 Village Hall News

"How do you say thank-you; how do you show your gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of love from a community?”  Council member Vince Arena was momentarily speechless when he tallied the approximately 1,000 new unwrapped toys donated by residents, businesses and Village employees during the month of December. Boxes were placed at Drop off locations which included the Village Hall, The Public Safety building, Parks & Recreation and various business in the community.

In spite of the tough economy, everyone dug deep and came through to ensure that one thousand children will be able to have a merry Christmas.  He states that never in his wildest dreams did he expect to have such an accomplishment and it was because of “you all."

 Church of Good Shepherd 1st Grade Visits Village Hall
10/13/09

Eighteen First Grade students from Good Shepherd School toured Village Hall today with Mayor Watkins and Council Members Turnquest and Arena.  The tour began in the Administration Department consisting of the Clerk, Human Resources, and Manager’s Offices, followed by Finance, and then Community Development.  Community Development Director provided an interactive discussion on the Village’s zoning map, color code index and planning department.  To further their experience, the Human Resources Director, Merlene Reid, created and easy to understand organization chart to assist with the education and understanding of the various departments and their duties (see attached - click here).

 

Students ended their tour by holding “Council” in the Chambers.  Students creatively responded to questions posed by Council Member Turnquest and five Honorary Council Members, Village Clerk, Manager, and Attorney were selected.  Questions included what is the name of Tequesta’s Mayor, how many Council Members does the Village have, how does a resident become a Council Member, and how old do you need to be to vote. 

 

Fun and learning was had by all!   The Village always welcomes our children and encourages our youth to learn more about their local government and its civic activities.
