On Carmen's Performance
“On her first day as Interim City Manager, I wrote down… all the different projects… that the Commission had really been pushing for a long time… and over the last meeting you passed that piece of paper back to me… and all of the projects either got accomplished or were moving.”
Commissioner Frank Quesada, 12/16/14
“I would like to personally and truly thank Carmen… for moving the number of projects that we have moved over these last 6 months forward… She has done a great job.”
Commissioner Patricia Keon, 12/16/14
“We could not have been successful without such a highly qualified and dedicated city professional like Ms. Olazabal.”
Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, 6/5/12
“You probably made more progress in the last six months than we have seen in a long time around here and I commend you for that.”
Commissioner Bill Kerdyk, 5/10/11
“Carmen is a great candidate for Coral Gables Commission. She has the commitment, experience, and integrity to be a great asset to the City.”
