In a recent council meeting held on June 18, 2025, the City of Riviera Beach celebrated a significant legal victory and discussed upcoming community events that promise to engage residents.

City officials announced the successful denial of a petition by Mr. Loseman in the United States Supreme Court, marking a notable win for the city. This victory was highlighted as a crucial step in protecting the city's interests. Additionally, the council shared news about a class action lawsuit concerning PFAS, commonly known as "forever chemicals." As a result of this lawsuit, the city is set to receive approximately $12 million, with an additional $3 million expected from two other defendants. This funding could provide vital resources for community projects and environmental initiatives.

The meeting also recognized the commendable efforts of Captain Michael Boney and Fire Paramedic Daniel Keating, who received awards for valor. Their recognition underscores the city's commitment to honoring public safety personnel and their contributions to the community.

Council members expressed gratitude to local store owners who attended the meeting to discuss parking issues at the Mariner and Ocean Walk Mall. The council is considering extending parking durations from two hours to eight hours in larger lots to better accommodate shoppers and support local businesses.

Looking ahead, the city is gearing up for a festive July 4 celebration at the marina, featuring music and fireworks. The event is scheduled from 3 PM to 9 PM, with fireworks starting at 9 PM. The city is also planning a back-to-school event on August 2, in partnership with Sincere 2000, aimed at supporting students and families as they prepare for the new school year.

As the council continues to address community needs and celebrate local achievements, residents can look forward to these upcoming events and the positive impacts of recent legal victories.
