Did someone forget to tell Joe spokesman Jerry Ray about the three year build-outs? ""But there are a lot of people holding onto lots and waiting to build until they retire" ........ uhh no. And the build-outs continue to be a barrier towards moving the residential lot product.

This area does have some EVIL mosquitoes!
I don't think it's fair to be offended that an article says we have a mosquito problem when their presence is so great that we have a truck constantly spraying poisons, the area is crisscrossed with mosquito control ditches, and Mosquito Control is actually an elected position w/ a 100k+ salary.

No it is not. The director is hired by an elected board that makes significantly less than that. Even the new director is making quite a bit less than that.

WaltonGOP, how much is "quite a bit less" if it is a matter of public record.
What are the qualifications for such a position?
I swear my next job will be in government somewhere, where I can chalk up a defined benefit pension, make 75K, and work even less hard than I do now, in the i-banking fish bowl.

It was reported in the newspapers when they hired the new guy. I believe it was less than 70K but do not remember an exact number. The elected board members conducted extensive interviews and picked what I am hearing is a very qualified individual. But again, I remember reading the news story but do not remember the details.

The point of my post was that we actually HAVE mosquito control so an article saying we have a mosquito issue isn't an untruth.
Sorry if the nitpicky details were wrong - all I know is that there are elected offices in Mosquito Control and as recently as within the last 6 months one of the Mosquito Control positions paid more than 100K a year.

Lest we forget...
"CDC's origins are closely linked to malaria control activities in the US. On July 1 1946 in Atlanta, the Communicable Disease Center was created as a new component of the US Public Health Service. The new center was the direct successor of the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas, an agency established in 1942 to limit the impact of malaria and other vector borne diseases (such as murine typhus) in the southeastern US during World War II. The center was located in Atlanta (rather than Washington, DC) because the South was the area of the country with the most malaria transmission."

Love the history Chip n' Dale!
Per my high school history teacher, Washington D.C. used to be a hazardous duty posting for foreign diplomats because of the fever/malaria risk back in the day. ;-)

Just out of curiousity, who still has active build out requirements?
Joe has given two one year extensions on the build-outs but the build-outs are still there and continue to produce a great deal of uncertainty. There are a few lots without build-outs that would be suitable for people who wished to sit on the lots to build at some possible retirement time in the future, but not many and none that Joe is offering of which I am aware. If Joe decides to enforce the build-outs, retirement plans might have to be indefinitely postponed while the potential retiree digs deep to pay Joe's fines.
