authorizes local governments to make the most efficient use of their powers by enabling them to cooperate with other
localities on a basis of mutual advantage and thereby to provide services and facilities that will harmonize geographic,

WHEREAS, Part I of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, permits public agencies as defined therein to enter into
interlocal agreements with each other to jointly exercise any power, privilege, or authority which such agencies share
in common and which each might exercise separately; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 125.01, Florida Statutes, the Board of County Commissioners of Palm
Beach County is empowered to establish and administer programs of conservation and to enter into agreements with
other governmental agencies within or outside the boundaries of the County for joint performance, or performance of
one unit on behalf of the other, of any of either governmental entity's authorized functions; and

WHEREAS, certain species of prohibited invasive non-native vegetation have a variety of noxious qualities.

the County; and
WHEREAS, the 1989 Comprehensive Plan, as amended, mandates that the County shall continue efforts to

WHEREAS, eradication of prohibited invasive non-native vegetation will require the combined efforts of the
municipalities and the County to stop their spread; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has established and funded a grant program to financially
assist municipalities and other public agencies with removal of this invasive non-native vegetation from publicly
owned lands and related educational activities, and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, terms, and covenants hereinafter set
forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1 - PROJECT TO BE COMPLETED BY THE GRANTEE:
The Grantee agrees, during the term of this Agreement, to assist in the removal of invasive non-native vegetation
within the County as specifically set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. The Grantee shall
coordinate work on the project with the County's Department of Environmental Resources Management, hereinafter
referred to as the Sponsoring Department, and shall submit all invoices, reports and records to the Sponsoring
Department, as specifically set forth in Exhibit B and Article 8, hereof.
ARTICLE 2 - PAYMENTS TO GRANTEE/REIMBURSABLE:
The County shall pay to the Grantee as reimbursement of the Grantee's expenses, an amount not to exceed 5,000.00,
provided the Grantee completes the removal project as described in Exhibit A, and meets the estimated match
requirement of $5,000.00 as noted in Exhibit A. Activities eligible for match requirements include (actual)
contributions (e.g., equipment usage/direct operating expenses/in-kind services), funding from other non-County
grants and replacement planting with vegetation native to Florida. Costs related to in-kind services (e.g., planning &
design) shall be limited to salaries and fringe benefits. Only those costs incurred after the effective date of the
Agreement will qualify as matching funds. County funding can be used to match grants from other non-County
sources; however, the Grantee cannot submit reimbursement requests for the same expenses to more than one funding
source or under more than one County-funded program. The Grantee will bill the County upon completion of the
project, for expenses actually incurred and paid, up to the amounts set forth in Exhibit A for the project. The Grantee
shall be reimbursed on a cost reimbursement basis for all eligible project costs upon receipt and acceptance by the
Page 2
County of a properly completed Payment Request Summary Form, provided as Exhibit B. In support of the Payment
Summary form, the Grantee must also provide, from its accounting system, a listing of expenditures in detail sufficient
to evidence actual payment and that said expense was necessary in the performance of the Scope of Work described in
Exhibit A. The Grantee shall supply any further documentation such as copies of paid receipts, canceled checks,
invoices or other documents deemed necessary by the County. All supporting invoices and receipts must clearly state
that goods and/or services were invoiced to Grantee and not to an individual or "Cash." In the case of reimbursement
for a portion of a salary, the canceled check submitted as invoice must be payable to the referenced individual and
memorandum as such on the check. Reimbursement requests received from the Grantee will be reviewed and
approved by the Department of Environmental Resources Management, 2300 North Jog Road, 4th Floor, West Palm
Beach, FL 33411-2743, which will indicate that the expenditures have been made in conformity with this Agreement
and send the payment request to the County's Finance Department for final approval and payment. The invoice must
be submitted along with a final report, as described in Article 8 below.

that may change and be set forth by the legislature.
B. In the event the Grantee maintains third-party Commercial General Liability and Business Auto Liability in
