MARCO ILAND YACHT CLUB REQUEST FOR DOCK APPROVAL SHOULD BE DENIED.SLIPS ARE NOT IN DEMAND DUE TO THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. IF THEY ARE BUILT THEY WILL GIVE A GHOST LIKE LOOK TO THE CLUB AND THE CITY BECAUSE THEY WILL BE VACANT.BESIDES I'LL BET THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, IF ONE EXISTS, WILL NOT SHOW ANY ACTIVITY FOR AT LEAST 4-5 YEARS.ASK THE CLUB REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT THIS.
AS A CHARTER MEMBER OF THE YACHT CLUB, I FIND IT TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE FOR THE CLUB TO PURSUE THIS PROJECT. THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES FACING THE CLUB WILL MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE MARINA TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND MAINTAINED, AS EVIDENCED BY RUDI LANWAARD'S COMMENT, "Basically, with 39 (slips) we can hopefully in about 10 years break even,” Landwaard said of the new plans." CURRENTLY THE YACHT CLUB IS NOT IN A POSITION TO UNDERTAKE A PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
THOSE COUNCILORS THAT OPPOSE TAX REFORM ARE NOT TRULY REPRESENTING THE CITIZENS / TAXPAYORS OF MARCO ISLAND. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDAS REPRESENTING THEIR OWN SELF INTERESTS WHICH ARE NOT COINCIDENTAL WITH THE TAXPAYORS ON MARCO.
