So, What was wrong with the old sign?
The community center in South Melbourne Beach is sporting a new sign. It’s a razzle-dazzle sign that can have the upcoming events electronically posted rather than someone having to go out and change the wording on the sign. Nice, huh? The only problem is that this new sign cost us tax payers $14,600.74 plus $4,625.00 for the electrical. The excuse is that the expenditure source was funded through the South Brevard Parks Referendum. I ask, was this still a necessary expenditure when in the picture you can see the old sign that posted events just fine? In this day and age where we have all tightened our belts, our county continuously shows its disregard for these tough times by flippantly spending money.
Who got the contract? Anyone we know?
They close early on weekends when most people have time to use the facilities in the evening. Go figure.
They close on weekends because they don’t have the staff or money to pay them. They don’t allow volunteers to monitor the recreation center either. Can’t trust us with the keys.
