​At the September 22, 2015, Board of County Commissioners meeting, the board took the following action:

Vehicles for hire – agreed to extend the current temporary operating agreement with Uber through March 31, 2016, or until state lawmakers adopt legislation resolving issues relating to ride-sharing services, whichever occurs first.

Curbstoning – approved an amendment to the motor vehicles traffic ordinance that prohibits curbstoning -- the parking or display of motor vehicles for sale, hire or rent in certain areas, unless authorized. Those activities are now prohibited on public rights of way, easements and private property open to the public, unless authorized.

Roadside vendors – approved an amendment to the Palm Beach County Roadside Vendors Ordinance changing the expiration date of permits issued for roadside vendors from December 31 to January 31.

Legislative Affairs – approved the county's proposed 2016 legislative agenda to be lobbied during the 2016 Florida Legislative Session that begins in January.

Project Tiger – approved ad valorem tax exemptions of up to $850,000 over 10 years for Project Tiger, which is considering a site in the Glades area for a new manufacturing facility. The project includes a $40 million capital investment for a new 90,000-square-foot plant. Project Tiger will create 71 new jobs at an average annual salary of $50,000. The five-year economic impact to the area is estimated at $162 million.

Project Darwin -- approved a cash grant of $160,000, with the city of Boca Raton providing $200,000, for Project Darwin. The company is considering a site in Boca Raton for the build out of its manufacturing facility, including a $28 million capital investment for construction of a 120,000-square-foot plant. The contributions are required local matches for a total of $1.3 million in state awards. Project Darwin will create 160 new full-time jobs over four years and retain 57 existing jobs for five years. The project's estimated five-year economic impact is $273 million.

Ethics – approved two amendments to the Palm Beach County Commission on Ethics Ordinance. One amendment allows a respondent in an enforcement case to have his/her hearing conducted by a hearing officer instead of the Commission on Ethics (COE). The other amendment requires those who file state-required gift reports must contemporaneously file a copy with the COE.

Water Utilities – approved a potable water supply agreement with Florida Power & Light, reclassifying FPL's Western Energy Center as a retail customer with specialized circumstances, rather than a bulk-rate customer.

Easements – approved two utility easement agreements with Florida Power & Light for Sandy Lane (aka Golf Avenue) and Amelia Street.

Trains – approved an agreement with Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway, LLC and All Aboard Florida (AAF) Operations, LLC for railroad crossing improvements. AAF will pay for all construction costs associated with installing new tracks. The additional set of tracks will increase annual sign maintenance costs paid by the county by about $22,000.

Supervisor of Elections – extended a lease with Huttig Building Products through 2021 for 76,000 square feet of warehouse and office space in Riviera Beach for use by the Supervisor of Elections Office.

Fair housing – adopted an amendment to the Housing and Places of Public Accommodation Ordinance, expanding the definition of a place of public accommodation to provide additional coverage to aggrieved persons.
