Budget on Consent Agenda tonight

Along with sixteen items on the Consent Agenda, (that's one way of getting a lot of discussion off your plate) Lake Worth has to amend its new budget--again.  They "forgot" to include the following which is on the Consent Agenda:

General Fund:  $102,547
Information Technology (partial rollover):  $242,000
Beach Fund:  $46,005
Electric fund:  3 new positions with benefits, funding not divulged
Water Fund (partial rollover):  $2,111,711
Local Sewer Fund (partial rollover):  $1,526,384
Regional Water rollover:  $357,173
Fleet Garage Fund rollover:  $127,296
Road Improvement Fund rollover funding: 323,181
Local Sewer Fund rollover:  $308,186
Grant Fund rollover:  $503,023

This amounts to nearly $5.6 million not including 3 new employees in the Electric Utility. How does one "forget" this?

I would imagine the same way it seems totally impossible for our beach to operate in the black, as long as the gang of 3 continues to reign supreme. Naw, couldn't possibly be any funny-money monkey business going on here. They can always fire whoever dares to disagree. See an elephant??? Naaah--- What elephant??
