Doody wrote, “The residents clearly recognize and appreciate your collective efforts and accomplishments.” Tarrant said she hopes to finalize some major issues that have occurred since 2015, “. . . namely the situation with our beach which is set to go to trial in May.” The town is asking the state and the city of Deerfield Beach to adhere to what it believes is a condition of the beach groin permits, i.e. removal or refiguring to prevent the erosion that occurs on the town’s beaches. Other projects on the mayor’s list for completion are replacement of the sewer line, burying utility lines, and raising the height of A1A on the south mile. She is also interested in “addressing the glaring need to improve the functionality of a town hall building that is 60 years old.” Last year, commissioners Irene Kirdahy and Andy Brown were elected without opposition. Kirdahy was an incumbent. Brown ran for a vacant commission seat.

Pelican staff Lighthouse Point – Two first responders were recognized this week by the city commission for their outstanding service to their departments. Ryan Mullarney was named by Chief Ross Licata as Police Officer of the Year. Firefighter Mike Della Rocca received the equivalent award from his chief, Shawn Gilmartin.

Said Licata, “We are of these deadly drugs.” alone, 12,500 people die each year from opioid overdoses. Mullarney was also honored for his work investigating a burglary. Blood samples taken from the scene were DNA tested and the perpetrator was found to have several felony arrests for violent crimes. He also filed the state’s first “risk protection order” following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. That action allowed police to confiscate firearms from an unstable individual. Said Licata, “Ryan is a true team player with an exceptional attitude.” Mullarney has been with the department eight years. His wife Annemarie and daughters Aubrey and Abigail were with him Tuesday. Giving credit to all of his personnel, Licata said the department experienced a 22 percent drop in crime and a near record closure rate of 39 percent in 2018. Della Rocca was selected by Fire Chief Gilmartin for his “exceptional devotion to duty.” Della Rocca has been with the department for 12 years and is a firefighter/ paramedic, engineer/driver and certified fire inspector. According to Chief Gilmartin, Della Rocca excels as an inspector by dealing with the public in a positive manner every day. “He does a great job. He gets compliance without me getting phone calls.” Della Rocca’s family, wife Natalie and sons Jude, Jack and Jace, were present to share in his success. Chief Gilmartin named five other firefighters for outstanding service. They were Nick Palmisano, Mike Brown, Shaun Johnson, Randy Ketterer and Erica Gleeson. 16 The Pelican pelicannewspaper.com Friday, January 11, 2019 Waves Continued from page 10 for being a great place to vacation.
