SUMMARY: Palm Beach County receives annual allocations from the State of Florida through the SHIP Program to implement various affordable housing programs and other related activities.

In August of 2005, the CAH Advisory Committee recommended that the additional funds be allocated to the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Purchase Assistance Program to eligible applicants who are experiencing difficulties in financing the increased construction cost associated with the replacement of their dilapidated homes. To effectively serve the special needs, homeowners whose homes are beyond repair, an increase in the maximum award from $20,000 to $50,000 is absolutely imperative. Countywide (TKF)

L. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
1. Staff recommends motion to approve:
A) APPROVED
a waiver of County policy that prohibits the County from paying State costs and attorney’s fees in a dispute; and
B) APPROVED R-2006-2737
a Sovereign Submerged Lands Easement (Easement) granted by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida for offshore sand borrow area for the Ocean Ridge Shore Protection Project, effective September 19, 2005.
SUMMARY: The first renourishment of the Ocean Ridge Shore Protection Project was completed on December 5, 2005. Use of sand from State waters required an Easement. The Easement is subject to the terms of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Consolidated Joint Coastal Permit (JCP), which expires September 19, 2015. The Easement requires that the County pay the State costs of dispute resolution or any related attorney's fees. Although this language is not consistent with County policy outlined in Section “Y” of PPM No. CW-F-049, Contract Development and Contract Responsibility, staff recommends that the Board waive this policy and approve this Easement since the project is complete.
