Movies in the Park is Saturday, Dec. 2nd...yes, that's this Saturday. Join us for this 2016 animated comedy adventure that follows the storks as they no longer deliver babies, but packages. But then, after 18 years, they receive an order for a baby. What will they do? How will they fix this error? Find out at 6 p.m. on Saturday at the Margate Sports Complex, 1695 Banks Road.

A note from a resident to Fire Chief Dan Booker: "After watching a movie this afternoon we stood outside chatting when a fire truck was approaching. My friends 4yr old is in awe of fire trucks and firefighters so we were pointing out the truck. The amazing men on the fire truck noticed and turned on the lights and sirens. The experience didn't end there. They stopped the truck right in front of us, took the little boy and put him in the passengers seat. Nico was so stunned and couldn't stop smiling as he sat there then looked and waved at the driver. Once the firefighter took him down he then took time to talk to him and give him a high five. I promise you this 4yr old is still smiling. As they drove away we said..."Who needs Santa Claus when you have Margate firefighters!!". Many thanks to these men and each of you that work so hard for our community." ❤️❤️❤️

We have a new website! Check it out: http://www.margatefl.com/

Wondering what we've been up to lately? Well, we've been hard at work building a new website for our residents and community. It's launching tomorrow, and we're so excited. Features include: • A new citizen request tracker. Citizens will not only be able to report concerns such as potholes, weed control issues, street light outages, etc., but they will also be able to track the work from start to finish via email notifications. • The NotifyMe feature provides the City more options to communicate with the public. Citizens can sign up to receive city alerts, electronic newsletters, press releases, events and meeting notifications via email and text message. • CivicHR makes applying for a City of Margate job and attracting the best talent easier. Candidates will now be able to apply, provide resumes and additional resources, and save progress online - from anywhere, anytime. • The Bid Postings module provides a simple and easy to use method of posting bids. This new feature will allow users to sign up to be notified when a new bid becomes available. Fingers crossed that our launch will go off without a hitch!
