Link to map showing districts and 2010 census population numbers by the districts. The census population numbers are in the table on the bottom left of the map. http://www.co.walton.fl.us/documentcenter/view/3716 I think that this is the correct district as adopted but there were a bunch of maps...

I have heard that too, and everything south of US 90. I have even heard (from a home insurance salesperson) that all of Walton County is south. He then quoted me a large price for insurance. :)

South Walton has no defined boundaries. It may mean different things to different people. Generally it is thought of as south of the bay and south of either the river or the intracoastal waterway. I remember some people saying south Walton referring to everything south of Rock Hill Road and...

The Daily news is reporting that in order for the State to be able to widen 331 the County needs to come up with 75 million and that the only way to do it is by turning 331 into a toll bridge or an additional 1 cent sales tax. I know that 331 needs to be widened but the idea of a toll bridge...

I would suggest Freeport area as being a better location than Sandestin. Sandestin traffic is already bad and will only get worse a major attraction such as a large casino would make the traffic even worse. The beach is and always will be the major attraction for South Walton. Freeport is far...

After looking over all of the maps including the one submitted by Mrs. Rees I cannot see how her map would directly help her or her husband. I must say my initial contempt at this was proven wrong. I appologize for doubting her. As to the proposals themselves I think the real question is do...

From another thread Bob Hudson wrote "Well the numbers just aren't there for two districts with boundaries South of the Bay and inter coastal waterway. Population within that geographic area is just over 18,000. Population would have needed to have grown by 4,000 more people for it to work...

I do not know Mrs. Rees personally and she may indeed love maps. Her involvement may be just her trying to create a better way of dividing the county into districts but anytime someone that has political ties begins by sending a letter to the editor before presenting their proposal it makes me...

Bob, That was a mistake on my part I confused one former commissioner with another sorry about that. I tried to edit my post and change it before anyone noticed but I was to late.

It seems that at least one person does not like any of the current plans for redistricting. Brenda Rees placed a letter in the Walton Sun that outlines her objections and how much effort she put into drawing up her own map. http://www.waltonsun.com/news/-6836--.html Of course with Mrs. Rees...

Found a map showing the possible new boundaries. http://www.co.walton.fl.us/DocumentView.aspx?DID=3476

SWGB, I agree that cell phones have thier place but how do sprint/nextel users for emergency response (Lets say Sheriff) talk to a group of Verizon users, and a group of ATT users to coordinate a response. Also how do the portable towers work withen say 5 hours of a hurricane passing when they...

Having a cell phone is great but it is not a majic bullet and suffers from many disadvantages to a radio system. Most cell phones require the use of cell towers that in emergency situations such as hurricans will not be available. The cell phones limited range and may areas that have no coverage...

Mr. Seigler did not speak much at the meeting and now he will soon not be the county administrator. Wish him well. Walton County Looking for New County Administrator; Gave Go-Ahead on South Walton Movie Theater

I did not get to here Mr. Seigler's speach any chance that it will be available online?

SWGB, I am a registered Republican I changed from registered Democrat about 8 years ago mainly because there are very few Democrats that run in local elections. I will be voting for Sara Comander but I will also be voting for Alex Sink and a few others marked by the (D). I disagree with you...

SWGB, I don't think Chris Mitchel would have had the athority to hand out a no bid no BCC review $25,000 contract. Wouldn't this have had to have gone through a cometitve bid process and approved or denied by the BCC? Do you know if any local companies even attempted to bid for the project? Do...

I also heard that a new road grader is to be purchased. In the discussion it was stated that there are two graders per district. Please tell me that means are 10 graders total and that they are used as needed throughout the county. Please tell me that district 5 (Mirimar Beach Area) does not...

All state licensed day care and pre-k centers should be listed here. The site is a state site so it may not have everything but it should show most. Child Care Provider Search - SansWrite Public Web Portal

Is there any way to get the total outlay of sports programs to compare it to the total income generated by the programs? That would include the cost of coaches and support personell. Maybe the taxpayers association could look into this?

Ash and taxpayers Association, I just tried looking at the metadata on one of my word files. It is nice but most people do not start from a new blank document everytime they make a contract. I noticed that when I saved the file under a new name that some of the metadata caried over from the...

I remember going to the beach with a small cooler, a blanket, and a bag to hold some snacks, toys, and sunscreen. When we left there was only some flattened sand where the blanket was. I understand your use of the beach but "customary use" is another legal quandry that has not yet played out. If...

DuneLaker, I am sure most of the junk left in front of houses or vacant lots on the beach is not put thier by the property owners but some is put there by renters usually short term, or by people tresspassing on the property owners land. Then when the property owner gets tired of it and calls...

The trash on the beach is terible, people treat it as a garbage dump but the truth is most of the beach is owned to the mean high water line by individuals. This will be real unpopular but if the material is not on public property how is it any different than me putting a tent up in my back...

Thank you Sheriff. Your response here to questions while dealing with the inclement weather, sending out notifications on the weather, and implimenting the transition of the E.O.C. to your building while dealing with normal issues is very impressive. Your openiness and ability to deal with...

823 covers a lot including no bonfires within 10 rods (about 165 feet) of any building.

Thanks NotDeadYet. Now I am going to go fearlessly way over my head with a bunch of assumption on my part. 1: All FLUM changes would require a vote. 2: Most new developments occure in areas where the FLUM shows a lower density or usage such as a major devolopment on previously undeveloped land...

The comp plan may not act on individual developments but does it control or include the future land use? If so if a new development wishes to start work in an area with a land use that is not compatable such as a residential community along an area of 98 that is currently agg or some other that...

To answer the second question first they don't report to the BCC at all the South Walton Mosquito Control is an independent tax district with its own independent taxing authority and its own board to govern itselp. Now to the question "why is there a mosquito board commissioner" because way back...

Who knows the criteria used to determine who gets layed off. It may or may not be merit based but it is definatly not based on senority.

Walton County loses three supervisors | three, county, walton - News - Northwest Florida Daily News I never had to deal directly with the planning department except for simple family lot split and never had any dealings directly with Ms. Blackshear. I do know that she has been a large part of...

WCTA Thanks for the numbers on the reduction of the BCC budget. With next budget year expected to produce even less revenue where do you beleive the BCC will cut to make up the budget shortfall. From your figures the BCC has cut over 35% of its budget in the past 3 years the basic operating...

I don't know how big the lot is but if it is used as parking it would also have to have storm water, and other material. Would one lot be large enough to make a difference?

There are several dirt roads in the forest there. How about a nice general hint like the Lat. and Long.? :-)

Is it south of 30A? Is it off of Lakeway Cove? Is it on beach way?

I was trying to find information on the budgets for other County Department such as Public Works, the Jail, and Emergency Response. I was very interested in the "Savings" that moving e-911 to the Sheriff.

I know I am resurecting a dead thread but did the y'all ever post all of the scrub material online?

Contact Walton County Solid Waste Facility Ph: (850) 892-8180 Fax: (850) 892-8434 They will tell you where you can drop off the items and what time. Or you could try the used motor oil drop offs listed here http://www.co.walton.fl.us/DocumentView.aspx?DID=226 but I would call first to...

And of course there is no such thing a security. If someone is determined to commit murder whether on a specific individual or a group the chances of stopping them is remote. Metal dectectors are nice but a fertilizer bomb could take out the whole court house.

I am sorry I did not mean to say that thier were no solutions to the public records email problem. Thier are many companies that have solutions for this. Thier is an article on the state using a symantic product. The problem is as always a matter of cost. I looked up some of these compaines...

Chanel 4 is now UHF and may require a better antena. I get channels 4.1 4.2 4.3 13.1 13.2 very well Channels 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 56.1 56.2 56.3 56.4 most of the time with the 7 channels being the hardest to recieve. If you had weak reception of an analog channel than you will probably not be...

Unfortunatly the $500 solution will not work. Using this just creates a simple backup of the e-mail system. This gives a one time snapshot of the system when the backup is run and is normally overwritten when the backup is run again or as changes are made. What this requires is the saving a...

Robert, $40K a year increasing every year is not a bad price for the service but when thier is a $7.5 million dollar shortfall in revenue getting $40K might be a little difficult.

Lets see. I get about 10 e-mails on my personal account a day. If these are just text each would be 1 k but most have attachments so lets just say that every e-mail is 200 k on average (a wag and probably way low). 950 employees for constitutional and BCC lets say 400 have e-mail. 10 (e-mails) X...

Andy, No I was not at the meeting and with BCC meetings scheduled at 4:30 or so on a Tuesday the chances of me attending are slim. Most people will be at work at that time. My idea of community planning is extremly warped. I have a huge problem with the idea that the government can decide...

I guess that makes me one of the less rational rednecks. South Walton Politics revolve around trying to control what your neighbor can or cannot do on thier on property. The idea to force someone to build a certain way, to force a color scheme, to require certain square footage for houses on...

Zip Codes That's the problem. Zip Code areas are made by the post office to show which post office delivers mail to what area. Trying to use postal designations to describe areas of the county does not work. Locals know where inlet beach is not where Panama City Beach zip code area is in Walton...

Cutting salaries might not be good in the long run. Government salaries generaly do not go up rapidly nor do they decline quickly. A salary cut could put Walton County employees below comparable pay with other governmental agencies. This would recreate the 80's and 90's where the county would...
