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.
