Ed, The City used a 5 Ft. wide 300+ ft. long shell pathway along Winterbury Dr. recently, I guess the City used shells that don't become airborne.
If the City Can use shells for that project I should be able to use it for my driveway.

Mr. Issler, When the STRP was started everyone had equity in their home even if it was only the 10-20% down payment, now people who bought homes as far back as 2002 find they can't sell them for what they paid so people are stuck in their homes unable to move unless they come up with money out of their own pocket at closing to satisfy the loan.
Now the City wants to add a $25,000 lien to property that is worth less then it was 6 years ago and you think this is a good idea because it will cost less now then later.
I think most people would rather pay more later when they have equity in their home then pay a little less now when they have negative equity.
These are tough economic times and the government is bending over backwards to help out but it seems Marco Island is just plowing ahead without considering the impact this will have on people at this time.
The STRP will cause more foreclosures then there are already and it's not like you can say if you don't agree with STRP or can not afford it move because that is not an option for many people.
The City is doing this to keep our waters clean but I wonder what the City plans to do about Isles of Capri and Goodland which shares our waterways, both are on septic.

I have a neighbor who has a shell driveway and it looks nicer then blacktop and fits in well with Florida style.
This City should be worried about all the foreclosed houses on the island that are not being maintained.

Do the forensic audit, it will pay for itself when we find out where all this money went.

Ed I am sure if Mr. McMullan left a massage for Rony Joel about the e-mails he would still be waiting for a call back.

How about the big expensive aluminum bridge they just put in at Mackle park over the finger lake they just filled in. On the plus side you will now save 30 seconds when walking around the park if you take to new bridge.

Wayne what are you and the city council going to do next year when the appraised value of homes on the Island are back to 1998 prices? Can you guys run the Island with a 1998 budget?
