Commission highlights Keeper's Day, BlueBeam permitting rollout and volunteer recruitment
Summary
Commissioners celebrated recent community events and public-service volunteers, announced progress on an online permitting platform (BlueBeam) and urged residents to volunteer for city boards and programs as Lighthouse Point marks its 70th year.
Commissioners reviewed recent community events, including a successful Keeper's Day and parade, and thanked public works, police, fire and volunteers for their support. The mayor and commissioners described volunteerism as central to the city's founding and urged residents to sign up for boards and community programs.
A commissioner previewed the city's move toward a fully digital permitting platform (BlueBeam) and said departments are working through implementation kinks to make the system user-friendly for everything from small repair permits to large construction filings. "I think it's important that we refocus ourselves on the volunteerism," one commissioner said, urging residents to get involved as the city approaches its 70th anniversary. Commissioners also noted the city will work to improve Nixle/Nextdoor notifications after a resident reported missing an emergency alert.
