As the One Boca proposal advances toward City Council votes and a March ballot, a parallel legal battle over Save Boca referendum measures continues in Palm Beach County Circuit Court.
A citizen-led committee has filed a lawsuit seeking a court order requiring the City of Boca Raton to place two voter-approved land protection measures on the ballot, arguing city officials failed to follow mandatory charter timelines.
New court motions filed this week could decide whether Boca Raton voters ever see a citywide public-land protection question on the ballot as the controversial One Boca government campus plan moves toward its own referendum.
Two major filings submitted Monday outline sharply different views of Boca Raton’s “Save Boca” land measures as the case moves forward.
Boca Raton officials spent two days walking through the design and dollars behind a 99-year public-private deal that would remake the downtown City Hall campus and send the final decision to voters next March.
