A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a $50,000 Marine Tech Prep Grant Agreement with the Riviera Beach Maritime Academy (RBMA) retroactive from October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007. SUMMARY: The Palm Beach County’s Marine Tech Prep Program is in its 9th year of operation. The proposed $50,000 Grant Agreement with the Riviera Beach Maritime Academy, a newly created public charter school, will provide assistance for the development of the Marine Academy Program. During this twelve (12) month Grant Agreement, RBMA will: a) recruit 70 new students for its charter school, which has integrated a complete high school program with a maritime program. The students will receive the training needed to enter the marine industry workforce immediately after graduation; b) organize eight (8) education field trips, and c) organize two (2) classroom projects for students’ competition. Countywide (DW)
2. Staff recommends motion to approve: Extension Agreements for the following Resident Education to Action Program (REAP) grantees for the period December 5, 2006 to June 5, 2007:
A) Federal Gardens Neighborhood Association, Inc.;
B) Homes at Lawrence Homeowners Association, Inc.;
C) New Community Development Group, Inc.;
D) Pahokee Housing Authority;
E) Sugar Subdivision Concerned Neighbors; and
F) Theresa Clark representing residents of the City of South Bay.
SUMMARY: The Grantees listed above are requesting a six (6) month time extension of the Agreements originally executed on June 6, 2006 (R2006-0935, R2006-0937, R2006-0938, R2006-0939, R2006-0940, and R2006-0941) in order to complete the projects funded through the Resident Education to Action Program in Fiscal Year 2005 - 2006. Districts 3, 6, & 7 (AH)

3. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL
B. CLERK AND COMPTROLLER (Cont’d)
4. Staff recommends motion to receive and file: change orders, work task orders, minor contracts, final payments and other items approved by the Contract Review Committee and by the department heads for the Engineering Department; Facilities Development and Operations Department; Water Utilities Department; Environmental Resources Management Department; and the Department of Airports during September 2006. Countywide
5. Staff recommends motion to approve: the Ninth Amendment to the agreement with Integral Systems, Inc. (R93-1549D) dated December 7, 1993, in an amount not-to-exceed $313,750 for an additional two (2) years of software maintenance for personnel/payroll system December 7, 2006 to December 6, 2008. SUMMARY: This Amendment provides for an additional two (2) years of standard HRMS software maintenance for the County’s Personnel/Payroll system, Checkwrite I-Trust Web and JES2Mail modules at a cost of $303,500 for the period effective December 7, 2006, through December 6, 2008. Acquisition of the JES2RPL software module, at a cost of $8,750, along with an additional year of maintenance at a cost of $1,500 is required to facilitate the increasing demand for large reports to be separated by department and sent via e-mail to the recipients. JES2RPL is an extension of the existing JES2Mail version of the software, which distributes single reports via e-mail, but is unable to separate and send large reports to multiple departments. JES2RPL will permit these large single reports to be separated and distributed to each department automatically, via e-mail in a PDF format without human intervention, thereby making staff more efficient and providing more timely reports in a neat and professional format. Countywide (PFK)

SUMMARY: As required by changes in Florida Statutes, the BCC adopted an Ordinance on October 26, 2006, establishing the Proportionate Fair Share Program. The Ordinance applies to all proposed developments that cannot meet traffic concurrency due to a failure of a road that is scheduled for construction in the County’s Five-Year Road Program. Consistent with the new Statute, and our Ordinance, developers can proceed with their project notwithstanding the concurrency failure by entering into a Proportionate Fair Share Agreement.

4. Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 1 to Adoption by Shepherd Care contract (R2006-1075; June 20, 2006) for the period July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007, for $15,000 for a new not-to-exceed total of $90,000 for the “Choose Life” license plate funds. SUMMARY: Adoption by Shepherd Care meets the intent of Section 320.08058(30), Florida Statutes, which requires counties to distribute annual use fees from the sale of “Choose Life” license plates. Services provided are limited by the Statute and involve meeting the physical needs of pregnant women who are committed to placing their children up for adoption. The Department of Motor Vehicles has revised their budget categories to include a category “Other Material Needs” of pregnant women beyond clothing, housing, medical care, food, utilities, and transportation. The $15,000 will be placed in this new category. Countywide (TKF)
F. AIRPORTS
1. Staff recommends motion to receive and file: five (5) original contract(s)/agreement(s)/grant(s) for the Department of Airports:
A) Agreement to Terminate Hangar Lease Agreement for North County General Aviation Airport with Col-Da, LLC, Hangar Unit No. 1, Building 11220, effective October 31, 2006 (amends R2004-0017);
B) Hangar Lease Agreement for North County General Aviation Airport with George Marburger, Hangar No. 11220-02, effective October 31, 2006;
C) Affidavit of Posting Resolution to amend the Palm Beach County Airport Rules and Regulations to provide for non-commercial self service fueling operations; providing for inclusion in the Code of Laws and Ordinances (R2006-2087);
D) Affidavit of Posting Non-Commercial Self-Service Fueling (R2006-2088); and
E) Airline-Airport Use and Lease Agreement with Southwest Airlines Company, effective October 19, 2006.
SUMMARY: Delegation of authority for execution of these standard County agreements above was approved by the BCC pursuant to R2004-1367, R2003-1047 and R2006-1906. Countywide (LMB)
2. Staff recommends motion to adopt: Resolution approving revised standard form Airline Service Incentive Program Participation Agreements; authorizing the County Administrator or his designee to execute and make certain amendments to the standard form agreements; repealing Resolution No. R2004-2413; and providing an effective date. SUMMARY: The proposed agreement defines a new destination as an airport rather than a city; this allows the County to grant an Incentive for a new non-stop destination to a secondary airport within a destination market. Defining a new destination at the airport level will help foster competition between airlines in certain markets where there is limited service to the primary airport. The proposed agreement also allows the County to grant a lesser incentive to the airline; the current agreement credits an airline’s landing fees and gate charges, the revised agreement gives the County discretion to grant landing fees only in cases where the economic impact is deemed lesser. Additionally, the prior agreement has been replaced with two (2) separate agreements to handle Domestic and International flights individually for purposes of clarity. Countywide (LMB)
