Informational Bulletin
Are you interested in what is going on with the Town of Gulf Stream?
Get information on the developments of the Town by attending any of our
Commission meetings. We hold Commission meetings on the second (2 d) Friday
of every month at 9:00 A.M. Our Architectural Review and Planning Board
(ARPB) meets on the fourth (4d') Thursday of every month at 8:30 A.M. All
meetings are also advertised on the Community page (page 3) of the Local
Section of the Sunday edition of the Palm Beach Post as well as on the Notice
Board outside the front door at the Town Hall.
Having work done at your home?
All workers hired to conduct services for your property must be registered to do
work in the Town. If you have someone to whom you issue a W-2 or have
people making deliveries, they will not have to be registered. If you are hiring a
contractor (for example, to do lawn work or make improvements to your home)
please ask them to register at Town Hall if they are not currently on file.
Occupational registration is designed to ensure workers are properly licensed and
insured, and enhances the safety of our community.
Having any exterior work done on your house? Please note the following
information:
In order to preserve our unique community character, the Town adopted Design
Guidelines that address exterior aspects of your home. If you are planning
exterior remodeling, painting or major landscaping work, please contact the Town
Manager to review your plans and determine what requirements may apply.
COMMUNITY REMINDERS
• All of your pets MUST be on a leash within the Town limits. The only exception
would be on your private property.
• When walking your dog, please be courteous to other residents and pedestrians
by taking responsibility for your dog's waste.
CRIME PREVENTION AND SAFETY TIPS
• Remove valuables from your cars and keep the doors locked. Utilize the alarm
system and secure your home in your absence. An open garage door is an
advertisement of the property stored within and provides an easy access point
to the rest of the house. Make sure your garage door is closed completely
and that it is opened only when necessary.
• Going on vacation? Call your Police Department. They will check the property
periodically while you are gone and notify your specified emergency contact(s)
if any problems are found. Arrange for your mail, newspapers and delivered
packages to be picked up daily.
