Board reviews gatehouse renovations, backup well and flags ~$2.5M loan need
Summary
Supervisors reviewed a revised Long Range Plan outlining gatehouse and monument replacement estimates, a nearly completed backup irrigation well costing $291,500, and staff said CIP changes will likely require a construction loan of about $2.5 million.
Eric Long reviewed the revised Long Range Plan and provided cost updates for several capital projects. He said the Traffic Calming Project (radar sign and camera) was completed at a cost of $26,739 and that "The cost of the additional well is $291,500," which is near completion; the CDD expects the new well to become the primary well after testing and a casing repair to the secondary well.
Long also confirmed monument and gatehouse estimates: the estimate to replace four monuments remains $250,000, and gatehouse renovation estimates are $615,775 for Fiscal Year 2026 and $407,240 for Fiscal Year 2027. He told the Board that changes to the capital improvement plan will necessitate "a loan of approximately $2.5 million." Staff will coordinate water-quality tests and FPL transformer replacements scheduled at no cost to the CDD.
Mr. Krebs will submit permit applications for the monuments and gatehouses to the Village of Estero; staff noted VOE approval for the stormwater permit is in hand while SFWMD approval is pending.
