Fort Myers Beach Recovery Continues

Boil Water Order Lifted – On Friday morning, the Precautionary Boil Water Notice was rescinded for Fort Myers Beach after satisfactory completion of the bacteriological survey showing that the water is safe to drink. Call Beach Water at 239-463-9914 with any questions.

Power Restoration – FPL continues to restore power on Fort Myers Beach, however it is not on a block-by-block basis. One block may have power but the adjacent street does not.

Storm Debris – Do not put any storm debris in the roadway. Put it at the curb separately from normal trash and recycling. Create separate piles: Trash, yard waste, building debris, appliances and other waste. Do not put household chemicals at the curb. See the September 15^th Sand Paper or visit bit.ly/Irmadebris for more details.   FULL STORY

Council Moves Budget Forward

With Hurricane Irma on the immediate horizon, many islanders still needing to make last-minute preparations, and an island evacuation in play the following morning at 9 a.m., the Town of Fort Myers Beach Council held an abbreviated session on Thursday evening, September 7, focusing on the 2017-18 Budget and items pertaining to Segments 2 & 3 of the reFRESH Estero Boulevard Projects. Near the end of the session, however, with every minute crucial, Council surprisingly took an additional half-hour to vigorously debate a seemingly non-essential item pertaining to Cella Molnar & Associates. Council member Joanne Shamp was on an excused absence. Under Public Hearings, Council unanimously moved to set the Town’s 2017-18 Ad Valorem Tax rate to 0.8700 mill, up for the current 0.8000 mill, forwarding this for final approval at the Final Public Hearing at its next meeting on Thursday, September 21, at 6:30 p.m. This means for each $1,000 valuation of your home, you pay the Town 87 cents; on a $300,000 house this is an increase from $240 to $261.  FULL STORY
