Commissioners agree to support Leadership Lee County "Mustard Seed" picnic table project
Summary
During the work session, commissioners discussed contributions to the Leadership Lee County 'Mustard Seed' project; one commissioner offered to cover $2,500 and said they could contribute up to $5,000 if the project requested more.
During the Lee County Commission pre-meeting, commissioners and staff discussed supporting the Leadership Lee County 25/26 class "Mustard Seed" picnic table project.
One participant said the class asked for $2,500 for the picnic-table initiative. A commission participant (speaker 3) said they had asked staff to send the application and planned to cover the $2,500, adding "I'd be willing to give up to, like, 5,000 of my if they need more." Other commissioners suggested splitting the initial request into $500 contributions from several members; several agreed to provide $500 apiece if the donor chose to share the amount.
The applicant's request will be handled through the usual application process; one speaker said staff (Holly) will be asked to send the application and that a check could be cut as soon as paperwork is complete. No formal motion or recorded vote on the donation appears in the transcript.
