Update on the PBSO & PBC FIRE RESCUE – Saturday, June 18th, 4 p.m. @ Brogues

This meeting will be providing information about the current status of the PBSO and the Palm Beach County FIRE RESCUE in Lake Worth. 

        - Please leave up your PBSO signs

The law enforcement issue is far from over.  June 30th is the final day to notify the Sheriff that we will not be continuing with their services.  ANYTHING could happen. 

        - City Commission Meeting Tuesday, 21 June @ 6 p.m.

The contract has not been signed, but Sheriff Bradshaw has been assured that it will be on the agenda for June 21st.  That is when the vote will most likely take place.  It is critical that we get PBSO supporters to this meeting.

Please join us at Brogues this Saturday at 4 p.m.

Secure Lake Worth's PUBLIC SAFETY

This is about our PUBLIC SAFETY. The law enforcement issue is far from over; the contract is not signed and we have until June 30th to notify the Sheriff that we will not be continuing with their services.


The PBSO is under no illusion that this is the end of it. They KNOW this will be coming back again next year, despite the two year contract. After all, the City of Lake Worth breaks contracts all the time.


The dais is now turning their focus on the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. Once again, we are throwing good money after bad, paying the Willdan group $35,000 for a study we don’t need. Just like the PBSO, the PBC Fire Rescue has cost us less than the LW Fire Dept. Similarly as with the PBSO, the contract for the study was done without an RFP and the consultants have a financial interest in recommending the termination of the PBC Fire Rescue contract.

The pension issues are a tool the City Manager and 3 of the commissioners are using to fool the public. Both pensions are now closed plans. No one can enter them. Reconstituting the LWFD or the LWPD, will not change this. The money owed to those in the pension will still have to be paid. If either the LW Fire or Police Departments were to be reformed, NEW pension plans would be started. The existing ones would not be affected.

Another attempt to JEOPARDIZE our Public Safety

The City of Lake Worth has hired the Willdan Group, the same group that did the study in which it states "the City of Lake Worth has made a conscious decision to move forward with establishing the Lake worth Police Department" on page 47.

From the Palm Beach Post:

"Lake Worth to study reestablishing its own fire department "

Future City Staff Positions to be filled with Volunteers?

That's right folks....... we will be volunteering at the library in the morning, the fire department in the afternoon & the police dept. at night if the majority of this commission and the city manager get their way.

They want to see these departments with a substantial staff of volunteers. We will be required to give up our jobs to fufill our volunteer positions and consequently lose our homes.

Does this make sense to you?

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
