Lake Worth Workshop tonight

Comment Up

The Commission is having a workshop tonight to--

3. UPDATES/FUTURE ACTION/DIRECTION:
  • A. MPO Draft Complete Streets Policy - estimated time 30 minutes (The biggest concern with our streets should be fixing the potholes, not discussing walkable streets) There are 47 Florida municipalities that have a walkable streets policy and the MPO wants Lake Worth to be among them.
  • B. Discuss City advisory board attendance policy - estimated time 30 minutes.
  • C. 26.4 kV distribution and sub-transmission system upgrade - estimated time 1.5 hours, has been deleted from the Agenda.
This should be the shortest workshop in history and will allow the incumbents to get up to the Scottish Rite to sound off for five minutes at the Vernon Heights Homeowner's Association that begins at 7:30. Vernon Heights is not a part of the NAPC.

Lynn,

I know this is off topic but I would like to just inform you, you should check out the letter the City of Lake Worth Union distributed to all the employees yesterday in regards to the raise and pension issue. Its definitely blog worthy.

Should be an interesting letter to read and print. Also I find it very interesting that the Electric Utility pulled out their proposal, most idiotic proposal you can present. LWU is the only utility around that supplies substation with 26kv and distributes it at 26 kv, of course fire the people who actually know and then listen to people who think they know REALLY???? I can not believe we buy into this as citizens

I just heard from a neighbor who does "Valuations" that Lake Worth may well be selling our utility very soon. Maybe that is why??

I am interested to see this anonymous letter as well... What is it regarding with the Union?

This city does so many unscrupulous twisted actions towards its employees and is a pro at misdirection towards the public so who knows what they're cooking up in City Hall. I hope Fpl takes over the Electric!

FPL wouldn't want it

Is it just me or are there more and more pot holes accumulating as the days go by?

I agree FPL would not want the LWU it is under terrible leadership and most of the employees would not be hired by them especially on the management side as they are definitely not qualified to be a part of FPL. But the Money could go to our commissioners dreams instead of repairing the streets and water sysem

Isn't funny how now all the challenging candidates think the bond 20/20 referendum was actually a good idea and want to bring it back to fix our roads and decaying infrastructure.

Lynn Anderson said...

I believe, anonymous, that no one thinks that the original bond for $63.5 million that would have cost the taxpayers $131,000,000.00 a good thing. Not one candidate wants to bring THAT back but they do want to get the roads fixed.

West of I-95 is already 26kv isn't it? Why then is it such a bad idea to change the remaining system to the same? In very simplistic terms, it seems the right thing to do.

Lynn Anderson said...

That's the trouble--just using the word "SIMPLE" says a lot about your theory.
Actually where I live it is all 4kv and it is obvious that you know NOTHING about this. Our electricity is very reliable here.

1 substation is 26KV and it also has 4KV out of it. The remaining 7 substations are fed with 26KV and have 3-4 feeders each that are 4KV so do the math anon it would cost millions to convert all this and yet have both a sub-transmission at 26KV and then a distribution system 26Kv would be a coordination nightmare. Just saying as I have talked to a lot of people that know not only this system but also the difficulty in going this route that 0 other utilities do anywhere. The people that were against this and knew what the right way to convert are gone thanks to our leadership.
