Message from the Village Manager

New at the Helmon february 12, 2012, John C. Gilbert was appointed as the new village manager as well as emergency manager for the Village of Key biscayne. His message below highlights some of his short- and long-term goals for this position.

Dear Islanders:

For more than 18 years, you have witnessed my long-standing commitment to public service, proudly serving as the Village’s fire chief, acting public works director, public safety director, and most recently, as interim village manager.

As the newly appointed village manager, I promise to maintain that high level of dedication to ensure residents continue to reap the benefits of first-rate services and quality programs available to all who live here.

One of my first priorities as village manager is to complete the permitting process for the ongoing Beach Restoration Project, which is addressing the erosion of the Key Biscayne shoreline. We have received a Class 1 permit from the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commis-sioners and are currently working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to finalize certain technical aspects of this project, such as trucking sand from the center part of the state and depositing it here on our beach. I am hopeful this process will commence in mid-May and last no more than 45 days, so that our beach will be ready for the busy summer season.

Based on some discussions that took place by Coun-cil during the last budget process when I was interim manager, I have been examining some cost-effective ways of providing services, which will include some restructur-ing. The new fire chief has a plan to restructure the Fire Department, using the existing number of personnel he has assigned. I am looking at restructuring the Public Works Department so that it becomes a division under the Building, Zoning and Planning Department. I also am con-sidering replacing the public works director position with

a public works superintendent, who will be required to spend a large percentage of his/her time out in the streets of our community. Under the direction of the current Village Council—a process that began under the previous village manager—plans are in the works to expand the Finance Department to include the hiring of a finance director as well as continuing with the positions of an accountant and payroll clerk.

Keeping our young people engaged in sports requires enough open, green space to allow such athletics programs to flourish. As you may know, restrictions are currently in place that limit the use of the playing fields in Crandon Park, so that by mid-year 2013, no real green space will be left within our community for use as regulation-sized playing fields.

One of my long-range goals as village manager is to identify viable playing field alternatives. We are currently researching three locations off the Key, located within the Rickenbacker Causeway area, which would pick up the overflow from the loss of the Crandon Park fields. We will continue to look at these and other viable options as they come up, with the ultimate goal of keeping our young athletes engaged in sports and other worthwhile outdoor activities.

These are just some of the many priorities I will be focusing on in the coming months. I will continue to work diligently for residents and leverage my existing relation-ships—both on the Key and across the Causeway—to expedite matters. Together, we will continue to improve this world-class community.

Team Key Aquatics

If you love swimming and are willing to work hard to improve on the skills necessary to take your water polo game to the next level, then Team Key Aquatics (TKA) is definitely for you. TKA is a dynamic aquatic program dedicated to the future of its athletes. In addition to having fun, coaches strive to develop athletes through fundamen-tal swimming and water polo skills that will maximize their potential. TKA will further strengthen each swimmer’s ath-letic arsenal by preparing him or her for their high school swimming and water polo seasons. One of the many goals at TKA is to give its young athletes the tools and skills nec-essary to successfully compete at the high school level.

TKa swimfitTKA has introduced a method of training that will allow every athlete to reach his or her prime fitness level. Seam-lessly mixing aquatic training with dry-land exercises, TKA coaches will train their athletes in the art of balancing swim stroke training and dry-land workouts. Swimfit is a conditioning program that mixes swim stroke training, swimming sprints, running sprints, pushups, pull ups, sit ups, squats, lunges and other functional movements. The more muscles you work, the more calories you burn. The group workouts are short, highly intense and constantly changing, making them fun, yet challenging. Our goal as coaches is to make our athletes functionally fit.

TKa water PoloIf you’re looking for a complete workout while having a blast with friends, the Water Polo Crew is for you! Water polo is an intense sport that pushes your body to the limits—you’ll be swimming constantly. It’s a combination of swimming, soccer, basketball and rugby—all rolled into one. Even if you’re a strong swimmer, your agility, coordination, speed, power and endurance will improve here. The best part about water polo is that it’s a team sport, so your friends can be a part of the fun too! All levels are welcome.
