bryant Miller & Olive, P.A. and Greenberg Traurig, P.A. as its bond and disclosure counsel on a rotating basis. 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. Section 2-190 of the Palm Beach County Code of Ordinances requires that prior to the sale of the Bonds, the BCC shall approve the underwriters, placement agent or direct purchaser of the Bonds. That approval will be requested at a later date. 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 (HJF)

~~C) delegate authority~~ ~~to the County Administrator, or designee, to~~ execute the Loan Agreement, amendments thereto, and all other documents necessary for project implementation and that do not substantially change the scope of work, terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement.

~~SUMMARY:~~ On October 18, 2022, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved an American Rescue Plan Act Replacement Fund (ARPA-RF) award for $5,500,000 for the development of the Project. The Project entails construction of a 48 multi-family rental development, which includes no fewer than 34 County-assisted units. Due to complications with the supplier/manufacturer, substantial increasing costs of local labor and materials, increased modular units costs from new supplier/manufacturer, increased total development costs, and other factors, Legacy has had to identify additional resources to complete the Project. Other sources of development funding for the Project include a loan from the Palm Beach County Housing Authority (Spectra Loan 1 and Spectra Loan 2) and increased funding from the City of West Palm Beach (City). Staff requested a longer affordability period and Legacy has agreed to affordability for 50 years for all County-assisted units. The units are restricted to 44 units at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) ($85,650 for a household of four (4)), and four (4) units at or below 60% AMI ($64,260 for a household of four (4)) as required by HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding from the City. Total County investment for this project is 28.9%. Funding sources for this Project are as follows:

Staff recommends motion to adopt: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (BCC) OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE LOCAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN (LHAP) AS REQUIRED BY THE STATE HOUSING INITIATIVES PARTNERSHIP (SHIP) PROGRAM, SUBSECTIONS 420.907-420.9079, FLORIDA STATUTES (F.S.), AND RULE CHAPTER 67-37, FLORIDA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE; AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, OR DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE ANY NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND CERTIFICATIONS NEEDED BY THE STATE; AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF THE LHAP FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION (FHFC); AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. SUMMARY: Palm Beach County (County) has participated in the SHIP Program since 1993. The State requires that the County submit an LHAP to FHFC every three (3) years. The proposed LHAP, which is due May 2, 2025, covers Fiscal Years 2025-2026, 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. By approving this LHAP and submitting it to FHFC, the County will be in a position to receive funding under the SHIP Program during the three (3) upcoming years when the State makes funding allocations to participating jurisdictions. The proposed LHAP maintains the existing strategies: Purchase Assistance, First Mortgage Loan Assistance Program, Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation, Utility Connection, Emergency Repairs, Replacement Housing, Disaster Assistance, Foreclosure Prevention, Rental Housing Assistance, Developer Assistance Rental Program and Single Family New Construction. The LHAP strategies are detailed in Attachment 1. Additionally, the proposed LHAP includes a definition for Project Delivery Costs which will be used to clarify costs associated with project implementation, and a first priority ranking for Veterans, Special Needs and Senior Citizens. SHIP regulations require that at least 65% of a local jurisdiction’s allocation be earmarked for homeownership activities. These are State SHIP funds which require no local match. Countywide (HJF)

E. FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT & OPERATIONS

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) a Lease Agreement (Lease) with MG Congress, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (MG), for a portion of the property located at 1200 South Congress Avenue in Palm Springs (Premises), for Palm Tran connection paratransit operations, for a term of 8 years at an annual rent of $2,065,000 (i.e., $172,083.33/month) with 3% annual increases; and

B) a Budget Transfer of $1,035,417 in Palm Tran Operating Fund 1340 to fund Fiscal Year 2025 of the Lease.

Summary: The subject facility sits on approximately 12 acres and includes a 47,792 square foot building located at 1200 South Congress Avenue in Palm Springs. MG has entered into a contract to purchase the property. The County seeks to enter into this Lease for the Premises to be used for Palm Tran paratransit operations. The term of the Lease is for eight (8) years, with two (2) seven (7)-year renewal options. The Lease commencement date is contingent on MG’s (i) acquisition of the property, (ii) obtainment of all use approvals from the Village of Palm Springs allowing the County to use the Premises for paratransit operations, and (iii) completion of certain improvements to the Premises by MG. Effective on the Lease commencement date, the annual rent is $2,065,000 (i.e., $172,083.33/month), with annual increases at 3%. This is a triple net lease; therefore, the County will be responsible for maintenance, utilities, insurance, and taxes for the Premises. The County’s obligation to pay property taxes shall be capped at $400,000 for the first (1^st) full calendar year following lease commencement. If the taxes for the first (1^st) full calendar year exceed $400,000, the rent shall be decreased in the amount above the $400,000. To fund the first (1^st) year of the Lease, Palm Tran requires a budget transfer to decrease the Operating reserves budget line item and increase the Rent – Building reserves budget line item; this budget transfer requires Board of County Commissioner (BCC) approval. Palm Tran supports this Lease as it will allow for greater efficiency and efficacy in performing paratransit operations with multiple vendors. Palm Tran will have administrative responsibilities for this Agreement. (Property & Real Estate Management) District 3 (HJF)
