Palm Beach Town Attorney John Randolph issued the final verdict in a long-running dispute over whether former President Donald Trump can live at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Randolph said an agreement between the town and Mar-a-Lago signed in 1993 allows the former commander in chief to live at the club as a โ€œbona fide employee,โ€ Town Manager Kirk Blouin told the Palm Beach Daily News.

The agreement converted Mar-a-Lago into a private club from a private residence. While some neighbors had said the private club designation prohibits Trump from residing on the premises, Randolph pointed to the townโ€™s zoning code, which allows private clubs to provide living quarters to a โ€œbona fideโ€ employee.

According to Trumpโ€™s attorney, John Marion, the former presidentโ€™s duties at Mar-a-Lago include managing the property, vetting employee performance, identifying operational improvements, checking the clubโ€™s financials, greeting guests, attending events, and suggesting candidates for membership.

The price of an annual membership at the club is $200,000.

Following a meeting with the town council, Randolph said, โ€œThere is no action for the town of Palm Beach to take at this time.โ€ Council members didnโ€™t express any disagreement with Randolphโ€™s assessment.

Reginald Stambaugh, an attorney representing Trumpโ€™s neighbors, argued in December that Trump is residing at the property in violation of the 1993 agreement while posing a security risk and devaluing nearby properties, according to Palm Beach Daily News.

Trump has been living at Mar-a-Lago since leaving the White House on Jan. 20, and frequently joins events hosted at the clubs, including weddings and fundraisers.

The ex-president is expected to spend the summer at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, according to media reports. Mar-a-Lago will close its main club for the summer beginning on Motherโ€™s Day. The beach club will remain open until July 4, while the gym, spa, tennis, and croquet will stay open until the end of May, the Palm Beach Daily News reported.
