OLD BUSINESS:
Don provided a couple of
updates.
Garbage/Recycling is
running smoothly, and
Comcast has made Rose
McDermott our island
contact. Her contact
information was emailed
to members.
-
Community Bulletin
Board. Both boards
are up.
-
House
numbering. Bill
Peterson and Bob
Madden on working on
getting Colony Don
Pedro numbering
straightened out.
Kevin Mackin will get
another bid for the
house number signs we
will be offering for
sale to islanders.
Orders will be taken
for signs at the Fire
Dept booth at Art in
the Palms.
-
Beach
Dune Walkovers. Pat
G. met with Ginny
Cower, DEP, and Bob
Madden. The Colony
Don Pedro Assoc is
interested in
partnering with PIE on
building one walkover
on Access 2 .
Islander Building
Company could do the
project during a slow
time after beach
renourishment. We do
not need surveys, but
will need 1 field
permit to proceed.
Pat will speak further
with the Colony
Assoc. We can do, but
will need the tree in
the middle of the
access path moved.
Kim made a motion to
get bids for the
walkovers (both ramp
and steps) for Access
#6 and #12. Carol
seconded. The motion
was approved
unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
-
Charlotte County
resolution no. 08-081
– Don Pedro & Knight
Islands. Under new
resolution, we can
designate a central
location for the
collection of “white
goods” (appliances).
This is for appliances
ONLY and if residents
contaminate the
container with tires,
yard trimmings,
furniture or anything
other than appliances,
the County will not
pick up the load.
After discussion, the
Board decided it would
be impossible to
prevent contamination
of the container, so
agreed to pass on
offering this
collection.
-
Beach
Renourishment. The
project is scheduled
to begin on November 1
-
Annual
Beach and Beach Access
Cleanup. The cleanup
is scheduled for
Saturday, Oct 24th.
Don will put up a sign
a week before the
cleanup at the ferry
landing.
ART IN THE PALMS MEETING
Don turned the meeting
over to Suzy Kett, who
is in charge of Art in
the Palms. A summary
follows:
-
Advertising and
Promotion. Kim passed
out the press release
and reported on costs
of advertising offered
by WENG and the
newspapers. WENG
radio will run 20 ads
for $300 (prepaid).
The Sun-Herald offered
us a 6 day buy for the
cost of a 3 day buy
for a total of
$472.50. There was
discussion about
adding additional
advertising, but the
Board decided to stay
with the above.
-

artists have been
signed up. The second
mailing to the artists
recently went out.

traditionally, many of
the artists sign up at
the last minute.

-
