County removing articles from beach?

[Interested Girl]

Sounds like Edgewater has won another one.

What is their definition of "hazard"?

Do I have to actually break a bone tripping over the crap in the dark or would some scrapes, bruises, or a sprain suffice? :angry:

What disappoints me is the lack of concern for fellow people. Stuff left for days on the beach are also often left indefinitely when they decide to go back to whereever they come from and what are they going to do with 4 beach chairs and a big bucket full of shovels and toys.
So they leave them on the beach thinking they are doing someone a favor by giving them free stuff....except nobody knows they left and soon, everything is washing in the surf.

I can't even begin to wrap my mind around the conscience some must have to quietly bury their empty beer cans or cigarette butts on the same beaches children are playing on.

I feel for the sea turtles who have to twist and turn to get around stuff...or they just give up trying....disappointed in our county also...if you say you are going to pick up stuff then do it!

Nothing good can come from this.

Is anyone in a position to get a statement from the county attorney as to why this position is being taken?

It would help us all to get this directly...

The Edgewater lawsuit over the ordinance is the cause. The ordinance is flawed.

 

[Bluznbeach]

Yes, especially considering how much they spent sending flyers to homeowners telling them to make sure all the renters knew that the county was going to remove everything (no exceptions) that was left behind on the beaches at night.

Can you elaborate on what you know about this lawsuit?

 

[Interested Girl]

Edgewater sued over removal of personal property from private property and for the order to remove a volley ball net.

The two sides mer last week in the Judges chambers concerning the basis of the suit and the counties failure to produce certain public records.
