Lantana Town Council threatened to evict the county from Fire Station 37 if it didn’t agree to pay at least $55,000 plus utilities for its tenancy at the building.
Town Manager Mike Bornstein said early in August that he and the town attorney had met with County Administrator Robert Weisman and Fire Chief Steve Jerauld to negotiate the lease at the property, reporting that some fire-rescue staff argued they should only pay for utilities.
Bornstein said he explained, however, that before the Municipal Service Taxing Unit, the town received $55,000 for the building. Council moved to proceed with an eviction notice if the county made an offer for less. Later in August, the town said it would put the eviction on its Sept. 13 council agenda if there was no progress.
