Message from the City Manager

WWith 2023 underway, I am pleased to share that we have implemented a number of projects to improve our parks, streets, drainage, and facilities that will help enhance the aesthetics and well-being of our community.

Construction on our new Public Safety –Public Works Campus, located at NW 4150 120th Avenue, is complete. This state-ofthe-art facility is a crucial hub for vital city services. It is a Category 5 Hurricane-rated facility which is climate controlled, housing essential supplies that ensure our continuity of operations during emergencies. At the campus are our Public Works Streets Division, Fleet Services, Central Stores, Fire Administration, the Coral Springs Regional Institute of Public Safety (CSRIPS) Training Administration, Community Risk Reduction and Emergency Management Operations.

I am also pleased to share that we enhanced safety features at our city parks, including plans for the installation of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and water rescue rings near bodies of water in certain city parks. The rescue rings were installed in partnership with the Aden Perry Good Samaritan and Scholarship Fund in honor of a teen who died trying to save someone from the water (see page 15 for details).

We understand the importance of quick emergency response, and these life-saving tools will provide critical intervention if needed.
