SUBJECT: Next Meeting, and assorted information

 

An agenda is attached for your next meeting, which will be Wednesday, September 19th, 6-8 pm, at the Lee County Administration Building, 2115 Second Street, 1st Floor meeting room.

 

We are finally going to get to the discussion of the report “12 Ways to Turn Around Downtowns” distributed at the June meeting.  (Copies will be available at the meeting on the 19th, too, in case one cannot be found.)  I also returned from FAPA with a DVD with a number of presentations (power point) from other areas on various subjects, which I will have with me in case we end up with too much time on our hands.

 

The Board took action on moving all 14 DRGR ideas forward (at varying rates of speed, and with further reflection) but we think there is a moratorium on Plan amendments within the DRGR in effect now.  (Still checking, but it felt that way).  And you (the Committee) were thanked again for past—and in advance, for future-efforts on this.

 

The idea of County/City Municipal Service Boards and Urban Service Boundaries was presented to the Charter Review Committee in August.  More discussion will take place in September.  Such a recommendation just came out of the Commercial and Industrial Land Use Study, also, which is found: http://www.lee-county.com/meetings/mandpfiles/2007/09-10-07/091007.htm

And I think I have been told by the BoCC to stop being chintzy and spring for sandwich rings!!!
