CONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAULING OFF THEIR OWN DEBRIS AND ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLACE IT IN ANY COUNTY OR STATE RIGHT-OF WAYS.

0 Comments

 
Picture
12/11/17 @ 11:45 a.m.- On Wednesday, December 6th, Nassau County Manager, Shanea Jones, made a presentation to Youth Leadership Nassau as part of their government day curriculum. Ms. Jones spoke about the role of the Board of County Commissioners and their responsibilities to the citizens of Nassau County. 

The students were asked to identify services and answer questions related to the operations of the County. The students did a great job and were very knowledgeable about services and facilities provided by the Board. They were also able to have dialog with the County Manager about the Board's challenges and limitations, as well as plans for future growth. They were a very impressive group of students! 

Government Day is designed to provide the students with a greater understanding of the dynamics and role of government within the County and the Municipalities. In addition to their interaction with County Manager, Shanea Jones, the students met Nassau County Tax Collector, John Drew, School Board Superintendent, Dr. Kathy Burns, and a representative of the Supervisor of Elections Office. The students participated in a mock election and learned how to vote.

Youth Leadership Nassau is a program of the Nassau County Extension Office as part of their Youth Development Services. All 10th and 11th graders with a "B" or better Grade Point Average are eligible to apply. The objective is to provide the participants with an understanding of the problems, opportunities and issues facing our community while developing their leadership skills. In addition to government day, other areas of focus include environmental day, law enforcement day, leadership, life skills, and arts.

It is anticipated that all debris in front of residential properties (both construction and vegetative) will be removed by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 15th.
 
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE FINAL CALL FOR DEBRIS. If you have any additional vegetative debris that has not yet been placed in the right-of-way, the deadline to do so is Monday, December 11th at 5:00 p.m. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS.
 
Both debris drop off locations, the debris email address, and debris hotline will be closing at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 11th. If you have any additional debris that you need to notify the contractor about, please email Nassau@wittobriens.com prior to December 11th at 5:00 p.m. This is their preferred method of communication. However, if you need to speak with someone, you may also call them at (904) 451-7609.
