• APPROVED WITH DIRECTION R-2006-0137

Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to an Agreement with the Department of Health of the State of Florida and the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund (R2001-0587) pertaining to the capital funding for the proposed Palm Beach County Health Department Administration Building. SUMMARY: On April 17, 2001, the Board approved an Agreement with the Department of Health and Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund (Board of Trustees) providing for the donation of 7 acres of land at the County's 45^th Street complex for the construction of a new clinic. Included in that Agreement was an obligation of the County to contribute $1,300,000 to the future construction of an Administration Building. This Amendment increases the capital contribution to the new facilities by $6,800,000 for a total contribution of $8,100,000. The County's obligation to fund the $8,100,000 is not contingent on the Administration Building being constructed on any one particular site. The County will transfer the funding within 30 days of the Health Department/State executing a contract for the construction of the new facilities. At that time, the County will have no further capital funding or maintenance obligations at the new Health Department facility. In addition, once the Health Department occupies the new facility, the existing facilities and land located on both sides of Evernia Street will be the County's to use or dispose of as it chooses. Upon approval by the Board, this Amendment will need to be transmitted to the State for execution by the Board of Trustees. (FDO Admin) Countywide/District 7 (JM)

E. HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

• APPROVED

Staff recommends motion to approve: a single special Payment in the amount of $13,882.43 to the Community Financing Consortium (CFC) for services rendered in support of the Countywide Universal Housing Trust Fund and Officer Next Door Program. SUMMARY: The CFC serves as the loan originator for the Countywide Universal Housing Trust Fund and Officer Next Door housing programs. This Organization received, screened, processed and closed numerous applications for each of the aforementioned programs over the past two years. However, due to the diminishing affordable housing in Palm Beach County, many applicants cannot find a home within their price range. Therefore, these loan origination fees, which would normally be paid at closing, have been delayed, and require this unusual process until the house can be located and closing effectuated. Countywide (TKF)

2. Staff recommends motion to:

• APPROVED R-2006-0139

approve a Blanket Assignment of Mortgages transferring certain mortgage loans to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation;

• AUTHORIZED

authorize the County Administrator, or his designee, to endorse, in favor of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, the original promissory notes associated with the mortgages being transferred; and

• AUTHORIZED

authorize payment of eighty two-thousand nine-hundred fifty-six dollars ($82,956) to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, representing amounts received on behalf of the State of Florida as payoffs for certain mortgages.

SUMMARY: The Blanket Assignment of Mortgages will transfer all of Palm Beach County's rights, titles and interests in, to, and under thirty (30) mortgages. These mortgages were taken by Palm Beach County in exchange for funding made to homeowners through a first-time homebuyer program funded by the State of Florida. The program called Restoring Our Neighborhoods, was created under the HOME Investment Partnership Act of 1990, and was implemented based on an agreement with the Florida Housing Finance Agency (now known as the Florida Housing Finance Corporation). The thirty (30) mortgages were made in favor of Palm Beach County when they should have been made in favor of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. Upon execution of the Blanket Assignment of Mortgages, the County's obligation will be fulfilled under its agreement and correct this discrepancy. The endorsement of the promissory notes secured by these mortgages will complete the transfer transaction. The payment of the eighty two-thousand nine-hundred fifty-six dollars ($82,956), that the County received for paid-off mortgages, is being paid to Florida Housing Finance Corporation in lieu of transferring the subject mortgages, since such transfer is no longer possible.
