Regarding collection of the special assessment for the Sanibel sewer system expansion project, council opted to incorporate Florida's Uniform Method of collection, allowing for the assessment to be placed on the annual tax bill. According to a memorandum from Sealover, "this method is best for both the city (assure amounts will be paid) and the citizens (convenience of one bill). A second memorandum from City Attorney Bob Pritt, recommended that the transmission main charges, connection fees, and payment of the Lee Co. tax collector and property appraiser (approximately $4-5 per year) also be added onto the tax bill. The payment period for this assessment can be financed over twenty years, from 2000 to 2019, at an interest rate of 3 1/2 %, or paid in one lump sum by July 1, 2000. The new assessments presented to council represent a decrease from earlier estimates, due to construction costs coming in under budget. The 11 zones affected by the special assessment and the new resolutions are; Sanibel Shores, Area U (located between Dixie Beach and Bailey Rd.), Dixie Beach Service Area, Lagoon Estates, Sabal Sands, Sanibel Place, Sanibel Pines, Periwinkle Partners, another great theatre, another great show!

Has the time come for trolley transportation?

ublic transportation — through trolleys P— may be a project whose time has finally come. It won't happen right away. Much research will have to be done — from learning the real demand, to finding innovative funding solutions. And, maybe full contemplation might now consider seeking an inciease in the causeway toll (something I've always opposed in the past). Traffic can only get Scott Martell worse on Sanibel and Executive Editor Captiva as Southwest Florida develops. Everyone has the right to come to the islands. However much we Around may wish it, this island is not our private sanctuary. However, we can control Our Town our destiny to some degree. Public transportation can help. A system of trolleys will remove some cars off the roads. For many, it will need to be a change in lifestyle and habit. We lo.ve our cars and the convenience they bring. Amajoi debate now is "island stress." If we blow up our bridge, some company is sure to design a hovercraft system to bring over more cars than the bridge ever did. If we allow our roads to deteriorate so that people have a bad experience, we'll still get people rushing to our island like lemmings.
