Section 6. - This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon-approval by the City Council and signature of the Mayor. Adopted by the City Council on this . day of 2010. Mike Anderson, Mayor Attest: Approved for form. Helen Spencer, City Clerk Toni L. Craig, City Attorney 50- I am Kabe Woods and I live at 240 Brooks Street in Fort. Walton Beach. Mr. Mayor and Members of the Council, As we see all too often, bureaucrats with nothing at stake in a particular issue are making grossly poor decisions based on outdated, faulty or fabricated data. A comprehensive stock assessment of our gulf fisheries was ordered by Congress in 2006 and here we are in 2010 with no progress and the livelihood of many of our fellow Citizens in jeopardy The time has come for aggressive and pointed action to get the stock assessment completed and a fair and reasonable fisheries management plan put into place. I commend the Council for taking this action and I fully support this resolution. Thank you and I will help in any way that I can to push HR1584 and S1255 to passage.  CITY COUNCIL MEETING February 9, 2010 Ordinance - Second Reading Ordinance 1819 Abolish Beautification Committee and appoiint duties of Tree Board to the Municipal Planning Board Synopsis: Consistent with City Council direction on January 12, 2010 Agenda Item Number: 7. 1  CITY OF FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM Office of the City Manager DATE: January 19, 2010 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members FROM: Robert T.
