Lee Board of County Commissioners voted Sept. 16 to expand a new Boca Grande parking committee from seven to 15 members, ensuring broader representation as the panel reviews rules passed in August. Those rules removed public parking from First through 19th streets and limited downtown spaces to 3 hours unless drivers have a permit. Each commissioner will now appoint three members, with applications advertised to the public, and a supermajority will be required for recommendations. Commissioner David Mulicka pushed for the changes, saying the revised plan ensures all voices are heard, while Commissioner Kevin Ruane, who initially nominated all seven members, said he supports the broader approach.
