The Boca Raton City Council held a special public hearing Jan. 27, 2026, to consider Resolution 6-20-26 and to introduce Ordinance 57-72, steps the council said would prevent a separate petition from disrupting a binding March 10, 2026 referendum on the downtown campus transaction. The council adopted the resolution 5-0 and introduced the ordinance; public commenters from the Save Boca effort challenged the council and defended the petition drive.
