Fire Rescue has reviewed potential options to reconfigure its space with Palms West and is comfortable that it can accommodate Palms West, if requested. The annual rental rate of $140,137.50, subject to annual increases of five percent (5%), represents an approximately 23% increase from the current rate, but is equal to the rent paid by Palms West to the owner of the shopping center.

SUMMARY: Palm Beach County receives annual allocations from the State of Florida through the SHIP Program to implement various affordable housing programs and other related activities. For Fiscal Year 2006-2007, Palm Beach County was scheduled to receive $6,842,196 in SHIP funding. However, Palm Beach County received an additional $1,933,283 for a total allocation of $8,775,479. In August of 2005, the CAH Advisory Committee recommended that the additional funds be allocated to the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Purchase Assistance Program to eligible applicants who are experiencing difficulties in financing the increased construction cost associated with the replacement of their dilapidated homes. To effectively serve the special needs, homeowners whose homes are beyond repair, an increase in the maximum award from $20,000 to $50,000 is absolutely imperative. Countywide (TKF)

A) a waiver of County policy that prohibits the County from paying State costs and attorney’s fees in a dispute; and

B) a Sovereign Submerged Lands Easement (Easement) granted by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida for offshore sand borrow area for the Ocean Ridge Shore Protection Project, effective September 19, 2005.

SUMMARY: The first renourishment of the Ocean Ridge Shore Protection Project was completed on December 5, 2005. Use of sand from State waters required an Easement.

2. Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No. 3 to the Master Services Agreement (MSA) and Volume & Term Attachment with BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. to extend this agreement through June 30, 2009. SUMMARY: The Master Services Agreement (MSA) and Volume & Term Attachment with BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc.

B) a Budget Amendment of $478,993 to recognize loan proceeds and to adjust acquisition funding in the Information Technology Capital Improvements Fund; and

C) a Budget Amendment of $107,294 to recognize transfers from the Information Technology Capital Improvements Fund and establish debt service budget in the Information Systems Services Fund.

SUMMARY: This Supplement to the IBM Master ICA (R94-247D) will provide for an adjustment in the enterprise (mainframe) computing capabilities provided for the County. The current enterprise computing equipment has been in use since 2000. The requirements of this computing platform have been steadily reduced, though not eliminated, over the past few years. Because of the decreased demand, the capacity of the system can likewise be downsized. The County still uses the mainframe server for jobs such as the County payroll and human resource systems and other mainframe based applications. The smaller IBM system will significantly reduce the operating costs and computer room resources (power, HVAC, etc.) required to operate this system. Partial funding was approved in the FY 2006 capital project budget in anticipation of this purchase. Countywide (PFK)

The operating costs of mass transit to the Lakes Region include operating, maintenance, and administrative costs. This is the maximum amount of FDOT operating assistance available to Palm Beach County for FY2007 for mass transit services. The grant application for $365,304 requires 50% local match ($182,652 State, $182,652 local funds). Palm Beach County provides the local funding from the local option gas tax. Grant and match are included in the FY 2007 budget. District 6 (DR)

A) approve the Federal FY 2007 Certifications and Assurances to be used in connection with all Federal assistance programs Federal Transit Administration (FTA) administers during Federal Fiscal Year 2007, as required by 49 U.S.C. 5323(n); and

B) authorize Palm Tran’s Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director, through the County Administrator, to execute and file the required certifications and assurances, on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners and to electronically transmit the Board’s approval.

SUMMARY: Selecting and submitting certifications and assurances to FTA, either through FTA’s Transportation Electronic Award and Management (TEAM) system or submission of the Signature Page, signifies the County’s intent to comply with the requirements of those certifications and assurances to the extent they apply to a program for which the County submits an application for assistance in Federal Fiscal Year 2007. FTA requires a current (Federal Fiscal Year 2007) attorney’s affirmation of the applicant’s legal authority to certify compliance with the funding obligations in this document; the attorney’s signature from a previous year is not acceptable.

Before FTA may award a Federal grant or cooperative agreement, the applicant must provide to FTA all certifications and assurances pertaining to itself or its project as required by Federal laws and regulations. The requisite certifications and assurances must be submitted to FTA irrespective of whether the project is financed under the authority of 49 U.S.C.

3. Staff recommends motion to approve: special bus route service to the 2007 South Florida Fair for the period January 12 through January 28, 2007. SUMMARY: The South Florida Fair has requested that Palm Tran provide bus service to transport passengers to the 2007 Fair. Services would include: 1) an express route operating on Saturdays and Sundays from Palm Beach Central High School to the Fair; 2) a route from the Mangonia Park Tri-Rail Station to the Fair on Monday, January 15, Martin Luther King Jr. Day; and 3) operating route service on six (6) weekdays, especially designed to transport senior citizens from pre-designated origins to and from the Fair.

Palm Tran is afforded a prime location at the Fair. This has proved invaluable in marketing Palm Tran services to the fair attendees. Staff recommends that Palm Tran provide this service as a way to promote usage of Palm Tran’s regular fixed route services to new passengers. Any potential excess cost would be absorbed through the existing Palm Tran budget. The anticipated costs are summarized on Attachment A “Proposed 2007 Fair Schedule and Cost Estimate” of the Agenda Item. Countywide (DR)

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Budget Transfer of $25,000 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for donations to support the drug abuse prevention/education efforts of a local non-profit organization.

A) consider options and provide Board direction regarding funding and various policy issues for the Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU), and also the direction for the MSTU Program; and

B) refer back to staff or adopt the recommended listing of the Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) projects to be accomplished with the current funds available.

SUMMARY: County staff came before the Board at the April 25, 2006 workshop meeting, and identified for the Board the multi-million dollar shortfall facing the MSTU program. Prior to this, meetings were held to discuss the future of the MSTU Program with related County Departments that interact with the MSTU projects and funds to accomplish their objective. These groups include Planning Zoning and Building (PZ&B), Office of Community Revitalization (OCR), Housing & Community Development (HCD), Commission on Affordable Housing (CAH), and the Water Utilities Department (WUD). The strong consensus of the group was that the MSTU Program should receive new funding on an on-going basis. The recommendation was to provide $5,000,000 per year for the next three (3) years to cover the shortfalls and increasing construction prices. These additional funds would be for the regular MSTU project , plus the proposed MSTU projects. There would also have been additional funding for other projects that may be the result of policy direction from this Board. While the Board put $3,000,000 in the Program at that time, no on-going committed funding was identified. This issue is further discussed later. Countywide (PFK)
