PAGE 1 1 Village Manager's Message 841-3380 Dennis W. Kelly, Village Manager Pot Pourri Debt Management Article Follow-Up In last months Managers Message I shared with you information re- garding the Village's debt and how we are managing that debt in rela- tion to the new projects we have been consWCting over the last four or five years. Thanks to a couple of telephone calls (which were greatly appreciated) a couple of citizens were curious as to what the interest rates were on the loans made by [he Village. It was a complete over- sight on my part to not include those in the message and for that I apologize. It was a very simple piece of data and the type of informa- tion most people like to know when they are talking about borrowing, debts and loans. So by popular demand here are the interest rates we received on those loans: • Information System Master Plan - $600,000.00 - 3.99% fixed rate for five years (2004). • Public Safety Building, Anchorage Park Activities Building, Community Center Ballfield and Osborne Park Concession stand - $6 million - 3.04% variable rate for 20 years (2017). • Village Hall renovation $1.2 million, Canal dredging $1.4 million, North Sub-station (property acquisition $93,500.00 (seed money), and Anchorage Park parking $93,500.00 (seed money) for a total loan of $2.8 million - 3.29% variable rate for 10 years (2011). Before the latest round of interest rate reductions by the Federal Re- serve Commission our interest rates looked pretty good. The bond market was riding high and borrowing rates were fairly low. The bond market, just not more than a week or two before this writing, fell and interest rates went back up a bit. Subsequently, we were looking like genius's when we bonowed the money and did not look so smart when interest rates went below the good rates we got; subsequently interest cafes have gone back up so now we aze looking smart again. All joking aside we feel we got good competitive rates for these borrowings and [hey have been serving us quite well. Hope this information satisfies the two good citizens that gave us a call asking for the information. Holiday Event Schedule For the month of December the Village has a number of special events occurring in which you might want to mark your calendars. These are all a lot of fun and they really give you a nice strong sense of commu- nity when you either participate in or come to observe these different events. ~~ Two of the strong characteristics of these special events are that they are all family and holiday oriented. There is not an event that we put on that we do not try to incorporate the type of entertainment that would be wholesome for the entire family regardless of age. The first big event you will see announced else where in this newsletter is the annual Ho]iday.BOat Parade that will take place on Saturday, De- cember 1" at 6:00 PM. We have made arangements to make the sec- ond fairway available to the general public to observe the pazade. If you have not been to one of these in the past they are really enjoyable and a lot of fun to see the boats coming up [he Intracoastal Waterway all decorated with their holiday lights. We provide some bleacher seat- ing along the second fairway but you are also encouraged and wel- comed to bring your lawn chair or a blanket and find a spot along the second fairway under the oak trees and watch the boats pass by; or, you may come in your own boat and anchor or idle around the NPB Waterway or the: north end of Lake Worth near Old Port Cove. The boats are literally so close to the shoreline you can almost talk to the people in the boats as they pass by. 7'he parade starts in the vicinity of Peanut Island just south of the Blue Heron bridge at approximately DECEMBER 2 O O 1 6:00 PM and usually makes it-to the north end of Lake Worth just en- tering the Intracoastal Waterway around Old Pon Cove and the Pazker draw bridge at around 6: I S to 6:30 PM. The second event-taking place is the annual holiday tree lighting at the Village Hall. This is always a fun event especially hearing the children from one of our elementary schools sing holiday songs as part of the tree lighting ceremony. We always have refreshments available after- wards and light snacks and the public is always encouraged to attend. The tree lighting ceremony rarely takes more than thirty minutes of singing and tree lighting and then we break for [he refreshments. The parking lot between the Library and Village Hall is closed off for this e3{ent to allow enough roam for citizens to stand and watch as the lights are lit. A third event which is new this year will be the lighting of a Menorah in recognition of Hanukah. Hanukah begins December 9'" and runs through December 17w. the Menorah lighting will be hosted by the Chabad House Lubavitch of Palm Beach which is the Jewish Center on Propserity Farms Road (the old Palm Bible Chapel). Orr the fifth night of Hanukah, December 13's there will be a candle lighting ceremony at 6:00 PM accompanied by a musician along with the traditional potato pancakes. The Menorah will be located in the same location between Village Hall and the Library and the public is cordially invited. A Big Thank You for the Great American Weekend We want to take this opportunity at [he beginning of [he holiday season to thank al] the volunteers that helped with the Great American Week- end. A special thanks to the Village's Recreation Department for the great job they did for setting up the Salute to America celebration that took place Sunday aftemoen and a special thanks to Eddie D'Ambra and Ray Brady for the work they and their comrrtittee did in setting up the Toys for Tots golf tournament and other special programs that took place Ihrougpou[ the weekend. Without the community support and the volunteers there would be no way of carrying off a program of this nature. In addition, a special thank you to Ms. Lil Cunningham for organizing the children's parade and special thank you to the twelve Veterans of the Normandy D-Day Invasion that were there to receive their medals from Congressman Clay Shaw. That was an extraordinar- ily moving experience and very heart warming to see these gentlemen come forwazd for their awards. The event was successful to the extent that the Village Council has directed staff to plan on doing this next year. The Salute to America Celebration was extraordinary in that we only had thirty days to prepare for it because it was in response to the September 11's terrorist attacks. Next year, hopefully we will provide staff and volunteers a little more lead time to organize and get the dif- ferent activities lined up for the weekrnd to make it even bigger and better. In closing, hope you and yours have great holiday season. As always, if you ever have any problems with any services provided by the Village at any level whether it is Public Safety, sanitation, garbage collection, recreation registration for athletic events, etc. please do not hesitate to call any of us within the organization at the department head level or at the Village Manager's office. We want to hear from you and if there is a problem we can solve we will do the best we can to resolve it. A big thanks to all of you for your wonderful support of this ex- traordinary community. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! t n~~ ~~ ~~ PAGE 4 PUBLIC SAFETY sas-2szs 560 U.S. Highway #1 HOLIDAY SAFETY As we participate in the usual holiday outings and activities, it is easy to become distracted and become victims of crime. Please take a moment to review the following tips for a safe holiday: 1. Please secure your purchases in your vehicle trunk. If your) vehicle has no enclosed tmnk, cover them so that they are not visible to strangers. 2. Park in a well lit, high traffic area. When returning to your vehicle, have your keys in your hand and be prepared to immediately enter your vehicle.- 3. Carry your purse close to your body, preferably with a strap across your shoulder and always physically hold on to it. 4. Try to carry a small amount of cash, or if this is not an option, be aware of those around you when you are paying by cash. People wi[b cash-ale easily farge[ed at a check out counters when they are paying for their merchandise: S. Dress conservatively, and leave the expensive jewelry for your holiday party, no[ the mall. 'Thieve target people with easily accessible neck]aces and bracelets that can be snatched off in a moment: 6. If paying by credit card, make sure that any carbons are given to you or destroyed in your presence. 7. At home, make sure that your windows and. doors are locked, even when you are home. All the wrapped presents look nice under the tree, but they are easy pickings for a burglar. Make. sure [hat your gifts are not visible to anyone looking in a window or from your front door. After the holiday, don't tell criminals that you have expen sive new presents by piling the boxes in the trash. Try to cu[ them up and dispose of them in opaque plastic garbage bags. 9. Above all, if you notice anything suspicious, please call the police. Always trust your instincts. If it doesn't look or feel right, you should call immediately. You may deter a crime and save a persons holiday.
