Engaged to the water, we Treasure
Islanders are, at every turn. When you're surrounded by it,
it's almost impossible not to be engaged, let alone married, to the water. (In California, it could also be a
civil union with the water). This season, about 74
presumably married sea turtles have made nests, from
Pass-a-Grille to Clearwater Beach, doubling the total nest count
from last year, including five turtle nests on Treasure
Island. Scientists from the Clearwater
Marine Aquarium (very married to water, we'd say)
monitor the turtle nests. If you should spot a new sea turtle
nest while beachwalking, call their Sea Turtle Hotline:
727-441-1790 x224.
Very much
engaged with the water (up to their knees in engagement, in fact)
are the crews working on the Treasure Island Boat Ramp upgrades.
They'll finish and reopen the 123rd Avenue ramp next week; the
100th Avenue boat ramp will close Monday 7/14 for about two
weeks.
Digital document policy begins this
month
The City of Treasure Island Community
Improvement Department will begin requiring all submitted plans and
drawings in a digital format, A CD or DVD will do just fine, using
jpegs for photographs and a .pdf, .tif or .dwg for plans and
drawings. This digital requirement does not change any City
requirements for document hard copies and the CD or DVD becomes
property of the City of Treasure Island. Your questions? Answered!
Call 727-547-4575 ext. 230
Sewers! Dumpsters! Wastewater
Litigation!
It's all there and

Millage Rate at the July 15th workshop.

the total so far to nearly 8 tons. Some mighty fine

fantastic table arrangements using the wood) when you
