Tequesta agrees in principle to send letter supporting Jupiter appropriation
Summary
At the workshop council gave consensus for the mayor to sign a letter of support for a Town of Jupiter appropriation to help fund a local park/land protection project; staff will finalize and send the letter to the governor's office.
Early in the meeting and again toward the end of the agenda, staff asked council for a letter of support for a Town of Jupiter appropriation request tied to a park or natural‑area project near the Loxahatchee/Hatchee River inlet. The Village of Tequesta has previously provided similar intergovernmental support for neighboring initiatives; council gave consensus for the mayor to sign a one‑page letter of support to accompany Jupiter’s appropriation request.
Allison Berg and Jeremy noted the appropriation request is a matching ask (roughly $169,000) and that the letter of support is consistent with recent intergovernmental cooperation on park and shore‑protection projects; staff will route the letter through the mayor’s office and forward it to the governor’s desk as requested.
Representative quote: A council member said, "Be a good neighbor," and council signaled support to move the letter forward.
Next step: staff will finalize the letter and secure the mayoral signature for submission to the governor’s office.
