MESSAGE FROM MAYOR WAYNE M. MESSAM Hello Miramarians! Happy Holidays Miramarians! First Lady Angela and I wish everyone Seasons Greetings. The Holiday Season is one of our favorite times of year in the city. It is when we celebrate our religious and cultural traditions and there is nothing better than visiting or hosting family and friends during this season. One of the benefits of living in Miramar is that there is always something to do. The City of Miramar has a number of events during this month and I invite you all to participate. The Miramar Cultural Center will have a number of productions this year including Ballet Etudes’ The Nutcracker, hopefully you will be able to attend. Here’s a link to the Center’s Season, it is a wonderful place to help bring in the Holiday Season, MiramarCulturalCenter.org I also would like to provide a summary of our city’s accomplishments as presented during my annual State of the City Address. Miramar’s economy continues to strive. Did you know our city’s unemployment rate is only 3.7%? Did you know that over 1600 jobs averaging $70,000 per year are coming to our city? Pretty amazing when you consider it was only a few years ago cities across the nation struggled to jumpstart their economies after the recession. I am happy to announce that not only has Miramar recovered but we are adding high paying jobs due to, for example, the arrival of Canada’s largest pharmaceutical company Apotex. Their US headquarters will be right here in Miramar investing over $185 Million. Adding to our progress are our continued property valuations. For the third year in a row, Miramar has averaged 8% or higher in property value appreciation. What this means is that Miramar remains attractive for businesses and our homes are in high demand. So, as we celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and other cultural events during the holidays, let’s give thanks for our blessings and our successes. Our neighbors in the Caribbean and in this state are still suffering from this past hurricane season. The holidays will be different for them this year. Let us all keep them in our prayers and send help whenever you can. It could have been Miramar but for Grace we were spared and for that I give thanks. In Service, Mayor Wayne M. Messam

MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER YVETTE COLBOURNE Hello Miramar Residents, It has been a very busy 2017 for the city of Miramar. We are closing out the year with many accomplishments. Some of our accomplishments that I am very proud of are: We Kept the millage rate flat which kept your city taxes low. We Continued to improve our Transportation and infrastructure systems. Our persistent drive to promote diversity and inclusion led to a resolution proclaiming June as Muslims American Heritage month and August as Indian American Heritage month and we passed legislation in support of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. City of Miramar Commissioner 2300 Civic Center Pl,

In the spirit of economic development, we approved funding for the renovation and beautification of the B & M shopping plaza.

Miramar, FL 33025 Office: 954-602-3131 Cell: 954-560-5161 Ycolbourne@miramarfl.gov

Despite the many inconveniences caused by the Hurricane Irma, I am happy to say that almost every resident has recovered from the storm. Thankfully, just 6 weeks after the storm we were able to kick off the holiday season with our annual Halloween celebration at River Run Park followed by distribution of turkeys the week of Thanksgiving. As we take time to show gratitude and appreciation with our family and friends, I want to wish all of you a happy, healthy, safe holiday season and prosperous New Year.

MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER MAXWELL B. CHAMBERS Dear Residents, I hope that everyone is well on their way to recovering from Hurricane Irma and the children have adjusted to being back in school. Already this school year, I have been providing support at several of the Miramar schools and volunteer as often as I can. During the last several months, I have been meeting with residents, hosted a Harvest Drive initiative, supported a holiday party for local Soldiers and their families and gave away turkeys to Miramar residents. In December, I will be hosting a 2nd Building Healthy Military Communities Focus Group as well as partnering on community toy drives. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays! My wish for you is that you enjoy these upcoming holidays with your family, friends and those who are most precious to you. Sincerely,

Commissioner Maxwell B. Chambers

MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER DARLINE B. RIGGS Dear Neighbor, I trust that your Thanksgiving was filled with love, friendship, and family. I believe being thankful for the little blessings allows us to appreciate and be grateful for the bigger ones. The year 2018 is quickly approaching, and I am excited to share what we have in store for the City of Miramar in the New Year. City Staff and I have been working diligently to create ways to revitalize Historic Miramar through Code Compliance Changes, Beautification Programs, Art in public places, Small Business Grants, and many more. These changes may not all happen overnight, nevertheless they are the first steps to transforming Historic Miramar. I pray that you remain safe throughout the Christmas Holidays and prepare for another exciting year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your family, and remember we will continue to make your priorities our priority. Sincerely, Commissioner Darline B. Riggs
