Board reviews long‑range plan; gatehouse, monuments and well projects require permits and bidding
Summary
The Board reviewed a revised long‑range plan that includes completed traffic calming ($26,739), a nearly completed $291,500 backup irrigation well, monument replacements ($250,000 estimate) and gatehouse renovation costs that will require sealed bidding; CIP changes may require a ~$2.5 million loan.
Eric Long presented a revised Long Range Plan and reported that a traffic calming project (radar sign and camera) was completed at $26,739. He said a backup irrigation well costing $291,500 is near completion and that staff expects pump installation within weeks and subsequent water quality testing.
Long also reviewed estimated costs for monument replacement ($250,000) and gatehouse renovations (estimated $615,775 for FY2026 and $407,240 for FY2027). He said gatehouse projects exceed the $550,000 sealed‑bid threshold and that permits will be submitted to the Village of Estero; SFWMD approval for the stormwater management element is still pending. Long stated the CIP change will likely necessitate a construction loan of approximately $2.5 million.
