North Bay Village Residents Are Up In Arms!!!!

Treasure Island Neighborhood Association held their first meeting on March 27, 2013 @ 7:30 pm.   Mr. Barry Smith of Trio was gracious to allow us to meet in his beautiful Trio restaurant.  The residents of Treasure Island voiced their disappointment and disillusion on the performance of our Commission, Village Manager and our Chief of Police.  Our residents are up in arms and ready to take action to demand from our elected officials more than just lip service.  Yesterday was a great day for North Bay Village and the ability of our residents to organize a movement was very evident.

Our Streets are dirty and unsafe, the residents are saying: enough is enough. The Police Department is 67% of our budget and doing a lousy job. We have good police officers in North Bay Village just an incompetent leader that cannot get the job done with the resources available.

According to a reliable source and the Village Memorandum posted on the website for a special meeting on Monday April first our Village Manager’s days are numbered.   Please attend this very important meeting and help shape the future of North Bay Village. We have a lot of work ahead of us and have no one to blame if we do not participate in the process.  TINA will be a force that needs to be reckoning with!!!!  

Our next Village Manger should have all the credentials and experience to get the job done. North Bay Village deserves nothing less. We should consider hiring a head hunter to search high and low for the best candidate. Furthermore, if the candidate comes from within North Bay Village he or she should have an advantage over the others by 10 points. We cannot afford another hiring mistake. Let us show the door to those that will not do their job.

Humbly opinionating,

Mario Garcia
