Manatee Season has Started

Manatee season started this week and runs through March 31, 2023. If you're boating in the waterways, be on the lookout for these gentle creatures and abide by all manatee protection speed limit zones.

If you encounter a manatee, Broward County encourages you to report the sighting in the "I Spy A Manatee" free mobile app.

Recycling Pick-Up Update

Tomorrow's recycling pick-up for areas north of Commercial Boulevard, between Harbor Drive and N. Tradewinds Avenue, has been delayed due to increased recycling needs and last week's closures. Codrington Drive and Imperial Lane may also be affected by the delays. Please stay tuned for additional updates.

Serve on Our Audit Committee

The Town is establishing an audit committee to oversee the Town’s financial reporting and disclosure process, including conducting the annual financial audit and assisting in the resolution of audit findings. The committee must consist of at least three members, including the chair of the committee. If you have finance experience and want to get more involved, this may be the perfect opportunity for you.

If you are interested in applying, please complete the application at the link below and return it via email to the Town Clerk at TownClerk@lbts-fl.gov or deliver a hard copy to Town Hall (4501 N. Ocean Drive) by January 15, 2023.
