Good morning Palmetto Bay! Hope you are enjoying this change in weather and taking advantage of the great outdoors. Last week we held our Regular Council Meeting. Click for this 3 minute recap on what happened.

This week will be a very busy one for the Village. We have our Committee of the Whole meeting tonight and will be discussing some controversial issues including recreational rentals, Palmetto Bay Park, and gas powered leaf blowers. These items are for discussion only and we won't be voting or taking action. There are many ways to participate in our meetings.

We will also be moving forward in our 87th avenue Conflict resolution. This week on Thursday, January 20th, we will be in joint meetings with both the Commission and TPO. Click here to see how you can participate. Click my video below to get a quick update.

I will be hosting The Mayor is In office Hours this Friday from 3-5 pm. If you are out and about, stop in and say hi. No appointment is necessary. If that is not convenient for you, please reach out and we can schedule some time to chat in person or virtually at your convenience.

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.  I look forward to seeing you in and around the Village. Together we are making Palmetto Bay a better place to live, work, learn, and play. 

Warm regards,
Honoring a Village Friend
On Friday, I was honored to have the opportunity to recognize the late Al Dotson Sr. at this year's YMCA of South Florida's Stand for Something Luncheon. Al embodied Martin Luther King’s legacy and passion by devoting his life to advancing equality, opportunity for all, and challenged all Americans to participate in the never-ending work of building a more perfect union. He was a man described with many nouns – groundbreaker, visionary, community builder, mentor, philanthropist, patriarch, and friend; and a beloved resident of the Village of Palmetto Bay. His passing leaves a void, but one that his purpose-driven life inspires other to fill for the many years to come.
β€œIf I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” Like #MLKJr. and Al Dotson Sr. all our actions, great and small, can make an impact in our families, neighborhoods, communities, state, and country. Let's all do small things in a great way to lift each other up and unite our communities. #PalmettoBaysGotTalent #LiveLikeAl
