WHEREAS, the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and the
Palm Beach County's Sheriff's Office are currently
contacting many of the small municipalities in Palm
Beach County requesting their consideration to
discontinue their individual municipal fire and police
departmental services and begin using the services of
the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and the Palm Beach
County Sheriff's Office; and
WHEREAS, the small municipalities in Palm Beach
County currently serving their residents through their
individual municipal fire and police departments are
resisting the attempts to replace services by the Palm
Beach County Fire Rescue and the Palm Beach County
Sheriff's Office; and
WHEREAS, the small municipal fire and police
departments in Palm Beach County currently in operation
serve in the best interests of their residents and are
dedicated to their municipalities, taking pride in
giving their residents individual and undivided
attention in an immediate response time; and
WHEREAS, the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and the
Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, which are located
on various sites throughout the County, are responsible
for the entire County population and conceivably would
not respond to the residents in the small
municipalities as rapidly as the individual fire and
police departments already located and operating within
the limits of their municipalities.

OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA,
AS FOLLOWS:
