Town Manager Mariano noted the Municipal League has been working
closely with other Municipalities to work with the Palm Beach
Countywide Planning Council to back down on the mandates they are
trying to impose with regard to comrehensive plans. There is a
compromise that, if we ever amend our plan for Town oriented
purposes, at that time we will address some of the Countywide
Planning Council's concerns. This matter will go to the Palm
Beach County Commission for formal approval. The Town Manager
noted the Town of Highland Beach is well represented in the
Municipal League inasmuch as the Mayor has been appointed to the
• Finance Committee and the Town Manager has been reappointed to the
Directions Committee.
