Increased by 10 million pesos
City income during 2015: Under proposed budget
Aumentarán en 10 mdp
Ingresos de Comuna durante 2015, según propuesta de Ley
Lanrry PARRA
Councilman Víctor Osorio Magaña said the income for the City for the fiscal year 2015 will be increased by 4.4 percent compared to this year, rising the figure to 239,503,397 pesos. This is a difference of about 10.5 million pesos. The major amount comes from property tax revenue which should increase from 49.9 to 5.5 million pesos (sic: el impuesto predial, que subiría de 49.9 millones a 5.5 millones de pesos), from garbage collection fees which will increase ~7 million pesos, and from participants in the Fish Fund, which will increase about 2 million pesos. The Federal assistance is estimated to increase from ~200,000 pesos to 3.3 million pesos, according to numbers provided by the alderman.

The income in the Budget of 2014 (Ley de Ingreso 2014) was 229,306,818 which is increased in the Budget of 2015 by 4.4 percent to 239,503,397 pesos. Increased income also comes from the growth of the hotel industry in Punta Sam where in 2015 there will be 500 new rooms, which also brings increased revenue in the garbage collection fees.

Boat that went aground was removed with no reports of mishaps or damage to the marine ecosystem
Rescatan barco encallado
Sin que se reporten contratiempos o daños al ecosistema marino
Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 15 de noviembre.-
The removal work lasted a little over 24 hours and was constantly monitored closely by the Navy and officers with PROFEPA (Federal Environmental Agency), as well as authorities with the National Marine Park, although the incident occurred outside the park.
The owner of the shrimp boat investigated the two options for repair work, and chose to have the vessel towed to Puerto Juarez, which is where the boat is currently located. The work of refloating was coordinated by the boat's owner and assisted by two boats, and the 10,000 liters of contaminated, oily water were removed to avoid possible environmental damage.
Officials with the administrative branch of the Port Authority will investigate the causes and any financial responsibilities, but the important thing is there is no longer any threat from this vessl. He said running aground appears to have caused a 10 centimeter rupture in the hull.

After the hoisting of the White Flag, which certifies North beach as a location of environmental quality, the director fo the Mexican Institute of Certification and Standards, Viviana Fernandez Camargo, said this is the first step toward obtaining the Blue Flag certification.
There are only 27 beaches in Mexico who have hoisted the White Flag, after meeting stringent quality tests of seas water, and critera for solid waste management, coastal infrastructure, biodiversity, safety and services, environmental education, and noise pollution, among others. Staff from various City departments, as well as restaurant and hotel staff and volunteers works hard for the past nine months to meet the strict requirements of this certification.

16 million pesos for sports domesInfraestructura
Van 16 mdp para domos deportivos
0 16 de noviembre de 2014With assistance from the state government of ~16 million pesos, sports domes are being built at schools on the island and the mainland. Work began a few weeks ago at the dome at the high school Colegio Bachilleres and later will begin at the Middle School, as well at schools on the mainland. Some will begin this year, and others in 2015.The municipal Director of Public Works, Miguel Ariel Caballero García, confirmed that the City will seek resources to rehabilitate the 'gabions' that were installed to protect the retaining seawall. They were installed seven years ago to cushion the impact of strong waves and have lost their effectiveness. They are in poor condigion and the loose stones could present a risk to nearby houses in severe weather. The Director said this occurred they were not maintained, and because it is very difficult to change this type of gavion they will have to submit new documents to the Federal Government, which takes a long time.

Licensees reject operating plan reducing number of boatsEconomía
Permisionarios rechazan plan operativo
0 15 de noviembre de 2014
The civil association “Eco-Turismo Isla Mujeres A.C.", which includes 80% of the whale shark licensees, did not approve of the new Operating Plan proposed by officials for next season. A study about the daily capacity of the protected Whale Shark area has determined there has been an over-exploitation of the resource. The 45 members of the association said they are seeking to present an new proposal, because they oppose this new Management Plan. They said they will not sign the document, because it is unfair.
One licensee said "It's unfair to the fishermen who have ventured into this activity and invested so much money, and now they want to remove the income of these people and say they can work one day and another day they cannot." He said, "Of the four month season from May 15-September 17, there is very little activity in the first two months, leaving only two months to take advantage of the opportunities. If we add to this that we can only work on some days, and others we cannot, we will be doomed to fail."
Por Carlos Gasca > Quequi.- Se reducirá el número de embarcaciones y trabajaran alternadamente.

Hi everyone, I just posted a campaign for an Isla Animals
November Spay/Neuter & Education clinic. The only way to make
change is through education of pet
owners and particularly education of the children-and spay/neuter
campaigns. At the last big IA campaign 220 animals were spayed/neutered.
There will be an education station at this clinic and Isla Animals is
also set to go to the schools. Please continue to support an
organization that has made great strides with 15 years of steady service
to the island. And please, please help us share this campaign! Thank
you! "This is Lucky's campaign, let's make it everything it can be." -
