Springs to focus efforts on three key areas

Coral Springs will focus its efforts and sharply-limited resources in three priority areas: aesthetics, public safety and education.

At a fiscal year 2010 business planning workshop and special City Commission meeting held recently, City Manager Mike Levinson and city staff presented city officials with an outline of nearly 40 potential new business plan initiatives.

Among the proposed initiatives are implementation of phase II of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program which offers foreclosure assistance to low and middle income people, continuation of the city’s CSBizAssist program, a business tax amnesty that will enable first-time applicants to avoid penalties for operating businesses prior to Oct. 1 this year, and a code enforcement lien reduction initiative.

To improve public safety, the city will implement a red light and security camera pilot which will ensure increased safety at major intersections by using red light cameras for law enforcement and traffic management purposes. The safe driving initiative will promote overall safe driving habits and reducing the speed of vehicles on major roads and neighborhood streets, while an educational campaign to prevent prescription drug abuse will target the dangers of illicit prescription drugs.

Additional city initiatives for the next fiscal year will focus on continued improvement of city workforce productivity and continued investment in capital improvements. Visit www.coralsprings.org.

Aesthetics? Then start by getting our paid City Inspectors to start issuing warnings on house/apt./duplex pressure cleaning (roofs and/or walls)and painting as needed. This has become pathetically lax in the last 18 months and pressure cleaning is so cheap to have done or do yourself. Why aren't they enforcing this and helping perserve the beauty of our homes here?? We have enough foreclosures to deal with but this is something that can easily and cheaply be done.
