Commission Meeting Recap

The City Commission gathered for a Regular Meeting on Tuesday, February 11.

A Fond Farewell

It was a bittersweet moment at the top of the City Commission meeting on Tuesday evening. The Commission led our community in thanking and wishing Captain Christopher De Giovanni much success after providing outstanding service and dedication, as BSO Cooper City District Police Chief, for more than four years. Captain De Giovanni is set to be promoted to the rank of Major within the Broward Sheriff’s Office and will assist the Sheriff in overseeing the agency’s northern section.

Recreation Advisory Board Recognized

The City Commission also recognized the dedicated members of the City’s Recreation Advisory Board this week. For decades, Recreation Advisory Board members have volunteered countless hours to help support and improve the many City events and programs that touch the lives of our residents. Their input and suggestions have also helped shape the parks and facilities that we cherish in Cooper City.

More than 30 local businesses and organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life of our community’s seniors attended our annual Senior Lifestyle Expo at Cooper City High School.

We thank the Senior Advisory Board, our sponsor Memorial Healthcare System, and all the organizations who shared information about their services and resources. Most importantly, thank you to all those who attended the event and contributed to its success.
