City ManagerCITY MANAGER'S MESSAGE

It’s amazing how far we have come, growing from a small bedroom community to a thriving city.  Through carefully planned growth and new residential opportunities, we attracted employment centers, corporate parks, universities, a major hospital, restaurants, retail centers, and first class parks with recreational opportunities for all.  As of April 1, 2007, our residential population is at 111,705. This makes Miramar the 15th largest city in the State and the 5th largest city in Broward County.  And with that growth, we have maintained and improved the quality of life for our residents as proven by Money magazine’s recognition of Miramar on its list of “Top 100 Places to Live.” 
One of my pledges to you a few years ago was to streamline government in order to accommodate the unprecedented level of economic development and growth we predicted to happen. Since then we've worked to make it leaner and more efficient, as well as friendlier and focused on customer service. As a result, Miramar has been changing… on the outside and the inside.
From the Cultural Arts Center, to the Miramar Regional Park, to the Broward County Regional Library, to the Miramar Youth Enrichment Center, to the state of the art fire-rescue stations, and the Miramar Regional Multi Service Complex (former City Hall), the City of Miramar's investment in the future of assuring a higher quality of life for all of its residents is coming to reality.  Today, Miramar is recognized as a dynamic and innovative City conducive for business and committed to the families who call it home.
Look around and you'll agree that Miramar is getting better every day.
Integral to our success is the participation of our residents in taking on active roles in community activities and civic affairs. We encourage everyone to attend City Commission meetings and City events. We look forward to your questions and look forward to everyone being more involved.
With your help, Miramar - the City "at the Center of Everything" can become the model city that other cities wish to be.  And that's a goal well worth working toward.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Payton
