# October 27, 2026 - Lake Worth Beach City Commission Regular Meeting

The October 27, 2026 regular meeting of the Lake Worth Beach City Commission included several procurement and infrastructure actions. The commission approved a new lease for Compass Community Center, beginning December 1, 2026, for just under 20 years. Annual rent will increase from a little over $19,000 to a little over $31,000, with annual increases; commissioners added an annual report on service and outcome measures. The lease passed 4–1, with Commissioner Segrich opposed. The commission also approved a fiscal year 2027 budget amendment incorporating a 3% cost-of-living adjustment and HRCC salary adjustments, and approved multiple utility purchases and work orders: Enercon engineering task orders, a time extension for Florida Design Drilling, an Archstone Inspections amendment for residential energy audits, water-treatment chemicals from Shannon Chemical Corporation, transformer procurement from ULS Corporate, and infrastructure work involving Treasure Coast Infrastructure, paving work orders, and Down Under Enterprises. Resolution 51-2026 reauthorizing consolidated utility revenue bonds was also approved; most contract items had no dollar amounts stated in the transcript.

Staff reported that gravity-sewer cleaning and inspection work was completed ahead of schedule, with approximately 43 cubic yards of debris removed; the project was initially estimated at more than $400,000 and may come in under budget. The commission heard plans for a citywide stormwater evaluation RFQ and discussed possible regional funding for wastewater-system redundancy, but no funding request was approved. The electric utility reported ongoing fuel-cost pressure and a roughly $1.8 million negative power-cost-adjustment balance in its fund, while noting a 2% increase to total electric bills effective October 1 and proposing future education on fuel hedging. The commission also approved the city manager’s employment agreement, with twice-yearly performance evaluations to be scheduled.
