The city of Westlake, which incorporated on a piece of farmland in central Palm Beach County in 2016 following a five-person vote, will be contracting with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement services, according to an agreement.
The sheriff’s office announced the deal on its Twitter and Facebook pages and sent a copy of the agreement to the Sun Sentinel Monday. PBSO has created a new district to cover the city, which sits on Seminole Pratt Whitney Boulevard about three miles north of Okeechobee Boulevard and about five miles south of Northlake Boulevard.
The initial contract, which was signed in late August, covers five years of law enforcement services. For the first year — Oct. 1, 2019 through Sept. 30, 2020 — services will cost the city $650,000, which are to be paid in monthly installations.
