CITY MANAGER  JORGE M. GONZALEZ

Response to Recent Employee Misconduct

Since August 21, 2000, I have had the honor of serving as the City Manager of what is no doubt one of the most exciting and dynamic cities in the world. As the City Manager, and as a resident, I am committed to ensuring that our government and our staff of dedicated professionals are providing efficient and effective services to meet the needs of our residents, businesses and visitors. 

During my tenure, I have made it a priority to ensure that the City achieves its strategic vision by implementing programs and initiatives that have: made us cleaner and safer; made our community more beautiful and vibrant, while embracing our unique history; established us as a cultural, entertainment and tourism capital; promoted our community as an innovative place for business; improved our infrastructure - a challenge in such a dense and active environment; and created the framework to sustain this vision long-term. 

For those of you who currently live here, thank you for choosing to make this wonderful place your home. I encourage you to become involved and engaged in this community - and to tell us how we are doing, either during our Community Satisfaction Surveys, or by contacting us. Our businesses are important to us. We work hard every day to improve our processes so that you can continue to serve our residents and our many visitors. And if you are visiting or plan to visit Miami Beach - a warm welcome from the City that is 25/7. There is so much to do, you'll need an extra hour!

Sincerely,

Jorge M. Gonzalez
