All members of staff were present.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Staff was directed to send a letter to the Department of Transportation regarding the Village's
desire to return to the old schedule of bridge openings, i.e. 3 times an hour in the winter and
twice an hour during the summer, as in the past.
The Council discussed having all Department Heads present at Council meetings where their
departmental issues will be addressed. It was the feeling of some members of Council that if the
Department Head cannot be present, they should send a representative who is well-informed on
the issue and who can answer all the questions pertaining to their issues.
It was requested that when letters from residents are answered by the Mayor or the Manager with
questions or complaints, that copies be sent to the rest of Council as a point of information.
PALM BEACH COUNTY DRAFT AGREEMENT -PROSPERITY FARMS ROAD
Discussion took place concerning recommendations of the Prosperity Farms Road Ad Hoc
Committee for Phase I construction and the draft agreement with Palm Beach County for
financial assistance for the Prosperity Farms Road Beautification Project. The Council further
agreed to move forward with the Beautification Project, which is estimated at $1,103,000 before
deleting the irrigation system for Swale areas. The Council agreed by consensus that the
irrigation of the Swale areas be deleted, which would save $255,000, keeping the cost of the
• project within the $1,000,000 grant provided by Palm Beach County. This will be placed on the
Regular Session agenda of June 26, 2003.
