# September 15, 2026 - Lake Worth Beach Regular City Commission Meeting

The City of Lake Worth Beach held its regular City Commission meeting on September 15, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a time extension change order with Johnson Davis Incorporated for the 10th and 13th Street stormwater improvement project. The commission also reviewed and approved standard insurance policies for employee health and welfare benefits for fiscal year 2026-27, noting a 6% increase in medical insurance costs absorbed by the city. Additionally, the commission considered a lease amendment with Benny's on the Beach, ultimately approving an increase to start in 2033 despite public opposition and concerns about the timing and financial justification of the lease extension. The meeting also featured extensive discussion on the selection of a new city manager, with commissioners expressing dissatisfaction with the current finalists and voting to restart the search process with new direction to the recruitment firm. Public comments were robust on both the city manager selection and the lease extension, reflecting community engagement and concerns. Other topics included updates on park ranger staffing and a proposed tree giveaway program to increase urban canopy, with discussions on funding, tree survivability, and community involvement. Overall, the meeting focused heavily on contract approvals, vendor relationships, budget considerations, and strategic personnel decisions affecting city operations and services.
