BUSINESS WORKSHOP HELD MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH -
...
and it was a hit. Working in cooperation with the Town of Palm Beach Deputy Manager,
Jay Boodheshwar, the chamber assembled a panel of experts to discuss issues and formulate answers to make doing business in Palm Beach easier.
Town staff included Paul Castro, Zoning, Paul Brazil, Public Works, Darrel Donatto, Fire/Safety and Nick Caristo from the Police department.
The "futurist" panel of professionals were Ken Walker, noted retail marketer, Alexandra Patterson, key coordinator of the Royal, Cody Crowell of the Frisbie Group and architect Keith Spina who recently finished the restoration of the First National Bank building on South County.
A summary report, prepared by Deputy Town manager, Jay Boodheshwar, identified the following six recommendations to Town Council:
- Look for opportunities to streamline Town applications and/or permitting processes
- Modify street signage to improve "wayfinding" which reduces traffic
- Review Town Code to identify archaic and/or regulations that are difficult to comply with
- Improve parking regulations to promote vehicular turnover
- Identify "business ombudsman" to help businesses navigate through required procedures
- Establish frequent business community input sessions with Town staff
