Boat Ramp Upgrades
Mr. Gonzales and Mrs Cobb have both commented, I feel correctly, on the boat ramp issue. The boat ramp is an asset to the community and a convenience for our residents. It is however, at the same time a nuisance to several residents who live near it and are impacted by the abuse of it by some boaters. I agree that calling the CR Deputy when we see violations at the ramp is the correct course of action. We need to be sensitive to the fact that in some cases the Sheriff will not be able to react immediately based on other higher priority problems being serviced. That fact in no way however should DETER us from calling to report violations.
The Civic Association recently sent a letter to the County Water Department complaining of the deteriorating conditions at our lift stations. They responded on 21 APRIL and did a complete survey of all four Lift Stations in Bay Crest. I received a call yesterday afternoon telling me they agreed that maintenance and spruce up of all stations was needed and will be undertaken. Contracts will be let where necessary within 60 days for painting and reroofing, etc. ALSO our County Commissioner will visit Bay Crest in May on several issues and the Lift Stations are one of the areas he will be shown. You may have noticed the Parks Department just put new posts in around the boat ramp. Again we had requested this beautification.
