(Sponsored by Commissioner Lee) 25 6B-3 REVISED TITLE & SUMMARY: TIME CERTAIN 2:05 P.M. A) approve the partial privatization of the Traffic Signal Sign Shop; and B) direct the County Administrator to purchase approximately 20-30% of the signs currently manufactured by the Traffic Division Sign Shop from the successful bidder, and to eliminate one (1) Traffic Sign Shop Technician from the Traffic Division compliment through attrition or reassignment. SUMMARY: At the July 1, 1997 Board meeting, the Board
directed that the privatization of the Traffic Division Sign Shop be investigated,
including the installation and maintenance of signs. In a two step process, a Request For
Interest (RFI) was advertised for installation and maintenance of all signs and secondly,
bids were invited for the furnishing (manufacturing) of signs. Based on the result of the
RFI and the bid, it is the recommendation of staff that no further action be taken
concerning the installation and maintenance of signs and that the manufacturing of signs
be partly privatized. 26 6C-5 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to: A) retain the the law firm of Becker & Poliakoff, P.A. for legal services involving five (5) parcels in connection with the eminent domain litigation of the Hillcrest and Golfview projects for the Department of Airports; and B) authorize the Chair to execute an agreement retaining said law firm. SUMMARY: The agreement provides for an amount not to exceed $81,000 which includes the handling of all litigation for the five (5) parcels. These parcels consist of residential holdouts in the Hillcrest and Golfview areas. Countywide (SAB) 27 6E-1 DELETED: Staff requests motion to request Board direction regarding a Report from the Code Enforcement Division summarizing inspections of photography studios, tanning salons and massage parlors. (PZ&B) (Further staff review) 27 6E-2 REVISED SUMMARY: This ordinance takes corrective action on various ULDC items. The locational criteria for the Rural Service (RSER) district has been expanded to allow more sites to be rezoned to RSER. Supplementary standards for a commercial pod of a PUD approved before 1992 have been created. The Landscaping section of the ULDC has been amended to clarify the buffer requirements for incompatible uses. Correction of scrivener's errors is included in the document. The ordinance also contains three (3) items from the Engineering Department. A) Those submitting concurrency applications will be permitted to rely on the Florida Department of Transportation's Adopted Work Program for construction; B) The level of service standards on the Florida Intrastate Highway System language are now included in the Traffic Performance Standards of the ULDC; and C) A one(1) time extension may now be granted by a service provider for a Concurrency Reservation condition. (Departments of: PZB, ENG [BA, BB]) (PZ&B) 28 6G-1 ADD-ON: Staff requests Board direction regarding the bid for the rental car concession at Palm Beach International Airport. SUMMARY: On July 19, 1998, the County issued a bid for six (6) rental car concession agreements. After the bid was advertised three (3) non-concessionaire companies, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Thrifty Rent-A-Car, and Royal Rent-A-Car, requested that the concession (including counters in baggage claim) be expanded to seven (7) and that the Minimum Annual Guarantee be reduced from the current minimum acceptable bid of $700,000. There currently exists in baggage claim a counter which has been used in the past by the Travelers Aid program and later as the check in point for the experimental valet parking operation. This counter is currently not occupied. The counter is half the size of the existing six (6) rental car counters and includes no office space as the existing counters do. The three (3) non-concessionaire companies have suggested that this seventh counter be included in the bid. The options for responding to this request are: A) Make no change - maintain the current number of six concession positions. This does not preclude the non-concessionaire companies from operating at the airport. However, they would continue to do so without benefit of a counter position in the terminal; B) Add the currently unused counter to the bid for a total of seven counter positions, but do not reduce the minimum acceptable bid for the Minimum Annual Guarantee below the current $700,000. This provides the possibility for the non-concessionaire companies to bid on the concession, and maintains the protection for the County's guaranteed revenue of $4,200,000 ($4,900,000 if acceptable bids are received for all seven positions); C) Add the currently unused counter to the bid for a total of seven counter positions, and reduce the minimum acceptable bid for the Minimum Annual Guarantee to $200,000 for each of the seven concession positions. This will be more acceptable to the non-concessionaire companies, but will provide the County with $1,400,000 in guaranteed revenue rather than the $4,200,000; and D) Revise the contract for this bid to provide that the County will limit the total number of rental car concession positions to seven (7) rather than the current six (6). Make no other changes to the existing bid except to notify bidders that the seventh counter will be bid separately after the bid for the current six (6) counters is completed. After bids are received for the existing six concession positions, bid out the currently unused counter with the possibility of a reduced Minimum Annual Guarantee bid. This approach would require confirmation from the FAA that it would not be violative of the County's grant assurances, as well as a finding that the seventh counter was qualitatively and functionally different so as to necessitate a reduced Minimum Annual Guarantee. Concessionaire and non-concessionaire rental car companies operate at the airport in essentially the same manner in that all customers board a shuttle bus for transportation to the company's service facility to obtain the vehicle.

(MONITORING) Site Planner Maryann Kwok informed the Board that the petitioner requested the following condition modifications:
No discharge of firearms shall occur in the buffer area. The discharge of firearms shall further be restricted to the sporting clay targets only.
Ms. Kwok said staff agreed to the changes. Kieran J. Kilday, agent, agreed to the conditions and explained Boca Hotel and Club was not in a position to agree to a condition pertaining to land they were leasing. He noted that Tom McCracken of South Florida Water Management District would make a statement regarding this condition. Thomas F. McCracken, Land Management Division Director of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), said SFWMD is committed to work with the County on the alignment of Coral Ridge Drive Extension and had scheduled a September 15, 1998, meeting with the Department of Transportation, Broward County, and the City of Parkland to resolve this issue. County Engineer George T. Webb explained Condition E.2. was one of notification only and the petitioner was a lessee of a portion of Site One. Mr. Webb said it was the intent of the County to work cooperatively with SFWMD and recommended Condition E.2. be deleted. PUBLIC COMMENT: None MOTION to approve the request of Petition 98-34 for a rezoning from AR to CRE and for a conditional use for an open gun club, with conditions as amended, and adopt resolutions affirming those actions. Commissioner Roberts asked how the facility would interfere with or go with plans for a preserve and buffer. Mr. McCracken explained the property will revert to a water preserve/storage area when the lease expires. Also, 80 acres was being reserved to continue design work, he said. Assistant County Attorney Robert P. Banks confirmed SFWMD was placed on notice during a public meeting that the County has the option to construct a road on this tract.

(P.O.P. 921992) APPROVED 9-1-98 DCA RECOMMENDATIONS:
Commissioner Marcus asked why the intrastate highway system was part of this agreement. County Engineer George T. Webb and Principal Planner Maria Bello responded the Department of Transportation was not satisfied with the policy adopted by the Board which included a technical error regarding the level of service with mass transit, and policy and coastal evacuation map. The Department of Community Affairs urged the County to try to arrive at a language that would be more acceptable to the Department of Transportation.

MINUTES OF THE SELECTION COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 23, 1998, WHEREBY FREDERIC R. HARRIS, INC., WAS SELECTED TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES REQUIRED FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL GROUP 5 PROJECT. APPROVED 9-1-98 Commissioner Newell said he had met with some firms which expressed concern with the request for proposal process (RFP). County Engineer George T. Webb said Engineering had been contacted by two of the firms from the final selection list requesting to change their subconsultant list to allow one of the firms to act as a subconsultant for the other who would remain as a primary firm. Staff agreed, and three firms made presentations to the Selection Committee who chose Frederick R. Harris, Inc. Some concerns were based on an erroneous report provided by Engineering and also a belief that the County should not allow the subconsultants list to be revised during the RFP process. Staff supported the Selection Committee's selection of Frederick R. Harris. The Board expressed concern with authorizing the firms to change the subconsultant list during the RFP process and directed staff to clarify the procedure. PUBLIC COMMENT: Hugo Unruh, representing F. R. Alterman and Associates, Inc., appealed to the Board to rebid the job because his client was not notified when the two firms decided to present a joint bid. Robert Edelstein, Vice-President of Frederic R. Harris, Inc., said if the job were readvertised, his firm would be at a disadvantage as the other firms were now familiar with the presented bid. Commissioner Roberts suggested delaying the item until there was a full Board present. County Attorney Dytrych said if the Board voted 3-3 now, the item would be presented at a later meeting. Commissioner Roberts confirmed with staff that nothing illegal had transpired during the RFP process; objections were with procedures. MOTION to POSTPONE the item until September 15, 1998. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Marcus. Commissioner Aaronson said he believed the RFP process was incorrect and that he would work with staff toward an unobjectionable process. Commissioners McCarty and Newell questioned the formula used for scoring each firm. Mr. Webb reviewed the score sheet and agreed to provide further detail at a later date. SUBSTITUTE MOTION to approve the Minutes of the Selection Committee and direct staff to clearly define the RFP rules regarding the process between initial submission and the shortlisting process.

(AMENDS R-97-1274-D) APPROVED 9-1-98 PUBLIC COMMENT: Ana Barlow said she believed the Homeless Hotline did not meet community needs on several levels and requested the Board postpone the item for 30 days to allow time for several agencies to meet and renegotiate the funds. Assistant County Administrator Jean Creamer referred the Board to the backup for specific information regarding the community needs and services provided and briefly discussed the hotline. Terry Bozarth, executive director of Adopt-a-Family, discussed services provided by the hotline and requested the Board's continued support. Dorothy Graham, homeless outreach coordinator, requested the Board's support. Commissioner Aaronson said he had many cards supporting the contract. MOTION to approve the amendment.

Webb assured Commissioner Aaronson that the State Road 7 widening project, between State Road 80 and Glades Road, would not include street lighting and that staff would investigate lighting intersections with heavy traffic flow. Commissioners McCarty and Roberts requested staff look into lighting needs on all east County roads where population is greatest and continue reviewing needs in the western part of the County. Commissioner Foster recommended prioritizing by traffic flow, not population, for safety. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-1. Commissioner Foster opposed. Commissioner Lee absent. 6.B.2. a.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Mark Perry, representing the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) Legal Council, said the LWDD has received inquiries because of the activity in the Agricultural Reserve and expressed concern with the drainage in the Lake Worth Drainage District and the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program. The LWDD Board had scheduled a meeting September 16, 1998, to discuss the TDR program, he said. The Board suggested Mr. Perry meet with an Assistant County Attorney to discuss his concerns and advised amended language relating to his concern was not included in the motion. Mr. Perry said he would request the LWDD Board to work with the County and the South Florida Water Management District and believed the concerns could be resolved. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-1. Commissioner Marcus opposed. Commissioner Lee absent. 6.F. COMMUNITY SERVICES 6.F.1. a.

A BUDGET AMENDMENT WILL BE SUBMITTED IN FISCAL YEAR 1999 FOR THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCY RESERVES. APPROVED 9-1-98 Commissioner McCarty expressed concern with the loss of money and growth of the program. Assistant County Administrator Jean Creamer explained that last year the level of services needed for single teenage parents with no job or life skills was unknown. There were problems with enrollments and dropouts. Staff has interviewed 50 people to select from for next year and believed every enrolled member would complete the program next year, she said. Commissioner McCarty said she could not support the program today but suggested staff investigate moving the program to the Workforce Development Board under the teen pregnancy component. Commissioner Foster said he supported the program but agreed it may be more appropriate under the Workforce Development Board. Commissioners Marcus and Roberts said they supported the program and suggested combining efforts with the Workforce Development Board or school centers to reduce administrative costs. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 4-2. Commissioners McCarty and Newell opposed. Commissioner Lee absent. 6.G. AIRPORTS 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 9-1-98 Commissioner McCarty stated that she would abstain from voting on Item 6.G.1., opening an additional car rental counter at Palm Beach International Airport, due to a conflict of interest. She said that she would be submitting a Memorandum of Voting Conflict for County, Municipal and other Local Public Officers in compliance with Florida Statutes, Section 112.3143. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner McCarty left the meeting.) MOTION to open an additional car rental counter, smaller than the existing six counters, allow car agencies to combine as one entity and charge at the current rental and annual guarantee rates. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Foster. Commissioners Aaronson and Roberts agreed that multiple entities could bid on the additional counter and split the $700,000 minimum guarantee. Commissioner Foster questioned the rental rate. Director of Airports Bruce Pelly explained the rate is based on square footage. PUBLIC COMMENT: Harold Callahan and Dave Creef, representing Enterprise Rent-A- Car; Horace Derricks, representing Royal Rent-A-Car; Bill Hardemon, representing Royal Rent-A-Car; and Gary Stein, representing Thrifty Car Rental all supported the additional counter. They urged separate bids from smaller business, as defined by the Small Business Bureau, after the bids were received for the current counters, and sought a reduction of the minimum annual guarantee bid for the following reasons:
Commissioner Marcus suggested adding the additional counter and reducing the minimum annual guarantee bid but said she believed a $200,000 annual guarantee was too low. Department of Airports Director Pelly supported opening the additional counter with a lower minimum annual guarantee bid. He said the rental car revenues currently were $10 Million. The Board expressed concerns that small businesses could not afford the minimum annual guarantee. Commissioner Newell questioned the additional counter revenues. Mr. Pelly said the additional counter would provide 10 percent annual gross revenue opposed to the off-airport annual revenue of 8 percent. SUBSTITUTE MOTION to direct staff to add the additional rental car counter, and reduce the minimum annual guarantee bid to $440,000. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Newell. The Board and staff briefly discussed airport revenues and the minimum annual guarantee bids. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE ON THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION, the motion FAILED 2-3. Commissioners Aaronson, Foster and Roberts opposed. Commissioners Lee and McCarty absent. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION, the motion carried 3-2. Commissioners Marcus and Newell opposed.

Ms. Roberts requested the extension be considered at the September 15, 1998, meeting. Chief Deputy County Attorney Gordon P. Selfridge explained the Board is not committed to an extension only allowing time for consideration. Commissioner Aaronson requested the extension be placed on the September 15, 1998, Agenda for consideration. No backup submitted. (CLERK'S NOTE: See Page 41 for continuation of Commissioner Comments.) RECESS At 12:30 p.m., the Chair declared a recess. RECONVENE At 2:30 p.m., the Board reconvened with Commissioners Aaronson, McCarty, Marcus and Newell present. 7. BOARD APPOINTMENTS 7.A. ADMINISTRATION 7.A.1. APPOINTMENT OF JOHN H.

DIRECT THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO PURCHASE APPROXIMATELY 20-30 PERCENT OF THE SIGNS CURRENTLY MANUFACTURED BY THE TRAFFIC DIVISION SIGN SHOP FROM THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER, AND TO ELIMINATE ONE TRAFFIC SIGN SHOP TECHNICIAN FROM THE TRAFFIC DIVISION COMPLEMENT THROUGH ATTRITION OR REASSIGNMENT. APPROVED 9-1-98 (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioners Foster and Roberts joined the meeting.) PUBLIC COMMENT: Jeff Collins, executive vice-president of the Communication Workers of America, expressed concern with the elimination of one employee and discussed the history and experience of the sign shop employees. Mr. Collins requested the Board not privatize the sign shop. County Engineer George T. Webb said a bid was received offering an alternative process that would produce savings if the County purchased signs from Universal Sign and Accessories instead of purchasing materials directly from 3M. Universal Sign and Accessories has expressed interest in any portion of a contract and is committed to using 3M products. Staff recommended referring 20-30 percent of the signs currently being made by the County to Universal Sign and Accessories. Mr. Webb explained 90 percent of traffic signal installation and pavement markings are performed by outside forces. Mr. Webb assured the Board that the elimination of one position would be done through attrition. The employee would be cross-trained to back up sign installers and warehouse employees. Commissioner Roberts objected to the cost of replacing expensive sign-making machines with revenues saved from eliminating a position. Traffic Division Director Charles Walker explained the older sign-making machine would have to be replaced and the other machine would be used as a backup. MOTION to approve the partial privatization of the Traffic Signal Sign Shop, purchase a portion of signs from an outside vendor and eliminate one technician's position. Motion by Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner Foster. Commissioners McCarty and Marcus suggested staff contact the Graphics Department concerning a self-directed team and the possibility of transferring a supervisor rather than eliminating a technician's job. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-1. Commissioner Roberts opposed. Commissioner Lee absent. (CLERK'S NOTE: The following Staff Comment was heard at this time.) 9. STAFF COMMENTS 9.A.

CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURTS COMPUTER PURCHASE AND THE BOARD'S AUDIT REQUEST OF THE CLERK'S FEE BUDGET. DISCUSSED 9-1-98 Commissioner Roberts requested County Administrator Weisman to respond to the Chief Deputy for Administrative Services Joe Martin's September 1, 1998, memorandum regarding the recent purchase, by Dorothy H. Wilken, Clerk of the Circuit Court, of 300 computers and how they were financed. County Administrator Weisman responded he was unaware of the purchase and assumed the computers were being financed from the Clerk's fee budget. Commissioner Roberts asked the status of receiving the Clerk's fee budget audit and expressed the importance of having that information when making budget decisions. Mr. Weisman said the audit was in process and he would ask Financial Management and Budget Director Richard Roberts for a completion date. The final budget to be considered September 8, 1998, did not include figures from the fee budget, he said. Commissioners Aaronson and Newell expressed concern with the Clerk not discussing the computer purchase with the County Administrator for a possibly less expensive purchase price. Mr. Wiesman said the Clerk has her own purchasing department. Commissioner Aaronson requested the Board allow Mr. Weisman time to look into the memorandum and report back. Backup submitted. 10.B. COMMISSIONER MARY MCCARTY 10.B.1. ADDITIONAL $20,000 HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION. DISCUSSED 9-1-98 Commissioner McCarty said Palm Beach County Partnership for Aging had contacted her asking the Board's position regarding an additional $20,000 homestead exemption and asked if the Board wanted to take a position or possibly workshop the topic for discussion. Commissioners Aaronson, McCarty, Marcus and Newell all agreed the County could not afford allowing an additional $20,000 in homestead exemption and directed staff to prepare a letter to the organization explaining the Board would not take a position and include the financial impact the additional exemption would have on the County. No backup submitted. 10.B.2. CONCERT HALL IN MIZNER PARK.

No backup submitted 10.C. COMMISSIONER WARREN H. NEWELL 10.C.1. PAWN SHOP LEGISLATION. DISCUSSED 9-1-98 Commissioner Newell requested the Board's concurrence to propose pawnshop legislation for the fiscal year 1999 session regarding conflicting provisions in the statutes, prevent local governments from enacting more restrictive ordinances pertaining to pawnbrokers, and propose laws that award ownership rights on stolen property to victims rather than pawnshops. Commissioners Marcus and Roberts supported the issues. No backup submitted. 10.D. COMMISSIONER BURT AARONSON 10.D.1. ARTICLE V FUNDING OF STATE MANDATED CRIMINAL JUSTICE COSTS. DISCUSSED 9-1-98 Commissioner Aaronson recommended the Board take a position on Article 5 funding State mandated criminal justice costs and suggested placing this issue on the September 15, 1998, Agenda to discuss a plan to educate the public.
