ISLA MUJERES, 9 de julio.-
As part of the “Ayuntamiento en tu Colonia” program, City officials visit private homes in various colonias to chat with residents about the real needs on their block, in their neighborhood, and in their colonia in general, and to respond to those requests with options from the City. These home visits began earlier this year and will continue for the remainder of this administration, with the goal of having ongoing proximity between city officials and residents to diagnose the real conditions of day to day life on the island and to take appropriate measures to solve problems.
Following a request made under the "City Hall in your Colonia" program, immediate instructions were given by the Mayor to carry out the renovation and repair of the sidewalk and crosswalk by Cesar Mendoza elementary school, along Martinez Ross Avenue. Mayor Agapito Magana Sanchez said, "As
I have established from the beginning of my administration two years ago, my government will be concerned about (sobre) all things, and is a government that organizes its operations in order to meet the real
needs of the community."

There were reports in the media yesterday about a confrontation between two child/youth groups in these two colonias, affecting 7th street, in which there was an adult injured and stones hit a nearby home. The Mayor, Agapito Magana Sanchez, confirmed that the City Secretary, Cesar Poot Perez, will preside over the meeting on Friday at 8pm between the parents and residents of this area, with local authorities, and representatives of governmental agencies and social and community organizations. He said, "One of the greatest assets we have in Isla Mujeres is our sense of peace and tranquility, and for no reason are we going to allow a group of youths, who have been misled and manipulated by adults, to rob us of that which has been built and preserved by island families for years."
It is noted that with these increasing incidents involving youths, the police authorities have been doing their jobs, within the framework of fully respecting the laws and their human rights. Residents in the area report there have been more police patrols in recent nights, and no further confrontations, but there is tension behind the calm, and concerns that it could be broken at any time with confrontations and revenge, and for this reason a plan of action is needed to address to roots of the problem.
The Mayor appealed to the community, to the parents of the children who are exhibiting anti social behaviors, to assume their responsibilities as parents to monitor and educate their children, and to know that in this and other cases, there will be not tolerance for juvenile delinquency and the laws will be applied completely.
The City Secretary said they have begun to deter the minors and to prevent antisocial attitudes and behaviors which can lead to them being brought before the court, to face charges according to their ages. To break up these antisocial groups, the police authorities report they have begun detaining various adults who are motivating and....(it ends mid-sentence).
