III. BACKGROUND AND IMPLICATIONS OF ACTION

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This notice concerns a proposed extension of a burn ban and state of local emergency in Lee County due to severe drought conditions. The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering resolutions to ratify a 12th extension and adopt a 13th extension of the burn ban. These extensions would continue prohibitions on outdoor burning and other outdoor ignition sources as outlined in Lee County Ordinance 18-09. The current state of local emergency is planned to remain in effect for 30 days and may be extended in seven-day increments. This action is currently under review by the Board. While this item does not involve direct construction, it impacts outdoor activities and may influence the timing of land clearing, landscaping, and other outdoor work. Contractors and suppliers involved in site preparation, grading, and landscaping should monitor these developments as they could affect project schedules and operational requirements.
