3.         CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

 

A.        ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a six (6) month time extension of a federally funded subgrant agreement with the Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) to complete the design of drainage improvements as part of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.  SUMMARY:  FEMA has approved a Phase I grant in the amount of $48,750 for the design of a drainage system serving the Grove Street area located along Military Trail between Southern Boulevard and Belvedere Road.  The Grant requires a 25% cost share with the County, meaning the total design cost is $65,000.  Additionally, a Phase II grant for the construction of the drainage facilities has been approved contingent upon the Cost-Benefit ratio meeting FEMA's requirements after the completion of the design.  The Phase II approval will be brought back to the Commission at the conclusion of the Phase I contract.  Due to the long amount of time it took to receive FEMA approval for the Phase I project, a six (6) month extension to complete the project design work was requested and granted from DEM.  District 6  (MJ)

 

 

2.         Staff recommends motion to: 

 

A)  adopt Resolution authorizing the conveyance of a 1999 Ford E350 passenger van to the Palm Beach Recovery Coalition, Inc.;

 

B)  approve Agreement establishing the terms of the conveyance with Palm Beach Recovery Coalition, Inc.;

 

C)  approve a Budget Transfer of $5,335 in the Transportation Improvement Fund from Reserve for District 6 to the Cabana Colony – Local Drainage; and

 

D)  approve a Budget Transfer of $5,335 in the Capital Outlay Fund from Cabana Colony – Local Drainage to Ford E350 Van / Palm Beach Recovery Coalition – District 6.

 

SUMMARY:  These actions will result in the conveyance of a passenger van that is no longer needed by the County, to a not-for-profit organization known as the Palm Beach Recovery Coalition, Inc. for a nominal sum of one (1) dollar.  The Recovery Coalition operates emergency shelter facilities and provides substance abuse treatment and support counseling for individuals suffering from homelessness and addiction-related disorders.  The budget transfers increase the gas tax support and decrease the ad valorem support for the Cabana Colony Drainage Project, freeing up ad valorem funds that will be used to reimburse Fleet Management for the value of the van.  Commissioner Santamaria has requested that the van be conveyed to the Recovery Coalition.  District 6  (MRE)

 

 

                        3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: a First Amendment to the Development Regions Round X Grant Agreement (R2006-1172) with the City of Riviera Beach to extend the term of the Agreement an additional six (6) calendar months.  SUMMARY:  On June 20, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Grant Agreement for the City of Riviera Beach (R2006-1172) for the business projects; Stinson Industries, Inc. d/b/a Stephen Brothers Funeral Home, Venture Marine, Inc. (completed) and Westside Barber Shop. This Amendment will allow for extension of the construction reimbursement deadline due to a delay caused by a previous illness and financial difficulties; and extension of the hiring deadline and job maintenance requirements according to the project’s deadline.  All projects are located in the "Acute" (35% or greater poverty) area of the Development Regions and the two (2) remaining projects are ready to be completed.  District 7  (DW)

5.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  Amendment No. 4 to the Contract for consulting/professional services with Langton Associates, Inc. (R2004-0180) for services related to Palm Beach County’s Grant Development Program for the period of February 1, 2008, through April 30, 2008, in the amount of $21,537.42.  SUMMARY: On February 3, 2004, the Board approved a consulting/professional services contract with Langton Associates, Inc. for the term of February 1, 2004, through January 31, 2005 for a total contract amount of $78,140, to provide grant program development services.  Amendment No. 1 approved on February 1, 2005 extended the term an additional one (1) year period and increased the annual amount by 5%.  Amendment No. 2 approved on February 7, 2006 extended the term an additional one (1) year period.  Amendment No. 3 approved on February 6, 2007 extended the term an additional one (1) year period and increased the annual amount by 5%.
