9.A. COMMISSIONER KAREN T. MARCUS

9.A.1.

STORM DAMAGE EMERGENCY REPAIRS AND ASSISTANCE. APPROVED 1-12-99

Commissioner Marcus called attention to the recent storm that resulted in severe flooding damage in a section of the north County area in the Highland Pines neighborhood and the area near Idlewild Road. Although efforts to repair the flooding problems through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other groups had been in process for three years, the problems had not been resolved. She requested authorization for staff to bypass the regular competitive bid process and hire a contractor on an emergency basis to construct a storm drainage system.

Commissioner Lee reported on her meeting with the citizens of Riviera Beach who also experienced property damage from the same storm as well as tornado destruction. Emergency Management and Housing and Community Development staff, present during the meeting, said total property damage was over $7 Million and that many residents were still residing in severely damaged homes.

Commissioner Lee asked the Board to also consider authorizing the Housing and Community Development and the Public Safety departments to continue compiling damage assessment reports from each affected city and unincorporated area; to immediately seek state review when the minimum requirement of 100 damaged homes had been met; assist the City of Riviera Beach to secure emergency shelter assistance for those residents whose homes had been destroyed or otherwise were rendered uninhabitable; organize meetings with the City of Riviera Beach officials, appropriate state offices and local civic and non-profit community agencies to coordinate local community relief efforts and report back to the Board in two weeks.

Commissioner Roberts suggested that Commissioner Lee's and Commissioner Marcus' requests be considered separately. She noted Board policy that discouraged requests for expenditure of funds under Commissioner Comments. It was standard procedure to place such items on the Agenda to allow for proper review.

Commissioner Marcus stated that staff was informed during Agenda review that she would request emergency repairs under Commissioner Comments. She explained the Highland Pines and Idlewild Road projects had been paid for by FEMA funds. Her request was for the emergency selection of a contractor to complete the work before more flooding occurred.

No backup submitted.

MOTION to approve the emergency selection of contractor to construct a storm drainage system for the Highland Pines and Idlewild Road areas. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Newell.

Commissioner Newell pointed out there were drainage projects in his district that had been on hold for years. County Administrator Weisman said there were projects in various areas of the County for which it had not been determined which governmental agency was responsible for their completion.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Aaronson and McCarty absent.

CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE PROPOSED $150 MILLION BOND ISSUE FOR AGRICULTURAL RESERVE LAND ACQUISITION. DISCUSSED 1-12-99

Commissioner Marcus said there was a need to clarify staff direction regarding the proposed $150 Million bond referendum issue. There was a question as to whether staff was directed to draft an ordinance to specify how the money would be spent. County Administrator Weisman responded it was staff's understanding to proceed with an ordinance. Commissioner Marcus asked if staff could return in two weeks with an ordinance.

Commissioner Masilotti queried if staff was capable of educating the public regarding the proposed bond issue or if it would be necessary to hire a consultant. Mr. Weisman stated the Board had approved a consultant at Commissioner Marcus' recommendation. Commissioner Marcus explained that she had suggested utilizing the consulting firm that was hired for the Revision 7 project because of its success rate and the Board had concurred. Commissioner Masilotti stated his concern with not going through the competitive bid process for a consultant. Mr. Weisman said staff would report back to the Board on January 26.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus left the meeting.)

Chief Deputy County Attorney Gordon P. Selfridge commented that:

• Staff wanted to clarify Board direction to draft an ordinance specifying how the funds would be spent on the Agricultural Reserve and the environmentally sensitive lands.

• The Nature Conservancy had provided information and guidelines which would be the basis for the ordinance.

• The environmentally sensitive lands ordinance adopted in 1990 would be used as a format for the proposed ordinance.

• Staff would draft a resolution addressing the density issues that could not be included in the ordinance.

Commissioner Roberts asked if the ordinance would clarify that $50 Million would be spent for environmentally sensitive lands and $100 Million would be dedicated to the Agricultural Reserve with a reduction in density. Mr. Selfridge responded that care had to taken in including the density issue in the proposed ordinance. There would be a resolution to address density in the Agricultural Reserve. The ordinance and resolution would be submitted for first reading on January 26.

Commissioner Roberts was concerned with addressing the density issue in a resolution which was not as legally binding as an ordinance. Mr. Selfridge explained the density issues were covered in the Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Land Development Code. To ensure that the proposed ordinance on spending the funds was sustainable if challenged and to be able to address density issues during the normal land use process, staff would address spending in an ordinance and density in a resolution. The various interest groups had concurred. Commissioner Roberts maintained that the public would not be given assurance the Agricultural Reserve would be saved because the current bond issue would allow development there and the density issue addressed by resolution and not an ordinance.

Commissioner Masilotti asked if the same consultant to educate the public about the Agricultural Reserve and environmentally sensitive lands bond issue would be utilized for the $25 Million park and recreation bond issue. Mr. Weisman repied that the recreation bond issue was being given equal consideration as the Agricultural Reserve and environmentally sensitive lands bond issue. The same consultant would be used for both. Commissioner Lee asked that local community newspapers be involved in the advertisement of the bond issues.

No backup submitted.

6.F.1.

CONTRACT NOT TO EXCEED $378,000 WITH FLORIDA GUARDRAIL, INC., FOR INSTALLATION AND/OR FURNISHING OF NEW GUARDRAIL AND REMOVING AND DISPOSING OF OLD AND/OR RESETTING OF EXISTING GUARDRAIL. POSTPONED 1-12-99

County Attorney Weisman reported that:

• The low bidder CEM Enterprises, Inc. had failed to meet the Minority/Women Business Enterprise goals by 0.0002 percent.
• There was a discrepancy in CEM Enterprise's bid whereby 77 cents was entered in one area of the bid document and omitted in another area.

• The purchasing appeals committee ruled that the bid should be awarded to the second low bidder, Florida Guardrail, Inc., whose bid was $15,000 greater because of Board policy that there would be no rounding off of numbers.
• Staff did not recommend the Board overrule the committee's decision. The Board might want to reconsider its policy, however.
• There was another case whereby the low bidder had no minority participation and the second low bidder was short of meeting the goal. The bid would have been granted to the second low bidder, but because of the no rounding policy, the contract would be awarded to the low bidder with no minority participation.

Commissioner Masilotti expressed concern with a $15,000 increase in costs because of a 77-cent discrepancy. He asked for staff's recommendation regarding the policy. Mr. Weisman stated he did not consider it to be a matter of rounding off, but a mistake whereby 77 cents was entered in one area of CEM Enterprises, Inc.'s bid document and omitted in another area. It was difficult to draw a line when trying to accomplish a goal within a set of rules. It was made very clear to the vendors that rounding was not allowed. Commissioner Masilotti interjected there had to be a certain amount of flexibility regarding the rules.

Commissioner Newell suggested the bids be resubmitted. County Attorney Dytrych advised the Board had that option, but there would be liability. She noted it was very clear in the bid documents that rounding was not allowed and the determination to disqualify CEM Enterprise's bid was in compliance with Board policy. That determination would have to be overcome with some findings of fact that CEM Enterprise's actions were arbitrary and capricious; which might be difficult to do.

Commissioner Roberts said the Board had a fiscal responsibility to the tax payers. She would not support award of the contract to the Florida Guardrail, Inc., that would cost $15,000 more because of an error to place 77 cents in the second area of CEM Enterprise's bid document. The Board needed to revisit its policy, she said. County Engineer George T. Webb explained the current policy stated that if the low bidder did not meet MWBE requirements, a 10 percent increase over the low bid, up to a maximum of $100,000 would be allowed for the next low bidder that did meet the requirements.

Mr. Weisman suggested the Board postpone the item to allow for further staff evaluation since this was the first time that a vendor had the correct amount in one area and it was omitted in the other. Commissioner Lee recommended that staff carefully evaluate the situation because it could set a precedence for other vendors to come before the Board regarding similar circumstances that had occurred.

MOTION to POSTPONE the item for further staff review and to report back to the Board at the next Board of County Commissioners meeting. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Newell.

In response to Commissioner Roberts' query, Mr. Weisman stated concern that some members of the appeals committee were unaware that the correct amount was placed in one area of the bid document.

AMENDED MOTION to ensure by the next Board of County Commissioners meeting that Mr. Weisman was comfortable that the issue had been throughly researched instead of bringing the item back at that time. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 4-0. Commissioners Aaronson, McCarty and Marcus absent.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Commissioner Lee apologized for the inadvertent omission of a comment card. Alex Expino, representative for Sunshine Painting, asked to be notified when the item returned before the Board so that he could comment at that time.

Commissioner Newell said there was a problem with the pawn shop legislation because some of its sponsors were proposing to remove the home rule issue which was the key to the entire bill. The CJC had agreed to write the sponsoring legislators requesting the home rule issue remain. Florida Association of Counties endorsed the same legislation. Mr. Newell requested staff draft a letter for the Chair's signature stressing the importance of keeping the home rule issue in that legislation.

MORE STRINGENT TITLE LOAN LAWS. APPROVED DRAFTING LANGUAGE 1-12-99

Commissioner Roberts noted a local newspaper article suggested the County seek means for more stringent title loan laws. She asked staff to seek support of legislation regarding the matter. Broward County authorized its attorney to draft an ordinance tightening restrictions on title loan companies and Ms. Roberts recommended Palm Beach County do the same.

Commissioner Newell commented that many consumer loans were issued at pawn shops that were allowed to charge up to 300 percent interest per year. Many consumers could not repay the loans because of the astronomical interest rates. There were proposals for regulation of title loans through either the Department of Agriculture Consumer Services Division or the banking industry. He said that pawn shops were currently regulated through the Consumer Services Division which was not doing a good job. It was important to specify in any proposed legislation who should regulate tile loans.

Commissioner Roberts recommended that the County draft an ordinance for local consumer protection and to lobby at the state level.

MOTION to draft an ordinance to tighten regulation of title loans and to seek state legislation. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Newell.

County Attorney Dytrych said that staff would confer with Broward County regarding the outcome of its title loan ordinance. Commissioner Newell asked that the Legislative Delegation be contacted to support legislation to strengthen title loan regulation.

Commissioner Newell requested staff to review the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations (COWBRA) study regarding the proposed annexation into the City of Boynton Beach or the incorporation of the areas west of Boynton Beach that included the Agricultural Reserve. He asked staff to ensure that the analysis of costs, taxes and different financing issues were accurate and to report back to the Board and to notify COWBRA of any potential problems with the proposals. Commissioner Roberts suggested the Board consider seeking more effective means of expressing its disapproval of certain annexation requests to the Department of Community Affairs which in the past had not concurred with any the Board's recommendations for disapproval.

STORM DAMAGE EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. APPROVED 1-12-99

Commissioner Lee commented that:

• She and staff had attended a meeting in the City of Riviera Beach with residents who were affected by the recent storm.

• She requested permission to have Housing and Community Development Department and Public Safety Department staff continue compiling damage assessment reports in order to meet requirements of 100 affected residences to qualify for federal funding; and to assist the City of Riviera Beach in securing emergency shelter for those persons whose residences were rendered uninhabitable.

• The City of Riviera Beach was redirecting some of its housing and redevelopment funds for the emergency assistance costs. It needed approval from the Board to do so.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus rejoined the meeting.)

Housing and Community Development Director Remar M. Harvin stated that:

• If the Board determined that an emergency existed within the City of Riviera Beach, Community Development Block Grant regulations, under its urgent needs policy, allowed for greater flexibility and expediency in spending the grant funds toward assisting the impacted residents.

• A budget was available through the city for previously allocated dollars. Staff would redirect $100,000 of those funds into an emergency pool that could assist with emergency repairs and assistance. The Board previously authorized staff to shift the funds among approved line items.

• For a more comprehensive approach, staff was coordinating with the Community Services Department to assist those affected persons who were renters that did not qualify for funding as did property owners.

Commissioner Masilotti asked why funding was being limited to the City of Riviera Beach and not other North County areas that had been affected. He also questioned if the funds could be utilized for businesses such as the Young Women's Christian Association that may have sustained damage. Mr. Harvin responded there was $150,000 that had been approved for a contract with the Hispanic Human Resource Council which later asked that the funding contract be terminated because it had sold the funded property. His department proposed to redirect $100,000 of that money to assist the other North County areas that included the City of Lake Park and portions of the Town of Jupiter. The block grant funds were limited to residential assistance. Staff, however, was trying to provide social services assistance to all who required it. The funds had to be used for the CDBG targeted areas of economic impact and not other areas of the County that may have been affected by the storm.

No backup submitted.

CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE PROPOSED $150 MILLION BOND ISSUE FOR AGRICULTURAL RESERVE LAND ACQUISITION. DISCUSSED 1-12-99

(CLERK'S NOTE: See Pages 31-32 for earlier discussion.)

Chief Deputy County Administrator Selfridge stated that:

• The proposed $150 Million bond ordinance would address the spending of $100 Million for agricultural lands and $50 Million for environmentally sensitive lands and the nature of the projects to be purchased.
• Staff proposed to reflect the Board's intent on the density issue in a resolution because density was addressed in the Comprehensive Plan and implemented by the Zoning Code.
• The Nature Conservancy and other interested groups wanted the Board to bind itself to a future certain density level; the Board could not do that.
• There were property rights issues related to trying to reduce density.
• The net effect of buying land was to reduce the available units allowed by density.
• The resolution would express that the intent of the program was to reduce the overall development in the Agricultural Reserve Area. To attempt that by an ordinance would result in conflict.

Commissioner Marcus asked if the ordinance could reference a certain number of acres the Board proposed to purchase. Mr. Selfridge said the ordinance would state that the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code allowed for the development a certain number of acres. The proposed purchase program would result in a decrease of those acres. Buying the land would reduce the number of units available for development which was not the same as changing density, he said.

Commissioner Newell commented that the original intent was to develop a program to preserve agriculture, which had not been accomplished. Commissioner Masilotti commented that a referendum was being developed to preserve agriculture by reducing the amount of development units in the Agricultural Reserve. Mr. Newell interjected that buying units would not guarantee preservation of agriculture. Staff explained that the program scope stated the purpose was to preserve the potential for agriculture, enhance water resources and limit the development potential. Commissioner Roberts concurred with Commissioner Newell. She noted there was a reference to 10,000 acres for development when it should actually refer to 3,000 acres because 3,000 acres currently existed that were permitted for development. Preservation of agriculture was not a guarantee according to the proposed program, she said.

Commissioner Marcus said that the preservation of agriculture could be accomplished. The focus needed to be on agricultural enhancement instead of development units, she emphasized. Ms. Marcus recommended the development of an agricultural community. Commissioner Roberts maintained the County should take whatever steps were necessary to preserve agriculture. Staff explained there was no way to guarantee the preservation of agriculture through an ordinance. An ordinance attempting to address all of the issues discussed would be brought back for Board review.

No backup submitted.
