Commissioner Comments:
- Commissioner McClash regarding the Warner's Bayou/59th Street boat ramp on Riverview Blvd. in West Bradenton, "The boat ramp, we should keep things the way they were. It just doesn't feel right, bring it back." He said that when the boats hit the bottom and scrape, "We can do an easy fix on that."
- Commissioner DiSabatino, "Our 'Pill Mill Ordinance' got a news letter recognition and there is a 'Land Bank' that might be of some help with redevelopment." She said she witnessed a lot of cigarette butts while working with "Beautify Manatee", and said, "as dry as it is, they could possibly present an additional fire hazard." Then gave County Attorney, Ted Williams a heart felt "goodbye." Tuesday's meeting was William's last one before retiring.
- Commissioner Gallen said, "I went to a 'One Stop' dinner that a grant writer named Earl Calwell attended. I was impressed. I would like to make a motion to allow staff to provide and share information with him for what might help in developing a similar homeless shelter over in Palmetto." He added how impressed he was with Police Chief Wells and the Mayor, in their efforts working to improve the challenges for youths in Palmetto.
