From the College Park Neighborhood Association Meeting 9/23/13 - Presentation by City Staff on Lake Worth 2020


Last night, the College Park Neighborhood Association held a neighborhood meeting where City Manager Michael Borntstein and other city officials made a presentation on the Lake Worth 2020 Master Plan.

The city showed a revised PowerPoint presentation from the original that was used during the August 24, 2013 Visioning Meeting. The video switches between the screen and the speaker. We were told that this version used last night would also be posted on the city's website. I will monitor that and share it when it appears. Until then, I suggest you watch the video in "full screen" mode. Some of the print used on the handouts was too small to read on the sheet or on the screen. I scanned some sheets that were passed out last night and posted them below. I've tried to make them a little more readable. Click on the images to make them larger.

There were about 25-30 people from the general public that attended last night. In the third video of the playlist, you can see the general assemblage of people during the question and answer session. We found out that this is very much still a work in progress and there is no guarantee that it will be on the March ballot. If it is, it might be structured in different ways.

Steve Carr, Finance Director and Jamie Brown, Public Services Director each made part of the presentation.

One note here. There are errors in these charts. One glaring one is the $1,050 first year payment for properties with a taxable value of $50,000. This is a definite work in progress that is updated daily.
