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.”
