Greetings!
As Hallandale Beach's first directly elected mayor I welcome you to our city's web site. Eight years ago when I was elected to the commission, one of my first goals was to create an effective and efficient "E" government. Our new web site is the culmination of the hard work of our staff and bussiness partners. With your input we have produced a user friendly site to serve all our residents. I hope you find this service invaluable to access all our departments and programs. Please contact me with any further information you may need anytime. You can also visit my site at www.MayorJoyCooper.com
