Florida licensing on wheels program is back again at Pembroke Pines City Hall. Celebrate Florida City Government Week this October

Message from Mayor Frank C. Ortis

Dear Readers: I am happy to announce that the Department of Motorist Services Mini-FLOW (Florida Licensing on Wheels) program is back again at Pembroke Pines City Hall. This is a very quick, easy and convenient method to handle these types of services. We are very glad to have this available to our residents, and encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.

Florida Licensing On Wheels (FLOW) mobiles offer the following services: • Change from out of state driver license to Florida license • Renewals • Duplicates for lost or stolen license • Address/name changes • ID cards • Reinstatements • Emergency Contact Information registration

Mini-Flow is scheduled at City Hall on the first Tuesday of every month between 10AM-1:30PM. No appointment is necessary-first come first serve. Limited to 40 people. Please check all licensing and proof of identity requirements at www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/what-to-bring/. Please note that no written or driving tests are given from mobile units.

The City of Pembroke Pines is celebrating Florida City Government Week, October 18-22. Sponsored by the Florida League of Cities, residents are encouraged to learn more about their Municipal government, become aware of services that cities perform and learn how city government works. Please join me for coffee on October 20 from 8AM–9:30AM in the lobby of the Charles F. Dodge City Center located at 601 City Center Way. You’ll also get a chance to meet members of our various departments and ask questions about what makes our city great.

for CONGRESS

In Congress Dale will continue to be a champion of:

Economically and politically empowering the people, strengthening families, households and businesses, creating policies that improve access to opportunities and greater economic outcomes, and unifying everyone across racial, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

Dale V.C. Holness

Prosperity For All!

Holness’ entry into public office came in 2004 when he was elected to the City of Lauderhill Commission, a position which he held for six years. During that time, he served as vice mayor twice — in 2007 and in 2010.

In 2010, Holness was elected to represent District 9 in Broward County and also served as Mayor of that county from November 2019 to November 2020 — a year that brought unique challenges and required smart decisions due to the global coronavirus pandemic.

In 2020, while serving as Broward County Mayor, Holness was propelled into the national spotlight as the leader of Broward County during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
