From The Desk Of Commissioner Marci Woodward A Message from Marci Summer break had some unexpected but delightful turns for me and my family. Many of you may have heard about the 24 dogs believed to have been abandoned in poor conditions here in Palm Beach County. Thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers at Three Stooges Rescue in Stuart, all of the dogs were safely captured and began receiving the care they desperately needed. Commissioner Gregg Weiss first shared this story with me after working with law enforcement and Animal Care and Control to ensure the animals were safe. When Michael and I learned more, we knew we wanted to help. We agreed to “foster” one of the pups, but as you can probably guess, it didn’t take long for our dogs Zoey and Fritz to fall in love with him. And just like that, fostering turned into adopting. This summer, we officially welcomed Toby to the Woodward pack! I want to thank the volunteers, shelters, and animal lovers across our community who helped these dogs find safe, loving homes. Their efforts are a reminder that compassion can turn a difficult story into a hopeful one. Additionally, Team PBC officially welcomed Joe Abruzzo on his first day serving as County Administrator and during his first BCC meeting. I look forward to many meetings, discussions, and solutions happening right here as we work together to serve the residents of Palm Beach County. And to all our Palm Beach County students and teachers heading back to school this month, good luck! Drivers, remember: the maximum speed in school zones is 20 mph.
Many municipalities have also added school zone cameras, so please slow down and pay extra attention when lights are flashing to help keep children safe. Fines are doubled (up to $400) for illegally passing a stopped school bus displaying a stop signal. A second offense within five years could result in your license being suspended.
DOGE Visits Palm Beach County This week, Palm Beach County welcomed the Florida Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for its on-site audit of county government operations. The DOGE team began by reviewing documents provided in advance, focusing on contracts, procurement, personnel management practices, diversity and inclusion, and grants. County staff, led by Sherry Brown, Director of the Office of Financial Management and Budget, worked closely with Administration, multiple departments, and the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller’s office to provide requested information related to financial management, compliance, and reporting. Additional documentation was also supplied throughout the visit. Over two days, DOGE staff conducted in-depth interviews and Q&A sessions with more than 35 county employees. Departments engaged in the process included Community Services, Facilities Development & Operations, Housing and Economic Development, Human Resources, Mounts Botanical Garden, the Office of Community Revitalization, the Office of Equal Business Opportunity, the Office of Resilience, Parks and Recreation, Procurement, the Tourist Development Council, Engineering (Transportation), and Youth Services. At a press conference held at the Governmental Center, Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia emphasized P a l m B e a c h C o u n t y ’s unique distinction among Florida’s 67 counties and noted that additional visits are expected here and across the state. We w i l l c o n t i n u e t o provide updates as DOGE’s review progresses. From The Desk Of on page 2
