OUR ISLAND PARADISE 8 Resident Survey Highlights Key Biscayne is a clean, safe, family-friendly village with a small community atmosphere, access to great parks and nature, excellent arts and cultural activities, good schools and a focus on youth and recreation. Located on a barrier island just miles from Miami, the Village is nestled between two active and beautiful parks, the Atlantic Ocean, and Biscayne Bay. Residents enjoy an intimate island life with proximity to nature, schools, city cultural and arts activities, and various transportation options. Because of the community’s economic well-being, the Village operates at a high level even with the lowest overlapping milage rate in Miami-Dade County. Positive stewardship maximizes revenues, optimizes expenditures, and retains low debt service and comfortable emergency and general reserves. Knowing that a small island community cannot thrive by itself, the Village actively engages and cooperates with community organizations and its residents while prioritizing strong relationships with multiple partner agencies and our elected officials at the local, state and federal level. As a full-service municipal government with exceptional fire rescue and police capabilities, the Village offers a wide range of quality government services to its residents. Prioritizing its residents first, the Village ensures quality facilities, building and parks along with engaging community programs and events. 16
