'Unknown' by The Newscaster Nature Coast News

the Sunshine Law suggests that if a contract has to be written to be enforceable and if such

a contract has to be considered and approved by the Commission at a meeting consistent

with the Sunshine Law then the process requires presentation to and consideration of the

proposed written contract by the Commission at a “Sunshine Law Compliant” meeting, fol-

lowed by approval of the written contract at such a meeting. That isn t what happened. In ev-

ery case 1.The written contract document didn t exist when the Commission voted. 2.Once

drafted, The written contract was never presented to or approved by the Commission; There

was never a Commission vote authoring the Mayor to sign the written contract on behalf of

the Town of Inglis. Instead, in each case, the written contract document was produced by

the Town Attorney after the fact and then signed by the Mayor without further input, review

or authorization by the Commission. The effect of this course of action was to remove the

contract process from the “Sunshine” mandated by §286.011, Fla. Stat."

US Senator, the steam powered sugar mill was a major source of supply for the Confederate

armies. Yulee’s 5100 acre sugar plantation on the Homosassa River was called Margarita and

his home was on Tiger Tail Island. The mill began operating in 1851 to process Yulee’s sugar

cane. The mill, built of hand hewn local limestone, brick and wood by 69 slaves, employed

more than 100 slaves when in full operation. Large kettles were used to cook down the cane

juice. The mill fell to ruin after the Civil War. Newscaster/Sally Price
