T OWN OF J UPITER
2010 ANNUAL REPORT AND 2011 PREVIEW
2010 continued to present economic challenges for Jupiter’s businesses and
residents, and as we reach build-out, our challenges are shifting from managing
new growth to creating economic growth and managing redevelopment.
Moving from
Growth to Creating
Economic Opportunity
Members of the Jupiter Town Council
Mayor Karen Golonka,
Vice Mayor Wendy Harrison,
Councilor Robert Friedman,
Councilor Jim Kuretski, and
Councilor Todd Wodraska
Balancing the core elements of our vision – being a coastal community with small-
town values – with the challenge of creating economic opportunity, places us in
new territory. Our vision will always chart our course, but must also provide us with
the wide-angle view to take our community where it needs to go. We strive to be
a livable community with a variety of housing types, job opportunities, recreation
and leisure activities to maintain a high quality of life, without losing focus on our
history, heritage, and values.
The Town’s organization has changed and contracted in the last three years in
order to support the vision and its application to our changing environment. In
some cases, activities have been combined for greater effi ciency, and in other
cases programs have been added to meet new needs. In all cases, despite a
15% reduction in overall staffi ng for the Town, we have maintained service levels
and achieved greater effi ciencies in how those services are delivered.
Now, as we look to the future, we will continue to evolve the organization’s
structure to meet residents’ and businesses’ needs, even as those needs change
and adapt to the “new normal” of our economy. With a strong focus on our core
vision, and an eye on a successful future, we will continue to be “uniquely Jupiter.”
