Resident demands answers on neglected graveyard, repeats unverified accusations against mayor
Summary
A public commenter asked the commission to explain the complaint process and demanded an outside investigation into alleged neglect and missing headstones at a historic graveyard; she also repeated a verbal, unverified allegation involving the mayor that commissioners did not address at the meeting.
A speaker identifying herself as Queen used the public-comment period to press for clarity on the city’s complaint process and to demand action on perceived neglect of a historic graveyard in Delray Beach’s north section. She asked who is responsible for maintenance, why a tall tree was cut, and why recently buried graves had not been re-sodded.
Queen also made an unverified allegation aloud, saying, "we got a mayor on an American greed level being accused of a Ponzi scheme, 600,000,000." Commissioners did not respond to or substantiate that allegation during the meeting. Queen repeatedly requested outside investigation and documentation to show the history of the graveyard and said she would return to future meetings for updates.
The commission did not take immediate action during the meeting; public-record follow-up and staff responses were not recorded in the transcript. The allegation against the mayor is a claim made in public comment and is unresolved in the meeting record.
