Davie Councilmember Daniel Alfonso introduces himself, pledges neighborhood outreach
Summary
Newly sworn-in Councilmember Daniel Alfonso outlined his 23+ years in government, four years as City Manager of Miami, five years of U.S. Army service, and invited HOAs and residents in District 2 to invite him to community meetings.
Daniel Alfonso, sworn in in March as the Davie Town Council member for District 2, used his opening remarks to outline his background in municipal government, military service and higher-education administration and to invite residents and neighborhood associations to engage directly with his office.
Alfonso said he brings decades of public-sector experience to his new role. "I was sworn in as the newest member of the Davie Town Council," he said, adding later that he has "served Miami Dade County and the City Of Miami for more than 23 years" and that his last role "as City Manager for the City of Miami was a remarkable journey marked by growth and achievement over 4 years." He also noted five years of service in the U.S. Army, including tours during Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
The councilmember described his current professional role outside elected office, saying he works as "executive vice president of business services, facilities management, and public safety at Nova Southeastern University right here in Dayton," and framed family support as a motivator for public service. Alfonso said he plans active outreach to constituents: "In the coming months, I am excited to visit neighborhoods and connect with residents across District 2. If you have an HOA or a community meeting, I would be delighted to attend. Please share any invites with my office."
Alfonso's remarks were brief and introductory; he emphasized constituent access and named past experience to signal qualifications. No formal motions, votes, or policy proposals were presented during this segment of the meeting. His invitation for neighborhood meetings establishes a channel for residents to request in-person engagement with the councilmember.
