For a half century, the building was the only hospital for blacks in five South Florida counties. Integration shut it down in the late 1950s. It stood empty for decades, then was renovated in 1999 as low-income apartments. It later became the national headquarters for the Charmettes service organization.
It then went into foreclosure and was sold in 2010 to Broward County-based Real Estate Services and Management for $106,000. It closed about a year and a half ago after a water pipe broke, according to police and neighbors.
LeNeve said Wednesday that Mayor Jeri Muoio and Commission President Sylvia Moffett, whose district includes the building, have been working with all parties on a deal.
Palm Beach Gardens Needs Term Limits has been collecting signatures for several months for two referendum questions: to amend the city charter to limit council members to two three-year terms; and to have that restriction apply to current council members.
The city council, following what it believed were the supervisor of elections’ requirements, approved a resolution July 10, authorizing her [Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher] to place the questions on Nov. 4 ballots, provided the group got the required signatures.
But Bucher wrote the city clerk July 16 that the resolution would have to be revised because it did not provide the language to appear on the ballot. “We have worked very hard to establish a professional working relationship with your office and that of our legal counsel; however, we are unable to accept documents that fail to meet legal requirements,” Bucher wrote. “I would appreciate a greater effort of review of your Code of Ordinances, Florida Election laws and our mutual contract, so we may avoid this happening in the future.”
In the early hours of Friday, July 18th, we attacked the Nissan Dealership in the Olympia Automall by spraying brake fluid on and slashing the tires of new yet-to-be-sold cars. We did this in solidarity with Amelie, Carlos, and Fallon (Better known as the 5E3 Prisoners.).Click here for video.
These three were arrested in Mexico City in January 2014 in alleged connection the firebombing of a Goverment [sic] Building and Nissan Car Dealership in the center of the city. Whether these three be innocent or guilty, we know they desire a world that is free from domination, a world where anarchy has a potential to flourish and our enemies are forced to deal with consistent attacks. We know that Amelie, Carlos, and Fallon are brave individuals who will be able to handle whatever any state-force chooses to throw at them. We are inspired by their courage, and their confinement only make us wish to continue our attacks on institutions of domination, support for each other, desire for a world free of prisons and capital.
We attacked this dealership to let our comrades know that they are not alone, that despite their imprisonment the anarchist struggle still continues on. We hope to see more actions like this occur.
Remember; It's Easy To Attack!
The Houston Astros and Washington Nationals still want to share a new spring training stadium in West Palm Beach, but other cities in Florida and Arizona are trying to court the two teams.
“I know that different municipalities have been reaching out to both teams, but it’s still the preference of the Nationals and Astros to make this happen in West Palm Beach,’’ Giles Kibbe, general counsel for the Astros, told The Palm Beach Post on Monday.
Without naming specific cities, Kibbe said several are talking about either a single-team or a two-team facility. “I get calls from both Florida and Arizona, but our preference is very clear about getting a deal done in West Palm Beach,’’ Kibbe said.

The developers and the city have moved forward with the process despite three separate legal actions on the project. Proponents have called it an attractive addition to the waterfront, while some residents decried it as an eyesore.
Citizens for Thoughtful Growth, a neighborhood group, filed two separate court actions asking the courts to declare that the city broke its own rules in January when it approved the project.
A judge later ruled GAK can partially intervene but cannot file any motions or counterclaims or take part in the gathering of facts. And on June 10, GAK filed its own suit against Citizens, arguing the group’s legal moves constituted “tortuous interference and abuse of process.”
"Asking the legislature for all the money to do a project almost never works. The City has to have skin in the game too."The Senator was referring to the 2020 Bond Vote on August 26. The Senator went on to say, if the 2020 Vote passes:
"I will then be able to go to the legislature and say 'the citizens of the City have made the commitment to do it,' now it's up to us to try to find a way to help."Most people would have a positive take on what the Senator said, right? The Senator being a former Mayor, now a State Senator, is in a unique position to help the City. Someone with a keyboard doesn't agree.
“Tuesday's election -- a non-partisan affair between two Democrats -- will reveal whether the citizens of West Palm Beach see through her [WPB City Commissioner Shanon Materio's] muck.”As you, the voter, educate yourself on the Lake Worth 2020 Bond ballot question on August 26 I suggest you ignore the “muck” from the “Fire Ant” and ignore his next creative writing assignment before election day.
The Palm Beach County League of Cities recently learned from a report about the C-51 Reservoir Project that the $433 million project on the Palm Beach Aggregates land primarily will benefit municipalities in Broward County and southern Palm Beach County.
At the league’s July 23 meeting in Juno Beach, attendees learned that the project is designed to store billions of gallons of water that are otherwise released to tide, disrupting the ecological balance of the Lake Worth Lagoon. The project will release the water instead to areas to the south that face serious water shortages.

“The C-51 is considered more of a regional project than a local project, although governments in the area and adjacent to the C-51 Basin need to be a part of the discussion and formulation of this project as they continue to get into more details,” Tropepe [Lisa Tropepe, an engineer with the Engenuity Group and past president of the league] said. “There’s always a concern about the balancing of excess water in the wet season and the lack thereof in the dry season.”
SFWMD staff has confirmed the feasibility of moving water from the C-51 Canal through Lake Worth Drainage District system using the E-1 Canal through southern Palm Beach County to Broward County. Additional analysis is being conducted to determine seepage losses or gains of water moved into Broward County.

Katie McGiveron, who lives in Lake Osborne, doesn’t buy the city’s arguments. In June, she and Atlantis resident Dennis Dorsey formed Citizens Against Unfair Taxation, a campaign group to defeat Lake Worth 2020, the bond referendum. As of July 21, they’ve raised $2,150.Please share this link with your friends and neighbors.
“It’s not that I hate Lake Worth,” McGiveron said, “It’s not a question of ‘We don’t have enough money.’ It’s more of a question of ‘You mismanaged the money I gave you.’” She doesn’t trust the city with the money, especially when the tax bill for homeowners will go up.
The 30-second commercial began airing on television stations last week, and came after a group opposed to the train service released its own television advertisement criticizing the project.
On Wednesday, the company sent out a mass email asking recipients to visit a website that allows supports to submit endorsement letters to local leaders.
“As the project progresses, it is important for governmental entities and elected officials to hear your supportive voice,” the email said.
