City Staff Head Back to School for City Government Week
For Florida City Government Week (Oct. 19–25), staff from more than 10 city departments visited classrooms to show students how local government shapes their day, from the roads they ride on to the parks they play in. Students at six schools took part: Somerset College Preparatory Academy, Allapattah Flats K-8, St. Lucie West Centennial High, Legacy High, Renaissance Charter and Southern Oaks Middle. The students also weighed in on the city's strategic goals, and that feedback goes to City Council when it reviews the Strategic Plan next year.
Our take: The kids' ideas are going straight to Council. Ask yours what they'd change about PSL. You might get the best answer you've heard all year.

City Hall's Smarter Front Door Wins a State Tech Award
The Florida Local Government Information Systems Association honored Port St. Lucie at its Technology Excellence and Achievement Awards. The winning project, led by the city's IT Department with help from the City Manager's Office, Police and Facilities, added new safety-screening technology and a visitor management system with quick check-in at City Hall. Bonus: the system tracks peak foot-traffic times, so the city can staff up when the lobby gets busy.
Our take: Faster check-in and a safer lobby is a win anyone with a permit question can feel. Less time in line, more time doing literally anything else.

Survival tip: Running errands at City Hall or the post office? Go mid-morning on a weekday, before the seasonal rush makes every line longer.

Welcome back: The city's Fall Fun Fest returns Oct. 30–Nov. 1. Good timing for anyone just unpacking the car.
