A New Permanent City Hall Is Coming

Westlake is a young city — incorporated in June 2016 — and it has been operating out of temporary administrative offices while the community grows. That's about to change.

In May 2026, the City of Westlake acquired a 4.6-acre parcel from Minto Communities for its future permanent City Hall. The site is located at the corner of Persimmon Blvd West and Ilex Way — in the heart of the Westlake community, close to homes and the commercial district.

The permanent facility is tracked as an active project on Westlake Pulse. As planning and permitting advance, updates will appear on the Development Tracker.

Who Runs the City of Westlake?

Westlake is governed by an elected City Council. As of mid-2026:

Mayor: JohnPaul O'Connor
Vice Mayor: Greg Langowski
City Manager: Howard W. Brown Jr. (appointed March 2026)

Both Mayor O'Connor and Vice Mayor Langowski were honored with the 2026 Home Rule Hero Award from the Florida League of Cities — a recognition of their advocacy for local government. Mayor O'Connor was also installed as President of the Palm Beach County League of Cities in May 2026.

City Boards & Advisory Commissions

Beyond the City Council, residents can participate in Westlake's public advisory boards:

Planning and Zoning Board — reviews permits, zoning, and land-development applications
Local Planning Agency — oversees land use decisions
Education and Youth Advisory Board — supports schools and youth programs
Art in Public Places Advisory Board — oversees public art installations

Board vacancies are posted on the city's official website. Residents are encouraged to apply and get involved.

Public Safety & Services

Westlake contracts several Palm Beach County agencies for key services:

Law enforcement: Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, District 18
Fire & rescue: Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, Station 22 — which now displays the City of Westlake logo on its trucks
Utilities & infrastructure: Managed by the Seminole Improvement District (SID)

City Budget — FY 2027

The City of Westlake released its FY2027 Proposed Budget in July 2026. A City Council Budget Workshop was held on June 30, 2026, and a second workshop on July 14, 2026. The full council meeting to consider the budget is scheduled for July 16, 2026.

Westlake has cut its millage (tax) rate for four consecutive years — a notable accomplishment for a fast-growing young city still building out its infrastructure and service base.

You can read the budget documents in the Westlake Pulse public records library.

Homebuyer Assistance — The HAPPY Program

The City of Westlake administers the HAPPY Program (Homebuyer Assistance Program), which helps first-time homebuyers cover down payment and closing costs on a new home in Westlake. Guidelines were updated in June 2026. The city and the Westlake Community Foundation received the 2026 Housing Impact Award from the Palm Beach County Housing Leadership Council for this initiative.
