Reading tutors sought — Library director Kristine Kreidler said the town has teamed up with the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County to offer tutoring this fall between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Thursdays at the library.
“We do need volunteers and have applications,” Kreidler said.
The job does require training.
“The relationship between the students and the tutor is very important, so it does require a commitment as well,” she said.

Stormwater and flooding program — The Town Council voted to establish a comprehensive Stormwater and Flooding Improvement Program.
This was the town’s way of addressing the increasing challenges posed by stormwater runoff and flooding within the coastal community and outlines a proactive approach to mitigating flooding risks by implementing strategies that reduce the runoff and improve drainage infrastructure.
Fence height limit modified — Fences in the public zoning district have been limited to 8 feet but will be allowed to be 10 feet tall, thanks to a modification of town rules. The Town Council was spurred to make the change after the planning commission recommended it. This modification was requested as a result of town staff’s application for a building permit for new fencing at the town’s tennis courts.
