To all Palmetto Bay Residents,
As of today March 23, 2020 there are 1171 reported cases of the
coronavirus in the State of Florida with 21% here in Miami-Dade county.
Closer to home, I am sad to report the first two confirmed cases
within the Village of Palmetto Bay (none in Pinecrest or Cutler Bay). It is
time for action, not platitudes and certainly not an attempt at self-relevance.
Therefore, I propose having our park closures strictly enforced by using our
idle park employees turning our patrons away and doing so in protective masks
and gloves and by practicing social distancing while on duty.
This in turn will free up our police officers to patrol our
village.
I also propose having our code officers individually doing
wellness checks on local offices to ensure they are following County mandated
emergency ordinances on closure.
I ask all residents to strictly follow CDC guidelines, keep safe
distances and stay patient and together we will overcome this fight against
this virus, stay strong Palmetto Bay.
Together we will get through this Unprecedented situation.
Please stay healthy and safe.

Thank you Council Member Singer for getting out actual numbers,
warnings and being the point member for action during this pandemic. I
appreciate your forward thinking use of staffers to keep Palmetto Bay safe. I
do have some follow up requests to Council Member Singer:
·
While protecting
identity, is there any information available that may allow other residents to
determine if there is any need to be tested or increase self-isolation from
elderly or otherwise at risk family members?
·
Can we eliminate these
2 cases from any participation, exposure (primary or secondary) at the Village
Picnic. While it was early, this event was not cancelled and there were
significant food and other lines where there was no 6 foot social distance
buffer.
