(Photo courtesy of SWFD) From RUBY KEARCE  South Walton Fire District’s (SWFD) Board of Commissioners met for their regular meeting Monday, Oct. 10, at SWFD headquarters. Rene Youell, attorney at law, informed the commissioners of a lawsuit brought to SWFD regarding an accident caused by an oil spill, claiming SWFD did not properly clean the area. Youell assured the commissioners of the insurance coverage for this particular issue and stated that the matter is in the insurance company’s hands. If details of the lawsuit need to be discussed further, there will be an executive meeting scheduled to do so. Youell went on to present her invoice for services during the month of September, which totaled $1,295.00, and a motion was passed to approve the invoice.  Carole Martin, Fiscal Officer, approached the board to explain that in previous years Warren Averett Accounting has presented the annual audit report at the SWFD Board of Commissioners’ January meeting. However, this year’s presentation has been postponed until March and the date has not yet been set.  Daniel LaTour, District Chief, then approached the board, starting with a resolution for surplus property.

DFS Beautification and Tree Board addresses Baldwin Avenue Street Painting

Story by RUBY KEARCE  The DeFuniak Springs Beautification and Tree Board met at City Hall for its regular monthly meeting on Thursday, Oct. 6. Board Chair Kim Wennerberg began by announcing updates about downtown DeFuniak Spring’s (DFS) street painting. The City Council has determined that the water and sewer pipes running down Baldwin Avenue will need to be replaced in the next few years. So, Wennerberg recommended that the council consider brick pavers in order to slow down traffic as well as suit the aesthetic of main street. The council agreed to look into the project.  The conversation then moved to the final recommendations for the Master Parks Plan in order to bring the finished product to the DFS City Council for official adoption. Members recommended including more language regarding security and vandalism, expanding the demographic to include members of the community living outside the city limits, more emphasis on landscaping and the overall interior design of the parks.  Tom Baker, the new president of the local chapter of Kiwanis Club, approached the board in order to discuss the possibility of partnering with the city to improve a city park. Baker would like to have the Kiwanis chapter make an impact on the community and hopes to attract new members in the process.  Wennerberg suggested having the Kiwanis sponsor Board Member Sommer Adams’ idea for an edible garden and help maintain it once the trees are planted. Wennerberg reached out to DFS Maintenance Superintendent Dewy Roberts about the best place for... Read More
