Dear Residents and Neighbors
By Mayor Norman S. Edelcup

The year 2005 is going to be a historic year of progress for your City. During the weekend of January 21, 22, 23 we moved into our new Sunny Isles Beach Government Center. This event marks the establishment or our new permanent home for all of our City operations. The building will house the David Samson Commission Chambers and also house the new U.S. Post Office facilities. In April the Miami-Dade County Library will open its 7,000 square foot branch in this beautiful building.

In order to formally recognize this occasion we are having a “Grand Open House” ceremony on Friday, February 25th at 2:00 p.m. In addition to ribbon cutting ceremonies, we will provide conducted tours of the Government Center for all our attending residents and dignitaries. Please plan to come to this festive occasion so that I can personally welcome you into our new City Hall. I look forward to seeing you.

I hope that by this time, you are all enjoying our new City buses and taking advantage of traveling on these new vehicles that now run 7 days a week over an expanded route. Also, I hope that you are using them for the special entertainment and cultural events sponsored by our City throughout the year.

Additionally, during the year, you will see progress made in developing two new parks and recreational facilities in Sunny Isles Beach. The Town Center Park at 172nd and Collins and the Active Park on 182nd and North Bay Road will both be under construction in 2005. The Commission and City Staff continue to improve the quality of life in Sunny Isles Beach with amenities that you have requested and I am dedicated to continue to make our City better each and every year.

Best wishes and good health to all of you in this New Year. I look forward to visiting with all of you either here at City Hall or on the street of our great community.
