30-a beach looks like tent city

wrobert, what do the State Statutes say about littering on the beach?

Seems to me that much of this crap is nothing more than litter. Do I need to call a deputy to report every piece of litter I see on the beach, before disposing of it? Maybe we should all start doing that, so that action is immediately taken.

New procedure that is going for approval to the BCC is

Take a look. Has some really good possibilities. Some of it will require quite a bit more work on the part of the county, but should go a long way toward keeping the beaches clean. It appears that they have incorporated some ideas discussed here.

Where is the money coming from to pay the "beach ambassador," to print up the brochures and promotional items they will be handing out (that will just be more trash IMO), staff & organize the reclaim office, buy and fuel this ridonkulous $12K Gator vehicle etc.?

And how is one ambassador supposed to cover the entire beach and alert Code Enforcement of violating items?

I do like that people will have 48 hour to claim their items, but I propose that we sell or donate items after that time, not "dispose" of them.

Interesting that they specifically mention volleyball nets, huh? :roll:

Yes it is INTERESTING - and will be challenged in court. The other suit is still in deposition.

Meadows has hired a criminal attorney to defend the action filed against her.

They do mention volleyball nets which are "bundled and stored at the foot of the dune," but that doesn't sound like you will be able to keep one on semi-permanent posts in the ground.

I think the new procedure has merit and will work if consistently applied. Consistent, meaning that it will take effort and resolve and not caving it when the first encounter results in all the reasons why "I/Me" is entitled to leave stuff. I wish there was a way to charge a small fee to reclaim your stuff and if unclaimed, caring and sharing or a public auction at the start of the season. That may help pay for a few brochures and some gas for the gator...

This still has the issue with private vs public property. It also turns the CE people into garbage collectors at 50,000 per year. They also do not have the staff to do this and handle all of the other complaints. Gonna be a hoot to watch them try.

Why are you so bitter? Your post is mean spirited, imo.

The real hoot will be watching that volleyball net come on down.
