PBG Watch to Discontinue Monthly Emails/Posts

PBG Watch will no longer be sending out summaries of the upcoming PBG City Council agendas or meeting summaries.

When formed our mission statement was:

PBG Watch is a coalition of concerned citizens of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, who have come together to observe and report on the decisions of the City Council. We will praise where justified and criticize where warranted. We will also educate and mobilize a response to actions that we feel are not in the best interest of the citizens.

Our first post was about proposed charter changes, on June 8, 2012. At the time there were a lot of active issues, heavy citizen involvement and most of the City Council meetings were well-attended. While the City published the council meeting agendas on the website, it was difficult to read. Council meetings were not video-recorded, there was no social media presence and the only way to observe the meetings from afar was to listen to voice recordings.

Much has changed over the last ten years:

• Term Limits were enacted
• Avenir and Alton – two remaining large areas have been planned and development is underway
• Purchasing and budgets have become more accessible on the website
• Voter participation and resident attendance at council meetings has waned significantly, decreased further during and after Covid.

The City has created many more avenues for the citizens to acquire information – via newsletters, its website, live-streaming and social media.

Here are ways that you can continue to get informed about the meetings and City activities:

• City of Palm Beach Gardens website Agenda Page
• City of Palm Beach Gardens social media sites
  • Facebook 
  • Youtube
• City of Palm Beach Gardens Livestream Page

Sign up for  email notifications under Newsflash at this link: https://pbgfl.com/list.aspx

In addition, Joel Englehardt, via his Ongardens.org website, is writing in-depth pieces on various issues concerning the Gardens. I encourage you to sign up for his notifications or go to his website frequently.

We will keep the PBG Watch website and facebook page online for a period of time for historical reference and for occasional posts such as those by former Mayor Mike Martino in his Martino Minute.

Remember – we get the government we deserve. KEEP WATCHING!
