Public vs Private Beach [threads merged]

[Danny Glidewell]

John G, I do not think anyone is disputing the fact that the Beach Activities Ordinance has been unevenly enforced or even has been ignored. I support stepping up enforcement and think most residents feel the same way.

Dave R., Do you feel this is being properly Enforced? Yes or No?

I am going to guess that it is not and that is a very relevant point John. I just saw yesterday that they made some staff full time to hopefully address this; clearly that is not going to be enough. I would say that should be the main focus of Beach Front Homeowners and I would stand with all of you in that effort. I am happy to help in any way. I'm sure you would remember I made that issue a central point of my comments to the Beach Access Workshop panel some months ago. I completely agree that this MUST be addressed so Beach Front Homeowners have a quick and efficient system looking out for the the need for peace and quiet behind their homes. It's clear that that is a central issue and flashpoint that got us to this point.

Holy Cow, did I read the last two posts from Danny G and Dave R correct?

We (the three of us) are actually in agreement that Enforcement of the Ordinances are a core problem?

We may actually be getting somewhere.

There is absolutely no reason that enforcing the BAO is not a priority and that the TDC does not hire enough people to make sure it is fairly and evenly enforced. I consider enforcement officers and the equipment and training they need to be infrastructure supporting tourism. I include removing those trespass signs as being part of enforcing the BAO.

Bumper stickers coming soon to local cars... Thanks to local friends for coordinating the effort. It's one small way to get the word out. These will be available at many local businesses, in different colors, soon. View attachment 60351

Is there a specific group sponsoring this?

Is there a specific group sponsoring this?

Nope, just private citizens who are coming together and care about securing the continued access and use of our beaches.

Lots of local love.

Suddenly, I have a hankering for a hamburger.
