As the first Council member of Cutler Bay, Peggy Bell has served our town for the past four years. She was raised in Northern California and after college relocated to Florida where she worked for Eastern Airlines. Here she met her husband Martin. They have been married for thirty years and have a teenage son, Jamie. A former PTA president and 4H leader, Peggy is a Florida Realtor and works as office manager for Bell's Tree Nursery, a family-owned company. In her spare time she enjoys boating, fishing, camping and traveling.
Peggy has been a long-time community activist and sits on several boards. She was instrumental in defeating Enron Corporation's attempt to build a power plant next to Cutler Bay.
Serving as secretary she was a founding member of the Cutler Ridge Area Steering Committee, an organization that for seven years researched the feasibility of, and ultimately promoted, incorporation. She co-founded United Citizens of Cutler Bay.
During her term as a public servant, she vows to make town government streamlined, efficient and to keeping taxes as low as possible. Her special concerns are managing growth, thereby allowing for as much park land and open spaces as possible. She has advocated to promote local businesses and through excellent police service, to provide a safe environment for all our residents. Peggy has served as Council Liaison on several citizen advisory committees, including Parks and Recreation, which is still fully active.
Ms. Bell states she is honored to serve the town of Cutler Bay and looks forward to continue working towards improving the quality of life for its residents, while celebrating its small town feeling.
