Roy Gold, who was re-elected unopposed to the Coral Springs City Commission, wants to focus on green initiatives and improving the quality of life in the city.

“The city’s new public safety building at Mullins Park will be green," Gold said. "We have a number of issues with downtown. I want to work with schools and for increasing public safety. I am satisfied with the support I got from the commission on environmental initiatives and sustainability issues.”

Gold said he felt pretty relaxed while on the campaign trail. “You never know until the end. I assembled a nice group of people and had [more than] 100 signs all over the city," he said.

Residents are concerned about increasing foreclosures in the city and about foreclosed homes not being cared for, Gold said.

“That’s one thing I heard from many people," he said. "They really value the appearance of the city and property values. The city is coming out with a new plan to tackle the problem. We want residents to inform us when they see a home in a bad state. We want them to help us do a better job.”
