Did you miss these 3 Miramar stories? Catch up on city spending, mentoring & more
Three recent stories about Miramar covered several topics — big-ticket city spending decisions, an unusual locust infestation at a local park, and the police chief’s recognition for community mentorship.
Here’s a rundown to catch up:
Story 1: $285,000 for Amazon services among major purchases OK’d by Miramar city leaders
Miramar commissioners signed off on a slate of costly items, from hundreds of leased laptops and $285,000 in Amazon purchases to a $4.5 million insurance renewal. They also greenlit funding for a long-term citywide strategic plan and updates to water planning and tree rules that will shape how the city grows.
Story 2: Locust infestation temporarily closes Miramar’s Monarch Lakes Park
Monarch Lakes Park was temporarily closed after a locust infestation spread across its grassy and landscaped areas, prompting pest control crews to move in. Officials say warm, wet weather likely helped the insects multiply, and the park will stay shut until the population is under control, with residents urged to report any large swarms.
Story 3: Miramar police chief was a Big Brothers mentor. Now he’s in its hall of fame
Police Chief Delrish Moss has been inducted into the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County Hall of Fame, recognizing his longtime commitment to mentoring youth. As a former “Big Brother,” he helped launch Miramar’s Bigs with Badges program, which pairs kids with first responders to build trust and show them positive paths for the future.
