After FY 2004, MIEF has decided not to request additional County funding to carry on the Marine Technology Academy Program. During the 12-month Grant Agreement MIEF will: A) reorganize the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior year marine technology lesson plans for the 2004/5 school year to accommodate a shortage in the hours of training allowed by the School District; B) prepare students for the June 2004 Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) National Competition, scheduled in Boston, MA, in which they will present an ROV designed and fabricated by them; C) coordinate with the marine industry employers to develop the students’ performance outcome for the 6-month On-The-Job-Training (OJT) Program and with the Workforce Development Board to secure training positions for graduating senior students ; D) hold the First Annual Job Fair and Employment Forum to bring industry employers and students together, to attract Marine Academy students to the OJT Post-Secondary Marine Apprenticeship Program and to present student awards; E) complete the development of the Marine Industry Employment website; F) coordinate with Channel 20 for the creation of a 15- minute video about the Marine Technology Academy; and G) continue to market the Marine Technology Academy. All FY 2003 grant goals were accomplished as follows: 1) improved and adapted the junior and senior curriculums to use the floating classroom; 2) marketed the marine program to all eighth graders in the School District; 3) structured a 6-month state- subsidized OJT Program instead of developing an apprenticeship program for each vocational discipline, for the benefit of both post-secondary students and marine employers; and 4) developed the basic structure, content and design of the Marine Industry employment website.

SUMMARY: The City of Boynton Beach has requested the conveyance of three (3) parcels of surplus County property located within their jurisdiction which the County acquired by tax deeds within the past year.

10. APPROVED Staff recommends motion to approve: the Projects and related Project Budgets for public artworks to be funded through the Recreational and Cultural Bond Issue. SUMMARY: In November 2002, the voters of Palm Beach County approved the passage of the Recreational and Cultural Bond Issue of which Commissioners Roberts/Koons identified One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars for public art projects to be sited throughout Palm Beach County. At the Committee for Public Art meetings in January - March 2003 the Committee discussed criteria development for public art projects funded by the Bond. The key siting criteria were high visibility to foster an interest in public art projects, diversity in medium and type of artwork and geographic equity. In April and May, the Committee toured more than 20 sites in the north, south, central and western sectors of the County and discussed potential public art projects at each of the sites. In October 2003, the Committee considered five (5) categories of public art projects and by unanimous consent recommended eight (8) public art projects and associated project budgets which are identified in the background and justification.

K. WATER UTILITIES
1. APPROVED R-2004-0104 THROUGH R-2004-105 Staff recommends motion to approve: Potable Water and Wastewater Development Agreements with Greyhawk, a Florida joint venture, and Slabbage Group, L.L., Inc. SUMMARY: Greyhawk and Slabbage Group own adjoining properties at the southeast intersection of Lyons and Lantana Roads. While these properties have existing potable water and wastewater Standard Development Agreements (02-01010-000 and 05-01036-000, respectively), updated agreements are now needed to provide reimbursement for more stringent groundwater de-watering requirements in the vicinity of the Lantana Landfill, and also to address the Department’s need for oversized off-site water and wastewater pipeline improvements. Special precautions must be taken during the construction de-watering process to ensure that groundwater beneath the landfill does not migrate offsite. With the smaller 8-inch waterline previously required to serve these two developments, this would not have resulted in additional expense. However, a 42-inch water main is needed to meet Departmental system-wide needs, therefore requiring a much deeper excavation and more de-watering. The Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual (UPAP) contains standard provisions for credit/cash reimbursement for oversized pipeline facilities; however, the UPAP does not specifically address the unique environmental conditions which are specific to this location. Staff recommends providing cash reimbursements of $66,400 to Greyhawk and $50,000 to the Slabbage Group to cover the additional de-watering costs. All other oversizing credit/cash provisions in the Agreements are in strict accordance with the UPAP as previously adopted by the Board (R2003-539). District 3 (MJ)

The pipeline cannot be placed in the Lyons Road right-of-way due to special dewatering requirements related to the former Lantana Landfill. The $39,000 cost is based upon a certified appraisal. The Agreement also provides for the dedication of utility easements for the existing water and wastewater pipelines on the Woodlands Middle School site which were not previously granted to the County.

SUMMARY: Change Order No. 4 authorizes the contractor to provide the materials, equipment and labor necessary to perform miscellaneous civil, electrical and mechanical modifications to the existing and new water supply wells included in this project. During well installation and rehabilitation activities, various latent conditions were encountered that required field modification to the original design. In addition to addressing these changes, this change order also includes the installation of raw water meters and associated appurtenances now required by the South Florida Water Management District.

SUMMARY: Change Order No. 22 decreases the contract price to reflect the difference between actual prices obtained and the contract allowances provided for a raw water blend meter and a 16-inch automatic control valve. This Change Order also revises the Phase II Substantial Completion date to January 28, 2004, and the Phase II Final Completion date to February 27, 2004 to adjust for 74 days time lost due to rain days, and latent asbestos and lime sludge that had to be removed. The total change orders to date, including this change order, have increased the original contract price from $28,205,000 to $29,715,379.50 (5.35% increase).

8. ADOPTED R-2004-0112 Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution revising the Water Utilities Department’s Uniform Policies and Procedures Manual (UPAP). SUMMARY: The UPAP is a codification of the Department's fees, standards, legal documents, policies and procedures governing the provision of potable water, reclaimed water, and wastewater services. The Department performs a review of the UPAP from time to time to ensure the continued effective and efficient delivery of utility services. The proposed revisions include providing two new alternative methods of obtaining utility concurrency: a Utility Concurrency Letter for proposed developments requiring ten (10) or fewer Equivalent Residential Connections with no special conditions/over-sizing requirements and a Utility Concurrency Reservation Agreement for proposed developments when the developer has a contract to purchase portions of the affected property. These concurrency changes are being made at the request of the County’s Development Review Oversight Committee and will serve to streamline existing concurrency processes. A new Deferred Capital Cost Recovery Program is also being established to provide an alternate cost recovery methodology for use when the Department installs wastewater pipelines to serve existing commercial and industrial areas. This program will be applicable only to areas where 50% support for a special assessment has not been achieved and where at least 50% of the properties would be required to connect to the wastewater lines under the provisions of Environmental Control Rule I within one year of pipeline installation. Other changes include adding and deleting products from the Approved Materials and Equipment List, revising certain design and construction standards, and providing that Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans for affected public roads be approved by County Engineering and that re- scheduling of construction activity within a road right-of-way may be required at any time. No Customer fees are being changed. The revised design and construction standards will be applicable to construction plans submitted for review after the approval date of the revised UPAP. The Water Utilities Advisory Board has reviewed and supports the proposed changes. Countywide (MJ)

2. APPROVED R-2004-0117 Staff recommends motion to approve: Mitigation Bank Agreement with the School Board of Palm Beach County, Florida (School Board), concerning the establishment of a Conservation and Mitigation Area. SUMMARY: The School Board is required to comply with the Unified Land Development Code concerning the preservation and protection of native vegetation. The preservation of vegetation often requires a set-aside of a preserve or mitigation of native vegetation which cannot be completely preserved in place or relocated onsite. The Mitigation Bank Agreement provides a method for the School Board to set aside land owned by the School Board to be placed under a conservation easement and draw down credits against the bank as new projects are approved for permit. The School Board is still responsible for maintaining as much native vegetation as possible onsite and then utilizing the bank as a last resort. Countywide (ND)

3. Staff recommends motion to:
A) DELETED accept three (3) Assignments of Option to Purchase from The Conservation Fund, as Trustee of the Conservation Fund Charitable Trust (TCF) for acquisition of approximately 50 acres of land in the Agricultural Reserve from West Boynton Farms, Inc., a Florida Corporation, at a total purchase price of $1,023,432.25, subject to satisfactory results of pre-closing due diligence;
B) DELETED approve the expenditure of up to $1,100,433 from the 2001 $75M General Obligation Conservation Land Acquisition Fund (3002) for the purchase of the three properties consisting of approximately 50 acres, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Agreements for Sale and Purchase, as amended (Agreements);
C) DELETED approve TCF’s fee estimated at $10,235 for the acquisition of the properties, which is one percent (1%) of the total purchase price, pursuant to TCF’s agreement (R99-957D) with the County; and,
D) DELETED approve Budget Transfer of $1,100,433 in the $75M General Obligation Conservation Land 2001 Bond Fund (3002) from Reserves (9900) to the Agricultural Reserve Project Account (E500) to provide for the purchase of the properties and for TCF's fee for its acquisition services, closing and miscellaneous costs, and a portion of the capital site preparation work and staff time to administer the program relating to this property.
SUMMARY: The property, which is owned or controlled by West Boynton Farms, Inc., is the ninth land acquisition in the Agricultural Reserve with funds from the 1999 Lands for Conservation Purposes bond referendum. This property is comprised of three parcels (10-acre Woskob parcel, 20-acre North King parcel, and 20-acre South King parcel, collectively known as the West Boynton Farms, Inc. property) totaling approximately 50 acres that are located west of State Road 7 and North of Boynton Beach Boulevard. The parcels being acquired are a mixture of undeveloped land with cypress wetlands, and overgrown, neglected in-ground nursery stock. The South King parcel will be acquired subject to a lease with Woodlands Botanicals, Inc. that will be assigned to the County at closing. The lease rental payments are $0 and the lease expires April 22, 2004. Purchase of the West Boynton Farms, Inc. property is the first transaction to involve acquiring parcels in the Agricultural Reserve that have had development rights removed from the property and transferred to another location as part of a 60/40 development. The seller reserves the right to use these parcels as an Agricultural Reserve Preserve and the County (AGR-PUD) agrees to sign, within 10 days of written requests from the seller, any such applications and consents that will enable the seller to apply for all governmental and regulatory approvals and permits necessary for the seller to create its AGR- PUD. The purpose for the acquisition of these parcels is for the County to gain control of the restoration potential these parcels provide. Acquisition of these parcels is for water resources purposes and the properties will be managed by the Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) as part of a restoration effort to convert these parcels, in conjunction with adjoining County-owned parcels, back to wetlands. It is only possible to do this if the County controls the properties. This acquisition is consistent with both Board direction to give highest priority to the purchase of lands west of Highway 441, and the Palm Beach County Agricultural Reserve Master Plan.

B) APPROVED receive and file Change Orders No. 61 through 102, previously approved by the JIS Policy Board, totaling $76,125 for the Justice Information System applications.
SUMMARY: Per Board Resolution No. R98-1541, contract Change Orders exceeding the cumulative amount of $100,000 must be referred to the Board of County Commissioners for approval, following approval by the JIS Policy Board. Change Order No. 103 causes the $100,000 limit to be exceeded, and therefore requires Board approval. However, the January 2004 deadline stipulated by the State for this change to case numbering required that code development begin immediately. As such, the Director of ISS authorized an emergency requisition. The Board is now asked to confirm this purchase of services. Because the modification is to a JIS application which is in use, the budget for this Change Order will be provided by the Clerk of Court.

C. OFFICE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
1. APPROVED DENIAL W / DIRECTION Staff recommends motion to deny: a reduction in taxable property assessments for parent/grandparent living quarters.

Staff has previously recommended that the Board not authorize this assessment reduction for the following reasons: A) The implementing legislation lacks clear definitions for qualifying improvements; B) There is a potential for greater benefit to owners of highly valued properties as compared to lower valued properties; C) The program does not provide the same benefit to a senior who wishes to make modifications to his/her own home as that which would be available to the child/grandchild of a senior; D) Staff believes that it would be difficult to monitor/interpret the provisions of the proposition, and that there would be a potential for abuse; and E) There is a lack of data on which to accurately estimate the cost to county and other taxing agencies.
