Honorable Mayor,
Fellow Commissioners:
During my campaign I was in contact with c-tizens that normally
have very little dealings with City Hall.Most of them shared
several concerns that demand a quick response. Crime, of course,
is our main worry, but in order to tackle that problem we need
a coordinated effort of City, County, State and Federal agencies
and departments.
One problem that the City can handle, and one that I promised
the people would be of top priority, is making the city as clean
as possible.
There are three areas I would like to look into:
1.- Using funds from the private segment we would like to take
the first steps to start a public relations campaign for the
purpose of educating the citizens, especially the new arrivals
in the community, in the ways of proper way of garbage, litter
and trash control and prevention. The Inter American Chamber
of Commerce and the Bilingual Private Schools Association has
volunteered their services and resources to take the first steps
in this campaign.
2.- Due to the many complaints we have received, I would like
for the City Manager to contact the proper department and find
out why we have this problem and why it's and how we can correct
it. This is mostly evident in the low income areas and in the
inner city.
3.- In conjuction with the above items, I would like to set aside
a day in January of next year with the intent on making a
proclamation for a CLEAN-UP DAY. This effort would be a public
service campaign, and we would call on thousands of students
to participate by distributing literature and helping to carry
the message that we want clean streets, free of garbage and
trash in all the neighborhoods of Miami.
Thank you.
