During public comment at the Boynton Beach City Commission meeting Tuesday, residents raised safety and regulatory concerns about charter‑boat operations at Harvey Oyer Jr. Park and accused the Police Department of refusing to allow an internal affairs complaint.

Barry, a local business owner who runs a charter business, said as many as 20 operators are advertising from the park and many lack proper county or state registration, commercial insurance and business filings. “One of those 20 boats has the city of Boynton Beach BTR ... less than 50% of them are on Sunbiz with a Florida corporation,” he said, urging the city to require permits, stickers, inspections and monitoring at the city dock to ensure safety and fair competition.

Chip Sheehan, another local operator, said licensed operators must maintain captain’s licenses, city and county BTRs and $1,000,000 insurance, and said many who advertise from the boat ramp are not being checked or monitored. He urged the city to require those coming by water to pick up at the city dock so operations can be monitored.

Separately, Cindy Falco de Corrado told the commission she was falsely arrested on March 5, presented what she called new evidence and medical documentation, and alleged the department had refused to let her file or update an internal affairs complaint. Falco cited Florida statute 112.533, saying every law‑enforcement agency must receive and investigate complaints. She urged the commission to act to ensure compliance and transparency.

City staff did not announce immediate enforcement actions at the meeting; commissioners and staff heard the public remarks and did not take formal action during the session.

Next steps: staff and departments will be responsible for following up on regulation and enforcement inquiries; commissioners asked staff to take these concerns under advisement.
