During a recent government meeting, board members discussed several key topics, including local property developments, community events, hurricane preparedness, and upcoming meetings.

One significant point raised was the potential acquisition of a property adjacent to the Farm Bureau, which is currently for sale. Board members emphasized the importance of actively pursuing this opportunity, as it could lead to beneficial developments for the community. The discussion highlighted previous attempts to acquire the Farm Bureau, which ultimately sold to a church, raising concerns about zoning compliance.

In community engagement, Vice Chair Schwartz announced the upcoming \"Trunk or Treat\" event scheduled for October 26th at the covered sports field, encouraging residents to participate in the fall festival activities.

As hurricane season continues, board members reiterated the urgency of preparedness. They urged residents to stock up on supplies now, rather than waiting until a storm is imminent, citing recent weather events that have demonstrated how quickly conditions can change.

Additionally, the meeting acknowledged Patriots Day, reflecting on the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and commending the city for its memorial service honoring the victims.

Looking ahead, a special meeting for the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is set for September 30th at 3:30 PM, where proposals for a new city center will be discussed, generating excitement among board members about future developments in Margate.
