GAZETTE JUNE 2019
Message from the Town Manager This past winter served as a reminder as to why we live in South Florida. While much of the country bundled up during a seemingly long winter season; in Surfside, we enjoyed the sun and beach. With tropical weather year-round, however, it is easy to forget the risks that we potentially face, which is why this month we want to remind Surfsiders that hurricane season is officially here. On Tuesday, June 4, the Surfside Police Department invites residents and local business owners to attend a Hurricane Preparedness Meeting at 6 pm at Town Hall. The meeting will include valuable information on hurricane safety, such as evacuation routes, important contact information and tips to keep your home and your loved ones safe. To further ensure safety, we encourage all residents to sign up for Town notifications. Surfside regularly shares important updates pertaining to the community, whether it is a forthcoming storm, a traffic alert or an event. Visit the “Receive Town Notifications” section of the website to sign up today. Save the date for the next Beach Renourishment Community Meeting, which is scheduled for Thursday, June 6 at 6 pm in Town Hall. Representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Miami-Dade County, and the awarded construction company will be present to help answer questions relating to this Project. Additionally, the Town of Surfside is conducting a Resident Satisfaction Survey. To learn how to participate, please refer to page 9. Stay safe and have a great summer! - Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager
