/ (ATTORNEY) / Summary: The County Attorney’s
Office seeks approval from the Board of County Commissioenrs
Commissioners (BCC) to procure and implement a fully automated law
practice management software system to replace our internally developed system,
which was designed in 1999 and incrementally updated since then. While the
County’s internally developed system has provided valuable service over time,
the complexity and pace of current legal work require a purpose-built solution
developed specifically for law practice. The proposed software reflects the
legal industry’s best practices and is designed to address the unique workflow
of a government law office and as such will significantly enhance operational
efficiency, improve interdepartmental communication, strengthen risk management
capabilities, and modernize legal service delivery to County departments and
the BCC. Countywide (DO)

CARE Council
Summary: HIVCC establishes priorities for
the allocation of Ryan White (RW) HIV/AIDS Program funds within the County; and
develops a comprehensive plan for the organization and delivery of health
services described in 42 U.S.C. § 300ff, et seq., that is compatible with any
existing state or local plan regarding the provision of health services to
individuals with HIV/AIDS disease. The United States Department of Health and
Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), requires the County to maintain a planning council responsible for
establishing priorities and allocating RW grant funding. The HIVCC is that
Council. Federal law requires that the planning council’s
composition reflect the demographics of individuals
with HIV/AIDS in the County. At least 33% of its members must be consumers of
RW services who are not affiliated with subrecipient service providers. The law
also requires that the HIVCC represent designated areas, including health care
providers, social service providers, community-based organizations, local
public health agencies, non-elected community leaders, and grantees of Federal
HIV programs. Per Resolution R2011-1560, the total membership for the HIVCC
shall not exceed 33 at-large members. The HIVCC recommends the reappointment of Dr. Youssef Motii,
Executive Director of Oceana Community Health, Inc., who has expressed interest

and exchange of a portion of original properties presented to the Palm Beach
County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) utilizing County-approved HOME
Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Community Housing Development
Organization (CHDO) funds. Summary: On December 10, 2024 (Agenda Item 6C-1),
the BCC approved a HOME-CHDO funding award in the amount of $1,880,000 for the
development of 11 new single-family homes on scattered sites throughout Palm
Beach County. Staff recommends modifying the approved sales price provisions to
remove the fixed sales prices and instead authorize HHSI to sell the homes in
accordance with the Habitat for Humanity program model, whereby the homes are
sold with purchaser mortgage payments structured and limited based on household
income, underwriting standards, and ability-to-pay requirements while remaining
consistent with HOME Program regulations. The resulting housing payment will be
affordable to homebuyers earning no more than 80% of Area Median Income (AMI)
($93,520 for a family of four [4]), and the sales price will not exceed the
lower of appraised value or 95% of area median purchase price (currently
$436,000). In addition, HHSI previously submitted a list of 11 proposed lots
for development. Due to timing and other circumstances, certain identified
properties are no longer available. HHSI therefore requests approval to
substitute alternate properties, which will be subject to County review and
approval for eligibility and compliance. This modification does not result in
an increase in County funding, and all other terms and conditions of the

Summary: On April 7, 2022, the FDEM announced a
Hazard Mitigation Grant opportunity for communities participating in the
Community Rating System (CRS) program to assist in the development of a
Watershed Master Plan (WMP). The WMP is intended to support floodplain
management planning and help participating communities improve their CRS
ratings. On May 17, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) delegated
authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to submit the grant
application and execute the agreement with FDEM. FDEM executed the agreement on
December 1, 2022, awarding Palm Beach County (PBC) $280,000 for the referenced
project, with a federal reimbursement of 75% for a total reimbursement amount of
$210,000. The Agreement was received and filed on January 10, 2023
(R2023-0017). The original Agreement period was from December 1, 2022, through
September 30, 2023. Due to project delays, several extensions were requested
and approved by FDEM. The first extension extended the Agreement from September
30, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (R2023-1549). A second
extension extended the Agreement to September 30, 2024 (R2024-0253). A third
extension extended the Agreement to December 31, 2024 (R2025-0029). A fourth
extension extended the Agreement to September 30, 2025 (R2025-0817). These
previous extensions have all been received and filed by the BCC. Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) has advised PBC to submit the project deliverables to Insurance Services
Office/Verisk (ISO) for review prior to submitting the final project
documentation. This additional review step requires an additional modification
to the grant agreement extending the project period for deliverables #2. The grant funding will support the
development of a WMP, which is a prerequisite for communities seeking to
achieve a Class 4 or higher rating in the CRS.

1. SUMMARY (cont’d.): The CRS program
allows participating communities to earn significant discounts on flood
insurance premiums for properties insured through the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP). CRS ratings range from Class 1, which provides the highest
level of premium discounts, to Class 10, which provides no discount. PBC
currently maintains a Class 5 CRS rating, which allows eligible policyholders
to receive flood insurance premium discounts of up to 25 percent. Achieving a
Class 4 rating or higher would increase the potential discount to 30 percent or
more. County staff work in coordination with the Emergency Management
Division’s CRS Coordinator and other County agencies to maintain and improve
the County’s CRS rating and maximize potential insurance savings for property
owners in unincorporated PBC. Unincorporated (RM)

most critical wastewater pumping facility within the PBCWUD system, serving as
a primary conveyance point for the central region of Palm Beach County (PBC).
Because of its size and importance, the station must remain in continuous
operation; however, it currently lacks redundancy to allow for maintenance,
emergency response, or major upgrades. To address this limitation and
strengthen system reliability, PBCWUD is undertaking a coordinated program of
improvements involving LS 5229, LS 5236, and LS 5241. The proposed work
includes major structural, mechanical, electrical, and control system upgrades
at LS 5229 to modernize aging infrastructure and improve performance and
resiliency. LS 5236, which is no longer in service, will be fully
decommissioned, with its wet well and dry pit filled, and site utilities
reconfigured to continue supporting the existing odor control system. LS 5241
will be converted into a functional bypass facility capable of handling the
full LS 5229 flow during rehabilitation, providing the redundancy needed for
future maintenance and emergency operations. These improvements will enhance
system capacity, operational flexibility, and long-term reliability of the
County’s wastewater transmission system. This
Project is a shared initiative pursuant to the Interlocal Agreements between
PBC and the City of Lake Worth Beach (R-74-258, R2001-0315 and R2018-1018), to construct, operate, maintain, perform
assessments and cost-sharing provisions for the joint wastewater facilities. This Contract was presented to the Goal

provide sexual assault recovery services; and
B)

Summary: FCASV, acting as the designated pass-through for
state funds on behalf of the Florida Office of the Attorney General (OAG), provides funding to Palm Beach County
Department of Public Safety Division of Victim Services (PSDDVS) through the
award of annual grants to support and enhance sexual assault recovery
services. Through Subcontract #25OAG26,
(CFSA 41.010), PSDDVS will provide comprehensive services to primary and
secondary victims of sexual violence. The Subcontract will be applied retroactively
in accordance with the grant period. Grant-funded services are provided by a
Victim Services Project Coordinator who specializes in post-assault follow-up
care, including coordination of comprehensive medical follow-up and connection
to supportive services. Activities include crisis intervention; advocacy and
accompaniment; information and referral; sexual-violence-specific outreach;
community education; system coordination; and participation in specialized trainings and workgroups, with required documentation of
services. From July 1, 2024, through
June 30, 2025, DVS served 940
new and ongoing victims, providing 11,892
units of service. The Subcontract supports a fraction of the salary and
benefits of the Project Coordinator. The Subcontract includes indemnification
provisions that exceed the standard language approved under PPM CW-F-049,
including requirements related to intellectual property and confidentiality.
The County requested modifications to these provisions; however, the Office of
the Attorney General declined. The County Attorney’s Office and Risk Management
have reviewed the Agreement in full and advised staff accordingly. The County
will not be manufacturing or supplying any copyrighted, patented, or unpatented

DD. TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (cont’d.)
2. Staff recommends motion to:
A)
authorize the Mayor to sign
a letter to Ms. Andrea Virgin, Chair and CEO of The Center for Arts & Innovation, Inc. (Center), terminating the 2024 Cultural Capital Fund Grant Agreement (Grant
Agreement) (R2024-0661), with the County; and
B)
approve a Budget Transfer to Reserves
in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Response Replacement Fund in the amount of $865,000.
Summary: On June 4, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the
Grant Agreement in the amount of
$865,000 to fund certain capital improvements (Capital Improvement) to help offset expenses of the Center’s
larger capital infrastructure project. The Grant Agreement requires
County approval of any proposed
changes to the Capital Improvement. The capital infrastructure project was to be located
in Mizner Park in Downtown Boca Raton, pursuant to a Pre- Construction and Development Agreement executed in 2022 (Development Agreement) between the Center,
the City of Boca Raton (City), and the Boca Raton Community Redevelopment
Agency. On January 8, 2025, the
Center sent the City a notice exercising the Center’s right to terminate the Development Agreement. Therefore, as of
this agenda item, the Center does not have rights to any real property where to construct its capital infrastructure
project. The Center has ceased and/or suspended
and has not completed the Capital Improvement. Pursuant to the Grant Agreement,
on September 25, 2024, the Center
sent the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. (Cultural Council), which manages the Grant
Agreement on behalf of the County, a reimbursement request totaling
$262,716.75 related to the
Capital Improvement. The Cultural Council and County staff have
not processed the reimbursement request, as the Grant Agreement provides, among
other rights, that pursuant to Section 4C, the County, in its sole discretion, is
not obligated to honor reimbursement requests if the Center ceases or suspends
the Capital Improvement.

AGENDA APPROVAL
DD. TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL (cont’d.)
2. SUMMARY (cont’d.): The County has the right to make the
determination that the Center has ceased or suspended the
Capital Improvement, and the Center Agreed to be bound by the County’s
determination, pursuant to the Grant Agreement. Furthermore, Section 4D of the
Grant Agreement provides that the County has the right to withhold
reimbursement if the Capital Improvement is not completed. In addition, Section
25 of the Grant Agreement provides that in the event the Center fails to comply
with the terms of the Grant Agreement, the County (following issuance of a
notice of default) has the right to terminate the Grant Agreement without
further obligation to honor reimbursement requests submitted by the Center.
Upon termination of the Grant Agreement, the Center has an obligation to return
to the County any funds already collected under the Grant Agreement. After
exchanges held with the Center’s representatives, on July 17, 2025, the Center
withdrew its reimbursement request and agreed to terminate the Grant Agreement.
On October 20, 2025, Mr. Emanuel Perry sent a notice of default confirming the
Grant Agreement termination and withdrawal of the reimbursement request. Staff
concurs with the Center’s request to withdraw the reimbursement request and
recommends terminating the Grant Agreement. These are County ARPA Response Replacement funds that do not require a
local match. Countywide (YBH)

A. COMMISSION
ON ETHICS
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve on
preliminary reading and permission to advertise for public hearing on May 5,
2026 at 9:30 a.m.: an Ordinance of the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) of Palm Beach County, Florida, amending Chapter 2, Article
V, Division 8, The Palm Beach County Commission on Ethics (COE) Ordinance, as
amended; amending Section 2-260(a) (Filing of complaints); amending Section
2-260(b) (Legal sufficiency of complaints); amending Section 2-260(d)
(Preliminary investigation and public hearing); amending Section 2-260(g)
(Public records exemption); amending Section 2-260.4 (Frivolous or groundless
complaints); providing for a savings clause; providing for repeal of laws in conflict;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the code of laws and
ordinances; and providing for an effective date. Summary: The BCC adopted the Palm Beach County COE
Ordinance as a countywide Ordinance in May of 2011, in accordance with the
County Charter. The Charter amendments, which were approved by the voters in
November 2010, also called for the establishment of a review committee to
review and recommend proposed changes to the COE Ordinance. In order to
ensure compliance with Senate Bill 7014 (2024), the COE referred this matter to
the ethics review committee, which recommends amendments that would remove the
Executive Director of the COE as an individual authorized to file
self-initiated complaints; prohibit the commission on ethics from
self-initiating a complaint; clarify that complaints must be based on the
complainant’s personal knowledge or on information other than hearsay in order to be found legally sufficient; and
create a provision establishing a process for the recovery of costs and
attorney fees for frivolous or groundless complaints. Countywide

motion to approve on preliminary reading and permission to advertise for
public hearing on May 5, 2026 at 9:30 am:
a School Zone Speed Detection System Ordinance (Ordinance) to allow for
school zone speed detection systems; providing for title; providing for
definitions; providing for intent; providing for supplemental authority;
providing for program administration; providing for locations; providing for
permit requirements; providing for violations and penalties; providing for
uniform traffic citations; providing for distribution of penalties collected;
providing for hearings and appeals; providing for reporting requirements;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and
Ordinances; providing for captions; and providing for an effective date. Summary: Section 125.66, Florida Statutes, authorizes the
Palm Beach County (County) Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to enact
ordinances to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the County’s
citizens. Section 316.008(9)(a), Florida
Statutes, authorizes a county to enforce the applicable speed limit on a
roadway properly maintained as a school zone through the use of a speed
detection system. Section 316.1895,
Florida Statutes, governs the establishment of, enforcement within, and
designation of school speed zones.
Section 316.008(9)(b), Florida Statutes, states that a “county or
municipality may place or install, or contract with a vendor to place or
install, a speed detection system within a roadway maintained as a school
zone,” as provided in section 316.1895, Florida Statutes, to enforce unlawful
speed violations. A county must first
enact an ordinance to authorize the placement or installation of school zone
speed detection system and, as part of the public hearing on such ordinance,
consider traffic data or other evidence supporting installation and operation
of each proposed school zone speed detection system, pursuant to Section
316.008(9)(c), Florida Statutes. Based
on speed study information submitted by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office
(PBSO), the County has determined that there are 40 school zone locations that
constitute a heightened safety risk and warrant additional enforcement
measures, per Section 316.008(9)(c), Florida Statutes. Once the Ordinance is adopted, the County may
contract with one (1) or more vendors to provide program services with costs
covered by penalties assessed and collected. Countywide (YBH)

1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: a
Budget Transfer in the amount of $73,311 from the General Fund Contingency
Reserves to the County Attorney’s Office.
Summary: The County Attorney’s Office seeks approval from the Board of County Commissioenrs Commissioners (BCC) to procure
and implement a fully automated law practice management software system to
replace our internally developed system, which was designed in 1999 and
incrementally updated since then. While the County’s internally developed
system has provided valuable service over time, the complexity and pace of
current legal work require a purpose-built solution developed specifically for
law practice. The proposed software reflects the legal industry’s best
practices and is designed to address the unique workflow of a government law
office and as such will significantly enhance operational efficiency, improve
interdepartmental communication, strengthen risk management capabilities, and
modernize legal service delivery to County departments and the BCC. Countywide

B)
adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) of Palm Beach
County, Florida, amending Resolution R-2016-1921 regarding the Palm Beach
County Infrastructure Surtax Independent Citizen Oversight Committee (Surtax
Committee); revising the Surtax Committee Term Limits; revising the Surtax
Committee attendance requirements; and continuing the Surtax Committee.
Summary: On December 20, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners established the
Surtax Committee through Resolution R2016-1921. The Surtax Committee meets
quarterly, issues an annual report, may make recommendations to the BCC, and
ensures that the proceeds of the Local Government Infrastructure Surtax
(Surtax) are expended for the purposes set forth in the ballot measure and are
in compliance with the County’s Surtax plan. Under Resolution R2025-0508,
Uniform Policies for County Advisory Boards and Committees, committee members
may only serve three (3) terms. This resolution will allow the members of the
Surtax Committee to serve more than three (3) terms. The Surtax ended on
December 31, 2025 but the proceeds from collections
still remain and will take several years to complete all the projects in the
plan. The Surtax Committee will continue to serve until only de minimis Surtax
proceeds remain unspent. De minimis is
defined in Palm Beach County Ordinance No. 2025-008 as one percent (1%) of the
total aggregate distributions of Surtax proceeds as calculated by the
County. Countywide (MWJ)
