SUMMARY: On March 14, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners delegated the authority to execute Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance Agreements (Agreements) to the County Administrator or his designee. The County Administrator has delegated this approval to the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department Director. These Agreements provide property owners with the ability to donate funds to purchase emergency generators for lift stations located within their community. The Department will assign the community its generator(s), locate the generator(s) on-site during hurricane season, and operate and maintain the generator(s) during emergencies. By executing such Agreements, the Department is able to expedite its goal of providing a higher level of emergency response service throughout its service area. Power outages that occur during hurricanes and other emergencies require the Department to operate a system of emergency generators at wastewater pump stations to prevent wastewater from backing up into streets, swales, and residents' homes. Due to the great number of lift stations and limited staffing resources, the Department is not able to place an emergency generator at every lift station. These Agreements will increase the number of generators available to the Department during emergencies. Countywide (MJ)
