Tonight at the city commission meeting, we will listen to an update from the College Park Neighborhood Association. We will have to listen to its invitation/appeal for everyone in the city to go to its Lake Worth 2020 presentation three days before the election. Of course, neighborhood associations are not political or so we have been told.
It's sickening that the City strategically put College Park on the agenda as a presenter tonight. The City really believes that we are all stupid and nothing they are doing is anything but "education." After all, City Attorney Glen Torcivia did a 13 page report telling them that.
Too, another reason is because Mary Lyndsey runs CP and is very influential and is for this YES vote. Although when you drive through CP not all signs are for the referendum, many say to vote NO. It looks very split. It is sad that this could pass and be such a burden and tax increase for so many, no many will likely move out of the city if this thing passes. Older people can't afford this increase as they retire for the next 30 years of their retired lives. I say vote NO!

The meeting is at 6pm tonight at city hall (7 N Dixie Hwy)
Open it up and look at Items and back up I site!
19 NINETEEN Items on Consent Agenda - "public comment allowed during
Public Participation of Non-Agendaed items." If you want to comment on anything
you have to do it in the 2 (TWO) minutes during (Item #7) Public Comment
9. Consent Agenda (19 Items)
ReplyDeleteItem 9C Resolution No. 42-2014 - declare expenditures of City funds for refreshments to be a public purpose
More details on Pg. 68 It covers food for all! Ridiculous but not the worst!
Item 9I Professional services agreement with NZ Consultants, Inc. to provide current and long
range planning, zoning and historic preservation services (Agenda 21? Sustainability, Smart Growth Stuff)
Item 9K The Warranty Deed, as a condition of approval for the site plan and construction of a warehouse building at
3520 Boutwell Road, 3540 Boutwell Road, and 3511 7th Avenue North in the Park of Commerce, will convey a
right of way to the City as part of the Boutwell Road Infrastructure Project. Moving on in the POC!
Item 9R Ratify board members to various City advisory boards. (17 Boards that tell elected what you want w/out asking YOU!)
Last bunch of Commissioners tore down all the boards and rebuilt them in their own image! The Mayor and Vice Mayor have
too many appointed while compared to D#2 shows little representation! Loretta Sharpe Was Fined while on the HISTORICAL
BOARD and is being reappointed! The deck is stacked and as you read on - the public participation has been handed off to
boards and employee's who know more and are smarter than YOU! Listen to ANY Meeting and John Szerdi will tell you!
10 Public Hearings (4 Items)
Item 10B The Ordinance amends six (6) Articles in the LDR’s: General Provisions, Administration, Zoning Districts,
Development Standards, and Supplemental Regulations as well as revises the permitted use table, public noticing
table and review authority table. See Pg. 850 for Removal of (OUR) Private property Rights giving away our power to
Unelected Unaccountable Boards that will blow your mind when you connect the names of the players (BULLIES) FOR
the bonds on Facebook (Lake Worth Voice - gotta read a lot here - pee 1st or you'll piss ur pants!) Pg. 864 Meetings
c) Meetings. The site plan review committee team shall meet on an as-needed
basis to process applications within the time required by these LDRs and
without undue delay. Special meetings may be called by the director for
community sustainability. The meetings shall be noticed (remains and the rest is REMOVED) and open to the public.
The records of all proceedings and the basis for all findings shall be available to
the city commission and the public.
Item 12A Ordinance to Resolution - BAD because they can put it on CONSENT AGENDA (see 19 items and two [2] minutes to talk)
and avoiding the 1st and 2nd PUBLIC READINGS! No Rules - 3 to 2 dais votes and it all can change! Giving away the people's power, shameful!
19 items on consent-what do you expect when the last city commission meeting was on July 8th?!
ReplyDeleteWe don't expect them all to be pushed on the consent agenda with no discussion.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that we've had no meetings leading up to the vote is purposeful. The City doesn't want the issue of the bond coming up at meetings, so no meetings.
ReplyDeleteThe mayor made that crystal clear last night...did not like discussion on the bond.
