Jeanne Maidlow (709 SW 74th Avenue – 954-721-2551)  – said she objects to early meetings.   “82% of the residents are under 45 and they work.  This early hour is not fair.  Community means shared by all and not shared by a few. The City of Tomorrow is becoming the City of the Past.  We have high crime and no law enforcement.”  She said she reported loud parties at late hours and BSO does not respond.  She requested the Commission poll other cities to see if they are happy with BSO.

 

Mayor Brady explained that we have one meeting each month at 5:30 and one at 7 p.m.  He directed her to Chief Cavallo with reference to her complaints about BSO.
