Mayor Jim Kuretsky said the existing appointment agreement, dated May 17, 2022, currently ends May 17, 2025, and that the council intended to notify the manager of its desire to extend the agreement. Council members discussed timing and record-keeping and agreed that HR or the town attorney should establish reminders so future contract deadlines are not missed.

A motion to \"serve notice to the town manager of extending the contract for 3 years\" was moved and seconded during the meeting and carried unanimously. Council members said the forthcoming agenda packet would include the proposed time extension and related items such as salary and benefits adjustments if applicable; the motion recorded was to give formal notice of the council's intent to extend and to bring back a fully documented amendment for a future vote.

Council members asked that a clear timeline and annual performance review dates accompany future contract amendments so deadlines are not missed. The council did not adopt contract language at the March 18 meeting; it directed staff to prepare the formal amendment and return it on a future agenda prior to May 17.

Kitzaro said the forum will include a summary from the Jupiter Police Department on the laws governing e-bike use and steps the town has taken to educate residents. \"The COPCN is necessary to provide medical services and ambulance transportation,\" Kitzaro said when discussing public-safety items; the COPCN reference relates to a separate, scheduled review for the town\u000027s new Jupiter Fire Rescue application with the Palm Beach County EMS Advisory Council.

Councilor Andy Ford described the crash and urged parents to check e-bikes for alterations. Ford, who said he works as a forensic engineer, explained the speed risk from modified e-bikes: \"When these bikes are going 50 miles an hour, it's possible to do incredible harm to your body,\" Ford said, adding that kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity, which raises stopping distances and control problems.

Vice Mayor Sundstrom said police have conducted education and enforcement efforts for more than a year and invited residents to bring questions and ideas to the town hall; she also said the session will be livestreamed on the town's Facebook page and website. Sundstrom said she had spoken with Representative Snyder, who is reviewing the issue at the state level.

The town manager and council framed the town hall as an opportunity for residents to offer suggestions and for officials to review enforcement, education and legislative options following the tragedy.
