A few items on the Lake Worth Commission Agenda

Lake Worth commission Meeting tonight

Under Presentations there are two that you don't want to miss:

1.A  The City Clerk retired! Deborah Andrea will be honored by the commission for her service to the city.

4.D`  Two founders of non-profits with long involvement with youth empowerment, swimming,snorkeling and marine wildlife will present possible ideas for helping Lake Worth Beach. Maui Goodbeer, founder of Streetwaves, has dedicated his life to bringing under-served South Florida youth out to the ocean to learn to swim, surf and sail. Dan Volker, a LWB resident and founder of Project Seahorse, has years of experience with diving, teaching children to snorkel and introducing them to the wonders of underwater life. Together Maui and Dan would like to help link our pool and our potential underwater park.

Let's do everything to save our pool!

New Business:

E. Lease Renewal with FDOT for the Sidewalk Café Permits
SUMMARY: The Lease Renewal with FDOT authorizes an additional 5 years of Sidewalk Café leasing of sidewalk and valet parking space.

The time to end sidewalk cafes is now. Parking is scarce enough without these restaurants taking up parking spaces and crowding our streets with sidewalk cafes. Covid can't be the excuse anymore.

I. Commissioner Malega wants a discussion on the residence of the city manager and utility director. These top administrative employees need to live in our city.

L. Approve the use of $50,000 From Biden's American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to support a partnership with Legal Aid of Palm Beach County.

The American Rescue Plan provides $21.6 billion for states, territories, and local governments to assist households that are unable to pay rent and utilities due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Covid is essentially over. Jobs are there. Lake Worth, what gives with this socialist giveaway plan? Essentially this is paying rent for people who are not looking to work which saps morale, slows wealth creation and becomes a habit of idleness.

Good for you… there are so many people with “problems.”

streets need to be cleared!

Restaurants should not be at 125% capacity to make up for covid. Some of us want to go downtown and not eat at the restaurants but we cant find a space to park.
