POOL PARTIES

Village summer pool parties return with a splash Though the Village pool was closed for several weeks during demolition of the old clubhouse, it re-opened with a big splash on July 27th with more than 100 people coming out for a Friday night Village pool party.

A second party was held August 10th, as the summer rains stopped just in time to create a beautiful night. Village staff

cooked hot dogs and hamburgers at the parties, and many people got their first look at the space where the clubhouse used to be.

Village pool parties have been popular with residents for many years and will continue when the new clubhouse is complete next summer.

NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT TEAM

Neighborhood Enhancement Team makes Village look good Outreach program seeks to improve NPB neighborhoods Are you aware of the Village Neighborhood Enhancement Team?

The NET team is a group of Village employees who work with volunteers and residents to find creative solutions to individual code violations that need extra attention.

Their strategy is to increase pride of ownership, mutual responsibility, and collaborative problem-solving with property owners when addressing code-related issues and the upkeep of properties.

NET team members evaluate how various code violations affect neighborhood quality of life, and identify the properties that are most in need of assistance. Then they organize the resources, people and expertise needed to help home owners bring their properties into compliance with Village standards.

The NET team consists of members from the Village Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development, and Parks and Recreation Departments, as well as the Village Special Projects

Director. Ultimately, the NET team’s goal is to work with residents to ensure neighborhoods remain desirable places to live.

Future outreach plans include crime walks, neighborhood clean-ups, beautification projects and efforts to obtain grant money to support neighborhood enhancement initiatives and community revitalization.

Neighborhood Enhancement Team 560 U.S. Highway 1 North Palm Beach, FL 33408 (561) 841-3376

If you have a potential neighborhood issue that needs attention, please feel free to contact the NET Team at (561) 841-3376.

The Village NET brought together a dedicated group of volunteers recently to help spruce up two houses off Prosperity Farms Road.

NET looks for innovative solutions to make sure neighborhoods stay attractive, and their most recent effort was a big success thanks to volunteers from the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Paint Your Heart Out Palm Beach County, Generation Church and others. Village Councilmember Susan Bickel came out to support the good work also.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Excess Fertilizer = Pollution Fer�lizers make things grow! And that’s a good thing if it’s your yard.

But when excess fer�lizer is picked up by rainfall runoff, it is carried to our waterways, where it can cause many water quality problems (like algal blooms)!

Keep Pollution Out of our Waters!

SAM

But YOU can help!

• If your community has a fer�lizer applica�on ordinance, get a copy and understand the rules.

• Always sweep up fer�lizer that has accidentally been applied to hard surfaces.

• Don’t apply fer�lizer when heavy rainfall is forecast (2” or more).

• Keep a 10-foot wide buffer zone that is fer�lizer free next to waterbodies.

• Save yourself �me and money by conver�ng your landscaping to na�ve South Florida plants that don’t require fer�liza�on.

COUNCIL RECOGNITION

Council recognizes long-term Zoning Board member At a recent Council meeting, Mayor David Norris and the Village Council recognized Louis Daniello for his service to the people of North Palm Beach. Mr. Daniello served on the Zoning Board of Adjustment for 23 years, from 1995 through 2018, and served as Vice Chair from 2007 through 2010.

Council approves contract for Public Safety building roof repairs The Village Council recently approved a contract for $563,040 for roof repairs at the Public Safety building.

Over the last two years, the Public Works Department made several repairs to the roof. The amount of damage and rot they were finding with each repair was increasing steadily, and there were indications the 20-yearold roof had been leaking unnoticed for a long time.

In more recent weeks, workers discovered mold affecting some areas of the building, so some employees have been temporarily moved to other offices while mold removal work is under way.

The Village will pay $307,000 of the total cost and the rest will be paid by insurance. Police and Fire Rescue services remain fully operational at the building and have not been affected.

DUCK RESCUE

Fire Department, Public Works rescue baby ducks The Village Fire and Public Works Departments recently sprang into action when a citizen notified the Village about a distressed mother duck hovering at a storm drain at the Northlake Promenade Shoppes on U.S. Highway 1 and Northlake Boulevard.

Public Works responded and worked for a while, then called out the Fire Department to make sure the rescue

attempt would continue safely. Together, they spent more than an hour reaching and climbing into the muddy drain, eventually rescuing all six ducklings!

They were placed into mom’s nearby pond and they all swam back to her together! Great work by Public Works and the Fire Department, keeping their skills sharp while helping wild life and the environment!

IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

A lot of progress in a lot of places...

Just about everywhere you look in the Village of North Palm Beach, you’ll see progress, improvement or something new happening. At the direction of the Village Council, staff is working hard to make sure the amenities of the Village are as attractive and functional as ever.

Here are a few examples:

“Sprigging” at golf course Right: To make sure the Country Club golf course remains a top venue when the new clubhouse opens next summer, crews are planting grass seedlings that are taking root and will be ready for play in December. The seedlings (shown in close up photo) are from a grass called “Latitude 36,” which is known as an excellent grass for golf courses and athletic fields.

Anchorage Park upgrades Right: Major renovations continue at Anchorage Park, including construction of a new seawall and the installation of new docks and boat slips. The “bowl” area near the playground is being leveled and new sod is being planted. The south dog park (for small dogs) also is closed while new sod is being planted.

Public Works compound Right: Village Public Works crews maintain roads and facilities, and provide trash removal services for residents. An old gate at their compound on Prosperity Farms Road created security and safety concerns and had to be opened manually. A new electrically operated security gate was recently installed, costing $18,234.

COUNTRY CLUB GROUND BREAKING

Village breaks ground on clubhouse construction The Village Council began construction of the new North Palm Beach Country Club building recently with the ceremonial turning of the first shovels of dirt. The construction portion of the project is now officially under way.

The Council was joined by the Village Manager and department heads, as well as several representatives from the firms the Village has hired to plan, design and build the new 37,000-square foot clubhouse and restaurant.

“I remember when I was a kid, this was the place to be,” said Mayor David Norris. “Everybody came up here and it was the centerpiece of the Village. I think with this final piece, it’s going to be the centerpiece again, and it’s going to do something wonderful to U.S. 1, and I think it’s going to bring us all closer together.”

The golf course will open again with new grass in December, and the new clubhouse is expected to open in late summer next year.
