As the Mayor of Miami and on behalf of the citizens, elected officials, and staff, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Miami's web site. It is our earnest desire that you find our web site beneficial when seeking information about the many public services offered by the City. Miami is considered a full-service community, providing police and fire protection, recreation, street maintenance, and public utilities (i.e. water, sewer and electric).  If you are planning to relocate to Miami, please (click here) for information to help you in this process.

During your search on our web site, if there are questions you have that may not be addressed, please feel free to contact the City staff through their links or contact me via email and I will be glad to address your questions or concerns as promptly as possible. 

Our City has gone through several positive changes in the past few years. One change is our new form of City government which took effect January 1, 2001. In November of 2000, the citizens of Miami voted overwhelmingly (73%) in favor of this change to amend the City charter and create a council-manager form of government. We now have a City manager who oversees the day-to-day operations of the City, leaving the governing body time to work on the development of sound public policies, a long-range plan, capital infrastructure improvements, a parks and recreation program, and economic development for the city. The number one goal of the new City council is the creation of a "road map" for Miami's future. Once finished with the plan, we will proceed toward our final destination of sound and efficient local government for all citizens and long-term economic prosperity. Our new philosophy is "Miami Moving Forward."

I think you will find Miami to be a very interesting and exciting city. We believe the City of Miami offers a high quality of life. We also boast its diversity; from the lake area to the nine Indian cultures. We are proud to be a community "on the move." You will find new growth in industry, home development, and an ideal location for retirement.

Again, I would like to welcome you to our progressive city with small town values and big city ideas.
