Comments for Public Hearing items will be heard during the Public Hearing agenda item. Former Councilman Johnny W. Streets, Jr. expressed deep appreciation for the Fort Myers and Eastwood golf courses, emphasizing their historical significance and suggesting that raising rates might diminish their inclusive community value. He urged the council to reconsider the proposed price increase and instead explore a rollback or more affordable alternative to preserve access for longtime senior golfers. Jim Frasar acknowledged the need for rate increases but warned that doubling fees for county members could drive away many senior golfers who are on fixed incomes. He emphasized the economic benefit these golfers bring to the city and asked the council to reconsider .

Minutes - City Council Regular Meeting July 21, 2025 2 I Page Michael Ferrara expressed concern over the affordability of doubling membership fees, especially for seniors living on fixed incomes like Social Security and non-adjusted pensions. He stated that many elderly players would no longer be able to afford to play. Jim Johnson highlighted his long history with the Fort Myers courses and the vital role they play in senior life and community. He praised the staff and maintenance but cautioned that significant price increases could force many older players like himself, living on Social Security, to give up the game due to financial strain. Willieyam Joe Shotmiller requested clarification on items 7.19 and 7.20 concerning investment land and whether the City is purchasing the property. Letter from Former Councilman Forrest Banks (Read into the record by City Clerk Hagemann). Forrest Banks acknowledged the need to raise golf rates but strongly advocated for reconsidering the steep increase specifically for the 77 nine-month county members, most of whom are elderly and retired public servants. He suggested a modest increase to retain participation without causing unnecessary loss in revenue or community impact. 3.

Minutes - City Council Regular Meeting July 21, 2025 6 I Page MOTION: Councilperson Watkins Brown moved to approve the Consent Agenda with the exception of Item 3.35; seconded by Councilperson Bonk; motion carried unanimously. REGULAR AGENDA 3.35 Amendment No. 4 . in the amount of $27 , 589.87 , increasin g the contract amount from $1, 053 ,355.09 to $1, 080 ,944.96, to RF O No. 0025-19 , Design of the John Yarbrou gh Linear Park Multi-Use Trail Extension (JYLP). providing for additional JYLP Post Desi gn services involving armorin g design of the Ten Mile Canal, with Kising er Cam po & Associates , Co rp (Ward 3 & 5) (Nicole Setzer , Public Works ) Councilperson Giraldo asked if the John Yarbrough Linear Park (JYLP) Multi-Use Trail Extension bridge design will include fixing the 10 Mile Canal Bridge area where the sidewalk becomes a shoulder on both sides of Colonial Boulevard and pedestrians and bicyclers must go near the cars to get around it. Nicole Setzer, City Engineer, replied that the project is to build a bridge over Colonial Boulevard to continue the JYLP and does not provide a separate pedestrian bicycle facility at the 10 Mile Canal Bridge. Councilperson Giraldo asked how the issue at the 10 Mile Canal Bridge on Colonial Boulevard can be addressed during the JYLP project. Ms. Setzer replied that Colonial Boulevard is a State Road so the 10 Mile Canal Bridge issue is not part of the City's JYLP project scope of work as the funding for the JYLP has a very defined scope of work. A request will need to be made to the State to fix the 10 Mile Canal Bridge issue. Councilperson Giraldo requested that the City ask the State to address the 10 Mile Canal Bridge safety issue and incorporated it in the work on the JYLP project. City Manager Lawing noted that the City will request the State to fix the 10 Mile Canal Bridge issue, however it takes time to get a project programmed, scheduled, and funded so it would probably not align with the schedule for the JYLP project. Councilperson Burson conveyed that the JYLP design work started in 201 7 and asked what has been done over the last eight years for the cost and when it will be complete . Ms . Setzer replied that 2017 was the inception of the project that began the planning stage which was included in the total amount of funds spent. This amendment, in the amount of $27,589.87, is pertaining to a maintenance issue after the JYLP is constructed between Lee County and the City. Bidding for construction will begin before the end of 2025, the construction will begin in early 2026, and it is potentially a two year construction. MOTION: Councilperson Watkins Brown moved to approve Amendment No. 4, in the amount of $27,589.87, increasing the contract amount from $1,053,355.09 to $1,080,944.96, to RFQ No. 0025-19, Design of the John Yarbrough Linear Park Multi-Use Trail Extension (JYLP), providing for additional JYLP Post Design services involving armoring design of the Ten Mile Canal, with Kisinger Campo & Associates, Corp; seconded by Councilperson Bonk; motion carried 5-2. Councilperson Bochette and Councilperson Burson opposed.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS AND ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION 4.1 Discuss the acce p tance of a Hurricane Ian Memorial Pla q ue to be p laced in Ci ty hall (May or Anderson } Mayor Anderson stated that over a year ago students from Canterbury School approached the Council about their fund-raising efforts to create a Hurricane Ian Memorial Plaque to be placed at Centennial Park. Centennial Park is currently under maintenance, and they have proposed to place the plaque in the City Hall lobby rather than Centennial Park. MOTION: Councilperson Watson moved to approve the acceptance of the Hurricane Ian Memorial Plaque to be placed in City Hall; seconded by Councilperson Watkins Brown; motion carried unanimously. 4.2 Discuss honora ry street namin g of Edison Avenue from Euclid Avenue to Lane Avenue . in honor of Charlotte Rafferty. former p rinci p al of Edison Park Creative and Expressive Arts School (Mayor Anderson } Mayor Anderson stated that Charlotte Rafferty was the founder and principal of Edison Park Creative and Expressive Arts School and recently passed away. Several constituents have asked about honorarily naming Edison Avenue from Euclid Avenue to Lane Avenue behind the school in her honor. Councilperson Bochette asked if the honorary street name program has been paused. City Manager Lawing replied that the program has been paused so that the policy can be revised by the Community Development Department in which a draft will be brought forward to Council soon. Mayor Anderson noted that the concern with the old policy was whether the people honorarily named after them could still be living or must be deceased. MOTION: Councilperson Watkins Brown moved to approve moving forward with the advertising of the honorary street naming of Edison Avenue from Euclid Avenue to Lane Avenue, in honor of Charlotte Rafferty, former principal of Edison Park Creative and Expressive Arts School; seconded by Councilperson Bonk; motion carried unanimously. 4.3 Distribution of May or's Neighborhood Im p rovement funds , in the amount of $ 5 ,000.00 , to the Calusa Nature Center (May or Anderson } Mayor Anderson noted that the Calusa Nature Center Executive Director confirmed that a donor will match this contribution. MOTION: Councilperson Bochette moved to approve the distribution of Mayor's Neighborhood Improvement funds, in the amount of $5,000.00, to the Calusa Nature Center; seconded by Councilperson Bonk; motion carried unanimously. 4.4 Distribution of Ward 1 discretion ary funds , in the amount of $ 500.00 . to Ci ty of Fort My ers Em ploy ees' Sp ecial Events Committee (Council p erson Watkins Brown )

MOTION: Councilperson Bonk moved to approve the appointment of Diana Giraldo as a member to the Lee County Homeless Continuum of Care Governing Board; seconded by Councilperson Burson; motion carried unanimously. 4. 7 Discuss Bicycle and Pedestrian Adviso ry Board attendance re q uirements {Councilmember Giraldo } Councilperson Giraldo stated that the attendance language in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board Ordinance has some discrepancies, and the Board is asking to change the language to a 70% attendance requirement in which if they fail to attend three consecutive meetings they can be removed from the Board. Mayor Anderson asked for the current attendance requirement. City Attorney Alley replied that the Ordinance language states: if any member fails to attend 75% of all meetings held during any calendar year, the member's seat shall be declared as vacant by the Chair of the Board and such a vacancy shall be reported in writing to the City Clerk and such vacancy shall be filled as provided in this section. He suggested the language change be clear stating that if any member misses three, or any number the Board wishes, meetings in a calendar year they can be removed from the Board. Mayor Anderson suggested that since the members are appointed by Council Members, that the Council Members are advised by the Clerk that their appointee is at risk of losing their board seat due to absences so they can reach out to them as well. Lilliana Baker, Deputy City Clerk, stated that some boards already have that attendance language already in their ordinance and the staff board administrator or liaison will notify the Clerk's Office when a board member fails to attend two meetings. The Clerk's Office will then reach out to the board member and advise them that if they miss a third meeting their seat will be declared vacant.

Minutes - City Council Regular Meeting July 21, 2025 9 I Page Councilperson Watkins Brown noted that her appointed board member on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board also requested that the attendance requirements be changed so that a quorum is guaranteed for each meeting. Mayor Anderson conveyed that there is a consensus of an attendance requirement of three missed meetings in a year and after a member misses two meetings they are notified, by either the Clerk's office or the Council Member that appointed the member. Councilperson Giraldo mentioned that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board Ordinance states that the Board's Chair can remove the person due to their attendance, however, this can result in a challenging issue. She suggested that it would be better for the member to be notified by the Clerk's Office and or the Council Member that appointed the member. City Attorney Alley asked if this discussion applies to all the Board and Committees or just the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board and the Council agreed to all Boards and Committees. Mayor Anderson requested that this discussion be added to a future Work Session agenda to review all Board and Committee attendance requirements to come up with the best option. 4 .8 App oint Donald Lutz to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Adviso ry Board , term effective July 2 1, 2025 . throu gh Jul y 20 , 2028 (Council p erson Giraldo) MOTION: Councilperson Giraldo moved to approve the appointment of Donald Lutz to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board, term effective July 21, 2025, through July 20, 2028; seconded by Councilperson Bonk; motion carried unanimously. 4.9 Rea pp oint Ly nn Stewart to the Historic Preservation Commission , term effective Jul y 21 , 2025 . throu gh Jul y 20 , 2028 {Council p erson Giraldo) MOTION: Councilperson Giraldo moved to approve the reappointment of Lynn Stewart to the Historic Preservation Commission, term effective July 21, 2025, through July 20, 2028; seconded by Councilperson Bochette; motion carried unanimously. 4 . 10 Discussion of SHIP fundin g for 1942 Cox St , Fort My ers , FL 33916 {Council p erson Giraldo) Councilperson Giraldo stated that the challenge with this location was brought to the attention of the Council during its regular meeting on June 2, 2025, and since then it has been discovered that the property has been associated with over 138 documented criminal activity incidents since 2020. She was contacted by two residents regarding this location, and at the time of the calls, she was unaware it was not in her Ward. The challenge is using taxpayer money to fund rebuilding projects where criminal activity takes place or the person requesting the funding is committing criminal activities. She suggested putting policy and processes in place and having police department involvement so these types of system issues will not take place in the future. Councilperson Watkins Brown conveyed that the property in question is in her Ward, and she has been in contact with the Community Development Housing and Real Estate Department for some time to vet the issue brought forward by residents. She agreed

Minutes - City Council Regular Meeting July 21, 2025 10 I Page that a policy needs to be created addressing this type of issue. Councilperson Watson felt that getting the police department involved in house rehabilitation or State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funding may not be necessary, and if it is, there should be restrictions. Councilperson Giraldo asked if there is anything that can be put in the housing rehabilitation contracts moving forward about criminal activity at the location there will be enforcement from the City. Mayor Anderson recommended a policy be presented to the Council at a workshop for further discussion. MOTION: Councilperson Giraldo moved to approve creating a policy that addresses a proper vetting system for future State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) rehabilitation projects and bring forward to a future Work Session; seconded by Councilperson Burson; motion carried unanimously. 4.11 Distribution of Ward 4 discretion ary funds , in the amount of $ 500.00 , to Edison Sailin g Center (Council p erson Bochette} Councilperson Bochette reported that the Edison Sailing Center is hosting the United States Sailing Federation in January 2026.

Councilperson Watson was not present for the vote. 4.12 Distribution of Ward 4 discretiona ry funds , in the amount of $ 400.00 , to Uncommon Friends Foundation (Council p erson Bochette } MOTION: Councilperson Bochette moved to approve the distribution of Ward 4 discretionary funds, in the amount of $400. 00, to Uncommon Friends Foundation; seconded by Councilperson Watkins Brown; motion carried: 6-0. Councilperson Watson was not present for the vote. 4.13 Discuss the ri ght to vote for Committee / Adviso ry Board members (Council p erson Bochette \ Councilperson Bochette read Robert's Rules of Order: An alternate member can only vote when a regular member is absent, and the alternate is officially designated to fill that specific member's place. Alternates typically have a predefined role and are not automatically granted voting rights. They can only vote when they are actively substituting for the regular member. He felt that not all Boards and Committees are following this rule. City Manager Lawing replied that Robert's Rules reads that the alternate member only fills in for an absent member, however, the City has allowed alternate members to participate even with all the regular members in attendance. Mayor Anderson requested that the City Attorney and the City Clerk ensure that the policy is in effect and the Board and Committee chairs are aware of how to handle the

Minutes - City Council Regular Meeting July 21, 2025 11 I Page absence of a regular member. City Attorney Alley replied that the language could be clarified in each board or committee's ordinance. Councilperson Giraldo mentioned that when someone is appointed to a board or committee, there is no on board guidance on the processes of what can and cannot be done which must be addressed as it creates confusion of the board members' responsibilities . 4.14 Review of Cleveland Avenue si gn ordinance (Council p erson Bochette l Councilperson Bochette requested adding this topic as a discussion item on a future City Council Work Session agenda. 4.15 Rea pp oint Cyn thia Conners to the Code Enforcement Board . re p resentin g Ward 5 , term effective July 2 1, 2025 , throu gh Jul y 20 , 2028 (Council p erson Burson ) MOTION: Councilperson Burson moved to approve the reappointment of Cynthia Conners to the Code Enforcement Board, representing Ward 5, term effective July 21, 2025, through July 20, 2028; seconded by Councilperson Bonk; motion carried: 6-0.
