Strange looking fiber covering the entire back lawn at our Casino--
no not the pigeons!
Reluctant to touch it, it looked like insulation material. With so many things that have gone wrong at our casino such as hardware that needed replacing and even the replacements need to be replaced again in some instances to a leaky second level, you have to wonder with all this debris if the roof is about to collapse. You don't pay someone for something to have it deteriorate before your very eyes before the check even clears. Morganti was the contractor and was supposed to watch over the city's interests. In this case, it was a $6 million dollar interest.
The city should pursue this vigorously even though they don't want to be involved in another suit. Saying "pretty please" to these contractors just isn't cutting it nor is a tolling agreement that we just gave to them on Tuesday night. Per City Attorney Glen Torcivia, by giving them this agreement, it gives Morganti and REG Architects unlimited time to negotiate rather than the city file a lawsuit. This could go on for the next 100 years, languish on the shelf like the Nancy Shepherd law suit and/or billable hours could go out the roof. Why didn't the city give us any pertinent information such as 1) negotiations are on-going and they are making head-way or 2) the contractor has replaced some items and is keen to further talks or 3) nothing has been accomplished in three years.
Something else falling apart?
A new landscaping company was hired so where are they?
Can we get it raked up?

Not taking care of our beach property and you're surprised? Where's Juan. There is no way to even make a guess what that is.
Looks like the holes by the 'stuff' might be moles!
The better question might be - what is it they are digging up?
No, they did not appear to be holes but some sort of debris on the lawn. I didn't see holes. Who knows?
Soil aerations
Soil Aeration is the process of making thousands of small holes in the turf. These holes allow water, fertilizer and oxygen to reach the root zone quicker, resulting in new growth and increased root development. These holes also open up the soil and help reduce thatch build up and soil compaction, allowing your lawn to breathe and grow.
Wonderful technical answer but as said, I didn't see any holes per se. How do you explain this asbestos looking material?
The poster at 3:19 is correct. It is soil aeration, which uses a machine with rotating sections that pop out these plugs. Holes can be seen in your picture. In northern states it looks more like dog excrement, but in Florida the soil is sandy so it breaks down and crushes quicker. It is even follows the proper pattern.
I'm disappointed that something so simple has become fodder for speculation of 'bad government'. This is really reaching far. Your blog post would have been more respected if it just stayed with the first part about wondering what it is. Once delved into the speculation that something so benign was a negative reflection of city government, it once again just lost credibility as it was now just another blind attack. I'm sorry we have such negativity in our city.
Ok so now we have another anonymous expert. Thanks for all that credibility.
If you are upset with "all the negativity" then start wondering why people are skeptical of many things going on in this city. We need to question things. You think we should be robots? Put your name where your comment is.
There is no need to aerate sandy soil in Florida; it perks just fine. Did you look at this?
UPDATE: Juan told me it was aeration and they do it all the time.
