Emergency Meeting scheduled for 6:30 this evening. I will hold a town hall meeting as soon as appropriate. 7:00 AM FPL restoration numbers

As Mayor, I have called for an EMERGENCY COUNCIL MEETING - in response, The Village of Palmetto Bay shall be conducting an Emergency Special Council Meeting on Monday, September 18, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. at Village Hall, 9705 E. Hibiscus Street.

The purpose of this Emergency Special Council Meeting is to discuss the following items:

(I) any and all matters relating to impacts and restoration related to Hurricane Irma, including physical damage and loss of electrical power;

(II) any and all matters relating to flood control in the Village of Palmetto Bay.

Please join us and be part of the discussion.

FUTURE TOWN HALL MEETING  - I will host a town hall meeting (and ask my fellow council members to co-host/participate with me and/or hold additional meetings to broaden the reach). This meeting is not practical until after all areas are fully restored and residents and businesses have time to catch up from this unplanned interruption.

This town hall meeting will include discussion many of the ideas and concerns brought forward by residents, our legislative officials, our hurricane heroes and partners as well as FPL/SFWMD.  I am building a long list of discussion points, so get your ideas and concerns ready - keep track so these ideas/concerns are not lost.

I continue to thank everyone for their individual hard work, patience and teamwork.

Yours Mayor,

Eugene Flinn
