Boca Raton officials are set to consider replacing the newly installed Memorial Park plaque after criticism that the current marker misstates the site’s history and credits the wrong people with preserving it.
Boca Raton has finally dedicated Memorial Park nearly 80 years after its creation was first announced, but the dedication plaque placed at the end of the previous council’s term is already drawing criticism from residents who say it credits the wrong people.
Boca Raton swore in Mayor Andy Thomson and newly elected council members Tuesday morning, then quickly moved to assign leadership posts and outside agency roles for the new term.
Boca Raton will swear in Mayor Andy Thomson and three new council members March 31 while assigning key leadership and regional roles during a live-streamed meeting.
A completed recount by the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections confirms Andy Thomson as Boca Raton’s next mayor following the March 10 municipal election.
