ENGINEERING & PUBLIC WORKS
1.

Staff recommends motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the
City of Riviera Beach (City) to repeal and replace Interlocal Agreement R78-79, which
provided for traffic control jurisdiction within the City by Palm Beach County (County),
and was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on January 24, 1978.
SUMMARY: Section 316.006(2) (a), Florida Statutes, vests municipalities with traffic
control jurisdiction over all streets and highways located within their boundaries,
except state roads, and provides that a municipality may, by interlocal agreement with
a county, agree to transfer traffic regulatory authority (Authority) over areas within the
municipality to the county. On January 24, 1978, the County and the City entered into
Interlocal Agreement R78-79 wherein the City transferred certain traffic control
functions and duties to the County over certain signalized intersections and roads.
The City now agrees to repeal and replace Interlocal Agreement R78-79 with the
Agreement to transfer Authority over all County maintained thoroughfare roadways
and certain signalized intersections within the City’s municipal boundaries to the
County, as may be amended, and to outline certain operations and maintenance duties
retained by the City. District 7 (YBH)

2.

Staff recommends motion to receive and file:
A) an Adopt-A-Road Agreement with Regina Bell, dated July 9, 2026, for N Congress
Avenue from Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard to Presidential Way; and
B) an Adopt-A-Road Agreement with Sara Jo Unger, dated July 9, 2026, for Lyons
Road from Lantana Road to 47th Place South.
SUMMARY: In accordance with Countywide PPM CW-O-051, all delegated contracts,
agreements, and grants must be submitted by the initiating Department as a receive
and file agenda item. The Adopt-A-Road Program allows entities to perform litter
removal along Palm Beach County (County) maintained road rights-of-way. Each entity
is expected to conduct litter removal activities at least four (4) times a year. The County
provides recognition signs for each entity at the beginning and end of the adopted road
segment and picks up the litter bags. Each entity must pay a fee to offset the County’s
costs to install the signs and remove the collected litter bags. Countywide (YBH)

Fund to recognize funding from the FDEP and appropriate it to the Project.
SUMMARY: Approval of the Agreement, delegation of authority, and Budget

of $1,400,000 for the Project with a current estimated construction cost of $3,347,000.
Commencement of the Agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2025, which is the date that

58% of the estimated Project cost. The Catalog of State Financial Assistance (CSFA)
number for this grant is 37.098 Resilient Florida Programs. This Project is included in

by 90% by 2030; and
C) approve a Budget Amendment of $650,736 in Ryan White Program/MAI/EHE
Funds to align with actual grant awards.
SUMMARY: On July 16, 2026, HHS HRSA issued a NOA authorizing the carryover of
$217,393 in unobligated funds from GY 2025 to GY 2026, for a total grant award
amount of $7,730,909. Carryover amounts vary from year to year based on unobligated
funds remaining from the previous GY. This grant allows the Community Services
Department (CSD) to continue providing essential medical and support services to
Palm Beach County (County) residents with HIV/AIDS. Services provided under the
Grant include medical case management, medical care, pharmaceutical assistance,
oral health care, legal support services, outpatient ambulatory services, health
insurance premium assistance, and food bank /home-delivered meal services. During
GY 2025, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part A & MAI program served 2,992 clients,
achieving a 96% rate of clients engaged in care, a 93% retention in care rate, and an
88% viral suppression rate. On July 23, 2026, HHS HRSA issued a NOA authorizing
the carryover of $433,343 in unobligated funds from GY 2025 to GY 2026, for a total

SUMMARY (cont’d): To support the goal of ending the epidemic, the County will use
the award to provide Rapid Entry to Care (REC) services and Health Insurance
Premium Assistance (HIPS). Recent changes to the Florida AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP) have eliminated support for health insurance premiums, affecting
1,568 people with HIV/AIDS in the County. Additional EHE grant funds will be allocated
to ensure continuity of care for disenrolled ADAP members. In GY 2025, the EHE
program served 812 clients, with an 89% retention in care rate and a 70% viral
suppression rate, advancing our collective goal to end HIV by 2030. No County match
funds required; however, the Grant requires Maintenance of Effort (MOE). The
HRSA's MOE requirement is a statutory provision mandating that grant recipients
sustain, or increase, their non-federal funding for award-related activities each fiscal
year. This means organizations must ensure their financial contributions from sources
other than federal grants remain at least equal to those provided in the prior year,
thereby demonstrating ongoing local commitment and eligibility for continued HRSA
support. Accordingly, the County agrees to maintain local expenditures for HIV/AIDS
related core medical and support services. (RS)

SUMMARY: The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act, as amended in 1998,
requires the establishment of a CAAB, which participates in the planning,
implementation, and evaluation of CSBG programs to serve low-income communities.
The Community Action Programs (CAPs) were created through the Economic
Opportunity Act of 1964, on the premise that local citizens are the most knowledgeable
and best equipped to address poverty-related challenges in their given communities.
Pursuant to Resolutions R2018-0372 and R2014-0588, the CAAB is composed of up to
15 members and is organized as a federally required tripartite board. The membership
includes at least one-third public officials appointed by the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC), at least one-third private sector representatives recommended
by the CAAB, and at least one-third low-income community representatives selected
through a democratic process within the targeted neighborhoods.

SUMMARY (cont’d.): The Florida Department of Commerce (FDOC) is the primary
conduit to receive and disperse CSBG funds to the local CAP. The CAP provides
services, assistance, and other activities of sufficient scope and size to support lowincome individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County (County). These efforts
foster progress towards the elimination of poverty and its causes by developing
employment opportunities, improving human performance, motivation, and productivity,
and bettering the conditions under which people live, learn, and work. Ms. Burns is a
Commissioner for the City of Delray and has expressed an interest in continuing to
serve as a member of the CAAB. Currently, 13 of the 15 seats on the CAAB are filled.

Beach County (County), for a five (5) year period from October 5, 2026 through
October 4, 2031, to provide a congregate meal site for seniors at the Lindsay Davis
Center. SUMMARY: The Division of Senior and Veteran Services (DSVS) receives
federal funds from the Older Americans Act (OAA) to provide congregate meal sites.
The above-referenced UFA enables DSVS to operate a congregate meal site at no cost
for facility space and energy usage. Riviera Beach will recruit volunteers to operate the

Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN), effective for three (3) years upon approval
by both parties, allowing for the matching and sharing of limited, consented clientlevel information for data integration to improve care coordination of safety net
services in Palm Beach County (County), at no cost to the County; and
B) delegate authority to the County Administrator or designee to execute additional
Data Sharing agreements with multiple systems of care entities/agencies, and any
related documents or forms associated therewith, that do not substantially change
the scope of services or the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
SUMMARY: The County will use the CARISK data that will be integrated into the
Community Services Department (CSD) and the Criminal Justice Commission’s data
warehouses using the Online System for Community Access to Resources and Social
Services (OSCARSS) and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data
to improve care coordination for clients across systems of care, including behavioral
health, housing, re-entry, economic mobility and jail/prison data. The integrated data
will enhance coordination of behavioral health and related support services for shared
program participants, reduce duplicative administrative processes, lessen the burden
on clients in maintaining service eligibility, improve service delivery and resource
utilization, and strengthen collaboration between the County and SEFBHN. Countywide

SUMMARY: HIVCC establishes priorities for the allocation of Ryan White (RW)
HIV/AIDS Program funds within the County and develops a comprehensive plan for the
organization and delivery of health services described in 42 U.S.C. § 300ff, et seq. that
is compatible with any existing state or local plan regarding the provision of health
services to individuals with HIV/AIDS disease. The United States Department of Health
and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), requires the County to maintain a planning council responsible for establishing
priorities and allocating RW grant funding. The HIVCC is that council. Federal law
requires that the planning council’s composition reflect the demographics of individuals
with HIV/AIDS in the County. At least 33% of its members must be consumers of RW
services who are not affiliated with subrecipient service providers. The law also
requires that the HIVCC represent designated areas, including health care providers,
social service providers, community-based organizations, local public health agencies,
non-elected community leaders, and grantees of federal HIV programs. Pursuant to
R2011-1560, the total membership for the HIVCC shall not exceed 33 at-large
members. The HIVCC recommends the reappointment of Ms. Kristen Harrington,
Regional Director with AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF). AHF has a contract with the
County for services; however, HIVCC does not provide regulation, oversight,
management, or policy-setting recommendations regarding the contracts or
transactions with AHF. Disclosure of this contractual relationship at a duly noticed
public meeting is provided in accordance with the provisions of Section 2-443 of the
County’s Code of Ethics. The HIVCC also recommends the reappointment of Mr. Cecil
Smith, who is currently retired. Both members have expressed an interest in continuing
to serve. Currently, 22 of the 27 seats on the HIVCC are filled. (Community Services)

Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution amending Resolution R2020-1017,
providing for clarification of delegation of authority for modifications to existing grant
agreements; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. SUMMARY:
On August 25, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved R2020-1017,
authorizing the County Administrator or designee, which in this case is the Director of the
Department of Airports, to execute Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) aviation grant applications and agreements as well
as certain amendments and modifications to the grant agreements. As the full authority
to execute grant applications and agreements has already been delegated to the County
Administrator or designee, this Resolution affirms that such authority necessarily extends
to amendments providing for adjustments to grant funding amounts and allocations,
modifications to project descriptions, and substitution with updated grant forms as
required by the administering agency. In practice, grant amendments serve as routine
updates to existing awards, typically issued to add funding or refine project descriptions,
thereby avoiding the need for a new grant application and reducing the time and effort
required by the administering agency to issue a new grant. Countywide (SB)

SUMMARY: On May 12, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved
two (2) purchase and sale agreements (PSAs) for the acquisition of oceanfront property
(two (2) parcels totaling 5.29 acres). The Project consists of the development of this
oceanfront property to create a public access beach park located at 4705 South Ocean
Boulevard in Highland Beach. The proposal for a public access beach park has been
the subject of legal actions in three (3) instances over the past several decades. On
May 18, 2010, the County and the Town of Highland Beach (Town) entered into a
stipulated settlement agreement (SSA) leading to the dismissal of the then legal action
between the Town and the County whereby the legality of some of the conditions of the
Development Order issued by the Town were being challenged. Under the SSA, the
County is required to construct the Project in compliance with a Development Order
approved by the Town, which includes 43 conditions of approval. Through the SSA, the
County and the Town agreed that the development of the Project would be postponed
for a period of ten (10) years with the County having, at its sole discretion, the right to
extend the postponement for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each for a
maximum postponement of up to 20 years. On October 22, 2019, the County notified
the Town that it was exercising its first five (5)-year option to postpone. On April 17,
2024, the County notified the Town of its intent to resume development of the County
Park. On September 26, 2024, the BCC approved the consultant contract with Brooks
and Scarpa Architects, Inc. for professional services (i.e., design, permitting and
construction administration services) for the Project. The Project includes, but is not
limited to, a guardhouse with an access controlled guard gate at the entrance of the
parking area, elevated boardwalk, restroom and lifeguard building, lifeguard station and
landscaping. The new public access beach park will provide countywide level of service
recreation and open space while ensuring public access to beaches consistent with the

of Palm Beach County, Florida (SBPBC) for acceptance of grant funds to be collected
retroactive to October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 under the Driver Education
Safety Trust Fund (DESTF) and to be expended by the SBPBC through March 31,
2028. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Dori Slosberg Driver Education Safety Act (Section
318.1215, Florida Statutes), the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court and
Comptroller shall collect an additional $5 with each civil traffic penalty levied in Palm
Beach County to be used for driver education programs. Section 10-9 of the Palm
Beach County Code provides for the collection of $5 to fund a DESTF Program, which
includes the creation of a DESTF and how these funds will be disbursed to public and
non-public schools annually. In order to receive funding from the DESTF, public and
non-public schools must apply and receive grant approval each year. On September
17, 2024 (R2024-1227), the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved an
agreement with SBPBC to grant disbursements from the DESTF to be used for their
driver education safety programs. Annual disbursements fluctuate each year based on
the funds collected from the civil traffic penalties. Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 disbursement
of funds included approximately $462,822 to the SBPBC. Disbursements to SBPBC
also supported private schools such as The Benjamin School. In addition, the SBPBC
was reimbursed $278,054 for expenses related to driver education road safety
simulators, teacher certifications, road safety car kits, and driving school lessons for
students with a learner’s permit. This Interlocal Agreement will continue to allow the
County to grant disbursements from the DESTF to the SBPBC for their driver education
safety program. Approval by the SBPBC on August 19, 2026, resulted in the delayed
submittal of this Agreement for approval. Countywide (MWJ)

SUMMARY (cont’d.): For Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2027, TLP and the RB were the two
(2) selected agencies to receive funding specifically for pre- and post-release case
management and client support services. The State of Florida FY 2026–2027 General
Appropriations Act provided $500,000 in non-recurring general revenue funds to the
PBC Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for Adult Reentry Services in the form of
a CPO. This funding supports the Provider contracts, who serve returning residents
who are released from FDC facilities and return to Palm Beach County. Approximately
586 adults have been served by the County’s Reentry Program in FY 2026. This
includes 21 pre-release new enrollments at Sago Palm and 185 post-release new
enrollments. The CPO contains broader indemnification by the County than that
approved by PPM CW-F-049.The CPO requires the County to indemnify and save
harmless the Department of Corrections and its employees from liability of any nature
or kind, including cost and expenses for or on account of any copyrighted, patented, or
unpatented invention, process, or article manufactured or supplied by the County.
Additionally, the Business Associate Agreement (BAA) requires the County to be liable
for, and agrees to be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
Department, its employees, agents, officers, and assigns from any and all claims,
suits, judgments, or damages including court costs and attorneys’ fees arising out or in
connection with any non-permitted or prohibited Use or Disclosure of PHI or other
breach of this Agreement, whether intentional, negligent or by omission, by the
County, or any sub-contractor of County, or agent, person or entity under the control or
direction of the County. This indemnification by the County includes any claims
brought under Title 42 USC §1983, the Civil Rights Act. The Risk Management
Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the indemnification
requirements for the CPO and advised staff accordingly. Given that the County will not
be manufacturing or supplying any copyrighted, patented, or unpatented inventions,
processes, or articles as a result of the CPO; the CPO is the result of a legislative
appropriation; and the BAA passes down to the CPO’s subrecipients, which execute
BAAs indemnifying the County, staff recommends BCC approval. In addition, to the FY
2027 General Appropriations Act, these contracts are also funded through ad valorem
funds and Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funding from the Department of Justice.
Palm Beach County is the recipient of funding from state and federal levels, the
providers are sub-recipients receiving a sub-award. Historically, there are significant
delays or possible denial of application for State and at time Federal JAG grant funds,
however, on October 19, 2021; the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved
continuing contracts/interlocal agreements with agencies for reentry services. No
Matching Funds are required. Countywide (RS)

period of July 17, 2026 through July 16, 2029; and
B) approve a Budget Amendment of $478,900, in the E-911 Grant Fund to recognize
the Agreement.
SUMMARY: Palm Beach County Public Safety Department’s Division of 911 Program
Services was awarded a grant (Catalog of State Financial Assistance #72.003) from
the Florida Emergency Communications Board (FECB) and DMS under the 911 State
Grant Program as authorized under Florida Statutes 365.173 in the amount of
$478,900 for a period July 17, 2026 through July 16, 2029, to implement the
RapidDeploy Tactical Mapping and Analytics Project (RapidDeploy) which is part of an
existing service agreement with AT&T. RapidDeploy is a unique cloud-based Softwareas-a-Service (SaaS) platform that assists public safety agencies in reducing response
times, improving situational awareness, call processing times, resource performance,
and data analytics reporting when responding to time-critical incidents. Through a
partnership with AT&T, the platform is interoperable to the existing Call Handling
Equipment at the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAPs) and will provide a common
mapping product for real-time situational awareness in daily operations and large-scale
incidents and emergencies. This Agreement was executed in accordance with R20260705 dated June 9, 2026 which authorized the County Administrator or designee to
accept, approve, execute and submit, electronically or otherwise, on the County’s
behalf, the grant award, representations, certifications, acknowledgements,
assurances, reports, standard forms and documents, reimbursement requests,
amendments, time frame changes, and other necessary documents that do not
substantially change the scope of work, terms, or conditions of the Agreement. The
Agreement includes non-standard indemnification provisions that differ from that
adopted for use by the County under PPM #CW-F-049.The Risk Management
Department and County Attorney’s Office have reviewed the non-standard provisions
and advised staff accordingly. Subject to the limitation of Section 768.28, Florida
Statutes, the Agreement requires the County to hold the State harmless against claims
by third parties arising from performance under this Agreement; and requires the
County’s contractors or subcontractors to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
State against all claims to the extent allowed by law. Given that the Agreement
provides the County with funding that will enhance this public safety service, staff is
recommending Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approval. No County

SUMMARY: PBC Public Safety Department’s Division of Justice Services, entered into
a contract with City of Riviera Beach on September 17, 2024, to provide support and
treatment services to the county’s Civil Drug Court. CFS and DATA were contracted on
November 19, 2024, to provide SUD treatment services for adults and Delinquency
Drug Court for juveniles. Phamatech, Inc. was contracted on January 7, 2025, to
provide drug testing for individuals referred by the Fifteenth (15th) Judicial Circuit’s Drug

Exhaust Fan Replacement and PHK Fence and Security Improvements and
construction phase services for DJT Concourse B Expansion, and DJT Repairs to

Amendment No. 8 also provides budget for Task III Miscellaneous Services. Task III
Miscellaneous Services are services that are not defined at the time of approval of an
amendment to the Consulting Agreement and are approved pursuant to delegated
authority in accordance with PPM CW-F-050 by way of a separate task authorization on
an as-needed basis. Amendment No. 8 also includes updates to various provisions to
ensure compliance with current law and County policies. AECOM is a Dallas, Texas
based firm; however, the majority of the work will be completed through its West Palm

effective July 1, 2023, a governing body of a medium hub commercial service airport
may not approve purchases of contractual services in excess of $1,000,000 on a consent
agenda. Amendment No. 8 exceeds the threshold amount and must be approved on the
regular agenda. Countywide (SB)
