Small barrier-island town in northern Palm Beach County — Fortune 200 NextEra HQ inside 2.7 sq mi, debt-free since 2013 with 375 days of reserves. CB&A search is the firm's second Juno Beach placement in 18 months after the new 3-2 majority fired Rob Cole on the floor over his self-published newsletter; Mayor Santilli (who voted to retain) is the alliance opportunity.

Dense seven-square-mile Palm Beach County city (~43,400) with a municipal electric utility funding ~31% of the GF and a 29-month CM vacancy since Carmen Davis was fired 3-2 without cause Dec 11, 2023. Sumter Local Government Consulting is running the $285-345K permanent search; target hire is early summer 2026 against a backdrop of a ~78%-no charter referendum, an active HB 1365 / Bryant Park enforcement risk, and Segrich-driven implementation-velocity pressure.

Small inland county-seat city (~10,700). Third CM ousted in 24 months — Carty fired 4-1 on April 24, 2026 just as Acting CM/Police Chief Shaw's officers fired at a city-approved block party on May 9; three of five commission seats reset before the next permanent CM's first anniversary.
