Good one,anon at 5:21.This property is the 3rd highest taxed property in the ENTIRE city ! The people living there are paying for services,but now,just like employee raises, the city is refusing to do it's job. When people in this park call code, they are told that code does not have to do anything for them. They are told to call the motor vehicle dept. EXCUSE ME? NO NOTICE was given to the people that their zoning would be changed. The city sent the notices to THE WRONG ADDRESS! These people had no opportunity to protest the change Bornstein is a real bastard. Gee Michael, how generous of you to pick up garbage for people that have paid for that service !!!Thompson,get your head out of Bornstein's ass and try to be a real reporter. For once.
This sure sounds like another Bornstein move in the dark. These people, most living there for a long time, only found out about this when they could no longer get permits to improve their homes. DENIED! Because you now live in an INDUSTRIAL PARK. What is to prevent this from happening to anyone else? Is there no decency left in this city with this majority commission? The only question is how long it will take this development dynasty to move in with Eminent Domain. March 16?? Does this mean seniors, even long time residents, are no longer welcome? I certainly plan to be there tonight. I understand Diane Jacques is the only representative who has even responded to these folks. Which, by the way, is the job of representative government. It sounds like they are doing everything possible to make this a "blighted area" by preventing the residents from keeping up their homes. City caused blight for the almighty POC. Scott Maxwell will be positively orgasmic--
I like it a lot that she(Diane) is listening to people. If you can't wear the hat, don't sit behind the dais. It's high time we again had representative government; in the Sunshine, not behind closed doors.
The garbage that needs to be taken out is the bow-tied bureaucrat, City Mis-manager Bornstein. Vote Diane Jacques, Frank MacAlonan, and Ryan Hartman on March 15th and get rid of this incompetent scourge on our City.
Isn't William Waters the constant factor here? The APA had a boot camp on Agenda 21 and part of it was about how to get 'policy' passed. It asked if you could get it done in 1-4 steps and how at meetings you needed to stack the deck w/people sympathetic to your cause (or to drown out the people's wishes) and battle 'common sense'! Wasn't William also a Reg Employee (designer of the casino)? I believe this is PROOF that the majority of our reps DO NOT READ THE AGENDA BACK UP and do as staff tells them! Then add in the mayor/chair that likes to limit the peoples AND THEIR REPS COMMENTS, rebutting any time she doesn't like how the conversation a/or debate is going! I am not surprised that the CM didn't catch that they were not paying for garbage pick-up for all those years! Typos, wrong dates & obvious incompetence we get and pay a high price for!
Remember Andre Duany said it in front or our county and the 3 above at the TCRPC (Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council) so there is no excuse they don't know the 'PLAN"!
“No way we’re gonna avoid building the COMPACT CITIES that the 21st century needs”. “There is no way we can dodge the bullet that the CARS are going out, that the AUTOMOBILE dependency is going out, we can’t dodge it in the long run and what I would urge you to do is that whatever we do here…that it be done FAST”.
He admitted the New Structure would be: “City, County, MPO, Seven/50, Florida, USA then United Nations”
Then we got new 2 definitions: Subsidiarity: “We design who makes what decision and when”. “The Principle is: the smallest party that can competently make it, let’s decide as little as possible now and download to others later…because they’ll be more competent to do it”.
See Sustainability IS NOT about being green or self sustaining. Is IS ABOUT sustaining Government Revenue Generators! - Double UGH!
The residents of the park should have contacted their commisioner which is McVoy, have they?
And just a fact here, the year this changed was 2009... The mayor and amoroso were not on the dais, and Bornstein was not the cm. The smoking gun points to Cara Jennings with Joann Golden's finger on the trigger. They put the screws to this over 56 community, let's put blame exactly where it should be.
Meanwhile, this community has not been paying for trash pu and the rest of us have been picking up their tab. Quit it! And pay your damn share!!!
I do not know that the above is factual. This commission loves to blame former commissioners and a former city manager. As said, next they will be blaming George Bush.
One thing for sure, the owner of this mobile home park pays a LOT of taxes to the City of Lake Worth.
If the city changed or eliminated some services there, they were not notified. Why is it now that the city is finally realizing that there is a problem there? How long has this commission and this CM been in their jobs?
Bornstein is given a fat raise and another five years by the trio? It shows their strong support for his (their agenda). Wonder what they'd do if their elderly mother, father, aunt, or uncle were living in the mobile home park? Can't believe what's happening in this city. Forcing hard working city employees to horse trade/negotiate their retirement for a decent wage, handicapped elderly residents thrown under the garbage truck? What's next? The only people in the city making any money seem to be the city manager and his buddy who heads HR. People need to speak out on election day. Winning may come down to a handful of votes. You can bet the trio's supporters will vote. We need to protect our seniors and vote the trio out!
As to why this is coming up now--they just got the big grant, elections looming, let's rush everything we can through for our developer friends just in case the gang of 3 loses their majority. Why do you think they just got paid app $60,000? Granny, move out of the way. WE'RE ABOUT PROGRESS HERE. Not, definitely not, about people. We need more money.
Since it seems the trailer park is owned by one inanity why wouldn't the park owner be responsible for trash pick-up? It would seem they should be. Was the trash collection charge reduced when the city switched the account from residential to commercial? Does the lot owner pay an addition fee on top of their lot rent to the property owner for trash collection? If they city reduced its charge 7 or 8 years ago for trash hauling because of the commercial status change when the zoning changed and the trailer park tenants portion they might contribute to trash collection didn't go down than the trailer park owner needs to perhaps be asked why.
The zoning changes were made in 2009 as stated in the PB post article. Who was on the commission then? I as a quick google search and discovered that in 2009 we had Mayor Jeff Clemons, Vice-Mayor JoAnn Golden, commissioners Retha Lowe, Cara Jennings, and Suzanne Mulvehill. The city manager at thatntime was Susan Stanton.
Maybe the current LW staff and CM discovered the mobile home park was not paying for garbage pickup and is now correcting the omission left over from yes, the previous commission. Guess that's what an internal audit team does-audit your processes.
So it's a FACT Lynn, NONE of the CURRENT commission was on the dais. And we're all left cleaning up yet again for bullshit of the, yes, bullshit mismanagement the previous commission left us to wallow in.
Ya know, the owners of the mobile home park charge these people rent for the lots, and they should provide trash pick up yo the dumpster for their tenants. The owners of the park are Riverstone Communities and they operate in 12 states both all age and o we 55 communities.
I own a lot in a mobile home/RV park in Palm Beach county and we have always had to bring our trash to the dumpsters near the club house. If these residents are too in-firmed to do that, either they as a group need to put pressure and demand their owner Riverstone to do something like utilize their maintenance people in little golf carts to pick up people's trash and placed I the dumpster... Or these infirmed people should live in a place where these things are taken care of for them.
I do NOT know with any degree of certainty that 2009 is some magical year. Because you say it, does not make it so. All these people know is that trash was picked up by their homes and now it is not. They never got a notice.
Thanks for being so concerned about the welfare of seniors. You sound like a peach of a guy and one with all of the answers.
3:55 . I wanted to set you straight. We do pay the 3rd highest tax rate in Lake Worth. We do pay for our waste removal. We do contribute to Lake Worth. The writer needs to get his or her facts straight. Or maybe they are cohorts of the "Fabulous 3". By the way it was only discussed in 2009 regarding the rezoning it did not come into affect until July or August of 2012. Who is shady here??????
Regardless of who you support, this is the second time I've heard about property being rezoned without notification of hearings so that property owners can object. The other area is along the railroad tracks which is now zoned artist overlay and my neighbor who has owned multiple properties there for years couldn't lease out property to a mechanic (the same kind of business that has always been there) without requesting a waiver. He got the waiver, but maybe next time he won't. This is his retirement, he bought these properties years and years and years ago and now the city wants him to move out and sell cheap to the artists?

It just sort of goes together. They treat the employees like garbage and now they won't pick up resident's garbage.

Thought the relevant decisions dated back to 2009. And nobody knew? Held off enforcement for 7 years, is that right?

Diane Jacues is a "representative"?
A CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE OF LW, THIS PARK REACHED OUT TO HER WITH THEIR CONCERNS. How do you like them apples?
I like it a lot that she(Diane) is listening to people.
If you can't wear the hat, don't sit behind the dais.
