The NET team is a group of Village employees who work with volunteers and residents to fi nd creative solutions to individual code violations that need extra attention. Their strategy is to increase pride of ownership, mutual responsibility, and collaborative problem-solving with property owners when addressing code-related issues and the upkeep of properties. NET team members evaluate how various code violations aff ect neighborhood quality of life, and identify the properties that are most in need of assistance. Then they organize the resources, people and expertise needed to help home owners bring their properties into compliance with Village standards. The NET team consists of members from the Village Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development, and Parks and Recreation Departments, as well as the Village Special Projects Director. Ultimately, the NET team’s goal is to work with residents to ensure neighborhoods remain desirable places to live. Future outreach plans include crime walks, neighborhood clean-ups, beautifi cation projects and eff orts to obtain grant money to support neighborhood enhancement initiatives and community revitalization. If you have a potential neighborhood issue that needs attention, please feel free to contact the NET Team at (561) 841-3376. NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT TEAM The Village NET brought together a dedicated group of volunteers recently to help spruce up two houses off Prosperity Farms Road. NET looks for innovative solutions to make sure neighborhoods stay attractive, and their most recent eff ort was a big success thanks to volunteers from the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Paint Your Heart Out Palm Beach County, Generation Church and others. Village Councilmember Susan Bickel was out showing support also.

A second party was held August 10th, as the summer rains stopped just in time to create a beautiful night. Village staff cooked hot dogs and hamburgers at the parties, and many people got their fi rst look at the space where the clubhouse used to be. Village pool parties have been popular with residents for many years and will continue when the new clubhouse is complete next summer.

Public Works responded and worked for a while, then called out the Fire Department to make sure the rescue attempt would continue safely. Together, they spent more than an hour reaching and climbing into the muddy drain, eventually rescuing all six ducklings! They were placed into mom’s nearby pond and they all swam back to her together! Great work by Public Works and Fire Department!

IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Just about everywhere you look in the Village of North Palm Beach, you’ll see progress, improvement or something new happening. At the direction of the Village Council, staff is working hard to make sure the amenities of the Village are as attractive and functional as ever. Here are a few examples: Right: To make sure the Country Club golf course remains a top-quality golf venue when the new clubhouse opens next summer, crews are planting grass seedlings that are taking root and will be ready for play in December. The seedlings (shown in close up photo) are from a grass called “Latitude 36,” which is known as an excellent grass for golf courses. “Sprigging” at golf course Right: Major renovations continue at Anchorage Park, including construction of a new seawall and the installation of new docks and boat slips. The “bowl” area near the playground is being leveled and new sod is being planted. The south dog park (for small dogs) also is closed while new sod is being planted. Anchorage Park upgrades Right: Village Public Works crews maintain roads and facilities, and provide trash removal services for residents. An old gate at their compound on Prosperity Farms Road created security and safety concerns and had to be opened manually. A new electrically operated security gate was recently installed, costing $18,234. Public Works compound SEPTEMBER 2018 | 13 COUNTRY CLUB GROUND BREAKING Village breaks ground on Clubhouse construction The Village Council began construction of the new North Palm Beach Country Club building recently with the ceremonial turning of the fi rst shovels of dirt. The construction portion of the project is now offi cially under way. The Council was joined by the Village Manager and department heads, as well as several representatives from the fi rms the Village has hired to plan, design and build the new 37,000-square foot clubhouse and restaurant. “I remember when I was a kid, this was the place to be,” said Mayor David Norris. “Everybody came up here and it was the centerpiece of the Village. I think with this fi nal piece, it’s going to be the centerpiece again, and it’s going to do something wonderful to U.S. 1. And I think it’s going to bring us all closer together,” he said. The ground breaking event lasted about 20 minutes and was streamed live on Facebook. About 50 people attended the event. The golf course will open again with new grass in December, and the new clubhouse is expected to open in late summer next year.
