Annual Budget Fiscal Year 2004 - 2005 LeeLee CountyCounty Southwest Florida Annual Budget Fiscal Year 2004 - 2005 About the cover: The Everglades and 10,000 Islands are a masterpiece of nature. This subtropical wilderness is home to a plentiful flora and fauna. It is known for its rich bird life, particularly large wading birds, such as the roseate spoonbill, wood stork, great blue heron and a variety of egrets. It contains both temperate and tropical plant communities. Each species is an important part of the Everglades ecosystem. The Everglades are made up of complex ecosystems; freshwater swamp, brackish estuaries, and saltwater mangroves. Mangroves flourish in salty environments because they are able to obtain freshwater from saltwater. Some have the ability to block absorption of salt at their roots while others secrete excess salt through their leaves, allowing them to flourish where other trees would die. Mangroves contribute to the overall health of Florida’s southern coastal shoreline and provide a protected habitat for a variety of fish and crustaceans. Mangroves are one of Florida’s true natives and part of the state's heritage. FISCAL 2005 BUDGET Final Budget Fiscal Year 2004-2005 The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented an award for Distinguished Presentation to the Lee Board of County Commissioners for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2003. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communications device. The award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

Lee. The County, located on the Gulf coast of Florida, encompasses approximately 811 square miles including several small islands in the Gulf of Mexico. The County is bordered by Charlotte County to the north, Hendry County to the east and Collier County to the south. Three incorporated municipalities are located on the mainland: Fort Myers (the County seat), Bonita Springs and Cape Coral; Fort Myers Beach, a fourth municipality, is located on Estero Island and a fifth municipality, Sanibel, is situated on the island of the same name. The unincorporated communities include Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Tice, Alva, Pine Island, Matlacha and Captiva Island. The following table shows the number of square miles within each incorporated municipality and the County: Square Land Area Miles Fort Myers 21.4 Cape Coral 113.6 Sanibel 14.2 Fort Myers Beach 2.7 Bonita Springs 33.0 Unincorporated Area 626.4 Lee County Total 811.3 Source: Lee County Budget Services. Lee County’s climate can be classified as subtropical with temperatures averaging from 53 degrees low to 74 degrees high Fahrenheit in January to 75 degrees low to 91 degrees high Fahrenheit in August. POPULATION The County’s boundary is the same as Fort Myers – Cape Coral Metropolitan Statistical Area (‘MSA’). The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, has determined it to be the third fastest growing MSA for the last ten years. The County’s population has increased from 205,266 in 1980 to 335,113 in 1990, an increase of 63.26%. This compares to a 32.83% increase for Florida and a 9.80% increase for the nation. The 2000 Census population for Lee County was 440,888 representing a 31.56% increase over 1990. This growth compares to a 23.53% population increase for Florida between 1990 and 2000 and a 13.05% population gain for the United States between 1990 and 2000. The estimated 2005 population for Lee County is 541,344. Of the State’s 20 MSA’s based upon 2000 population, the Fort Myers – Cape Coral MSA moved from 13th in size in 1970 to 10th in 2001. LEE COUNTY 8 FISCAL 2005 BUDGET LEE COUNTY GOVERNMENT Lee County, Florida is a political subdivision of the State of Florida governed by the State Constitution and general laws of the State of Florida. It was founded in 1887 and became a Charter County upon the enactment of its County Charter approved by the voters on November 5th, 1996 and effective as of January 1st, 1997. The five-member Board of County Commissioners (the ‘Board’) is the legislative and governing body of the County. Each County Commissioner is elected at large for a four-year-term of office, and each Commissioner represents and resides in one of the five Commission Districts. The Board elects a Chairman who serves as its presiding officer. The Clerk of the Circuit Court is ex-officio Clerk of the board and auditor, recorder and custodian of all County funds. The Clerk administers the County’s fiscal activities on behalf of the Board. The Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Property Appraiser, the Sheriff, the Supervisor of Elections and the Tax Collector are separate, elected constitutional offices in the State of Florida. The budgets of the Property Appraiser and the Tax Collector are submitted directly to the State of Florida Department of Revenue for approval. The Clerk of Circuit Court (to the extent of his function as ex- officio Clerk to the Board and amounts above his fee structure as Clerk to the Circuit and County Courts), Sheriff, and Supervisor of Elections prepare budgets for their general funds which are submitted to and approved by the Board. The County Manager, the chief administrative official of the County, is appointed by and serves under contract to the Board. This official is directly responsible to the Board for administration and operation of twenty-two operating departments and divisions. These include County Administration, Human Services, Visitor & Convention Bureau, Community Development, Public Works which oversees, Transportation, Utilities, Solid Waste, Natural Resources and Construction and Design. Also among the twenty-two operating departments and divisions are twelve independent divisions reporting to CountyAdministration

  • Annual Report 2 0 0 3 - 2 0 0 4 ~ 1 ~ PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT
    Annual Report 2 0 0 3 - 2 0 0 4 ~ 1 ~ PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT ince opening to students on a beautiful day in August 1997, Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) has Sexceeded all expectations! We have much to be proud of at the completion of just seven short years – and we are excited about our role as a transformational engine for Southwest Florida. Our many accomplishments have been made possible through the dedication of our students, faculty, staff, boards, advisory committees, elected officials, community partners, and donors. We are a dynamic institution on the move, with student enrollment increasing from 2,700 in 1997 to more than 6,000 students today. We recently opened a student union, art building, sixth phase of student residences, Alico Arena, baseball and softball complex, Lee County/FGCU Aquatics Center, and most recently, Sugden Welcome Center. Current projects under development include the WCI Green Building Demonstration and Learning Center, Kleist Health Education Center, Naples Botanical Garden Laboratory and Herbert J. Sugden Hall for Resort & Hospitality Management. These new facilities will complement our current campus buildings, and we’re planning for even more growth. In addition to outstanding facilities and academic programs, FGCU’s research initiatives offer significant benefit to citizens of our region and state and will be a cornerstone of new high-technology research parks under development near the campus. Each day here, I am inspired and renewed by the enthusiasm of our students and the dedication of our faculty and staff. Significant accomplishments at FGCU both inside and outside the classroom are gaining national attention, and the entire University community is working together to deliver the best education possible.
