CITIZENS' FORUM: REQUESTS, PETITIONS & OTHER COMMUNICATIONS 13A. Roberto Ortiz, Atlantic Isles Civic Association President, said he has a two -year old daughter and he sees a lot of kids playing in the streets, and the rainy season is here, and he doesn't know if the City has anything for mosquito control but the mosquitoes are brutal at this time. Mayor Edelcup said years ago the County used to come by and he hasn't seen that mosquito abatement has been a problem for years and so he hasn't seen the County out there. Commissioner Scholl asked if it was mosquitoes or no- seeums and Mr. Ortiz said both. Commissioner Scholl said we get no- seeums at dusk and during the day that come out of the Park which we can't do much about. Mayor Edelcup said maybe we can ask Public Works Director Wade Sanders to look into it and see if they can come up with a possible solution. 13B. Keith and Fang Oliver: Keith Oliver said as a property owner here, he thanked the Commission for a great job as to the direction that the City is going in. He said on behalf of the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce, they would like to offer a 5' x 8' flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol through the office of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to represent the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce. Being that this is "Asian Pacific American Heritage Month" they brought it up now to offer the flag to the City for the Intracoastal Parks, as some of the Commissioners have spoken about making a Community Park where different organizations can contribute things to the Parks whether it is a bench, a gazebo, or plants. They would also like to offer the City a row of plants 16
