TOWN OF LOXAHATCHEE GROVES TOWN HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS LPA / PLANNING ZONING BOARD COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA JULY 22, 2024 – 6:00 PM William Ford (Seat 1) Brett Raflowitz (Seat 2) Todd McLendon (Seat 3) Jacquelyn Clifton (Seat 4) Lisa El-Ramey (Seat 5) Administration Town Manager, Francine L. Ramaglia Town Attorney, Tanya Earley Town Clerk, Valerie Oakes Town’s Planning Consultant, Jim Fleishmann Town’s Planning Consultant, Kaitlyn Forbes Civility: Being "civil" is not a restraint on the First Amendment right to speak out, but it is more than just being polite. Civility is stating your opinions and beliefs, without degrading someone else in the process. Civility requires a person to respect other people's opinions and beliefs even if he or she strongly disagrees. It is finding a common ground for dialogue with others. It is being patient, graceful, and having a strong character. That is why we say "Character Counts" in Town of Loxahatchee. Civility is practiced at all Town meetings. Special Needs: In accordance with the provisions of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), persons in need of a special accommodation to participate in this proceeding shall within three business days prior to any proceeding, contact the Town Clerk’s Office, 155 F Road, Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, (561) 793-2418. Quasi-Judicial Hearings: Some of the matters on the agenda may be "quasi-judicial" in nature. Town Council Members are required to disclose all ex-parte communications regarding these items and are subject to voir dire (a preliminary examination of a witness or a juror by a judge or council) by any affected party regarding those communications. All witnesses testifying will be "sworn" prior to their testimony. However, the public is permitted to comment, without being sworn. Unsworn comment will be given its appropriate weight by the Town Council. Appeal of Decision: If a person decides to appeal any decision made by the Town Council with respect to any matter considered at this meeting, he or she will need a record of the proceeding, and for that purpose, may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, which record includes any testimony and evidence upon which the appeal will be based. Consent Calendar: Those matters included under the Consent Calendar are typically self-explanatory, non controversial, and are not expected to require review or discussion. All items will be enacted by a single motion. If discussion on an item is desired, any Town Council Member, without a motion, may "pull" or remove the item to be considered separately. If any item is quasi-judicial, it may be removed from the Consent Calendar to be heard separately, by a Town Council Member, or by any member of the public desiring it to be heard, without a motion. Town of Loxahatchee Groves July 22, 2024 LPA / Planning Zoning Board Committee Meeting Page No. 2 BOARD AGENDA ITEMS CALL TO ORDER ROLL CALL ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND MODIFICATIONS OF AGENDA PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comments for all meetings may be received by email, or in writing to the Town Clerk’s Office until NOON day of the meeting.
