The Village of Tequesta held a Special Council Meeting on March 13, 2025, focusing on various community issues and updates from recent events. The meeting began with the approval of the consent agenda, followed by a brief period for citizen communications, which yielded no comments.

A significant portion of the discussion centered on the recent Palm Beach County Day in Tallahassee, where council members met with 11 of the 13 local delegation members. Concerns were raised regarding proposed changes to enterprise funds for utilities, which could limit the village's ability to impose necessary fees to cover administrative costs. The council emphasized the importance of monitoring these developments closely as they could have substantial impacts on local governance.

The Vice Mayor also addressed a tragic incident involving a golf cart accident that resulted in the death of a local mother. This prompted a call for increased safety measures for golf carts and e-bikes, highlighting the vulnerability of community members and the need for seat belt and helmet usage.

Council Member French reported on the Beach Road Association meeting, where updates on the Jupiter shoreline project were shared. The project is set to begin in 2025 and aims for completion by August 2026. French also discussed the ongoing conversations about property tax reform, expressing concerns about how proposed changes could affect funding for essential services, particularly public safety.

The meeting concluded with reflections on the village's appeal as a residential community, despite challenges in attracting larger businesses due to land and height restrictions. The council members reiterated their commitment to fostering a safe and vibrant community for residents.
