September 2020 Croissant Park Civic Association general meeting
Greetings, Croissant Park neighbors,
—Our Zoom meeting was attended by all the Board members and 16 Croissant Park neighbors. That’s our best turnout yet!
—The 2021 Board of Directors slate was approved by a majority of those attending the meeting. The Board members are Pat Rathburn, Michelle DiMaria, Joe Russell, Rhonda Kramer, Heather Cunniff, Jodi Perraud, Virginia Russell, and our newest member Larry Jackson.
—We invited the two candidates who are running for Fort Lauderdale Mayor, Ken Cooper and Mayor Dean Trantalis. Both candidates spoke about the issues that continue to plague our City—homelessness, sewer spills, new buildings, traffic, clean water and waterways and sober homes.
—Our next speaker was Jenni Morejon from the Downtown Development Association (DDA). The new Federal Courthouse building will be located off of 3rd Avenue, south of the New River, near Huizenga Park. Other new government buildings will be built on the bus terminal property.
—A dognapping incident occurred a few nights ago on 16th Court. Neighbors turned out to assist and the dog was returned before the police arrived.
—The big blue USPS mailbox next to Sunshine Cathedral on SW14th Court was tampered with and the local main post office has taped it up to prevent anyone using it to mail letters or ballots.
—Speaking of ballots, we are 5 days out from Election Day on Tuesday, November 3rd. It is too late to mail your mail-in ballot but it is NOT too late to take your ballot to the Government Building drop box located on SW1st Ave. and Brickell Ave. You can also safely drop your mail-in ballot at ArtServe on N. Federal Hwy. You can also vote early in-person at various locations and if Election Day rolls around and you haven’t voted yet, go to your local precinct, probably at the Croissant Park Elementary School on SW 4th Avenue and 17th Street to vote in person, just like the old days. Remember to bring a valid picture ID.
