Appointments approved — The addition of Sandy Beckett to the South Palm Beach Town Council left several vacancies on town boards, and Beckett was credited with the initiative to bring the boards back to full membership. As a result, residents Lewis Saltiel, Maribeth Gagnon and Leslie Finnie were voted in as members of the Citizens Action Advisory Board, Peter Finnie to both the CAAB and Planning Board, and Steve Nordlinger to the Architectural Review Board and Planning Board.
More CPZ meetings held — CPZ Architects was not on hand to report on its progress in planning the new Town Hall at the January council meeting, but Town Manager Jamie Titcomb stepped in with an update. Another set of meetings was held in mid-January, and Titcomb said the plan was to present drawings to the public at a meeting in either late February or early March.
“My personal objective is to break ground in calendar year 2025 on a new facility,” Titcomb said, “so I want to keep pushing on the timeline to make sure we get there.”
Transportation plan approved — The Palm Beach County transportation plan was approved with little discussion. South Palm Beach is one of the 39 municipalities in the county being asked to approve the plan.
Hinterland payment approved — The council approved a payment of $52,012.80 to Hinterland Group Inc. for emergency work performed in late 2024 on the town’s lift station. The damage was from an impeller being destroyed in the sump pump station by a piece of equipment going through the storm system.
