Local Government at work Local Gov. From Page 16 pressed her concern about the procedure for using the park and play ground for functions and Mrs. Symonette explained that permission should be granted before any function is held at any site in the com- munity. A fee will be charged to secure the function at the requested site. However, residents can be assured that the fee will be returned once the area is left clean after the event. Lighting at Brown’s Bay will be requested so that residents can feel safe sit- ting out there during the evening hours. Chairman Mills expressed his concerns about the lack of sufficient drains in Dun- das Town. He stated that this is a request that he made some time ago when he was in office previously and to date nothing has been done. He sees this as a matter of urgency since many parts of Dundas Town are prone to flooding during hurri- cane season and periods of excessive rain. He informed the members of the plans of the Disaster Preparation Committee which has identified the shelters. They will be opened on Thursday prior to the passing of Tropical Storm Hanna. He plans to take Wednesday off to help BEC cut down dan- gerous trees throughout Dundas Town, and he encouraged the members who will be available to join him. He asked them to identify residents who have large trees or limbs hanging in their yard that they can cut down. Chairman Mills told the Committee that the seawall for Ocean View Park and the docks for Dundas Town are priority as persons with boats in the community have no place to secure them. He stated that the seawalls in Dundas Town are eroding and need to be addressed right away. Since Dundas Town has more beach front prop- erty than any other community, he does not see why they cannot get the needed docks in their community. The committee will plan a Town Meet- ing to address the residents and keep them informed of the projects they are working on in the community. Mr. Mills has a concern about non-Aba- co residents purchasing property in the new lots in Central Pines which makes it diffi- cult for residents who want to move into the new areas to do so. He would like to find out how many residents are interested in applying for property in the new subdi- vision so that he can submit those names to the appropriate parties for consideration. The Committee discussed the budget, realizing that they do not yet have suffi- cient funds to accomplish a lot of projects. Since much of the work planned by the for- mer committee has been downsized, this Committee has been left with some money to hold in reserve for hurricane emergen- cies and other small projects. The Committee members have not yet been given their posts of responsibility, SAVE THE DATE Thursday, September 25, 2008 5th Annual Abaco Business Wutlook SEMINAR Understand The Present ;Plan For The Future Venue: New Vision Ministries Centre Keynote speaker Hon.
