Charleston’s Boutique Brokerage for Exceptional Results Our busy tourist season is soon to be back! As has become our habit, IOP coordinated a pre-season planning meeting with surrounding communities – Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island, Folly Beach – along with supporting partners – ABC News 4, county and county park reps, SCDOT and Explore Charleston. These semi-annual meetings have been good for collaborating, exploring new ideas to deal with the inflow of cars and people, developing better relationships with those we rely on and then debriefing after the season to review what worked and what needs improving. Some great events are coming up in our community. I hope you can take part in some or all of what our staff works so hard to bring to you. Please use our website, note new domain: isleofpalms.gov, for information and updates about what is happening this month and for future events. Please help our community and report any coyote sightings by calling our police department’s non-emergency number, 843-886-6522. This helps our staff know where to place signage and focus our efforts for trapping. Our reported sightings are down this year but that doesn’t seem to match anecdotal discussions I hear about. Don’t assume someone else will make the call – you do it! Thanks to all that participated in our inaugural town hall in late March. We had great attendance and good discussions on a variety of topics. Hopefully we will get another one on the calendar for the fall. Stay tuned. Please join me in congratulating Robert Asero for his recent promotion to Public Works director. You may have seen Robert around our community over the years at the rec center, digging a ditch, picking up trash, directing a contractor or doing what he does best – generally helping anyone in need. Robert – congratulations and thank you for what you do for our community! Thank you for the opportunity to serve! Phillip Pounds, Mayor IOP 843-252-5359 ppounds@iop.net CIVICS
