SJ - Sorry to say, my DSL line has been intermittent for the last 3 days and I just read your message. I would have attended if I'd seen it yesterday.
Did you go? How about a summary of what went down.

It's still going on right now, but SJ is here so I will let him fill everyone in later. My head hurts.

I feel for you. The first agenda item about did me in. It was lovely to see you, though.

Actually, steeleing1, the first agenda item took up two hours, and was ending when you arrived. Just be glad you didn't also have to sit through it. I've been thinking about setting up an illegal Grilled Cheese table in the parking lot for these all-dayers.
TreeFrog, enforcement is covered in existing Code. The language in the link above was slightly tweeked, but mostly remains the same. They removed the part about bringing permits from the FLDEP, et al, noting that the County doesn't want to be enforcing State stuff. They used the example of driving on the beach. Getting a driving permit, the County expects that the State will enforce the basics such as driver's license, insurance, etc. Other than that change, it mostly remains the same.
Many people in attendance were in favor of the ordinance and there were about three who spoke against it.

Good to see you too. Sorry I didn't get a chance to come get a hug but if I would have gotten up I would have likely ended up on the floor.
Yours wasn't the only one! (good to see you, btw)

I'll set up a lemonade stand to go with it.
Then again, I probably won't since my typical m.o. is :leaving: when I am done.

I'm not waiting around after the end of the mtg to sell grilled cheeses. I'd make them available prior starting around 3:30pm and reopen the table during the breaks. You know that Larry Jones would be all about it! Might need to add some ham to go with his.

take your stuff
I love the new ordinance. We live on Scenic 98 and I take my kids to clean up the beach early Sunday morning. I will start going on Saturday night. The visitors get really cranky when you are taking away their crap and they can see you. My kids (5 year olds) and I spend hours cleaning up our beaches so that we can all enjoy and they complain that they don't want to take their stuff in every night. God help the lazy people of this world. What are they teaching their children. I could go on and on....but I won't.
