This veterans day we all are reminded that we owe thanks to those who have served and those who are serving now. To those who were called and those who volunteered, a sincere "thank you".

I've always felt that Dana Souza has done a great job for the city, and I don't want to see him leave. I think he has exhibited good knowledge of what the city manager's duties are when he was serving as interim, showed strong leadership skills, and made people accountable for their actions. By all appearances, he communicated with the council well and performed that job as well as or better than anyone else with a degree. What more could you ask for?

You are so right Mr Green. Thank you for saying that. Marco residents deserve to know what's happening in their city. Sorry if some people here don't seem to care about getting the whole story from their newspaper.

This school board needs seven people on it. It is too large a district to have only 5 members making decisions for this large of an area. Also, they should not be paid for their service. Where I come from,people do this to give back to the community, not for the pay.

Who are the proposed boat slips/docks supposed to serve? We do not need to draw more people from off the island here for their convenience so they have a
place to dock their boat. We have enough congestion on that part of our island now, and during season it is gridlock. This is our main artery on and off the
island. What about this proposal makes it in our city's interest to do? The yacht club wants to use our navigable waters in that cove area where the general public comes to fish and play, for their monetary gain. We should not support that.

If you're one of the people being affected with
health problems and you live in the areas where this
de-watering is going on I'm sorry for what you're going through. I've seen report after report that
says there are many negative health effects from it
but our city says it's ok to continue because there
is no positive proof that it is the cause. So what,
we now know about the health effects from breathing second hand smoke, but we've never had any measurable proof of that either. Older people don't
have the physical immunity to hazards like younger
people do. Why is that so hard to understand?

Time passes, people come and go,and opportunities of
change are presented to us as citizens.Ultimately,we will prescribe the future of our city. And so it is hoped that more of our voters will add their voices with their votes in our next election so we will have a council that truly represents the people. There will be many problems to be solved and tough decisions to be made, but we'll deal with it. Our next council will be on a mission to make Marco a delight to come home to and a more welcoming place for visitors. That's my vision. We can do it. It's our home!!!

As I've said before, our City is complicit in these violations of worker protections by continuing to use companies like this to perform work in our City.
We should value people's health, no matter whether they are full-time, part-time city personnel, or workers that are contract employees who don't have a clue about the equipment they are supposed to be provided. It says a lot about what kind of people we are when health concerns are put on the back burner so the work can get done. As a citizen, I'm certainly unhappy that my representative government was not proactive from the beginning. These accidents should never happen.

Health hazards when performing work such as this should be taken seriously. Obviously these contractors the city has chosen to do business with don't take worker regulations and requirements for the training and equipment needed seriously. The question is why is our city using, and thereby condoning, the practices of these companies? These workers are probably "immigrants" who don't have a clue as to how they're being exploited by the companies that are using them, and our city is complicit in this by allowing it to go on.

I think it would take maybe 50 to 60 septic tanks to fail all at the same time to equal the mess the city created today.
