Honorable Dennis P. Koehler
Chairman and Members of the
Board of County Commissioners
Subject: Report concerning State of Florida, Department of Commerce
Economic Development Funding for Congress Avenue and Bee
Line Highway
Commissioners:
As you are aware in August 1980 the Board of County Commissioners, on behalf
of Motorola and Pratt & Whitney, applied for State economic development funds
for the 4 laning of Congress Avenue'and Bee Line Highway, respectively. On
October 29 Mr. Stephen Albee, Director of the Division of Economic Development
informally met with members of the Board of County Commissioners to outline
what conditions he felt would be attached to the grants awarded by the Economic
Development Road Fund Committee. Mr. Albee indicated he would recommend to his
Committee that a grant be made available as follows:
1. For congress avenue, $l Million immediately and $1 Million after
adoption of the State budget in July 1981, provided that Palm Beach
County match the grant dollar for dollar.
We have received notification (attachments) from Mr. Albee as to the outcome
of the two applications:
1. No funding approved for improvements to State Road 710 (Bee Line
Highway) from State Road 809 to State Road 706.
2. Funding approved in the amount of $l Million for the 4 laning of
Congress Avenue along with an assurance that it is their intent
to fund an additional $1 Million with anticipated second year
funds. The second year funding is also qualified with assurances
to Palm Beach County that should the economic development second
year funds not be budgeted, the Florida Department of Transportation
would fulfill this obligation.

Page 2
While the notification letter on Congress Avenue did not entirely detail
Mr. Albee's informal comments made on October 29, it is understood that
1. Motorola must be "in the ground" within 180 days, and
2. Palm Beach County is to fulfill the D.R.I. concern by matching
dollar for dollar the necessary amount to construct Congress
Avenue from West Boynton Road to 22nd Avenue North.
Several alternatives are available for Palm Beach County to explore, they are
1. Provide the cash match by adjusting this fiscal year's capital budget.
2. Attempt to negotiate with the developers of the adjacent property
(De Bartola Mall) in an effort to accelerate their committment to
make improvements to the road system, in particular Congress Avenue.
The estimated highway expenditures required of De Bartola in accord-
ance with the zoning approval of 24~ is worth $1.6 Million (see attachment)
3. Wait until budget workshops for F.Y. 1981/82 and include the $2 Million
in the budget at that time.
Of the three alternatives, number one would not accelerate the $4 Million con-
struction since the State will not have its funds available prior to July of
1981. Alternative number two, after numerous meetings the developer appears,
that aside from having development problems, to be in a wait ,and see posture.
(See Attachment). Alternative number three appears to be the only clear cut
alternative.
This report is submitted for your review and direction.
Sincerely,
. I /"

Dear M~: /)~
We are delighted to inform you that the Economic Development
Road Fund Committee has recommended your project, to four-lane
the presently existing two-lane highway providing access to
Motorola, Inc., for funding the amount of $1,000,000. It is
our intent to fund $1,000,000 out of the second year should the
Legislature appropriate monies to us. Should this money not
be approved, the Department of Transportation has agreed to
fulfill the state's obligation for the second year. However,
we must caution that this funding is contingent upon various
commitments, agreements, and events which must take place prior
to the letting of contracts and transfer of funds.
The law requires the Division of Economic Development to
transfer the funds on a project-by-project basis to the Depart-
ment of Transportation once contracts have been awarded. To
this end, the Department of Transportation district office will
soon be in touch with the appropriate party. to this application
to work out all details in order to expedite the completion of
this proJcess. ,,"
.;'~ ... , '- ;i' , .
We certainly hope that a successful agreement can be
,,Aeached .,between al,l parties. - .

Dear ~::D~
It is with regret that we must inform you the Economic
Development Road Fund Committee did not recommend the
proposed improvements to State Road 710 from State Road 809
to State Road 706 project for funding. As you probably know,
we had requests in excess of $52 million and an available
fund of $7 million. All the applications represented very
worthwhile projects, and the committee had a most difficult
decision.
We do appreciate your application and regret that funding
was insufficient.

RE RESULTS OF MEETING WITH DEBARTOLO REPRESENTATIVES CONCERNING CONSTRUCTION

Director. Traffic Division
As part of Resolution No. R-78-l132 approving Zoning Petition No. 78-190.
the following condition was imposed as part of the developmental approval
of the proposed Boynton Mall: "
'~etitioner shall construct Congress Avenue as a four-lane roadway
with median from Access Road "E" through the intersection with
New Boynton Road (SR-804)."
plans for the construction of Congress Avenue from Boynton Road through N. W. 22nd
Avenue are currently under preparation and that portion of Congress Avenue which
the developer is committed to construct is included in these plans.
DeBartolo's estimated share of the construction costs, or their portion of this
project, is $1.6 million. At this meeting. it was proposed that DeBartolo pro-
vide these funds to pabn Beach County to meet their obligation concerning Congress
Avenue. These funds could then be used as a match against the State's $2 million
Economic Development Funds which have been committed to Palm Beach County to serve
the Motorola ,Corporation. The DeBartolo representatives indicated a willingness
to cooperate with the County following this concept. However, at this time they
do not have an approved site plan and must come back to the County for a number
of revisions. There are also four large parcels between Congress Avenue and the
Mall site which are currently zoned agricultural. The developer wishes to address
these parcels and obtain appropriate zoning and developmental approvals concurrent
with obtaining his final developmental approvals for the Mall. He indicated that
when all these developmental approvals had been obtained so that there was no ques-
tion as to his ability to proceed with the development of the Mall and the adjacent
property, then at that time he would be willing to enter into negotiations concern-
ing providing funding toward Congress Avenue.

It is pointed out that when the developer applies for an amended site plan,
the Board of County Commissioners will have the opportunity to readdress the
conditions of approval and will have an opportunity to specifically address
the cash contribution of monie s toward the developer's obligation for the
construction of Congress Avenue in lieu of the condition as currently written.
The developer indicated that it was his intent at this time to proceed with
the Boynton Mall project.

Commissioners
Subject: Economic Development Road Fund Hearing -- Tallahassee - October 23, 1980
Commissioners:
Last Thursday, on behalf of the Board, I appeared before the Committee who will
decide how the $7 Million of Economic Development Road Funds will be allocated
statewide.
As the Board is aware, we made applications for two (2) projects, 4-Laning of
Congress Avenue for Motorola and th& 4-Laning of Bee-Line (SR 710) for Pratt and
Whitney.
The Committee received a summary
sideration of specific projects.
follows:
from "staff" of all 37 counties
Palm Beach County's summary by
requesting con-
"staff" was as
CONGRESS AVENUE:
REQUEST _ 4-Laning of Congress Avenue for purposes of satisfying traffic rated
impacts from Boynton Road West northwardly to the proposed Motorola Plant.
The Department of Transportation of the State of Florida estimates construc-
tion cost at $3.65 Million. The Applicant, Palm Beach County, is requesting
a "match" of $1. 9 Million as 50% of the total construction cost.
BEE-LINE HIGHWAY (SR 710)
REQUEST _ 4-Laning of the Bee-Line Highway, phased in four (4) construction
segments so as to alleviate serious conjestion of the major access facility.
This would allow for continued economic growth of the Pratt and Whitney
facility. The Florida Department of Transportation estimates the total con-
struction cost for 19 miles of road to be approximately $12 Million of which
the 1st segment is estimated at approximately $3 Million. The Applicant,
Palm Beach County, is requesting a "match" of $1. 5 Million as 50% of the 1st
construction segment.

,
Realizing that the Board has not budgeted any sort of match for eithes Congress
Avenue or the Bee-Line Highway, 1 emphasized that the application specifically
did not anticipate or require a matching amount of local funds to qualify. As
for the Congress Avenue application, I did indicate the committment and general
understanding between the Board of County Commissioners and the State of Florida
as per our Resolution Number R-79-1586 whereby the Resolution states the following:
I} To immediately let a contract to a consultant at a cost of approximately
$100,000 to prepare construction plans for the widening of Congress Avenue
from N.W. 2nd Avenue to north of N.W. 22nd Avenue.
2} Upon the Department of Commerce funds being made available, the Board of
County Commissioners would let and administer the appropriate contract for
the widening of Congress Avenue from N.W. 2nd Avenue to north of N.W. 22nd
Avenue. This would make a 4-lane, Congress Avenue facility available to
Motorola concurrent with the opening of the first phase of the development
in 1981.
3) Palm Beach County will proceed in a timely manner with the phased construc-
tion of 4-laning Congress Avenue from north of N.W. 22nd Avenue to the
existing 4-lane Congress Avenue at Lantana Road. This construction will
be accomplished prior to the opening of Motorola's second phase currently
scheduled for 1990.
1 indicated that Palm Beach County made it clear that its match was that indicated
by Paragraph 3 above. The Committe~ appeared concerned over "my" position on the
statement of "matching" and further 'concerned over the cost above the $2 Million
as has been disscussed over the past 2 years.
As to Bee-Line, I also indicated what 1 believe it is the Board's position to Not
match any Economic Development Funds to aid in satisfying a long overdue state
obligation (Le., 4-laning SR 710).
Looking at this situation, I realize the Committee has a monumental task and with
the small appropriation, in all probability, will not be able to fund the total
construction"r!!quest~d. To this extent, :1 h~ve scheduled a~me:eting with the 'c
local Florida Department of Transportation staff to outline a series of design
modifications in an attempt to reduce the Congress Avenue improvements to the ex-
tent possible. As for Bee-Line, likewise the Florida Department of Transportation
should look ,at smaller projects if funds are not available to the desired amount.
As we explained when we made application in August of this year, the $2 Million
spokep of almost 2 years ago must be adjusted to reflect 2 years of'road construc-
tion escalation at 20% a year and furthermore, the State required that the construc-
tion improvements be designed and administered in accordance with the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation standards which adds at least 25 to 30% to the job.
Realizing that Congress Avenue is a County Road, it is my recommendation that this
Board willingly accept whatever amount is made available through this fund, provided
however, that there is no requirement for 100% matching by the County. If successful,
we will again redesign and work towards constructing whateverimprov.ements the funds .
will support.

As the Board is aware, we made applications for two (2) projects, 4-Laning of
Congress Avenue for Motorola. and the 4-Laning of Bee-Line (SR 710) for Pratt and
lfui tney .
The Committee received a summary
sideration of specific projects.
=ollows:
from "staff" of all 37 counties requesting con-
Palm Beach County's summary by "staff" was as
CONGRESS AVENUE:
REQUEST - 4~Laning of Congress Avenue for purposes of satisfying traffic rated
impacts from Boynton Road West northwardly to the proposed Motorola Plant.
The Department of Transportation of the State of F10rida estimates construc-
tion cost at $3.65 Million. ~he Applicant, Palm Beach County, is requesting
a "match" of $1.9 Mill~()n as 50% of the total construction cost.
BEE-LI~E HIGHWAY (SR 710)
REQUEST - 4-Laning of the Bee-Line Highf,./?Y, phas2d in four (4) constr1.:cticm
segments so as to alleviate serious conjestion of the major access facility.
This would allow for continued economic growth of the Pratt and Hhitney
-facility. .The'Florida Department of Tr2nsportation estimates the tota1. con-
structi,on cost for 19 miles of road to be approximately $12 Hillion of which
,the 1st segment is estimated at approximately $3 Hillion. The Applicant,
Palm Be;>ch County, is requesting a "match" of $1.5 Million as 50% of the 1st
construction segment. --..-

Realizing that the Board has not budgeted any sort of match for either Congress
Avenue or the Bee-Line Highwa~I emphasized that the application specifically
did not anticipate or require a matching amount of local funds to qualify. As
for the Congress Avenue application, I did indicate the committment and general
understanding between the Board of County Commissioners and the State of Florida
as per our Resolution Number R-79-1586 whereby the Resolution states the following:
I} To immediately let a contract to a consultant at a cost of approximately
$100,000 to prepare construction plans for the widening of Congress Avenue
from N.W. 2nd Avenue to north of N.W. 22nd Avenue.
2} Upon the Department of Commerce funds being made available, the Board of
County Commissioners would let and administer the appropriate contract for
the widening of Congress Avenue from N.H. 2nd Avenue to north of N.H. 22nd
Avenue. This would make a 4-lane, Congress Avenue facility availabie to
Motorola concurrent with the opening of the first phase of the development
in 1981.
3) Palm Beach County will proceed in a timely manner with the phased construc-
tion of 4-laning Congress Avenue from north of N.j,. 22nd Avenue to the
existing 4-lane Congress Avenue at Lantana Road. This ~onstruction will
~e accomplished prior to the opening of Motorola's second phase currentlx
scheduled for 1990.
I indicated that Palm Beach County made it clear that its match "as that indicated
by Paragraph 3 above. The Committee appeared concerned over "my" position on the
statement of Itmatching" and further concerned over the cost above the $2 Million
as has been disscussed over the past 2 years.
As to Bee-Line, I also indicated what I believe it is the Board's position to Not
match any Economic. Development Funds to aid in satisfying a long overdue stat~
obligation (i.e., 4-laning SR 710}.
Looking at this situation, I realize the Committee has a monumental task and ~vith
the small appropriation, in all probability, will not be able to fund the total
construction requested. To this extent, I have scheduled a,me:eting with the. ',"
local Florida Department of Transportation staff to outline a series of design
modifications in an attempt to reduce the Congress Avenue improvements to the ex-
tent possible. As for Bee-Line, lik~wise the Florida Department of Transpor.tation
shQuld look at smaller projects if funds are not available to the desired dr.:JQUnt.
As He explained t.Jhen 'tle [ilade applic.:J.tion in Al1gust of tlnis year, the $2 }lillion
spoke!" bf ::llmost 2 ye:irs ago must be adjusted to reflect 2 y~ars of road CDnstr:-nc-
cion escalation at 20% a year and furthermore, the State required that th~ constr.uc-
tion iwprovements be designed and administered in accordance '\:..rith the Florida Depa.:.-t-
ment of Transportation standards <<hich adds at least 25 to 30% to the job.
Realizing that Congress. Avenue is a County Road, it is my recommendation that this
Board '\:"il1ingly accept '\:vhatever amount is .mad---e-available through this funu., p'covided
hm.,rever, that there is no requirement for 100% matching by the County. If successful,
'\:V'e tl1i.ll again redesign and work tm..rards constructing 't..rhatever improvements t'he ,-funds'
