OK NORTH BAY VILLAGE LET'S GET POSITIVE!


On Tuesday’s February 11 Commission Meeting Police Officer Columbano was presented with a Life Savings Award Plaque for his heroic action in saving a life! Just a normal day at work and a reflection of many NBV police officers that do a great job in our village. Hats off to you PO Columbano!

Ok let’s continue on this positivism kick, although many won’t see it this way. Item # 13 C: An Application by Isles Of Dreams, LLC Concerning Property Located At 1415 Kennedy Causeway, Tract C of Harbor Island, North Bay Village Florida. The Commission unanimously approved the Site Plans to build a 237 unit, 32 story mixed use structure while respecting the Bay View Overlay Standard.  The plans presented beautifully, balances privacy for the condo owner and NBV residents’ right of access to the water.  When this structure is finally built as presented, it will bring pride and recognition to North Bay Village. Congratulations!

Hate to ruin all of the above positivism but we need to get back to business and expect more fiscal responsibility from our elected officials. Just a few months after a tax increase and water bill hike our commission with the exception of North Bay Island Commissioner Richard Chervony, is in favor of renting additional space at the Causeway Towers.  Village positions have been added converted and some salaries were raised. The financial update report has no wiggle room and if expenditures continue untamed we will be facing another tax hike!  More to come…

THE COUNT DOWN HAS BEGUN
