“I'd like to echo both those sentiments. It was fantastic, the E Awards. I am so proud of our town. Out of all the towns, cities, and municipalities in Lee County, we had the most nominations, and that says a lot for our service. It's a great reflection on you, Will. I mean, great. It was an honor to be there and to represent Fort Myers Beach. I'd also like to thank the Chinovskys, and as well the peer committee. It started as Let's Go FMB, and the peer committee just took off and ran with it. And if you can see what unity can do, working together, and Alan and his wife are for sure the MVPs,…”

“Scott? Yeah, I think he's correct about the blocks. It's got to be a little bit deeper. I'm going to take his word for it. Yeah, I've got my grandkids coming to town this week. I wish we could go there. Soon enough. From a timeline standpoint, if you guys can get together with BORCAB and make some refinements and then assuming everything's afloat, what's kind of your plan? target date for completion?”

“Okay. And then construction, permitting, construction, everything else, what would be a good target date to shoot for for opening?”

“So given the timeline, we're talking eight months to a year, does that change our 27 budgets since our budget ends in September?”

“Yeah, I want to echo that, too, because I was the one that asked the direct question. If we had a budget, it kind of doesn't look good. So I hope that if we are going to walk something on, that we've got all our facts straight from the get-go.”

“So just to recap, we don't actually get the funding. The funding is reserved for us, and we get paid as we have invoices submitted to the county. Is that correct?”

“You're going to try to get the money back, right? So for sure. Um, but no, that, that the main reason is, is the mountain house was not beach and shoreline.”

“Yeah, just for the record, the budget for the TDC for beach and shoreline was 12.9, almost 13 million, and we got almost a million of that back. And we were... We're able to do the budget without tapping into the TDC's reserves, which is huge. So I think the entire TDC did a great job recommending the beach and shoreline projects that we did have countywide, and we were a great benefactor of it. Well, obviously the pier is something that... Well, that's where the reserves... That's why we don't touch our reserves because... A lot of that money from the TDC came from the reserve fund. And a…”
