/districtlocator
or call the Palm Beach

GOVERNMENT
T
he Palm Beach County Home Rule Charter became
effective in 1985. True Home Rule gives the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) the ability to create, through a local
public hearing ordinance procedure, local laws that are not in
conflict with or specifically prohibited by state general law or
the state constitution. This process is done without going to the
Florida Legislature to request special legislation.
The seven-member BCC is the legislative governing body of
Palm Beach County. Commissioners are elected to staggered
four-year terms by voters in the district in which they reside. The
BCC elects a mayor and vice mayor annually.
The BCC usually meets each month in the Jane M. Thompson
Memorial Chambers on the sixth floor of the Robert Weisman
Palm Beach County Governmental Center, 301 N. Olive Avenue,
West Palm Beach.
The meetings are cablecast on the county’s government
television PBC TV Channel 20, and they are also streamed
live on
www.pbcgov.com/CH20
. Workshops are usually held
on the fourth Tuesday of each month. The public may offer
3
comments to the
board during “Matters
by the Public” which
usually occurs in the
afternoon. At that time,
residents can address
the board on any issue
under its jurisdiction.
Anyone who wishes
to speak is required
to complete a Public
Comment Card.
Visit
www.pbcgov.com
for more information on the meeting
schedule, or call 355-3229.
COMMISSION ON ETHICS
The mission of the Commission on Ethics (COE) is to foster
integrity in public services, to promote the public’s trust and
confidence, and to prevent conflicts between private interests
and public duties. Its jurisdiction extends to all elected and
appointed county and municipal employees and officials,
including county advisory board members. The COE reviews,
interprets, renders advisory opinions on, and enforces the
Palm Beach County Code of Ethics, and lobbyist registration
and post-employment ordinances. To file a complaint, call the
ethics hotline at 355-1915 (or 877-766-5920) or use the
online Ethics Complaint Form.
Visit
www.
palmbeachcountyethics.com/complaints.htm
for
more information.
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) was created by county
ordinance to promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness
in county programs and operations and to prevent and detect
fraud and abuse. The OIG’s jurisdiction extends to all
municipalities in the county. If you have reason to suspect
public fraud, waste, mismanagement or misconduct, call the
hotline at 877-283-7068. You may also report waste, fraud or
abuse online at
www.pbcgov.com/oig/rwfa.htm

WATER RESTRICTIONS
The major source of fresh water for South Florida is
underground aquifers that are replenished by rainwater
soaking down through the soil. Rainfall can vary greatly from
year to year, and reduced rainfall means less water reaches
the aquifers. Therefore, during drought conditions, it is very
important to conserve water, and follow water-use restrictions.
The South Florida Water Management District oversees water
resources in the southern parts of the state.
For more information, visit
www.sfwmd.gov
 or call
1-800-432-2045. For tips on how to conserve water, call
the Division of Family & Consumer Sciences at 233-1742.
