The West Palm Beach City Commission approved a package of companion resolutions and related measures on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, adopting agreements, grant acceptances and budget adjustments for parks, public-safety equipment, streetscape changes and private development.

Several items also reestablish or move large grant budgets in the city's capital funds.
