30-a beach looks like tent city

I counted 6 big tents left on the beach tonight and 8 smaller umbrellas. I can't believe the county can allow this. This could start fights with first come first serve on public beaches. It means if others see this and can't get beach front seating due to other lazy people leaving there tents up for prime spots all will start doing it making it look like a trailor park. This is insane and the county must enforce the rules.I think we need to bombard the county with complaints.

I have no volleyball net on my property - just 2 adirondak chairs and in my opinion that is responsible ownership. Your opinion may differ and that is your right.

Thank you. My opinion does differ.

Do you have any lawn furniture in your yard ? If you do I find your position "interesting".

Nope. It's on the deck. Why would I kill the grass with furniture?

There is nothing interesting about Miss Kitty's yard decor because she doesn't have to worry about molesting endangered species.

I do not worry about my chairs molesting endangered species. Not one bit Doc.

You've made it quite obvious that you worry only about yourself and your needs.

Goodbye.

I'd be more worried about someone walking off with the chairs. I own a few of these and they aren't cheap.

What exactly does a code enforcement person do to earn $50K a year? Isn't that a higher salary than our sheriff's dept and teachers start at?

Bidding war - I'll ride around all day in a souped up John Deere or tricked out pick-up for 49K a year! :biggrin:


Yes and yes. Remember we pay a guy $35 an hour to ride the bike path.

There are endangered species all over Walton County. Freedom loving patriots becoming the main one.

With bedtax collections being down by over 1/2 million dollars from last year - how are we going to continue this "clean up" without raising taxes once again.

June is going to be the telling month - June LY =2.3 million collected

Anyone willing to bet on June being up ?

WHAT!!!! To oversimplify that is $70K a year!How do I get in on this gravy train?
And what does this person do? I could maybe understand if they picked up all the trash or issued tickets/fines, but I doubt that is the case!

Rides the path every day and reports problems, sprinklers, asphalt cracks to public works.

Scooter remember this when election time comes up. And ask any candidate for re-election if it is true rather or not we pay a guy $35 to be the multi use path consultant, and he rides the path on his bike, and reports to public works.

If any tell you it is not true, let me know and I will email you the contract. I have faxed a copy to each of them and all are aware. I have had one tell me it is cheaper than hiring somebody to do it, this guy is on an open ended contract.

Have you sent a copy to the Taxpayers's Assn? What does the contract say he's supposed to "do?"

I vote we save the county some $$ and make it a volunteer/call-in service instead of a daily paid position.

With the amount of bikers we have on Sowal, it would be easy. Like a cycling suggestion box.

I believe it is a little badge that they issue to show you have paid your fee to use the beach.

Sort of like the plastic bracelet at bars to show you are of age or paid the cover.

Thanks for the answer. So there is a fee to use the beach? Is it part of property tax? I haven't heard anything about this. :eek: So, does anyone have the info a new person moving to the area needs regarding this badge?

Thanks again

How does one contact this person or call an issue in to the county? The sidewalk two houses West of the Tom Thumb at Vizcaya literally has sprinklers on the North side of the road shooting water into the East bound lane at 6:30 in the morning. About 5 of them! :angry:
There is no way around it, you either take a shower or ride out into traffic. You have to roll windows up on a vehicle to pass this spot every morning. It would be nice to see those sprinkler heads adjusted.

No, that's how they do it out EAST by Mango - no badges in Sowal! :wave:

You do not need anything here. They are talking about somewhere else.

So if I tell you how to get up with this guy, you call him, he calls public works, then he bills the county $35/hr for his trouble. Why don't you just call public works or code enforcement and tell them and save us some bucks?
