Three veteran commissioners of the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District will spend four more years in office after no one filed last month to run against them.
Staying on the dais will be Steve Engel, first elected to the board in 2012, and Craig Ehrnst and Erin Wright, who joined in the 2016 election.
“We didn’t have to do election campaigns this year, so that’s a bonus for sure,” said Wright, who chairs the board.
Commissioner Bob Rollins congratulated his colleagues during the board’s June 17 meeting.
“It’s a whole lot easier working with people who have been here rather than trying to start from scratch on things,” Rollins said. “And now we’re all seasoned and we have great working relationships, so I’m just delighted to be able to continue working with the three of you.”
Beach and park commissioners are paid $80 for each meeting they attend and usually meet twice a month. They oversee a $79 million budget. The elected terms begin Jan. 1.
