Mayor's Message

Welcome to the City of Tybee Island’s public website. This site is intended to provide timely and accurate information to our citizens and other interested individuals. We have invested a lot of time and energy into the development of this site and are very proud of all that it has to offer.
One of the fundamental goals of government at every level is open and transparent governance. “Cityoftybee.org” affords the City the opportunity to make our municipal government even more accessible to its citizens. As always, if you cannot find an answer to your question or concern on-line, feel free to use the "Directory" link to get in touch with someone at City Hall. And please be reminded that Mayor’s Night In takes place the second Tuesday of each month from 6 PM until 8 PM. Feel free to drop by and see me if you have some new ideas, a question, a complaint, or just want to stop by and chat. Thanks for visiting our new website!  |

 Trash and Recycling Schedules Survey ReportThe survey closed Thursday, April 25th, before the evening Council meeting. Due to the urgency Council felt was called for, the survey was created and executed between the utility billing newsletters, so it was understood that this would not constitute a comprehensive sample of opinion. It was intended only to try to get a general feel for how the population was tending; indeed, participation was under 10%, leaving us without a statistically valid sample. However, the results remain interesting for discussion, and there were many comments left, which are included verbatim in the report. You can download the report here and review the results and brief analysis to make your own conclusions!

Four For The Future - A quartet of Georgia communities finds partners and tackles the environment, education, healthcare and economic development.
By Patty Rasmussen - Collaboration is more than just a business buzzword; it’s an essential element in sustainable economic development. Communities are learning the power that comes from something we all learned back in kindergarten. It’s good to work well with others.

 News from your Department of Public Works
The DPW crew recently completed the crossover in the center of the North Beach parking lot. They started work on the 8th Street crossover, and that crossover will be unavailable until mid-April while they complete that project.
There is a new, single-stream recycling compactor at DPW in the Polk Street yard. If you have more recyclable material than you can fit into your recycle bin, you may bring your material to put in the compactor - any material that can be placed in your recycle bin can be placed here, and vice versa! Please review this link and take note of the material which is allowed and not allowed in the recycle stream - finding incorrect material in a recycle unit can result in the entire load being rejected to the land fill! Expensive for each of us, for the City, and for the environment!
