Family Bicycles, a company in Lake Worth for 17 years whose main store is located at 127 South Dixie, is "leasing" a portion of space in front of the casino for $1,500 for eight weeks. The hours of operation are from 8am to 4pm. The city is calling it a license agreement (the mayor has to sign all leases/contracts and this is signed by the city manager because they are calling it a license agreement) and it commenced on May 6. No reason to bother the mayor and the commission on something so mundane, right?
The legal relationship between the property owner-landlord and a tenant established by a lease is entirely distinct from the legal relationship established by a license between the property owner-licensor and a licensee. Under a bona fide license agreement, the tenant-licensee owns no estate in the premises and has no right to possession. A license agreement is the permission to carry out a particular activity, given by the appropriate authority, in this case, the authority of the city manager.
This is a pilot program. It's too bad it didn't start during the Season. The manager, Albert DeGoias, says that he will be there on weekends. Rentals start at $10 on a major credit card.

Does the CM know what's going on? I thought Juan Ruiz was running the city.
I like this idea. I hope it goes over well. It is a beautiful ride along the intracoastal. Poor Juan Ruiz, every time you turn around the guy is in charge of something else ! Is he a clone, or what ?! Katie Mcgiveron
we should not allow greedy business owners to make money on our beach. this should not be allowed.
I like the idea of bike rentals at the beach, but really this commission seems to do everything backwards, first signs a lease and then presents it at a meeting. Also, I hope they will have a more permanent structure somewhere, as this set up looks junky.
Albert answered the phone when I called and he was WONDERFUL! I mentioned the new ordinance and sent him an email about the bicycle part.
He was so very nice! FYI: He's here helping family and could use all our support. Don't like the idea at the beach - visit the store! If he does all he said he does he's trying to be a good neighbor. That's a good thing, no?
I hope it works out for him but I still think it's the wrong time of year...no Snowbirds and no Spring breakers. Time will tell. The more to choose from at our casino, the more interesting it all is.
