Tomorrow's Commission Meeting

Unless you want to sit through presentation after presentation on the Agenda tomorrow night, don't bother showing up at City Hall until well after 6pm.

Tuesday night's City Commission has seven presentations on the Agenda. As each presenter gets 10 minutes, this could mean at least 70 minutes not including commission questions and comments. Perhaps we will all luck out and it will not be this long.

5. PRESENTATIONS: (there is no public comment on Presentation items)
A. Proclamation declaring October 5, 2010, as Lady Pride Basketball Day
B. Proclamation declaring October 21, 2010, as Lights on Afterschool Day
C. Proclamation declaring the month of November as Hero Month and November 1, 2010,
as Be a Hero Day
D. Recognition of the Energy Conservation Assistance Program grant recipients
E. Snook Islands public use facilities update by Palm Beach County
F. College Park Neighborhood Association update
G. AVDA'S domestic violence prevention in Lake Worth update

6. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Perhaps we can object to so many presentations under public participation.

What is important on the agenda will be The City Manager and Public Services Director's recommendation to discontinue the lease with the Lake Worth Resource Center. The Mentoring Center's occupancy of the Shuffleboard Court building has been a bone of contention since inception with the majority of residents never having supported it.

Also on the table will be discontinuing/not renewing a lease agreement with the Lake Worth History Museum and the Lake Worth Art League or Lake Worth Credit Union in order to provide additional space for City Staff and City programs.
