The study explored residents’ opinions about what Estero should convey to residents and visitors about its “Sense of Place.” Estero may not be well positioned in the minds of its citizens or visitors. It needs distinction! Estero’s “Sense of Place\,” or brand\, should convey a favorable character\, culture\, and attractive image to visitors and its citizens so said survey respondents. \nThe study also explored what priorities the Village should focus on. Details of the survey results and the winners of the Sense of Place competition will be announced\, along with a statement describing Estero’s Sense of Place and other findings relating to the priorities residents would like to see addressed by the Village. \nSpeaker:  Allan Bowditch\, Engage Estero’s Chief Communications Officer.

SUMMARY:Village Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Among the items to be discussed \n\nA resolution allowing the Village Manager to submit a Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Grant Fund application for the utility extension projects for Charing Cross\, Estero Bay Village\, Sandy Lane\, See See Street\, Estero River Heights\, Sherrill Lane\, Luettich Lane\, and Broadway Avenue.\nA resolution allowing Village Manager Steven Sarkozy to submit proposed projects to the Lee County Hurricane Ian Recovery and Resiliency program\, which would also allow him to accept and authorize these grants for use on Village projects.\nA resolution supporting the Bonita-Estero Rail Trail (BERT) project\, which would authorize Sarkozy to approve a $5 million appropriation from the Estero Capital Improvement Program for the purchase of a section of the Seminole Rail Line. This move also allows the Village Manager to submit funding requests to various county\, state\, and local government agencies\, with the $5 million serving as the “match” to any grants requiring one.\nA second reading of an ordinance that would amend the Commercial Planned Development Zoning for the Bella Terra community to allow for a wireless communication facility and cell tower on land located at the front of the community. This item was deferred from the April 17 meeting.
