PINNED POST: Video of Lake Worth City Commission meeting last night.


A “Pinned Post” is one kept at or near the top of the blog. In this case for the rest of the day (video is below, at end of this blog post).


Note that following this blog post is news about the premiere screening of WPBT’s “On The Town in the Palm Beaches” tomorrow night at the Cultural Council featuring the City of Lake Worth and there is another blog post as well about the exciting Fall/Winter event schedule coming up in this City.

To the City Commission meeting last night. . .


Throughout the day will add more information if necessary. Note that the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting will be held on Oct. 16th.

Last night were the Final Budget hearings, the resolutions which lasted all of seven minutes, followed by a proclamation for Lee Antieau’s 100th birthday, then “Commission Liaison Reports and Comments” (the longest portion of the agenda, about twenty minutes) and then Public Comment at the 46 minute mark. At public comment is the traditional time for a person to announce his or her candidacy for a seat on the City Commission. So the curtain closes once again for the person(s) thinking of running against Commissioner Herman C. Robinson in District 4 until the next Commission meeting in three weeks.

Cathy Turk announced her candidacy four (4) months ago to run against Commissioner Omari Hardy in District 2. So far it’s nothing but hemming and hawing when it comes to anyone up to challenging Commissioner Robinson.

But anyhow. . .

The Consent Agenda passed unanimously last night and shortly thereafter the meeting ended. About forty-five minutes after it started. All conducted in a brisk, orderly and professional manner by all of our elected officials, management and staff.

Watch the video at your pleasure today and recommend watching the entire “Liaison Reports and Comments” section — which begins at the 19:40 mark — which includes the details of Mayor Pam Triolo’s trip to the White House last week.


Without further ado. . .
