The Royal Palm Beach Village Council unanimously approved its consent agenda on July 17, authorizing a series of routine contracts and scheduling tentative budget hearings.
The consent agenda approved the following items as read into the record by the clerk:
- Approval of minutes from the June 5, 2025 regular meeting.
- Authorization for the mayor to execute the 10th addendum to the law-enforcement services agreement between the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and the Village of Royal Palm Beach.
- Adoption of Resolution No. 25-22 authorizing the mayor to sign a State Highway Lighting Maintenance and Compensation Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation District 4 concerning seven FPL-owned light poles along State Road 80.
- Approval of a bid award of $99,158 and authorization for the village manager to execute a contract with Encore Broadcast Solutions for audiovisual work at the Farber building (funds from Farber building renovations, project EN2401).
- Authorization for the village manager to renew employee benefits contracts with Kale Doctor Plus (health), Cigna (dental/vision), New York Life (life/disability) and Aetna Resources for Living (EAP).
- Approval of a bid award of $344,250 and authorization for the village manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Barry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker LLC for enterprise resource planning (ERP) project planning and development.
- Tentative adoption of a proposed millage rate of 1.92 and scheduling of public hearings on September 11 and September 18, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the Village Council Chambers.
Council members voted “aye” on a motion to approve the consent agenda; no items were pulled for separate discussion.
Why it matters: several items authorize contract spending and set the administrative schedule for the coming fiscal year. The ERP planning contract and the tentative millage-setting are preparatory steps ahead of the budget adoption process.
No public comment was offered on the consent items during the meeting.
