Long-awaited Public Safety Committee meeting Tuesday at 4:30

Tuesday is your opportunity to let Town Council know how you feel about the St. Patrick's Day celebration on Sullivan's Island, and what changes you would like to see this year, to make sure there is not a repeat of last year's debacle. 

The Sullivan's Island Public Safety Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, at 4:30 at the Fire Station on Middle Street. The St. Patrick's Day discussion is the only item on the agenda.

The Fire Station is located at 2050 Middle Street, in front of Town Hall. The meeting will be in the Training Room on the 2nd floor.

The Public Safety Committee originally scheduled the St. Patrick's Day discussion for December 3rd, but at the last minute, announced it was changing the meeting agenda and rescheduling the discussion for January 13th. The large group of attendees at the meeting was clearly disappointed with the delay. But January 13th is now here, and islanders will at long last have their chance to let Town Council know what changes they would like to see for the St. Patrick's Day celebration this year. 

So come to the SI Fire Station on Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 and make your voices heard!

P.S. No one issue on Sullivan's Island has generated more anger and consternation among islanders than the 2014 St. Patrick's Day celebration. Irate islanders filled Town Council meetings in March and April last year to demand that Town Council make changes before the 2015 event. 

Here is the link to a letter to the editor, written last April by former Mayor Carl Smith, describing what went on, based on police reports about the St. Patrick's Day event, and also, what changes could be made to improve the situation going forward: http://bit.ly/1DQIBw.
