The City of Lake Worth wants to create a separate commission meeting for the Electric Utility. A special meeting will be held tomorrow, July 31 at 6pm, for this purpose to approve.
Electric Utility meetings of the City Commission shall be held on the last Tuesday of each month, in the Commission Chambers, at City Hall, 7 North Dixie Highway, Lake Worth, Florida beginning at 6:00 P.M.
From the Resolution 46-2018:
Electric Utility meetings of the City Commission shall be held on the last Tuesday of each month, in the Commission Chambers, at City Hall, 7 North Dixie Highway, Lake Worth, Florida beginning at 6:00 P.M.
If an Electric Utility meeting date falls on a holiday or conflicts with the need for a Regular or special meeting of the City Commission, the Electric Utility meeting may be re-scheduled to another date ideally during the last week of the month or the Electric Utility meeting may be cancelled.
Electric Utility matters may be heard at Regular and special meetings of the City Commission. Except as set forth herein, the Electric Utility meetings shall follow the same format, procedure and have the same rules of procedure as a Regular meeting of the City Commission.
A very important discussion on the agenda is under New business 5F--our 138kv tie line at Hypoluxo. Just this year we had two system failures one causing a fire. According to city manager, Mike Bornstein, he suggested that the failure was because of aging equipment or really bad luck.
There is no doubt that we need a 2nd tie-line. It's a matter of where it should be and at what cost. Last year, Mr. Bornstein said that he would have a plan and identify a funding source by the end of the 2017 year.
