To our Ocean Ridge Residents:
We received a
letter today which concerned me and I felt it needed some clarification.
A resident was concerned when he/she saw Town staff repairing Commissioner
Allison's mailbox. The concern was that staff was giving Commissioner
Allison special treatment during work hours. The Staff was repairing
the mailbox because a police officer accidentally backed into it and damaged
the mailbox. As the damage was our fault it was our responsibility to
make the repairs. We would do this for any resident.
The main thing that concerned me about the letter was
that the individual said they didn't sign it for "fear of retribution".
I want to assure all the residents that nothing like that would ever occur.
If someone has a concern we want you to let us know regardless of what it
is. That way we can explain to you what is occurring and if necessary
take action to correct a problem if it exists. We would never hold it
against someone for bringing it to our attention. Please feel free to
call me anytime at 561-732-2635. Thank you for your concerns and
support.
Sincerely,
Kenneth N. Schenck, Jr.
Town Manager |

request of many residents the Town Commission has agreed to resume noseeum
spraying for the rest of this fiscal year. We will be using a
barrier spray against the mangroves which are the main habitat for them.
We will need access to enter private property and therefore need
homeowner's permission. Letters will be mailed June 5th. If
we do not hear from you we will assume that you do not want spraying
done on your property. The once-a-week spraying will begin on June
9th via backpackers. |
