Letter: Shaping up

Editor, Daily News:

Because of our Collier County commissioner, Donna Fiala, our entire East Naples neighborhood is beginning to shape up.

Fiala was instrumental and effective in bringing together 25 concerned citizens and county government employees for a meeting. Changes began to happen almost immediately. We truly are amazed at the genuine effort these employees have made to work on our issues in East Naples.

I would like to publicly thank these individuals who have put forth not only an honest endeavor but a quick response: Patti Petrulli, supervisor, Code Enforcement; Eddie Ybaceta, investigator, Code Enforcement; Mike Sheffield, assistant to the county manager; Travis Gossard, supervisor, Vegetation Management; Jamie French, manager, Regulation & Operations; Kendra Hastings, executive aide to Fiala.

We understand correction of all the issues will take time. We look forward to working with our county employees on a continuing basis. With their help, we will make East Naples a great place to live.

A side note, does the county or state have a litter law, a no loitering law or a vagrancy law in effect?

If not, why not?
