New Business: Bob Fernandez reported that the County held a town hall meeting in Immokalee recently
in order to bring local government closer to the people that it serves. He said it was a worthwhile event
and that the next meeting would be the following night at the Golden Gate Community Center where the
main topic of discussion would be the County's landfill issue. He said that garbage collection was also a
problem in Immokalee because there are multi-family conditions in single family environments.
The Productivity Committee (PC) offered their support to the County Administrator in his issue with the
BCC.
After Mr. Fernandez left the meeting the PC discussed how to help the County Administrator and decided
to write a letter of support to the commissioners.
