Youth Council Meeting - November 13, 2026

The Cape Coral Youth Council’s regular meeting on November 13, 2026, focused on youth programs, fundraising, and upcoming events. Members approved December 2 for their next quarterly report presentation and February 18, 2027, for a career fair, with members to identify and track prospective career-exhibitor contacts. The council also approved a December 12 car wash fundraiser at City Hall, setting the price at $8 per car; the event remains subject to city approval. Other fundraising options discussed included restaurant partnerships, concession work, and donations toward the youth conference, whose projected cost was about $2,000 per student. A possible $400,000, one-year youth mental-health pilot was raised as a future request to City Council, not as an approved allocation.

In a report on the October 21 City Council meeting, members noted that Resolution 302-26 approving an incentive agreement with Costco passed 7–1, and a grant agreement for the Cape Coral Police Department’s marine law-enforcement program was approved, with the transcript’s dollar amount garbled. Ordinance 58-26, a fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment covering previously approved youth-council items and other operating and capital adjustments, passed 5–3. These were reported actions from the earlier City Council meeting; no new contract award or procurement approval was identified at the November 13 Youth Council meeting.
