Re:     Next Meeting and Assorted Information

 

An agenda is attached for you’re next meeting, which will be Wednesday, September 17, 6-8 pm, at the Lee County Administration Building, 2115 Second Street, 1^st Floor meeting room.

 

There are many attachments to this item. Many of these are “sortings” of the recommendations according to recipient and use.  These are all draft, and have been presented to demonstrate the various ways implementation will be pursued.

 

The recommendations have been sorted (taxonomy) this way:

a.  Reviewed for duplication with existing County policy.  This includes projects being done!

b.  Reviewed for conflict with existing County policy.

c.  Prepared by County Comprehensive Plan agenda item

d.  Prepared for (separately)

1. The Lower West Coast Water Supply Plan (and similar documents) of SFWMD.

2. The Strategic Regional Policy Plan of SWFRPC

3. The Long Range Plan of the MPO

4. The appropriate plans of

a.  Fort Myers

b.  Cape Coral

c.  Sanibel

d.  Fort Myers Beach

e.  Bonita Springs

5.  The Lee County School Board

6.  The Charlotte Harbor NEP

e. Prepared as a guide for future legislative direction

f.  Prepared for further guidance to the Community Organization Planning Effort.

And a special g.  A comparison to the 100 Policies of EPA

 

This effort has been made possible in a very short period of time due to the participation of Matt Bixler.  (Which means he did most of it).
