GAZETTE MARCH 2019
Message from the Town Manager Springtime is upon us and so too are a series of initiatives and programs benefiting our community. We invite you to tune into Surfside’s local TV Channel 93. The station has been revamped with modern, exciting and resident-centered content, including a Surfside 7 segment which highlights top happenings each month. Watch Channel 93 (Atlantic Broadband) on your television or view it online on the Town website. Channel 93 also regularly broadcasts Town Commission meetings, as well as other meetings (more on page 3). Last month, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a Beach Renourishment Community Meeting at Town Hall to inform residents about this monumental project which is slated to start this summer. For the latest project updates, check out the Town website or refer to our monthly Surf’s Up Corner on page 3. In search of ways to keep your children physically and mentally active over spring break? Enroll them in the Surfside Spring Adventure Camp. It takes place from March 25-29 and includes paddle boarding, arts and crafts, cooking, surfing and more. For registration, visit the Community Center or call (305) 866-3635. Meanwhile, for additional news and events, be sure to refer to the Town website, the Gazette, Channel 93 or sign up online for email notifications. There is no shortage of things to do in Surfside. See you around town! - Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager
Tree City USA for the Third Consecutive Year For the third year, the Town of Surfside has been designated a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. The designation shows Surfside’s commitment in managing trees on public land and increasing the Town’s important tree canopy. Thanks goes to the Public Works Department for its dedicated efforts to meet the standards of Tree City USA recognition.
