The city of Boca Raton is gearing up for its first regular meeting with the new city council, and there’s plenty to look forward to.

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 will serve as chair of the nine-person task force, all appointed by the city council.

Here’s what else is on the agenda for the first meeting:

• Discussion of the downtown campus plan
• Review of the Terra/Frisbie proposal
• Establishment of a timeline for the task force’s recommendations
• Introduction of the city council members and their roles

The new city council is committed to engaging with the community and ensuring that the city’s decisions are made with transparency and accountability. With the creation of this downtown civic engagement task force, residents can have a say in shaping the future of Boca Raton’s public spaces.

Mayor Andy Thomson has stated his commitment to involving the community in the decision-making process, saying “I want to make sure that our city is a place where everyone feels welcome and included. This task force will help us achieve that goal.”

The first meeting of the new city council is expected to be a lively one, with plenty of discussion and debate on the agenda items. Residents are encouraged to attend and share their thoughts and opinions on the future of Boca Raton.
