Dear Friends:
It's my honor to serve as your City Commissioner for Pembroke Pines District 4 -- the Southwestern portion of our city. District 4 includes all areas South of Pines Boulevard but North of Pembroke Road, and West of Flamingo Road out to US 27, plus the communities of Chapel Trail and Malibu Bay. We are a culturally diverse and exciting community joined together by common pride and desire to see our city progress. We're a vibrant and friendly district of residents, businesses, parks and environmentally preserved areas. I love our city. My wife and I are proud to raise our family here. You can count on me to protect and defend our home. To make it better. And to uphold the standards that make our quality of life special.

According to CNN/Money and Bloomberg/Business Week Magazines, Pembroke Pines is the best place in Florida to live and raise a family. We've also received the prestigious All America City award. Those are high honors among others that the city has received. But we are also a fantastic place to do business, to recreate or retire. Few communities offer our combination of outstanding quality of life, low taxes and great services. Pembroke Pines is not a community of complainers, when we see a problem we fix it. We speak up when we like something, and especially when we don't. That's what keeps City Hall responsive to you. Let's keep it that way.

The responsibility you've given me to represent you in City Hall is an obligation I take very seriously. That's why I meet with residents constantly to learn what they think and how we can improve our city. This is essential because it keeps me focused on what's important to you. Our city faces difficult challenges in the days ahead. These challenges are not mine alone, they belong to every resident and together we must address them to keep our city moving forward. It's that feeling of participation, of being in it together that makes us an All American City.

To keep you informed, I write an article every month appearing in most of your community newsletters. Please share your thoughts and comments with me about the articles or about anything of interest to you in our city. Your comments and concerns are important to me and I can assist you in English or Spanish as you prefer. I consider myself very lucky to live here and so should you. Let's make sure we always feel that way.

Angelo Castillo, Commissioner
City of Pembroke Pines,
District #4
