New big blue signs in SoWal

[Smiling JOe]

Thanks for the pdf.

Seems like the 2 year hiatus from 2005 to 2007 is what took this project off the radar. Cannot find links to the NWF Daily News story mentioned in the document.

You know how that works. Keep something on the agenda long enough, without making any decisions, and people grow complacent, thinking that the County will never act on it. Surprise! $420,000 worth spent on freaking signs which no one, strike that, make it 54 people reportedly like.

YEAAAA! I found it. You guys really need to read this. The reason it seems that no one knew about the signs is that the decisions were made back in 2003/2004 if I am understanding the paperwork. I converted what I got to a pdf. Sorry about quality, trying to keep it small. Funny that they say that they had to redesign the footings due to modifications in the area. So the area has changed since 2004, imagine that.

Great investigative work WGOP!!

I strongly suggest everyone who believes the TDC should remove the Big Blue Signs on 30-A attend the TDC board meeting this Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. at the Tourist Development Council at the corner of 331 and hwy 98

The meeting is open to the public

The first meeting to go to is Wednesday morning at the TDC at 9:00 when the TDC will decide whether to advise the BCC to take them down. We need all concerned sowallers to attend. The signs are not on this Tuesdays BCC meeting agenda. Please contact everyone you know to attend. Thanks! DAve

Regardless if the signs are not on Tuesday's BCC agenda, anyone can speak on any issue at the BCC meeting. Never hurts to let your voice be heard clearly at the BCC mtg and the TDC meeting.

That's true JOe, I intend to speak tonight and hope others will come as well. I would like a couple of hundred folks at the TDC 9:00 wed. morning. Do you think SoWal can pull it off?

Let's see a show of hands of who will be attending the TDC in the morning.

But of course- wouldn't miss it. I would love to go tonight, but can't break away for that many hours this evening, unless Dave has some inside scoop on the exact time he will be speaking.

Remember everyone- if you can't physically attend the meeting, send a letter or e-mail.

Someone should print out this thread (or portions) and read some of the choice reponses. I nominate Jdarg. Tip -click "thread tools" and select "printable version".

I just faxed my letter to Dave so he can put it in the stack that he can wave around dramatically. But I'm emailing it to everyone on the master list too.

I would love to see video of jdarg reading "select paragraphs" of this thread at the TDC meeting.

I got the document through a public records request to a commissioners office. While I was not told, I got the impression the TDC prepared it for the BCC members to have as a response to questions they were getting.

Will you be my valentine?

Anyone know how to get a copy of the "artist renderings" that were supposedly in the NWFDN in August 2007, along with that story (thanks ChrisV)?
