Developer Boris Kaye challenges Venice policy of charging water and sewer plant capacity fees to fund growth. The suit has been dismissed three times with one last appeal possible. If dismissed again, courts will uphold the citys right to levy charges and Venice pioneered the plan with 200 per dwelling unit in Capri Isles.
Venice approves first reading of an ordinance increasing water service security deposits for rental units from $15 to $50. Two more readings needed before the hike takes effect as delinquent bills forced the measure. The city lacks strong recourse when tenants leave town, so higher deposits aim to offset losses and curb nonpayment.
Englewood residents push for a bi county high school as Charlotte and Sarasota school boards authorize two state studies. One study examines transportation, the other assesses need and feasibility by combining students from Sarasota and Charlotte counties to meet minimum enrollment.
Sarasota County Commissioners William Muirhead and Larry Rhodes urged South County residents to organize to influence county decisions. They cited imbalances in funding and services, called for a roads list, and urged better South County contact with Venice and Englewood.
Sheriffs and searchers warn residents to stop arming themselves as locals camp in the swamp in pursuit of an unidentified creature blamed for sightings. Sanctuary leaders fear a shooting could injure or kill someone while authorities weigh the possibility of a deranged person or a rare animal.
Venice City Council voted to seek an external audit of Sarasota County expenditures amid dissatisfaction with a dual taxation study. The four city group including North Port Sarasota and Longboat Key supports the push as Manatee County conducts a similar audit at 15000 dollars.
Venice plans major changes at city hall to ease crowding after a sign limited the chamber to 70 people. Protesters packed the room last Tuesday despite warnings, with many residents following the limit while meetings normally draw more than 100. Building inspector Robert Becker told the city council that only 70 could fit in the room.
