Remembering Rob Weber — South Palm Beach Mayor Bonnie Fischer paid tribute to coastal engineer Robert “Rob” Weber, 46, who died on May 29. Weber, of Boca Raton, was the coastal coordinator for the town of Palm Beach. He played a vital role in restoring and preserving local beaches, including South Palm Beach’s.
Weber and Fischer were instrumental in forming an interlocal agreement with Palm Beach, South Palm Beach and Lantana for dune restoration.
“Our beach today is significantly better due to his engineering expertise,” Fischer said.
Committee appointments — Council member Elvadianne Culbertson, Lantana Town Manager Brian Raducci and Manalapan Town Manager Eric Marmer were appointed to serve on the newly established Auditor Selection Committee. The committee will help the town select a qualified independent auditor for financial audits.
New employee — Town Manager Jamie Titcomb introduced the town’s newest employee, Emma Trotto. She is the administrative assistant to the town manager and town clerk. She works from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. weekdays.
Trotto, a Lake Worth Beach resident, previously was a community relations director and tour guide for the Florida Sugar Cane League. She has a bachelor’s degree in management, sustainability and marketing from State University of New York.
