At its meeting this morning, the HGRD Board of Supervisors declared an official State of Emergency for the District and passed an Emergency Resolution:
Whereas the Governor of the State of Florida has declared a State wide Emergency as a result of Hurricane Ian and; Whereas the Herons Glen Recreation District has sustained significant damage as a result of Hurricane Ian and; Whereas the damage has created health and safety issues for the residents of Herons Glen and; Whereas immediate action is required to remediate these issues for the health and safety of the residents of Herons Glen; Therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Supervisors of the Herons Glen Recreation District declare a State of Emergency for the Herons Glen Recreation District and authorize the General Manager to take such action as required to immediately remediate all damage created by Hurricane Ian.
Other Notes:
· The Board voted to delay the pool deck renovation until sometime in the Spring. Additional information will be forthcoming.
· We would like to thank you for contributing to the Employee Relief Fund. In a display of unselfishness, to date we’ve had over 25 hourly employees (of the eligible 62) opt-out of the pool fund so staff members who need it the most will be able to split more money.
After meeting with Nancy Peters (Residents Events) and Bruce Johnson (Veterans of the Glen), the deadline for donations will be October 25th. For those still wishing to donate, please make your checks payable to the ‘Veterans of the Glen’ with a noted memo indicating a contribution to the Herons Glen Employee Relief Fund. Mailed checks should be addressed to ‘Veterans of the Glen’ in care of Herons Glen Recreation District, 2250 Herons Glen Blvd, Suite 100, North Fort Myers, FL 33917. Checks may also be dropped in the Herons Glen Recreation District lock box outside the Administration Office. Thank you again for your generosity.
