Letter of appreciation for town hall workshop success

Thank you to all of the residents, business owners and organization representatives who attended the city of Sanibel Town Hall Workshop on Feb. 15. The workshop allowed residents an opportunity to provide input on long-range planning needs for the city of Sanibel. There was an impressive turn out of just under 200, with 28 people providing valued input to council. Additional written comments were submitted prior to the meeting, as well as continued written comments being submitted to the city post meeting. All comments received are, and will continue to be, reviewed by council and staff as we prepare for our Strategic Planning Retreat.
We especially thank the staff of The Community House for hosting the event and to all the residents who helped with its planning and execution. The input received at the workshop is both timely and important. The city council will hold a Strategic Planning Retreat on March 12 and March 16 to develop long-term strategic goals for Sanibel. The retreat meetings will take place at City Hall and are open to the public, and we encourage you to attend.
Thank you for your ongoing participation to ensure we continue to be the best community to live, work and play in.
The Sanibel City Council consists of five members elected to serve four-year staggered terms. The current members are Mayor Holly D. Smith, Vice Mayor Richard Johnson and Councilmembers Dr. Scott Crater, John Henshaw and Mike Miller.
