Written on Legislation, Island sentiments may sink Marco’s involvement in anchoring regulations :

let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be...whispered words of wisdom...let it be e e e.

Written on Anchoring debate to resurface on Marco?:

A productive idea...Under present laws, what conditions need to exist before the police can make a boater move?

I would guess waste in the water, be it sewage or trash. Leaky tanks of any kind. Noise or other distractions. Boat not in navigation. Boat abandoned. If that were clearer then citizen complaints would be on target and the police would have lots of eyes and ears.

In reality what we want to do is encourage the transient yacht dwellers and discourage squatters.

Written on Anchoring debate to resurface on Marco?:

Who is setting the priorities here...first of all the ORIGINAL proposal by the police department, which also may not be legal, gave them the right to chase people off after two weeks...plenty of time for someone to have a nice visit on their way to/from the Carribean.

The three day not in my back yard deal was dead meat when it was passed.

The courts have decided this already.

Spend your time on something productive city manager.

If there ever becomes a problem there will be ways to deal with it.

Written on Letter To The Editor: Condos should be rewarded for efficiency:

Another idea...cancel the base fee for everyone and cover the costs through the usage. As a portion of the actual usage the issue disapears! Poof!

Magic!

Written on Letter To The Editor: Rates seem fair:

By George...I think you are on to something.

Written on Marco electric users won’t get their $1 million refund :

This is so simple. The electric company knows exactly what they charged each owner in tax. Give the money back to them and ask them to credit each unit that paid the fee. This will simply reduce next months electric bill. This includes the hotels...why try to fleece them, they were just as much a victim as any other stakeholder on the island.

Do the right thing.

Written on Least expensive Smokehouse Bay Bridge proposal may not be residents’ favorite :

Condoseller might be onto something. 18 months ago I stopped by the Winterberry Bridge and had a chat with a contractor to get a sense of when new bridge would be completed. I did not follow it up, because it could have been just chit chat, and that still may be the case...but he volunteered that he had just torn down a perfectly good bridge.

Council should take another hard look at this project and be sure of what they are doing...if you remember the sewer project, getting the population irritated can be disasterous on Mark-up Island.

Written on Dog bite takes a chunk of faith away from Capri family:

Many towns have a fenced area where the dogs can be dogs and run...fenced the operative word.

Written on Software to add efficiency to Marco's code enforcement and permitting :

Since it saves so much time, what is the headcount reduction?
