Summary
Mayor John Gunter announced the raising of a 250-foot freestanding flag at Bernice Braden Park on July 4 to mark America’s 250th anniversary, and urged residents to use parks and support city priorities including public safety, infrastructure, and responsible growth.
Mayor John Gunter opened a brief July message to Cape Coral residents, saying, "Hi, Cape Coral. I'm mayor John Gunter," and announcing that the city raised a 250-foot freestanding flag at Bernice Braden Park on July 4.

He closed by saying it was an honor to serve as mayor and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to celebrate this chapter in Cape Coral City's story.
No formal actions, motions, or votes were announced in the message.
