Chapter 2, Section 2-40 (a) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, requires that the Broward County Board of County Commissioners ("Board") authorize any commercial activities or occupancy of any portion of the Airport.

Approves an Agreement of Lease ("Lease") between Broward County ("County") and Avis Rent A Car System, LLC ("Avis") to continue its rental car maintenance facility operations at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport ("FLL").

None.

THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
 
This action approves a Lease between the County and Avis to continue its rental car maintenance facility operations at FLL.

On May 20, 2003 (Item No. 2), the Board approved the current Agreement of Lease between the County and Avis for the construction, operation, and maintenance of a new rental car maintenance facility located west of Interstate 95 off Ravenswood Road. The current Agreement of Lease expires on April 25, 2019.

On June 22, 2004 (Item No. 2), the Board approved the current Revocable License Agreement between the County and Avis ("Revocable License Agreement") for a parcel adjacent to the rental car maintenance facility to satisfy the requirements of the County’s Landscaping Code.

The proposed Lease combines the parcels under the current Agreement of Lease and the current Revocable License Agreement. The term is for ten years commencing on April 26, 2019, and terminating on the last day of the tenth lease year.

Two appraisals were conducted, as required by Chapter 39, Broward County Administrative Code. The first appraisal was done on June 4, 2018, by AMH Appraisal Consultants, Inc., and the second appraisal was done on December 17, 2018, by The Coastal Consulting Group, Inc. The annual rental during the first lease year will be $862,680, plus applicable taxes and will be adjusted annually thereafter, beginning with the first day of the second lease year by the greater of 3% or the Consumer Price Index ("CPI").

The Lease has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney and the Risk Management Division.

MOTION TO ADOPT Resolution No. 2019-140 approving a Public Transportation Grant Agreement with the State of Florida Department of Transportation for Financial Project No. 434832-2-94-01 to fund the Airport Access Roadway System Phase II at Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport; authorizing execution of same by the Mayor or Vice-Mayor; authorizing the County Administrator to take the necessary administrative and budgetary actions, and approve any nonmonetary amendments subject to the Office of the County Attorney approving as to legal sufficiency; and providing for an effective date. The Public Transportation Grant Agreement requires the County to fund all expenses for the project in excess of the amount of FDOT's funding. A certified copy of the approved Resolution shall be inserted as Exhibit D to the Public Transportation Grant Agreement before execution.

ACTION:  (T-11:36 AM)  Approved.

VOTE: 9-0.  Commissioner Geller voted in the affirmative telephonically.

All grant agreements require the approval of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners ("Board").

Allows the Broward County Aviation Department ("BCAD") to accept Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") grant funding.

None.

THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

This action will allow Broward County to accept grant funding from FDOT.

On June 13, 2017 (Item No. 3), the Board approved execution of an FDOT Joint Participation Agreement ("JPA") Grant 434832-1-94-01 in the amount of $5,000,000 for short-term improvements to the airport's roadways, which are anticipated to be completed in 2020. At that time, BCAD anticipated receiving additional FDOT funds to implement the full Access Roadway System Project.

This action will adopt a resolution approving a Public Transportation Grant Agreement ("PTGA") with FDOT for Financial Project No. 434832-2-94-01 to fund the Airport Access Roadway System Phase II ("Project") at Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport ("FLL"). The PTGA requires FDOT to fund 50% of the Project cost, up to a maximum amount of $12,751,717, and requires the County to fund all expenses for the Project in excess of the amount of FDOT's funding, currently estimated to be in the amount of $12,751,717.

The scope of work for the Project includes, but is not limited to, consultant fees associated with the design and construction of the improvements to the Airport Access Roadway System, which is the main roadway that encompasses the airport and provides access to Terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4, the Rental Car Center, and the Cypress, Hibiscus, and Palm parking garages. The Project also includes short-term improvements such as safety enhancements to the pedestrian crossings, curb front and parking improvements, a new Cell Phone Lot with increased parking capacity, exit roadways and valet parking routing, upper level Terminal Drive structural enhancements, and ground transportation modifications. The recommended improvements will enhance passenger safety on the airport roadways, allow easier access to and from the supporting facilities, and enable FLL to handle the high volume of passengers and traffic as the airport continues to grow.

In addition to the above, the proposed FLL Master Plan Update has identified several landside projects that may impact the airport access roadways. These projects include supplemental curb with site work for a new parking garage, demolition of the Palm Garage, an Airport People Mover, and an Intermodal facility. Subsequent to Board approval of the FLL Master Plan Update, BCAD will begin the initial programming phase of these projects and impacts to the airport access roadways.
 
The proposed PTGA was reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney. The PTGA does not include the County's standard Agreement provisions, as FDOT requires the County to use its Agreement.

(Commission District 4)

ACTION:  (T-11:36 AM)  Approved.

VOTE: 9-0.  Commissioner Geller voted in the affirmative telephonically.

B. MOTION TO APPROVE Third Amendment to Work Authorization No. HS0745 under the Agreement between Broward County and Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., for General Consultant Services for Water and Wastewater Services, RLI No. 20060911-0-EED-1, for additional engineering services during construction related to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System Replacement at the North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant in the amount of $219,000, with an increase in time for performance of 540 calendar days, resulting in a revised Work Authorization maximum not-to-exceed amount of $1,017,932 and revised time for performance of 2,780 calendar days; and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute the same. (Commission District 4)

ACTION:  (T-11:36 AM)  Approved.

VOTE: 9-0.  Commissioner Geller voted in the affirmative telephonically.

MOTIONS A and B: Board of County Commissioners’ approval is required for a contract for supplies or services exceeding a five-year period pursuant to Procurement Code, Section 21.43.

MOTIONS A and B: Provides additional time and compensation to complete required engineering services during construction related to the SCADA System Replacement.

No Previous Action.

 THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICES RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTIONS.

The Office of Economic and Small Business Development established a County Business Enterprise (CBE) participation goal for this Agreement of 20%. Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. committed to a 20% CBE participation. A CBE participation goal of 10% was established for this Work Authorization. Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. projects that they will achieve their original goal of 20% CBE participation with the completion of the additional services contained in this Agreement. As of December 3, 2018, Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. has been paid $9,501,563 with the CBE receiving $1,771,966, yielding 19% participation (Exhibit 1).

On June 24, 2008 (Item No. 28A), the Board of County Commissioners approved the Agreement between Broward County and Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., for General Consultant Services for Water and Wastewater Services (Exhibit 2), for a total not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000 per year for two years from the date of execution, with three one-year extensions, which rendered the contract with an expiration date for new Work Authorizations of June 24, 2013. The Agreement limits professional engineering fees associated with any individual work authorization, including any amendments thereto, to a maximum fee of $800,000. The authorized professional fee for this Work Authorization is currently $798,932. The proposed Third Amendment to Work Authorization HS0745, in the amount of $219,000, would exceed this limit for a single work authorization. Motion A for the First Amendment to the Agreement (Exhibit 4), will extend the term of the Agreement to June 24, 2020 and increase the limit amount of all professional engineering fees associated with an individual Work Authorization from $800,000 to $1,200,000 and extend the term of the Agreement by 2,557 calendar days, to June 24, 2020, for a total time for performance of 4,383 calendar days to provide the required time to complete the project.

On May 8, 2012, Work Authorization HS0745 (Exhibit 3) was issued for engineering design and services during construction for the replacement of the SCADA system at North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Subsequent amendments (first and second) extended the expiration date to August 6, 2018. During construction it was found that an increased level of effort was required to integrate the SCADA software and screens from the factory acceptance tests into live onsite testing and equipment commissioning. These difficulties could not have been anticipated by the contractor. In addition, the contractor experienced the loss of key personnel which caused some progress delay. Therefore, additional engineering services were needed to provide oversight and guidance to the contractor’s programming team to ensure computer screens match closely to actual field conditions and provide assistance with process flow diagrams and regulatory permit requirements. Motion B for the Third Amendment to Work Authorization No. HS0745 (Exhibit 5), will increase the Work Authorization amount by $219,000, for a total maximum not-to-exceed amount of $1,017,932 and will extend the expiration date by 540 calendar days to January 28, 2020 for a revised time for performance of 2,780 calendar days. 

This Third Amendment was negotiated in Sunshine meetings held on August 14, 2018, August 24, 2018, and August 29, 2018, attended by representatives from Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. and County staff. Both Amendments were reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney and Risk Management Division.

All dollar and percentage amounts referenced in this agenda item have been rounded to the nearest whole number.

MOTION TO APPROVE Memorandum of Understanding (Agreement) between Broward County and Florida Atlantic University Phyllis and Harvey Sander School of Social Work for social work student practicum and internships effective upon execution; authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute same; and authorize the County Administrator to take all necessary administrative actions to implement the Agreement.

ACTION:  (T-11:36 AM)  Approved.

VOTE: 9-0.  Commissioner Geller voted in the affirmative telephonically.

Agreements with external agencies require approval by the Board of County Commissioners.

Provides for implementation of a practicum and internship program with Florida Atlantic University within the Human Services Department.

None.

THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND OFFICE OF EVALUATION AND PLANNING RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE ACTION.

This action supports the Commission Value: "Approaching human services collaboratively and compassionately, with special emphasis on the most vulnerable," and Commission Goal: "Deliver evidence-based services to the public, and connect customers and their family members, to sustainable support, with special emphasis on financial supports."

The purpose of the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) Field Practicum and Internship Program is to provide Masters and Bachelors level students the opportunity to work in a professional setting to develop and demonstrate skills in the Human Services field, integrate the theories and practices learned in an out of the classroom, develop commitment to the profession, understand the diversity of the Broward community and the role diversity plays in the delivery of human services. The program also helps participants understand how administrative processes and policies impact delivery of services and professional relationships within the community. This program will necessitate the placement of undergraduate and graduate students within the HSD to receive direct experience through training and supervision from HSD staff.

Entering into this Agreement with FAU provides a mutually beneficial relationship to both the County and students. The social work practicum and internship program will enhance service capacity within the HSD. In return the university practicum or internship students receive both supervised and self-directed learning opportunities while participating in the program. HSD is committed to helping to position Broward County as an employer of choice within the human services profession. A primary goal is to retain students in paid positions upon their graduation.

This Agreement has been approved as to form by the Risk Management Division and Office of County Attorney.

A. Amendments to Agreements that increase funds by more than 10 percent must be approved by the Board.

B. A waiver of conflict arising under Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes, requires two thirds approval by the Board in accordance with Section 112.313(12), Florida Statutes.

Motion A provides capital funding necessary to operate the NHAC for shelter and day respite services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

Motion B waives the existence of any conflicts arising under Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes, as authorized under applicable law.

None.

THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTIONS.

These actions support the Commission Value: "Approaching human services collaboratively and compassionately, with special emphasis on the most vulnerable" and the Commission Goal: "Collaborate with public and private partners to find creative, equitable, and responsible solutions to systemic community problems, especially permanent, supportive housing for persons experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness." Funding will allow the NHAC to provide temporary shelter and supportive services to families and individuals experiencing homelessness in Broward County.

On January 29, 2019, (Item No. 22), the Broward County Board of County Commissioners authorized the County Administrator to execute the First Amendment to Agreement No. 19-CP-HIP-8470-01 between Broward County and BPHI, to provide emergency shelter and day respite services to Broward County families and individuals experiencing homelessness. This funding will enable BPHI to purchase materials necessary to implement the shelter and day respite services at the NHAC.

Because this is the first year that BPHI will be operating the NHAC, there are no outcomes to report. The Amendment will be reviewed and approved by the Office of the County Attorney prior to execution by the County Administrator.

Approval of this item would give rise to certain employment conflicts under Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statutes, which provides that "no public officer...shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity...which is doing business with an agency of which he or she is an officer or employee." In accordance with Section 112.313(12), Florida Statues, Board approval is required to waive any conflict arising under Section 112.313(7)(a), Florida Statues. An effective waiver requires a two-thirds vote of the County Commission after full disclosure of the conflicting relationship (Motion B). Forms 4A attached hereto as Exhibit 1 constitute full disclosure of any existing conflict.

ACTION:  (T-11:36 AM)  Approved.

VOTE: 9-0.  Commissioner Geller voted in the affirmative telephonically.

Broward County Board of County Commissioners (Board) approval is required for transfers from reserves.

Adopts budget Resolution transferring funds from the Port Everglades Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) Reserve providing matching funds for the Port Security Grant Program.

None.

THE PORT EVERGLADES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

Article 16 of the Interlocal Agreement between Broward County and the Sheriff of Broward County (BSO) providing for Seaport Security and Law Enforcement Services at Port Everglades, approved by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners (Board) on September 10, 2015 (Item No. 32) and expiring September 30, 2020, provides that the County could receive a share of any currency or property seized and subsequently forfeited to BSO based on seizures within Port Everglades or in other locations where BSO personnel assigned to Port Everglades actively participated in the investigation and/or seizure of the property. In 2009, the Port Everglades Port Director authorized BSO to have a deputy assigned to Port Everglades participate on a regional multi-agency Money Laundering Task Force that investigated money laundering and other related crimes. As a result of that participation, Port Everglades became eligible to receive a share of any funds made available to Task Force participants. On January 11, 2011 (Item No. 2), the Board approved an Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification between Broward County, Broward Sheriff's Office, U.S. Department of Justice, and U.S. Department of Treasury that provided for Port Everglades participation in the Equitable Sharing Program to allow for distribution and retention of Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) funds by the Port. Since the assignment of Port Everglades-based BSO personnel to such activities, Port Everglades has received LETF distributions totaling $793,810 as of February 14, 2019, $311,404 of which has been expended for the purchases of security equipment to enhance law enforcement capabilities at Port Everglades.

Florida Statutes 932.7055 requires that proceeds from the disposition of liens and forfeited property obtained from criminal procedure be deposited in a special law enforcement trust fund to be used for law enforcement purposes. Recommendation of the Sheriff and Board approval is necessary to appropriate LETF funds. Board action is required to transfer funds from Port Everglades to the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) to provide the 25% local share to use Fiscal Year 2017 U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Port Security Grant Program funds for the purchase of equipment to detect radiological or nuclear threats to the Port.

While the funds are provided to the Port, their use is limited to supporting or enhancing port security capabilities within the confines of the Port. The County/BSO Interlocal Agreement also provides that the BSO District Captain can apply for the use of such funds if the application is compliant with Florida Statutes and the Port Director concurs. The BSO District Captain for Port Everglades has requested approval to use a portion of the funds available to provide equipment to enhance BSO's port security capabilities (see Exhibit 1). The funds will be used to cover the 25% local match required for BSO to accept and spend a Fiscal Year 2017 U.S. Department of Homeland Security Port Security grant awarded to BSO by FEMA to purchase equipment to detect radiological or nuclear threats to the Port.

The Port Everglades Chief Executive/Port Director has reviewed the request and concurs that the equipment requested will enhance the capability of BSO to provide seaport security and law enforcement services at Port Everglades. Staff recommends the funds be transferred from Port Everglades to BSO to facilitate the procurement of this specialized equipment. As provided for in Article 12 of the Interlocal Agreement, equipment purchased by BSO will become the property of the County upon termination of the Interlocal Agreement.

It allows a Public Hearing date to be set and notices to be published twice in local newspapers.

None.

THE PORT EVERGLADES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

This action supports the Broward County Board of County Commissioners' (Board) Value of "Ensuring economic opportunities for Broward's diverse population and businesses" and the Goal to "Increase the economic strength and impact of revenue-generating County enterprises balancing economic, environmental, and community needs."

Continental Florida Materials Inc. (Continental) has held cargo handler and stevedore services franchises at Port Everglades since May 21, 1987. On April 28, 2009 (Items No. 4-PH & 5-PH), the Board approved the most recent renewal of Continental’s nonexclusive franchises to provide cargo handler and stevedore services at Port Everglades for a term of ten years, from May 21, 2009, through May 20, 2019. Continental has applied for renewal of the franchises for a ten-year term from May 21, 2019, through May 20, 2029.

Staff has reviewed the cargo handler and stevedore services franchise renewal applications against the enumerated renewal criteria set forth in Chapter 32 of the Broward County Administrative Code. Staff’s due diligence included corresponding with Continental’s representative to clarify franchise requirements and reviewing Continental’s corporate status, resumes of executive staff and list of managerial personnel, business history/experience, litigation history, insurance, financial documents and creditworthiness, discharge of previous financial obligations to County, compliance with all franchise terms and conditions and established County rules and regulations, required licenses and certificates, company programs and policies, list of equipment to be used at Port Everglades, statement of intended activities, and actions to promote and develop business growth at Port Everglades. Continental's safety and environmental history was also reviewed, and infractions are documented in Section Q of the applications, as discussed further below. No false or misleading information was submitted as part of the franchise renewal applications. Continental has, through the submission of the signed franchise renewal applications, agreed to comply with all franchise conditions set forth in Section 32.24 of the Broward County Administrative Code. The complete application and supporting documents are on file in the Port Everglades Business Administration Division.

Continental has operated a cement terminal on a 4.91 acre parcel at the Port under a land lease with the County since 1981. On March 12, 2013 (Item No. 6-PH), the Board approved the most recent extension of the lease for a ten-year term, through February 28, 2023. Continental is a large supplier of building materials in South Florida, and shipped 513,350 tons of cement through its Port Everglades terminal in Fiscal Year 2018, generating approximately $1.85 million in revenue for the Port.  In recent years, Port staff has responded to a number of complaints concerning dust emissions from the Continental facility during the offloading of cement from ships to the marine terminal, and has shut down cement transfers when necessary to have Continental address the emissions. While Continental has taken a number of actions to reduce the potential for dust emissions during cement transfers, on August 10, 2018, Continental was issued a Warning Notice (No. WRN18-0202) by the Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department (EPGMD), for causing, permitting, suffering or allowing ship unloading operations to generate unconfined particulate emissions without taking reasonable precautions to prevent such emissions in violation of Air Permit 0111012-006-AF, from August 14, 2017, to August 10, 2018. On March 12, 2019, the EPGMD issued a Notice of Violation and Notice of Hearing to Assess a Civil Penalty (No. NOV19-0004) as a result of continued non-compliance. A settlement conference between EPGMD staff and Continental is in the process of being scheduled, and the administrative hearing process may not be complete before the existing franchises expire on May 20, 2019.

Based on the review of information provided in the applications, staff has determined that, with the exception of the pending Notice of Violation for cement dust emissions, Continental meets the criteria for renewal of the cargo handler and stevedore franchises. However, while cargo handler and stevedore services franchises may be granted for any period of time up to ten years, in view of the open status of the environmental enforcement case pending with the EPGMD, Port staff is recommending that the franchise be renewed only for an initial six-month term, from May 21, 2019, through November 20, 2019, with an optional six-month extension to the initial term that may be exercised by the Port Everglades Chief Executive/Port Director. Granting the franchises for this short period of time allows Continental to continue to operate their business at Port Everglades while the EPGMD administrative process continues and any corrective actions are taken or agreed to be taken by Continental within an enforceable schedule. Port Everglades’ staff will continue to closely monitor the discharge of cement dust from vessels unloading into Continental’s marine terminal and from operations within the the terminal to ensure compliance with all applicable County regulations and Port Tariffs.

Approval of this item authorizes participation by Broward County in the Waze Connected Citizens Program (“CCP”) and provides the County Administrator, through her designee, with authority to complete and submit the CCP Membership Application and approve any agreements with Waze, subject to certain requirements.     

Waze is a community-based traffic and navigation mobile application. The CCP is a formalized partnership between Waze and municipalities to share traffic data. The partnership enhances the Waze customer experience with local data and allows the partnering local governments to utilize Waze data for planning purposes. As an example, Waze data was used by La Guardia Airport to improve customer flow, Rio de Janeiro to plan traffic management for the 2016 Olympic games, and Miami-Dade County to update internal construction and maintenance systems.

For Broward County to participate in the CCP, a CCP Membership Application (Exhibit 1) must be submitted and Waze will subsequently provide any agreements required for participation in the CCP to Broward County for consideration and execution.  The CCP Membership Application requires a single signing authority for the County. Approval of this agenda item will assign signing authority to the EPGMD Director and authorize the EPGMD Director (or designee) to sign the CCP Membership Application and any related agreements with the requirement that the agreements: (i) are substantively consistent with standard County terms and conditions or otherwise determined by the Office of the County Attorney to not create unreasonable risk to the County, (ii) provide for no County financial responsibility, and (iii) are reviewed and approved by the Office of the County Attorney.  Agreements that include a financial component or otherwise substantively deviate from the standard County terms and conditions must be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for consideration.

None.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE HOUSING FINANCE AND COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

 

This item supports the Board’s vision of offering sustainable, compatible, innovative housing options for all income-levels, including integrated supportive housing and rapid-rehousing: Goal 1: Facilitate a regional approach to growth and redevelopment through coordination and collaboration at the federal, state, county, and local levels; Goal 2: Strengthen stakeholder partnerships to increase the availability of affordable housing of all types (e.g. rental, purchase, supportive, etc.), county wide, in every community; and Goal 3: Develop, through effective community collaboration, neighborhoods and communities incorporating intermodal connectivity, while integrating energy efficiency ,community resilience, and other livability standards and initiatives.

BHS, has provided affordable housing for approximately 23 years for Broward County’s homeless population who suffer from mental illness and special needs.

 

In 2003, the Housing Finance Authority approved a $200,000 loan for BHS with a zero percent interest rate with an August 31, 2018 maturity date (BHS Loan). Loan proceeds were used to finance a new construction project comprised of 11 rental units for persons with special needs. The project is located at 10100 Northwest 35 Street in the City of Coral Springs.

 

On October 9, 2015, the Housing Finance Authority received a letter from BHS requesting that the Housing Finance Authority forgive or subordinate its loan thereby enabling the BHS to secure additional financing with City National Bank to purchase an alternative building. The building was necessary due to operational growth (from 145 to over 322 clients) and staff increases (from 11 to 16).

On November 10, 2015, the Housing Finance Authority Board approved BHS’s request to subordinate the loan in order for BHS to secure additional financing with City National Bank.

On December 8, 2015 (Agenda Item 19), the Board of County Commission (the “BOCC”) adopted Resolution 2015-673 authorizing the Housing Finance Authority to execute a Subordinate Agreement.

On September 10, 2018, Staff received a letter from BHS informing staff that Broward County’s Homeless Initiative Partnership program grant in the amount of $513,000 had been defunded. Due to this decrease in funding, BHS indicated they were unable to meet their financial obligation to the Housing Finance Authority in reference to the repayment of BHS Loan which was due on August 31, 2018.

 

At the March 21, 2019 meeting, the Housing Finance Authority approved Resolution 2019-002 authorizing (i) an Amended and Restated Promissory Note to be executed by BHS in favor of HFA; (ii) modifying the term of a $200,000 loan for BHS and making an initial payment of $2,917 on or before April 30, 2019, followed by monthly payments of $972 every month through a new Maturity Date (January 31, 2034); and (iii) Amended the Restated Mortgage Deed and Security Agreement. It should be noted that the HFA also approved the reduction in the note by $25,000 dollars should BHS meet their monthly payment requirement through the term of the mortgage. Resolution 2019-002 was approved as to form by The Office of the County Attorney.

Adoption of this Resolution authorizes the Housing Finance Authority to enter into the amended and restated promissory note and mortgage documents between the Housing Finance Authority and BHS.

MOTION TO RETROACTIVELY TERMINATE Agreement with Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (Quest) for laboratory testing services effective as of December 31, 2018, in light of the inclusion of Quest in the network for the County's healthcare contract with UnitedHealthcare (UHC) as of January 1, 2019.

ACTION:  (T-11:36 AM)  Approved.

VOTE: 9-0.  Commissioner Geller voted in the affirmative telephonically.

Board approval is required in accordance with Broward County Procurement Code, Section 21.122, to terminate a contract or rescind an award made by the awarding authority.

Terminates the agreement between Broward County and Quest for laboratory testing services.

None.

THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THE HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION AND THE PURCHASING DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

On May 2, 2017 (Item No. 6), the Board of County Commissioners approved the agreement with Quest for laboratory testing services (“Agreement”). The Agreement provided for continuity of access to Quest laboratory testing services for members enrolled in a County health plan under UHC. The County, through its third party administrator, UHC, compensated Quest for such laboratory testing services.

Previously, a separate agreement with Quest was necessary because Quest was not in the network of the County's health care provider, UHC. However, effective January 1, 2019, Quest is now in UHC’s network and therefore provides the same services under the UHC contract with the County. The separate agreement with Quest is no longer necessary. There will be no disruption of services by Quest resulting from this technical termination. 

The Director of Purchasing recommends that the Agreement be terminated in accordance with its terms. Quest has agreed to the proposed termination of Agreement with a retroactive, effective termination date of December 31, 2018.

ACTION:  (T-11:46 AM)  County Auditor Robert Melton advised the Board that this item is being deferred so as to eliminate the potential of the audit being compromised, as well as to provide the Board will complete information.  (Refer to minutes for full discussion.)
 

We are currently conducting an audit at Port Everglades (Port), and as part of our audit we reviewed allegations related to backflow assembly testing. Because of immediate need for corrective action, we are issuing an interim audit report.

The allegations assessed in this interim report are:

A. Port employees used County-owned backflow test kits for personal business outside the Port.
B. Port’s backflow assembly devices, which prevent public water supply contamination, were not certified annually as required by city, county, state, and federal requirements and standards.

We completed our assessment of the following allegations:

A. Unauthorized use of County-owned backflow testing kits.  Substantiated
B. Inadequate certification of backflow assembly devices.  Substantiated

The findings and recommendations presented herein may not be inclusive of all areas where improvement may be needed; however, we believe implementing these recommendations will result in corrective actions as well as improve and strengthen the controls over backflow assembly device testing at the Port.

We appreciate the cooperation and assistance provided by Port staff throughout our audit process.

Section 5-533 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances requires designation of a historic resource to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

None taken.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT, THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT DIVISION AND THE BROWARD COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

On September 20, 2018, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) recommended that the Kaye Stevens House (House No. 1) in Margate, Florida be designated as a historic resource under Section 5-533 of the Code of Ordinances, due to the site's association with 'First Lady of Margate,' Kaye Stevens. The site is consistent with the designation criteria contained in Subsections 5-533 (a)(2)a. and c. and Subsection 5-533(a)(4) of the Code of Ordinances. The site was Ms. Stevens' first home during the height of her career as a singer, entertainer and civic supporter. The property is located at 1624 East River Drive, within one of the first subdivision areas in the City of Margate.

The property is privately managed by a Trustee. Both the trust and Trustee were notified of the HPB hearing pursuant to the Code of Ordinances. The Planning and Development Management Division also corresponded several times with the site owner. The trustee did not provide written comments for or against the designation nor appear at the September 20, 2018 HPB meeting. However, the trustee did provide verbal acknowledgment of the property's pending designation when reached by telephone.

Ordinance No. 2014-32, approved by the Board in September of 2014, established a new regulatory framework for historic and archaeological preservation in Broward County. It also created a Historic Preservation Board to review developmental projects and to designate historic resources and archaeological sites. In July of 2016, Broward County received Certified Local Government (CLG) recognition for its historic preservation program and Historic Preservation Board by the State of Florida and the Federal Government. Among CLG compliance requirements is the designation and protection of important historic and archaeological sites. The City of Margate provided comments indicating no objection and support for the historic resource designation of this site (Exhibit 3).

In addition, Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes, the Florida law authorizing the creation of the CTA, allows Florida governmental entities to work together in connection with the issuance of bonds.

Motions A and B: Ensure compliance with TEFRA and U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and Section 159.29, Florida Statutes, by providing for a public hearing and adoption of a TEFRA Resolution by the Board prior to the issuance of the Bonds.

None.

THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTIONS.

The Borrower has requested that the Board hold the public hearing described herein (the “TEFRA Hearing”) and adopt the Resolution described herein (the “TEFRA Resolution”) for the purpose of, and as required by, Section 147(f) of the Code, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and Section 159.29, Florida Statutes, with respect to the issuance by the CTA of the above described Bonds, in an amount not to exceed $40,000,000 from time to time in one or more tax-exempt or taxable series pursuant to a plan of financing. The proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned by the CTA to the Borrower, and used by the Borrower to pay the costs of (a) the acquisition, renovation, conversion, furnishing and equipping, together with the acquisition and installation of related facilities, fixtures, furnishings and equipment, of an existing facility into a senior living facility known as Sawgrass Grand Senior Living, located at 3003 North University Drive, Sunrise, Florida, and consisting of approximately 194 senior living units (including approximately 167 assisted living units and 27 memory care units) (collectively, the "Facility"), within the territorial limits of Broward County, Florida; (b) funding any necessary reserves; (c) funding any necessary capitalized interest for the Bonds; (d) funding one or more debt service reserve funds for the Bonds; and (e) paying certain costs of issuing the Bonds (the purposes described in clauses (a) through (e) are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Project").

Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Code, the issuance of the Bonds by the CTA must be approved by the Board because the Project is located within the territorial limits of Broward County. In addition, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and Section 159.29, Florida Statutes, encourage governmental entities to cooperate when bonds are issued by one governmental entity to finance a project located within the territorial limits of another governmental entity. Motions A and B provide for the TEFRA Hearing and adoption of the TEFRA Resolution in accordance with Section 147(f) of the Code, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and Section 159.29, Florida Statutes.

The TEFRA Hearing was properly noticed as evidenced by the Proof of Publication attached as Exhibit 2. Exhibit 3 is a public hearing “script,” which must be read into the official record prior to the commencement of the TEFRA Hearing. Exhibit 4 is a letter from the CTA further describing the transaction. The Bonds are expected to be issued by the CTA in April of 2019.

MOTION TO CONSIDER enactment of an Ordinance, the title of which is as follows:
 
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, PERTAINING TO CLAIMS AGAINST OR ON BEHALF OF BROWARD COUNTY; AMENDING SECTION 1-51.3 OF THE BROWARD COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES (“CODE”) TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO REJECT CERTAIN SETTLEMENT PROPOSALS; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, INCLUSION IN THE CODE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
 

(Sponsored by the Board of County Commissioners)

ACTION:  (T-12:24 PM)  Filed proof of publication and enacted the Ordinance to become effective as provided by law.  (Refer to minutes for full discussion.)

VOTE: 9-0.  Commissioner Geller voted in the affirmative telephonically.    

A Resolution directing the County Administrator to publish notice of public hearing to consider enactment of the Ordinance was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting of March 28, 2019.

Expressly authorizes the County Administrator to reject certain settlement proposals after consultation with the County Attorney and upon determining that acceptance of the proposal would not serve the County’s best interests.

The County receives many proposals for settlement. A substantial number of these involve small value claims, including claims alleging property damage. Other settlement proposals contain timing and other terms that might preclude timely consideration by the Board.

The recent amendments to Section 1-51.3 delegated authority to the County Administrator and to this Office to settle certain claims, but did not expressly delegate authority to the County Administrator to reject settlement proposals after consultation with this Office.
 
If this Code amendment is approved, settlement proposals in amounts exceeding $200,000 would still be required to be presented to the Board unless the terms of the proposals would preclude timely consideration by the Board.

THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT AND THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

This action approves the Evaluation Committee’s recommendation of the final ranking of qualified firms.

This procurement was solicited to engage the services of a qualified and experienced firm to provide Parking Management Services at Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport ("FLL") for Public and Employee Parking Facilities.

On November 13, 2019 (Item No. 72), the Board approved Request for Proposals No. 2018-06-12-0-AV-04 (“RFP”). The RFP was advertised, and at the time of the opening deadline, 4:30 p.m. on February 5, 2019, four (4) firms submitted proposals.

On February 22, 2019, an Initial Evaluation Committee meeting was held. At the Initial Evaluation Meeting, all four (4) firms were determined to be responsive and responsible to the RFP requirements and would proceed to final evaluation.

On March 19, 2019, a Final Evaluation Committee meeting was held. New information before the Committee resulted in a Motion to re-evaluate the responsiveness of the proposers. At that time, three (3) firms were determined to be responsive to the RFP requirements and would proceed to final evaluation. After presentations, evaluation, and scoring, the Evaluation Committee named SP Plus Corporation as the first ranked firm (Exhibit 1).

The Evaluation Committee’s proposed recommendation of ranking was posted on the Broward County Aviation Department’s website from March 20, 2019 through March 22, 2019, which provides an opportunity for any proposer or interested party to present any new or additional information regarding the responsibility of the proposers. There was no additional information submitted within this timeframe.

If there is no additional information submitted during the objective timeframe, the Evaluation Committee’s final recommendation of ranking will be posted on the Aviation Department’s website from March 25, 2019 through April 1, 2019, which provides an opportunity for any aggrieved proposer to file a formal protest. Contingent upon no protest being timely filed by close of business on April 1, 2019, and contingent upon the Board’s approval of the final ranking, staff will proceed with negotiations.

B. MOTION TO ADOPT budget Resolution transferring funds within the General Fund for the Supervisor of Elections in the amount of $1,431,387 for unbudgeted expenses arising out of the November 2018 General Election recount.

(Per the Tuesday Morning Memorandum:  At the request of the Supervisor of Elections, this item is being deferred to the May 7, 2019, Commission Meeting.)

A. Expenses arising from the November 2018 General Election recount were unbudgeted and exceed the Supervisor of Election's Fiscal Year 2019 Adopted Budget for the November 2018 General Election.

B. Reallocating funds between Commission reserves and the Supervisor of Election's budget requires approval by the Board of County Commissioners.

Appropriates funding from reserves to provide the Supervisor of Election's office with sufficient resources to cover the unbudgeted expenses arising out of the November 2018 General Election.

None.

In Fiscal Year 2019, the Broward County Supervisor of Elections requested and the Board of County Commissioners approved an adopted budget of $9,259,050 for the November 2018 General Election. The election results for U.S Senate, Florida Governor, and the Commissioner of Agriculture all fell within a 0.5% or less margin of victory. Per state law, the Florida Secretary of State ordered manual recounts for the Senate and Commissioner of Agriculture races and a machine recount for the Florida Governor race. The Fiscal Year 2019 Adopted Budget for the November 2018 General Election did not include funds for expenses incurred during the recount. After review, the Supervisor of Elections determined an additional $1,431,387 is needed to fully cover the cost of the election and the unbudgeted expenses arising from the recount.
