April 16 City Commission Meeting

It started off with two presentations 1) resurfacing project on Lake and Lucerne and 2) Palm Beach Fire Rescue Report. These presentations were followed by 8 Proclamations. Then the commission skipped to the Subregional forcemain break on Florida Mango Road where sewage has entered our waterways, even Lake Osborne.

Finally it got back to the Designation of Appointments around 2:10 into the meeting:

• 1. Appointment of Vice Mayor and Vice Mayor Pro Tem.

Mayor Resch asked for a motion for Vice Mayor. Mimi May nominated Sara Malega. There was no second to the motion so Mayor Resch passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Commissioner McVoy and seconded the motion. She then asked for the vote and it passed to appoint Malega. Public comments followed although the city clerk told the commission that there were public comment submissions before the vote was taken. McVoy had his supporters in the chamber who gave public commentary but their wishes were stomped on as the Mayor went against protocol and Roberts' Rules. The initial vote should have been recanted and then taken the vote after public commentary.
McVoy was voted in as Vice Mayor Pro-Tem
