MARK HODGKINS RETIREMENT
After more than 35 years leading
Village baseball, basketball,
football, soccer, tennis and
swimming programs, one-of-
a-kind Parks & Recreation
Director Mark Hodgkins
has decided he loves
shuffleboard!
Mark recently announced
his retirement plan at
Village Hall, much to the
disappointment of many
who work with him.
He is known for bringing a
great attitude to work every
day, and can be counted on for
his quick wit and plenty of friendly
conversation.
Mark says he will remain in the area, so he expects
to keep in contact with many of the people he has
met and worked with over the years.
And that’s good news not only because he is
so well-liked, but also because he has a deep
historical knowledge of the Village, its people and
its events, and people want to hear from him.
He says he has enjoyed working with so many
great people over the years, and he always
enjoyed having a variety of different issues and
experiences on the job. As a life-long
sports fan and athlete, Mark says
he’s happy he got to work in a
field that he loves.
In the future, he hopes to see
the Village continue to build
on his work and develop
more good Park and
Recreation programs that
include as many people as
possible.
He says the thing he likes
most about the Village is the
family atmosphere that remains
strong as successive generations
stay and raise their kids in North
Palm Beach.
The Village greatly appreciates all that Mark
has accomplished in his years of service to the
community, and the great customer service he
provided steadily to everyone he met.
He will be missed, but those who know him
are glad he will find some time to enjoy new
opportunities, and the Village wishes him all the
best.
There will be a retirement open house for Mark on
Friday, March 8, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in Anchorage
Park. The public is welcome to attend.
Oh No, Say It Ain’t So!

KNOW YOUR CODE / Boat & RV Survey
The Village is in the process of
surveying residents about the storage
of boats, RVs and trailers on residential
properties. The brief survey will provide
valuable feedback that will help the
Village Council develop boat and RV
storage policies that best preserve the
Village’s quality of life.
Many people in the Village own these
vehicles and want to store them outside
their homes, but other residents don’t
want to see the vehicles from their own
yards or from public streets. Screening
the vehicles creates various challenges
for some people, and it is important to
be as fair as possible to everyone.
Most of the survey’s questions relate to
the screening of boats and RVs, though
two questions relate to delivery of the
monthly Village newsletter. The idea to
conduct the survey began in the fall as
many residents were attending Council
meetings with strong opinions about
storage and screening.
A random selection of 1,100 households
in the Village received the survey. The
more residents who fill it out and send
it back, the more accurate the results are
likely to be. If you received one, please
send it back in the envelope provided.

A Message From Constitutional Tax Collector Anne Gannon’s Office
on the north side of Northlake Boulevard.
Public involvement is critically important to the
redevelopment process and to the future of the Village
life and property values, so residents are strongly
encouraged to attend and to get involved.
Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Future meeting dates are:
• March 13
• April 16
• May 13
• June 6
For more information about the Code Update meetings,
visit www.VillageCodeUpdate.org.
The Village is holding a series of monthly citizen workshops
to plan for future business development on U.S. Highway 1
and on Northlake Boulevard.
At the meetings, consultants will present proposed changes to
the Village Code of Ordinances that are intended to encourage
private sector investment in local business properties.
If the proposed changes are implemented, they will have
a significant impact on the look and design of commercial
buildings and landscaping, potentially resulting in new
business development, as well as increased shopping, dining
and entertainment experiences within North Palm Beach.
Updates to the Code are a major component of the Citizen’s
Master Plan, which the Council approved in October 2016.
Key recommendations of the Master Plan include:
• Redefining U.S. Highway 1
• Rewriting building codes based on design, rather than usage
• Improving Prosperity Farms Road
• Prioritizing redevelopment areas
There is a lot involved in updating the rules of property
redevelopment, so each meeting will cover different aspects
of the proposed Code changes, such as plans for the Twin
City Mall site, New zoning rules for the Camelot Inn, the
Crystal Cove business complex and the IHOP restaurant.
There also will be guided discussions about off-street parking,
building height, outdoor seating regulations and businesses

MARCH 2019 | 7
Construction crews at the new Village Country Club
are now working on the second floor of the building,
preparing the walls and columns that will house the
clubhouse restaurant, kitchen and banquet rooms.
From the concrete floor that separates the upper
and lower levels of the building, the view that diners
will see as they sit on the covered patio becomes
clear.
Looking west, diners will overlook the 9th and 18th
holes of the golf course. Looking north, they will see
the pool area.
Also from the second floor, U.S. Highway 1 out
front can now be seen. Though most of the 1st floor
was built below ground level, the second floor will
rise high enough to provide an elevated view of the
Country Club grounds and the businesses across
U.S. 1.
Virtually all of the 1st floor was built with concrete
and steel, and the 2nd floor will be structured the
same. Crews are building the 2nd floor walls using
cinder block, concrete and steel. These will be the
structures that will hold up the roof.
Despite the concrete walls, the clubhouse will have
large windows on all sides, making the rolling golf
course view the focal point of both the dining area
and the multi-use banquet rooms.
Additionally, work on the covered walkways
surrounding the building is in progress, as well as
the elevated porte-cochere, which is the covered
drive-up entrance where visitors can be dropped off
outside the clubhouse lobby.

RECYCLING FURNITURE/Egg Hunt Notice
Local teen offers suggestions for furniture re-use
Dear Neighbors,
My name is Skylar, and I am 17 years old. I have lived in the
Village my entire life, and in the past few years I have become
increasingly aware of how frequently furniture is placed in the
swale to be removed as garbage.
Couches, armchairs, wooden chairs, dressers, and side tables
are all common sights. Unfortunately, much of this furniture is
still in usable condition, but goes to waste: it is either ruined by
rain or sprinklers or simply taken to the landfill before anyone can salvage it.
Understandably, many people lack the time or the vehicle space necessary to transport large,
unwieldy items such as dining tables and couches to a resale store or other organization. However,
several local groups are willing to pick up items for free:
• Vietnam Veterans of America: Quickly schedule a pick-up online at vva.org/donate or through
pickupplease.org.
• Faith Farm Ministries: Go to www.faithfarm.org/palm-beach-north-donation-pick-up-reguest to
schedule a call with a local thrift store representative to arrange a pick-up.
• Florida Breast Cancer Foundation: Arrange a pick-up at pickupsforbreastcancer.org.
• The Salvation Army: Call (561) 688-9153 to schedule a pick-up.
• Goodwill: Dial (800) 645-8164 to arrange a pick-up.
With just a call or a few clicks, you can have the satisfaction of knowing that your furniture will have a
second life in the home of someone who needs it rather than just being thrown away.
Sincerely,
Skylar
Save the date!
