Lee County opens up official portal for island Parking Committee

Lee County has opened up the official portal to apply for the Boca Grande Parking Committee. The committee was announced Aug. 5, and applications were expanded to a wider audience in September. The application is online.

The landing page for the commission is up to date, and shows that all the committee positions are vacant. It also contains the number and contact information for the parking committee staff liaison, Nathan Thoman. People can apply at any time. Each commission member has the right to appoint three members to the committee.

The county told the Beacon that applicants are welcome to submit a resume with their application. It is not required, but always welcome. The top of the application also says where to mail or email the completed paperwork. Appointments to the committee will be made at regularly scheduled board meetings. That agenda item is always listed under “Commissioners’ Items/ Committee Appointments.”

Steps include:

1. Go to leegov.com

2. On the top, or the page near the upper left, you will see the word GOVERNMENT in white. Hover over that and select the dropdown menu item called Advisory Committees. That takes you to County Commission Advisory Committees. 

3. Then look in the middle of the second paragraph on the landing page for the hyper link to “Advisory Committee Search”

4. Then look in the searchable box on that landing page. You will see Boca Grande Parking Committee. Click to highlight it and then hit the box “Retrieve Committee Info”

There are applications online in both Word and PDF format on the Advisory Committee page.
