WHO RUNS THIS TOWN….
IS IT MCINTEE OR COLON?…….READ ON…….
THE PAVILION POLES…
This Saturday morning this writer was at the pavilion…standing in front of a crew of guys putting on the finishing touches for the Monday night reveal…..
Standing in front of them observing a few bystanders…no positive words were said among them…independently they asked about so many poles…the lack of views…
The man in charge was asked…he replied they were needed to support this structure…all are concrete going down 4 feet into the ground…but these seniors weren’t buying it…and neither is this writer…sorry!…
WILL IT BE READY FOR MONDAY’S RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY?…
Yep said the man in charge…they will be done today…it will be open for Monday…the Town has it’s TCO…(temporary certificate of occupation)…and on Tuesday morning….IT WILL BE SHUT DOWN!…Why?…The siding is all put on incorrectly and needs to be torn off and redone!….YIKES!…
NO MORE STREET EVENTS….
The man in charge says this is where the concerts will be…the Town has told him…they’re shutting down the night time street events…..HUH?…The bystanders said but they have been having the music in the streets “for years”…The man in charge said he’s from West Palm Beach…and they shut down the streets …no problem…but he said our Town said that’s what they’re going to do!…WOW!…
WHY NO BATHROOMS?….
The man in charge gave the excuse…that the undesirables would hear there were bathroom and come use them over here …on this side of the bridge…This writer said they will probably put them somewhere else…The bystanders said…those awful port-a- potties?…OOPS!
WHERE’S THE SEATING?….
The bystanders said where are the seats?…They loved coming and sitting on the benches…The man in charge said the Town has stopped the seating…and the seating he agreed with the questioners will be limited!…OUCH!…
NO LIGHTS IN THE PAVILION!…
The man in charge pointed out without any questions being asked…that there will be no lights in the pavilion!…HUH? This writer asked him why…He said the Commission said no!…This writer told him the Commission NEVER voted on lights in the pavilion…He said he was told the turtle lights would cost a $1000 a piece and the Town said the Commission said NO!…The electrical is ready for them…seems…THE MANAGER AGAIN DECIDED ON HER OWN!…
VIGILANTE…”2-HATS’….MICRO-MANAGER ALERT…
As this writer stood there ..who drove up but Deputy Chief McIntee along withVFD Ron McGirr…in the VFD SUV…they parked at Aruba…and walked over to the pavilion and the man in charge…where this writer observed…a few feet away…McIntee shaking his hand…offering the help of the VFD…Not sure…what for?…But if it was construction besides the micro-managing…are the VFD licensed…contractors to work on a town project?…He made sure to tell the man in charge..”I am also the Vice Mayor”…Seems a conflict…plain and straight!…He then learned himself about no lights…saying he would put it on the agenda!…So there you have the Manager decided on her own…So maybe she is more powerful then he is…after all!…
BC- during the campaign last year people would often ask who was in charge McIntee or MacMillan…guess now the question is who is charge…McIntee or Manager Colon?…
He left the pavilion…looked up at the front facing the street…and said that would be a great place for a clock…
AFTER THE VIGILANTE LEFT….
The scuttlebutt in and out of the site…gives this writer hope that his reign is about over… For his actions at the pavilion were received all around in “concert” (pun intended) with those who know he has to go!….
more to come….
