3C6

*REVISED SUMMARY / (ENG) / SUMMARY: Adoption of the Resolution
approving the Agreement is required for FDOT to acquire the right of way along
Hagen Ranch Road and Jog Road that is necessary for the Project to widen
Atlantic Avenue, construct new drainage, bike lanes, sidewalks, medians, and
traffic signals on Hagen Ranch Road and Jog Road at the intersections with
Atlantic Avenue. Hagen Ranch Road and Jog Road are owned and maintained
by Palm Beach County (County). The acquired right of way will be transferred
to the County after construction of the Project is completed. The Project will be
constructed by FDOT. Sections 25 and 26 of the Agreement require broader
indemnification by the County than approved by County PPM CW-F-049. The
Agreement requires the County to indemnify FDOT for any violations by the
County during right-of-way acquisition and its related activities. All right-of-way
acquisition is being done by FDOT. The Risk Management Department and the
County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the indemnification requirements for the
Agreement and advised staff accordingly. Given that the liability is limited to the
County’s non-compliance with right-of-way acquisition and statutory caps of
Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff recommends approval by the Board of
County Commissioners (BCC). District 5 (YBH)

A) adopt a Resolution approving a Right of Way Acquisition Memorandum of
Agreement (Agreement) with the State of Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) for the construction of improvements on State Road (SR) 806/Atlantic
Avenue from Florida’s Turnpike to Cumberland Drive and from Cumberland Drive to
Jog Road (Project); and
B) approve the Agreement with the FDOT for the Project.
SUMMARY: Adoption of the Resolution approving the Agreement is required for
FDOT to acquire the right of way along Hagen Ranch Road and Jog Road that is
necessary for the Project to widen Atlantic Avenue, construct new drainage, bike lanes,
sidewalks, medians, and traffic signals on Hagen Ranch Road and Jog Road at the
intersections with Atlantic Avenue. Hagen Ranch Road and Jog Road are owned and
maintained by Palm Beach County (County). The acquired right of way will be
transferred to the County after construction of the Project is completed. The Project
will be constructed by FDOT. Sections 25 and 26 of the Agreement require broader
indemnification by the County than approved by County PPM CW-F-049. The
Agreement requires the County to indemnify FDOT for any violations by the County
during right-of-way acquisition and its related activities. All right-of-way acquisition is
being done by FDOT. The Risk Management Department and the County Attorney’s
Office have reviewed the indemnification requirements for the Agreement and advised
staff accordingly. Given that the liability is limited to the County’s non-compliance with
right-of-way acquisition and statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff
recommends approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). District 5 (YBH)

construction administration services Contract (R2018-0917) with Leo A. Daly LLC
(Consultant) in the amount of $260,105.50 for the Main County Courthouse (MCCH)
Build-Out Renovations (Project). SUMMARY: On June 19, 2018, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the Contract (R2018-0917) with the Consultant for
professional architectural/engineering design and construction administration services
for the Project. CSA No. 5 authorized design and construction administration services
for the build-out of approximately 100,000 square feet of existing finished shell space
located on the first, seventh, and eighth floors of the MCCH located at 205 N. Dixie
Hwy in West Palm Beach. Supplement No. 1 to CSA No. 5 will authorize the
Consultant to provide additional services to include reprogramming the seventh and
eighth floors; redesign of court administration spaces, reprogramming of the first floor
to accommodate end user occupancy changes; engineering and design for the addition
of a restroom, addition of an Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI)/ Electronic
Services and Security (ESS) technology equipment room; and supplemental
mechanical scope not included in the original project requirements. The seventh and
eighth floor reprogramming will reduce construction costs and minimize disruption to
the occupants on the sixth floor. The redesign of the court administration spaces will
better accommodate changes requested by court administration. The first-floor
reprogramming and redesign are required by the State Attorney to reallocate its
designated office space between the Public Defender’s Office and Guardian ad Litem.
This redesign resulted in the addition of a restroom and a new OTI/ESS technology
closet. The additional mechanical scope of work is required to design the replacement
of the existing Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) air handler, which was
to be completed as part of a separate courthouse project but has been incorporated
into this project to avoid overlapping and potentially conflicting construction activities.
The Contract was advertised according to the County’s prior Small Business Enterprise
(SBE) program and a 15% SBE subcontracting goal was established. The Consultant
committed to 25% SBE participation for the life of the Contract. For this Supplement
No. 1 to CSA No. 5, the proposed SBE participation is 23.26%. To date, the overall
SBE participation achieved on this Contract is 35.20%. Funding for this Project is from

SUMMARY: On January 14, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approved the annual minor construction services contracts (R2025-0081 through
R2025-0083). The work consists of minor construction services associated with repairs,
improvements, and renovations to County-owned properties on an as-needed basis.
The contractors now join the list of 25 prequalified contractors for a total of 32
prequalified contractors with a contract expiration date of January 13, 2030. The
specific requirements of the work will be determined by individual work orders issued
against this annual minor construction services contract. These contracts have a
maximum cumulative value of $25,000,000 across all prequalified contractors. Work
will be awarded as work orders on a lump-sum, competitively bid basis across all
prequalified contractors. Contractors may qualify at any time and be added to this
annual minor construction services contract before the term ends. Projects less than
$150,000 are bid among the pool of prequalified contractors. Projects $150,000 or
greater are advertised on the vendor self-service (VSS) website and are bid among the
pool of prequalified contractors while projects $200,000 or greater are additionally
advertised in the newspaper. The bidding pool is further expanded, for projects
$150,000 or greater, to include additional bidders responding to the specific project
advertisement that submit a qualification application at least ten (10) calendar days
before the bid due date. The Project located at 9060 Indiantown Road in Jupiter,
consists of the removal of the existing round metal culverts which are deteriorated and
in poor condition. Installation of new concrete square culverts will allow for more water
capacity and the ability for kayakers to migrate between both sections of the waterway.
The Work Order authorizes turnkey construction services necessary to furnish all labor,
equipment, devices, tools, materials, transportation, professional services, supervision,
shop drawings, permitting, and all miscellaneous requirements necessary to complete
the Project. The Project includes, but is not limited to, the demolition of existing six (6)
foot diameter metal culverts and rip rap headwalls; daily removal of waste materials;
installation of new concrete headwalls and square culverts; and required canal
reshaping. This Project was competitively advertised, and new contractors were invited
to bid on the Project by submitting prequalification documents prior to the submission
of the bid response. The Contractor will have 300 calendar days from notice to proceed
to substantially complete the Project. Liquidated damages for failure to achieve
certification of substantial completion within the contract time or approved time
extension thereof are $120 per day.

R2024-0698 with Harper Court Housing, LLC modifying the Loan, the Loan
Disbursement Requirements, the Occupancy and Affordability Requirements and the

$1,611,797 in Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds
for the acquisition and rehabilitation of an unoccupied motel located at 308 N. Main
Street, Belle Glade, Florida. The project will convert the motel into 18 affordable studio
units for households earning no more than 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) ($82,250
for a two [2]-person household). Following acquisition of the property, the Borrower
experienced construction delays resulting from changes in the scope of rehabilitation
work. These delays affected the Loan Disbursement Requirements, Occupancy and
Affordability Requirements, and Construction Draw Schedule established in the Loan
Agreement. Amendment 001 (R2024-1211), executed on July 31, 2024, revised the
Construction Draw Schedule to accommodate delays resulting from changes in the
rehabilitation scope of work. Amendment 002 (R2026-0646), executed on February 6,
2026, modified the Loan Disbursement Requirements and Construction Draw Schedule
to permit periodic draw submissions, with the final draw required on or before May 30,
2026. Amendment 003 further modifies the Loan Agreement by: (1) extended the
deadline for 100% disbursement of the $1,611,797 loan and submission of the final
draw request from May 30, 2026, to June 30, 2026; (2) extended the deadline to obtain
temporary certificates of occupancy from June 30, 2026, to September 30, 2026; and
(3) extended the deadline to lease all 18 County-assisted units to within 60 days

Staff recommends motion to adopt: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA; APPROVING THE
ISSUANCE OF HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY OF PALM BEACH COUNTY,
FLORIDA, MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS (PALM PARK
APARTMENTS) IN THE NOTICED PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $27,250,000.
SUMMARY: The Bonds are being issued by the Housing Finance Authority of Palm
Beach County (Authority) to finance a portion of the costs of acquiring, rehabilitating
and equipping a multifamily rental housing facility containing approximately 160 units
for families known as Palm Park Apartments (Project). The Project is located at 12575
Green Cay Farm Boulevard, Boynton Beach, Florida 33437 in unincorporated Palm
Beach County, Florida. The Authority will require that at least 40% of these units be
rented to eligible households that do not exceed 60% of Area Median Income ($77,100
for a family of four [4] for 2026). The Borrower is Palm Park (FL) Owner LP, a Florida
limited partnership, or an affiliate thereof (Borrower), and the developer is April
Housing LLC, a subsidiary of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., or an affiliate
thereof. The Borrower has agreed to a minimum of a 30-year affordability period. The
Bonds will be payable solely from revenues derived from the Borrower and/or other
collateral provided by or on behalf of the Borrower. Bryant Miller Olive, P.A. will be
appointed Bond Counsel by the Authority with respect to the Bonds. In addition to the
Bonds, equity will be contributed from syndication of 4% Low Income Housing Tax
Credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code).
The Board of County Commissioners (BCC), by the adoption of Resolution R20260645 on June 2, 2026, previously approved the issuance of the bonds, but because of
a scrivener’s error in the 5th whereas clause of the Resolution, incorrectly stated the
date of the Authority’s public hearing to be August 8, 2025, when it should have stated
April 10, 2026. The sole purpose of this Resolution is to correct that scrivener’s error.
The resolution adopted by the Authority (R2026-10) authorizing the issuance of the
Bonds will include language substantially as follows: The County assumes no
responsibility for monitoring compliance by the Borrower of applicable federal income
tax, securities laws or other regulatory requirements. The Borrower understands and
agrees that it is responsible for monitoring its compliance with all applicable federal
income tax, federal securities law and other regulatory requirements, retaining
adequate records of such compliance, and retaining qualified counsel to respond to or
assist the Authority and the County in responding to any audit, examination or inquiry
of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Securities and Exchange Commission or
other regulatory body.

A) authorize the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) to pursue
funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Resilient
Florida Grant Program for a combined grant amount of $21,100,000 for the
following three (3) Projects:
1. Project No. 22-012 (FDEP Agreement No. 22FRP71) Western Region
Wastewater Treatment Facility (WRWWTF) Operations Building
Replacement, additional funding of $1,100,000;
2. Project No. 25-021 WRWWTF Resilient Process Improvement Design Build,
funding support of $10,000,000;
3. Project No. 25-023 Western Region North Wastewater Treatment Facility
(WRNWWTF) Resilient Process Improvement, funding support of
$10,000,000; and
B) delegate authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to sign all grant
application forms and supporting documents and complete all registration
requirements, execute the forthcoming grant agreement and all future time
extensions, task assignments, certifications, and other forms associated with the
forthcoming grant agreement and any necessary minor amendments that do not
substantially change the scope of work, terms, or conditions of the forthcoming
grant agreement.
SUMMARY: FDEP has allotted funding for Fiscal Year 2027-28 for the Resilient
Florida Grant Program to effectively address the impacts of flooding and sea level rise
that the state faces through projects that analyze and plan for vulnerabilities and
implementation projects for adaptation and mitigation. Grant applications are due to
FDEP on September 1, 2026. On February 7, 2023, the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) approved the FDEP Agreement No. 22FRP71 (R2023-0169) for
WRWWTF that is currently under construction. PBCWUD seeks supplemental funding
for additional scope to provide sufficient fire flow to the new operations building at the
WRWWTF and comply with permitting requirements. Project Nos. 25-021 and 25-023
include construction of resilient process improvements to address the risk of flooding to
these critical assets. These measures will minimize damage, facilitate faster recovery
for affected communities and reduce overall costs associated with flooding. The
requested funding will support process improvements that directly strengthen the
resilience of WRNWWTF and WRWWTF. The Projects are included in the PBCWUD
FY 2026 Budget. (PBCWUD Project Nos. 22-012, 25-021 and 25-023) District 6

A) authorize the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) to pursue
funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the
Alternative Water Supply (AWS) Fund for an amount estimated up to $8,000,000 for
the expansion of Water Treatment Plant (WTP) No. 11 Upper Floridan Aquifer
(UFA) Production Well 14 (Project); and
B) delegate authority to the County Administrator, or designee, to sign all grant
application forms and supporting documents and complete all registration
requirements, execute the forthcoming grant agreement and all future time
extensions, task assignments, certifications, and other forms associated with the
forthcoming grant agreement and any necessary minor amendments that do not
substantially change the scope of work, terms, or conditions of the forthcoming
grant agreement.
SUMMARY: The AWS Grant Program is available to local governments and nonstate
entities to help communities plan for and implement water conservation, reuse and
other water supply and water resource development projects. Grant applications are
due on September 1, 2026. WTP 11 is the sole source of drinking water for the Glades
Region, which serves the Cities of Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay. Therefore, it
is critical that WTP 11 maintain reliable and efficient treatment processes to ensure the
continuous delivery of safe drinking water. The Project consists of the construction of
three (3) UFA Production Wells (PW) (14,15,16), associated wellhead, wellsite, and the
associated raw watermain branch (RWM) connections required to convey raw water to
WTP 11. This Project will be completed in two (2) phases: Phase 1 includes
construction of PW 14 and associated RWM, and Phase 2 consists of PWs 15 and 16.
Together, the PWs will provide an additional 1,800 gallons per minute of raw water to
WTP 11 and increase operational efficiency of the wellfield. Funds are requested for

Staff recommends motion to accept: an Exclusive Utility Easement (Easement)
granted by AHC Windsor Investment, LLC (AHC Windsor) to Palm Beach County
(County) on property with the Property Control Number (PCN) 00-42-45-07-14-0010010 in the area north of Hypoluxo Rd and west of Lyons Rd., Lake Worth, Florida.
SUMMARY: The new wastewater lift station required to serve the Windsor Place
MXPD Phase 1 – Commercial development (Project), located at the northwest corner
of Hypoluxo Road and Lyons Road (PCN 00-42-45-07-14-003-0000), necessitates the
acquisition of a perpetual Easement measuring approximately 50 feet by 30 feet from
the adjacent AHC Windsor property (Property). AHC Windsor has requested
modifications to Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department's (PBCWUD) Standard
Utility Easement form. Specifically, the requested revisions grant PBCWUD
unrestricted and exclusive rights to enter upon the Property for the purpose of
operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing, and accessing the lift station and related
utility facilities. Because these modifications deviate from the County’s standard
easement language, acceptance by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is
required. The lift station will initially provide wastewater service to the Windsor Place
MXPD Phase 1 – Commercial development and is planned to ultimately accommodate
wastewater flows from the AHC Windsor property as it develops. The proposed
easement rights are necessary to ensure uninterrupted access to and operation of this
critical public wastewater infrastructure. (PBCWUD Project No. 24-547) District 6

of Greenacres requested changes to the Agreement limiting its indemnification
requirements in accordance with Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. This limitation
language is consistent with Countywide PPM CW-F-049. This non-standard language
requires BCC approval as it differs from the approved SDA form. The Property Owner
has paid a Mandatory Agreement Payment in the amount of $27,853.73, which is equal
to 12 months of Guaranteed Revenue Fees. District 3 (MWJ)

(Contract). SUMMARY: On January 14, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC) approved the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD)
Contract with Parsons (R2025-0092). The Contract provides consulting/professional
services to assist with the implementation of the PBCWUD 2025-2030 Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP), which includes new capital projects and repair and
replacement projects that are being developed as part of the PBCWUD Asset
Management Program. The Amendment will remove Ardurra Group, Inc. and add
Brown and Caldwell (Corporation) as a subconsultant to provide additional resources to
support the implementation of CIP projects. This Contract was presented to the Goal
Setting Committee (GSC) on March 29, 2024, and the GSC established an Affirmative
Procurement Initiative (API): 20% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) subcontracting
goal. Parsons committed to 26% SBE participation for the life of the Contract. Parsons
is headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia and Brown and Caldwell is headquartered in
Walnut Creek, California. Most members of the project team will be co-located with
PBCWUD staff at the Central Region Operations Center from which the majority of the
work required will be undertaken. The Contract is included in the PBCWUD Fiscal Year

Control Number (PCN) 00-41-41-18-23-002-0000 & 00-41-41-17-02-003-0000 in the
area south of Corporate Rd. North and east and west of Assembly Loop, Jupiter,
Florida. SUMMARY: During PBCWUD Project No. 18-562, a 12-inch potable water
main extension, including a master meter and associated utility appurtenances, was
constructed. The project extended from Pratt Whitney Road to the intersection of
Corporate Road North and Assembly Loop. Because this alignment crossed both
PBCWUD and PBPOC service areas, a subsequent project PBCWUD Project No.
23-564 was developed to relocate the master meter. Project No. 23-564 relocated the
master meter approximately 827 feet from its original installation point. In accordance
with the PBCWUD Minimum Design and Construction Standards, PBCWUD’s service
area terminates at the point of service, defined as the meter location. With the
relocation of the master meter, the potable water assets located downstream of the
new meter location no longer fall within PBCWUD’s service area. As a result, these
assets are being returned to PBPOC. The assets include potable water distribution
components such as hydrants, pipes, valves, bends, and other items identified in the
Bill of Sale. District 1 (MWJ)

within the Water Utilities Department and Florida Power & Light Reclaimed Water
Renewal & Replacement Fund (from Reserves to Water System unit) to fund 36-inch
Reclaimed Pipe Mechanical Joint Restraint Replacement CIP Project (Project).
SUMMARY: Palm Beach County (County) and Florida Power & Light (FPL) entered into
a Reclaimed Water Agreement (Agreement) dated May 20, 2008 (R2008-0906). In
accordance with the Agreement, the Reclaimed Water Project (RWP) was constructed,
including a 36-inch reclaimed water transmission main extending from the East Central
Regional Water Reclamation Facility (ECR) to FPL's West County Energy Center
(WCEC). The existing 36-inch reclaimed water transmission main has experienced
mechanical joint restraint failures at several locations. To evaluate the condition of the
pipeline and the integrity of the joint restraint system, the Palm Beach County Water
Utilities Department (PBCWUD) has retained Mock, Roos & Associates, Inc. (Consultant)
to perform a preliminary engineering evaluation. The evaluation will identify high-risk pipe
joints and pipeline segments that warrant further field investigation and detailed condition
assessment. The Consultant will perform these services under Consultant Service
Authorization (CSA) No. 16, issued pursuant to the Consulting/Professional Services
Utility Distribution & Collection System Engineering Services Contract, for an amount not
to exceed $161,200. Pursuant to the Agreement, FPL is responsible for all operation and

engineering evaluation will be reimbursed by FPL in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. The Project is included in the PBCWUD Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Budget.

Beach County as noted above and located at 6455 Jog Rd, Lake Worth, Florida. The
Property Owner requested release of the identified easements, which are no longer
associated with any public potable water, reclaimed water and wastewater facilities. As
a result of site development for Lake Worth Associates I, LLLP, and Lake Worth

either a State Financial Assistance Recipient Agreement (Agreement) or a State
Mosquito Control Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from FDACS for the FY
beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027. An Agreement would be
required if FDACS awards grant assistance to PBC; however, PBC does not anticipate
receiving grant assistance for FY 2027. If no grant assistance is awarded, an MOU
would still be required pursuant to F.A.C. Rule 5E-13.022 for counties that are not
eligible to receive state aid for the control of arthropods but wish to remain in the stateapproved program. Under the MOU, the Mosquito Control Division would be

– FY 2028 Strategic Plan (Plan) and FY 2027 Action Plan. SUMMARY: This Plan
represents the Library’s mission statement, goals and objectives, and strategic plan for
FY 2024 through FY 2028. This process of strategic planning is done in conjunction
with the State’s requirements for libraries receiving State Aid grant funds and with the
County’s budget process. The Board of County Commissioners approved the Strategic
Plan at their meeting on August 22, 2023. Subsequently, they have approved the
updated Action Plan on August 20, 2024 and August 19, 2025. This year, the Library
Advisory Board approved the FY 2027 Action Plan with Resolution 26-01 dated July
13, 2026. The Plan for FY 2024 – FY 2028 underwent a complete revision in 2024 to
address community needs by reflecting recent changes, including the public’s demand
for electronic resources, access to evolving technology, and population growth. While
continuing to meet the needs of those who seek traditional services and resource
formats, the Library also recognizes the demand for new technology. The Library will
take an active role in serving as a bridge to connect Library members with the
community services they require.
Highlights of the Action Plan for FY 2027 include:
•
•
•
•
•

Engaging our communities and partners by promoting and enhancing the role of
the Library and offering services beyond the Library’s walls;
Providing free access to resources and services that reflect and engage Palm
Beach County’s diverse communities and people;
Offering a diverse range of activities designed to enrich, stimulate and engage
members from early literacy through adulthood;
Providing a welcoming environment, both physically and virtually, to spark
creativity, stimulate thoughtful conversation and encourage collaboration;

Library (Project); and
B) delegate authority to the County Administrator or designee to execute the grant
agreements and any other necessary forms and certifications that do not
substantially change the scope of work, terms or conditions of the Application or
necessary forms.
SUMMARY: On October 7, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approved the County Administrator to apply for a Public Library Construction Grant.
However, no funding was appropriated to by the State to the Public Library
Construction Grant program for FY26-27. Applicants may roll over their application to
the following fiscal year so long as construction has not begun on the site. This
Application is being submitted for the State’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2028 Budget and is for
up to $500,000 with local matching funds of an equal amount to the Grant Awarded. If
awarded, grant funds will be used towards the cost of construction, thus freeing up
other funds for furnishing and equipping this library. The Library’s Capital Project
budget has funds available to cover the matching requirement and to complete the
Project. The operational costs will be funded through the Library's operating budget.
The building will be exclusively used for public library purposes. On March 12, 2024,
the BCC approved the purchase from the Town of Hypoluxo of a town-owned property
for the establishment and operation of a new Palm Beach County Library branch in the
Town of Hypoluxo. The property is located at the corner of Federal Highway and Park
Lane. The estimated cost for construction for a 3,300 sq. ft. branch library is $5 million.
Construction on this building is expected to start during the middle of the 2027 calendar
year and is slated for completion in late 2028. Countywide (RS)

SUMMARY: This Grant Application requests $4,790,502.47 from DHS FEMA for the
funding to add 20 new positions to staff a four (4) person ladder at new Fire Station 92
located at 4575 Lyons Road, Lake Worth. The total project cost identified in the Grant
Application is $7,768,382.40 with a 25% Fire Rescue match in year one (1) of
$647,365.20, a 25% match in year two (2) of $647,365.20 and a 65% match in year
three (3) of $1,683,149.53. If awarded, the Grant will provide funding to staff a four (4)
person ladder at new Fire Station 92. After a thorough evaluation the positions may be
submitted as a supplemental request through the budget process prior to the expiration
of the Grant. Otherwise these 20 positions will be eliminated at the end of the Grant.
The Assurance and Certifications in the Grant Application include the following: By
signing this application, I certify that the organization will, to the extent practicable,
seek, recruit, and hire members of racial and ethnic minority groups and women to
increase their ranks within our organization. This certification appears to be
inconsistent with Presidential Executive Order 14173 requiring a grant recipient to
certify it does not operate any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. It is also
inconsistent with the requirement in the Grant Application’s Assurance and
Certifications and Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to comply with applicable
executive orders. Furthermore, should the Grant be awarded to the County, the NOFO
requires grant recipients to comply with the updated FY 2026 DHS Standard Terms
and Conditions, which would be part of the federal award package that would need to
be approved upon award. These updated Terms and Conditions require grant
recipients to certify that they do not and will not operate DEI programs in violation of
Federal anti-discrimination laws; and require that recipients comply with Presidential
executive orders related to grants. Based on the updated DHS Terms and Conditions
and the short grant submission deadline that was impending, County Administration
recommended submittal of the Grant Application in reliance on the to the extent
practicable provision of the certification. The required match for this grant is estimated
to be $2,977,880 over three (3) years, funded from the Fire Rescue MSTU contingency
reserves. Countywide (SB)

providing for an effective date; repealing and replacing Resolution R2014-0173.
SUMMARY: In Resolution R2014-0173, the County designated itself as a hybrid entity
under the HIPAA Regulations and identified the Risk Management Department, the
Fire Rescue Department (Fire Rescue), and the Division of Senior and Veterans
Services (formerly known as Division of Senior Services) as the County’s healthcare
components subject to HIPAA Regulations. The HIPAA Regulations allow the County
to limit the designation of a health care component to covered functions that it
performs. Fire Rescue’s Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and dispatch functions
may be provided outside of Fire Rescue’s covered entity health care provider status.

County (County), Florida, approving the submission of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027
Section 5311, Formula Grants for Rural Areas Program (CFDA 20.509) Grant
Application as administered by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in
the amount of $1,319,565 to partially offset the operational costs for the Go Glades
Service, and
B) authorize the Mayor of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) to execute the
Grant Application, supporting documents, and assurances.
SUMMARY: FDOT has notified Palm Tran of the availability of Section 5311 grant
funds for mass transit operating assistance in non-urbanized areas. If awarded, the
Grant will partially offset the operating costs of the Go Glades Service by 50%. The
application is for $1,319,565 in grant funds, which requires a local match of 50% or
$1,319,566 for a total project cost of $2,639,131. The grant match is included in
Palm Tran’s proposed FY 2027 Budget. The Grant Application requires broader
indemnification by the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The resulting
Grant Agreement will require the County and its officers, agents, or employees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless FDOT and all of its officers, agents, and
employees from any claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, or expense arising out of the
County’s non-compliance or performance of this agreement. The indemnification
obligation must also be passed on to contractors and/or consultants. The Risk
Management Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the
indemnification requirements of this Grant and advised staff accordingly. Given that
liability is limited to the County’s non-compliance or performance of this Grant
Agreement and the statutory caps of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, staff
recommends BCC approval. Countywide (MMM)

FIRE RESCUE
1.

Staff recommends motion to:
A) adopt a Resolution establishing the rate for the non-ad valorem special assessment
annually levied against parcels of real property within the Palm Beach County
Municipal Service Benefit Unit for Fire Hydrant Maintenance and Rental - Boca
Raton (MSBU-Boca Raton) commencing fiscal year 2026-27 and for all subsequent
fiscal years; providing for repeal of Resolution 2008-0239; and providing for a
savings clause;
B) adopt a Resolution adopting the non-ad valorem assessment roll for the MSBUBoca Raton for fiscal year 2026-27 and all subsequent fiscal years; providing for the
annual levy of non-ad valorem special assessments against parcels of real property
within the MSBU-Boca Raton; providing for the repeal of Resolution 2001-1181;
and providing for a savings clause; and
C) authorize the Mayor to execute Certificate to Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll
(DR-408A) form certifying the non-ad valorem assessment roll for MSBU-Boca
Raton.
SUMMARY: The MSBU-Boca Raton for Fire Hydrant Maintenance and Rental-Boca
Raton was established in February of 1993, as set out in Chapter 26, Article III of the
Palm Beach County Code. The current rate as established by Resolution is $23 per
parcel (R2008-0239). Pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, and Palm Beach
County Code Sections 26-106 through 26-109, a non-ad valorem special assessment
is levied against the real property parcels located within the MSBU-Boca Raton. The
rate has been the same since 2008. The proposed rate Resolution would increase the
rate due to the maintenance cost of the hydrants exceeding the current assessment
rate. The increasing maintenance cost has been steadily reducing the fund balance,
and without the increase the fund will go negative. The current rate will be increased
from $23 per parcel to $27 per parcel. This public hearing is being held to adopt the
assessment rate and the non-ad valorem assessment roll, in accordance with Section
197.3632(4), Florida Statutes and Section 26-109 of the Palm Beach County Code.
Every year the assessment roll must be certified by the Mayor of the BCC, and the
State Department of Revenue (DOR) form DR-408A must be signed by the Mayor for
each MSBU in order for the assessment to be included on the property’s annual tax bill.
These forms and the assessment rolls must be submitted to the Tax Collector no later
than September 15th, of each year. District 5 (SB)
