Our Public Safety at Risk with the PBC Fire and Rescue Department now

Once again the majority of the city commission has approved another study by the Willdan Group.  That's right, the same group that delivered the 161 page study for the dissolution of the PBSO in Lake Worth and recreating the Lake Worth Police Dept.

That's what the study said the intent was (see Page 47).  NOW, the majority of the commission and the city manager are claiming "We want the PBSO".   According to them, it is ALL up to the PBSO to negotiate down to our terms.  It won't be the cities fault if we lose the PBSO, because the city "wants the PBSO".


So once again we the citizens, residents and business owners are paying for yet another study that has a predetermined outcome. 


From the Staff Report on the Agenda for the Special Meeting held on Thursday, May 26, 2011:

Department with a budget not to exceed 6 million dollars that ensures the safety of its

community and identifies options of contracting out of specific services to be identified;

Create a model organization for the establishment of a new Lake Worth Fire and Rescue
