Trash Transfer Facility nearly at capacity
Rebosa el Centro de Transferencia

ISLA MUJERES, 12 de junio.-
Over 200,000 tons of garbage have accumulated at the Trash Transfer Facility, which needs to be transferred to the mainland. The facility is at ~95% capacity. This creates a bad image for tourism, could affect the isle's Pueblo Magico status, and the liquid leaching out could contaminate the groundwater. Isla Mujeres generates 35-40 tonnes of trash daily, and more during high season. Apparently the trash has accumulated because the trucks which transfer the trash are failing and in need of maintenance.

This weekend the Program for the Rescue of Public Spaces & Community Participation was resumed by the state delegate for the Secretary of Development of Agriculture, Territories, and Urban areas, (SEDATU), Raul Omar Gonzalez Castillo. Accompanied by local officials, he visited two parks; Parque Las Hormiguitas and Parque Las Tortugas, and they exchanged ideas and proposals. They will address other locations in the future. One of the objectives of the program is to provide children with more and improved recreational spaces.
Work at Las Hormiguitas Park will include: painting, changing the electrical connections and installing five lights, replacing the rejacero (bars?), installing playground equipment for children with special needs, installing bancas (benches?), and trash cans.
Work at Las Tortugas Park includes: painting, changing lights and dismantling reflectors, maintenance for the hydraulic system and bathrooms, installing playground equipment for children with special needs, and installation of bancas and trash cans.
The residents who use these two parks asked for improved police surveillance, construction of a bathroom, changing of the bars (rejas), signage, access for the disabled, bancas, lights, and playground equipment.

Juan Carrillo Soberanis: Officially recognized as Mayor-elect
Recibió constancia de mayoría [+] Ver mas
Juan Carrillo Soberanis was given official recognition for being elected by a majority as the next Mayor of Isla Mujeres, and he will take office on the first of October. The official document was delivered by the President of the Municipal Electoral Institute Council of Quintana Roo, Margarita Concepcion Briceno Magana, accrediting him as the elected Mayor of Isla Mujeres for the period of 2016-2018. He received 4934 votes, which was a lead of less than 400 votes over his nearest opponent.
The new Mayor-elect expressed his deep gratitude to those who voted for him, and said this victory is the result of a great team and the desire of the people to participate in building a better Isla Mujeres. He said he will develop public policies with a view toward having an integrated society with equal opportunities to develop skills, and thereby to improve the future of all the families. He said, "There is a great deal ahead for Isla Mujeres. Having a better place for everyone to live depends upon moving beyond our differences. Let us walk together into the future; it is time for a renewed municipality."
He was accompanied by those who will form the next City government: Síndico, Suemy González Sánchez; primer regidor (First Councilman), Sebastián Escobedo Jiménez; segundo regidor (Second Councilwoman), Elsy Rivero Arjona; tercer regidor (Third Councilman), Diego Genaro González Aguilar; cuarto regidor (Fourth Councilwoman), Verónica Aguilar Jiménez; quinto regidor (Fifth Councilman), Baltazar Gómez Catzín; sexto regidor (Sixth Councilwoman), Raquel Castellanos Alvarez.
Recount in Mayoral election: Results unchanged
Recuento de votos sin cambio [+] Ver mas
At the conclusion of the counting of the five ballot boxes which were challenged, the Muncipal Election Council announced that the outcome of the City election was unchanged, and the advantage of Juan Carrillo Soberanis was increased by five votes to a total of 4,935 votes. During the recount, some votes were gained and lost by both candidates, but predominately there were 190 scored instead of 180, which increased the winner's advantage, rather than reducing it, as PAN had expected.
The results of the Mayoral election are as follows: PAN-PRD, 4,580 votes; PRI-PVEM-Panal 4,935; PT, 71; MC, 61; Morena, 583; PES, 118; null/void 189. Total votes 10,537.
Now the time runs (out?) to appeal and challenge to attempt to get a reversal in state or federal courts concerning electoral matters, with the losing parties alleging irregularities before, during, and after the elections which include: vote buying, holding credentials, giving away 'pantries' (food supplies), giving away building materials, and threatening or intimidating voters.
Navigational alert for small boaters
Alerta a la navegación [+] Ver mas
June 12 The SCT (Ministry of Communications & Transport) warned boaters that southeasterly winds could increase and waves could become more than two meters high, in its report at 4pm, noting there is a likelihood of squalls which could cause these conditions to occur suddenly. The Harbor Master kept the port open for general navigation. At 8am, official Jose Vivencio Borges reported the southeastern winds were blowing at a low speed.
Tourism in Isla Mujeres remained normal, with a good flow of visitors arriving on ferries from Puerto Juarez, Punta Sam, and the Cancun Hotel Zone, as well as via catamarans and trimarans offering recreational activities to their customers. People were enjoying the two main beaches of the island, and taking trips to Isla Contoy, to swim with or observe the whale sharks, and diving, fishing, and snorkeling.
At an early hour, Playa Centro (Posada Beach) was receiving maintenance and cleaning, as part of the plan to remove trash and maintain the Blue Flag designation, which is good for tourism. Playa Norte also received this attention.
(Note..The seas were calm this morning & are currently very calm at 1pm.)
