• Creation of a “downtown civic engagement task force”
• Mayor Andy Thomson requested the creation of a Downtown Civic Engagement Task Force that would facilitate a structured, community-driven process for gathering input regarding the future of Memorial Park and the surrounding public spaces.

The idea behind the task force is to proceed with a downtown campus plan that begins with community input, as opposed to the Terra/Frisbie proposal that was criticized for moving quickly and with poor communication from the city. Thomson would serve as chair of the nine-person task force, all appointed by the city council.

• Community input on Memorial Park
• A downtown campus plan that prioritizes community input
• A nine-member task force with Mayor Andy Thomson at the helm

The new city council is looking to make a positive impact on the community, and this first meeting is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more updates on what’s happening in Boca Raton.
