Summer 2015 Update for Cape Coral
The quarterly newsletter from city hall, “On The Move”, was recently mailed to all residents and businesses in Cape Coral. The front page highlights the decision of the Florida Supreme Court ruling regarding the Fire Assessment. The Court ruled in favor of the city to collect the assessment. These monies will be used for paving roads, upgrading capital equipment, and reducing property taxes. The monies have been collected and held in escrow for two years pending the decision.
Other highlights include:
Water Testing Scam. Our drinking water is constantly tested and meets state and federal standards. A company is offering to test resident’s water for free but then will try to sell them unnecessary high priced filtration equipment.
Hurricane Season is June 1 through November 30. Have a plan. Make a kit. Be informed. With more rain there will be more water on the roadways, too.
Proper Palm Pruning. Too much pruning, such as a ‘hurricane cut’ can cause damage to a tree. Only remove the truly dead fronds, otherwise you’ll be removing a reservoir of nutrients due to a lack of potassium and/or magnesium in the fill dirt.
Single-family Home Permits on the Rise. 209 permits were issued Jan-Mar of this year and is the highest number since Apr-Jun of 2007.
Also, don’t miss the Parks & Recreation center pull-out with upcoming events or go to www.CapeParks.com for more info. The Red, White, & Boom celebration is set for July 4th at the foot of the Cape Coral Bridge. Lots more information is included in this compact publication so take time to read about the latest happenings in Cape Coral.
