APPROVED 4-7-98 MOTION to approve the contracts. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner McCarty. Commissioner Roberts stated that she pulled the item to have staff explain the progress of the Year 2000 remediation project, and the reasons for the many changes to the budget. Steve Bordelon, Director of Information Systems Services (ISS), reported that Compunnel was initially hired January, 1997, under a project management contract to provide contract programmers. In November, 1997, ISS requested additional staff for time-limited positions and contract positions. Currently, ISS was seven weeks ahead of schedule for the Year 2000 remediation project, and within the budget for FY 1998. Mr. Bordelon said that ISS was now involved with other County departments preparing funding requests for next year's budget process. Funding requirements for approximately $1 Million had been identified for FY 1999, in addition to $1.5 Million in this year's budget. Mr. Bordelon said that these additional monies would completely fund the Year 2000 remediation project, which was substantially less than the $5 Million originally projected. Commissioner McCarty suggested a quarterly update to the Board from Information Systems Services on the status of the Year 2000 remediation project. Mr. Bordelon said he would give verbal reports periodically and written monthly status reports to the Board. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-0. Commissioner Aaronson absent.

Commissioners Foster and McCarty discussed adding a fifth company to the list, but they decided to support staff's recommendation of the top four rated firms.

TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. DISCUSSED 4-7-98 Mr. Newell distributed a letter from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC). The letter stated the TCRPC would not continue to pursue its designation as a Regional Economic Development District (EDD). Designation as an EDD required the participation of at least three of the four member counties: Indian River County and St. Lucie County decided not to support the program which eliminated Palm Beach County from the Regional plan and affected the County's qualifying ability for getting Federal grants. Mr. Newell requested Deputy County Administrator Patrick Miller draft letters to the other counties indicating concern about the lack of support for the County and its economic development programs. Commissioners Lee and Roberts agreed with the concerns. Commissioner McCarty questioned the cost to the County and if the County would be better off joining the South Florida Regional Council. William Wilkins, Assistant County Administrator, said that a cost analysis was not yet completed. Commissioner Marcus suggested the County work with Indian River and St. Lucie counties and to coordinate discussion with the staff of the Overall Economic Development Program council. Mr. Miller agreed to draft the letters. 9.B.4. FEDERAL PROGRAM ESTABLISHED WITH DELEGATION AND FEDERAL LOBBYISTS. DISCUSSED 4-7-98 Commissioner Newell suggested setting up an annual delegation meeting with Federal Congressmen to discuss issues of monies allocated to specific County projects, superseding priorities that had been established by elected officials throughout the County. Ms. McCarty suggested meeting with the Congressional staff would be easier than with officials because of scheduling conflicts. Commissioner Lee will request County Attorney Dytrych to schedule a meeting with the Congressional officers and suggested the item also go to the Metropolitan Planning Organization for discussion. Commissioner Newell said he would bring the matter up at the next Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting. No backup submitted. 9.C. COMMISSIONER MARY MCCARTY 9.C.1. MEMORANDUM REGARDING EAST CENTRAL REGIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT (ECR) AND THE PENSION FUND CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH. DISCUSSED 4-7-98 Commissioner McCarty questioned the status of a request dated October 1997, for an audit of West Palm Beach pension fund buy-off funds to make sure the East Central Region gets any due share. Commissioner Newell said he had investigated the issues, and had directed a letter to West Palm Beach Mayor Nancy M. Graham asking for her involvement to allow the County access to the books to determine if any monies are owed to County. Mr. Newell expected to get a response with a few days, and said he would keep the Board informed. No backup submitted. 9.C.2. JOINT COMMITTEE TO INCREASE COUNTY GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY. DISCUSSED 4-7-98 Commissioner McCarty said that at the last meeting of the Joint Committee to Increase County Government Efficiency, the fees in the Constitutional Officers budget were discussed. The amount of budgets differ greatly; Clerk of the Circuit Court has a $13 Million fee budget. The details of expenditures of the budget were not made available, according to the Committee. She said the committee felt that it would be helpful for the Board to know what is being spent in the fee-based budget before funds are added to Constitutional Officers' budgets from the advalorem money. The Committee sent a letter April 6, 1998, recommending the County look at the fees of the Constitutional officers, beginning with the largest fee budget, to assure that taxpayers get some accountability as to how those fees are spent. Ms. McCarty requested that the Board direct the staff to meet with auditor Arthur Andersen to discuss looking into the fee-Based budget beginning with the Clerk. No objection was made. Deputy County Administrator Miller will meet with Mr. Andersen to discuss pursuing that issue. No backup submitted. 9.C.3. WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS HILLCREST GOLF ISSUE. DISCUSSED 4-7-98 Commissioner McCarty suggested a workshop on the proposed Hillcrest golf course project. Commissioner's Lee, McCarty, and Roberts agreed. Ms. McCarty suggested that any activity regarding the golf course cease until the workshop. Staff agreed to notify the proposers, and stated that throughout the process it was made clear that nothing was final until the Board approved the contract. The Commissioner's agreed that a workshop is needed and agreed on 10:30 a.m., April 28, 1998. Staff agreed to notify the proposers, the West Palm Beach City Commissioners and the Parks and Recreation Department of the meeting. No backup submitted. TIME CERTAIN - 11:00 A.M. 5.F.1. RESOLUTION R-98-504 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PROMISSORY NOTE OF UP TO $2.8 MILLION TO FINANCE THE COST OF VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE; PROVIDING THAT SUCH NOTE SHALL NOT BE A GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE COUNTY, BUT PAYABLE FROM APPROPRIATED FUNDS AS PROVIDED HEREIN. ADOPTED 4-7-98 MOTION to adopt the resolution. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Marcus and carried 6-0. Commissioner Aaronson absent. Staff commented that on March 24, 1998, the Board passed a Resolution for the general obligation refunding bonds and appointed Smith Barney to be lead underwriter. Clark Bennett, financial advisor to the County, stated that on April 6, 1998, $45,290,000 worth of General Obligation refunding bonds were sold. The savings to the County were $1,742,700, which was a 4.8 percent net present value saving. The true interest cost on this transaction was 4.59 percent, a very successful and profitable refunding for the County, he stated. No backup submitted. 9.D. COMMISSIONER KEN L. FOSTER 9.D.1. STAFF AND SVERDRUP CORPORATION FINISHED NON-BINDING ARBITRATION. DIRECTION 4-7-98 Commissioner Foster said Staff and Sverdrup Corporation finished their non-binding arbitration with the attorney. There is now a period of 10 days in which either party can come to the table with a settlement agreement. Assistant County Attorney Jim Mize and County Administrator Weisman participated in that hearing. Commissioner Foster said that since neither Mr. Weisman nor Mr. Mize were available the entire week, it might be appropriate to request an extension of that 10-day period, in case there was a resolution of the issue to be discussed.
MOTION to extend settlement option period until April 22, 1998. Motion by Commissioner Foster and seconded by Commissioner McCarty. County Attorney Dytrych suggested that the Board direct staff to do whatever is necessary and not be locked into a date. Commissioner Foster said staff would need to bring any resolution issue to the Board for approval and would have had to do that by today's meeting. Commissioners Marcus and McCarty agreed the motion should be made without a time limit. AMENDED MOTION to allow staff to extend the settlement date option period to the County's best interest. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for the vote, the motion carried 6-0, Commissioner Aaronson absent.
No backup submitted. 9.E. COMMISSIONER CAROL A. ROBERTS 9.E.1. VEHICLE FOR HIRE INDUSTRY ORDINANCE RECOMMENDATIONS. DISCUSSED 4-7-98 Commissioner Roberts requested the Board approve setting up a vehicle for hire task force with nine members and a non-medical transport services task force with seven members to address the proposed ordinance.
Commissioner McCarty said she appreciated Commissioner Roberts' efforts. Commissioner Roberts confirmed the task forces were temporary and said the industry requested the task forces to work with them on statewide legislation. The Board informally concurred to request that staff create a task force. No backup submitted. 9.E.2. CLERK'S HIRING FOUR NEW POSITIONS IN INFORMATION SYSTEM SERVICES (ISS). DISCUSSED 4-7-98 Commissioner Roberts referred to a recent newspaper advertisement that Clerk of the Circuit Court Dorothy H. Wilken sought to hire four new people in ISS. She said Steve Bordelon, director of ISS, sent a memorandum to the Clerk questioning which automated systems or programs would be supported by these positions and the status of the server purchased in 1997. Mr. Bordelon said the Clerk indicated she would prefer to discuss the matter in person and he was pursuing setting up a meeting with Clerk Wilken. Mr. Bordelon advised that ISS traditionally maintained the systems used exclusively by Board departments. Mr. Bordelon also noted that he understood the Office of Financial Management and Budget intended to review the Clerk's top key positions to determine if there were duplications or an overlap of personnel. The matter could be considered during the budget process. Commissioner Roberts noted that the Clerk's personnel are currently inhabiting space assigned to ISS, an area which is presently overcrowded. Mr. Bordelon said there was adequate space for his staff, however, that space was planned for other uses. He questioned why the routine methods for reallocating space in the Governmental Center was not followed. Commissioner McCarty commented that space planning is the responsibility of the Board's staff and recommended that staff send a letter on behalf of the Board advising the Clerk to vacate the eighth floor office space within 48 hours. Commissioner Lee requested that County Administrator Miller invite Mrs. Wilken to the Board meeting to discuss ongoing issues. Mr. Miller will also send a letter on behalf of the Board advising the Clerk to vacate the eighth floor office space within 48 hours. No backup submitted. 9.F. COMMISSIONER MAUDE FORD LEE - None 9.G.
