A better step toward seeking canal bank stabilization money - SFWMD invites the public to attend their budget workshop to be held Wed., June 12, starting at 1:00 PM

Do you really want to positively impact the budget of the South Florida Water Management (SFWMD)? Here is your opportunity.  The South Florida Water Management District's Governing Board is encouraging the public to attend the agency's budget workshop on Wednesday, June 12, starting at 1 p.m. The workshop, which will be held at SFWMD Headquarters at 3301 Gun Club Road in West Palm Beach, will be open to the public and broadcast on sfwmd.gov.

This may be short notice (I received the e-mail at 11:00 AM, June 10, 2019), but I highly recommend that residents and elected officials attend and advocate strongly for a budget that includes canal bank restoration in Palmetto Bay.

Other governments may promote it by including it in their municipal legislative agendas, but the State will be reluctant to fund items for the SFWMD not requested by the SFWMD Board. - this is our best opportunity!

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The South Florida Water Management District's (SFWMD) Governing Board is encouraging the public to attend the agency's budget workshop on Wednesday, June 12, starting at 1 p.m. The workshop, which will be held at SFWMD Headquarters at 3301 Gun Club Road in West Palm Beach, will be open to the public and broadcast on sfwmd.gov.

Wednesday's workshop agenda will focus on the development of SFWMD's budget for the upcoming 2019-2020 Fiscal Year, which begins Oct. 1. The Governing Board is committed to the continued open development of the budget. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and provide public comment on the agency's budget priorities. The workshop session is informative in nature and no decisions will be made by the Governing Board.

The workshop is the third in a series of workshops the Governing Board plans to hold before each regular monthly business meeting of the Governing Board. These forums are part of the District's ongoing efforts to explore all facets of the region's water resource issues and encourage public participation.
