Filing Dates Set For Election
It’s now official: the filing dates for candidates interested in two commission seats up for election in March 2010.
The filing period will begin on December 4 and run through December 18. Information and forms are available from the town clerk at Town Hall.
The election is for Seats 3 and 4, currently held by Jerry Knight and Curtis Blocker respectively.
Capital Improvements Plan OK'd
Each year, as required by state law, the commission extends its capital improvements plan to cover major infrastructure projects for the next five years. The plan outlines what work will be done, and, more importantly, shows that funds will be available to do it.
Details are available for inspection at Town Hall.
In the 2009-2010 fiscal year, many of the proposed improvements will take place in Radcliffe and Addie Graham parks, where additional playground equipment will be installed.
The town is also hopeful that beautification proposals will be implemented on Gulf Blvd. These are to be financed with Penny for Pinellas funds, and county officials are now reviewing the timing of the funds’ release.
Later in the plan’s time frame, the town proposes to repave local streets.
Dates Set For Community Events
