37. Approve Budget Transfer from TDT Common Reserve for City of Sanibel Lighthouse Beach Park

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners has approved a budget transfer of $2,148,209 from the Tourist Development Tax Common Reserve to support the construction of a pier at Lighthouse Beach Park in Sanibel. This project, proposed by the City of Sanibel, was not in the current fiscal year budget. Staff will coordinate with the City of Sanibel to review project details and create an interlocal agreement for the Beach and Shoreline Funding Program. This agreement will be presented to the Board for approval at a later date, and there is currently no set timeline for the project. The scope of work will involve the construction of the pier, which will likely include site preparation, foundation work, pier structure assembly, and final finishing. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the City of Sanibel or Lee County staff to understand project details and potential involvement as the interlocal agreement is developed, as this early engagement can provide an advantage before bids and permits are finalized.
