New commissioners take seats, begin work tonight

A special Thursday night city commission organizational meeting will take place March 26 at the Delray Beach City Hall, 100 NW First Ave. The meeting is open to the public and will confirm the selection of vice mayor, deputy vice mayor and a roll call for the newly sworn-in Delray Beach City Commission.
New commissioner Adam Frankel will take his seat on the dais along with new mayor Nelson "Woodie" McDuffie, commissioners Gary Eliopoulos, Mackenson Bernard and commissioner Fred Fetzer who faces re-election in March 2010.
Once the ceremonial issues end, the commission will discuss the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, look at a request to extend time for quasi-judicial procedures for Atlantic Plaza II (a redevelopment project in just northeast of Atlantic Avenue and Southeast Sixth Ave./U.S. Highway 1 in downtown Delray Beach), and will consider an agreement with Coastal Commercial Group, LLC.
Commissioners will also review scheduled city commission dates through April 2010, establish a date for the 2010 "Goal Setting Session" and review city commission liaison appointments to various advisory boards and outside agencies.
The meeting will last two hours.
For more information call the city at 561-243-7000.
