Marco is a resort destination. Many people here depend on visitors money for their survivial. The problem is not short term renters. The problem is the offenses that some renters commit. These individual offenses should be treated separately one at a time. Lets not throw out all renters and the money that they spend here for the few offenders. Everyone on this island depends on the tourist dollars for one thing or other. Use common sense. Fine the owners who rent to repeat offenders.

The many varied events held at the Esplanade add much to make Marco Island an attraction for visitors and residents alike. The venue for varied events such as October Fest, Art festivals, and Taste of Marco are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike and add many dollars to the community. We should look to continue to showcase these events that bring revenue into our community and provide many varied events for our residents to enjoy.

happyonmarco, wake up. These proposals are no more ridiculus than paying for a bridge we don't need or paying to buy an electric company which we also don't need.

Isn't this incestuous?

Terri, you have always been the voice of caution and reason on the Council. We admired you for asking questions when you didn't quite understand the city"s or council's response to a particular question or situation. You ALWAYS had time to talk with the people of Marco and I do sincerely believe that you did this because you really cared to hear their answers. True, you would finally decide which way to vote, but it was YOUR decision not someone else's forced upon you. We wish you the best of everything that you and your family want to do. You are a roll modle for your daughter and other young women in this town. Thank You

Reply to Lolala, once again you are right on target. Yes, they do a lot of good and yes, they consist of some very nice folks. None the less, they are made up from an inner circle rather than general citizens. The majority of Marco's population is a rather mixed group of people from all over with varing backrounds. It may appear that the City"s inner group of Clubs is rather incestuous and of one mind rather than the more broader field of citizens. To Leroy, yes, these organizations do much good and are also made up of wellmeaning citizens. However this group too,is close knit and does not match the profil of all the citizens of Marco.

Because of the removal of Australian Pines a few years ago, Coconut Island disappeared. Those pine roots kept the island together. Coconut Island was a great afternoon stop for anyone with a small boat. Both young and old lost a small island for some family fun in the sun.

Track K should be developed as a haven for spots activities for the youth of our city. Having a dedicated purpose helps to keep the youth involved with wholesome activities. It could also be a sports park for all citizens old and young. The idea of a botanical garden has merit and should be researched thoroughly. The idea of a solar windmil park is ridiculus. The amount of energy produced would be insignicant to the amount needed. An athletic park or botanical garden seems the best ways to go.
