COVID-19: Bonita Springs relaxing safety restrictions


Private businesses are not affected by the ruling and can still require masks for entry.
Councilor Jesse Purdon said the city is following the state decisions.
“I feel like the majority of folks are ready to move forward,” Purdon said. “One piece of that is being open to everything.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order earlier this month that will outlaw local mask mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions beginning July 1.
This would include Estero, as employees are required to wear masks in Village Hall, spokeswoman Marilyn Edwards said. The Estero Village Council also requires all councilors and attendees to wear masks at public meetings. The public microphone is disinfected after every public comment.

Bonita Springs Council debates future of Imperial Crossing on Old 41 Road


Councilors continued the debate without coming to a solid answer during a Wednesday meeting. Councilors went on tangents as separate ideas came forward, leading to some frustration and confusion. It was eventually voted to have a facilitator lead another workshop to stop any off-the-rails conversations.
“I think more, at this point, you need to get down to basics,” City Attorney Derek Rooney told the council. “Maybe, perhaps, to take some of the personalities out of it, I would recommend a meeting facilitator to help you discuss these ideas.”
One matter was clear cut despite the cacophony of opinions: The waterfront should stay open to the residents.
