3.         CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL

 

 

A.        ADMINISTRATION

 

1.         Staff recommends motion to approve:  a six (6) month time extension of a federally funded subgrant agreement ending June 27, 2008 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 costs are $65,000.  Additionally, a Phase II grant for 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 contact.  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 approve: Amendment No.1 to Agreement R2006-1168 with the City of Belle Glade to: a) extend the expiration date from February 20, 2010, to February 20, 2011; and b) revise Exhibit A to the agreement.  SUMMARY:  On June 20, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Grant Agreement with the City of Belle Glade (R2006-1168) for three (3) economic development projects, Downtown Mainstreet Plaza, Lake Welding Supplies, Inc. and Modern Beauty Salon UNISEX.  One (1) project, Downtown Mainstreet, has been completed.  The remaining two (2) projects, Lake Welding Supplies, Inc. and Modern Beauty Salon UNISEX, completed their developments without the need for County funds totaling $18,900.  This Amendment will allow for the reallocation of the $18,900 to facilitate renovations of the old (historic) city hall building and a twelve-month extension for the construction reimbursement deadline, the hiring deadline and job maintenance period for the project.  The total project cost is $381,400, of which $362,500 is a Florida Cultural Facilities grant and $18,900 is County funds.  The project will create a total of four (4) full-time or equivalent jobs and is located in the "Core" (20% or greater poverty) area of the Development Regions.  District 6  (DW)   

 

 

                        3.         Staff recommends motion to approve: Amendment No.1 to Agreement (R2006-1169) with the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to: a) extend the term of the expiration date from February 20, 2010, to February 20, 2011; and b) revise Exhibit A to the agreement.  SUMMARY:  On June 20, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Grant Agreement with the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (R2006-1169) for three (3) economic development projects; City Limits (SCRAM LLC), Dental Office of Jonathan Freed, DDS, and BADI d/b/a Community Market Store and Hammad Plaza.  City Limits (SCRAM LLC) has been completed.  The Dental Office of Jonathan Freed, DDS, did not want to proceed with its project.  The remaining project, BADI d/b/a Community Market Store and Hammad Plaza, experienced delays due to a project size and cost increase which is now moving forward and is in the final permitting phase.  This Amendment will allow for a twelve-month extension to the construction reimbursement deadline, the hiring deadline and job maintenance period for the BADI project, and eliminate the $50,000 earmarked for the Dental Office of Jonathan Freed, DDS.  All projects are located in the "Core" (20% or greater poverty) area of the Development Regions.  District 7  (DW)

This Amendment will allow for a twelve (12) month extension to the existing agreement and a revision in the project.  These are federal funds that require no local match.  District 3  (DW)
