Another news bit from last night...

Before the CRA meeting began, I learned that our new Chief Building Official Bob Phoenix is no longer with the City. He might have been here all of a month? He's pictured above during his presentation at the Business Workshop put on by the CRA just about two weeks ago. I was impressed that he could actually get a handle on improving the department. Then, last weekend we find out that the city contracted with Boynton Beach for building department services (click title for link to article.)

When did this come before the city commission? See quote from article by Laura Hannah:

And Lake Worth has reached an agreement for Boynton Beach to provide building services, said Boynton Beach City Manager Kurt Bressner. All cities must abide by a uniform state building code, which makes the task manageable for Boynton Beach.

"It was, bottom line, what's the best way, the easiest way and most feasible way to do this?" Laura Hannah, Lake Worth's assistant city manager, said. "Boynton's offer certainly helps us out. It helps them out... both of us, in our respective operations."

So what's the story and why doesn't anyone know about it? How's it going to work and when does it go into effect?
