Here's a small logo for you. The large one is letter sized, and too large to upload to SoWal.com

Okay what is it that I am suppose to be looking for. I hate the county website. They do some of the silliest things I have ever seen. I do not see how to look up an ordinance by number, but I figured it out by doing an advanced search, but it has to fit within a fixed window, so I have to cut and paste the url to another window. They also refer you to municode.com for ordinances which require you read page upon page of information to find anything. The county should focus group their website. It is ridiculously hard and I spend my life on the internet. I do not know how average people do anything.

The sign at the foot of the bridge was not taken down by the TDC, but was ran over druing the night...bu what seems a fairly large truck. The TDC had it removed before too many saw it that morning! One down...hoepfully they do soemthing with the rest of them before someone takes them down too!

Re: Big Blue Sign Removal Information Thread
There was a particular issue that our neighborhood was interested in, and there were many Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners meetings regarding this issue. Most of us aren't full-time residents and weren't able to attend all of the meetings. So we organized an email campaign that was very effective. It was clear that the commissioners had read our emails because they quoted parts of them at their meetings.
So if you can't attend the meeting, email the TDC members. Their email addresses are at http://www.partners.beachesofsouthwalton.com/abouttdc/staff_council_info.aspx under "TDC Council Members" (there are nine of them).
I'd suggest sending the emails at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Also whatever you send is public record, so it would be a good idea to give rational and well-thought-out arguments. In particular, one can disagree with their decision to put up these signs without attacking them personally and making derogatory statements towards the council members themselves.
