Boca Raton City Council advanced the Save Boca ordinance and a related charter amendment, moving the public land issue toward voters at the next available election.
Boca Raton officials formally introduced the “Save Boca” land protection ordinance and locked in a competitive bidding process for city planning after a tense debate over transparency and development.
Boca Raton City Council will consider a proposed “Save Boca” ordinance next week that would limit the city’s ability to sell or lease larger public land parcels without voter approval.
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.
