College Park Neighborhood Special Meeting
Saturday, August 23rd
5-7 PM
First Congregational Church
1415 North K Street
Everyone is invited!
The College Park Neighborhood Association is holding a special meeting
on Saturday, August 23rd to allow friends and neighbors another
opportunity to hear directly from the City about the Lake Worth 2020
plan and the bond referendum that will appear on the ballot in the
August 26th election.
Representatives from the City will be on hand to present detailed
information about what the plan will include city wide and block by
block, the proposed timetable for the improvements that are planned as
well as what passage of the bond will cost individual property owners.
A special table will be set up with City staff members and computers
to calculate the cost in actual dollar amounts based on information
retrieved from the Property Appraisers website for individual
properties using the most conservative parameters.
As a Neighborhood Association, College Park neither supports nor
opposes any candidate or question that comes before the voters. The
purpose of this meeting is to offer neighbors an opportunity to learn
more about the bond referendum so that they can make the most informed
choice when they vote. This is not a formal debate on the question
from those in favor of or opposed to the bond. This is strictly to
provide information to anyone who wants it. Comments and questions
will be welcomed and answered.
Neighbors from anywhere in the City of Lake Worth are invited to
attend and participate. Coffee, cool beverages and light refreshments
will be served. Polling place information for the election on Tuesday,
August 26th will be available. The question as it will appear on the
ballot is as follows:
