Lake Worth Approves Settlement with Florida Coop
Lake Worth City Commissioners approved an $850,000 settlement on Tuesday to end the city’s lawsuit against the Florida Municipal Power Agency. The settlement must still be accepted by FMPA, the Orlando-based power cooperative that supplies electricity to Lake Worth Utilities. The dispute arose from gas-transmission fees that FMPA quit paying in 2009 after the City Commission voted to end its power-supply agreement with the coop in 2014. The Palm Beach Post has more on the settlement here.
