New Mayor and Commissioner are elected The votes are in and residents have elected a new Mayor and City Commissioner for Coral Springs. On Friday, November 16, Mayor Vince Boccard and Commissioner Dan Daley took their oaths to serve the citizens of Coral Springs. Boccard will serve two years as Mayor, while Commissioner Daley will serve for the remaining two years of Boccard’s term as Commissioner. "This has been a long journey and I’m excited to be the new Mayor," Mayor Boccard said. “I love what I do and it’s really an honor and privilege to be elected Mayor of this fine City.” Current City Commissioner Larry Vignola and Vice Mayor Tom Powers ran unopposed and took oaths to serve four more years. Commissioner Claudette Bruck’s term continues through November 2014. “I’m very excited about the future and look forward to the next 50 years. Our residents will receive the same level of service that our predecessors have provided,” Vice Mayor Powers added. Commission meetings change in 2013 At its October 16, 2012 meeting, the Coral Springs City Commission voted to change its meeting dates from Tuesdays to Wednesdays, effective January 2, 2013. Beginning January 2013, regularly scheduled Commission meetings will be held on the first and third Wednesday of each month. The first meeting of the month will begin at 9 a.m., while
Mayor Vince Boccard takes his oath of office, given by his sister Lisa Boccard, alongside (left to right) his daughter Sophia, wife Terry, mother Jean Boccard and uncle, Most Reverend Bishop Friend.
the second meeting of the month will be at 6:30 p.m. Shifting one meeting a month to the morning provides an alternative to our residents, school groups, and other interested parties who cannot attend evening meetings. “These changes represent a process improvement for the City, as well as our community, and allow adequate time to prepare for issues appearing on the agenda after the federally-recognized holiday weekends,” City Manager Erdal Donmez said.
