GAZETTE MAY 2019
Message from the Town Manager What kind of community do you want to live in? Mayor Dietch recently presented this question to residents at a Town Commission meeting and at Mayor’s Town Hall meeting held in March. In an effort to find the answer, we will be conducting a Residential Satisfaction Survey and strongly encourage all residents to participate. Stay tuned! The Town of Surfside remains committed to continually enhancing residents’ quality of life through the provision of top-notch services, including five days a week trash collection, free security assessments from the Police Department, ongoing community events, complimentary access to the oceanfront Community Center, enriching programs and much more. By comparison, there are very few cities in Miami-Dade County that provide the robust services that we do in Surfside. That being said, we acknowledge that there are ways for us to still further improve, which is why we want to hear from you. As a reminder, this month is the start of sea turtle nesting season. Surfsiders are passionate about the sea turtles, and with good reason. These unique creatures bring extra charm to our shores. As wonderful as they are, they are also living in a delicate environment. It is important that we do our part to protect them. Save the date for Surfside’s annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 27 at 10 am in Veterans Park. At this annual event we honor the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country, in addition to active duty members. See you around Town! - Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager
