John Goodrich, ECCL Incorporation Committee Chair, informs residents of Estero, "The House Local and Federal Affairs Committee voted favorably for the Local Bill for a vote on incorporating Estero." We're on our way to Independence Day!!! "Almost overwhelming the citizens attending wanted the mayor to be elected at large and not appointed and the council members to be elected within their district "...Mike St. JohnThe Vote Estero Board agreed with the ECCL, that any effort to change the Charter should wait until after the bill is passed and incorporation is passed by the residents of Estero.
The residents of Estero exercised their 1st amendment, the right to assemble, and they did with civility and dignity. Estero epitomizes the true meaning of "unity in the community"!!! Mr. Larry Newell, wants to understand, "why the folks of Estero, are not given the right to vote for their mayor, if we become a municipality".... see Mr. Newell's plea, and you decide
The Folks of both The Colony and Pelican Landing, voted against the Bonita Springs Annexation Referendum. "We're staying in Estero" !
VisitEstero spoke with Rep. Rodrigues' office to get some insight as to where the bill is, that is, in the process. It has been drafted, edited and is onto supervisor review, then goes to release for approval, from Representative Rodrigues. Moves along to 1-3 committees and sub-committees.... Let's hope it doesn't get stopped, before it goes to the floor. Follow Rep. Rodrigues Bill's at MyFloridaHouse.com... Bills.....
Kudos to John Goodrich and his team..... read entire report
There have been two meetings in Pelican Landing with Mayor Nelson and Jack Lienesch speaking about the pros and cons of annexation/incorporation. There will be two more forums for the entire Pelican Landing community, one on Jan. 6 and a final one on Feb. 7.
The Colony has a forum scheduled on Jan. 10 at the Bay Club. Jack will be the moderator, Don will represent Estero and Mayor Nelson will represent Bonita. Don has been working with the leaders in The Colony regarding the annexation and incorporation issue. The County has told the City of Bonita Springs they don’t have enough consent forms on file for the annexation referendum. The City is working to rectify this. Jack Lienesch &Don Eslick |
