The Board of County Commissioners convened on September 26, 2024, amid concerns regarding an approaching hurricane. The meeting began with a prayer led by Commissioner Barnett, who emphasized the need for awareness and support for those affected by the storm, which was described as dangerous and potentially life-threatening.

Following the prayer, the board confirmed a quorum and proceeded with the agenda, which included a motion to receive and file proof of public hearing, passing unanimously. The commissioners then moved to approve the agenda, which included amendments related to the consent agenda and a new item concerning the Cam D. Milliana Park project.

During the consent agenda discussion, several commissioners disclosed communications related to item three, concerning the South Florida Fair North Lots. All disclosures were received and filed appropriately. The consent agenda was subsequently approved without opposition.

The meeting also addressed a modification to the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) regarding parking and permanent generators, which had been presented in a previous session. This item was approved unanimously after a brief discussion.

As the meeting concluded, the county attorney and planning director had no comments, but the executive director announced the cancellation of a FEMA meeting scheduled for that evening at the Jupiter Community Center.

Commissioners expressed their concerns for residents in the path of the hurricane, with Commissioner Barnett commending Palm Beach County Fire Rescue personnel for their proactive efforts to assist those in the expected impact zone. Commissioner Woodward echoed these sentiments, urging residents to remain vigilant as the storm approached.
