Managers Report
The Million Orchid Project took place at Dante Fascell Park on Friday, July 25 th at
9:30 AM and the Mayor was in attendance at that event.
Board of County Commissioners (BCe) approved the FY 2017 Action Plan
Funding Recommendations, which approved our application for R-762-17 our
Senior Meals Program Public Service from CDBG funds in the amount of
$25,215.
Congratulations are in order for Lieutenant Jesus Aguiar for completing the
Southern Police Institutes' 78 th Command Officers Development Course. Taking
this multi week program for command level Officers, required Lt. Aguiar to spread
his duties every two weeks between his responsibilities here at the City and then
two weeks working through this strenuous program at the college. Not only did
he complete this program of instruction that required numerous reports and joint
projects all dealing with law enforcement topics, but Lt. Aguiar completed the
program with the second highest grade point average in his class.
Congratulations to Lt. Aguiar for all the hard work and for making our Police
Department look good!
The New fence installation at Dante Fascell Park is in progress. It is mostly
complete except for along Red Rd as we needed to remove some of the strangler
figs along its route.
The new shuttle service is ready for commencement. We need to determine a
date for a ribbon cutting ceremony. Staff has identified Monday the t h of August
at 11 am at City Hall but this date is flexible to ensure the participation of the full
City Commission.
