The Boca Raton City Council met Tuesday afternoon during a regular meeting, approving Ordinance No. 5785, which requires lobbyist certification and disclosure during development application processes to increase transparency and public trust. In addition, updates were provided on public
safety and other organizational matters.Demographics
The council voted 5-0 to approve Ordinance No. 5785. The measure amends zoning application procedures by requiring disclosure of individuals authorized to represent applicants. It also requires certification stating whether a representative is a registered lobbyist or exempt. Furthermore, any applicant representative speaking at hearings must verbally identify themselves, including their lobbyist status. In addition, the ordinance applies only to development applications. It works in coordination with Palm Beach County lobbying registration laws and does not replace county requirements.
Under the new process, certifica -
tion is required during the completeness review of applications and must be updated throughout the review period. Whether an individual qualifies as a lobbyist is determined by whether they are compensated or retained to advocate, in accordance with the county’s lobbying definition.
During public comment, several residents raised concerns about how the ordinance distinguishes professional consultants from paid lobbyists. They also questioned whether such disclosures might have prevented past controversies. Additionally, some expressed concern about potential gaps if lobbyists influence legislation outside the development application process.
However, others voiced support
for the ordinance. They said the ordinance strengthens transparency and public trust in the development review process and reinforces the principle of an open government.
“It is a key element of good governance to always do the public’s business in public, in the sunshine, and not in the shade,” a resident said during public comment.
During his City Manager report, City Manager Mark Sohaney updated the public on an early-morning shooting near Southeast Mizner Boulevard. He said the incident remains under active investigation and noted that the police and fire units responded quickly.
In addition, Sohaney reported an increase in traffic stops as part of an ongoing traffic enforcement initiative.
Following the City of Boca Raton’s annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday morning, city officials and community members gathered at City Hall for the Memorial Park plaque unveiling ceremony.Geographic Reference
Community advocates who worked to preserve the park’s historical significance attended alongside City Council members, veterans, residents, and other guests. The unveiling on Memorial Day carried special meaning, as the plaque recognizes World War II service and sacrifice.
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by U.S. Navy veteran Frank Patton.
City Manager Mark Sohaney, a retired Navy captain, opened the remarks by sharing his personal connection to the unveiling ceremony. He emphasized the importance of places like Memorial Park in honoring those who served and their families, while preserving the park’s historical meaning and legacy of sacrifice tied to Boca Raton’s history.
“As we move ahead together, I believe there’s a shared commitment to ensuring this park remains a place of remembrance, reflection, and respect for generations to come,” Sohaney said.
By Caris Weinberg
Additional remarks were given by Boca Raton Mayor Andy Thompson, who reflected on the nation and its blessings over the past 250 years and Boca Raton’s role over the past 100 years. Thompson highlighted the city’s contributions during World War II, including the Boca Raton Army Air Field and radar training operations. He also noted that Memorial Park
was originally dedicated in 1947, but over time its significance became less recognized by newer residents and visitors, underscoring the importance of preserving local history on Memorial Day.Theme Parks
“I am so thankful to be able to dedicate and unveil this Memorial Park plaque today for the first time in a meaningful way so that everyone from
this point forward knows that this city loves its history and we care about our country,” Thompson said.
“We will make sure that this property, that their sacrifice, and the things that were done in order to help preserve this country, remain alive forever.”
The Boca Raton Army Air Field, now the site of Florida Atlantic University, served as a major training center for men and women learning radar technology during World War II. The training contributed to national defense and the Allied victory, linking Boca Raton to a broader story of innovation, service, and sacrifice during the war.
In 1947, Boca Raton dedicated Memorial Park to recognize World War II service and sacrifice, highlighting the city’s role in the war effort. Over time, however, the park’s commemorative purpose became overlooked by many residents and visitors.
In recent years, community advocates raised concerns that Memorial Park’s historical significance was being forgotten. Their efforts helped renew public awareness of the site and led to the installation of the new plaque as part of a broader initiative to preserve Boca Raton’s World War II legacy.

The marketplace exposes weight fast. A deal falls apart. A trusted leader walks away. The numbers dip. The board wants answers now. Your team is watching you, trying to read your face. At home, the pressure does not let up. Decisions wait. Conversations linger. And somewhere in the middle of it all, the thought creeps in and will not leave: This is too much for me.
That moment tells you something. Not just about the situation, but about what you believe. We assume the weight is too heavy and we are too weak. That is the reflex. But what if that is not true? What if the weight is not misplaced? What if it were measured?
Scripture keeps pressing against our instinct to run from pressure. Noah carried the burden of obedience when no one else understood. Joseph bore betrayal and delay before stepping into leadership. Moses stood before Pharaoh with a stutter and a staff. Daniel held his ground in a hostile system that wanted to reshape him. These were not men who avoided weight. They were men shaped under it.
Paul may be the clearest example. Once a persecutor, now a preacher. When the Lord called him, He did not speak vaguely. He said, “He is a chosen instrument of Mine” (Acts 9:15). Not random. Not accidental. Chosen. An instrument is not picked because it is convenient. It is picked because it fits.
Paul’s mind, his training, his endurance, even his past, all of it was forged into something God could use. The assignment was heavy, but it was not careless. The instrument matched the mission. That is how God works. Chosen instruments carry what the moment requires. Sometimes that looks like clarity when everyone else is anxious. Sometimes it is calm when pressure spikes. Sometimes it is compassion when people are worn thin. Sometimes it is grit when quitting starts to sound reasonable. The weight reveals what has been built in you.
Paul knew pressure. Not theory. Reality. He wrote, “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair” (2 Corinthians 4:8). That is formation. The strain
was real, but it did not own him. The weight did not break him because God had already been shaping him to bear it. The same is true for you.
The lessons you learned the hard way. The disciplines formed when no one was watching. Even the wounds you would never have chosen. None of it is wasted. God does not build instruments blindly. He knows exactly what will be required, and He prepares accordingly. So, if you feel the weight, do not rush to assume something is wrong. It may be that something has been entrusted to you. Before you ask for the burden to lift, ask for the strength to carry it well. Ask for wisdom. Ask for endurance. Ask for clarity in the middle of pressure. God does not call and then step back. He equips. He sustains. He finishes what He starts.
The weight may be real. But it is not random. The same God who placed this moment in front of you is the One who prepared you to stand in it. You are not carrying something arbitrary. You are carrying something assigned. And sometimes, the difference between breaking and leading is simply believing that what God placed on your shoulders was not a mistake. It is a calling.

“Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great.” Luke 6:35 (NLT) Heaven probably already sounds pretty good to you. But did you know there are going to be rewards in heaven?
You will be rewarded for everything you did in obedience to Jesus while on this earth.
God is watching everything in your life. You will be rewarded in heaven for your good actions, speech, and thoughts; for your character and good decisions; and for your generosity and sacrifices. You’ll be rewarded for loving your enemies and for not giving up when it was difficult to do the right thing.
You will be rewarded for bringing other people to Jesus Christ. (Is anybody going to be in heaven because of you?)
You will be rewarded for putting up with criticism for being a Christian and for being persecuted as a believer. That’s why Jesus said, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:11-12 NIV).
God is watching it all and is going to reward it all.
These rewards have nothing to do with your salvation. The only way you get into heaven is by faith in what Jesus Christ has already done for you. You can’t get into heaven by your good works. But the Bible says that when you get to heav-
en, you will be rewarded according to your good works.
There are all kinds of verses about this. Matthew 10:42 says, “If you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded” (NLT). It seems like such a simple thing to give a cup of water to someone or to share a meal. But every time you do that, it’s like God says, “I’m writing that one down. I’ve got them all recorded.”
You get to decide where you want your rewards. Do you want them in this life, or do you want them in the next life?
Jesus said, “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great” (Luke 6:35 NLT).
If you choose this life’s rewards— like popularity, wealth, fame, success, and comfort—then you will enjoy them for only 80 years or so. But if you build up rewards in heaven, you’ll get to enjoy those rewards forever.
Don’t settle for the rewards this world has to offer. As a child of God, you have so much more to look forward to!
Talk It Over
The phrase, “What would Jesus do?” may seem overused in Christian culture, but how is it helpful for making choices that will be rewarded in heaven?
Why do you think God wants to reward you for your obedience?
In what ways are you working for rewards on earth? In what ways are you working for rewards in heaven?

Miss America is coming to the Kravis and convention centers in West Palm Beach in August. Tickets go on sale in July. Beauty Pageants
I covered the pageant in the ‘70s for a major newspaper in Philly when it was still an Atlantic City, N.J. tradition. Watching it on TV or the boardwalk parade were must-sees. It was a pivotal time for the pageant. The women had chaperones. Even their fathers weren’t allowed to visit. Bert Parks was still the emcee and singing “There She Is…” as the winner walked the runway.
I was well aware of the pushback from the feminist movement that literally trashed Miss America as an irrelevant beauty contest. But even though I kept my own name after marriage and used Ms., neither of which ever caught on, I had no misgivings about covering pageant week. I never dreamed of being Miss America. I wanted to be among the first women reporters who jumped up on the runway to cover the press conference backstage. I got my wish.
Covering Miss America as an insider was an eye-opener. A contestant’s boy-
friend had died, so her song at a rehearsal was emotional. Never mentioned on the show. By then, the reporters, all men back then, could already tell who would never make the finals. Women in too fancy evening gowns and their mother’s jewelry, for instance. I thought fitness wasn’t a criterion. I was wrong.
Later in my reporting career I became friends with a former Miss America contestant who was just a judge in the latest New Jersey pageant. Then Marie McLaughlin was Miss Pennsylvania in 1976, beating out actress Sharon Stone, who was Miss Crawford County that year.
Even later, my husband was the PR guy for the opening of an Atlantic City hotel casino. Bert Parks was their spokesman and told us he found out in the media he had been fired after 25 years in an attempt to modernize Miss America. I still have our picture with him.
I ended up covering the women’s movement nationally for that Philly newspaper. It went out of business in 1982, after I left for a pre-internet startup at Time Inc.
The pageant has survived and has since changed venues. Many of the Miss Americas became doctors and other educated women through their scholarships. Contestants now adopt a cause. I’ll let you know what else has changed to keep up with the times when I cover Miss America again after all these years.

City staff presented updates and possible ways forward at Tuesday’s workshop meeting. With no votes at workshops, the four topics were detailed to-do lists to be decided on at future city council meetings. They included proposed plans for the downtown civic area, police station complex, softball fields and a freestanding emergency facility now lacking in city limits. Proposing more softball fields at Countess de Hoernle Park/Spanish River Athletic Facility was particularly well received after meetings with parents and league officials about their needs, and also the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District.

“We are not currently doing this. We’re looking at it more as a discussion,” said Greg Stevens, Recreation Services director. Later Tuesday at their meeting, city council unanimously approved an ordinance at the request of Deputy Mayor Michelle Grau to “establish a clear and consistent framework for disclosure of lobbyist participation in the city’s development review process.”

It was noted lobbyist registration in Palm Beach County is governed by a countywide ordinance administered and enforced by the Palm Beach County Commission on Ethics.
The city’s new Ordinance No. 5785 requires that anyone appearing before City Council, the Community Redevelopment Agency, or a board on behalf of an applicant state on the record whether they are a lobbyist and whom they represent.
“The key is if someone is compensated, not speaking on their own behalf,” noted city attorney Josh Koehler. Mayor Thomson called the new measure “a good step in the right direction.”
The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office has released the June 1 estimates of taxable property values to local taxing authorities throughout Palm Beach County (attached). Under Florida law, property values are determined based on market conditions as of January 1, 2026. These figures are preliminary and remain subject to change.Geographic Reference
Palm Beach County-wide taxable property values increased from 2025 to 2026.
“Somewhat similarly to 2025, we are seeing value increases focused in
the new construction space, particularly in residential new construction,” said Palm Beach County Property Appraiser Dorothy Jacks, CFA, FIAAO, AAS. “Almost 4,000 new residential units—including single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes— were added to the tax roll this year. This is new property value that was not taxed before.”
The preliminary taxable value estimates are used by the county, municipalities, school district, and other taxing authorities as they begin developing budgets and setting proposed tax rates for the coming fiscal year. Once proposed tax rates are established, the Property Appraiser’s Office will mail Truth in Millage (TRIM) notices to property owners in August.
The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office will continue reviewing and updating 2026 values in advance of the July 1 submission deadline for the preliminary tax roll to local taxing authorities and the Florida Department of Revenue.
Relief—and a fair share of construction headaches—is finally arriving for West Boca commuters. Palm Beach County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) have hit major milestones in their multi-million dollar push to dismantle the gridlock plaguing the area’s western corridors.Restaurants
From expanded intersections to highway-widening initiatives, here is the official breakdown of the traffic shifts reshaping the West Boca landscape this month.
Boca Rio Road: Intersection Relief Marred by Turnpike Noise
Drivers navigating Boca Rio Road are experiencing a tale of two distinct construction realities.
At the intersection of Boca Rio Road and SW 18th Street, the daily bottleneck has finally eased. Contractor Bergeron Land Development has officially wrapped up a $3.45 million modernization project. Commuters now have access to a newly constructed second southbound leftturn lane. The upgrade features brandnew mast arm signals, fresh asphalt, and structural retaining walls designed to keep traffic flowing toward eastbound SW 18th Street.
By Kartik Krishnaiyer
However, the relief is bittersweet for nearby homeowners. Just east of Boca Rio Road, FDOT’s massive $100 million Florida’s Turnpike widening project is in full swing. Crews have cleared extensive tree lines along the Boca Rio canals to prepare for additional highway lanes stretching from the Sawgrass Expressway up to Glades Road. Residents should prepare for ongoing overnight construction noise and visible highway exposure as this multi-year widening initiative pushes forward.City & Local Guides
Lyons Road: The Push for Four
Further west, the highly anticipated widening of Lyons Road between Clint Moore Road and Atlantic Avenue is entering a critical transition phase.
The project—heavily demanded by residents moving into massive new developments aims to completely rebuild and expand the corridor from two lanes into four. After facing lengthy historical delays due to undocumented underground utility lines, county crews are actively making structural progress. The $18 million project includes flatting dangerous
curves, adding dedicated bike lanes, and constructing extensive trench drainage systems to prevent local flooding.
Just south of the county line, commuters will also encounter active work zones at the Lyons Road and Atlantic Boulevard intersection. FDOT is executing a $3 million modernization effort to extend the dual southbound left-turn lanes on Lyons Road to handle heavy vehicle queuing. Expect temporary lane closures and nighttime safety relamping through this zone.
Northern Extension Stalled
While West Boca sees active asphalt being poured, northern commuters waiting for a breakthrough will have to wait longer. Palm Beach County officials recently confirmed that the long-discussed northern extension of Lyons Road near Wellington remains officially stalled. The county maintains that the extension will remain on hold until neighboring U.S. 441 reaches maximum traffic capacity.
Local authorities urge drivers to utilize mobile navigation apps, remain alert to changing lane configurations, and expect minor delays during peak morning and evening rush hours along both corridors.

Driving north on Lyons Road, just past Glades, the landscape felt entirely transformed. Gone were the days when this stretch was defined solely by oldschool Mediterranean roof tiles and sprawling equestrian estates. Once upon a time Lyons ended at Clint Moore Road and everything north was reserved for Agriculture. Restaurants
Today, Lyons Road has become the runway for GL Homes’ boldest architectural evolution: the Lotus Trilogy.
GL Homes, the region’s dominant
residential developer, has reshaped a massive stretch of former farmland between Glades Road and Atlantic Avenue. The shift marks a definitive end to the old-world, Mediterranean-style country club aesthetic that defined Boca Raton for decades, replacing it with a new era of traffic and higher-density residential development, that still looks tasteful
The architecture across these communities prioritizes clean geometric lines, large impact-glass windows, waterfall quartz features, and open-concept floor plans that cater heavily to modern indoor-outdoor living.
A major factor driving buyers to the Lyons Road developments is a cultural shift in how affluent professionals want to live. Historically, luxury living in Boca meant buying into mandatory-equity golf communities like Woodfield or Addison Reserve that were developed in a manner to keep the hybrid feel of the Agriculture Reserve, whose preservation was a big issue that drew me into local politics in the late 1990’s. .
GL Homes has capitalized on a new preference: five-star, resort-style
amenities without the steep, non-refundable golf equity fees. This is helping draw people to our area in numbers that are perhaps unsustainable. Demographics
The influx of high-end housing has completely altered the local real estate market. Fueled by a massive wave of out-of-state corporate relocations and affluent buyers from New York, California, and Miami, the area has seen rapid price appreciation. Local real estate analysts note that the $1.5 million+ price tag has become the “new normal” for new construction in West Boca, shifting the demographic toward younger executives and families drawn to the area’s top-rated public and private schools.
However, the rapid development of the 260-acre agricultural parcel has not been without serious growing pains. Local homeowners and civic groups, including the West Boca Community Council, have previously voiced concerns over increased traffic congestion along Lyons Road and State Road 7 (U.S. 441), particularly around Olympic Heights High School.
GL Homes has attempted to mitigate these concerns by engineering multiple entry and exit points across both major thoroughfares, while residents continue to advocate for county-level road widening – but how much more can these roads be widened? Can State Road 7 really be an 8-lane thoroughfare. Again I might be dating myself but I remember well when SR 7 was two lanes throughout Palm Beach County and as late as 2000, it was 2 lanes north of Clint Moore Road.
Last week, I did a Podcast for the Florida History Podcast on the late 1980’s killing of the extensions of the Sawgrass Expressway north from Coral Springs to Flavor Pict Road in West Boynton. The assumption then was that overdevelopment would result from the highway’s extension and the unique agricultural focus of the area would be lost.
Real Estate
As it turns out about 35 years later, the development has come in a big way and the highway infrastructure isn’t strong enough or large enough to absorb all of this development. So what happens next is anyone’s guess.
Over 50,000 children in Palm Beach County struggle with food insecurity. Since 2011, Boca Helping Hands (BHH) has confronted this need through their weekend meals program for elementary school students. Now,
BHH is introducing its newly renamed KidsPack Weekend Meals Program (formerly called BHH Backpacks) for underserved student campers this summer. City & Local Guides
In 2025, Boca Helping Hands distributed 288,546 weekend meals to students at 15 local schools and 5 summer camp programs, serving 1,962 children each week, and it hopes to increase that number this year. Some of the summer day camps that will receive KidsPack Weekend meals this summer include Achievement Centers for Children & Families, Pine Grove Elementary School, Village Academy, Boys & Girls Club of Delray Beach,
and Pearl City Cats. The rebranded program comes with a new mascot, Packy the Turtle, symbolizing the steadiness and care that characterize the initiative.
“While our name is changing, our mission remains the same. KidsPack better reflects who we serve and what we provide, weekend meals designed specifically for children. It’s a clearer name with renewed energy,” said Andrew Hagen, CEO of Boca Helping Hands. “Our goal is to ensure kids can be kids without the burden of worrying about food insecurity.”
After the summer, the program will continue operating every Friday throughout the 33-week school year.
Each KidsPack provides six meals thoughtfully planned to support students who may not have consistent access to food over the weekend, helping ensure they return to school on Monday nourished and ready to learn.
The community is asked to support this program through donations and volunteer support. Your generous $12 provides six meals for a child over the weekend, $624 sponsors a child for a year, and any amount helps make sure no child worries about their next meal. Contribute at bocahelpinghands.org/ KidsPackDonation. Volunteers can sign up to pack boxes at https://www. bocahelpinghands.org/volunteer.

The annual event brings together families, community leaders, and local organizations with a shared purpose of supporting causes that directly impact lives. This year, proceeds will benefit Speak Up For Kids of Palm Beach County, providing critical resources,
experiences, and services for children in foster care.
Every day in Palm Beach County, children in foster care are navigating trauma, instability, and uncertainty, and community support helps restore a sense of normalcy and dignity in their lives.
Driven by the motto “The Spirit of Service,” the BAPS Charities Walk/ Run has been held for more than 20 years and serves as an annual community initiative focused on service and engagement.
Last year, more than 45,000 participants joined the movement, supporting BAPS Charities’ five key focus areas: health awareness, educational services, humanitarian relief, environmental protection, and community empowerment.
The organization also supports more than 90 local beneficiaries, including first responders, educational institutions, food banks, and healthcare institutions.

Forecasters with NOAA’s National Weather Service are predicting a below-normal hurricane season for the Atlantic basin this year. However, local emergency officials emphasize that South Florida residents should not let their guard down.City & Local Guides
According to NOAA’s outlook for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, there is a 55% chance of a below-normal season, a 35% chance of a near-normal season, and just a 10% chance of an above-normal season.
By the Numbers: The 2026 Outlook
NOAA expresses a 70% confidence in its seasonal ranges. For comparison, an average Atlantic season produces 14 named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major hurricanes. This year’s forecast falls noticeably below those benchmarks:
2026 Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Names
Should storms develop, the World Meteorological Organization has selected the following names for the 2026 cycle:Weather Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias, Josephine, Kyle, Leah, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paulette, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky, and Wilfred. El Niño vs. Warm Atlantic Waters
The driving force behind this year’s below-normal forecast is a clash of competing climate factors.
An El Niño conditions are expected to develop and intensify during the heart of the season. El Niño typically suppresses tropical activity by creating strong vertical wind shear, which tears storms apart before they can organize.
Conversely, ocean temperatures in the Atlantic are expected to be slightly warmer than normal, and trade winds are likely to be weaker than average—factors that usually fuel storm development. Forecasters believe the dampening effects of El Niño will ultimately win out, keeping overall numbers down.
“Although El Niño’s impact in the Atlantic Basin can often suppress hurricane development, there is still uncertainty in how each season will unfold,” said NOAA’s National Weather Service Director Ken Graham. “That is why it’s essential to review your hurricane preparedness plan now. It only takes one storm to make for a very bad season.”
Officials also remind coastal residents
that these seasonal outlooks measure overall basin activity and do not predict landfalls. Where and when a storm hits is determined by short-term, highly variable weather patterns.
New Tech and Better Forecast Tools for 2026
To combat unpredictable tracking, NOAA is deploying advanced technology— including AI-based weather models, drones, and next-generation satellite data—to boost forecast accuracy.
“Our experts are integrating cutting-edge tools to ensure communities in the path of storms receive the earliest, most accurate information possible,” said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Enhanced Communication and the “Cone of Uncertainty”
Locals will notice a major change to the familiar National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast cone graphic this year. The updated visual will now include inland tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings for the continental United States, ensuring residents away from the immediate coastline understand their risk.
Additionally, the NHC is testing an experimental forecast cone designed to better capture variations in both a storm’s direction and timing.
AI and Drones Take Flight
Drones in Models: For the first time, data from small uncrewed aircraft systems (sUAS) will be integrated directly into NOAA’s live forecast models. Studies show this data can improve hurricane intensity forecasts by 10%.
Machine Learning Radar: Forecasters are using machine learning to quality-control data collected by “Hurricane Hunter” aircraft, capturing 25% more high-quality meteorological data.
Flood Mapping: NOAA’s high-resolution Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) services will expand to cover nearly 100% of the U.S. population by late September 2026, giving local emergency managers street-level visualizations of potential flooding.
Stay Ahead of the Storm
While the forecast offers peace of mind on paper, Boca Raton residents are reminded that seasonal averages matter little if a single storm strikes the area.Weather
NOAA will issue an updated seasonal outlook in early August, just ahead of the historical peak of the season (mid-September through October). Residents are encouraged to check their shutters, restock hurricane supply kits, and visit weather.gov/safety and Ready.gov for step-by-step preparedness guides.

It wasn’t on the agenda. But disagreements broke out at Boca’s workshop meeting after the veracity of a Save Boca message on a new police station generated hundreds of emails to city council. The headline read “City Pushes on with $190 Million Taj Mahal Police Station.” Voters had
soundly defeated approving an obligation bond in a referendum on the city’s March ballot. When the subject came up at Tuesday’s meeting, Councilman Jon Pearlman was cited but didn’t agree he approved the Save Boca message that other council members said contained misinformation.
(See the link to the message below.)
City & Local Guides
Mayor Andy Thomson raised the issue after a staff presentation on projected new costs and location for a new police headquarters. “We heard the community loud and clear. We are reassessing that location and a $70 million savings. At no point are we pushing forward $192 million,” Thomson said. “The message was “predicated on false information” and “created division, confusion and uncertainty. Now I have 200 emails on this. We don’t
have to create more issues for ourselves,” the mayor said.
A timetable for resident feedback and final design and approval by ADG already on board was presented for discussion only. Pearlman disagreed with the timetable for both building and resident feedback. “I’m wearing two hats now,” he said about his dual role as a city councilman and president and chairman of Save Boca. He showed a sheaf of printed-out emails, saying they were sufficient for community feedback. He took issue with six months of feedback in the new plans.
“The answers you have are here,” he said. “We’re trying to determine what residents will support.” He also pushed for building in a year instead of just starting to build in three years, noting the longer it took the more money it would cost. A five-year de -
lay “could be back to $192 million,” he said. “We can get this done for taxpayers,” he added, calling the planned wait “irresponsible.” He proposed using the city’s “unassigned funds” and reserves, instead of approving a lower cost bond than was previously defeated by voters.
Fellow council members had their say. “It’s important we’re revisiting the plan,” countered Deputy Mayor Michelle Grau. “I’m apologizing to those residents because they are getting wrong information,” said Councilwoman Yvette Drucker.
Pearlman said Save Boca is “a big organization,” citing a board and volunteers. “Did the chairman approve it before it goes out?” Mayor Thomson asked him about the message. Then added. “You are not willing to acknowledge” that directly.

I was able to experience the PBS Napoleon: The Immersive Saga tonight at the South Florida PBS Studios in Boynton Beach. The experience runs from May 22-August 2. It is a true cinematic adventure because it uses Virtual Reality (VR) technology to let you step into the life of Napoleon Bonaparte. You virtually march through key moments of the French empire and are literally on the battlefield of the Battle of Austerlitz to the exile of Bonaparte on St. Helena. Beaches & Islands
If you are a history buff, this is a great experience. However, it is not for the faint of heart or if you get dizzy easily. The technology is incredible and worth witnessing firsthand.
The exhibit traces Napoleon Bonaparte’s rise to power, detailing his charisma, military strategies, and propaganda techniques. Bonaparte was a
26-year-old general when he rose to prominence and he fell in love with Josephine de Beauharnais a 32-year-oldwidow. He led his troops with enthusiasm, surprising the enemy with rapid attacks. Bonaparte’s victories in Italy were widely publicized, and he used art and newspapers to promote his image. As Emperor, he implemented sweeping reforms, including a centralized government and a new legal code.
The exhibit cost is Adults $35, Students, Seniors, Military and First responders $30. Parking is free. The location is 3401 S. Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach.
