Little League agreement reached — Boynton Beach city commissioners approved a five-year agreement Dec. 17 that will allow Boynton Beach Little League to use the city’s Little League Park facilities and will end the lawsuit the league filed against the city in January 2024.
The agreement, in exchange for the league having the suit dismissed, was approved without comment at the commission’s regular meeting following a closed-door session on the subject that same evening. It comes after the two sides had a meeting of the minds in August. The league is also known as East Boynton Beach Little League.
“This agreement emerges from a recent legal settlement and establishes clear operational guidelines for the organization’s use of the City’s ballfields and resolves all litigation and potential attorney’s fees and costs,” a city staff report said.
Beach park treatment plant to be repaired — Boynton Beach city commissioners approved an agreement for upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant at Oceanfront Park to Close Construction Services, LLC, of Okeechobee, which bid $907,000 for the work, with an additional 10% contingency.
City staff reported the existing treatment system is more than 20 years old and “showing signs of wear and corrosion.” The work is mainly for rehabilitation of the rotating biological contactor system.
“Several events during 2018-2019 identified flows exceeding the permitted capacity, causing the plumbing fixtures in the park infrastructure to leak,” staff reported.
