Sincerely,

First, congratulations to Joshua Fuller on his re-election and Elizabeth Tricoche on her election to the Town Council. Both will serve our Town with distinction for the next four years. I would also like to thank my colleagues on the Council…Stephanie, Bob, Isaac, Josh and Elizabeth for selecting me as our Mayor, and Stephanie as Vice Mayor, for a second year. It is an honor to serve and not something I take for granted.

On a sad note, our deepest condolences go out to the family of Council Member Doris Marano, who passed away on Tuesday, April 5th. At my direction, the flags at Town Hall were flown at half-staff for one week in respect for the passing of a sitting Member of our Council. The family has asked that any donations be made in her name to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In honor of her final wish, the Town has made a donation of $1,000.

In addition to the Town’s donation, thank you to Vice Mayor Bruder for matching my donation of $180 at our last Council Meeting to such a worthy cause.

St. Jude’s is one of the most recognized and respected research hospitals for children with eight locations within the United States. St. Jude’s is best known for their motto of founder Danny Thomas; that “no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.” Anyone who has ever had or known the family of a sick child knows the difficulties that comes with such an event.

The concept of being able to focus only on getting better is almost a foreign concept in today’s healthcare system. For a child, it should be the standard. St. Jude’s not only provides treatment for brain tumors, leukemia and a laundry list of other diseases, but also provides life-saving clinical trials…all with no cost “for treatment, travel, housing or food.” I encourage anyone who can to make a donation to St. Jude’s.

BHI Bulk Waste Pickup GuidelinesThe photos below are examples of bulk items that will NOT be picked up.Construction debris and loose yard debris (bottom photos) are not acceptable.

Taking the Bite Out of Mosquitoes!Bay Harbor Islands residents are the first line of defense against mosquito bites. With the warm and wet spring season right around the corner, residents should prepare by eliminating breeding areas and protecting themselves from potentially serious mosquito-borne illnesses.

Did you know that mosquitoes can breed and multiply in as little as a teaspoon or bottle cap of water left standing for a week? Follow these simple drain and cover checks in your home and yard:• Drain water from garbage cans, house gutters, pool

covers toys, flower pots or any container that has collected water from rain or sprinklers.

• Discard old tires, cans, pots, bottles, jars, appliances or other items not being used regularly.

• Empty and clean birdbaths and pet water bowls at least twice a week.

• In your garden, keep flower pots and saucers free from standing water from rain or sprinkles. Flush out water-holding plants such as bromiliads twice a week.

• Don’t cover your boat or vehicle with a tarp that accumulates water.

• Maintain the correct chemical balance of your swimming pool and empty kiddie pools after use.

Visit the Town website for additional information, www.bayharborislands.org. Town Hall also has literature and other information regarding mosquito control.

On April 11, 2016, the Bay Harbor Islands Council passed a Resolution to raise the toll rates for the Broad Causeway for vehicles with more than two axles.

The toll increase for additional axles will take effect June 1, 2016 with each axle after the first two will cost $5 if you are a SunPass user and $6.50 if you choose to be billed Toll-by-Plate. The base cost for two-axel vehicles will remain at $1 for SunPass users and $1.25 for Toll-by-Plate.
