East Bradenton Park: pool vs. football field
Dozens of residents packed the meeting over the county's plan to replace the long-closed Willie Clemens pool with a splash pad and build the Broncos a football field. Supporters say the pool is condemned and unused; opponents say the community deserves both. The city notes it's a county park, so funding decisions rest with county commissioners.

Love Park redevelopment bidding delay
Board members aired real frustration: outdated '2025' signage still stands, and Public Works comments arrived late on fencing, trees, lighting and maintenance. A pre-construction meeting is next.
