The Junior Honor Society of Margate Middle School is asking residents to drop off boxes of Macaroni & Cheese at City Hall to help Kids in Distress. The Macaroni & Cheese program was started two years ago by a Margate 6th grader and has provided more than 3,000 boxes of Macaroni & Cheese to needy families and children throughout Broward County. Read email to city from Grade 8 reading teacher Candice Barth.

MORE CITY BUSINESS

• Margate Fireworks are on for the Fourth of July. Location will be Downtown Margate at State Road 7 and Margate Boulevard.

• City commissioners approved extending the Sounds of Sundown, downtown Margate’s live music showcase, through the summer months—dates and performers TBA.

• The Margate Community Redevelopment Agency approved purchasing 1695 Banks Road for $540,000 last month. The parcel lies adjacent to the Margate Sports Complex and is tax assessed at $484,480 in 2010, an almost 10 percent drop from the land’s 2009 tax value. MCRA Executive Director, Frank Porcella, said the MCRA has no plans for the property at this point but said one option would be to sell it to the city.

• Margate city officials cited the Fellowship Group Home on Banks Road in Margate for expanding their operation without permits. Residents in Margate have complained more than once to city officials about problems with group homes in their neighborhoods.

• Margate City Commissioner David McLean said Margate Lobbyist, Jack Tobin ‘Got him in the door’ during this year’s legislative session in Tallahassee.

“For those who don’t think we need a lobbyist, I’ll tell you our lobbyist got us in the door.”

If getting Margate taxpayers in the door means being on the ass end of receiving Seminole Compact funds, McLean may be right. Last on the receiving list is Parkland with a 2 percent share of Compact funds and second from the bottom is Margate with an 8.5 percent share. Coral Springs is getting 12 percent and Coconut Creek 55 percent.
