November 1, 2021
Good morning Palmetto Bay! It was a busy weekend in the Village as we celebrated our Drive thru Halloween event, Deering Estate's Chef by the Bay and of course greeted a large number of Trick or Treaters last night. Fall is definitely in the air!
Tonight we have our Regular Council Meeting beginning with our Recognitions at 6:30 pm, with the Regular meeting beginning at 7 pm. We will be recognizing Ms. Deanne Dalby, Principal at Howard Drive Elementary, as the Village's Principal of the Year. Join us in celebrating her years of service to our community. This is also National Adoption Month and we have several families that will be joining to recognize and celebrate their adopted children. Our agenda is full and there are many important issues that will be discussed, including the 87th Avenue Bridge Interlocal Agreement. Click here for the agenda.
Item 14A is the Interlocal Agreement for 87th avenue. I have met with many of the impacted residents and understand your concerns. I also thank the many that have emailed and called to discuss the interlocal. You can view the agenda here. The agreement that is highlighted in the agenda is our last proposal to the county. Unfortunately, as of this morning, the Village has not yet received the county's counterproposal. You won't want to miss this meeting. There are three options for participating in tonight's meeting. You can click here to see what works best for you.
Last week we held our First Annual Mayor's Citizens Academy! The once a month, ten class interactive program will give residents and business owners the opportunity to learn about the Village's governmental process. Fifteen residents joined us to learn more about how Village government operates and how they can be get involved. We have such an amazingly diverse group as a part of this first class of the academy. From artists and biological scientists to CEOs and retirees... #PalmettoBaysGotTalent. If you would like additional information, please contact Missy Arocha, Village Clerk at (305) 259-1234, or via email to: clerk@palmettobay-fl.gov.
I also had the opportunity to join the Chamber South Coalition of Mayor on a panel last week for the monthly breakfast. We discussed business initiatives in our municipalities and also our positions on other issues facing the our cities, like the UDB Urban Development Boundaries) and RTZ (Rapid Transit Zones). It was a powerful breakfast and certainly the theme that resonated was what happens in one city will impact all. Click here to view photos of the event.
There is still time and a few seats left for our Annual State of the Village. It has been another year filled with the unexpected, but we have accomplished so much! The event is scheduled for Thursday, November 18, 2021 at Ludovici Park. Enjoy an evening of celebrating our Village's talent, while enjoying great company among friends and neighbors as we launch our year-long celebration of the Village's 20th birthday! In an abundance of caution, this is a limited-capacity event and RSVP is required.
As always, I am here to answer questions or lend a helping hand. I can also be reached at kcunningham@palmettobay-fl.gov or at 305-799-0695. Together we are making Palmetto Bay a better place to live, work, learn, and play.
Warm regards,
