Lake Worth City Commission agenda tonight and, "Hmmm. Is there a way I can watch the meeting tonight?"

Yes! Here is how you do it: At 6:00 use this link and then click on, "Video of Public Meetings". If the video doesn't appear wait a few minutes and try again. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this evening but will have a citizen/reporter or two in attendance to let me know what happens. Continue reading about tonight's meeting and about an interesting item that IS NOT on the agenda:

The interesting news is item 9C on the Consent Agenda at the August 2nd City Commission meeting, the one on "Send the Water South!" that was ingloriously deleted is not on tonight's agenda either. It might appear again some time in the future after the embarrassment fades away. The way that item was addressed must have been quite confusing to all those people who made the trip down from Martin County to support it.

What must have been even more bewildering for those people is finding out the vote was unanimous to delete 9C and how quickly the City Commission tossed it. It was like they couldn't get rid of it fast enough, like a hot potato. Anyhow, below are excerpts from the Commission meeting tonight with some highlights:

It should be a short meeting but then again, a lot of people probably thought the Budget Workshop last week was going to be a short one too.
