Public meeting tomorrow evening at Lake Worth City Hall, 6:00, 2019–2020 CDBG.


 CDBG. What’s what?


Find out what’s what later in this blog post.

Note the regularly scheduled meeting of the City Commission on March 5th HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Is there a meeting of the EUAB on March 26th? That is uncertain at this time. But more information will certainly be available soon, most probably after Election Day on March 12th.

Now to the topic of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.


Because many in the public were concerned and demanded it earlier this month, a public meeting on 2019–2020 CDBG proceeds was scheduled as soon as possible proving once again that your elected officials ‘Don’t listen to me!’ is not true at all.

Tomorrow (Thurs., 2/28) at City Hall is a Commission Work Session on CDBG. Other than editor Mark Easton from The Lake Worth Herald will additional press and news media be in attendance? Most likely. Maybe even a reporter from The Palm Beach Post will show up.

With this public meeting just twelve (12) days before Election Day — if you are a concerned citizen or from the press and/or news media — get to the chambers in City Hall well ahead of time for a good seat or you will have to stand outside in the hallway and peek through the door window now and then. This is what some refer to as being “sequestered” but that’s not true at all. You got there too late is all.

But always double-check!


Looking over the City’s official calendar it’s unclear if the Lake Worth Farmers Market is now an all-year event or if there is an Electric Utility Advisory Board (EAUB) meeting on March 26th, 6:00, in the City Hall conference room. If you have any questions or need additional information contact the City Clerk, Mr. Ben Kerr, the City’s public information officer or your representative on the City Commission.

FYI: On a serious note. If you haven’t been to the City’s popular Farmers Market yet you better make plans soon. This is an annual Fall–Spring event and ends in April each year.
