District 6 Community Forum
Commissioner Santamaria offers opening comments.

November 20, 2008

Several newly elected public officials attended Commissioner Jess Santamaria’s monthly community forum on November 19 at the original Wellington Mall. Guests included new District 3 County Commissioner Shelley Vana, returning state Sen. Dave Aronberg, incoming State Attorney Mike McAuliffe and incoming Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher. McAuliffe and Bucher will take office in January. About 50 western communities residents attended the function.

The officials outlined their goals and challenges that lie ahead, and each urged the citizens of Palm Beach County to be involved and provide input to help them be more effective. Questions from the audience touched on road projects, public transportation, education funding, budget shortfalls, Everglades restoration, and plans for an inland port.

There was also a surprise presentation featuring “Buddy,” a Virginia opossum from the nearby Folke Peterson Wildlife Center.

Commissioner Santamaria’s next community forum will be January 21, 2009.
