The purpose of the Public Hearing is to hear the comments of the
public concerning the proposed 1983-84 operating budget, including
Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and the Country Club.
There was no legal notice of this Public Hearing published. The
TRIM (Truth in Millage) bill stipulated. that the Palm Beach County
Tax Assessor send out a Notice-of Proposed Property Taxes to every
owner of real property in the County. Therefore, it was not
necessary far the Village to publish legal notice of this Public
Hearing in the newspaper. However, it was necessary to publish
a legal notice concerning the use .of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds
in the proposed 1983-84 operating budget. This legal notice was
published in The Post on August 37, 1983 and posted according to
law.
Mr. Arthur Uiksne, 724 Prosperity Farms Road, stated that he
did not feel the Village had a full service 911 program,
basically because we did not have the ANI-ALI system, which is
the system with the capability to trace a call's origin when
the dispatcher can`t get information needed to respond to an
emergency call.
Mr. Bob Russell, Old Port Cove, stated that the Village should
reconsider Public Safety funding for next year. He said he has
had a look at some of the equipment they are using and it seemed
to him there ought to be some funds to buy some new equipment.
He suggested that the Council take the money from the sale of
a confiscated drug boat and allocate. it to Public Safety.
Mrs. James S. Smith, Old Port Cove, stated that those living
in the north end of the Village are left out on just about
everything. He complained about the Parker Bridge being open
so much of the time, the traffic problems near the bridge and
the medians which lack curbing.
The questions posed by Messrs. Viksne, Russell and Smith were
answered by the Village Council, and all comments directed toward
the Council by these gentlemen were taken into consideration.
Minutes recorded by: Dolores R. Walker, CMC
Village Clerk
There being no further business to come before the Council,
the Public Hearing was adjourned at 7:33 p.m.
