Quick question for local business owners in Pompano:

Were you aware of an opportunity to partner with the city on “revamping” or leasing the existing Pompano Beach Snack Shack (the one that used to serve coffee on the beach)?

Please share your thoughts and experiences.

Also- quick question for residents:

Were you aware of any plans from the city to ask or look for potential partners/tenants?

Any signs displayed on the building itself? Anything?

Please share your thoughts and experiences.

Beverly Perkins- we are truly offended by what you, your residents (whom had valid concerns and showed up multiple times at public meeting to share their concerns and opinions) had to endure. Our community as a whole, and the audience in attendance at the meeting.

Guys- this was BAD. It was cringe worthy to just sit there in person and want to be able to come to the defense of our neighbors being verbally attacked, shamed, and in the case of Ms. Perkins- directly attacked, repeatedly.

This is NOT OK.

Let’s be better & do better. A LOT of working together means EMPATHY has to exist- and Mr. Moss failed miserably at representing this city and his district by being so hateful that evening.

Enough said. Go watch the replay and share your own opinion!

We attended this.

In a short few words… it was terribly embarrassing to watch and witness such a complete lack of compassion from Commissioner Moss to his fellow commissioners AS WELL as the citizens he verbally attacked- plus ALL of us who endured sitting through his rampage.

In one word: UNACCEPTABLE.

Just wanted to give some kudos to the staff at the City of Pompano Beach…

Today, we sat through a development review committee meeting at City Hall, and I have to say that the entire team in that department, has the patience of saints!

Their collective job is to make sure that any projects that are brought to them follows the letter of the code as it’s written- for each department and for each project as a whole.

Their job is to make sure that developers and their architects, project managers, team, etc. comply with all city ordinances and building codes when projects are submitted. That job is not for the weak!

These processes & many conversations and meetings with developers, architects and city employees, often take several months or longer.

Several meetings with revisions, questions, changes, more changes… multiple times, and many conversations both off-line and in a public forum “review”, where the city officials have to endure difficulties, sometimes from belligerent architects and or developers who do not like what they are being told.

This is ALL before the projects go through to the Planning & Zoning board or City Commission for approvals!

I know that over-development is a major concern for our group. It’s important to appreciate the hard work of these teams of people at the city who help stop A LOT of the “insanity” before it ever gets any further.

Just wanted to make sure this was shared publicly, so that if you ever do find yourself sending an email to any city officials, please be as kind as possible, because they have to take a whole lot of everything from a lot of different people. That can be tough sometimes!

The biggest takeaway, is that ultimately everybody is working to make sure their job is done well and effectively.

As always, it’s okay if people end up disagreeing on certain topics, there is ALWAYS room for some middle ground… but after sitting through that meeting (and the commission meeting yesterday) I wanted to take a moment to share just a quick reminder—

Please be kind to one another.

Thanks!

❤️ City of Pompano Beach

Attended the architectural approval meeting at City Hall with about ten friends from both towers.

We viewed a 15+ story hotel with 220 indoor valet parking planned for the Bank of America site. It was a nice building but do we want a hotel across the street????

The builders will go before the Planning and Zoning board on the 22nd of May.

We need a big representation from both towers to halt this project. Please pass this on to all residents in the area and plan to go!

Big thanks to Jeannine & crew for their attendance at the meeting!!!
