Todd Ingalls, the city engineer, showed photos of Fire Station 6 and said the roof is \"dried in,\" windows and garage doors are installed and interior finishes are under way; the city expects to receive the building from the contractor in April and will need several weeks to outfit the station before it opens for service.

Cory Wilder, deputy community services administrator for operations, reviewed the Burns Road playground. He said equipment arrived and installation began in January, shade infrastructure posts are installed, turf installation is scheduled for March 17 and the playground is expected to open in April. The playground is designed to serve ages roughly 6 months to 12 years and includes two climbing towers, slides and shade systems.

Angela Brown, deputy community services administrator, and other staff presented the Burns Road Community Center renovation. Brown said the project is in its 16th month of construction, will reopen to the public for summer camp in June and is scheduled to reach construction completion in April. The renovation includes about 26,650 square feet of renovated space and roughly 32,000 square feet of addition to the 1980 portion of the facility; site improvements include expanded parking, sidewalks and wayfinding.

Jake McCarty, director of public works, summarized the PD expansion and EOC renovation, describing a multi-phase move of IT and dispatch to allow renovations. He said dispatch will expand into six new stations, the project involves complex utility reconnections and foundation work between existing buildings, and the contractor is working to reroute drains and stormwater. Brown and staff said completion of the combined PD/EOC project is targeted for October.

Council members asked timing questions and were told the playground is slated to open in April and the community center will be ready in time for June summer-camp operations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting - February 6, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City project managers reported construction progress and timelines for Fire Station 6, the Burns Road playground and community center, and the police department/EOC renovation.","taxTitle","Palm Beach Gardens, Palm Beach County, Florida","taxId",4129,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681423,"211 helpline urges residents to call for crisis, food and utility help as housing pressures rise",154,710000,864000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2249023-7dd5cf045fa79001a774b675587f1a73&start=710&end=864","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2249023-7dd5cf045fa79001a774b675587f1a73/thumbnail_710000.jpg","/articles/6681423/Palm-Beach-Gardens/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/211-helpline-urges-residents-to-call-for-crisis-food-and-utility-help-as-housing-pressures-rise","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681423-f88dc9c1ffdabd4cf03fc4e1e89166ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187438&Signature=XsnU-trzx-DHgT051THeFzZxUW2nOjKhZe0dLZLyC1-rwbnEygMiwCSIKNf6ovUjet9eW0jJr2jafSdGz0Cm2wSyCxX30peVPrCPq64o9NoEOnJa2O41Xu~o5bMTRLPhBJrOjcxmFTVZylnYDHD3YGgYIYiuN6K8L~m6En5L6670-UAOe4TFDd3Pk-cXv519MkTjw302Kd7VnGvwiHhJbzXHzQsNBXBpIxjsP2h9XCB1ILl8l~0fO5~eAHfMok-Qq5eKggz6wiiAy997c0S2b5~tydLQqgW9o~r0JOwNRbVBb4FfZgybsg-sXEO4TFF0gWfKgwL8DuZGt8hP83MoXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Patrice Schroeder, community relations representative for the 211 helpline, addressed the Palm Beach Gardens City Council during public comment to outline the helpline
's services and rising demand.

Schroeder said 211 averages about 350 calls per day across a five-county service area and that roughly a dozen of those calls daily are suicide-related. She said Palm Beach County accounts for the largest share of calls.

\"We can help them get the specialized counseling and also help their families as well,\" Schroeder said, describing services for caregivers, elders with Alzheimer's, children with autism and a My Florida Veterans program that supports veterans, first responders and other trauma-exposed workers.

Schroeder encouraged residents to call 211 any time of day or night for referrals to food, clinics, utility assistance and behavioral-health resources.

Mayor Reid and council members thanked Schroeder and the organization for its work and for collaboration with municipal programs.","Patrice Schroeder of the 211 helpline told the council that 211 averages about 350 calls per day across a five-county area and highlighted suicide-related calls, veterans, elder and special-needs support, and utility assistance.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681428,"Cognizant Classic organizer highlights economic, charitable impact and changes to fan experience in Palm Beach Gardens",709,57000,766000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2249023-7dd5cf045fa79001a774b675587f1a73&start=57&end=766","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2249023-7dd5cf045fa79001a774b675587f1a73/thumbnail_57000.jpg","/articles/6681428/Palm-Beach-Gardens/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/Cognizant-Classic-organizer-highlights-economic-charitable-impact-and-changes-to-fan-experience-in-Palm-Beach-Gardens","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681428-1090e0466c3cc9a1395e9bd8585d77f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187438&Signature=WZT62IklfPdbYstaTm3Ibe61fgYUXJ21RqszWhw4Bqn4xrF5sC0isUlIEJe5y2LzM2L~grpVXrER5S9FFc8zqHf-3-jt-Je4b7iZpoQlGkzXU41FhBye0fLXd-DhPwUlkhjjsF2O~yABbyNAakyY2GH6k1Wg22sYB8tq9rIWZS67BhXFGrakEVssl9T4xrhLAmg3gIqFoyyakUwgweQmw8NiiE03H1bEoBodYOO9JW9fVSjW4m2y5548HpsBC2rM61~zaWslTshmcBkKyizfM1sTvUYDwfQpdTFfor9ZLhcFZn7Mq4jW-3nf-o-fwLiji3tePSRXWh9zRIOzMGoU~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Todd Fleming, vice president and executive director of the Cognizant Classic, told the Palm Beach Gardens City Council that the PGA Tour stop continues to produce measurable economic and charitable benefits for the community while the tournament refines its on-site hospitality and fan experience.

Fleming said the tournament produced roughly 11,000 room nights attributed countywide in 2024, generated more than $70 million in earned media value tied to its presenting partnership with Discover Palm Beaches, and produced about $6.8 million in community and charitable impact that benefited more than 50 local organizations.

\"What we really stand for...is always how are we being a steward inside of the community,\" Fleming said, describing charitable giving and local partnerships as the tournament's \"North Star.\" He said the tournament is \"well on our way\" toward similar charitable totals for 2025.

Fleming described several changes spectators will see at the event this year, including new exterior and interior builders, a new food-and-beverage operator and colored, patterned gable and tinting structures at course holes intended to better represent Palm Beach Gardens on television and at the venue. He said organizers issued multiple requests-for-proposals last year to rework hospitality and site elements and that the new structures are intended to use the course's natural contours and reduce tall, wind-exposed builds.

Fleming said the event will include a new FPL Fan Village near the 18th hole that will house food activations and city-themed elements that the majority of attendees will pass each day. He also noted the tournament field is stronger than at the same point last year, with 14 of the world
's top 50 players committed and 10 of the top 30 in current FedEx Cup standings.

When a council member asked about a veterans area that had previously been on No. 17, Fleming said the Patriots Outpost has been moved to the 10th green area, where it will be closer to several tees and a drop-off with ADA access.

Charlotte Przezinski, the city's leisure services administrator, introduced the presentation and thanked tournament staff and city partners for their coordination.

Fleming closed by thanking the city for hosting and by announcing the countdown to the event: \"See you guys in 17 days,\" he said.","Todd Fleming, executive director of the Cognizant Classic, told the Palm Beach Gardens City Council the tournament generated thousands of room nights, millions in community and charitable dollars, and will introduce new hospitality structures and fan activations this year; he also said the veterans area was moved to the 10th green.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681411,"City attorney honors Mayor Reid for legislative advocacy on mobility bills signed by governor",487,2005000,2492000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2249023-7dd5cf045fa79001a774b675587f1a73&start=2005&end=2492","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2249023-7dd5cf045fa79001a774b675587f1a73/thumbnail_2005000.jpg","/articles/6681411/Palm-Beach-Gardens/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/City-attorney-honors-Mayor-Reid-for-legislative-advocacy-on-mobility-bills-signed-by-governor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681411-89e17db17f308135ef9cddb8c3065982/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187438&Signature=dr6-KAtCW4CSHJz5FVfYed2dTXIrucDokQo6C71LYL1Tff3qkW-qf4XCG1SaN3C0dJXnnGquF309g1MwHCpyxaOsd9oeelHNvRqDL1t8Ky7hyhYbPvbWXjBXrEPVgZdRxMHjDNG8GKJyIgKxfoW5Dho5h4SvFou0CD2iLHjnyBKpXSBzvtu-yFhT0msVIy4ewh9u1Pclgc-CirVBupe-ggmTGhGvFom7a3CazRbeGDY-PRre5gyWArfimuunxTuQG12ml7pxy18BfMXBrnT8aoNFDk~Tj2RvdFJ8aQEicIGDoLc9wpwEaawe1tT~ZxMJ5RP1KiJQ0O8u4RafGKtxIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Attorney Max Lohman presented a commemorative plaque to Mayor Reid recognizing her testimony before the Florida Legislature in support of House Bill 479 and Senate Bill 688, which Lohman said clarify state law related to mobility plans and fees.
