The rankings were compiled by thehomesecurityadvisor.com, a website that rates home security alarm systems and companies. Among the factors evaluated in rating North Palm Beach highly were the 2016 FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics for cities with a population of 5,000 or more. Violent crimes were weighted more heavily than property crimes in the analysis to reflect the severity of the crimes. The Home Security Advisor website says this rating method "provides a strong statistical indicator of the overall safety of the community. If you are considering relocating to Florida, these communities are among the top safest cities in which one could reside." Earlier this year, the National ass I Council for Home Safety and Security ranked the Village among the 10 safest cities in Florida, and in 2016 and 2017, the Village crime rate dropped 6.8 percent and 18.7 percent respectively. "Our officers work day and night to ensure residents of the Village get top-quality police services, but without the help of our community, Flash Dash Winners 2018 Congratulations to Nicolas Jara De La Maza (18:24), and to Amanda Witt (21:57). They were the winners in the 2018 Flash Dash, which was a 5K run through the beautiful neighborhoods of North Palm Beach. The race began and ended in Anchorage Park, and a shorter run was held for kids. The event used to be known as the Halloween Ghost Run. 4 1 VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH we would not be nearly as effective," said Police Chief Rick Jenkins. "We need citizens to call us if they see something unusual, and together we will continue to earn these great ratings by industry experts." Tequesta was the only other Palm Beach County community to rank in the top 20 on the list. 1 rL_1 POLICE DEPARTMENT Police marine patrol officers protecting manatees Village police officers assigned to marine patrol work will be busy during winter months protecting manatees in Village waterways and encouraging safe boating thanks to som extra funding assistance from the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM). Each year, ERM provides funding to cover costs associated with increased marine patrol efforts. This year ERM will provide the Village with up to $16,600 for additional "on -water law enforcement" in local waterways. Costs increased enforcement include overtime for the additional hours officers work to provide manatee protection and awareness outreach, as well as gas and maintenance of the boat. into Palm Beach County's warm coastal waters during the winter. As the manatees from the north arrive, +"o r„mber ... using South Florida waters may ,ase by 10 to 20 times." An ERM brochure says, "Many manatees from northern Florida and southern Georgia migrate south 'he increased manatee population can lead to increased collisions with boats whose operators may not be aware of their presence. By engaging people in conversation, distributing informational materials and sometimes writing citations for olations, officers are hoping to reduce idents and harm to the manatees from b1jccuing boats, in addition to potential injuries to people. Officers say it's important to obey all laws governing boat operations in Florida waters, to be constantly on the lookout for manatees and other hazards while driving a boat, and to never operate a vessel while under the influence of alcohol. Innovative SmartWaterC SI can help fight crime Did you know there is a way to invisibly label your valuable items so they can be identified if they are ever stolen? The product is called SmartWater, and the Village Police Department recommends it as an effective crime -fighting tool. HOW IT WORKS SmartWater is a colorless and odorless liquid invisible except under ultraviolet light. Each bottle has a unique code identifying the owner. You purchase SmartWater through the company's website, www. SmartWaterCSI.com, using a promotional password provided by the Police Department. The product will be mailed to you by the company. When it arrives, just spray or dab it on to your valuable items, and they will be marked for years with invisible, but traceable code that is specific to you. If a marked valuable ever is stolen, then found by police, a scan of the item with the invisible code will lead police to you so the property can be returned. SmartWater also can be traced for weeks on the skin of anyone who comes in contact with it, making court convictions of burglars and thieves more likely. The liquid is non carcinogenic and lasts a minimum of five years on a piece of property. The product was developed in the United Kingdom about 20 years ago and is deployed in more than a million homes. The Village Police Department began using it four years ago, and was the second agency in the County to initiate a SmartWater program. Riviera Beach and the Village were the first to deploy the product in the southern U.S. SmartWater advisory signs can be posted at your house as a deterrent, and many Village residents have been using SmartWater to help secure their property. Also, the Palm Beach County Jail scans arrestees for SmartWater traces on suspects, helping solve other crimes. If you are interested in purchasing SmartWater or have questions, contact Sergeant Lou Pearson at (561) 841-3317. DECEMBER 2018 1 5 NEW COLLECTION DAYS Bulk item and yard waste pickup days change January 1st In order to provide better collection of vegetative yard waste, the Village Sanitation Division will begin picking up yard waste on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays starting in the new year. The days for pickup of bulk items will change to Tuesdays and Thursdays. The changes take effect beginning January 1st, but there will be no collections that day because of the New Year's holiday. The pickup days for residential household garbage and recycling are not changing. The new schedule simply swaps pickup days for yard vegetation and bulk items, such as old appliances and furniture. The main benefit of the new schedule is that residents will now receive vegetation pick-up three days a week instead of two. And since a lot of vegetation is put out on the weekend, it will be picked up a day sooner under the new plan. The changes also allow the Village Sanitation Division to work more efficiently, freeing up resources to provide better service. If you have any questions, contact the Public Works Department at (561) 691-3440. or • Monday - Garbage & Vegetation • Tuesday - Bulk & multi -unit recycling • Wednesday - Garbage & Vegetation • Thursday - Bulk & single-family recycling • Friday - Garbage & Vegetation Council tightens parking ordinance near Lakeside Park In response to complaints from residents in the Lakeside Park neighborhood, the Village Council recently approved changes in the Village parking ordinance that prohibit parking on streets and swales in the immediate vicinity of Lakeside Park. Some residents said that non - Village residents were parking on the streets to use the park on weekends, causing neighborhood disruptions. The ordinance changes were presented to Lakeside Park -area residents in an October survey that was delivered to every house 6 1 VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH on affected streets. The survey was designed to get resident input about the parking changes and to determine if they wanted the Village to implement the new restrictions. A majority of the people who responded said they favored the parking restrictions, with exceptions for local residents The new ordinance language now restricts parking during daylight hours on weekends and holidays on Anchorage Drive North, Lakeside Drive, Dory Road (North & South), Cruiser Road (North & South), Buoy Road, Lighthouse Drive, NO PARKING THJS SIDE OF STREET k=� Atlantic Road, Lakeside Court and Lakeside Circle. The Village also is working on a plan to improve signage in the park as a deterrent to inappropriate activity, and the police department will continue its close observation of the park. Village Country Club Update Work on the new Village Clubhouse's foundation, floor slab and 1st floor support walls is continuing in preparation for crews to begin construction of the second floor. Because much of the first floor will be below ground level, the walls have been given a special waterproofing treatment, and much of the underground work for the electrical and plumbing systems is now in place. The 1st floor will house the golf operations and golf carts, while the upper level will include the restaurant, banquet rooms and main lobby. Restaurant Village Manager Andy Lukasik has been speaking with various restaurateurs who have expressed interest in becoming the vendor to run the Country Club restaurant and catering facilities. No deals have been made yet, but some interesting opportunities are being explored and considered. Golfing greens On the golf course, the new grass continues to grow in and is being monitored regularly by experts to determine when it will be ready for play. The new clubhouse won't be completed until summer, but the golf course will re -open for play within the coming weeks. Check the Village website often for the latest updates to find out when (www.village-npb.org). Management Also, the Village will soon have a new Golf Pro to assist with getting the course up and running, and a Country Club manager will be hired to oversee and coordinate operations of the restaurant, catering, golf course, pool and tennis facility. There are a lot of plans being made, so the future success of the Country Club looks as promising as the past 55 years.

DECEMBER 2018 I 13 WPBF showing beauty of golf course and waterways Have you noticed a camera on the golf course by the Parker Bridge? The Village is working with WPBF Channel 25 News to allow the temporary positioning of a remote "Sky Camera," which extends up 20 feet to capture beautiful views of the golf course, Lake Worth Creek, the bridge house and the Intracoastal Waterway to the east. The WPBF equipment provides cut -away shots for the news anchors to highlight scenic views before going to commercials.
