Public meetings and other goings-on coming up in the City of Lake Worth.

Very Worth Noting: There was an editor error in The Palm Beach Post yesterday (Mon., 3/4) on p. B3 ‘LOCAL’. It was misreported there will be a Beach Bonfire at the Lake Worth Beach this coming Friday. For safety of nesting sea turtles the Beach Bonfire Season ends in late February.

However, there will be a Lake Ave. Block Party this coming Friday in Downtown Lake Worth. As noted in a press release dated Feb. 1st by Mr. Ben Kerr, PIO:

“Due to the event’s success the City will be expanding the event’s pedestrian zone to include J Street between 1st Ave. South and Lake Ave.”.

Now to recent election information
provided by the City.

Of note the most recent campaign treasurer reports for Feb. 9th–Feb. 22nd, called the G2 report, are posted on the City’s website. To look them over click on this link which also includes the March 12th sample ballot. Election Day is Tuesday, March 12th.

Of note is the race in District 4. Challenger Tom Copeland is surging once again taking in, by far, the biggest numbers on the G2 followed by incumbent Commissioner Herman Robinson. Going down to the wire it will either be a run-off election between Robinson and either Copeland or Richard Guercio.

Are you interested in watching the YouTube video of the City Commission work session last week on possible ways to use 2019–2020 proceeds from this Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding? If you are interested, that YouTube video is at the end of this blog post.

This video is ≈ one hour and ten minutes. Watch in segments if you wish. At one point a former commissioner in District 2 makes a cameo appearance at public comment.

Enjoy!
