Special Commission Meeting on Day Labor Issues

Going on now (11/28 - time now 6:15 p.m.) - click here for live feed.

They are talking with various representatives of non-profit organizations regarding feasibility and logistics of running such a center, the possibility of the City providing surplus property or building which is consistent with the Town of Jupiter model. They are also discussing the implementation of the ordinance enacted a few weeks ago related to the prohibition of picking up of workers from Lake Avenue and requiring them to be picked up at the Shuffleboard Court property. The Mayor called the meeting "hastily arranged". Mary Lindsey made a good point about the neighborhood that is most affected was not specifically invited to the meeting. The Mayor responded that these are just the initial steps in forming the structure of such a center.

One good thing relating to format of the meeting is that it was more of a give and take and not the rigid three minute time limit as is common in other meetings. A trend? Let's hope.

I was interrupted by a phone call or two - the meeting got over with around 7:20 or so. If any of you went, you can leave a comment by clicking below.
