9. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution authorizing the County
Administrator or his designee to approve adjustments to rental rates for
properties within the County’s Airports System, which will become effective
upon adoption. SUMMARY: Rental rates for properties within the
County’s Airports System (Airport Properties) are generally adjusted every
three (3) years based on Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. The majority of leases for Airport Properties
provide for an adjustment to rental rates every three (3) years based on the
fair market rental value of the property as determined by appraisal, a
percentage change in the Consumer Price Index or a combination of both. Although the majority of the lease agreements
for Airport Properties specifically provide the method for adjusting rental
rates, some of the older lease agreements require a resolution or other action
of the Board prior to the new rental rates becoming effective. The Resolution authorizes the County
Administrator or his designee to approve rental rate adjustments in accordance
with applicable provisions of any lease agreement approved by the Board or
executed by the County Administrator or his designee pursuant to a delegation
of signature authority. Countywide (AH)
10. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a Resolution authorizing the County
Administrator or his designee to terminate lease and concession agreements
managed by the Department of Airports for certain defaults and authorizing the
County Attorney to initiate appropriate legal action, if necessary, as a result
of the termination of such agreements. SUMMARY: Termination of lease or concession agreements
for default typically requires Board approval.
In the event a tenant or concessionaire fails to vacate the leased
premises after termination of its agreement with the County, legal action may
become necessary. In order to expedite
the process of removing tenants and concessionaires in default of their
agreements with the County and collecting unpaid rentals, fees and charges,
staff is requesting the Board to authorize the County Administrator or his
designee to terminate lease and concession agreements on behalf of the County
for certain defaults, including failure to pay rental, charges and fees when
due. The Resolution would also authorize
the County Attorney to initiate appropriate legal proceedings without further
Board action to remove tenants and concessionaires in default, which may
include eviction proceeding and claims for unpaid rent. Countywide (AH)

B) a Bill of Sale conveying the County’s interest in the Records Storage Building to Shiraz, Inc.
Summary: On February 7, 2006 (R2006-0273), the Board approved an Amendment to Lease Agreement which implemented a settlement of the apportionment of condemnation award in the condemnation lawsuit between FDOT, the County and Shiraz involving the widening of Southern Boulevard in front of the County’s Airport Center Complex. The Amendment to Lease Agreement requires the County to transfer ownership of the former Records Storage Building to Shiraz upon vacation thereof by the County and payment by Shiraz of $327,000. As the County has now vacated the Records Storage/Health Club Building, this Second Amendment adds the Records Storage Building into the hotel’s leased premises and the Bill of Sale transfers title to the Records Storage Building. Shiraz will pay $327,000 to the County upon approval of the Second Amendment.

(R92-1853D) with Florida Power & Light (FP&L) for electrical service in
connection with upgrades at the PBSO K-9 facility in Okeeheelee South/Cholee
Park. Summary: On December 8, 1992, the County granted a
Utility Easement Agreement to FPL to provide electrical service to the PBSO’s
K-9 facility located just east of the Florida Turnpike within Okeeheelee
South/Cholee Park. Due to the proposed
expansion of the K-9 facility, an additional easement is required by FPL prior
to installation of the electrical service to the new facilities. While
reviewing this new easement, it was discovered that the original Easement
Agreement did not correctly describe the location of FPL’s existing poles, and
this Amendment corrects the legal description.
The easement area varies from 10-12' wide and runs along the northern
and western portions of the property to the proposed buildings on the southern
end of the property for a total of approximately 24,172 sq. ft. (.55
acres). This Amendment to Utility

B) approve a Deposit Receipt and Contract for Sale and Purchase with Dinesh Desai and Champa Desai for the sale of 0.065 acres of land in Jupiter; and
C) approve a County Deed in favor of Dinesh Desai and Champa Desai.
Summary: On April 24, 1990, the Board accepted the donation of approximately .15 acres of vacant land located along the Intracoastal Waterway approximately ½ mile south of Indiantown Road behind the Best Western Intracoastal Inn. Prior to the donation of the property to the County, the hotel’s previous owners had constructed a pool, pool deck and a wooden dock which encroached onto a portion of the donated property. Additionally, a portion of the property is encumbered with a perpetual easement in favor of the Town of Jupiter for construction of a pedestrian boardwalk which will provide public access to the Intracoastal Waterway as part of the Riverwalk project. The Desais are fully cooperating with this project and have agreed to remove the wooden dock and terminate the existing State Submerged Lands Lease. The remaining improvements (pool and deck) encroach on .065 acres. Staff obtained an appraisal which valued the property at $170,000 ($60/sq. ft.; rounded to $170,000). As the Desais are the only adjacent property owner to this .065-acre portion of the County-owned property, Florida Statutes Section 125.35(2) allows for a negotiated sale to the Desais. Closing is anticipated to occur within thirty (30) days of Board approval. The County will retain mineral and petroleum rights in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 270.11, without rights of entry and exploration. The sale of this property will lessen the County’s potential liability and maintenance responsibilities and will resolve the hotel’s encroachment issues. (PREM) District 1 (HJF)

SUMMARY: On May 10, 2004, the County entered into Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (SDA No. 02-01087-000) with Coral Lakes Apartments, Inc. (Coral Lakes) for reservation of potable water and wastewater capacity for a small commercial project. Coral Lakes subsequently modified their project and on August 31, 2006, entered into another Standard Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreement (SDA No. 02-01113-000) to reserve potable water and wastewater capacity for a 180 unit apartment complex. Both SDAs required payment of a Mandatory Agreement Payment (MAP) based on the reserved potable water and wastewater capacity. As Coral Lakes proceeded through the development process the project’s units were reduced to from 180 to 169. Staff recommends Board approval of a refund of the MAP associated with the reduction of the 11 units in the amount of $3,721.08. District 3 (MJ)

Agreement for Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance received
during the month of May 2007 with Moon
Lake Master Homeowners Association.
SUMMARY: On March 14,
2006, the Board of County Commissioners delegated the authority to execute
Emergency Generator Purchase, Operation and Maintenance Agreements (Agreements)
to the County Administrator or his designee.
The County Administrator has delegated this approval to the Palm
Beach County Water Utilities Department
Director. These Agreements provide
property owners with the ability to donate funds to purchase emergency generators
for lift stations located within their community. The Department will assign the community its
generator(s), locate the generator(s) on-site during hurricane season, and
operate and maintain the generator(s) during emergencies. By executing such Agreements, the Department
is able to expedite its goal of providing a higher level of emergency response
service throughout its service area. Power
outages that occur during hurricanes and other emergencies require the
Department to operate a system of emergency generators at wastewater pump
stations to prevent wastewater from backing up into streets, swales, and
residents’ homes. Due to the great
number of lift stations and limited staffing resources, the Department is not
able to place an emergency generator at every lift station. These Agreements will increase the number of
generators available to the Department during emergencies. Countywide (MJ)

SUMMARY: FDOT District 4 has included the Wakodahatchee to Green Cay Wetlands Trail planning study in their fiscal year 2008 budget. This project will serve as part of a regional greenway trail while providing visitors scenic wetland views, access to the Green Cay nature center along with parking and restroom facilities. The County will be fully reimbursed as the cost to complete the planning study is $59,917 which is less than the Agreement not-to-exceed amount of $60,000. (WUD Project No. 07-110) District 5 (MJ)

B) approve a Budget Transfer of $75,000 from reserves within the Environmental Enhancement Fund to recognize the disbursement authorized by the above Resolution.
Summary: With BCC
approval, the $75,000 will be used to cover the costs of removing dead limbs
that have accumulated within the mangrove ditches as a result of the aftermath
of recent hurricanes. These limbs have
significantly impeded the flow of tidal water resulting in stagnate water
conditions. The removal of deadfall will result in improvements to the water
flows and water quality as well as increase the overall benefits of the
mangroves within the Highland Beach Mangrove Preserve. This is an appropriate

motion to adopt: a Resolution
of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, authorizing
funds to support a study to characterize the emissions from sugar cane burning
in order to establish air toxic emission factors. SUMMARY: The Health
Department’s air pollution control program received a special federal award
