Public meetings in December and very important deadline this month here in our vibrant, tiny City of Lake Worth.

From the City of Lake Worth’s Official Calendar* below is a list of public meetings in December
and other notable dates as well.

Note that an important deadline is com-
ing up on Dec. 12th at Noon.

[Unless otherwise specified, meetings begin in City Hall at 6:00; to learn more about these City Advisory Boards click on this link.]

• Tuesday, Dec. 12th at Noon: The end of Qualifying Period (QP) to have ones name be put on the official ballot for elections to be held on March 13th, 2018.‡ QP began last Tuesday, Nov. 28th; to learn how to qualify for the ballot, why the ballot question that passed last March is very relevant now, and about other things too such as, “What is a shill ”, click on this link.
• Also on Dec. 12th: City Commission Work Session and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) meets at HATCH located at 1121 Lucerne Ave.; meeting begins at 6:00.
• Wednesday, Dec. 13th: Historic Resources Preservation Board (agenda for HRPB should be available by Friday, Dec. 9th).
• Thursday, Dec. 14th: Tree Board meets at 5:30 in the City Hall conference room.§
• Wednesday, Dec. 20th: Recreation Advisory Board meets which should be very interesting. Why? Because RAB hasn’t had a quorum in over 12+ years. Are there any RAB members left any more? No one knows for certain.
• December 25th–26th: Municipal offices closed for Christmas and holiday seasons.
• However. . . a CRA meeting IS scheduled on the City calendar for Tuesday, Dec. 26th.
• Please note: Municipal offices will be closed on Monday, January 1st for New Year’s Day.
