From The Desk Of Commissioner Marci Woodward A Message from Marci It was a pleasure to host a meet and greet welcoming our new C o u n t y A d m i n i s t r a t o r, Joseph Abruzzo, with representatives from the Town of Lantana, Town of South Palm Beach, City of Delray Beach, Town of Highland Beach, Town of Briny Breezes, Town of Manalapan, Town of Ocean Ridge, Town of Hypoluxo, and the City of Boca Raton, along with our partners from the Professional Firefighters/ Paramedics of Palm Beach County, Bryan Prather, Craig Gerlach, and Bill Sansbury. It was great to have our municipal representatives introduce themselves to Mr. Abruzzo and find common ground through his background as a former State Senator and Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. We also had a productive discussion about property taxes and shared ideas on how to continue improving coordination between the County and our municipalities. These ongoing conversations are key to strengthening relationships, addressing local challenges, and ensuring
we’re working together in the best interests of our residents. A special thank-you to the Professional Firefighters/ Paramedics of PBC for providing the sugar and caffeine to fuel great conversation! And as always, I’m grateful to the South County Civic Center (one of my favorite venues) for hosting another successful gathering.

Director Of Security Season Rush: Easy Gatehouse Tips for a Smooth Entry By Ebenson Bristol As South Florida moves into its busy season, neighborhoods are seeing more home deliveries from takeout meals to online shopping packages. With this increase comes more traffic at the gatehouses, so we kindly ask residents and guests to be patient during these active times. To help make entries faster and reduce waiting times, here are a few helpful tips:
Make It Quick with Fast Pass Help speed up the check-in process by using the Fast Pass system When visitors arrive with both a Fast Pass and a valid photo ID, guards can quickly scan and check them in. This makes the process much faster. Passes can be sent through GateAccess.net or the GateAccess mobile app. Guests can also ask for one when they arrive. This simple step saves time for everyone.
Add Guests Ahead of Time One of the main reasons for delays is when guests aren’t on the list. While officers may call residents to let them know someone has arrived, they may stop these calls if traffic gets too heavy and safety becomes a concern. To avoid this, please add your guests to your list before they arrive. Some residents like getting a call when their guests arrive but there’s an easier way. Both GateAccess.net and the app can send you a notification when your guest checks in. This keeps you updated without slowing down the line.
Reporting Gatehouse Issues Sometimes mistakes or problems can happen. If you notice anything wrong at the gate, please let Access Control know (561) 395-3392 or reach out to me directly at (561) 395-7551. We have steps in place to retrain staff or take other action if needed. Reporting issues quickly helps us keep things running smoothly for everyone. Let’s all do our part to keep Boca Pointe safe, smooth, and friendly during this busy season.
Happy Thanksgiving Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from the Board of Directors and the staff at the Boca Pointe Community Association. In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, the BPCA office will be closed on Thursday, November 27th and Friday, November 28th. We are thankful for all of our residents!
