The first Community Redevelopment Agency meeting led by the Cape Coral City Council will be held this morning in Council Chambers with a full agenda.

The first order of business will be appointing a chair and vice chair for the CRA, as well as approving the 2024 meeting schedule.

The City Council recently voted to dissolve the CRA board, therefore making City Council the board. Councilmembers Tom Hayden, Jessica Cosden and Robert

Welsh voted against dissolving the board.

The new board will vote on a resolution that would approve the Community Reinvestment Area Demolition Assistance Program, which would award demolition grants to property owners of developers reimbursing 100% of the costs up to $50,000. Those exceeding $50,000 in cost will receive a pro-rated grant not to exceed $75,000.

The agenda also includes commercial

vehicle parking – a proposed ordinance for nuisance regulation in South Cape, South Cape Parking Management Plan and Branding Plan, Bimini Basin mooring field design project update, Hurricane Ian recovery, as well as enhanced groundskeeping and property maintenance.

The Bimini Basin mooring field design project is in its final stage and pending staff review with an anticipated cost of $497,331.

ARC Starlight Auction raises nearly $300,000

By CHUCK BALLARO

news@breezenewspapers.com

It takes about $1 million per year to run the Animal Refuge Center, caring for and housing the more than 300 dogs and cats who live there, paying staff and many other things.

All that money comes through the generosity of others, most of which is raised through smaller fundraising events and online donations.

Much of the money ARC raised came on Saturday at the Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort when it held its 29th annual Starlight Auction, where animal lovers and donors bid on some of the most amazing items.

The event was expected to raise around $250,000, a far cry from when the auction began, when ARC was downright giddy about raising $12,000.

ARC reported Tuesday that the event raised a total of $296,271.

Betty Hughes, treasurer and auction director

The Hurricane Ian damage for the CRA had eight focus areas – Lafayette building, Chester Street Resource Center, street and tree lighting, 47th Terrace, dumpster enclosures, cameras, tree lighting and swales and right of way. The update will share the damage and the repairs that have been made and underway.

Other discussions during the workshop will focus on Community Redevelopment specialist and trades specialist positions, as well as a CRA project update.

The meeting starts at 9 a.m., in Council Chambers, 1015 Cultural Park Parkway.

for ARC, said this event takes a significant chunk out of the expenses needed to run the no-kill shelter.

“This is the foundation of what we can achieve each year. We find homes for these animals and it doesn’t matter how long it takes,” Hughes said.

“We have a state-of-the-art vet clinic and we’ve come back from Ian and finished the last project which was replacing all the fencing.”

Dave and Jennifer Nichols were the title sponsors for the auction, and have been involved with it from the beginning. Jennifer had been a volunteer there before that.

“ARC is very near and dear to my heart. They provide such a service to our community. They take in animals that have been abused and neglected and we rescue and rehabilitate them,” Jennifer said. “Our community is lucky to have an organization like this to help those who need it the

The Lee County Delegation of state legislators will have a full agenda of proposed bills Thursday to discuss that could dramatically alter the balance of power in county government by introducing a new elected county mayor, an expansion of the Board of County Commissioners and reshaping the taxing districts of the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District and Fort Myers Beach Mosquito Control District through mergers.

All of the proposed state bills would require referendums.

The delegation of eight state legislators whose districts cover Lee County are scheduled to meet at 7 a.m. at Florida SouthWestern State College in Fort Myers, in the Nursing Building, Room AA-177. A vote by the legislators at the delegation would be the first step in moving the legislation up to state legislative committees.

The Lee County Board of County Commissioners scheduled a special meeting for Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. in Commission Chambers at the Old Courthouse, 2120 Main St., Fort Myers.

The commissioners are expected to discuss the proposed county mayor bill and a bill which would create two new at-large seats on the county board beginning in 2026.

The Lee County Board of County Commissioners voted 3-1 last month to oppose a new elected mayor.

State Rep. Mike Giallombardo (R-79), whose district includes Cape Coral and Matlacha, has introduced the legislation to

Two more apply for vacant District 4 seat

By MEGHAN BRADBURY

Cape Coral Breeze

www.capecoralbreeze.com

There are now seven applicants who have submitted their name to be considered for the vacant District 4 seat on the Cape Coral City Council.

Council is required to fill the vacancy within 30 days from Nov. 16, the date of Councilmember Patty Cummings suspension.

The executive order of suspension by Gov. Ron DeSantis prohibits Cummings “from performing any official act, duty, or function of public office; from receiving any pay or allowance; and from being entitled to any emoluments or privileges of public office during the period of this suspension which shall be from today until a further Executive Order is issued or as otherwise provided by law.”

Cummings faces three felony charges related to her residency. She has been charged with fraudulent application for driver license and two counts of false swearing in connection with or arising out of voting or elections.

Because there are three years remaining in Cumming’s term, the appointment will be effective until she is reinstated by the governor or through the General Election in November 2024.

In the latter scenario, the candidate elected then would serve for the remainder of term through November 2026.

Applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. this Friday, Dec. 1.

As of Tuesday morning, two more applications have been submitted – Jesus Rodriguez and Bob O’Connor. The others who have submitted an application include Janine Mohl, Karen Solgard, Bob Sutter, Richard Carr and Tony Rainone.

Rodriguez has lived in District 4 since 2008, but for more than 20 years in Cape Coral. He is an internal operations coordinator and service processor coordinator with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP and is bilingual in Spanish and English.

“I have always been passionate about serving my community and making a positive impact on the lives of its res-

idents. This council seat provides a unique opportunity for me to contribute my skills, experiences and ideas towards the betterment of our town. I firmly believe that by actively participating in local governance, I can help shape policies that address the needs and concerns of our community members,” Rodriguez said. “Being considered for this council seat would allow me to work collaboratively with other council members, advocating for initiatives that promote sustainable development, enhance public services, and foster a sense of unity among our residents.”

In addition to currently pursuing a degree in business management, he said he will bring a wealth of experience and expertise that will benefit Cape Coral.

“I have a deep understanding of the challenges our city faces in terms of infrastructure, transportation and environmental sustainability. My experience working with various stakeholders, including community groups and local businesses, has honed my ability to find practical and inclusive solutions to complex issues. By leveraging my expertise, I am confident that I can make informed decisions that will positively impact our city's growth and quality of life,” Rodriguez said.

O’Connor moved to Cape Coral 49 years ago with the last nine years spent in District 4. A retired FedEx Corporation employee, he is currently a commercial real estate advisor.

“Circumstances dictate for this position to be filled. I feel my experience of five years on the Cape Coral Planning and Zoning Commission and one year on the Cape Coral Affordable Housing Advisory Committee have given me an insight into the city’s governance, though I am aware there is a lot more to being on City Council,” O’Connor said.

If selected to fill the vacancy, he said he will bring representation to the people in District 4 and a willingness to work with council and the mayor in doing what is best for Cape Coral.

“Having lived in Cape Coral for almost 50 years, I have obviously seen tremendous growth and change. I would be honored to serve in a place I call home,” O’Connor said.

Cape Council to discuss ecotourism

By MEGHAN BRADBURY

news@breezenewspapers.com

The sole discussion point for the City Council this morning workshop will center around ecotourism at city parks.

According to the presentation, the city Parks Administration Department recommends entering into a public/private partnership.

Currently the city has a kayak shack at Four Mile Cove Ecological Park with hours of operation from November through May from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There are two contract center attendants that staff the kayak shack, as well as two full-time Rotary Park staff that handle the logistics of managing the rental program and lead guided paddle tours.

The park offers kayak rentals and guided moonlight and daytime paddle tours.

The presentation shares options of expanding the city’s services – offering a similar program using in-house staff to operate and manage, or enter into a private/public partnership.

There will also be discussion about the kiosk vending machine, which according to the presentation, “any livery offering vessels for lease or rent must ensure that all individuals who rent or lease a vessel, as well as each potential operator of a rented or leased vessel have received pre-rental and pre-ride instruction in the following topics prior to operation – operator responsibility, including ethics, courtesy and good judgement on the water.”

The meeting will be in City Council chambers, 1015 Cultural Park Blvd., today, following the Community Redevelopment Agency meeting at 9 a.m.

most.”

Among the items auctioned off were a diamond bracelet valued at $37,000 and sold for a record $25,000 and artwork from Myra Roberts valued at $16,000 and sold for $6,500. There was a reserve on those items that required them to be sold at a minimum. Also sold were jewelry, trips, spirits and special events.

There were numerous silent auction items and also a one-to-one match by two benefactors for every dollar raised at the auction, up to $55,000, which was accomplished and then some.

The big winners were the animals who wait from a permanent home, some of whom have been cared for at ARC for years, as well as those who give them their permanent homes.

That includes Larry Denmark, from Cape Coral, who adopted Bean, an 11-year-old black lab, who had lived there for years and was very wary of humans.

Denmark did not give up on Bean, who loves black labs and wanted to take the animal home with him.

“If she could have come through the fence, she would’ve eaten me. It took two weeks of me coming there almost every day, sitting outside her kennel, giving her treats and earning her trust,” Denmark said. “After two

weeks she finally let me pet her. I finally put a leash on her, walked her and we’ve been best friends ever since.”

Rob Spicker, vice president at ARC and the evening’s auctioneer, was very pleased with how everything turned out.

“I’m thrilled we were able to sell both items that were at a reserve. One of them for a record amount of $25,000.

It was quite a night,” Spicker said. “We made about a quarter of our budget which sets us up to be in a good place to take care of the cats and dogs for the next year.”

Wayne Leinen, president of ARC, was also happy with the auction and how it will help them accomplish their mission, adding he believes the total will be a record.

“This was a record breaker, hands down. We have never raised so much money. When we think we hit the pinnacle last year, the next year people come out and support us even more,” Leinen said.

ARC is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter which provides a clean, safe environment for dogs and cats until a loving and permanent home can be found for homeless, abandoned and neglected animals in Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties.

ARC is located at 18011 Old Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers. For more information, go to animalrefugecenter.com.

Verot football team falls in regional final Turnovers hinder Vikings in 38-32 loss to Booker

By CJ HADDAD

cjhaddad@breezenewspapers.com

In what was a true battle from start to finish, Bishop Verot's season came to an end Friday night, dropping a heartbreaker in the regional final at home to Booker, 38-32.

The No.1 seeded Vikings (11-2) turned the ball over seven times against the No. 7 seeded Tornadoes (9-4), which took down the top three teams in the region, all on the road, to claim the FHSAA 2S Region 4 title and advance to the state Final Four.

“I fell happy for our kids, our community -- I'm overwhelmed with emotion,” said Booker head coach Scottie Littles. “We take over a 1-20 program, and year two, we're regional champs. I guess we can say Booker is back now.

“To come in here, and beat (Verot), who is a state championship team, and beat the number one seed and be a regional champ -- I don't know what to say, but I'm happy.”

A record-setting Vikings offense lead by a record-setting junior quarterback in Carter Smith, who recently committed to Michigan, took a quarter to feel out a Tornado defense that were getting pressure in the backfield.

After a scoreless first quarter, Booker drew first blood three minutes into the second as Kevontay Hugan broke into the end zone from 2 yards out. The Tornadoes turned Verot over on downs as the Vikings threatened in opponent territory, but could not convert the drive into points.

The Vikings answered quickly with a short rushing touchdown after driving, as Smith got behind his offensive line for the Verot version of the “tush push,” leading to a 1-yard score.

The Vikings defense helped produce a lead as Dwyer Cameron tackled a Booker runner in the end zone for a safety, resulting in a 10-7 advantage.

The upcoming drive for Verot's offense proved costly, as a Smith pass was tipped and intercepted by Hugan, who returned it 43 yards to the house to give Booker the lead once more.

Smith's third interception of the game occurred just before the half on the Booker goal line, as a rocket of a pass went through his receiver's hands and into Jason Thomas’ to preserve a 14-10 lead at the break.

A high-scoring, back-and-forth third quarter ensued, and it was Verot that came out of the gates firing. A Tookie Watts kickoff return set up the Vikings in opponent territory, and a few plays later, Smith ran around the right end for 11 yards and a touchdown.

On Booker's ensuing drive, a turnover again proved costly for the offense, as Viking Jeremiah Dean picked up a fumble and

returned it 45 yards to the house, putting Verot up 25-14 early in the third.

The Tornadoes would not give in despite a huge shift in momentum, and rode the running game all night. Josiah Booker, who lead all Booker backs with 95 rushing yards, made his best effort of the night weaving through and evading Viking tacklers for a 28-yard touchdown with 5:28 to play in the third to make it a one-score game again.

The first play for Verot on its next drive saw a fumble on the quarterback-running back exchange, setting up the Tornadoes on the Viking 1-yard line.

Hugan got the call on and gave Booker the lead, 29-25, with the 1-yard rush.

Another lead change came just 2:30 later, as Smith recorded his third score of the night, a 3-yard run where he put his shoulder down and muscled his way into the end zone giving Verot a 32-29 lead.

With just four passing attempts all game, the Booker offense continued to feature four different backs the all contributed to moving the ball positively (266 total rushing yards).

Early in the fourth quarter, the Tornadoes tied it as Oswaldo Mendoza-Munoz drilled a 25-yard field goal -- far from his last action of the night.

The Vikings turned the ball over again on the ensuing drive, as a wide receiver was stripped of the ball. A Verot personal foul after the play set up Booker in opponent territory.

While the Vikings held Booker out of the end zone, MendozaMunoz went to work again, in wet conditions, hitting s 38-yard field goal to give his team. 35-32 lead.

A major error for Verot happened on the following kickoff, as a Viking returner was lackadaisical getting to a downed football, that was eventually recovered by a Booker player.

It was Mendoza-Munoz again, in the rain, drilling. 39-yard field goal to put Booker up 38-32 with 3:58 remaining.

“It's his first year playing football, and those were some clutch kicks, in the rain,” Littles said.

As it had all night, the turnover bug once again struck the Vikings. As Verot was driving down the field and into the red zone, Booker forced a fumble and recovered with 1:25 to play inside its own 15-yard line.

“The defense was lights out,” Littles said. “Our kids showed up in the biggest moment.”

A first down later, the Tornadoes took a knee and escaped yet another road clash with a monumental victory.

“I told somebody this week...we've got a group of kids from Sarasota that are going to come in here and be scrappy and fight, ain't gonna back down from nobody,” Littles said. “They care

Delegation: County mayor, merger proposals set for discussion From page 1 create an elected county mayor. State Rep. Adam Botana (R-80), whose district covers Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs, Estero and Sanibel, has proposed the legislation to expand the Board of County Commissioners. Botana’s bill would also expand the county commission to a sixth single-member district for a total of eight seats once Lee County’s population surpasses 1 million residents. The chair of the board would be required to be elected by all residents.

Currently, county voters elect five commissioners through their districts to the commission and the commissioners appoint a county manager who answers to the board. Lee County Manager Dave Harner succeeded longtime County Manager Roger Desjarlais in August. A new elected county mayor would change the county government into a system where the county mayor would have more power over decisions while drawing power away from the county commissioners and county managers.

Under Giallombardo’s bill, the county mayor would gain the executive powers and responsibilities, away from the commissioners. Among the new powers of the county mayor would be the ability to fire staff in the executive branch at will and limit employee contracts. The bill also makes the office of the hearing examiner to review zoning cases in unincorporated Lee County, a part of the legislative branch of county government.

The county mayor would also have the ability to veto legislation by the commissioners.

A referendum could be held as early as Nov. 5, 2024. If voters approve the establishment of the county mayor position, the first special election for a county mayor would take place in November 2026 with a two-year term. The county mayor would appoint the county manager and county attorney with a three-fifths vote by the county commissioners.

Commissioner Cecil Pendergrass (R-

District 2), whose district covers Fort Myers, led opposition to the proposal after being approached about it by one of the county’s state legislators.

Commissioner Brian Hamman (RDistrict 4), whose district includes Cape Coral and Fort Myers, has made statements supportive of the concept and was the lone vote against issuing a letter of opposition to the proposed bill.

On Monday, Hamman said, “I have always supported the voters and their right to determine the structure of their government. Should the question appear on the ballot, I will support whatever the voters decide.”

Commissioners were sharply divided during a debate last month on the subject.

Pendergrass said, “It’s really important to protect Lee County that we bring this up now so it’s not brought up without us knowing about it in the future.”

At the October meeting, Hamman said, “I think we are actually searching for a problem here that doesn’t need to be solved right now. I don’t understand why we would put this on the radar of the delegation if it’s not something that they are already looking at you know. The other question that I would ask is what would be the actual consequence or reaction to passing this resolution? I don’t know that by passing this resolution the delegation would just say ‘Oh, they didn’t like it so we are not going to do it.’ Typically, resolutions and letters haven’t swayed or been persuasive to delegations in the past.”

Hamman said the county commissioners needed to go into the legislative session unified to work together with the state delegation to bring back Hurricane Ian funds to the community and “not get distracted.”

Hamman said the issue should be up to the voters. “The voters of Lee County voted in a charter for their board of county commissioners and they voted in a charter with the current setup that it has but should they ever want to change it, it will be the voters of Lee County who want to change that as well,” he said.

The county could change its executive

form of government through a charter review commission, by a petition of voters or by a vote of the commissioners, Hamman said.

“I would certainly hope that if the delegation wanted to bring this forward, they would give the commissioners or the charter review commission or even the citizens a chance to use the current process to amend the charter without doing it through legislation,” Hamman said.

Commissioner Mike Greenwell (RDistrict 5), who was recently elevated to chairman of the board in the commission’s annual rotation process, said it was important for the commissioners to get its message out.

“I don’t believe in adding another layer to government,” Greenwell said. “We elect five commissioners across the county.”

Greenwell said a new elected county mayor would make it “more difficult” to get things done and would take power away from the commissioners.

Pendergrass noted that the county commissioners each selected three representatives to the county charter review commission which has been meeting and did not act to change the county’s form of government.

“I’m not sure why this one issue about our form of government would be an issue for the (state) delegation,” Pendergrass said. “I know one person wants to see that changed but I’m not going to set policy based on one person’s personal objectives.”

Rep. Giallombardo did not return a message seeking comment.

Lee County Commissioner Ray Sandelli (R-District 3), whose district includes Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs and Estero, said the county’s “system works.”

Sandelli said, “It goes back to if it’s not broken what are you trying to fix? The second thing is we are seeing division at almost every level from the federal level to the state level down to the local level.”

Sandelli said, “I think it’s important that we do state a position going forward.”

Hamman said, “90% of the time the

system works really well but I would also say that my personal experience and now having been able to serve people on the county commission for 10 years, is that there are times when the system really breaks down. There are times when an appointed person who doesn’t seem to have their finger fully on the pulse of the residents would make decisions more from a bureaucratic mindset than a mindset of reaction to the voters. I think evidence of that is how Gov. DeSantis had to step (after Hurricane Ian) in to build the Matlacha Bridge.”

Pendergrass said the Matlacha Bridge issue was more about funding and jurisdiction of the waterways.

Hamman said there were initiatives he wanted to push that didn’t go far because of disagreements with a county manager.

“I am always open minded,” Hamman said. “To just take a blanket statement without ever exploring anything, to me I think that is short-sighted. You can always have a workshop on something, understand it, and then say no to it.”

Botana’s legislation would also limit the commissioners to three terms on the board.

The fire district and mosquito control district mergers had been previously discussed at the last state delegation meeting in October though the fire control district merger bill proposed by Rep. Botana that was to join Fort Myers Beach with Bonita Springs, now also includes the IonaMcGregor Fire & Rescue Control District.

The original proposal was opposed by the Fort Myers Beach Board of Fire Commissioners, Fort Myers Beach Council and the firefighter unions representing Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Springs.

Botana had originally proposed that the bills didn’t require a referendum even though state law requires local referendums to involuntarily merge special districts. Botana’s new bill would require a referendum. State law also requires study of the effects of the merger, which has not yet occurred.

Verot: Visiting Booker squad defeats Vikings, 38-32, in regional final From page 3 about the name on the front of their jersey, they care about the man next to them, and they went out there and did it, man. They can't take out banner for us, and the job ain't done.”

Booker held the Verot passing game to just 95 yards, with Verot having more success on the ground, totaling 292 yards.

Viking head coach Richie Rode, of the game, said, “We knew it was going to be a good team. We knew how hot they were.

It's hard to beat anybody (with how much we turned the ball over). I didn't do a very good job with school off, and going into a

regional championship. We just weren't ready. We played a little bit lackluster.

“But the kids played hard and fought to the end. It was never in doubt of whether we would continue to fight and battle and play to the end.”

Rode said he was proud of the way his defense played, coming up with turnovers and scoring play of its own, and was put back onto the field suddenly too many times throughout the game.

He speculated there could have been some thinking ahead or being a little complacent. Verot had made the Final Four last year, and will have to meddle with a tough exit one game earlier this time around.

These feelings, though, can be fuel for a fire next season.

“We're going to use this to build upon for sure,” Rode said. “There's only a handful of teams who get to end the year without this feeling. It doesn't take away from what these young men accomplished this year. It doesn't take away from the ability they have, and what they've done, and the historic year they had.”
