At its Dec. 11 meeting, the Coconut Creek City Commission approved a slate of routine consent agenda items and a group of separate resolutions and ordinances with limited debate.
The commission approved minutes from prior meetings and a $6.8 million FY2025 budget transfer to record a recording officer safety program subscription in accordance with GASB 96 (from general fund account 0199‑9903 to account 0161‑6407 with offsetting revenue appropriated). The commission also authorized participation in a regional law enforcement mutual‑aid agreement and accepted FDOT grants: $40,000 for occupant protection and child‑passenger safety and $45,000 for aggressive driving education and enforcement.
Separately, commissioners approved a three‑year subscription/services agreement with Granicus LLC (Resolution 2025‑186) for legislative management software, a neighborhood tree canopy replacement grant for Baywood Village (Resolution 2025‑177; postponed from Nov. 13), and a matching grant for 2803 Victoria Village for security enhancements (Resolution 2025‑191), with the mayor recusing from the Victoria Village vote. The commission also adopted Ordinance 2025‑55 on second reading, authorizing the mayor to execute a fifth amendment to the T‑Mobile South LLC lease for the Winston Park communications tower.
The meeting opened with a swearing‑in ceremony for new police officer Douglas Franke; Chief Fred Hoffer conducted the presentation and City Clerk Kavanaugh administered the oath. Resident Susan Steinhauser offered a public comment during non‑agenda public comment, endorsing the Broward Solid Waste Authority master plan and urging Coconut Creek to continue leadership.
