Palm Beach County, et al., Case No.: CL 95-8048-AF (Jog Road from Woolbright to Boynton Beach Boulevard). SUMMARY: The County has negotiated a proposed settlement in the amount of $220,000. The Defendants, Marion H. Cooper and William A. Hatch filed an inverse condemnation action against the County alleging ownership of a strip of land via a deed from West Peninsular Title Company located along Jog Road. This settlement will conclude all matters in this case, inclusive of all fees and costs. District 5 (SAB) (Co Atty) 36 5D-1 DELETED: Amendment Number 1 to the Contract dated November 10, 1996 (R96-1275D) with Florida Municipal Advisors, Inc. (the Consultant) exercising the option to extend the term of the contract, as set forth in Article 2 of the contract, for an additional two (2) year period through November 10, 2000. (OFMB) (Insurance issues, moved to 10/6) 36 5D-4 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: A) Budget Transfer of $700,000 from the General Fund Contingency to provide funding for workers' compensation insurance claims expense; and B) Budget Amendment of $700,000 in the Risk Management Fund to recognize the transfer from the General Fund and establish sufficient budget for workers' compensation insurance claims. SUMMARY: The attached budget transfer and budget amendment provide for the transfer of $700,000 in General Fund contingency to the Risk Management Fund to establish sufficient budget to pay workers' compensation claims for the remainder of FY 1997-98. Additional funds are needed to reimburse the Risk Management Fund for a large claim settled this year for which no reserve was established because the County had previously denied the claim. The Court ordered a settlement totaling $700,000 in November, 1997. Countywide (OFMB) 38 5G-1 REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: Staff recommends motion to approve: A) an Agreement with Discover Palm Beach County, Inc. from October 1, 1998 through September 30, 1999 in the amount of $6,549,000 for services needed to carry out the objectives and projects of the Tourist Development Plan; and B) a motion authorizing administration to negotiate an agreement with Discover Palm Beach County, Inc. for duties relating to the planning, operation, and maintenance of the proposed convention center. SUMMARY: Discover PB County, Inc. (the CVB) is responsible for promoting Palm Beach County both nationally and internationally, and the administration of Category "A" grants funded by tourism tax revenues. The agreement also contains certain duties related to the marketing of the proposed convention center. The agreement contains an option to renew for one additional 1 year period with the same terms and conditions. On July 9, 1998 the TDC approved a motion recommending the BCC approve this agreement. Countywide (MC) (TDC) 39 5I-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: an Amendment to the Settlement Agreement with Belvedere Military Corp. (BMC), et. al., granting a six (6) month extension of said Agreement in return for certain modification to the Agreement in favor of the County. SUMMARY: On September 2, 1997, the Board approved the Settlement Agreement with BMC, whereby BMC was to have acquired certain property adjacent to Palm Beach International Airport which could be exchanged for Airport owned property (the Wilson property) which BMC wished to acquire for its proposed development. BMC did not meet the deadline for acquiring the property to be exchanged and has requested a six (6) month extension in order to do so. In return, BMC has agreed to delete from the Agreement any rights relating to the Golfview Town Hall, and to delete BMC's right to acquire property south of Belvedere Road within the former Town of Golfview which was to have been used to meet BMC's drainage requirements in its development. In addition, in the event that a new appraisal, if required by the FAA, indicates that the Wilson property is valued at more than the $5.00 per square foot, BMC would have the right to proceed with the exchange at such appraised value. This will satisfy FAA requirements that the County obtain current Fair Market Value for its property. Countywide (GPS) (Airports) 2.B. ADOPTION MOTION to adopt the Agenda as amended, modify Item 3.A.2. to direct staff to report back within 60 days on the feasibility of reducing the right-of-way on Lyons Road and reorder the Agenda to consider Items 6.A.1. and 6.A.2. under Public Hearings.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Lib Shore suggested reducing the RSER locational criteria from within one-half mile of an intersection to one-quarter mile. Rita Miller urged retaining old-growth tree canopies and discouraging urban landscaping designs. Robert Bentz urged eliminating the 5,000-square-foot requirement for a business to have to apply for a Class A Conditional Use approval in a commercial pod of a planned unit development (PUD). He also suggested permitting those businesses to operate between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The Board discussed the need to allow flexibility for certain businesses to be able to remain open all night, if necessary, to serve the health, safety and welfare needs of the community. Staff emphasized that PUDs built since 1992 are under different regulations and that only three PUDs were affected by the ULDC changes since they never had any commercial development. Staff was directed to examine keeping 15,000 square feet as the minimum requirement for a Class A Conditional Use permit and to clarify the requirement for landscape buffers.

Commissioners Lee and McCarty absent. (CLERK'S NOTE: See Minutes of Regular Meeting of September 1, 1998, for earlier action on Item 6.G.1.) DIRECTION REGARDING OPENING AN ADDITIONAL CAR RENTAL COUNTER AT PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND REDUCING THE MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE OF $700,000. APPROVED WITH DIRECTION 9-15-98 Commissioner Foster discussed the need to create opportunities for small businesses by opening a seventh counter at Palm Beach International Airport for a rental car concession. He pointed out that the requirement to pay the County a minimum of $700,000 per year for use of the counter space was too high for a small company. He recommended reducing the minimum requirement to $250,000 and raising it back up over a five-year period by increasing it in increments of $50,000 per year and stopping at $500,000. The Board discussed Mr. Foster's recommendation as well as keeping 10 percent of revenue as a minimum contribution by a company for a concession. MOTION to lower the minimum contribution to $250,000, increase it by $50,000 per year until $500,000 is reached after five years and require that only a single-entity company be permitted to operate the rental concession. Motion by Commissioner Foster and seconded by Commissioner Marcus. Commissioner Roberts asked when the bid closing date was. Staff replied that it was in a week. Commissioner Aaronson suggested extending the closing date by another week. Staff replied that was feasible and that the bids could be considered at the next regular meeting.

TIME CERTAIN - 11:30 A.M. 5.F.2. RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR A FIRM TO PROVIDE MANAGEMENT AND SCHEDULING SERVICE FOR THE COUNTY'S SPECTRAN DIAL-A-RIDE PROGRAM. APPROVED 9-15-98 Staff explained the highlights of the proposed request for proposal (RFP). The most significant was the requirement to schedule trips based on several efficiency and service quality criteria in an effort to increase ridership and save money. The provider would also be given an incentive to provide the most efficient service. PUBLIC COMMENT: Mike Nagelberg objected to the lack of a provision for ordinary trips and subscription trips. He stated that it would be more cost-effective to have a two-tier system as subscription trips could be coordinated. He also expressed concern about potential problems with the Medicaid and Transportation Disadvantaged programs by having a five-year contract. Staff explained that, while there are some prohibitions to contracts longer than three years, there is a possibility that a five-year contract would be permitted since it was a competitive bidding process. Stanley Voice generally supported issuing the RFP, but said he believed there were potential legal drawbacks. He said that he favored multiple providers, but recommended that the program be kept under SpecTran. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Foster rejoined the meeting.) Israel Chance complained that there had not been enough public involvement with the selection committee and that he believed there were conflicts of interest with some of the members of the committee. Bobbi Valentine expressed concern about the RFP, particularly with SpecTran submitting a bid. She favored keeping SpecTran in charge of the transportation programs. Tom Shehan, representing Palm Beach County Medical Transportation Association, Inc. (PBCMTA), said the PBCMTA opposed limiting the number of service providers. He claimed this could result in providers going out of business. He suggested eliminating parts of the RFP and rewording it. Staff explained that the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (FAHCA) asked to be included in the RFP process. Staff reported that the FAHCA favored the RFP and would contract directly with a management company. Steve Aberger, president of PBCMTA, expressed concern that it was not in the best interests of the County to limit the number of providers. He said that peoples' lives could be endangered by a lack of response time to requests for transportation. MOTION to issue the request for proposal. Motion by Commissioner Roberts, seconded by Commissioner Foster and carried 6-0. Commissioner Lee absent. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Foster left the meeting.)
