Dear Friends and Neighbors, I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. I know many of you are still traveling or taking some time with your families and friends and will not be returning to Juno Beach until later in the Fall season. The July 4th Pancake Breakfast sponsored by the Juno Beach Civic Association and made possible with the tireless efforts of many volunteers from the Civic Association and the hard work from

our Town Staff saw a turnout of over 200 people this year. As always, our residents enjoyed the parade with the children and the bicycle decorating competition, the excellent breakfast, and some great entertainment that included a slide show, musician, and a dynamic history discussion. Once again our Civic Association outdid itself in putting together this event and they made sure that there was something there for everybody to enjoy.

Our Town Council is still in the process of meeting to handle annual tax, spending and budget matters. Based on the most recent audit report, our Town is coming off of another solid year of exercising sound fiscal responsibility. Much of the credit for this rests with the fine work from our Town Manager, Joseph Lo Bello and our Town’s Finance Director, Mat-thew Pazanski. What really stands out is the fact that every department in the Town of Juno Beach performed in a positive manner in terms of budget-to-actual expenses. For each and every department head to be in the plus column it really says something about the highly capable staff and department heads working for the Town of Juno Beach. What it says to me is that our Town Staff not only cares about the residents they serve, but that every department and every staff member are also doing an excellent job day-to-day, and it also shows they respect how the Town uses every tax dollar it receives. Over the past several years, our trend in Juno Beach has been to maintain and improve where possible the high level of services and high quality of amenities for residents while actually decreasing taxes slightly. We are hopeful that this trend will con-tinue, and at the same time we try to take adequate steps to prepare for any unexpected events or expenses. The overall property values in Juno Beach are generally back near the level they were before the financial crisis. Think how fortunate we would be if all of the municipalities, boards, districts, and authorities that appear on our annual property tax bill would follow the same financial prudence in running their operations. If you are interested in more detail, the Town of Juno Beach is transparent in this process and much of the detail regarding the finances is accessible on the Town’s website. We are very proud of the fact that we remain one of only a small minority of municipalities that are free of public debt and we con-tinue to maintain a better than 50% reserve. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is reporting over 300,000 visitors this past year and it seems like the sea turtles are cooperating with some of the highest num-bers of sea turtle nests this season. As many residents are aware our former Mayor Mort Levine was a tremendous supporter of the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. In an effort to honor Mayor Levine’s legacy, the Loggerhead Marinelife Center has recently identified a new sea turtle patient named “Mayor Mort” in memory of Mayor Mort Lev-ine. One wonderful resident in Town started things off and agreed to help sponsor some of the treatment costs for Mayor Mort the sea turtle and that was followed by our Town Council also recently voting to make a contribution as well, as this is such a fit-ting way for our Town to continue Mayor Mort Levine’s legacy. We hope that you will stop by and visit the Loggerhead Marinelife Center and when you do, please be sure to stop and say hello to Mayor Mort the sea turtle. Thanks to the many donations, a GPS tracker was also secured so we will be able to “watch” Mayor Mort’s

journey after his rehabilitation and release from Juno Beach.

Please remember to stop by and join me on the first Friday afternoon of every month for the Mayor’s Hour. It is an hour to enjoy some refreshments and snacks, and in a casual setting you can feel free to ask me or any Town staff mem-

ber any questions. I look forward to seeing you there.

Working hard for Juno Beach, Jason

Mayor Jason Haselkorn

PET WASTE AND JUNO BEACH’S STORMWATER QUALITY*

Juno Beach’s beautiful waterways and beaches support diverse recreational activities while also hosting a variety of fish and wildlife. Unfortunately, swimming, boating, fishing and wildlife in these waters can be adversely impacted by the improper dis-

posal of pet waste.

How does pet waste impact our water? Quite simply – overland or via the Town’s stormwater drainage systems! Here’s an explanation of how it happens - Catch basins are grated structures or openings along the curb or in swales along roads designed to capture stormwater from roadways and other surfaces when it rains. The stormwater is conveyed through underground piping and eventually discharged into receiving wa-

ters. Receiving waters can be any local streams, ponds, lakes or the ocean.

When pet waste is dumped into a catch basin or left on a sidewalk it will reach one of Juno Beach’s water bodies. Improperly discarded waste will either be directly washed overland into a water body or find its way into a catch basin. Again, since all catch basins in Juno Beach discharge into local streams,

lakes and/or the ocean, any pollutants mixed with stormwater runoff will also be carried to those receiving waters.

Pet waste is one of many sources of pollution to our waterways. Fortunately, this type of waste is the easiest to keep out of Juno Beach’s waterways. Cleaning up after your pet is that one key step you as a pet owner can take to improve the quality of Juno Beach’s streams, lakes and beaches. If you have questions about stormwater related pollution or how you can get involved in improving the quality of receiving waters in Juno Beach please call the

Juno Beach Department of Public Works at 561-626-1122.

This month’s edition of “On the Waterfront” offers information to our readers to understand the importance of clean water and what we can do to improve water quality. Enjoy this segment of “On the Waterfront” and remember that together and with minimal effort we as a community can improve the water

quality in Juno Beach.

Environmental and Health Risks When pet waste is washed into water bodies the waste decays, using up oxygen and sometimes releasing ammonia. Low oxygen levels and ammonia combined with warm temperatures can kill fish. Pet waste also contains nutrients that encourage weed and algae growth. Overly fertile water bodies can easily become cloudy, green and unattractive for recreational uses. When pet waste is disposed of improperly, not only water quality suffers, but your health may be at risk too. Pets, children who play outside and adults who garden are at most risk for infection from some bacteria and parasites found in pet waste. Flies also spread diseases from animal waste. Diseases or parasites that can be transmitted from pet waste to humans include: Campylobacteriosis- A bacterial infection carried by dogs and cats that frequently causes internal illness in humans. Cryptosporidium – A protozoan parasite carried by dogs, cats, mice, and many other mammals. Common symptoms include intestinal illness, stomach cramps, nausea, and dehydration. These parasites may be fatal to people with depressed immune systems. Toxocariasis – Roundworms usually transmitted from dogs to humans, often without noticeable symptoms, but may cause vision loss, a rash, fever or cough. Toxoplasmosis – A protozoan parasite carried by cats that can cause birth defects such as mental retardation and blindness if a woman becomes infected during pregnancy; also a problem for people with depressed immune systems. Symptoms include headache, muscle aches, and lymph node enlargements.

The Solution!

These are the reasons it is so important to clean up after your pet. It can be as simple as taking a plastic bag or pooper-scooper along on your next walk or taking advantage of the six (6) pet waste stations located within the Town. Once bagged, simply toss the waste into a trash receptacle. If trash receptacles are unavailable on your walk, take the waste home and toss it into your resi-dential trash bag along with your household trash. Pet waste is one of many sources of pollution to our waterways. Fortunately, this type of waste is the easiest to keep out of Juno

Beach’s waterways. Cleaning up after your pet is that one key step you as a pet owner can take to improve the quality of Juno Beach’s streams, lakes and beaches. If you have questions about stormwater related pollution or how you can get involved in improving the quality of receiving waters in Juno Beach please call the Juno Beach Department of Public Works at 561-626-1122.
