Dear Albert:
I want to thank you and the Commissioners for the opportunity you have given
me to serve the city in behalf of parks. I have enjoyed it and I would like to be considered
for another term as a member of the Parks Advisory Board, specifically in the role of
historian appointee. Having served as Chair since the board was initiated and having
helped write the legislation that created the board, I think my experience can continue to
be an asset. I have been reading more and more widely on the subject of parks and public
space and have traveled around the city and beyond looking for new ideas and ways to
implement plans to improve the city's parks.
I hope to be spending even more time during this coming year focusing on the
history of the park system and its relationship to the city's neighborhoods. Towards that
end, I am engaged in a series of oral histories focused on how use of the parks have
changed over the past half century or more.
We still have a long way to go to improve the parks but our Board, I believe, has
made a good start. We have helped oversee developments on Virginia Kay, Bicentennial
Park and Brickell Park. We have promoted the idea of creating a Master or Strategic
Plan for the parks in the coming year and now have the City Manager's support for that
notion. We have had a joint meeting with the Waterfront Board to examine ways of
planning waterfront parks.
In my opinion, the Board now should refocus our attention on redesigning
neighborhood parks to help residents instill a sense of place in the areas in which they
live. Little Havana and Little Haiti are in desperate need of parks and that poses a
significant challenge for us.
I want to thank you for all your honesty and leadership in a difficult job. I will
attach a copy of my'resume for the consideration of the Commissioners.
