2004 Florida Cities of Excellence Awards Program
Nomination of Village of Tequesta for "City Spirit Award"
Narrative:
The Village of Tequesta, "V.O.T.", was incorporated in 1957. At that time, there were
three Police Officers patrolling the streets of Tequesta. Today, there are close to 30 full-
time and part-time officers and support staff. In 1957, there were just a few hundred
residents. Now our village has grown to over 5000 residents! This tremendous growth
can be attributed to several things, including the numerous recreational and cultural
amenities found in Tequesta.
Through the years, one thing has remained true, and that is the PRIDE shared by the
residents of Tequesta. Residents, young and old, have always been proud to say that they
were or are residents of the Village of Tequesta. And to show that pride, we have
developed a specially designed decal to be displayed on your vehicle. The decal serves
many functions aside from the obvious, which is to show your pride as a resident of
Tequesta. The prominently displayed letters on the decal, V.O.T., can also be used to
assist the Tequesta Police Department in providing the best service possible by helping
them identify residents of Tequesta.
With all of the chaos and turmoil in the world today, even our quiet little Village can be
affected. But the one constant shared by all residents of the Village of Tequesta is the
sense of PRIDE. This decal is just one small way to show that PRIDE.
