September 1, 2026 - Lake Worth Beach Regular City Commission Meeting

The City of Lake Worth Beach held its regular City Commission meeting on September 1, 2026. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to the discussion and approval of a major affordable housing development project, Pinnacle on 6th, which includes 92 affordable workforce housing units. The developer requested waivers related to parking dimensions and landscape buffers, and sought a waiver of a $273,600 sustainable bonus incentive payment, proposing instead a $60,000 contribution to the city's tree restoration fund. The commission approved a motion requiring a split payment of $30,000 each to the sustainability bonus fund and the tree beautification fund. Additionally, the commission discussed and ultimately approved the renewal of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) contract for local law enforcement services, despite extensive public and commissioner debate over PBSO's cooperation with federal immigration enforcement under the 287G program and concerns about surveillance technologies such as flock cameras. The meeting also included the selection of the city auditor and enforcement of deed restrictions on a property. Public comments addressed issues of community safety, immigration enforcement, surveillance, and affordable housing. The meeting concluded with commissioner reports and adjournment.
