Why would you want to report someone 'scooping tires out of the bay'?
Seems like a good thing, and that dead tree should go to.

That tree which is left standing isn't dead, but got scraped and pushed by the track hoe.Seems like a good thing, and that dead tree should go to.

Second call to code enforcement placed about 10 minutes ago. They say they don't normally go out the same day -- good to know.
As for the tree and tire question -- the tree wasn't dead this morning. Nor were several of the smaller oaks he scaped off the bank. The tires should be removed, but not using a backhoe. There are laws about the removal of tires in a way that won't cause damage to the water and the environment. It's sort of expensive, much cheaper to rent a backhoe and dredge out a substantial amount of sand and sediment from the bottom of the bay.

Evidently it helps to be able to read the future. If you had only called them yesterday before this happened. 
Glad they broke their rule about waiting a day to respond.
