New docks will leave a little extra room on boat ramp Are you curious to know what the Anchorage Park Marina docks and boat slips will look like once they are installed along with the new seawall? This architectural diagram gives an idea. The darkened areas are the floating docks, which will rise and descend with the tides. They will be guided by pilings (the pink squares) that are sunk into the lake bed. The light gray lines represent the old design and docks. DAYDOOWE I ,a-0• P s EM ■ PROPOSED BUMEA4-1/ % Public Safety building gets needed new roof Police officers and fire fighters can feel a little better about their workplace now that their headquarters has a new roof to keep out the rain. Leaks were increasing and staff had to be shuffled between offices to avoid puddles and constant dripping on rainy days. 4 1 VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH When the old metal floating dock on the south side (left when facing the water) is removed, the access ramp will have more room than before, so two boats still can be loaded side-by-side. This partial view shows 10 of the 16 slips that will be constructed north of the ramp, as well as the north staging dock and gangway. Additional seawall work to the south will begin as funding becomes available. &-0-1 , , r 7 , r- nw-j r 2ff-cr- } * s r ■ � * r t MOORING In ■ • * § * ■ � 4 P3 P3 P-2 1 - i P-2 . P-2. ■ Inwce OF N"TH PALM BEACH POLICE/F[RE RUCUE Ar]k7ELCOW pLEX Help keep Village crime rate low by calling 911 - it's o. k. A message from the Village Police Department Always feel free to call 911 in North Palm Beach if you are unsure about a person in your neighborhood. Do not be afraid you might offend that person by calling. The bad guys know how to exploit your kindness, but in light of all the news stories about crime, someone who is there for legitimate purposes usually will understand and not be offended if the police show up. If they are, it probably means you were correct to call in the first place! Furthermore, officers know full well that the suspicious person may be completely innocent, so it's not like they wrongly put someone in jail just because you called the police. They are trained to ask the right questions, explain why they are there, and to get to the bottom of the issue. If the person is not there for criminal purposes, all is well and they will soon be on their way. But the police can't do their job if no one calls 911, so don't feel intimidated about calling. And you don't have to wait for it to escalate to a life -or -death situation before you call. 911 should be used for any active situation that's happening. In the Village, the non -emergency number, (561) 848- 2525, can be used to report minor incidents that have passed when there is no concern about safety. But if you are unsure which number to call, then don't hesitate — call 911. 0 )/ I I =I make sure to put in your LOCATION i� CALLING 911/Traffic Enforcement 0 High Visibility Enforcement to improve pedestrian, bike safety Palm Beach County ranks in the top 25 counties in the state for traffic crashes resulting in serious and fatal injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists.

The Council voted 4-1, with Vice Mayor Mark Mullinix voting `bio," to set the budget at $27,858,058. That's how much money the Village will have to work with for the next year. The Council also voted 4-1, with Vice Mayor Mark Mullinix voting `bio," to set a new property tax rate of $7.50 for every $1,000 in assessed value. The previous tax rate was $7.33. Council members worked for several weeks to review details of the budget and set priorities for Village staff. Expenditures include: • A Recreation Master Plan • A U.S. Highway 1 Corridor Study for business development • A Residential Code Update • A vehicle lease program • Three new staff positions: 1. General Manager for the Country Club 2. Code Officer 3. Two Part -Time Sanitation Collectors • A storm -water fee analysis • A balanced 5 -year Capital Improvement Program 1. Pool 2.

Addressing the new $7.50 millage rate's impact on the typical North Palm Beach residential taxpayer, Village Manager Andy Lukasik said the increase would add about $59.50 to their annual tax bill.

Village Clubhouse Walls on 1st i floor begin to rise above foundation With the foundation of the new Village Country Club building set in concrete and the shape of the clubhouse clearly visible, the walls of the landmark structure are now beginning to rise. Construction crews are working daily at the site, installing steel reinforcement bars, pouring concrete and laying cinder blocks to establish the walls and columns that will hold up the second floor. Most of the work that's been done has been several feet below ground level, so it is not easily visible to anyone passing by. However, as the walls continue to rise and the second floor of the clubhouse is built, the work will be visible from the road or sidewalk. And the new grass is growing healthy on the golf course, so the front nine holes will be open soon. Visit www.village-npb.org for details or to find out when.
