Storm Drain Cleanup
Each year, Palmetto Bay employs a contractor to clear stormwater drains throughout the Village to prevent standing water which may lead to flooding during a significant storm event. Drain cleaning is implemented annually in advance of the Hurricane Season which runs from June 1st to November 30th.

During the FY 2021-22, the Village Council approved the selection of EnviroWaste Services Group and allocated $150,000 to work on the zones which they began on February 14, 2022 and it's estimated to be completed in 2-3 months.

Parks and Recreation Master Plan
On January 21st, the Village of Palmetto Bay Parks and Recreation Department met with Mr. Alfredo Sanchez from Bermello Ajamil & Partners for their first meeting of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Process.

Next step is to meet with elected officials. After that, they will schedule various public meetings to gather resident input.

They will be incorporating resolution items in drawings, images of improvements, and one-on-one meetings with elected officials. A stakeholders meeting will take place with the Parks and Recreation Community Outreach Committee. They will also meet with the Neighborhood Protection Committee, Art-In-Public Places Advisory Board, Tree Advisory Board and the Tennis Center group.

We will keep you up to date with this two year process as it continues to move forward.
