On the clerks' matter, staff explained that Florida law currently contains exemptions for personal contact information of judges, prosecutors, certain law-enforcement staff and others, but not municipal clerks. The Municipal Clerks Association asked cities to support a resolution urging the Florida Legislature to extend an exemption for clerks' addresses and contact information. The commission gave consensus to have staff prepare the nonbinding resolution for consideration at a future meeting.

On the BSO contract, the city manager reminded the commission that the city's contract for public-safety services expires Sept. 30, 2025, and that the notice-of-intent-to-renew deadline falls roughly six months prior (staff noted a March 31, 2025 window). The manager said the city has about six weeks before the notice deadline and sought guidance. Commissioners expressed support for triggering the renewal option while preserving termination clauses and the ability to revise terms; staff said they would proceed to provide the required notice and continue discussions if commissioners want a workshop.

Ending
Staff will draft and return a resolution supporting a statutory exemption for municipal clerks' personal contact information and will proceed with the procedural notice related to the BSO contract while preparing any additional materials the commission requests for further direction.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Cooper City - City Commission Meeting - Feb 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff asked the commission to approve drafting a resolution urging the legislature to exempt municipal clerks' personal contact information from public-records disclosure; commissioners also acknowledged an upcoming deadline to notify intent on renewing the Broward Sheriff's Office contract and signaled consensus to trigger renewal options.","taxTitle","Cooper City, Broward County, Florida","taxId",45148,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6667337,"Cooper City honors Capt.

The commission presented a proclamation that chronicled DeGiovannis career with the Broward Sheriff's Office, his military service, and the programs he led in Cooper City including a real-time crime center, license-plate readers and other technology deployments, expanded patrol staffing, and redesigned code-enforcement efforts. The proclamation described initiatives such as \"Get the Scoop,\" \"Operation Front Door,\" \"Crafting with a Cop,\" and community-engagement events launched or expanded under his leadership.

Captain Christopher DeGiovanni told the commission, \"It's been my absolute pleasure to serve you,\" and emphasized the city's crime reductions under his watch. He cited specific reductions: closing 2024 with 45 vehicle burglaries (down more than 70% from the year he inherited) and a drop from about 30 residential burglaries in 2020 to 10 for 2024. He also said January 2025 showed \"another 48% reduction in crime\" compared with January 2024. DeGiovanni credited investments in staffing and technology and urged the commission to \"stay the course\" on public-safety spending.

Commissioners and a former mayor offered public praise. Former Mayor Greg Ross said Cooper City \"has been safer because of him,\" and several commissioners thanked DeGiovanni for rebuilding and strengthening the city's public-safety partnership with the Broward Sheriff's Office.

The commission declared a day in DeGiovanni's honor and wished him and his family well as he moves to the county-level assignment; commissioners urged continued investment in public safety to sustain recent crime reductions.","The commission presented a proclamation recognizing Capt.

The plan envisions inexpensive, quarterly events held in chambers where commissioners sit at tables with small groups of residents to talk informally while doing a simple craft.

Commissioner Mallozzi proposed starting with a minimal-cost activity such as painting rocks and suggested charging a small fee (the backup discussed $5) to reduce no-shows. He said Eventbrite or similar registration could be used for signups. Staff indicated they could coordinate logistics and that the program could run once per quarter with limited supplies to keep costs low.

Commissioner Mallozzi and staff member Alex volunteered to coordinate an initial session; no formal vote was required. The commission agreed by consensus to proceed and asked staff to return with registration details, fee structure and a schedule.

The commission took up Ordinance 25-06 on first reading, a package of amendments to Chapter 17 (Traffic and Motor Vehicles) that revises sections on handicapped parking, citations for parking violations, prohibited stopping/standing/parking on certain roadways, and related enforcement rules. Staff and commissioners discussed signage and how fine amounts should reference the city\u000fee schedule for easier future adjustments. The ordinance was presented and moved forward on first reading; staff indicated they will return with cross-references to the consolidated penalty schedule for second reading.

On Ordinance 25-04, the commission voted on second reading to amend the process for installing traffic-calming devices on private roads within residential communities. No public speakers opposed the measure during the hearing; commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance.

On Ordinance 25-05, the commission adopted on second reading a new Public Safety Advisory Board as a permanent advisory board under Chapter 2 (Administration). Commissioners added a requirement that board members employed by a public-safety agency must recuse themselves from votes that would directly affect their employer; the city attorney confirmed that language could be incorporated and applied through board procedures. The ordinance passed unanimously.

Votes at a glance
- Ordinance 25-06 (amend Chapter 17: parking, stopping, standing) — action: ordinance_first_reading; status: advanced on first reading; staff to revise signage/fine cross-references for second reading.
- Ordinance 25-04 (private roads, traffic calming devices) — action: ordinance_adoption; outcome: approved; roll call: Commissioner Smith: yes; Commissioner Mallozzi: yes; Commissioner Katzmann: yes; Commissioner Schroeder: yes; Mayor Curran: yes.
- Ordinance 25-05 (create Public Safety Advisory Board) — action: ordinance_adoption; outcome: approved; roll call: Commissioner Smith: yes; Commissioner Mallozzi: yes; Commissioner Katzmann: yes; Commissioner Schroeder: yes; Mayor Curran: yes.

The commission also moved items 11 and 12 onto the consent agenda and approved the consent items by unanimous voice vote earlier in the meeting. Staff said they will bring a cross-reference to the city\u000fee schedule so future fine adjustments do not require amending multiple ordinances.

Ending
Staff will return with the revised parking ordinance language and a consolidated penalty-schedule cross-reference for second reading, and the new Public Safety Advisory Board will be established under the adopted ordinance with procedures requiring recusal for members whose employer would be affected by a board recommendation.","The Cooper City Commission held readings and votes on three code changes: a first reading on parking and stopping rules, and final adoption of ordinances on private-road traffic calming and a new Public Safety Advisory Board (with a recusal rule for members employed by public-safety agencies).","actionData","errors"]
