Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution urging Congress, the Florida Legislature, and the Governor of Florida to protect County authority to require local franchises for the provision of video services within the County, to protect existing cable franchises and the cable franchising authority of the County, and to protect County authority to provide communications services. SUMMARY: There are currently multiple bills pending at both the federal level (H.R. 3146, S. 1349, S. 1504) and in the Florida Legislature (HB 1199, SB 1984) which, if passed into law, will be detrimental to the franchising authority of the County and other local franchising authorities. As currently written, these bills: a) threaten the authority of the County to require franchises for providers of video services by either removing the requirement of obtaining a franchise outright or by removing the County from the franchising process and delegating such authority to the state or federal level; b) threaten the authority of the County to provide communications services; and c) threaten the effectiveness of current cable television franchises issued by the County. This Resolution sets forth the County's opposition to all such legislation at the federal level and state level, and urges members of Congress, members of the Florida Legislature, and the Governor of the State of Florida to oppose all such legislation and to protect the County's authority to require franchises for the provision of video services and also to protect the County's authority to provide communications services.

Therefore, with the additional $300,000 in capital costs expected, the total expenditures estimated for FY 2005-2006 is $2,400,000. An additional $280,000 is estimated for operation and maintenance in FY 2006-2007 for the newly proposed projects, bringing the ongoing future operating expenses to $2,380,000.

(R2004-1552) in the amount of $6,983.21, which also provides for a 106 day time extension for the construction of restrooms at Lake Ida and Haverhill Parks.

Staff recommends motion to approve: a Drainage Agreement with Closter Farms, Inc., for excess water drainage services for Palm Beach County Glades Airport located on State Highway 715 in Pahokee. SUMMARY: The Department of Airports (DOA) manages the 243-acre Glades Airport (Airport) located on State Highway 715 in Pahokee. Closter Farms currently leases farm land adjacent to the Airport, pursuant to a Lease Agreement with the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida (BOT). Excess water drains from the Airport onto Closter's farm land and is currently operating under a Drainage Agreement that was approved in 1996 by the Purchasing Department and expires on April 30, 2006. This new Drainage Agreement will allow Closter Farms to continue providing the necessary drainage services for a term of five (5) years, effective May 1, 2006 and expiring on April 30, 2011. There is one (1) renewal option, which would extend the term until April 1, 2015, to coincide with the expiration date of the Lease between Closter Farms and the BOT.

B)
approve a Third Amendment to Lease Agreement (R99-842D) with Theodore W. Winsberg and Gertrude K. Winsberg for the continued use of property located on Hagan Ranch Road, Boynton Beach.
SUMMARY: In 1996, the Board approved the purchase of 175 acres from the Winsberg's which was to be acquired in phases and was completed in 2000. The property is located off Hagen Ranch Road between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard and was purchased for development of the Green Cay Wetlands Water Reclamation Facility. The Real Estate Purchase and Sales Contract (R96-1547D) granted the Winsbergs the right to lease back the property for farming until such time as the County was prepared to begin the improvements. The construction of Phase II of the Green Cay Wetlands Restoration Project has been delayed. Additionally, in 2005 the County identified a portion of the property for construction of Fire Station No. 22 and the Winsbergs have agreed to reduce the lease premises by approximately two (2) acres in order to accommodate this development as reflected in the substitute Exhibit "B" to this Third Amendment. The County is generally required to bid leases of County-owned property. However, staff recommends the extension because existing deed restrictions preclude the County from leasing the property to others and the lease-back was offered as part of the consideration in the Purchase and Sales Contract. The initial term of the Lease expired on May 1, 2001. Subsequent amendments have been approved by the Board and the Second Amendment expires on May 1, 2006. This Third Amendment will extend the term for two (2) years from April 30, 2006, through May 1, 2008. The annual rental rate for the this Third Amendment will continue to be $1 per year. All other terms of the Lease Agreement remain in full force and effect. (PREM) District 5 (HJF)

Staff recommends motion to approve: a Reclaimed Water Agreement with Branch Banking and Trust Company. SUMMARY: Reclaimed water agreements are required for property owners requesting reclaimed water service from the County to comply with the requirements of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Water Utilities Department (Department). While the Department normally utilizes standard reclaimed water agreements that are executed at the Department level, non-standard agreements are sometimes required to handle special circumstances. Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) has agreed to install an oversized reclaimed water pipeline and connect to the existing reclaimed water main on Hagen Ranch Road. The Department has agreed to pay BB&T the lesser of $56,006.12 [previously paid to the Department under an agreement with Boynton Beach Associates, Inc. (BBA), approved by the Board on June 22, 2004 (R2004-1451)] or BB&T's actual construction costs. The $56,006.12 paid by BBA was a contribution towards construction of the same reclaimed water main, which has not yet been installed by the Department. District 5 (MJ)

Sullivan Corporation (R2003-1910) for the Pump Station 5229 and Southern Region Water Reclamation Facility 5 MGD Upgrade Project, decreasing the contract price by $27,203 and providing a 112-day time extension. SUMMARY: On November 18, 2003, the Board approved a contract with R.J. Sullivan in the amount of $14,870,020. Change Order No. 9 authorizes the contractor to perform driveway modifications as required by the Building Department, provide knox boxes as required by the Fire Marshall, and credit the balance remaining in the contract allowances bid item. Since the contractor's schedule will not enable him to earn the early completion bonus for the project, he has agreed to eliminate the potential bonus, resulting in a $30,000 reduction in the contract price. Staff recommends a 112 calendar day time extension to the Stage 3 Substantial and Final Completion dates for delays associated with Pump Station 5229 start-up coordination and Hurricane Wilma. Total change orders to date, excluding the $5,546,980 sales tax recovery program change order, equal $463,469.75 (3.12% increase). The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal established by the SBE Ordinance is 15.0% overall. This Change Order includes zero overall SBE participation.
