# 11/03/26 BoCC Regular Meeting

The Lee County Board of County Commissioners’ regular meeting was held November 3, 2026. Procurement and funding discussions included a proposed award of up to $9.75 million in CDBG-DR funds to Community Housing and Resources for the Riverview 2 project, which would create 39 affordable rental units on Sanibel with a 30-year affordability period. The board did not make a final award: it continued the item to a December meeting and directed a commissioner to seek further assurances from the City of Sanibel regarding its role as subrecipient. Commissioners also discussed up to $160,000 in construction inspection services for repainting and minor repairs to the Gladiolus and Summerlin overpasses, a roughly $700,000 construction project. Staff said night inspections were needed for traffic safety and paint-quality requirements; a motion and second to approve the services were made, but the transcript does not capture the vote. A proposed Lee County Utilities rate-schedule revision to support operations and capital projects was heard, with a motion to approve; the recorded excerpt does not show the vote outcome. A landfill-related pre-contract item involving the Okeechobee landfill was also discussed, with a commissioner expressing support.

Other board actions included approval of corrections to consent item C34 and approval of a consent item establishing boat-slip credit-transfer procedures, which drew criticism over potential speculation. The board adopted a Gasparilla Island parking-ordinance amendment after public comment, and approved the Southeast Lee land-development-code amendments with one objection. No other contract award or procurement decision is clearly documented in the transcript.
