Since a significant part of this discussion surrounds "Enforcement", or the apparent, lack there of, I thought I'd let you know that the 2015/2016 TDC Code Enforcement stats are in.
I'm hoping someone will post the entire report.
With numbers such as approximately 1200 contacts with people for glass on beach violations and only two (2) citations issued and approximately 2100 contacts for dog on beach violations and only nine (9) citations issued, it is very easy to see that we have and have had a serious issue with enforcement...
Not only does non-enforcement send the wrong message to everyone (tourists included), it's a missed opportunity at generating some additional revenue that could go right back to the beach access upkeep or another project.
Why such poor stats? Did BCC Members or someone else, instruct the Code Officers NOT to issue fines? Just verbal or written warnings...
We need clear, firm, fair and consistent Enforcement.
