11.12.06 -- POLL: Does McIntosh need a tree ordinance?
Sunday, November 12, 2006
ADDED: (Click here to view the proposed tree ordinance. The proposed changes are in red, and the old ordinance is in black.)
The McIntosh Town Council was divided over the tree ordinance at the last meeting. Councilman Lee Deaderick was opposed to the ordinance and would like to see something else take its place. Council President Frank Ciotti stood up for the ordinance, describing how the town was vulnerable in the past to people cutting down trees.
What do you think? Does McIntosh need a tree ordinance?

Most would wonder how it would read and let or not let you cut,and there is always an exception clause that seems to come up if its dead or threating property. Would all be up in the air till its put in wrighting to say.

McIntosh has a tree ordinance. The tree committee and the council are updating it. But one of the councilman would like to minimalize the ordinance altogether. I have a copy of the revised, working ordinance that I'll convert to a PDF and post tomorrow morning, if you like.

Ya, that council member would probably like to do away with government all together.

While I was finishing my undergrad degree in journalism last year, I reported on McIntosh, Fla. for an in-depth reporting class. I figured that the reporting and the public record files should go somewhere people can access them. Reporters don't report to keep the information they find to themselves. Some of that reporting is included here in a forum that allows response. McIntosh suffers because with no news coverage, the local government and the rumor mill have too much potential to run rampant over residents. I moved to McIntosh in the fall of 1999. My profile
