A Note From Village Manager Christine Thrower
|
I know it may be hard to imagine, but not everything local governments do is glamourous. A lot of what we do is about making sure infrastructure is there when we need it.
That's why I am happy to report a significant amount of planned progress on our utility infrastructure during this new budget year.
The 2019 budget contains capital improvement needs per the 5-Year Plan including:
continued gravity sewer pipe lining, lift station improvements, manhole rehabilitation, fire
hydrant, meter and membrane replacement programs, and replacement of the existing
generator (not purchased during the current year).
I know what you're thinking. Lift stations and hydrants aren't exactly flashy or sexy. But they are critical parts of a system upon which we all rely. That is why I am excited about our upcoming planned improvements. Call me a bit of a government nerd, but I love this stuff and I just wanted to share it with you.

Country Club of Florida Project Coming Back for Consideration
|
Plans for the proposed Lifestyle Center and swimming pool at the Country Club of Florida (CCF) are once again up for consideration.
Over the summer representatives of the CCF made a presentation to the Village Council during its July meeting.
Following the presentation, members of the Council offered their feedback to the CCF. After hearing the comments, the CCF asked and the council agreed to postpone a vote until October in order to give the CCF time to make design changes.
Those changes are expected to be presented during the Council's October 17th meeting.
The Architecture Review Committee, a volunteer committee of the Homeowners Association, is having a conference call with representatives of the CCF to review the revised submissions.
If you would like to sit in on a listen mode, please come to Village Hall Council Chambers on Wednesday, October 3rd at 9:30 a.m.
We have made the revised plans available to you for review.

If you would like to send in your comments on the revised plans, please send them by October 9th to Village Manager Christine Thrower at:
If you can't make it to the meeting, we will have a complete recap in the next Village of Golf Messenger newsletter.
