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.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s on the agenda:

• Creation of a “downtown civic engagement task force” to gather input on Memorial Park and surrounding public spaces
• Downtown campus plan with community-driven process for gathering input
• Discussion of the Terra/Frisbie proposal and its criticisms
• Review of city council’s role in the planning process
• Establishment of a timeline for completing the downtown campus plan

The task force will be responsible for facilitating a structured, community-driven process for gathering input and ideas from residents. The goal is to create a comprehensive plan that reflects the needs and priorities of the community.

Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and provide their input on the downtown campus plan. The city council’s first regular meeting will be held at 7:00 PM at City Hall, located at 201 Clematis St, Boca Raton, FL 33432.
