Mayor's Message

Mayor Patrick C. Soranno

Dear Residents and Visitors,

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of our former Town Engineer, Bob Brotherton, on Thursday, February 18, 2021.

Bob was a life-long public servant, contracting his engineering services with the Town of Indian Shores after his retirement from the City of Dunedin. Bob retired for a second time in July of 2020 after almost 17 years of service to our Town with plans to travel with his wife, Janice.

Bob was integral to many projects in Town, and it would be nearly impossible to enumerate all of his contributions.  Some of those include being part of the team that worked to underground the Town's utilities, design of the Community Garden, volunteering his time on the Arts Council, and assisting us in working with the Florida Department of Transportation. Bob also did all of the Town’s Site Plan Reviews and reported his recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Board and the Town Council.

Bob Brotherton, PE, Picture (JPG)Bob was truly a Renaissance man – he cultivated orchids, studied genealogy and wrote a book on his family’s history, he participated in a gospel-singing barbershop quartet and was the First Vice President of the Clearwater Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. He will best be remembered for his intelligence, quick wit, and great smile. He was always there when we needed him. Rest in peace our Dear Friend.

Arrangements – Saturday, March 6, at Moss Feaster Funeral Home, 1320 Main St. Dunedin, FL 34698, (727) 562-2040. Visitation is from 1-2 p.m. Service will be 2-3 p.m. No flowers please. Donations to the Sons of the American Revolution Clearwater Chapter. There will also be a link to attend virtually announced soon.

Black Skimmers have been nesting in Pinellas County for over a decade, with one of the most popular colonies bouncing back and forth over the Indian Shores and Indian Rocks Beach town line. But what are Black Skimmers? 

Please join us on Wednesday, March 24, at 7:00 p.m. for a virtual Black Skimmer workshop to learn about these charismatic seabirds! One of the most unusual seabirds you'll ever see, these skimmers are sure to capture your attention when out during your evening beach stroll. During this workshop, we will learn how they can lay their eggs and raise their chicks on sandy beaches during the peak of summer, and how exactly they catch fish without crash-landing into the water. We will also discuss their habitat loss and how we can work together as a community to help them survive.

This is a free workshop open to residents of Indian Shores, Indian Rocks Beach, and other nearby communities!  You must register on the Meeting Registration page to participate in the workshop.
