A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in 0.30 acres of surplus property to the City of South Bay without charge and with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration; and

B) approve a County Deed in favor of the City of South Bay.

SUMMARY: The City of South Bay has requested the conveyance of an improved parcel of County-owned surplus property acquired by tax deed in June 2004. The 0.30 acre parcel is located at 480 U.S. Highway 27 North within the City’s municipal boundaries and is improved with a commercial structure with an assessed value of $51,849. Section 197.592(3), F.S., requires the conveyance of surplus property acquired by tax deed to the municipality in which it is located. The property has existing environmental contamination which the City intends to clean up. The City proposes to sell the property to foster community development and to stimulate economic growth. Although staff is currently revisiting the program to convey residential parcels to the municipalities in light of the affordable housing issues, this parcel is commercial in nature. Staff believes that this property will be more appropriately developed, managed and maintained by the City. This conveyance will relieve the County of potential liability for occurrences on this property and also the cost of continued maintenance. The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Section 270.11, F.S., without rights of entry and exploration. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

19. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Utility Easement Agreement in favor of Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) for electrical service in connection with modifications and upgrades to Juno Park, on Ellison Wilson Road in Juno Beach.

The Park is located on Ellison Wilson Road, north of PGA Boulevard in Juno Beach. Initial plans provided for FPL’s delivery of service to terminate within that easement area with the County being responsible for connection to the improvements. Subsequent to the Board’s December 2005 approval, the design was modified, which is more cost effective, and will allow FPL to install their lines underground to a transformer located closer to the improvements and requires this additional easement area. The easement area is 10' x 750', for a total area of 7,612.53 square feet (0.1748 acres) and runs from the existing easement area to the restroom and concession building. The easement is non-exclusive and is being granted to FPL at no charge, as it will provide electrical service to County facilities and is required as a condition of service. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

23. Staff recommends motion to:

A) adopt a Resolution authorizing the conveyance of the County’s interest in three (3) properties, totaling 0.49 acres of land, to the City of Belle Glade without charge and with reservation of mineral and petroleum rights, but without rights of entry and exploration; and

B) approve three (3) County Deeds in favor of the City of Belle Glade.

SUMMARY: The City of Belle Glade has requested the conveyance of three (3) improved parcels of County-owned surplus property located within its jurisdiction which the County acquired by tax deed within the past two (2) years. The properties are located at: (i) 419 SW Avenue C (.10 acres), improved with an occupied apartment complex; (ii) 722 SW Avenue E (.14 acres), improved with an unoccupied two (2) story commercial structure; and (iii) 654 SW Avenue E (.25 acres), previously operated as a gas station with underground fuel storage tanks which were removed in 1997 and which has existing environmental contamination. The total assessed value of these parcels is $119,013 and contains 0.49 acres. Florida Statutes Section 197.592(3) requires the conveyance of surplus property acquired by tax deed to the municipality in which it is located. The subject parcels have been declared surplus as they serve no present or future County purpose. Staff believes that these properties will be more appropriately developed, managed and maintained by the City. The conveyance of surplus property to the municipality in which it is located is a major element of PREM’s disposition program adopted by the Board upon the recommendation of the Real Estate Assets Task Force. These conveyances will relieve the County of potential liability for occurrences on the properties and also the cost of continued maintenance. The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. Staff is currently revisiting the program to convey residential parcels to the municipalities in light of the affordable housing issues. The County Deeds for the .14 acre and .25 acre parcels reserve future right-of-way for the widening of SW Avenue E, as provided for in the County’s Comprehensive Plan. (PREM) District 6 (HJF)

The agreement provides for one (1) - five (5) year renewal but renewals require approval by both parties. State Attorney’s Office has approved a renewal to extend the term of the agreement until March 16, 2012. The renewal now requires Board approval. The County does not require any additional staffing and/or equipment to extend this Agreement, and as such, this Agreement will result in increased revenues to Fleet Management.

SUMMARY: The Budget Transfer in the Information Technology Capital Improvement Fund to cover project construction costs relating to a redundant fiber path between the two Vista Center projects and other telephone and data system enhancements at the two projects. The Budget Transfer within the 94.3 M NAV Public Improvement Fund reallocates funds between three of the four projects funded by this bond to reflect the updated project estimates. The increase to the Vista Office building project is due to increased utility connection charges and the correction of a previous transfer of funds out of the project and not to unforeseen changes or user modifications.

27. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Utility Easement in favor of BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. (BellSouth), for communication services at the King’s Academy Campus at 4215 Cherry Road, West Palm Beach. SUMMARY: Several County departments and constitutional offices occupy the King’s Academy Campus, at 4215 Cherry Road, West Palm Beach. A portion of the campus is being renovated to install a phone bank and absentee ballot call center for the Supervisor of Elections (SOE).

28. Staff recommends motion to accept: a Modification of Restrictive Covenants on 2.12 acres of County owned property in unincorporated Boynton Beach. SUMMARY: The County acquired approximately 53 acres of vacant land located in Boynton Beach from Theodore W. Winsberg and Gertrude K. Winsberg on June 23, 1999. The property was purchased for development of the Green Cay Wetlands water reclamation facility. The Special Warranty Deed With Restrictive Covenants conveying the property to the County restricted the use of the property for a wetland treatment and/or groundwater recharge facility only. In 2005, the County identified a portion of the property, located along the southern boundary of Flavor Pict Road, west of Jog Road, for construction of Fire Station No. 22. The Winsbergs have agreed to modify the existing restrictive covenants to permit governmental uses on 2.12 acres which will allow for construction of the fire station. The Winsbergs have agreed to modify the restrictive covenants at no charge. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

29. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) in favor of the City of Lake Worth across a portion of John Prince Memorial Park. SUMMARY: The City of Lake Worth has requested a Temporary Construction Easement to construct a pipeline through a portion of the John Prince Memorial Park to enable it to connect its Floridan Aquifer Raw Water Well F-2 to public rights-of- way and ultimately to the City’s water treatment plant. The well is located on City property east of Lake Osborne Drive between Lake Worth Road and 6^th Avenue South. The easement area, located on Park property, is approximately 40 feet wide and 743.86 feet long, for a total area of 29,754.51 square feet (0.68 acres), running west of and adjacent to the west right-of-way line of Lake Osborne Drive. The TCE will automatically terminate upon the completion of the project, but no later than one (1) year from its effective date. The installation of the pipeline is a portion of a larger project whereby the City will be crediting approximately $200,000 for the benefit of the Parks and Recreation Department to use toward future connection fees. Therefore, the TCE will be granted to the City at no charge. The Parks and Recreation Department has reviewed and approved the location of the easement area. The City’s approval of this easement is scheduled for consideration concurrently with the County’s approval. (PREM) District 3 (JMB)

30. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Budget Amendment in the amount of $1,400,000 in the Fleet Management Fund recognizing revenues received from user departments and increasing the fuel budget lines. SUMMARY: This Amendment is needed to increase the fuel expense accounts to cover anticipated fuel costs through the end of the fiscal year. The increase is necessary due to two factors; i) the FY 06 budget assumed $2.15/gallon when pricing has been substantially higher than that (in July average cost was $2.65/gallon and now unleaded is $2.875/gallon); and ii) increased consumption. Last year’s consumption was 320,000 gallons/month and consumption this year has averaged 350,000 gallons/month which includes PBSO, Fire Rescue and all general government fuel usage.

SUMMARY: All CDBG funded projects approved via the Annual Consolidated Plan on July 12, 2005 (R2005-1384), must comply with 24 CFR Part 58, which establishes regulations concerning the environmental review procedures for the CDBG Program. Under these regulations, the County is required to: 1) aggregate, either geographically or functionally, all activities into projects; 2) determine which projects are in need of an environmental assessment and, where applicable, issue an environmental clearance finding; 3) publish the finding to receive public input; and 4) request release of funds from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Steps 1 through 3 have been finalized for the above referenced project. Execution of the RROF and its submission to HUD will accomplish Step 4. The RROF form documents and certifies that all steps have been taken with respect to HUD’s environmental procedures. Before expending any CDBG funds for these activities, the County must receive a notification from HUD of the release of funds. Countywide (TKF)

(R2005-2072) for the Northern Region Utility Improvement Project Phase 2B decreasing the contract price by $39,191.93 and providing a 15-day time extension. SUMMARY: On October 18, 2005, the Board approved a contract with Garney Companies, Inc. in the amount of $13,627,020 for construction of various sizes of water and force mains and related appurtenances along North Road, Okeechobee Boulevard, Southern Boulevard, and Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road. Change Order No. 4 will authorize the Contractor to reshape and sod an embankment along Southern Boulevard as required by the Florida Department of Transportation; furnish and install water and force main connections at Lion Country Safari; and repair a damaged electrical service at the Loxahatchee Grove Park. The Contractor has agreed to provide the County with a credit for deleting 24 air release valves and the jack-and-bore road crossing method. The valves are no longer required because the future drainage crossings were redesigned to eliminate utility conflicts. The Contractor has received a permit from Palm Beach County Engineering to cross Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road, along Southern Boulevard, using the open-cut method instead of jack-and-boring techniques. The Contractor has requested a 15-day time extension to compensate him for time spent performing the embankment improvements and road crossing at Southern Boulevard and Seminole Pratt-Whitney Road. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance is 15.00% overall. This Change Order includes zero SBE participation.

3. Staff recommends motion to approve: the First Amendment to a Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement with Centex Homes. SUMMARY: On April 27, 2004, the County entered into a Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (DA No.01-01139-000) with Fairways East Corporation for reservation of potable water and wastewater capacity. Centex Homes (Centex) subsequently purchased the property and assumed all rights, duties, and responsibilities of the Agreement. During the site plan approval process, it was determined that the County’s existing potable water main is in conflict with the proposed new development. Under the terms of this Amendment, Centex will pay the County to construct a new water main, install new service lines to the 19 residential customers served off the existing main, and provide fire hydrants along the new water main. After the new water main is placed into service, Centex will abandon the existing water main and indemnify the County for any liability related to the abandonment work. The new water main will be constructed using the Department’s Utility Continuing Construction Contract under a future work authorization having an estimated value of $116,917.64. As a show of support for this proposed Amendment, Centex has fully pre-paid the County for this cost. District 2 (MJ)

The objective of this grant is to combine the efforts of the PBSO Special Investigations Bureau, Crimes Against Children/Sexual Assault Unit with the Violent Crimes Bureau in conjunction with the experience of the Serology/DNA Section of the Crime Laboratory to solve cold cases. The goal of this proposal is to screen all of the cold cases for potential biological evidence for the purpose of conducting DNA analysis such that the laboratory CODIS administrator will enter any qualifying DNA profile into CODIS. It is estimated that there are approximately 250 cold cases from the Crimes Against Children/Sexual Assault Unit and Violent Crimes Bureaus, of which 85 may meet the criteria set forth by this grant. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office has been permitted to spend $192,431 for the specified activities which are separate and distinct from the activities that require review pursuant to the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA).

The funds are requested to aid qualified organizations that meet the requirements set forth in F.S. 932.7055. The PBSO’s support of these programs exemplifies its strong commitment to the prevention and reduction of crime throughout the communities it serves and its desire to put money back into these communities to support organizations that provide such services. Approval of this request will reduce the State Law Enforcement Trust Fund balance to $282,940. The Sheriff’s Office certifies that the use of these funds is in accordance with F.S. 932.7055.

A. ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS

1. Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) the County’s takeover of maintenance of conditionally-imposed median beautification that has been installed by developers pursuant to conditions of approval ONLY in unincorporated area medians of thoroughfare roadways that are otherwise maintained by the County’s “Trees Only” and OTIS programs as per map;

B) staff to prepare a Resolution which will relieve those responsible for conditionally-imposed median landscape of further obligations related to landscape if they are eligible under these guidelines and if they choose to turn over the maintenance to the County;

C) staff to proceed with notification to those responsible for the maintenance of existing conditionally-imposed median landscape of this action;

D) staff to note in the County’s records that affected median landscape conditions of approval have been satisfied; and

E) staff to notify those responsible for unimplemented median landscape conditions, that those conditions have been modified by this action to allow only the “Cash-Out” option, consistent with the implementation time frames established in their condition(s) of approval.

SUMMARY: This provides for the County’s takeover of the maintenance of unincorporated area thoroughfare median landscape that was installed pursuant to conditions of approval only on roadway segments that are currently maintained by the County under its “Trees Only” and “OTIS” Programs. This includes converting such permit areas to either “Trees Only” or OTIS Programs. Payment amounts for the installation of required median landscape shall be consistent with the OTIS “Cash-Out” payment schedule that is currently in effect. The Florida Department of Transportation and several homeowners’ groups have requested that the County take this action. The estimated cost for the County to add the maintenance of these permit areas to the already maintained “Trees Only” and OTIS road segments is $100,000 - $150,000 per year. Historically, there has been a need for staff to pursue those responsible for the maintenance of such landscape, due to recurring poor maintenance. These actions have been both time-intensive and have had to be repeated, resulting in the need for Code Enforcement actions. Countywide (MRE)

B. OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & BUDGET

1. Staff requests Board direction: regarding ad valorem tax deferrals for working waterfronts. SUMMARY: In 2005, the Florida Legislature enacted F.S. 197.303 authorizing counties and municipalities to allow ad valorem tax deferrals for recreational and commercial working waterfronts if the owners are engaging in the operation, rehabilitation, or renovation of such properties. The tax deferral must be authorized by ordinance and would apply only to taxes levied by the government granting the deferral, i.e., the Board of County Commissioners. The deferred taxes would accrue interest at a rate calculated pursuant to Statute, but may not exceed 9.5% per year. At the request of the marine industry, the Board considered the matter on May 16, 2006 and requested staff to evaluate the potential impact of the program if taxes were deferred on property in a CRA. Staff has determined that approval of a deferral would not reduce our required CRA payment to cities even though we would not be receiving taxes from the property owner. Countywide (PFK)

3. Staff requests Board direction: reestablishing an exemption in the Occupational Licensing Ordinance for licensed professionals serving under the direct supervision of another person. SUMMARY: When the County Commission amended the Occupational License Ordinance in 2005, it removed an exemption that applied to licensed professionals who served under the direct supervision of another person. This action made our Ordinance consistent with the Local Occupational License Tax Act, under Florida Statutes. Real estate salespersons in Palm Beach County have historically benefitted from this exemption, and have requested that the exemption be reestablished. Countywide (LB)

SUMMARY: In 2002, County voters approved a $50 Million Recreational and Cultural General Obligation Bond Referendum, including $5 million for the City of Lake Worth’s redevelopment of its municipal beach. In an effort to encourage the City to reach agreement on a redevelopment approach, the Board established a deadline of May 12, 2006, for the City to submit definitive plans to move this project forward. The Board later extended the deadline to July 31, 2006, at the request of the City. On July 27, 2006, the City Commission approved business terms for a beach redevelopment project with Greater Bay Group, LLC. Attorneys for the City and the developer are preparing a development agreement and land lease and City staff expect to present the documents to the City Commission on September 5, 2006. County staff are meeting with the City and evaluating the redevelopment project and the proposed use of the bond funds to determine if the use is consistent with Board direction and bond covenants. If an acceptable project scope for the County bond funds is identified, an interlocal agreement between the City and the County can be prepared and presented to the Board in a subsequent Board item. However, since the City has failed to meet the deadline established by the Board, staff is requesting Board direction regarding this matter. Districts 3 & 7 (PFK)

63 6G-1 ADD-ON: Staff requests Board direction: on the use of Agricultural Reserve lease proceeds for grant funding for four (4) value adding agricultural projects totaling up to $1,139,114. SUMMARY: These grant requests are for projects from long established Palm Beach County farming enterprises and represent a total of $33,911,379 in recent capital investments, with an anticipated 200 new full time positions. This request conforms to the Agricultural Reserve Master Plan; possible use of lease proceeds. From March through June 2005, four (4) separate projects were brought before the Agricultural Enhancement Council (AEC) requesting funds for value added agricultural projects to build or expand vegetable packing plants. The Agricultural Enhancement Council (AEC) voted recommending these projects and suggesting staff pursue funding opportunities with County Administration. These jobs do not meet the criteria for traditional job growth grants. It has now been determined that Agricultural Reserve lease back funds are an allowable use for this type of grant under the restructured Agricultural Reserve bond. Countywide (AH) (Cooperative Extension)

63 6H-1 ADD-ON:

Staff recommends motion to approve:

A) an Estoppel Certificate, Agreement and Consent to Leasehold Mortgage (Agreement) with Textron Financial Corporation and Trump International Golf Club II, L.C. (Trump) for the 9-hole golf course located at the southeast corner of Kirk Road and Gun Club Road in West Palm Beach; and

B) a Memorandum of Development Lease Agreement to be recorded in the public records to provide notice of the Lease.

SUMMARY: On July 23, 2002, the Board approved the Development Lease Agreement (R2002-1231) (Lease) with Trump whereby Trump leases approximately 62 acres of County-owned land located at the southeast corner of Kirk Road and Gun Club Road in unincorporated West Palm Beach. The Lease allows Trump to mortgage its interest in the leasehold. Trump’s lender, Textron Financial Corporation, in conjunction with a loan modification, has requested the attached Agreement be executed by all parties. This Agreement confirms factual matters of the Lease and provides certain protections to the lender should Trump default on the Lease. This Agreement is essentially identical to the Agreement previously approved by the Board for the 18-hole golf course (R99-1098D). The lender is requiring execution of this Agreement as a condition of modifying its loan to Trump. (PREM) District 2 (LMB) (FD & O)

63 6I-1 TIME CERTAIN 10:30 A.M.

ADD-ON: Staff requests Board direction: regarding the request of the Business Development Board to provide a local match requirement to the State of Florida for incentives: a) Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, Inc. (The Institute) a non-profit public benefit corporation to relocate to Boca Raton in the amount of $21,000,000 over a three year period at $7,000,000 annually; and b) IBM/Scripps partnership to create a core site containing the world’s fastest supercomputer to perform advanced research on pandemic viruses in the amount of $9,000,000. SUMMARY: The Institute is currently located in San Diego, California at a staffing level of nearly 80 scientists, post doctoral researchers, technicians and administrative support specialist. The Institute has a current operating budget of approximately $9,000,000 and occupies nearly 30,000 sq. ft. of wet laboratory space and 9,000 sq. ft of office space, an estimated 21,000 sq. ft. of shared space ( i.e., conference rooms, reception areas, security stations, etc.) for a total of approximately 60,000 sq. ft. The Institute is looking to expand in Boca Raton with state and local incentives. The original local request of Palm Beach County was $37,000,000 and Boca Raton’s contribution included ten (10) acres of land valued at $10,000,000 plus 15,000 sq. ft. of leased temporary space. After further discussions the request of Palm Beach County was reduced to $21,000,000 to be allocated over a three year period at $7,000,000 per year. The State will match dollar for dollar of all local funding for this project. This investment will yield 174 newly created positions and 15 relocated positions for a total of 189 positions over a ten year period with an average salary of $56,600. In addition, a permanent 100,000 sq. ft. building would be constructed, of which 15,000 sq. ft. is allocated for incubator space. The cost to construct the building is estimated at $25,000,000. If the company fails to create the agreed upon jobs, they have offered to convey the building to Palm Beach County. City of Boca Raton will address the disposal of the land if the goal is not accomplished. The Institute further offered to create outreach programs specifically for high school science teachers and students, as well as internship programs for college students and to encourage and actively support the creation of spin-offs. IBM and The Scripps Research Institute Institutional Consortium was created on February 16, 2006 and will function as a for profit company. This collaborative initiative will conduct advanced research on pandemic viruses utilizing talent and technology from both companies. This effort will create a proactive approach to address the imminent threat from the avian flu and future emerging infectious diseases resulting in Palm Beach County and the State of Florida being propelled to international attention. IBM is the grant applicant and has requested $9,000,000 from the County to match State funding of $9,000,000.

IBM/Scripps has also applied for a $526,000,000 grant from the federal government for this project. If funded, the project will establish a core site containing the world’s fastest supercomputer that will revolutionize research on Avian Influenza and other infectious diseases. A Center of Excellence will be established and its knowledge and expertise will be made available to other institutions in the county and state, thereby benefitting the state’s science education community. This project will yield 24 jobs at an average salary of $97,800 for IBM and 18 jobs at an average salary of $61,000 for Scripps over 5 years. IBM/Scripps have pledged to promote outreach programs for community relations, education and collaboration. Countywide (DW) (Adm)
