Message from the City Manager--
At the recent City Commission Work Session, the City Commission directed me to undertake negotiations with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office regarding the Law Enforcement Service Agreement (LESA) for fiscal year 2012. Myself and Sheriff Ric Bradshaw began the negotiations with the express desire to formalize a law enforcement service contract that would maintain the current level of service provided by the Sheriff's Office and be still affordable to the City of Lake Worth.
After two weeks of very detailed and comprehensive discussions, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and I have reached agreement on the terms of the LESA for both fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2013. The specific provisions of this agreement are being formalized by the respective staffs of the City and the Sheriff's Office. Both Sheriff Bradshaw and myself anticipate the proposed LESA will be finalized by Wednesday, June 8, 2011.
The proposed LESA was made possible by the collective efforts and commitment of Sheriff Bradshaw, myself, and each of our respective support and command staffs to continue to provide the Lake Worth community with quality law enforcement services, at a fair and affordable price, that protect the safety and welfare of all residents.
I am very much aware and fully understand the real passion and interest of the entire community on this issue, and I would like to urge you all to exercise patience and calmness during the final days of these negotiations in order to have a successful and professional conclusion. I am asking you all to please consider not sending staff, PBSO, City Commissioners and others with emails of concern and support over the next four days. Each member of the City Commission and myself are very aware of the public support for the PBSO contract and I would respectfully request that everyone please respect that Sheriff Bradshaw and myself will be able to firm up the final details of the Agreement for a mutually successful conclusion for both the City and PBSO.

Javier is right on this one.
The pavers, are there still pavers and cavers? in this city are even putting the negotiations down. What a bunch lead by a negative person in College Park. Will their dirty agendas ever end?
