Jones, Jr. Representative West Park. Commissioner Dale V. Agency Pic. Address: Email: Tel: Fax: Hours:. Accessibility Options. Text Size. Add Contrast. Cronyism, special interest, a lack of modern-day moral leadership and a near-zero grasp on human resource functions led three of five commissioners to look for every legal loophole possible to hire sitting Coral Springs commissioner Larry Vignola as Assistant City Manager in Margate.
One resident called it corruption. McLean Gets Five Years. Ordered to Pay Legal Fees to State. Former Margate city commissioner, David McLean, was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday followed by four years of probation after losing to the State of Florida for accepting a bribe in He was ordered by the court to pay prosecution fees, leaving defense attorney, Ed McGee, strapped for payment.
Former Margate City Commissioner Arrested. Guilty on Horizon. Lugo on Lobbying. While developers 13th Floor lobby elected officials in private; the same elected officials in public refuse to discuss the potential rezoning of the Carolina Club golf course.
Contradictory to the spirit of the U. Commissioner Joanne Simone asked why she was "leapfrogged" for the vice mayor seat multiple times in her two-term tenure. New Day in Margate Politics. Margate Early Voting Vision. Facilities and parking are ample. Seniors could earn poll-working bucks and the location is as central as it gets.
Come on Margate! Then, we can all hope for a better and higher functioning Margate City Commission so badly needed now and into the future. Margate residents deserve very much heightened consideration from the Margate City Commission balanced against the enormous pressure for building development that Margate and all of neighboring towns are dealing with today.
The wisdom required of our elected Commission officials will be found in their ability to see and act on the underlying unifying issues that are affecting both residents and economic building interests equally.
Given that politically balanced wisdom, our Commissioners will function with a measure of mutual respect and decorum, which has been badly missing at times in past City Commission meetings.
A decorum reflecting the due respect all Margate voters should receive when we view our Commissioners in action, helping to overcome the misgivings that so many of us have about our governance.
Leaving the voting booth is only the beginning of your individual responsibility for attending to your local government. This is because you will need to participate in a renewal of the most important policies that our Margate City Government will be required to follow into the future.
It's called the new Comprehensive Plan and it requires your utmost attention and attendance to direct the Margate City Commission in bringing about what you want and expect Margate to be in the coming years. Some parts of our current Comprehensive Plan have been ignored for thirty years, since the very first plan was put in place as required by Florida law. That part of the plan pertains to storm water flood control infrastructure, known as drainage. There are several components of the new Comprehensive Plan that will be put in place over the coming months that will determine whether Margate keeps it's home town environment as much as possible, or whether the town is over run by developer controlled building construction.
If the City of Margate accords itself honorably and ethically, per lawful requirements, we Margate residents will be directly contributing to the new Margate. The owner of the townhouse properties contiguous to the Greenhouse that was part of the Greenhouse hi rise proposal may be owned by someone that was friendly with mobster Nicky Scarfo.
Union Local has been influenced by organized crime over the years. They would benefit from the construction of a hi-rise. Commissioner Amodeo has been affiliated with this Union for many years. He was murdered by the Mob while eating dinner in Atlantic City back in the s. There was also a concrete contractor that had questionable connections.
They were murdered in a Margate Condo in No question. So is the Margate Solicitor opining that he can limit the topics? I think he should render his opinion in writing to the public.
Your article about bocca was a complete lie. They had 9 on 9 wiffle ball games all summer long on Essex ave with the street closed, and every neighbor was extremely happy to have parking. You only write about Marty Small during election season, and you protect Ventnor politicians and the police chief who continue to do wrong and cover things up.
EVERY neighbor? So you verified this with each of them? Apparently they must be different ones than those that registered significant concerns and threats of legal action on this site. The Margate senior citizen crowd no disrespect intended just go in and pull lever 1 and the same people get voted back in. The Mayor looks old and tired and needs to ride off into that beautiful sunset you can see from the new promenade.
