Cities offer new services - to other cities Boynton Beach sees revenue in providing building services for cities

Click above for link to Sun Sentinel article. Laura Hannah is quoted - from the article:

"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."

I understand the building department function and thought that it might be worth knocking at Palm Beach County's door for this. Contractors are familiar with their system - since almost all have done business in the unincorporated county. I'm not sure it's a good idea to ship off the "Planning" function to another city. I think that, over the long term, that function should be handled on more of a regional/countywide basis.
