The Capri Civic Association officers and board members are considering installing LED,
lower wattage lights with shields in Rosselli Park around the playground. They would
be lit from 5-9 p.m. during the winter months. Please let us know what you think of this
proposal. Contact Dominique Reiter at 644-3343 to voice your opinion.
We are also proposing installing pavers with military emblems honoring each branch of
the Service at the flagpole in Rosselli Park. The cost of this project will be covered by
the paver fund.

City Charter Review Commission
The commissioners have created a Charter Review
Committee to review and possibly amend or change the
charter. I have been appointed by the commission to
represent our district. There are a total of five people
on the committee, one from each voting district and
one appointed by the mayor.
The city charter is the foundation document defining
the geographical location of the city and having a mayor
and four districts. The charter designates how a
commissioner/mayor is elected, length of terms and
specific duties.
The charter also indicates the
electorates’ right to call for a vote on a referendum, an
initiative or a recall.
We had an organization meeting in December and plan
to have multiple monthly meetings before making
recommendations to the commission on amendments.
Meetings are open to the public. The charter is
available online or from the city clerk.

Community Policing
The Treasure Island Police Department was established
in 1955 to provide professional law enforcement
services to a rapidly growing community. By creating
attainable goals, the men and women of this agency
have committed themselves to making Treasure Island
one of the safest communities in Florida. Over the years,
our department has adopted a community policing
philosophy. By embodying the core principles of
community policing, we have involved the community in
creating solutions to the issues facing them. Our
success was not built solely by our own hands, but
rather, is the result of working together with our
residents and businesses.
Today, we continue our proud tradition of providing
professional law enforcement services through a
community policing approach. With continued goals to
meet Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation standards,
the Treasure Island Police Department will continue its
tradition of maintaining the quintessential beach
lifestyle our residents and visitors have come to know.
