Tom DeRita, 5770 Whirlaway Road, Palm Beach Gardens, reported on a bipartisan meeting
with Congressman Mahoney, who stated he is in favor of earmarks and he is working on one
for the center in Palm Beach Gardens. The staff for the Trust for Public Park Lands and
Community Trust have been contacted regarding possible grant money to be put toward the
purchase of the District Park. Neither agency has grants to transfer the property. Money
cannot be transferred from a County to a City. State grant money for passive recreation
enhancements to the property would be available should the City pursue the District Park
acquisition. Mr. DeRita explained the value of lobbyists. Mr. DeRita has been reappointed for
a second four -year term as a commissioner for the Palm Beach Treasure Coast and St. Lucie
County Consumer Affairs. Governor Crist appointed Mr. DeRita to a four -year term on the
Judicial Nominating Committee.

Commercial (PCD) or a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to provide written consent before
the association, or anyone in the community, can make amendments to the master plan. The
association would like to make some changes to the master plan, but they cannot go forward
because of restrictions in the Code.

the issue in the future. Frenchman's Creek also had this issue. Councilmember Russo stated
