Collier County Sea Turtle Protection Program

November 13, 2018 By Dawn

Sea Turtle season under the Collier County Parks & Recreation’s Sea Turtle Protection Program is over for 2018. This means that the restrictions on beach illumination is lifted again. From May 1st until Oct 31st, Collier County employ a program to prevent sea turtles from becoming disrupted while nesting. Sadly, turtles get disoriented from lights near the beach. During the nesting season, lights that cast a shadow are considered a violation. So, in Collier County, residents shadow test their outdoor lights. Controlling light pollution minimizes the disorientation and damage.

It’s important to remember though that the sea turtles are always protected. According to Florida Statutes (F.A.C. Rule 68E-1) you can’t the take, possess, disturb, mutilate, destroy, sell, transfer, touch or harass sea turtles, their nests or their eggs.

Collier County’s Own Recount For County Judge Race

November 12, 2018 By Dawn

Collier County tested its vote tabulation machines Monday. Then, the recount for who will be the County judge began.

County judge candidates Blake Adams and James Moon were separated by only 101 votes in the first count. That was a mere 0.08 percent of the total votes. When the vote margin is 0.5 percent or less, it triggers an automatic recount.

So, three days after the election, the Collier County Supervisor of Elections Office ordered a machine recount.

Adams and Moon were in a runoff in the general election after beating out three other candidates.

Their deadline for the recount was determined by the state: 3 p.m. Thursday. You can find the unofficial first results here. Click here for more information about the Collier County recount.

According to the press release, the public may observe the recount. The recount takes place at the Supervisor of Elections office, 3750 Enterprise Ave., Naples, FL 34104.”

Marco Island’s Parking Solutions Advisory Committee To Vote Tomorrow

November 12, 2018 By Dawn

Marco Island has established a potential moratorium on some parking regulations, and if it passes at a vote tomorrow parking might get easier. For starters, they won’t pass parking tickets for certain things they normally would. You know how you’re not allowed to block a sidewalk or park in a grassy area in a neighborhood? They’re suggesting more leniency for overnight parking until January 7th. No $95 dollar ticket? No driving around and around? This is good news! Still, this is just a temporary fix. It would apply between the hours of 10 at night and 6 in the morning. There is a real issue that people can’t find a place to park overnight, because of the city’s growth.

Still, as we mentioned, this would be just a temporary fix. They will vote Tuesday the 13th. Marco Island City Council is working on permanent solutions, and we will be sure to keep you updated!

Beware Of Social Media Ads Made To Scam Shoppers This Season

November 7, 2018 By Dawn

Be careful of ads you find on social media sites like Facebook this holiday shopping season. The Better Business Bureau warned that there are online shopping scams targeting social media users. The scammers use legitimate looking ads and fool shoppers into buying items.

The catch is, the shopper will pay for the item, but they will never actually get it. Take the recent Trendy Iron scam. Trendy Iron was a supposed great deal on a hair straightener. It all looked so real. After the shopper made the purchase, they even got a confirmation email.

Of course, the shoppers would never get their Trendy Iron. The whole thing was a scam aimed at luring social media users into buying the item for a bargain.

So, let that be a lesson to all of us. We must make sure our shopping platforms are legitimate. We can always check to make sure that the vendor has a contact phone number and actually call it, for example. Or, we can stick with shopping platforms we trust. Finally, we should always verify that the shopping site we choose is secure. We can do this by checking for an HTTPS in the domain name.

Dog Licences on Marco Island

October 21, 2018 By Dawn

Collier County Animal Control Ordinance governs over licensing of animals on Marco Island. It says that any dog, cat or ferret over four months old must have a valid license with the county. These licenses are renewed annually. In order to get the license, the animal has to be up to date on rabies vaccination and the vaccine has to have been administered by a licensed vet. You’ll need to show proof of this vaccination in order to get a dog license in Collier County for your animal if you live on Marco Island.

Additionally, in order to follow the ordinance, unless the animal is confined, the license has to be affixed to the harness or collar. Keep in mind, pets are not allowed to run at large. If you take your dog for a walk, the animal must be on a leash. You also have to make sure your dog behaves. For example, they can snap at, jump on, or threaten people using a right-of-way. You also have to pick up after your pets for sanitary reasons too.

The county also requires that animals aren’t tethered outside unless a person is outside in visual range of the dog.

The fine for violating this ordinance could be as high as $500. Learn more here.

What Trees Are Wind-Resistant Besides Palm Trees?

October 20, 2018 By Dawn

There’s no guarantee that even wind-resistant trees will survive a strong storm like Hurricane Michael that devastated the panhandle. However, in the Marco Island area, some species are better than others at surviving strong winds.

Most people know that palm trees usually fare pretty well. Unfortunately some people over-prune palm trees right before storms, but over-pruning leads to lower survival rates. The best thing is do complete annual maintenance on all your trees.

If you’d like to feature trees besides palm in your yard, but still want to use a species that is resistant to wind, there are other options too!
Geiger trees (Cordia sebestena) and Mango trees (Mangifera indica) both do well against strong winds. Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) and Mimusops (Manilkara roxburghiana) are also wind-resistant trees that do well in South Florida. You might also consider planting Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) trees.

Remember though, in order to help your trees do best against storms, prune them at a healthy rate each year as they grow. Don’t wait years in between pruning.

Marco Island Water Quality Efforts Set The Bar!

October 14, 2018 By Dawn

Marco Island residents invested $250 million dollars into its Septic Tank Replacement Program (STRP). The Septic Tank Replacement Program helps stop the flow of possible waste into canals. The program stopped residents from utilizing septic tanks to handle their waste discharges. There was an update of the Marco Island waste treatment facilities. Plus, we saw a comprehensive rework of the collector system. As it turns out, this was an impressive proactive step to protect the environment in and around the island.

Current Water Quality Efforts On Marco Island

Now, Marco Island is also considering going back to monthly testing to get a better database, to make sure that at least Marco Island’s environment stays clean. Obviously, this needs to be a regional effect and other areas are only now considering these steps. In Marco Island though, planners are staying ahead of the game. Great consideration is going into using smart building techniques, which even includes thoughtful landscaping. Local landscapers work with their clients to make sure that any runoff doesn’t discharge directly into canals. The City of Marco Island also requires site-plan reviews even for things like walkways and patios. While at first, this might seem aggravating, it’s an effort to make sure that the amount of permeable areas can handle on-site stormwater. Plus, it helps ensure that we have a proper ratio of hardscape surfaces.

All of these efforts are setting Marco Island ahead of other Florida municipalities and helping to maintain our pristine ecosystem.

Marco Island Schools Allocated $40K For Resource Officer

October 13, 2018 By Dawn

Funding from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act allocates just over $40,000 towards the cost of school resource officers at Marco Island schools this year. Marco Island Police Chief Al Schettino explained to the Marco Island City Council about a resolution that includes a memorandum of understanding with Collier County Public Schools.

The $40,000 comes from a state bill that came about after Parkland. In all, $97.5 million was allocated towards school resource officer funding in the state. The funds were allocated based on granting $35 per student to schools. Marco Island’s three schools includes 1,151 students. That means that Marco Island schools will be granted $40,450.10. That amount would not be enough to fully cover even one school resource officer’s salary. Still, the police chief said that even before funding was allocated, the city had already newly hired three school resource officers allowing one officer in each school all day.

Marco Island City Council Candidates

October 12, 2018 By Dawn

Florida Citizens Alliance, a 501(c)(3) non-partisan coalition, with a goal of making sure that voters are informed before they vote posted a video to its YouTube account. The group recorded the City Council Candidate Forum, so that Marco Island voters can better understand who they will have to choose from, even if they were unable to make it to the live forum the coalition hosted.

The forum drew over 250 people to the Marco Island Historical Society. Candidates had the chance to talk about some of the pressing Marco Island issues. Five candidates are running for just three positions. The candidates are: Jim Richards, Erik Brechnitz, incumbent Victor Rios, Jerry Swiacki and Sam Young.

The coalition also interviewed the attendees and found out that the biggest areas of concern they will consider when choosing who fills these seats are water quality, managing growth, controlling population density, hiring a city manager that will do a good job, keeping Veterans Park green, and making sure there are no parking garages built.

To learn more about the candidate’s views, check out the video above or read this article.
