The Retag Committee of the Town of Loxahatchee Groves voted to approve the installation of hitching posts at select park locations, adopting a motion to proceed with wood posts and designated placements. The committee discussed locations including the small park near 22nd Road, South Sea Road entrances and trailheads where trailer access and mounting blocks would serve equestrians.

Committee members debated material choices before the vote, with proponents noting that wood is less expensive and fits the equestrian aesthetic while others said metal pipe would be more durable. Staff described typical installation practice — concrete footings and substantial posts — and said pressure-treated wood or larger dimensional posts (4x4 or 6x6) were options under consideration. The committee agreed to prioritize locating posts where riders routinely arrive and where parking or trailer access exists.

A motion to approve the wood posts and identified locations was made and seconded; the motion carried with the committee announcing the outcome, recorded as "Motion passes 3 to 0." The committee did not record a detailed roll-call of individual yes/no votes in the transcript; the committee clerk recorded the tally as 3 yes, 0 no. The approval directs staff to return at a future meeting with finalized placement locations and any cost estimates needed for procurement.

The decision follows several public comments urging practical placement (trail entrances and parking areas) and staff reports that some trail segments and gate work are already underway to improve connectivity to those sites. The committee said it would solicit suggested installation points from riders and members and asked staff to coordinate exact placement and procurement details before installation.
