Unanimous!

Tonight’s meeting commanded a unanimous vote on all four items on the Agenda.

1. 4% increase in waste removal fees now up to $19.50
   
2. 3% increase in stormwater up to $6
   
3. tentative operating and debt service rate of 5.9999mils + .3401 or a total of 6.340 mils
4. Two Beach Protection Charter Amendments for November’s Ballot

Primarily there will be language drafted to secure recreation as our primary use at the beach and control the size and intensity of commercial uses.

The next amendment has to do with the prohibition of beach nourishment dredging projects within property limits of Lake Worth beach as well as the prohibition of dredge and fill.

I thank the City Commission for wanting to finally go forward with protecting our beach. It will be up to the people at the polls, something we have been advocating for several years. We are confident that the voters will vote "yes" to protect the beach allowing all of us to enjoy the ancillary operations there while protecting the beach from increased commercial activity.
