1.
Staff recommends motion to approve: a $50,000 Marine Tech Prep Grant Agreement with the Riviera Beach Maritime Academy (RBMA) retroactive from October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007. SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County's Marine Tech Prep Program is in its 9th year of operation. The proposed $50,000 Grant Agreement with the Riviera Beach Maritime Academy, a newly created public charter school, will provide assistance for the development of the Marine Academy Program. During this twelve (12) month Grant Agreement, RBMA will: a) recruit 70 new students for its charter school, which has integrated a complete high school program with a maritime program. The students will receive the training needed to enter the marine industry workforce immediately after graduation; b) organize eight (8) education field trips, and c) organize two (2) classroom projects for students' competition. Countywide (DW)

5.
Staff recommends motion to approve: the Ninth Amendment to the agreement with Integral Systems, Inc. (R93-1549D) dated December 7, 1993, in an amount not-to-exceed $313,750 for an additional two (2) years of software maintenance for personnel/payroll system December 7, 2006 to December 6, 2008. SUMMARY: This Amendment provides for an additional two (2) years of standard HRMS software maintenance for the County's Personnel/Payroll system, Checkwrite I-Trust Web and JES2Mail modules at a cost of $303,500 for the period effective December 7, 2006, through December 6, 2008. Acquisition of the JES2RPL software module, at a cost of $8,750, along with an additional year of maintenance at a cost of $1,500 is required to facilitate the increasing demand for large reports to be separated by department and sent via e-mail to the recipients. JES2RPL is an extension of the existing JES2Mail version of the software, which distributes single reports via e-mail, but is unable to separate and send large reports to multiple departments. JES2RPL will permit these large single reports to be separated and distributed to each department automatically, via e-mail in a PDF format without human intervention, thereby making staff more efficient and providing more timely reports in a neat and professional format. Countywide (PFK)

Staff recommends motion to adopt: Resolution approving revised standard form Airline Service Incentive Program Participation Agreements; authorizing the County Administrator or his designee to execute and make certain amendments to the standard form agreements; repealing Resolution No. R2004-2413; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: The proposed agreement defines a new destination as an airport rather than a city; this allows the County to grant an Incentive for a new non-stop destination to a secondary airport within a destination market. Defining a new destination at the airport level will help foster competition between airlines in certain markets where there is limited service to the primary airport. The proposed agreement also allows the County to grant a lesser incentive to the airline; the current agreement credits an airline's landing fees and gate charges, the revised agreement gives the County discretion to grant landing fees only in cases where the economic impact is deemed lesser. Additionally, the prior agreement has been replaced with two (2) separate agreements to handle Domestic and International flights individually for purposes of clarity. Countywide (LMB)

SUMMARY: On August 17, 2004, the Board approved the contract for the LRWTP Test Production Wells (R2004-1738) with Southeast Drilling Services, Inc. for constructing seven (7) Floridan Aquifer wells.

Sand production is a critical consideration for extending the life of reverse osmosis membrane elements. Reducing the sand production from the wells will also lower operational costs. Change Order No. 3 provides work related to additional drilling, casing, and cement grout for the increased well depths. The contract time is being increased by 121 calendar days to accommodate the additional time required for drilling and casing installation. Total change orders to date, excluding the $129,964.40 Sales Tax Recovery Program Change Order, equals $334,959 (1.107% increase).

Staff recommends motion to approve: Cross Access Agreement with the Village of Royal Palm Beach to reduce the size of the Village's access easement from that previously contained in the warranty deed. SUMMARY: On April 27, 2006, the Village conveyed a parcel of land to the County as part of the purchase and sale of the Village's utility system (R2006-0410).

However, the recorded plat reflects an access area of approximately 60 feet by 140 feet, which is larger than the Village requires. As part of the purchase and sale, the Village and County entered into a transition agreement that provided for the easement to be reduced in size at a future date because time did not permit the preparation and execution of the documents in advance of the closing.

SUMMARY: Florida Administrative Code Section 9J-5.012(3)(b)(8), requires that all Florida coastal jurisdictions provide for the creation of Post Disaster Redevelopment Plans (PDRPs) through the Coastal Management Element of their respective Comprehensive Plans. The County's original PDRP, adopted in 1996, has been totally revamped, rewritten, updated and expanded to be fully compliant with the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, to better adhere to revised state guidelines, and to reflect "best planning practices." The scope and content of the plan have been expanded to address critical issues not addressed in the original document, especially as they relate to catastrophic disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf and to certain multi-jurisdictional issues. The revised PDRP dated August 2006 is intended to serve as a single reference for guiding pre and post disaster actions and decisions necessary to facilitate and expedite long-term recovery, land-use, reconstruction and economic redevelopment and otherwise create a more sustainable, disaster resilient community.

Staff recommends motion to approve: an Agreement with Lakes of Delray, Inc. for provision of transportation service (via Palm Tran Routes 70 and 81) to residents of Lakes of Delray at the per dwelling rate (1,408 units) of $4.30 per month for the period February 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008 and $4.40 per month for the period February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009. SUMMARY: Lakes of Delray, Inc. has contracted for bus service for residents since the inception of the development of Lakes of Delray. The Agreement rate of $4.30 per dwelling unit per month during the first year of the proposed agreement represents a 2.5% increase over the contract for the prior year ending January 31, 2007 and the second year rate of $4.40 per dwelling unit per month represents a 2.5% increase over the first year. Payments of the per unit rates are in lieu of residents paying individual fares into the fareboxes on Palm Tran Routes 70 and 81. The commencement date of this new Agreement is February 1, 2007 and the termination date is January 31, 2009. District 5 (DR)
2. Staff recommends motion to approve:
A)
an Assignment of Interest from the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in a $2.3 Million Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) (No. 23689319401) with State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the development of the Intermodal site, which approval is conditioned upon County's receipt of the fully executed amendment to the JPA revising the project purpose and description; and
B)
Budget Amendment of $2,300,000 in Palm Tran's operating budget to recognize the JPA funds.
SUMMARY: Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) applied for and received an FDOT JPA in the amount of $2,300,000. The JPA is to be used for the Intermodal facility construction in downtown West Palm Beach. Because Palm Tran is responsible for the property and has been actively working with Palm Beach County Facilities Management on the design of the intermodal facility, the MPO feels that it would be more appropriate for the JPA to be administered by Palm Tran.

a Budget Transfer of $56,700 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office for donations to support the safe neighborhood, crime prevention, and drug abuse prevention/education/treatment programs of various non-profit organizations.

Staff recommends motion to approve: an Amendment to the National Institute of Justice "Solving Cold Cases with DNA Program" Cooperative Agreement to extend the grant period from November 30, 2006 to May 31, 2007. SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners previously, on December 20, 2005 (R2005-2439), approved $192,431 for the "Solving Cold Cases with DNA Program". The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) awarded the PBSO an additional $182,330 (R2006-1503) for the "Solving Cold Cases with DNA Program", increasing the total award for the program to $374,761. The objective of this grant is to combine the efforts of the PBSO Special Investigations Bureau, Crimes Against Children/Sexual Assault Unit and the Violent Crimes Bureau 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 (Combined DNA Index System) 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 additional NEPA restricted funds in the amount of $182,330, which were under review, have been made available for spending. However, due to the delay in approval of our required FONSI EA (Finding of No Significant Impact, Environmental Assessments), we are requesting a no-cost 6 month extension. There is no grant match required, nor are any County funds required in FY 2007. Countywide (DW)
