PRESENTATION
1. Presentation by Palm Beach County Property Appraiser on 2021 Highlights -
Dorothy Jacks, CFA, AAS
Village Manager Jeremy Allen introduced Dorothy Jacks, the Palm Beach County
Property Appraiser.
Ms. Jacks stated Tequesta has 3,419 parcels of which 3,100 were residential. The
market value was $1.7 Billion with a taxable value of $1.2 Billion. 2019/2020 showed
good appreciation with 4.2 percent growth. County wide growth was at 5.1 percent due to
higher affordability in western cities. 60 percent of parcels were homestead, which was
described as a good number. Seaglass Condominiums and the US1 Corridor would
provide strong values and would continue to be discussed through 2022.
Palm Beach County had a strong residential real estate market with days on market at
half of what they were last year. Sale prices increased from $355,000 to $418,000.
Supply was low and demand was high.
The commercial sector of Retail, Restaurants and Hotels had taken the hardest hits from
Covid19. Office space had not been as affected.
70 percent of Palm Beach County value was designated from the residential sector. April
and May would bring a better sense of 2021.
Vice -Mayor Stone asked how Homestead might increase as people moved to Tequesta.
Ms. Jacks explained it would not be a quick change, but maybe overtime. She also
explained that Tequesta would not see much homestead from Seaglass because of the
nature of high-rise condominiums.
Mayor Brennan asked when strip mall values would change. Ms. Jacks explained
shopping centers had a double issue with online shopping and Covid. The Federal
government was providing more benefits for rent relief and that natural progression might
change strip centers use.

Mayor Brennan opened the Zoom lines, there were not any participants on the line.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCIL
Council Member D'Ambra praised the finance agreement for the community center and the
exceptional terms and interest rates. He thanked the team involved on the agreement. He also
stated that we were fortunate that Florida was an open State and the Village had two new
restaurants opening during these times.
Vice Mayor Stone thanked the departments who worked on the shop local events in December
and was looking forward to building upon the event for next year.
Council Member Brandon encouraged residents to ask questions before making assumptions.
She said do not be afraid to ask staff and council questions as we all work for the residents.
Mayor Brennan talked about her call with the local Mayors and the Director of The Palm Beach
County Health Department Dr. Alina Alonso and Palm Beach County Administrator Verdenia
Baker. The call discussed the small doses being distributed throughout the State of Florida.
Vaccinations are a long term situation and everyone would not be inoculated in three months.
The vaccinations are distributed by the Federal Government to the States and then the States
decided where the vaccines went.
STANDING REPORTS
Village Attorney
Village Attorney Davis did not have anything specific and Council did not have any questions.
Village Manager
Manager Allen announced the water portal was live and the insert in the water bill had helped
drive registration. The storm water improvements had started and the Village had two new
restaurants opening.
He also stated the community center was on schedule with demolition starting January 25th.
The fencing would be going up with the Village displaying resident drawings to involve the
community. The Village anticipated having the gross maximum price in the coming weeks,
which would be vetted and brought back to Council in February for approval. The ground
breaking for the Community Center was scheduled for February 17th.
He announced the North County Chamber was hosting a business forum on January 25th to
discuss strategic planning for businesses during Covid19 and the US1 bridge closure.
Police Department
A written report was submitted and nothing further was added.
Fire Department
Fire Chief Trube thanked Council for the new rescue truck and stated it was almost ready for
service.
Chief Trube discussed the rising numbers of Covid19 and the supply and demand of the
vaccine. The Village received a small number of vaccinations through an effort with the Fire
Chiefs and Emergency Management. He acknowledged the high expectations from the
community and the need for continuous communication to manage expectations. Efforts were
being made to secure as many vaccines as possible and to reach those residents without
computers.
Council Member Brandon conveyed concerns for residents outside of the Village. Chief Trube
explained the limited number of vaccines and the Closed POD (point of distribution) agreement
determined the limit to Village residents at that time.
Council Member D'Ambra asked if process mapping was completed to see if there were any
opportunities to improve efficiencies and if there was any flexibility with the regulatory
environment. Chief Trube explained the process had been quick and there would be an informal
after action report to determine how best to reach residents and improve processes. Council
Member D'Ambra also asked if there was an opportunity to contract off -site eliminating some of
the Fire Department responsibilities. Chief Trube agreed manpower was needed, but they
needed to abide by the Department of Health guidelines. The department was looking into
nursing and personnel companies, quotes were received and would be reviewed.
Council Member Prince asked what experience was needed to administer the vaccine. Chief
Trube stated a special licensing, that paramedics have, was needed to administer the vaccine.
There is a working list of part time or temporary contract workers that was reviewed and Helix
could provide administrative support.
