The Lantana Town Council gave a thumbs up to a $195,965 contract to build boat docks at Sportsman’s Park Boat Ramp.
Mayor Dave Stewart said the town had entered into an agreement with Palm Beach County in 2008 for $300,000 to pay for docks at 330 E. Ocean Ave., on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The money came from the Palm Beach Waterfront Access Bond. But because of the construction of the new Ocean Avenue Bridge, the dock project had to be delayed.
The town received six bids for the dock project and awarded the contract to the lowest bidder, B&M Construction Inc. of Boynton Beach.
The docks will be made of composite plank decking that town staff said resembles wood.
In other action:
The council voted to increase the salary of Town Manager Deborah Manzo by $5,000 to $117,000. Manzo took the job last year after former manager Mike Bornstein became city manager in Lake Worth.
hen she began, Manzo made $97,476, what Bornstein was making at the time. That amount was about $20,000 less than she made as assistant city manager in Greenacres. Last year, the town raised her salary to $112,000.
