The Cooper City Commission held a budget workshop on July 22, 2025, where various topics concerning city projects and community safety were discussed. The meeting began with a review of ongoing projects, including the installation of LED street lights on Griffin Road. Concerns were raised about the responsibility of the city regarding this state road, leading to a reconsideration of the project.

A significant portion of the meeting focused on the proposed roundabout at Hyattis Road. Commissioners expressed mixed opinions, with some residents opposing the roundabout while others advocated for it due to safety concerns when making left turns from nearby developments. Commissioner Mallozzi proposed conducting a traffic study to assess the feasibility of a traffic light at the intersection, suggesting that a letter campaign from residents could support the request for a waiver from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

The discussion also touched on the need for traffic calming measures at the intersection of Northeast Lake Boulevard and Hyattis Road. Commissioner Eisner highlighted previous community feedback indicating support for such measures. The commission agreed to consult with the homeowners association regarding the results of a questionnaire on traffic calming devices.

The meeting also addressed ongoing issues with power surges affecting residents, attributed to construction work by subcontractors for Florida Power & Light (FPL). Commissioners expressed frustration over the lack of communication and resolution for residents experiencing electrical problems. A consensus was reached to draft a resolution addressing these concerns and to report the issues to the Public Service Commission.

In conclusion, the workshop highlighted the commission's commitment to addressing community safety and infrastructure concerns while navigating the complexities of state regulations and resident feedback. The next steps include further discussions on traffic studies and potential resolutions regarding the power issues affecting residents.
