MIAMI-DADE COMMISSIONER


To the Investment Community:

On November 28, 2006, I was honored by my colleagues to be selected to serve as Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners for the next two years. It is with great enthusiasm and dedication, that I have accepted this opportunity to serve our diverse community.  I look forward to leading the Commission through the challenges that lay ahead.

It is my role to lead the Board in setting policy, adopting comprehensive plans, and formulating a yearly budget for all of Miami-Dade County.  The Board supported my initiative to expand our Commission structure and create an additional Committee to better address growing concerns in our community. The Committee structure and assignments were prepared after obtaining input from every Commissioner and after receiving their written input on their desire to engage in specific areas of jurisdiction, as well as their involvement within Committees that paralleled their areas of interest.

My priorities as Chairman comprise:

• Responsible growth to preserve the land for our children and many generations to come by carefully managing our Urban Development Boundary to ensure that we can have enough land to provide housing, parks, schools and other structures needed to support a community.
• A comprehensive transportation plan to bring traffic relief to the area, thereby making our County more environmentally friendly while improving the ability of our residents to access all their transportation needs.
• Affordable housing by bringing increased oversight and strict accountability to this area of government in order to ensure that our resources reach their intended targets.
• Improvement on the delivery of County services utilizing technology more effective and efficiently as we provide services to our residents.

I hope that these initiatives reap the rewards of gaining your confidence to continue investing in Miami-Dade County.

I take this opportunity to congratulate the staff at the Finance Department for the painstaking care taken in the preparation of this Annual Report to Bondholders.

Sincerely,

 

Bruno A. Barreiro
Chairman
Board of County Commissioners
