Mayor Kintz's justification on supporting the Atlanta Braves in John Prince Park

Comment Up

Atlantis publishes a monthly Newsletter.  In the June/July 2016 newsletter, the following is an excerpt by Mayor David Kintz that pertains to the resolution their council passed in support of the Atlanta Braves.

The council voted 4-1 supporting the concept of an Atlanta Braves Spring Training Facility in South Central Palm Beach County. There was a good deal of discussion from Council and comments from our residents prior to voting on this resolution. Since then, a few residents who didn't understand why we brought this resolution forward wanted to know why we supported the idea of a sports facility in our area. Central Palm Beach County has been, in my opinion, neglected by the County for many years.

The County has spent incredible amounts of money and re-sources supporting many projects in the north and south areas of the county: Roger Dean Stadium, the new Nationals/Astros facility and Scripps to name a few. These projects have brought many great things to the local areas surrounding them. Furthermore, the County will not be interested in negotiating with the Atlanta Braves if the local cities are not in support of a facility of this caliber. This is why we passed Resolution 16-08 to offer our support for the concept of the facility. Lake Worth, Greenacres and Lantana all have passed similar resolutions.

The Atlanta Braves will be designing an extensive economic study of just how their new facility will have a positive impact on the local areas, and will present this to the County Commission in the near future. Once we have a chance to review all of the proposals, we will be in a position to either support a solid plan that benefits Central Palm Beach County or not, if the plan doesn’t make sense.

Atlantis is a beautiful and quiet community directly across from John Prince Park. As far as homes, it is totally built-out.

According to the agenda on-line, on April 20, the City of Atlantis supported  Resolution 16-08 supporting the Atlanta Braves Spring Training Facility in John Prince Park. They supported 10,000 fans screaming for their team, the Atlanta Braves. They supported a $110 million dollar tab and giving away 100 acres FREE to a billion dollar corporation for private gain. They supported the destruction of our preserve, our county park.

The council comprises the following:  Aaron Rinker, Catherine Higgins, David Kintz, Lauri Melear, Michael LaCoursiere.  Lauri Melear won her election this past March 15 and was the only councilman in Atlantis to vote NAY on the resolution to bring it to John Prince Park...the only one with some sense.

There was lengthy discussion that began in a workshop with a resolution placed on their council agenda two days later. I am sure that the Board of County Commissioners were pushing all local commissions to support this resolution. John Prince Park as the destination was changed to support a "training facility in the southern part of the County."

They did the same thing that Lake Worth did...trying to mitigate any objections from supporters of our park. Four residents spoke out against this with one wanting it.  The mayor, David Kintz, discounted that stating that he had about 15 friends who weren't at the meeting who supported it. Believing that it would be an economic and development boom to Atlantis and South Congress Avenue where they want development, four commissioners voted for it.

It is unbelievable how stupid some elected officials are.
