Board discusses film‑shoot requests; volunteer offers to build film‑office guide
Summary
Staff said a production inquiry prompted a review of permit and location rules; a board member volunteered to create a small production guide and drone footage repository to support location scouts, pending city authorization and training.
Staff told the board a production team asked to shoot in Fort Myers and staff is confirming whether the requested locations are inside city limits and whether street‑closure permits will be needed.
A board member volunteered to compile a mini production website and location guide using volunteered drone footage, citing prior experience setting up a film office. Staff said volunteers could be authorized after a brief training and that the volunteer would be routed to the appropriate PIO/IT contacts for credentialing. The board agreed staff should coordinate any volunteer work with the city manager and legal counsel before the volunteer begins populating city systems.
