The BCC passes 5-0 last night in favor of the "Leave No Trace" ordinance....YAY!!! Why isn't anyone talking about it? This is wonderful! Is SoWal only a place for negative posts? Finally our beaches will have order and be beautiful again!

funny you ask that, because more often, people are accusing SoWal as being a place for only positive posts.
What's new with the passing. They've already passed it once. Now they passed it again. We will be more pleased when we see the beach free of crap in the evening, and when we stop falling into huge holes on the beach.

Code enforcement is comprised of five officers of which one is the manager, plus the administrative assistant. Leave no trace is well known to be very important to the citizens of south Walton. July 4th has to be one of the busiest times in south Walton. So how serious is the situation really being taken when you look at the allocation of resources.
Thursday--1 officer on duty - Gomer
Friday--1 officer on duty - Goober
Saturday--0 officer on duty - No one on duty-not even AuntB
Sunday--1 officer on duty - Barney
As this was being explained to me I may have mixed up Saturday and Friday. While Saturday is the holiday, Friday is what the county says is the holiday.
If this level of service is acceptable during such a busy time, one has to wonder, why not just go ahead and make this the level of service year round.

What will Goober, Gomer, and Barney be doing for the rest of the summer (Labor Day)? Maybe long term goals will be realized in (surprise, surprise, surprise as Gomer might offer to the idle ***** in a slapstick manner) the long term.
Who knows but if the past is any indication - NOTHING !
maybe you should leave the volleyball up on Saturday night.
I think they ought to just wait until October or November to even start this whole thing. Seems like it would be a whole less work then.
They never took it down !
I'm not sure what did or didn't happen in the past, but today we have a way to apply the heat to keep the golden goose that is our pristine beaches clean. Perhaps if the internet was around 30 years ago Miramar, Destin and PC wouldn't be the blight disasters they are now.
Sometimes trial by fire is the best training! Better to hit the ground running than be milquetoast about it.
