Coconut Creek appoints Jeffrey Wasserman as new Vice Mayor

The City of Coconut Creek has officially appointed Jeffrey Wasserman as the new Vice Mayor during the City Commission meeting held on March 27, 2025. The nomination was met with unanimous support from the commission, marking a significant leadership change for the city. Vice Mayor Wasserman expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, stating he is excited about the upcoming year and the initiatives the commission will undertake.

In addition to the leadership announcement, the commission approved several key agenda items. Notably, a resolution was passed that authorizes the city manager or her designee to sign outside agency permit applications. This resolution is crucial as it streamlines the process for Public Works to obtain necessary permits for various capital improvement projects, including stormwater management and environmental compliance. The changes in permit language, particularly from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, necessitated this action to ensure the city can efficiently manage its infrastructure needs.

The meeting also included a review and approval of minutes from previous sessions, with no public comments on non-agenda items. The commission emphasized the importance of maintaining decorum during meetings, ensuring that all discussions remain focused on city business.

As the city moves forward under Vice Mayor Wasserman's leadership, residents can expect continued efforts to enhance community services and infrastructure, reflecting the commission's commitment to progress and development in Coconut Creek.
